Great day of wheeling in MazGrande with friends

[@builtmyway]

I like how Dave is very supportive of the people that have builds that aren't super expensive/big/flashy. Seems like a genuine guy just haven fun!

[@thedirtheadshed]

I dig em all

[@ryanalves8176]

Love seeing the low budget builds holding up on the trail.

[@georgewhisennand3211]

That's cause Dave's got class.

[@thehamptons6844]

Since the early DED shows I have always appreciated the pride you take pride in your work. You don’t try to do something ridiculous, you build what the average guy would want. You and Mike Finnegan are my top 2 KZbin shows! I have always wanted you and him to do a project together. I think it would be awesome!!

[@thedirtheadshed]

That would be cool. He’s an old friend

I love being able to show all the cool stuff. Not just 4x4s

The black and aluminum stretched TJ at the 7 minute mark was my old rig….spent 5 years building and wheeling it! Glad to see it’s still out in the wild!

Worked for Bob in that bright red jeep for awhile doing body work for him at his shop! Glad to see him out wheeling, that jeep is rad!

It was good seeing him out for sure

[@coolonpaper6381]

Your build videos are always great, but I do love watching you get to wheel them as well. Looks like a cool trail.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks! I enjoy getting out and using them

[@Kyle-ev4fk]

Agreed the only thing that would have made this video better is if the MazGrade was featured more!

Those of us who can't, get to because of you, thanks. I miss the mountains.

Man I need to find the funds for a new build. Times are tough but I need a new thing to occupy my mind. Thanks Dave your channel always inspires me.

Thanks tor watching. A cheap wheeler can make for fun weekends

[@jimletzring9791]

I like seeing full size broncos out on the trails. I have a 79 that I've been building for a FEW years. I also have a 76 bronco crawler that needs rebuilt after I rolled it

[@thedirtheadshed]

Hard to stay motivated on the long term projects

[@haroldshobbies]

Love the drive by vehicle descriptions. I have dreams of building a sick 4 door tracker. My goal is air conditioning and fit the family for summer wheeling

That’s a good one to start with

It’s probably my favorite rig right now

[@rediron44]

Good ol wheeling video. Love it, its why we do all the stuff in those shops, when all that work finally pays off, the feeling is hard to describe. When you build something, its always more fulfilling than just buying something. Good video

That is true. Thank you

Oh yea. It’s like spaghetti brothers

[@floydstowe]

Looks like a awesome group of people. Love that you can drive your truck to the trail and wheel the shit out of it and drive it home nicely done

Thank you. That’s my favorite part

Totally dig MazGrande Dave 🤘🏼 looks like it works really well

It does . I need to drive it more and really get good with it

[@americonoffroadadventures8132]

You are right, Mazgrande does rhyme with knarly. Love dirt! Thanks

It’s a good rig. And it’s always ready to rock

[@theericbenson1692]

Mineral Basin trail in American Fork Canyon utah is a similar river trail with a mine at the top. It's kinda short, but changes all the time. It's a fun one to do after work on a Tuesday. Busy on the weekends because it's so close to salt lake city. There's 2 other good ones up there, too. Forest Lake and Mary Ellen's gulch. Mary Ellen's gulch is easy, but rough and bumpy. And her bush is overgrown. So rocky mountain pin striping is inevitable..

[@thedirtheadshed]

Good to have a trail you can run after work

[@shanewright6958]

Looks like a great time 👍👍

Great show Dave, I have a Sami I'm modifying. I'm stretching it 7.5" to accommodate the same length front and rear drive shafts. Bobing cab same as you had on your previous show but building bed with two Sami back halves. My question is what thickness of metal did Fred and you use for the rear solid shackle mounts? Thanks for your show.

Maybe you guys can help, I'm currently on an overseas assignment, but when I return, I need a 3 row overlanding/off road vehicle (New addition to the family). I had a 2007 liberty that I used as my little off-road truck, but I need something bigger now. I've narrowed it down to: 1st Gen sequoia, 2nd gen Montero, or R51 pathfinder... Maybe a Commander? I'd love to hear your advice, thanks! Love your videos Dave!

[@allanstipe2829]

I have a Commander as I also have a large family. I really like it. But, I have found that their are not many aftermarket off-road options available for it. I have a 2 inch lift and slightly bigger tires. That’s about as good as I’m going to get. But I can still have some fun with the family!

​@@user-nf1no1py4w thought about that too, if I can't find a decent land cruiser or lexus between El Paso and Fort Cavazos, I might have to branch out into other options such as the GMT800/900. Land cruiser would be ideal, but that "Toyota tax"... 😬 Lol
