Ethan is my spirit animal.
He's a special kind of person, he's inspired me to keep working on my motorbikes despite suffering though my depression and health issues.
I know yall are swamped in making videos and doing projects, but can the viewers please get one of these series videos each week?
Oh jeez!! I realized I might be close to the same age as Ethan cause when he said "Thats to legit" I immediately shouted in my room "To legit to quit!" right before he did.
Having real music in it really makes this extra special
Awesome stuff as always guys! I'm a tinkerer/problem solver myself - I've made a few machines (out of wood) for my new trade as a luthier (guitar and stringed instrument making) I've also built my own temp and humidity controlled atmosphere workshop out of wood I bought from a 'box store' plus scraps from a giant CNC machine. Wish I had harbour freight over here (original jersey, UK). We simply can't buy some of the gear I'd love to have access to without being licensed etc. your content is truly inspiring and it's nice to see the real you guys and the chemistry. It's all great but doing boy things in a man/batcave is easy enough with smiles on your face.
I think the Humvee liked towing the broken one. The extra load made it feel like it was covered in armor and full of crayon crumbs again.
What colour crayon ya like
@@Kryszthatflufboi the red ones taste like my window on the short bus used to
Crayons 😋!!
In the Army I was a mechanic and had recovery school. The actual tow bar is solid steel and if I remember right mounts in the holes where the clevis bolts on. Those things are horrible for maintenance. Every hundred miles of a road march we'd lose 2-3 vehicles. You guys need to wait for the glow plug light to go off right above the switch. It's pretty easy to mushroom the glow plugs in that engine.
I wanted to make this series as close to a real movie as I possibly could. Between Steven’s incredible shots, Will’s antics and Ethan’s willpower I think we got pretty dang close! Maybe we are ready to make a movie now?
Absolutely Impeccable!!
That would be sick. Love your videos. Came for mini jet boat. Stayed for the premium antics
Go for it the skills and talent are there
Bro amazing shots from Steven. And the editing was amazing. U got something special bro it was like a tv show lol
Bring it on, you've got it in this already ❤
I almost forgot how great it is to have REAL music in RUclips videos.
I thought i was the only one who noticed that??? how did they make that work… it makes the video sooooo much better
@@MadMedeiros They linked the licensing service they used for music in the description. Looks like it costs 32 bucks "Way Down We Go", which I think was great bang for the buck. Seems well worth the cost
I’ll be honest of all the automotive esque channels on YT GHP usually has the absolute worst music in my opinion. It’s like panic inducing. It changes every second and it’s all just generic electronic garbage. The real song was a nice change.
@@diete103 **sneaks into comments and waves** - Emma from Lickd.
@@Lickd This is how you build a good rep, also great service from what I've seen
I mean this with all love and respect, you guys are great, you have to have a driver in the rear Humvee.
I’m a veteran, we did that all the time, that tow rig is not meant to tow without a chauffeur in back for brakes, steering and signals.
I wish someone would’ve told you…
First thing I noticed too. I remember chilling in the back HMMWV driving with my boots up without keeping the thing straight for most of the tow but damned if I didn't get my hands on the steering wheel when we go to our offramps.
I've had my suspicion when they've started driving around with that tow bar, that someone should have been in the rear to at least hold the steering wheel straight when needed. And sadly I was right. It's kinda weird that they've didn't realize such a basic thing (and yet they've replaced flywheel at Walmart's parking lot) o_o
That "flat tow" rig is supposed to have a harness that connects to the electricals for signals and a connection to the air brakes, steering not required. Vehicles are flat towed all the time without a driver but it has to be hooked up/done correctly. I'm sure those trucks will have the hook-ups unless for some reasom they were stripped out but why would anyone do that!
That's what I was thinking, it seemed like the rear humvee didn't want to be steered by the front vee. With a guy in the rear one he could of assisted with the steering,braking and lights
If that had broke on the road with no safety wheelman inside...
I'm with Ethan on this. You all set on an adventure to get these things home. I've watched road kill do a complete engine swap in a parking lot, I think you guys know enough people to make this happen.
I'm rather disappointed in at least Will how you gonna dip out on what you said was your humvee and Ethan who has been mentoring you for sometime now?
And they call themselves bros! Grab a couple of extra cases of water and keep going. You've already got someone ahead of you for resupply! Where I'm from we have a saying "fair weather friends".
