Well, I was going 00:04:25.350 --> 00:04:29.410 to post the video today. So I've been working 00:04:29.410 --> 00:04:34.790 like crazy, kind of on the backside, right? I 00:04:34.790 --> 00:04:38.240 built a barn last fall here at the house. and 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:40.399 so I've been working on finishing the inside 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:44.399 doing stuff like that and um I'm not a carpenter 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.819 and kind of funny enough I'm not really a truck 00:04:47.819 --> 00:04:49.819 builder either right but I do it for fun but 00:04:49.819 --> 00:04:53.480 I I don't want all the people like messaging 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:55.600 me and telling me what I'm doing wrong so I haven't 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.300 really posted any videos about it because I'm 00:04:58.300 --> 00:05:00.980 like doing it for me and I don't care right so 00:05:00.980 --> 00:05:04.379 um my content's been a little lackluster all 00:05:04.379 --> 00:05:06.920 summer but I'm getting ready to go on a trip 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:10.019 so You know, the dream trip for most of us is 00:05:10.019 --> 00:05:14.560 probably Moab, Utah, right? So I'm 48, and I've 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.819 been dreaming about it since I could first flip 00:05:16.819 --> 00:05:20.379 through a car magazine. And that's happening 00:05:20.379 --> 00:05:23.339 for me here in a couple weeks. So I've been working 00:05:23.339 --> 00:05:27.439 like nonstop trying to get the rig ready and 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:32.379 then my tundra ready for pulling and stuff. Yeah, 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.399 it's been busy lately, but it's good. Yeah, we 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:38.540 had a trip to Moab planned for next year, but 00:05:38.540 --> 00:05:40.459 we pushed it back to give ourselves a little 00:05:40.459 --> 00:05:43.459 time to recover from building our trucks. Right. 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:50.759 That's always the hiccup because as car guys 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:52.779 in general, right, none of us are ever done, 00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:56.740 I don't think, building them. No. So at what 00:05:56.740 --> 00:05:58.899 point do you just got to cut loose and say, all 00:05:58.899 --> 00:06:02.060 right, I'm going? the way it is because as it 00:06:02.060 --> 00:06:05.199 is the tacoma is great a truck as it is right 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.519 it still is just on a the stock four cylinder 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:12.420 five speed with a fj cruiser t case and then 00:06:12.420 --> 00:06:15.959 513 gears and the one ton axles with 40 inch 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.399 tires so the gearing is pretty much puts it back 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:22.220 to stock my speedometer is within two miles an 00:06:22.220 --> 00:06:25.259 hour of stock which is closer than it was with 00:06:25.259 --> 00:06:27.540 the factory tires and wheels you know when it 00:06:27.540 --> 00:06:32.379 was bone stock so um the low range i really feel 00:06:32.379 --> 00:06:35.000 like going on a trip like that i really want 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.439 a second transfer case or some even lower gears 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:41.360 but at the same time i don't know that i want 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.459 to take stomper because it looks like the daily 00:06:43.459 --> 00:06:45.459 temperatures out there this time of year are 00:06:45.459 --> 00:06:48.839 still in like the like high 80s low 90s yeah 00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:52.079 and um that one doesn't have ac it also gets 00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.800 hot it doesn't like you know extended duration 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.730 low speed moving so um We're going to take the 00:06:58.730 --> 00:07:02.730 Tacoma and see how we do. I mean, I did a lot 00:07:02.730 --> 00:07:05.750 of Moab in a stock TJ. Okay, it wasn't stock. 00:07:05.850 --> 00:07:10.410 It was on 33s, but pretty close to stock. Yeah. 00:07:10.470 --> 00:07:14.189 So I think you'll be fine. Yeah. Was it a manual? 00:07:14.449 --> 00:07:17.529 Yeah, it was a manual. Four -cylinder, too. Nice. 00:07:17.649 --> 00:07:20.949 Yep. yeah and that's my a lot of guys are like 00:07:20.949 --> 00:07:23.610 oh you'll be fine and they're like it's an auto 00:07:23.610 --> 00:07:27.170 right i'm like no it's no it's a stick yeah i 00:07:27.170 --> 00:07:29.870 i prefer sticks for you know anything in the 00:07:29.870 --> 00:07:31.509 mountains anything where you're having to go 00:07:31.509 --> 00:07:34.949 up and down stuff i prefer a manual yeah same 00:07:34.949 --> 00:07:38.350 so a lot of people say that auto's the way to 00:07:38.350 --> 00:07:41.050 go but all i've had experience with is it overheating 00:07:41.050 --> 00:07:45.420 so Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Transmission's getting 00:07:45.420 --> 00:07:47.819 hot. Yeah. Not getting the fluid cause you're 00:07:47.819 --> 00:07:52.819 on stupid extreme angles. Yeah. It's, I don't 00:07:52.819 --> 00:07:57.240 know. Uh, so do you, you have, uh, FJ transfer 00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:00.660 case you said? Correct. Yeah. So the truck is, 00:08:00.699 --> 00:08:04.649 uh, it's an 08. regular cab short bed four cylinder 00:08:04.649 --> 00:08:08.509 five speed um i used the fj cruiser transfer 00:08:08.509 --> 00:08:11.410 case so it was manually shifted as opposed to 00:08:11.410 --> 00:08:14.230 the tacomas are all electronic right yeah twist 00:08:14.230 --> 00:08:18.430 knob um and that way i could use you know super 