Ultimate Truck Makeover! We turned this Junk Truck into a Masterpiece!

[@TideFighterFishingTeam]

Name it the meat wagon😊

[@deermeatfordinner]

Freakin LOVE It!!!! That’s the new name!!!

[@rolandcox5162]

That name deserves at least going huntin with ya.

[@rowdybroomstick6394]

That's what " Lake Fork Guy" call's his canam SXS. It's a good name for sure 👍

[@bobsaget769]

@@deermeatfordinner the Meat Wagon needs a camo wrap!! Maybe with the DMFD logo worked into the camo pattern!!

[@JNA9212]

That’s a awesome name!

[@Gueroootube]

The aluminum bed looks amazing the whole truck in general and I think you should do a custom DMFD camo wrap. The fact that that truck sat for 4 years and had no hope of running again, you guys gave it some love and she started back up like she was waiting for you to bring her back to life!

[@rickhurley7653]

I agree 100%.

[@buffabadness9921]

Same 100%

[@dylanvanvactor434]

i agree on the dmfd custom camo wrap that would be awesome to see

[@keneldred9030]

This truck turned out absolutely amazing! Great job guys! I knew in my heart that this truck was going to start and run, and very strong- it’s an older truck, and, knowing what I do about those years of trucks, I just knew that it would start and run strong! They did have a few problems back then, but they all had a few issues throughout! Properly fix them, and you’re good to go! Proper maintenance and service is always a great way to help eliminate a lot of problems! Take care and keep up the great work boys!

[@brian70Cuda]

One of my favorite vids you have made as of late Rob, I love to see someone bring an old (she is new to me:) rig back to life! I'll be here to watch the rebirth of the Suzuki too:) Thank you for always making awsome vids.

[@ek.related]

I absolutely love repurposing old vehicles Especially when you owe nothing on them It's a nice change of pace on your channel Robert It's cool to see something like this every now and then

[@trayboatright521]

Man I just want to say I love your show. You seem down to earth and nice to everyone you meet. I have a 95 chevy stepside I want to do the same thing to. I love to hunt, fish, dive, and pretty much anything outdoors. I get up every Sunday morning early before church and watch your show. Thank you for what you do.

[@Doc_Grizzy]

Hey Rob, long time fan here! Just wanted to say thank you to you and the rest of the family. Your videos helped me get through my deployments in my downtime and just ordered some Everglades original and heat and love them both! Thank you brotha and keep up the awesome content!

[@KamerenStrouse]

Love that you breathed life back into this truck. Some of the first videos on this channel are with that truck. It’s nostalgic DMFD, and I love that it’s back. Long life ole snowball

[@sainteddie_]

A huge S/O to Kevin! Love his funny jokes and kind demeanor. Dude is a Jack of all trades👏🏾

[@TheRealBobMills]

Videos like this are the best! They are the foundation of your channel. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing the exotic lands (and waters) of far away but for the "average Joe", you can't beat making something from nearly nothing. 👍

[@Crunchycrackerofficial]

A lot of people don’t want to take the time to make what they have work they want to just go spend money on a brand new truck and the thing I like about you is you don’t give up on anything you just keep pushing

[@ammonabasanta7796]

Hey, Robert. you should name that truck " Survivor". awesome supercool truck.

[@fishintime3692]

Wow that truck looks great now. I’d love to see the Suzuki be redone! Keep up the good work Robert!

[@Matt_from_Florida]

The best-man at my wedding bought a Samurai new from the dealer. It was a really good off-roader but not something you'd want to drive on the Interstate for very long.

[@jjasso75]

That truck has Character, and was resurrected for many years of continued enjoyment for you and the family. Money can buy flashing things, but the feeling of making what you got last is priceless!!!

[@mdv2043]

Ahh when chevy trucks used to be made in America. Love the overall and make over on that truck brother. I had the exact same yr and model. Had it tricked out to the max. When it hit 425k miles I sold it to a landscaper. I still see it going down the road every once in a while. Mine had custom ranch pin stripes from the misquite trees haha.

