There is this special rare sorta people running about completely sober'n clean and still way more off than any stoner anytime could get, no matter how much they would gulp or smoke.
Man i bought a f350 srw crew cab short box back in 2014 when i had a dealer license very similar story this one had kevlar padding in the doors and bulletproof glass all around and like 1/4 steel surrounding the engine bay. Found this all out after i got the truck shipped back to chicago but it was a 7.3 twin compound turbo just balls to the wall fast even as heavy as it was. This one had 5 mufflers on it all wrapped up. Its hilarious hearing about yours. 🤙
No better way to start the morning than with another gem of a Christopher story! Huge thanks for coming in to share these great stories and to the whole VinWiki Crew!
Indeed, it is! How about a Fireplace chat or a Roundtable story hour with storytellers like Ed, Rob, Christopher, and Travis Bell. It will be a Viral masterpiece!
My dad bought an old drug smuggling truck... Thing is a beast ole 5.9 Cummins makes 600hp on a Dyno he bought his from the source though, that was a very sketchy experience...
Smugglers have been a victim of the mail company in Middle and the police department truck was reported in the back of the park in the mail from the police
I had the same thing with my first 300zx. Owned by the cartel out in Miami. 45 shells under the seat, two scales, box of extra baggies, some coke from 04, and a receipt book of all transactions. Somehow there was a old video that got posted to TikTok and my z was in it. We found the guy through image search and managed to convince Florida state penitentiary to let us talk to him. Built na motor? Doesn’t overheat like a turbo. Automatic convertible? You don’t have to deal with broken windows and you don’t have to shift and shoot. For a na vg30 with a stock air box I’m running at 269 wheel from the internal compression being raised, bigger valves, and jwt 500 hydraulic cams.

Love this truck stories. I was talking with a girl and told her some cars and bikes got soul. She immediately moved her attention to another match, and Im still enjoying every minute I spend with any member of my fleet.
never been a fan of huge overlander type trucks but this one is definitely one of the coolest vehicles and fully capable of having serious fun just about anywhere
@@SwapBlogRU - Thank you Swapblog. My stories are 100% real. (If I was making these stories up I’d let myself win a little more often :) Thank for watching and for the kind words!
My old man bought a bad ass chopper from a dea auction in Pennsylvania. The amount of amazing and outlandish vehicles they had in that warehouse had mine and my fathers jaw on the floor. The dea agent let me move a few cars to get the chopper out and that was too cool. He was told is it was owned by a pagan motorcycle gang member that was recently incarcerated. He was the muscle of the gang too and warned us how much those guys love their bikes and to be careful with it. Funny part is my father ended up selling it to a dea agent in our home state. Couldnt have found a more perfect buyer. Got some free fop cards out of it too.
The reason these don’t show up too often is because A) they usually don’t get caught, B) they’re key pieces of evidence, C) sometimes they get shot/burnt up. But the one that might surprise most people is the better built ones they KEEP and use them to catch others.
They’re very common in south Texas especially if anyone is looking for an 08 F250 those are the absolute most common and most stolen by people who do this type of work
Chris "coyote" is the term for the people who are guides. The ones who walk all the people thought the night across the border. Great stories as always.
Knew someone that had experience with these trucks and used to fabricate for them. Boy the things they told me were super interesting. Definitely a whole other world for the people that do those kinds of things.
We are pretty sure my brother has a jeep that used to be used to smugle stuff in a similar way. It's a 98 5.9 limited grand cherokee full roll cage amazing suspension and bucket seats front and rear.
I bought a little rancho about 25 miles above the border in Arizona. It's a remote area with a chain of mountains running down to the border just east of me and the mules walk the loads on foot through that roadless area and then squirt out on dirt roads like mine to load into a vehicle. When I first bought this place seven years ago the neighbors told me not to bother interfering or calling the BP after dark because they won't respond. I found that hard to believe, but it has proven true. I've called BP when these vehicles go past without lights and they just say they have nobody that can respond. Somebody will generally show up the following day and walk around looking busy for a while, then go away. One time I was actually watching the mules under a full moon loading the truck while on the phone with BP, but they had no interest other than "we'll check it out tomorrow." So now, like the locals that have lived here all their lives, I just keep an AR handy and watch until they go away. Our dog will alert when the (usually a truck) goes past without lights and I'll watch everything unfold from my 2nd floor veranda until the truck comes back out and passes my place. The mules head back into the hills and I relax. I can't speak for other parts of the border, but the Tucson sector doesn't work at night and the cartels don't need any fancy trucks since it's all wide open.
I think the next best thing from one of these trucks is the BP Raptors Hoovie had one. Also the reason this story is so captivating is that it's rare to find one of these trucks.
I'd want to find that first guy that recognised the truck now it's been a few years, ask him what he knows because he definitely knew where that thing came from
Batteries still produce a good amount of heat, and probably not the best vehicle for creeks and small rivers. Although I'm sure the batteries are sealed pretty well. Submersible well,? Who knows but probably pretty well.
Amazing story everyone has been wondering about !!! These trucks were made by Cartel's with unlimited budgets. Just imagine the money to be made from 1 successful load, it would pay for 1000 of these throw away trucks. This is exactly why we shouldn't buy stuff at auction unless we are car / truck guys. Always amazing. Please keep the updates coming. We are all interested in these gr8 stories.