00:08:18.430 --> 00:08:21.550 duty dana 60 front axle with manual lockouts 00:08:21.550 --> 00:08:25.850 and that's got all like Yukon chromoly shafts 00:08:25.850 --> 00:08:29.029 in it, Yukon chromoly lockouts, and all the crap, 00:08:29.209 --> 00:08:33.509 heavy duty. Air locker and 513 gears. And then 00:08:33.509 --> 00:08:37.269 the back is like a Chevy 14 bolt, same thing, 00:08:37.509 --> 00:08:42.610 ARB air locker. Does it have the same bolt pattern 00:08:42.610 --> 00:08:47.789 front and rear? So I redrilled the unit bearings 00:08:47.789 --> 00:08:51.870 in the front to match the GM pattern, the eight 00:08:51.870 --> 00:08:54.320 -on -six -and -a -half pattern. Got you. So I 00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.759 do have matching bolt pattern all the way around 00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:00.299 so that I could, you know, take a spare and be 00:09:00.299 --> 00:09:04.059 able to utilize it wherever. As long as you keep 00:09:04.059 --> 00:09:10.879 that beadlock tart, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, 00:09:10.899 --> 00:09:13.120 don't let those bolts break and pop out. That 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:18.320 always sucks. Yeah, we're looking at doing beadlocks 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.980 across all of our rigs right now, but we're looking 00:09:20.980 --> 00:09:24.279 at the pneumatic ones. Go inside your wheel and 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.399 then lock it. The inner air locks. Yep. Yep. 00:09:26.700 --> 00:09:29.440 Yeah, Sean Lichty, the guy that designed that, 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:31.379 actually lived up this way and wheeled up this 00:09:31.379 --> 00:09:34.639 way forever. Oh, sick. I didn't know that. Yep. 00:09:35.419 --> 00:09:38.659 Yeah, there's as little off -roading as we have 00:09:38.659 --> 00:09:40.679 here in Michigan, we sure have a lot of off -road, 00:09:40.740 --> 00:09:44.639 like important off -road people. Oh, yeah, definitely. 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.779 Yep. Yeah, there's a lot of people in the industry 00:09:48.779 --> 00:09:53.700 that are from this area. Yeah, we haven't got 00:09:53.700 --> 00:09:55.659 up your way doing a whole lot of wheeling. We've 00:09:55.659 --> 00:09:59.779 gone to Cadillac and then the UP. Cadillac and 00:09:59.779 --> 00:10:05.759 UP. Yeah. We've hit ever a few times. Yeah. So 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.840 I'd love to get together with you down that way. 00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:11.919 So I haven't done, like I pretty much get close 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:14.779 to home or I end up going like a long freaking 00:10:14.779 --> 00:10:16.840 ways away, right?

The fact that they 00:11:45.220 --> 00:11:47.360 just let it burn all the way out, I mean, what 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:48.539 are they supposed to do? They're not getting 00:11:48.539 --> 00:11:52.740 a fire truck out there. So, actually, I watched 00:11:52.740 --> 00:11:55.200 tons of videos across the Silver Lake Sand Dunes 00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:58.139 Facebook page after the fact. It sounds like 00:11:58.139 --> 00:12:00.659 the – talking automatic transmission is getting 00:12:00.659 --> 00:12:04.240 hot. The tranny got hot, puked fluid out on the 00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:07.919 hot cat. That's what ignited the fire. They did 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.299 have a fire truck there. They extinguished everything 00:12:10.299 --> 00:12:14.090 they had on it and, you know. It just kept going. 00:12:14.230 --> 00:12:17.830 They couldn't contaminate it, so they ended up 00:12:17.830 --> 00:12:21.850 just letting it burn. And then they tried dragging 00:12:21.850 --> 00:12:23.730 it out with just one tow truck, but, of course, 00:12:23.750 --> 00:12:26.850 with no tires rolling whatsoever, they ended 00:12:26.850 --> 00:12:29.549 up having to, like, piggyback, you know, front 00:12:29.549 --> 00:12:32.970 to back and cradle it to carry it out of there. 00:12:33.029 --> 00:12:35.350 It was pretty crazy to watch. Almost need an 00:12:35.350 --> 00:12:42.740 off -road rollback for that. Oh, yeah. Yep. One 00:12:42.740 --> 00:12:47.120 more thing that I can't afford to build. But 00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:50.100 it sounds cool. Doesn't it? Like Spud Truck from, 00:12:50.179 --> 00:12:52.259 who is it? Matt's Off -Road that's building the 00:12:52.259 --> 00:12:58.559 Spud Truck. I think Fab Rat's built one too. 00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:03.500 Yeah, Paul's is awesome with that old Chevy truck 00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:08.799 cab and the Cummins engine. Yeah. This guy's 00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:12.340 got some neat stuff. What's the next big adventure 00:13:12.340 --> 00:13:16.259 on you guys' to -do list? Man, we ain't got nothing. 00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:21.500 I think in November, we're going down to Missouri 00:13:21.500 --> 00:13:27.399 for Benji's Thanksgiving thing. Friendsgiving, 00:13:27.580 --> 00:13:32.240 I guess you'd call it. Yeah. Other than that, 00:13:32.299 --> 00:13:34.720 it's all local stuff. We are going to go to the 00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:39.549 Gilmore Museum for the... Overland Crawl or whatever 00:13:39.549 --> 00:13:41.730 they're calling it. Yeah, awesome. I'll see you 00:13:41.730 --> 00:13:45.129 there. I signed up already, so I'm looking forward 00:13:45.129 --> 00:13:48.529 to that. We're discussing getting a booth for 00:13:48.529 --> 00:13:52.450 the podcast and doing a Q &A. Oh, right on. That 00:13:52.450 --> 00:13:56.570 could be fun. I figure one of our 30 listeners 00:13:56.570 --> 00:14:01.750 will come and ask questions. Hey, everybody started 00:14:01.750 --> 00:14:07.929 somewhere, right? Yeah, yeah. There you go. I'd 00:14:07.929 --> 00:14:11.549 be curious to see if, because it looks like it 00:14:11.549 --> 00:14:15.049 does start kind of early. If anybody is, like, 00:14:15.210 --> 00:14:17.210 meeting up somewhere and actually camping Friday 00:14:17.210 --> 00:14:19.809 night somewhere down there, it might be fun. 00:14:20.610 --> 00:14:23.769 I'm sure somebody is. It's like a two -hour drive 00:14:23.769 --> 00:14:28.190 for us -ish. Oh, yeah, that's pretty short. I 00:14:28.190 --> 00:14:30.110 think it's closer to, like, three and a half 00:14:30.110 --> 00:14:34.710 for me. I didn't even see what time it starts. 