@6:00 My guy, when you flat tow, you gotta have a caretaker in the towed hummer. Unless you're towing with a Duce or better, they can't handle the breaking by themselves. Also, the steeringwheel sometimes decides to go for the ditch, pulling the towing truck with it.
Nailed it 👍
Should probably had a tow dolly to put the Humvee's front wheels into. If they make them that heavy.
But flat towing is pretty common? And not meant to have a person in the towed vehicle.
@@AlienBmxican Pretty common for a light vehicle pulled by something way heavier, not this, here the rear vehicle has too much traction and control over the leading one. If the rear hits a pothole or whatever and turns, it has enough weight and grip to throw both vehicles off the road if the towbar is strong enough, though here we saw it wasn't
They had a cable that you use to lock the steering wheel that conveniently kept the wheel straight which seriously helps with solo flat towing. just watch those front tire walls on the rear vehicle like an Eagle. 1776
i am really glad the tow bar failure did not result in anything worse. that really could have been a bad time. hindsight is always 20/20 when it comes to looking at failures but i think you guys all got caught up in the heat of the moment and the lack of sleep & all the other failures probably overshadowed just how sketchy it was to run that towbar as you did.
excellent video. glad everyone made it out unscathed.
Dude this actual music makes the video so much better than the royalty free stuff or random background music everyone uses. Money well spent ❤
I'm pretty sure most of the music is made by Ethan. I remember they were talking about it probably back when they did the og barbie car
I totally agree! That first song was Kaleo” they are from Iceland. The song was “Way Down we go”… their whole album is amazing
Edwin* ethan isnt a musician. Edwin, and steven are@@archangelspythons
@@archangelspythonsMost of the music is made by Edwin, not Ethan. I disagree, I think their music is a huge part of the character of the channel!
A mix of both feels the most polished and professional.
Dudes, I was a grunt that drove these things over in the sandbox. The Tow bars we had were 1/4" steel, sleeved with 1/4" steel. As in the steel was 1/4" formed into a 2" tube. Aluminum was lucky to make it as far as you did.
Also, I love ya'll talking about how it feels years ago, after spending time in the HMMWV. Think about dudes counting down days to end of active service. These are truly time machines, only they slow time... Serious props gents.
This is the single most roadkill shit to ever NOT include Freiburger and/or Finnegan
ruclips.net/video/KMprcQHLlk8/видео.html
This is true
Yup, but they wouldnt puss out over a broken tow hitch.
*MotorTrend has entered the chat* Whatcha up to? 👁️👄👁️
@@Fronzel.Neekburm They have corporate money to track down a new transfer case and fix it
at the 27 minute mark, when you blokes are sprawled out in front of the storage unit, and will has that look of depression . you look like a band that got dropped off at the wrong venue , no crowd , no instruments, no ride .LOL. But I love the way that the show must go on.
I love how comfortable Steven looks. Like he's been there before, many times.
As a former USMC mechanic who worked on those things extensively... driving them on pavement for extended periods of time will cause an early death of the geared hubs, the differentials, and the all-time-4wd transfer cases. They're really meant to be off-road always. (which is dumb)
Fluid breakdown and part failures due to high temperatures, I assume?
Former Army 63W, I cannot agree more. Replaced a lot of flywheels and transmissions on those things.
as an ausie 4x4 driver.[ 6 cyl , mwm sprint, 4.2tdi , super duty, 700nm. ].. id never ever ever, buy look smell, think, about a humvee.. also, not a toyota or jeep lover.. [ some decades later the saga continues. ]. here we went from acco,s , to unimogs, that couldnt carry the same & rolled, to oshkosh. & the ever unreliable landi..
Should someone be steering the second Humvee would that have halped from breaking the tow bar? I ve never driven one or towed it, but it seemed like having someone correct the wheels might help out.
Duramax swap
i'm more of a nerd than a mechanic so clamping an H shifter and handbrake to my desk for sim driving felt like an aerospace engineer-level problem to solve, so seeing you guys just fixing stuff in parking lots is amazing. never stop doing what you do ♥
Pretty sure that with those A-Frames, you're still required to have a driver in the towed vehicle for that very reason (excessive strain being put on the mount going round corners).
I've been involved in recovering buses with tow wagons before, and the only way you can recover something without a driver on the towed vehicle is if you suspended tow it to in effect turn it into a trailer.
