WEBVTT 00:00:00.460 --> 00:00:03.480 Welcome to Botches Off -Road. Join us as we talk 00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:05.820 about everything from gear reviews to trail stories, 00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:08.640 tent camping to rock landing, and all things 00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:13.199 to do with the outdoors. Alright, as Gavin's 00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:15.279 over there making himself look like an absolute 00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:20.760 criminal, he's turning his beard up into a handlebar. 00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:23.280 Or his mustache, I mean. That was a mustache. 00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:28.120 He's like one of those old -fashioned, like... 00:00:28.329 --> 00:00:31.109 Italian criminals, black and white stripes and 00:00:31.109 --> 00:00:35.390 everything. Yeah, yeah. So, I guess we'll get 00:00:35.390 --> 00:00:37.890 started today with a couple of little things. 00:00:37.950 --> 00:00:40.590 Number one, what are you guys drinking? Mark, 00:00:40.670 --> 00:00:44.350 what you got? We got a donut beer, probably maybe 00:00:44.350 --> 00:00:47.649 the last one. It was the last one from our cords 00:00:47.649 --> 00:00:51.899 and calf. And Gavin is still sipping on water. 00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:56.619 What an absolute loser. Yeah. I've got... How 00:00:56.619 --> 00:01:00.140 dare I? Sustenance of life and all. Some nice, 00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:05.200 homemade apple pie moonshine. That shit's good. 00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:08.040 That shit looks rancid. No, it's not. It's real 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:10.579 good. Okay, because from over here they look 00:01:10.579 --> 00:01:15.859 like nasty, moldy apples. So you just put apples 00:01:15.859 --> 00:01:18.859 and some apple cider into a jar and just let 00:01:18.859 --> 00:01:24.019 it sit for a few weeks? No. We don't know. Who 00:01:24.019 --> 00:01:28.219 did you get it from? My farmhand. His wife made 00:01:28.219 --> 00:01:29.939 it. What's his name? What's his first and last 00:01:29.939 --> 00:01:38.340 name? Chris. Chris? I was just seeing if you'd 00:01:38.340 --> 00:01:40.459 snitch him out. You're a good man. This is 200 00:01:40.459 --> 00:01:45.129 proof. Actually, it's like 210 somewhere in there, 00:01:45.250 --> 00:01:48.969 but it's pretty fucking good shit, dude. It doesn't 00:01:48.969 --> 00:01:51.090 even taste like it. You can't fucking taste it. 00:01:51.450 --> 00:01:58.230 No. 200 proof seems a little high. Yeah, it's 00:01:58.230 --> 00:02:01.310 pretty fucking high, man. Because I feel like 00:02:01.310 --> 00:02:04.170 when they do moonshiners, like 100 proof is high, 00:02:04.310 --> 00:02:09.509 like burns your face off. So 200 seems like that's 00:02:09.509 --> 00:02:15.379 just vapor. That's crazy. To be fair, it's just 00:02:15.379 --> 00:02:18.819 a bunch of mixed alcohol. It is just a bunch 00:02:18.819 --> 00:02:22.199 of mixed alcohol. This one's not still made. 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:28.719 Oh, okay. Alright. They mix it all together, 00:02:28.939 --> 00:02:30.680 they run it through a proofer, and then that's 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:34.460 what it is. Interesting. It's pretty fucking 00:02:34.460 --> 00:02:39.199 good, man. Alright, so. Housekeeping. Our next 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:43.090 Chords and Calf. Well, Coors and Calf October. 00:02:43.150 --> 00:02:46.650 The only day that really works for it is October 00:02:46.650 --> 00:02:53.490 18th. Okay. The 25th is the day before the... 00:02:53.490 --> 00:02:59.210 Rigs? Rigs and Coffee. I don't want to step on 00:02:59.210 --> 00:03:02.050 his toes, so... Nope. That would leave us, like, 00:03:02.110 --> 00:03:05.090 next weekend or the 18th. And the 18th is the 00:03:05.090 --> 00:03:08.069 only one I could be ready for. Yep. And then 00:03:08.069 --> 00:03:12.960 we got... The Gilmore the next weekend? Fuck, 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.520 what day is the Gilmore on? I don't know. I can 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.219 tell you that I can't make it on the 18th. To 00:03:19.219 --> 00:03:22.159 be honest, I think the 18th is the Gilmore. We 00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:31.280 have a wedding. God damn it. I don't have to 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.460 be there. No, you don't. I can do the 11th. The 00:03:36.460 --> 00:03:41.129 18th is, I think... We have to do it on the 11th. 00:03:42.069 --> 00:03:46.490 Yeah. 11th? 25th? 25th is the day before rigs 00:03:46.490 --> 00:03:52.430 and coffee. So it really has to be the 11th. 00:03:53.189 --> 00:03:59.669 Yeah. 4th? Yeah. This weekend! This weekend! 00:03:59.909 --> 00:04:02.069 It's not going to get released by then! The episode 00:04:02.069 --> 00:04:05.000 will come out... After rigs and coffee. So, yeah. 00:04:05.659 --> 00:04:08.259 So, it looks like none of you guys made it, assholes. 00:04:08.860 --> 00:04:12.259 With this coming, because this episode will come 00:04:12.259 --> 00:04:20.060 out like the 6th. God damn it. I don't know why 00:04:20.060 --> 00:04:22.259 my wife is listening in, but she just reminded 00:04:22.259 --> 00:04:25.000 me that that's her birthday. So, no, the 11th 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.740 doesn't work. Fuck, dude. It has to be the 25th, 00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:31.000 the day before rigs and coffee. There's no other 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.449 day that works. I'll just have to miss it. It's 00:04:33.449 --> 00:04:35.769 not a big deal. No, because the 18th doesn't 00:04:35.769 --> 00:04:37.949 work. That's the Overland Mall Crawl at the Gilmore 00:04:37.949 --> 00:04:43.970 Museum. Yeah, then we're not making it. So... 00:04:43.970 --> 00:04:46.970 Can we do it on a Sunday? Nope. Saturdays only. 00:04:47.949 --> 00:04:56.930 Okay. What about a Friday? Uh, no. I like your 00:04:56.930 --> 00:04:59.889 ambition because a nighttime Corsicaf would be 00:04:59.889 --> 00:05:05.470 kind of sick. Okay, except for that. Do an overnighter. 00:05:05.850 --> 00:05:09.689 I can't because of the farm. What if you do it 00:05:09.689 --> 00:05:13.689 after checks? Oh, what? I go to the overnighter 00:05:13.689 --> 00:05:15.430 and then leave at 2 in the morning? That sounds 00:05:15.430 --> 00:05:27.149 awful. Yeah. You just have to do it on... Oh, 00:05:27.189 --> 00:05:28.610 you said you can't do it on the 18th because 00:05:28.610 --> 00:05:32.920 of the Gilmore. Yeah. Unless we make the Gilmore 00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:36.759 Overland Fall Crawl our rigs and coffee. Our 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:42.800 cords and calf. Yeah. I mean... Seems kind of 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:44.660 stupid, but... Because you've got to have people 00:05:44.660 --> 00:05:50.000 pay to get into it. I know. Let's do the 25th. 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:54.319 So, cords and calf will be on Saturday the 25th. 00:05:54.660 --> 00:05:57.740 And I'll give you the three words, and then put 00:05:57.740 --> 00:06:00.540 everything in the show notes. The three words 00:06:00.540 --> 00:06:09.019 are peculiarly basics earliest. Can you say that 00:06:09.019 --> 00:06:13.399 again? I didn't hear that first. Peculiarly basics 00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:18.579 earliest. And I will put that in the show notes 00:06:18.579 --> 00:06:21.519 along with the actual coordinates in the show 00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:26.060 notes. But I will not rattle off the show notes. 00:06:29.060 --> 00:06:35.639 Yes, peculiarly basics earliest. All right. And 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:39.079 the 25th, nobody's birthday, right? We're all 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:43.939 good? Yeah, we're all good. No. All right. Mine's 00:06:43.939 --> 00:06:48.060 the 28th, so we're good. Yeah. All right, cool. 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:54.439 We'll make it happen, I think. So now, all right, 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.180 what's the other housekeeping we got going on 00:06:56.180 --> 00:06:59.639 here? My face is burning. Yeah, wow. You flushed 00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:06.000 already? Wow. Like, my face is on fire. We might 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:07.879 have a good Alex here in a little bit. Yeah. 