00:14:35.889 --> 00:14:38.990 Yeah, I thought it said 8 to 12. I thought it 00:14:38.990 --> 00:14:41.509 said gate open for vendors at 8, but I could 00:14:41.509 --> 00:14:46.590 be wrong. Yeah. Either way, it looks like a funny 00:14:46.590 --> 00:14:51.289 vet. It's kind of out of the blue. Because they've 00:14:51.289 --> 00:14:53.149 never done anything like it that I can remember. 00:14:54.049 --> 00:14:59.370 Yeah. I know I went last summer down there for, 00:14:59.429 --> 00:15:01.590 they do like a cruise in on Wednesday nights 00:15:01.590 --> 00:15:04.750 or something like that. And so my dad and a buddy 00:15:04.750 --> 00:15:07.110 and I went down there. We took a Wednesday off 00:15:07.110 --> 00:15:10.070 work and went down and checked out the museum 00:15:10.070 --> 00:15:12.129 and then stayed there for the cruise night. That 00:15:12.129 --> 00:15:17.850 was pretty awesome. Yeah, I haven't made it there. 00:15:18.009 --> 00:15:20.830 I made it to the REO Oldsmobile Museum a time 00:15:20.830 --> 00:15:24.230 or two, but I've never been over to the Gilmore 00:15:24.230 --> 00:15:28.830 Museum. It's definitely worth your time. It's 00:15:28.830 --> 00:15:31.889 pretty amazing stuff there. Things I'd never 00:15:31.889 --> 00:15:36.830 seen or heard of. Yeah. It's cool that we have 00:15:36.830 --> 00:15:39.389 as many big car museums as we have because there's 00:15:39.389 --> 00:15:43.269 a bunch of them out here. The one over by Detroit, 00:15:43.549 --> 00:15:48.509 that was an awesome one to go to. Yeah. Is that 00:15:48.509 --> 00:15:54.970 like part of the part of the Henry Ford deal? 00:15:55.210 --> 00:15:58.049 I think so. I know it had like aviation and all 00:15:58.049 --> 00:16:01.700 that. Yup. Yeah, I've heard of that one. Again, 00:16:01.980 --> 00:16:03.879 another one I'd love to go to. I haven't been 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:08.840 there. Huh. Maybe I need to get the 442 fixed 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:10.799 up and let Gilmore put it in there for a little 00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:15.340 while. Yeah. I was curious if they had one, but 00:16:15.340 --> 00:16:19.100 it looks like only REO has one. What year 442 00:16:19.100 --> 00:16:26.519 do you have? 91. Oh, okay. It's one of 204. Dang. 00:16:26.899 --> 00:16:30.820 Yeah. Yeah, it's a cool little one. That's pretty 00:16:30.820 --> 00:16:34.379 rare. Yeah, it's funny. I mean, most car guys, 00:16:34.539 --> 00:16:37.340 right, we're not just one single genre of cars. 00:16:37.700 --> 00:16:42.080 Yeah, no. No. I've got a, I mean, I've had multiple 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:44.440 cars over the years. I grew up around multiple 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:46.879 cars. My dad's got hot rods and street rods and 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:50.580 stuff. And then I had a bunch of Honda cars. 00:16:50.740 --> 00:16:53.320 I used to do like track days at Gingerman Raceway 00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:58.429 and Groton Raceway. I built turbocharged Acura 00:16:58.429 --> 00:17:01.649 Integras and did all that. Then I've had old 00:17:01.649 --> 00:17:04.690 muscle cars. I had a 70 Mustang Mach 1 and a 00:17:04.690 --> 00:17:10.190 Chevelle SS 454. Currently, I'm working on a 00:17:10.190 --> 00:17:13.710 little S10. I had a little square body S10 in 00:17:13.710 --> 00:17:16.750 high school when I graduated. My brother had 00:17:16.750 --> 00:17:19.849 picked one up down in Florida. He's in the Tampa 00:17:19.849 --> 00:17:22.720 area. And was like, yeah, I'm going to fix this 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:24.980 up. Well, you know, it sat around his place for 00:17:24.980 --> 00:17:27.420 a little over a year. And he's like, I need to 00:17:27.420 --> 00:17:30.900 get this out of my way. Come and get it. Did 00:17:30.900 --> 00:17:33.880 you ever get the title fiasco figured out on 00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:39.019 that? Yeah, dude. What a nightmare. Literally 00:17:39.019 --> 00:17:42.299 like nine trips to the Secretary of State. Like 00:17:42.299 --> 00:17:45.700 three visits to the local police station. It 00:17:45.700 --> 00:17:51.230 was absolutely asinine. It's a cool little truck, 00:17:51.230 --> 00:17:54.049 though. Yeah, it should be a lot of fun. I just 00:17:54.049 --> 00:17:57.849 recently yanked the Iron Duke out of it in the 00:17:57.849 --> 00:18:01.869 5 -speed, and I picked up an 08 Chevy Express 00:18:01.869 --> 00:18:05.990 3500 van with a 4 .8 and a 4L80E. We're going 00:18:05.990 --> 00:18:08.250 to slip in it. That's what I was just going to 00:18:08.250 --> 00:18:10.890 ask, is if you were going to V8 swap it. Oh, 00:18:10.910 --> 00:18:14.910 yeah. Yep. And then I picked up, like, the Blazer. 