1
00:00:01,343 --> 00:00:02,610
So he just came
here to get that fixed?
2
00:00:02,610 --> 00:00:04,910
-We're doing collision
work now or what?
-[Bill] Well,
3
00:00:04,910 --> 00:00:06,910
since it's here.
4
00:00:06,910 --> 00:00:08,143
[Bill] This Jeep
Gladiator has had
5
00:00:08,143 --> 00:00:09,810
a lot of work
done to it.
6
00:00:09,810 --> 00:00:11,610
Definitely gotta
beef it up.
7
00:00:11,610 --> 00:00:13,610
We're gonna give it
some style that you can't
8
00:00:13,610 --> 00:00:14,710
buy out of
a catalogue.
9
00:00:16,543 --> 00:00:18,410
-That's the Karate Kid, right?
-[Dustin] Yeah.
10
00:00:18,410 --> 00:00:19,610
[Bill]
Karate Kid bumper.
11
00:00:19,610 --> 00:00:21,010
[Bill]
I love the Ranger.
We're gonna do some
12
00:00:21,010 --> 00:00:22,309
stuff to this
that nobody's
13
00:00:22,309 --> 00:00:23,443
ever even seen.
14
00:00:23,510 --> 00:00:24,743
Build a custom
15
00:00:24,810 --> 00:00:26,343
camper for
the back of this.
16
00:00:26,410 --> 00:00:27,309
[Carlos]
Whoa. Okay.
17
00:00:27,309 --> 00:00:28,309
[Bill] You gotta
make something
18
00:00:28,309 --> 00:00:30,043
for all sizes
and shapes
19
00:00:30,043 --> 00:00:30,109
for all sizes
and shapes
20
00:00:30,109 --> 00:00:31,309
but when it
comes to building
21
00:00:31,309 --> 00:00:32,443
something that's custom,
22
00:00:32,510 --> 00:00:33,743
you make it
fit to you.
23
00:00:33,810 --> 00:00:34,810
Perfect.
24
00:00:34,810 --> 00:00:36,143
Oh, my God.
25
00:00:36,209 --> 00:00:38,309
-That is badass.
-[Bill laughing]
26
00:00:38,309 --> 00:00:39,643
[Greg] Oh, my God.
27
00:00:39,710 --> 00:00:41,309
[theme music playing]
28
00:00:43,443 --> 00:00:45,143
[Bill] I'm Bill Carlton.
29
00:00:45,143 --> 00:00:47,143
I built my first truck
when I was 16
30
00:00:47,943 --> 00:00:49,243
and ever since
31
00:00:49,309 --> 00:00:50,743
me and my guys
have been out here
32
00:00:50,810 --> 00:00:52,043
creating with
our hands.
33
00:00:54,343 --> 00:00:55,610
Building
the biggest,
34
00:00:55,610 --> 00:00:57,309
lowest, baddest
35
00:00:57,309 --> 00:00:58,943
custom trucks and
cars in the game.
36
00:01:01,209 --> 00:01:03,710
People don't come
here for what they need,
37
00:01:03,710 --> 00:01:05,243
they come here
for what they want.
38
00:01:07,410 --> 00:01:10,209
This is Texas Metal.
39
00:01:12,209 --> 00:01:13,810
[engine whirring]
40
00:01:19,610 --> 00:01:21,343
Oh, man, you taking this thing
out for the weekend?
41
00:01:21,410 --> 00:01:24,610
-Yeah, man. It's a nice,
nice day today.
-Yeah.
42
00:01:24,610 --> 00:01:26,510
-It's time to go
have some fun.
-Oh, yeah.
43
00:01:26,510 --> 00:01:28,843
I bought a Polaris
Ranger not too long ago
44
00:01:28,910 --> 00:01:30,043
and the idea
is for everybody
45
00:01:30,043 --> 00:01:30,910
and the idea
is for everybody
46
00:01:30,910 --> 00:01:32,510
to able to use it,
47
00:01:32,510 --> 00:01:34,410
have fun
with it but
48
00:01:34,410 --> 00:01:36,243
riding around
stock just...
49
00:01:36,309 --> 00:01:37,243
isn't cutting it.
50
00:01:37,309 --> 00:01:39,043
[Bill] Going out
to the offroad park
51
00:01:39,043 --> 00:01:40,643
and just seeing
all the crazy
52
00:01:40,710 --> 00:01:42,209
side by sides out
there, it's just like
53
00:01:42,209 --> 00:01:43,710
custom cars
around here.
54
00:01:43,710 --> 00:01:45,209
It's a whole
'nother world.
55
00:01:45,209 --> 00:01:46,610
Man, you take
this out there,
56
00:01:46,610 --> 00:01:48,743
I mean, you have
fun but you're like,
57
00:01:48,810 --> 00:01:50,143
"Damn, look at that,
look at that cool,
58
00:01:50,209 --> 00:01:51,743
look at that cool..."
and you feel
59
00:01:51,810 --> 00:01:53,910
so, insignificant.
60
00:01:53,910 --> 00:01:56,043
-[Bill] We can't
have that man.
-Yeah, no.
61
00:01:56,109 --> 00:01:58,710
[Bill] If it's gonna
represent Ekstensive
out somewhere,
62
00:01:58,710 --> 00:02:00,043
we can't have
it stock.
63
00:02:00,043 --> 00:02:00,410
we can't have
it stock.
64
00:02:00,410 --> 00:02:02,243
-[Carlos] I knew
this was coming.
-[Bill] Yeah.
65
00:02:02,309 --> 00:02:04,943
There's a lot of stuff
I wanna do to this.
Of course
66
00:02:05,010 --> 00:02:05,910
lift it. Of course
67
00:02:05,910 --> 00:02:07,143
big wheels and tires,
68
00:02:07,209 --> 00:02:08,910
a control arms, bumpers
front and back.
69
00:02:08,910 --> 00:02:10,209
The after market
accessories
70
00:02:10,209 --> 00:02:13,043
for this is pretty
much unlimited.
71
00:02:13,109 --> 00:02:14,309
So there's a lot
of stuff that
72
00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:15,643
we don't have
to make.
73
00:02:15,643 --> 00:02:17,510
-Not gonna be hard
to find the parts for this.
-[Bill] No.
74
00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:20,410
But we're gonna do
some stuff to this that
75
00:02:20,410 --> 00:02:22,109
nobody has,
nobody sells
76
00:02:22,109 --> 00:02:23,443
and nobody has
ever even seen.
77
00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:24,943
If we're gonna do
something to it,
78
00:02:25,010 --> 00:02:26,010
we're gonna
come with it.
79
00:02:26,010 --> 00:02:27,309
[Bill]
I love the Ranger
80
00:02:27,309 --> 00:02:29,943
but it just looks
too squished and tall.
81
00:02:30,010 --> 00:02:30,043
So, one of the first
things we're gonna do
82
00:02:30,043 --> 00:02:31,910
So, one of the first
things we're gonna do
83
00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:34,810
is chop the top.
Give it the roof
line that's smooth,
84
00:02:34,810 --> 00:02:36,510
-cleaner look.
-[Carlos] Mmm-hmm.
85
00:02:36,510 --> 00:02:38,243
[Bill]
Lay the windshield
back a little bit
86
00:02:38,309 --> 00:02:39,610
and drop it down.
87
00:02:39,610 --> 00:02:42,309
But I want that roof
line to continue, so.
88
00:02:42,309 --> 00:02:43,543
I'm thinking build
89
00:02:43,543 --> 00:02:46,309
-a custom camper for
the back of this.
-[Carlos] Oof.
90
00:02:46,309 --> 00:02:47,643
-[Carlos] A camper shell?
-[Bill] Yeah.
91
00:02:47,710 --> 00:02:48,743
[Carlos]
Whoa. Okay.
92
00:02:48,810 --> 00:02:50,510
And I wanna fill
it full of subs.
93
00:02:50,510 --> 00:02:52,510
-That'll get
the attention. Oh, yeah.
-[Bill] Yeah.
94
00:02:52,510 --> 00:02:54,910
I've never
seen a UTV
95
00:02:54,910 --> 00:02:57,109
with a camper on it.
96
00:02:57,109 --> 00:02:59,243
So, I'm thinking
back to my old days
97
00:02:59,309 --> 00:03:00,043
when I use to have
a little S-10 with
98
00:03:00,043 --> 00:03:00,943
when I use to have
a little S-10 with
99
00:03:01,010 --> 00:03:02,643
the snug top on it.
100
00:03:02,710 --> 00:03:04,143
Thinking that
was pretty cool, so,
101
00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:05,843
I'm gonna build one.
102
00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:06,810
Not only that
103
00:03:06,810 --> 00:03:08,810
something I've never
ever even
104
00:03:08,810 --> 00:03:11,309
seen or heard on
a side by side.
105
00:03:12,043 --> 00:03:13,309
I want a dancing bed.
106
00:03:13,309 --> 00:03:16,810
-Oh.
-[Bill] Like, old school
mini truck dancing bed
107
00:03:16,810 --> 00:03:18,309
-on a side by side.
-[Carlos] See now,
108
00:03:18,309 --> 00:03:20,810
-we're going back to my
California roots right here.
-[Bill laughs]
109
00:03:20,810 --> 00:03:22,710
You know, way
back in history,
110
00:03:22,710 --> 00:03:25,010
back in the late
80's, early 90's
111
00:03:25,010 --> 00:03:27,143
you know, the rave
was in the mini truck scene
112
00:03:27,209 --> 00:03:29,309
was having
a dancing bed
113
00:03:29,309 --> 00:03:30,043
and if you don't
know what that is,
it is the bed of a truck
114
00:03:30,043 --> 00:03:32,843
and if you don't
know what that is,
it is the bed of a truck
115
00:03:32,910 --> 00:03:34,610
that's been cut
out and modified
116
00:03:34,610 --> 00:03:36,810
where actually
hydraulics
117
00:03:36,810 --> 00:03:38,543
actuate the bed
back and forth
118
00:03:38,610 --> 00:03:39,643
and it looks
like the bed
119
00:03:39,710 --> 00:03:41,143
is actually dancing
120
00:03:41,143 --> 00:03:42,543
on the back of
the truck.
121
00:03:42,610 --> 00:03:43,843
This is gonna
be crazy.
122
00:03:43,910 --> 00:03:45,443
-[Carlos] Yeah.
-Hey! If we gotta
do it, let's do it.
123
00:03:45,510 --> 00:03:46,443
You know, there
was a bet
124
00:03:46,510 --> 00:03:47,710
to see how long
it was gonna take
125
00:03:47,710 --> 00:03:49,043
before this thing
got taken
126
00:03:49,043 --> 00:03:50,010
to the next level.
127
00:03:50,010 --> 00:03:52,043
It didn't take
long, so.
128
00:03:52,043 --> 00:03:52,943
[Carlos]
I'mma go tell
the wife
129
00:03:53,010 --> 00:03:53,910
I won some
money now.
130
00:03:54,910 --> 00:03:56,510
-[Bill] Ha.
-[Carlos laughs]
131
00:04:06,643 --> 00:04:08,043
[Bill]
Just the past
132
00:04:08,043 --> 00:04:10,410
decade or so
the side by side world
133
00:04:10,410 --> 00:04:13,010
has just went crazy.
134
00:04:13,910 --> 00:04:15,143
People spend
more money on
135
00:04:15,143 --> 00:04:17,109
their side by side than
they do on their car.
136
00:04:17,109 --> 00:04:18,343
Everything that
137
00:04:18,410 --> 00:04:19,410
you can buy online,
138
00:04:19,410 --> 00:04:20,610
you're gonna
see out there.
139
00:04:20,610 --> 00:04:21,910
It's nothing to see
140
00:04:21,910 --> 00:04:23,710
a side by side
with $100,000
141
00:04:23,710 --> 00:04:25,309
in it, you know
it's unbelievable.
