Please paint the truck with rocker guard. That is all thanks.

The air pressure in the hose is enough pressure to push the needle valve down so air can enter the tire.....:)
If'n it was my project I would have a exocage wrapping it with a roof mounted tent. And a bush kitchen setup for back country expeditions. You know something for Bigfoot to throw rocks at. ✌️
most likely pressure of the air pushing the valve open
Considering your driving style, you need to build an outside-the-body hoop cage so it can just roll without killing you or bursting into flames.
Just put the roll cage outside where it belongs...
Exocage? I want one on my xj lol more like need one haha😂
Exo-cage for the win!
Yes... Pretty sure an exo-cage is what it for sure needs! Just have to consider the weight...
Driveline upgrades would have to happen I'd think.
A round one so you can just roll over completely and wind up on the tires again
Please keep this build going! It would be so cool to see it with a paint job and some off road lights and dare I say, a beefier roll bar?
make it into barbie kei truck please!!!

Pink?
if the 6x6 has an auxilary output, adding a small generator attachment would be cool to charge the vehiche being towed, to charge devices on the go, and to maybe go camping with it. Having the equiptment in the back would be cool with an extended roll cage to mount things like gas tanks, solar, tarps, tents, lights, and more. Equiping this to be an overlanding beast would be super cool.
A white bedliner paint job would hide those “imperfections”, tow system for the busted toys, hmm... You guys still have that overland trailer? 😊
18:42 that air nozzle trick made my jaw drop just like all of you guys. 😮
Please keep learning more useful tips like that from tiktok and showing us, so I never have to go onto that horrible platform 😁
That air hose hack has been around since I was a kid. I love how you guys are learning old-timer tricks and how is old-timers are learning stuff from the younger generation. As it should be. You keep my 58 year old heart young. I’m still doing wheelies on my Yamaha WR450F!
This is probably the coolest episode thus far. I love the 6x6, and the baby jetboat seems like it would be the most fun vehicle physically possible. Dare I suggest that this has been... premium content? I hope a windshield can be gotten for the kei truck for a non-million dollars. Parts availability is the ONLY reason I don't have a lifted kei truck for trail use. Maybe with less grip, the front diff will be safe for a while.
If you get a suzuki you'll be surprised how many parts you can still get new. Up till this year they still made the Carry 1.3 under a different name and badge in India.
@@danoupossel5072 Right, but I'm sure they're expensive and hard to get in the USA, aren't they?
@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney I got a brand spanking new prop shaft for just under 300 euro's. I think that's quite reasonable. And I can't imagine shipping is more expensive to the US than to Europe from Japan or China.
I forgot how badass the mini jet boat is and how much I loved watching you guys rip it the first time..not to mention how premium the sounds it makes are. I want to build something like it so bad lol! 👌
I'd imagine it's just the air pressure pushing down the seal on the schrader valve.
But yeah,I had no idea you could do that.
Oh...and ditto on wasting so much time looking for one of my half dozen air chucks.
Yeah, I remember my dad doing that all the time when I was a kid, I do it time to time. found out it don't work on most car wheels now days because most wheels have short schrader valve stems because of tmps.
I do it all the time with tractor tires. I pull the shrader valve first so that air flows faster though. You just have to be quick reinstalling the valve when the time comes.
The production values just keep getting better and better. I’ve been watching everything since barbie cart and I’ve loved the journey, but the videos lately are the best so far. And you need to build a dock for the pond.
I don't watch UA-cam for production value. I would watch crap quality as long as the content is enjoyable. Once the big channels start to look like a TV show I unsub and never return. We get more content when the creator doesn't worry about production quality. Keep it gritty and real
As long as they keep the small shop, I will keep watching. The tiny shop and the crazy builds are THE defining feature of grind hard. I have been watching since the beginning of barbie car season 2, so it's good to see other long time viewers!
The scoring keeps on getting better and better. Great work on everything and the work on the music is noticed and appreciated!
