Cab Over and Dirt Bikes! - Shop Update November 2020

After taking the last week to wind down from Florida and trying to get schedules and other important things lined up for 2021, I decided this was the perfect time to do a November shop update! I have been wanting to go dirt bike riding for a few years now. But, believe it or not, between school, work, and cars we have all been too busy to make it happen. While I was in Florida dad decided to pull his bike out and get it running and so I decided to do the same for mine yesterday so we might be able to get a ride in this weekend! There wasn't nearly as much maintenance required as expected, cutting my video short, so I decided to give a COE update as well because a lot of cool things have happened to it since you last saw it!

I really like the relationship you and your Dad have together. Your Dad is one cool dude for sure!

[@kevincota9214]

Folks, this vid is just one example why some daughters marry younger versions of dad, her pop is successful, loving, awesome and everything a man and dad should be.

[@teknoaija1762]

yeah it s called unconsciously wished incest....and might be the cause for high divorce rates.

[@GeoffInfield]

@@teknoaija1762 I don't think that compliment to her father deserved to be sullied 😥 I only recently found this channel when she teamed up with Emelia for Cleetus' Les Mullets race and I've been blown away at what a genuinely lovely person she is and how much her parents clearly contributed to that. Great family, tons of mutual respect, wtf dude.

[@teknoaija1762]

@@GeoffInfield you ve got it all wrong.there is nothing personal about her dad.is english your first language.i was commenting the known phenomenon of women marrying men that remind their fathers.

[@ericinnc]

Been a mechanic for many years and do ALL of my own work. Thought I had decent skills. The more I watch you and especially your dad as a fabricator, machinist, race car driver/builder, my mind is blown! Thanks for sharing! The truck update is super cool!

[@Caligari...]

Love the COE , Your Dad is so lucky to have such an awesome daughter , and your dad is awesome also . Thanks !

[@GeoffInfield]

Holy crap that COE is beautifully engineered, the rear-end alone is a masterpiece! Nice :)

[@johnh8917]

Your pop gotta strap a friggin go pro to his head! He's got a ton of cool build's going on man! We wanna see more of it.

[@GodFatherofTexas]

For real, get him to video some of his daily building.

[@melvinhayes573]

Your dad has an awesome mind in an awesome vision he's just awesome all the way around you're lucky girl Alex

[@UcantBeSerious03]

damn your dad has some skillz - that purple arm - guess his modeling days are over.

[@moabwheeling]

Its still a great video Alex , don't worry about action . I love the stories , memories for you and your family . Your dad is so awesome , his skill set is amazing . Take care and be safe .

[@jayspeelman8619]

Love the COE. Great engineering on the tilted cab.

[@biggitybaked7017]

Good lord, she rides too? Praise heaven, there is a perfect woman in the world. Alex, you should give classes to other women in how to be freaking perfect! 😘🤣

[@AMac1978]

Yeah dude. Unicorn.

[@GeoffInfield]

Right? 😅 When I look at all the channels I follow, guy or girls they're all decent, good people who like to go fast - Cleetus/Cooper/James, Finnegan, Emelia Hartford, Taylor Ray, That 1320 chick, Adam LZ, Brent from PFI, Jeremy/George/Laz from FasterProms etc etc etc - but Alex's enthusiasm and positivity brings the biggest smile every time.

[@biggitybaked7017]

I think what I like most about her personality is, seemingly, she really loves this stuff and don't buy into the diva BS we see daily. Her and her family are them and thats rad!

[@monty4350]

Bad ass COE! Looking forward to seeing more of that build.

[@fishpony1211]

Cant wait to see that truck finished. Please keep updating!! That thing is badass

[@damianjackson9084]

Your dad is so chilled that's the key I reckon to all his bad ass skills

[@thomasjohnson5695]

Strong ass magnet for that half inch wrench, keep it right next to it on the "firewall"

[@jimmyp2207]

You and Emelia seem like genuinely nice girls. And, know your way around cars. Very cool!

