The "Lemonator" roadtrip to Roadkill Zip-tie Drags Part 1 fail or win???

[@christopher88719]

Chris, you are a one-man army. So freaking badass!

[@99goat99]

The conversation about the chihuahua and how we love and would do anything for our dogs really hit me. My wife and I enjoyed the company of a long hair chihuahua for 11 years, then he got pancreatitis and the first vet recommended we just put him down at age 11, since he was "past his prime". Screw them. I knew the little guy wanted to live, and so did we. On to the second emergency vet at 3 AM, Angel Memorial Animal Hospital in Boston. It was touch and go for quite a while, and expensive. We were told he had less than a 10% chance of survival. Stay with him all night and came back each day for almost 2 weeks. But he made it - and lived to age 19 and a half. Cost? Bah. I'd have done anything for my little buddy, like you two were saying. They're our children.

[@jthev]

With us, it was a beat up old tom cat with raggedy ears and a droopy lower lip we had adopted a couple of years before. We spent the money we saved for a trip to Hawaii on him. We never regretted it.

You started out with a smile, I hope your smiling again by the time you get back to Vegas!

[@regabernathy6039]

I love it! Driving through rain and snow, no heater, no wipers (no cup holders - lol). All the breakdowns on the way and limping between auto part stores. A true roadkill road trip!

[@Westsideautomotive]

chris i love your work and videos but dude. take it from an older guy get some knee pads in your trousers and stop sitting on your foot that way or in only a few short years you will be in major pain every day of your life. ive been doing what you do for 35 years and now i have medication for pain in my joints and knees and just had a second injection in my spine to help with the sciatica. all due to the love of cars.

[@danielscott6787]

You are definitely right. My Father told me the same thing in the early 80's. I pay for my "hard headedness" every day now in my 50's.

[@Coalblack79k10]

Way better than roadkill I’d say half of us didn’t know about the zip tie drags this time since they left KZbin your videos is the best part of the whole roadkill zip tie drags event haha 👍

Road kill aint got nothing on you bro'! Admire your perseverance!! Great channel!

Awesome road trip, most interesting channel on youtube man! I could watch youre adventures for hours!

[@johnhoffman8203]

that was a great video, I trucked for ten years and I know how you feel on the side of the road cold and broke, but at least I had my three emergency triangles and heat (sometimes) which is more than you had LOL.

[@marthinuskoekemoer4323]

Hi there, my dad always talked about his American muscle cars he had in South Africa and it's ashamed i never did. I only drive in a f150. I appreciate all the videos and thankyou for sharing it with us all.

[@stephenhorbatiuk2811]

Super Cool yellow machine. I like the temporary hood. It’s something you don’t expect. Makes it bad ass!!!! You are hiding the monster under the hood! It’s a mystery! Cheers

Hi Chris, damn if it's not one thing it's another, I love those crazy road trips we find you on been there myself but not too that extent, definitely one hell of a ride, thanks for taking us along. Cheers !

[@cougar1972xr7]

needed a wood bat to roll the lips with just put it beteen the tire and fender and roll it back and forth and keep moving to larger part of the bat its the way we used to do it back in the day

[@keepout7439]

Love the channel and Mopars, I used to switch studs( right/ left) so people could not steal my tires. Put a stock big block, with cam, converter, gears and run mid 11' s all day, cheap build but cool

[@raym3036]

These adventures are better with someone in the passenger seat. Thanks for taking the time to share with us.

[@brucegwynn8509]

Love your channel, you are very talented , I've been binging for 2 days on your vids now

[@ArcticAstrophysics]

At 22:00 those coils are such a pain being all the way back there, luckily your car is low to the ground. In my old ram I made a longer distributor wire and mounted my coil to the fender wall for quick easy access because the same exact thing happened to me the wires came off, and even being 6'4 I need a step stool to reach back there but not any longer!