00:18:14.910 --> 00:18:17.009 Two -door Blazers came with, like, the biggest 00:18:17.009 --> 00:18:19.680 factory sway bars. So we're going to put big 00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:22.319 factory sway bars on it and, you know, stainless 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:25.299 steel brake lines and hopefully upgrade the disc 00:18:25.299 --> 00:18:28.180 brakes and do all that kind of stuff. But like 00:18:28.180 --> 00:18:30.839 the end goal is to try and make it kind of look 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:33.200 like a little like shop truck work truck. Oh, 00:18:33.220 --> 00:18:36.519 yeah. Like kind of a half ratty patina looking 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:40.299 body and, you know, just V8 automatic on the 00:18:40.299 --> 00:18:44.599 column, bench seat. Should be fun. Yeah, it's 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.819 a cool little truck. How much do you have that 00:18:48.819 --> 00:18:52.759 lowered? So that one's like five inches in the 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:55.079 front and like five and a half in the back. That's 00:18:55.079 --> 00:19:00.079 crazy. Yeah, and it's got a staggered 17s in 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:02.359 the front, like 17 by eight wheel in the front 00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:04.940 and 18 by nine and a half wheel in the back. 00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:08.779 Do you have pictures of it next to the Tacoma? 00:19:09.420 --> 00:19:13.789 I do, yeah. So a friend of mine walked in my 00:19:13.789 --> 00:19:18.750 barn the other day, and my buddy, Tom, and he 00:19:18.750 --> 00:19:21.190 walked in, and the spare tire for the Tacoma 00:19:21.190 --> 00:19:23.410 was leaning against the fender of the S10, and 00:19:23.410 --> 00:19:25.730 it's literally four inches taller than the hood, 00:19:25.789 --> 00:19:28.009 you know. And he walked in, he just looks over, 00:19:28.049 --> 00:19:29.750 he's like, that's going to take a lot of cutting. 00:19:29.970 --> 00:19:35.529 And he just kept walking. It was hilarious. Like, 00:19:35.569 --> 00:19:37.789 no, Tom, those aren't going on that. He's like, 00:19:37.849 --> 00:19:43.390 yeah, right. Yeah, you've got quite the collection. 00:19:43.569 --> 00:19:47.750 You've got a Tundra, too, right? Yeah, so my, 00:19:48.250 --> 00:19:51.410 like, daily driver slash, you know, tow pig, 00:19:51.529 --> 00:19:55.809 whatever, is a 2020 Tundra Crewmax. It was, like, 00:19:55.890 --> 00:20:01.569 the TRD Sport package. And then same thing, like, 00:20:01.630 --> 00:20:04.690 well, hopefully the video will get posted. But, 00:20:04.750 --> 00:20:09.559 yeah, I've been doing all these, like, oem plus 00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:11.819 upgrades on it you know trying to make it like 00:20:11.819 --> 00:20:13.920 what i would have bought if i could have from 00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:18.940 the factory back then um so i did like heated 00:20:18.940 --> 00:20:22.960 seats in it um i've added i like wrapped a bunch 00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:27.500 of the dash panels i added a subwoofer um i upgraded 00:20:27.500 --> 00:20:30.019 like the factory fog lights to some diodynamics 00:20:30.019 --> 00:20:33.339 fog lights and i put rock warrior wheels and 00:20:33.339 --> 00:20:37.079 stickers on it and i just found a smoking deal 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:40.660 on the factory, like TRD pro dual exhaust. So 00:20:40.660 --> 00:20:43.039 that's the video I'm, I was going to post today 00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:45.359 as I just got that put on over the weekend. So, 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:49.019 um, should be good. You haven't posted it yet. 00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:52.640 Does it sound good? Uh, yeah, yeah. It's like 00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:54.960 perfect. I didn't want anything too loud. I still 00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:57.200 want to be able to use the factory, like car 00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.359 play and Bluetooth and stuff. And, um, yeah. 00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:02.480 So you got a little bit of tone back there, but 00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:04.559 you can still use all that without it being annoying. 00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:08.160 So it's yeah. I like it. Yeah, that's pretty 00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:11.640 sick. Yeah, I always get a kick out of your videos 00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:13.059 because I never know what you're going to be 00:21:13.059 --> 00:21:16.019 working on. I've seen you work on a third -gen 00:21:16.019 --> 00:21:21.180 4Runner once, a bunch of Tacomas. It's always 00:21:21.180 --> 00:21:24.920 fun. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the randomness that comes 00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:31.660 through my hands, it's out there. my house outside 00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:34.480 of the s10 everything here that that i personally 00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:37.460 own or that's insured in my name other than the 00:21:37.460 --> 00:21:40.740 s10 is all toyota but i don't care i'll work 00:21:40.740 --> 00:21:43.559 on anybody's whatever you know so always helping 00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:47.960 out friends and family working on junk my uh 00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:50.680 my yard's a weird collection right now because 00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:52.660 everyone just seems to drop their projects off 00:21:52.660 --> 00:21:58.410 here we've got yeah Classic Oldsmobile. I've 00:21:58.410 --> 00:22:01.670 got a Deuce and a half in the yard. Oh, dang. 00:22:01.950 --> 00:22:04.869 Yeah, I've got the Camaro in the yard right now. 00:22:04.990 --> 00:22:12.750 Two 442s, half a 442, a Jeep. Nice. It just happens. 00:22:13.730 --> 00:22:19.950 Yeah, yeah. Randomness. Yeah, my mom's got like 00:22:19.950 --> 00:22:22.509 a 95 Formula Firebird convertible that's sitting 00:22:22.509 --> 00:22:25.670 in my garage right now that I'm supposed to be 00:22:25.670 --> 00:22:28.680 working on. It's kind of gotten sidelined trying 00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:32.900 to get the Tacoma ready for Moab, so. 95, that'd 00:22:32.900 --> 00:22:37.119 still be a fourth gen, right? I don't know my 00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:42.200 Camaros, but sure, yeah. Is it square? 