"it says don't exceed 25mph, but that's probably just like, for safety"
We don't need safety where we're going
going 70 on the highway with nobody in back steering...
And then they broke the tow bar at 5 mph.
@@larsbeedangerous. Glad nothing happened
@josteincarlsen2905 no wonder it is illegal where I'm from 😁
3:55
“I think that’s just a safety thing”
Would make for a great shirt, or sticker
Ethan is such a hard worker what a legend! The vibes are immaculate looking forward to the rest of this series.
He’s a beast!
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo douchebag*
I think you guys know you are lucky no one got hurt. That tow bar was not meant to do what you were trying to do with it, and you were towing a vehicle that should never be towed like that. I'm just glad it ended the way it did and you guys didn't get hurt, or hurt anyone else.
Seeing no one in that back truck actually scared me. I mean nothing against you guys at all but at least in my experience with pulling and towing vehicles you should alway have someone in the "dead" vehicle to control it if needed.
But even with all the misfortune with the other Humvee you guys still made another awesome video, keep up the great work.
Without comms ans discipline it doesnt work properly. Boys just gave up after minor failure!
I could see that if you used straps, but that tow bar is a hard connection, making it more like a trailer
@@mikebarker6628No, both vehicles weigh the same. It needed a driver for brakes and steering. The tow bar isnt meant to handle those forces at those speeds and both weighing the same can lead to a very dangerous situation. They got lucky.
I learn so much interesting random info on YT that I'll probably never use. But if I ever need to haul a Hummer long range, I know some safety tips.
Yeaah! almost two weeks waiting for the history to continue!
Im so glad u all got hooked up woth Matt towing and Paul from Fab Rats they are awesome. Its fun seeing you guys from here going there and hanging with them etc you all make my down time fun
Man, I was really hoping the group would've finished this together. But I get it, some folks aren't built that way! I appreciate all ya'll keep it up!
Yes! I kept thinking it’ll cut to a scene where they say you know what it’s going to be hard but we can’t leave a man behind but never came😅the other 3 are softies😏
Same here! It was disappointing to hear the flat-toned pessimism from camera guy before the real journey began. Hopefully we get to see a renewed sense of adventure from the crew in the next segment.
I've done it both ways with various combinations. If the towed car is light weight compared to the tow car and has good caster on the front wheels it works fine with no driver behind the wheel. But if the towed car has poor caster and is heavy then it needs a pilot behind the wheel just to help the steering. It doesn't need much effort on the wheel, just a bit on turns to help it find the right track.
I feel like the music is under appreciated. I have loved every piece of music on every video. It just adds so much! Not only am I watching a video about some incredible bros. This editing is totally sick and the music is just *chefs kiss* .
Thanks man. I put a lot of love into the edits - Edwin
6:32 Will has the look of "please don't hurt my humvee" 😂
...is it you...?
Well Ethan just took it. Pisses me off kinda how he hurt my Boy
Wdym took it ?@@joebanana2609
In 1989 we made our shaky HMMWVs smooth out by doing four wheel alignments. Once aligned, 70 was a smooth ride. At least compared to what it was before.
As a Canadian, the 1776 thing had me busting a gut. Everyone knows that is the year that the freedom eagles swooped in with their boomsticks and snatched up some liberty snakes from the clutches of the lobster backs. Not to be confused with lobster bucks. (Redeemable only at your local participating Red Lobster).
This is how it should be taught in schools
Canada is still using American text books from 1974. That was straight plagiary. ;)
My northern friends, we are here when you finally decide to "kick the crown."
Peace from Texas
The ones that are still open
Okay
Ive loved the series, but like others have said, wow.... when i saw that being towed without someone in it.... Im just glad it worked out and didn't end badly.
The production quality on these videos has been top notch.
Would love to see it in a cinema with an audience full of Grind Hard minded individuals.
Keep doing what you're doing.
17:30 1776 is the year Sir Edward Humvee invented the car.
oh yea?
Love it guys! Edwin the overall quality of the videos between the soundtracks, filming style, and quality content really sets the channel apart. I thankyou for always delivering premium extra-sketch moments! Again thank all of you for your effort to deliver quality content and enjoy what you do at the same time...love it!
In the Service, stationed with the Marine Corps, we called that FUBAR.
Such a gamble rolling these down the highway without even looking at those portal hub/spindle nuts!! Mine were all loose lol
What an amazing watch that was, thank you so much! Grind Hard is truly the best content out there. Licensed music was a nice and surprising touch.
