[@drfrenchfrythe3rd]

Take the light-bars for the bus!!!!

[@MrThatguyaj]

drfrenchfry Also keep the winch!

[@guni7197]

Oh yeah!

[@evandavis1665]

For sure or maybe put the winch on the trailer

[@ReverbTek7]

that's a great idea. Then he can just winch the cars onto the trailer instead of driving it on

[@tiktube9136]

Yes! A winch is a great thing to keep since IT WAS FREE.

[@jaspervandewiele502]

You better not F-up the drift truck :)

[@julianlarsson8145]

Jasper Van de Wiele He already has plans of doing that. Putting a fckn v8 in it

[@MrJayArt]

Julian Larsson any v8 will destroy that shit ass motor that’s in it already, and most other 4 cylinders

[@julianlarsson8145]

RedMannequinDesign I was not saying he should go with stock engine. V8 swaps in jdm cars are wrong.

[@anthonyallen1326]

At least it's a 1uz, a JDM V8

[@julianlarsson8145]

Anthony Allen I know, but still not good

[@Ihaveadashcam]

No matter the failure or success I will always love and watch your videos.

[@mikeakamiky7245]

CarPro Installs same here graet content no matter what it is

[@samgolub3516]

Same bro

[@stepienryan4381]

I’ll be with you

[@Avetho]

That's why we are here man, for Caleb and his content, we watch it because he wanted to share it, that's why we enjoy it!

[@williamthomas8108]

You said it bro I love these guys here on KZbin that are will to take the risks to build what they think is cool and that's what make him a artist and not a puppet that's worried about making the money

[@robertdevald]

I'm quite sad, I think I was one of the only people on this channel who really loved the Mudpanda project. I thought it was great, but obviously if it doesn't make you happy building it, and most people didn't like it, then getting rid of it is the right decision. I wish you the best of luck with the drift truck project, I will be watching attentively for sure!

[@Sr-ps5eo]

R.I.P monetization, and Panda.

[@beatersho3497]

WubWubWub Gamer there was an ad when I watched this video

[@anthonyhauser3467]

I saw an ad

[@Klemhaken]

the new mic is soo sick, soo more chill and natural

[@silentsamuel_]

Oh dang man... the moment I read the title in the notification I felt my heart drop. I grew to like the mud panda but if it has to go then it has to go. Although here is to the drift truck!

[@tiktube9136]

I also super like the mud panda. But doing shit Half-assium does kill the cool factor.

[@Oban2006]

I just laughed because I called it

[@pybson1278]

You can weld together a buggy with that engine, you could improve with your welding skills and it would be very fun( sry for my english and greetings from Poland

[@MrThatguyaj]

Your English is good ;)

[@user-cl1vx7ft3y]

Super Cool Fluf bfh!

[@_Anthony___]

Patterihno Your English is fine its just the vocabulary that you use.

[@petrosst]

Finally Gingium

[@user-rw8zb9jv6n]

Stam GR too much work put into it

[@sotosdragsteras141]

Finally another Greek

[@petrosst]

Sotos Dragsteras hahaha patriwthhh

[@Yans_]

haha eimaste pantou

[@petrosst]

John Lapratsiotis etsi ree mlkesss

[@jesielcosta1632]

I like this project, it's "out of the box" thinking. For me, EVERY vehicle can be a "project car". One more thing: you started with an old, rusty van with a lot of things to fix, and made an awesome vehicle. That's what matters.

[@xMusicFull]

The mic quality is way better than the one from yesterday

[@lucasrustt]

weld the diff on the truck and see if it can be something to learn the basics about drifting, for someone that is starting

[@PACKERMAN2077]

Id say your biggest failure was the RX-7.... but then there was the WRX.... and the 500hp Miata swap.... and the slide.... and the Toyota.... and the hair.... *BUT THAT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS!*

[@hamie8075]

I don't think so.. he created good amount of content with it..

[@jackdren9974]

It wasn't a failure. It was just the wrong car for a drift build.

[@_Gingium_]

But that actually ran and drove more than 30mph lol

[@mmodtomic7119]

I feel like he gave up on the FC too early, but he DID make that car look really good. Not a failure in my book.