I agree! I'd love to know the name of that surf rock used in the outro on this one
I have a custom built 6x6 semi Ive been working on and its a monster, i want to make a suggestion in making the middle suspension super soft and allowing it to travel as freely as possible. Its gotten me up and down many a obstacle
Premium Video. Long time fan of your builds. I can't believe how far you guys have come since I started watching the channel! Keep up the great work! Also digging the drone shots of the woods, Edwin! Sorry about the roll over 😅
The shredding of the pond looked like redemption. He didn't seem too upset about rolling his premium kei truck. His ability to overcome unthinkable barriers is admirable. Level headed. cool in all circumstances, like a snow fed creek in northern Idaho.

@@ecoriderLNT when you say "he" are you referring to Ethan?
ive been using the hose trick since i was a kid, im 35 now. but heres extra tip , if u had taken the core out when setting bead it would have seated without brake cleaner with all the extra air being shoved into the tire without the core or an air chuck. also i know that tire mounter all to well at age 16
wish I had one of those tiny trucks. They always look like a blast and could do so many upgrades to get them up to high speeds.
You can get them brand new under 6k usd if you want any guide how you can get it I can explain like through which country
You can ship them from Pakistan
A place close to my work sells plenty of Daihatsu minis like this one for well under $10k
@@chromasux2 Can you tell me the model name?
@@Gamer74812 Daihatsu Hijet and Suzuki Carries look up Duncan Imports
If you ever get bored and want more power, I would suggest putting in the 13b from the trike in the kei truck.
It would be hella cool and the trike does not get used much anyway.
I'm glad ya'll got such good footage of the rollover!
Dude theres so many cameras there would probably be 2hour footage of a single fart.
This is easily becoming one of the most enjoyable channels in my subscriptions.
The brainstorming, fabrication and completion coupled with the editing and filming quality is very entertaining.
Also the fact you are building some random ass cool stuff and having fun like big kids...PREMIUM
A jigsaw with some metal blades works great instead of a grinder. Almost no dust, just as fast too, and a clean cut! I use 24tpi Milwaukee blades. Now I only use a grinder for mistakes or parts I can’t reach otherwise.
Can you do an overlanding tour with some of your bilds? Like the colonel, barbie jeep and trailer, the 6x6? That would be sooo sick!
My idea was make the bed on this 6x6 removable with a 5th wheel hitch they can swap on instead. Then fab up a mini double deck car hauler trailer for all the power wheels. It would look like a little old cab over engine semi from the 70s-early 80s.
You guys are obviously a bunch of kids at heart with your Build's. I'm so jealous
Steven with the Pudins fab shop sweater!!! 😍
I had to rewind it because I thought I was seeing things. Awesome that he supports Puddin!
19:20
The pressure from your tank pushes in the Schrader valve. The valve stem pushes in the valve in your hose quick connector
thumb's up for the Puddins Fab sweat shirt he's a bit insane but he's still a hell of fabricator also before you get a new windshield how about a tiny exo cage to prevent it breaking a second time the windshield for those ain't cheap
You can also fill shraeder valves with a rubber tipped blow gun. It works by blowing air past the valve. Also works to fill volleyballs and basketballs, needle not necessary
The 6x6 kei truck is my favorite project you guys have done so far, gives Europe truck trials rigs just mini version. Needs an exo cage to complete to look
Just a few minutes into this video, Great idea for future builds, and to everybody at home, Differentials can be turned up-side down to Reverse the direction of drive, a lot of people argue that this isn't possible, but it is. Obviously there can be oiling issues and a higer drive shaft and slightly offset. But for fun offroad projects, it's really doable.
Ethan, that’s actually crazy how much injury that seatbelt saved you from. And the fact it held a big American boy and didn’t break, I give props to whoever built those seatbelts for Mitsubishi
I mean...... He's not a super big fat guy, and you'd hope that seatbelts of all things would have a pretty big factor of safety.....