[@martykitson3442]

I got a soft spot for those samurai type suv's would love to see you get that going 😄

[@jaymeachum]

We loved this video! Please do more like this! And yes, Kevin is awesome!

[@williamyoast216]

Definitely wrap it. You gotta think about branding since you are a star.Your DMFD deer shadow has to be on the wrap. A flat bed has to have side boards on it. You could have rod racks put on them.

[@thewoodsytype7243]

Man yall did an outstanding job , Kevin looks to be a great addition to the team.

[@ranjeevramtahall4786]

Great truck restore love the quick restoration . Name the truck dmfd

[@MattBankstonHunt]

Love it Rob, do a bottomlands or blades wrap, most people don't realize what you can replace from a junkyard. Your guys scored big time on the full interior.

[@JimsMopars]

You can't kill them, I absolutely love my 07 LBZ Silverado with 380K on the ticker. I live full time in a 13K 5er and tow with it all the time, great job.

[@_Drewski2]

Gotta check the trans fluid when it’s running! Loved the video!

[@jaimesan2609]

Fact.

[@greygooseadventures5212]

Just watched your Pine Island story. You guys are truly sent by God. Bless you and your family for doing something meaningful. And your crew. Places in Heaven for you guys. David and Juanita

[@caseylevy7310]

How long did the "make over" take Rob??? Beautiful job... great work Kevin!!

[@jackblankenbaker1307]

The Deermenator!!! New name for the truck. Great job guys bringing her back to life.

[@yousostin119]

You are blessed to he surrounded by good people. Love the video

[@omarlopez7284]

Hands down one of my favorite vids ever👍🏼

[@luckyCenat]

Hey big shout out from Kenya Mombasa Changamwe 🇰🇪🇰🇪

[@bman098]

I think that is awesome what you guys did to the truck maybe call it “The General.” I would but that truck now in a heart beat! I would also love to see you guys fix that Suzuki.

[@hassjackson9941]

Definitely needs a spray on bedliner for the whole cab would look awesome and durable as heck!!!

[@turnermiles8022]

I reached out to him on Instagram, but I own a Line X dealership and let him know he we would cover the price and get it done for him. Would be cool!

[@chrisdroblyn]

I appreciate you allowing your team members time in the spotlight. All good leaders know it's the people behind the scenes that make leaders look great. A good name for your rig is HOG WILD.

[@love2fish78]

Name it “Pearl Snap” this was an awesome video! Love how it’s coming along! One of my dream trucks! God Bless y’all!

[@bigtigga2007]

Love the quick makeover videos, most people takes months and months to do makeover. I’m hooked.

[@kolinfritscher8043]

You should come check out the Stonington/Mystic Connecticut area. Launching out of barn island. Such a beautiful place to launch. There’s a bunch of paths you can walk down to sight see all the marshes. Sometimes you’ll see people riding their horses down there! In terms of fishing… my favorite thing to do. There’s trophy stripers down here despite me catching one yet but a bunch of slot size. We also have Tautog (blackfish), Flounder (fluke), Black Sea Bass, a bunch of Scup (porgy) and mackerel. I’d love to see you fish down here and maybe even go with! Biggest inspiration ever!!! You rock!

[@martinquintana5837]

Great job restoring your truck. You should name it "Free Spirit"

[@77Datsun280z]

Love the truck! It is awesome seeing a vehicle getting restored back to its prime! I'm also working on a restoration myself. Also big shout out to Kevin, great job!

[@davidsawchak1330]

For me personally taking something old and giving it new life is a honorable mission! I have a small ebay business where I do just that finding and saving cool old stuff that someone will love and selling it them!

[@todddarter5859]

Man I LOVE seeing stuff with some personal history being shown a little love. The Rambo restore was one of my all time favorites, this one is up there now too.

