Everyone's gushing over the drone jump shot and rightly so, but it's the welding POV's that really stood out to me. Wouldn't mind seeing lots more of those!
Y'all are my favorite fabrication/hooning channel on YT. Ethan's lack of self preservation coupled with his fabrication/design skills is top tier. Extremely entertaining to say the least. Then add Edwin's editing and drone piloting skills. Chef's kiss. With how he keeps sending this Humvee. I hope y'all plan to beef up the tie rod situation. Would hate to see this project pigeon toe off a table top jump. I agree on the Alaska road trip once the project is finished. Maybe a Rubicon trail challenge as well......
I think supercharger for the torque and somewhat simpler build process. I think you could make entirely sufficient power without having to mess with hot and cold side piping and oil feed lines for turbos, and all that nonsense. Tuning should be a bit easier as well. Boost control done by pulley instead of fiddling with wastegates and such.
I just wanna shoutout a big appreciation for this channel being true to itself. I like that there aren't weird masculine moments, weird patriot nonsense, and just in general that whole "I make things so I gotta be loud/proud/obnoxious" mentality that a lot of building channels have. Grind Hard is like chilling with my friends while we build cool stuff.
@@EdwinOlding not that bad. But at a minimum. He should install low profile mechanical suspensions at the base of the seat. They typically are used for tractors. But continuous vibration to the spine is bad. He needs to reduce as much as possible. Most of us truck drivers dont get good suspension in the trucks. I have had far worse than him. With an air suspension seat. Dont ask me where. I nicknamed it demon road. Extreme Percent grade short hills. Typically about 10 in a row. You charge at the bottom. Cause it feels like a boat going over a wave. All you see is hood and sky. Very fun and dangerous. 180 point double Pretrip is required.
Yeah, I saw that on tiktok and tagged grindhard a couple times, but we really need to see Grindhard launch some old unused shtt in the 4th of july launch!!!
I'm 27, I've been watching you guys for a couple years now and just recently bit the bullet and bought a mig welder, your content has inspired me to build!
A Humvee nose dive directly into everything you just built says it all. I can appreciate you continuing to challenge yourself to make things. Sometimes it’s not worth it but when it is and satisfies that itch why not!!
Just superb camera and editing work. I actually really like Ethans selfie cam work, the panning time lapses are on point. I'd watch hours of welding cam footage, but the drone work.....wow, lucky or not, that was the coolest thing, thank you Gentlemen. Oh, nice Hummer to!
Since I started my military career as one of those dumb privates who worked on HMMWVs, I really appreciate how much you also ragged on their design choices. 🤣 The nice thing about working on them is everything is accessible, but that's probably the only nice thing about working on them. lmao Almost everyone in the Army hates them, but if they can be modified into fun toys, I'm all for it.
Everything you do is amazing and entertaining, but the video work, the b-roll, drone shots, slow-mo and slider/panning time-lapse shots are next level and make this very enjoyable for a photographer to watch :)
we already saw the trip where everything went wrong. We should just focus on the great footage, the wild builds people have out there, the trails, and incredible scenery
I just want you to know I’m a disabled vet injured in Iraq from an ied. You’re building my dream. Please enjoy it! I wish the government gave me more money so I could have toys like this.
Merch idea! You could take all of those hexagons (50 cent piece size) you cut out of everything, stamp or press your logo onto one side, think of something different for the other side.. then sell them as tokens or even challenge coins (easy to look up challenge coins if you’re unfamiliar). You could even give away (quarter size) “Premium edition” ones at the events you attend, with code phrases you provide in your video content.
@@achilleaustin nah, the “hole” will stay in whatever bracket or whatnot is being attached to the project. Oh! I get what you’re saying.. I didn’t think of that.
The stock springs are so big because they are a 2 1/4 ton rated truck. Please Crack the geared hibs open and check the nuts that hold the output stub shaft in place. There are 2 different designs but they are both known for letting go, resulting in a tire departing the vehicle with the stub attached. I've personally been in 2 in 9 years of Marine Corps service. Love the channel, I always look forward to what's next.
It is so surprising that you guys were able to lose that much weight just by changing out stuff and making custom stuff this humvee is an absolute beef cake I love this build. I do think a camper would look super cool with this truck the ultimate off-road overland machine.
