what year is that you selling floor pan lol

[@DetroitMicroSound]

Widebody the cab, with rally fenders, so it has fenders over the front wheels, then fenders in rear, with big ass rally mud flaps all around? ....Oldschool Hella rally lighting on top.... It'll look like a tiny rally raid/Dakar, or Safari truck.

[@rthomp03]

The amount of progress you guys make in a single video is staggering. Some channels would stretch this one episode into months of incremental progress. But you guys knock it out in record time, and I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate that fact.

[@CRneu]

Yeah, the speed that Ethan works at is incredible. It shows his knowledge and comfort with metal fab. The turnaround time on these projects is nuts.

[@FinishedProject]

It's bitter sweet to me. It satisfies my adhd and want to see the awesome factor but I also love how indepth some other channels show you.

[@MrIbib]

Or years, anyone remember Project Binky?

[@AccAkut1987]

I mean it is clear that this project was done over weeks if not months. The boys probably just decided that doing big singular episodes work better with their audience. I'd guess if you have more videos labelled "Ep. 26" or thereabouts random non-subbed viewers have less incentive to click on it. Also iirc in recent times KZbin changed something in their pay system, favouring long real life videos.

[@AndyBee90]

Yes guys never change love this way

[@Chris-rw3zc]

So glad I sold you guys this truck, I love what it’s become and there is nothing else out there like it. Your guys videos are so unique and you guys have a lot of talent and I can’t wait to see what you do with it next.

[@EdwinOlding]

This is going to be the most fun project to drive yet! Finally something we can take passengers in!

[@lukewood829]

Hey man, have you ever realised how mad it is that you can reach 32000 people in 2 hours with the cool stuff you guys make. Bonkers! Keep it up. I want a welder and to find a very cheap quad and then something fun to put it in.

[@amberaerojack5800]

Dude these trucks have been getting really popular over here in New Zealand and now you guys just 6x6 one! this is absolutely sick as always

[@motosk8er2]

@@GrindHardPlumbingCo I'm so stoked to see this finished. This is one of the coolest projects you guys have done! Any plans to try and tap into the water cooling to add a heat exchanger so the cab can be heated?

[@davidblanck4131]

For anyone who might be concerned about merch quality because you got burned by other channels. Rest assured. For at least the hoodies, this is the definition of premium. Will definitely be getting more stuff in the future. Love what you guys do. Thanks!

It MUST!

[@crippledproductions2194]

They’re already a thing. Honda acty 6x6.

[@bwofficial1776]

@@crippledproductions2194 The Acty Crawler is 6x4. The middle axle wasn't powered and was just there to wrap the treads around. There's a recent video of an Acty Crawler fire truck where the seller goes under the truck and shows the axles/suspension. Now, whether or not adding the treads can be considered powering the middle axle is a debate...

[@CRneu]

I've said it before but I'll say it again. Thanks for being an engineering/mechanic/automotive channel that isn't all macho/bravado based. There's no weird american flag crap, there's no scammy bro-brands, there's no being weirdly proud to be a rural person(i say that as a rural person), and there's no weird ego crap. It's just some folks having a blast in their shop making a silly project. I appreciate it.

[@CLCIII]

Ethan NEVER ceases to amaze me with how he just makes stuff work! BRILLIANT!

[@jonnielawrence]

I really liked the way you and @ebaymotors sort of broke the 4th wall, but more showed us into the involvement they have with the videos. It was only 2 minutes at the end but it was different!

You bet!

[@esqueue]

Love this project!!!. I had a great laugh as I recently noticed that you guys loved the word "premium" on the last video. Seeing you guys release the premium bottle opener and admitting that you love the word was... Premium.

[@johnmauer6079]

The fact that you guys are doing so good makes me happy. Strong work.

[@k7dg]

Guys waching your videos the only limitation to your builds i think is your imagination and thats unique i haven't see this anywhere else. You are one of the kind. Above every thing they are also functional. My name is Jim and i am from greece.

[@jamesdeath3477]

Look at you actually adding practicality to the Polaris! A nice enclosed body. Should be a whole lot nicer when it's cold or wet than the original.