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:13.300 As opposed to not good Alex before. I didn't 00:07:13.300 --> 00:07:15.420 think I drank that much. I haven't. I just had, 00:07:15.500 --> 00:07:20.939 like, three sips. Yeah, so Coors and Calf. I 00:07:20.939 --> 00:07:25.709 mean, it'll be fun. This one, hopefully, doesn't 00:07:25.709 --> 00:07:30.430 stir up drama. Drama's dumb. Yeah. We're not 00:07:30.430 --> 00:07:35.870 doing it on any front at all. Unless we want 00:07:35.870 --> 00:07:40.810 to talk about waffles versus pancakes. Waffles 00:07:40.810 --> 00:07:46.930 all the time. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know, man. 00:07:46.970 --> 00:07:52.180 I'll take a crepe, which is a pancake. I like 00:07:52.180 --> 00:07:54.699 pancakes and I like waffles. They each have their 00:07:54.699 --> 00:08:00.540 place. But waffles are only good if they have 00:08:00.540 --> 00:08:05.699 chicken with them. Peanut butter. And chicken. 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:11.300 I mean, I do love chicken and waffles. That's 00:08:11.300 --> 00:08:14.959 a really good combo. But I grew up doing peanut 00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:17.139 butter and waffles and then folding them like 00:08:17.139 --> 00:08:21.100 a tortilla. I always slather mine in Nutella 00:08:21.100 --> 00:08:26.079 and then put syrup on. Bro. God, you like sugar. 00:08:26.139 --> 00:08:28.920 Oh, it's delicious. I can only have one. Are 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:32.279 you guys like a heavy syrup or are you guys like 00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:34.679 a light syrup? Depends if it's real syrup or 00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.620 fake syrup. I must say it depends. Yeah. I only 00:08:37.620 --> 00:08:40.299 buy real syrup anymore, but it's still a very 00:08:40.299 --> 00:08:42.340 light drizzle. Where do you get your syrup from? 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:48.460 My real syrup? Yeah. Well, it says 100 % maple 00:08:48.460 --> 00:08:50.720 syrup, but I get it from Meyer. Yeah, it's not 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:55.159 real syrup. It says it's 100 % real syrup. It 00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.580 doesn't have high -fructose corn syrup in it. 00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:01.179 My cousins have a sugar shack, so we get our 00:09:01.179 --> 00:09:02.879 syrup from them, and then when that runs out, 00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.440 we go to the fake 100 % real syrup from Meyer. 00:09:08.820 --> 00:09:13.480 I think that's propaganda because you have other 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:17.509 syrup in your family. He's stirring propaganda. 00:09:17.970 --> 00:09:20.610 He said, don't believe big syrup. Yeah, don't 00:09:20.610 --> 00:09:23.049 believe big syrup. Don't believe them. Don't 00:09:23.049 --> 00:09:24.990 believe them. It's lies. I don't know. I will 00:09:24.990 --> 00:09:29.730 say this. Look, I'll take a crepe over any of 00:09:29.730 --> 00:09:33.889 that. I love a really thin pancake style crepe 00:09:33.889 --> 00:09:37.309 with some fruit jam, something like that on there. 00:09:37.450 --> 00:09:40.610 Nutella and bananas. A crepe with Nutella and 00:09:40.610 --> 00:09:47.220 bananas. Oh, my God, dude. When I lived in Korea, 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.299 man, we had this little restaurant. It wasn't 00:09:50.299 --> 00:09:52.980 a restaurant. It was like a stand right off post, 00:09:53.100 --> 00:09:55.940 and they would make you Nutella banana crepes 00:09:55.940 --> 00:10:01.100 for like $1 .50. Oh, my God. Cheap. Oh, dude, 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.460 I went to Opa. You know where that's at? Yeah, 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:06.299 Opa's like my favorite restaurant. Yeah, it's 00:10:06.299 --> 00:10:11.259 ours, too. They have Korean corn dogs. We tried 00:10:11.259 --> 00:10:14.120 them. Dude, it's like having an elephant ear 00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:18.179 with mozzarella cheese inside. It's fucking amazing. 00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:21.820 Their kimchi is like the second best kimchi I've 00:10:21.820 --> 00:10:24.899 had in Grand Rapids. The first was at this itty 00:10:24.899 --> 00:10:28.919 bitty little like two, they had like two booths, 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.860 Korean place, that went out of business a couple 00:10:31.860 --> 00:10:35.059 years ago. They didn't survive COVID is what 00:10:35.059 --> 00:10:37.440 happened, but man, that place, their kimchi was 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:41.340 by far the best I've had in Michigan. Oh, yeah. 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.460 So last time I went, we had that. I had spicy 00:10:45.460 --> 00:10:50.879 bulgogi and I did not like bulgogi. If you get 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.559 non -spicy bulgogi, it's really good. Spicy bulgogi 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:58.419 is not good. It wasn't the spice as much as it 00:10:58.419 --> 00:11:00.679 was like the ketchup sauce. Like it literally 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:04.080 tasted like ketchup. So bulgogi doesn't have 00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:08.159 ketchup sauce on it. That's spicy bulgogi. That's 00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:10.100 what I'm saying, though, is like the spicy bulgogi. 00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:13.559 Yeah. But it was also like pig fat almost. It 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:17.860 was really not great. Yeah. So I will try it 00:11:17.860 --> 00:11:22.019 again at some point. Real bulgogi. You eat it. 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:24.039 You take a little bit in your chopstick of bulgogi, 00:11:24.139 --> 00:11:26.299 a little bit of rice, a little bit of kimchi, 00:11:26.419 --> 00:11:32.340 and then eat that all at once. Yeah. Oh, speaking 00:11:32.340 --> 00:11:37.279 of Asian cuisine. The Thai place here in our 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:43.299 home city of Nuevo, they just got approved for 00:11:43.299 --> 00:11:47.139 selling food and their food license or whatever. 00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:51.440 So they will be opening up. And if you haven't 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:53.000 seen them, you guys should really check them 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:57.139 out. Because their food looks absolutely delicious. 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.159 Man, for whatever reason, that reminded me of 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.159 the... Chinese place in Big Rapids that I got 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:06.019 shut down. I wonder if I can still find those 00:12:06.019 --> 00:12:14.759 Facebook reviews. And we are also having a boycott 00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:19.080 march down in downtown Nuevo for Nuevo Brewing 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:24.179 Company. That's a whole drama. There's so much 00:12:24.179 --> 00:12:31.950 drama in this world right now. Dude. Why? I mean, 00:12:31.970 --> 00:12:35.789 if you really want to go into it, but one of 00:12:35.789 --> 00:12:40.009 the co -owners pretty much said that he was... 00:12:40.009 --> 00:12:42.350 I meant, why are they doing a boycott march? 00:12:42.409 --> 00:12:46.269 Just don't go there. Oh, they're not, but it's 00:12:46.269 --> 00:12:49.870 also a vigil for Charlie Kirk. But yeah, the 00:12:49.870 --> 00:12:53.110 co -owner said some stuff against it, and a bunch 00:12:53.110 --> 00:12:55.730 of people boycotted and complained that he supposedly 00:12:55.730 --> 00:12:59.299 got let go. and they still are going to do a 00:12:59.299 --> 00:13:03.700 boycott march and peaceful protest and vigil. 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:08.659 Honestly, the world's getting crazy. The world's 00:13:08.659 --> 00:13:11.820 getting crazy. But that's all the politics we 00:13:11.820 --> 00:13:15.279 need to talk about. Yeah, that's all I was doing 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:17.279 right there was wrapping it up by saying that. 