Glad you enjoyed it!
24:19 man what a blessing to have a friend like this!
When you started playing "way down we go" I thought my phone had connected to the TV lmao such a awesome surprise
Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it. Kaleo's voice is a welcome addition to any video.
"And this one smells like poop" Lol! "That's a fish". You guys crack me up
Will is the best
That's the comment I came here to make😂
Truckers refer to that smell as eau de' lot lizard
All of you together is what makes it so much fun. Will is the freshly ground retard powder on your entertainment casserole!@@GrindHardPlumbingCo
I can watch this dudes drive peacefully all day. For some reason it’s soothing as hell to me.
Hearing Ethan talk about the support from his wife makes me very happy for him. My Wife is the same way with the shenanigans I get into, and I love her for it.
Yessss! Haven’t heard him talk about her before, and was really nice to hear that, and that he has the support he does. These guys are legends, but behind every legend is a great woman!
If you notice that round cap and connector next to the shifter that is called the s t e - i c e connector. You can bypass neutral safety and jump the starter solenoid with a jumper between the letters s and t.
Ethan is just build different. Such an inspiration for his mindset.
So far the best work you did in filming and editing! Hope this series never ends.
Ethan is not any more special than any one he just have drive ! And you would to if this was yours
Thank you! Will do!
@@frankroll8080I agree I'm like Ethan. But I guess only for certain things. If its something other people would call stupid or crazy im all in. I ride motorcycles in the rain and snow. Hot cold I love it when I'm doing something crazy or stupid. I do it in the safest way possible but just being in the suck is what is fun. And doing what people tell me I can't do
Unless I'm mistaken, Your 4 seater is most likely a standard M998 troop carrier (data plate near the driver's door) which was geared 'stock' but your 2 seater was up-armored at one point which comes with a change to the transmission because of added weight.. and most likely was not originally with the back benches, but rather carried a shelter.. when you start taking them apart, you will notice a difference in the basic components of the transmission.
I think that there is a person needed to steer the humvee that is getting towed.
This is such a good video. I will definatly rewatch it.
yeah this is meant for slow speed towing, so someone else could be in the back to steer.
Have you people never seen a "flat tow" rig before?
@bigcconservativeguy2534 the legal ones here attach to the steering.
Also with a person in the towed humvee he can APPLY THE BREAKS PEOPLE !!!!
yeah, that was weird. imagine this thing breaking at highway speeds, with nobody behind the wheel
I was going to mention how the use of real music in this was absolutely wild.
Really cool to see you guys doing so well, I feel like I was following along you guys just modding toys for a laugh just the other day. This does genuinely feel like a high budget tv show or movie and I'm super proud of all of you guys and your dedication to keep it going. I know some random message of support doesn't mean a lot from a guy down in Newfoundland Canada, but I just highly appreciate the content you guys make and its genuinely impressive to continue to be amazed by the stuff that you all do. Huge props boys, keep killing it. Won't be long now until you have a big studio knocking on your door looking to buy your content.
oh and by the way, can't wait for more. Love the humvee's.
It actually means a lot man! Thank you so much!
Shouldn’t you have had a safety chain hooked up between vehicles when using the tow bar?
Yes! They are lucky they didn’t get hurt or kill someone towing that thing improperly.
Yes they also should have strapped/locked the steering wheel so it tracked behind it. It didn’t look like they did that either.
Only if you want to be safe, but what's more safe than a retired military humvee? These bad boys can survive at least 3 more speed bumbs and some hard wind.
Haha
@@justingould7348 Survival of the fittest.
welcome to modern military equipment. Army Vet myself and most everything i had to use was bare minimum functionality.
(on the oposite end my great uncle got a deuce and a half truck surplus in like 1960 and used it as a farm runner till the day he died. mind you by then it only had 1st, 2nd, maybe 3rd with no reverse and stuck in all wheel. she also had stop signs for floor boards and the bed was plywood but it still ran better than a modern humvee. )
keep doing things with fabrats. would love to see a bigger collab.
Grind Hard Bros. - Its been rough lately and the editing of 1:39 to 2:13 is what I needed to hear. Sometimes it feels like we're "not moving forward", or are stuck in "Lo", But lets "just start with that". Thank you for this soulful poetry in trial and the pick up to keep traveling down our roads.