142
00:04:26,443 --> 00:04:27,543
Anytime you build
143
00:04:27,610 --> 00:04:29,710
something
that looks cool,
144
00:04:29,710 --> 00:04:30,043
it's always
good for business.
145
00:04:30,043 --> 00:04:31,743
it's always
good for business.
146
00:04:31,810 --> 00:04:33,743
We've been setting
the trend for years with
147
00:04:33,810 --> 00:04:35,309
automotive scene.
148
00:04:35,309 --> 00:04:37,610
And with the bar
set really high
149
00:04:37,610 --> 00:04:39,309
everybody already
thinks,
150
00:04:39,309 --> 00:04:40,710
"Oh, I've been there,
151
00:04:40,710 --> 00:04:42,443
done that, seen that."
152
00:04:42,510 --> 00:04:43,810
Well we're going
to prove
153
00:04:43,810 --> 00:04:45,043
that they haven't.
154
00:04:45,043 --> 00:04:46,410
We're gonna show
'em something
155
00:04:46,410 --> 00:04:47,510
that's really really cool
156
00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:48,710
and make people
think, "Dang,
157
00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:50,043
I need that."
158
00:04:50,109 --> 00:04:50,943
And they know
where to come
159
00:04:51,010 --> 00:04:51,910
when they see it.
160
00:04:51,910 --> 00:04:53,209
[dog barking]
161
00:04:55,309 --> 00:04:56,176
[dog barking]
162
00:05:04,810 --> 00:05:06,610
[Jamie] All right,
tell me it's time.
163
00:05:07,843 --> 00:05:09,109
It doesn't fit
in the parking lot,
164
00:05:09,109 --> 00:05:10,043
it's too stock.
165
00:05:12,043 --> 00:05:14,010
[Bill]
Man, riding around on
166
00:05:14,010 --> 00:05:16,943
a bone stock vehicle
167
00:05:17,010 --> 00:05:18,810
-just isn't cool.
-That ain't you, man.
168
00:05:18,810 --> 00:05:19,910
No.
169
00:05:19,910 --> 00:05:21,510
[Bill] I wanna build
something that just,
170
00:05:21,510 --> 00:05:23,943
everybody else
is like, " Damn,
171
00:05:24,010 --> 00:05:25,610
did you see that?"
172
00:05:25,610 --> 00:05:28,109
And just be talking
about it from now on.
173
00:05:28,109 --> 00:05:30,043
That's what I wanna
turn this into.
174
00:05:30,043 --> 00:05:30,243
That's what I wanna
turn this into.
175
00:05:30,309 --> 00:05:31,510
We're about to have
a whole bunch
176
00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:32,910
of parts come
in for this
177
00:05:32,910 --> 00:05:33,943
so, get ready.
178
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:35,610
[Bill] Crazy wheels
and tires,
179
00:05:35,610 --> 00:05:37,143
air suspension
and we're gonna
180
00:05:37,143 --> 00:05:38,810
of course, paint it.
181
00:05:38,810 --> 00:05:40,810
This is the only
I could get was just
182
00:05:40,810 --> 00:05:42,309
white but it
really don't matter
183
00:05:42,309 --> 00:05:44,143
-'cause something
we just gotta do it.
-[Jamie] Gotta do it.
184
00:05:45,043 --> 00:05:46,309
One of the first
things we're gonna do
185
00:05:46,309 --> 00:05:47,843
is drop the roof
line down.
186
00:05:47,910 --> 00:05:49,710
Four inches is
about borderline
187
00:05:49,710 --> 00:05:51,209
how much
we can get away with.
188
00:05:51,209 --> 00:05:52,143
So, I want you,
189
00:05:53,510 --> 00:05:55,510
to take out
the seats, seatbelts
190
00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:58,243
and the mesh doors.
191
00:05:58,309 --> 00:06:00,043
Take all that off,
so we can start
192
00:06:00,043 --> 00:06:01,109
Take all that off,
so we can start
193
00:06:01,810 --> 00:06:02,943
chopping this.
194
00:06:02,943 --> 00:06:06,543
[mimics cutting]
You can cut this
off here and here.
195
00:06:06,610 --> 00:06:08,510
[Bill] We'll make something
a little cooler for that.
196
00:06:11,243 --> 00:06:13,510
Get the doors on it.
197
00:06:13,510 --> 00:06:16,043
Levelling it all up
is gonna take a minute.
198
00:06:17,343 --> 00:06:18,810
Gonna take
the bed that off.
199
00:06:18,810 --> 00:06:20,643
Tilt it up, get
it out of the way.
200
00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:21,710
Then we gonna
start the cutting.
201
00:06:27,043 --> 00:06:29,410
We got everything
lined up, all level.
202
00:06:29,410 --> 00:06:30,043
-[Jamie] Wow.
-[Bill] Everything's straight,
we got a good foundation,
203
00:06:30,043 --> 00:06:31,710
-[Jamie] Wow.
-[Bill] Everything's straight,
we got a good foundation,
204
00:06:31,710 --> 00:06:33,109
we know when we take
this off,
205
00:06:33,109 --> 00:06:34,510
it's not going anywhere.
206
00:06:34,510 --> 00:06:37,143
-Let's pull these off.
-[Jamie] Okay.
207
00:06:37,209 --> 00:06:39,510
-[Bill] Take these over
back to the table.
-[Jamie] Okay.
208
00:06:39,510 --> 00:06:40,610
[Bill]
Clean off all the weld
209
00:06:40,610 --> 00:06:42,043
the we can slip
those pieces
210
00:06:42,043 --> 00:06:44,309
-right back down
in the tube.
-[Jamie] Nice.
211
00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:51,510
[Jamie] It's loose.
212
00:06:53,443 --> 00:06:54,743
[Bill] Got it.
213
00:06:54,810 --> 00:06:56,343
[Jamie]
Glad you cut out
the back now, huh?
214
00:07:03,610 --> 00:07:04,510
[Jamie] Come on.
215
00:07:10,010 --> 00:07:10,810
All right.
216
00:07:17,343 --> 00:07:18,710
[machine cutting]
217
00:07:18,710 --> 00:07:21,643
[Bill] Try to get
it pretty good and
then just split it.
218
00:07:21,710 --> 00:07:23,243
-[Jamie] Yeah,
and peel it off.
-[Bill] Yeah.
219
00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:26,810
[Jamie]
So me and Bill
cut this off
220
00:07:27,510 --> 00:07:28,810
and this right here
221
00:07:28,810 --> 00:07:30,043
slides into
this tube.
222
00:07:30,043 --> 00:07:30,209
slides into
this tube.
223
00:07:30,209 --> 00:07:31,810
What I'm doing
is cutting the weld off
224
00:07:31,810 --> 00:07:33,743
and then
I'mma split it.
225
00:07:33,810 --> 00:07:35,410
Then I can work
the metal back and forth
226
00:07:35,410 --> 00:07:36,443
and the weld will break.
227
00:07:39,209 --> 00:07:40,109
[Jamie] Nice.
228
00:07:40,109 --> 00:07:41,076
So, I have this bung
229
00:07:41,109 --> 00:07:44,209
right here to be able
to put right back on
230
00:07:44,209 --> 00:07:46,143
and reweld it
once we clean
the weld off of it.
231
00:07:57,343 --> 00:07:59,143
Now for the front
part, the windshield
232
00:07:59,143 --> 00:08:00,043
which we bring
it down four inches,
233
00:08:00,043 --> 00:08:00,843
which we bring
it down four inches,
234
00:08:00,910 --> 00:08:02,710
it's gonna change
the pitch slightly.
235
00:08:02,710 --> 00:08:04,610
Can't just drop
it down for this to be
236
00:08:04,610 --> 00:08:06,143
over where it needs to be.
237
00:08:06,143 --> 00:08:07,743
So that's why I'm cutting
it in two places.
238
00:08:18,209 --> 00:08:19,243
[Jamie]
That's our three pieces.
239
00:08:21,043 --> 00:08:22,309
-Get that bar.
-Yeah.
240
00:08:27,910 --> 00:08:29,143
-[Bill] Ready?
You got yours in?
-[Jamie] Yeah.
241
00:08:29,143 --> 00:08:30,043
One, two, three.
242
00:08:30,043 --> 00:08:30,410
One, two, three.
243
00:08:30,410 --> 00:08:32,510
-[Jamie] Ah.
-Put this top piece in
244
00:08:32,510 --> 00:08:33,543
and then we'll
make that fit.
245
00:08:35,143 --> 00:08:36,010
[Jamie] Do one side
at a time?
246
00:08:44,510 --> 00:08:46,043
[Jamie] Think that's
way better.
247
00:08:48,510 --> 00:08:50,143
-[Jamie] Way
better already.
-[Bill] Lot more...
248
00:08:50,209 --> 00:08:51,410
Lot better proportions.
249
00:08:55,343 --> 00:08:57,143
[Bill]
Cut a little bit
of that out.
250
00:09:13,743 --> 00:09:16,309
-[Bill] Yeah.
-[Jamie] Bit of welding.
251
00:09:17,910 --> 00:09:19,410
[Bill] I think
we're ready, man.
252
00:09:19,410 --> 00:09:21,743
I'm really happy with
how the roof looks.
253
00:09:21,810 --> 00:09:24,043
You get back
and look at it
and it looks like
254
00:09:24,043 --> 00:09:25,843
it's factory, it should've
been that way.
255
00:09:25,910 --> 00:09:27,910
You know, it looked
really tall,
256
00:09:27,910 --> 00:09:29,510
really out of
proportion before.
257
00:09:29,510 --> 00:09:30,043
[Bill]
What you understand...
258
00:09:30,043 --> 00:09:30,610
[Bill]
What you understand...
259
00:09:30,610 --> 00:09:32,510
[Jamie] Right on
the line on that side.
260
00:09:32,510 --> 00:09:35,309
[Bill] ...you gotta
make something
for all sizes and shapes
261
00:09:35,309 --> 00:09:37,443
for whoever's
behind the wheel but
262
00:09:37,510 --> 00:09:38,510
when it comes
to building
263
00:09:38,510 --> 00:09:39,543
something this custom,
264
00:09:39,610 --> 00:09:40,743
you make it
fit to you.
265
00:09:40,810 --> 00:09:41,610
Perfect.
266
00:09:42,610 --> 00:09:44,309
It's our first
custom part
267
00:09:44,309 --> 00:09:45,610
for the side by side
268
00:09:45,610 --> 00:09:47,510
and I'm always
happy with that.
269
00:09:48,610 --> 00:09:49,710
[Jamie] Hell yeah.
270
00:09:56,010 --> 00:09:57,810
[Bill] There's two
best parts of any build.
271
00:09:57,810 --> 00:10:00,309
One being the end
when it's all put together
272
00:10:01,443 --> 00:10:03,243
and the other part,
the beginning
273
00:10:03,309 --> 00:10:04,510
you know, when
you're turning that
274
00:10:04,510 --> 00:10:05,410
thought that's in
your head
275
00:10:06,010 --> 00:10:07,043
down into metal.
276
00:10:07,043 --> 00:10:08,243
And this time
that's that
277
00:10:08,309 --> 00:10:10,443
camper shell for
the 2023 Polaris.
278
00:10:12,910 --> 00:10:15,510
Now that the roof
line is all established,
279
00:10:15,510 --> 00:10:18,209
we can start on
the camper.
280
00:10:18,209 --> 00:10:20,215
[Bill]
We got chip board
up front here, so I know
281
00:10:20,215 --> 00:10:20,443
[Bill]
We got chip board
up front here, so I know
282
00:10:20,510 --> 00:10:21,710
how we're gonna
attach it
283
00:10:21,710 --> 00:10:23,410
to the front
of the bed.
284
00:10:23,410 --> 00:10:25,043
I ordered
a window online.
