Road Trip! and new Falken AT4w Tire Reveal

Time to take all these latest mods and put them to the test! I jump in Mom's Spaghetti and hit the road to Moab Utah for Easter Jeep Safari 2024. It was a wild ride. Then we jump in with Falken Tire and get a chance to test out their newest all terrain tire, the Wildpeak AT4w. See how it works out.
Also, If you are in Moab for EJS make sure to come to the Bestop Kickoff party Monday march 25. We will be in the parking lot behind the food trucks downtown from 4:30 till 7:30 or so.

Dave is the man for sure. He has an eye for cool things and a vision for builds that is second to none.

[@DocHolliday3841]

I wish Fred Williams made quality videos like this, he's very interesting & entertaining but doesn't have the filming skills Dave here has. Such a shame DED ended as they took care of filming Fred & Dave.

[@carado1984]

I agree. Fred has great content. Dave makes great episodes.

[@dailydouble2286]

Fred is getting better with his videography. I love seeing Dave doing work with other creators. I wish Fred would do more

[@twrxzuks]

I wish Fred took us on more adventures like he did in DED. The basic tech he films isn’t what we want to see. Hope Dave and Fred can collaborate again someday.

[@DocHolliday3841]

I hate that DED ended, it was the 1st of many shows I started watching when they were on KZbin & then moved to MTOD. ROADKILL, ROADKILL GARAGE, HOTROD GARAGE, ENGINE MASTERS & several others I enjoy but DIRT EVERY DAY is where it all started for me.

[@br549200]

Hey from Missouri!

[@gatoreye2000]

DAVE..........YOU ARE KILLING IT!!!!!! Now that is really '"RAD!"

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks! I’m hustling

[@Aldeeezzy]

Those seats are rad 🤘

[@thedirtheadshed]

I totally agree

[@cjg253]

Reasons why I love watching Dirthead Dave: 1- drives rad Ford pickup to Jeep safari, trailers are for boats 2- finds other rad Fords wheeling 3- soap on a belt who knew?! Heck yeah great video 🤘🏼 stay reckless

[@amorton94]

My 88 S10 Blazer had, and still has, a horrendous belt squeak. I kept a bar of soap in the glove box to apply as needed. 😂

[@lawrencek9748]

The pan back to the passengers after the driver said he's never done this before 😂😂

[@thedirtheadshed]

He was so stoked

[@coobyraccoon]

Awesome episode. Who doesn't love a modified fourby on a road trip.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Got to do it sometimes!

[@seanknelsen2047]

This has to be my favorite build you have. My last wheeling truck was a 92 Flareside on 35s

[@thedirtheadshed]

Those are cool rigs

[@haroldwilkerson2026]

Everybody take a drink when he says Rad I'm already drunk and I'm only like 3 minutes in😂😂

[@Kyle-ev4fk]

I was drunk before I got here.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Hahaha! I dropped the R word a lot

[@lunchboxproductions1183]

I figured you'd be a Dapper Dan man!

[@thedirtheadshed]

Murray’s or suavecito

[@HallsRodShop]

I love seeing the support of local businesses! Man you are rad!

[@thedirtheadshed]

Its great when you find a place like that

[@leonardlyman9586]

Clark Canyon Reservoir is close to my favorite elk hunting spot. It's also a really nice brown trout fishing spot.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Nice . It’s a wonderful looking place

[@mudsta9828]

"I didn't think we could go up that" coming from the guy driving lol

[@thedirtheadshed]

Haha. He was stoked.

[@lauackerman4801]

Great projects and fabrication knowledge. Thanks and keep it up!

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks! Plenty of stuff to work on at any time

[@mikecollins8241]

Great trick for those who missed it; When Dave stopped on the Highway, he backed up to/ behind the guardrail... this makes for a much safer place to stop/ check vehicle, although getting off (ie exit) is always the best bet, if possible ;)

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks for pointing that out. I dont recall if that explanation made it into the video.

[@lanetpickett]

dave! you are my hero. Fred too, but you guys together are awesome.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Those were the good ol days

[@Str8sixfan]

I figured I was just too late to get the explanation on Mom's Spaghetti. But I like the explanation

[@thedirtheadshed]

Hope it kinda makes sense now

[@Kyle-ev4fk]

Dave is the GOAT, thanks for another RAD video!

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks so much

[@daltoncahn55]

That was cool to see Mickey from throtl in this video. Didnt expect that.

[@thedirtheadshed]

He’s a solid dude

[@rediron44]

Cool video. Fun little trip. It's my wish, one of these days. I'll see Moab. Hopefully. One of these days. That and the Rubicon trail. My dream, to ride them.