93 to 00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:45.279 2002 -ish body, whatever they were. Yeah, yeah. 00:22:45.579 --> 00:22:48.480 Yeah. That's what I got, too. I got a 96 Camaro. 00:22:48.579 --> 00:22:51.359 We're supposed to fix the hatch on. Yeah. Yeah. 00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:55.549 Yeah, so it'd be that. This one's a. Like red 00:22:55.549 --> 00:22:58.769 with a tan top and tan leather interior. The 00:22:58.769 --> 00:23:04.869 LT1 V8 automatic. This one's black on black on 00:23:04.869 --> 00:23:11.309 black with a 5 -speed and a V6. You had me right 00:23:11.309 --> 00:23:16.430 up to the end. And it's hard top. But in all 00:23:16.430 --> 00:23:18.849 honesty, I mean, it's a good car. It gets like 00:23:18.849 --> 00:23:21.329 30 miles to the gallon. It's reliable as hell. 00:23:21.849 --> 00:23:26.250 It looks good. Yeah, that was that 3800 V6. I 00:23:26.250 --> 00:23:28.849 actually considered trying to find one of those 00:23:28.849 --> 00:23:32.349 drivelines to put in the S10 because they weren't 00:23:32.349 --> 00:23:34.950 terrible on power. They made decent power, and 00:23:34.950 --> 00:23:37.589 they got good gas mileage. They were freaking 00:23:37.589 --> 00:23:41.430 bulletproof, that 3800 ran forever. Yeah, the 00:23:41.430 --> 00:23:46.210 first one made it to 170 ,000 miles, and now 00:23:46.210 --> 00:23:49.130 the car is at 180 ,000 and still just purring 00:23:49.130 --> 00:23:53.099 along. Yeah, that's awesome. I mean, it's been 00:23:53.099 --> 00:23:55.380 a good car. Dad bought it when I was in fifth 00:23:55.380 --> 00:23:59.140 grade and just keeps driving it. Nice. That's 00:23:59.140 --> 00:24:06.220 cool. Yeah, I heavily debated bastardizing the 00:24:06.220 --> 00:24:10.380 S10 with a Toyota drivetrain, but ultimately, 00:24:10.619 --> 00:24:15.420 this V8, I bought the van for $300. It runs and 00:24:15.420 --> 00:24:18.519 drives, so I'm like, I don't know. This is pretty 00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:21.779 cheap fun. That's what we're doing to our Jeep. 00:24:21.859 --> 00:24:23.920 We're putting it on a third gen frame with a 00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:26.700 third gen engine and a third gen transmission. 00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:33.599 Really? Yeah. Awesome. So it'll be probably long 00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:36.859 travel IFS in the front and then just a stock 00:24:36.859 --> 00:24:40.559 Toyota E -Locker in the rear. Oh, yeah. Dude, 00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:44.519 that'd be super fun. Basically, take my 4Runner 00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:48.759 build, carbon copy it, and then put the Jeep 00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:53.380 on top. Yeah. Yeah. That'll be cool. Yeah. It's 00:24:53.380 --> 00:24:57.200 make people scratch their head right now. It's 00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:00.039 already did it. Yeah. Right now it's on a blazer 00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:02.799 chassis, which is just way too much frame for 00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:06.779 a YJ. Sure. Oh yeah. I mean, it looks terrible. 00:25:06.900 --> 00:25:11.200 It stock height blazer, uh, front end the back. 00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:15.099 He had like trailer, uh, springs with who knows 00:25:15.099 --> 00:25:20.240 what shocks wrote like a plank. yeah i'm sure 00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:26.359 but it looked big it was on 37s because the truck 00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:29.319 sits on top of the frame there's like yeah it 00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:31.640 looks like it's got like a 15 inch lift but it's 00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:36.279 got like three inches of ground clearance yeah 00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:42.059 that's not very helpful no but it'll be cool 00:25:42.059 --> 00:25:48.220 oh heck yeah We just sourced a five -speed supercharged 00:25:48.220 --> 00:25:53.180 truck to swap into my truck. Really? Yeah. Yeah. 00:25:53.259 --> 00:25:57.880 Dude. From our good friend, Derek Becker. Really? 00:25:58.660 --> 00:26:04.119 Yeah. That sounds amazing. Yeah. So the silver, 00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:06.220 you've probably seen the video. I recently picked 00:26:06.220 --> 00:26:09.779 up that silver, like a 02 Tacoma, that the frame 00:26:09.779 --> 00:26:13.710 is just totally junk on. um yeah but yeah the 00:26:13.710 --> 00:26:18.450 plan is to hopefully utilize that um 3 -4 auto 00:26:18.450 --> 00:26:21.529 drivetrain in a 85 4 -runner carcass that i've 00:26:21.529 --> 00:26:24.789 got here that my wife has been begging me for 00:26:24.789 --> 00:26:27.630 five years to build her like a beach cruiser 00:26:27.630 --> 00:26:30.869 uh first gen 4 -runner with the lift off top 00:26:30.869 --> 00:26:34.549 so um yeah to find a supercharger for it would 00:26:34.549 --> 00:26:38.089 be really cool yeah i'm i'm pretty excited man 00:26:38.089 --> 00:26:41.460 and we got the long travel on like two months 00:26:41.460 --> 00:26:43.500 ago so i mean it's really coming together to 00:26:43.500 --> 00:26:47.220 be a pretty sweet truck oh hell yeah it seems 00:26:47.220 --> 00:26:49.240 like it'd be a pre -runner but i use it more 00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:57.000 in the rocks so yeah yeah i haven't uh i haven't 00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:02.279 done a ton of i had a excuse me so the truck 00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:05.500 that I was wheeling with before Stomper was, 