I love seeing you guys work together!! Keep it up!
I don't have the technical knowledge to work on cars but I'd absolutely be down on a trip like this. Stuff like this looks like so much fun.
It may seem miserable at times but it would be so memorable.
I was gonna ask if you were paying for music. The production quality of this channel is amazing. Best content on RUclips
Yup! You said it 👍🏻
Much appreciated!
I've never realized how much I miss the loyalty and bond of true friendship.
The Danger Twins in a tree in Vegas. Priceless ❤
a wee tip for you guys, use the seatbelt to lock the steering wheel straight, the diffs will let it turn. great video again!
Great music selection!
Edit: Edvin, I´m Swedish and even I got the 1776 reference!
Yeah, it’s pretty good music😊
That sloMo walk-on Will had with the Tow Bar in that shirt, shot me straight back to '86 and the Miami Vice cinematography.
🤘🏼🤘🏼
The music literally makes the video 100000000000X BETTER!!!! Keep grind-hard-ing lads.
Regardless of how successful this whole endeavor is as an adventure, these videos are top-tier content, and I'm just happy to be along for the ride, no matter where it leads.
Come on, you can do it. We are also supporting you.😊 😊😊
My hat is off to you guys! Driving these trucks with unknown hundreds of thousands of miles on them is wild. Best of luck, guys. I can't wait to see what you all do with these trucks. I appreciate your content.
I came from FabRats just to find out the story of this Hummer ! I liked the story except when I seen things starting to go wrong ! The major problem was no one in the back vehicle while it was towed ! Sure you turn the lights on but brake lights only works when someone pushes the brake pedal ! I could tell by looking at that tow bar that it wouldn't hold up long ! Sure you towed it around a little before starting out and a comment was made that it couldn't take sharp turns ! But you guys did it anyways ! I'm just glad that no one got hurt or killed in this stupid stunt ! Please really think things through , look at the whole picture , at all the possibilities that could go wrong and be prepared for anything ! I seen where one of you laughed at comment about the danger that you put others in without their knowledge ! Sure you want to do stuff , I understand that but please do it with the safety of you and everyone around you ! I didn't serve this country for people that doesn't seem to care what happens to others as long as you get to stupid shit !
The military gets to take liberties that will have civilians locked up for. :/
All that long comment is shit because these are Humvees not hummers so you wasted our time and yours
HUMVEE NOW SAY HUMVEE! GOT IT!
I like how optimistic you guys are.
I could literally watch you guys put training wheels on a bicycle lmao. Your videos have the best personality and production value, I swear
Honestly surprised Ethan didn't build a new tow bar or something. Love the determination. You guys are great. Hope to someday meet you all. 100% My kind of people.
Ethan is old school and you gotta respect the drive and determination he has ... Respect my dude
Cool that you're using a tow bar, haven't seen anyone else use them until now and thanks for the awesome content, you are an inspiration!
Hahaha.!! Was just watching fab rats and this popped up!!
The door!! 😂🤣
1200+ miles with a friend that is equally mechanically inclined. Sounds like an AMAZING TIME! Being a Utahan Ive done the sketchy truck drive from Moab to Idaho. Take it slow, pay attention to noises and change a U joint with a rock, stick and pliers🤣
Been waiting for this ! Thanks guys 👍
The dedication these guys have, wearing a back pack and a front pack.
Huvees go brrrrr.... or more like crashing sounds but you get the point.
You might want to check your oil
What’s a huvee?
I used to get them all the time🤣!!!@@YaBoiiMarty
@@YaBoiiMarty its the car in the video :)
Love how we sit with them as they have a conversation 😄❤
Literally juat finished Fab Rats video and Bam!!!! NEW Humvee vid!
Ethan just built like a normal car guy, Cant believe they gave up on you!
Full send for the win
The most realistic trip from a RUclips channel. Other would probably just ship it. Many can’t imagine how difficult and demoralizing a trip like this can be. Keep it up guys.
Lol, your supposed to have someone in the driver's seat of the Humvee being towed
You do not, lol.not with a tow bar, you don't need anyone in it.what drugs you on.
No you definitely should not but you should have the steering wheel strapped/locked. In fact it might even be illegal to sit back there while in tow depending on the state.
@@justingould7348i dont know of any state that lets you ride in a vehicle being towed, these people are killing me with these comments!