285
00:10:25,043 --> 00:10:26,610
I ordered it
pretty much
286
00:10:26,610 --> 00:10:29,309
to the tail gate,
so the opening lines up
287
00:10:29,309 --> 00:10:31,343
with the tail
gate itself.
288
00:10:31,410 --> 00:10:32,710
Just kinda
wanna get back,
289
00:10:32,710 --> 00:10:34,910
look, see where
the angle of the window
290
00:10:34,910 --> 00:10:37,343
needs to be in relation
to everything else.
291
00:10:37,410 --> 00:10:38,476
[Bill] Yeah,
that's a lot better.
292
00:10:38,476 --> 00:10:40,743
And then we'll see
how high the back of it
293
00:10:40,810 --> 00:10:41,743
needs to be.
294
00:10:41,810 --> 00:10:43,343
I have the front
of the camper laid out
295
00:10:43,410 --> 00:10:45,143
with the cut out
in the front of it,
296
00:10:45,143 --> 00:10:47,943
so when the bed
lifts up, you can see
297
00:10:48,010 --> 00:10:49,743
all the speakers
pointing at you.
298
00:10:51,643 --> 00:10:53,109
-[Bill] What up, man?
-[Jessie] What up?
299
00:10:54,109 --> 00:10:55,443
You know
we're building that
300
00:10:55,510 --> 00:10:57,243
camper for the back
of the side by side?
301
00:10:57,309 --> 00:10:58,810
So, we gotta
have a place
302
00:10:58,810 --> 00:11:01,043
-to put all those subs
in the back, right?
-[Jessie chuckles]
303
00:11:01,043 --> 00:11:02,643
[Bill] Here's
the measurements I took
304
00:11:02,710 --> 00:11:05,109
and this is the radius
I want for the top.
305
00:11:05,109 --> 00:11:06,010
I wanna build it all
306
00:11:06,010 --> 00:11:07,143
with eighth inch
aluminum
307
00:11:07,143 --> 00:11:09,143
and I'll bring the window
over here for you.
308
00:11:09,209 --> 00:11:10,943
[Jessie]
So, we're finally gonna
customize that thing?
309
00:11:11,010 --> 00:11:13,143
-Yeah, man it's gonna
be cool cool.
-[Jessie] Yeah.
310
00:11:13,209 --> 00:11:14,510
I think everybody's
been waiting for this.
311
00:11:14,510 --> 00:11:15,410
Yeah, we're gonna have
312
00:11:15,410 --> 00:11:16,343
a good time
with it, man.
313
00:11:16,410 --> 00:11:17,410
Yeah, we'll all
take it out and just
314
00:11:17,410 --> 00:11:19,643
-go crazy with it.
-Yeah, can't wait, man.
315
00:11:21,010 --> 00:11:22,610
So, now I'm just drawing
out the camper bit
316
00:11:22,610 --> 00:11:23,810
for the side by side
which is gonna have
317
00:11:23,810 --> 00:11:25,043
a bunch of speakers
318
00:11:25,043 --> 00:11:26,343
and there's gonna
be dancing.
319
00:11:26,410 --> 00:11:27,643
The side by side
has been here for
a while, you know?
320
00:11:27,710 --> 00:11:28,910
We go to the park,
we take it out
321
00:11:28,910 --> 00:11:30,510
but it's been stock and
when you go out there
322
00:11:30,510 --> 00:11:31,810
you'll see a bunch
of four wheelers
323
00:11:31,810 --> 00:11:33,309
all lifted, customized.
324
00:11:33,309 --> 00:11:34,243
I think this would
be fun now
325
00:11:34,309 --> 00:11:35,410
that we're gonna
customize
326
00:11:35,410 --> 00:11:36,510
the side by side
327
00:11:36,510 --> 00:11:37,410
and then you know,
represent
328
00:11:37,410 --> 00:11:38,543
you know,
the shop itself.
329
00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:42,143
Usually when
we do a build
330
00:11:42,143 --> 00:11:43,943
it's for a customer
and it goes home
with the customer,
331
00:11:44,010 --> 00:11:45,843
so you don't ever
get to see it again.
332
00:11:45,910 --> 00:11:47,109
With the side by side,
333
00:11:47,109 --> 00:11:48,043
little bit of
show it off
334
00:11:48,043 --> 00:11:49,109
and little bit
to use it ourselves
335
00:11:49,109 --> 00:11:49,943
at the mud park.
336
00:11:54,309 --> 00:11:55,143
[Jamie] Cool.
337
00:11:56,610 --> 00:11:57,643
Nice.
338
00:11:57,710 --> 00:11:58,743
[Bill] Jessie has
always did
339
00:11:58,810 --> 00:12:00,109
a great job
burning it out.
340
00:12:00,109 --> 00:12:01,510
It's exactly
what I wanted.
341
00:12:01,510 --> 00:12:02,810
So, the next
step on this
342
00:12:02,810 --> 00:12:05,243
is I'm gonna
ben a 90 over,
343
00:12:06,343 --> 00:12:07,610
and the a 90 down,
344
00:12:07,610 --> 00:12:09,710
so the front
of this has a lid
345
00:12:09,710 --> 00:12:11,710
to sit on the front
and fastened it
346
00:12:11,710 --> 00:12:12,910
to the bed itself.
347
00:12:12,910 --> 00:12:15,243
When it's up
dancing around,
348
00:12:15,309 --> 00:12:16,810
it ain't going
anywhere.
349
00:12:16,810 --> 00:12:18,710
-[Bill] Looking
real good.
-[Jamie] I like it already.
350
00:12:23,410 --> 00:12:25,543
[Jamie]
Man, taking this thing
out to the mud park
351
00:12:25,610 --> 00:12:27,209
you know, I'm really
looking forward to that.
352
00:12:27,209 --> 00:12:29,043
You see a lot of
different things there
353
00:12:29,109 --> 00:12:30,943
but you ain't
gonna see this.
354
00:12:31,610 --> 00:12:33,510
I got, yeah.
355
00:12:51,410 --> 00:12:52,209
[horn honking]
356
00:12:54,410 --> 00:12:56,010
-[door closes]
-[Greg] Hey, Bill.
357
00:12:56,010 --> 00:12:57,443
-[Bill] What's up, Greg?
-[Greg] How you doing, man?
358
00:12:57,510 --> 00:12:59,309
-Good to see ya, man.
Good to see ya.
-[Bill] Good morning.
359
00:12:59,309 --> 00:13:00,710
You know, I've known
Greg for a while,
360
00:13:00,710 --> 00:13:01,810
he's our steel guy,
361
00:13:01,810 --> 00:13:03,510
so anytime I need
any kind of steel
362
00:13:04,043 --> 00:13:05,510
that's who I call.
363
00:13:05,510 --> 00:13:07,710
[Bill] Man, your Jeep
is looking real good man.
I love the stance
364
00:13:07,710 --> 00:13:10,143
-of it man. Put
40's on it too?
-[Greg] Yeah, yeah.
365
00:13:10,143 --> 00:13:11,810
I put the 40's on it,
366
00:13:11,810 --> 00:13:14,309
chrome molly axels
regeared,
367
00:13:14,309 --> 00:13:15,943
up and lower
control arms.
368
00:13:16,010 --> 00:13:18,309
Pretty much everything
I can do that
369
00:13:18,309 --> 00:13:20,215
I can bolt on
to it I've done.
370
00:13:20,215 --> 00:13:20,309
I can bolt on
to it I've done.
371
00:13:20,309 --> 00:13:21,910
You know, I like Jeeps,
372
00:13:21,910 --> 00:13:23,443
and the Gladiator
as a truck,
373
00:13:24,243 --> 00:13:25,309
I love it man.
374
00:13:25,309 --> 00:13:26,610
I've always been
a truck guy.
375
00:13:27,209 --> 00:13:28,143
I need a truck bed.
376
00:13:28,143 --> 00:13:29,610
I actually use
my truck
377
00:13:29,610 --> 00:13:32,043
and I'm hauling stuff
and projects
378
00:13:32,109 --> 00:13:33,610
and you know, I'm going
379
00:13:33,610 --> 00:13:34,943
to mud parks
every weekend.
380
00:13:35,010 --> 00:13:36,610
I love the look
of the Gladiator.
381
00:13:36,610 --> 00:13:39,209
-[Bill] You take
it off road too.
-[Greg] I do, I do.
382
00:13:39,209 --> 00:13:40,910
I'm in the mud
parks on weekends
383
00:13:40,910 --> 00:13:42,943
selling steel and
you know, these ATV
384
00:13:43,010 --> 00:13:44,910
guys are building
the side by side
385
00:13:44,910 --> 00:13:46,610
like you build
your giant one,
386
00:13:46,610 --> 00:13:49,309
-I'd love to see
yours out there one day.
-[Bill] Yeah.
387
00:13:49,309 --> 00:13:50,215
So what are you
doing in this area, man?
388
00:13:50,215 --> 00:13:50,910
So what are you
doing in this area, man?
389
00:13:50,910 --> 00:13:52,643
I know we got plenty
of steel from you.
390
00:13:52,710 --> 00:13:54,243
I wanna show you
a little dent I got
391
00:13:54,309 --> 00:13:55,176
in the back
back there.
392
00:13:55,243 --> 00:13:57,043
-What'd you do?
-Well, I got rear ended.
393
00:13:57,109 --> 00:13:58,343
-Oh, man.
-[Greg chuckles]
394
00:13:58,410 --> 00:14:00,843
Kind of knocked my back
bumper out of whack
395
00:14:00,910 --> 00:14:03,943
and you know, bed's
a little jacked up but
396
00:14:04,010 --> 00:14:05,443
I don't think it's, uh,
397
00:14:05,443 --> 00:14:07,610
-not nothing
you can't handle. [laughs]
-Well, let's check it out.
398
00:14:09,710 --> 00:14:11,309
-Oh, man.
-[Greg chuckles]
399
00:14:11,309 --> 00:14:12,710
Yeah, you got
it a little bit.
400
00:14:12,710 --> 00:14:14,143
[Greg]
Just heartbreaking.
401
00:14:14,209 --> 00:14:16,410
Didn't have too many
scratches or dings on it
402
00:14:16,410 --> 00:14:17,810
and then all pf
a sudden here it is.
403
00:14:17,810 --> 00:14:19,910
-That's how
it is, man.
-Yeah, yeah.
404
00:14:19,910 --> 00:14:20,215
You know, of course
as soon as you get
405
00:14:20,215 --> 00:14:21,510
You know, of course
as soon as you get
406
00:14:21,510 --> 00:14:22,843
your car looking right,
407
00:14:22,910 --> 00:14:23,843
you're feeling good,
408
00:14:23,843 --> 00:14:25,910
driving around, you know
it's looking good,
409
00:14:27,209 --> 00:14:28,643
it crash right
into you.
410
00:14:28,710 --> 00:14:30,209
Man, Greg
it is twisted up
411
00:14:30,209 --> 00:14:32,309
a little bit, huh? It looks
like the whole bed's
412
00:14:32,309 --> 00:14:34,143
racked a little bit too.
I mean the damage
413
00:14:34,209 --> 00:14:35,510
isn't that bad
but looks like it...
414
00:14:35,510 --> 00:14:36,510
[birds chirping]
415
00:14:36,510 --> 00:14:38,309
-It's out of square.
-Mmm-hmm.
416
00:14:38,309 --> 00:14:40,010
[Bill]
You know, the bed's
side wrinkled up.
417
00:14:40,010 --> 00:14:42,209
It'd be best to just
go ahead and throw
a new bed on it.
418
00:14:42,209 --> 00:14:45,343
-I like that.
