Tiny 4x4 2,000 Mile Challenge

Added: 2026-05-04

[00:00:01]What would happen if you bought tiny 4x4s side unseen and attempted to drive them over 2,000 m through the desert, mountains, sand dunes, and one of the world's most famous highways. Well, when we found this rebodied Suzuki Samurai, we knew that we had to put it to this test. And for our other tiny 4x4, well, I told him we were flying there and meeting him tonight and he just sold it to someone else.

[00:00:41]>> Hey, how you doing?

[00:00:42]>> Good. How are you?

[00:00:42]>> Good. Do you mind if you're on camera today?

[00:00:44]>> Uh, as long as it doesn't get to the FBI.

[00:00:49]I'm honored that you're going to take it for a road trip that distance >> hopefully. Anyway, >> I stretched the frame 6 in to accommodate the wheelbase for the Metropolitan.

[00:01:00]>> That's funny. You would think that uh the the the Nash would be the smaller of the two, but >> Right.

[00:01:06]>> This is Ed, and he built this car right here in this awesome shop after a friend brought over a Suzuki Samurai that he rolled in the desert. He made a custom removable fiberglass top, roll cage, matching interior, and even tinted the bed liner that this entire car is covered with to match the colors to the original 1960 Nash Metropolitan. But while Ethan and I were securing the deal, Chris was, "You can't take these guys anywhere."

[00:01:37]>> This man works >> taking all this guy's oranges. He can't even walk straight. He's got so many oranges in his shirt.

[00:01:56]Oh, this just feels right, Chris.

[00:01:59]>> Oh, no. Edward, >> what?

[00:02:02]>> You like it?

[00:02:03]>> Even fit in there, >> it's so nice.

[00:02:11]This thing is I mean it's one of the nicest things we've ever looked at buying.

[00:02:17]>> Absolutely, dude. And no windows at all.

[00:02:23]>> It's not the smoothest ride in history, but Samuris are not known for that.

[00:02:27]Teeny tiny short wheelbase, solid axles.

[00:02:30]Ethan and I came back from the test drive smiling ear to ear. But this isn't the only Samurai we need to buy today.

[00:02:36]So, we got to hit the road.

[00:02:41]It's Ed's house for dinner tonight. Holy smokes, Chris.

[00:02:52]>> Out on the open road.

[00:02:59]>> Listen to that 1.3 m scream.

[00:03:05]And you are down and I feel bubble and I >> Wow. This thing is just perfection. Honestly, can you see out of your mirrors? A little bit. Man, the weather could not be better for this right now.

[00:03:29]>> Yeah. And as we make it more and more north, it'll be >> it's going to get me. This is as much wind protection as we get.

[00:03:49]>> Let's do our first downshift on our first hill.

[00:03:54]>> Yeah, it's not exactly fast up the hills.

[00:04:03]You know what I just realized that's like deeply concerning?

[00:04:06]>> This is the first weird vehicle we picked up as a road trip that I can think of that's a manual.

[00:04:13]Yeah, that's that that's just wrong. How have we how do we keep buying automatics?

[00:04:19]>> Everything's an automatic.

[00:04:23]>> It's so good.

[00:04:25]>> Wonderful. It feels like a car from the ' 60s and '8s combined, which is what it is. But it feels it's so nice. So much fun to drive.

[00:04:33]>> I love it already.

[00:04:35]>> This tank holds about 10 gallons of gasoline. And that should easily get us to our next samurai purchase, which we had to hustle and find in just a few hours time because of some unfortunate circumstances.

[00:04:49]So, I'm really hoping that the fact that my seat number is 13B makes up for the fact that the seller sold one of the trucks we're going to buy right now.

[00:04:59]Now, just now I told him we were flying there and meeting him tonight and he just sold it to someone else.

[00:05:06]>> See, I see this as a I see this as an opportunity to find something even more interesting to buy.

[00:05:15]>> Oh, man.

[00:05:17]Well, there's plenty of fish in the sea and there's plenty of samuris in California, but not like the one I wanted.

[00:05:25]>> There's a there's a kind of crafty Ford Explorer preerunner for pretty cheap down there.

[00:05:32]Be pretty entertaining.

[00:05:35]>> Oh no. Oh no.

[00:05:58]Super clock certified. Dude, this thing rips.

[00:06:03]>> I'd be crazy if we're going downhill, but only slightly.

[00:06:07]>> Our first overtake.

[00:06:10]We did it. We did just barely.

[00:06:28]We're meeting up at a gas station so we have some light. So, he's going to see us roll in. And I'm excited to see their reaction cuz obviously you got to be into samuris to have a samurai.

[00:06:41]This is quite the Samurai. I was just walking out of the gas station here, looking at you standing next to this thing, and I was having a really hard time believing that the wheelbase of the Samurai had to be lengthened to fit the Nash cuz it looks so tiny.

[00:06:59]>> And it is so tiny.

[00:07:01]>> We'll have a direct comparison here in a couple minutes.

[00:07:04]>> Yeah, we will.

[00:07:05]>> The first Samurai seller I hit up to buy besides this one, he knew we were flying here. He knew we were serious and he sold it while we were on the plane. So, this is a last minute arrangement. We'll see what we're looking at.

[00:07:21]Woo! Look at that.

[00:07:27]>> Good. How are you?

[00:07:31]>> That thing's badass, dude.

[00:07:32]>> Thanks.

[00:07:35]>> You know what it is?

[00:07:37]>> It's a Hold on.

[00:07:40]It's a uh I want to say a cit not a Citron. Uh >> it's a Metsuki. Whatever it is now.

[00:07:49]>> Metropolitan. Na.

[00:07:50]>> Yep. Nash Metropolitan. There you go.

[00:07:52]>> Yep.

[00:07:53]>> But it's got a little something different underneath.

[00:07:56]>> Yeah. It's got one of these under there now.

[00:07:57]>> Exactly.

[00:07:59]>> That's exactly it.

[00:08:01]>> I'm Edwin.

[00:08:02]>> Jeff. Jeff. Nice to meet you.

[00:08:03]>> Nice to meet you. We're filming a road trip video. You mind if we film?

[00:08:06]>> Uh yeah, that's fine.

[00:08:07]>> Okay. How do you feel, bro? We had been traveling since 4 in the morning and now it's late at night in the dark. Not the most ideal situation for picking out a vehicle that you need to drive 2,000 mi home. But we don't exactly have many other options right now. So, we'll just have to cross our fingers and hope that we made a decent purchase.

[00:08:33]>> He keeps comparing it to a Chang.

[00:08:36]>> He does. Yep.

[00:08:39]>> You're going to have to talk to this man.

[00:08:40]>> He's got chang leaf issues real bad.

[00:08:44]>> So, we drove our rental car back to the airport and dropped it off. Strapped our gear to the roof. Now, we are fully self-supported on this mission. These are the only cars that will help us get home now. Checked into a hotel and waited for the daylight to show us what we had purchased.

[00:09:04]>> He's already spilled snacks. We've been here for 13 seconds.

[00:09:07]>> Chris, you want to hear the best story ever?

[00:09:10]On the plane, the second you fall asleep, Cheezits just start falling on me. And I was looking, they were on your shoulder and you leaned sideways and the Cheezits were just falling into my lap. You snuck so hard that you literally rain snacks when you sleep.

[00:09:31]>> I'm very impressed by it, honestly.

[00:09:33]Well, we woke up bright and not exactly early, but we woke up bright. And uh how are we doing?

[00:09:39]>> Good. I was just trying to diagnose why this thing's cigarette plug wasn't working. And uh it's working now. The positive battery terminal bolt here was loose. So yeah, we're about ready to hit the road and go find some trails and maybe find some weather that's like in between boiling and freezing.

[00:10:00]>> Thank you. Thank you. You have a good one. You think we're going to make it to Idaho?

[00:10:03]>> Yeah.

[00:10:05]>> He's got confidence.

[00:10:09]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:10:39]How we doing on temperature, Chris?

[00:10:41]We're about the middle. I don't see anything up there. Yeah, we're a lot faster than the air. Yeah, significantly faster. Trying to keep up with this would be quite difficult. I'm guessing you guys were in like fourth gear red line to keep up.

[00:10:58]>> Yep.

[00:10:58]>> We were in fifth gear just chilling at 2,800 RPMs up that hill.

[00:11:01]>> Really?

[00:11:02]>> Yep.

[00:11:02]>> Yeah, we downshifted to fourth up the hill.

[00:11:04]>> It's not cooling off.

[00:11:06]>> Shoot.

[00:11:09]Here we go. Boy, we made it, like 3 miles.

[00:11:12]>> Yeah, I mean at least three. That's pretty good.

[00:11:17]This is what happens when you buy a Samurai in the middle of the night.

[00:11:21]I mean, I'm not saying we're screwed or anything, but Brand new lever vent cap.

[00:11:27]>> Red RTV all around the thermostat.

[00:11:31]>> Someone's been overheating recently.

[00:11:34]Uh-oh.

[00:11:39]>> Oh, actually, it's taking a lot more than I thought.

[00:11:42]Maybe somebody just didn't bleed it properly after they replace the thermostat or something, too.

[00:11:53]I mean, hopefully. It's also possible the head gasket's like mildly bad and it's just creating its own air pockets, but not on me for it.

[00:12:02]>> But that would be pretty nice.

[00:12:04]>> Well, you know, it sounds like a great excuse to hide a boost swap or TDI swap this on the road.

[00:12:09]>> Yeah.

[00:12:12]>> Halfway up on the heat gauge.

[00:12:14]>> Going above half right now.

[00:12:16]>> In about a minute, you know.

[00:12:25]Chris has a theory. Uhoh.

[00:12:27]>> Uh, it's heating up again.

[00:12:29]>> You think the head gasket's bad?

[00:12:30]>> Did it overheat again?

[00:12:32]>> Yeah, right away.

[00:12:33]>> And we weren't even nowhere near revving it like we were.

[00:12:35]>> I agree. I I mean, I looked at it and I saw the residue in the tank and I was thinking that, but you know, >> positive thoughts. They work. No, they don't. If it's broken, it's broken. The manifestation is we don't need to do a head gasket on trail today. But the reality is we might need to do a head gasket.

