1
00:00:02,209 --> 00:00:05,209
Man, I don't know if Bill
knows what he got
himself into.
2
00:00:05,209 --> 00:00:07,410
[Bill] We're adding
hydraulic cylinders
under the bed
3
00:00:07,410 --> 00:00:09,143
of the '23 Polaris Ranger.
4
00:00:09,209 --> 00:00:10,910
We're doing a dancing bed
on a side-by-side?
5
00:00:10,910 --> 00:00:12,410
[Bill] Gotta have
that adjustability.
6
00:00:12,410 --> 00:00:15,510
We gotta put rear steer on it,
be really be doing donuts.
7
00:00:15,510 --> 00:00:18,043
[Bill] John's filling it
with a ton of subs.
8
00:00:18,043 --> 00:00:20,043
Now we'll see if it fits.
9
00:00:20,109 --> 00:00:22,243
[Bill] The '52 Wrecker
is a ground-up build.
10
00:00:22,309 --> 00:00:24,910
The next step on it
is building a bed
from nothing.
11
00:00:24,910 --> 00:00:26,543
Oh, yeah.
12
00:00:26,543 --> 00:00:29,510
Best part of the whole build,
we had all this open space
to work with
13
00:00:29,510 --> 00:00:30,043
and unlimited options.
14
00:00:30,043 --> 00:00:31,109
and unlimited options.
15
00:00:31,109 --> 00:00:33,143
[Bill] It'll take a lot
of work, but we're gonna
get it figured out.
16
00:00:33,209 --> 00:00:36,043
Dang! Golly.
17
00:00:39,943 --> 00:00:41,209
I'm Bill Carlton,
18
00:00:41,209 --> 00:00:44,510
I built my first truck
when I was 16.
19
00:00:44,510 --> 00:00:48,543
And ever since, me and my guys
have been out here creating
with our hands.
20
00:00:50,843 --> 00:00:55,443
Building the biggest, lowest,
baddest custom trucks
and cars in the game.
21
00:00:57,543 --> 00:01:00,043
People don't come here for
what they need, they come
here for what they want.
22
00:01:00,043 --> 00:01:02,209
People don't come here for
what they need, they come
here for what they want.
23
00:01:03,843 --> 00:01:04,710
This...
24
00:01:05,510 --> 00:01:07,010
is Texas Metal.
25
00:01:14,209 --> 00:01:17,143
[Bill] Here we've decided
to make a roof
for the side-by-side
26
00:01:18,109 --> 00:01:19,410
'cause there wasn't
anything there,
27
00:01:19,410 --> 00:01:21,443
so I'm definitely
not gonna buy a roof.
28
00:01:24,010 --> 00:01:28,910
This custom roof
is just one more step
on the '23 Polaris Ranger.
29
00:01:28,910 --> 00:01:30,043
We got the top
chopped 4-inches to get
that roofline way down
30
00:01:30,043 --> 00:01:32,943
We got the top
chopped 4-inches to get
that roofline way down
31
00:01:33,010 --> 00:01:35,109
and to make it
way more streamlined.
32
00:01:35,109 --> 00:01:38,010
I wanted a camper on it,
but that's not something
you can order,
33
00:01:38,010 --> 00:01:40,510
so we made it ourselves.
34
00:01:43,810 --> 00:01:46,610
I'ma have Jessie
burn me out a perimeter
35
00:01:46,610 --> 00:01:49,610
I can weld in this seam
all the way around.
36
00:01:51,209 --> 00:01:55,510
We'll actually sandwich
some 3/8ths plexiglass
37
00:01:55,510 --> 00:01:57,643
in between the two pieces
of metal.
38
00:01:57,710 --> 00:01:59,810
With that same file
that Jessie drew
39
00:01:59,810 --> 00:02:00,043
I had John cut me out
some 3/8ths MDF
40
00:02:00,043 --> 00:02:03,543
I had John cut me out
some 3/8ths MDF
41
00:02:03,610 --> 00:02:07,309
that represents the thickness
of the plexiglass.
42
00:02:07,309 --> 00:02:09,610
So I'ma sandwich
these two together,
43
00:02:09,610 --> 00:02:12,143
put it up in the roof
of the side-by-side,
44
00:02:12,209 --> 00:02:13,877
clamp it all together,
45
00:02:13,877 --> 00:02:16,810
and I'll have my perfect
fit in it where the plexiglass
is all gonna be.
46
00:02:16,810 --> 00:02:21,510
So everything'll be nice
and straight, measured out,
prefect distance.
47
00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:25,710
When I sandwich
all this together it's gonna
look really, really cool.
48
00:02:29,843 --> 00:02:30,043
Once we get the roof done,
we can start mocking up
that suspension.
49
00:02:30,043 --> 00:02:32,710
Once we get the roof done,
we can start mocking up
that suspension.
50
00:02:34,209 --> 00:02:36,910
And then, we're gonna move
to that dancing bed.
51
00:02:36,910 --> 00:02:38,343
You know, it's an old
mini truck thing
52
00:02:38,410 --> 00:02:40,943
where the bed moves
back and forth
all on hydraulics.
53
00:02:41,010 --> 00:02:43,343
You know, what build
wouldn't be complete
with lights
54
00:02:43,410 --> 00:02:45,010
and a whole lot
of stereo system,
55
00:02:45,010 --> 00:02:47,243
so it can be really,
really loud.
56
00:02:49,910 --> 00:02:53,209
So we got a nice little spot
for our plexiglass
to fit in now.
57
00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:55,710
Yeah.
58
00:02:55,710 --> 00:02:59,010
Man, we got our bottom lip,
it'll be 100% water-tight.
59
00:02:59,010 --> 00:03:00,043
We won't have any drips
when you go through and splash
a big mud puddle, so.
60
00:03:00,043 --> 00:03:04,209
We won't have any drips
when you go through and splash
a big mud puddle, so.
61
00:03:04,209 --> 00:03:06,410
It's real cool. It's gonna
look really, really clean.
62
00:03:06,410 --> 00:03:07,710
And it's gonna
be different, man.
63
00:03:07,710 --> 00:03:10,943
Not too many side-by-sides
have two sunroofs.
64
00:03:16,309 --> 00:03:17,910
Making this thing standout
is not easy.
65
00:03:17,910 --> 00:03:20,243
There so many of these Rangers
out at the mud park.
66
00:03:20,309 --> 00:03:23,209
I mean, so gotta put
everything we got on it.
67
00:03:23,209 --> 00:03:25,510
We're gonna do ahead
and put rear steer on it.
68
00:03:25,510 --> 00:03:27,410
Grab your side
on the other side.
69
00:03:27,410 --> 00:03:30,043
So the rear steer's
gonna allow the rear tires
70
00:03:30,043 --> 00:03:30,309
So the rear steer's
gonna allow the rear tires
71
00:03:30,309 --> 00:03:33,410
to turn along
with the front tires
on a travel switch.
72
00:03:33,410 --> 00:03:35,810
So if you wanted
to cut a sharp circle,
73
00:03:35,810 --> 00:03:40,209
you just hit that rear steer,
turn your wheels together,
be really be doing donuts.
74
00:03:42,943 --> 00:03:45,043
My dad told me we're finally
tearing this thing apart,
75
00:03:45,043 --> 00:03:47,043
so I had to come down
and help out, you know.
76
00:03:47,043 --> 00:03:49,309
Maybe if I help out
on the build he'll let me
take it out.
77
00:03:53,810 --> 00:03:55,510
[Jamie] We'll start
taking off the exhaust,
78
00:03:55,510 --> 00:03:59,243
take off the control arms,
take off the spindle,
take out the shafts,
79
00:03:59,309 --> 00:04:00,043
I mean, we're gonna pull
this thing completely apart.
80
00:04:00,043 --> 00:04:02,143
I mean, we're gonna pull
this thing completely apart.
81
00:04:09,010 --> 00:04:12,643
That was the easy part,
now trying to figure out
where everything goes.
82
00:04:12,710 --> 00:04:15,043
-Oh, that's the best part.
-Yeah.
83
00:04:15,043 --> 00:04:17,510
Okay, well, we got all our
control arms right here.
84
00:04:17,510 --> 00:04:20,309
Look at the difference,
looks like we could snap this.
85
00:04:20,309 --> 00:04:22,510
This right here,
this is solid.
86
00:04:22,510 --> 00:04:25,143
You could... I mean,
you could run this on a truck.
87
00:04:25,143 --> 00:04:28,309
The same thing with the rear,
I mean, this is thin,
square tubing.
88
00:04:28,309 --> 00:04:30,043
And this thing
can go through some hell.
89
00:04:30,043 --> 00:04:30,309
And this thing
can go through some hell.
90
00:04:30,309 --> 00:04:33,309
Get rid of these weak,
little links right here.
91
00:04:33,309 --> 00:04:35,109
One less thing
to break on the trail.
92
00:04:38,910 --> 00:04:42,209
So we're need to go ahead
and find all our bushings,
get our bushings pressed in.
93
00:04:43,043 --> 00:04:44,309
We got ball joints
we gotta do.
94
00:04:44,309 --> 00:04:45,510
-You got it this time?
-[Keegan] Yep.
95
00:04:49,810 --> 00:04:51,309
[chuckles] There.
96
00:04:54,543 --> 00:04:57,810
Next, we're gonna go ahead
and start putting them back
on the Ranger.
97
00:05:04,343 --> 00:05:06,343
All right, we still
have to put air strut in.
98
00:05:08,143 --> 00:05:09,710
We're taking the spring
off the strut
99
00:05:11,610 --> 00:05:13,410
and we're gonna
replace it with this airbag.
100
00:05:13,410 --> 00:05:16,243
That's gonna give us
that up and down
air suspension movement.
101
00:05:16,309 --> 00:05:19,410
You can't adjust this spring,
all it's gonna do is compress.
102
00:05:19,410 --> 00:05:22,810
This right here,
we can put air in it,
make it expand, let air out.
103
00:05:22,810 --> 00:05:26,443
That's gonna give you a lower
and a higher ride height.
104
00:05:28,610 --> 00:05:30,043
Cool.
105
00:05:30,043 --> 00:05:30,309
Cool.
106
00:05:30,309 --> 00:05:33,010
We're gonna go ahead
and just put the portals in
without the CV axles.
107
00:05:33,010 --> 00:05:34,510
'Cause we don't wanna
keep on pushing in
108
00:05:34,510 --> 00:05:36,410
and snapping off
that seal right there
109
00:05:36,410 --> 00:05:37,710
Let's just snug 'em up.
110
00:05:42,443 --> 00:05:44,109
This our hydraulic ram
right here.
111
00:05:45,910 --> 00:05:50,043
And it's gonna push this rod
out to the spindle,
connect to the tie rod,
112
00:05:50,109 --> 00:05:53,410
and that's gonna turn
your wheels left and right
together in sequence.
113
00:05:53,410 --> 00:05:55,410
So this is a tie rod,
this is basically gonna hold
114
00:05:56,443 --> 00:05:58,510
tension on the wheel.
115
00:05:58,510 --> 00:06:00,043
It's gonna bolt
just like you see right here.