[@tariqsaleh6153]

PAKTRA_PRODUCTIONS WATCH_DOGS the wrx was a perfect dally what’s the failure in that

[@TypicalPeen]

Gingium, i hate to say it because i love your channel and what you do but you need to start finishing builds. I know it doesn't seem that bad now but shit starts adding up. First you said you were going to engine swap molly, then you said you were going to drift the rx7, now your selling the battle van? People dont like this stuff man. Much love tho.

[@PACKERMAN2077]

Itz_Ya_Boi_Ryan It could turn him into a Tavarish.... working on a car for as long as the views come in and then sell it.

[@timothystrunk7323]

Amen

[@josephsamsor1698]

Itz_Ya_Boi_Ryan the molly swap was just an idea, he only made one video. You saw what happened to the battle van and the same with the rx7. Not much he could’ve done. Things don’t always work out. It’s not like your average 240sx build where it’s been done thousands of times and there’s a perfect bolt on kit. Money was also an issue for the rx7 specifically.

[@TypicalPeen]

Joseph Samsor he literally tore down the engine that was supposed to go into molly so he could rebuild it. He hypes us for projects that never happen.

[@josephsamsor1698]

Itz_Ya_Boi_Ryan hence the “one video”. I’m sure he purposely hypes us up only to have someone buy his engine or simply not have the skill or funds to do something. After all it is a free channel. He owes us

[@TimothyCow23]

You never added the fujiwara tofu sticker That’s your biggest failure

[@garlicbreadjenkins5780]

initial d the truck

[@flux7945]

ur the failure, bovine man

[@ruutoyamato1349]

You know it's awkward that Adding the Fujiwara could more or less "Add" the quality of the car because of Initial D fans/Initial D-tards? (Don't hate on me i also like Initial D)

[@giggythekid4330]

I stumbled across your channel through the rally Miata build. But, it was because of this Previa build that made me subscribe to your channel. I was blown away by the creativity and uniqueness of this build. It was refreshing to see something different, and IMO very creative. Great work all around. I love watching all your vids.

[@AudioTherapy0]

I have never stopped watching your videos :)) And I loved that build

[@jacobholloway4433]

Audio Therapy I loved that build too

[@jacobholloway4433]

Audio Therapy comment KEEP THAT VAN

[@megalol0705]

i really didn't like the mudpanda even though i liked the concept. You didn't enjoy working on it and it showed. The video in which you revealed the drift truck was full of passion and enthusiasm rather than frustration. in that video you seemed like a different person, so keep at it and i hope this project won't be such a struggle.

[@AeroPrixma]

CANT WAIT FOR THE DRIFT TRUCK! Mini-Van was a boring build Imo.

[@_Gingium_]

Agreed!

[@marquis6539]

instagram.com/drift_pickup_engineering/?hl=en

[@slushers2822]

AeroPrixma i liked the build but he didnt to much to it

[@lucasbarnard2257]

Lmo laughing my off... YOU HAD ONE JOB

[@janekk2487]

Well hey, I've learned a ton from the Battle Van episodes and they captivated me. You humored me and inspired me to take on some of the upkeep of my all wheel drive automatic Previa. I got a dream now to one day soon turn it into that bad ass battle van. Your great channel is the key to my success. Thank you are the man!

[@samuelboulay8605]

Finish the rallyata! Wrx awd swap!!

[@IamBATMAN2024]

That’s never going to happen!

[@josephsamsor1698]

Samuel Boulay thats a very tough build. The drift truck will be cheaper and not as hard to make happen. It’ll be better for the channel after the couple months of confusion.

[@garlicbreadjenkins5780]

gtr awd swap

[@rogertheexplorer4347]

He atleast took it as a learning lesson and not an oppurtunity to forcefully advertise boring content unlike other youtubers. I would always love watching his videos even if they fail to gain views. Keep it up Gin!

[@brandone1289]

Yea I was kinda expecting this video. At least you’re moving on!

[@rem223sbr2]

Dang gingium people are hating on you for selling it, dude! You do you! You are the guy doing the stuff and working on the cars “hyping me up and it never happens!” Well no, people don’t know what is going on with you or money or anything. I love you gingium and your real fans always will, you do you man! Do what you want!!