[00:12:55]>> How far are we going to make it? Help us, Mr. Wizard.

[00:13:00]I want to circulate the water and get the bubbles out.

[00:13:04]That's just heating it up unnecessarily.

[00:13:09]Chris is built on a different kind of stubborn. Who do you think is more stubborn, Chris? You or Ethan?

[00:13:18]I'm sure he'd say the same about Chris.

[00:13:21]We got to make it to the next O'Reillies and get some tools and maybe a head gasket and that's what I say.

[00:13:26]>> Should I call and see if they have one inside?

[00:13:28]>> I know.

[00:13:29]>> You know what's odd? It looks like the head gasket's been done very recently.

[00:13:33]>> Oh, it does.

[00:13:34]>> Yeah. The head is like weirdly clean compared to the rest of the engine. And the edges of the head gasket you can see look kind of fresh.

[00:13:41]>> So, did they do it wrong? Maybe.

[00:13:43]>> Nope.

[00:13:44]It's just really hard to say.

[00:13:45]>> Sounds like we won't really know what's going on until we get under the hood at an auto parts store. So, I bought Chris some donuts for his troubles and we hit the road.

[00:14:02]We are just getting roasted in the desert sun up these hills. We're getting hot hot again.

[00:14:12]We made it.

[00:14:15]We made it, but barely.

[00:14:17]Did it overheat immediately again?

[00:14:19]>> Yep. This Samurai is an 87 and no one had a head gasket or a radiator for it.

[00:14:26]So, we just went for the closest we could find. Like, the size is about the same. If we knew for sure that a radiator was bad and this would solve it, then great. But no, that's not going to be.

[00:14:38]>> The Civic radiator is only 60 70 bucks.

[00:14:40]We could just buy that, put it in, and see if it's worse or better.

[00:14:47]>> Oh man, this thing is so small. We got ourselves a slightly larger radiator, the Honda Civic. The tape measure says this will fit. Maybe >> I can't sail my yacht. He's taken everything I got. All I've got this sunny I've got.

[00:15:13]Save me. Save me. Save me from this squeeze.

[00:15:20]I got a big fat mama trying to break.

[00:15:25]>> All right, everything's fixed as far as camera equipment goes. Oh, I was going to say >> you're not with the program up here, Edwin.

[00:15:35]>> Did you see the look on Chris's face when I said everything's fixed?

[00:15:40]>> No.

[00:15:43]>> One thing, Edwin, that cannot be fixed is what?

[00:15:50]I'll give you one guess.

[00:15:53]My optimism being realistic.

[00:15:57]>> Yep.

[00:15:59]Not going anywhere.

[00:16:00]>> I don't think so. Got a big old jug of red number 40 for Chris.

[00:16:04]>> Perfect.

[00:16:05]>> And whatever blue this is.

[00:16:06]>> All right.

[00:16:07]>> It's nice that they have different kinds of coolants.

[00:16:14]>> All right, Chris. Look at that. We don't have a hood, but we have a radiator that isn't full of gunk.

[00:16:21]>> That thing was I couldn't even get halfway down the dipstick.

[00:16:25]>> Really?

[00:16:26]>> Yeah. Two. Two of them only went like this far down and that was it.

[00:16:29]>> Wow. It's clocked solid.

[00:16:31]>> The first 20 minutes or so of driving, it was just staying down. Staying down.

[00:16:37]But now that we've been going slightly uphill, it's climbing again.

[00:16:47]Well, we at least made our problem take longer.

[00:16:51]That's something. All that we could do out here in the middle of nowhere is level the radiator a bit more, top it up with water, and hope we could get some miles in. But during that process, the battery on the Nash completely died.

[00:17:07]>> At the end, it says, "Keep your hopes up.

[00:17:40]Now we made it 5 miles and I haven't overheated yet. Hey, not bad.

[00:17:55]Uhoh, we lost a hose. We lost a hose.

[00:17:59]Luckily, it wasn't that hot though since it was the reservoir and not the coming from the radiator, you know.

[00:18:10]I don't know why. I just don't know why.

[00:18:19]>> Oh, we're off road now, buddy.

[00:18:22]I also have a theory that this thing's alternator is not working.

[00:18:34]That's a solid nope. Yeah, >> as I suspected, problem is just a wire that jiggled loose.

[00:18:43]>> Oh, what a great problem to have. Ones that are easy to fix.

[00:18:47]>> Yep. So, uh, >> yeah, that's 9.8 volts.

[00:18:54]All right. So, here's what we're going to do.

[00:18:58]We're going to push this thing back that way a little ways and then we're going to bump start it and then I can test the voltage while it's running and make sure the alternator is actually the problem.

[00:19:09]It almost certainly is. But start nice.

[00:19:23]Well, at first it seemed like this was going to be an easy fix and we were going to get out of this scot-free.

[00:19:30]Well, that didn't really end up being our issue.

[00:19:35]On this end had come off of the plug on the back of the alternator. Then I pulled it all out and was trying to figure out how to get it crimped back on there and I found that this end didn't go anywhere.

[00:19:46]>> Oh.

[00:19:47]>> So, that's not the problem. The problem is our alternator's not working. So, I'm trying to figure out why. Maybe we just need a new alternator. I don't know.

[00:20:00]Once you get it running, it's old enough that it'll just stay running without the alternator. So, >> yeah, >> I might start uh looking for alternators near here.

[00:20:09]Out here in the Mojave.

[00:20:11]>> Look how Chris is vibing, man. In that little truck.

[00:20:15]>> He goes from snack to snack rapidly quick. Mhm.

[00:20:28]That's cool.

[00:20:31]What is that?

[00:20:37]>> I don't know, man.

[00:20:39]What is this?

[00:20:40]>> Donut number two locked in.

[00:20:42]>> Mhm.

[00:20:43]>> Nice.

[00:20:45]It looks like I need to do some zip tie cutting is what I need to do.

[00:20:50]>> Well, if you're going to break down, break down 10 minutes from an auto parts store in the right direction. That's the moral of the story.

[00:20:56]>> Hey, I wouldn't say we're broken down.

[00:20:58]It's still running.

[00:20:59]>> That's true.

[00:21:00]>> That just needs a new alternator.

[00:21:38]Rocks. You see the rocks? Rocks. Did you see them? I did it.

[00:21:46]I love my rocks.

[00:21:48]I had a dream a few nights ago that I mounted the rock slots to my MTV.

[00:21:53]Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's going to be a reality in no time. We traveled around and cut rocks. Nice.

[00:22:03]Well, that's what we're going to do this spring. So, it's not far from reality.

[00:22:06]It's a good dream.

[00:22:24]Oh yeah, dude. These things at golden hour trundling down the highway, man.

[00:22:30]>> It's pretty nice. Yeah, it's definitely the alternator itself is bad because at idle or when the engine shut off >> Yeah. It's at lower voltage, but only by like a volt. So, like the alternator's trying to work, but it's not. If it was anything other than the alternator being the problem, the engine running wouldn't make any difference, you know? Yeah.

[00:22:50]>> But when it runs, it bumps up a volt.

[00:22:51]>> What are the odds they have an alternator?

[00:22:53]>> I don't know. We'll find out. I tried to call ahead, but they didn't answer. So, here we are.

[00:22:57]>> Fingers crossed, man. Fingers crossed.

[00:23:00]This could be it.

[00:23:02]If not, we'll do the same thing. All right. You don't have a Samurai alternator. What do you have? That looks like one.

[00:23:09]I mean, we get a couple bolts in there, we'll be fine. The verdict is they can get an alternator here at 9:30 tomorrow morning to this store. So, I say we go see if we can get on top of that hill over there and camp before it gets completely dark. And then we have breakfast. We come down here in the morning, pick up the alternator, and hit the road.

[00:23:28]>> Okay.

[00:23:29]>> Seems like the best course of action.

[00:23:30]The other way is like it's another hour of driving, which we can't do at night on the highway. Yeah. to get to their store. So, um, >> so let's whip this around and get charging.

[00:23:40]>> Yeah. For now, we swap from the we swap the dead battery to charge it >> to the one to charge it and then we put the good battery in the one with the dead alternator.

[00:23:49]>> Okay.

[00:23:50]>> And we get a few more miles.

[00:23:51]>> How far y'all plan on going >> tonight? Uh, we're just going to go find a place to camp somewhere out in the desert and then we'll come back in the morning and pick up the alternator.

[00:24:00]>> There is a mountain lion in the in the area, so be careful of that. So, there's a a pack of wolves also running through the hills. We got dogs and cats. Let's go.

[00:24:11]>> The other thing, too, is to watch out for Mojave Greens and Mojave Reds.

[00:24:16]>> What's that? That sounds like a cigarette brand.

[00:24:19]>> They are rattlesnakes.

[00:24:20]>> Yeah. Yeah. I know. And they're out early this year, aren't they?

[00:24:23]>> Out early.

[00:24:24]>> Well, thanks for talking to us. No problem.

[00:24:26]>> We appreciate the information. Have a good night. Hopefully your alternator works out.

[00:24:29]>> Care, man. No, this it it better work.

[00:24:32]What?

[00:24:32]>> This is a good idea because now we'll have headlights, man.

[00:24:35]>> Oh, yeah. We weren't going to have headlights before, huh?

[00:24:37]>> Yeah.

[00:24:38]>> Yeah. We're going to have headlight.

[00:24:38]We'll be able to see the cougars. We'll be able to see the wolves. We'll be able to see the snakes.

[00:24:42]>> Oh, you'll see the cougars.

[00:24:43]>> Oh, yeah. I had an encounter with one recently.

[00:24:48]This is why I love the road trips, man.

[00:24:50]It's just you get hit a little bit different.

[00:24:56]>> These things are so much fun to drive.

[00:25:02]Here we go.

[00:25:05]What are we drag racing?

[00:25:22]I did not stand much of a chance with my taller tires and aerodynamics of a shoe box. The only reason I ever caught up after this is because Ethan waited for us at the entrance of the off-road place where we are looking for camping tonight.

[00:25:38]You ready for the bumpiest off-roading of your entire life?

[00:25:41]>> Heck yeah, I am. I'm so stuck.

