Surprising my Son with a GO KART Semi Truck!

[@Drpepper232]

Badass! Here’s a list of what it needs! 1. Chicken Lights 2. Train horns 3. A hitch and a trailer 4. Fenders

[@travisunruly6505]

And the shifter to go on the right

[@TheATSEnthusiast]

Train horns I personally don't think that's a great idea it might scare him. But you do you I guess. Everything else is fine.

Be honest Bruce you bought yourself a mini semi not Gunner. Us dad's buy toys all the time saying that they're for our kids.

SWFL Golf carts could help you out with what you need for lithium conversion. I think electric definitely the way to go.

[@vettebecker1]

I love it!!! Keep it gas and drop engine where tank is so you can do trailer, you could put two propane fuel tanks on sides with caps to cover regulator and handles for air tanks. Take the existing air tanks and hide them or go a little smaller

[@newdemolitionranch3870]

Replace that floating axle with a golf cart rear end Then you will have the option of Gas power or electric. Basically whichever we're and you are not using to drive will be a neutral.

[@wootripy]

Nice Bruce, Make it eclectic. Cause we know your going to paint it blue lots of lights stacks with smoke for show, deck plates. Because if its not seating for kids at shows, let it carrier the cooler tents canape just a few ideas .

[@jeremycardwell2851]

Possibly do a mini blue collar set up with a golf cart type setup and have it remote controlled also if that’s possible

[@leebryant5443]

You should get some kind of smoke machine and hook it to the stacks . That would be pretty cool.

[@Williamtucker-im8tr]

Get a trailer made for it

[@linus2430]

What would make that truck look good is a buddy seat for gunner at the driver’s window to where it looks like he’s driving.

[@feelingold2995]

Sweet little rig.. Paint it to match the fleet for sure.. Convert it to electric and get a small fogger unit to feed the stacks.. Add a sweet stereo for sound effects and light that puppy up..👍👍

[@alxgu198]

I was nodding until you said “convert it to electric” 🤨🤮

[@feelingold2995]

@@alxgu198 ide love to see it a diesel but he said it's going to be used for alot of indoor events..

[@joshcole9324]

@@alxgu198 its a toy, perfect for the conversion. those m18 power wheels are mean

[@ibanezleftyclub]

A small diesel in this thing is a must, then pipe it though the stacks. Amazon sells some little 4 stroke 3-4hp ones.

[@IR-nq4qv]

awesome rig, you may as well go all out Bruce, a total do over with paint job including trailer and all. Get a sign painter to do logos and put gunner's name on it.

[@Alwaysoverlandnz]

Build a trailer for it and put the lithium batteries in the trailer. You could then have 2 trailers, one always on charge to hook up and plug in when the others flat 🤙🏻and solar panels flat along the trailer roof so it free charges when your cruising around in it

[@ScottLytle87]

I'd say paint it blue. Do the electric with remote with the chair like you said by the window

[@Fantaman900]

Electric gokart with a engine sound module. They make plenty off stuff for rc trucks and I think you can put the little speaker wires into an amp with speaker input for much better sound with a proper car stereo speakers. With the benefit of volume control.

[@LookUpTheKalergiPlanWhitePeeps]

Best dad in the world. When I was go kart age I wanted something like this so badly. I actually want a mini mobile home toter and a mini double wide I could set up as my club house. Not kidding, I saw it when I was that age and thought the idea of moving a structure in two pieces was awesome. I have high functioning autism if that helps to explain my type of thinking.

[@richardmosher6602]

Gunner is so sweet and a cool dude just like his dad maybe he well falllor in your feet steps

[@dukebacher1216]

You could always "super single" the rear axles with ATV tires, and put it in the sled competitions along with the rest of the lawn tractors you have.... It would still be able to tow a trailer and anything else you wanted to do with it.

[@justinhobart8747]

Well, my favorite color is Red... I definitely like your seating and idea and air horns, just not too loud... these are kids, remember. You definitely need a trailer, something just the right length to scale, I'd use something like 25" - 30" high corrugated metal down both sides Then wide enough like 4.5' to put hay bales down both sides and leave a walk space in the middle so you can take passengers on a load of a hay rack ride. I think I would convert it to electric it wouldn't be too hard... Just make sure you're getting a big enough battery... Some of those parade routes can be a pretty long.