[@Kj-bg3iw]

RIP mud panda, not, good to see it go. Axle is lookin healthy and grown up, I remember when he was just a baby running around your old shop.

[@username5172]

Being able to acknowledge and learn from your failures is very big. I have been a long time fan, like 2 and a half years now, and to be honest, I was subconsciously losing interest in the channel because of the battle van, but you got me re-hooked with this vid, as I really respect your critical thinking

[@Carlos.Rivera]

We said since 1st video, selling the rx7 was 2nd failure

[@Swept.vizuals]

Carlos Rivera agreed

[@jackdren9974]

The RX7 was boring. I don't know the reason but it really felt like a boring build. I'm excited for the drift truck though, the v8 is gonna be awesome.

[@Swept.vizuals]

Yeah but I remade the rx7 in forza but its speed is so low

[@xStr8UPDoPex]

I actually enjoyed the rx7 build the most. Looked cool, reliable, and was realistic. Alot of channels are losing peoples interest because they do these crazy, extravagant builds that no average person can afford (look at the social blades of those utbers). Sure its cool, but you can't relate at all. The dude bought a cheap car, learned to paint, bought affordable parts, and had fun with it. Also, rx7 has a cool factor unlike the miata.

[@TempoMontages]

he should have 1uz swapped the rx7

[@drayvaind6103]

people seeing you do something you love will blow up your channel. i hope you build that truck so well and have a great time doing it.

[@Omegaone1]

Battle van idea was cool.. just your version was a rust bucket and pointless to to work on. exicted to see the Mazda drift truck build

[@PACKERMAN2077]

Omegaone1 it wasn't focused he didn't even know what he was calling the thing he was planning on working on and kept changing his mind on it.

[@JBPlaysGames1]

The go-kart idea is GREAT! Since you'll have an engine,trans,suspension brakes,front and rear end. Everything will basically be there,just have to build the cage and what not for it!

[@dakotafontenot]

Let's hope this isn't the next rx7 lol, I can't wait to see what this truck becomes!

[@bunnyoken9687]

I still think Gingium should try and build a Locost out of the Battle Van. It would give him more welding experience and more content for his channel without spending too much more, because the van has almost all the parts for it.

[@DG_427]

You are selling it? I hope you are telling people it will snap in half if you go offroad...

[@_Gingium_]

Hey, frame rails are solid!

[@baileywestby]

you should of slammed the mini van and turned it into a no fucks given car or turned it into a drag race van

[@Madnyai]

Bailey Westby you mean like boostedboiz with their mini van?

[@baileywestby]

マサムネ but with a gingium twist

[@wheelscamp1440]

so you mean buy tires that are way too big and cut the body to pieces to force them in?

[@Obv1ously]

Nobody should ever lose hope for this channel.. I think that you are one of the best car youtubers rn, no clickbait videos, good taste and you kinda have talent for building things :D that is a big plus right there

[@gtaboy5ify]

I hated that mini van but I didn’t leave because I love your videos as annoying as it was that you was working on it I still watched them to support you, hopefully this next project will bring back the subs

[@rubenbraekman4515]

Yo ging, your mic is 👌 we're all glad to see the previa go. Let's all admit the car sucked. But! You can come back to this in the future, buy a not rusted out, awd, automatic previa, even though they are quite expensive.

[@JDizzle420]

That sucks man. I hope the money from the Battle Van will fund the new truck.

[@_dervalentin7720]

Azech Battle Van was Sponsored

[@cjscarsandcrap1749]

OXDerValentinXO what does that have to do with what the original comment said? He’s still making money from selling it

[@KasamS]

CJ Mervyn and from the videos he made

[@dougbrown3824]

Thing is not even worth 100$

[@axelfeliz1881]

He'll have enough for half a shift boot

[@mott153]

You're upgrading man, and I love it. I wouldnt say the van was a failure. Because you had heart behind it and that's what counts. I think what you should of done was did a lot more shopping, to find one that wasnt literally falling apart. Then it would of came out soo much better. Either way, your killing it right now gingium, dont stop.

