[@Nunya11672]

Hunter, ive heard that Better Help pitch many times on different channels but for some reason coming from you it sounded more heartfelt and honest i would definitely use your link and if i was in need of therapy.👍

[@jono6379]

Do your research on betterhelp before using them. They have been in the news recently for some serious controversies including selling peoples medical information and using unlicensed therapists

[@morrisster]

Even though they use non certified therapists and sell your data? Nice…

[@NathanNostaw]

Unless you get the same therapist, I wouldn't be using better help. Dodgy company with dodgy history and scam level costs.

[@harmonpatch6858]

Running tires together will create sidewall heat, & they will blow, but it looks cool & does seem to make more traction, love the video

[@Not_Built-Right]

Exactly , hence why dually semi wheels have days to helpwith traction , control heat best if you have 2 in gap put some pate in between the lug shafts that is going to absorb alot more of the stresses and abuse you put on them @hunter_goodrich .......p.s. please keep up the mayhem you rock .

[@000622477]

Absolutely agree for highway use. You think the same is true for slower, more infrequent off-road use?

[@davidwoermansr]

​@@000622477slow offroad stuff is fine

[@davidwoermansr]

That thing won't be going down the roads with the duals on he'd need wideload signs all the time that means expensive insurance and it wouldn't pass inspection to run them on road

[@d.rowley5023]

probably arent traveling on highways enough to generate enough heat to do that.

[@B.Colby107]

I think this is got to be one of the best better help ad reads. Keep up the great work and awesome content Hunter!

[@simonburnby1997]

Love the fact ya showed the difference between what ya could with the singles vs duals

Yess!! Love when hunter drops a new video!

[@joshjackson7980]

I’ve been wondering what you were up to. I hope this channel blows up. Love too see a Florida boy winning

[@timmehnz]

good to see your doing well hunter! keep the content coming!

[@zfilmmaker]

Now that you left Sparks, it’s clear you were an integral part of his team/business. If I were him, I’d fly out and talk you into coming back. He’s going to look for your replacement for a long time.

[@davidwoermansr]

Why would he beg him to come back when he liked to see him go out on his own instead of working for other people the rest his life besides Dave's commercials make him more money than a show ever would

[@zfilmmaker]

@@davidwoermansr “work for the rest of his life”? Hunter’s in his 20’s and was getting great exposure. For Dave, Hunter was a crucial asset as a fabricator, welder, truck driver and frequent recovery team member. That’s not easy to replace. Hunter should have marketed his channel more while he was with Sparks. If Hunter wants to make this channel successful he’s going to need weekly video uploads. That’s much easier to accomplish with a film crew and dedicated editor.

[@davidwoermansr]

@@zfilmmaker sparks seems to be doing just fine with his commercials and Hunter's doing good ya gotta start somewhere and nobody can afford the Hollyweird crap right away if it wasn't for the TV show being so famous the little commercial channel sparks runs wouldn't be so successful

[@zfilmmaker]

@@davidwoermansr you clearly don’t own a company to understand the value of certain employees.

[@davidwoermansr]