[@tracyjoy9804]

I do enjoy seeing all projects coming together, tilt cab is awesome

[@MrZilla500]

Siiiick! Love seeing ATCs being kept alive!

[@justaguy9776]

Get out, she can drive,and ride. Alex you just might be the baddest KZbinr EVER! 👍🏻🇱🇷

[@mrjoshua6979]

I keep hearing “now we have so much room for activities” 😆

[@curtisbrockhouse7889]

The little Honda 70's are so much fun. Could definitely see Alex still riding something that small

[@monadking2761]

Always loved that style truck since I first saw one. Noticed your building that Nomad but, then noticed not one but two Nomads. I'm just doing one now to match my other one that I have had since 1974. Love your shop since I just have a 24x20ft garage. Keep up the videos your a great inspiration.

[@novacain58]

Love hearing stories from your pops

[@jwright650]

Truck is coming along nicely. Enjoyed hearing about the bikes ....and your Dad's arm.

[@dsb7115]

Tell your dad I don't mind him using my cab-over but when he gives it back I will expect a full tank, oh and no dings or dangs... OH and don't leave the radio on his headbanger stations! I LOVE this truck can't wait to see the end product. As always another great video, keep em coming...

[@ourcrookedgovernmentFJB]

Trust me as a retired trucker you might consider using air ride where the back of the COE cab meets the frame. That will prevent the "bucking effect" when you hit a bumpy road or a road where the concrete slabs are uneven.

[@phillipragsdale3382]

Does dad have a channel to showcase what’s going on in his shop, it would be cool. Diggin the nomads particularly the supercharged beast.

[@DirtDay]

The cab over is going to be unreal all said and done, such a cool project!

[@keithphillips6111]

That truck is already amazing Alex. I can't wait to see it when your dad gets done .

[@timtwitch3567]

Your Dad must dream inventions of for vehicles ( anything with motors and transmission ) . Cool ideas . Big kid with imagination .

[@ShadeTreeKennyT]

I love the three wheeler, those things are such well built machines, Honda really did them right. I've owned a few ATC's myself, very simple and reliable.

[@technician-tony]

I love your relationship with your dad, thats awesome.

[@my357mags]

Alex! A little tip for your dad...& you on starting stubborn dirt bikes! Tell your dad too lay his Yamaha on it's side before trying too start it. When he picks it up it should leak fuel from the overflow...then it's ready too start. It helps prime them. I've showed many people this little trick & there amazed at how well it works! You say your bikes hard too start too...give it a try! Let me know how it works! Thumbs up!

[@hamiam2243]

Nice dirt bikes,the coe is off the hook. your dad makes it look so easy.

[@bobdown410]

You dad has some mad skills. He should write a book.

[@jfvanaken3761]

Love the Cab Over .. sweet project

[@joecameron3406]

That truck is way cool can't wait to see the finish of it

[@turbogrin]

Really nice COE with some trick stuff included ! NICE

[@kevinAuman1]

I love your guy's relationship you and your pops!!! 😊 cherish it girl, I wish either of my parents was alive today

[@Gonecheenin]

LOVE the three wheeler!!! I had a couple of those 200X's in my time - one was built outta spare parts just like your Dad's but with a 200S pull start / auto clutch engine. Spent a good many years riding those - I miss them and have always wanted to find a clean ATC250R (but I got older & barely ride my Quads anymore - so adding yet another toy to just sit around the garage is probably not the best move)

[@richardtruesdell8289]

I would like to see the coe with a nice paint job, it's just my preference. Other channels have done the "patina" thing to death but your dad is a stellar painter so I know how beautiful a job he would do.

[@fast97z24]

"Gonna go dirt bikin again" haha so much enthusiasm.

[@Tech-ez1qj]

Careful driving the 3 wheeler. I grew up driving those and they where recalled and bought back and illegal to make now. Because allot of people broke their necks turning sharp and rolling over. After that the 4 wheeler was introduced. I don't want to see anyone get hurt. I personally know how much fun they are to fide.

