Rebuilding the Stolen Gold SEMA Truck - Pt.2

The story of the gold Ram continues as it gets a full front end make-over, and the final concept for the build is revealed. Along the way we start fixing the suspension, while hearing some unfortunate news about its roots.

[@colshyp2172]

Waking up at 5.30 with the hangover from hell to an update on the Sema truck makes it not feel so bad 😂

[@warwickandrews]

Glad I can make your Sunday morning a little better lol

[@DIARRHEA-PANIC]

Makes sense that this channel's subs would be alcoholics.

[@richardschafer1911]

Who said anything bout being a alcoholic mentioned one night it's like me calling you a junkie because you made a comment ​@@DIARRHEA-PANIC

[@ohSpectro]

lol basically what I did today 🎉😂

[@coreybruner8109]

I haven’t drank in 5 years! My favorite thing about not drinking is not having a hangover 😂 I think I might go the rest of my life without a hangover. That is one of the worst experiences that I’ve been through 1000s of times.

[@Panhandlexclusive]

Being a peg leg fan he prolly would hate the truck but he would respect u for building it urself 😂

[@warwickandrews]

His latest episode where they’re making fun of the mall crawler in Florida lmao. At the very least he would like Chain Smoker so there’s that

[@makpsv]

That poor dog is like: "This guy is crazy, he has been talking to himself the whole time. I must keep an eye on him 'cause he might try to steal or something." 🤣

Sunk cost fallacy- Learned today and do this everyday. Thanks for the lesson!

[@warwickandrews]

Ah man me too lol. People do it with relationships all the time where they say “I wasted my best years (their 20s or whatever) with this person so I may as well keep going”, when it’s often best to cut your loses, it’s just hard to do

Previous owner really said "paint it yellow and blue like a 2 post lift"

[@edwardcokley9224]

Just realized that my truck is exactly what he was talking about 🤦‍♂️ my 1985 k10 is the color yellow of the arms and stripped the blue of the post. It's not all that hideous. Kinda grows on ya

[@arturogalindo6134]

Build a clocking ring for the transfer case. A 1/4 plate steel ring weld studs on the transfer case side and use counter sunck bolts to attach it to the trans. It’ll turn the transfer case down and help with front drive shaft angles

[@Big-lron]

YOU NEED A LOWER TCASE stop messing with pinion angle. U joints cannot just run at whatever angle you want.

[@kitchenbriks3685]

Glad your a truck expert 😂

[@Big-lron]

@@kitchenbriks3685 Glad know so much about u joints. Your supposed to run u joints at equal opposite angles for them to work reliably. This is an extremely simple principle to understand but I'm glad u obviously know so much more than every mechanical engineer and mechanic out there.

[@Dallinz]

@@Big-lronholy crap. Before you call someone dumb you really should learn and understand basic grammar. 😂 Hell, I’ll be so nice to even fix your comment “@kitchenbriks3685 Glad to know you understand so much about U-joints.

[@holmesy28]

Clearly Rusty is the one who did all the work! Build is looking awesome!

[@calumjones5198]

You can pull the axle tubes and roll the center section up line the king pins up and put the tubes back in and you will have proper pinion angle with working suspension

[@warwickandrews]

That’s essentially our plan

[@calumjones5198]

@@warwickandrews sorry I commented before you explained your fix

[@MrJcoupe96]

I'm not at all into modding trucks, much less a mall crawler/pavement stomper type of truck. I'm a car enthusiast (mostly Japanese) and I'm mostly into circuit racing. With that said, I was raised my whole life in Miami, FL and I enjoyed seeing the mini truck builds and got into a small bit of Lowrider culture and was always fascinated with the the art that went into all those builds. I came across the first video of this truck on KZbin and I gotta say, I like where you're taking this build I think this should be pretty sweet and unique if you can pull it all off. You've got a new sub in me and I'm now invested in your build, lol. I wish you the best of luck, bud. Can't wait for the next update!

[@warwickandrews]

Thanks buds, you’re absolutely right the art is amazing in the lowrider scene. Appreciate the kind words!

[@jarrettparsons5854]

Be very interesting to see the finished product! Can’t wait!!

[@jeremygourde9880]

That suspension link Set up from the get go is a mess and in my opinion should be cut out and thrown in to the scrap pile. Build a drop cradle for a SCS or ProFab style gear Dropbox and put a triangulated 4-link using 1.25” heims and 2”DOM.

[@88SherryLynn]

Wow, you've got a lot of jealous haters in a short period. Glad you're saving that truck, and coming up with your own twist on it.

[@warwickandrews]

Hahah I know, aren’t they entertaining? I have my comments unmoderated so you’ll see it all. In the eyes of the KZbin algorithm a comment is a comment, good or bad, so bring on the hate my ego can handle it lol. Appreciate the kind words from the other half though such as yourself, so thanks!

[@theglitch99]

Dude has skillz and drive! Impressive!

Never seen your channel before your gold truck story. Fun vid! Doing what many of us would love to do. Take a terribad sema brodozer and make it into something better.... or worse.

[@MrRee-kn4xd]

This build is 100% ridiculous and I love it.

[@CaddyJim]

There wasn't something in your random storage place to make a ramp to wheel the 30's into the bed of your Truck (The ladder may have even worked) but you got it done with help from a neighbor👍

[@10HPSht]

Gotta love Calgary...

[@31rd0nit]

I cant wait to see this finished. I loved the mini trucks.

[@DanielBlake-vk7qx]

I did custom patterned paint jobs like that drawing you got its alot of work but it worth it . I owned a body shop for years and did custom paint jobs on lowriders

[@nicki8731]

Love the three wheel and bed dancing idea :D

[@thejakefromstatefarm6768]

You seem to be doing shit pretty proper. Not that i know my ass from two handfuls of sand (weird quote my father used alot) but you seem to be solving all the problems the proper way.

[@userthreesixfive1203]

Truck should be called Mini Crawler Rock crawler build/ mini truck build and sounds perfect to me

[@kirkjones9827]

My friend and I in 1986 we put a tilt bed in his driveway. Got done about midnight. Lol😂🎉we just left the bumper bolted to the bed and used 1 bolt to each side to tilt. 😂

[@george8686]

This is awesome! Stoked on the vision. Great video.

[@TheNewps]

Don't listen to the haters, just do your thing. I am however not in favor of the mini truck lowrider theme. However no one asked for my opinion, so I should STFU. I appreciate your commitment to this rolling SEMA turd. I used to work and sell advertising for Tuckin, Sport Truck and Mini Truckin. Even as an off-road guy, I appreciate the fabrication and creativity of these builds. Keep going and remember it's just money...:).

[@TrashPandaPirate]

I love this concept for the build i think minitrucks are woefully underrepresented and underappreciated in the modern car scene, mostly because no one sells small trucks in the us anymore i think this is going to be a super cool homage to the minitruck scene of the early 2000s while making something unique that stands out from both the minitrucking scene and the modern lifted truck scene

[@warwickandrews]

Hell yeah dude glad you see the vision the way I do!

[@adamlahd1916]

I wonder if the original builders thought hey this truck is always on a lift so why don’t we match the paint to the blue and yellow lift so it’s not as noticeable lol.

couldnt you jsut use a dropbox/transfercase combo like mud trucks use to fix the angles?

[@rrw2gonefishing]

As far as the no front drive shaft goes, you thing the ones spending all the money to build these "trucks" some one would have made a slip yoke drive shaft with out the splines in the slip joint. But that wouldn't give us the enjoyment of laughing at them. Just a thought.
