Inside The Truck Of A Whistler Mountain Mechanic - 2000 International 4800 Truck Tour

[@aaronlaskowski3018]

Its such a shame that the average office worker can never possibly understand how brilliant the mind of a person that has to solve new and unique real world problems in the middle of nowhere, in the most unbelievable conditions, all by yourself with nothing more than the tools you've brought with you and the experience you've earned over the years.

[@-Hari-03]

its even worse that many of those office workers would look down on a profession such as this (and the people within it) as if they are somehow more simple and just oafish brutes

[@jpeterman9699]

Lol I'm a mechanic but can still respect office workers, they do a job I could never do

[@erikslagter3231]

office workers keep having to find new ways how to do as little as possible without their managers noticing. that's also a skill

[@wearsjorge55]

​@erikslagter3231 becoming efficient is a skill we all share

[@sm0ked_moose]

No corpo to respond to cause the warranty job only pays .3 hour and thats what coporate wnats.

[@da133580]

I hope you all start doing service call videos with him! looks like a hell of a field service tech

[@hillbillykid1]

I wanna see him use all his "modded tools" 😂

[@stuartwest5125]

⁠@@hillbillykid1the best tools are the ones you make. We have four entire cabinets of tools made in our machine shop for very very specific places, might not get used every year but when you need it nothing beats it. We have some specialty tools from the 20’s we still use.

[@wild_goose_0285]

The fact he called the precision, adjustable hammer, a "nut rounder" is now my favorite.

[@fztfabs65]

Finally a guy that doesn’t believe in having a brand new fancy 150k truck and wrecking it the same year. A work truck is a work truck. Only some people see it that way I guess though.

[@djlights456]

Alex is a legend in whistler and a sick mechanic, glad to see they did a truck tour on the meanest rig in whistler

[@TekamoHD]

Alex is the man! Thanks to him for inviting us out to film his rig.

[@556actual]

@djlights456 is actually Alex 😂

[@thinkbaker]

😂

[@marinecorpsniper]

This is by far my favourite truck review. It actually shows use. It’s not clean or organized. All the custom tools.ore power to you, Alex.

[@beachthor1]

Someone tell this dude to save some ladies for the rest of us

[@simonbelak]

Old-school paint job looks good on it. Awesome truck

[@jonmiller2378]

This dude is the coolest. Honest and no BS and gets it done when no one else will. Shiny don’t pay the bills. Keep it up man. The world needs more like you. Also, cool to see the Twisted Shiterz knob and sticker on your welding helmet. All the way from Fulton, Illinois! I live about 45 min from there.

[@oldjunkandrandomstuff]

Great guy and a great truck, 50 minutes went by really fast while watching this!

[@TekamoHD]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@raynjpg]

Damn! I didn't even realize it was a 50 minute video till you said so!

[@o4pureh2o]

Great to see Canada still has some real problem solving, hard working men.

[@zephyrfilms3180]

Local truck to me was stoked to see this pop up

[@10mwtp]

What a weapon! Would love to see him on a few call outs

[@cedricverdin9148]

I'm in automotive so I don't know shit about this trade but man these guys make it look bad ass

[@sneakdza]

Man I suggest gettin into it, too much bullshit in automotive , after 8 years in it best decision I made was gettin into heavy equipment

[@Scofflaw_k10]

As someone who rides the lines between light duty, equipment, and power generation working on trucks and equipment is absolutely a different type of high for a mechanic. If it catches your eye, look into it!

[@DudeGuy-zt9eg]

@@Scofflaw_k10 Power generation is where it's at. Generators always in demand and I'm never short of work and pays exceptional... Cat power systems here.

[@almightyracing]

@@sneakdzawhat’s it like to be a “master” at auto then becoming like an apprentice again?

[@DarkKnightBusa]

@@almightyracing if you know you know, if you don’t know, you don’t know.

[@sdjnwhyNZ]

Typical figure of a good tradie: down to earth; straight to the point; problem solving; sense of humour

[@perrymaxwell4488]

Must be a big job to fix a whole mountain

[@danabbott2398]

Thanks for the tour. I was a road mechanic for years. Retired now but this video made me miss those days.

[@kingalex1998]

I hot a fix for your snap ring pliers put a small o ring right under the screw and put it back in the oring should keep the screw from vibrating out

[@161metalworks]

Best one yet this guys a gem

[@craigtuck1741]

nice to see a real working mans truck, great tip on the johnsons baby wash for clean out your eyes

[@ianhall6614]

Any dude who builds his own work truck and rocks the genuine fake wood grain in it is gonna be a minty dude. Hats off to all those who keep the industry running day and night in all weather conditions. Absolute sick fuckin truck!

