1JZ trailer part 2: on and off-road testing, drifting...

[@Juggernaut30]

Trailer drifting... Hillclimbing with a trailer... Garage 54, you never disappoint!!!😂😂😂

[@thatsgottahurt]

There are plenty of amazing car channels out there with insanely good builds; supercars, $100k+ custom race cars or offroad buggies... they are great and all, but nothing will ever be as entertaining as a Garage54 modifying a lada with some crazy contraption.

[@jlucasound]

I ❤ Lada! Tee Shirts, coming soon. 2025

The trailer has more horsepower than the Lada. Lol

[@teee4532]

That trailer is awesome!!!! Hey you can market as a EV car accessory for places where charging stations are too far appart😅 gotta do more videos with this trailer

[@paulstubbs7678]

I was thinking the opposite, an electric trailer. You could squeeze some electric motors under say a caravan, where as a big chunky ICE would never go, plus a battery pack would be very useful otherwise in a caravan. the batteries could charge in any downhill runs etc.

[@JP-zd8hm]

@@paulstubbs7678this is being done with HGVs, just the energy recovered from braking is enough to run refrigeration apparently

[@dynmc]

You made my day!!! I’ve thought about many silly projects in my life, but I’ve never thought of a self driven trailer equipped with it own 6cylinder engine. You made me so happy while watching your video!!!

[@nobbybrown8056]

Thats a whole new sport right there. Imagine how many people would want a powered trailer or caravan!

[@hccw7367]

Power wagon races where the only power is provided by the trailer that has to be controlled by a passenger while the driver of the car/truck only controls the steering and brakes!

TUG OF WAR. TRAILER IN REVERSE AND LADA IN DRIVE !!!

[@H_o_a_X.]

Exactly my thoughts

[@SuperFGeeT]

It's obvious who would win. Heaver trailer plus the car would be using rear wheel drive pulling itself. This would be a useless waste of time because simple physics say otherwise.

[@Matteo-se6yu]

Thats the point of channel try everything thet doesnt make sense

[@5Dale65]

You can't put a Lada in drive as they're not automatic ☺️

[@EvrttGrn]

​@SuperFGeeT , I think the Lada would win because most of the trailer weight is on the tongue transferring to the rear wheels of the Lada and minimal weight on the trailer wheels.

[@metalbrony2012]

You guys never disappoint. I was totally happy with the first video, but a part of me wanted to know what it would do off road with a welded diff. And here it is:) you're the real ones

OMG you guys at Garage 54 are genius

[@davidlobaugh4490]

Best garage 54 vid ever🤠

[@5Dale65]

The setup you got there is similiar to that in articulated buses. Most of them have the engine in the last section, and the last axle is the driven one. That's why every such bus have a double wheel axle not only at the very back, but at the rear of the first section also, although this one is not driven. But if there were only a single wheel on each side, the back of the bus would want to push the first section out on every turn, as the grip would be insufficient. That still sometimes happens, especially in wintertime, when there's snow or ice on the road. A bit too much gas on a turn and the bus jackknifes. If it does and the angle gets too narrow, there is no way to straighten it up. Passengers have to get out and the bus driver waits there in the middle of the road for an assistance truck, that hooks up to the front of the bus and pulls on it. Only then it will straighten up.

[@herobrinecyberdemon8104]

Ikarus made articulated busses with the engine in the middle - and also made the rear axle steerable. You make a turn in a single lane. Today Hungary is left on relying on Chinese investments for its automotive industry, as there's almost nothing left of this record holding manufacturer any more.

[@eefjuh5533]

In the Netherlands all articulated busses have the drive on the rear axle of the front part.

[@5Dale65]

Hi friend. I know Ikarus very well, we had tons of them in Poland. I also remember their steerable rear most axle and the wobbliness it caused to the last section. I never wanted to ride there, as I it was making me so sick I was about to vomit 😂 In Poland we manufacture Solaris buses, but there are more and more chinese parts in them also. Not long ago we had Jelcz buses and trucks, but the company was sold out and Mercedes or MAN bought it.

[@johnjay5143]

I think you just started a trend ... The world drift trailer series . lol About ten seconds before the tire let go I said this will soon happen . lol Great series guys .

[@nickeric8173]

The cart before the horse. This brings that phrase into life.

[@moefuggerr2970]

You could surprise someone in a fast car. Take off and leave or keep up with them while pulling a trailer in a Lada.

[@sra71121]

Loved the video! Great job! In the next video, you should make the trailer a fully functional trailer! Haul things with it, weld a hitch to the back of the trailer to tow a car trailer. For those junk yard projects that require you to drive a long ways. 🎉

[@jamesmower1852]

Such a cool video I love the drifting and I believe this could actually become a new form of racing a car with nothing in it but a working suspension and working brake system and then a trailer with an overpowered engine that would be cool to see 20 to 30 cars like that flying around a racetrack

[@garycarpenter2932]

[@FieroGT3400]

man they need to start making these, for anyone with like a 2wd truck that still wants to go off-roading/camping, this would allow that. and also carry some additional load also, but can be removed when not needed.. i can really see these being sold somewhere. or rented, even like you did with cars, just need a good hitch. c00l idea!