[@benbspammin3181]

I remember when axel was a tiny kitty :D he was and still is the cutest.

[@benbspammin3181]

omg offended lol internet bullies oof ima cry in a corner now

[@emanuilnedqlkov206]

she is a he tho

[@benbspammin3181]

mis spelt it :p

[@diegocarballo4287]

I would really like to see the first vid on the truck be a seat installation or strait up interior revamp... and btw i never stopped watching yours videos, i always found your sense of humor relatable

[@midgiefc395]

If gingium posts a video im gonna watch it simple

[@89ry89]

i didnt really care for the battle van videos but i always kept watching im pretty sure i watched every one.. that build made me glad i am in california with no rust issues out here...

[@andthenwut]

If you want an amazing off roader that will blow up your channel build yourself a pre-runner! Its an off rad beast basically

[@joma4499]

Hey Caleb, I own an 87 b2000 truck and I have the perfect wheel setup for you. Being that I own basically the same truck as you I can say first hand that these are pigs. Get some 15 x 7 steelies and a 205/50 r15 tire. The smaller diameter will let you lower it a ton amd also quicken the truck as a whole from turn in response to actual acceleration (it will feel like a completely different vehicle in a good way) and will give you a great look with a little tire poke which looks great on these things.

[@christianbruno1150]

Mic sounds really good. Almost too good, unlike your car situation. Jk love your videos.

[@ricebox1178]

Here's a couple of things I would like to point out: 1: When you said that you're gonna buy a lifted minivan, I was thinking about something like an Oddysey. When you said mid-engine, I was so excited, because who would've thought that you got your hands on a Previa? If someone thinks that it's an MR2 then they forgot that it's a minivan. 2: Yes, you could've bought a better Previa, but at least you've saved this one from its horrible conditions (somewhat). There's really nothing better than give a old rusty car a second chance tbh

[@alessandrovitii]

Ripium

[@RockdaGamer]

I’m really excited to see what you can do with the drift truck! At first I didn’t like the idea but now that I’ve seen the truck and heard the plans for it I’m all about it!!! Good luck with the new build and goodbye to the pos previa :DD

[@itsjustspoons3448]

I honestly love the truck but that rx7 tho😩

[@BullPlop11]

Thank god that thing is going bye-bye! Can’t wait to see the drift truck build!

[@hawkesbayallday3162]

RIP Mud Panda 😭🐼

[@Fredster1R_]

You will not be missed battle van... Looking forward for the drift truck though!

[@Kristo99]

yeah do something with the old engine fro the truck

[@williamthomas8108]

Sami Bätman that engine is a dime a dozen and worthless what would you do with it?

[@anders2821]

Gingum buys a truck for drifting, a race car for dailying and a minivan for offroading

[@sakisgeo3253]

uz is also a v8 that means that it also is super heavy You wont de able to drift it Go with a 13b or an sr20 Or if you realy want to stand out make something realy mint go honda k series

[@williamthomas8108]

I did a 1UZ swap in a 95 Toyota 4Runner and it was lighter then the 22re 4cyl because it's all aluminum it's also known for hitting over a million miles and can handle large amounts of boost I have seen many drift and race cars with 1UZ swaps

[@sakisgeo3253]

Sry, Didn't knew it was aluminum block Still limited space and for sure heavier than a k-seried an SR or a 13B

[@williamthomas8108]

Sakis Geo not by much and it's got way more torque

[@williamthomas8108]

Sakis Geo I race at the local track and do a lot of off roading please before you post things online make sure they are facts

[@ChugChug3]

I didn’t lose faith in the channel, just kinda waited till you sold the van to keep watching, which is why I’m here now!

[@PixelVarnox]

Wait, you say you have two cars, but what happened to the blue Miata that you were drifting?

[@christofer95]

Pixel That is one of the cars? He has 2 mx5 "miatas" that's it. The rest is a truck, a bus and a van

[@PixelVarnox]

They're still cars, but sure whatever.

[@christofer95]

Pixel they are vehicles, a car is just a type of vehicle

[@PixelVarnox]

usually when people say cars, they refer to all types of styles of cars, trucks, coupes, sedans, hatchbacks and etc. that's what I was getting at.

