Rat Rod Jeep Death-Wish Trip! - Roadkill Episode 15
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- David Freiburger claims that this road trip on this episode of Roadkill is the most stupid thing that he and Mike Finnegan have ever done. Freiburger wanted to do a Jeep trip, so Finnegan bought an old Willys flatfender--one that had been turned into a two-wheel-drive rat rod using some very sketchy fabrication. The guys made it semi-safe, then hit the road to drive to the Desert Bar in Parker, Arizona, where they sold the Jeep to a guy for the price of their bar tab. Watch to see the crazy fun in the scariest vehicle ever on Roadkill.

I miss this type of RoadKill, re-higher this editing team.
"re-higher"? Is that the opposite of re-lower? ;)
ikr also re hire
I agree. I don’t recognize the current RK really. Finnegan isn’t on it all the time either. I miss these first three seasons or so. It was charmingly simple
*Rehire
@@chrisdooley6468 I'm thinking of buying motortrend on demand for like a month to see all the new RK episodes, I stopped watching when they moved off youtube. Do you think it's worth it?
I can't tell if "Loose Nuts" is the name of the Jeep or a warning from the previous owner that the thing is about to fall apart. hahahaha
well it did have bolts that were too small to make it all the way through the nut.
Ashton Rountree probably both
it is a disclaimer
Yes.
Maybe both 😂😂😂

Shouldn't be legal to call a place a bar if it closes at 6
lol true, but this bar doesn't have any kind of hard wiring or plumbing. the whole place is powered by solar panels and once it starts getting dark they can only keep the lights on for so long before the batteries start to go. l mean if it was just lights then they could keep the place jumping all night but they have music, electronic cooking, and they use that stuff all day long as well so they can't have too many batteries because they will never charge since all the panels are powering the bar during the day. the amount of batteries they have to run the place after dark is minimal, so they kick everybody out and use what's left of their power to clean the place up and keep the food fresh all night.
they have never heard of a generator?
tank2449+ to power a place that big, that would be a big generator and it would drink gas faster than a 460 bigblock. solar panels make more sense because the sun's energy will last way longer than we will. also it doesn't matter anyways because this isn't the kind of place where you would want to stay all night long, it's kind a day hangout like place where off roaders can stop have a beer and party a little bit and then go home. driving to and from this place at night is a very bad idea, because it's easier to get stuck in some fine sand or mud or whatever when it's dark outside and then ad being drunk on top of that.
Electronics For Fun since when can a place be open to the public without a restroom since there’s no plumbing, it’s PA that is not legal at all