-[Bill] You know,
the good thing about
419
00:14:45,410 --> 00:14:47,309
getting rear ended
something like this
420
00:14:47,309 --> 00:14:49,043
is you don't have
421
00:14:49,109 --> 00:14:50,010
to go back
with that
422
00:14:50,010 --> 00:14:50,215
factory plastic bumper.
423
00:14:50,215 --> 00:14:51,643
factory plastic bumper.
424
00:14:51,710 --> 00:14:52,710
[Bill]
Since you're here,
425
00:14:52,710 --> 00:14:55,309
it's time to maybe
get a little custom.
426
00:14:56,309 --> 00:14:57,610
Let's just upgrade
a little bit.
427
00:14:57,610 --> 00:15:00,510
Let's go with the...
A cool, sleek looking
428
00:15:01,143 --> 00:15:02,910
all metal
bumper where
429
00:15:02,910 --> 00:15:04,343
it's gonna give
you little bit more
430
00:15:04,410 --> 00:15:06,543
-protection than
that plastic.
-I think
431
00:15:06,610 --> 00:15:08,943
that's a great idea.
If I get rear ended again
432
00:15:09,010 --> 00:15:10,710
I'd rather have
them bounce off
433
00:15:10,710 --> 00:15:12,610
-than smash
my truck again.
-Right. Exactly.
434
00:15:12,610 --> 00:15:15,209
I noticed you
pulling in too that
435
00:15:15,209 --> 00:15:17,843
the six inch lift
on here with the 40's
436
00:15:17,910 --> 00:15:19,443
you know, has
the factory 4-link on it
437
00:15:19,510 --> 00:15:20,215
but once you lift
it that high
438
00:15:20,215 --> 00:15:21,243
but once you lift
it that high
439
00:15:21,309 --> 00:15:23,510
or you're pivoting
on the 4-link mount,
440
00:15:23,510 --> 00:15:25,510
so it scoots
that wheel way
441
00:15:25,510 --> 00:15:27,043
-far forward in
the fender well.
-[Greg] I see
442
00:15:27,109 --> 00:15:30,410
-it every time
I look at it.
-Yeah, for sure, man.
443
00:15:30,410 --> 00:15:32,610
[Bill] We could build
a new 4-link bars,
444
00:15:32,610 --> 00:15:34,710
scoot the wheel back
and center it back up
445
00:15:34,710 --> 00:15:36,209
in the fender
well again.
446
00:15:36,209 --> 00:15:38,943
-That'd be
a huge improvement.
-[Greg] I like it, I like it.
447
00:15:39,010 --> 00:15:40,410
[Bill]
I noticed that
front bumper too.
448
00:15:40,410 --> 00:15:42,410
Looks like a big
old moustache up
there, doesn't it?
449
00:15:42,410 --> 00:15:43,810
-Let's go
check it out.
-[Greg laughs]
450
00:15:46,510 --> 00:15:48,343
-[Bill] That looks mean
coming at you, man.
-[Greg] You know,
451
00:15:48,410 --> 00:15:49,710
I put a steel one
on the front,
452
00:15:49,710 --> 00:15:50,215
I bought a big
wide heavy one
453
00:15:50,215 --> 00:15:51,309
I bought a big
wide heavy one
454
00:15:51,309 --> 00:15:53,109
put it on there
because I figured
455
00:15:53,109 --> 00:15:54,743
if there was gonna
be any impacts
456
00:15:54,810 --> 00:15:57,143
done it'd be by
me in the front.
457
00:15:57,143 --> 00:15:59,510
-[Bill] Right. [laughing]
-[Greg] I wasn't thinking
about the back.
458
00:15:59,510 --> 00:16:01,143
There's a couple
things we could do
459
00:16:01,143 --> 00:16:02,943
-to it to make it
a little cooler.
-Oh, yeah?
460
00:16:03,010 --> 00:16:04,810
Yeah.
461
00:16:04,810 --> 00:16:06,010
[Bill]
We could give
you a little bit more
462
00:16:06,010 --> 00:16:07,610
clearance of
the wheels.
463
00:16:07,610 --> 00:16:08,743
You know, when
you're turning
464
00:16:08,810 --> 00:16:09,943
climbing up and down...
465
00:16:10,010 --> 00:16:11,510
-Oh, yeah.
-[Bill] ...you know, we can
466
00:16:11,510 --> 00:16:13,443
make it look
a little cooler,
467
00:16:13,510 --> 00:16:15,143
give you a little
bit more room
468
00:16:15,209 --> 00:16:16,843
and make it custom
at the same time.
469
00:16:16,910 --> 00:16:18,410
I love your
thinking, Bill.
470
00:16:18,410 --> 00:16:20,215
-Them big old 40 inch
tires need a little room.
-[Bill] Yeah, right?
471
00:16:20,215 --> 00:16:21,209
-Them big old 40 inch
tires need a little room.
-[Bill] Yeah, right?
472
00:16:21,209 --> 00:16:24,309
And then, you know
looks like we could
probably get this whole
473
00:16:24,309 --> 00:16:25,610
chunk of metal
out of the way.
474
00:16:25,610 --> 00:16:28,043
[Bill]
Let's make your
truck one of one,
475
00:16:28,043 --> 00:16:30,710
you know just by
modifying what's here.
476
00:16:30,710 --> 00:16:32,943
Make this bumper
look even meaner.
477
00:16:33,010 --> 00:16:34,209
I think it looked
pretty mean
478
00:16:34,209 --> 00:16:35,410
coming at you
after that.
479
00:16:35,410 --> 00:16:37,243
That'll really set
off the front of it.
480
00:16:37,309 --> 00:16:38,510
It looks real
good but
481
00:16:38,510 --> 00:16:40,443
-we'll make it
look even better.
-I'm excited.
482
00:16:48,209 --> 00:16:49,510
[Bill] You know,
you can't go anywhere
483
00:16:49,510 --> 00:16:50,215
on the road without
seeing a Jeep
484
00:16:50,215 --> 00:16:51,043
on the road without
seeing a Jeep
485
00:16:51,710 --> 00:16:53,309
and there's a lot
of people
486
00:16:53,309 --> 00:16:56,710
trying to set
their Jeep apart
from everyone else's
487
00:16:56,710 --> 00:16:58,810
with everything
you can buy online.
488
00:16:58,810 --> 00:17:01,543
But when a Jeep
like that comes into
this property,
489
00:17:01,610 --> 00:17:02,910
we're gonna get
our hands on it
490
00:17:02,910 --> 00:17:04,610
and just give it
some style that
491
00:17:04,610 --> 00:17:07,043
you can't buy out
of a catalogue.
492
00:17:07,109 --> 00:17:08,643
This Jeep Gladiator
has had a lot
493
00:17:08,710 --> 00:17:11,043
of work done to it
but not really a lot
494
00:17:11,043 --> 00:17:12,710
of custom work
done to it,
495
00:17:12,710 --> 00:17:14,543
so we're gonna
get our hands in it,
496
00:17:14,610 --> 00:17:15,710
we're gonna get
him hooked up,
497
00:17:15,710 --> 00:17:17,143
then we're gonna put
498
00:17:17,209 --> 00:17:18,710
some custom
touches on it,
499
00:17:18,710 --> 00:17:20,143
some extensive custom
500
00:17:20,209 --> 00:17:20,215
touches from
front to back.
501
00:17:20,215 --> 00:17:22,010
touches from
front to back.
502
00:17:22,010 --> 00:17:23,543
And that way
when he's on
503
00:17:23,610 --> 00:17:24,710
the road there
won't be
504
00:17:24,710 --> 00:17:25,610
another one like it.
505
00:17:45,643 --> 00:17:48,143
[Patrick] Man, Ryan,
look at this dude.
506
00:17:48,143 --> 00:17:49,443
This is kind of rough.
507
00:17:49,510 --> 00:17:51,109
-I'm glad it's your
job and not mine.
-[Patrick laughs]
508
00:17:52,910 --> 00:17:54,143
-[Ryan] Sir.
-[Patrick] What's up bud?
509
00:17:55,510 --> 00:17:57,410
Well, got a little
problem right here.
510
00:17:57,410 --> 00:17:57,714
[Patrick] Yeah,
we can see.
511
00:17:57,714 --> 00:17:58,743
[Patrick] Yeah,
we can see.
512
00:17:58,810 --> 00:17:59,843
It's never good
when a vehicle
513
00:17:59,910 --> 00:18:01,043
gets into an accident
514
00:18:01,043 --> 00:18:02,443
but in this instance
515
00:18:02,510 --> 00:18:03,910
it gives us
the opportunity
516
00:18:03,910 --> 00:18:06,510
to wake the 22 Jeep
Gladiator, all the way up.
517
00:18:06,510 --> 00:18:09,043
[Bill] Well, that's
what he originally
brought it in for
518
00:18:09,043 --> 00:18:11,143
but this is our buddy's
you know, Greg
519
00:18:11,143 --> 00:18:12,543
who delivers
our steel.
520
00:18:12,543 --> 00:18:13,910
-[Patrick] Right.
-[Bill] This is
his personal truck,
521
00:18:13,910 --> 00:18:15,209
so we gotta
get him hooked
522
00:18:15,209 --> 00:18:16,910
-up, you know
what I mean?
-[Patrick] Yeah.
523
00:18:16,910 --> 00:18:18,843
-[Patrick] Oh, yeah.
-[Bill] So, you know,
it isn't just this
524
00:18:18,910 --> 00:18:19,843
little damage
right here.
525
00:18:19,910 --> 00:18:20,810
If you really
start to look
526
00:18:20,810 --> 00:18:22,043
at it, Pat, the whole
527
00:18:22,910 --> 00:18:24,309
bed side is wrinkled.
528
00:18:24,309 --> 00:18:26,910
-[Patrick] Yeah.
-[Bill] The wrinkle's in
the bed floor itself, so.
529
00:18:28,043 --> 00:18:29,109
Gotcha.
530
00:18:29,109 --> 00:18:30,843
So, we're probably
talking about
531
00:18:30,910 --> 00:18:31,743
replacing the whole bed.
532
00:18:32,543 --> 00:18:33,543
-[Bill] Exactly.
-Yeah. Yeah.
533
00:18:33,543 --> 00:18:35,910
[Bill] Pull this off.
Let's find a new bed,
534
00:18:35,910 --> 00:18:37,910
spray it and bolt
it right back on.
535
00:18:37,910 --> 00:18:39,243
No body work.
536
00:18:39,309 --> 00:18:40,910
-[Ryan] Yeah,
that's a no brainer.
-[Bill] Yeah.
537
00:18:40,910 --> 00:18:42,810
In case this
ever happens again,
538
00:18:42,810 --> 00:18:44,610
we'll put a bumper
on it that's
539
00:18:44,610 --> 00:18:46,710
-a little more
substantial than this...
-[Ryan chuckles]
540
00:18:46,710 --> 00:18:49,309
-...plastic right?
-[Ryan] So, he just came
here to get that fixed?
541
00:18:49,309 --> 00:18:51,910
-We're doing collision
work now or what?
-[Bill] Well,
542
00:18:52,543 --> 00:18:54,143
since it's here.
543
00:18:55,610 --> 00:18:57,309
Yeah.
544
00:18:57,309 --> 00:18:57,714
[Bill] I think it looks
great man. It's got
a good stance to it,
545
00:18:57,714 --> 00:18:59,643
[Bill] I think it looks
great man. It's got
a good stance to it,
546
00:18:59,710 --> 00:19:01,710
-the wheels and tires
look good on it, you know?
-[Ryan] Mmm-hmm.
547
00:19:01,710 --> 00:19:02,810
[Bill]
He's bought
everything
548
00:19:02,810 --> 00:19:04,343
he could possibly
buy on the internet
549
00:19:04,410 --> 00:19:06,743
-and bolted it on.
-[Ryan] Yeah, he got
a bunch of add ons on.