[@ECE2424]

I’ve been an electrician for 26 years and have seen and worked through some pretty difficult situations over the years but feel completely green and an absolute wimp when I think of what these fellas do for a living. MAD respect from Toronto 🇨🇦 👏👍✌️

[@Gibalt]

Love to see the rough af sticker on the first Cabinet. RIP Jord

[@alexpro6264]

True legends will not be forgotten

[@workingguy-OU812]

I came back to re-watch this video. He did a good job and had some interesting tools and set-ups.

[@mr.airsoft8295]

This guy is great. Very no-nonsense and just tells stuff the way it is.

[@ryanfoss2671]

So glad Nick from New Girl is doing well

[@Gonz.0]

Didn’t notice it til I read your comment. Now I can’t unsee it. Haha

[@wearsjorge55]

Underrated comment

[@davej.a1698]

Love the 8 pound hand hammer. Have a few similar myself 👌🏼

[@Centralcoastlife]

Great truck, great tour Alex! I love the mentality “build your own truck”. You gotta make it for what your needs are. I got a feeling you could get yourself through any situation . KISS (keep it simple stupid) engineering right? Solid rig 💪 hope to see more of you from Tekamo.

[@raynjpg]

That's a damn fine truck, Alex. A pleasure to watch you show her off. It's a damn shame what happened to International. From building beautiful trucks like yours, to putting trucks on the road just to end up always in the shop. I'm a soft-handed computer science major myself, but my dad's also a field mechanic. I've got lots of respect for you guys, keeping the machines running and the world turning. Keep it up, man. Much love from California. Can't imagine living through the weather you work in.

[@JeepinJeb]

My dream build brotha! Keep it simple stupid! Beautiful rig!

[@LesWiles]

Just want to say i appreciate this channel. The camerawork is A1. Please dont change the way you film your content. It's not broken, so there is no need to fix it.

[@TimberTramp]

More logger mechanics please boys!

[@michaelfairchild]

At the age of almost 40, I do get jealous of those people jobs.

[@brahmvandop100]

Great tour! Love the old school nature of this guy and his truck.

[@-Nobody-1]

That truck is sick. Awesome. Nice set up 👍.

[@markm0000]

“This all looks like random crap but I use this stuff all the time.” Same here brother

[@mikemuzzell5167]

Alex and I could drink beers all day. My kinda fella and your truck is perfect. Functional is perfection on a service truck. Nice build !

[@069francoforte]

best video i've watched on youtube in ages, what a machine! 😎 props to Alex, he seems like a stand up dude too!

[@kalebgriffith4340]

I would love to see more of him working on stuff

[@daltoncarr8861]

Tons of respect to Alex. You can just tell he gets it done.

[@Lucasholzlein]

Let’s go another vid and another truck tour 😎

[@TYSuggested]

This guy seems awesome! Love his truck and attitude, you just know he gets shit done. Wouldn't mind seeing him around on the cannel. Keep kicking ass guys!

[@williamb2642]

Cool truck Alex..I did HE field repair back in the day, had a 1990 Topkick. Im 60 now but i loved it back then..no way I could keep up now but there was a time! Stay safe take care of yourself..the years are hard on mechanics my friend.

[@rockabillyredneck13]

That truck is sick.

[@djosbun]

Freaking awesome that he build this truck. Superb! R.I.P. Johnny.

[@mitchellpearce1459]

Watched this video over 10 times

[@texasloudnproud1036]

That is a hardcore old school rockin service truck!🇺🇸💯💯💯💯

[@powderriver2424]

What can I say, I love this set up. Doing what this guy does you have to build your own truck, and modern rigs are absolutely a pile they do keep good men in the mechanic business. I love the 15spd. swap you've got to have that deep reduction, so many guys they just don't know how to drive they will never understand why creeper gears are so important in certain applications.

[@DemoFly]

This guy rules

[@jlimify]

Great video, that's the toolbox of a real mechanic

[@FishFarmerRam]

Field mechanics are badass simple as that

[@stevelarkin329]

Outstanding video !!!!! All the very best to Alex & Henry

[@grizzly-bear-1k24miles2]

“Ide be lost without the leatherman” ain’t truer words be spoken

[@douglasmayherjr.5733]

Pretty awesome work truck, that obviously gets used everyday. Pretty smart using reliable components. Thanks for the videos.