[@mk3249]

Your pops reminds me of Stacy David

[@richardhorner4799]

Thanks for the update on the COE, of course your dad is a member of the 3 wheeler mafia :-)

[@erikaostlund5229]

Your Dad is so talented.

[@madmat2001]

If your bike has an automatic petcock the reason the first start after a good amount of time has transpired is so difficult is because your fuel bowl has dried up. The petcock opens via engine vacuum and each time you kick it over you just get a dribble of fuel into the bowl. Set the petcock on the PRI (prime) setting and fill the fuel bowl prior to starting it and then switch it back to on after it's running.

[@donpruett9194]

Your father is a very talented man I can see where you get your talent and knowledge from. I can't wait until the truck is ready

[@bigEratt]

Look forward to all your videos.. and your Dad is an amazing fabricator/mechanic/artist.. The fruit from the tree is equally amazing..

[@gtnoslp]

Nice shop and toys! Love the COE!

[@aslamb6489]

Great job Dennis I'm sure that TRUCK is going to look good & run really well I like watching you guys you are very interesting to watch I have watched a lot of your VIDEOS now & there is not one that I have not liked yet keep up the great VIDEOS I'll be watching KUDOS & A BIG THUMBS UP

[@mikemichaud5578]

Your dad’s brain has constantly be in the on position with all the ideas and things he’s got going on. That’s one awesome dude and super intelligent. Love the videos keep up the great work. Greetings from Arizona

[@ieweg]

Hi Alex! Great video. I met you at Indy PRI 2019... anyway, a couple ideas for your dad on the cabover steering connection. Might want some sort of safety to ensure those two bolts don't come out - like a couple hairpins to hold them in case they work loose. And pie in the sky, add an electrical switch so the cab can't move unless the steering is disconnected - that'd save breaking/bending the column. Love your channel - you Taylors have mad skills!!

[@davidwiner8571]

Wow alex your dad is a mechanical genius

[@darrellgreen5847]

Your Dad is doing a great job wish I was there to watch it.

[@towzone100]

Another great video. Not a race/car video but still a blast to watch.

[@rooster7658]

I have always wanted a COE ...this one is gonna be incredible..

[@Mercenary66649]

You and your family seem so super down to earth.. Love the content..please more of the cab over..

[@georgeflynn2819]

i was hopping for the details on the blue willies love those cars

[@angushoover8670]

That COE is SWEET... Great video.

[@426hemicuda1090]

That truck is going to be sweet!!!!

[@dicktrickle4197]

THIS ! This is awesome. My love for Atvs and Dirt bikes is huge. I've done more on them than I've done racing actual cars or trucks. A day up in the mountains or out exploring with good friends cannot be beat with jumps, racing, hill climbs , sand dunes you name it. My Yamaha Raptor had a stage 3 on it and I loved it very much. The C.O.E is lookin boss already . Can't wait to see it's first drive . I Love the Taylor's 😃

[@neong]

That cab over is rad.

[@davidmcnew4214]

That cab over is going to be nice. Your dad's stories are great. Nice to see you smiling Alex.

[@BdeSimon]

Omg that 3 wheeler is cleeaaannnnn 😍😍😍 love everything but 3 wheelers steal my heart!

[@dalegroves1918]

Beware that three Wheeler will dump you. I got an old Honda XR 500 that's fun to ride, glad to see you're into dirt bikes too.

[@corycox2334]

Love the Truck. Badass ride

[@jamesbranner4029]

Love all the vids even this one! Any cab over updates is badass love your dads vision!

[@kendesign3622]

Your Dad's cab over is bad ass! Please keep that project posted 👍

[@jaredthisdelle5617]

That coe is killer love all the toys

[@gregsimon9061]

Absolutely love this channel, Alex you are the luckiest young lady to have a dad that is such a wizard in the shop, there isn’t anything he can’t do, your family is the greatest. Happy Thanksgiving to you guys and thanks for the updates on all your projects.