116
00:06:00,043 --> 00:06:00,943
It's gonna bolt
just like you see right here.
117
00:06:01,010 --> 00:06:02,410
You're gonna
put a heim right here,
118
00:06:02,410 --> 00:06:04,810
through bolt it,
two misalignment spacers.
119
00:06:04,810 --> 00:06:08,810
Once you put that on there,
that's gonna complete
our steering right there.
120
00:06:08,810 --> 00:06:10,610
[Keegan] This is a huge
improvement from what we
had before.
121
00:06:10,610 --> 00:06:13,143
We got new arms,
we got new air struts,
122
00:06:13,143 --> 00:06:16,410
and we got
this rear steer system.
123
00:06:16,410 --> 00:06:17,610
I think it's just gonna
be insane.
124
00:06:17,610 --> 00:06:19,243
I can't wait
to take this thing
behind my dad's back
125
00:06:19,309 --> 00:06:21,443
when he ain't looking,
take it out with my friends.
126
00:06:28,209 --> 00:06:30,043
[Bill] While we're finishing
up the suspension,
127
00:06:30,043 --> 00:06:30,143
[Bill] While we're finishing
up the suspension,
128
00:06:30,143 --> 00:06:33,243
I'm gonna go with all black
glossy paint on the Ranger.
129
00:06:35,243 --> 00:06:38,309
Next, we wanna
take the heat gun and heat up
all the stickers.
130
00:06:38,309 --> 00:06:39,810
If there's any stickers on 'em
131
00:06:39,810 --> 00:06:43,243
we wanna get
all the stickers off,
just like that.
132
00:06:43,309 --> 00:06:46,810
Painting metal you
usually clean it, sand it.
133
00:06:46,810 --> 00:06:49,610
Plastic, you scruff it
to get the adhesion,
134
00:06:49,610 --> 00:06:52,743
so you have something
to adhere to.
135
00:06:52,810 --> 00:06:56,743
And from there,
it's the same steps
as painting metal.
136
00:06:56,810 --> 00:06:58,943
And once you follow
those simple steps,
137
00:06:59,010 --> 00:07:00,043
you have a properly prepped
piece of plastic.
138
00:07:00,043 --> 00:07:02,643
you have a properly prepped
piece of plastic.
139
00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:08,810
All right, first what we have
is the adhesion promoter.
140
00:07:08,810 --> 00:07:12,143
It actually helps the paint
adhere to plastic.
141
00:07:13,610 --> 00:07:15,043
Step two, sealant.
142
00:07:17,010 --> 00:07:20,610
It gives you a nice,
solid base to enhance
the color.
143
00:07:21,910 --> 00:07:23,410
All right, third step,
144
00:07:24,410 --> 00:07:26,043
the color.
145
00:07:26,043 --> 00:07:30,010
Same thing,
just maybe two coats.
146
00:07:30,010 --> 00:07:30,043
Flash time,
five or 10 minutes,
then we'll move on to clear.
147
00:07:30,043 --> 00:07:33,510
Flash time,
five or 10 minutes,
then we'll move on to clear.
148
00:07:36,810 --> 00:07:39,043
You really
want it to be thick.
149
00:07:39,043 --> 00:07:42,343
You really
want it to be real deep.
150
00:07:42,410 --> 00:07:44,510
I mean,
'cause that's what gives
you that reflection.
151
00:07:44,510 --> 00:07:48,943
That gives you that pizzaz
as they say in black.
152
00:07:49,010 --> 00:07:52,510
If it takes an extra
coat of clear
then that's what we do.
153
00:07:52,510 --> 00:07:59,443
If it's not shiny or glossy
then it's really, you know,
you didn't achieve your goal.
154
00:07:59,510 --> 00:08:00,043
I mean, our main goal
for this black is to make it,
like, as glossy as possible.
155
00:08:00,043 --> 00:08:03,943
I mean, our main goal
for this black is to make it,
like, as glossy as possible.
156
00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:09,543
All right,
couple of hours to dry.
157
00:08:09,610 --> 00:08:11,309
We'll see you
on the next trip.
158
00:08:20,010 --> 00:08:21,043
[Shorty] Hey, what's up, Bill?
159
00:08:21,109 --> 00:08:23,143
-How you doing, man?
-Doing good.
160
00:08:23,143 --> 00:08:26,143
Man, I heard you have a little
project you wanna do.
161
00:08:26,143 --> 00:08:28,610
I do. I really appreciate
you coming by.
162
00:08:28,610 --> 00:08:30,043
Shorty, I've got much respect
for you for many, many, many,
many, many years.
163
00:08:30,043 --> 00:08:32,710
Shorty, I've got much respect
for you for many, many, many,
many, many years.
164
00:08:32,710 --> 00:08:35,910
So I got this crazy idea
that I wanna do hydraulics on.
165
00:08:35,910 --> 00:08:39,043
You know, in Houston
when it comes to lowriders
and hydraulics,
166
00:08:39,043 --> 00:08:40,209
Shorty's the man.
167
00:08:40,209 --> 00:08:42,043
You know, he's one
of the only ones that I trust
168
00:08:42,109 --> 00:08:43,943
when it comes
to making this dancing bed.
169
00:08:44,010 --> 00:08:47,810
You know, I've always liked
the old '90s mini truck
dancing beds,
170
00:08:47,810 --> 00:08:48,910
I always wanted that.
171
00:08:48,910 --> 00:08:49,810
Yeah, yeah.
172
00:08:49,810 --> 00:08:51,343
You know, that's coming back.
173
00:08:51,343 --> 00:08:54,043
You know, a lot of guys
out there building little
trucks all over again.
174
00:08:54,109 --> 00:08:55,743
-[Bill] Yeah, man.
-Well, what'd you got?
175
00:08:57,610 --> 00:08:58,910
Wanna do it
on a side-by-side, huh?
176
00:08:58,910 --> 00:09:00,043
On the side-by-side,
yeah, man.
177
00:09:00,043 --> 00:09:00,710
On the side-by-side,
yeah, man.
178
00:09:00,710 --> 00:09:03,343
You want something crazy here.
179
00:09:03,410 --> 00:09:04,777
I've never seen that before.
180
00:09:04,777 --> 00:09:06,810
-I think that would
just be unbelievable.
-It could be done.
181
00:09:06,810 --> 00:09:09,810
You know, me and the guys,
we use this to go off
to the off-road park.
182
00:09:09,810 --> 00:09:11,910
And I was gonna keep it stock,
183
00:09:11,910 --> 00:09:15,610
you know, just so you don't
have any problems with it,
but I can't have that.
184
00:09:15,610 --> 00:09:17,510
Since I'm building
this side-by-side,
185
00:09:17,510 --> 00:09:19,143
it's gonna
represent the company,
186
00:09:19,209 --> 00:09:21,043
I want something
just unbelievable.
187
00:09:21,043 --> 00:09:23,010
Something crazy that nobody's
ever seen before.
188
00:09:23,010 --> 00:09:25,010
And that's what I need
your help with, man.
189
00:09:25,010 --> 00:09:27,843
I know you are the king
when it comes to something
like that.
190
00:09:27,910 --> 00:09:30,043
Yeah, I guess we can do
a 4-stage on it.
191
00:09:30,043 --> 00:09:31,010
Yeah, I guess we can do
a 4-stage on it.
192
00:09:31,010 --> 00:09:34,143
Can do a tilt back
with the double z-rack
193
00:09:34,209 --> 00:09:36,143
and then one tilt
to the front.
194
00:09:36,209 --> 00:09:37,843
And that way
it's really up there
195
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:39,410
and you'll be
king of the park.
196
00:09:39,410 --> 00:09:42,309
Wow, man, that sounds really,
really, really cool, man.
197
00:09:42,309 --> 00:09:43,777
That's what I'm
looking for.
198
00:09:43,810 --> 00:09:46,610
I'll get my sons out here,
come check it out,
take some measurements.
199
00:09:46,610 --> 00:09:49,510
-Man, I'ma let you get to it.
-All righty, sir.
We'll get on it.
200
00:10:01,610 --> 00:10:03,810
We're doing a dancing bed
on a side-by-side?
201
00:10:03,810 --> 00:10:06,010
-[Shorty] Yeah.
-Ain't never seen
that before. [chuckles]
202
00:10:06,010 --> 00:10:07,343
-It's crazy.
-[Shorty] You know Bill.
203
00:10:07,343 --> 00:10:08,910
Bill's a little
[speaking other language] ,
you know, so.
204
00:10:08,910 --> 00:10:10,176
[Marco chuckles]
205
00:10:10,209 --> 00:10:12,209
It's gonna be a little
challenge being the bed
so small.
206
00:10:12,209 --> 00:10:13,710
It can be done, you know,
we're gonna do it.
207
00:10:13,710 --> 00:10:16,710
First things first,
we gotta build
the top frame for it,
208
00:10:16,710 --> 00:10:18,743
the first rack,
and go from there.
209
00:10:18,810 --> 00:10:20,410
All right,
let's make this dancing bed.
210
00:10:22,810 --> 00:10:25,410
[Bill] Shorty and his sons
are getting after
that hydraulic bed
211
00:10:25,410 --> 00:10:27,243
for the '23 Polaris Ranger.
212
00:10:27,309 --> 00:10:29,743
But before they can get going,
like on any job,
213
00:10:29,810 --> 00:10:33,143
they need to start by prepping
that existing frame.
214
00:10:33,209 --> 00:10:34,777
[Nicholas] All right,
now that we got the bed off
215
00:10:34,777 --> 00:10:37,510
we got the original frame
and we can take measurements
for this.
216
00:10:37,510 --> 00:10:41,843
And think first step's gonna
be is I wanna move this mount
further to the rear,
217
00:10:41,910 --> 00:10:43,743
that way it has
a better swinging,
218
00:10:43,810 --> 00:10:45,209
that way it has
a higher pitch on it.
219
00:10:45,209 --> 00:10:48,109
Let's get this stretched out
as far as it needs to be,
220
00:10:48,109 --> 00:10:50,510
that way we can make
the first top frame.
221
00:10:50,510 --> 00:10:51,884
Go ahead and grab this,
let's get going.
222
00:10:51,884 --> 00:10:53,309
Go ahead and grab this,
let's get going.
223
00:10:56,910 --> 00:10:59,910
[Nicholas] We're gonna
go ahead and cut
this original hinge off
224
00:10:59,910 --> 00:11:01,143
to extend this frame out.
225
00:11:11,943 --> 00:11:15,143
Got that cut off,
we can add on
that 11.5-inches
226
00:11:15,209 --> 00:11:18,109
of 2.5x1.5 square tubing.
227
00:11:21,710 --> 00:11:21,884
Okay, right now,
what I'm gonna cut is gonna
be the frame extension.
228
00:11:21,884 --> 00:11:24,510
Okay, right now,
what I'm gonna cut is gonna
be the frame extension.
229
00:11:24,510 --> 00:11:28,343
So this one's actually
a 1.5x2.5-inches, it's gonna
be a little bit taller,
230
00:11:28,410 --> 00:11:30,209
but we're gonna
drop that part down.
