Join us as we talk 00:00:13.330 --> 00:00:15.830 about everything from gear reviews to tent camping, 00:00:16.750 --> 00:00:20.109 rock... Fucking... Yeah, they're running. I have 00:00:20.109 --> 00:00:23.969 it in front of me. All right. Welcome to Botches 00:00:23.969 --> 00:00:25.969 Off -Road. Join us as we talk about everything 00:00:25.969 --> 00:00:28.250 from gear reviews to trail stories, tent camping 00:00:28.250 --> 00:00:30.809 to rock landing, and all things to do with the 00:00:30.809 --> 00:00:35.450 outdoors. Today is a... It's a wrap. Episode 00:00:35.450 --> 00:00:38.869 75, by the way. You guys have heard us 75 times. 00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.939 Sorry about that. Yeah, I mean, it is what it 00:00:43.939 --> 00:00:45.560 is at this point. I don't think it's going to 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:51.200 stop anytime soon. Oh, but we're going to do 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:58.020 the wrap for last weekend. And I'm going to go 00:00:58.020 --> 00:01:00.780 first because I've had the most uneventful weekend. 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:06.379 So my last weekend. Pretty much did nothing. 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:11.500 I did some getting ready prepping for the Western 00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:14.859 UP trip that we're about to go on. So did a little 00:01:14.859 --> 00:01:17.480 bit of that. Pulled a bunch of stuff out of the 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:21.840 truck. Prioritized what we didn't need. And grabbed 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:24.879 anything that could be charged or needed to be 00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.560 charged out of the truck so that I could charge 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.840 it during this week. batteries, chainsaw batteries, 00:01:31.379 --> 00:01:35.480 headlamps, you know, disposable water faucet, 00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.019 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So grabbed all 00:01:38.019 --> 00:01:41.480 that out. Been having it set up here and charging 00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.560 it throughout the week. Charged the fridge up. 00:01:45.939 --> 00:01:48.579 Dropped the skid plates to clean out the mud 00:01:48.579 --> 00:01:51.659 that has been sitting in there for I don't know 00:01:51.659 --> 00:01:56.299 how long. Dude, at this point, every time I go 00:01:56.299 --> 00:01:58.439 wheeling, I end up dropping my skid plates. Oh, 00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:04.819 yeah. Yeah, it's just nasty. Yeah. Yeah, it's 00:02:04.819 --> 00:02:07.120 pretty annoying. It's not even a clean mud out. 00:02:07.219 --> 00:02:09.580 It's just something happens, and I have to pull 00:02:09.580 --> 00:02:12.900 the freaking skid plate off. Yeah. And not even 00:02:12.900 --> 00:02:15.060 that something's happening. I noticed there's 00:02:15.060 --> 00:02:17.419 an oil leak, and the only way to diagnose it 00:02:17.419 --> 00:02:20.139 is to pull the skid plate off. That is kind of 00:02:20.139 --> 00:02:25.319 a pain. I'm not going to lie. And so today, pretty 00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:29.639 much, and yesterday has been... packing we packed 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.120 all the clothes up yesterday got them in the 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.319 truck packed all the sleeping bags up got them 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:40.000 in the truck and now pretty much this today this 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.800 morning i've been packing up everything else 00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:45.699 and we're about ready to go um we just need our 00:02:45.699 --> 00:02:50.500 pillows and charging cords i guess for our phones 00:02:50.500 --> 00:02:54.639 in here and that's pretty much it I did, when 00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.080 I put the skid plates on, I did notice a small 00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:01.479 leak coming out of my, where the CV shaft meets 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.400 like the, what is it, differential axle? What 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.199 would you call that? That's the diff. Yeah, the 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:11.379 diff, yeah. Yep. And so there's probably a seal 00:03:11.379 --> 00:03:16.020 going out on that. So either tonight, probably 00:03:16.020 --> 00:03:20.539 tonight, I'm going to fill that up and see how 00:03:20.539 --> 00:03:25.360 empty that was. Did you understand what I was 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:29.039 explaining with how I fill them? No. But I watched 00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:32.520 a video on it, so. I'm practically an expert. 