[@gentilejoshsaved1646]

Its cool to see you in Montana, I live about the same distance from Melrose and Dillon. Lots of good snow snowheeling and snowmobiling lately.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Nice. It’s a cool area

[@levigent2938]

What a killer little ranger

[@thedirtheadshed]

It was great. Just enough work to make it a capable wheeler without overdoing it

[@coltonbryan3726]

Thanks for the new video, The guy driving that jeep you guys were in was having a blast you could tell! Stay safe 👍

[@thedirtheadshed]

He was loving it!

[@colew.5956]

This is LIVING! Building a MEGA AWESOME BIG WHEELER 🍝 and driving it vs a Cop out LAME trailer with a tow rig that looks like Everyone else 🥱 I just Wish 🍝 would’ve been on the End Event vs A bunch of Jeeps…………. The CONTENT OF BIG WHEELER IRON never Disappoints 💪💪💪

[@thedirtheadshed]

I appreciate it Cole. It’s holding it down for the Big Wheelers this week

[@trplxj]

Tom Woods is just down the road from my house. I've been using them from the very beginning. I knew Tom and Troy before Tom started his own driveshaft shop.

[@thedirtheadshed]

That’s awesome. It’s a great company

[@rustyirongarage4465]

Your road trip videos are my favorite

[@thedirtheadshed]

I like them too. It’s fun to get out of the shop and use this stuff

[@s7courier]

You are moments away from 100K videos and well on your way to 1M. Just love your videos and cannot wait until the next one. Keep up the great work and many Thanks.

Looks like you all were having some fun. Nice to see it on your KZbin video.

[@mh-qq2hj]

Thanks for taking us along with you Dave!

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks for going

[@bobbolieu9013]

Seeing the wheels in the day light with the new paint job I will say that they look really good.

[@BWalker-yg9en]

I love those seats.

[@thedirtheadshed]

They definitely spruce the place up!

[@winchoutdoors]

Great video! Loved the shot of the Montana lake after the Oriellys visit.

[@thedirtheadshed]

That one always makes me go Oooooohhhhh.

[@squeakin3]

Your a badass for driving to and from the trail in a rock crawler

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks! Now it’s just got to make it home

[@googleuser2170]

It is a great-looking truck, a cool crossover between a desert look and a monster off-roader. The tires look great on it; Falken has been killing it lately. As a side note, that rollbar also looks super clean.

[@MontanaDirtRoads]

Gotta love them old fords

[@johneken2056]

Dave, Fred and "Pinkfoot"...perfect together.

[@joshjohnson9423]

I love that truck and your changes over the past few episodes.

[@thedirtheadshed]

It’s breathing some new life into it

[@matthewschneider2089]

Dude!! Great video!!! I always thought Mom's spaghetti mint throwing everything at it!!?? My mom's spaghetti!!! Was like that!!! At least you're having great weather!!!✌️

[@davidburns2649]

How cool. I live near Melrose. I'm in the town of Ramsey. Its where I90 and I15 converge. Safe travels to Moab. I've been enjoying your videos throughout the years.

[@petecrabtree6734]

🦅🇺🇸💪🤠👍 Dave you're killing it and have enough fun for all of us that can't be there too

[@thedirtheadshed]

Sorry ya couldn’t make it

[@adrianw3985]

It was cool bumping into you in Moab tonight. Moab is always a good time. We will see you around be safe.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Heck yeah. Nice meeting you too

[@KyleC2OO7]

Great vid, gotta try the soap trick with my 86 F150’s belt.

[@slooooendurooo7989]

Love seeing your videos, would love to see a collab episode with you and @stay tuned with tony angelo

[@metalmuscle5083]

Cruisin with Throtl?! Dope!

[@stevesporer5434]

Killin' it with the videos, thanks. Still on my first set of at3's but am super inerested in the m/t version as they are the same tread pattern as some old TXR les shwab tires I used to run up to 70 thousand miles a set. Please give a review on those as well. Thanks,from your neighbor in NE Washington

[@jessedavis4699]

Thanks for the video. One day I hope to make it out there to wheel.

[@thedirtheadshed]

It’s worth the trip!

[@1320Jason]

I was there in my CJ-5 years ago. 258 I-6. You had to know how to drive back then.

[@josephvanvickle5048]

seeing your gold flake wheel i had to order one for myself! i love love love moms spaghetti

[@thedirtheadshed]

Right on!!

[@caseymuzio7609]

I think that one reason stockers do better today is the average tire size is just larger most stock wranglers come with approximately 32s with 37 being normal There was a time when 35 on a jeep were big And 40s were only for the most serious offroaders

[@thedirtheadshed]

Yep. Definitely super capable right outta the box

[@thomaspressey7860]

By far my favorite automotive youtube channel. We need second gen 4runner content lol

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks! If I did a 2nd gen 4 runner it would be laid on the ground

[@jasonscharf97tj]

Nice video dave a little bummed you weren't in mom's spaghetti on the trail still awesome to see all the jeeps!

