HOLLLLLY CRAPPPPPP!!!! You guys buying the bundles so far today has outsold any of our one day drops by DOUBLE!!! **ATTENTION** We are literally out of Mullets and Drawstring bags. Anyone who ordered them up to this point will still get them, but we're no longer including them in the bundle as posted in the updated listings!!! I'm sorry this happened, but DANG you guys went hard on these. We're also not changing the price to honor the cost of what everyone else paid all day. Thank you so much and I'm sorry for the inconvenience!!
Just ordered mine, can you please throw Toast in with the order for William Bardsley... I'll pay for the shipping 😁
Just ordered mine thanks cleet
better rip up more track for me to buy brother. haha
I went to order this and the Freedom Factory hats that had the blue logo and came in black or grey and I don’t see them on the site anymore. Will they be coming back and if so do you know when?
"what everyone else paid all day" Well hell they are getting more than what everyone else gets now. a bit unfair.
Hey guys, I know the Freedom Construction bundle is freaking SWEET... But, please don't feel obligated to purchase this stuff like it will make or break the track. Like I've said before, we've got these costs under control, but if you're up for contributing, this bundle is an awesome setup! You guys have given us everything by just watching, and we're very grateful for that! Thanks for watching. -Cleet
I'm building some stuff with that same cat motor right now.
P.S. We had an issue with the website last night that is now resolved, but if you've visited the site in the last couple of days you may see some funky stuff appear in your cart or your address fields! This can be fixed by clearing your browser's cache. Thanks again guys!
Love these videos! Keep up the amazing work cleet!!!! Cant wait to be able to come to the freedom factory in person!!!!
@@CleetusM I was on the website last night and I was very confused at what was happening. But I'm glad to hear that it's fixed 👍🏻
Dude stop feeling bad!! All your subscribers want to make the freedom factory great as much as you do!! But the damm bundle hell yeah brother
Website is working hard with all the traffic. Standby if it road blocks you. We’re upping the server resources right now.
Yeah its a bit slow but np brother
Took me about 15 minutes to get mine bought . It was worth the wait !
A little slow but works. Was able to order my track bundle!
when I went to order it was showing someones info, phone number, email etc
@@SearchWolf yikes
We all know RG biggest fear is " Florida man tries to drift paving miller".
Honestly having a friend like RG is basically the best thing you could ever ever ever hope for. Having a friend who owns an extremely successful, massive road and bridge construction company is a huge blessing.
Really is such a massive massive +
Garrett seems to be the kind of gentleman that is honest good-hearted and doesn't judge who wouldn't want to be around a guy like that especially somebody as successful as RG
@@frankfedewa9769 rg ain't as Rich as uncle chet.... but what they have in common is that they both respect Garrett and help him out. I think that speaks dividends for the kind of character that Garrett possesses
and just a bloody top bloke to boot. He seems like he enjoys giving back after working hard and finding success and that's awesome. Can't take it with ya may as use it to help people and give back to the community.
@@asylumental Garrett makes you want to be a better person lol
I hate being a nice person but I thrive for it because of people like him!
RG: DON'T TOUCH! Cat guy: so here's how you operate this
RG IS LIKE YOUR DAD ONLY LETTING YOU HOLD THE FLASHLIGHT
The Cat guy didn’t pay the $ to purchase mill. Plus if Cleetus breaks it Cat has to fix it meaning more $ in their pocket.
Cat Guy is like... I want to be the cool driver.
I laughed so hard i woke up the dogs downstairs :D
@@Fast4.6 even then he keeps telling you to make sure you watch where your pointing it.
i do see his point though.
Cat guy: "One honks means go, two means stop"
Cleet: "wow we got a science to this"
2 means go one means stop
These vids are special, just seeing a big UA-camr actually invest time money into a place where fans will one day be able to come join in and watch live action instead of just buyin houses and cars and trucks and doing endless giveaways is so refreshing and inspiring
Soooooo much sweat equity being put into the Freedom Factory.
@Last Name First I'd imagine it's a bit of both. He is just fortunate to be able to make money by doing something he is passionate about.