550
00:19:06,810 --> 00:19:07,943
[Bill]
But, you know, we need
551
00:19:08,010 --> 00:19:09,410
to raise the front
up a little bit more
552
00:19:09,410 --> 00:19:11,043
for him to get
a little more level,
553
00:19:11,043 --> 00:19:12,643
look a little better.
It's a little low
554
00:19:12,710 --> 00:19:14,043
-on the front.
-[Ryan] Yeah,
yeah for sure.
555
00:19:14,043 --> 00:19:17,043
[Bill] And the lip
that he has on there,
556
00:19:17,043 --> 00:19:19,309
you know the art
of the factory 4-link
557
00:19:19,309 --> 00:19:21,843
has brough the wheel
bas closer together.
558
00:19:21,910 --> 00:19:23,510
So, the wheel's
not center...
559
00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:24,810
-[Ryan] Yeah.
-[Bill] ...in the fender well.
560
00:19:24,810 --> 00:19:26,710
So, we're just gonna
make a new 4-link.
561
00:19:28,343 --> 00:19:30,910
Well, Pat you get
a couple guys from
the body shop
562
00:19:30,910 --> 00:19:32,510
go ahead and
remove the bumper,
563
00:19:32,510 --> 00:19:33,910
remove the bed
564
00:19:33,910 --> 00:19:36,343
then we can start
on the... the 4-link.
565
00:19:36,410 --> 00:19:37,309
-[Bill] Let's do it.
-[Patrick] All right.
566
00:19:46,343 --> 00:19:47,309
We're gonna put
567
00:19:47,309 --> 00:19:49,043
a more beefier
bumper on it.
568
00:19:53,309 --> 00:19:55,910
[Patrick]
First, we're gonna
get the tail gate off,
569
00:19:55,910 --> 00:19:57,714
tail lights, everything
dismantle.
570
00:19:57,714 --> 00:19:58,309
tail lights, everything
dismantle.
571
00:19:58,309 --> 00:19:59,510
We're gonna start
with the bumper.
572
00:20:00,643 --> 00:20:01,810
Basically we're gonna
get into it,
573
00:20:01,810 --> 00:20:03,510
see where... where
it goes from there.
574
00:20:09,610 --> 00:20:12,143
I think we got, uh,
everything detached
575
00:20:12,209 --> 00:20:14,510
and I believe we are
ready to get it off.
576
00:20:36,309 --> 00:20:38,843
[Ryan] Rinky-dink links.
577
00:20:38,910 --> 00:20:40,243
[Bill] When the Jeep
was lifted up
578
00:20:40,309 --> 00:20:41,143
into where it's at now,
579
00:20:41,209 --> 00:20:42,443
the axle moved forward,
580
00:20:42,510 --> 00:20:44,610
it followed that plane
the factory 4-link.
581
00:20:44,610 --> 00:20:46,743
Scooted the wheels
all the way forward.
582
00:20:46,810 --> 00:20:48,843
So, we're gonna replace
the factory 4-link
583
00:20:48,910 --> 00:20:50,010
with some longer ones
584
00:20:50,010 --> 00:20:51,910
that Ryan and
Arthur are gonna make.
585
00:20:53,510 --> 00:20:56,743
Since the wheel is not
centered in the wheel
well of the bed,
586
00:20:56,810 --> 00:20:57,714
we already have
587
00:20:57,714 --> 00:20:58,010
we already have
588
00:20:58,010 --> 00:20:59,510
our brackets and
everything there.
589
00:20:59,510 --> 00:21:01,510
So instead of
remaking everything
590
00:21:01,510 --> 00:21:02,743
all we're gonna
do is make
591
00:21:02,810 --> 00:21:04,410
four adjustable arms
592
00:21:04,410 --> 00:21:05,710
that can adjust out
593
00:21:05,710 --> 00:21:07,209
whatever we want
it to be.
594
00:21:09,209 --> 00:21:10,143
Definitely gotta
beef it up.
595
00:21:13,209 --> 00:21:14,209
So, now that
we got the links
596
00:21:14,209 --> 00:21:15,143
off of the truck,
597
00:21:16,043 --> 00:21:17,109
we got a little
piece of scrap metal,
598
00:21:17,109 --> 00:21:18,343
kind of cleaned
it up a little bit.
599
00:21:18,410 --> 00:21:20,043
Got these
tabs here.
600
00:21:20,109 --> 00:21:24,043
And this is going to be
our jig for our links.
601
00:21:24,109 --> 00:21:27,510
That way we can,
put this here. Bolt it up.
602
00:21:27,510 --> 00:21:27,714
Just as if you're
throwing it on the truck.
603
00:21:27,714 --> 00:21:29,710
Just as if you're
throwing it on the truck.
604
00:21:29,710 --> 00:21:31,510
[Ryan] And then, we can
tack these here.
605
00:21:31,510 --> 00:21:34,209
Once we get those tacked in,
we can bust this apart.
606
00:21:34,209 --> 00:21:37,109
And we'll just use this same
exact tabs here on this side.
607
00:21:37,109 --> 00:21:39,910
And then we'll just
add tabs here,
for this guy right here.
608
00:21:39,910 --> 00:21:42,043
That way we're not using
two different pieces of metal.
609
00:21:42,109 --> 00:21:43,710
And it's all consolidated.
610
00:21:49,243 --> 00:21:51,143
[Arthur]
And voila. We now...
611
00:21:52,710 --> 00:21:56,209
have a jig made,
for both sizes...
612
00:21:58,410 --> 00:22:02,143
of the 4-links
that we're about to make,
made the fit...
613
00:22:04,810 --> 00:22:07,309
on each one.
614
00:22:07,309 --> 00:22:10,610
Just run a bolt
through it and it's gonna
slide in perfectly.
615
00:22:12,510 --> 00:22:14,109
Is that a lift hand?
616
00:22:16,743 --> 00:22:20,643
Having the double
adjustment here with the left
and the right hand himes,
617
00:22:20,710 --> 00:22:23,143
we can turn this pipe
once it's weld together.
618
00:22:23,143 --> 00:22:26,109
And it can grow.
And we can get
the rear end aligned
619
00:22:26,109 --> 00:22:27,276
with the center
of the wheel well.
620
00:22:27,309 --> 00:22:27,714
[Ryan] So we got
the measurements for the DOM.
621
00:22:27,714 --> 00:22:29,443
[Ryan] So we got
the measurements for the DOM.
622
00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:31,810
And, we can get Arthur
to cut that stuff.
623
00:22:31,810 --> 00:22:33,243
We'll get it over here,
get it tacked in.
624
00:22:39,710 --> 00:22:43,309
All right. I just got done
cutting the first piece
for the 4-link
625
00:22:43,309 --> 00:22:45,510
that we're making
on this Jeep.
626
00:22:45,510 --> 00:22:47,910
It is a inch and a half in ID,
627
00:22:47,910 --> 00:22:50,109
with a quarter
inch thick wall.
628
00:22:51,043 --> 00:22:52,510
Just look at this thing.
629
00:22:52,510 --> 00:22:55,443
It's a lot thicker,
super stronger.
630
00:22:55,510 --> 00:22:57,714
Take more of a beating
than the part
that's on there right now.
631
00:22:57,714 --> 00:22:59,209
Take more of a beating
than the part
that's on there right now.
632
00:22:59,209 --> 00:23:02,410
[Arthur] Now that I got
my new 4-links made,
633
00:23:02,410 --> 00:23:04,543
I'm gonna go clean them up.
634
00:23:04,610 --> 00:23:06,510
And make them look
nice and shiny.
635
00:23:10,810 --> 00:23:13,343
[Ryan] So as you can see,
got our himes in.
636
00:23:13,410 --> 00:23:16,010
Got our DOM cut.
It's all in place.
637
00:23:16,010 --> 00:23:17,810
It's tight, doesn't move.
638
00:23:17,810 --> 00:23:20,643
[Ryan] It's levelled
with the two by three
right here.
639
00:23:20,710 --> 00:23:23,143
So, I'm gonna put some little
small tacks on there.
640
00:23:26,043 --> 00:23:27,714
All right. Now I got
all of them tacked.
641
00:23:27,714 --> 00:23:28,710
All right. Now I got
all of them tacked.
642
00:23:28,710 --> 00:23:30,710
They're all fit together.
Everything looks good.
643
00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:32,710
We'll leave
this one in the jig.
We can weld it out.
644
00:23:32,710 --> 00:23:34,943
We'll weld all
the rest of them.
645
00:23:35,010 --> 00:23:36,677
Send 'em off.
Get 'em powder coated.
646
00:23:56,543 --> 00:24:00,410
[Bill] Front end
on the 2022 Jeep Gladiator
just wasn't looking right.
647
00:24:00,410 --> 00:24:03,143
It was a little bit lower
in the front
and higher in the back.
648
00:24:03,209 --> 00:24:04,810
So, we're gonna make it level.
649
00:24:04,810 --> 00:24:08,043
And put some pucks in.
And raise that front up,
just a little bit.
650
00:24:09,410 --> 00:24:11,209
[Ryan] You know,
it's not gonna be too bad,
651
00:24:11,209 --> 00:24:14,043
once you bolt the shocks
into the sway bar.
652
00:24:14,109 --> 00:24:16,710
-All that will
drop far enough.
-[Dustin] Okay.
653
00:24:16,710 --> 00:24:18,243
[Ryan] Oh, I don't know
about that one.
654
00:24:18,243 --> 00:24:19,762
-Probably gonna max out
on the drag link.
-Yeah, on the drag link, yeah.
655
00:24:19,762 --> 00:24:20,943
-Probably gonna max out
on the drag link.
-Yeah, on the drag link, yeah.
656
00:24:25,209 --> 00:24:27,043
[man] Wow. So that's...
that's tight.
657
00:24:27,943 --> 00:24:31,410
So in order to get
our spaces up in here,
658
00:24:31,410 --> 00:24:35,043
we need to take
the shock out,
the sway bar,
659
00:24:35,109 --> 00:24:38,410
and then it'll
allow all this to drop
a little bit further.
660
00:24:38,410 --> 00:24:42,543
So, we're able to access this
little pocket up in here.
661
00:24:42,610 --> 00:24:44,410
-Check it up and see
what happens, yo.
-Yes.
662
00:24:46,209 --> 00:24:47,743
-All right.
-Man.
663
00:24:52,010 --> 00:24:55,143
[Ryan] Feels like it just
stuck right there,
like it wants to come up.
664
00:24:57,910 --> 00:25:00,143
-[Ryan] No.
-You wanna put spring
compressors on it?
665
00:25:00,143 --> 00:25:02,743
-[Ryan] Yeah.
-There's some in that drawer
right there. We can get them.
666
00:25:04,910 --> 00:25:08,710
[Ryan] We got it all
busted apart, and...
raised all the way up.
667
00:25:08,710 --> 00:25:10,209
And this is still
coming up with the truck.
668
00:25:10,209 --> 00:25:13,043
So, we're gonna have to use
these spring compressors
669
00:25:13,109 --> 00:25:15,043
and pull this spring
down a little bit.
670
00:25:15,109 --> 00:25:17,510
Further that way, we're
able to get it out
of the pocket up here.
671
00:25:19,309 --> 00:25:19,762
Why are you so scared
of that thing?
672
00:25:19,762 --> 00:25:20,543
Why are you so scared
of that thing?
673
00:25:20,610 --> 00:25:22,910
Uh, 'cause it's like
a time bomb.
674
00:25:22,910 --> 00:25:24,143
Like a ticking one.
675
00:25:24,143 --> 00:25:25,943
[Ryan] Nah, man.
It ain't going nowhere.
676
00:25:26,010 --> 00:25:29,309
It's wedged in there.
So much pressure on.
There's no way you can...
677
00:25:29,309 --> 00:25:31,810
You can hit that
with a hammer right now.