[@bamcustoms7327]

Why are so many people comparing you to Roadkill? You don't have a support crew, chase vehicle, film crew, Roadkill budget, or a partner to share the workload of all them repairs and most of all, you are still on KZbin, for free. YOU MY FRIEND ARE ROADKILL FOR REAL!!! Good on you brother, love the vids... If you ever need a partner, I'll make the time, FOR REAL ROADKILL!

[@mraycgz]

Bam Customs did you watch the video? He broke out a roadkill shirt in the video and literally said “ because roadkill”.

[@brucemcclelland9967]

Better late than never, road trippen, love an easy fix! COIL re attached. Great stuff Chris, watch allot!

Love the color of your car I have a Lamborghini Countach kit car same color this scenario happened with me I was out on a ride had a vibration and Noise thought had a flat checked all. Was good drove slow yes I made it home left rear two lugs totally snapped off the other three nuts lose no spare no Jack I worked for Dodge for a few years I'm a Mopar guy also I enjoy all your videos

[@chrishamilton2559]

Are you on drugs right now because you sound like you're on drugs right now because you never end a sentence or begin one it's just a continuous stream-of-conciousness style of run-on sentence that drives people like me half mad but might just be what you intended to type because it seems like people today are inclined to type in major run-on sentences because they feel that punctuation is beneath them but I say that if punctuation is beneath you then why bother with things like proper spelling or spaces because if it's all-brakes-off then fuck it what do you need any of that bullshit for anyway. Anyway, it's been nice meeting you. Not especially nice or anything. In fact, to be honest, it may not have ACTUALLY been nice after all,.... but who's keeping count anyway, amirite?

[@buckeye8480]

I love it great video!! It doesn't get anymore real than this. Awesome Duster!

[@imMANTA73]

nice trick with the drum Chris

[@dave1135]

I never trust a impact to tighten a wheel down, I go around with a torque wrench to tighten the wheels, then retorque 50 miles later. When I worked at Good year in the nineties it was a company requirement to double check the torque on all wheels

[@TheVenom8343]

Those were the wrong lug nuts for those other wheels. Surprised you didn't catch that being you worked at a Goodyear.

[@kevinlimo696]

Still is.

[@huntsman5226]

It's been a ruff ride all ready hope the rest of the trip goes better for you stay safe out there

[@onenikkione]

so True about parking away from everyone and then one car will park right next to you

[@orlandonostagiafever1964]

Men were do you get these cars lol love dusters especially in bahama yellow .

[@jeffreyfremouw6509]

Had the same problem today probably because we used them impact guns we need to remember to torque them damn things great video

[@jaredanthony8070]

That's not really an issue when your impact goes to about 200 ft lbs of torque 😂 now if it doesnt... better torque em 😂

[@topperthompson580]

Damn, what Napa did you go to? My store closes at 7, and our Distribution Center in Norcross, GA closes at 9. Looks later than that where you are.

[@shoominati23]

It looks like a Taxi with those steelies

[@MrBrombomb]

The cutout in the hood makes it look like it has shark teeth surrounding the blower. Pretty cool! Paint the hood to match the car & then paint the teeth white.

[@friguy4444]

Great video of your road trip with the Dodge. Thank you for the awesome content. But why on earth didn't you buy new wheel studs at the parts store when you were there? I thought that was the goal after you got rolling LOL. I know you thought and then stuff but it wasn't a problem until other stuff wheel and tire motor vacuum etc etc. Been there done that LOL> Thanks again.

[@junkerup]

Greg Wayne Dulcich was bringing me wheel studs

[@lilrip2691]

Now we know who hit the Ultra Mega Powerball...Buyin up ALL the bad ass Mopars. I would do the same damn thing.

[@jessdontcare8717]

yeh I know ..its sucks when they rub. Ive got a 70 dart swinger with a swapped in 8 3/4 suregrip from an earlier Dart. I " was " trying to run 255 60 15's on it.. well they " did " fit in the garage with some lip trimmin on brand new AMD quarters .. but when I tried to drive it on the street the LH rear started slicing the tire just like this Thats with new shocks - spring plates - leaf spring bushings - rear stockish height shackles .so I gave in and put on a set of 225's from another car. but I think I could get away later with a set of 245's.