@@jaredlancaster4137 when it’s built for 5’2, 100 pound Chinese people, yes it is impressive it held.
@@Watchdog99 mitsubishi is japanese which national average is 5'7 and they have to adhere to the same restrictions as the US for safety, infact I think they're more strict.
he's about the size of a stocky japanese person. wtf are you on about?
@@Watchdog99 Safety factor. I said safety factor. If you're not familiar with what that is, it's making things stronger than they need to be if they're safety critical. Something like a seatbelt you would generally make about 3x stronger than it should need to be. Which means something that will hold a 100lb Japanese guy in a hard crash will have no problem supporting a 500lb fat guy in a slow rollover. But Ethan is definitely under 200lb, so not really that crazy.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
Hey guys! Awesome build so far. I had the problem with a dif turning the wrong way too in one of my builds years a go. Then realized that it will spin the other way around if you just flip it. You should check if the dif can be flipped upside down. Can you move a vent if it has on and check how it oils it's self and so on. Then you could buy the better dif if it can be installed upside down. Keep up the jeeeeet!!!
for the filling up the air with the quick attatch on the air hose it doesnt need to push on the needle valve because the air pressure in the hose is greater than in the tire it acts just as a check valve, so it opens only from air pressure 👌👌
Sucks about tipping the 6x6.. but damn! The tiny boat footage. So good you guys. PREMIUM! Looks like such a blast to hang out and work with you all. Building amazing stuff.
If you take the valve core out it get more air in, which is very handy when trying to get the beads to grab.
My reaction to the air chuck trick was more of an "I'll be damned!" Those tires are some chonky boys though, looking really good on those and the rim choice. Still think it needs a badass tube front bumper and exo-cage for it to be a true Grind Hard workhorse/trailrig... 😉
So a wider long arm suspension kit is needed? Though that would impact on it getting between trees.
Something to keep in mind if you do a diff flip, is lubrication. Make sure once it's flipped all the bearing are still getting lubricated.
The fact that Ethan just rolled a truck and was so calm about it what a G id be screaming my head off
It was a slow roll over. So the momentum was reduced. Had it been faster, the momentum would have been much more severe and could have resulted in more serious injuries. Also lucked out the old seat belts held up.
Id be screaming but not for the reason your describing.
dude this honestly made me so sad. this is easily the coolest thing you guys have ever built and when it rolled i almost shed a fucking tear
It is a shame to bend up that cab.
Been doing the air coupler to inflate my 4x4 tires for years. I eventually went to metal caps and no valve cores. That way I can air down and up quickly. FYI street pressure is 12 to 15 Lbs even flat they hold the weight of the Rig.
This has to be my favorite sound track episode yet. I think we have to thank Edwin’s wife for Latin flair.
My dudes, u guys are just living the best life a human can possibly live. That lil boat is the coolest thing ever.
I love that the boys learned the air hose trick and all of us who grew up being tire techs are like uhhhhh sir that's normal 😅😂 such a wild world to live in where people know the most random things
I was thinking the EXACT same thing! ROTFLOL. Except I was never a tire-tech, but still knew that was how to get it done. It does better when getting the bead on because its less restrictive than a chuck.
providing you can ensure that all the bearings get the proper oil, you could take one of the upgraded diffs and flip it upside down to correct for the opposite rotation and mount it with custom brackets. i'm not familiar with these diffs, so i'm not sure if you could get it to work.
I'm surprised he's not already designing a long travel a arm kit for it and I think it would look cool if you could get all 6 tires out the width of the tire thickness
That's exactly what I thought. Long arm suspension to add width and travel.
Really don't know if this will apply, but if it's symmetric enough to mount up, you can invert a differential to reverse its effective drive direction. Risky if the gears are helical cut, because the pinion thrust may not be carried appropriately depending on the pinion bearing configuration (effectively it's running in "reverse" all the time), but these ones appear straight-cut. May also have difficulty if limited slip is involved, depending on if it's forward/reverse biased.