678
00:25:31,810 --> 00:25:33,410
[Dustin] I'm gonna
let you do that.
679
00:25:33,410 --> 00:25:35,410
-[Ryan] I'll do it.
-[chuckles] I'll do it.
680
00:25:40,309 --> 00:25:41,143
[Ryan] Uh-huh.
681
00:25:43,643 --> 00:25:44,810
[Dustin] Rubber isolator.
682
00:25:44,810 --> 00:25:47,810
[Ryan] Our rubber isolator
is gonna stay on the spring.
683
00:25:48,843 --> 00:25:49,762
Like so.
684
00:25:49,762 --> 00:25:50,209
Like so.
685
00:25:50,209 --> 00:25:53,043
Then we got one our
inch spacer here.
686
00:25:54,410 --> 00:25:56,043
And then our half inch.
687
00:25:56,043 --> 00:25:59,143
Which makes,
an inch and a half.
688
00:25:59,143 --> 00:26:00,443
[Dustin] Boom.
689
00:26:00,443 --> 00:26:03,010
We got one and half.
Inch and a half,
put them together.
690
00:26:03,010 --> 00:26:04,943
It's science.
691
00:26:05,010 --> 00:26:07,309
-[Dustin struggling] Yeah.
-[Ryan] All right.
692
00:26:07,309 --> 00:26:09,410
-[Ryan] Right on, right on.
-[Dustin] Right on.
693
00:26:13,810 --> 00:26:15,043
[Bill] You gonna help me
pull this bumper
off real quick?
694
00:26:15,109 --> 00:26:16,777
[man] Yeah, let's snatch it.
695
00:26:16,777 --> 00:26:19,762
Originally I thought we were
just gonna customize
the front bumper on the Jeep.
696
00:26:19,762 --> 00:26:19,910
Originally I thought we were
just gonna customize
the front bumper on the Jeep.
697
00:26:19,910 --> 00:26:23,010
But the more I look at it,
it's too ugly to save.
698
00:26:23,543 --> 00:26:24,810
-[man sighs]
-Come on.
699
00:26:24,810 --> 00:26:27,910
[Bill] There's no flowing
lines on it, whatsoever. So...
700
00:26:27,910 --> 00:26:29,810
-Bingo.
-[Bill] I just wanna
scrap the old bumper.
701
00:26:29,810 --> 00:26:33,810
And I wanna build something
that looks a little more mean.
702
00:26:33,810 --> 00:26:37,010
But still a little more
free flowing also.
703
00:26:37,010 --> 00:26:38,510
We're gonna cut off the frame,
704
00:26:38,510 --> 00:26:40,910
so I'm gonna scoot it back
far as we can.
705
00:26:40,910 --> 00:26:44,443
Weld a quarter inch plate,
all the way against
the front of the frame.
706
00:26:44,510 --> 00:26:46,810
Something that we can
bolt the winch to.
707
00:26:47,943 --> 00:26:49,762
And to be able to bolt
the bumper to, as well.
708
00:26:49,762 --> 00:26:50,743
And to be able to bolt
the bumper to, as well.
709
00:26:50,810 --> 00:26:53,910
Now I can get some
chipboard and kinda
see what we got.
710
00:26:53,910 --> 00:26:56,243
And once that's established,
we can bend some
eighth inch plate.
711
00:26:57,143 --> 00:26:58,510
And we go from there.
712
00:27:10,010 --> 00:27:11,710
[Dustin] That'll work.
713
00:27:11,710 --> 00:27:13,810
-That's about it, huh?
-Now we just gotta figure out
how to make that look good.
714
00:27:20,410 --> 00:27:23,243
You know, I kind of got
an idea how I want
the bumper to look.
715
00:27:23,309 --> 00:27:26,610
But, just kind of, making
a quick little template
out of chipboard.
716
00:27:27,643 --> 00:27:29,510
Then when you
get it just right,
717
00:27:29,510 --> 00:27:31,243
transfer it over to metal.
718
00:27:31,309 --> 00:27:32,443
And then you can
build the puzzle.
719
00:27:34,910 --> 00:27:36,910
[Bill] You know,
we chopped the light down,
720
00:27:36,910 --> 00:27:38,410
to give in a little
more room here.
721
00:27:38,410 --> 00:27:41,043
But, it just looks
too empty, too open.
722
00:27:41,109 --> 00:27:44,043
So, we're gonna get a little
bit farther behind schedule.
723
00:27:44,043 --> 00:27:45,810
And make it cool
at the same time.
724
00:27:45,810 --> 00:27:49,762
I wanna build the bumper
all the way up to
the bottom side of the light.
725
00:27:49,762 --> 00:27:50,443
I wanna build the bumper
all the way up to
the bottom side of the light.
726
00:27:50,510 --> 00:27:52,343
[Bill] But still give him
a lot of ground clearance.
727
00:27:54,810 --> 00:27:55,910
Cut that
all the way off there.
728
00:27:56,910 --> 00:27:58,710
-Cut it off real, real quick.
-All right.
729
00:28:07,343 --> 00:28:11,510
And the only way to build
something like this,
is to the vehicle.
730
00:28:11,510 --> 00:28:14,843
[Bill] This way you
can see what's up,
what the next piece is.
731
00:28:14,910 --> 00:28:19,143
I mean this is just the most
efficient, easiest, best way
to do something like this.
732
00:28:28,209 --> 00:28:30,510
-Quick little spin.
-All right.
733
00:28:36,910 --> 00:28:38,743
-That's good.
-The top pretty good, huh?
734
00:28:38,810 --> 00:28:39,610
[Bill] Close enough.
735
00:28:41,943 --> 00:28:43,243
[Dustin]
That's what we need, man.
736
00:28:43,309 --> 00:28:46,209
We'll get this part set,
cut, tacked in.
737
00:28:46,209 --> 00:28:47,343
Get it caught up on that side.
738
00:28:53,109 --> 00:28:54,209
Yeah, that's the Karate Kid.
739
00:28:54,209 --> 00:28:55,910
[Dustin] Yeah, there you go.
740
00:28:55,910 --> 00:28:57,010
-Karate Kid.
-Karate Kid bumper.
741
00:28:59,710 --> 00:29:02,410
When you have a gap
that you're trying to fill in,
742
00:29:02,410 --> 00:29:04,610
you know, sometimes,
these are gonna wire feed.
743
00:29:04,610 --> 00:29:06,209
You hit the trigger
744
00:29:06,209 --> 00:29:09,309
and the wire goes
past beyond the metal
that you're working with.
745
00:29:10,443 --> 00:29:12,910
A cool little trick
is putting copper behind it.
746
00:29:12,910 --> 00:29:15,043
You can weld that gap
all the way up.
747
00:29:15,043 --> 00:29:16,910
And just break
the copper right off.
748
00:29:16,910 --> 00:29:19,343
And it keeps everything
right where you
want it to be.
749
00:29:36,943 --> 00:29:39,410
[Bill] We got the size
and shape for the camper
all established
750
00:29:39,410 --> 00:29:41,510
on the 2023 Polaris Ranger.
751
00:29:41,510 --> 00:29:43,109
We got our front.
We got our back.
752
00:29:44,410 --> 00:29:45,543
We got the slope.
753
00:29:45,610 --> 00:29:49,043
So, I got the measurements
for the roof.
754
00:29:49,043 --> 00:29:49,762
Next step,
we're gonna bend it.
755
00:29:49,762 --> 00:29:51,209
Next step,
we're gonna bend it.
756
00:29:58,243 --> 00:30:00,410
Pretty cool to get to see
the roof about to go on here.
757
00:30:02,543 --> 00:30:04,843
I mean, it's definitely
a critical stage
758
00:30:04,910 --> 00:30:06,910
to make everything nice
and square and straight,
759
00:30:06,910 --> 00:30:10,243
so we don't have
a lot of problems later.
760
00:30:10,309 --> 00:30:11,643
We're gonna
Tek screw everything
761
00:30:11,710 --> 00:30:15,410
just so we know everything
lines up nice and right.
762
00:30:15,410 --> 00:30:18,309
We definitely don't wanna...
to look like
it's already been...
763
00:30:19,343 --> 00:30:19,762
tipped over.
764
00:30:19,762 --> 00:30:20,309
tipped over.
765
00:30:21,309 --> 00:30:22,376
We're gonna make sure
it's all straight.
766
00:30:23,510 --> 00:30:25,610
We gotta make sure
everything is on point.
767
00:30:25,610 --> 00:30:29,209
Everything is square.
Everything is lined up
perfectly.
768
00:30:31,243 --> 00:30:35,710
I think the next thing
we'll do is shape
the corners here.
769
00:30:35,710 --> 00:30:38,510
Little compound
curve right here.
770
00:30:38,510 --> 00:30:40,143
That little compound curve
is probably gonna be
771
00:30:40,209 --> 00:30:43,109
the hardest part
of all of this.
772
00:30:43,109 --> 00:30:45,209
So what we're gonna do is,
just cut out a piece.
773
00:30:45,209 --> 00:30:47,010
So we can make a radius.
774
00:30:51,143 --> 00:30:53,243
I marked the bends out
on this piece of chipboard.
775
00:30:53,309 --> 00:30:56,209
So now I'm gonna transfer
those measurements
over to my metal,
776
00:30:56,209 --> 00:30:57,410
by rounding the template.
777
00:30:59,043 --> 00:31:00,610
-Fit?
-Ah, I'm right on the line.
778
00:31:03,610 --> 00:31:04,443
[Bill] We can go a little bit
more there.
779
00:31:10,010 --> 00:31:11,410
[machine whirring]
780
00:31:16,343 --> 00:31:17,510
[Bill] Actually, pretty good.
781
00:31:28,610 --> 00:31:30,643
Oh, it's looking real...
real good.
782
00:31:30,710 --> 00:31:34,610
You know, this fits
the radius of the cage itself.
783
00:31:34,610 --> 00:31:37,243
And that's what I wanted,
a little slope down
in the back.
784
00:31:37,309 --> 00:31:38,943
Wanted to give it
a little more style to it.
785
00:31:39,010 --> 00:31:42,410
So, we got a nice, perfect
little seam here to weld.
786
00:31:42,410 --> 00:31:44,043
'Cause we need
it super strong, man.
787
00:31:44,109 --> 00:31:46,309
'Cause there's gonna
be a lot of bass inside here.
788
00:31:46,309 --> 00:31:48,610
It's gonna be shaking
everything.
789
00:31:48,610 --> 00:31:49,762
So, every little piece
we put on,
790
00:31:49,762 --> 00:31:50,276
So, every little piece
we put on,
791
00:31:50,276 --> 00:31:52,910
just get a little more
excited about getting
across that finish line,
792
00:31:52,910 --> 00:31:53,977
and making something
really cool.
793
00:32:02,309 --> 00:32:03,877
[Bill] We're getting
really close, man.
794
00:32:03,877 --> 00:32:06,043
You can really start
to see how everything
is coming together
795
00:32:06,043 --> 00:32:08,309
from the '23 Polaris Ranger.
796
00:32:08,309 --> 00:32:11,510
We got our top radius.
We got our back radius.
797
00:32:11,510 --> 00:32:17,510
So the next thing
we're gonna do is,
make the two side pieces.
798
00:32:17,510 --> 00:32:20,743
You know, one that caps
the top rail here
799
00:32:20,810 --> 00:32:22,510
and goes all the way
down to the side.
800
00:32:22,510 --> 00:32:23,910
One bends on the side here,
801
00:32:23,910 --> 00:32:25,610
so it keeps everything
nice and straight.
802
00:32:25,610 --> 00:32:26,040
So when you're welding it,
it's not gonna bow
and buckle.
803
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,643
So when you're welding it,
it's not gonna bow
and buckle.
804
00:32:28,710 --> 00:32:31,610
It has that nice, clean,
crisp edge on it.