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:25.110 The world is a crazy place. So, man. uh i am 00:13:25.110 --> 00:13:28.929 looking to buy my first ar that's one thing yeah 00:13:28.929 --> 00:13:31.350 that's got nothing to do with politics as much 00:13:31.350 --> 00:13:34.769 as it is as i number one i want an ar number 00:13:34.769 --> 00:13:42.230 two i i want an ar number three uh kind of want 00:13:42.230 --> 00:13:45.730 an ar so yeah i mean and like i told you building 00:13:45.730 --> 00:13:47.950 one is by far your best way because you're gonna 00:13:47.950 --> 00:13:51.629 get for just a little bit more than a pre -built 00:13:51.629 --> 00:13:55.750 one you're going to get a better gun yeah and 00:13:55.750 --> 00:13:57.909 that's what i'm looking to do and to be honest 00:13:57.909 --> 00:14:00.289 i'd rather build it it's a little daunting but 00:14:00.289 --> 00:14:02.350 that's because i don't know i like when i say 00:14:02.350 --> 00:14:05.429 i know nothing about ars i know i know there's 00:14:05.429 --> 00:14:08.389 a trigger i know there's a charge handle i know 00:14:08.389 --> 00:14:11.750 there's a lower and upper a barrel guard i don't 00:14:11.750 --> 00:14:14.620 know much more other than that I know the look 00:14:14.620 --> 00:14:18.399 on your face when I said something about a gas 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.379 tube was pretty funny. Yeah, dude, I did not 00:14:21.379 --> 00:14:23.059 know what a gas tube was. I thought he was referring 00:14:23.059 --> 00:14:28.799 to like a chamber in the upper for the gas to 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.039 come out. So, yeah, it was surprising to me when 00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:35.440 I looked up a gas tube and it looks like brake 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:38.840 line. I wonder if you could use brake line as 00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:40.720 a gas tube. Like, obviously, you'd have to O 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:42.929 -ring it. Whereas a gas tube doesn't usually 00:14:42.929 --> 00:14:47.690 need O -ringed, but like, hmm. In a survival 00:14:47.690 --> 00:14:50.450 situation. Now I kind of want to do some experimenting. 00:14:51.429 --> 00:14:55.570 Right. So Alex has been helping me build that. 00:14:55.690 --> 00:15:00.049 I'm going to start doing what I do when I hyper 00:15:00.049 --> 00:15:03.309 -focus on something, which is just research and 00:15:03.309 --> 00:15:07.330 watch and learn all I can about it. So I have 00:15:07.330 --> 00:15:10.620 a really good idea of... uh all the working parts 00:15:10.620 --> 00:15:13.200 how to assemble how to disassemble and then i 00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:17.940 will probably once i purchase everything um much 00:15:17.940 --> 00:15:20.960 like when i purchase anything else i will work 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:22.779 it until i know everything by hand in memory 00:15:22.779 --> 00:15:26.100 first before i even shoot it so dude how cool 00:15:26.100 --> 00:15:29.559 would it be if we did a video this would have 00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:32.279 to go on peer tube not youtube i think but if 00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:35.580 we did a video of us building your ar oh god 00:15:35.580 --> 00:15:37.720 that'd be so fucking cool We could definitely 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:40.580 release it on YouTube. We won't get monetized, 00:15:40.620 --> 00:15:42.879 but we would never look to get monetized for 00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:46.879 that anyways. We're not monetized either way. 00:15:47.940 --> 00:15:50.059 Yeah, I was going to say. What are we joking? 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:52.580 We could throw it on my channel. I don't know. 00:15:52.779 --> 00:15:55.600 Just Botches? Yeah, Botches has a channel. Duh. 00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:58.659 Yeah, it's where I posted my walk around and 00:15:58.659 --> 00:16:02.960 where every podcast episode goes. Yeah, I forgot 00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:05.440 as soon as I said that, though. But yeah, we 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:09.429 could post it on there. I'd love to do that. 00:16:09.470 --> 00:16:12.490 We could do the video of us doing that. I'll 00:16:12.490 --> 00:16:14.870 probably come over there, and we could set up 00:16:14.870 --> 00:16:18.250 some tables, get some beers. I'll clean my desk 00:16:18.250 --> 00:16:20.409 so it doesn't look like a pile of trash, and 00:16:20.409 --> 00:16:23.809 then we can do it in here. You know, if you guys 00:16:23.809 --> 00:16:30.019 bought an AR as well... We could do a build party 00:16:30.019 --> 00:16:32.320 and build it all at the same time, and that would 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:36.500 be even cooler. I'll just take my AR apart and 00:16:36.500 --> 00:16:38.960 rebuild it. It probably needs cleaned anyway. 00:16:39.779 --> 00:16:43.899 Well, you could buy, I don't know, you could 00:16:43.899 --> 00:16:47.220 buy an upgraded barrel or a new trigger. I'm 00:16:47.220 --> 00:16:49.299 thinking about doing a drop -in trigger group. 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:52.059 I want a two -stage trigger pretty bad, so that 00:16:52.059 --> 00:16:55.000 might be a thing. Me too. I guess I'll do some 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:57.600 looking. I was going to hold off on it, but... 00:16:57.769 --> 00:17:00.330 It's a lot of money. The thing is... It is. Well, 00:17:00.389 --> 00:17:03.309 and if you're buying one anyway, Gavin, that's 00:17:03.309 --> 00:17:06.250 a reason for you to buy the pack of three lowers. 00:17:06.950 --> 00:17:09.329 But we have to go through an FFL. Either way, 00:17:09.430 --> 00:17:11.750 we... Oh, we're going to 3D print them. Shh. 00:17:15.390 --> 00:17:17.369 We were going to hand carve them out of wood. 00:17:17.430 --> 00:17:20.930 Can you hand carve those out of wood? They're 00:17:20.930 --> 00:17:27.019 not handling any combustion, right? technically 00:17:27.019 --> 00:17:29.859 no you wouldn't be able to because the the bcg 00:17:29.859 --> 00:17:36.019 would get hung up as it slides but i mean a what's 00:17:36.019 --> 00:17:39.200 the difference between a 3d printed one made 00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:42.180 out of plastic versus a wood one with maybe a 00:17:42.180 --> 00:17:44.700 little bit of plastic on top of it you'd have 00:17:44.700 --> 00:17:48.819 to do a plastic uh bcg slide that gets hammered 00:17:48.819 --> 00:17:54.789 into it i mean maybe a lower i was just I'm just 00:17:54.789 --> 00:17:58.490 spitballed. How homemade can people get? I mean, 00:17:58.509 --> 00:18:03.269 I know. Let's say they ban them tomorrow. Can 00:18:03.269 --> 00:18:07.509 we carve one out of a piece of wood? I'd love 00:18:07.509 --> 00:18:09.470 to see that. I'm sure someone would have something. 00:18:09.670 --> 00:18:12.089 If they ban them tomorrow, I do have a thumb 00:18:12.089 --> 00:18:15.410 drive in an airtight box buried under a tree 00:18:15.410 --> 00:18:19.430 at my dad's that has all the files we need. Yay. 00:18:21.430 --> 00:18:24.960 You know, okay. The world's not crazy out there. 00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:28.559 Let's talk about burying guns. Right. I've been 00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:30.440 thinking, I've been thinking about this, how 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:33.740 to do it and have them stay good. Right. So if 00:18:33.740 --> 00:18:38.240 you got like a six inch PVC, you cut it a little 00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:41.759 bit longer than the length of your barrel. Right. 00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:46.240 Then you put the bottom cap on and you seal it 00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:49.380 up with some PVC glue. And then you put all the 00:18:49.380 --> 00:18:52.759 gun pieces, gun disassembled down inside this. 00:18:54.049 --> 00:18:59.670 piece of PVC and then pour a bunch of gun oil 00:18:59.670 --> 00:19:03.670 on it, whatever kind, and then seal the other 00:19:03.670 --> 00:19:07.390 end, I think you could bury that capsule without 00:19:07.390 --> 00:19:11.369 worrying about the gun rotting out. Yeah. PVC 00:19:11.369 --> 00:19:14.150 is really good for that, obviously. Everyone 00:19:14.150 --> 00:19:18.230 knows that. I, oddly enough, have thought of 00:19:18.230 --> 00:19:21.430 this before and landed on the PVC route through 00:19:21.430 --> 00:19:26.990 Reddit, but moisture wick bags. They're not forever, 00:19:27.150 --> 00:19:31.609 but the amount of moisture inside of it short 00:19:31.609 --> 00:19:34.150 term, I think would be fine. But if you're filling 00:19:34.150 --> 00:19:38.670 it with oil, you don't need them. Yeah. I mean, 00:19:38.690 --> 00:19:40.569 that's how we just don't. That's how you ship. 00:19:40.670 --> 00:19:42.869 That's how you ship guns is in a bag full of 00:19:42.869 --> 00:19:47.130 oil. Yeah, I remember mine coming out fucking. 