00:27:05.660 --> 00:27:10.339 like, an 87 4Runner IFS. And, like, the fourth 00:27:10.339 --> 00:27:13.200 time I grenaded the front diff and the body was 00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:15.160 starting to rust and fall down over the frame, 00:27:15.259 --> 00:27:16.960 that's when I kind of pulled the plug on that 00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:20.140 project and built Stomper with the solid front 00:27:20.140 --> 00:27:23.259 axle. But, yeah, I haven't wheeled an IFS in 00:27:23.259 --> 00:27:26.460 a really long time, you know, other than sand 00:27:26.460 --> 00:27:29.119 dunes with, you know, an old GMC that I had. 00:27:29.140 --> 00:27:34.359 It was more my daily driver. Yeah, I went from 00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:36.660 solid axle because I always had Jeeps and then 00:27:36.660 --> 00:27:39.660 decided Michigan was too easy with a solid axle 00:27:39.660 --> 00:27:44.299 and got an IFS rig. Yep. And now I'm pushing 00:27:44.299 --> 00:27:46.559 the boundaries on what you can do with IFS, and 00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:48.059 now I'm like, man, I should have just stuck with 00:27:48.059 --> 00:27:54.220 solid axle. Yeah. Yep. That's always part of 00:27:54.220 --> 00:27:58.779 the game, back and forth. But, I mean, 4Runner's 00:27:58.779 --> 00:28:04.019 cool. Oh, heck yeah. Yep. No, those are sweet, 00:28:04.019 --> 00:28:07.539 sweet rigs. Is yours the frame solid on it? That's 00:28:07.539 --> 00:28:16.420 always the big hiccup. Solid -ish. Reinforced. 00:28:16.460 --> 00:28:20.440 Yeah. Reinforced. If you look at the passenger 00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:22.880 side hard enough, it's got a quilt wrapped around 00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:28.200 it. Stitched together, patchwork. Yeah, yeah, 00:28:28.220 --> 00:28:31.690 yeah. Yeah, that happens. I don't know. It feels 00:28:31.690 --> 00:28:34.230 pretty solid. The back end, we had to cut both 00:28:34.230 --> 00:28:38.730 frame horns off and rebuild. Oof. Yeah, that 00:28:38.730 --> 00:28:41.890 was a fun one. Oh, yeah. Drummond Island, my 00:28:41.890 --> 00:28:44.190 frame collapsed behind the rear axle, and I had 00:28:44.190 --> 00:28:45.950 to ratchet strap it to the body to get home. 00:28:46.769 --> 00:28:54.069 Oh, dang. Yeah. Time to head south and source 00:28:54.069 --> 00:29:00.759 another chassis. Dude, I need to. I'll keep patching 00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:03.859 this one until I can't anymore. Right. At this 00:29:03.859 --> 00:29:05.680 point, it's too much work to swap everything 00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:10.039 over. Yeah. Yeah, that's what happens. We get 00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:14.759 so invested. I know my, I was just under, so 00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:17.960 I picked up like an 08 FJ Cruiser for my daughter 00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:23.480 to drive. And when I got it a little over a year 00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:25.519 ago, I was underneath it. Like, man, it didn't 00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:28.279 look too bad. You know, a little rust scale here 00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:31.460 and there. Kind of tapped on the frame. Everything 00:29:31.460 --> 00:29:35.319 felt solid. And I was just under it here, like, 00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:38.240 a couple weeks ago. The inner rocker panels are 00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:42.119 gone. Like, they were there last fall. They must 00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:44.319 have, like, ice must have hung on them, and the 00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:45.960 weight must have ripped the metal right off. 00:29:46.039 --> 00:29:48.019 Because they're, like, I can literally see the 00:29:48.019 --> 00:29:50.200 main wiring harness that runs underneath your 00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:53.400 door sill plate on the driver's side. I can look 00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:56.000 at it from underneath. I'm like, where in the 00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:00.519 hell did the rocker panel go? Yeah, when I bought 00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:02.720 my truck, I tapped on it, you know, did all the 00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:04.960 checks. I was like, yeah, it's good to go. By 00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:07.440 the time we drove it from Wisconsin to Michigan, 00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:10.059 the frame had already started developing holes. 00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:17.519 No way. Like, it was instant. Yeah, yeah. You 00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:19.660 crossed the state line, and it was like, nope, 00:30:19.740 --> 00:30:25.180 that's it. All done. Yeah, that's terrible. But 00:30:25.180 --> 00:30:27.220 we spent two years keeping her together. I think 00:30:27.220 --> 00:30:32.369 we can do a few more. Right? 