805
00:32:31,610 --> 00:32:33,343
It makes everything
super strong.
806
00:32:34,010 --> 00:32:35,810
The last piece for Jessie.
807
00:32:35,810 --> 00:32:36,843
So, we'll go get that done.
808
00:32:41,843 --> 00:32:43,410
-[Bill] That's it, man.
-All right.
809
00:32:44,043 --> 00:32:45,176
[Bill] Thank you.
810
00:32:46,143 --> 00:32:48,343
There's gonna be a lot
of vibration in here.
811
00:32:48,410 --> 00:32:51,643
Not only going down
a trail or through mudholes,
812
00:32:51,710 --> 00:32:54,743
but from all the subs
that are gonna be in here.
813
00:32:54,810 --> 00:32:56,040
It's gonna be a ton
of stereo.
814
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:56,843
It's gonna be a ton
of stereo.
815
00:32:56,910 --> 00:33:01,143
That and, the side to side
movement of the dancing bed.
816
00:33:01,209 --> 00:33:03,510
This is gonna be put through
the test, for sure.
817
00:33:03,510 --> 00:33:05,309
So we're gonna make sure
it's super strong,
818
00:33:05,309 --> 00:33:09,643
and we're not gonna have any
problem down the future
with anything cracking.
819
00:33:09,710 --> 00:33:12,643
Jessie's working on our
side piece right now.
820
00:33:12,710 --> 00:33:15,710
So, I need to go ahead
and start filling this
radius right here.
821
00:33:15,710 --> 00:33:19,010
It's compound radius,
'cause I'm rolling this way.
822
00:33:19,010 --> 00:33:20,510
And I'm rolling this way.
823
00:33:20,510 --> 00:33:23,143
So I have a arch
and a radius going in.
824
00:33:23,209 --> 00:33:24,710
[Jamie]
Oh, I'mma take my
825
00:33:24,710 --> 00:33:26,040
nice piece of sheet
metal right here.
826
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:26,710
nice piece of sheet
metal right here.
827
00:33:26,710 --> 00:33:29,309
Put it in the roller.
Get it rolled.
828
00:33:29,309 --> 00:33:31,309
Once I do that, then I'll
start rolling this edge.
829
00:33:33,209 --> 00:33:36,209
So you know, when making
a piece like this,
you gotta kind of fill it out.
830
00:33:36,209 --> 00:33:38,043
See what your metal's doing.
How your metal's working.
831
00:33:38,043 --> 00:33:39,543
And just kind of adjust
on the fly.
832
00:33:40,910 --> 00:33:42,410
Mmm.
833
00:33:42,410 --> 00:33:44,010
You're not gonna
do it just a certain way.
834
00:33:44,010 --> 00:33:46,810
Every little bend
and radius and corners
are always different.
835
00:33:46,810 --> 00:33:48,610
So, there's many
different techniques.
836
00:33:48,610 --> 00:33:50,309
And, I'll go
with the planishing hammer.
837
00:33:51,910 --> 00:33:54,243
Well, the reason
I do it this way is 'cause
it makes a lot of noise,
838
00:33:54,309 --> 00:33:55,443
and it irritates
everybody in the shop.
839
00:33:59,143 --> 00:34:00,610
So after a round
in the planishing hammer,
840
00:34:00,610 --> 00:34:01,510
I'll dolly it out
a little bit.
841
00:34:03,843 --> 00:34:05,043
Cut it down to size.
842
00:34:06,143 --> 00:34:07,143
She got it now.
843
00:34:07,143 --> 00:34:09,010
So it takes a lot of time,
a lot of effort.
844
00:34:09,010 --> 00:34:12,610
But in the end, you won't even
know all the work that went
in that one little corner.
845
00:34:14,443 --> 00:34:15,510
[Bill] You're the last
little piece.
846
00:34:17,343 --> 00:34:19,309
Well, last big piece.
847
00:34:19,309 --> 00:34:21,910
It looks simple.
Just bend some sides
and put it in place.
848
00:34:21,910 --> 00:34:23,910
But, there's a lot of room
for error on that.
849
00:34:23,910 --> 00:34:26,040
So you gotta check, check,
double check, triple check,
850
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,143
So you gotta check, check,
double check, triple check,
851
00:34:27,143 --> 00:34:29,710
and make sure it's 100%, so...
852
00:34:29,710 --> 00:34:32,543
That's what I'm doing.
Just laying everything out.
853
00:34:32,610 --> 00:34:34,810
Measuring,
coming back,
laying out.
854
00:34:34,810 --> 00:34:36,309
Measuring, laying out.
855
00:34:36,309 --> 00:34:39,243
It should fit right in.
856
00:34:39,309 --> 00:34:40,710
And, we're only
doing this one time.
857
00:34:40,710 --> 00:34:42,910
Then, the camper
will be complete.
858
00:34:52,043 --> 00:34:53,410
[Bill] I mean we got a camper.
859
00:34:53,410 --> 00:34:54,543
I see. I see.
860
00:34:54,610 --> 00:34:56,040
[Bill] Looks like
perfectly even
with the roof.
861
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:56,610
[Bill] Looks like
perfectly even
with the roof.
862
00:34:56,610 --> 00:34:58,010
Got a little slant back.
863
00:34:58,010 --> 00:35:00,343
It just flows,
'cause the front
kind of kicks down too.
864
00:35:00,410 --> 00:35:02,010
So it looks like it's perfect.
865
00:35:02,010 --> 00:35:04,309
-We put in a way more work
than I thought I was gonna do.
-I know, right.
866
00:35:04,309 --> 00:35:06,309
[laughs]
867
00:35:06,309 --> 00:35:09,309
[Bill] The custom camper
is just one of the first
parts of this built.
868
00:35:09,309 --> 00:35:12,309
From here, we're gonna go
with a little old school
mini truck flavor.
869
00:35:12,309 --> 00:35:14,510
[Bill] Like making
a dancing bed.
870
00:35:14,510 --> 00:35:16,610
We put it upside down
right there.
871
00:35:16,610 --> 00:35:18,643
[Bill] We're gonna bring
the right team in to do that.
872
00:35:19,743 --> 00:35:22,443
Gonna add rear steer,
bumper, paint,
873
00:35:22,510 --> 00:35:25,410
interior, stereo,
speaker, lights.
874
00:35:25,410 --> 00:35:26,040
But as it sits right now,
875
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:26,910
But as it sits right now,
876
00:35:26,910 --> 00:35:29,043
it's already
really, really cool.
877
00:35:29,043 --> 00:35:31,010
I'm definitely
getting excited.
878
00:35:31,010 --> 00:35:34,109
There won't be another
one like it anywhere,
much less the mud part.
879
00:35:44,410 --> 00:35:46,710
All right, so we're working
on a Jeep Gladiator.
880
00:35:46,710 --> 00:35:49,710
[Edgar] The reason why we have
this bed here is 'cause
the other one got wrecked.
881
00:35:49,710 --> 00:35:52,410
So, instead of fixing
the dents and all that,
882
00:35:52,410 --> 00:35:54,410
we thought, hey, might
as well get a new bed.
883
00:35:54,410 --> 00:35:56,040
One big problem, this color's
not the same as the vehicle.
884
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,510
One big problem, this color's
not the same as the vehicle.
885
00:35:57,510 --> 00:36:01,410
So what we have to do is,
change the color. Color
match it to the vehicle,
886
00:36:01,410 --> 00:36:03,810
so it can all look perfect,
like nothing ever happened.
887
00:36:11,443 --> 00:36:14,710
The reason I take all
the fenders off of the bed
is cause you have this.
888
00:36:14,710 --> 00:36:16,209
And some people
try to cut corners
889
00:36:16,209 --> 00:36:18,410
and maybe just
leave the fender on.
890
00:36:18,410 --> 00:36:22,043
And try to make sure
they get as much paint
as it you want, inside.
891
00:36:22,043 --> 00:36:25,043
But, we're gonna do
the paint here.
Your paint there.
892
00:36:25,643 --> 00:36:26,040
And get it done right.
893
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:26,910
And get it done right.
894
00:36:29,243 --> 00:36:30,343
[exclaims in excitement]
895
00:36:31,943 --> 00:36:34,109
[Edgar] You wanna sand it.
Get this green off.
896
00:36:34,109 --> 00:36:36,043
Then we're gonna prep it.
Get it in the booth.
897
00:36:36,109 --> 00:36:37,743
And get the actual
right color on it.
898
00:36:46,143 --> 00:36:48,610
[Bill] With the busy shop
getting even busier,
899
00:36:48,610 --> 00:36:50,309
we got a lot of new faces.
900
00:36:50,309 --> 00:36:52,309
Patrick came all the way
from Mississippi.
901
00:36:52,309 --> 00:36:54,943
And I'm glad we got him
as a new painter.
902
00:36:55,010 --> 00:36:56,040
Edgar's done prepping the bed.
903
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:56,610
Edgar's done prepping the bed.
904
00:36:56,610 --> 00:37:00,610
So, now, the next step
is to seal it.
905
00:37:00,610 --> 00:37:03,710
That's actually gonna turn
the green bed into a red bed.
906
00:37:03,710 --> 00:37:05,810
[Patrick] We go in,
we mix our sealer.
907
00:37:05,810 --> 00:37:08,943
'Cause without that,
it won't dry. It won't adhere.
908
00:37:20,010 --> 00:37:22,510
Second step is the base coat.
909
00:37:22,510 --> 00:37:26,040
We're gonna do
a spray out, to make sure
the color's, uh, the same.
910
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:26,309
We're gonna do
a spray out, to make sure
the color's, uh, the same.
911
00:37:27,943 --> 00:37:30,843
Now after the spray out,
we'll go and check it
with the vehicle.
912
00:37:30,910 --> 00:37:32,943
Make sure
that it's the proper color.
913
00:37:33,710 --> 00:37:36,309
Actually looks pretty proper.
914
00:37:36,309 --> 00:37:39,710
So, what we're gonna do,
is get the bed sprayed.
915
00:37:39,710 --> 00:37:43,410
Three or four coats of base.
Tack between coats.
916
00:37:43,410 --> 00:37:45,810
Then we move on
to the clear process.
917
00:37:49,543 --> 00:37:51,643
It's crucial when you're
mixing your clear coat,
918
00:37:51,710 --> 00:37:53,410
'cause you wanna
mix it just right,
919
00:37:53,410 --> 00:37:54,910
so it'll dry
at the proper time.
920
00:37:55,910 --> 00:37:56,040
Three or four coats of clear.
921
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,643
Three or four coats of clear.
922
00:37:57,710 --> 00:37:59,143
Same steps.
923
00:37:59,209 --> 00:38:00,910
Tack between coats.
924
00:38:00,910 --> 00:38:02,610
We actually have
a red bed that actually
matches the Jeep.
925
00:38:07,510 --> 00:38:09,309
[Patrick] I started painting
model cars, bicycles,
back in the day.
926
00:38:09,309 --> 00:38:11,943
I actually started
in my backyard.
927
00:38:12,010 --> 00:38:15,243
My father built a shop,
just so I could continue.
928
00:38:15,309 --> 00:38:18,810
Years later, I bought my
own property,
built my own shop.
929
00:38:18,810 --> 00:38:21,309
So basically started from
the backyard.
930
00:38:21,309 --> 00:38:23,943
Kept inspiring myself.
That that's my passion
of painting.
931
00:38:25,610 --> 00:38:29,143
When you first see
a vehicle, the color
is the first thing you see.
932
00:38:29,143 --> 00:38:32,810
I take normal colors.
Make it lot more intense.
933
00:38:32,810 --> 00:38:34,643
It's very exciting to me.
934
00:38:34,710 --> 00:38:35,534
I like taking a vehicle
and giving it attitude.
935
00:38:35,534 --> 00:38:37,710
I like taking a vehicle
and giving it attitude.
