LS Humvee Gets Race Car parts!

[@LizzyB123]

So cool having two fabricators tackling the job. It just looks fun. Padrick is a great addition to the team!

[@mikes78]

Agreed. As much enthusiasm and youth Will brought to things. He always felt like the little brother whom was trying to emulate and copy his bigger brothers. Which in itself is fine as everyone has to start somewhere. But him going seems to have been something that has allowed Ethan, Edwin and even Steven to shift focus into the more engineering side of their crazy contraptions. Padrick coming on is looking to be an interesting development as he is already an already skilled fabricator and I already look forward to seeing what he brings beyond what he has already done.

[@AccAkut1987]

I wouldn't be surprised if this "first episode after introduction" tries to do exactly that, display that Ethan and Patrick are basically equals when it comes to skill, to justify him. I still wonder what Will did they don't ever even use his name on the show anymore, like in the last episode when they played around with his shopping cart. Can only imagine it wasn't an amicable split.

[@dakotareid1566]

@@AccAkut1987 it was mutual, Will didn’t like the country life and went to live in the city and the drive is too far for him to show up every video.

[@AccAkut1987]

@@dakotareid1566 that's the official version. But I (and many others) just doubt that it was that simple and friendly. Could have done a true farewell and send-off, in person in a video if it was like that, and not a 10 second clip Edwin recorded at his desk while editing. And the very clear "must not use his name, even if referencing old projects of him" just speaks against a mutual, friendly decision. We only know the curated video personality of each of the guys, so we will never know. But at least Will did display a rather impulsive decision making, so maybe he turned up at the shop one last day to collect "his" projects and the Shang-Li or something, and had a falling out with the others.

Congrats to Padrick? He fits into this channel like butter. I was noticing something on this video in particular. While I'm drawn to see the magical fabricating mind of Ethan, I have to give major props to the clever editing, sound track, and scenery shots! This video really flowed. Keep up the great work Grind Hard!

I've always liked Humvees and LM 002 - but the LS swap and suspension is off the chain FUN , at the end of the video when it's parked on the rock , the only thing that would make it complete would be if that rear wheel was on the ground 12-18 inches of travel , all Humvees hold a tire in the air and besides if Ethan does the rear suspension all the info will be there for me to have one - thank for sharing

[@christiaanventer8183]

May want to either create a french drain or extend the concrete up around the edge and behind the building to funnel the water cuz that looks like a big potential for soil erosion. I know you could just add soil back with your skid steer, but drainage is important for the foundation.

Street legal, race Humvee?! YES PLEASE 🥳

[@lorilombard8578]

I did a stainless exhaust on my LQ9 swapped humvee so this brings back some memories. I had a Y-pipe about the same spot as the original instead of the dual but much of the same. I didn't have the flex joint and have had no issues with breakage. The tight space between to bell housing and tranny pan is so tight I had to bend and reweld too to get it above the plane of the frame rails. I have a full plated underside so it has to be up for the belly pan. Because of the length and body width of these anyone wheeling these hard will drag rockers, sides, fuel tank (split it open and lost all my fuel) and belly a lot. If they go the way of a plate belly pan then that will lead them to the next issue of creating too much heat between the frame rails with the exhaust and no way to get rid of the heat. Without extensive insulation of the exhaust and gas tank, on warmer days they will boil the gas which usually overwhelms the vent systems. This will swell up the gas tank and push it into the drive line. I saw they have the later variant with the metal plate on the tank so it won't wear a hole in the tank without making a lot of horrible noises. Mine didn't have it which failed my second tank. The way these guys wheel I would like to see them put in a full roll cage (mine is 2" 10 point) and five point harnesses. I have had my humvee for 8 years and wheel it hard. Humvees are crazy fun when you get more power in them and soften up the suspension. This build is the best example I've seen of what can be done with one.

[@ratiquette]

I'm excited to see you guys take this thing through my home province. There's so much variety of terrain in BC, I hope some locals in different areas can connect with you guys and share the best offroading spots with you. I would strongly suggest taking a different routes heading north and south, and load up your jerry cans if you go on BC-37
