Does this hurt the car

Finally, a tool to make that heater core replacement easier.
It's amazing how small those have gotten. I remember the first set ever put into production by Hurst, the jaws were 36" long titanium arms and the body was the size of a 5 gallon bucket and weighed about 75 lbs before filled with oil. To do that maneuver we had to chain the dash to the front frame and pull the dash up with a chain stretched over the hood. You'd never have gotten that tool in that space.
@@BrookNBones they definitely have came a long way. They weigh about 70 lbs per tool, but are definitely more compact
Not practical with patients in the car!

@@keysautorepair7905 wish they were in the auto extrication game!
This reminds me. Your sister called me up again. 😂
That’s one of the features i appreciate most in crash testing, the improved attention to how much the foot well is crushed. Surviving the crash is great but I’ve grown a bit attached to my legs.
@@dannydethanos6994 the newer the vehicle the more they are focusing on safety especially what happens when the vehicle is involved in a wreck.
Great video. Figuring out what to pack for camping and getting it on/in your vehicle definitely has it’s challenges. I am still trying to dial in my camping setup, but I have a 6’4” bed and a crew cab so a lot more space than with your setup. Kudos to getting what you needed for camping on your rig. Hopefully I will get out your direction sometime and run some trails (probably next year).
@@redbeastadventures thanks! it took some thought on getting exactly what I may or may not need…then getting it all to stay on the truck while wheelin everyday. I wish I had some more space, but still love my truck. I’ll be better prepared next time!
@@85Crawler It is definitely a process of trial and error getting the camping gear dialed in for your needs.
I've watched most of your videos, anything you would change now that it's been built for awhile now? Wheelbase? Link length? More power?!
@@monette44 great question, working on a few changes right now. First of all a 32 gallon fuel tank is going in place of the 20 gallon tank for more range, I’m going to all analogue gauges instead of a digital dash..for more reliability. Swapping to 5.38 gears instead of the 4.88’s that gives me the low end crawling torque and control with no problems on the highway because I have the 4l80 transmission with the overdrive. Lastly…I’m sticking with the 42’s they just work!
@@85Crawler Can't loose on 42s😎
@@85Crawler I have a 31 gallon tank, but my truck can get pretty thirsty with the 6.4L Hemi. I can get 15 mpg on the highway but not so much on the trails.
@@redbeastadventures I think the 30 gallon tank or better is a really good size! Especially on the long trips, those hemi’s get thirsty for Shure.
French creek is where my uncle permanently resides🥲
Looks like fun. 👍
@@TawDrago it was a great time!
From crawling to overlanding I like this. Ok still some crawling.
@@sublime929 it was a new thing for me, living out of the truck. We made it through and had a great time!
I used to take an 85 Toyota PU up on those trails along the Alpine Loop, Imogene being the highest elevation. I had problems with vapor locking and found that adding a little ATF to the gas, wrapping fuel lines with foil where they get close to heat sources, and leaving the gas cap loose seemed to help. Even with all that, I couldn't get to the top of Imogene. The alcohol in modern gas makes it even worse. Poke some holes in the cap of a water bottle and use creek water to shower cool parts. Have fun.
@@CP-pp3dr it was definitely a challenge, I ended up changing the tune on my Holley terminator efi twice to get it to be happy. Really enjoyed the views and the group that I wheeled with. I can’t Imagine trying to get the old school carb setups to work at the high altitude.
Great video Caleb looks like alot of fun and that is 1 awesome truck.

Forgot your keys? Here you go!
When we did our paramedic training we spent a day learning about the tools used by our Fire Service. Had fun playing with them too.
@@coover65 definitely good training
@@85Crawler That was 26 years ago and I still have fond memories of it all. We spent our initial 8 weeks training in the classroom and two weeks at a training facility. Did a week of advanced driving, and the rest of the time doing abseiling (vertical rescue), repelling from our helicopter, learning how to get train drivers out of locomotives and a few other things. Absolute best time and made friends for life.