After Top Gear UK being fucked up, you and RCR are the only hope. Keep doin' what you're doin'.
+Andirokçi Keko check out Haggard Garage
+Boalacrosse They make shitty little blogs not an actual show imo.
+Andirokçi Keko RCR is easily my favorite chanel
+Rudi van Wyk haggard garage isn't many (including my) cup of tea... they may be popular, but it's a more or less useless show to those of us with moderate to upper class vehicles we don't want to carelessly mod, at least that goes for my 07 infinity. Roadkill really knows how to entertain, aside from their content, the personalities to boot are just spot on.
RanchOwnzU Yeah and I find Roadkill to actually be informative, I've figured out the basics of an american v8 engine just by watching roadkill. And Frieburger is doing that engine show in which he really shows off his knowledge of mechanics. Don't get me wrong I am only 19 and would like to mod a jalopey and drift it, and mod my daily to a degree etc etc but I just don't find haggards videos to be useful, the information is not laid out in a concise and cohesive manner.
Story of my life...
"Does it run good?"
"No" He says confidently
Thats how it went with my buddys first car a 1978 chevy camaro z28 four speed
Me: does it run good?
Him: no i had to push it the last mile home
Me tho
"Riding in this might be so miserable that you just crave the relief that only sweet death can bring"
Jack Hintze lol i read this comment just as they said that
Lmao me too! 🤯
I need help, i cant stop watching roadkill
Charlie Prince me either
épic charley im with you there bud
+Charlie Prince neither can i
+Charlie Prince know the feeling....
+Charlie Prince This was the first time I saw roadkill.... It's a good show.
that bar lost a lot of free advertising. why no cameras?
With over 5 million views... ya lost a ton of advertising. Dumbasses!
probably an illegal bar with no licences. shame, would have finished the story nicely.
Well, I was also thinking that part of the appeal of going to the bar is the mystery about it.
mike allen well its a small bar so they probably don't want a lot of people
and it's weird because RVing youtubers go to that bar all of the time with their gopro cameras and vlog the place l mean it's not much different it's not like roadkill is a TV show.
No airbags... no seatbelts .... legal on the streets .... god bless murica^^
its called America
***** you dont understand the joke behind the spelling.
who cares? they're liable for their own safety.
Here in Austria u pay a 90€ fine (122USD) if you dont use your seatbelts
and you can not get plates here for this jeep
Micky Sypal they didnt have plates lol they just got lucky
what legendary Bar closes at fucking sundown?
🌠🌇Beard
Terry Jackson beard is love beard is life
I guess not a good one, cause they dont want any cameras near it
PeteDGAF Full of minor's???
maybe its a titty bar
I was dying when he said friburger was his dad 😂
The builder took "loose nuts" a bit too literal
FDanielon so true 🤣🤣
This is the greatest show on the internet!
I've only just discovered it and have already wasted many hours.
My wife thinks I'm strange for looking up junk cars on eBay.
As long as that junk isn't _garbage_, you're fine.
I looked up a junked 68 charger found one for $1,000 ...it was legit only the body , no tansmission.....no engine.....no wheels/suspension......no interior...i wanted it soooooooooooooo bad cause since its only the body u can do whatever u want to it
This is the greatest show on the internet?

"hold on, that sounded drunk" lol, just a bit
Öp8ä..öo
+Tabarnacos2 yea then put it on half speed it sounds extremely drunk
The builder took "loose nuts" a bit too literal
I love american way of thinking.
"Does it have wheels? Does it have an engine? Congrats, you can drive it on the streets!"
you traded him fuel for pulling you out? must not be in the midwest then. they would have done that for free. nicest people in america reside in the midwest.
Yeah no kidding... I just saw that and meanwhile I live in Canada, but I thought it was just common courtesy to stop and help out for what you're worth.
I'd buy that car
i live in illinios and i agree but the south is even nicer
Southern people do seem to be extremely pleasant from what I've experienced. Being from a foreign country, you expect the coast to be lime and the south to be quite crass. Contrary to pre-conceived notions, you really do get a unique sense of community once you head down south.
Chris Kosinski Not really. Southern people are just a bunch of racists
22:45 Best birr at work erver! Wait, that sounded drunk!
-Mike Finnegan
How come you dont get pulled over? I mean you dont have any license plates.
+V3VANG Luck.
Probably all the cameras following them around means that they have money. cops don't arrest people that have money.
+V3VANG white dudes
+John Hunter nice racism dude.
+CoRRupTioN1986 nice misunderstanding of what racism is and how it works
The lady at the end might have some spare airbags for the Jeep
Waiting For A Century not worth it for that pile of a jeep
SS dude id trade my daily for that jeep its badass and would run great with a amc 304 in it
HA. Nobody gets it
Kinda shitty that the bar wouldn't let you film. Sounds like a cool place and I think whoever made that decision missed some valuable free advertisement.
I'm not gonna be shitty and judge, I guess they think they have their reasons.
Databyterr Because they make Moonshine?
Databyter The fact that they are able to close at six, and all those cars leaving pretty much shows they don't need the advertisement and probably don't want it.
Databyter Its a bar in the middle of nowhere I don't think they are interested in advertising.
They better be if they want to stay open.
POVadventure They need people to know about their business regardless of the method, unless it is run by a rich guy who runs it at a loss for shits n grins. As I said, I respect their decision, I am just puzzled by it. On the face of it, it would seem like a missed opportunity. Las Vegas was a casino in the middle of nowhere. Believe me they would never have had any success without taking advantage of marketing opportunities.
Like a skate board with a Briggs and Stratton on the back... LOL,,, classic.
14:02 god damn fucking $4.05 gas prices smh...
We were topping out at almost $5 at one point in CA.

