I Bought a 6x6 Army Truck and it went Terrible.

hey Dom I got a question for you yeah what's up where the hell's our third wheel guys it has been pretty hectic around here we've been working on the comments while Mustang like crazy look at her she is all jacked up at the moment and we've also been working on a Ford Raptor and if you did not know I am trying to build my absolute dream shop for us to build awesome projects like this and anything else that we're crazy Ness I had to build in the future now there is a couple things you do need to build a awesome dream shop first thing you need a 95 horsepower jack second thing you need a place to put your awesome dream shop think we got that handled and third thing is you need an awesome military dump truck it doesn't really have to be military but in our specifications I can think of all the possibilities why it should be a military dump truck you might be saying that's gonna be hard to find Westen I actually found one and needless to say I contacted the guy I was talking to him and he said if you want this truck you better get down here pronto because there's another guy that's gonna be on his way to get it tomorrow so [Music] this is a steep hill so guys we are almost here to get our army truck now let me say we're probably just gonna have to leave you guys in the truck way we can get us an army truck I guess we'll see here we've done a very big thing we have bought Hey look at this thing this thing is gorgeous this thing is beautiful this thing doesn't run why are you poking holes in my plan hey who said you ever had to buy a truck that runs that is just over it buy you one that don't run and you have so much more fun with you know what just because it doesn't run doesn't mean it's not a good truck that's why we brought the trailer with us we bring insurance with us that trailer is like a big insurance policy until we break it in half because it's too heavy that is a good point this thing is very very big so hopefully we don't break our trailer in half when we try to load it I haven't quite figured out if it's going to fit on there yet because this thing is wider than the Raptor longer than a trailer house and heavier than Dom's and mine last girlfriend that is a lot of weight so let's see if this 5 ton military truck will fit on that trailer and if our 300 thousand mile one-ton dodge diesel will pull it all the way back to Kansas this is something like a worse idea the more I talk about it so I'm not going to talk about it no more I'm just going to do now clarification this thing does run but it does have some problems so we can't drive it all the way home so hopefully we can haul it but I got to pull these out because it's got a bunch of seats that go in it so people can ride in it good job after a little bit of work we got our very comfortable seats installed on our brand-new truck now it's time to well try to load it and make sure we don't break the trailer one of these things step one complete loaded onto the trailer step two make it home having accomplished the yep but we're feeling pretty good about the game what do you think step two we're on break in the middle of nowhere and we're half drive this bag and the trailer well the treads gonna take an unfortunate joke what do you mean for some reason we had to put air in these tires I don't know why I mean this thing's almost as light as feather big-ass feather like a t-rex feather we got our new prized possession tied down and got ready to head for home and then this happened yep hey Dom I got a question for you yeah what's up where the hell is our third wheel so we went from six wheels to five real quick he's only got two but he'll be [ __ ] like this is something like I would actually joke about but like this isn't a joking point what do you like look at this every single start of it is broke off every single one it has been riding through a little bit like look it was riding for a little bit while after it broke off at this point it's pretty obvious we are not going to be able to drive that big hunk of metal home on the trailer so it's about two hours until we get home if we was able to drive right now but what we can do is we're gonna go ahead and unload the five tonne army truck it does run it does Drive but it has some small issues with its brake system but I think this just went from a hauling mission to a repair mission for me and Dom in the parking lot I've heard army guys say that with a little bit of baling wire you could fix one of these in no time I've got a whole roll of baling wire that means I can fix this entire freakin truck all right first things first let's unchain it drop the ramps and see if we can get the thing unloaded now we've got to figure out if we can actually make lights and stuff work on this truck kind of feels like well what happened I just had this stuff okay there's something yeah Dom I thought you drove with these for the leads are not saying this is not the same as the fire truck how do you turn the lights on the fire truck towed the switches all the way across there look at the headlights I'm telling you toggle switches so I figured it out the high beams and low beams this thing is this thing is perfect to be honest is an embarrassing amount of time it took you to figure it out okay you're right it was so after crawling around on top of the trailer underneath the truck for a considerable amount of time by passing air leaks trying to fix this truck good enough that it will Elise get off the trailer I think we finally got it done maybe [Music] so we got to fix good enough to get it off the trailer now the question is can we fix it good enough to drive it another two hours poem well we got one last thing we're gonna try we're gonna try and start hitting stuff with a hammer oh you got it oh no that's why I'm here an era of the intake that's it okay see it's its pulls air from the intake there this valve is stuck open remember when we shut it off and I heard air out of the air breather yeah it's back feeding through the air intake anything coming back out but he said it was working right before he parked us you know what that means means if we hit it with a hammer maybe we're gonna dislodge whatever this one will work that oughta fix it you know the one thing that would make me almost as happy as if this truck just fixed itself right now is if you would hit the subscribe button that would just really make my day or you guess my night I guess it's almost another day again the hell as you can see we made it a whole 15 miles before the temperature gauge said the truck was overheating it's gonna be long enough it's 1 a.m. in the morning and Milan tonight is just going peachy my truck puts down my light I love you general but come on cooperate with me okay let's see if it's actually Gamble's you just gotta ride them that's the horn hey you're good you can touch that Oh Cory I mean right now I'm pretty happy with the story be careful because if it's as hot as it says it it says 240 degrees I don't know Oh scary well it's probably cooled down since then but here's the advantage we've got 100 psi of brake pressure now so we fixed one problem you know what you're really not living life until you buy something like this after working the truck over we come to the realization that the gauge is broken and it's actually not overheating so I guess let's get back on the road shouldn't even put this up I'm gonna pull the back out on here this is like the most entertaining [Music] okay we'll trade one problem for another one my booth I thought it was just leaking inside the cab how's your armature looking it's a great was it my boots it wasn't this it was a dance I never think about it is this is proof there's still oil in it what's funny is I passed the cop coming into this small town and he looks up from this you know flappy bird or whatever he's playing on his phone he look so what this thing is straight pipe this thing is a loud I'm like I'm gonna hear the sound of my people we're just we need to start checking to see what solo I'm not even joking yeah like I was sitting there and I'm driving in the mic well the four board feels a little slippery what I spilled on I thought I spilled my drink and now look what the floor board looks like there's a puddle of oil in there too bad oil prices weren't higher where this truck would be a fortune maker as you can see our oil bleak has went from just making a mess of my boot to making a mess of every driveway in every road that we have traveled around tonight sorry it's like 5:00 in the morning and we're still not home where I can hour away from home and we just went into the school of 66 and bought every quart of oil they have because officially this thing is stopped leaking so you know what that means that means they don't have no freakin oil left this is how you put the oil in your army truck say you take the bottle you think about unscrewing the cap throw it at the engine you go take a nap you know it's an unbelievable moment but we are actually at home with our truck I know I know it's shocking I didn't ever think it was gonna happen last night either and needles need neither did our camera because it died on us about 5:30 this morning but it was just a quitter but this trucks not got a lot of awesome content come to the channel a lot more awesome