Thank you 🙏
Iv been trying to find a way to keep my paps old square going without really changing the look but I see now what to do ❤❤❤. I’m gonna build my son a wheeling rig out of it. Thanks for the vision
@@ashleyconnelley1856 they are great trucks. Pretty cool that it has a family connection, that will be an awesome project for you and your son to do together. Looking forwards to doing the same type of project with my son when he’s older.
Thanks for sharing my man
Great truck! It has everything I ever wanted to do to mine. Hope you get to do UA in the future!
@@waynelambert9230 thank you Wayne, it’s working better than I imagined. I definitely got my application in this year again, UA is a dream trip of mine!
@@85CrawlerJust keep applying and you’ll make it. You’re so much more prepared than I was for my first UA. We were welding light tabs and installing shocks the morning of check in day.
@@waynelambert9230 I remember watching your green Chevy flat bed on UA, it did well! I love that body style as well. Not as prevalent around my neck of the woods though. Either way you made it, props to you man!
She’s damn sexy
Appreciate it bud!
mostly ford guy here ... your rig is outstanding!!! i always say....if you dont appreciate a square body .. you need your man card revoked. bad ass.....all around...love the dod delete Escalade engine as well.... we have a terminator x running a escalade 5.3 in a 350Z....i agree...money well spent.
@@bobbywalter5320 thank you, can’t deny a square body pickup! They are iconic. I’m glad I went with the 6.2 paired with the terminator set up…reliable and infinitely adjustable. I bet your 350Z is rowdy with a 5.3!
😎🤑
@@monette44 yes it has taken quite a bit of 💰 💵 to get it to this point! I don’t regret it at all!
@@85Crawler Thanks for the walk around! Love it! so much work!!! Blood, sweat and tears. Can't wait to see what you do with Louis V10 too. Cheers
@@monette44 yes it is, don’t worry I’ve got some things coming up for Louis Viten!
Why did you use ford shit in a Chevy???
@@charlescox6608 couple of reasons, the 05 and up super duty axle’s are thicker and wider in comparison to the king pin 60 that came in the Chevy pickups from this era. Also running the super duty 60 gave me the option to run Reid Knuckles so I could squeeze the 1550 u joints on my axle shafts…I know my driving style is heavy on the right foot so I need all the help/strength I can get. The Magnum box from off-road design is a bolt up option on a ford np205…which has the big 90mm bearing already in it. The Chevy np205 has to be drilled and tapped and machined to fit the 90mm bearing. So it saved me a lot of build time as well.. going with the super duty 60.
simple. that particular part is superior. simply a ford spec DANA product. the proper question is ....why is it not available in a GM....
@@bobbywalter5320 yes sir
Sweet truck. Raise Hell, Praise Dale.
@@TawDrago I think Dale would be proud! Thank you! 🙏
Hey boss what size of wheels and tires are those
@@Eatcrap85 in the video it has Dirty Life 17 inch bead locks with 40 inch pro comp MT2’s…but I also run the 20 inch dirty life bead locks with the 42 nitto trail grapplers…by far my favorite!

@@matthewsullivan1615 I take that as a huge compliment, thank you 🙏 it’s been a long term project but I love it more and more as I take it out wheelin.
Killer rig man
@@BushmanofYukon appreciate it bud!
I’m not one of those tree huggers but gas, oil, hydraulic leaks are polluting that beautiful mountain stream as well as tire tracks tearing up the ground. It’s pristine and is getting destroyed.
@@markreed2576 I agree 💯 while we were on holy cross we cleaned up trash that had been left behind from someone else, we also maintain our vehicles so there’s no unnecessary leaking on the trail. It may seem like we parked in the stream for a long time, but it was actually less than 5 minutes waiting on someone to be winched out that was broken.
How is it the Appalachian experience when its in the rockies?
Great video. Awesome build.
Thank you, I’m really enjoying the truck!
Awesome!!!!
@@PeteyWheatie thanks 🙏

@@GiletheCarGuy thanks man, it’s been heavily modified. but I really wanted the grill/headlights and fullsize of the original truck to stay intact…at least on the cab!

Great stuff Caleb thanks for The walk around even though I pretty much know everything about your build from watching all your videos lol. I’m getting close to having my truck ready to hit some hardcore trails. When’s the Colorado trip dropping? that trip looked sick on your instagram.
@@KC-7mm thanks man, I’m really loving the truck. I just got back Saturday and I’m going to start working on the Colorado videos this week, it should be pretty rad!
Saw you on Dave's channel. Hope to see you in Louis ViTen around town!
@@gizmofish57 you definitely will!
Do your rear upper links have 40 degrees of separation from each other? From what I read to keep the axle centered that needs to apply. How long did you build your rear links? Does your rear axle stay centered? I haven't started building my 4 link yet and was thinking I would have to put my upper frame brackets closer to the axle to get that 40 degrees of separation. It would be nice if I didn't have to do that and keep the bottom and top frame mounts at the same location like you did. That was a good video.
I used the upper and lower triangulated 4 link brackets from Barnes 4wd, they are universal and help you get it on the money. The top frame bracket is already at 25 degrees, and helps you get the angle for your upper axle 4 link bracket. I also used the axle brackets from Barnes that are adjustable on top of the axle, which work perfectly with a Barnes full Truss. You can get more than 40 degrees total and it definitely keeps it centered. I’ve had zero issues with it. Love all the Barnes 4wd stuff! It’s a good price, and works well!
Congrats on the purchase. Can't wait to see how it evolves. A truck that's been tested on UA is a good purchase.
@@GiletheCarGuy thank you, I’m digging it! Dave has it pretty dialed in, I’m going to change a few things but nothing crazy!
@@85Crawler Gotta make it "yours"!