@@SirVic42 better than tana mongeau
@Last Name First That's exactly it, he just has an incredible passion for cars and racing, as well as putting on a show for everyone else to see. Sure he's got money now too, but he hasn't changed because of it, which is refreshing to see.
Cleeter's a true businessman, and a very good one at that.
As a highway engineer that's very familiar with literally everything you've done to the track, it tickles me to death seeing you get so pumped about all the equipment!
😆
Few people get to see the construction behind the scenes
somebody buy this guy the bundle
It really is quite interesting!
Cleeter provides a great opportunity for people like me to see some of the details we would otherwise never get to see
Everybody wants to operate the mill until its time to change the teeth 😂😂.
Funny to hear them talking about grade matching.
Just ordered the orange shirt, I'll definitely never get to visit the Freedom Factory in person due to being piss poor and living in the UK but I'm pleased to do my part for petrol heads world wide.
Never say never!
Have an extra $500 put it into the Spac BTAQ and wait 3 months or so for it to 2x+
I live 30 min away from their and go to the drag strip next door Bradenton motor sports park the freedom factory inst really that impressive jsut lkke any other track I personally enjoy dirt tracks more
Did you get your order yet? Mine says completed but the tracking number says it hasn’t been shipped for over 2 weeks now :/
@@miketerzo3200 yeah I got mine, sorry to hear you're having bother, hope you get sorted soon.
Start a go fund me. Or if you have a kid. Do what frank did in shameless and shave their head and call make a wish (all jokes guys)
Renovating race track in Jan. Meanwhile In Canada Im Hiding from the snow...
And building a dual-quad turbo mustang w/ some NOS
At least you have 8 turbos n a alien trash kitty to keep u warm.
You mean Covid?
Fingers crossed Kyle get to a FF event 2021.
watching this from my igloo
Big equipment is really cool, and VERY expensive. Keep up the good work.
This video gives me nightmares from when my boss paid 250k for a Bandit grinder and the freaking thing was all out of whack. I had to learn to work on it without even a dang manual. I did not succeed much at fixing it. Never buy used Yellow things unless you really know what you are doing. We came to the conclusion that the thing must have rolled over getting towed on the road or something. Terrible memories, covered in fiberglass.
CAT is top notch, great customer service
@@antbanks7548 damn thats a big ass loss bro
@@Morpheen999 when your product costs as much as a house, I'd hope you have good customer service...
I have a hunch this is one giant CAT advertisement and Cleet is getting the machine time for free.
You’re just like an apprentice, “I think I’ll drive the mill today,” “nope I don’t think I’ll let you”. Next day. ‘I think I’ll drive the..... nope”
It's only fair that RG gets to drive Ruby if Cleet wants to drive his equipment. Fair trade
He's got twin turbo Lambos so if he doesn't get to I think he will be fine.
Hell yer.
@@jdbergan didn't cleeter crash one of the lambos though? Not major just a little tap into the wall?
@@Papa7Bravo I think he just spun out haha. He turned down and saved himself from hitting the wall though. It was epic. Lol.
RG has a twin turbo Yukon with a 427 in it
Alternate Title: Cleeet disobeying RG for 20 minutes and 28 seconds.
Florida man trying to touch RG's stick
Florida man grabs RG's Nob without consent
Florida man stick it to RG for 20 min
Ah yes Florida man
Some people spend their whole life to restore one memorable antique car that brings back all the feels and memories.
Others buy and restore a racetrack where so many of those feels and memories were made. I cannot even begin to comprehend how amazing and humbling that may feel. Thank you guys for not forgetting the roots of where we came from!
My gf says to me “why is it everytime you’re on your phone I hear HELL YA BROTHER” 😂😂
"Because, honey..I have moments."
My wife hears it and just sighs lol... shes been hearing it for a couple years at this point. About to just start streaming it in the living room and not on my phone🤣
@@nathannichols7306 HELL YEAH BROTHER
My wife tries to say it at the same time as cleetus Every-time
My girl used to say the same damn thing, but now she just smiles, shakes her head, and leaves the room...haahha
I can’t be the only one that would subscribe to a channel dedicated solely to Freedom Factory maintenance, can I?
100% I'd love to see the day to day. Mowing lawns, mending fences, hell even just cleaning and painting stuff. I love behind the scenes vids.