[00:25:48]>> Honestly, it's not as bumpy off-road as I thought considering how bad it hurts when you hit speed bumps.

[00:25:55]But as long as the bumps are random, it's not that bad. And our tires are still completely full. So when we're really off-roading and air down, according to our map, this trail should lead to a pretty steep hill climb. And if we can make it up that hill, we will get the best campsite with the best view, but it's a bigot.

[00:26:18]Oh, you know what? I'm stupid. I didn't lock the hubs.

[00:26:24]I'm good at off-roading.

[00:26:29]>> Yeah, that ought to help. Might make a difference.

[00:26:50]Probably hard to tell here at night, but that's a pretty steep trail. So, he went somewhere and disappeared from you. So, it goes somewhere.

[00:27:00]All right, we're locked.

[00:27:02]Let's see your skills in this beast.

[00:27:19]And this is the part where I'm alone in the desert. This is pretty steep. That concerns me because if this isn't challenging enough, they're going to find something that is. This is a nice campsite, though.

[00:27:33]Was it worth it, Chris?

[00:27:35]>> Yeah.

[00:27:37]He's being sarcastic. He was complaining the whole way here.

[00:27:40]>> That thing just jars your back.

[00:27:43]>> Yeah. Well, this one's even worse, I think. Nothing a night of camping won't fix, right, Chris?

[00:27:50]>> Yeah. All right. Where's my sleeping bag?

[00:27:54]What's on the menu tonight? We got burgers.

[00:28:00]Yeah.

[00:28:07]Good stuff.

[00:28:30]Nothing is blooming right now in Idaho.

[00:28:34]So, first things first, I got to find my allergy medicine and then find the coffee man.

[00:28:41]It's going to be a good day.

[00:28:56]Relax.

[00:28:57]Let your mind be free. You sit there.

[00:29:03]I kind of love We'll take it off today. But I also kind of love the irony of a samurai hood being strapped to the roof of this thing.

[00:29:12]>> Yeah, it's carrying the pieces of its fallen brethren. That really is sick. I mean, it's not it's not fallen anymore, you know? It just fell for a while and had to be picked up.

[00:29:25]>> One thing that I want to do today, just to make sure, I'm sure it's probably fine. I just want to put the pedal to the floor and have you look at the carb and make sure because there's a little bit of play in that throttle cable. I just want to make sure we're getting absolutely everything. You know, >> if you came that close to keeping up with me on the drag race, I'm sure it's fine >> cuz it's like it's a little bit loose.

[00:29:48]>> Yeah. Uh well, I don't know. Go step on it while we're talking about it.

[00:29:51]>> All right.

[00:29:55]>> Yep.

[00:29:57]You can see there's like a >> No, it goes all the way. Certainly a good thought, but here's the thing.

[00:30:02]>> It's just >> old carbureted engines like this.

[00:30:04]>> Uh-huh.

[00:30:06]>> 70% throttle is pretty much the same thing as 100% throttle.

[00:30:14]Croissant sandwich.

[00:30:16]Woo. We got hash brown patty, cheddar, bacon, mini croissant, pickled jalapenos.

[00:30:28]probably going to fall apart.

[00:30:33]>> Yep, that'll do.

[00:30:54]Man, I'm disappointed we didn't see any rattlesnakes.

[00:30:57]I think Edwin didn't really want to see one, but >> I mean I I wouldn't have minded seeing one as long as it was at a little bit of a distance, you know?

[00:31:04]>> Yeah, that's the thing. Seeing one and interacting with one are different.

[00:31:07]>> Precisely.

[00:31:08]>> Yeah, they're not ticklish.

[00:31:10]>> Maybe they are. You know what I mean?

[00:31:13]Maybe that's why they bite you. Maybe they're really ticklish and they're just terrified of being tickled.

[00:31:45]About to get back on the highway and of course the first stop of the auto parts store. Here we go, Chris. Back on the open road in the right direction, right?

[00:31:57]You can't beat that.

[00:32:15]We've only been on the road for less than a minute.

[00:32:22]Already over.

[00:32:28]Got me some fruit.

[00:32:31]>> Wow. We strawberries.

[00:32:33]>> Are you in my seat again?

[00:32:35]>> I am. Okay.

[00:32:37]>> Well, hopefully this is our last push start, huh?

[00:32:39]>> Hopefully.

[00:32:40]>> There might be. There'll be probably one more after we replace the alternator.

[00:32:43]>> That's the power of Crocs right there, man.

[00:32:49]Well, we only need to go like 3 m an hour to get it started. Sweet. We'll see you guys in O'Reilly.

[00:33:02]This is our new friend Jeremy. He's a mechanic here in town and he's watching the live and watching Edwin and Chris go the wrong way.

[00:33:26]Wow.

[00:33:28]Nice.

[00:33:30]Hey, let's go >> with the new alternator. The Metsuki should be good to go. But we noticed the oil was low on the standard Samurai and the filler neck was actually bent. There was oil everywhere. So, we unbent it and hope that this will fix it. Thanks for the recommendation, Jeremy. This looks absolutely perfect. Fantastic.

[00:33:58]>> Well, Chris, it kind of seems like we've entered the middle of nowhere. There's not even farms. This is just like empty.

[00:34:16]So, that wasn't a sprinkler we drove through. Was that the radiator spraying me?

[00:34:20]>> Yep, it was.

[00:34:22]>> Well, I think it's safe to say there's a problem other than just the radiator.

[00:34:25]Wow. Just when I was thinking it couldn't get hotter. You're standing next to a steaming radiator and there it is.

[00:34:34]Wow. Yeah, it's got it's got some sort of issue cuz it's this was full.

[00:34:41]It sucked it all out of there and boiled it off. So, I bet it's just got a really slow leak in the head gasket or something. This is way too hot for us North Idaho boys.

[00:34:49]>> I know. I not a fan. I feel like a rotisserie chicken. We do have free wind coming into the cars. So, that's nice.

[00:35:00]It's kind of like AC, but like before there was AC. You just roll down the window and it cools you down. It's pretty cool.

[00:35:06]>> It's pretty darn hot.

[00:35:08]>> Yeah. I think it's safe to say that there's something else wrong with this engine.

[00:35:15]>> Well, we made another few miles, but we're already getting pretty hot again.

[00:35:19]It's not ideal. We're like 20 miles from a gas station. I think we're starting to get low on water, right?

[00:35:26]>> Chris is always wearing his gloves.

[00:35:28]>> It's the only person I know that has hands like built different like Ethan style.

[00:35:33]>> Everything. Okay.

[00:35:34]>> Yeah, we're just filling up on Kool-Aid.

[00:35:35]>> Okay, cool. We're getting ready to close this place down. So, >> okay. the rest area just if you need to do more or >> there's like restrooms and uh water like that in the rest area just up here on the left hand side.

[00:35:46]>> Perfect. Thank you. Awesome.

[00:35:48]>> Thank you.

[00:35:48]>> Yeah. Yeah. We'll be out of here in a few.

[00:35:54]>> We made it. Well, Chris and Stephen made it. We didn't get the light. Oh, we have to sit here and boil a few minutes longer.

[00:36:03]>> We're just dying. We're just talking about hanging out inside of the gas station, having an ice cream. The no AC challenge has been the hardest part so far.

[00:36:14]>> Yeah. And you know what's even worse?

[00:36:16]>> What?

[00:36:16]>> This thing has no AC and no heat. So like right now we're boiling and by the time we get home we're going to be freezing. Another thing about this car, since the way that it is, there's really no insulation barrier at all between you and the motor. So your feet and your legs are just getting cooked out in there. It's pretty wild.

[00:36:44]That'll do the trick, huh, Chris?

[00:36:47]Oh yeah.

[00:36:48]>> Did I buy the ice for the cooler or did it buy I buy it for me? We'll never know.

[00:36:54]>> We should maybe get a few for us in that Nash, man.

[00:36:57]>> Yeah.

[00:36:59]>> Oh man, it feels nice though.

[00:37:00]>> Stocking up on supplies. So, let's go.

[00:37:03]About to get some ice cream. Chris is on the icy.

[00:37:07]>> I have a present for you. Here, craft it onto my shoulders, please.

[00:37:13]All right, I'll see you in Idaho.

[00:37:15]>> Go grab it.

[00:37:17]>> I've got my shorts and my Spongebob shirt and my Crocs. I'm fully prepared for the coast. I wasn't so prepared for the desert, though. Wow.

[00:37:27]Oh, yeah, man. And it's cooling off.

[00:37:32]Oh, I'm so excited to show you this, Stephen. It's a really special part of the world.

[00:37:40]Here we are, man.

[00:37:43]Highway one.

[00:37:48]That's a nice boulder. I met in a club down in where you drink champagne and the taste is like CocaCola.

[00:38:00]C O L A co.

[00:38:04]She walked up to me and she asked me to dance. I asked her the name in the background voice. She said hello.

[00:38:21]Yeah.

[00:38:29]Heat.

[00:38:41]Heat. Heat.

[00:39:04]Heat. Heat.

[00:39:15]I have at some points today didn't think we were going to make it this far. So, I'm so happy for so many reasons.

[00:39:22]>> I won't lie. Even 5 minutes ago, I didn't think we were going to make it to this point when we showed up and the engine wasn't running at all.

[00:39:29]>> Yeah.

[00:39:31]>> This is starting to backfire. That's new.

[00:39:37]>> If it's backfiring, that means it's still running.

[00:39:39]>> Oh, yeah. No, it's the perfect vehicle for this road because you can drive it at 100% the whole road and not kill yourself.

[00:39:46]>> Stephen was just telling me we technically have to have a permit for a camp stove up here.

[00:39:52]>> Yeah, that's insane.

[00:39:53]>> Look at that sign.

[00:39:54]>> Yeah, >> there's people who aren't going to believe us.

[00:39:59]>> Oh, it might be time to bring up the whirly bird. Are you allowed to whly bird here?

[00:40:07]to be that.

[00:40:15]>> Wow, it is beautiful out here.

[00:40:45]This is a cool road.

[00:40:48]Even just like not counting the part where we're going to go camp up here.

[00:41:07]Heat up here.

[00:41:24]The fact that Edwin can fly a drone while riding in the vehicle on this road is very impressive. I would be puking in like 2 seconds.