[@deryckcharran3917]

Great video Robert , you are truly faith in motion , from your first video to where u are today , nothing short of amazing , incredible , humbling , inspiring and all , simply REAL , that's what make u and your amazing entire family and friends stand out , the way u teach and educate anyone who will take the time to look at your videos , no one will leave empty handed , coz it's never about money , but it's all about how things needs to be done in love then u can accomplish anything. On another note , plz step in and support however possible , bluegabe and Kelly , they are going through some rough waters and allllll there fans , supporters and subscribes are seeing it in all there videos , that's not healthy , we all wanna see them Stand the test of time TOGETHER , not fall apart ..... Thanks Robert , love u all and plz stay safe.

[@coastalcarolinafishingnc5199]

If it has the lbz engine in it, it will go on for a long time. 375k miles on my 05 and i use yamalube to keep injectors clean and it runs great

[@kajohnson2469]

Great job on the freshen up of the Duramax. It's just the way to go. New truck prices are outrageous, and the cost of everything is going up so save where you can when you can.

[@DriggersMotorsports]

Leveling kit black rims and deermeatfordinner wrap half camo half water with fish and no more fish bowl throw some tint on it great looking truck

[@thecoach21]

Rob, I believe you just added another level of entertainment to your content production. Restoration of cars and boats with your man Kevin. I was wondering when you would let him run a GoPro by himself. He did a great job. This was a great video. I wouldn't be surprised you get a bump in views from ppl who like vehicle fix ups....

[@philipimler5516]

Truck came out awesome! It’s like when God takes us when we are a hot mess and changes us into something beautiful for His glory! I love how the truck came out. I’ve been working on my 88 Silverado for a couple years and this has definitely motivated me to get The heavy Chevy back on the road! I think Old Faithful would b a good name, maybe Jupiter. Nelly Belle was the jeep on Roy Rogers. Vida which means life in Spanish. I’m anxious to hear what you pick for a name. That truck is new money tho!! Congratulations!🎉

[@royroy88a46]

That ranch road is better than some of our city roads. Awesome video. Aluminum bed is awesome.

[@alanlaidler1566]

Camo inside,camo outside,love the idea someone suggested as the meat wagon🤣👍🏻

[@garyfrederick7607]

that's awesome Robert.. i just got a car going here about a month ago.. it sat for almost 20 years,.yep since 2003. all it was was a lawn ornament. numerous times the car crusher guys stopped and said they would buy it from me.. they offered me 50.00 bucks for it.. i said nah many a time. So i got tired of them asking to buy it,..soi put it in the air, and got to work...I replaced fuel pump, Fuel tank, fixed wiring, repaired all fuel lines, re-did transmission, re-did interior, changed all the bulbs, put new windshield in, replaces water squirters, wiper arms, and wipers.. even got new tires for it. I do need to put the new brakes and struts and hell it will be like yours,.. brand new used. Neighbors were pretty impressed that it was running after it sat that long. I said before i became an architect designer engineer i was a auto mechanic.. really they said? i said yep!! graduated with high honors from tech school. So proud to see old brought back to life instead of selling to crushers and salvage yards as scrap. be safe have fun it is what life is about.

[@jjulyans]

We have a 2002 drmx. Ordered because we wanted rubber floors. Standard transmission. 300k, finally replaced the transmission. We love our truck. Only so many standard transmissions in ca.😉

[@stephaniecervantes8800]

Man this truck is my dream truck! Thank you for what you do for your fans we love these type of videos! If you’re even thinking of selling it I’d love to purchase this beautiful truck! Seriously tho! God bless

[@mattcsaunders]

Lazarus!! That HAS to be the name. Best episode in a while.

[@connieespinosa3745]

Are you serious Kevin did all that work, the interior too, the mechanical part too, I can't even believe you could do that. You better reward and pay this guy what he's worth rob.

[@danmatherlee1311]

If you do decide to camo wrap it may I suggest using "LOST CAMO AT" pattern. It's a larger print so you don't get the repeat that you see in all the other camo patterns. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

[@jamesjackson8625]

The Rock!!! Its a solid truck. and will give you many more years of running. I would wrap it in camo just too keep the theme.

[@madmex2k]

Love the Truck Rescue! Looks great. Those Suzuki Samurai are in really high demand with off roaders! Fix it up and give fans a chance to win for donations to a charity! Just an idea. I like seeing people save on those old rigs, no use letting them rot. They aren't making them like they used to anymore. New trucks are priced so high out of a regular family's income. Great Job!!