00:19:47.490 --> 00:19:50.990 And then it takes like 20 minutes to clean that 00:19:50.990 --> 00:19:54.609 gun off before it's ready to fire. I mean, for 00:19:54.609 --> 00:19:59.230 me, the only time that I would bury my gun... 00:19:59.230 --> 00:20:06.349 I can't think of one. I would seal it up in a 00:20:06.349 --> 00:20:08.309 box and throw it in a hollow tree or something 00:20:08.309 --> 00:20:12.170 before I bury it. Just to make it easier. Because 00:20:12.170 --> 00:20:14.390 at that same time, you still have to go and unbury 00:20:14.390 --> 00:20:16.170 it. You still have to know exactly where it's 00:20:16.170 --> 00:20:18.230 at in the dirt. You just bury it under a tree. 00:20:19.150 --> 00:20:23.519 What if you just camouflage? Put it in a PVC 00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:27.859 pipe. Pull it up into a tree. Camouflage cache. 00:20:29.859 --> 00:20:32.519 I just think it's more likely to get found than 00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:35.720 if you buried it. Right, but if it's on your 00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:38.279 property, like... Yeah, then it only gets found 00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:41.839 if the guy ATF is at your house coming to take 00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:43.660 your guns and they're like, let us check everything. 00:20:44.819 --> 00:20:47.220 Well, too bad, buddy. I lost it in a boating 00:20:47.220 --> 00:20:50.160 accident along with my full stock of batteries. 00:20:52.629 --> 00:20:56.170 Yeah, it sucks that you have to go through an 00:20:56.170 --> 00:20:58.910 FFL for a lower. You used to be able to buy ones 00:20:58.910 --> 00:21:00.630 that just needed milled out, and then it took, 00:21:00.650 --> 00:21:05.069 like, no time at all. Yeah, that is odd. I'll 00:21:05.069 --> 00:21:07.569 look at M82 Armory, though, and see if they have 00:21:07.569 --> 00:21:11.910 some lowers. I guess just to see what the price 00:21:11.910 --> 00:21:14.490 of their lowers would be, but that is a pain. 00:21:14.589 --> 00:21:16.589 Guys, it's gotten worse. I can't close my finger 00:21:16.589 --> 00:21:22.640 at all anymore. You allergic? No. Oh, I got stung 00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:24.960 by a bee today on my finger and have, like, lost 00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:29.299 all use of my finger. Well, I don't know if he 00:21:29.299 --> 00:21:32.180 could say all loss. Like, he could still point 00:21:32.180 --> 00:21:37.700 really good. Yeah, yeah. He makes a good C. And, 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:39.720 like, I can move the base of it. I just can't 00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:45.180 bend it. I mean, you have four other fingers. 00:21:45.660 --> 00:21:50.299 You'll be all right. Yeah. Is that your right 00:21:50.299 --> 00:21:53.500 hand or left hand? Left hand. Alright, see? Your 00:21:53.500 --> 00:21:57.000 trigger finger's good. The thing is, every time 00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:59.400 I get stung by a bee, I don't even notice it. 00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:01.859 This is the first time that it's actually a problem. 00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:13.440 Damn. Well... I don't know. So... I think I just 00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:17.359 want to... more guns i'm really so i really want 00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:21.940 to get into um i don't know if i want to say 00:22:21.940 --> 00:22:26.799 competition but i've always wanted to get into 00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:32.119 drills and and just doing that like every weekend 00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:34.720 every other weekend just shooting drills shooting 00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:38.240 long range being competent and confident with 00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:43.990 what i have it's just expensive And expensive 00:22:43.990 --> 00:22:49.009 not in even the sense of the gun itself, but 00:22:49.009 --> 00:22:52.910 it's expensive in rounds. Like, just the cost 00:22:52.910 --> 00:22:55.190 of rounds and to do this every weekend, to stay 00:22:55.190 --> 00:22:59.430 confident. That's why I don't shoot. Like, I 00:22:59.430 --> 00:23:03.109 shoot a couple times, maybe once a month. Yeah. 00:23:03.309 --> 00:23:07.190 Just because it's so freaking expensive. Yeah, 00:23:07.210 --> 00:23:11.089 I'm down quite a bit now. I used to shoot quite 00:23:11.089 --> 00:23:14.150 a bit, and especially I'd shoot my .22 more than 00:23:14.150 --> 00:23:15.829 anything, really, because it was the cheapest, 00:23:15.849 --> 00:23:20.569 and I had like 500 rounds of it, but now I'm 00:23:20.569 --> 00:23:23.589 down to a couple hundred, and it's nice. Usually, 00:23:23.849 --> 00:23:26.690 I've always been blessed with really good hand 00:23:26.690 --> 00:23:28.789 -eye coordination, so I can usually get back 00:23:28.789 --> 00:23:33.430 to whatever muscle memory I had before. That 00:23:33.430 --> 00:23:35.390 only means so much when you don't have them. 00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:41.099 muscle endurance i guess but but now that you 00:23:41.099 --> 00:23:44.720 just now that we're we should get out of guns 00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:49.539 now and talk about actual off -road stuff i have 00:23:49.539 --> 00:23:54.019 two good off -road topics to talk about one okay 00:23:54.019 --> 00:23:57.279 i mean i'll announce it i'm not gonna say what 00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:00.859 else happening but the holy grail project has 00:24:00.859 --> 00:24:05.900 started so That's going on. For the Holy Grail, 00:24:05.900 --> 00:24:08.099 I've got two options because I'm going to do 00:24:08.099 --> 00:24:11.579 a SAS swap. I don't want to deal with IFS problems 00:24:11.579 --> 00:24:16.680 on this truck. So I'm looking at possibly doing 00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:21.039 Dana 44s. And I actually found a set of Dana 00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:26.059 44s out of a Grand Wagoneer. And for any listeners 00:24:26.059 --> 00:24:29.269 that know anything about doing a SAS. Why shouldn't 00:24:29.269 --> 00:24:32.809 I do Dana 44s over like a Dana 60? Obviously, 00:24:32.890 --> 00:24:35.849 the Dana 60 is stronger, but I also don't want 00:24:35.849 --> 00:24:39.109 to lose a shit ton of ground clearance. Yeah. 00:24:39.710 --> 00:24:42.509 You know, Dana 44s are good up to like 37 inch 00:24:42.509 --> 00:24:45.529 tires. I've seen people run 40s on them. So really, 00:24:45.650 --> 00:24:48.250 what is the inherent drawback to running a Dana 00:24:48.250 --> 00:24:55.349 44? Yeah. Very curious about that, too. Yeah, 00:24:55.410 --> 00:24:57.410 that's going on. We're going to sass Mark's truck 00:24:57.410 --> 00:25:02.950 too because IFS sucks. Yep. Yep. After seeing 00:25:02.950 --> 00:25:05.269 him troubleshoot for the last year now almost. 00:25:05.849 --> 00:25:07.289 Yeah, but I got it figured out. I think we're 00:25:07.289 --> 00:25:10.970 better off not doing it. I know. But I think 00:25:10.970 --> 00:25:12.930 we're better off getting away from the IFS route. 