[00:41:52]This road really kicks butt, huh? Oh, yeah.

[00:41:56]Dang, >> dude. That is sick. Chris almost killed us only once, so it's all good.

[00:42:05]>> Only once.

[00:42:06]>> Only once. Oh, no. Didn't >> even come close. Jeez.

[00:42:17]They work really well actually for a four-wheel drive lifted. Well, not lifted, but for what it is, this thing is shockingly nimble on pavement. Oh, yeah. If you pull over here, that's perfect.

[00:42:34]Oh, the brakes work.

[00:42:39]Dude, I cannot believe how beautiful this is. I know.

[00:42:44]It's unreal, man. This is the best road.

[00:42:48]I can't imagine how awesome the campsites are going to be.

[00:43:10]It's like these perfect cotton candy skies, man. The ridge line out here is even higher and gnarier than the ridge line we're on.

[00:43:20]So cool.

[00:43:24]And the scenery changes every two seconds. This is amazing.

[00:43:35]I think whatever kind of throttle situation is going on here is getting worse and worse.

[00:43:40]>> Oh boy. Maybe we should just stop soon and figure that out.

[00:43:44]>> Oh, it's fine. Like I said, with the clutch, it doesn't really matter. It's just cruise control.

[00:43:54]>> May not look like much at the moment, but I found us a pretty nice campsite here. Lots of flat ground, a fire pit, and uh the slower. The slow moai, that's what I called it. The rest of the guys in the samurai are finally making it down the down here.

[00:44:13]Oh, I see Steven just decided to run.

[00:44:15]Hello, Steven. That'll work.

[00:44:22]Wow.

[00:44:25]Oh, that was new.

[00:44:28]Yeah, just a little dieseling, you know.

[00:44:30]>> This thing isn't in the best condition.

[00:44:33]>> Nah, but that's what makes it fun.

[00:44:38]>> Just tell me what you've got to say to me. I've been waiting for so long to hear the truth. It comes as no surprise at all. You see, so cut the crap and tell me that we're true. We accounted for everything for tonight, last night, and this morning except coffee.

[00:45:01]>> You know what's really funny is I was losing sleep because I knew we didn't have coffee.

[00:45:07]>> I I I did, too. You know, >> Edwin, what did you say?

[00:45:13]>> What did you say?

[00:45:16]>> I had no idea about the the sensors doing a shot with the shutter closed to merge the image to remove the dead pixels. Oh, yeah.

[00:45:29]>> Cuz that seems like something that something with a physical shutter could do better than something that does not.

[00:45:37]>> That is true.

[00:45:40]So, I don't get how that works.

[00:45:42]>> Luckily, Chris doesn't drink coffee. So, what's worse? No coffee or no sparkling water? It's hard to decide.

[00:45:49]>> It's a tragedy of equal equivalence.

[00:45:52]So, >> I think so.

[00:45:55]I don't know how I'm going to get the day going without a little bit of sparkly.

[00:45:59]They make sparkly coffee. That'd be like the best thing ever.

[00:46:04]>> Oh, I I don't know. That sounds strange.

[00:46:07]>> But clear sparkling water is also one of the best flavors there is.

[00:46:16]>> Now I think I finally understand.

[00:46:21]Is it in your jeans? I don't know.

[00:46:27]>> We got another beautiful night's sleep under the stars. Had some breakfast on the hood of the Nash. Time to get some miles north because uh we've got a LOT OF MILES TO GO. Like probably over a thousand still. Thousandm challenge begins now. Edwin, >> 1,000mi challenge in a basically a Chang Lee, right, Chris?

[00:46:49]>> No.

[00:46:50]>> Living the dream.

[00:46:55]He's losing his voice mad.

[00:47:33]Real pretty with the view of the ocean.

[00:47:35]Yeah, >> it looks like the sky. You can't even tell it's the ocean from this far.

[00:47:40]>> That happens a lot where I stay in Mexico, too. You can't see the difference between the sky and the ocean. The color >> really.

[00:47:47]>> And you look out there and it's just blue from here all the way down, you know.

[00:47:52]>> That's pretty magical.

[00:47:55]>> We're getting closer and closer to sea level.

[00:48:02]>> Wow. Intrusive thoughts, man. This is a bad place for him.

[00:48:07]Oh, I'll hop out and film you.

[00:48:55]Oh, the breeze feels nice. It's already starting to get hot out there when we weren't moving.

[00:49:00]Oh, that's pretty cool.

[00:49:03]It's an open-sided tunnel.

[00:49:06]Oh, hey, is this that section that This must be that section that did a massive landslide a few years ago.

[00:49:27]Losing some water.

[00:49:30]It's coming up in temperature.

[00:49:37]Big service. 6 miles. Nice. I think we're going to make it to the next gas station without hitting the stop. Oh yeah.

[00:49:50]Chris threw on the the heater and it seems to be keeping it cooler for longer. If we had a couple of hoses, we might be able to plum it in line and just double up the radiator. Even if it was just sitting over here, it'd still be doing some radiating and it would have a larger volume so we wouldn't run out as quick.

[00:50:08]>> Yeah, he's staying in the left lane. Oh, >> I think he's just getting pulled over noticing. Oh.

[00:50:16]>> Oh. Yeah, pretty easy.

[00:50:22]>> And if you want to have your own miniature 4x4 adventure, we're giving away we're giving one away right now with a bed full of tools, including an arc droid. And every dollar you spend on grindhardplumbingco.com gets you an entry to win this whole thing full of tools. So go check it out.

[00:50:43]We got lots of sweet new merch.

[00:50:56]We've been to Napa, AutoZone, O'Reilly.

[00:51:00]Got to, you know, catch them all or something. Taste the rainbow. I don't know. One of those things.

[00:51:07]>> Those are your cars out there.

[00:51:08]>> Yeah.

[00:51:09]>> Yeah. That's sun right there. That's >> Thanks.

[00:51:14]Step one. Important when engine is cold remove radiator cap. Engine must be cold before starting process. Start the engine well cold and turn the heater on max. Put the engine on idling. Slowly pour blue devil into the radiator. So the blue devil one that everybody was recommending has a complicated procedure that involves the engine being cold and idling for 50 minutes. So we're going to save that. This one you throw it in and it supposedly works. If it doesn't, >> we can try this tomorrow morning after we've been camping.

[00:51:45]>> Okay, >> so sounds good.

[00:51:47]>> We got the good stuff and the maybe good stuff.

[00:51:50]>> Okay, >> this one has almost no directions.

[00:51:54]Basically, pour it in and then let it idle for a bit.

[00:51:57]>> Wow. It looks like uh they always just say like it's a proprietary blend of things that do stuff and things.

[00:52:04]>> Two scoops of ice cream and then it melts all into the bottom. That's what it looks like. It looks like something you shouldn't put on your cereal.

[00:52:13]>> Yeah. Also that. Yeah.

[00:52:23]>> Here.

[00:52:23]>> Yeah. It was like foaming, bubbly.

[00:52:26]Interesting. That's probably the, you know, >> so maybe that stuff created some air pockets and they need to like top her off, you know.

[00:52:32]>> Are you ready for the noise?

[00:52:45]Such good noise.

[00:52:53]Oh man, this thing sounds good in the tunnel. Yeah, that was nice.

[00:52:58]So, we just put in that new radiator stuff. We probably been driving about 10 minutes and I think it's even worse.

[00:53:07]Oh no. Uhoh. That's a pouring. I got to roll in my window. That's pouring so much. Well, right when we got to the bridge, our water just started pouring everywhere. So, and we just started driving again. So, I don't think that stuff we work that well, Chris.

[00:53:29]I think it plugged up that well. Yeah, I think it made it worse.

[00:53:38]We just went through one tunnel and we switched from like basically desert to rainforest.

[00:53:45]That was wild.

[00:53:52]Wow, though. That message like 30 seconds prior was, "Oh, we made it through. We're not overheating." And then like within 30 seconds, we're overheating, guys. It exploded in the tunnel just and it was like super foamy and bubbly. Whatever is in there is not premium. It made it a lot worse.

[00:54:15]Big fluffy doggo don't care about the road. Big fluffy dog.

[00:54:24]>> Hey, where did we go?

[00:54:27]Days when the rains came.

[00:54:30]down in the hollow game.

[00:54:37]>> We're feeling hot, hot, hot and not in a fun tiki song kind of way. And our engine is about to explode kind of way.

[00:54:44]We've only been driving for a few minutes. And Ethan's map is taking him to probably what is the worst place to break down. And this is suburban San Francisco.

[00:54:55]>> Hey, look, it matches perfectly that we need to park here. Yeah.

[00:55:03]And whatever happened to this is so premium, man. It's just like boom. G. And then it just wrecks the windshield. And then we go up like a super steep hill. It's like the worst place to be overheating is San Francisco. Oh, look. The little tiny samurai ones come in the same plastic as the big daddies.

[00:55:27]We just get to experience the joy of being in a completely falling apart truck overheating in the middle of one of the most population dense areas in our country.

[00:55:38]Huh, Chris?

[00:55:41]>> Living the dream.

[00:55:43]>> We used to sing just like that.

[00:55:58]Oo, another tunnel.

[00:56:04]>> It's really funny cuz normally a sound like this is accompanied with acceleration.

[00:56:09]>> Yeah, in this case it's accompanied with like maybe going a little faster tomorrow.

[00:56:16]>> We made it, boys. Let's go.

[00:56:22]is where we made it out.

[00:56:25]Sometime over complain about it.

[00:56:28]>> We find it to absolute perfection behind the stadium with you.

[00:56:36]My bright girl.

[00:56:43]>> I did not think we were going to make it, but >> we sure did. Didn't we? Yeah.

[00:56:51]La down.

[00:57:09]And there it is. We made it happen before dark.

[00:57:16]>> So hot.

[00:57:18]That makes me really >> I saw you jumping on trying to be beside me to hear the wonderful noises.

[00:57:39]Nice.

[00:57:40]Let's cook it, Chris.

[00:57:43]All right, guys. The Nash sounds like a race car in the tunnel. I know it's not, but look at this.