[@seanslawns]

My 3 year old son and I enjoyed this episode, guess I’m gonna be getting an 18 wheeler for him lol

[@carriebrumley8926]

That thing is so cute Paint it Blue just like Daddys!! Electric motor!! My opinion!

[@davidmaust1415]

Paint it to match blue collar and put a custom Shtube grill and lighted taillight. Then you'll need a pink one for your daughter in a yr or ao

[@FrankTibai]

You should leave it red and put a diesel engine on and also hook up the tailpipes to the engine

[@keegancrabtree7156]

I would definitely put a diesel in it.

[@AdventuresWithTheHudsons]

We can’t wait to see what you do to the gotruck

[@Jason_Brooks1]

looks sick asf. Gonna need interior to get this kid a hell of a experience he will NEVER forget.

[@cruisersrus]

It needs to look like a mini Blue Collar. Instead of changing the rearend you can do an electric hydraulic pump. It may not be as fast as you want but a easy swap

[@jorgenegrete7494]

Looks awesome paint it blue like the Freightliner

[@morganbader1240]

If and when you do put the electric motor in there you should make a flat bed trailer so he can haul stuff around on it and put a actual CB radio in it.

[@smoke_show_dohse2444]

That’s so badass should build a mini step deck to haul his upcoming sled puller🤘🏽

[@huggy1712]

Hi Bruce worked on a lot of golf carts electric and gas it’s your choice but I would keep it simple if you plan on Gunner driving it yes I to have a lot of rc trucks and boats making with remote control that parts not hard I would leave it propane just get rid of the 20 lb bottle and hide the small camping bottles in one of the side saddle tanks it would look cleaner nicer and painting colour I would make it like mini blue collar that would make it awesome and one of a kind take care stay safe G.Whyte P.s fart power will not work

[@williamfrench65]

Put a child's seat in front of the steering wheel for gunner to set in would be great

[@robertordewald8678]

Add a chain between the front and rear rear wheels so that all all 8 wheels in the back have power that would be one thing that would be cool I like the battery idea simply because then you wouldn't have to worry about the kids messing with gas or propane as they get older and the idea of making it dual control or even three control one for the kids up on under the cab one for you and then one you could set up for RC, that would be really cool. The other thing would be to make it look like an older truck well-worn and road weary. To make it look more real find a set of mismatching recap snow tires for rear axles. The 13 in tires would make it look like an old logging truck or scrap hauler. No matter what you do that will be with your children for a long time!

[@ProudPapaw88]

That is so cool, Bruce. That is one happy little boy. Great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@davida.p.9911]

Definitely needs a GO pedal. I might put a Kubota engine on it, for authentic sound. But you're right about the noise if you take it indoors. Very cool!! 😎

[@cs-gj3yf]

def needs a turned up kubota just for the smoke, can turn the rpm way down as well with them

[@dale-o8c]

Hey Bruce Awesome mini semi Go-Kart Your son Gunner will enjoy it for a very long time!

[@OgProfessorRoscoe]

The pulling tractor in the garage is awesome

[@toddm.7746]

Haul the mini excavator with it! But yeah, electric, add lights and build an extension on the cab like a Kenworth Aerodyne, so you can actually sit in the cab. Build a trailer for it too, got to have a trailer. Do something with the interior of the cab. That insulation matt looks bad. Why is the ignition at the engine and not wited by the steeting wheel? There are so many details that are not on it now, it's a great platform to start from now though.

[@russwalls3591]

Cut the top of the cab out enough to move the seat foward and controls foward, put a small diesel or electric engine in right where the propane tank is and then do a camper style 5th wheel and build a trailer. Kinda like the little Pete you see runnin around truck shows

[@matthewlane2421]

That’s so cool he’s going to have fun in that when he gets older to drive it

[@Jon4784]

I'd say run with the battery power from like a golf cart that'd be pretty sweet

[@drinternatg6391]

Make a day cab to look cool. Shorten the mud flaps too. I would paint it the same colour as your big trucks. 😊

[@DieselSmokenFool]

That would be cool to see the red 3hp mini diesel in it

[@thomasmiller4550]

You should engine swap it for diesel and connect the exhaust to the stacks to make them live stacks it would be cool to see that happen

[@taylor-zy7jk]

agreed but do they make small disal go kart engines

[@Synic08]

Yes.