It would be a good way to get his 2nd channel consistent and big. He could still churn out content that isn't "Cleetus McFarland" branded, but still a part of what he wants to post. There could be a whole 'nother culture on his 2nd channel.
I would too.
For sure, we need more people to like this.
"This Old Racetrack"
RG: U NO TOUCH
CLEET: BUT I WANT TO TOUCH
RG: NO TOUCH
*cleet touches anyways"
Well of course he is just a extremely over sized kid after all
this is funny how Cleetus keeps raising RG's blood pressure by threatening to drive the mill. good shit.
RG: NO TOUCHY
Cat guy: Let her rip tater chip
True hero
Popp o upp 🔝 is gold for Yo ⬆️ the best in We
the way he is always getting caught by RG is hilarious. hes like a toddler who wont stop pressing buttons on things
Enjoying the interactions between RG and Cleet about driving the Mill
I bet RG isn't lol... Peaking his anxiety every time. 😂
RG is such a good dude to be helping renovate the track we need more people like him to keep racing alive
RG and 3:16 Have to have some type of partial ownership agreement behind the scenes. Not that it's a bad thing at all, but he has invested way too much money in time to be doing this for free.

It's not boring it's milling, geez Cleeter.
@@otm646 oh ffs haha
I was just admiring how crazy it is a racing channel has this many people watching replacement videos 😂 I still watch every minute and love it because it's amazing watching this channel grow.
@@otm646 that took me longer to get then I'd like to admit h
I think it would be THE MOST AMAZING event *EVER* to see the Freedom Factory host a Nitro Circus live event in the future!!!! Sooooo sickkk!!!
74 years old - cold Saturday morning (28 deg F) - and I just sat here watching Cleetus play with a milling machine and loved every minute of it. Wonder how long before some minor asphalt racing league decides to run some short track races at the FF.
It is interesting to see the background scenes of track maintenance, probably normally would not want to watch this but it feels like we are all part of this in a very small way, cheers guys!
Cleetus is impressed how quick a hood comes off, I'm shocked
Cleetus has no use for hoods. They get in the way of the turrbskies.
@@TrulyUnfortunate Cleetus' turbskies, sure. CAT's seemed to be pretty happy in the covered engine bay.
RG constantly being a dad is hilarious.
I love how rg dosen't let cleeter touch his stick lol
Selling mullets has to be the most American thing around...
Second only to going bankrupt because of healthcare costs
@@AnthonyBowman lol are you really crying about politics and paying bills in a UA-cam comment section?
I have amazing health care and would never in 100000 years give it up for a bunk public system.
@@aaron5222 hell yee brother
@@AnthonyBowman Come to Australia mate it's free 👍
@@poppa5289 its not free taxpayers pay 2% of their income for very basic healthcare and then you have to pay even more if you want private healthcare which is so much better
God Bless you, your family and America!!! RG is a man of Christ, no wonder he is such a good guy. Love you guys and what you do. Garret makes me want to be a better person. What a genuine, America loving dude!!!
The freedom factory needs a “3:16 SPEED” sponsor sign
Several signs over the property.
100% I freaking love rg he's the best
I like how time is right on the bald eagle scream
Paint it on the pavement!
A nice logo on the burnout pad would be sick next to a FF logo
Am I the only one who’s amazed on how quiet the mill is??????
definitely, the terex mills are loud as hell, these guys barely have to talk any louder, albeit it is a brand new cat
My friend works for a big machine dealer and he said due to people complaining about construction equipment and shutting down jobs there is a huge push/demand for quite fuel efficient machines
You can definitely see the reflection in Cleetus's sunglasses of RG flipping the bird to Cleetus while he sneakily driving the big machine haha! You guys have alot of fun🤙🏼
Football stadiums have a booster club why not have a “Freedom Factory Boosted Club”
THATS GOOD STUFF RIGHT THERE
Hell yea, Brother!!!
I love how he kept saying no but eventually caved after you kept being super persistent . Made me chuckle
RG is like the parent telling their child not to touch the stove and the kid is slowly moving his hand toward the stove while staring down the parent
The dynamic between you and RG is hilarious
RG is the best! Taking care of the FF! Such a humble guy!