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.400 Usually you can't get the diff bottle, like the 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.860 fluid bottle up there. Yeah. So usually I take 00:03:39.860 --> 00:03:41.960 a clear piece of hose and I stick it down in 00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:46.080 the bottle. And then I take a, I use my Bauer 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:49.020 pump, or did this last time anyway, set it to 00:03:49.020 --> 00:03:52.460 like 10 PSI. And then I take the basketball inflator 00:03:52.460 --> 00:03:57.199 and just stab it in the top of the bottle and 00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.379 then turn it on. And then it pushes air at the 00:04:00.379 --> 00:04:02.280 top, which causes the fluid to go up through 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.620 the hose. I watched the guy. He had one of those 00:04:06.620 --> 00:04:11.159 thin -nozzled bottles like you get, which is 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:16.180 what I have. And I think he was at the 1A Auto, 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:20.490 which they have some pretty good videos. He smushed 00:04:20.490 --> 00:04:22.430 that thing and wrung it out like a thing of toothpaste. 00:04:22.689 --> 00:04:26.149 I'm like, holy shit, dude. He's like, yeah, just 00:04:26.149 --> 00:04:28.209 give it a little squeeze. And he's just sitting 00:04:28.209 --> 00:04:30.670 there squeezing it out. The whole bottle's flat 00:04:30.670 --> 00:04:32.230 all the way through. And he's like, yep, just 00:04:32.230 --> 00:04:34.889 do that a couple times. I'm like, dude, you got 00:04:34.889 --> 00:04:38.670 some strength. There's no way. It is cool, though. 00:04:38.790 --> 00:04:41.209 Yeah. And that's how we did it. And I'm like, 00:04:41.209 --> 00:04:42.449 oh, that's probably what I'm going to do, though. 00:04:43.810 --> 00:04:50.379 I would just, the air and. uh tube method works 00:04:50.379 --> 00:04:54.379 on any vehicle any attempt to get it up there 00:04:54.379 --> 00:04:56.420 like on mine i can't get a bottle up there period 00:04:56.420 --> 00:04:58.819 yeah i think mark's was the same way i'll try 00:04:58.819 --> 00:05:03.060 and if i can't i'll see what i can do but i don't 00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:04.720 really have like i don't really want to have 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.180 to hook up all my air shit i want to try and 00:05:07.180 --> 00:05:10.279 keep it as simple as possible so i did have a 00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.339 little siphon pump for this kind of stuff i just 00:05:13.339 --> 00:05:16.540 don't know where it's they never They never work 00:05:16.540 --> 00:05:19.819 with diff fluid. Yeah, it's so thick. I heard 00:05:19.819 --> 00:05:21.740 you could do it with a turkey base or two, but 00:05:21.740 --> 00:05:24.279 I don't have one of those either. You can. That 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.800 takes a long time. Well, what does it take? Like 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:31.360 the front diff takes like two and a half cores, 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:37.220 and the rear diff takes like three or four? It 00:05:37.220 --> 00:05:40.199 takes some. I really don't remember at this point. 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:42.100 At this point, I'm not going to be draining and 00:05:42.100 --> 00:05:45.220 refilling. I'm just going to be filling. I don't 00:05:45.220 --> 00:05:48.339 want to have to monkey with it too much since 00:05:48.339 --> 00:05:51.120 we're leaving tomorrow morning. So that's going 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:56.019 to be fun. We should drain it soon, though. Oh, 00:05:56.019 --> 00:05:59.360 yeah. It was on my list along with pads and stuff, 00:05:59.459 --> 00:06:05.449 but yeah. By the way. As you're talking, in our 00:06:05.449 --> 00:06:07.870 chat, I see the picture of my pre -runner I built 00:06:07.870 --> 00:06:11.129 in Arizona, and now I want to build another pre 00:06:11.129 --> 00:06:13.370 -runner. That thing was so sick. Again, your 00:06:13.370 --> 00:06:14.930 truck's almost there. You might as well just 00:06:14.930 --> 00:06:21.350 finish that out. Now, I say we get that freebie 00:06:21.350 --> 00:06:23.269 from Becker. I think we would do that instead. 00:06:24.970 --> 00:06:27.569 Which freebie? You remember he had something 00:06:27.569 --> 00:06:30.029 he was going to just give us because it was hurt? 00:06:30.509 --> 00:06:35.550 Oh, that's right. A Tacoma. That's what it was? 00:06:35.629 --> 00:06:36.790 I was trying to remember if it was a Tacoma or 00:06:36.790 --> 00:06:39.930 a 4Runner. I need to go get that. What am I doing? 00:06:41.689 --> 00:06:45.769 Free. Yeah, I'll take it. We should totally take 00:06:45.769 --> 00:06:47.810 that. It's got a rotted frame, but we can patch 00:06:47.810 --> 00:06:50.009 the frame. Yeah. And we can just turn it into 00:06:50.009 --> 00:06:52.670 a fucking 3Runner. I'm so down. Yeah, just make 00:06:52.670 --> 00:06:56.300 Santoy out of it. Yeah, and literally, because 00:06:56.300 --> 00:07:00.600 it's a first -gen taco, we could just print the 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.040 same long -travel kit I've got on the 4Runner. 