231
00:11:30,209 --> 00:11:31,910
And it's a thicker wall,
so it's gonna be able
to handle the weight
232
00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:34,910
of all the racks, and the bed,
and the camper,
and everything else.
233
00:11:42,510 --> 00:11:43,410
Pretty good.
234
00:11:43,410 --> 00:11:45,710
All right, got the two
extensions cut.
235
00:11:45,710 --> 00:11:48,710
Only thing is they're
a little bit taller
than the factor frame,
236
00:11:48,710 --> 00:11:50,109
but that just
gives it more strength.
237
00:12:01,943 --> 00:12:03,343
That ain't going nowhere.
238
00:12:06,943 --> 00:12:09,410
[Bill] To get that bed
dancing around
the way I want,
239
00:12:09,410 --> 00:12:11,743
they need to build
three frames
to stack together,
240
00:12:11,810 --> 00:12:15,743
so that'll give it the ability
to front, back,
and side to side.
241
00:12:15,810 --> 00:12:17,309
Wanna go ahead
and square 'em out
242
00:12:17,309 --> 00:12:19,443
and go ahead
and get 'em welded up.
243
00:12:27,343 --> 00:12:30,143
All right,
I got these brackets
squared out
244
00:12:30,209 --> 00:12:32,810
on the hinges,
tack weld 'em.
245
00:12:38,710 --> 00:12:41,943
There we go,
we got two hinges made.
Then it's the test time.
246
00:12:46,143 --> 00:12:48,643
Make sure it's squared out
and we'll go ahead
and tack weld 'em.
247
00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:56,143
There it goes.
248
00:12:56,143 --> 00:12:58,010
Well, this is the first one.
Everything looks good.
249
00:12:58,010 --> 00:13:01,309
Now after this
then we have
the second stage
250
00:13:01,309 --> 00:13:03,710
which is gonna
flip to the right.
251
00:13:03,710 --> 00:13:07,209
[Nicholas] So right now
we're determining placement
of the hinges.
252
00:13:07,209 --> 00:13:09,543
-All the way to the edge?
-No, put it over there.
253
00:13:13,010 --> 00:13:15,910
[Nicholas] Now that we found
the placement of the hinges
on the second stage,
254
00:13:15,910 --> 00:13:17,309
we're gonna take it back
to the welding table.
255
00:13:18,143 --> 00:13:19,877
Ready to go.
256
00:13:21,643 --> 00:13:21,884
[Marco] So this is a lot
stronger than what originally
came on the vehicle.
257
00:13:21,884 --> 00:13:25,810
[Marco] So this is a lot
stronger than what originally
came on the vehicle.
258
00:13:25,810 --> 00:13:28,610
[Nicholas] Pretty much
no matter where it's at,
driving off-road,
259
00:13:28,610 --> 00:13:30,510
on road, car shows, whatever,
260
00:13:30,510 --> 00:13:33,309
this thing can be dancing
around and he ain't gonna
have no problems with it.
261
00:13:36,610 --> 00:13:39,510
-The jaw spacers are in.
-[Nicholas] Now we have
a dancing bed.
262
00:13:47,209 --> 00:13:48,710
Oh, man, caught you working.
263
00:13:48,710 --> 00:13:51,043
-Oh, hate when that happens.
-[chuckles]
264
00:13:51,043 --> 00:13:51,884
-Got plenty to do?
-I got too much
to do right now.
265
00:13:51,884 --> 00:13:54,143
-Got plenty to do?
-I got too much
to do right now.
266
00:13:54,209 --> 00:13:55,910
Well, man, you got
a little more to do.
267
00:13:55,910 --> 00:13:57,910
That's all right, bring it on.
268
00:13:57,910 --> 00:14:00,510
We're really
making some headway
on the Wrecker.
269
00:14:00,510 --> 00:14:02,243
I really like
how it's coming out, man.
270
00:14:02,309 --> 00:14:05,209
- I mean, we got that frame
underneath the cab.
-[Carlos] Mmm.
271
00:14:05,209 --> 00:14:06,910
[Bill] Man, super strong.
272
00:14:06,910 --> 00:14:09,610
We got all
the cab mounts made,
the cab's connected.
273
00:14:09,610 --> 00:14:12,710
All the suspension's made,
super heavy suspension.
274
00:14:12,710 --> 00:14:14,243
It's super strong.
275
00:14:14,309 --> 00:14:16,043
I know, I seen
how it was all built
276
00:14:16,043 --> 00:14:19,710
and the way that frame is,
it just looks like a metal
jungle gym.
277
00:14:19,710 --> 00:14:21,884
It's just so beefy and I know
it's gonna handle anything,
278
00:14:21,884 --> 00:14:22,043
It's just so beefy and I know
it's gonna handle anything,
279
00:14:22,109 --> 00:14:23,610
especially that engine
that's in there.
280
00:14:23,610 --> 00:14:26,309
[Bill] You know, that LT4,
640 horsepower,
281
00:14:26,309 --> 00:14:28,843
it's gonna leave four nice,
black marks behind it.
282
00:14:28,910 --> 00:14:30,743
That's what he wanted,
lots of power,
that's what he got.
283
00:14:30,810 --> 00:14:32,209
[Carlos] Mmm-hmm.
284
00:14:32,209 --> 00:14:34,543
When you get out
in that parking lot
and do the first test drive.
285
00:14:34,610 --> 00:14:35,943
Yeah, just a test.
286
00:14:36,010 --> 00:14:38,610
[chuckles] Yeah. And we know
what the "test drive" is.
287
00:14:38,610 --> 00:14:41,943
[Bill] Well, the next step
on it is just building
the bed itself.
288
00:14:42,010 --> 00:14:43,543
Building it from nothing.
289
00:14:43,543 --> 00:14:46,343
You know, just getting back,
clamping some
flat bar together,
290
00:14:46,410 --> 00:14:47,943
getting all the proportions
looking good.
291
00:14:48,010 --> 00:14:50,910
I mean, that's super critical
on something like that.
292
00:14:50,910 --> 00:14:51,884
And then, I wanna incorporate,
you know, a light bar
built onto the bed.
293
00:14:51,884 --> 00:14:54,610
And then, I wanna incorporate,
you know, a light bar
built onto the bed.
294
00:14:54,610 --> 00:14:56,810
- You know,
something that looks good.
- Yeah.
295
00:14:56,810 --> 00:15:00,510
You know, I just don't wanna
go down to RPM and get
a light bar for it.
296
00:15:00,510 --> 00:15:02,043
I wanna build everything
297
00:15:02,043 --> 00:15:04,510
to make it kinda fit
and flow all together.
298
00:15:04,510 --> 00:15:07,343
And for the last part,
the coolest part,
299
00:15:07,410 --> 00:15:09,443
is gonna be building
the whole Wrecker boom.
300
00:15:09,510 --> 00:15:11,143
[Carlos] Have you ever built
anything like that before?
301
00:15:11,209 --> 00:15:13,109
-No, never.
-[chuckles]
302
00:15:13,109 --> 00:15:15,143
-Hey, but that's...
-The fun part.
303
00:15:15,209 --> 00:15:17,743
-Yeah, yeah.
-All right, man, get to it.
304
00:15:17,810 --> 00:15:19,010
All right.
305
00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:27,710
[Bill] We got our new frame
underneath the old '52.
306
00:15:27,710 --> 00:15:31,143
We got our rear end in,
we got the four-link
and everything established,
307
00:15:31,143 --> 00:15:33,010
so that locates
our wheel base.
308
00:15:33,810 --> 00:15:35,410
It's gonna be low
to the ground,
309
00:15:35,410 --> 00:15:37,443
so I wanna put the fender
super low.
310
00:15:37,510 --> 00:15:40,043
And I wanna use
an older style fender
311
00:15:40,043 --> 00:15:41,610
on the outside
of this Wrecker bed
312
00:15:41,610 --> 00:15:43,810
so it looks kinda
nostalgic, right.
313
00:15:46,410 --> 00:15:49,109
So the next step is getting
the shape of the bed.
314
00:15:49,109 --> 00:15:51,884
We're gonna sit some
flat bar up here
315
00:15:51,884 --> 00:15:52,209
We're gonna sit some
flat bar up here
316
00:15:53,309 --> 00:15:55,710
and kinda eyeball the shape,
317
00:15:55,710 --> 00:15:57,610
just the overall height,
the width.
318
00:15:58,743 --> 00:16:00,910
I need a little slope
on the back.
319
00:16:00,910 --> 00:16:02,743
-[Ryan] Maybe like
right here?
-Yeah.
320
00:16:02,810 --> 00:16:05,710
So we have some
measurements to go by.
321
00:16:05,710 --> 00:16:07,610
I know it doesn't
look like much right now,
322
00:16:07,610 --> 00:16:11,209
it just looks like a bunch
of scrap metal in a pile.
323
00:16:11,209 --> 00:16:13,043
But, you know,
everything's established
324
00:16:13,109 --> 00:16:17,910
with these quick little pieces
of flat bar, angle tubing
tacked into place
325
00:16:17,910 --> 00:16:20,043
to give us a great shape
to start with.
326
00:16:20,109 --> 00:16:21,884
[Ryan] Yeah!
327
00:16:21,884 --> 00:16:21,943
[Ryan] Yeah!
328
00:16:25,309 --> 00:16:29,510
I'm gonna make a template
around the side of this cab
with some chipboard.
329
00:16:29,510 --> 00:16:33,109
That way this 2x2
that we set in here has
this perfect shape to it
330
00:16:33,109 --> 00:16:35,910
to make all this actually
flow into the cab,
331
00:16:35,910 --> 00:16:38,510
make it look
like it's supposed
to be like that.
332
00:16:38,510 --> 00:16:41,910
So to get that shape
that we're looking for that we
made on our template,
333
00:16:41,910 --> 00:16:44,510
all I did was just
roll this 2x2,
334
00:16:44,510 --> 00:16:48,243
gave it a nice contour
as close as I could get
to the edge of this cab.
335
00:16:48,309 --> 00:16:49,543
That's it.
336
00:16:49,610 --> 00:16:51,884
And then made
a little relief cut in here.
337
00:16:51,884 --> 00:16:51,910
And then made
a little relief cut in here.
338
00:16:51,910 --> 00:16:55,743
The metal will naturally wanna
try and banana curl, you know.
339
00:16:55,810 --> 00:16:59,143
So added a little bit
more pressure and guided it
where I wanted it.
340
00:16:59,143 --> 00:17:03,143
Then I can just come in
with a piece of 10-guage
and fill that in, weld it,
341
00:17:04,510 --> 00:17:07,043
grind it smooth,
and you'll never know.
342
00:17:07,109 --> 00:17:11,410
See now how that transition
is smooth, it's perfect
to the side of the cab.
343
00:17:11,410 --> 00:17:14,443
So we have that same gap
all the way down,
the whole way.
344
00:17:14,510 --> 00:17:17,510
Put it up to the paint sticks,
throw some tack on there,
get some weld,
345
00:17:19,043 --> 00:17:20,543
grind the weld off,
346
00:17:20,543 --> 00:17:21,884
and it'll look
like it's all one piece
rolled all the way out.