@@zfilmmaker you're wrong I own 3 and co-own 7 others and while it sucks losing a good employee like my 1 and only boss did for me I encourage any employee that wants to work long enough for me to buy the tools necessary to start their own business and either rent a building or build 1 to follow their dreams and infact 1 of the 1s I co-own is a former employee that was having a hard time finding a building that would work so I got a loan he makes the payments and till it's paid off I get 5% of his monthly profits so if he breaks even or falls on his face I get nothing but the loan payment that month but I always tell them as long as they don't blindside me 1 day saying this is my last day or call in to quit they can always come back and have the equipment and shop as a side hustle I love it when people I hire are ambitious enough they want to be their own boss and make a life owning their own company than be miserable working for someone else including me ill help any employee reach their goals if their serious about it I'll pull them from the shop for a week and show them the bookkeeping bill paying and material ordering side of things then show them my method of how I inventory things and explain the method behind my madness that boils down to get everything unloaded from the semi to keep the driver happy and get him down the road by having everything scattered in the parkinglot unless it's my truck and it doesn't need loaded for a couple days then I have racks and bins for everything and things are sorted by size and put nearest the station that needs them first it can be a difficult thing to keep rolling if everyone is wandering around looking for parts I also show them clear back to the beginning as I was planning my shop I changed my mind several times on the size till I got everything flowing from 1 station to the next just like an assembly line but with room for stuff to be put in a rack till that part was needed 1 of my former wrecker drivers I sold him his first 2 rollbacks and towtruck and when I buy my new repo truck if he wants my old 1 I won't trade it in at the end of the day any employee can be replaced and if I can help a young employee reach their dreams and build their credit and reputation I'd rather do that than say sucks to be you get to work your on the clock I even have houses I rent for 100 bucks a week way cheaper than anyone else will rent to them and it's just taken out of their check each week I have 7 guys that live 45 minutes away I bought a van and I pay for the fuel so they all meet up and ride together saves their vehicles getting wore out and losing an employee because they don't have a vehicle anymore so maybe I don't value a good employee as much as I value anyone especially younger people who aren't afraid to step out on their own and build something they can pass to their kids like I did

Great build Hunter. 🤙😎

[@abertzaleharroaii7449]

Your old adapters system were really good, really good for reducing the truck's pressure on the ground, but not for rock crawling with all the constraints that this implies. Really love your channel, your projects and contents. 👌🏻👍🏻

Hunter, you are so f#cking smart Florida man. That truck is insane. I love it. You are looking so happy and relaxed, it's amazing to see. Love and Peace.

Screw the rest of the video. I will try better help now that you explained ur experience as you did. Thank you. I really do not mean screw the rest I love the rest of the video. It’s just you mention mental health n I was listening hard. Lye to urself if u please but with todays life n the choices we all have, it never hurts to talk to another human about where you are mentally

[@rickmitchell5415]

That was pretty cool,look forward to see what else you choose to do

[@garyyorke1080]

Ideas seems sound . However you have more stress force on the single point where they fit to the wheel , possible twisting compared to the solid cylinder versions you have made in the past . In the process you have proved a sound idea which is pretty normal for most of your out there ideas . Made for a great video and glad you are settled and back at goffing about with your crazy ideas

[@weldeddaydreams]

I love your attitude way more than the Sparks guys, they just try too hard, your chill nature is refreshing and you're clearly comfortable in front of the camera, something I'm still working on. I love the "have a crack" style of engineering too. I think you need some more aggressive tread on your duals, will swampers stand up to the weight of that truck? Either way, it's damned cool and you've easily earned a sub from my channel.

[@jmg_2_slow74]

I wish hunter was my cousin I’ll learn so much from him I’m 27 and I want to learn everything he knows

Hey Hunter, I was noting your manual shop press. I too have one but used a Harbor Freight air over hydraulic 20 ton jack powered by my air compressor and controlled by a floor pedal to activate the ram. Much faster and easier to operate, see ya soon. Neal

[@simoncbroadley9577]

Nice work , Great brain you have , Good luck on You Tube Channel

[@McBukanyr]

you should try making chains for these dualies. this setup, when chained up, id bet be unstoppable. it would eat up that hill like nothing.

[@caesar1295]

Hunter I grew up in the red clay mud it’s like driving on ice, wheel speed is needed to clean the clay and mud out of the treads or your just running slicks. The duals sure increased the off road ability of the 6x6 and the ground pressure, good idea for off roading but somebody’s going to have cut you a wider road in those mountains.

[@isaacwilson9000]

It take a lot of courage and or stupidity to go off the beaten path and do things yourself. I hope your life continues to grow!