🤔well I wonder what mopar put left hand threads on for

[@angrypants7619]

Not a road trip with a trailer, and you wouldn't be watching this- boring

[@johnchalleen3278]

Not as long as he has his 2.76 gears. Besides, getting there is most of the fun. That's right...most, not half.😆

[@earlsspeedshop7058]

Paul Wrighton why in the world would you want a trailer just to take a road trip in a classic idk kinda defeats the purpose to me 😂 trailers are only good for dragging cars home from the field to get them going again or to haul a drag car to the track so you are not stranded if you blow it up lol and even for that I just flat tow it behind my 69 wagon

[@johnkramer7161]

He has 2 of them

[@rodroberts8715]

Waiting for part 2. Curious if you made it.

[@SR-gt350]

Chris, great job! Maybe you should get an AMA membership. Lol

[@60EFFIE]

Who didn’t torque the lugs after changing rear gears?

[@caratcranker5874]

He could of also stole 1 or 2 studs from the other rear wheel, to balance out the fucked LHS studs better.

[@TheVenom8343]

It's not because they didn't tighten them, it failed because those were the wrong lug nuts for those other wheels. Those lug nuts are for Crager type wheels, like the drag radials are on...

[@jeffleblanc8850]

That’s a awesome idea bolts in the hood awesome

[@davidledford6482]

love the video,your not welding,or cutting metal,and is a much lighter an different car than any charger...

[@Superflyssrs]

My car has a 440 and still has the pcv set up. I also have mufflers. So do I simply remove the Pcv valve and cap where the hose is connected to the carburetor? On the other the side the hose is connected to the air filter cover . Again do I simply remove it and replace the both sides with valve cover breathers?

[@cinrambrad]

Another great video, thanks for sharing...........( my first car was a 71 Duster, you would make fun of it for having a slant 6).

[@allenschmitz9644]

if he had a slant 6 in this he wouldnt be spending 90% of the video freezing on the side of the road.

[@01trsmar]

@@allenschmitz9644 ...Not true,I bought many slant 6 Mopars that didnt run and I replaced them with 340's,360's even some big blocks and they ran better ! Reason some people think a slant 6 is better,is because the guys who bought a slant 6 drove slow and like a Granny,and slant 6 cars were usually sold to Grannies !! Guys who bought slant 6 cars never modified them...V8 owners usually modified them ,even 318 2bbl cars either new or years later .When you modify them if you dont know what your doing or modify them too much they become less reliable the leaving them stock ! All Mopar engines of that era were reliable from the 6 to the 440 all would last well past 150,000 miles with oil changes and tune ups ! Remember people have no clue true mileage on old cars as they dont read over 99,999....some have a 6th digit but opposite color meaning its only a 1/10th of a mile readout and then its 99,999.9 then 00,000.0 never reads 100,000 miles ! Cheers....but the rear studs and wheel becoming lose has nothing to do with the car being a V8 !

The problem with the toy charger is is it doesnt have the flying buttress rear window like a 69 daytona or 500

[@kruleworld]

sounds like the AMT dukes of hazzard charger kit. rather than doing a proper 69 charger, they just chucked the 500 body they had into the kit. This problem existed for 25 years. Only the latest batch has the correct buttress after the community kicked up enough of a stink for them to change it. thumbs.worthpoint.com/zoom/images4/1/1014/13/amt-ertl-dukes-hazzard-general-lee_1_69fa44a5beeb1a37d0be4cc99b4d1267.jpg

[@mraycgz]

Love your stuff but bolting that hood down could be disastrous. The issue is if you have a problem that involves fire and can’t get the hood open in time. Hate to lose the whole car that way. That being said you’re really handy on the mopars and like I said I love your stuff.