347
00:17:21,884 --> 00:17:23,143
and it'll look
like it's all one piece
rolled all the way out.
348
00:17:23,143 --> 00:17:24,910
Of course, this is made long
right now.
349
00:17:24,910 --> 00:17:27,209
Wherever it'll tie in
will get cut down.
350
00:17:34,710 --> 00:17:38,309
[Bill] You know,
the '52 Wrecker is for sure
what I call a ground-up build.
351
00:17:38,309 --> 00:17:43,410
We built the custom frame,
suspension, and making
the entire bed from scratch.
352
00:17:43,410 --> 00:17:46,910
Once we're done there will not
be another one like it.
353
00:17:46,910 --> 00:17:49,309
So now that Bill and I
have the frame laid out
354
00:17:49,309 --> 00:17:53,610
on what we want the bed
to look like, what structure
we want it to take.
355
00:17:53,610 --> 00:17:57,209
I'm gonna take these pieces
of pipe that I have cut,
356
00:17:57,209 --> 00:17:59,174
I'll clamp it to this frame
that we have made right here,
connect the dots,
357
00:17:59,174 --> 00:18:01,143
I'll clamp it to this frame
that we have made right here,
connect the dots,
358
00:18:01,143 --> 00:18:04,910
and then once I have some sort
of frame structure
359
00:18:06,043 --> 00:18:07,309
I can get rid
of all this stuff
360
00:18:07,309 --> 00:18:10,010
and we can stand back
and look at what we got.
361
00:18:10,010 --> 00:18:13,043
And add anything
or do whatever we want
from that point forward.
362
00:18:13,109 --> 00:18:15,209
Might tear it apart,
might keep it,
we don't know yet.
363
00:18:20,043 --> 00:18:22,443
Just like we did here,
we gonna do it in pipe now,
364
00:18:22,510 --> 00:18:25,643
so this lines up perfect
with the back of the cab,
the whole thing.
365
00:18:25,710 --> 00:18:27,309
And then it keeps
shooting out,
366
00:18:27,309 --> 00:18:29,174
so we're gonna
have to just roll it
right here on this corner.
367
00:18:29,174 --> 00:18:30,243
so we're gonna
have to just roll it
right here on this corner.
368
00:18:35,343 --> 00:18:38,510
Pretty doggone good,
I'll tell ya. Tell ya what.
369
00:18:45,910 --> 00:18:48,810
Doing one side of anything
is always super simple,
370
00:18:48,810 --> 00:18:52,043
it's mirroring it
that is the pain in the butt.
371
00:18:52,043 --> 00:18:56,243
I'm gonna try and make myself
some type of jig like that we
got going on over there,
372
00:18:56,309 --> 00:18:58,843
some type of framing
to where I can kinda
set this in
373
00:18:58,910 --> 00:18:59,174
and get it tacked in
just like I did on that side.
374
00:18:59,174 --> 00:19:01,209
and get it tacked in
just like I did on that side.
375
00:19:08,209 --> 00:19:09,910
Let's see if this
is the right height.
376
00:19:11,143 --> 00:19:12,943
We're not so different
you and I.
377
00:19:16,309 --> 00:19:18,843
Now you can
kinda see the direction
that we're going.
378
00:19:18,910 --> 00:19:21,410
We got the shape now
and everything's, you know,
looking good.
379
00:19:21,410 --> 00:19:22,543
This is gonna
look really cool.
380
00:19:22,543 --> 00:19:25,043
We'll keep on adding
some pieces to the puzzle.
381
00:19:29,510 --> 00:19:32,209
All right, so we just
finished up on our
tubular frame here.
382
00:19:32,209 --> 00:19:35,510
Main reason why we use
the tubing is because
we like that roll,
383
00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:36,610
we like the radius of it.
384
00:19:36,610 --> 00:19:38,343
So now that we've got
our base done
385
00:19:38,410 --> 00:19:39,943
now we can start getting
into the fun part,
386
00:19:40,010 --> 00:19:41,610
bending and rolling
some sheet metal
387
00:19:41,610 --> 00:19:45,109
and really start seeing
this thing transform
and take shape.
388
00:19:45,910 --> 00:19:47,443
Gonna be pretty cool.
389
00:19:55,109 --> 00:19:59,109
We're adding hydraulic
cylinders under the bed
of the '23 Polaris Ranger.
390
00:19:59,109 --> 00:19:59,174
You know,
once that's installed
it's gonna lift and articulate
391
00:19:59,174 --> 00:20:02,309
You know,
once that's installed
it's gonna lift and articulate
392
00:20:02,309 --> 00:20:04,309
and that's what's gonna be
our dancing bed.
393
00:20:06,243 --> 00:20:09,109
Uh, the tough part about this,
394
00:20:09,109 --> 00:20:12,209
part of it is making sure
that the cylinders,
everything is in line.
395
00:20:12,209 --> 00:20:14,510
If you don't get everything
aligned properly,
396
00:20:14,510 --> 00:20:16,943
you know, you're gonna end up
twisting your bed
397
00:20:17,010 --> 00:20:19,209
or it not going up properly.
398
00:20:19,209 --> 00:20:20,543
And it's gonna look
kinda cockeyed
399
00:20:20,610 --> 00:20:23,143
so you wanna make sure
everything is just straight.
400
00:20:25,209 --> 00:20:27,309
[Marco] On these cylinders
normally on a lowrider,
401
00:20:27,309 --> 00:20:29,174
you know, we'll probably push,
you know, 5,000 maybe 8,000
PSI into the cylinder.
402
00:20:29,174 --> 00:20:31,943
you know, we'll probably push,
you know, 5,000 maybe 8,000
PSI into the cylinder.
403
00:20:32,010 --> 00:20:34,543
In a hopper you can push
anywhere between
404
00:20:34,610 --> 00:20:37,410
10,000 to 15,000 PSI
into these cylinders.
405
00:20:37,410 --> 00:20:39,910
So with this little tilt
it's gonna handle it
no problem.
406
00:20:42,309 --> 00:20:44,610
Make it run, like, 1.5 across.
407
00:20:44,610 --> 00:20:46,810
That way you'll have your legs
to be able to attach this.
408
00:20:48,309 --> 00:20:50,443
Twenty-five and 3/4.
409
00:20:54,143 --> 00:20:58,510
All right, we got the material
cut for stage two,
cylinder three.
410
00:20:58,510 --> 00:20:59,174
We're gonna go mock it up
and weld it in place.
411
00:20:59,174 --> 00:21:00,443
We're gonna go mock it up
and weld it in place.
412
00:21:04,510 --> 00:21:07,610
Challenge wise is making sure
the cylinders mount
413
00:21:07,610 --> 00:21:09,010
on each stage
is in the right spot.
414
00:21:09,543 --> 00:21:11,076
We got hydraulic hoses
415
00:21:11,076 --> 00:21:13,010
that are gonna be mounted
on the top sides
of the cylinders.
416
00:21:13,010 --> 00:21:15,443
They can pull,
cause failure,
417
00:21:15,510 --> 00:21:19,343
and then the hose
comes down, the whole
bed's coming.
418
00:21:19,410 --> 00:21:21,943
So everything has to clear,
if not it'll be a disaster.
419
00:21:23,810 --> 00:21:25,943
Okay, so now we got
all four stages,
420
00:21:26,010 --> 00:21:27,710
cylinders in place,
tack welded.
421
00:21:27,710 --> 00:21:29,174
We're gonna
give it a final test
of all four stages.
422
00:21:29,174 --> 00:21:31,343
We're gonna
give it a final test
of all four stages.
423
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:37,209
[Shorty] Looks
like pretty good.
It's, uh, it's functional.
424
00:21:37,209 --> 00:21:39,443
We'll just weld it in
and start on the bed.
425
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:41,309
Looks like we got ourselves
a bed dancer.
426
00:21:41,309 --> 00:21:43,710
Let's finish it up. Get ready
to pop some wheelies
with this thing, huh?
427
00:21:50,910 --> 00:21:54,710
We're gonna install
the hydraulic pump
and the dump valve assembly.
428
00:21:54,710 --> 00:21:58,209
It's an eight valve system,
so it uses four valves
to open,
429
00:21:58,209 --> 00:21:59,174
and four valves
to release the pressure.
430
00:21:59,174 --> 00:22:00,143
and four valves
to release the pressure.
431
00:22:00,209 --> 00:22:01,910
Basically, whenever
you hit your switch
432
00:22:01,910 --> 00:22:04,910
it's gonna send
a signal to this terminal
on the solenoid.
433
00:22:04,910 --> 00:22:06,643
We have power
coming in on one side,
434
00:22:06,710 --> 00:22:07,777
so it's gonna open up,
435
00:22:07,777 --> 00:22:09,643
it's gonna send power
to this side of the relay,
436
00:22:09,710 --> 00:22:10,910
which is gonna
come to the motor,
437
00:22:10,910 --> 00:22:13,410
motor spins,
turns the gear inside,
438
00:22:13,410 --> 00:22:15,243
pushes the oil
out through this hose,
439
00:22:15,309 --> 00:22:16,910
it's gonna run to the valve,
440
00:22:16,910 --> 00:22:18,510
and then these valves
are gonna control
441
00:22:18,510 --> 00:22:20,043
which movement on which stage.
442
00:22:24,109 --> 00:22:26,209
So first thing's first,
we're gonna mount the pump.
443
00:22:26,209 --> 00:22:27,710
So we've already made
our bracket.
444
00:22:27,710 --> 00:22:29,174
This is what the pump's
gonna mount up to,
445
00:22:29,174 --> 00:22:29,643
This is what the pump's
gonna mount up to,
446
00:22:29,710 --> 00:22:31,843
and we welded it straight
to the frame of the truck.
447
00:22:36,243 --> 00:22:38,410
All right, so we got
the pump mounted in.
448
00:22:38,410 --> 00:22:40,143
We're gonna go ahead and mount
the manifold in place,
449
00:22:40,209 --> 00:22:41,343
We'll mount it
on the first stage.
450
00:22:43,843 --> 00:22:46,309
[Marcos] So this manifold
is gonna send up fluid
451
00:22:46,309 --> 00:22:47,910
to each individual stage.
452
00:22:47,910 --> 00:22:50,943
So they're labeled
cylinder one, two,
three, four.
453
00:22:51,010 --> 00:22:52,810
And that's gonna
correspond to which stage.
454
00:22:52,810 --> 00:22:54,910
So this'll be stage one,
455
00:22:54,910 --> 00:22:56,810
stage two, stage three,
and stage four.
456
00:22:57,510 --> 00:22:58,910
So whenever we run our hoses,
457
00:22:58,910 --> 00:22:59,174
we have to make sure
our wire's made up
458
00:22:59,174 --> 00:23:00,410
we have to make sure
our wire's made up
459
00:23:00,410 --> 00:23:02,910
to which dump is actually
opening at the same time.
460
00:23:04,309 --> 00:23:05,910
[Nicholas] Okay,
so the manifold's in place.