The stories make the truck so much cooler. I love what Christopher has done with this thing.
I couldn’t click on this video fast enough
I agree Ed
Happy birthday man @ed
@Ed Bolian why are you selling all your cars? Found something interesting?
Another Christopher story......AWESOME!! Much better than that low-life rabbit. Ed you need to shake that Rat from your neck. 😆😂🤣
I would listen to Chris talk about the first time he ate banana bread, cause he make it the most interesting story I'll hear all week.
He could literally talk about himself doing taxes and he could make it interesting
Very true statements. He can make any menial task the most fun and interesting stories you've ever heard lol
Daang family gatherings? Are you related to Chris or are you just talking about you and your family watching videos with him in it?
Das sad
👍
I’m 100% positive they call them coyote trucks because the people who smuggle are referred to in Spanish as “coyoté”
Yeah mate your right
Just coyote without the accent
Also there's a mod for mustangs called coyote ('cojote')
2:45 I heard "cowdy trucks"
And why do they call those ppl coyotes? Because they stand out in the background and are easy spot and catch.
The accent goes to the second o and you don't put a tilde on it
One of my favorite people who shares their story's I could listen for hours
Monkeys and the diving board are not now available for the first two weeks in a long period of time and the park was built on the fire department truck
Thanks Nerr!
Ditto
@Rothr Warek I-O
As a man who grew up in Laredo Tx I can confirm that this is a really common occurrence. Local car actions are always full of gems.
Are they really expensive or cheap for what they are?
For a guy who doesn't do drugs Chris have awful amount stories about drugs
LMAO!
Asking for a friend...🤫
Ed’s never had a veyron or a mclaren f1 yet does videos about them so what ya sayin
There is this special rare sorta people running about completely sober'n clean and still way more off than any stoner anytime could get, no matter how much they would gulp or smoke.
The business side of that business does not look fondly on use of the products it sells by those in that business.
He might not be taking/using drugs ANYMORE, doesn't mean he never did 😂😂😂
If that truck could talk. Would love to have beers with Chris and hear his stories over and over.
Man i bought a f350 srw crew cab short box back in 2014 when i had a dealer license very similar story this one had kevlar padding in the doors and bulletproof glass all around and like 1/4 steel surrounding the engine bay.