I’ve been doing that for years, It’s amazing what you can discover when you are challenged by need to with no tools at hand.
17:30 Works great for getting beads to seat too. Especially if you pull the valve core. HOWEVER, it beats up the o-rings on the coupler pretty bad.
Awesome vid. And if i may suggest:
1)Repair dents and body work.
2) Paint with raptor liner in army green.
3) Make a electric boat lift in the back of truck.
4) Make a headache rack with lights and wench.
Yeah, I didn't think of airing tires up like that, but I have gotten the beads to seat like that if you pull the pin out. Helps if you don't wanna do the whole lighter thing. That was on car tires though, so who knows.
Definitely a ladder rack on back that goes into an exo-cage around the front would put this over the top! Also if you do that cage a long stinger bar off the front might let you go down some hills without you know front flips! Love the build so cool!
Wheel spacers .ifht slightly help side to side role maby and some how lower the center Gravity. Amazing videos, thanks.
This video started out like a regular Grind Hard fab video and then quickly evolved into some of the rowdiest ripping you guys have EVER posted!! That jet boat thrash was insane!!!
Your mini Barbie boat is one of my favorite projects you've done.I've watched all your boat episodes at least a couple extra times. But when you put tracks on everything bring it bring so much joy
The greatest thing ever the Puddin’s fab shop sweater
Incredible build, in spite of its rust! And the boat!
When can I come and play for a bit?
Keep up the great work 🙏😎🤙🛻💨
Iv been doing the quick connect air chuck since i was a kid in the early 90's. If the connector is any kind of wore out, it doesn't work
Stephen had on a Puddins Fab Shop hoodie on when he got knocked over by the water! that's sick haha, good choice. right at 30 minutes.
Love that your using a hardwood flooring hammer to install struts, and bulge tires to seat beads…. Total grind hard energy
The center part of a Schrader valve is a one-way valve. Look how it operates. Any pressure over what's inside the tire is going to blow past it.
thanks for brightening up a down day- I had fun watching Y'all have fun
The more I watch you guys, the more I love your vids. The editing, the music, drone shots....sarcastic banter, everything!
The air hose trick works by the valve body sealing the coupler and the air pressure overcoming the little force needed to open the Schrader valve. If you have large tires to fill, pull the Schrader to fill faster and quickly install it back before it all escapes.
Nice to see Puddins Fab Shop merch in the video. The 6x6 has got to be the best toy you all have built so far
One cheap and helpful upgrade one might consider is the headache rack/roll bar. But that could make it look less like a normal rig. than one may find aesthetically appropriate for the application. It could, if cleverly attacked, however, provide some protection for your new windshield. I don’t know how many other folks had this as the first thought.
The pond fun, you guys literally dropped the water level as you drove, that's so premium.
17:12 the air pressure just moves it like a check valve. This is how a lot of portable pumps work.
You can use a normal air gun to inflate tyres aswell. Just press the tip of the air gun to the shreder valve and shoot. The air pressure alone is plenty to push the valve in. Some air escapes yes, but that doesn't matter, just keep the nozzle directly over the valve and it works a treat
Imagine a creek on the property deep enough to make a track for a mini jet boat. A moat around the property for a full lap course 😅
these are the most wholesome videos I love y'alls personalities. keep the premium content coming.
This one was so fun to watch! Nicely shot and edited!
It seems like the goal of this channel is to make practical items less practical but cool. What you did with the mini truck is make it was more practical and cool. I have a feeling other people will be doing similar conversions. The truck has probably become the most useful tools for a farmer.
Roll bar and perspex glass needed and the jet boat is a absolutely mental I want 1 bad looks so much fun
I've known the quarter inch female fitting works on a Schrader valve stem for 30 years😊
I have really enjoyed these builds. That little 6x6 is awesome. Verry capable rig! That little boat is rowdy!
You should be able to get the rebound on the shocks valved a little stiffer.
I can only dream of putting an exo cage on the 6x6! Looks amazingly fun, as always!