[@williampurkey8949]

If you go electric you could put speakers in the stacks and have them make sounds. Maybe even add a smoke system.

[@kevinmccarthy1330]

converting it to electric would be the move. lights, radio, and horns are a must

[@ericgriffin397]

That is the coolest toy I've seen in a while!!

[@richardjeun]

Cut an inch or two off the top of that mud flap and drill new holes. Mud flap will have more clearance off the ground and you’ll be able to salvage the original.

[@christophertaylor2464]

A lot of cool ideas for the min cabover . I really like the ideal of putting another stearing wheel and seat up front so it looks like your son is driving.

[@clngfanflyr]

soon as you said let's back it in I knew you were going to rip a flap off! 🤣🤣😂

[@rackhunter10]

Bruce you should make it a pulling truck for gunner. It's pretty much a lawnmower and that could be his pulling tractor. I think that would be a first tbh

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

That mini cabover kart is so nice Bruce I love it hopefully this needs a set of lights etc

[@glen511]

Mini shifter from SH Tube, polished bumper, half fenders

[@jacobcole6340]

Do the golf cart power conversion but , what about a flat bed so you can carry some small tractors as advertising you business at truck shows, also at the fairs when you go to tractor pulls

[@macg9940]

Great find! Convert it to electric, add lots of lights, make the horns work, and a hitch would be nice. Maybe a trailer for more seats. 😎

[@dominicarneson3191]

That’s super cool, should def convert it into electric, wood grain cat walk, paint her blue just like blue collar. Make it fully functional for you, but also make it like how you mention when you could slap a smaller seat and steering wheel where it looks like gunner is driving it. Add some lights into it to make it look legit. I also saw someone mention maybe even add a smoke machine somehow and have smoke come out of the stacks would be sweet. Such a sweet toy. Started with Blue collar. Should make it look like it for gunner. Also And when you do electric, you could make a sweet little trailer/ cooler to hook up to it, have the trailer nice and stuff, but make it a cooler somehow for your beverages at truck shows 😎👌🏻

[@jordangreen6937]

Bruce you should paint match with blue collar the cab over

[@MemeMe.]

Diesel and making the smoke stacks functional would be awesome but electric would be ideal too for convenience, either way it would be sick!

[@robertsmarr-ez3kg]

One day that would be really cool if you do converted to Electric for air compressor for air horns could you make the smokestack look like it actually has smoke coming out of it

[@walterritter3409]

Yeah, I have a fantastic idea for you... Try putting one of those "Beeping Backup" bells on it, that way whenever you put it in Reverse, that "Beeping Backup " Bell starts doing it's thing. And, don't forget to put a bright white light on the back of it so whenever you put it in reverse, that bright white light turns on... Brake lights, clearance lights, side marker lights, etc... That's a sick looking Go-kart that's a fact... Nice... Now here comes my question... Where can I get one?...

[@Khaiden_D]

put a mini diesel in it

[@brabman7]

A little Yanmar, and make the stacks active!!

[@markpeck5117]

I think a little turbo diesel would be cool and hook it up to the stacks also 😀👍

[@tonypatrick9362]

Great new truck to the fleet Bruce

[@RitaElaineHeltonBarker-uz4sz]

I thought it would have a realistic interior it's just a fairing I suppose maybe you could further build it out

[@kevinbelcher8490]

Honestly I would keep it the same for you but make another one so he can pull a trailer full of friends across the neighborhood or something like that

[@jorgenselg2859]

Nice truck Bruce😊

[@robertrabhudsonhornet5869]

I would move the motor forewords and put a hitch on it and build a trailer for it then put a seat in front the steering wheel Gunther and put two seats next to each other. And lots of led lights and a truck horn and maybe smoke machine to have smoke coming out the stacks

[@Rose-yx6jq]

I want to drive that myself.

[@tthornton6809]

Diesel swap would be sick, but light and trailer would be sick