[@shaneeslick]

G'day Garage54 & BMI, 12:42 it's a Ladota Pushme-Pullyou😂

[@oliverquintero9975]

No había visto pero hasta el fin hicieron realidad el comentario que habías escrito hace muchos meses atrás. Un remolque con motor.

[@KhaoticKalm]

Tandem axle would be a game changer for this build

[@Enigma-Sapiens]

Cool! Now put the 1JZ into the Lada, add 4wd and large tires and see how it can handle the muddy terrain!

[@UmmmmmmmWhat]

You should do an electric version. Trailer battery and motor to turn any Lada into a hybrid... it would help the environment by 107% lol😂

[@RustingSoftly]

If it had hydraulic cylinders on both sides of tongue to prevent it from jackknifing it would act like a twin engine scraper. It would be like an old school Caterpillar scrape.

[@cmsracing]

The air intake located right behind the radiator and just above the exhaust is a real performance killer.

[@marvindayondon8292]

This will be the next trailer drifting competetion..❤❤❤ i love it...!!!

This idea would be interesting to see as a drift race with many contenders. Circle track even Figure 8.

Finally a way to play tug-of-war with your own trailer

[@markusgeimer3099]

this is wild as hell but genuinely a great idea and thesis for a topic or idea!

[@deadgowr8958]

Imagine getting stuck, and then attaching a trailer to get you out... Cool stuff Would be cool to see a more purpose built version of this thing, maybe an electric version, and some space to put stuff lol, but realistically seems incredibly useful.

[@_DutchFox_]

This is actually a concept what is already used for a long time by the farmers. They have powered trailers behind their tractors for not getting stuck. At least over here in Europe, but I know we are 15 years in advance with a lot of other countries :D

[@colinstu]

15:48 can see the belts on tire sparking like crazy!

I'm sure they'll like that!

[@lilnutsack4122]

Hello garage54, I have a suggestion. Can you please make a transparent casing for a wet clutch gearbox if you have not already I would like to see how they operate

[@JokerInk-CustomBuilds]

for overlanding ofroad expeditions I could see trailers with electric motors being pretty helpful actually.... A bit of electronics to cut off power to one wheel when jackknifing - could be done with an rc gyro- and it would be a perfect little helper....

[@mursidbilim668]

This counts as Part Time Performance Mods. When you want to go fast, you hook up the Trailer

[@jeroenspock]

This is what a articulated bus kinda does. Propulsion in de trailer and not the bus, it can drift if you push the throttle at the right moment in the corners :D

[@tonyfisher2014]

Two really strong trailer arms. To prevent much turn

[@Tom-Lahaye]

Donuts with a trailer...IT'S NUTS!

[@neuntausendlux]

Since the car is your steering wheel for drifting the trailer - your steering angle is beyond 90° - and that's just nuts!

[@kingherodthegreat1]

They should do drifting with trailers. You just made the new sport.

[@Drummer2k]

That's one way to groom the trail!

[@joeblow6478]

I'd like to see the trailer with an electric motor. Fun video as always.

[@INTEL-REDACTED]

that was fantastic!

[@TheRattyBiker]

Would it be any better of a couple of springs were welded to the back of the Lada to act as an anti jack-knife system?

[@noskatehate]

That station wagon lada is soo cool

[@madmike9530]

Needs a hydraulic cylinder on the hitch to adjust the angle to steer in sticky situations, which can be disengaged when driving normally.

[@jtrill2]

If they solid mount the trailers suspension for the axle, it will prevent the drive shaft from movement up/down and in and out of the transmission thus preventing it from grenading. A short driveshaft with that much axle movement equals a short life for involved components.

[@mrgoodman6620]

Go IRS, best of both worlds.

This would be a good addition to any off-road trailer. Do it with electric and have dual or turning controls. Like turning brakes if you know what I mean

[@nicolekent5077]

Has tobe a world's 1st top job lads

[@jwalster9412]

Is this what driving an articulated bus is like?

[@5Dale65]

Indeed! However those have double wheel axle at the middle to provide extra grip. However in winter you still can jackknife them. As that can be reversed only by pulling the bus at the front, it's almost impossible to straighten it up without help.

[@marccurzon]

the buses have a computer control system and two hydraulic cylinders to control the articulation. my dad was a sf (muni) bus mechanic and told me a story of the articulation computer losing its mind during a test drive on a bus that was throwing nonsensical articulation codes. As my dad was driving the bus down the windy section of 101 near the mission district the bus suddenly jackknifed and completely lost control and spun out on the freeway. the bus and my dad were very lucky to not get hurt.

[@twocvbloke]

Seeeing the end, that really was trailer blazing... :P

[@All_I_can_say_is_Wow]

15:43 you can see this tire is about to pop because the metal belts are sparking the concrete. See this close-up and the next clip watch the trailer go by and then boom. Usually failure is imminent once you see these sparks.