100%. Patch it a 00:30:32.369 --> 00:30:35.630 few more times? Yeah, we got two patches that 00:30:35.630 --> 00:30:37.450 need done this weekend, but, you know, it is 00:30:37.450 --> 00:30:42.230 what it is. I figure as long as you bust out 00:30:42.230 --> 00:30:44.309 your dollar bill -sized piece of metal and figure 00:30:44.309 --> 00:30:47.349 out where to patch it in at. I figure as long 00:30:47.349 --> 00:30:52.410 as I keep up on it, we'll be okay. Yeah. Yeah, 00:30:53.029 --> 00:30:55.750 so you've got... I'm really excited about that 00:30:55.750 --> 00:30:58.869 beach build. That's going to be sick, dude. thanks 00:30:58.869 --> 00:31:03.049 yeah it should be super cool um so my wife is 00:31:03.049 --> 00:31:05.430 a redhead and she's like got this inherent fear 00:31:05.430 --> 00:31:07.809 that i'm gonna paint it i i really want to paint 00:31:07.809 --> 00:31:12.529 it the uh new uh orange color that they used 00:31:12.529 --> 00:31:16.029 on the new trd pros yeah and do like the like 00:31:16.029 --> 00:31:19.690 the throwback retro graphics so actually angie 00:31:19.690 --> 00:31:23.049 that i pulled against um on truck night in america 00:31:23.049 --> 00:31:26.859 that had the forerunner He does all kinds of, 00:31:26.859 --> 00:31:29.599 like, all the factory repop graphics for all 00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:33.319 the Toyotas. That's sick. So I'd like to paint 00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:36.259 it that orange color and get the retro black, 00:31:36.420 --> 00:31:39.839 like, 87 kind of graphics that, like, sling up 00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:44.279 the side. And then get, I want to paint the hard 00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:46.559 top all to match it, like, smooth it all out 00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:49.000 and paint it all. And then black out the windows 00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:51.460 and get, like, the newer TRD Pro wheels to put 00:31:51.460 --> 00:31:54.079 on it, I think, kind of give it. kind of a retro 00:31:54.079 --> 00:31:58.940 you know yeah yeah for sure but looking at like 00:31:58.940 --> 00:32:02.000 swapping and stuff like what i did with stomper 00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:04.700 was i ended up taking the entire wiring harness 00:32:04.700 --> 00:32:06.480 from like the headlight bulb to the taillight 00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:09.099 bulb and everything in between and just used 00:32:09.099 --> 00:32:11.680 it out of the forerunner to build stomper and 00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:13.460 i think i'm going to do the same with this that 00:32:13.460 --> 00:32:15.160 way i don't have to deal with like all the emissions 00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:17.900 like i'm literally going to take every plug every 00:32:17.900 --> 00:32:19.880 connector and try and just use that whole entire 00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:24.400 wiring harness in the 4Runner body. Hopefully 00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:26.720 avoid all that stuff. The only hiccup will be 00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:30.059 the opposite drop transfer case, so I'm probably 00:32:30.059 --> 00:32:32.960 going to have to order a trail gear adapter or 00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:35.400 something to put the gear -to -gear case on the 00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:39.819 back of it so that I have the correct driveshaft 00:32:39.819 --> 00:32:44.880 output, but I think it'll work out. It'll be 00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:47.380 a fun build. And with a 3 .4, it's going to be 00:32:47.380 --> 00:32:51.859 reliable as hell. Yeah. Yep. that's it be like 00:32:51.859 --> 00:32:55.200 you know three four automatic like anybody can 00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:59.880 get in it drop it gear drive it so i plan to 00:32:59.880 --> 00:33:03.019 uh been collecting parts for a while for that 00:33:03.019 --> 00:33:05.779 too right so i've got like a marlin crawler high 00:33:05.779 --> 00:33:09.640 steer kit here in the ifs gearbox and i've got 00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:13.759 a set of brand new uh rear springs um to build 00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:16.500 like a rear up front pack on it for the front 00:33:16.500 --> 00:33:20.150 axle and then uh I don't know what I'll do for 00:33:20.150 --> 00:33:23.029 the rear yet. If I'm going to just, it's, it's 00:33:23.029 --> 00:33:25.470 got like a old school, like four inch pro comp 00:33:25.470 --> 00:33:29.309 lift on the chassis now. So I'll probably not 00:33:29.309 --> 00:33:32.230 use those springs because they rode like shit. 00:33:32.289 --> 00:33:35.829 So I'll probably end up doing, you know, like 00:33:35.829 --> 00:33:38.009 the Chevy 63 spring or something in the back 00:33:38.009 --> 00:33:41.329 and kind of build the suspension out similar 00:33:41.329 --> 00:33:44.150 to stopper, but it'll be more of just a street 00:33:44.150 --> 00:33:47.000 pounder. It's not going to get used. Maybe, maybe 00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:50.599 Silver Lake, but that'd be about it. That'd be 00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:52.460 the truck to take to Silver Lake though. It's 00:33:52.460 --> 00:33:54.180 like the one place you can drive on the beach. 00:33:54.819 --> 00:33:58.279 Yeah. Yup. Be nice and keep it clean and yeah, 00:33:58.339 --> 00:34:02.900 just cruise it around and enjoy it. Yup. Yeah. 00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:08.280 Always a project. Well, if you end up needing 00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:10.500 a transmission, let me know. We got lots of them 00:34:10.500 --> 00:34:13.619 at this point. Yeah. You're collecting three, 00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:17.860 four auto trans. Yeah, yeah. Well, once I get 00:34:17.860 --> 00:34:20.719 that truck from Derek, I'll have two of them 00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:26.679 sitting here. I'll end up with an entire extra 00:34:26.679 --> 00:34:28.820 driveline by the time we're done building trucks. 00:34:29.539 --> 00:34:34.219 Right? Yeah. Yeah. Well, hopefully I don't go 00:34:34.219 --> 00:34:36.239 through all the hassles I did with Stomper. You 00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:38.960 know, I spent all that time and energy swapping 00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:44.030 that, you know, three RZ. Tacoma motor into that 00:34:44.030 --> 00:34:46.369 just to find out that after sitting, the head 00:34:46.369 --> 00:34:54.809 gasket was blown. That was terrible. Yeah. I 00:34:54.809 --> 00:34:57.809 just love how that truck looks like a raisin. 