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:11.339 Mmm, yeah. So we just... Dude, this would be 00:07:11.339 --> 00:07:13.300 awesome. And then we could get glass done for 00:07:13.300 --> 00:07:15.699 it, so it would have, like, you know, the wide 00:07:15.699 --> 00:07:20.639 fenders and everything. Yeah. Okay, Gavin's rap 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:22.540 quickly turned into something else. Gavin, go 00:07:22.540 --> 00:07:27.920 ahead. Oh, you're good. No, so anyway, where 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.500 was I at? I don't even remember. We were talking 00:07:31.500 --> 00:07:33.519 about the fluid. Oh, yeah. So I'm going to try 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:36.800 and fill that tonight, hopefully, and get that 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.480 done. And then I'm going to check my brakes, 00:07:39.579 --> 00:07:41.699 apparently, because I guess my wife smelled some 00:07:41.699 --> 00:07:44.600 burnt rubber type smell. So I'm going to check 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.819 that, check my belt, check my fluids while I'm 00:07:46.819 --> 00:07:51.670 waiting. and make sure everything's good to go 00:07:51.670 --> 00:07:53.689 for tomorrow, top anything off if I need to, 00:07:53.850 --> 00:07:57.009 and get ready for that because that's going to 00:07:57.009 --> 00:08:02.990 be a long trip for me. It's like for a round 00:08:02.990 --> 00:08:06.730 trip, it's going to be about 1 ,600 miles. Yeah, 00:08:06.769 --> 00:08:10.050 that's a long fucking trip, dude. It is. All 00:08:10.050 --> 00:08:12.329 right, Mark, I just sent two links to the group 00:08:12.329 --> 00:08:15.430 chat. I need you to pick which style bedside 00:08:15.430 --> 00:08:21.009 you would want to put on that thing. Okay. Because 00:08:21.009 --> 00:08:27.389 I like both of them. Ooh, he's looking. First 00:08:27.389 --> 00:08:34.149 one. I did get the first one better. Oh, the 00:08:34.149 --> 00:08:42.809 first one? Yeah. All right. I don't mind the 00:08:42.809 --> 00:08:46.820 swoop. I just like the straight bedside. Okay, 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.220 so we do that. That's $800. Man, this is going 00:08:50.220 --> 00:08:56.179 to have to happen. Also, for $1 ,100, we can 00:08:56.179 --> 00:08:58.360 get a custom one -piece just like what I had 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:10.600 on the Chevy. Yeah. So, dude, yeah, that's the 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:13.740 front bumper and hood and everything. Gotcha. 00:09:14.659 --> 00:09:19.620 Oh, yeah. Dude, I love this idea. This would 00:09:19.620 --> 00:09:22.779 be the coolest botches build ever. And actually, 00:09:22.980 --> 00:09:26.240 their example truck there has the exact same 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.240 long travel kit as what I've got on my truck. 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.639 Wait, they put a second generation grill and 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.759 headlights on? Yeah, that's pretty common. I 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:38.399 guess I haven't seen that one yet. I mean, I 00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:40.799 know you get away with it with a fiberglass body. 00:09:41.740 --> 00:09:45.740 Yeah, it's really common with the pre -runner 00:09:45.740 --> 00:09:48.059 to go to a more modern style on an older truck. 00:09:48.299 --> 00:09:52.059 Like, if you look at, you know, mine, I had 05 00:09:52.059 --> 00:10:00.700 and up Chevy stuff on a 91 Chevy pickup. Dude, 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.879 I haven't built a pre -runner in way too long. 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.159 This will be so fun. Big spray -painted botches 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:10.399 logo on the side. No, seriously, it's going to 00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:12.659 be probably wrapped. I'll probably get it wrapped. 00:10:12.860 --> 00:10:17.039 Yeah. Oh, dude, we were talking about building 00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:21.379 a freaking, what are they called? Rally car? 00:10:21.659 --> 00:10:23.500 Yeah. We don't need to build a rally car. Let's 00:10:23.500 --> 00:10:26.620 just build a freaking desert runner. Yeah. And 00:10:26.620 --> 00:10:31.759 we'll turbo that one. This would be so fun. What 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:36.879 are you drinking there, buddy? An age -old may 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:39.700 -as -well -sponsor -us El Chavo. Yeah. I think 00:10:39.700 --> 00:10:41.759 I just found one in the bottom of one of our 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:45.360 drawers in the room. It's quite old. I bet you 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.100 it's no good. Yeah. I'll bring it over sometime. 