00:25:14.269 --> 00:25:18.869 Yeah, I full -heartedly agree. Gavin is going 00:25:18.869 --> 00:25:26.410 to stay IFS forever. oh i think he's muted gavin 00:25:26.410 --> 00:25:28.529 is muted he's sad that we're not talking about 00:25:28.529 --> 00:25:33.769 guns anymore no no sorry uh but yeah no i'm uh 00:25:33.769 --> 00:25:38.430 uh yeah for the foreseeable future i have other 00:25:38.430 --> 00:25:40.589 stuff to spend my money on and i'm not doing 00:25:40.589 --> 00:25:42.869 anything where solid x is gonna benefit me so 00:25:42.869 --> 00:25:46.670 much that it's worth it so and it's so expensive 00:25:46.670 --> 00:25:49.430 like the kit that i'm looking at for the front 00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:54.000 from uh four -wheel underground is like 7500 00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:58.460 fuck dude but that that's almost on par with 00:25:58.460 --> 00:26:02.180 any good ifs long travel route we gotta do so 00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:04.680 i mean at that point you're like which one do 00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:09.500 i do yeah i mean my long travel didn't cost that 00:26:09.500 --> 00:26:13.720 much it was free no yeah and to be fair that 00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:17.720 7500 includes coilovers uh radflow coilovers 00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:22.400 so they're good coilovers But the top of the 00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:26.319 line for our IFS route is our RCLT, whoever it 00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:30.420 is. Yeah. Which everyone runs. Well, the RCLT 00:26:30.420 --> 00:26:34.160 is sick. It doesn't work with third -gen 4Runners. 00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:40.420 Yeah. But it's also, like, almost $10 ,000. Yeah, 00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:42.059 so, I mean, it's going to be sick either way. 00:26:42.500 --> 00:26:45.839 I'm really looking forward to, well, one, having 00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:50.039 better articulation. to having uh lockout hubs 00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:52.920 because we all know how much i hate not being 00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:58.039 able to shut off my front wheels um yeah yeah 00:26:58.039 --> 00:27:00.940 so we're gonna do a solid axle swap the next 00:27:00.940 --> 00:27:06.980 thing is i need to upgrade my mule i have decided 00:27:06.980 --> 00:27:10.299 even though it is a company vehicle that it's 00:27:10.299 --> 00:27:13.779 a good idea to buy uh i'm going to build the 00:27:13.779 --> 00:27:17.099 back window i'm going to put something over it 00:27:17.099 --> 00:27:19.220 maybe steel if i can find a sheet of steel cheap 00:27:19.220 --> 00:27:22.000 enough and then i want to build a box that i 00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:25.220 can put a diesel heater in yeah because the mule's 00:27:25.220 --> 00:27:28.440 diesel so then i just run a little fuel tank 00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:31.500 or fuel line up to the diesel heater and boom 00:27:31.500 --> 00:27:37.799 now my little mule is heated yeah so i think 00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:41.579 i'm gonna do that um and then next i still need 00:27:41.579 --> 00:27:44.660 tires that set of 35s the guy's a fucking douche 00:27:44.660 --> 00:27:49.329 canoe and That's not gonna happen. Nope. He's 00:27:49.329 --> 00:27:50.970 only a douche canoe because he sold them and 00:27:50.970 --> 00:27:52.970 won't mark them sold. So they keep popping up 00:27:52.970 --> 00:27:55.490 in my... Or at least get rid of the listing. 00:27:55.690 --> 00:28:01.750 That's what I'm saying. And he even said in the 00:28:01.750 --> 00:28:04.230 listing at one point he deleted... Yeah, he edited 00:28:04.230 --> 00:28:05.990 the listing. That's the part that's got me really 00:28:05.990 --> 00:28:12.130 confused. Because it used to say if it says it's 00:28:12.130 --> 00:28:14.480 available, it's available. But... It says it's 00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:20.779 available and it's not available. So... Weird. 00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:30.700 Yeah. People suck. Marketplace sucks. Alright, 00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:32.920 so that's my two off -roady things. What do you 00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:40.589 got going on, Mark? Um... Trying to get it. I'm 00:28:40.589 --> 00:28:43.869 trying to save up so I can do it, but the FJ 00:28:43.869 --> 00:28:48.170 manual transfer case will appear hopefully the 00:28:48.170 --> 00:28:50.130 next month or so. Yeah, we need to do that for 00:28:50.130 --> 00:28:57.670 sure. Yeah. I think I'm trying to decide if I 00:28:57.670 --> 00:28:59.470 want to tear down and take care of a couple engine 00:28:59.470 --> 00:29:01.250 things that I've been meaning to do for the last 00:29:01.250 --> 00:29:04.289 year now. You should wait until the Black Trek's 00:29:04.289 --> 00:29:11.450 ready for that. Yeah, I know. Stupid knock sensors 00:29:11.450 --> 00:29:15.509 is annoying. And then... Gotta look at that second 00:29:15.509 --> 00:29:18.069 air intake bypass thing again. It's throwing 00:29:18.069 --> 00:29:20.470 colds again. God damn it, dude. That thing's 00:29:20.470 --> 00:29:24.210 a pain in the ass. Yep. So I'm thinking I'm better 00:29:24.210 --> 00:29:26.130 off buying a new one and see if that fixes it. 00:29:26.329 --> 00:29:31.529 A new truck? No, not a new truck. From what I 00:29:31.529 --> 00:29:33.549 understood, a lot of people have lemon kits. 00:29:33.950 --> 00:29:36.490 And so I might have ended up with a lemon kit 00:29:36.490 --> 00:29:41.279 put into that truck. Gotcha. I'm usually buying 00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:42.980 a different one that actually fixes the problem, 00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:48.220 so hopefully that's the case. And Gavin, do you 00:29:48.220 --> 00:29:54.299 have anything off -roady? God, how rude. Of course. 00:29:54.940 --> 00:29:57.279 I mean, this is an off -road podcast, right? 00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:01.859 Did you look at your truck this week? Yeah. I've 00:30:01.859 --> 00:30:07.160 been in it, been outside of it. I did some rewiring. 00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:13.099 wired some rock lights on my truck i put my solar 00:30:13.099 --> 00:30:15.279 panel on my truck you got your rock lights wired 00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:18.359 yeah they were there the other day when i came 00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:21.940 by oh i didn't even see him he didn't quite get 00:30:21.940 --> 00:30:24.220 all the way to the back of his vehicle yeah so 00:30:24.220 --> 00:30:29.019 the rock lights that i won the cables didn't 00:30:29.019 --> 00:30:31.920 go all the way to the back because i still had 00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:35.259 to do like a small extension cable so they were 00:30:35.259 --> 00:30:37.460 it was like a harness and then they had extension 00:30:37.460 --> 00:30:40.559 but they only had two extensions and i won this 00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:42.960 from a company i won't even name them because 00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:46.380 probably not worth it but they were about they're 00:30:46.380 --> 00:30:49.640 worth about 76 bucks from their website but uh 00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:52.960 rgb so when i went to see if i could splice them 00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:57.339 i had like five or six wires inside of it and 00:30:57.339 --> 00:30:59.920 i'm like i'm not doing all that not for a free 00:30:59.920 --> 00:31:02.390 kit Not for something I'm only putting on just 00:31:02.390 --> 00:31:06.710 to put on. And they only had. Oh, you only had 00:31:06.710 --> 00:31:11.109 what? Was there only four rock lights? Six. And 00:31:11.109 --> 00:31:14.690 they only gave you two extensions. Yeah. That's 00:31:14.690 --> 00:31:18.849 pretty trash. Not going to lie. Yeah. I mean, 00:31:18.890 --> 00:31:23.529 if I would have. So there's a control box and 00:31:23.529 --> 00:31:26.890 some other wiring. And I think, honestly, if 00:31:26.890 --> 00:31:29.009 I would have wired that stuff a little lower. 00:31:29.740 --> 00:31:32.380 in my engine bay i probably would have made it 00:31:32.380 --> 00:31:36.339 um but i just i couldn't find any mounting points 00:31:36.339 --> 00:31:38.579 i was getting close to steering linkage and like 00:31:38.579 --> 00:31:42.160 exhaust and i did not want to like get too close 00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:45.460 to that so um and i was being lazy like i really 00:31:45.460 --> 00:31:48.240 i hate to say it but like i really didn't want 00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:51.500 to put them on but i got them for free i was 00:31:51.500 --> 00:31:54.599 like fuck it while i'm here let's just do it 00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:57.309 and it Kind of was a pain in the ass, really. 