[@jermeygarzia7808]

My favorite thing about you, the Butter Jeep, and the Dirt Head Shed in general is I feel like this is something that me and some buddies would build in our garages. Not a 100k bolt on build list, just a self fabricated or stock upgrade build.

At 22:10 that lifted civic is the bomb! In Wisconsin, those kinds of toys are the most fun in my opinion. The big jeeps are so overbuilt for the wheeling we have, it’s not that fun. A stock jeep or modified civic/subaru/toyota is more fun on the little forest roads we have.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Agreed. Thanks

[@ssarkees]

Dave, I’ve been loving all the welding and custom fabrication in these last two posts. Was awesome watching you fabricate and build the suspension on that thing and now the welding and work on this rear end! Keep it up brother! By the way, probably IS a good idea to sped time with your family… we will still be here!

[@thedirtheadshed]

Much appreciated. Thanks for the feedback

[@svenjonsson9]

Great episode, I know it takes a LOT of work to produce a 45 minute video, but really enjoyed it! Keep showing the actual welding building, and so forth, and the damage that happens!