@@justingould7348nobody locks the steering wheel while towing, you wouldn't be able to turn
You most certainly should have someone in the back vehicle so that way it still is in control and you can actually turn also
I've made the drive from Orange County to Denver 17 times since moving to Denver in 2006. In a uhaul with a car hauler two times. In a uhaul itself. 2002 BMW 328i, 2009 Audi S5, 2006 F150, 2016 F250, and a 2017 Honda CRV.
If you are 2.5 hours from Vegas, you definitely have some uphills. They are deceiving in that area, and after Vegas to St. George as well. They seem gradual, but they just wear on you, and the vehicle (of course, not always, the coupes were fun regardless of the grade).
My 2006 F150 blew its front main seal on the transmission pulling a Uhaul trailer on the grade out from Baker, CA. That heat, the black asphalt, and long grades really take their toll.
Well executed gentlemen. Looks like a very grand adventure.
Imagine the cybertruck trying to tow a cybertruck
Haha true
I wouldn't have been able to leave it either. I think Ethan is pretty normal from my perspective. If that thing didn't have a rod hanging out the side of the block or a transmission exploded all over the pavement. There's no way I would be parking it in a storage unit. I think he made the right call. Can't wait to see the rest of the story.
"Remember, your equipment was made by the lowest bidder." - Murphy's Law of combat operations
Why do people keep saying this? These hummers are very well built and expensive. They've been beaten to absolute shit and poorly maintained for 40 years straight.
My idea for the hummer. Shave the bottom 60% clean off. Keep the wheels. Its capacity would be ONLY 2 medium weight adults at 12mph max. Maybe a higher percent if it’s a little uncomfortable inside. Or go cart wheels. Funny to picture drop axles with big wheels, even if they go over the body work, but if it’s basically driving like the presidents golf cart, it doesn’t need much. You might need a bigger trailer for your next festival haul.
Glad to see that I’m not the only one needing this video
This is one of the most EPIC advetures I am watching on youtube. Love your channel!

@@cbcen8849 😆
Yes, poor indeed
So late
I love watching the camera pan across zip codes when looking from one side of the cab to the other as they talk inside the humvee
Disappointing . you all owe your livelihoods to Eithan .. and you let him down . No one was willing to help him get back home ...
Harsh comment I know... This was a tough one to post . But .... We Are RUclips
That's why each M998 came with a solid tow bar. No flex, but you shouldn't do highway speeds with a tow on a flex bar. Or further than stated, the piston legs blow out.
always always always disconnect drive shaft of towed vehicle. the oil splash is on the engine side of the transmission power input. The axle side has no oil splash so no splashy = more hotty (or just tow it on a really bumpy road to get them sloshing around) :D
Paul an his crew are awesome ppl glad to see everyone together in this adventure
your videos have become my weekly saturday-morning breakfast content for a while now. thanks for the perfect start of my weekend all these weeks
Sad! I always fancied a Humvee but now I’m glad that I stuck with my Land Rovers!
The Ibistek aluminum tow bars were recalled for this very reason. It's why no one buys them from auction and you probably got it dirt cheap.
I know a story about a guy, who pulled up in his 80 ton road train, at a steep hill near Mt Isa in the middle of nowhere to help a broken down 115 ton triple road train. They hooked up a "stiff bar" and the 80 ton road train took off and towed the 115 ton road train, 100 km to Mt Isa. The secret was, the 80 ton road train had Eaton "dual range" diffs, that had 6.5 to 1 reduction instead of the normal 4.11 to 1. But remember when towing, to pull the tail shafts out, or your transmission will be toast over long distances.
I guess I was a tad disappointed that the fellowship of the humvee broke up. It seemed like you where definitely on the way to sorting out the single cab unit. This is something most people dream of doing. I wouldn't expect it to all be fun. But having some actual hotels to stay at and actual food would make so much difference.
Ive done 2 1000km (700mile) cannon ball trips to buy cars. First with my dad then the second time I took my mum. Flew up to buy the car then drove straight back across 2 states to catch a overnight ferry that's booked out for weeks in advance.
From flying surfboards to rusting military buckets this man knows everyting lol
It's crazy how will humvee came out of the gate ready for another tour and you guys are giving it that without having to fight an ugly war 💚
Will's*
A big reason i love this channel is the music ngl... but mostly because this channel is awesome. Everything you guys do is a dream to me.
These vehicles lived a whole life before this. Cant stop thinking about that.