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:53.320 Oh, my God. You can test try it. I did get a 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:56.720 compliment today, so I felt good after that. 00:10:58.379 --> 00:11:00.980 Compliment on the truck or on you? No, not on 00:11:00.980 --> 00:11:05.159 me. The truck. The truck, the truck. We were 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:09.279 coming out of Walmart Meijer. And the way that 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:12.440 I do it with like Meijer when I go camping is 00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:17.000 I don't bag much of anything. And I'll grab a 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.539 couple of bags just to have them. I'm the same 00:11:19.539 --> 00:11:21.919 way. I don't bag anything. And then I take them 00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:23.879 to the truck and I pretty much store them where 00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:26.639 I'm going to need them. So I was in the middle 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:29.019 of doing that, breaking down boxes from like. 00:11:29.580 --> 00:11:32.720 the dr pepper and stuff and the guy comes up 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:34.360 and he goes dude i really like how you have this 00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:37.200 organized he goes me and my wife are just uh 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.720 watching from our truck in the over there and 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:41.600 he goes and we're really impressed it's really 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:44.059 cool he's like you you go camping a lot you do 00:11:44.059 --> 00:11:48.259 this full time and i'm like no i wish why you 00:11:48.259 --> 00:11:52.539 want to sponsor me no And he goes, oh, not full 00:11:52.539 --> 00:11:55.139 time?

So that was cool. 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:08.799 Made my day a little bit. I always love those 00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:10.759 compliments. I get them in the hardware store 00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:14.519 parking lots all the time. Yeah. Are you going 00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:16.440 to put that wheelbarrow on top of your truck 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.769 like that? That's pretty cool. Dude. Oh, I saw 00:12:20.769 --> 00:12:23.269 a thing earlier. I don't remember what they had 00:12:23.269 --> 00:12:26.590 on the roof. I think it was a lawnmower, a rooftop 00:12:26.590 --> 00:12:30.669 lawnmower. And I was like, yes, yes, it's spreading. 00:12:31.750 --> 00:12:36.009 As much as we've joked about needing weed whackers, 00:12:36.029 --> 00:12:37.929 I've thought about bringing my little battery 00:12:37.929 --> 00:12:41.049 -powered weed whacker with us, trim some of the 00:12:41.049 --> 00:12:43.909 camp areas down. But, I mean, we really don't 00:12:43.909 --> 00:12:46.409 need it. It's just one of those, like, we always 00:12:46.409 --> 00:12:49.580 joke about it when we're there. I don't joke 00:12:49.580 --> 00:12:52.399 about it. I bought one specifically for that 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.019 purpose and forget it every time I go camping. 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.379 Oh, yeah. But I do have, I specifically have 00:12:58.379 --> 00:13:02.000 a weed whacker meant for my truck. Yeah. I have 00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:05.559 the same one that powers my chainsaw. It powers 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.039 the weed whacker, so it was all - I mean, same 00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:12.120 thing. So I was like, well, why not? The one 00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:15.580 that shares a battery with my chainsaw and my 00:13:15.580 --> 00:13:19.929 impact and my - Everything else. Yeah, that's 00:13:19.929 --> 00:13:22.789 the one I have. Yeah, I need to get to one system 00:13:22.789 --> 00:13:25.370 like that eventually, but there's nothing really 00:13:25.370 --> 00:13:28.769 unless I go to Milwaukee or DeWalt. I could buy 00:13:28.769 --> 00:13:33.110 an adapter. Or Bauer. Yeah. Yeah. I actually 00:13:33.110 --> 00:13:35.289 need to order an adapter because I'm going to 00:13:35.289 --> 00:13:37.389 start using Bauer batteries at work because the 00:13:37.389 --> 00:13:40.370 Milwaukee batteries keep failing. Yeah. It happens. 00:13:41.850 --> 00:13:43.950 I'm hearing it more and more often with Milwaukee 00:13:43.950 --> 00:13:48.259 stuff that's kind of slowly going down. The wall 00:13:48.259 --> 00:13:52.139 is so bad now. Everything. They're all bad now. 