[00:57:52]>> Do you remember when we used to sing la That is not a crosswalk.

[00:58:10]>> Did you see him just do a jig on it?

[00:58:12]>> Yeah, I did. That was That was uh That was interesting.

[00:58:31]>> Oh, it's got the Power Stroke in it.

[00:58:33]Should be fine. I wish.

[00:58:35]>> Yeah, it looks really good, right?

[00:58:37]>> Yeah.

[00:58:37]>> Yeah. This is the best looking car you've probably ever seen.

[00:58:40]>> So, so wild.

[00:58:42]>> I was referring to the uh the free sauna.

[00:58:45]>> Well, due to the fact that we like to just do everything without a plan whatsoever, there's nowhere to camp within like a 100 miles of here in the direction we need to go.

[00:58:56]So, uh, we're going to spend the night at a hotel, which is still like an hour away to get to a hotel that's even got any space. Normal car.

[00:59:07]Uh-oh. Now, it's running just barely.

[00:59:12]Oh, no. Well, there's our problem right there. The cable felt clean out. Oh, and I'm dripping boiling water on my Crocs.

[00:59:25]Believe it or not, that is not rain on the windshield. It is not raining, folks.

[00:59:33]>> Yep.

[00:59:57]That little tiny one there just punched me in the goodies.

[01:00:02]>> I kid you not.

[01:00:03]>> Happy.

[01:00:04]>> Yeah. Thank you.

[01:00:05]>> Cool. Thank you.

[01:00:07]>> So guys, take care.

[01:00:08]>> He heard us talking about how um slow the water pump is and he was like, "Hey, lightening the load for my trip home."

[01:00:15]Hey, perfect. Oh, >> it sounds like you paid for it.

[01:00:19]>> I did pay for it in different kind of ways.

[01:00:23]>> Did that kid walk around punch you?

[01:00:28]>> Yeah.

[01:00:31]>> You >> just punched you in the balls?

[01:00:33]>> No, in the stomach.

[01:00:34]>> Oh, he got me in the goods.

[01:00:36]>> I'm I'm shorter, I guess.

[01:00:39]He just was like, "Fuck him.

[01:00:46]Oh man.

[01:00:47]>> Places you can't even get punched, man.

[01:00:49]>> Places you can't even get punched below the belt.

[01:01:19]Well, we have had a long day. We will see you guys in the morning with some Blue Devil.

[01:01:24]>> That sounds like something that >> sounds like something you shouldn't Google.

[01:01:28]>> I got the blue demon.

[01:01:30]>> He does. Yeah, >> actually.

[01:01:32]>> Yeah, blue demon welding. Maybe I should put in the blue devil and >> or maybe you just should put take your shirt and stuff it in there.

[01:01:39]>> That would probably work.

[01:01:41]>> Well, it would definitely block it up.

[01:01:43]But I think it would very shortly so >> what are you cold?

[01:01:49]>> Oh yeah, >> you're cold. What the heck?

[01:01:52]>> Yeah.

[01:01:53]>> Only Chris could be cold right now.

[01:01:57]>> I woke up to the wondrous sound of rev banging three cylinders. Let's see what they're up to. Good morning. Good morning.

[01:02:06]How are we looking? Who knows? I put that Blue Devil stuff in there and now it's going to idle for, you know, the hour or whatever it takes us to get all packed up. What you really want for a radiator is to have your inlet and outlet on opposite corners, but this one happens to be pretty much straight up and down. because of how wide it is and the fact that this side is uphill slightly. The coolant only flows mostly through half the radiator.

[01:02:36]>> Yeah.

[01:02:36]>> So, I'm just I mean I don't have anything better to do. So, I'm trying to rearrange it a little bit and get it get it situated so it's a little flatter, which also means more of it'll stick up into the wind. So, yeah. You know. Oh, the irony. Last night couldn't keep it cool. This morning we're struggling to get it to warm up to operating temp.

[01:02:55]Granted, that's cuz we're only idling because that's what the instructions on the stuff said. But for a while there, I just uh we shut it off and I stopped the fan cuz it's got a clutch on it. And I just held the fan uh for like 5 minutes while it idled so the fan couldn't be spinning. That got us up to operating temperature. So now we can, you know, actually hopefully get that stuff to activate. I assume it has to be in a specific temperature range for it to do magic.

[01:03:22]>> What did you find out, Chris?

[01:03:25]Both of them blank at the same time.

[01:03:37]It's been like 15 minutes. The temp hasn't gone up at all. And I don't know if Ethan's driving a little bit slower or if our head gasket being sealed is giving us more horsepower, but we're staying right on the bumper. And we certainly couldn't do that at any other point of the trip so far. So, looks like we're doing 60 uphill, which is not a thing we've been doing before.

[01:04:05]Got a lot of things going our way. Also, our reservoir is a Gatorade bottle now without a hole in it. So, that should help a little bit.

[01:04:15]So, things are looking good for us to make it to the redwoods today. Let's see if we can't make that happen before dark.

[01:04:24]Oh, that's new.

[01:04:27]But our temp is low.

[01:04:30]Yeah, that's weird.

[01:04:38]Clearly something is going wrong.

[01:04:42]>> Yeah, it's like really foamy in the Gatorade Hawk.

[01:04:48]Too bad those windshield wipers we bought didn't fit.

[01:04:53]This trip has been so catastrophic that that isn't a big deal for me. like not even to pull over.

[01:05:23]All right, it has been exactly a half an hour, which is about the max we got yesterday. Absolutely crushing it, man.

[01:05:30]We might just make it to a gas station and only stop because we need gas for no other reason. Who would have thought?

[01:05:38]What a luxury. I mean, we're just at regular operating temperature. We could have gone hours for all we know.

[01:05:45]Whatever it was doing was working. It didn't even go up the slightest little bit until we got Look, it's fine.

[01:05:52]>> Yeah, it's barely over pressure.

[01:05:53]>> Yeah, >> we'll just um pour this back in.

[01:05:56]>> Crushing it live.

[01:05:57]>> Yeah. Blue Devil stuff may work great in the engine, but it's also uh not good on the windshield.

[01:06:04]I mean, it would make sense if this head gasket is sealed now that we'd have a bit more power, right?

[01:06:10]>> No, but if your engine's not overheating, it has more power. We got to get around this guy so it doesn't block our air flow. But there's only passing lanes on the uphill, which isn't exactly ideal, but I think we can do it.

[01:06:24]Our first overtake for today. We drove all day yesterday and got five. Maybe I should only count four.

[01:06:33]But this one's a big deal because we need clean air for our radiator.

[01:06:39]We're doing it slowly, man. Doing it.

[01:06:45]Yes.

[01:07:05]She got a little toasty. This hill is so tall, dude. This is the tallest hill we've hit on this trip so far.

[01:07:11]>> Yeah.

[01:07:12]>> Yeah. It got to the top line.

[01:07:16]>> You'll notice it didn't spew all over your windshield as much. Yes, I did notice that.

[01:07:21]>> I uh I just deleted the overflow tank for now cuz all it was doing is overflowing into your windshield. Didn't really change much. Huh.

[01:07:31]Not yet. There's still a chance it'll work over time, but yeah, so far I wouldn't say it's changed much. I think that the change, if any, could be attributed to the radiator being more level and yeah, bled and or easier to bleed, rather. All right. Well, engine's topped up. Hit the road. See how long it lasts.

[01:07:56]Oh, wow. He's really peeling out of here.

[01:08:05]All right, we made it to the downhill.

[01:08:07]Hopefully it's down for a while because the temp is already going up.

[01:08:24]At this point, it's quite obvious that what we have is a head gasket or other, you know, head or block failure where >> Yeah.

[01:08:32]>> coolant is going out the exhaust. You can even smell it behind this thing.

[01:08:36]Sometimes you can smell that that red or blue demon stuff cooking.

[01:08:40]>> Ever since we put the blue demon in and you put this down, the people behind me stay like super far away behind me cuz they're probably just getting sprayed by blue demon.

[01:08:50]>> Yeah, >> we kept up this pattern for a while.

[01:08:58]Drive for 20 minutes, pull over, fill up with water, try something new, like turning on the heater, drive for 20 more minutes, pull over, overheating. Maybe let's leave the vent on the radiator cap open. Overall, we didn't learn anything, but eventually we made it to the redwoods. Smell them.

[01:09:17]>> Yeah, you're right, Chris. You can smell them. You can smell them before you see them. Yeah.

[01:09:25]>> Well, guys, it's official.

[01:09:31]The big ones, huh? I've had an obsession with big trees for as long as I've been a conscious human for good reason.

[01:09:50]Far from feeling lost with me.

[01:09:55]I'll push you back towards Atlantic.

[01:10:01]Let go down for love and love is free.

[01:10:05]Woo!

[01:10:07]Stick with me and I will guarantee.

[01:10:11]>> Now that is a tree.

[01:10:16]Holy smokes. Age 3,000 years old. 21 ft diameter, 64 ft circumference, and it used to be a lot taller before she lost her top. Wa! It's hollow.

[01:10:41]We are a little bit bigger than a regular Nash. Yeah. But a lot bit smaller than the average car going through here.

[01:10:51]It's a further sun, the gun for love.

[01:10:56]It's a pulsing shove.

[01:11:02]It's a sharpest cry, but here goes white with a desperate light.

[01:11:13]>> Yep.

[01:11:13]>> Uh, when was the last time you drove a manual, Stephen?

[01:11:15]>> The fire truck, actually. Well, this should be easier to drive than that.

[01:11:21]>> Nice.

[01:11:21]>> Oh, yeah. I really like this thing already.

[01:11:28]>> I'll have to take Alyssa on a date in this.

[01:11:30]>> Oh, yeah. It's the ultimate jade mobile.

[01:11:33]So romantic.

[01:11:35]>> Oh, yes. How's the How's the famous Reinhardt saying go? It'd be really romantic if I wasn't in here with you.

[01:11:41]>> Yeah, something like that.

[01:11:54]Not only is this Steven's first time driving the dash, it's also my first time riding passenger in it. This thing has a shocking amount of leg room.

[01:12:02]>> It's super fun. This is my favorite thing Reinhardt has ever got. I think I'm going to say that with 100% certainty. Nice.