[@christofer95]

Pixel I see how you're thinking. It's just that a truck is more of a workvehicle and a mini van is like a small buss, we actually call them minibuss in swedish

[@Gold-em5mh]

I wasn't originally going to suggest this, but you should bed-liner the bed of the Drift Truck. I know you haul stuff, and it is really just preventative maintenance. Just a suggestion, keep up the good work mate!

[@takumifujiwara9023]

Poor Previa she deserve better life. Biggest fail was the RX-7

[@_dervalentin7720]

Takumi Fujiwara nahhhhhh

[@axelfeliz1881]

Takumi Fujiwara nah the RX-7 was a success in my book. The previa was a bigger failure

[@williamthomas8108]

That was mazdas fault I have worked on the Wankel engine and there is a reason people LS swap them

[@jdm_john8240]

I do not know if this will get seen above some of the nonsense hate comments but the video quality has improved dramatically, I like all the still edits your doing and showing different views of the cars. I wish other channels did it too. Like spend a whole video working on something and not showing some nice stills is a bit disappointing. So well done on that, Also the new MIC is amazing, its refreshing to see a wide shot and being able to hear you everywhere you go, so much more professional. This beats TJ hunt's videos where its his face for the entire time and his hand running through his crap hair every 2 minutes.

[@Tiwey]

4:03 the miata got new hood vents?

[@smithhawkins6331]

Yeah, it was a video from a little while ago

[@MrThatguyaj]

He took the snorkel off and made an actual intake since the snorkel looks dumb if hes gonna rally cross it

[@Iamdesignproducts]

The fact that you were able to own up to and learn from the shitpanda is seriously respectable and puts you so far ahead of other youtubers who are just too high and mighty to do any wrong. You're a real honest person who puts in hard work and really strives to improve his life, skills, and garage, and makes for some really kick ass content. Excited to continue watching!!

[@Munch.b0x]

Please drift the b2200 around more while its still stock💯💯

[@williamthomas8108]

Yung Garlic Knot it's hard to drift with open diff

[@Munch.b0x]

William Thomas he can weld it up right quick

[@guni7197]

*Finally! I'm so hyped for this Mazda project! Cool small truck, i love the look of it :D Can't wait to get my licence so i can buy and work on my car! Greetings from Poland Celeb! Love you!*

[@nicklabudie8463]

I don't understand why he likes offroading so much but won't go and by a real 4x4 truck

[@brandondannys-menary3678]

Raging Squirel lol very true..although doing it the way he does gets way more views

[@dougbrown3824]

Raging Squirel cause he is fucking stupid

[@jdm_john8240]

NO...Because he isn't boring. Step outside the box once in a while you sad bastards

[@amielcuya3903]

Doug Brown nawp bro. The reason is he wants something that is unique

[@CowbellCustoms]

Amiel Cuya being stuck every 12 seconds isn't unique. If he was in the dunes and had a good lsd in the Miata I'm sure it would rip. But in the woods in the mud can't say 4wd isn't going to beat a open rear rwd car Everytime.

[@Silvermoss-Auto]

The problem wasn't that it was a previa but its the fact you already had an off road vehicle. I'm sure many of us were expecting a drift van such as the tofu drift previa. I still look forward to future content.

[@vitttorioprigalih]

Where’s the ‘MUD’ part of the mud panda ?

[@alexrichards2784]

7:57 the way you said drift truck had me dying

[@jacalzdev]

You should save all the parts you take out because after modifying enough cars you can build one more car 🚘

[@williamthomas8108]

Jacalz the parts on that truck are a dime a dozen and not worth doing anything with other then selling to make the build cost less. I used to think like that and I ended up with a junkyard behind my house with worthless parts

[@kylewise3111]

I'm new to the channel, but I gotta say I'm excited to see what you can do with the truck. Definitely got a subscription here, and its cool to see more IL fam on here 🤙

[@prestonblaineroddam7986]

Next build is a jeep Cherokee xj 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@alexlivingston1646]

z71 boosted That would be the best build since he's never stuck with an actual off road build

[@prestonblaineroddam7986]

Alex Livingston ikr it would honestly bring soooooo many ppl to his channel , he can make a perfect truck if he does a jeep xj

[@alexlivingston1646]

z71 boosted I have one, you can get one for so cheap and they are so simple to mod and take apart, there are so many aftermarket lift kits, bumpers and stuff. That would bring so many people to his channel I bet. He said he wanted an actual off-road car not a lifted van and a old Jeep is the perfect way to do that. Plus the inline 6 can take anything you throw at it.