[@davidwoermansr]

Nothing stupid about following your dreams being chained down or becoming a sellout is the stupid way to go

[@spacemonster8954]

if the rubber touches it will rub against the other tire, add some dirt than you have a sandpaper action going on

[@robertgonzalez8419]

And better than better help is try to develop a personal relationship with the Lord the sound mind that comes with understanding and growing in a personal relationship with the Lord is for more valuable and fulfilling and trying to adapt to a therapist mindset my prayers will be with you God bless

[@HunterGoodrich]

Agreed, God comes first! BetterHelp does ask if you’d like to be paired with a Christian therapist and that was definitely an important feature for me

[@williamking6306]

You’ve already done the job, but I thought you should have considered Snap on duals. They’ve been used on big high horsepower Ag tractors. I won’t waste the space to describe how they mount. Check em out you might want to go that way on your next project. BTW Love your channel

[@RageAgainstTheMachine.]

new zealand: awesome content bro. thank you Hunter

[@RKBaxter]

Glad to see your raising those boy's right. But that toy you built, man I want that, Want that mama I want that!

[@jasonpinnix1905]

Put the dozer on the back of the truck . She will go good then . Build a ring just like a old school farm tractor it will take so much of the stress out of the equation.

[@davidwoermansr]

That's what he did for Dave's stuff but 7 ton wheels are different the space between those bolts is so small they'd crack and fail under pressure

[@Handles_are_good_for_holding]

Felt Z tire has the best deals on army surplus tires. I’d recommend checking them out. I got 4 37s for $90 each.

[@BrianHurry]

It's counterintuitive but with the exception of drag strip tires most tires will have a friction coefficient of less than one which means doubling the number of tires will give you less grip. This is why you can walk down a hill with your small shoes but you can slide if you're on a wide toboggan. And if you lose grip on your shoes all you have to do is tilt the edges to get more grip because the less surface area equals more grip

[@000622477]

Love the idea of duals on the rear axles. On the front it scares me a bit. It does look mean as shit though. Almost squatted from a distance lol

[@davidwoermansr]

I have a 79 3/4 ton 4x4 suburban with duals and 34 inch tractor tires for the mud pits and some good stampers for playing around

[@isaacsims6203]

Awsome truck awsome vid

[@MrLarsgren]

i think its same as when driving on snow. twins give you better floatation but less traction because they dont dig in.

[@dennispalmer6007]

But more surface means more traction

[@MrLarsgren]

@@dennispalmer6007 not on all surfaces. thats why people got narrow winter tires

[@dennispalmer6007]

True

[@worshipingIAM]

Rig a set of DIY tracks for the rear tandem, making a bit of a half-trak

[@davidwoermansr]

Front tracks would be awesome too just have to use the all purpose track like used on farm equipment

[@seresamgala8125]

Build yourself a track for the rear tires as singles or as duals ... a modern half-track 👍😊

[@SkeelesFortySeven3277]

This my first time seeing your videos, that's pretty cool brother. I dig the duals. How's badass are bulldozer! Even little one's! Lol

[@pattyyoung3570]

If the tires are spaced apart 3-4 inches the mud will come out the center and not become a land roller , all so weld metal between pipes and some across to make them ridged . And if chains are added you will get better grip .

[@EvilDeadFan11]

I did subscribe just now! Cool video!

[@doggonedk]

Dude love seeing your mechanical engineering skills. Your imagination don't hurt either. More More More set the KZbin algorithm on fire! I want to see you making the big bucks you deserve it.

The big bucks involve sponsors a he shouldn't take a sponsor he doesn't believe in and turn his show into 20 minutes of pushing products and 5 minutes of projects like some do

[@doggonedk]

​@@davidwoermansrsponsors are only one of the revenue streams.

[@davidwoermansr]

@@doggonedk the major 1 why do you think Hunter's former employer has 20 minutes of commercials and 5 minutes of content unless he's going through his junk showing what's for sale then he still starts off with the green slurpy a phone game and a mail order meal service tossed in somewhere had it not been for the discovery channel his KZbin following wouldn't be so good I heard it mentioned a little 1 day popped over to check it out and couldn't sub because skipping the commercials got old after the 3rd video and you gotta start somewhere it's not easy for 1 person to film a project edit the video and finish the project in a week with big projects

[@robertstock9912]

Oh Hunter Goodrich you do make life interesting really enjoyed that one and would just love to ride around in one of those trucks that looks fun

[@davidwoermansr]

They're a blast especially with a snorkel kit I have pictures of going out to rescue people who didn't evacuate soon enough and some of them I had the transfer case in low and was in 2nd or 3rd gear standing on the edge of where the door goes to steer and all you could see is me and my buddy's shoulders and heads the top foot of the air intake tube and filter hat and about 6 inches of the exhaust stack it took water a couple times took forever to boil it out so we ended up running a self-taping screw in for a drain plug till it needed a new stack then we went 2 foot taller

[@450moto9]

Morning hunter

[@sweettooth7124]

Sir if youd like it to hold and be safe id recommend not going so cheap on making spacers. You want a gap between the inner sidewalls even in a offroad situation so the tires can air down and flex.