[01:12:10]>> I think this is really shaking up to be our best road trip yet.

[01:12:20]We picked a restaurant that's literally the same exact color scheme as the car.

[01:12:26]How awesome is that?

[01:12:27]>> Oh, yeah. I think I definitely know what this restaurant was inspired by. It even has the texture.

[01:12:35]>> What?

[01:12:36]>> It does the same texture.

[01:12:37]>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. I hadn't knew that.

[01:12:41]>> You guys get hot?

[01:12:42]>> No. We were crushing. We could have kept going.

[01:12:53]Once again, due to having to refill the radiator every 5 minutes, it does take time to go places. We have not made it out of California, which means there's no camping available whatsoever unless you plan 6 months ahead. We don't want to miss the Redwoods, the actual Redwood National Forest or National Park. We're going to get an Airbnb just outside the redwoods. And then in the morning, we'll get to see the redwoods, get some scenic shots, and then head up the coast and hopefully make it to some sand dunes and go have some fun.

[01:13:43]I think my truck likes cold air as much as I like fish. Man, she just rips. Not a care in the world.

[01:13:51]Didn't even go up a little bit.

[01:13:53]>> I mean, that was 40 some miles without even sort of overheating. What I'm most looking forward to is doing something that we need to air down for.

[01:14:02]>> Yes, we have. The sand dunes are going to be that 100%.

[01:14:05]>> Exactly.

[01:14:06]>> Something like that. 10 years old. We don't actually know.

[01:14:08]>> Like they're just ripping, dude.

[01:14:10]>> Yeah. I mean, it helps that it doesn't weigh much.

[01:14:13]>> Yeah.

[01:14:15]>> I guess that is a big difference compared to a lot of other things that we've done.

[01:14:19]>> Oh, man. It's just like a tragedy. We're not camping in a hammock right now on the coast. That's where I was at in my head. But camping in the dunes tomorrow sounds awesome. Yep.

[01:14:37]We went from driving two of the slowest, loudest vehicles on earth to just dead silence and a xylophone. It's amazing.

[01:14:58]It is first light at the Airbnb. I'm loading up the truck and today is going to be the best day of the trip so far.

[01:15:13]>> Yes, you almost have to take these seriously. Oh, not just almost, man.

[01:15:19]Those ones that said 25, I was going 20 last night.

[01:15:23]This thing is a tippy tipper. I got to say, everyone that's like been at a gas station like that's sick, man. I used to uh I rolled my samurai when I was a teenager.

[01:15:43]Baby, I can't let you go. I put my world around you. I need you so you don't need me. You need Baby, I just can't make you >> I really like big trees.

[01:16:59]>> I need you baby.

[01:17:10]Now that I found you, I can't let you go. I put my world around you. I need you so baby.

[01:17:19]You don't need me. You don't need somebody to give me like those waves, man. Back in the ocean. Ah, >> I just can't let you know around you. I can't let you go.

[01:17:51]I need you.

[01:17:54]>> We have such a strong headwind right now. I'm in third gear downhill.

[01:18:01]It's like I'm driving a sailboat with a trolling motor, man. Holy smokes, man.

[01:18:07]What is it? 63 horsepower.

[01:18:11]63 horsepower is not as much as it sounds. Like in a motorcycle it's like okay in a samurai sailboat.

[01:18:22]Not okay.

[01:18:24]This is great. But we're stopping for gas because we can, not because we need it and not cuz we overheated. And not only that, we need 13 more miles and we've gone 100 miles without overheating for the first time since we started.

[01:18:44]Oh, she said her mom had one.

[01:18:50]>> I don't know if we ever did that acknowledging this, but we made it to Oregon. Yeah, we're finally out of California after 5 and 1/2 days of driving, I think. I mean, California is beautiful, but uh this is more my my uh my type of scenery. Trees and rocks and a little bit of chilliness.

[01:19:20]Are you ready to get built different on crustations? Yeah, especially because I already have fish power just from the adrenaline of getting blown around the highway. Can't say I've ever had clam chowder and fish tacos in the same meal before, but man, it goes hard.

[01:19:34]>> I'm starting to think we live too far away from the ocean, boys.

[01:19:37]>> What would you rate it, Chris?

[01:19:40]>> Huh?

[01:19:40]>> What would you rate it out of 10?

[01:19:43]>> Oh, probably a 12.

[01:19:44]>> 12. Nice.

[01:19:45]>> Y right ahead.

[01:19:49]>> Yeah, perfect. Let's do that. I'll see if I can pick up some uh heater hose for this thing.

[01:19:54]>> Never miss an O'Reilly, man. If you see one, might as well stop. Our alternator seems to have stopped working again.

[01:20:00]>> Really seems that way at the moment.

[01:20:04]>> Yeah. 8.8 volts. That's not what you want.

[01:20:09]>> Not really. Well, maybe maybe a wire just came undone or something. I'll take a look. You want me to turn it off? You want to look?

[01:20:16]>> No, I want to look. Oh, yeah. The wire just came off. Perfect. The air filter came off, too. I see that. Yeah.

[01:20:23]>> Yeah. Um that would be why the alternator stopped working.

[01:20:26]>> Oh, that that's supposed to be attached.

[01:20:30]>> This is an awesome car.

[01:20:31]>> Yeah, it's super fun. Um we've been driving it all the way from Southern California. Yeah, we're having a a great time. Although, this is rattled loose.

[01:20:43]Did it lose the bolts? It did, but I think they're just 6 mm bolts. We might have a couple spares in the glove box.

[01:20:50]>> Let's save journeys.

[01:20:51]>> Yeah. Thank you.

[01:20:52]>> Thank you.

[01:20:52]>> We've had the hood open on this one a lot less than we've had the hood open on this one.

[01:21:01]>> You better believe it. Look what I just found in the glove box.

[01:21:06]A hot rod.

[01:21:07]>> But it's a Nash.

[01:21:09]>> That's what we should do to ours.

[01:21:11]>> Yeah. I think ours needs a big blower like this.

[01:21:16]and a alternator apparently even though we just put one in.

[01:21:20]>> The wire the wire just popped off.

[01:21:22]>> Okay.

[01:21:22]>> A little longer than the spares I had in the uh >> glove box.

[01:21:27]>> A bolt is a bolt and I don't need those anymore. Not not until we get home at least.

[01:21:33]Just this morning we replaced the wipers on the uh Samurai and I was pulling them apart to swap stuff around and this is one of the little spring steels that's in there and I didn't throw it away. I threw it in the trunk and I was like, "Oh, that you I don't need a remote. No, that might come in handy on the road.

[01:21:48]Well, now I have to depin the wires from the alternator plug for this thing cuz this one broke off right there.

[01:21:57]Depinning tool.

[01:22:02]>> Is it going to do it?

[01:22:03]>> Yep.

[01:22:04]>> Hey That color goes really good with this color.

[01:22:22]>> It does. I wasn't ready for that light turning green. I was looking at the car and then I was like, "Oh no."

[01:22:35]Oh, he was just going on about the dunes and he was like, "Man, how long have we been talking about hitting up the real dunes, like the big ones?" Uh, and never done it and now the first time we're doing it is in a Nash.

[01:22:49]Who would have expected?

[01:23:05]>> Dude, how about our timing on this?

[01:23:07]We're going to be out there at sunset.

[01:23:09]>> Pretty great, right?

[01:23:11]>> You know what I think?

[01:23:14]I think the next business venture I want to take on is selling $2 flags at a gas station in an area like this for 20 bucks.

[01:23:23]>> It was $20 for that flag.

[01:23:25]>> Yeah.

[01:23:26]>> Oh my.

[01:23:27]>> It's the kind of business I want to get into, man.

[01:23:35]Is this our first time airing down on this trip? It sure is. What are you guys airing down to?

[01:23:42]Uh, I think we're just winging it.

[01:23:48]I figure we'll start at 15 PSI and that way if we get stuck, we got a ways to go down. Cuz if you start at like 5 PSI and then get stuck, you're kind of screwed.

[01:24:06]Yeah. Like nothing, man. Let's see how my little truck does. Here we go.

[01:24:25]This thing can do anything.

[01:24:28]That is very impressive.

[01:24:30]It really is.

[01:24:35]Now that we're in Oregon, we are having our pick of the pack. We're going from campsite to campsite, deciding which one we want, which is nice.

[01:24:54]I think campsite 11 might not be all that dry.

[01:25:01]>> Welcome to camp number eight, guys.

[01:25:04]Look at >> this little track around here.

[01:25:05]>> I know.

[01:25:14]Oh, this show complexity when the Yeah.

[01:25:30]Heat.

[01:25:43]Someone jump until you throw a samurai on the beach.

[01:26:01]You want to drive this thing?

[01:26:10]I would go out tonight, but I haven't got the stitch to That's way too much fun.

[01:26:38]>> Ethan has no interest in jumping in the ocean, but that's been a big priority for you.

[01:26:42]>> Fish. Fish are in the ocean.

[01:26:45]>> All right, Edwin, I'll watch you jump in. I'm not getting salty tonight, though. I'm sandy enough.

[01:26:51]>> We're going where the fish are. return your patience. Party time places you can't even walk.

[01:27:00]>> It's true fluence.

[01:27:11]>> I just remembered it's parked. Holy.

[01:27:15]That's where the fish are.

[01:27:17]I'm kind of cold.

[01:27:21]>> You know what I say? What?

[01:27:24]>> Oh my god, YOU WENT I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO LIKE wade in.

[01:27:27]>> No, I went swimming.

[01:27:28]>> You're a psychopath.

[01:27:30]>> I think we parked the samurai a little bit away from camp. I walk in soaking wet and tell Chris I got it stuck in the ocean. He'll 100% believe me.

[01:27:42]>> You ride with us and then we're going to tell him we need his help to get this one out.

[01:27:47]>> Yes. Yep. Well, we're ready to party.

[01:27:49]We'll follow you.

[01:27:50]>> All right. to the party place. Being in the ocean wasn't that cold, but that's a long run back.

[01:27:57]>> So bad tonight you go to sleep. You're going to be so sticky, salty, and crusty.

[01:28:04]>> Those are three adjectives that will describe me in the morning.