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.879 There's nothing good anymore. So why spend the 00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:56.600 money on the expensive tools when you can go 00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:58.600 get a cheap one and it works just as good? Dude, 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:02.419 I saw a battery -powered right -angle ratchet 00:14:02.419 --> 00:14:08.159 on TikTok, the TikTok shop, and the videos of 00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:11.179 these guys beating the dog shit out of these 00:14:11.179 --> 00:14:13.379 things, dude. Throwing them in water, running 00:14:13.379 --> 00:14:15.360 them over, throwing them as high as they can. 00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:17.700 letting them hit the concrete and then using 00:14:17.700 --> 00:14:21.399 them and i'm like this might be the way this 00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:24.259 might be where we go that's how that's how the 00:14:24.259 --> 00:14:26.740 bauer one is and i keep putting off buying it 00:14:26.740 --> 00:14:29.379 but i really need to just buy it i want a half 00:14:29.379 --> 00:14:31.679 inch and a three -eighth inch drive one yeah 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:34.559 i mean there there's been a few times where i'm 00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:36.620 like man i wish i had a right angle right now 00:14:36.620 --> 00:14:40.139 and porter cables got a right angle and the only 00:14:40.139 --> 00:14:42.000 reason i've thought about getting one from porter 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:44.059 cables because i have all the batteries for it 00:14:44.059 --> 00:14:50.159 but Oh, I know what we could talk about two weekends 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:53.580 ago, Rap, when we did my long travel, because 00:14:53.580 --> 00:14:56.320 that episode had to get nuked. Yeah, that's my 00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.379 fault. I moved my computer setup from my son's 00:15:01.379 --> 00:15:04.600 room to my room. That way it would give him more 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:07.440 area to play around, and he wasn't always messing 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:10.620 with the computer. And so I unplugged the computer, 00:15:10.899 --> 00:15:15.090 replugged it in over here. and forgot to reset 00:15:15.090 --> 00:15:19.210 audacity um audacity you have to like fix the 00:15:19.210 --> 00:15:22.450 choose your mic settings and everything and i 00:15:22.450 --> 00:15:25.129 always have left the computer on put it in sleep 00:15:25.129 --> 00:15:26.730 mode or whatever so i've never had to change 00:15:26.730 --> 00:15:33.870 it and we did a rap and a uh episode with uh 00:15:33.870 --> 00:15:38.990 uh brian sweet brian sweet yep and uh i completely 00:15:38.990 --> 00:15:42.769 screwed it up because i hadn't selected my My 00:15:42.769 --> 00:15:45.750 mic, I had, like, my headphones selected in there 00:15:45.750 --> 00:15:49.629 or something like that just automatically. That's 00:15:49.629 --> 00:15:52.309 really weird that the Windows version of Audacity 00:15:52.309 --> 00:15:55.049 doesn't save that. Because, like, on Ubuntu, 00:15:55.149 --> 00:15:57.950 we don't have that problem. It just works. Yeah, 00:15:58.009 --> 00:16:00.570 it's only when I have, like, shut down the program, 00:16:00.669 --> 00:16:02.509 turn the computer off, and turn it back on, that 00:16:02.509 --> 00:16:05.370 kind of thing. But, like, otherwise, if I close 00:16:05.370 --> 00:16:08.730 out, if I just close Audacity and then click 00:16:08.730 --> 00:16:11.830 it back up, it's saved. but if the computer saves 00:16:11.830 --> 00:16:14.809 it it's like if the computer shuts down it's 00:16:14.809 --> 00:16:18.669 it doesn't do that so like i could unplug my 00:16:18.669 --> 00:16:21.370 mic right now shut the computer down turn it 00:16:21.370 --> 00:16:23.789 back on with the mic unplugged plug the mic in 00:16:23.789 --> 00:16:25.830 and audacity will automatically pick it up yeah 00:16:25.830 --> 00:16:28.950 yeah and so i of course i assumed that everything 00:16:28.950 --> 00:16:31.190 was still working fine we recorded all the sessions 00:16:31.190 --> 00:16:35.769 and i sent alex my uh my audio and he's like 00:16:35.769 --> 00:16:37.950 hey something's up with your audio and then as 00:16:37.950 --> 00:16:40.519 soon as he said that He said he wasn't hearing 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:44.720 anything. It clicked, and I'm like, fuck. I had 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:47.480 a feeling that that's what happened as soon as 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:49.799 I heard that it was blank, but I was really hopeful 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:52.000 that it wasn't what happened. Yeah, it was a 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:54.440 really good episode, too, and it sucks, but... 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:59.440 It was. So Alex did his rap to help with that, 00:16:59.460 --> 00:17:03.600 and then I did an hour -long on just, like, stuff 00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:07.099 in the UP and all that. I didn't even do a rap. 00:17:07.529 --> 00:17:09.789 I did like a two minute video that was just like, 00:17:09.950 --> 00:17:12.349 Hey guys, I'm sorry. We didn't get a wrap. Oh 00:17:12.349 --> 00:17:15.349 yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then, yeah. So I did like 00:17:15.349 --> 00:17:17.910 an hour long and then I posted it apparently 00:17:17.910 --> 00:17:22.069 and didn't post the right episode and season. 00:17:22.170 --> 00:17:26.109 So, uh, it should be, it should be changed now. 00:17:26.170 --> 00:17:31.250 So now it should be, uh, up there and yeah, I 00:17:31.250 --> 00:17:33.750 screwed up. We're professional podcasters. Yeah. 00:17:33.789 --> 00:17:37.019 I screwed up. That's my bad. I'll take that. 