Can We Get This Shed to the Top of Crossman Peak Without Falling Over the Edge?

@MerlinsOldSchoolGarage and Makay are off on an adventure for KNLB Advance Ministries, Inc. to get this shed to the top of the mountain. Josh called upon Merlin to complete the job because the road up to the top of the mountain is steep, winding, narrow, and scary... there was NO WAY to pull a trailer up to the top. Take the adventure for yourself to see how crazy all these guys are! Elevation 5103 ft
Thanks for watching!

Everyone needs friends like Makay and Brad that will climb in no matter what craziness you are up to. Another good episode.

Just a good old fashioned work truck doing the hard job that today's fancy new trucks can't!

[@TheCosmicRealm3]

That's why I own a 79 highboy

[@neilfromclearwaterfl81]

Sad that today's Dandified Trucks costing too close to $100,000 have to be so highly modified to do the same job as something we bought for less than $3,500 back in the day before 1970. Try to tell a kid today that back in the 1960's you could call Dodge Fargo and order the E20 Custom Special Package to then specify your own options such as having the factory take the driveline from a W600 truck and narrow the track to fit in a W200 plus switch the engine to a 440 instead of the 383, put the military PTO winch on it, add Detroit Lockers or Limited Slip front and rear, etc, etc, etc. Kids called mine The Beast and would ask what shop customized it and had a hard time believing it was all OEM Factory. Downside was that you had to remember to order W600 parts when working on the driveline. Today they'd probably charge us $200,000 or more for those $3,500 trucks. Best!

Many people are not aware of the work required for everyone to have radio, or cell service, across the country. Great video guys. God bless you guys😊😊😊😊😊

[@ModelA]

So you're "broadcast engineering" now too!! That's what I do for a living. Good work, brother.

[@michaellauer3397]

Hey we one of those here…

[@hellabiz4289]

NorCal ... my dad was chief engineer for several radio stations ... spent much time riding out to remote locations on weekends to check on/install/repair equipment and/or take meter readings. Always an adventure squeezing between barb wires to cross a field of cattle, dodging rattlesnakes on the backside of Mt Diablo, hiking in the last mile of a couple of peaks up in Napa/Sonoma because a road had washed away, and various similarly accessibility-challenged locations in the Mother Lode. Sketchy dirt/gravel roads, amazing views, lots of 'are we there yet' and family picnic time. Tubes. Teletypes. Great times; loved it all!

[@marvincarter870]

Great job delivering the shed to the top of Crossman Peak. The Porsche build is coming along good Merlin. Nice to see McKay taking the ride with you! Pretty scenery!

[@LawlessOffroadAdventures]

Your good people's Merlin ✌️ thanks for the share, heck of a veiw

[@kenabrahams689]

Mighty fine engineering going on with that Porsche. Don’t know how you measure where brackets need welding in? Totally amazing.

[@scottbobcat8450]

I'm a long-term viewer and I'm quite surprised of the fabrication table you chose to weld up those brackets😮

[@davidbreaux5989]

Right, surprised me. But hey, what ever is available and gets the job done.👍🏻

Base drum peddles make cool gas peddles. I actually have one on a 25 t bucket that has Loud Peddle molded in as the face of the peddle. Found it at an antique shop for $10

[@cayminlast]

You guys are an inspiration. As a guy who grew up in the 1950-60s it amazes me how much sketchy sh#t we got up to, and got away with it. A lot of us were raised by WW2 vets, no explanation necessary.LOL!

The car is looking amazing! Thanks for taking us up the mountain what a great ride, that old truck is pretty awesome and sound good with that Cummins. Nice to see you twice this week!!

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Awesome video Merlin!!! Oh and that was definitely awesome to see you haul a shed clear up that mountain and that would definitely not be something that you would find me doing for sure!!! Not because I wouldn’t want to help them out but just thinking about that red dump truck that was scattered all over the mountain on the way up and on the way down!!! I’m not so sure I could handle that!!! Lol!!! Awesome video once again buddy!!!!

