    It's nice to see how far Hunter has come both as a camera person, and a mechanic! He looks a LOT more comfortable with a wrench in his hand now, than he did when he first started! Young man definitely not afraid to learn!

Awesome folks. Even opened up the merch shop for us even though it was closed when we came by. My wife was super impressed and even though we were nervous at first they made us feel welcome ! Love watching your videos and will continue buying and wearing your merch 🤙

    Guys, you know why you are so successful? Because you are REAL. Almost as real as it gets. People LOVE REAL and I would say by now we are all tired of fake. People like me follow you because it means we are a part of something we could all be near and be a part of, so thank you from the bottom of all our hearts for your dedication, you will be made very monetarily wealthy by this, but we all know that is NOTHING compared to the love of one another and the wealth of love you provide to nourish drained souls from all the abuse of a world in disrepair. Thank you! -Dean (from one of the Cox family ancestry)

    it was cool to do the big block for nostalgia sake and rip it hard for a bit, and if it was just a Sunday driver I'd say big block, but this wrecker is your workhorse, and needs to be reliable and ready to perform at a moment's notice, so im actually excited to see this LS swapped. I give you credit for at least trying the big block and not going to the ls right off the bat. i do think the motor is cursed, or it cant hold up to the Cox boys heavy Pedal stompin' feet😂

  • @erichall9438
    @erichall9438 8 місяців тому

    Something fishy is going on with that big block, it just eats valve train parts. Many thanks to Sylvester, people like him are one of the many reasons I watch UA-cam more than any news outlet or mainstream TV, it’s a hell of a lot easier to find examples of the kindness of others. The 6.2 is going to be an nice upgrade for the tow truck, excellent video folks!