00:31:57.490 --> 00:32:02.049 The lights themselves came with these cheap bolts 00:32:02.049 --> 00:32:05.769 and nuts, and I would have to have holes to put 00:32:05.769 --> 00:32:08.190 them through. Like, I don't have any fucking 00:32:08.190 --> 00:32:10.670 holes to mount these through throughout the body 00:32:10.670 --> 00:32:13.369 of the truck that are pre -drilled, so I put 00:32:13.369 --> 00:32:18.269 self -tappers. That's what I did. And the self 00:32:18.269 --> 00:32:20.269 -tappers couldn't set all the way because the 00:32:20.269 --> 00:32:23.799 horrors were bold for those... bolts i for the 00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:26.500 bolts i went and got smaller self tappers so 00:32:26.500 --> 00:32:30.779 they would fit yeah well i think the issue was 00:32:30.779 --> 00:32:33.640 is my bits couldn't fit inside of the the hole 00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:38.299 like the the surrounding of it yeah um so i just 00:32:38.299 --> 00:32:40.240 got them as tight as i could which they're tight 00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:42.359 wait and if they're just not as tight if they're 00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:44.099 rgb you couldn't put them through your switch 00:32:44.099 --> 00:32:49.710 panel could you i can yeah so um it does have 00:32:49.710 --> 00:32:52.190 a switch to turn them on and off but that switch 00:32:52.190 --> 00:32:55.529 is uh manual so i actually just kind of tucked 00:32:55.529 --> 00:32:58.650 that into the pillar and then ran it off your 00:32:58.650 --> 00:33:01.890 switch panel so it's always on and then when 00:33:01.890 --> 00:33:05.130 i turn my switch panel on it's always on and 00:33:05.130 --> 00:33:07.250 then there's a remote that you can change it 00:33:07.250 --> 00:33:09.029 from outside of the truck whatever color whatever 00:33:09.029 --> 00:33:12.609 blah blah so they're bright they look decent 00:33:12.609 --> 00:33:16.509 i wired the So out of the six, I did my front 00:33:16.509 --> 00:33:19.789 engine, or front engine, my front wheel wells, 00:33:19.910 --> 00:33:23.390 and then I did right under our doors, like where 00:33:23.390 --> 00:33:25.809 we open them, so we had some lighting when we 00:33:25.809 --> 00:33:29.690 did that. Yeah. And then I have them in the front 00:33:29.690 --> 00:33:32.869 of my grill area, I guess, just for some backlight, 00:33:32.950 --> 00:33:36.630 just because it was a place to put them. Are 00:33:36.630 --> 00:33:42.950 you trying to... Oh. Here's an alarm. Man, that 00:33:42.950 --> 00:33:46.589 is loud. This is loud. Here we go. So you know 00:33:46.589 --> 00:33:48.329 how you always call during the podcast, Dan? 00:33:49.450 --> 00:33:52.529 Hey, it's podcast night. Bye. Bye. You're on 00:33:52.529 --> 00:33:54.289 the podcast, if you want to say. Oh, he's gone. 00:33:57.849 --> 00:34:00.349 Hey, man, he had a good announcer voice. Hey, 00:34:00.410 --> 00:34:06.089 it's podcast time. Bye. That's funny. But yeah, 00:34:06.170 --> 00:34:08.869 so I ran the rock lights just up to my grill 00:34:08.869 --> 00:34:11.619 area. So they do backlighting. That's what they 00:34:11.619 --> 00:34:15.619 are. They're ambiance. So, I mean, they went 00:34:15.619 --> 00:34:18.000 fine. They work. They're bright -ish. I mean, 00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:22.059 I can see them in the daylight. But I also wired 00:34:22.059 --> 00:34:24.800 in my solar panel. I thought you already did 00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:28.719 that. I haven't. I don't think I said that on 00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:31.579 the podcast, though. Yeah, no. That wasn't on 00:34:31.579 --> 00:34:35.559 the podcast yet. Yeah, so I wired in the solar 00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:38.519 panel. Probably, what was it, last week, I think? 00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:42.519 because it was before rigs the week before like 00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:46.599 wednesday before rigs yep um did the whole decal 00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:48.380 it was my first time putting on a decal and it 00:34:48.380 --> 00:34:50.760 was easier and harder than i thought at the same 00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:54.179 time like i didn't know i just have to unroll 00:34:54.179 --> 00:34:56.980 it throw some soapy water under it and then squeegee 00:34:56.980 --> 00:35:00.519 it all off that was easier than i thought but 00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:02.619 at the same time it kept sliding around every 00:35:02.619 --> 00:35:04.639 time i was pushing water out of it it was pissing 00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:07.420 me off so harder than i thought in that sense 00:35:07.420 --> 00:35:11.280 so yeah so first time for everything and maybe 00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:13.340 i should have read some instructions but i watched 00:35:13.340 --> 00:35:15.260 a couple youtube videos oh my god professional 00:35:15.260 --> 00:35:19.460 so hey it turned out all right mark saw it i 00:35:19.460 --> 00:35:24.000 saw it so oh yeah yeah so yeah i did that squeegeed 00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:29.139 it all off um waited the two to four to 24 whatever 00:35:29.139 --> 00:35:33.860 it said hours for it to cure um it said 24 to 00:35:33.860 --> 00:35:37.639 48 but i couldn't wait wanted to do So I did 00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:42.320 the two to four, and it was hot out. It adhered. 00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:46.059 It was fine. It was dry. And put the solar panel 00:35:46.059 --> 00:35:49.320 on that after I 3M sticky taped the whole bottom 00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:52.699 of the solar panel. Put that bitch on there. 00:35:54.099 --> 00:35:57.679 Super easy wiring, just two connections, and 00:35:57.679 --> 00:36:03.369 then you just wire that to your battery. It was 00:36:03.369 --> 00:36:06.630 super easy. I mounted the solar controller on 00:36:06.630 --> 00:36:11.210 top of my switch panel controller. A switch panel 00:36:11.210 --> 00:36:14.190 box, which is also on top of my battery. So I 00:36:14.190 --> 00:36:22.050 have a mountain of things on top of my fuse top 00:36:22.050 --> 00:36:26.769 on my battery. But that was... I was being lazy. 00:36:27.230 --> 00:36:31.579 I'll move it someday. So... I got that. It's 00:36:31.579 --> 00:36:33.760 all hooked up. It's working. It was charging 00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:36.960 in a good 65 watts when I wasn't at full charge. 00:36:37.420 --> 00:36:40.019 So I would say that that's working pretty well 00:36:40.019 --> 00:36:42.900 for a 100 -watt solar panel. If you don't know, 00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:45.599 they only kind of charge to 80 % of capacity 00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:48.719 usually anyway. And then Michigan is Michigan, 00:36:48.780 --> 00:36:52.880 and we have no sun. Yeah. So 65 watts for me. 00:36:53.159 --> 00:36:56.920 I don't know about that one. yeah it's been sunny 00:36:56.920 --> 00:37:00.599 last couple days it has but like the thing is 00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:03.400 solar panels here in general work less than a 00:37:03.400 --> 00:37:06.920 solar panel in say arizona yeah right just the 00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:12.340 uv yeah exposure yeah um so yeah no i'm it's 00:37:12.340 --> 00:37:14.719 working good i have it on a bluetooth app so 00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:17.739 i could check what it's drawing what my battery 00:37:17.739 --> 00:37:20.679 is at what the temperature of my battery is at 00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:25.099 everything like that so um it's pretty cool And 00:37:25.099 --> 00:37:27.239 then I did some wire management because that 00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:31.380 was seriously needed. Got my little mini zip 00:37:31.380 --> 00:37:36.780 ties out, started kind of, I don't know, like 00:37:36.780 --> 00:37:39.960 consolidating. And then while I was working all 00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:44.400 that wiring, I took my battery out, cut a piece 00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:49.059 of wood to make a spacer to raise my battery 00:37:49.059 --> 00:37:53.500 up a little bit. And put the wood underneath 00:37:53.500 --> 00:37:57.760 the battery. Because I have a red top, and the 00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:01.019 red top was about two and a half inches shorter 00:38:01.019 --> 00:38:07.760 than my old battery. Same or better cranking, 00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:13.420 but just shorter. So my mount bracket for the 00:38:13.420 --> 00:38:16.079 battery, the hold down bracket, couldn't tighten 00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:20.139 on it. So that loose negative issue I was having 00:38:20.139 --> 00:38:23.119 when I was wheeling and my truck just not starting. 