Do you still have that truck?
No better way to start the morning than with another gem of a Christopher story! Huge thanks for coming in to share these great stories and to the whole VinWiki Crew!
NGL im doing the same thing LOL this guys always interesting
Everytime. Kind of like, hey tell us a fkd up story
That truck is dripping with character. It suits Christopher to a tee. So much better than a mundane dealership purchased truck.
dripping with some other things too
Always great to hear another fun story from Christopher!
Yep, you know we like Chris the best!
Indeed, it is! How about a Fireplace chat or a Roundtable story hour with storytellers like Ed, Rob, Christopher, and Travis Bell. It will be a Viral masterpiece!
Christopher is a wonderful story teller.
He’s the coolest guy with the coolest stories !! Keep them coming 😎
Thanks Christopher on the coyote truck update. Pls comeback more often.
"Unsmugglafy" this word is now in my permanent vocabulary. Thanks Christopher!
My dad bought an old drug smuggling truck... Thing is a beast ole 5.9 Cummins makes 600hp on a Dyno he bought his from the source though, that was a very sketchy experience...
I love listening to Chris. He really seems like a genuine guy and knows how to tell a hell of a story. Love his videos.
Thank you for the kind words Sam!
I showed this truck to my friend in summer. He’s currently building 2019 RAM mega cab to look as neat as this from outside
That sounds like the right way to do it if you want one of these. So many problematic stealth mods with these former smuggler trucks.
@@trainzguy2472 that’s true
Plus this way he knows exactly there’s no issues. I’m certainly excited go for ride in once it’s done
Wish I could build my WJ like this with a supercharger or hellcat engine. It’s already lifted Dana 60 front swapped and no light bars lol.
Christopher is such a genuine person and has the best stories! It was a pleasure meeting him at the October Caffeine and Octane meet in Georgia.
Thank you Pedro! It was great to meet you! Stop by anytime!
As soon as I saw the title I'm like oh this is Chris this is going to be good

Chris may be one of the most interesting people around. He has lived a heck of a life
Some people in the comments think he's a bit of a BS-artist. Which personally I don't think he is.

No matter how badly my day is going I know I'm going to smile and laugh when Christopher is telling stories on Vinwiki!
Christopher always has my favorite stories on here, and that truck is probably my favorite recurring story
I love the intro tune so much, every day at 10AM I get a nice little groove going. Thanks for bringing Chris back on!
i can't be the only one that straight up hates it? Always mute it. The stories are always so chill and the intro is so in your face and loud
@@johnpulawski35 Whoa, How did you get it to be that you don't have a picture
10:25 Ed and Chris' motto👌😂
'Seek out sketchy interesting cars cause you never know where they'll lead you'
And to think I’ve seen this truck in person… so cool. Another amazing story Chris.
Damn rabbit and Christopher back to back 🔥🔥🔥
Christopher and Ed are by far the best story tellers on the channel
“Un-Smugglified” the truck. Lol great story as always.
We need a tour video showing us every single detail, make it happen ed 👍🏻👌🏻🇬🇧
I will never get tired of hearing stories about this truck

Couldnt have found a more perfect buyer. Got some free fop cards out of it too.
This dude is still the best story teller on this site. He could probably tell a story about going grocery shopping and make it sound cool.
After this went live, all smuggling trucks immediately gone up in value, the cool factor strikes again
Another great story! Was able to meet Chris at a Caffeine and Octane back in the spring, great guy!
The reason these don’t show up too often is because A) they usually don’t get caught, B) they’re key pieces of evidence, C) sometimes they get shot/burnt up. But the one that might surprise most people is the better built ones they KEEP and use them to catch others.
This dude is one of the best story tellers I've heard in a long time
A third episode about this truck? What better way to start my day?
Christopher Michaels is an absolute F'ing legend
This truck is a legend now, love Christopher's stories
Favorite truck. Favorite stories. Favorite storyteller.
Christopher is the best! Does he have his own channel yet? If not, he should!
He does; I've seen it once. There aren't any videos I think, aside from having a playlist of his Vinwiki channel's stories.
Thank you Ed, always like an Adventure listening to Chris, I’m sure he has more !!!
Hands down Chris is the absolute best storyteller ever!!!!
Last time I was this early, Rabbit narrowly escaped being listed as a cause of death.
I love the stories of this truck, gives me mod ideas to do to my truck
Always love hearing from Christopher. Top 5 VW story tellers.
They’re very common in south Texas especially if anyone is looking for an 08 F250 those are the absolute most common and most stolen by people who do this type of work
Exactly those 6.4s run like a absolute aminal till they blow
Chris and his stories always have me coming back here
Chris "coyote" is the term for the people who are guides. The ones who walk all the people thought the night across the border.
Great stories as always.
You already know who if its about Guns, Drugs, Angry Randoms, and general anything sketchy, the most seemingly straight down to earth guy ha.
How Cool of a Dude is Chris !?! I've watched all the videos over the last yr or so, an The entire story is Super Super Cool 👏👏
He wants to drive it through third-world countries with bad diesel? I'm sure Ed and the guys have a few contacts to arrange such a trip to Britain! 😁
The Cartels could go legit selling these Coyote trucks lol
Lol yep.
There's modified then there's cartel spec....😎
Yeah and when their masterful work catches it on fire who’s gonna come knocking on their door to file a claim🤣
@@stuartd9741 More like, There is MIL Spec, and there is Cartel Spec
Their income with the products they deal in now are astronomical. Nothing else is gonna bring in profit like that. Nothing.
I saw the thumbnail and without looking at the title clicked on it quicker than u can say fly
Yay! Another Christopher story! I LOVE THIS GUY! So good to hear him again.
I’d love to hear his story of how he convinced an alien civilization not to attack earth. That would be movie material.
This guys should make an audible book. Hell of a story teller
Best storyteller on RUclips! Love this guy.
I've waited for a follow up of this truck since it came out. Hell yes dude
Knew someone that had experience with these trucks and used to fabricate for them. Boy the things they told me were super interesting. Definitely a whole other world for the people that do those kinds of things.
"An interesting car will always lead you to interesting people... "
* Excellent outro comment ! ! ! *
"De-smugler-fy" is probably my favorite new word of the week
Oh my god right in the middle of this was the Morrissey Appliance commercial that uses the same stock music as Vinwiki.
We are pretty sure my brother has a jeep that used to be used to smugle stuff in a similar way. It's a 98 5.9 limited grand cherokee full roll cage amazing suspension and bucket seats front and rear.
THE GOAT IS BACK!!!!!
Rabbit is not in this video
This is the best running story I've been invested in.
Lol. Again this dude is a very good story teller. There’s hardly been a story I believed.
We need to see him do a full walk around on the truck
I bought a little rancho about 25 miles above the border in Arizona. It's a remote area with a chain of mountains running down to the border just east of me and the mules walk the loads on foot through that roadless area and then squirt out on dirt roads like mine to load into a vehicle.