[@paulmartin3340]

The best thing about re birthing the old truck is it's not new.... so you can take it hunting/fishing camping all sorts of things and if it gets a little beat up or scratched it doesn't really matter as much as it would if it was new! Love ya work. Cheers and happy hunting from Sydney Australia MATE 🇭🇲🦘👍🦌🐗🦊🦘🇭🇲🇺🇸🇭🇲🇺🇸

[@glensebzda6217]

Great project. Let’s see the Suzuki as a swamp machine. That would be awesome. Way to go Kevin. Your an awesome addition to the DMFD team and show.

[@revelationhomestead1776]

Been down on luck with our vehicles lately. Glad to see you bring a beater back to life. 💪

[@jacobbouser4190]

Outstanding job. Add some beefier tires, and some removable skeletonized rails to the side and back of the flatbed and you're in business!

[@switawivr6]

Leave it white! Best color for hot southern summers. Imparts a commercial/utility vibe that has less interest for a lot of thieves and vandals. Somehow always looks almost new again after a quick wash. White gets a bad rap for being boring, but it has so many benefits, too.

[@SorteX989]

I recommend painting all the chassis for you to kill all the rust and last you longer and also it will look amazing

[@ariellabra1504]

Was pretty cool to see yall turn this truck back to life!! especially from a Fl Native. Keep up the great work!!

[@Imjustinjames]

Love these kind of restoration videos. Trucks, wheelin rigs and boat restoration videos. Hope to see you do a video with the samurai. Fun little rigs

[@kevinoertel8188]

Great work Kev O coming from another Kev O! 👍 That ol Chevy got many miles to put on still! 💪🏼 Maybe one day I can do this same thing to my 04 with the LLY! Aswome restoration!

[@stormbrown4682]

Haven’t finished the video yet but I feel this truck deserves a full restoration or mud truck build 😁 would love to see that on your channel!

[@deermeatfordinner]

I’ve got some ideas!

[@christopher417]

Been wanting a truck like this ever since I got my permit. You're a lucky man Rob. If you ever need it to sell it or get rid of it, you know who to go to, haha. Anyways been loving the videos recently, good job and god bless.

[@KINGJEFFIFER]

I think I’d take that over a new truck all day. I just love the look of it. Your gonna be fishing hunting and doing outdoor things. This truck your not gonna worry about the dings and scratches. Total package. I love it

[@mayhem035]

Yup! Loved it! Juste like the boat restore! That's just great to be able to fix what you already have in hand and make it nice again!

[@75thshootist]

I loved the video, We live in such a throw away culture that its nice to see something get new life.

[@ElPlantPapi]

I’d love to see the Samurai brought back to life! Such an awesome car, I bet you can do wonders with it!

[@gwackamoley]

Loved the restoration. Kevin knew what to do completely! Fun to come along as he found the “new” parts and transformed your fern truck!

[@josegarcia-lv2wb]

Camo wrap will be awesome and it will combine with the interiors 💪🏽 Blessings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷🙏

[@joelbusching9048]

Kevin owned this video. I remember watching a bit of another video that had this bad boy truck in it. way to go guys. Slayin' Meat would've been my name.

[@ethan....]

Pull the cab off to have it wrapped, and while you do, re powder coat the frame to take care of that rust where it matters. I agree, Meat Wagon is a great name for the truck.

[@benitogonzales6354]

You should create your own custom camouflage, incorporate deer and fish outlines in the camo and wrap the truck. Keep up the great work, love your videos.

[@ryanniblett4517]

Maury Andrew's at sportsman's camo covers always delivers some of the best seat in the business. It all started from a little carport right here in my hometown in Pontotoc Mississippi. Ever up this way stop by his show room in Ecru Mississippi they have some seat covers for just about anything and can make them for anything.

[@DRK67]

Dude!!! That Samari is killer!! Would make a cool muder/rock crawler!!!