[@greasemonkey060]

Best truck tour to date, thanks for sharing

[@ramin123a]

From the getgo I knew something hit his head. Didn’t know it was a cylinder 😂. Best luck brotha from another field tech

[@heavywrenchkris]

What a beauty

[@ckeppa]

This dude is awesome id have a beer and talk tools with him and his pup any day

[@TekamoHD]

Alex is definitely awesome!

[@mackingram6659]

This is for the dawgs. So many skids and tech bros running Squamish, Whistler, and Pemberton. This is The Dude that turns the gears.

[@timlemire3897]

This guy’s my hero ✊🏼

[@jeffreysolsby6806]

“Not sparingly”. Totally gonna borrow that. Great rig and vid.

[@stuartwest5125]

Sky wrench, that’s what I’m going to start calling the cranes in our shop. That’s a good one.

[@cheeseymccheese7249]

I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this fella and his truck. The ingenuity that comes with being a HD bush mechanic is huge.

[@evansorensen7911]

Seal driver sockets. I’m glad I’m not the only one haha. A good mechanic is all about improvising 🤘

[@DMSparky]

Really sick, that truck looks like a no nonsense beast. Some times in the bush you just gotta maker happen, but at the same time sounds like this guy likes doing the job right. I respect anybody who uses lots of brakleen and takes the time to properly clean shit off too. I know being a mechanic out there would be tough but sounds like a dream job. Hopefully Alex lets you guys film some service calls.

[@tmaskaly_15]

So sick! Stoked to see the Jordie Lunn Rough AF sticker.

[@Terry_Baker]

Welcome to the channel Alex !

[@mason22221000]

One of the best in the business, great guy too!

[@colinmckay6373]

Excellent that’s the next hour i can hide from the wife and watch this 😂

[@yonmusak]

Great video. Cool guy and funny AF

[@TexasTick]

Hoping we get more videos about this fellar.

[@superseries7007]

Best interview so far. Henry the dog. 😍

[@KarrbonFiber]

I really dig that old International. I love these truck tour videos.

[@deesenutz3631]

Awesome down to earth guy! I feel lost without my leatherman too 😂 won’t leave the house without it lol

[@olishelaflushmzd3]

I love this guy and his setup, please do more videos !!

[@jakelopes2789]

I love a truck like that in my life

[@420people]

Always stoked when i see this rig cruising down 99.

[@7ofmine258]

Nice setup! Youve got it covered.

[@farmyardfab]

Awsome truck!!! I love the combo, mechanical dt466 15 speed and 4x4, talk about the holy grail! Only thing more I would want for our farm is a crew cab.

[@thevanvirgin]

That 8lb wrist hammer is legit. Well, I know what kinda handle I'm gonna stick on that rusty head I have languishing down the workshop...

[@alexanderngawaka]

hats off, what a show that was thank you

[@davidhorner5655]

Johnson’s baby shampoo for the eyes is a great tip, gonna go to the store and get one for the truck tomorrow.

[@jaydoubleu101]

Alex does our equipment repairs and service. Great guy.

[@Chadis420]

Love how he's advertising the tumbler with beer

[@Spearfisher1970]

Thank you for this truck tour. I learned a few things.

[@adrianlowe20]

The mini purse is the best thing ever

[@trentparker6180]

More videos of Alex !!!!

[@nathankisner8332]

Alex understands what ALL the service truck crane/body builders don't. We want a bulletproof, dependable, easy to fix, with a crane that will pick the earth. Every new model gets worse and worse. Spend more time working on the service truck than making money.

[@paullambert6485]

I worked at an oilsands site that tosses out tools when they hit 6 years old. Ive actually had to bury 6 complete snap on tool chests full of tools. insane in the membrane.

[@melias67]

Love seeing these rigs. No one really runs anything like this here in Australia mainly just Ute’s (pick-ups as you guys say) with some basic boxes.

[@devinmanderson]

At some piont imma have my own rig then once I get on tekamo then I know I've made it lol

[@tommyobrien9480]

Very Very interesting thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍

[@bradytinker8072]

Love the truck all mechanical it’s bad ass man

[@jakewaters5563]

It’s guys like this that make me wanna quit forklifts and get into a proper field truck

[@0dbm]

The world is ours with tools and trucks

[@callummckay7364]

F*ck ya Tekamo!! Stoked to see Alex on here!!

[@halon7476]

Nice machine 👏

[@andresramirez9685]

Coolest service truck!

[@jamesjl334]

This is an awesome truck man, but you gotta fluid film the heck out of it or something. A paint sprayer and a gallon or two will make all that rusty steel last so much longer.

[@paulpatenaude3208]

Excellent truck tour