[@Hellsong89]

Yeah in that config it might be something to pay 30K new.. Hell if that thing was road legal here, i might even consider buying it... then again its Polaris.. price of spares went up.. its side by side.. so price went up and its road legal with Kei truck on top.. yeah it would cost around 60K and you could not get spare parts for it with out selling a kidney. Guy i know did little suspension maintenance in his Polaris ATV.. "just" 1K€ bill in parts alone, yeah no. How ever if Mitsubishi did this.. now we are talking. Simple and reliable 6x6 using car parts that are already in production. Sadly that is not the case.

[@JPEight]

Especially if they get as far as connecting up the heater core, though that's pretty lopw priority.

[@troycongdon]

Thank you for integrating your sponsor in a way that makes it obvious that it is a sponsorship (not insulting your audience) but also in a way that seems value added. I waste a lot of time on youtube, this is one of the best jobs I have seen matching a product to an audience. I usually skip forward during the sell, no need to do so here. Well done to both you and eBay.

[@GrindHardPlumbingCo]

thanks man!

[@landonmott2720]

This has to be one of the more unique builds you guys have come up with, I love it and everything else y’all do, I can’t wait to see it done

@Grind Hard Plumbing Co Its honestly impressive. I'm sure this one will become a fun truck to have around. I've been meaning to get back in the garage and finish my own projects. Seeing what you guys can accomplish with what you got amazes me and honestly helps me figure out what to do when I get stuck. Often when I'm working I'll have your videos playing on the laptop and sometimes when I'm stuck you guys happen to have figured out a solution before I can. I hope you don't mind me stealing your ideas from time to time. In the end thankyou.

GH Crew, I hope leaving build suggestions is ok. I love the mini trucks, especially the hard to find 90's double cabs. Crazy Idea: Upgrade a double cab mini truck engine, put double track snowmobile tracks on the back, use that wheel/ski combination they use in the Alps. 4 door, enclosed snow vehicle with heat and tunes.

Will's dream was my reality. A couple of years ago I had my phone in my back pocket, slipped and landed on a rock. Cracked and completely bent a phone I had only had for like two months. XD Can't wait to see that thing driving. Keep up the good work, and keep your phone out of your back pocket Will!

[@UmmmmmmmWhat]

Idk how you keep making me think "this is the greatest thing ever" over and over with builds. I know they're all unique, which makes it hard to compare them to each other. I think that's what does it. It's a constant state of we need to build a thing that does that thing better than the thing we already made. It's always taking something odd to new levels.

[@GrindHardPlumbingCo]

The odd toys are the most fun to build and drive!

[@intricateinc8566]

I think we always want to challenge ourselves and one up our previous successes. I enjoy coming along for the process, these guys put out thoroughly enjoyable content for all of us big kids that appreciate imagination come to life through fabrication. Plus the weird "odd" things are just more neat and less common place.

Amazing conversion. The funniest part of seeing this video today, was my 14yr old had just this last summer started his own lawn mowing business and he was looking at one of those small trucks and pointed it out to me. He said the moment he gets his license, he wants one so he can haul his equipment locally.

[@m.od.3116]

[@ogfoxhound]

As the proud new owner of an old 6x6 m35a2....I love this. Awesome build

[@seansysig]

Guys home run project. I so want this 6x6! eBay Motors sponsored projects really blow us away. A 6x6 with cab is crazy. You need to get a heater core and fan kit for the cab.

[@Treehandler]

I can visualize replacing parts on a vehicle, but I have no concept of how to look at two torn down vehicles and visualize how to combine them. Always amazed by this channel

[@Original22]

You have the ability you just need to learn how to tap into it !

[@Hellsong89]

Look dimensions, look how each part operates and moves and if one does not effect negatively anything around it, it should be fine. You can also use both versions of CAD to visualize it if your spatial awareness sucks.

[@footnotedrummer]

I can tell you with supreme confidence, that Ethan would have made an excellent Chassis engineer. His "I've learned about things because I've done things" knowledge isn't possessed by far too many. I do think it'll have issues with Caster as it jounces though. Those tie rods are really steep, and the plan view angle is also rather quite high. I'm guessing the front tires are going to splay out as it jounces. However (to his point) things are far more forgiving on sand and snow.

[@richardaragon1391]

It would be cool if you turn that into a mini overlander like you did that with the Jeep. One of my suggestions was put a braking system on that trailer when you were having troubles

[@akselbering291]

A trick to accurately shortening frames is to leave 2 markers using a punch fx, a precise distance from eachother on the side of your cut you plan to keep. That way you can always tell when you butt the two ends back together, if one is slightly shorter or longer than the other.