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:40.460 That's why our numbers have been slowly falling, 00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:43.259 okay, drastically falling since March. Yeah. 00:17:43.339 --> 00:17:45.299 Well, we've been super busy, too. That's kind 00:17:45.299 --> 00:17:47.680 of like we've been really busy. We haven't had 00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:50.599 time to promote this like we'd want to and do 00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:53.259 the stuff like we want to, and it kind of happened. 00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:55.940 My thing is it's also summer, so I feel like 00:17:55.940 --> 00:17:58.099 there'd be less listeners come summertime. Yeah. 00:17:59.339 --> 00:18:01.859 I just think it's natural for that to happen. 00:18:01.900 --> 00:18:05.220 I'm not worried about it. No. No. I mean, we're 00:18:05.220 --> 00:18:08.039 having a little bit more activity because it's 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:11.039 summer too, so when everybody does come back 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:12.599 when they're bored, they'll have plenty to listen 00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:19.299 to. For sure. Yeah. Yeah, so two weeks ago, which 00:18:19.299 --> 00:18:24.519 would be the weekend of July 4th. Oh, yeah, July 00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:28.039 4th. That's when we did it. I ripped the entire 00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:31.720 front end off my truck again, and I put the final, 00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:34.180 well. Probably not final, but damn near final 00:18:34.180 --> 00:18:38.920 version of it on. I did a Rocky T4R long travel 00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:42.519 kit. It's the one that came on the crawler, so 00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:44.759 it was sitting around. I just painted it tan 00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:47.900 and green, because why not, and threw it on there. 00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:53.220 And it went easy. Honestly, that project wasn't 00:18:53.220 --> 00:18:55.059 hard. It was a late night, but it wasn't hard. 00:18:55.880 --> 00:19:01.220 Yeah. I don't even remember why it was such a 00:19:01.220 --> 00:19:04.509 late night. Oh, because the rack and pinion got 00:19:04.509 --> 00:19:07.569 broken. Yeah. Yeah, because my brand new rack 00:19:07.569 --> 00:19:11.430 and pinion got fucked. Yeah. Yeah. That's why 00:19:11.430 --> 00:19:15.049 it was a late night. That sucked. But either 00:19:15.049 --> 00:19:19.210 way. Oh, we had to modify stuff. The brakes. 00:19:19.609 --> 00:19:21.490 Well, that too. Yeah, I forgot about the brakes 00:19:21.490 --> 00:19:24.049 too, but we also modified your upper control 00:19:24.049 --> 00:19:27.970 arms. Yep. Which now that it's all together, 00:19:28.089 --> 00:19:30.329 I realize we didn't have to do. But, you know, 00:19:30.369 --> 00:19:34.599 whatever. It's fine. It's done. Also, I've been 00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:37.079 thinking about it, and you know how he had the 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:40.299 hose going through the upper control arm and 00:19:40.299 --> 00:19:44.460 then going to the front? Yes. I could have just 00:19:44.460 --> 00:19:48.619 pointed that hose straight up and then looped 00:19:48.619 --> 00:19:51.259 the external reservoir over and out of the way. 00:19:51.420 --> 00:19:55.480 Oh. Then we wouldn't have had to modify it at 00:19:55.480 --> 00:20:00.220 all. Yeah. So. But yeah, it's on there. It's 00:20:00.220 --> 00:20:04.019 got ADS front shocks with ADS front long travel 00:20:04.019 --> 00:20:06.099 shocks. I have no idea what they actually are. 00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:09.799 They were on the crawler. Yeah. And it's got 00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:13.740 the Rocky T4R upper and lower control arms and 00:20:13.740 --> 00:20:18.000 all Heim joints and uniballs and no more ball 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:21.059 joint. I don't have any ball joints on. Oh, the 00:20:21.059 --> 00:20:23.200 inner tie rods have their little socket ball 00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:26.779 joint thing. Yeah. Because it's got factory inner 00:20:26.779 --> 00:20:35.009 tie rods. Yeah. Outer tie rods are, they're beefy, 00:20:35.009 --> 00:20:38.250 but not strong. We'll get into that here in the 00:20:38.250 --> 00:20:41.470 next, next week or on Tuesday, you'll hear about 00:20:41.470 --> 00:20:45.609 that one. Yeah. Yeah. They're beefy. I mean, 00:20:45.630 --> 00:20:49.269 everything, I can't say it's done pretty, but 00:20:49.269 --> 00:20:52.309 it's done exactly how I like actual work wise 00:20:52.309 --> 00:20:54.569 has done how I do it. I just would have paid 00:20:54.569 --> 00:20:56.930 someone who can actually weld pretty to do it. 00:20:59.409 --> 00:21:02.569 I'm actually talking to my cousin who owns a 00:21:02.569 --> 00:21:06.549 fab shop about him printing me, well, I guess 00:21:06.549 --> 00:21:08.390 it's cutting, not printing. I was like cutting. 