[@jasonhira4671]

You have a cool dad Alex,loving your vids and all the story’s..my new favourite project is the Cabover,can’t wait too see what you have for us next 😎👍🏼

[@Addicted2_MotoX]

Anytime your bike is hard to start just turn the gas off and lean bike all the way over on the left side and let the excess fuel drain out of the carb. Once fuel stops draining leave the gas off and start the bike. Turn fuel ON after bike is running.

[@dougdigiacomo3613]

Your dad is crazy skilled builder. I think he’d make an amazing father in law!!! Ha

[@LesMorrisracing]

Thanks Alex for letting us spend the day with you.

[@waynesligar5948]

That's cool you live in Arkansas, i grew up in the country outside Springdale Arkansas and now i live in central Oklahoma and still go to my family outside of Fayetteville 5 to 6 times a year

[@banditgrizzy1955]

Think yall might like "classic truck rescue" on here. May even have some parts for that old truck. 😉 Super sharp truck build by the way!!👍

[@mikeskidmore6754]

Two of my friends had Modified Honda 350-X 3 wheelers.. they were making fun of how slow my 1978 Yamaha YZ-100-E would be.. There was about three inches of fresh poweder snow on the ground and I ride circles around them like they were sitting still .. two wheelers are more fun that 3 and 4 wheelers I always say ..

[@nathanwilliam1922]

Look at all that room for activities 👀

[@Djm9393]

knowledge is power!

[@johnmckinney1493]

The first truck I drove was a 57 freightliner Coe with a 5×4 twin stick. Love your truck.

[@davidevans8826]

Good stuff I love it ,dirt biking is a blast I grew up in a small engine shop and it was the best way to grow up ever !unfortunately everybody wants me to fix there stuff lol I love the cab over especially the knee stabbers ... ...cooool👍👍👌👌👌👌👌 don’t spit out your gum keep it in your mouth just makes you cool!

[@tudorjosh7654]

Great updates, thanks! The COE is coming together awesome!

[@joecrone9862]

Your dad is way too cool! I really need him to adopt me. Hey I could be your adopted grandpa.

[@fatlace138]

Started watching you because of Le Mullets, staying for your wholesome dad thought.

[@bensond32]

The COE is looking so dope!

[@josephgalvan8527]

Your pops is awesome. I would love to be around him to learn more than I know.

[@cecilfrench2238]

One you are more beautiful every time I see a new video second I wish I could work with your dad for 1 month to learn such a smart man

[@chevylandt.v]

Nice dirt bikes I have a Honda 150 and my dad has a 200 hood. Man they are really fun. Nice 3 wheeler those are rare. If I was you I'd keep it.

[@hardknox1917]

Your Dad is a legend, a very interesting talented guy

[@jh1867]

That is such an amazing truck. Your dad has an amazing talent!!! You should film him work all day

[@charliekline3975]

You are ever red blooded American guys dream. gee I wash my girl loved working on cars riding bike . because well that’s a whole different story

[@JeepnNick]

Turn off the fuel and let them run out of fuel in the carburetor Helps keep gas from turning bad in carb

[@rockbiterhd]

love that Truck your Dad is one talented man love the work

[@sailingyemaya9781]

Nice work, you might consider adding some sort of safety pins to those two steering bolts

[@WDADVG]

Great update on the COE. I would think it would be a waste of time and money to put the cab lift on the remote when you have to unhook everything first. I would set up a second remote if you are just going to use it at car shows.

[@bobnodie]

Hi from Greenwood, AR. Remember Alex, if you ever get any thumbs downs, it's because of those jealous young boys in high school or those sore losers you beat at the strip. I've never seen a video of yours that I didn't love.

[@realwheelman]

Dropping the truck down when loading /un will be sweet. Way to go.

[@danadams3465]

Really love that veranda!

[@dadgarage7966]

Last winter, my snow thrower would only run with the choke half closed. The fuel bowl had water and scale in it. Cleaned that and the jet orfice up an now it runs wide open off-choke in minutes from start-up in ultra minus weather.