[01:28:09]Sticky, salty, crusty, and full of fish power and full of regret. I just got my seatelt cuz if there's one thing I know about a Chang Lee man driving, he could find a tree stump out here in the ocean.

[01:28:22]All right, we're about to drag race two samuris. Are you guys ready?

[01:28:28]3 2 1 go.

[01:28:50]How's your head doing?

[01:29:23]Well, I think we found a way in which this one outshines that one. It kind of went up here no problem.

[01:29:50]Well, should we see if we can make it to the top of that dune over there?

[01:29:52]>> Yes, sir.

[01:29:56]>> I felt cold.

[01:30:07]and frozen meories through the cracks they reached with waves they brought.

[01:30:27]>> You should do that again. I'm dead.

[01:30:32]Heat.

[01:30:51]Heat.

[01:31:02]No captain to oversee, no rest to no song, no speech. They will pull into the camp. You'll be in the back of there and we're going to say, "Chris, you got to come help us pull it out." Yep.

[01:31:32]I can't believe you got us stuck in the ocean, Edwin.

[01:31:35]>> I can't believe it.

[01:31:37]>> Chris is going to be so mad, dude.

[01:31:39]>> I wanted to go where the fish are.

[01:31:43]It >> is hilarious how believable that is.

[01:31:46]>> Oh, thank goodness there's a fire.

[01:31:50]Woo! Well, Chris, you feeling strong?

[01:31:57]Oh, you have no idea how cold I am, Chris.

[01:32:02]>> I do. Where is it? In the tide. I wanted to go where the fishes are and I got a little bit too much in the ocean, I think. And it's not coming out. We might need a hand.

[01:32:20]beeping at me.

[01:32:22]>> Okay, tell me the story.

[01:32:26]>> Well, he drove into the ocean and a big wave must have brought up some sand or something. The tides also coming in. So, >> and the tow strap didn't work. How How uh are the axles on the sand?

[01:32:42]>> Uh one of them is >> front or back. the rare one. He was backing into the ocean.

[01:32:50]>> It's where the fishes are.

[01:32:54]>> Huh? You're not saying anything.

[01:33:00]>> Trying to get this stupid mirror clean so I can >> We're just joking. Chris, >> I'm not saying anything because I can't keep a straight face.

[01:33:11]>> Ethan's too honest.

[01:33:14]I played a lot of poker.

[01:33:17]>> He totally believed it. This is just around the corner, huh?

[01:33:20]>> Yeah.

[01:33:21]>> How'd you get all wet?

[01:33:22]>> It went >> Oh, I did go swimming.

[01:33:24]>> Foggy.

[01:33:26]>> Why are you wet, ETHAN?

[01:33:27]>> BECAUSE SOMEBODY DECIDED TO JUMP in the ocean and then sit in that.

[01:33:31]>> All right. Now, >> why I really wanted to drive this one back. You know, it didn't even occur to me.

[01:33:47]that truth.

[01:33:50]The best I had was a a shirt that I've already worn two days on this trip.

[01:33:58]>> We didn't buy plates or forks >> or knives. Look at that.

[01:34:02]>> So, caveman style steaks. Oh, this is the best day I've ever had.

[01:34:09]little sweetheart. She would turn on the cast iron skillet. She throw that steak down on there. She count to 10, turn it over, count to 10, and eat it.

[01:34:22]>> All right. You ready to hear what we did last night?

[01:34:24]>> I am ready. I'm in bed. I'm cozy. I'm ready to listen to a weird song.

[01:34:32]>> All right. You heard the original sample of the instrument, >> right?

[01:34:43]So that's it. Just with some reverb, >> right?

[01:34:46]>> Not much. We ended up with this.

[01:34:58]>> You want to go cryptid hunting?

[01:34:59]>> Nope. I'm going to bed.

[01:35:03]>> Bigfoot is said to inhabit the Pacific Northwest. like specifically. See, the thing is, Edwin, we're not going to find Bigfoot by any of these like roads and stuff.

[01:35:12]>> Mhm.

[01:35:13]>> So, we'd have to go like in here.

[01:35:16]>> Okay. I was kind of bluffing, man. Now I'm getting kind of scared.

[01:35:20]>> Oh, really?

[01:35:22]>> Aren't sometimes they like up high? Like they're not always just like walking around like in the movies.

[01:35:44]I'm so covered in salt and sand.

[01:35:48]It's been a while since I went in the ocean without showering after.

[01:35:53]I woke up to this really, really weird sound in the middle of the night. And now I realize that it was the sound of Steven's hammock ripping.

[01:36:05]But what's crazy is he just committed to sleeping on the ground after that. He must have been sleeping on the ground for hours now.

[01:36:22]What the heck is that? One of the more built different things you've ever seen. Were you aware of that before you went to sleep? Did that happen? Well, >> no, that happened in the middle of the night and I I heard it and I was like, "Dude, did your hammock just rip and you fell?" And he was like, "I think so."

[01:36:41]And then he just went back to sleep.

[01:36:49]>> Wow.

[01:36:51]We have other equipment here, including a tent. No. All I know is Steven might need a little extra coffee this morning.

[01:36:59]Uh, >> yep. Mine.

[01:37:02]>> Turns out we couldn't find Bigfoot last night.

[01:37:06]Imagine my surprise.

[01:37:08]I am so shocked.

[01:37:14]I'm thinking Ethan got cold yesterday cuz it looks like he's building a heater.

[01:37:20]Yesterday was actually just about right.

[01:37:21]I was only a tiny bit chilly, but today it's going to get a lot colder. I drained out most of the coolant so I can hook up the heater lines.

[01:37:44]>> You know what's really bad about this?

[01:37:46]You know how I kind of have my head cradled up in this part?

[01:37:49]>> Yeah.

[01:37:49]>> That's not how I hit the ground. I came out of it from the other direction. Oh no.

[01:37:56]A crusty samurai did not want to start cold, but eventually we got it running and we took one more pass by the ocean before heading inland.

[01:38:26]I just want to stay in the sun where I find I know it's hard sometimes. Pieces of peace in the sun's peace of mind. I know it's hard sometimes. Yeah, I think about the end just way too much. But it's fun to fantasize all my enemies who wouldn't wish who I was.

[01:38:51]Chris just went uh dumpster diving here.

[01:38:55]>> Took out one of those big black trash bags. I think I might be responsible for getting one of these seats a little bit wet. I mean, that's pretty effective.

[01:39:16]>> I die for you. That's easy to say. We have a list of people that we would take. A bullet for them, a bullet for you, a bullet for everybody in this room.

[01:39:23]>> If they would have gone to where the fish are with me last night and got built different on fish, >> I think it might be a little different right now.

[01:39:36]>> Not exactly liking this gaining 4,000 ft of elevation today.

[01:39:43]Oh woah woah. I'm boring so I'm taking my time on my ride.

[01:39:50]Oh, I'm boring so I'm taking my time on my ride.

[01:40:00]Taking my time on my ride.

[01:40:04]This is the biggest one they make.

[01:40:08]>> I've been thinking too much.

[01:40:11]I've been thinking too much.

[01:40:14]>> Oh yeah. Now we're out here.

[01:40:18]>> I've been thinking too much. Help me.

[01:40:21]I've been thinking too much. I've been thinking too much. I've been thinking too much. Help me.

[01:40:32]>> One last little bit of scenic back roads before we before the sun sets.

[01:40:40]All right.

[01:40:43]I'm holding take your time.

[01:40:51]Take your time.

[01:41:03]I'm taking my time.

[01:41:10]I'm taking my time.

[01:41:14]I've been thinking too much.

[01:41:20]I've been thinking too much.

[01:41:24]Pretty good. Quite nice. There's no tunnels, but it's really nice. too much.

[01:41:32]>> I got to say this is just about all right.

[01:41:40]>> His eyes are covered.

[01:41:42]>> Hello.

[01:41:43]>> Hello.

[01:41:44]>> All right, we'll go closer. I smell it.

[01:41:47]>> This man eats more popcorn than any water.

[01:41:51]>> It's nice and good.

[01:41:52]>> He's never going to drive by this place again, >> right?

[01:41:57]Man, >> you're the best.

[01:42:02]>> And you haven't even had the drink yet, Chris.

[01:42:04]>> No, I haven't.

[01:42:06]I got my popcorn. There you go.

[01:42:10]This is the whole house.

[01:42:13]>> What kind of discovery did you just make?

[01:42:16]>> Well, one, it's two separate rooms, but more importantly, look, there's a couch for Chris to sleep on.

[01:42:22]>> Oh, wow.

[01:42:24]I didn't even see that.

[01:42:25]>> Last night on our way to this hotel, we think that we got down to three cylinders and this here Samurai. And today we have the most amount of miles that we need to do in any day so far.

[01:42:40]But technically, it is possible that we make it home today. Uh, I mean, my GPS says I'll make it home by 1:46 p.m.

[01:42:49]That's a lot of room for error to make it home today. But we do have a lot of room for errors, if you know what I mean.

[01:43:01]>> Oh, yeah.

[01:43:03]>> Hey, look at that telephone bow ahead of you and tell me if that meter box is legal height.

[01:43:09]>> Yeah, it's about 20 ft up.

[01:43:12]>> Yeah.

[01:43:23]been on the road for a handful of minutes. I not sure if this is cool or if it's from the sky, but I have to assume it's it's from the coolant. Chris thinks the sand dunes rallying took a little bit of our clutch off, so nice.

[01:43:45]We've got oil going out the front and back of the engine.

[01:43:47]>> How bad is this oil leak? Main >> frontage seal. Yeah, if it gets any any worse, we can just put a pan under there and catch it and reuse it.

[01:43:59]If the samurai back there was in between two semiis, it'd be a semi- samurai sandwich.

[01:44:12]Well, Ethan asked me for this when I went into the gas station, so I figured it's not the best of signs. It does seem to have sprung a fresh oil leak. I'm not quite sure where it's coming from.

[01:44:23]There's oil scattered about the front of the engine.

[01:44:27]That's fine. We don't care. We'll just top it off for the next day.

[01:44:43]Yeah, that brought it up to like just over the empty mark.

[01:44:48]Fill up the oil, fill up the water, and check the gas.