00:21:09.529 --> 00:21:12.490 Him cutting me some new lower control arms and 00:21:12.490 --> 00:21:15.430 welding them up for me, and then same with uppers, 00:21:15.430 --> 00:21:18.650 and he's going to design some new tie rods because 00:21:18.650 --> 00:21:22.250 the tie rods, again, they're beefy, but they're 00:21:22.250 --> 00:21:25.490 not what I would consider strong. Well, one of 00:21:25.490 --> 00:21:32.559 them is. Yeah. It's pretty great. I actually 00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:35.980 don't think I have any bushings left. Oh, the 00:21:35.980 --> 00:21:39.660 front control arms have bushings. Everything 00:21:39.660 --> 00:21:44.900 else is uniball or heimjoint at this point. Basically 00:21:44.900 --> 00:21:49.940 stock. Yeah, basically stock. You guys want a 00:21:49.940 --> 00:21:53.200 good laugh real quick? What's that? So I was 00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:56.759 watching the show Russ to Riches and they were 00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:58.619 working on Bronco and they were going to build 00:21:58.619 --> 00:22:02.680 an overland build out of it. And then it proceeded 00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:07.440 to become a whiskey tasting rig. Truck itself 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:10.980 was awesome. I'll share it here. Give me a second 00:22:10.980 --> 00:22:14.500 to find it. But their quote overland tent was 00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:19.809 not an overland tent at all. At least for what 00:22:19.809 --> 00:22:23.829 we know of overlanding. Was it like a tent just 00:22:23.829 --> 00:22:28.730 sitting on top of a roof? Yeah. Oh. That's cool. 00:22:28.930 --> 00:22:33.970 Was it the one that... I'll see it. Let me look 00:22:33.970 --> 00:22:41.170 at it first. Scott has that one. Oh, that's fucking 00:22:41.170 --> 00:22:44.349 sick. That is sick. I mean, the wheels suck. 00:22:44.650 --> 00:22:45.750 I would definitely... Yeah, the wheels would 00:22:45.750 --> 00:22:49.069 be different, but... I would have done some wheels 00:22:49.069 --> 00:22:51.730 with actual rubber, but... Sadly, there's no 00:22:51.730 --> 00:22:54.529 other pictures of the tent on the vehicle itself, 00:22:54.609 --> 00:22:58.250 but there is one picture of it up and set up 00:22:58.250 --> 00:23:04.470 from the recording. Huh. Yeah, so, um... Huh. 00:23:05.170 --> 00:23:10.670 Scott, Scott from, uh... Oh, what is Scott's 00:23:10.670 --> 00:23:14.740 channel? Trail Expeditions. He's got a similar 00:23:14.740 --> 00:23:18.420 tent going on where it has poles and everything, 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:20.839 and he opens it up and then puts the poles in. 00:23:20.980 --> 00:23:24.559 Oh, okay. I mean, it's prettier than that one, 00:23:24.579 --> 00:23:28.099 but. Yeah. That one just looks like a tent got 00:23:28.099 --> 00:23:29.619 thrown up there. Yeah, I was going to say, that 00:23:29.619 --> 00:23:36.160 looks like a backpacking tent. Huh. Yeah. That's 00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:39.230 interesting. But, I mean. And the build itself, 00:23:39.589 --> 00:23:41.829 although it's cool, would be terrible on the 00:23:41.829 --> 00:23:43.890 trail. Oh, it's not meant for trail. It's for 00:23:43.890 --> 00:23:46.990 whiskey tasting. Yeah. Because there's like benches 00:23:46.990 --> 00:23:49.170 that fold up in the back and everything. Jesus 00:23:49.170 --> 00:23:51.849 Christ. The tent's for if you get too drunk to 00:23:51.849 --> 00:23:57.430 drive home. Yeah. You climb up there. And it's 00:23:57.430 --> 00:23:59.849 six by six for everyone listening. A four by 00:23:59.849 --> 00:24:01.950 six. Six by six. It's four by six. Oh, it's a 00:24:01.950 --> 00:24:07.880 four. Even worse. It's four by six. So what, 00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:10.319 the middle axle is the trailer? The rear axle. 00:24:10.539 --> 00:24:14.059 The rear axle. Because they just added a short 00:24:14.059 --> 00:24:20.059 bed F -150 with axle. It looks so bad. It does. 00:24:20.299 --> 00:24:22.740 Like, it looks cool, but, like, at the same time, 00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:30.279 like, ugh. It's kind of cool. Yeah. Did you guys 00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:33.140 see that shack that I posted that was on Trax? 00:24:34.500 --> 00:24:37.279 Yeah. Yeah, so I was just watching a video about 00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:40.480 that last night. It was an old Cummins that the 00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:44.920 guy used to promote his tracks, and he took the 00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:49.579 body off and put a whole shack on it and just 00:24:49.579 --> 00:24:51.839 drives that around. He built one. Yeah, he built 00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:55.140 a shack on it, yeah. They're out in Canada, so 00:24:55.140 --> 00:24:58.619 it's not road legal or anything, but it's pretty 00:24:58.619 --> 00:25:01.519 cool. Yeah. I watched him build that last year 00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:03.180 because it's been a year since he's done that. 00:25:03.339 --> 00:25:06.359 Oh, has it? Yeah. I watched a video kind of wrapped 00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:08.119 up after he was just talking about everything. 