Another one of my favorite episode is your big group overland camping trip..I still think you need to do a braking system with the trailer. This mini JDM truck could be a great platform for overloading...
Just had a thought, what about extending the bash plate the full length of the chassis? Even if it was in (tries thinking in American) 1/8th of an inch, the extra weight added (oh no!!!), would be below the center of gravity, which would help a little in stopping it flip over. Though the real reason it flipped was the edge of the wheels digging into the dirt. Thicker plate would be even better...
The mini boat looks such fun, looking forward to 6x6 Turbo mini-truck mk2
The thing with filling the tire with air, it's more of a check valve on the tire, the pressure pushes the stem not anything mechanical
Keep up the good work I like the way yell build yells projects n they have speed n power that's always a good thing
That’s the coolest little truck ever. She’s premium!!
When I use my Stanly hand saw to part stuff off on my metal lathe, even though I am right handed, I hold the handle in my left hand and the end of the saw in my right. That way my sweater does not get near the rotating chuck or belt drive. Same thing when I am hand filing on the lathe. I feel a lot safer that way.
Been filling tires like this for a long time, don’t have toktic I remember being amazed too, the mud trucks always needed air and boy did it suck when the valve stem was too short to reach then the hunt began
This is quite awesome. A really wide and flat bed half track would be swesome along with the option for 6x6. If you do a half track you could add skies maybe? Maybe find some old 50s farm truck with the curves and stuff and then stub nose the front, widen the body, chop the top, and then add a free flowing flat bed to it. Convertiable top would be quite sweet.
The barbie boat is wicked cool. Any kid should have one of them!
Those of you wondering how this is possible (to fill the tire without the adapter), he in fact did say it. The design is fairly similar but the center of the hose pin is small enough to fit within the ring. When I first seen it I had a chuckle. This was a trick my old automotive teacher use to teach back in the early 2000s. A good example is compare the inside of the air hose with the one you get air from at gas stations. ^_^
your gonna have to make a mini boat trailer for that setup, their both so good!!
A Roll cage and tracks for next winter maybe, cool build. Smiles 😃 from Huntsville Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Keep this build going , it’s already a beast but I want to see it turn into a monster ! Keep it up
If you remove the valve core it helps when mounting new tires as it increases the flow of air.
You guys do incredible work. Your fabrication skills are just next level. You must work 24/7 non-stop to be able to produce all these projects and content. Pretty amazing. I've been watching for about a year now and you guys really motivate me to keep chipping away at all of my projects. Thanks for the content!! Much appreciative!
That boat is RIDICULOUS! Can't believe how awesome that was in such a small pool.
The old farmer Air hose trick!!! Lol it actually supplies more air volume when filling up huge tire so be careful filling little guys it'll fill them real quick..
Came over after seeing your interview with Derek! Binge watching your content and loving it.
You can use a tool end to blow up a shrader valve but it destroys the seal. Only use it if you have to.
Ever considered some 'in the wild' content? Like going to a crowded boat ramp and launching the mini jet from the back of the 6x6 kei and looking for reactions?
As much as I love to watch the build, I also love to see you guys enjoy these wild projects
The truck looks absolutely brilliant! This definitely needs to have " Grind Hard Plumbing Power Wheels Recovery Team" painted down each side! Keep doing what you do 👍‼
You can also use an air nozzle with or without a rubber tip.
This is the greatest show on earth and I really can’t thank you all enough…
Best build I have seen this year.
the barbie boat wrap looks so good!
I'm 52 and I went jet skiing with a buddy, 2 years ago! He had just bought 2 used Sea-Doo's for a good price. I swore that day, that I'd never ever try it again! It beat the 💩 out of me! That's until I saw, that little jet boat! How badass is that! I'd come out of retirement for a ride in that! 💯🤪
It makes me so happy that I knew about the air hose trick decades before you guys knew about it.
Please fix the 6x6 best build ever great job 😊