"Does it run good?" "No." "Tastes ok" LOL!
who pulls over and helps someone and takes or expects payment
400 dollars for that jeep i will pay 1 thousand for that bad ass car
How about you save that $600 and spend it on fixing the front suspension and such????
Hey pal, wanna buy some snake oil??
Got it for 2k
@@briannayohre5198 lol
I love how this guy seems to know the distinct taste of every type of automotive fluid
Its how my dad worked on his 75 cutlass 442 in highscool what he dosent know is im buying him another one for his 51st birthday
Da French know wine... we know automotive fluids :) Yum!
@@jamesprice2163 I know now son.
@@traceyorgan6246 hahahahaha
Actually alot of mechanic I know including me if we can't tell what's leaking we taste it. Coolant is always sweet and transmission fluid has an interesting smell and taste that I can't really describe, and if it's not the other two it's oil
I'd buy that for $407 any day!!! yeah it still needed work but running driving, titled for $407.. yep all day long with a smile.
Hell it would probably bring $2-250 in scrap metal.
Just the sbc would sell for 200-250 even as a core
Samd bag and smc all that wheels worth 400 to right person probably
I remember when they found it on Craigslist a few months later, he said in the add he had no paperwork for it so it wasn't titled.
By far my favourite of their cars in RoadKill... such a gnarly jeep!
I would've bought that thing just to pull the motor out of it and part the rest of it out on ebay,,, that engine is a burnout madman with some tlc!
i'd buy it and build that bitch to be a monster lol. has a very cool look to it
3500 in California
Still one of my favorite episodes..
I wish there were new ones. 💁♂️
"Are You Two Brothers?" "No" "He's My Dad" Lmao
who pulls over and helps someone and takes or expects payment
Apparently that guy! Musta been his favorite extension cord :)
With it being roadkill, and as such the gas is paid for they probably offered and he accepted. I wouldve told them no, but you dont know his situation... his low fuel light might've been on. Idk
The guy that stopped probably ly only had an empty can so they may have given him the money to go get the gas...think Bout it. Not a lot of people roaming around with a full gas can in their car 😐
My favorite part:
"Does it run good?""No."
Any videos on the army green Camaro in the beginning of the video?
Fourth fast and Furious movie
Its called the "f bomb camaro" its either a replica or a real one used in "fast and furious" their might be videos of other ones but i havent seen one of david's
@@jamesprice2163 fast and furious based their F-bomb cars off of Davids
watch fast and furious dude all of them
Freiburgers car IS the real car. Its called the F-Bomb Camaro. Pretty famous car. 1500 horse, twin turbo. The car is so bitchin that they asked Freiburger if they could make replicas of his car for the 4th Fast and Furious movie. I believe they made 5 replicas, they all used measly little 300 hp GM crates under the hood. They look good, but are nothing like Freiburgers. His doesnt get shown much, I think hes trying to keep it from turning into a clapped out Roadkill car. I have the feeling hes got a lot more sweet cars we dont know about.
Freiburger towards the end: "Oh yeah, boobs are good." LMFAO!
anyone else was thinking LSX willy?
Soooo. These guys need to do Top Gear America. They know how to do it. It would be almost as good as British Top Gear. Almost.
No plates, no problem. How. The. Fuck.
Yeah honestly... they didnt even put plates off another car on it LOL. Im from Alberta (no front plate required) and i did a roadtrip to the US and got pulled over cause i didnt have a front plate...
did freiburger really taste the oil?
Yes
Have you never done that?? Hahahhaa
+James Manning i have it doesn't taste that bad... just don't taste too much
if you have never done that your not a car guy
true im training to be a mechanic
holy crap, lapd or chp didn't arrest you guys or didn't give you a ticket? fken awesome!
There needs to be an episode on that Green F-Bomb xD
Watch it in the F&F movie...
12:56 coronavirus ready
Didn't the camera crew they rode back with get a flat tire, none of them knew how to fix it. So finigan and freiburger had to change it drunk.
Yes that did happen they said it in their Q&A episode
The image of F&F changing a tire while drunk off of their asses is hilarious, but it saddens me that people in this day and age don't know how to change a tire.
JRC99 that was the first thing my dad taught me how to do i couldnt fill up the car but i could change a tire (i was seven)
if you crash with that thing you probably die lol
heck, you might even die without crashing.
"wanna Know what death looks like? This is what death looks like!" Sounds like something Al Capone would say.
this jeep is why i never buy modded cars, if i want something modded I'm gonna do it right the first time or not at all. the suspension on it is some scary backwoods stuff for sure.
yeah l hate seeing modded cars because the previous owner ALWAYS fucks up something and that's usually why they sell it because they fucked it up so badly. l mean replacing the fan with an electric one or putting a new carb on, fine... but l hate seeing a lift kit that wasn't put on right and frankly didn't need to be put on at all, or an exhaust mod with a plasma cutter and now it won't pass a SMOG check and can't be registered.
Did no one else notice that hes driving the f-bomb camaro from fast and furious?
its his car
I saw that too
Did you know that he owned that car BEFORE the movie, and he was asked if they could duplicate it for the movie?
Anyone back watching again the few free roadkill episodes left?
Keep it up guys, I love this show!!! Cant wait to see what else you have planned for roadkill
Is this the best episode? For sure, top 5. Or 10. Damn, they have a lot of good episodes.
check out episode 60 and the 24hrs of LeMons. They both had me rolling on the floor
I remember watching this new. Crazy it’s been 7 years, doesn’t even seem that long.
ah man the old days when they both looked weird, im so glad fraiburger shaved the old man mop and finnigan shaved the dad rock beard
lol i love how apparently freiburger can differentiate oils by taste 14:50-15:00
Obviously you have never worked on cars you definitely can taste and smell the difference
He always wears flip flops and it triggers me😂
Again the guy who towed them out and he took gas from them, that's kinda a dick move
what's the bar address? i'm unemployed and i wanna go there, i'll be driving from chicago in my smart car!
Wtf
That's a bad example.... ayyyy