00:25:09.019 --> 00:25:11.519 All said and done. I'm trying to... Was that 00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:15.180 the... I'm trying to think of the name of that 00:25:15.180 --> 00:25:19.720 company that makes those tracks. They're the 00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:21.779 ones... I'm pretty sure they're the same ones 00:25:21.779 --> 00:25:26.119 that Tyler runs from Snail Trail. I think they 00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.079 are. But I can't remember the name of that track 00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:40.740 company. Yeah. But yeah. McKinney. He says you 00:25:40.740 --> 00:25:43.559 can advertise on the side of it for $100 a square 00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:49.359 foot. You guys down? Get some Canadian listeners. 00:25:51.559 --> 00:25:54.380 Do we not have Canadian listeners? We have to 00:25:54.380 --> 00:25:55.339 have Canadian listeners. I don't think we do. 00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:59.940 I don't think we have any. All right. All right. 00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:04.319 Let me, I'm in analytics. Wow. There's like a 00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:06.880 dramatic cutoff at the Canadian border. Yeah. 00:26:07.859 --> 00:26:10.599 Like we have listeners all over South America, 00:26:10.740 --> 00:26:15.759 a lot of the UK, you know, some couple in Australia 00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:18.960 and Hawaii, but then Canada, it's just blank. 00:26:19.019 --> 00:26:24.059 Yeah. Canada does not like us. That's funny because 00:26:24.059 --> 00:26:26.180 we're like their neighbors. At least those guys 00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:28.599 over in Ottawa, like what the heck? Or even Ontario, 00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:32.420 what the hell? Syrup sippers apparently don't 00:26:32.420 --> 00:26:38.279 really listen to podcasts much. Like we're even 00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:43.559 kind of close to Quebec -ish. And we like Canada, 00:26:43.619 --> 00:26:48.259 man. What the hell? I mean, nobody likes Quebec. 00:26:48.700 --> 00:26:51.500 Well, the government's one thing. I mean, Canada, 00:26:51.579 --> 00:26:54.299 I'm sure, could say the same for us. But, I mean, 00:26:54.420 --> 00:26:59.839 the background, the country, that's what I like. 00:27:00.500 --> 00:27:05.240 Well, I mean, have you ever watched Letterkenny? 00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:08.480 Yes, very much. Yeah, the running joke is how 00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:11.579 much they all hate Quebec. Oh, yeah. Yep. Yeah. 00:27:13.619 --> 00:27:19.440 But their Amish are really cool. Yeah, from Letterkenny 00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:24.460 they are. Okay, are there actually Canadian Amish? 00:27:25.019 --> 00:27:29.319 Well, I'm sure there is. They had to have gotten 00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:35.740 that from somewhere. Only in Ontario. Well, that's 00:27:35.740 --> 00:27:40.140 where it's based out of, right? I thought it 00:27:40.140 --> 00:27:51.299 was... You go researching, researching. Yeah, 00:27:51.420 --> 00:27:55.019 researching. We'll play some music here. I keep 00:27:55.019 --> 00:28:01.380 misspelling province. Yeah, it's out of Ontario. 00:28:01.700 --> 00:28:05.940 Yeah. Well, it's, yeah, Letter County, Ontario. 00:28:06.140 --> 00:28:10.119 So I guess it tracks, yeah. Oh. Makes sense of 00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:13.180 why they don't like Quebec then. Oh, and that 00:28:13.180 --> 00:28:15.220 explains why there's so many people from Detroit 00:28:15.220 --> 00:28:20.450 that show up there. Okay, yeah, okay. Yeah. Maybe 00:28:20.450 --> 00:28:23.009 that's why I've watched Letter Kenny, but a lot 00:28:23.009 --> 00:28:25.609 of my friends from the Pacific Northwest or California 00:28:25.609 --> 00:28:28.589 had never heard of it. Really? Oh, I thought 00:28:28.589 --> 00:28:30.609 it was great. I like that better than Trailer 00:28:30.609 --> 00:28:35.329 Park Boys, which is based in Canada as well, 00:28:35.369 --> 00:28:39.730 isn't it? I've never watched it. I watched one 00:28:39.730 --> 00:28:41.930 episode and said, this is fucking stupid and 00:28:41.930 --> 00:28:46.130 quit watching. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's not bad. 00:28:47.769 --> 00:28:52.150 But it's hard to stay with. There are some good 00:28:52.150 --> 00:28:55.109 characters. Yeah, there's some good characters. 00:28:55.930 --> 00:28:58.410 All right. Well, on that note, you should watch 00:28:58.410 --> 00:29:00.650 Letter Kenny and don't watch Trailer Park Boys 00:29:00.650 --> 00:29:04.150 because it's lame. We'll talk to you guys on 00:29:04.150 --> 00:29:06.109 Tuesday. So catch you later. Later.