00:38:23.849 --> 00:38:26.469 Um, that was because my battery was bouncing 00:38:26.469 --> 00:38:28.309 around and it loosened the negative terminal 00:38:28.309 --> 00:38:34.090 off. Um, so I put that underneath the battery, 00:38:34.309 --> 00:38:39.030 bolted that down with some self tappers and, 00:38:39.150 --> 00:38:43.909 uh, you know, put that back on, mounted it, tested 00:38:43.909 --> 00:38:46.329 everything out. Everything worked good. We went 00:38:46.329 --> 00:38:49.590 to go to rigs and coffee Sunday and I couldn't 00:38:49.590 --> 00:38:52.090 shift out of park. Oh my God. What the fuck? 00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:55.699 so i'm trying to figure out can't figure out 00:38:55.699 --> 00:38:57.900 why it won't let me shift out of park i thought 00:38:57.900 --> 00:39:00.019 you know what maybe while i was messing and checking 00:39:00.019 --> 00:39:03.820 fuses um i put one back in the wrong spot sure 00:39:03.820 --> 00:39:08.280 as shit i had one uh it was like a it was my 00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:12.260 park uh auxiliary or something like that yep 00:39:12.260 --> 00:39:15.139 fuse is in the one spot lower than it was supposed 00:39:15.139 --> 00:39:18.869 to be i moved it boom i could shift It's crazy. 00:39:19.190 --> 00:39:22.489 I had a similar problem when I hit that deer 00:39:22.489 --> 00:39:26.150 last year, where as soon as I hit the deer, I 00:39:26.150 --> 00:39:29.570 couldn't even... I could get it to shift out 00:39:29.570 --> 00:39:31.750 of park, but I had to hit the park release, and 00:39:31.750 --> 00:39:34.090 I couldn't figure out why. Turned out that it 00:39:34.090 --> 00:39:38.050 had... When I hit the deer, it had jostled the 00:39:38.050 --> 00:39:42.070 fuse out of position. No other damage on the 00:39:42.070 --> 00:39:46.190 truck. The fuse just rose out of its slot. Yeah. 00:39:46.829 --> 00:39:48.789 Yeah, well, it happened to me because I was at 00:39:48.789 --> 00:39:52.130 daycare and my mirror lights were flickering 00:39:52.130 --> 00:39:56.590 and then just turned off. So I tried to fix the 00:39:56.590 --> 00:39:59.010 mirror light. I popped the reflective part of 00:39:59.010 --> 00:40:02.769 the mirror off, reconnected and kind of messed 00:40:02.769 --> 00:40:04.730 with the prongs of the light. And I guess I blown 00:40:04.730 --> 00:40:07.610 a fuse and I did that. And normally I wouldn't 00:40:07.610 --> 00:40:13.409 care, but that fuse also powers my dash lights. 00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:18.500 So I couldn't see a damn thing. So I went to 00:40:18.500 --> 00:40:20.780 go fix that, and that's how I figured that out. 00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:26.519 So, yeah. Other than that, no real news. I have 00:40:26.519 --> 00:40:30.820 Bison sending me some new gear soon. That's going 00:40:30.820 --> 00:40:32.519 to be cool. They're sending me the propane tank 00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:37.480 mount and a couple other goodies. So I will let 00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:39.860 you guys know how that goes. But not having my 00:40:39.860 --> 00:40:43.719 propane tank in the truck. It'll be nice. Yeah. 00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:46.960 It'll save me some space so that I could put 00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:52.159 my firebox that I just got. I just picked up 00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:55.880 a firebox and a propane tank. Propane tank went 00:40:55.880 --> 00:41:00.719 to Alex. And the firebox I tested out, really 00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:03.440 good. Carries some really good heat, honestly. 00:41:03.579 --> 00:41:07.079 I was surprised. I wish that the propane tank 00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:08.980 was the blue one just because they look cool. 00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:13.530 They do. Yeah, they do. um when i looked it up 00:41:13.530 --> 00:41:16.250 to see the price of it because i was gonna put 00:41:16.250 --> 00:41:17.949 it on marketplace if nobody said they wanted 00:41:17.949 --> 00:41:23.210 it uh for you know 100 bucks or so and saw that 00:41:23.210 --> 00:41:28.030 they were like pretty expensive yeah but the 00:41:28.030 --> 00:41:31.440 blue ones are cool so That's why it doesn't matter. 00:41:31.699 --> 00:41:33.840 I got it for free. Basically, that was the reason 00:41:33.840 --> 00:41:36.280 that I was never a huge fan because it's like 00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:39.079 one hundred and thirty dollars for a fucking 00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:41.820 five pound propane tank. Like, it's insane. Yeah. 00:41:42.780 --> 00:41:45.360 Yeah. And then for the like the shield thing 00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:47.739 that goes over it, the cover of the bag or whatever. 00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:52.960 Yeah, that's another price, too. So I found a 00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:55.500 fire can for sale on Facebook for one hundred 00:41:55.500 --> 00:41:56.980 and twenty bucks. I asked them if they'd take 00:41:56.980 --> 00:42:00.030 one hundred. They said, sure. So I picked that 00:42:00.030 --> 00:42:05.630 up for $100 and gave Alex half of that kit, and 00:42:05.630 --> 00:42:09.269 I kept the fire can. Gave. Tested it out on my... 00:42:09.269 --> 00:42:13.190 Gave Alex. I paid for it. Well, I didn't want 00:42:13.190 --> 00:42:15.389 to say that you paid a certain amount, so that's 00:42:15.389 --> 00:42:21.949 just what I said. But then, yeah, I tested it 00:42:21.949 --> 00:42:23.690 out before I did that just to make sure there 00:42:23.690 --> 00:42:25.170 was gas and everything in the tank, everything 00:42:25.170 --> 00:42:27.590 was working properly. Did it on my dining room 00:42:27.590 --> 00:42:34.019 table. That was smart. Yeah, I paid the price 00:42:34.019 --> 00:42:38.800 that those tanks should be. Yeah, I mean, $50. 00:42:39.119 --> 00:42:43.179 That's what they should be. So all in all, in 00:42:43.179 --> 00:42:46.480 the firebox, which is usually a good $200 -some 00:42:46.480 --> 00:42:48.940 dollars for the firebox and then $100 -some dollars 00:42:48.940 --> 00:42:53.780 for the tank, I paid, after guy math, $50. Yeah, 00:42:53.800 --> 00:42:59.369 you did good. Yeah, so. It was pretty good. Alex 00:42:59.369 --> 00:43:01.210 has something for cheaper than it would usually 00:43:01.210 --> 00:43:03.429 be if he bought it. I have something for cheaper 00:43:03.429 --> 00:43:05.590 than it usually would be if I bought it. Yeah. 00:43:05.610 --> 00:43:07.610 If you hadn't gotten that, I never would have 00:43:07.610 --> 00:43:08.849 bought that. I would have just went and bought 00:43:08.849 --> 00:43:11.130 a five pound one from somewhere or probably a 00:43:11.130 --> 00:43:14.349 10 pound, honestly. And I would have just ran 00:43:14.349 --> 00:43:16.429 that. 10 pounds aren't that much. Yeah. 10 pounds 00:43:16.429 --> 00:43:18.769 are that much more expensive than five, surprisingly, 00:43:18.769 --> 00:43:23.090 but kind of crazy. I wonder how much I can get 00:43:23.090 --> 00:43:29.670 a 10 pound one for off marketplace. sorry if 00:43:29.670 --> 00:43:31.989 anybody hears my kid knocking around apparently 00:43:31.989 --> 00:43:35.150 he's a heathen he broke our gate that separates 00:43:35.150 --> 00:43:38.170 the kitchen to like get over here and i've been 00:43:38.170 --> 00:43:40.230 too lazy to put it back up because it's kind 00:43:40.230 --> 00:43:43.530 of a pain yeah so you see this is what i would 00:43:43.530 --> 00:43:47.789 have done two 30 pound propane tanks in saginaw 00:43:47.789 --> 00:43:56.409 for 28 certified yeah i mean that's good yeah 00:43:56.409 --> 00:44:01.900 i don't know 30 pounds yeah interesting i just 00:44:01.900 --> 00:44:04.739 have a hard time paying the ridiculous prices 00:44:04.739 --> 00:44:07.559 some of these companies ask for ignix like i 00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:09.900 like ignic products don't get me wrong it's just 00:44:09.900 --> 00:44:13.380 they're not worth it's literally just a bit of 00:44:13.380 --> 00:44:20.059 steel with a valve on it yeah but yeah i have 00:44:20.059 --> 00:44:22.639 no problem