I'm a simple man, I see a Grind hard and I go n Turbo my Lawn mower.

[@Torque4]

HA

[@matteogalafassi3273]

I'm pretty sure that if you put a turbo on a lawn mower, you can cut down a whole tree

[@Issac-h4f]

Hey yeah!

[@IlllIlIlIIlll]

Cutting grass with efficiency!

[@MichaelPeterDalsgaard]

The drone jump shot. Wow. Droneshots where amazing in this one.

[@peteralexander6514]

that shot should make it in the intro

[@trevlanes]

That was cool!

just went to the comments to say this, BANGER shots dude

[@benholleran3753]

Holy cow! Came here to say this.

[@Stronthor]

Everyone's gushing over the drone jump shot and rightly so, but it's the welding POV's that really stood out to me. Wouldn't mind seeing lots more of those!

[@SentandBentClips]

more to come

[@Trekzaz]

I as looking for another comment appreciating that also 😂

[@SteveEh]

18:48 I'd watch more of that!

[@mrastleysghost]

@@SentandBentClips You should get a filter for your cameras so you can film closeups and see the arc on the welders and the arc droid

Yes we need more

[@AerialFidelity]

Dude, an Alaska trip in the Humvee would be an awesome series. Hope to see it in the future!

[@viniperini]

pls do it @EdwinOlding @GrindHardPlumbingCo

[@waylonk2453]

That would be a fitting challenge for this machine

[@f.lyondewall9705]

Alaska would love to have y'all, I just asked everyone up here and we all said come'on!

[@GrindHardPlumbingCo]

Looking forward to boosting this LS 🤟 Would you guys rather see a turbo or supercharger?

[@killerdiller75]

Supercharger, go for it!😎

[@JarnDrives]

Looking forward to Turbocharging my lawn mower with a stage 2

[@owendodman3037]

You know we all want to see both. Take inspiration from Crazy Carls Turbo system for the 12V. We believe in you!

[@Joeguy7479]

Supercharger

[@ZSMracing]

Supercharger, all the torque🔥🔥🔥

[@UncleChester]

12:08 Has anyone pointed out the irony of things from the wall of destruction falling to create more destruction? You can't write that kind of poetry.

[@simonabra1813]

🤣🤣

[@GrindHardPlumbingCo]

@@UncleChester you know hadn’t even thought of that until now that is hilarious

[@HillbillyHermitRC]

Y'all are my favorite fabrication/hooning channel on YT. Ethan's lack of self preservation coupled with his fabrication/design skills is top tier. Extremely entertaining to say the least. Then add Edwin's editing and drone piloting skills. Chef's kiss. With how he keeps sending this Humvee. I hope y'all plan to beef up the tie rod situation. Would hate to see this project pigeon toe off a table top jump. I agree on the Alaska road trip once the project is finished. Maybe a Rubicon trail challenge as well......

[@nwvfd22]

Every time Ethan has an existential crisis over some ridiculous part, module, or Humvee weirdness is pure poetry and I'm here for it.

[@EdwinOlding]

Ethan’s last jump genuinely scared me! You would think I’d be used to it by now but that is just crazy.

[@Luca-gn3mp]

How did you see the whole video in one minute? 😂

[@BunzJackson]

@@Luca-gn3mp almost like he had seen it before the video came out somehow

[@Rattus-Norvegicus]

​@@BunzJacksonPatreons...smh

[@bl00dh4nd4]

Tell Ethan to add some hydraulic bump stops. If those shocks bottom out it'll be a bad day.

[@c-w-h]

@@EdwinOlding not that bad. But at a minimum. He should install low profile mechanical suspensions at the base of the seat. They typically are used for tractors. But continuous vibration to the spine is bad. He needs to reduce as much as possible. Most of us truck drivers dont get good suspension in the trucks. I have had far worse than him. With an air suspension seat. Dont ask me where. I nicknamed it demon road. Extreme Percent grade short hills. Typically about 10 in a row. You charge at the bottom. Cause it feels like a boat going over a wave. All you see is hood and sky. Very fun and dangerous. 180 point double Pretrip is required.

[@CRneu]

I just wanna shoutout a big appreciation for this channel being true to itself. I like that there aren't weird masculine moments, weird patriot nonsense, and just in general that whole "I make things so I gotta be loud/proud/obnoxious" mentality that a lot of building channels have. Grind Hard is like chilling with my friends while we build cool stuff.

