We Found A Mini Cooper Monster Truck!

today we prepare our 6x6 limousine to drive across the state and pick up our next project [Music] tomorrow is the last day this Mini Cooper is available to us so the pressure is on and we are not sure if the limo can make it is there anything that you're concerned about as a Master Mechanic on this trip to getting there and getting back or are we premium okay oh no [Music] thank you time to get the limo ready for another road trip juicy 37 inch Falcon wild Peaks got some new Wheels on the way to make it look all fresh and spiffy oh this thing smells like tires they're off gas that's probably better than it smelled like earlier [Music] driving it through the puddle was um an interesting choice I just realized I'm going to be working underneath it oh um keep in mind we've not driven this since we got it back oh ah how we made it back without that tire completely disintegrating is beyond me oh yeah that seems to hold air there's just the hose that was leaking I think it might have been yeah foreign [Music] next up on the list of things to fix here is this here carrier bearing on this drive shaft it's all loosey-goosey wibbly wobbly all janky so I'm gonna see if I can pull it off and get some sort of part number off of it well the bearing itself is fine okay there's a number there it says 201 r it has another number on it 231 212. interesting I might as well cut some of this off make it a little more decent until we can actually properly fix it and make everything good again honestly in some ways it's not nearly as bad as I thought it might be there are some spots that are completely rusted out but overall there's less than I well who knows haven't gotten into all of it now that's what I call weight reduction wow this thing's already getting like full I think this windshield is held on by one hope and two dreams [Music] look at how close of a color blue it is it's like it's the same color this is not a custom color that's just the color they are wow it's funny from the back it looks like following a normal Ford thank you oh my gosh well it is a Ford Excursion that's been turned into a limousine truck thing all righty wow yeah it's uh it's a little ridiculous this thing's gonna fit 37s I don't know find out so we're cutting it up today too or what if we have to [Music] yeah as you might imagine it's almost kind of heavy time to get these 37s on here and see how they look and then maybe take it on a little celebratory Adventure [Music] I just cut out some of that inner fender liner there obviously it needs a little more because the suspension travel is hooked up [Applause] [Music] this is what makes it officially the grind hard company truck oh I figured out why this blinker hasn't been working we're low on blinker fluid look it's only half full hi viewer you helping out here yeah oh boy you're making this so difficult dog oh look at that the limo's so big you can chase the ball underneath it uh that it looks not premium huh something got janked yeah that is indeed the fluid of breaks well now we have another thing to fix once again the only thing that's actually bad is the rubber dubber Flubber stubber which you can see is very it's crusty crust Edition as will might say oh dude are you excited I'm really excited dude it smells like the lemon is the only thing that smells like this so it's got like this really strange musk smell in here I don't know what it is and it intensifies while it gets warm in here also did you notice it's like a nice Breezy 110 degrees in here nice it's toasty in here oh hopefully it's not this toasty all the way to Oregon I don't think this thing has AC at all I also don't think we're going to work [Music] every time I brush it a little bit of Chad gets in my mouth [Music] foreign [Music] so much better look look almost no play now just one to go [Music] you need to be fancy but it needs to be strong so that the uh winch can winch stuff onto the trailer [Music] checking out the limo buddy foreign just like that we have ourselves a winch a trailer winch yeah we're sealing this back window and someone put the window over the vinyl so kind of just leaks right in [Music] something more elaborate but I don't have time just take this piece here like this and then you know weld it along there and then that in itself wouldn't do all that much but then I'll take make another piece that goes across the other side this side here and weld them together and that'll make it essentially a big piece of angle iron over top of the existing Fender and that should be plenty strong for most things to drive over [Applause] [Music] sealer Willy they call me seal man oh that's the old man really Flex Seal you know what a Flex Seal is yeah yeah that guy oh that's uh that's who I feel like [Applause] [Music] [Applause] oh the stick came out but won't go back in also Ford makes their cars literally look like they were put together by like aisle 17 and AutoZone or something like what the what the heck is all this stuff it's like house wiring in here that's why I only buy Subaru so much more premium maybe a Ford guy could tell me in the comments if there's like a special way to put the dipstick back in it came out smooth as butter I'm just going in dry as a peanut butter sandwich well I think it's lunch time which means it's a great time to tell you guys about factor which delivers delicious dietitian approved fresh never frozen meals right to your door that was good yeah that was premium I like that if you're like me you spend so much time building things and out and about doing stuff you never have time to cook well with Factor you can not only save time on cooking eliminate cleanup but also you can eliminate trips to the grocery store because