461
00:23:05,910 --> 00:23:08,910
Next thing we're gonna do
is go ahead and start
running the hoses.
462
00:23:08,910 --> 00:23:11,309
What's up, pooch?
I don't need no kisses.
463
00:23:11,309 --> 00:23:13,810
So on the first stage,
means it's two cylinders.
464
00:23:13,810 --> 00:23:16,710
We actually have a single hose
that's gonna T-off.
465
00:23:16,710 --> 00:23:18,610
Means it's only a single port.
466
00:23:18,610 --> 00:23:21,710
That way it can control
both cylinders off of one side
of the manifold.
467
00:23:25,143 --> 00:23:26,410
Move on to stage three.
468
00:23:33,510 --> 00:23:35,710
Now stage four.
469
00:23:35,710 --> 00:23:38,810
[Marcos] So right now it may
look like there's a lot of
extra hose in here,
470
00:23:38,810 --> 00:23:40,410
but once the stages
start opening up,
471
00:23:40,410 --> 00:23:43,010
you have to leave room for
the movement of the stages
472
00:23:43,010 --> 00:23:44,309
'cause the cylinders
are actually gonna move
473
00:23:44,343 --> 00:23:46,443
further away from the valve,
so you need that extra slack.
474
00:23:46,510 --> 00:23:47,810
Then it also doesn't
touch the engine
475
00:23:47,810 --> 00:23:49,543
and melt through
the casing on the hose.
476
00:23:49,610 --> 00:23:51,309
'Cause the hoses here,
if they sit there
477
00:23:51,309 --> 00:23:52,543
and rub, rub, rub, rub,
478
00:23:52,610 --> 00:23:53,643
you end up
putting a hole in it,
479
00:23:53,710 --> 00:23:54,710
pouring oil everywhere,
480
00:23:54,710 --> 00:23:55,843
and you have a big old mess.
481
00:23:59,910 --> 00:24:02,143
[Marcos] Oh, I'm gonna run
the hose from the, uh,
482
00:24:02,209 --> 00:24:04,043
the pressure off the pump
so we can start
483
00:24:04,043 --> 00:24:05,743
running it up towards
the valve clinoid.
484
00:24:10,043 --> 00:24:12,209
We're gonna go ahead
and do the little test.
485
00:24:13,109 --> 00:24:14,209
See how it flows.
486
00:24:28,309 --> 00:24:29,174
Hoses are all connected,
they all fit properly,
487
00:24:29,174 --> 00:24:31,043
Hoses are all connected,
they all fit properly,
488
00:24:31,043 --> 00:24:32,743
we're good to go, ready to
mount the bed,
489
00:24:33,610 --> 00:24:34,910
put some fluid in the pump,
490
00:24:35,710 --> 00:24:36,943
start dancing this bed.
491
00:24:48,243 --> 00:24:50,710
[Bill] Shorty and his sons
are doing an excellent job
492
00:24:50,710 --> 00:24:52,943
on the dancing bed
for that '23 Ranger.
493
00:24:53,010 --> 00:24:54,309
You know, only thing
left to do
494
00:24:54,309 --> 00:24:56,309
is tack it all up
and give it a test.
495
00:24:57,443 --> 00:25:00,610
Okay, the bed is on,
everything else is in place,
496
00:25:00,610 --> 00:25:02,343
and we're gonna
attach a bracket
497
00:25:02,410 --> 00:25:04,610
from the bed to the top rack.
498
00:25:04,610 --> 00:25:08,610
That way the bed stays
moving with this rack on top.
499
00:25:08,610 --> 00:25:09,771
And after that,
it's gonna be time to test it.
500
00:25:09,771 --> 00:25:11,209
And after that,
it's gonna be time to test it.
501
00:25:11,209 --> 00:25:12,410
These are temporary brackets.
502
00:25:12,410 --> 00:25:15,410
But the tabs that we tacked
onto the stage here
503
00:25:15,410 --> 00:25:16,743
are gonna be drilled
and tapped,
504
00:25:16,810 --> 00:25:17,910
and we'll be able
to bolt them in.
505
00:25:17,910 --> 00:25:19,643
That way they're able
to be removeable.
506
00:25:21,309 --> 00:25:22,910
From here we're gonna
run the final wires,
507
00:25:22,910 --> 00:25:25,943
put oil on the pump,
and test it out,
see what we have.
508
00:25:28,810 --> 00:25:29,843
Right amount of oil.
509
00:25:29,910 --> 00:25:31,710
Next we're gonna connect
510
00:25:31,710 --> 00:25:33,710
our wires that are running
to our valves in the back
511
00:25:33,710 --> 00:25:36,710
to our switch cord, and then
we also have our switch power.
512
00:25:36,710 --> 00:25:39,410
That's gonna get connected,
and the only other thing is
513
00:25:39,410 --> 00:25:39,771
our power from our battery
to our clinoid,
514
00:25:39,771 --> 00:25:41,743
our power from our battery
to our clinoid,
515
00:25:41,810 --> 00:25:43,143
and we'll be ready to test.
516
00:25:45,610 --> 00:25:47,610
So now that these
are wired in,
517
00:25:47,610 --> 00:25:49,510
this is gonna be,
uh, your first stage,
518
00:25:49,510 --> 00:25:51,443
second stage, third stage,
fourth stage,
519
00:25:51,510 --> 00:25:53,410
and then up is,
you know, raising,
520
00:25:53,410 --> 00:25:55,243
and then down is dumping it.
521
00:25:55,309 --> 00:25:56,510
Moment of truth!
522
00:26:06,209 --> 00:26:07,309
Look at that.
523
00:26:07,309 --> 00:26:08,843
-Yeah, nice.
-We got ourselves
a bed dancer.
524
00:26:09,643 --> 00:26:09,771
All right, mission complete.
525
00:26:09,771 --> 00:26:11,010
All right, mission complete.
526
00:26:11,010 --> 00:26:13,610
Man, I don't know
if Bill knows
what he got himself into.
527
00:26:14,910 --> 00:26:16,710
Now it's time to
take it back apart
528
00:26:16,710 --> 00:26:17,910
and get everything
powder coated.
529
00:26:17,910 --> 00:26:19,010
[Marcos] We gotta hide
the switch box
530
00:26:19,010 --> 00:26:20,343
from the guys in the shop.
531
00:26:20,410 --> 00:26:22,043
[all laughing]
532
00:26:30,810 --> 00:26:32,343
[Bill] Even just having
the frame built
533
00:26:32,410 --> 00:26:33,743
for that '52 wrecker bed,
534
00:26:33,810 --> 00:26:35,443
it's looking really,
really cool.
535
00:26:35,510 --> 00:26:37,309
Now Ryan's gonna make it
look even cooler
536
00:26:37,309 --> 00:26:39,771
with a lot of fab work
and a lot of sheet metal.
537
00:26:39,771 --> 00:26:39,810
with a lot of fab work
and a lot of sheet metal.
538
00:26:41,910 --> 00:26:43,510
So now with
the whole frame built,
539
00:26:43,510 --> 00:26:45,510
now we can start
the sheet metal process.
540
00:26:45,510 --> 00:26:47,043
The best part
of the whole build,
541
00:26:47,043 --> 00:26:49,843
getting to design
the whole look of it.
542
00:26:54,743 --> 00:26:57,209
So from here on out,
it's just a bunch of bending
543
00:26:57,209 --> 00:26:58,309
and cutting and trimming,
544
00:26:58,309 --> 00:27:00,209
and, you know, giving
this thing some character.
545
00:27:02,043 --> 00:27:04,043
Go ahead, jog it.
546
00:27:04,109 --> 00:27:06,610
[Bill] It's cool, you know.
Each angle you put on it,
547
00:27:06,610 --> 00:27:09,543
it totally changes the look
of this wrecker bed.
548
00:27:09,610 --> 00:27:09,771
We need to bend this
a little bit more.
549
00:27:09,771 --> 00:27:11,410
We need to bend this
a little bit more.
550
00:27:11,410 --> 00:27:13,043
So it goes...
551
00:27:13,043 --> 00:27:15,410
You're creating
the attitude of the truck.
552
00:27:15,410 --> 00:27:18,610
You're creating the photos
it's gonna be taking
553
00:27:18,610 --> 00:27:20,610
a couple months from now,
a couple years from now.
554
00:27:20,610 --> 00:27:22,410
You're creating those
cool little lines
555
00:27:22,410 --> 00:27:23,643
that people are gonna
talk about
556
00:27:23,710 --> 00:27:25,243
and get the buzz about.
557
00:27:25,243 --> 00:27:28,010
So it's kinda cool,
each time we put a piece
of metal in place
558
00:27:28,010 --> 00:27:30,510
you're creating a cool truck.
559
00:27:30,510 --> 00:27:32,109
And it's gonna be
a memorable truck.
560
00:27:36,143 --> 00:27:37,443
We're gonna do some trim trim.
561
00:27:38,410 --> 00:27:39,771
You know what I mean,
we're gonna
562
00:27:39,771 --> 00:27:39,910
You know what I mean,
we're gonna
563
00:27:39,910 --> 00:27:42,743
work our asses off all day
564
00:27:42,810 --> 00:27:45,410
either way, we might as well
get to create
565
00:27:45,410 --> 00:27:47,643
- and make some cool stuff
and really be...
-[Ryan] Yeah
566
00:27:47,710 --> 00:27:50,510
[Bill] ...extra rewarded
when you get done with
stuff like this.
567
00:27:58,143 --> 00:27:59,710
[Ryan] I'm gonna
remember it too.
568
00:27:59,710 --> 00:28:01,410
-Good job, Ryan.
-I've been stuck on it
569
00:28:01,410 --> 00:28:02,643
-for too long.
-What I'm trying to say is,
570
00:28:02,710 --> 00:28:04,443
-man, you do an okay job.
-[laughs]
571
00:28:05,209 --> 00:28:06,510
It's pretty okay.
572
00:28:06,510 --> 00:28:08,209
-[laughs]
-It's pretty okay.
573
00:28:12,510 --> 00:28:13,643
All right, so now that
we got the shape
574
00:28:13,710 --> 00:28:15,143
of what we're gonna go with,
575
00:28:15,143 --> 00:28:17,243
what we're gonna start with
is this first panel here.
576
00:28:17,309 --> 00:28:20,410
We'll get it buttoned up
and tek screwed in.
577
00:28:20,410 --> 00:28:21,910
And then we'll get
to the cool part,
578
00:28:21,910 --> 00:28:23,910
cutting it all out,
putting the fenders on
579
00:28:23,910 --> 00:28:26,843
and really seeing exactly
what this is gonna look like.
580
00:28:28,910 --> 00:28:31,410
This is great being able
to create stuff like this
581
00:28:31,410 --> 00:28:34,410
and just kinda going off
a general idea
582
00:28:34,410 --> 00:28:37,410
and seeing what
you're capable of doing.
583
00:28:37,410 --> 00:28:39,010
We've all been doing this
for a long time,
584
00:28:39,010 --> 00:28:39,771
but, you know,
there's always curveballs,
585
00:28:39,771 --> 00:28:40,643
but, you know,
there's always curveballs,
586
00:28:40,710 --> 00:28:42,143
and there's always something
new every single day,
587
00:28:42,209 --> 00:28:44,010
and there's always
something new to learn.