[@ss-gc9qq]

Absolutely agree, these guys haven't changed their personalities in 7 years, despite their channel scaling so much.

[@randomdestructn]

Yep. Finally got around to subscribing. This is the vibe I like.

[@jonlake4754]

That is the perfect explanation of this channel.

[@Snugglez187]

Masculinity and patriotism are not bad things. Some people are just obnoxious and some people aren't.

[@djdy13]

you real for this

[@IdahoBruce-r3g]

Build the camper and do the Alaska trip, guys. Do it in time to arrive there for next Fourth of July Car Launch! You WON'T REGRET IT!

[@davidanalyst671]

Yeah, I saw that on tiktok and tagged grindhard a couple times, but we really need to see Grindhard launch some old unused shtt in the 4th of july launch!!!

[@sparkygames3968]

34:40 "I wonder if he is gonna come back and jump it harder" Edwin "he will" 😂😂😂

[@manks5491]

Such a sick build, but we need an episode of Grind Hard putting siding on Ethan's house!

[@slyderfn5676]

Alaska trip with the humvee sound like something i would 100% watch. Keep up the contente!!

[@davidanalyst671]

we already saw the trip where everything went wrong. We should just focus on the great footage, the wild builds people have out there, the trails, and incredible scenery

[@gregscofield7044]

Merch idea! You could take all of those hexagons (50 cent piece size) you cut out of everything, stamp or press your logo onto one side, think of something different for the other side.. then sell them as tokens or even challenge coins (easy to look up challenge coins if you’re unfamiliar). You could even give away (quarter size) “Premium edition” ones at the events you attend, with code phrases you provide in your video content.

Just superb camera and editing work. I actually really like Ethans selfie cam work, the panning time lapses are on point. I'd watch hours of welding cam footage, but the drone work.....wow, lucky or not, that was the coolest thing, thank you Gentlemen. Oh, nice Hummer to!

A Humvee nose dive directly into everything you just built says it all. I can appreciate you continuing to challenge yourself to make things. Sometimes it’s not worth it but when it is and satisfies that itch why not!!

[@BurchellAtTheWharf]

13:30 man, from back at sub 100k subs to now, you guys have come ahead decades from where yea all started

[@geoffjohnson30]

I am a quadriplegic and to watch your channel keeps my mind going! I’m trying to get hands back to fab again! Keep up the awesome work! Amazing content!

[@gregm7583]

Never stop trying!!! You got this bro!!

[@andyp3494]

Premium camera work by Steven on the machining 🤙

[@ComplicatedStuff]

Yes, the spring does carry the weight of the vehicle but that’s also the max force it sees (at full compression). The shock attachment sees higher dynamic loads as it needs to slow down the spring during extension (so thats the spring force) and slow down the vehicle during compression (mass times (de)acceleration)

[@BobV1la]

Also, they're built literally for war so no shit everything is gunna be hilariously over built as a safety measure. I know if I had people shooting rockets at me the last thing I'd want is underbuilt suspension and drivetrain components lol.

[@fwijffels]

And when it hits the bumbstops, it carries all the weight.

[@wildvandee1079]

It is so surprising that you guys were able to lose that much weight just by changing out stuff and making custom stuff this humvee is an absolute beef cake I love this build. I do think a camper would look super cool with this truck the ultimate off-road overland machine.

[@Michael666CA]

A grinder guard makes a perfect grinder holder. Just cut the mounts off and weld to a 1x flat bar.

[@JazzMan2001]

I do my powdercoat curing with a 1kw electric lamp heater - put the part on a piece of welding wire hanging in front of it. I move larger parts around in front of it and cure it in sections - Worth investigating for your bigger pieces

[@matto7354]

The stock springs are so big because they are a 2 1/4 ton rated truck. Please Crack the geared hibs open and check the nuts that hold the output stub shaft in place. There are 2 different designs but they are both known for letting go, resulting in a tire departing the vehicle with the stub attached. I've personally been in 2 in 9 years of Marine Corps service. Love the channel, I always look forward to what's next.

[@elliothickle3247]

That drone shot under the Humvee was epic! I was fearing for that drones life but Edwin's timing was spot on!

Love it, without hesitation Edwin's reply to Steve's, "I wonder if he's going come try it harder", "He will". Inevitable Steve, inevitable.

[@jameso7826]

The cinematography in this entire video was amazing. I was sitting her like, "Damn, these are some really awesome slowmo closeups on stuff, they really stepped up their filming game" then ya'll had to go and jump a drone with a humvee.