[@lvr81raider9]

Hey Rob, great video!! You guys didn't an awesome job! Brings back alot of my memories of fixing up a dead 1997 Nissan. I also called that truck the beast! Lol!! Call your truck War Pony and wrap it snow camouflage. That look different and you'll definitely get people asking why? Warm part of the US and a snow camo truck.

[@marcossaud1331]

Camo brother is the way to go 🦌 🥩 4 dinner 💯💪

[@chadmathews4631]

I had an 05 duramax I was deployed most of the time I owned it when I got back from deployment I wish I had enough money to fix it up but I had kids and a wife and a job I had to get to before I was able to work on the old truck had to sell it to get a dependable vehicle! Still miss it every day! Very cool truck man love your videos and your outlook on life! Thank you for sharing your life with me you are an amazing role model!

[@jrw2618]

Can’t wait for the Suzuki make over I love those things. Ultimate off roader so light they float over any terrain

[@ikry7354]

Please do the Suzuki samurai next!!

[@2thelight]

What's up happy people! That looks just like my first duramax, an 04, the square headlights give it away, Robert! I would have never have left a duramax on the side of the driveway, I would have sold it, they are too valuable as I am sure you know. But now she's looking mighty fine, love the aluminum bed, not sure what a wrap costs. I would not spend any more money on appearance, keep it for a injector replacement in case that happens. My 04 had a 2 inch exhaust, a chip and no catalytic and was scary fast, would get 22 mpg on the highway if I stayed at 55....but I never did :) TAKE CARE GOD BLESS WE GONE.

[@davldhess8165]

Make more videos with your Dad please mine is gone life is short praying for you and your family.

[@BrandonHvlogs]

Needs a wrap. That aluminum flatbed is the way to go. I’ll probably get one for my truck as soon as the bed rusts out.

[@jonjulian4460]

I think that is one of the smartest things that you have ever done. I would love to have that truck!! God has blessed you and I think that is awesome!

[@mattfergusonmusic9422]

Do a wrap on the lower half of the panels where the decorative line is. And maybe up the front a bit. Definitely in camo.

[@dawneaton3513]

My husband and I suggested to each other that you should camo just the bottom half of your newly camoed out duley, but don't have a clue of what to name it. You have a beautiful family. We watch all your videos from Arkansas.

[@davidbryantautomotive2127]

Never underestimate a old farm beater 👌🏾💪🏾💯

wow. this is new... what a great suprise.... a car video. love ur channel. u have a beautiful family. keep the content coming, cheer!

[@1cesaraparicio]

I would love to see it wrapped. I remember when you used to drive this truck back in the days. Awesome you kept it and now on its way to its formal glory. Great content.

[@BlackMesaSecurity]

This was a fun vid to watch. So hell ya get the Samurai back up and running.

[@coffeehunter8742]

Love it! You named it with the fern: "The Crawler" 👍👊🦌🐊🐟

Nice! I need to see that Samurai get back to life bro!! Big love from Temuco, Chile!!

[@ivans6.2ss20]

Camo wrap or OD GREEN with a leveling kit with stock wheels & bigger tires 👌. Call it the outsider. GREAT VIDEO MAN.

[@bryankerr69]

I have an '04 like yours. Not a diesel though. I have the 5.3 Vortex. I have the cloth interior with the 60/40 seat in i the front. I would much rather have that center council like yours. I'll have to look for one at the salvage yard. Thanks for sharing.

[@RyanRyker]

@Robert Arrington, hey there I saved my truck and I love mine. I have some rust spots to get off and bondo. Sometimes recycling or what I say is UP-CYCLING anything is better then tossing it in a jumk yard some place. Id love to do it to a boat, but I know nothing about boats, Ive never even been on a boat to fish. But I am considering this adventure in the next few years, i just need to do some research and find a boat that will work for my wife and myself. As always love your videos, please keep doing what you love to do and we will keep watching, til next time bud, take care.

[@mshafer2006]

Great thing about diesel’s is you can let it sit for a few years and the diesel fuel doesn’t go bad like gasoline with ethanol does. LB7 is a decent DirtyMax motor.