588
00:28:44,010 --> 00:28:46,309
And, you know, this is just
exciting to me,
589
00:28:46,309 --> 00:28:48,910
you know, being able
to use my brain a little bit.
590
00:28:50,309 --> 00:28:52,743
[singing] Tracing you.
591
00:28:56,743 --> 00:28:59,343
I'm just trying to
get the seam lined up
right here...
592
00:29:00,810 --> 00:29:02,943
...so that the transition
from here to here
593
00:29:03,010 --> 00:29:04,710
is aligned all the way down,
594
00:29:04,710 --> 00:29:07,143
and there's not any
wavy spots or anything.
595
00:29:07,209 --> 00:29:09,771
So keeping this straight
is the only thing
I got to worry about.
596
00:29:09,771 --> 00:29:10,209
So keeping this straight
is the only thing
I got to worry about.
597
00:29:10,209 --> 00:29:12,710
Everything else will just
fall in place after that.
598
00:29:12,710 --> 00:29:14,643
Running the straight edge
all the way down,
599
00:29:14,710 --> 00:29:17,143
and when it meets, put a tek
all the way down
600
00:29:17,209 --> 00:29:19,043
till you get all the way
to the bottom.
601
00:29:19,043 --> 00:29:21,543
And we know right here
is the top of
our running board,
602
00:29:21,610 --> 00:29:23,143
so all I gotta do
is just make sure
603
00:29:23,209 --> 00:29:24,843
that line continues
all the way through.
604
00:29:24,910 --> 00:29:26,343
Might need to come back
and tweak,
605
00:29:26,410 --> 00:29:28,443
so we'll just leave
these few teks on here
for right now
606
00:29:28,510 --> 00:29:29,543
just in case we gotta
pop it off,
607
00:29:29,610 --> 00:29:31,543
we're not grinding
everything out.
608
00:29:31,610 --> 00:29:33,443
But, uh, it's looking good,
feel good about it.
609
00:29:33,510 --> 00:29:37,143
So move on down and, uh,
work on the next piece.
610
00:29:45,209 --> 00:29:47,510
All right, I got this
last piece fit up real nice.
611
00:29:48,209 --> 00:29:51,209
Gonna tek this in,
612
00:29:51,209 --> 00:29:52,910
it's mucho bueno there.
613
00:29:54,109 --> 00:29:56,343
Then we'll move around
to the back.
614
00:29:58,343 --> 00:29:59,510
Oh, yeah.
615
00:30:01,910 --> 00:30:03,109
One more.
616
00:30:04,810 --> 00:30:06,510
Mmm-hmm.
617
00:30:06,510 --> 00:30:09,510
Get a fender on this thing,
it'll look even cooler.
618
00:30:09,510 --> 00:30:09,771
You want to see it
with the fender on?
619
00:30:09,771 --> 00:30:10,743
You want to see it
with the fender on?
620
00:30:12,243 --> 00:30:14,710
Already have some measurements
of where the wheel is,
621
00:30:14,710 --> 00:30:16,143
I'll make some lines.
622
00:30:19,410 --> 00:30:21,410
Get the plasma
over here, cut this out.
623
00:30:24,743 --> 00:30:26,209
There she goes.
624
00:30:37,710 --> 00:30:39,771
And then we can
take our fender, mock it up,
625
00:30:39,771 --> 00:30:39,810
And then we can
take our fender, mock it up,
626
00:30:39,810 --> 00:30:41,643
and get it where
it needs to be.
627
00:30:43,109 --> 00:30:45,510
Now that the fender's on,
you can actually see,
628
00:30:45,510 --> 00:30:47,410
you know, what we've been
seeing the whole time.
629
00:30:47,410 --> 00:30:49,443
Now it's really starting
to take shape and,
630
00:30:49,510 --> 00:30:51,810
man, it looks super cool,
it looks really nice,
631
00:30:51,810 --> 00:30:54,510
especially with this
running board that we're gonna
build in here.
632
00:30:54,510 --> 00:30:56,143
I wish it was
coming home with me.
633
00:31:03,910 --> 00:31:05,410
You know, it's a big project,
so we're gonna be
634
00:31:05,410 --> 00:31:07,443
bending and shaping
a whole lot of metal
635
00:31:07,510 --> 00:31:09,209
on this '52 wrecker bed.
636
00:31:09,209 --> 00:31:11,309
There's nothing quick
or easy about it,
637
00:31:11,309 --> 00:31:13,343
Ryan's gotta make
everything by hand.
638
00:31:13,410 --> 00:31:15,543
All right, so now that
we got all the sheet metal
work done
639
00:31:15,610 --> 00:31:17,710
with the outside of the bed,
we're gonna move inside now.
640
00:31:17,710 --> 00:31:20,443
Came up with this little
template if you will,
641
00:31:20,510 --> 00:31:22,043
something that we
kind of made up.
642
00:31:22,109 --> 00:31:24,443
We want to see if
it'll look good or not.
643
00:31:25,543 --> 00:31:27,209
So we know it fits
this right here,
644
00:31:27,209 --> 00:31:28,399
but as you can see,
the bed tapers
and slopes down.
645
00:31:28,399 --> 00:31:30,743
but as you can see,
the bed tapers
and slopes down.
646
00:31:30,810 --> 00:31:32,910
So I can just measure
to the bottom of it,
647
00:31:32,910 --> 00:31:36,143
and we got 8 3/8ths and...
648
00:31:37,309 --> 00:31:38,543
...6 3/4ths.
649
00:31:38,610 --> 00:31:40,109
I'll go bend me
a piece real quick.
650
00:31:40,810 --> 00:31:41,843
We'll see what it looks like.
651
00:31:46,443 --> 00:31:48,309
So I'll take a piece
of sheet metal,
652
00:31:48,309 --> 00:31:50,343
and I'll break it and put
this roll in it,
653
00:31:50,410 --> 00:31:52,143
put that bend in it.
654
00:31:52,143 --> 00:31:53,610
So then that will
give us the shape
655
00:31:53,610 --> 00:31:55,810
of what the inside of the bed
will look like,
656
00:31:55,810 --> 00:31:58,010
and then we can go
from this point out.
657
00:31:58,610 --> 00:32:00,109
19...
658
00:32:01,810 --> 00:32:03,043
19 inches.
659
00:32:05,710 --> 00:32:07,410
You're starting with one piece
660
00:32:07,410 --> 00:32:11,143
and trying to make that flow
through your entire build.
661
00:32:14,510 --> 00:32:16,643
You know, there's a lot
of times we do this stuff,
662
00:32:16,710 --> 00:32:19,410
and it might look right,
but it might be off
663
00:32:19,410 --> 00:32:21,309
1/8th inch down at the bottom,
and you gotta start over.
664
00:32:21,309 --> 00:32:23,943
So a lot of these pieces
are just trial and error,
665
00:32:24,010 --> 00:32:26,043
even though, you know,
we got a kinda
666
00:32:26,043 --> 00:32:27,943
certain direction
that we want to go with.
667
00:32:28,010 --> 00:32:28,399
So, you know,
bending all this stuff
668
00:32:28,399 --> 00:32:30,209
So, you know,
bending all this stuff
669
00:32:30,209 --> 00:32:32,710
and, you know, standing back
and looking at it.
670
00:32:32,710 --> 00:32:34,343
This is one of those times
in the build
671
00:32:34,410 --> 00:32:36,209
that takes forever, but...
672
00:32:37,343 --> 00:32:38,910
...you know, in the end,
it's worth it.
673
00:32:38,910 --> 00:32:40,010
You know, put a little bit
of extra time,
674
00:32:40,010 --> 00:32:42,810
and we're gonna have
4,000 bends
675
00:32:42,810 --> 00:32:44,209
in the bed of this truck.
676
00:32:44,209 --> 00:32:46,343
So, you know, just doing this
over and over and over
677
00:32:46,410 --> 00:32:48,510
and trying to stick with
that one shape
678
00:32:48,510 --> 00:32:50,309
and that one look
is, you know,
679
00:32:50,309 --> 00:32:51,910
really important
at this point.
680
00:32:51,910 --> 00:32:54,910
So, you know, if it don't
look right, start over.
681
00:32:57,610 --> 00:32:58,399
So now that we got
this third piece in place
right here,
682
00:32:58,399 --> 00:32:59,710
So now that we got
this third piece in place
right here,
683
00:32:59,710 --> 00:33:02,243
now you can see what
one complete side of the bed
684
00:33:02,309 --> 00:33:04,610
will look like
on the inner structure here.
685
00:33:04,610 --> 00:33:06,143
So we can continue on
with the front,
686
00:33:06,209 --> 00:33:07,309
we're gonna keep at it.
687
00:33:12,743 --> 00:33:15,143
All right, we got our
driver-side fender well in,
688
00:33:15,209 --> 00:33:17,209
tacked up, leveled
and everything.
689
00:33:17,209 --> 00:33:19,410
So we got the straight edge
going across.
690
00:33:19,410 --> 00:33:20,710
We can start at the fun part
691
00:33:20,710 --> 00:33:23,209
and start piecing
the whole floor together,
692
00:33:23,209 --> 00:33:24,510
doing sheet metal work
693
00:33:24,510 --> 00:33:27,343
and getting rid of
the seeing the frame,
694
00:33:27,410 --> 00:33:28,399
and you can actually see
the whole bed
here in a minute.
695
00:33:28,399 --> 00:33:29,710
and you can actually see
the whole bed
here in a minute.
696
00:33:29,710 --> 00:33:31,443
So we'll get this tacked in...
697
00:33:32,610 --> 00:33:33,843
...and move on to the floor.
698
00:33:35,610 --> 00:33:37,543
All right, so we got
both of our fenders in.
699
00:33:37,610 --> 00:33:39,410
They're both square,
700
00:33:39,410 --> 00:33:41,810
level true to the bed
and everything.
701
00:33:41,810 --> 00:33:44,109
So now we can start
with our sheet metal floor
702
00:33:44,109 --> 00:33:45,810
and seeing what design
we want to go with.
703
00:33:45,810 --> 00:33:48,610
We have all this open space
to work with,
704
00:33:48,610 --> 00:33:50,743
and, you know,
unlimited options.
705
00:33:50,810 --> 00:33:53,309
We'll figure out
what we want to do
and keep on rolling.
706
00:33:56,143 --> 00:33:58,399
This wrecker build's been
one of the biggest we've had
707
00:33:58,399 --> 00:33:58,610
This wrecker build's been
one of the biggest we've had
708
00:33:58,610 --> 00:34:00,010
over the last few years.
709
00:34:00,010 --> 00:34:01,209
But other than the cab,
710
00:34:01,209 --> 00:34:02,743
we've had to build
everything by hand.
711
00:34:04,109 --> 00:34:06,143
Just like the bed, we've made
really good progress,
712
00:34:06,209 --> 00:34:08,143
but we can't finish it
until the boom's made.