[@thedirtheadshed]

More spaghetti in the next one

[@brucea822]

You’re right Dave Those wheels came out great😎 Mom’s Sp’ghetti is really cool

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thank you

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

Eminem song I knew it. And a perfect reference for the truck. 8 mile is a good movie (my opinion) and they got it right. I lived just outside of Detroit in the 90's/early 2000's and the movie shows the area accurately. As always good stuff Dave. Like button energized. Have a good week.

[@JoeReese-kh1jc]

Oh another dirt head shed episode... Yes Dave....

[@thedirtheadshed]

Bonus!

[@bobbolieu9013]

Fred you brought a huge smile to my face. The soap trick took me back to my childhood, late 60's early 70's, and all the neat tricks that folks used to keep vehicles running.

Dave.

[@bobbolieu9013]

@@DefaultSettings9 Dave, I sincerely apologize.

[@bobbolieu9013]

@@DefaultSettings9 Thank you for pointing out my mistake. I deeply regret my making this error.

[@colubrinedeucecreative]

Awesome video man! Looks like a great time! MS is a fine looking truck, awesome it took the trip so well. Those rubicons really look to be feats of years of engineering and trials and yeah the tire science to match makes it seem like the future for sure! I wonder are you going to be Live broadcasting for any of it? will try to keep an eye out for whatever you are sharing!

[@thedirtheadshed]

Not doing any Lives. But I’ll have a video out on Friday at 2 pacific

[@nothernmaine666]

The truck just all ties together, with the new interior and refreshed wheels. I love Moms Spaghetti. Such a Rad rig. I've owned my fair share of Brick nose F series and OBS F series trucks and those were that last great Ford trucks ever built

[@carado1984]

Old fart.

[@Cornbreadthejeep]

My dad tought me the soap on the belt trick when i was a kid, good to know its not just hillbillies that do that one 😂

[@thedirtheadshed]

Yep. Still works!

[@PNWSubaruAdventures]

I love my Wildpeak AT3's ! wish i could find more of their gear and decals to represent though.

[@favrl06]

The squeaky belt gets the soap 😅

[@thedirtheadshed]

Hahahaha

[@leonardlyman9586]

The taco bus you passed I Dillon MT at about 8 minutes 19 seconds into the video is the best in all of Montana.

[@thedirtheadshed]

I’ll have to try that out

[@MatthewHarrington72]

That was another fun video! If I get a vote, ya mini truck would look awesome in that Kawasaki looking yellow!!!

[@thedirtheadshed]

That’s a top pick

[@aguyinnc2865]

I'd love to go out there, but I'm in eastern NC and I don't have a 4x4. Anyway thanks for the videos, Dave, at least I get to see what's going on!

Fly out.. rent a jeep. It’s a great vacation

Mom”s Spaghetti looks like she did great on the highways, maybe a little better after balancing the drive shaft🤣 Have fun this week, looking forwards to the videos!! 🤙🏻😎

[@thedirtheadshed]

It did pretty darn well for an old truck turned rock crawler

Great video! I love Mom's Spaghetti! Those new sweet looking seats look comfortable! Stay safe!

Thanks! I will try

On all those older EFI Fords I move the air charge temp sensor to the air box. Seems to help cold starts.

I have another fix I’m gonna try

[@dananderson2786]

The things you do for free tires.. some fancy hotels there in moab. The days of sleeping in the dirt are long gone.

[@thedirtheadshed]

That fancy hotel was just one day. I’m currently staying in a garage. Which is still a little better than in the dirt

I have been working with falken almost 13 years now.. got to keep those relationships strong

First off Steering wheel and seats look great. Now you need a rad shifter ball. Maybe I missed it but was the drive shaft way out of Balance.

I don't know who you work for or what you do Dave but you must be freakin good to get all this time to wheel, enjoy it man not to many people get to live and play at something they enjoy.

I often wonder the same thing, but like you said, more power to these guys. It’s freaking awesome.

[@richwood8650]

Ha ha! I was wrong again Dave. I had never heard the explanation of why she's called Mom's Spaghetti. My interpretation was just start with what works ie noodles and sauce, the basics then throw everything you know to make it good. All the right parts and it always turns out better than expected! Then your friends try it and it turns out its even better than you thought. Just like Mom's Spaghetti. Keep Rocking Dave.

[@brandonlea8299]

Digging the Chinese Hot Mustard Method’s and the 38’s fill out the big girl a little better
