This man saved a piece of very special storm chasing history. It's being restored & hopefully someday again will hit the road. TIV 1 really was something else. To see it in that condition kinda hurt a bit. Just glad it's got a new owner like TIV 2 does.
Bro you saved her ultimately grateful to u guys please restore it has so much potential it's more than a hunk of metal it's dreams and history all in one it means so much to us fans thank u for saving her 😁 you guys just earned my honest respect and subscription u saved a piece of storm technology and history god Bess u guys!
@MrGamingPro It’s called a TIV not a TITUS, but I understand your confusion! Edit: well I guess I’m the dumbass now lmao edit edit: the Titus would actually not live in a tornado not even a EF1.
It didn't disappear she was abandoned and Sean made it a game. She was found by this dude in the middle of bumfuck nowhere Kansas. Why Sean didn't sell her too is mind blowing
@@ashleycantrell9844 I guess he just didn't want to deal with it anymore. I would assume to bring back to CA with whatever mechanical issues it has and get it running would be more expensive than to leave it.
Glad to see it's still around I remember watching storm chasers as a kid when this was the main vehicle before TIV2, hope the rebuild goes good, btw are you keeping the 7.3 powerstroke or changing it out with a new engine like a 6.7 powerstroke or a Cummins diesel.
It would be cool when you finished restoring tiv 1 you could meet up with Ryan Sheperd so tiv 1 and tiv 2 could meet again, i hope restoring tiv 1 is going good so far. Please keep us updated
While I'm glad that TIV1 won't be forgotten, I *am* disappointed to hear that you're planning on changing it. If it were me I'd restore it to its original look, & maybe even put on a few things that seem to have been removed, such as the front foglights. Please hit me up if you decide to sell it to someone else in the future.
If it were up to me, I would preserve the TIV as is, and arrange for it to be put in a museum somewhere. Nevertheless, glad to see she's no longer just rusting away.
This made me so sad i didnt even know what shape the tiv1 is in. I thought its in the garage with tiv2 but its all abandoned. Please please restore this historical gem! I will subscribe and turn on the notifications to see how far you go. Make it even better than Sean did and and make it intercept again (i mean if u feel like it stay safe ofc). Maybe even add new engine and new interior look?
Just curious but are the tornados still gonna be on the side of tiv when your done restoring? There kinda my favorite thing of tiv 1 because of what they mean
I figured with as many issues as that thing had during production of the shower before TIV 2, that they scraped it or it ended up on a back lot at discovery never to be found again
I’m surprised the storm chasers thought the spikes on TIV 1 were affective because I would think by the looks of it they are no sharper than a garden rake
This might be annoying but how did they change the head lamps isn’t there like a metal plate behind it sorry for being Annoying just really like this mess of a truck 🫣

Hey man keep us updated this was my favorite tiv I hear it had a 90 gallon fuel tank I am happy someone found it and decided to rebuild it
When they ran it out of fuel during a chase, I remember hearing Sean say 30 gallons, that's all I'm taking. So you're probably right.
Imagine how expensive

Man I thought that thing was dismantled like 10 years ago

@@gameznthingz wdym a normal car can survive an ef1?
@@gameznthingzits because that it has a very big gap between the vehicle and the Earth
@@ThatoneTiv2KidMakes sense.
@@gameznthingzFacts bro Titus could not even survive a EF1
If i found it, id be watching storm chasers while sitting in the drivers seat 😂
"Hehe im literally sitting in that tank"
nice to see that your're restoring this amazing vehicle. i'm looking forward to seeing you complete rebuilding this!
I can’t believe this thing is still around, much less somebody found it and plans on restoring it.
I know Sean sold the TIV 2, but it was weird that the TIV 1 just disappeared. Hopefully the restoration continues!

I’m so happy this wasn’t destroyed I loved the show and the tiv was amazing although could use alittle fixing up and cleaning

Definitely keep us updated. The orginal TIV should be preserved.
It would be cool when you finished restoring tiv 1 you could meet up with Ryan Sheperd so tiv 1 and tiv 2 could meet again, i hope restoring tiv 1 is going good so far. Please keep us updated
We've met a few times. I've even chased in tiv2 @stormOfPassion is an awesome group

I truly wish I could give a price for this vehicle just glad it was found and not scrapped
Hey man, i hope you haven't abandoned this project, would kill to see it back in action or at least in working condition sometime!
Does it even run? I'd love to hear that ol 7.3 pur. I read somewhere that one point it had 3 different motors put in it.
If it were up to me, I would preserve the TIV as is, and arrange for it to be put in a museum somewhere. Nevertheless, glad to see she's no longer just rusting away.
It belongs in a museum
Please restore it to its Former glory its such a good vehicle 🙏
KEEP THE CLAWS
Na
will maybe work if Robert make them sharper i think

it looks so cool

Y este es el primer vehiculo construido para interceptar un tornado ❤ una parte de la historia
You still restoring it? Pls post an update.
I wish you would keep the claws but I see how they don’t do much. It would be cool to get new ones though. Awesome video man!
most likely too late but you guys should make someplace in the back a radar area where the roof opens and the radar comes out. Just an idea
Tiv had better days.
Three years later and I still wondering what's going on with it
Overall 10/10
Oh the tiv is getting reworked
Bring em back!
I’m surprised the storm chasers thought the spikes on TIV 1 were affective because I would think by the looks of it they are no sharper than a garden rake
they didnt, it was discovery's idea
Idea: replace the race car Chairs with gaming chairs
4:36 It’s an F-Super Duty which is an F-450
Have u started yet?
2:25 look at the upper right corner
They pretty well demolished the wiring harness lol they're gone now haha
Hey man this is really awesome, hope you can upload a vid of when you guys are done with it 🤙🏻
May I suggest something? Put some airbags on it, similar to DOM3
it has airbags (not very good ones) but it has them
Gonna be honest I didn't know what TIV 1s fate was going to be
This might be annoying but how did they change the head lamps isn’t there like a metal plate behind it sorry for being Annoying just really like this mess of a truck 🫣
the mouse at 2:25 lmfao
oh naw
this old tiv for now?
My dream is to own tiv1 and intercept
Any updates on this baby?
Dude you need to put this into a tornado once you get it working lol
How did you get the og tiv
Sean Casey executed a nation wide scavenger hunt for it, we traced out its location and found it 1st.
Robert Clayton wow man I was wondering where that thing went
Please make more videos
@@R.Clayton Does Sean want it back?
@@duglife2230 🤷🏼♀️
2:26 you can see a mouse in the top right lol
Jeeeeeeeez,why IT is so dusty,i never seen an Tornado intercept vehicle so dirty
why is the tiv all broken?
Old very old
@@crkdsunset oh ok thanks!
And it was outside in the weather
2:25 you can see a little mouse run
The only thing I see needed is the inside to be cleaned up
Wow...
How in the blue hell did you even get this?
2:26 Ratatouille