[@prestonblaineroddam7986]

Alex Livingston I'm honestly in the process of getting a 1989 jeep xj for $800 and I'm honest Hoping he gets one bcz that will give most ppl opportunities to do the same for there's as the way he's doing his if he gets one

[@MrThatguyaj]

Well, the only problem with that is that he wants his builds to be unique, sure it might bring some people to his channel, but it isn't how he is, he doesn't want to be like everyone else (I think, I don't want to assume), for example the rally miata and the school bus

[@johnclamshellsp1969]

I will admit that the "Battle van did not interest me in any way. The reason for this was it was a low rate rusted junk van. I am 100% impressed with the "Adventure bus" build and cant wait to see more videos on this. If you want to do a "Zombie battle van", get a Ford E-350 diesel van with 4X4 and build from that point. The 4X4 E350 van can be found online and sold in upper USA to Alaska. For the adventure bus, I say put a rooftop AC unit in, 3X 150W solar panels, battery's inverter and sink unit. Thank You John a Streamwood Ill

[@jeromeguertin4365]

Try to tow the trailer with the drift truck

[@amirelfourani4499]

Yes

[@brandoncaldwell95]

it can handle the aluminum trailer fine. just it wont handle the anything loaded onto it.

[@williamthomas8108]

The brakes and if he has to start from a stop on a hill in the rain (I live in Seattle) that would kill the clutch or spin the tires (that's why autos are better for towing and off road)

[@tristan8243]

Lmao what?! the truck is the one that is going on the trailer, cant sleep in a b2200 at a event

[@brandoncaldwell95]

Tristan are you dumb? he said to see if it can do it, and it will empty. thats it. not hauling the miata and that

[@sfinzetauken]

Take the led bars for the bus and the truck! And keep the winch for load cars on the trailer :)

[@ardenunger2932]

Isn't this the second time you tried to sell it? xD

[@Endidixknsej]

Arden Unger yes

[@ProjectDiode]

Awesome. Super stoked for the drift truck 🤙

[@SFH_Jenkins]

V8 Swap the pickup, because you need a V8 car. And you have a Pickup so this is a good chance

[@diegos5316]

The Medic he's going to put a 1uz in it which is a v8

[@SFH_Jenkins]

NICE! Sorry, im bad with the real engine names. I know LS and that's it. xD

[@brandoncaldwell95]

i personally would have gone LQ4 with a supercharger. its a silverado, tahoe and suburban 2004-06 5.3L.if he would find a z71, gets aluminum heads on a cast block. They pack a pumch at 355hp. Add a supercharger on a holley efi setup, that puppy will burn rubber for blocks. Cheaper than a LS as its LS based but work model. Not only that, but its fun drifting a 1500 pickup. Done it, and do not regret any bit of it. In that little truck, it would be a rocket on wheel with 450 to 550hp being straight piped...

[@nicksaj1797]

Snipe Stud00 lq4 and lq9 is a 6.0l from the hd trucks and vans i have one in my firebird. 5.3s are lm7, l59 theres a few rpo codes they made all aluminum 5.3s with ls6 heads and flat top pistons that would be a good option to get

[@Blurgamer17]

If only an LT Series V8 was a cheap option... (LT Being the LS Replacement in new C7 Corvettes) Otherwise, HELLCAT ENGINE!!

[@nathanfisher4116]

I think he should keep the drift truck extremely clean. Like a sleeper. I personally love the looks of that truck

[@corey0189]

I still want the drift truck rotary swapped.... bc it’s a Mazda

[@kendalljones99]

It's bumming me out how hard you're being on yourself! Your channel's awesome!