Lo jvb hz5
you can't get there in a smart car lol.
Electronics For Fun they got there in a clapped Jeep rod with literally no front suspension. I think a fully functioning smart car will make it 😂
Is anyone here crazy enuff to build a Rat Rod from a scrap 2-4 man airplane? Just chop off the wings and tail fins.
yes. i am. i volunteer as tribute.
WITNESS HIM!
LuckyGuu that would be sooo cool
That would look amazing
Careful, you'll give them ideas
over six years later still missing RK, sure be nice for the person who bought this to do an update vid on it, if wishes were fishes... I'd have a big barbq...
That rod has a lot of potential, it needs a full-on frame up rebuild to fix all the issues but overall its a pretty cool looking ratter. I would replace those rear whitewalls with taller wider tires so the car levels out better, and use skinnies on the front for better clearances and probably replace the steering wheel with a smaller diameter job. I would also immediately replace the windshield, I hate the taste of bugs.
Good call, but I think it also needs a supercharger just like the draguar. I hope the guy that bought it had a good time with it.
totally man! I'd definitely switch out the batman shock mounts, slap some lexan in the window frame, maybe a lap belt for a bit of self love haha. Such a great idea just hack jobbed. Having a willies jeep rod would be pretty original driving around town.
are you kidding me? those are the best kind of tires to put on a hot rod, they look cool and do wicked burnouts with the tron styled smoke that gets left behind.
At 11:13 a guy kicks the air
You killed me! ^^
@@cedfra3209 What?
Me and my nana were driving at like 70 miles per hour in her 1967 dodge polara and we hit railroad tracks and broke the belts on the back tires and in started to shake
You'd have to get to a bar pretty early if it closes at 6pm!
actionmethod Yes, like lunch time apparently.
it's the kind of bar where you would go and hang out for the day, it's not the kind of place where you would pull an all nighter.
You guys at Roadkill are awesome. That jeep that you guys were driving without any plates , Registaion or insurance reminds me of when I was 20 years old . I used to own a 1978 Toyota. and I used to drive it with unproper plates , No insurance , no license and back in those days the law isn't like it is today here in NYC . So thank you for bring back those memories !!! Roadkill is number one in my books . So keep on keeping on down the road . FROM : NYC , THE BRONX .
I seriously love this show, hoping for more!
I would pay 2k for that thing! XD Damn I love junky vehicles.
l love clapped out shit as much as the next guy, but l wouldn't take that thing if you paid me to take i. it's a death trap!
Electronics For Fun thats the definition of rat Rod its just random parts Put together about to break apart...
2k bought it and redid everything it’s in Az now
as bad as this lemon is I want it.