[@kimetherington2252]

Merlin, performing his magic as always. Catch you on the next. ✌️ 😊

[@mikeburgess7331]

Merlin, you seem to get so much accomplished in a very short time!

At least it a well maintained road. All the transmitter sites I’ve gone to are all ridiculously steep roads. Some don’t qualify as a “road”… Love ur show! John

[@randymiller7521]

This is going to be a really special project. You even fitted a part from one of my favorite sports cars on it. I’ve always wanted a Ferrari. A little community service is always wonderful for the sole. Great job 👍

[@billdayton6240]

Merlin, now you and McKay know what we "Ham" radio operators go thru to get our repeaters up and running on mountain tops! It's a labor of love. Well, not my repeater at the top of the Palm Springs tram, we go up there, and it's a smooth ride.. LOL We may be bringing McKay some mesquite for his BBQ / Smoker this weekend. Thats a NICE ride, compared to Toro peak, Snow peak, Black Mountain, Chuckwalla mountain, Guadalupe etc.etc. LOL. Love it.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Awesome video! One more step getting done. Thank you for sharing!😊

That was a cool ride up that mountain. Glad you offered to take MacKay. Nice way to spend the day and do a good deed. Mucho good karma coming your way.

[@TheOldaz1]

That "road" up the mountain was a whole lot steeper than how it looked in the video. Old truck did good for a good cause. Porche coming along nicely.

[@UncleManuel]

Yepp, radio tower technicians are a regular customer of Matt in Utah - because they always have to use sketchy dirt roads to get to the towers on the hilltops. Just add rain or snow for the unavoidable recovery call. 😜🤟

[@thesalopgardener]

Two ways down the mountain. The right way, and the fast way. Looks like the dump truck found the fast way.

Worked for one company that had several mountain top communication radios. 2.) Assisted an amateur radio group with mountain top repeater repair, (what I think made me worth knowing to this group, was my long-bed 4x4 pickup truck). 😆. Mountain top views are stunning in locations with long range views. Appreciate you sharing and videoing your drive up and down the hill.

[@number1trucker]

Hi Merlin, awesome video going up the mountain.

[@gragor11]

I owned one of that model but it was a window van. Drove it from Vancouver Island to the central Yukon on the Cassiar Highway and back to Dawson Creek on the Alaska Highway (both unpaved) until the motor threw a piston. I was a farrier and took shoes and tools with me and hung a burlap sack on the front between the mirrors and the bumper that said Old Horseshoeing Blacksmithing Coal on it. When the van died and when I took the burlap sack off the front of it there was an impression of the black tail deer I had hit with in in the front behind the sack between those dinky little turn indicators. 1200 cc motor. You could get the motor out faster than you could get the bumper loose. I traded it for a 65 Chevy panel truck and drove that to Eastern Ontario where I got turned around at the US border so I turned around and drove back to Vancouver Island. It was a good van in the snow and they are always fun to drive because of where you sit in them. A head of the wheels.

[@geroldknoebel3836]

Very nice old Porsche. If you think about it, the A550 was 1.5 liters, 135 hp and 240km/ fast. Great car from old Ferdinand. That's right, many VW and Porsche parts are 100% identical. Before Ferdinand founded Porsche, he was at VW, and Ferdinand had already developed some models for VW during the war. Merlin laughs, I think Enzo and Ferdinand are sitting upstairs laughing at the misery of today's cars. Great Video Merlin. Greetings from Frankfurt Gerold

Funny stories on the VW belt........years ago I had a 68 bug with an 1835 barely 18yrs old. My girlfriend and I were driving home from camping with friends up in the Sierra Nevada's and lost my belt, nothing but woods and a road. We somehow ran into a bar in the middle of nowhere just as the battery was almost dead. A kind gentleman there had his wife give up her panty hose, fixed me up and we made it home LOL