713
00:34:08,209 --> 00:34:10,043
But that's something
we've never done before,
714
00:34:10,109 --> 00:34:11,943
like pretty much
everything else on this job.
715
00:34:13,309 --> 00:34:15,610
It'll take a lot of work,
but we're gonna
get it figured out.
716
00:34:15,610 --> 00:34:17,643
And then we can finally
look to getting this truck
717
00:34:17,710 --> 00:34:18,910
back on the road.
718
00:34:27,410 --> 00:34:28,399
You know, I had a mini-truck
way back in the '90s.
719
00:34:28,399 --> 00:34:29,610
You know, I had a mini-truck
way back in the '90s.
720
00:34:29,610 --> 00:34:31,143
I want to bring
some of that style
721
00:34:31,143 --> 00:34:32,443
into the brand new Ranger.
722
00:34:32,510 --> 00:34:34,810
You know, what better
throwback than a dancing bed?
723
00:34:34,810 --> 00:34:36,643
A custom camper and of course,
724
00:34:36,710 --> 00:34:38,243
a big stereo system.
725
00:34:38,309 --> 00:34:40,309
And right now,
John's out there filling it
726
00:34:40,309 --> 00:34:42,209
with a ton of subs.
727
00:34:42,209 --> 00:34:44,043
[John] Every woofer
has specifications
728
00:34:44,109 --> 00:34:46,143
that you have to follow
to get the optimal sound,
729
00:34:46,209 --> 00:34:47,710
get everything to work right.
730
00:34:47,710 --> 00:34:50,043
And I've got some great
measurements inside here
731
00:34:50,043 --> 00:34:52,309
that'll make it easy
to get the airspace I need.
732
00:34:53,043 --> 00:34:54,343
It's this is the problem.
733
00:34:55,410 --> 00:34:56,810
This.
734
00:35:00,410 --> 00:35:03,209
So for this box,
we're gonna be using
expanded PVC.
735
00:35:03,209 --> 00:35:05,043
We're doing a full
marine system
736
00:35:05,043 --> 00:35:06,710
inside of this side-by-side.
737
00:35:06,710 --> 00:35:08,910
That way, we won't
have to worry about
any of the elements.
738
00:35:09,910 --> 00:35:11,043
Off to the races.
739
00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:12,810
Let me know when you're done.
740
00:35:12,810 --> 00:35:14,410
We really want to go
with something that's good
741
00:35:14,410 --> 00:35:15,910
and structurally sound.
742
00:35:15,910 --> 00:35:18,843
You know, this thing
being 12, 14 feet in the air,
743
00:35:18,910 --> 00:35:20,243
plus with Bill
on the controls 'cause...
744
00:35:21,309 --> 00:35:22,810
...he's never easy on things.
745
00:35:22,810 --> 00:35:24,209
So we gotta be able
to make sure
746
00:35:24,209 --> 00:35:27,043
that it can withstand
all of that and then some
747
00:35:27,043 --> 00:35:28,399
because I guarantee you
if it can break,
748
00:35:28,399 --> 00:35:29,209
because I guarantee you
if it can break,
749
00:35:29,209 --> 00:35:31,710
Bill will find a way
to break it every time.
750
00:35:35,343 --> 00:35:37,410
What I'm gonna do is just
rough fit this thing together
751
00:35:37,410 --> 00:35:39,810
to see if I can
get it in that opening.
752
00:35:39,810 --> 00:35:41,610
If not, then we can
take it apart,
753
00:35:41,610 --> 00:35:44,143
cut it in half, do whatever
we need to do,
754
00:35:44,143 --> 00:35:45,209
piece it back together,
755
00:35:45,209 --> 00:35:46,443
get it back in
the camper shell.
756
00:35:46,510 --> 00:35:48,143
Why are you fighting me?
757
00:35:48,143 --> 00:35:50,443
Man, why are you fighting me?
I'm trying to do you good.
758
00:35:57,443 --> 00:35:58,399
Perfect.
759
00:35:58,399 --> 00:35:58,510
Perfect.
760
00:36:00,410 --> 00:36:01,943
Now we'll see if it fits.
761
00:36:02,010 --> 00:36:05,309
Oh. Come on, baby.
Looks so close.
762
00:36:07,910 --> 00:36:09,043
I don't give up.
763
00:36:13,510 --> 00:36:15,910
Really happy if fit,
so the next step
764
00:36:15,910 --> 00:36:17,410
is I gotta build
the back half of the box.
765
00:36:17,410 --> 00:36:18,943
That's gonna create
enough airspace
766
00:36:19,010 --> 00:36:20,043
that the subwoofers need.
767
00:36:20,109 --> 00:36:22,209
We're putting two windows
768
00:36:22,209 --> 00:36:24,343
in here to be able
to see inside the box.
769
00:36:24,410 --> 00:36:26,910
We'll get it cut in,
and that'll give us a window
770
00:36:26,910 --> 00:36:28,309
into the subwoofer's world.
771
00:36:29,410 --> 00:36:31,309
So I've already taken
and I've drawn out
772
00:36:31,309 --> 00:36:32,410
the window that I want
773
00:36:32,410 --> 00:36:34,209
to mimic the headlights
on the Ranger.
774
00:36:34,209 --> 00:36:37,043
Get it into my carving program
for my router.
775
00:36:37,109 --> 00:36:38,710
And save.
776
00:36:41,343 --> 00:36:44,309
Pretty thankful that I finally
embraced the technology,
777
00:36:44,309 --> 00:36:46,443
it's really helped out
to make things
778
00:36:46,510 --> 00:36:48,510
a lot easier to deal with.
779
00:36:48,510 --> 00:36:50,843
Back in the day,
this would've just been
780
00:36:50,910 --> 00:36:54,010
all hand done on the router,
duplicating parts and pieces.
781
00:36:54,010 --> 00:36:56,343
Machine does it, we can make
the pieces bigger,
782
00:36:56,410 --> 00:36:57,510
we can make them smaller.
783
00:36:57,510 --> 00:36:58,399
Man, this thing, it just
spits it out over and over,
784
00:36:58,399 --> 00:36:59,943
Man, this thing, it just
spits it out over and over,
785
00:37:00,010 --> 00:37:01,410
and I can go do
something else,
786
00:37:01,410 --> 00:37:03,943
which usually means
I'm gonna go sand something.
787
00:37:04,010 --> 00:37:05,843
It's just a win-win
all the way around.
788
00:37:08,910 --> 00:37:10,710
You know, as I start
to design this,
789
00:37:10,710 --> 00:37:12,810
I've gotta make
the inside of the box
look good.
790
00:37:12,810 --> 00:37:14,143
We gotta dress that up,
791
00:37:14,143 --> 00:37:16,143
just really make
a whole presentation
792
00:37:16,143 --> 00:37:17,710
out of what's gonna be here.
793
00:37:17,710 --> 00:37:20,410
So work a little bit of that
into this whole scenario
794
00:37:20,410 --> 00:37:22,309
and get it kinda built out,
and we'll start
795
00:37:22,309 --> 00:37:24,209
body working it
and molding it all together,
796
00:37:25,043 --> 00:37:26,076
make something cool.
797
00:37:29,209 --> 00:37:30,410
[Shorty] Hydraulics
have been around for
798
00:37:30,410 --> 00:37:31,810
quite a long while now,
799
00:37:31,810 --> 00:37:35,410
early '40s or '50s actually.
800
00:37:35,410 --> 00:37:38,610
It all started with
surplus aircraft equipment.
801
00:37:38,610 --> 00:37:41,510
It was hydraulic pumps
off of the aircraft,
802
00:37:41,510 --> 00:37:43,810
a lot of stuff was
off the landing gear.
803
00:37:43,810 --> 00:37:45,543
And now, I mean,
it's everywhere.
804
00:37:46,410 --> 00:37:48,410
We're a family
oriented business,
805
00:37:48,410 --> 00:37:51,410
and the boys here,
I mean, they grew up
806
00:37:51,410 --> 00:37:52,810
at the shop pretty much,
807
00:37:52,810 --> 00:37:55,543
and they're all pretty
talented on what they do.
808
00:37:55,610 --> 00:37:57,843
Marc, he's, uh,
one of the one's
809
00:37:57,910 --> 00:37:57,913
that runs the CNC now.
810
00:37:57,913 --> 00:37:59,410
that runs the CNC now.
811
00:37:59,410 --> 00:38:00,610
It's great, you know,
you get to wake up
812
00:38:00,610 --> 00:38:02,309
and do what you love,
and it's kind of cliche,
813
00:38:02,309 --> 00:38:04,343
but, you know, that's
my best friend, so... [laughs]
814
00:38:04,410 --> 00:38:07,043
[Shorty] Nick, he does a lot
of the welding and the fabs.
815
00:38:07,043 --> 00:38:09,910
It's easier, you know,
working with your brother
816
00:38:09,910 --> 00:38:11,010
than somebody else.
817
00:38:11,043 --> 00:38:13,410
We can depend on each other
to get it done right.
818
00:38:15,343 --> 00:38:17,710
I've been into lowriding
for, like, ever, man,
819
00:38:17,710 --> 00:38:19,710
since I was like 13,
14 years old.
820
00:38:19,710 --> 00:38:21,043
It's fun, you know,
821
00:38:21,043 --> 00:38:23,943
if anybody ever gets a chance
to ride in one, try it.
822
00:38:24,010 --> 00:38:25,343
Before you know it, man,
grandma and grandpa
823
00:38:39,610 --> 00:38:42,043
We got all
the parts and pieces back
from the powder coating
824
00:38:42,043 --> 00:38:43,710
for the '23 Polaris Ranger.
825
00:38:48,443 --> 00:38:50,510
Okay, so Wally just brought
all our powder coat back,
826
00:38:50,510 --> 00:38:51,943
everything turned out great.
827
00:38:53,209 --> 00:38:54,643
So mean and Art
are gonna put our heims in,
828
00:38:54,710 --> 00:38:56,043
bushings, ball joints,
829
00:38:56,043 --> 00:38:57,943
and get this thing together
and get it out to the park.
830
00:39:01,710 --> 00:39:04,410
You know, it's no secret,
I'm partial to black and gold
these days.
831
00:39:04,410 --> 00:39:07,309
It's definitely gonna
bring some attention
at the mud park.
832
00:39:07,309 --> 00:39:08,710
You know, painted
all glossy black,
833
00:39:08,710 --> 00:39:10,510
gold wheels, gold suspension.
834
00:39:10,510 --> 00:39:12,209
That's gonna do it.
835
00:39:12,209 --> 00:39:13,543
You know, we've put
a lot of work
836
00:39:13,610 --> 00:39:15,309
into transforming
this side-by-side
837
00:39:15,309 --> 00:39:18,143
into something that nobody's
ever seen before.
838
00:39:18,209 --> 00:39:19,410
We're gonna
get it all together
839
00:39:19,410 --> 00:39:21,343
then we're ready
to hit that mud park.
840
00:39:21,410 --> 00:39:22,810
Man, I'm ready to go, man.
841
00:39:22,810 --> 00:39:23,910
-I'm ready to go.
-I'm ready to go.