Factor box I'm gonna eat lunch I'm hungry that looks really good drain the oil there's like half the amount of oil that's supposed to be in that engine that's fine because it's like that's like the bulletproof 7-3 so we're fine that will go forever it'll Outlets all of us look looking for my phone it's in my front pocket this time this time [Music] we're going to Giant buy a giant Mini Cooper ones 46 inch military tires drive over fenders now last night I was just goofing off at Walmart with the intention of buying an AC thingy and the biggest bluetooth speaker at Walmart the size of the speaker was much larger than anticipated for a portable Bluetooth speaker what oh they had this one that has rollers and LED lights and then I was checking out and the clerk and she was like my friend has this one I love it so much we do karaoke on it not only does it come with a microphone she's like no but any Bluetooth microphone works I ran up and I was like this microphone matches my limousine and she was like looked at me like really weird like okay and then a guy comes back in line and he's like I love your channel man and then I was like does this not match my limousine and he was like oh it totally does in this new Walmart party was like what is going on there's will he didn't bring anything Goodness Me do you not know where you live I live like so far away from that address you charge this thing my question is what did I do wrong why what did I do I've never heard him complain about karaoke before don't you want to hear will sing Celine Dion I do Celine Dion is lit is there anything that you're concerned about as a Master Mechanic on this trip to getting there and getting back or are we premium everything oh no I mean the little chunks of metal that came out of the oil yesterday when you changed it those are the you know those don't Inspire confidence we're only like six quarts low on oil out of 15 to be players yeah out of 15. so that's not that bad really if you think about it and the chunks of metal work no bigger than the tip of my pinky I think we're getting pulled over and it's the first time ever to grind hard vehicle so we'll see how this goes I I think we're going that fast what's going it was good pretty good how about you all right all right what's up your speed you're 71. okay so trailer combination vehicles of any kind 60. oh really I did not realize that I'm sorry yeah no voice registration Insurance yeah yeah um where are you headed we're heading over to uh Tacoma area okay I knew it was like that in California because they have it posted on all the signs I didn't realize Washington was the same dude what is this thing it's uh I mean it started Life as a Ford Excursion limo and then somewhere along the way it became this we're gonna project over there monster truck a mini could do a picture of it uh yeah we do I mean I'm just gonna find the insurance cards on my phone so we just build crazy stuff and put it on the internet yeah all right yeah 60. keep it up gotcha yeah for sure all right appreciate it sure thank you for real I had no idea well thanks for the warning you don't realize how much better outside spells until you're out of the limo bro the definition of made it is having to park on this side of the truck stops in the semi-parking area yeah we are as long as a semi [Music] hey well what's in your back

dude I got it what if I don't got it well if you don't have it you'll probably be fine because of the length of the grass it will slow your velocity that was pretty good dude [Music] it looks even better in real life oh my gosh the photos didn't quite do that Justice did they Justice what the heck oh this is the coolest thing we've ever got Stephen Stephen nice to meet you cool this thing's crazy yeah man I bought it from a guy that put it together uh he was just too old to climb in and out of it and to finish it um it needs fuel lines ran with the fuel cell I have everything uh battery cables ran and then brake lines I'm staring and staring yeah yeah I honestly didn't even look at our group chat I didn't know what we were coming here to get bro oh this is what we're getting that's