with it i paid it um because i was 00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:24.739 storing it in the vehicle and i wanted the nice 00:44:24.739 --> 00:44:27.960 little case um to help keep some of the crap 00:44:28.409 --> 00:44:30.489 uh because i really don't love propane smell 00:44:30.489 --> 00:44:33.309 yeah um so i want to kind of keep that sealed 00:44:33.309 --> 00:44:36.070 in and seem to do well enough and keep it clean 00:44:36.070 --> 00:44:39.889 keep it without getting wet um and i could store 00:44:39.889 --> 00:44:42.650 it outside without really worrying about it and 00:44:42.650 --> 00:44:46.130 i'm gonna try that when i do get that propane 00:44:46.130 --> 00:44:48.110 tank mount i'm gonna try and do it with the case 00:44:48.110 --> 00:44:54.389 and if i can't so be it but Getting that, the 00:44:54.389 --> 00:44:56.610 whole reason I wanted the five pounder was because 00:44:56.610 --> 00:45:01.010 I needed something bigger than a one. And I really 00:45:01.010 --> 00:45:03.769 didn't, I didn't have a ton of space inside the 00:45:03.769 --> 00:45:08.170 truck to put like a 30. So it was kind of a good 00:45:08.170 --> 00:45:10.429 happy medium. It fit perfectly with everything 00:45:10.429 --> 00:45:12.090 else that I have in there, but getting rid of 00:45:12.090 --> 00:45:14.510 that is going to give me more space to put a 00:45:14.510 --> 00:45:18.130 fire can or the perfect place for that area. 00:45:18.150 --> 00:45:20.130 Honestly, right now it'd be a diesel heater for 00:45:20.130 --> 00:45:24.179 this coming up, which. I do plan to get two coming 00:45:24.179 --> 00:45:27.539 up here. I really need to get on that because 00:45:27.539 --> 00:45:30.400 once it starts getting colder, man, it's really 00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:34.239 going to limit our season. I kind of feel like 00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:37.800 we're pretty much done now. Yeah, I mean, I want 00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:40.139 to get out. The last couple. We've still got. 00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:42.079 Oh, hey, we're supposed to talk about this on 00:45:42.079 --> 00:45:46.659 here.

It's not 00:50:05.849 --> 00:50:08.389 Independence Overland, because that's the other 00:50:08.389 --> 00:50:14.110 guy that we... Tyler. No. But there's a... Outbound 00:50:14.110 --> 00:50:18.130 Intent, I believe it is. I found him a while 00:50:18.130 --> 00:50:21.289 back. He actually had a Subaru Baja that he built 00:50:21.289 --> 00:50:24.449 out for overlanding. And when I had a Subaru 00:50:24.449 --> 00:50:26.449 Baja, I was like, dude, that's super cool. That's 00:50:26.449 --> 00:50:28.969 what I want to do. And then I find out a couple 00:50:28.969 --> 00:50:31.650 videos later that he has a fucking FJ2, so... 00:50:31.920 --> 00:50:34.420 One of the very few people that had that odd 00:50:34.420 --> 00:50:37.980 combination of a Subaru Baja and an FJ, and he 00:50:37.980 --> 00:50:43.559 was doing Overland content for his age, his profession, 00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:47.940 his video making. He's got really, really, really 00:50:47.940 --> 00:50:51.880 good narrating skills. He's got really good video 00:50:51.880 --> 00:50:56.039 and film skills. And he's got nowhere near the 00:50:56.039 --> 00:50:58.500 follower base yet, but he really deserves it. 00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:03.159 Really, really cool. I think he's based out of 00:51:03.159 --> 00:51:09.119 Maine, that area. I'm not positive, but it's 00:51:09.119 --> 00:51:12.840 cool. Also, I will come out and say I've never 00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:16.480 watched an X Overland travel video. I've only 00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:21.219 watched X Overland build videos. You should. 00:51:21.420 --> 00:51:24.519 Open your mind, buddy. I don't know, man. They 00:51:24.519 --> 00:51:29.849 are cool. I'll occasionally turn on like a, like 00:51:29.849 --> 00:51:32.090 story till now or something, but generally if 00:51:32.090 --> 00:51:34.429 I'm watching off road content, it's built videos. 00:51:35.750 --> 00:51:40.150 Yeah. Cause call me a soft rotor, whatever you 00:51:40.150 --> 00:51:42.070 want to call me, but I prefer the building part. 00:51:42.190 --> 00:51:44.829 Like the wheeling part is fun. Don't get me wrong, 00:51:44.909 --> 00:51:52.070 but building is what I really enjoy. There's 00:51:52.070 --> 00:51:55.010 another guy I really, really love and I will 00:51:55.010 --> 00:51:58.349 always put him. up there one of the most creative 00:51:58.349 --> 00:52:04.210 and funny dudes on youtube c90 adventures he 00:52:04.210 --> 00:52:09.769 is hilarious he's the guy who did uh i believe 00:52:09.769 --> 00:52:13.750 the c90 from all the way through south america 00:52:13.750 --> 00:52:17.929 um i think he did it up uh through north america 00:52:17.929 --> 00:52:24.070 and then he did a thousand miles in a mini jeep 00:52:24.539 --> 00:52:28.539 oh yeah he's upgraded upgraded and built out 00:52:28.539 --> 00:52:31.599 throughout his trip so he started out with the 00:52:31.599 --> 00:52:34.579 you know the original what 1500 mini jeep from 00:52:34.579 --> 00:52:37.599 like a tractor supply or whatever and then as 00:52:37.599 --> 00:52:41.679 he drove it um things would obviously break um 00:52:41.679 --> 00:52:44.719 and he eventually he's got it now basically the 00:52:44.719 --> 00:52:48.050 body on top of a quad He's got a radio remote 00:52:48.050 --> 00:52:50.949 controlled so that when he gets into super deep 00:52:50.949 --> 00:52:54.469 snow on mountain passes, he can walk behind his 00:52:54.469 --> 00:52:57.730 mini jeep and radio control it with a controller. 00:52:58.510 --> 00:53:01.690 And the guy's hilarious, too. Like, he's always 00:53:01.690 --> 00:53:03.849 doing something funny. He's talking to locals. 00:53:03.929 --> 00:53:07.769 He's always got people, you know, helping stuff 00:53:07.769 --> 00:53:11.789 out. I think a shifter broke one time, and he 00:53:11.789 --> 00:53:15.429 drove it in, like, second all the way into a 00:53:15.429 --> 00:53:18.820 town. and found a random mechanic to weld his 00:53:18.820 --> 00:53:22.840 shifter back on like he struggles a ton and part 00:53:22.840 --> 00:53:24.579 of that struggle is some of the entertainment 00:53:24.579 --> 00:53:27.139 man it's he went through a mud pit somewhere 00:53:27.139 --> 00:53:30.579 in like idaho or something like that just trying 00:53:30.579 --> 00:53:33.179 to get through the trail and he doesn't have 00:53:33.179 --> 00:53:37.820 like mud flaps or whatever on the side he does 00:53:37.820 --> 00:53:40.500 because his quad tires are wider than the wheel 00:53:40.500 --> 00:53:43.519 wells on the jeep So this dude, by the time he 00:53:43.519 --> 00:53:45.739 got out of that, you're watching him. He's covered 00:53:45.739 --> 00:53:48.579 in fucking mud and he's living like this, too. 00:53:48.699 --> 00:53:52.079 I mean, it's it's quality, cool stuff. He actually 00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:55.400 met, I think, the CEO of Firebox, the little 00:53:55.400 --> 00:53:59.159 the little built fireboxes that you can put together 00:53:59.159 --> 00:54:01.659 that are panels. He just so happened to meet 00:54:01.659 --> 00:54:03.699 that guy and he hooked him up with a firebox 00:54:03.699 --> 00:54:07.480 because he was making coffee. Aeropress hooked 00:54:07.480 --> 00:54:11.840 him up like just super cool guy. He's another 00:54:11.840 --> 00:54:14.059 one of those that would be like just sitting 00:54:14.059 --> 00:54:16.380 down and talking with him for a while. It would 00:54:16.380 --> 00:54:19.719 be a crazy conversation, the stuff that he's 00:54:19.719 --> 00:54:25.159 been through. I think he did like a trip across 00:54:25.159 --> 00:54:29.559 Europe with five random guys that he like put 00:54:29.559 --> 00:54:31.679 an ad out on like Craigslist kind of thing, whatever 00:54:31.679 --> 00:54:35.500 was older than Craigslist. He did like five random 00:54:35.500 --> 00:54:38.940 guys. They all met up. He charged them like a 00:54:38.940 --> 00:54:41.539 certain amount of pounds to do the tour. And 00:54:41.539 --> 00:54:45.059 then guys that have never driven a Honda C90, 00:54:45.260 --> 00:54:49.079 and they just fucking drove across Europe. It's 00:54:49.079 --> 00:54:51.179 just crazy. He's got it all well documented. 00:54:51.260 --> 00:54:53.619 It's really cool to watch. Since we're just talking 00:54:53.619 --> 00:54:57.019 about cool YouTube channels at this point, you 00:54:57.019 --> 00:55:00.340 should look up Destination Adventure.