[01:44:54]>> It took a quart and it's still about half a quart low, probably.

[01:44:57]>> Really?

[01:44:58]>> Yeah.

[01:45:08]It is heat.

[01:45:37]Yeah, it kind of acted like it just ran out of fuel there.

[01:45:42]Yeah.

[01:45:50]All right, we shut it off.

[01:45:57]Ain't got no fuels coming into the engines.

[01:46:03]>> Suspicious timing after just filling up, right? I was running just fine before the gas station.

[01:46:10]>> Yep. Very suspicious.

[01:46:17]>> Ethan's going to fiddle with the Nash.

[01:46:19]Chris and I are on a recon mission to get an electric fuel pump. That pump was fairly new.

[01:46:26]>> Yeah.

[01:46:28]What do you think happened?

[01:46:30]>> Uh, well, I hate to say it, but might be Ethan's lead foot.

[01:46:49]This might be the most time spent in auto parts store of any road trip yet.

[01:46:57]Uh Chris and Edwin went to the auto parts store, which is concerning in and of itself. Anyway, uh they're going to pick up just literally any electric fuel pump and we'll just plum that in line and bypass the mechanical fuel pump and that should get us back on the road.

[01:47:18]Thank you. Thank you. Really appreciate you.

[01:47:22]>> I bought the store out. The guy working there said he's never even seen them before.

[01:47:27]>> Really?

[01:47:27]>> Yeah. Let's go surprise Chris with these. I'll wait till he's not running the key.

[01:47:32]>> He is going to be so psyched.

[01:47:38]>> Look at that.

[01:47:40]>> They only had two boxes, Chris.

[01:47:44]here while you were gone.

[01:47:46]>> Cheers to >> getting it home today. Maybe.

[01:47:48]>> Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Cheers.

[01:47:52]>> We all got our favorite things.

[01:48:02]>> Yeah, that's just like the rubber around the edge there. It's where um from us having it such low PSI, it just kind of wore a little bit off of there. It's not like it's not anything structural.

[01:48:22]I'm >> telling you, Chris, >> that's going to be me by the end of next year in an S2000.

[01:48:29]>> What?

[01:48:30]>> I got one more present for you. Uhoh. Oh no.

[01:48:37]>> I'm really going to try to get you to wear it, too.

[01:48:41]It's donuts.

[01:48:46]>> It's donuts. Chris, >> look. I'm taking off the tag. We can't return it.

[01:48:58]>> That one. That's a little too pink for me.

[01:49:01]>> I know. That's what I That's what I told the girl in there. She's like, "I love this hat." I'm like, "Well, my friend loves donuts, but he doesn't like frilly colors."

[01:49:11]You look good.

[01:49:12]>> No, I don't, Edwin. No, I don't.

[01:49:15]>> You look good, Chris.

[01:49:16]>> Look in the mirror, Chris.

[01:49:18]>> Look in the mirror.

[01:49:20]>> Oh, no.

[01:49:25]>> It didn't last, did it?

[01:49:30]We are getting dangerously close to home, but talking Chris into wearing this hat is not our biggest problem. We are leaking more and more oil. We are not out of the woods yet. It's hot, huh?

[01:49:44]It's hot. It's a little hot.

[01:49:52]We have exactly 100 miles left to home.

[01:49:56]That means only one more 100 mile challenge today. We've already done two and a half.

[01:50:12]Well, I just looked it up and there's a nice flight to Palm Springs. We can go back to uh collect some more of those nice vehicles we saw, Ethan.

[01:50:20]>> Oh, yes. Yes. When we were on the home stretch, Ethan and I were talking about how it's kind of weird to drive to the airport to pick up a vehicle.

[01:50:27]>> I know it is weird.

[01:50:30]I would have just kept going. I wouldn't have thought of it until I got home, realized my truck wasn't in the driveway, and then like, >> "Dang it."

[01:50:35]>> I didn't remember that until today.

[01:50:37]>> Yeah.

[01:50:40]>> Final stretch. Slightly less than 100 mile challenge left.

[01:50:44]>> All right, let's do it. Hey, welcome to Idaho.

[01:50:48]>> I can't get the camera to focus. Oh. Uh, that's got it at the tail end.

[01:50:53]>> That's where we live.

[01:50:55]>> California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho.

[01:50:58]>> And today we've been in three of those states.

[01:51:01]>> That's pretty good for a little truck we bought at a gas station late at night, not realizing that we'd need to pull over every 20 minutes.

[01:51:12]>> Yeah, I can feel it shaking back and forth now. Yeah, it's pretty incredible how much this motor moves and still stays attached somehow. I'm not entirely sure what's even holding it on at this point.

[01:51:25]>> Oh boy.

[01:51:27]This is what I was saying, dude. I don't think I'm going to get excited about getting home until I am in my driveway, but we're definitely getting hot.

[01:51:38]>> So, Ed and I just switched trucks so we can get like one last shot of the other two. Holy smokes, >> dude.

[01:51:48]It's huge. And the brakes work.

[01:51:53]>> And this heated seat is too much, man.

[01:51:55]We can't be having any of that going on.

[01:51:58]>> So fast.

[01:52:02]Oh, wow. This is weird. I feel like I'm in the future.

[01:52:23]Fish on.

[01:52:25]No, but it looks a little different.

[01:52:35]So, when you're coming into Sandp Point, you've got a two-mile bridge that's really long, really beautiful, you see our beautiful lake that we live by, and it's always kind of the symbol of your home. Every time you get back from a late flight or a Grinhard trip, you cross this bridge and it's like you're home. So, this is the finish line. We're going to trundle through all together and it's just pretty exciting. It feels good. We pulled it off. Not only that, we pulled it off before dark, which is just crazy.

[01:53:30]It feels so good, man. It does feel good. Look at the lake.

[01:53:35]We had a really beautiful drive, but man, we're lucky to live where we live.

[01:53:43]It always feels special, but it feels extra special this time.

[01:53:48]It really does.

[01:54:02]It says clutch forest.

[01:54:05]>> It says clutch for.

[01:54:06]>> Yeah, I think it says clutch.

[01:54:08]>> Ironically, I started smelling the clutch just right about there, too.

[01:54:13]>> Oh man, >> that's awesome. We made it, man.

[01:54:18]>> Well, guys, bring it in.

[01:54:20]>> That was a good trip.

[01:54:24]Oh, it's about to go down.

[01:54:27]Oh no, he stalled it.

[01:54:35]>> Yeah, it's got a blower on it.

[01:54:40]>> I know. That thing broke traction easy, huh?

[01:54:45]>> We could move that camera up.

[01:54:47]>> Yeah, I figured it would be good to show the engine shaking around for a little bit and then we could change it up. Oh, that's deep.

[01:54:54]>> Wa. I heard you were browsing marketplace.

[01:54:58]>> Yeah, I found uh I found a couple things. One, I found a Honda Civic radiator that's the right size and shape, but it's like a two row or three row racing radiator. Oh, I like it.

[01:55:12]>> Off-road Miata for 3500 bucks.

[01:55:16]>> Am I allowed to have a Medel flavored sparkling water on the chat?

[01:55:21]If we're not, I don't want to be part of IT ANYMORE. I WANT off this ride.

[01:55:35]>> You could cook a duck on this pavement.

[01:55:37]>> Dude, my crocs are melting, man.

[01:55:43]>> Careful, Chris. Careful. Holy gross.

[01:55:47]Can't sleep. Slow down.

[01:55:58]Just out here getting bangers.

[01:56:00]>> Just out here getting bangers, man. And our truck is starting to sound very backfiry for some reason, even at idle.

[01:56:08]>> So, that's fun.

[01:56:09]>> Yeah, it's a new problem. We're good.

[01:56:15]>> Well, I gave her the beans and she did not want to give me the beans.

[01:56:20]Maybe we're good.

[01:56:24]>> At least the next build if it's going to keep going that says spray on our Yeah, we'll have that. Hey, look. There's already a tow truck here. Maybe they'll do two for one.

[01:56:38]Always come prepared, boys.

[01:56:42]It might not be good for welding, but that is great for waterfalls.

[01:57:04]fix my stash, man.

[01:57:06]>> You always got to fix the stash when you're with a Nash.

[01:57:13]I'm coming.

[01:57:17]I'm coming.

[01:57:19]Come on, baby.

[01:57:32]Go, go. Oh, we're close. We're close.

[01:57:35]>> We're finally tracking. Yeah, >> man. This is awesome.

[01:57:51]>> Oh, wow.

[01:57:57]>> Oh, thanks.

[01:58:05]Come on, baby. Let's go.

[01:58:09]Let's go.

[01:58:11]>> Yeah.

[01:58:19]Ooh.

[01:58:21]>> We all have our injections.

[01:58:23]>> Nothing hits like clear sparkling water.

[01:58:25]>> Nothing hits like bottle caps.

[01:58:33]It's hot.

[01:58:35]>> Are you guys there? Can you hear me?

[01:58:40]>> Hello, chat.

[01:58:44]>> Anybody out there?

[01:58:47]>> Hi, Chris. Drive it like you stole it.

[01:58:51]>> Yeah, right. That's not me. That's Ethan.

[01:58:54]I drive it like it'll get me home.

[01:58:56]That's what I drive it like. But, you know, it's a kind of a risky game to play, but you can play it if you want to roll the dice. There's a reverse bat to get out.

[01:59:13]I'm a seasoned professional, but let me tell you what, my first rodeo, I definitely face planted the ground on that reverse bat maneuver.

[01:59:28]You spin me right round, baby. Right round.

[01:59:33]Hey. Hey.

[01:59:39]Awesome.

[01:59:42]>> Good night, Chris.

[01:59:43]>> Good night.

[01:59:44]>> He said I can play whatever.

[01:59:45]>> Night, Chris.

[01:59:55]I'm just kidding, Chris. I'll be calm now.

[01:59:58]>> Play it. I like that.

[02:00:00]>> Oh, she'll put me to sleep. I like it.

[02:00:03]>> Oh, heck yeah.

[02:00:04]>> That's a pretty lit song for a lullaby, but it is Chris we're talking about.

[02:00:08]Yep. It's crazy. We're actually live streaming the entire trip.