How the hell does one not get pulled over for no plates?
You just have to be white
a certain amount of celebrity allows quite a bit more leeway than most can get away with. helps that finnegan and freiburger are pretty awesome dudes.
I didn't know I needed a jeep flatrod until seeing this.
I knew that you ole boys were the editors of both those magazines.
And it's great to actually put a person to a character that I feel I know allready.
Good work man.
when I was 18, Epic burnouts were so cool, now they are hundreds of dollars worth of tires left on the pavement.... sucks gettin old
Maybe you should have paid attention in school so you could have learned how to write and spell.
Willy's had a tailgate Ford didnt
that's a ford
a ford had the holes in the grill horizontal like this

a jeep has vertical holes like the one in the vid
Ford had seven slots in grill, willys had more. 7 slots became jeep standard after that.
17:20 Finnegan is pumping himself up on the jack... that's how you know if a guy is legit.
Man. I freaking LOVE this show!
At first I thought this was LSX Willys....
I want a jeep exactly like this one- just without all the technical problems...How expensive would it be to create this?
Small loan of a million dollars
Probably less that $15,000 if you do it all yourself and if you can find a donor jeep.
About 30 cents per hundred at current scrap prices
Only in America you can get away with something like this. An that's why I love her!
"i don't care, let's just get to the beer" another great quote from our boys at roadkill
The bar must operate on Finnenomics too! What's the point of a secret business? If you're laundering money, sure. But a for-profit business turning down free publicity from MotorTrend? What the heck?
Is this the Bobber of cars?
Why did they give the guy gas for pulling them out?
Karl Tirkkonen Bevause it's nice.
Karl Tirkkonen Because he probably needed gas?
Could be because his extension cord got turned into a tow strap.
I think the guy was just broke.
I've watched this episode a bunch of times and this reminds me when I went to fetch my bike last year with a worn out small pickup truck used on the farm. Not my truck btw
It was a 1000km trip in total. The trucks wipers didnt work, tires were worn, the wishbone rubbers of the front suspension was gone, one rear leafspring were twisted out of place and it had a terrible misfire at low revs😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just after I've picked up the bike, as I got onto the highway back home the rear tire burst. So there I was next to the highway, 500km away from home and the spare wheel was so bad and old it could also burst at any moment.
But the truck and all 4 wheels held up. I don't think I'll ever do something like that again😂😂😂😂
13:39 ...oh my god!!!! In USA thats realy a Job,: Holding an arrow with a Name of the store and rotate it for Commercial????!!!!! damn....what a shitty life someone has to live....:)
It's fun.
***** It's an OK job for a 16 year old to save up for a car. It's normal.
+xXMAGNONXx $7 an hour to $10 if you're lucky.
***** True.
***** Also, you could count it as a paid 4 hour car spotting trip, you just have to hold up a sign.

if you mean when it gets hot, then its the ignition coil.

It's so funny that Freiburger keeps tasting the fluid the rat rod Jeep keeps puking out. 14:55 and
3:50
i would do almost anything for that F-Bomb -_-
This car is really the mother´s of all the crap, but, it had been fun to drive it.
ah KJ the dude that said they couldn't do it with Stubby Bob. the biggest naysayer at HOTROD
actually he said they couldn't do this with the jeep, before he did with stubby bob.
To me that car is beautiful u shoulda sold it to me I woulda gave u 600$