936
00:38:37,710 --> 00:38:40,410
We get to take
something new,
tear it apart,
937
00:38:40,410 --> 00:38:42,710
and make something
better out of it.
938
00:38:42,710 --> 00:38:44,743
I actually get to bring
them back to life.
939
00:38:44,810 --> 00:38:47,543
So it's like being
a big kid again.
940
00:38:47,610 --> 00:38:50,543
This is actually something
I would like to pass on
to my kids.
941
00:38:50,610 --> 00:38:53,643
I have a 18-year-old son
and a four year old son.
942
00:38:53,710 --> 00:38:57,910
And I'm looking forward
to those guys actually
coming into this.
943
00:38:57,910 --> 00:39:00,209
May be they could be a whole
lot better than I am.
944
00:39:00,209 --> 00:39:01,710
Which is gonna be rough.
945
00:39:01,710 --> 00:39:03,176
But, hopefully they
can be better than I am.
946
00:39:13,343 --> 00:39:17,143
The Jeep Gladiator was pretty
beat up after getting
in an accident.
947
00:39:17,209 --> 00:39:19,610
But that just gave us
the opportunity
to make it really cool
948
00:39:20,143 --> 00:39:21,309
and custom.
949
00:39:22,543 --> 00:39:24,777
You know, the after-market
bumper that was on here
950
00:39:24,777 --> 00:39:26,243
just isn't gonna cut it.
951
00:39:26,309 --> 00:39:28,410
So we're gonna go
with a fabricated
metal bumper
952
00:39:28,410 --> 00:39:30,510
that'll hold up a lot better.
953
00:39:30,510 --> 00:39:34,410
It's gonna really add
to a look that
you know, he's going for.
954
00:39:34,410 --> 00:39:35,886
It's gonna add
to the beefiness of the rear
to match the front.
955
00:39:35,886 --> 00:39:38,010
It's gonna add
to the beefiness of the rear
to match the front.
956
00:39:38,010 --> 00:39:40,510
You know, we got everything
going on up front.
957
00:39:40,510 --> 00:39:43,043
And just there was
nothing back here.
Stock bumper.
958
00:39:43,109 --> 00:39:47,043
So, this is really gonna
be a good look for him.
959
00:39:47,109 --> 00:39:50,443
A little less stock
and more custom.
Right up our alley.
960
00:39:52,309 --> 00:39:53,843
[Ryan] A little more.
Right there.
961
00:39:55,343 --> 00:39:58,043
We got it back down
on the ground and some
of the wheels and tires.
962
00:39:58,109 --> 00:40:00,910
You can see the links
have moved it back
exactly where we wanted it.
963
00:40:00,910 --> 00:40:02,843
Center of the bed here
in the wheel well.
964
00:40:02,910 --> 00:40:04,910
Time to clean it up
and we'll give Greg
his truck back.
965
00:40:16,343 --> 00:40:18,843
[Bill] We're not typically
a collision repair shop,
966
00:40:18,910 --> 00:40:22,010
but if any of our buyers needs
some help, we're definitely
gonna help them out.
967
00:40:22,010 --> 00:40:23,143
And then some.
968
00:40:23,143 --> 00:40:24,510
-[Bill]
What's happening, Greg?
-You all right?
969
00:40:24,510 --> 00:40:25,710
[Bill] How you doing, man?
970
00:40:25,710 --> 00:40:27,276
Hanging in there.
I've been waiting.
971
00:40:27,309 --> 00:40:30,777
Definitely the perfect
opportunity to bring
him over to the custom world.
972
00:40:30,777 --> 00:40:32,510
Me getting rear ended
in that accident,
973
00:40:32,510 --> 00:40:34,410
looks like it could have been
a blessing in disguise.
974
00:40:34,410 --> 00:40:35,886
Well, we're about to see.
975
00:40:35,886 --> 00:40:36,410
Well, we're about to see.
976
00:40:36,410 --> 00:40:37,777
-You ready to check it out?
-I am, man.
977
00:40:37,777 --> 00:40:39,010
All right, Ryan.
Come on with it.
978
00:40:41,610 --> 00:40:42,910
Oh, my God.
979
00:40:42,910 --> 00:40:44,109
[both laughing]
980
00:40:44,143 --> 00:40:46,209
[Greg] Bill,
you knocked it out
of the park, buddy.
981
00:40:46,209 --> 00:40:47,410
-[Bill laughs]
-That is...
982
00:40:47,410 --> 00:40:49,910
bad ass, oh my God.
983
00:40:49,910 --> 00:40:51,643
Dent's gone!
984
00:40:51,710 --> 00:40:53,410
[Greg] Hey, I thought you
just gonna scuff it up,
985
00:40:53,410 --> 00:40:55,109
throw a little paint on it
and stick it back on there.
986
00:40:55,109 --> 00:40:56,309
No, man. Come on.
987
00:40:56,309 --> 00:40:57,309
Oh, my gosh.
988
00:40:58,777 --> 00:41:00,109
That is phenomenal.
989
00:41:00,109 --> 00:41:01,443
-Wassup, Ryan?
How you doing, brother?
-Wassup, big man?
990
00:41:01,510 --> 00:41:04,143
-What do you think?
-Oh, hell of a job, man.
991
00:41:04,209 --> 00:41:05,886
[Greg] I never in a million
years thought it would
come back to me like this.
992
00:41:05,886 --> 00:41:08,010
[Greg] I never in a million
years thought it would
come back to me like this.
993
00:41:08,010 --> 00:41:11,010
Man, we had to get you
hooked up. I mean,
you always take care of us.
994
00:41:11,010 --> 00:41:14,143
Whatever we need.
So I wanna return the favor.
995
00:41:14,209 --> 00:41:18,010
It got a little crashed up.
I mean, the whole bed
was actually wrecked.
996
00:41:18,010 --> 00:41:20,209
It would just taken
way too long to repair it.
997
00:41:20,209 --> 00:41:23,410
We just got you another bed,
color matched it,
bolted it right on.
998
00:41:23,410 --> 00:41:24,710
The bed came out beautiful.
999
00:41:25,309 --> 00:41:26,543
New lights on it.
1000
00:41:26,610 --> 00:41:28,443
Bumper on it looks amazing.
1001
00:41:28,443 --> 00:41:31,710
[Bill] It had a plastic bumper
on it too. So you didn't
have very much protection.
1002
00:41:31,710 --> 00:41:33,810
We had to put something
a little bit more substantial,
1003
00:41:33,810 --> 00:41:35,410
in case that ever
happened again.
1004
00:41:35,410 --> 00:41:35,886
They're gonna bounce
off that big boy.
1005
00:41:35,886 --> 00:41:37,043
They're gonna bounce
off that big boy.
1006
00:41:37,043 --> 00:41:39,209
[Bill laughs] Yeah.
They are, man, for sure.
1007
00:41:39,209 --> 00:41:41,143
Great looking truck,
had a good stance,
1008
00:41:41,143 --> 00:41:44,610
but once you lifted it,
you know, with that short
factory 4-link,
1009
00:41:44,610 --> 00:41:46,643
the wheels moved
a little more forward.
1010
00:41:46,710 --> 00:41:49,543
So what we did is,
made a brand new 4-link,
1011
00:41:49,610 --> 00:41:52,343
and scooted the wheels back,
center of the fender well.
1012
00:41:52,410 --> 00:41:55,043
It looks cool under there,
and it definitely
serves its purpose.
1013
00:41:55,109 --> 00:41:56,777
Made it styled for me.
1014
00:41:56,777 --> 00:41:59,710
Oh, yeah, man. That thing
will be able to handle
anything you throw at it now.
1015
00:41:59,710 --> 00:42:02,710
Big DOM arms and the big
himes and all that stuff,
1016
00:42:02,777 --> 00:42:05,886
plus centering it,
it looks great,
and it'll handle great.
1017
00:42:05,886 --> 00:42:06,143
plus centering it,
it looks great,
and it'll handle great.
1018
00:42:06,143 --> 00:42:08,043
-It's good. No problem.
-No problem, man.
1019
00:42:08,043 --> 00:42:11,209
-Phenomenal.
-Man, we got one other
thing for you too, man.
1020
00:42:11,209 --> 00:42:12,410
-More?
-Yeah.
1021
00:42:12,410 --> 00:42:14,410
-All right.
-Little something,
something up front.
1022
00:42:14,410 --> 00:42:15,543
-Let's see it.
-Check it out.
1023
00:42:18,410 --> 00:42:20,143
Oh, wow, guys.
1024
00:42:20,209 --> 00:42:22,643
It doesn't even look like
the same truck anymore.
1025
00:42:22,710 --> 00:42:24,410
Well, good, 'cause I
definitely didn't like
that front bumper.
1026
00:42:24,410 --> 00:42:25,977
Yeah, nah.
1027
00:42:25,977 --> 00:42:28,043
-[Bill] It looked like it had
moustache, didn't it?
-[all laughing]
1028
00:42:28,109 --> 00:42:30,209
[Bill] You wanted a little
bit more ground clearance.
1029
00:42:30,209 --> 00:42:32,209
You wanted a little bit
more tire clearance.
1030
00:42:32,209 --> 00:42:35,886
And, we talked about
chopping that bumper
that you had on there.
1031
00:42:35,886 --> 00:42:36,910
And, we talked about
chopping that bumper
that you had on there.
1032
00:42:36,910 --> 00:42:38,843
And man,
after thinking about it,
looking at it,
1033
00:42:38,910 --> 00:42:40,410
it just wasn't gonna
look cool.
1034
00:42:40,410 --> 00:42:43,209
So, what we did is just
took the old bumper off,
1035
00:42:43,209 --> 00:42:46,510
and pushed that winch
as far back as we could
in the frame,
1036
00:42:46,510 --> 00:42:48,410
made new brackets,
cut the frame off,
1037
00:42:48,410 --> 00:42:51,209
gave me six more inches
right there in the front.
1038
00:42:51,209 --> 00:42:53,610
We just took a piece
of eighth inch material
1039
00:42:53,610 --> 00:42:55,209
and just started
chopping it up.
1040
00:42:55,209 --> 00:42:57,610
-[Bill] That's 25 pieces
of metal right there.
-[Greg] Wow.
1041
00:42:57,610 --> 00:43:00,610
[Bill] All welded,
bent together,
to form that bumper.
1042
00:43:00,610 --> 00:43:03,043
[Greg] The whole front
of the truck looks
like one piece now.
1043
00:43:03,043 --> 00:43:05,109
-Yeah.
-It just looks amazing.
1044
00:43:05,109 --> 00:43:05,886
You ain't gonna find
that on the internet. No.
1045
00:43:05,886 --> 00:43:06,410
You ain't gonna find
that on the internet. No.
1046
00:43:06,410 --> 00:43:08,410
[all laughing]
1047
00:43:08,410 --> 00:43:11,910
I just wanna say,
huge thank you
to everybody in the shop.
1048
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:13,610
They did an amazing job.
1049
00:43:13,610 --> 00:43:15,243
I can't thank you guys enough.
1050
00:43:15,309 --> 00:43:18,043
I can't wait to get the truck
out in the mud park
and go have some fun.
1051
00:43:18,043 --> 00:43:19,610
-So you liking it?
-I love it.
1052
00:43:19,610 --> 00:43:20,610
I love it, man.
1053
00:43:20,910 --> 00:43:22,510
Hang on.
1054
00:43:22,510 --> 00:43:24,510
Every time I've seen you
build a truck like...
1055
00:43:24,510 --> 00:43:25,710
Did you drive my truck?
1056
00:43:25,777 --> 00:43:27,610
[all laughing]
1057
00:43:27,610 --> 00:43:30,043
Well, we haven't, you know,
really broken it in yet.
1058
00:43:30,109 --> 00:43:30,843
Yeah, you showed up too early.