00:34:57.869 --> 00:35:00.250 I mean, that's all I see when I see Stomper. 00:35:00.610 --> 00:35:05.150 Oh, yeah. Yep. Every panel's got a dent and a 00:35:05.150 --> 00:35:08.469 dent and a scrape and a story, and half of them 00:35:08.469 --> 00:35:10.650 I've taken off and beaten back out with a hammer 00:35:10.650 --> 00:35:13.760 just to, you know. Don't want it to look too 00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:19.619 terrible going down the road. Well, dude, do 00:35:19.619 --> 00:35:21.940 you got anything else that you want to get out 00:35:21.940 --> 00:35:27.039 to the people? I don't know, man. I mean, I know 00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:29.460 you guys probably follow across all the socials 00:35:29.460 --> 00:35:31.800 I do, and you've seen what happened with Toyota 00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:35.519 World Runners there. So just don't waste any 00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:37.599 time. Get out and adventure while you can, you 00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:41.260 know. Live it to the fullest right to the end. 00:35:41.739 --> 00:35:45.420 Yep, hell yeah. None of us know what trip's going 00:35:45.420 --> 00:35:52.460 to be our last. Yeah. I had a rollover like two 00:35:52.460 --> 00:35:56.719 years ago now, and that was not bad, but it was 00:35:56.719 --> 00:35:58.920 kind of worrying for there for a second when 00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:02.539 I first got out of that accident. Oh, yeah. Yeah, 00:36:02.539 --> 00:36:06.079 I mean, it's kind of a gut -wrenching feeling 00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:10.760 when I laid the Tacoma on its side. You know, 00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:12.900 I was up here at Twisted Trails Off -Road Park, 00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:15.219 and it was just another one of those things, 00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:16.840 right, where there was multiple chutes going 00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:19.420 up a single hill, and I didn't know that they 00:36:19.420 --> 00:36:23.139 crossed at the top. And, yeah, just flying up 00:36:23.139 --> 00:36:25.119 the hill and can't see over the hood. All you 00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:28.019 see is the daylight up above you, you know, opening 00:36:28.019 --> 00:36:30.239 in the trees, not realizing that the trail cuts 00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:33.639 underneath. And, yeah, that few seconds where 00:36:33.639 --> 00:36:35.559 the truck's flopping, like you don't know how 00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:38.039 bad it's going to go, how far it's going to go. 00:36:38.380 --> 00:36:43.269 Yeah. Yeah, it's a scary feeling. Yeah, Mark's 00:36:43.269 --> 00:36:45.449 rollover has me wondering if I need to put a 00:36:45.449 --> 00:36:47.510 roll cage in because seeing how that Tacoma turned 00:36:47.510 --> 00:36:52.090 into a pancake real fast. Oh, yeah. I don't want 00:36:52.090 --> 00:36:55.730 to be going down that road. Yeah, yeah, no, for 00:36:55.730 --> 00:37:00.170 sure. It's definitely, yeah, definitely something 00:37:00.170 --> 00:37:02.849 to think about, you know. As you progress more 00:37:02.849 --> 00:37:05.090 and more into the sport, you know, you're pushing 00:37:05.090 --> 00:37:07.309 yourself in the rig more and more. It's definitely 00:37:07.309 --> 00:37:11.880 something to think about for sure. So, well, 00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:15.699 we will definitely don't roll your truck in Moab, 00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:18.199 but we definitely need pictures of it on top 00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:22.820 of the world. Yeah, no, for sure. Yeah. So a 00:37:22.820 --> 00:37:25.139 few guys that we're going with, we already got 00:37:25.139 --> 00:37:27.000 kind of a trail list. We're all putting together 00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:28.599 like, all right, what are the most hit spots? 00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:33.139 And yeah, we're going to, we've rented, you know, 00:37:33.139 --> 00:37:35.340 just motel rooms right downtown on the strip. 00:37:35.380 --> 00:37:37.860 So we can, you know, kind of. do the whole, get 00:37:37.860 --> 00:37:39.880 the whole experience. So I can't wait. It should 00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:43.440 be great. You got, see, you got hell's revenge 00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:47.719 on there. I'd assume. Oh yeah. Uh, fins and things. 00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:51.739 Yeah. Um, I'd have to look. Yeah. They're like 00:37:51.739 --> 00:37:54.199 the golden crack. I don't know. There's like, 00:37:54.340 --> 00:37:56.579 I think there's like 10 different ones they've 00:37:56.579 --> 00:37:59.380 got that are like, we have to do this. We have 00:37:59.380 --> 00:38:03.260 to do that. Well, if you can get to Moab rim, 00:38:03.340 --> 00:38:07.239 Moab rim is beautiful. And yeah. Creek. Onion 00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:10.219 Creek isn't hard, but it's really pretty. Yeah. 00:38:10.619 --> 00:38:15.019 But it stinks. So, you know, take it how you 00:38:15.019 --> 00:38:22.519 want it. Right on. It sure smells a lot like 00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:24.860 onions. They didn't name it Onion Creek for no 00:38:24.860 --> 00:38:29.400 reason. Gotcha. It's appropriately named. Well, 00:38:29.500 --> 00:38:32.139 at least it's not named Shit Creek, right? Right, 00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:37.119 right, right. And on that note we will catch 00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:39.179 you guys later. Later.