Yaas! A new Christopher story! Best story teller on VinWIKI!
My favorite storyteller was rabbit for the longest time, but Christopher has grown on me alot and is always entertaining.
R.I.P Rabbit
"Unsmugglify" what a great word.
I'm a simple man. I see Christopher, I click.
Love hearing VinWIKI stories while eating lunch. Thanks again Ed
And the stories continue about this badass truck. HELL YEA BABY!
I like the first version and the second version of this. I need a part 3 story. Love that truck.
Christopher you’re awesome. Keep on coming back with your awesome stories.
The only "story" channel that never has subtitles. Good one Ed.
I'd want to find that first guy that recognised the truck now it's been a few years, ask him what he knows because he definitely knew where that thing came from
Anytime Christopher is on here telling a story, I'm there with bells on!
Love this story! Keep them coming let’s see more about this type of content
That trucks got more personality than some people I've met
Title certainly suggested a Christopher story. Not disappointed.
Chris's stories are so good!
Had to do my every few month listen to Christopher. Need to get him on again !
It's like somebody bought the _Millennium Falcon_ and converted it into an exploration ship.
#1 storyteller out there. I hit like as soon as I see Chris show up.
Petition to make Christopher the new Dos Equis guy
Just wait till they start making electric ones...quiet, quick, and no heat.
Batteries still produce a good amount of heat, and probably not the best vehicle for creeks and small rivers. Although I'm sure the batteries are sealed pretty well. Submersible well,? Who knows but probably pretty well.
No, electric motors make quite a bit of heat when under load. Otherwise Teslas wouldn't bother with having radiators.
Their called coyote trucks because that's what we call smugglers in Texas "coyotes"
I loved watching these truck videos! Dude seems like a solid guy to have some beers with!
Amazing story everyone has been wondering about !!! These trucks were made by Cartel's with unlimited budgets. Just imagine the money to be made from 1 successful load, it would pay for 1000 of these throw away trucks. This is exactly why we shouldn't buy stuff at auction unless we are car / truck guys. Always amazing. Please keep the updates coming. We are all interested in these gr8 stories.
They’re called coyote trucks because they’re driven by “coyotes” which is what they call people who smuggle people in.
I commented the same. I'm shocked he didn't know that.
One of my favorite story tellers in here!
Smugglerfied is my new favorite word 😂😂😂
Ive been waiting for a sequel and more goodies about this truck
Always enjoy the stories! 👍👍👍