I was born and mostly raised in Bradenton. My weekend was at the strip and speedway. And It sucked that Desoto speedway closed. Its awesome its coming back to life
Needed that cooper signature on the card. miss that guy being the ultimate trio with y’all. his badass funny remarks and jokes
No way, pooper sold out
Idk what i love more seeing how the cars improve or seeing how the ff improves
Personally I'm digging the FF content more than the car stuff lately, but that's because it's so unique to this channel ya know?
Cleet- you don't "drive" the mill. You "operate" it. Great job. Awesome to see you wanting to get involved in the work not just the deligating it to the contractor!
Getting told off by rg every 2 seconds was actually hilarious 😆😆
"RG cant stop us"
20 seconds later RG is telling him no and making merch ideas about telling him no
Don't touch my stick!
Cat makes one HELL of a nice mill. And there pretty proud of there work. We can't thank RG and the gang there at 3:16 Speed for keep the FF in the shape its in. This place is going to be SWEET when you guys get her all back into working shape. Hopefully by then this virus crap will be gone and we can travel again and come down and enjoy a event and see in person everything you've done.
The only thing that keeps me looking forward to the next day is my boy cleetus videos. Thank you for what you do brother. Happy new year.
I’ve never once bought anything from any guy on the web. Until this. I think what you’re doing is a great thing man. I hope all your future endeavors go well. I enjoy watching your videos and I hope my sons and I will be able to come check out the FF at some point. I’m so happy to see what you guys have done and I’m sure Dale is too. Keep it up man.
Man it's pretty cool hearing a UA-camr talk about construction and how it's harder than it looks to operate machines and keep grade, hold a line, love that you are also getting to experience some of a sweet trade 🤙
Who else absolutely loves ole cleeters song choice for all of his timelapse footage?!?!?!?
You should’ve had them printed in ANSI safe reflective so they’re job site safe!!!!!!!!
I love watching a old track being restored. Cant wait to visit.
Ultimate burnout from the mill - doesn't just lay rubber, it takes the track right off!
Cleetus McFarland: where even the ads are good content
Hey Cleetus. Been watching for a long time. But this is the most heartfelt video you've posted, for me. My best friend passed away a couple weeks ago (12/21/2020) in his sleep. He was 21 years old and he absolutely loved watching your videos. He also worked at CAT as a mobile mechanic for different job sites. Sported a pretty fine mullet, too! Thanks for making all the content that you do! I love watching your videos because they always brighten up my day! (P.S. Also ordered a shirt that will definitely get worn on the job.) Much love from Kenosha, WI!!
RG defintley a good guy, gotta look past his doubts on letting someone drive his 800,000 dollar machine I probably wouldn't either lol
This is the florida man equivalent of gamer girl bathwater
Not really. This is something tangible (and not just plain water as some tests have shown with the bath water) and is something that is kind of normal in sports they sold the water from the ice in the old Joe Lewis arena in Detroit and I think I remember reading about turf from some stadium.
@@ThaneaPally why so serious, this is a funny af joke 😂
@@ThaneaPally did you buy water thinking it was bathwater?
😂😂😂
@@ThaneaPally Somebody put a little too much research/thought into buying gamer girl bath water. LOL To be fair, there's zero differenice between a hunk of I95 and the FF either... Same way there's no difference in bath water vs regular dirty water. The value is attached by those buying it. Though, admittedly, Freedom Factory dirt is WAY more appealing than bath water. LUL
Passion is being involved in all aspects of what you are into... Love how you are going in on all areas and helping.
I’ll bet it’s fun for those boys to see someone so interested in their job.
I'm just saying... races have been raced on that race track. This is no longer fixing an abandoned race track. This is now renovating a well loved race track!
renovating an adopted racetrack.
Give RJ and company their own ad billboard and box seats at the track. He and his partners and workers are a key part to Cleeters ability to have this business . self funding road construction like shown here is impossible even for small towns to afford let alone private people's projects. God bless AJ and his team. God helped put these guys together.😄
I better see some construction workers with these shirts on the highway this summer
It’s gotta have the DOT reflective on it if they are road guys.