[@thomashayhurst1318]

Yay! The trashvan is no more. :)

[@grahambowman5077]

You do yourself a huge disservice. If you had simply gotten a 4wd auto it would have been an awesome project, But on a possitive note....you got loads of experience that you can only get with a project like this....well done!

[@HomesteadGaming]

You should debadge the drift truck

[@williamthomas8108]

Average Gamer Guy why?

[@HomesteadGaming]

William Thomas because it gives cars (or in this case trucks) a lot cleaner of a look.

[@DropHopesAnchor]

It was so rad to meet you at the drift event in Wisconsin i had the 350Z with the chassis mount wing! I would love to see a tug of war between this and the rally miata!

[@gabrieldenney9428]

Why do u keep buying then selling cars, stay with a project

[@cobaltlukather9045]

because half the people who watched Gingium before he bought the battle van stopped as soon as they saw it.

[@polo5012]

Honestly man, I think this build would have failed even if it was a clean van. The problem was that it was a van, not it’s condition. IMO. I always give your builds a shot for example the bus and rally Miata, they weren’t my style but after a video or 2 I was invested. I couldn’t do that with a van... I TRIED to get into it for the sake of supporting the channel, but after a couple videos of it I was like nope! Excited for the drift truck! GL.

To make it a drift car u should get : 1x Mazda Miata front axle and 1x Mazda Miata rear axle Plz like and comment so gingium can see

[@scottmckinstry1698]

Uh...the 1uz would snap those rear Miata axles like a twig

[@RickJames-fm4ld]

Idk about the axles but he said in the last video he's using a miata subframe and suspension

[@williamthomas8108]

That's what he said he was going to do if you watched the video before this

[@zackhines2071]

Over a couple of friends and people i know that have done 1UZ swaps, they are never happy. They say its a boring motor. So its not to say that you will not be happy with it. I am cool with whatever though (obviously its your car you do you) I just can't wait to see it all come togeter, and what the future will hold after all that you have planed with this build will have to offer.

[@maxrivera2582]

Make a video putting truck bed liner in the truck bed and also put a tool box back there to try to balance the weight. Good luck Caleb

[@eddylaboriemaye1305]

Truck+ some nice wheels+ slammed+pulledfenders+nice paint(including that front bumper)+ make it go sideways= perfect

[@felixpr737]

Really looking forward to the new build man! Truth is i really got tired of most KZbinrs with a 2jz swap.You always bring original content to the scene and as long as you continue to do what you really want i will support you ✌

[@debruynvanzyl6854]

Do A lead fulled bumper at the back of the drift truck for weight and it will be hidden nicely

[@keithparker7412]

I am really excited for the drift truck build, but I would really like to see the WRX-AWD swap for the rally miata. That would be an extremely cool and unique build series!

I only came to your channel for the lifted previa. But i live out west where a cheap offroad camper makes sense.

[@MenacingCap]

I’ve always loved all your builds (especially the school bus and I’m so excited to for the b2200) but the battle van just wasn’t my thing. I don’t think any less of your channel because you chose to build it it just wasn’t my thing. I enjoy your channel immensely and I love watching how you’ve changed and your content has changed over the years. Keep it going man 👍🏻

[@nicklagnese556]

I’m definitely excited! And 100% have my faith back in you

[@aidenfoss7200]

I love mini trucks so much I'm hyped for this build. Also if you plan on boosting it but don't plan on forged internals. I recommend a 1990-1993 1uzfe they cheaper out on the Pistons after that and don't know how to take their boost too well

[@magetolight]

MR2 thing is exactly why I didn't watch the Previa videos, particularly since MR cars going off-road is kind of cool(Lancia 037 for example) but also cause it was just after you sold the car that brought me to the channel, the RX7.

[@ateelmo]

It’s a good idea the waste van is going to a new home it was great learning also with welding but in the long run it’s better to move on to the drift truck not having endless wasted time of problems Keep the light bars for the bus put one on the back of the bus for when out at night can see strapping car down or working on the car Also put the Winch on bus as well if ever stuck can winch yourself out Great videos and your work is great too👍🏼

[@mathieugaulin5609]

honestly I wasn't excited for the drift truck but now that i know you're putting a toyota V8 in it I can"t wait