842
00:39:23,910 --> 00:39:25,410
-It's pretty cool?
-[Bill] Yeah, man.
843
00:39:25,410 --> 00:39:26,643
It's been quite
a transformation,
844
00:39:26,710 --> 00:39:27,910
I can't wait
for you to see it.
845
00:39:27,910 --> 00:39:28,223
Last time you've seen it was
doing the rear steer, right?
846
00:39:28,223 --> 00:39:30,543
Last time you've seen it was
doing the rear steer, right?
847
00:39:30,610 --> 00:39:32,209
Yeah, still all put together,
848
00:39:32,209 --> 00:39:34,109
that's the first thing
we were doing
849
00:39:34,109 --> 00:39:35,209
was tackling that.
850
00:39:35,209 --> 00:39:37,309
If I know my dad,
this thing is gonna be crazy.
851
00:39:37,309 --> 00:39:38,343
This thing is gonna be sick.
852
00:39:38,410 --> 00:39:41,309
There's definitely not
another one like this
853
00:39:41,309 --> 00:39:42,710
around anywhere.
854
00:39:42,710 --> 00:39:43,810
I didn't expect anything less.
855
00:39:43,810 --> 00:39:45,843
[laughs] Check it out,
here it comes.
856
00:39:48,410 --> 00:39:51,910
Dang! Golly!
857
00:39:51,910 --> 00:39:53,309
How'd I know
it was gonna be gold?
858
00:39:53,309 --> 00:39:54,710
-How did I know?
-[Bill] You already knew?
859
00:39:54,710 --> 00:39:56,043
-[laughs]
-Good job, daddio.
860
00:39:56,109 --> 00:39:58,223
You know, Keegan's seen
a ton of cars
861
00:39:58,223 --> 00:39:58,410
You know, Keegan's seen
a ton of cars
862
00:39:58,410 --> 00:39:59,410
in and out of the shop.
863
00:39:59,410 --> 00:40:01,243
Nothing really
surprises him anymore.
864
00:40:01,309 --> 00:40:03,643
He's seen so many
custom vehicles.
865
00:40:03,710 --> 00:40:05,510
But he was just blown away.
866
00:40:06,943 --> 00:40:09,510
-Man.
-It don't look like
the same one, huh?
867
00:40:09,510 --> 00:40:10,643
-[laughing]
-Not at all.
868
00:40:10,710 --> 00:40:12,643
-[John] What you think?
-Man, it's awesome.
869
00:40:12,710 --> 00:40:14,043
-[Jamie] Very nice, huh?
-Y'all did a very good job.
870
00:40:14,109 --> 00:40:15,410
From what it looked like
a few weeks ago
871
00:40:15,410 --> 00:40:18,410
to what it looks like now,
it is a world of difference.
872
00:40:18,410 --> 00:40:19,610
It is insane.
873
00:40:19,610 --> 00:40:20,910
Getting it into the shop,
you know,
874
00:40:20,910 --> 00:40:23,243
one of the first things we did
is cut the roof down.
875
00:40:23,309 --> 00:40:25,543
It just looked too tall
and out of proportion
876
00:40:25,610 --> 00:40:27,410
-for what it was.
-[Keegan] I get what you mean,
I get what you mean.
877
00:40:27,410 --> 00:40:28,223
And then Bill had the idea
of just putting them
sunroofs in there,
878
00:40:28,223 --> 00:40:29,143
And then Bill had the idea
of just putting them
sunroofs in there,
879
00:40:29,209 --> 00:40:30,710
and that was just
a bonus right there.
880
00:40:30,710 --> 00:40:32,010
[Keegan] You wouldn't know
it had four inches
881
00:40:32,010 --> 00:40:33,209
- cut off the top of it.
- [Jamie] Yeah.
882
00:40:33,209 --> 00:40:34,510
It just looks sporty.
883
00:40:35,710 --> 00:40:37,010
[Bill] What do you think
about those lights?
884
00:40:37,010 --> 00:40:39,810
[Keegan] I... It could turn
night time into day time.
885
00:40:39,810 --> 00:40:41,410
[Bill] I mean, this thing
has more lights
886
00:40:41,410 --> 00:40:42,943
than most trucks around.
887
00:40:45,143 --> 00:40:47,043
You know, of course it has
the long-travel suspension
888
00:40:47,109 --> 00:40:48,643
with air on it.
889
00:40:48,643 --> 00:40:50,910
-[Bill] Gotta have that
adjustability, right?
-You have to, you have to.
890
00:40:50,910 --> 00:40:52,443
-Exactly, it's what we do.
-Can't do it any other way.
891
00:40:52,510 --> 00:40:55,743
[Bill] Big 26-by-12s
of course, you know,
it looks like
892
00:40:55,810 --> 00:40:57,810
they've been dipped
in solid gold.
893
00:40:57,810 --> 00:40:58,223
Fits the theme at this point.
894
00:40:58,223 --> 00:40:59,109
Fits the theme at this point.
895
00:40:59,109 --> 00:41:00,943
-Right?
-[both laugh]
896
00:41:01,010 --> 00:41:03,510
And the gold wheels,
you can see it coming
from a mile away,
897
00:41:03,510 --> 00:41:06,010
and it makes this whole thing
just come together.
898
00:41:08,610 --> 00:41:11,143
[Bill] I mean,
of course we gotta have
black and gold, right?
899
00:41:11,209 --> 00:41:12,610
And, you know, not just black,
900
00:41:12,610 --> 00:41:13,943
we had to take
all the body off,
901
00:41:14,010 --> 00:41:15,710
smooth out all the texture,
902
00:41:15,710 --> 00:41:17,443
and then spray it
a glossy black.
903
00:41:17,510 --> 00:41:18,810
Yeah, it looks so much better.
904
00:41:18,810 --> 00:41:20,410
Looks like you're ready
to go to a car show.
905
00:41:20,410 --> 00:41:21,443
[laughing] Yeah.
906
00:41:21,510 --> 00:41:22,910
Car show? I thought
I was going to a mud park.
907
00:41:22,910 --> 00:41:25,810
Well, but you gotta
look good doing that too.
908
00:41:25,810 --> 00:41:27,143
Yeah.
909
00:41:27,143 --> 00:41:28,223
[Keegan] And I can see
the subs from back here,
910
00:41:28,223 --> 00:41:29,010
[Keegan] And I can see
the subs from back here,
911
00:41:29,010 --> 00:41:31,543
I'm sure those are
crazy loud too.
912
00:41:31,610 --> 00:41:33,510
Right? My buddy here...
913
00:41:33,510 --> 00:41:34,943
-Did a little work to it.
-And it come all with it.
914
00:41:35,010 --> 00:41:38,410
Cramming 4 12s in that thing
was not an easy task.
915
00:41:38,410 --> 00:41:40,209
So if you're gonna do it,
go all out.
916
00:41:40,209 --> 00:41:42,209
I've got 2,000 watts
on the subs,
917
00:41:42,209 --> 00:41:44,143
another 1,600 on the doors.
918
00:41:44,143 --> 00:41:45,209
[Keegan] I can't wait
to hear it.
919
00:41:46,309 --> 00:41:47,810
[Bill] You know, one thing
we had to do
920
00:41:47,810 --> 00:41:50,143
is improve that interior.
921
00:41:50,143 --> 00:41:52,010
You know, smoothing out
the dash,
922
00:41:52,010 --> 00:41:53,410
re-covering the seats
923
00:41:53,410 --> 00:41:55,743
and embroidering
the logo in it.
924
00:41:56,710 --> 00:41:58,143
There's a lot of stuff on here
925
00:41:58,209 --> 00:41:58,223
that's never even
been done before.
926
00:41:58,223 --> 00:42:00,410
that's never even
been done before.
927
00:42:00,410 --> 00:42:02,710
Of course we had to build
that custom camper
928
00:42:02,710 --> 00:42:04,309
[Keegan] It looks like
it came with it.
929
00:42:04,309 --> 00:42:07,143
[Bill] I mean,
that's specifically made
to that vehicle.
930
00:42:07,209 --> 00:42:10,510
-[Keegan] Dang.
-And we got a little throwback
to the mini-truck days,
931
00:42:10,510 --> 00:42:11,843
so check this out.
932
00:42:11,910 --> 00:42:15,043
-Let's do it.
-This is what you come
to work for.
933
00:42:16,410 --> 00:42:17,510
Dang!
934
00:42:17,510 --> 00:42:19,610
[Bill] Just making
cool projects...
935
00:42:19,610 --> 00:42:21,810
Oh, my gosh, man.
936
00:42:21,810 --> 00:42:23,043
[Bill] ...making them
come to life
937
00:42:23,043 --> 00:42:25,810
and seeing it
all come together at the end.
938
00:42:25,810 --> 00:42:28,109
Days like this
is what we're here for.
939
00:42:28,810 --> 00:42:30,343
That is crazy.
940
00:42:30,410 --> 00:42:32,043
Man, talk about
grabbing attention.
941
00:42:32,109 --> 00:42:33,543
When my dad started
hitting those switches,
942
00:42:33,610 --> 00:42:35,343
and the bed started
moving back and forth,
943
00:42:35,410 --> 00:42:36,543
up and down, left and right,
944
00:42:36,543 --> 00:42:38,543
I mean, this thing's gonna be
the center of attention.
945
00:42:38,610 --> 00:42:40,243
We've done some
ridiculous things around here,
946
00:42:40,309 --> 00:42:41,610
but this tops it.
947
00:42:43,643 --> 00:42:45,710
You know, now it's time
to load this side-by-side
948
00:42:45,710 --> 00:42:47,743
up on the wrecker,
go out to the offroad park
949
00:42:47,810 --> 00:42:49,043
and test it out.
950
00:42:52,209 --> 00:42:55,710
Man, it is real, real cool
to have an idea in your head
951
00:42:55,710 --> 00:42:58,223
and having a bunch
of tools laid out,
952
00:42:58,223 --> 00:42:58,309
and having a bunch
of tools laid out,
953
00:42:58,309 --> 00:43:00,610
and using those tools
and using your hands,
954
00:43:00,610 --> 00:43:03,109
having people come to help,
all coming together
955
00:43:03,109 --> 00:43:06,710
to make this project
complete, real cool.
956
00:43:06,710 --> 00:43:09,209
And to be able to show Keegan
something like this,
957
00:43:09,209 --> 00:43:10,209
that's a good dad day.
958
00:43:13,309 --> 00:43:15,510
[both exclaiming]
959
00:43:17,243 --> 00:43:19,143
I can't thank my guys enough.
960
00:43:19,943 --> 00:43:21,843
Shorty coming in
and helping out
961
00:43:21,910 --> 00:43:23,710
with this project, killing it.
962
00:43:23,710 --> 00:43:25,610
Man, that's a cool, cool day
963
00:43:25,610 --> 00:43:26,810
to see everything
come together.
964
00:43:26,810 --> 00:43:28,223
Man, I just can't thank
everyone enough.
965
00:43:28,223 --> 00:43:28,543
Man, I just can't thank
everyone enough.
966
00:43:30,010 --> 00:43:31,209
[laughs]