Come on who doesn't like BIG equipment. Like a kid in the sand box! Looking awesome keep up the good work.!! 🇨🇦
Hahahahaha never thought I’d see a 1/4 oz weed jar with race track in it.
I bought my freedom factory bundle before this video came out!
Edit: everytime you do construction at the freedom factory, you should wear this shirt
Owning a racetrack and operating a beast of a milling machine , to most people that sounds stupid i'd reckon. But to me it sounds like you're living the dream Cleet! And bless you RG , we can't thank you enough for helping ol'Cleet out!
You know you're a good salesman when you can sell dirt
Or bathwater... ;p
used dirt!
Rob Dahm sold used motor oil. Dunno which is harder to sell
Idiots will buy anything
As someone in the construction field i can tell you when you need dirt, it's expensive
Hell yeah brother! 16:20 love the timelapse music. Please don't ever change it 🇺🇸🤟🇺🇸🤟🇺🇸
This is like Cleetus's version of Belle Delphine's gamer girl bath water.
Not quite 😳
I remember that. I drank her water 😂 wonder what cleets taste like. 💧
Bro I know it’s already a week in, but we needs a month of Freedom!!! Hell yeah brother!! 🇺🇸
Make that a year of Freedom!
Red, white, blue and orange... reminds me of something.
Great to see you supporting the Netherlands!
Just bought the freedom bundle... gonna rock that shirt at every job site in Washington DC

@@apleatherworking9952 based on what?
There aren’t a lot of wealthy you-tubers who would enjoy an afternoon of milling asphalt...
All the memories and people you get to meet just because of UA-cam is amazing keep up the hard work brother it will all pay off one day 💪
And just like that Cletus had to redo the whole track just to make the millings for us.
That is honestly what I was thinking. He may be surprised how quickly his millings go by.

Your banter with RG never disappoints.
Orange shirt, red white blue headband. This man be supporting the Dutch national soccer team 🇳🇱
RG comes back and the whole track is just sand and his mill is cooked!
EDGE THE GRASS!!! Grass EATS the asphalt end it will look FREAKIN SICK!
When you get done paving. You should crack seal the whole track. And put a sealer on the track like Richmond speedway use to do.
When I heard the song, I was waiting for "So we got a call".
I was looking for a comment like this !!! Hahah! I heard the music and was slightly confused as to what channel I was watching😂
Absolutely love watching anything Freedom Factory reno. This is great content. Especially enjoying the asphalt repair work too.
The first compound turbo ripper at the Freedom Factory is the asphalt milling machine...
Last time I was this early, Ruby had a stock motor.
@Z71 Dirtymaxx He was probably following the previous owner or something..
That ol junk yard dog with the truck motor 😝
Hell last time I was this early Cleetus found the name tag on Leroy.
what engine was it supposed to be? LS2? LS3?
@Z71 Dirtymaxx it was a stock block 5.3.... so yes. a stock motor. not THE stock motor.
Everybody needs to operate a multi $100,000 mill once in a while. Good for Cleetus. The track is looking good. 👍
Can’t wait to go to the track when it’s all done hell yea brother
RG: The New Shirts gonna say Don't Touch my Stick
Me: Brilliant
I don't know why but the track renovation videos are my favorite right now. It's so fascinating.
All I hear is Captain Jack Sparrow. "I gotta jar of dirt".
Oh no where is the thump thump
I'm a truck driver, i do that excact work and i hate the fact that those mill drivers fill the bed to the point of overflow. It goes over the trucks weight limit by far. Usually the trucks i've driven are at the max legal limit on the weight when the bed is a bit over half way full. Due to the fact that that asphalt is stupid heavy to haul. Offcourse there are mill drivers who actually use sense and some even talk to the drivers to ask how much they can load before the limit. Becous at the end of the day, its tge driver that has to pay if the cops pull you over and decide to weight your truck. Happens more often than you would think...
HELL YEA BROTHER!!!!!! Just bought my bundle dont care about mullet or bag wanted that frickin sweet shirt and dirt. Thanks for all you do for us Cleeter
Cleetus the smooth operator getting the training in on the low. "No!" Lmao