[@blkmoon5596]

Almost zero public land back east to go and wheel

[@adamfrbs9259]

You should look up a Rolligon next, you'll like it.

[@Joshers2077]

All you need now is some tracks to wrap around the back 2 duels

[@koenvangeleuken6544]

there is a reason all military off-road trucks in the world have single tires. i bet you'd get further with the big single tires with low air pressure (in your video you dont see the sidewalls flexing at all) heavy duty snow chains and a bit of weight on the back.

[@haveraygunwilltravel]

During WW2. The US used dual front tires on their 6x6 trucks to increase traction and floatation on muddy roads.

[@Utubegofukurself]

IF those tube/nuts hold long enough, Those sidewalls will eat each other alive in no time.

[@davidwoermansr]

Only if something can force its way in since they were touching I don't see it being easy aired up and it's too wide to legally drive on road besides bias ply tires don't flex like radials and military tires are a dime a dozen

[@bishopcorva]

How about adding forestry wheel chain/tracks off a forwarder to the inside wheels of the rear tandems. Bet that would get you up and over the hill.

[@PeterC5131]

Obviously not designed to travel any great distance on bitumen roads or at great speeds, don't know enough about duel wheels to know if they will over heat doing what you are doing with them. Don't think it will be a problem. Next step is chains (snow/mud) on the front wheels for traction with steering and tracks between the two rear axles. Put some decent cleats on the tracks and that thing will go just about anywhere, steering may be difficult though.

[@MooreFabWorks]

Dang that looks like fun!!

[@Jammer.1]

That was a cool idea !

[@pioneerfarm4369]

Get a pipe thick wall OD the size you need weld the rods on the outside to the pipe now get the size bolt go thru the rod into the wheel make sure you have a three inch gap between tires it worked for us and lasted for years

[@warrenjohnknight.9831]

With the duals the tyre pressure can be a lot lower, henceforth better traction, truly called floatation tyres as used in the extreme conditions,

[@bowwiz]

watched from Bryan,Tx

[@Wesley-uo3rn]

Great stuff.. thx for the video

[@mikeytyler0712]

Thats the sickest looking military truck i have ever seen

[@BrianHurry]

Just so you know whatever vehicle is hooked higher will always win the tug of war. That is because the chain will lift the back end of the opposing vehicle up off the ground causing it to lose at least 50% of its grip. On a proper tug of war the rope would be as low as possible to the ground with each vehicle having some sort of drop-down mechanism to make this possible

[@baggerf14]

It’s dangerous for dually tires to come in contact with each other.

[@glbaker5595]

What makes them dangerous I not been around Dooley's much except semi trucks but what makes them dangerous to come in contact thanks for the info

[@tracefarber3286]

@@glbaker5595 causes heat and tire damage where they rub and flex together. If he’s just off-roading he will be fine. Road speeds probably sketchy

[@BIOMAXABLE]

Yes on a semi truck f the dual's touch they will overheat and blow out.

[@jono6379]

That's because they probably weren't a real therapist. Google it.

[@CimmarronGonzales-uh7lj]

It won the tug of war the 2nd time because adding 6 tires added weight. If you increased dozer weight the same I think you would have had the same result as the first pull. For the best traction I would say make chains for it

[@ggletsplay5041]

Looks like a tonka truck. Awesome

Had ge went 10 tubes all around I think it would've been fine and losing a wheel on the trail isn't dangerous and it's not road legal with duals singles are barely under needing wide load signs and flags at the widest point