Have you guys ever considered doing cerakote for some of your larger parts? You can build a simple oven out of some rigid foam to whatever size you need and curing temps are much lower than powder coat (as low as 150F). You can just use a heat gun for the heat source. I use this method for larger bike parts like frames and swing arms mostly. Then you don’t need to worry about buying a gigantic oven and don’t have to outsource for coating big parts! Aaron Colton has a lot of cool videos using this method. Love the work you guys do 🤙🏼
More welding POV's, please! Jumping the drone.....yup. Premium! Shock tower brace design/fab....extremely satisfying. You guys are killing it with this build....every time I see a new PlumVee video, the adrenaline hits hard!
Huge fan of the channel, Ethan is a pro at fab and welding, it’s a joy to watch. Also second the dude that said need to finally put siding on the house!
On your trip to Alaska, you can search for some ultra rare JDM Honda parts that were ejected from my Del Sol SIR when I rolled her in the Yukon! I'll draw you a treasure map! LOL
Would it be a stretch to have part of a future episode when the Humvee is done to have an actual Army Humvee mechanic to be shown all the mods and take a test drive? That would be some great bonus content!
Ethan, Edwin, thanks for another enjoyable episode. I wish upon you very large advertising paychecks. And watching the fur changes on the native Ethan as the cold winter approaches is one of nature’s greatest spectacles.
I do my powdercoat curing with a 1kw electric lamp heater - put the part on a piece of welding wire hanging in front of it. I move larger parts around in front of it and cure it in sections - Worth investigating for your bigger pieces
Yes, the spring does carry the weight of the vehicle but that’s also the max force it sees (at full compression). The shock attachment sees higher dynamic loads as it needs to slow down the spring during extension (so thats the spring force) and slow down the vehicle during compression (mass times (de)acceleration)
Also, they're built literally for war so no shit everything is gunna be hilariously over built as a safety measure. I know if I had people shooting rockets at me the last thing I'd want is underbuilt suspension and drivetrain components lol.
I am a quadriplegic and to watch your channel keeps my mind going! I’m trying to get hands back to fab again! Keep up the awesome work! Amazing content!
If you want to bake large pieces after you powercoat them, you can use an infrared (electric or propane) heater and bake them a little segment at a time. Works in a pinch.
regarding 1in shock bolt: the shocks hold the suspension in droop; if the vehicle catches air it needs to hold the force of the (uncompressed) spring + all the force of max damping.
Stoked on this build! Had to comment on 2 things 9:23 Classical Music with piano was perfect for these lapses. 9:40 "in a TURN of eVENTS, that sounded FAN-tastic" That sentence is pure gold
I look forward to seeing every video you do on these things. By far the coolest thing on UA-cam right now. I saw one video where they cut off the side skirts some for added clearance offroad, I hope you do something along those lines too 🎉👍
Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it. Camera work during the milling (25:39) was fantastic with all those extreme close-ups, and that drone shot in between the wheels is sick.
21:43 Dude.... to think that you guys have built dozens of machines over the years without ever buying a new sheet of aluminum is wild. I do kind of miss the old street sign gas tanks, though 😂
The music was very satisfying on this one. I like when you add stuff in stuff like the classical piano stuff. It just works. And no other creator makes your music or anything like it. So it’s refreshing.
Seeing you friends succeed and create over and over is so amazing. There are so many toxic people in major cities. Growing up in Chicago, most of my friends were against me. Secretly sabotaging my every effort to succeed and help my community. I have even been robbed by family, when trying to move forward. Keep moving forward.
Ahhhh Saturday morning Gring Hard video.. I have found my Zen. Your workmanship is Artisan level my man, you are now officially my favourite engineer who can also remove a blocked poo to boot. Would happily watch 4 hours of this and please move to my town in Australia. Thankyou too much.
Absolutely everytime guys!!! What a wicked episode :) I'm looking forward to the rear suspension one! I am also a fabricator myself, and i get excited whenever i see you guys drop another episode. Biggest of ups Grind Hard Plumbing Co. From a New Zealand Fan.
Watching Ethan's fabrication brain kick in is such a satisfying part of the videos. That extra time and little change on the mill completely changes the part and overall look. 👌🏽
The cinematography in this entire video was amazing. I was sitting her like, "Damn, these are some really awesome slowmo closeups on stuff, they really stepped up their filming game" then ya'll had to go and jump a drone with a humvee. Also a roadtrip to Alaska episode(s) sounds incredible to watch.
The spring rate for those HMMWVs are that heavy because of the design standards for use. One of those standards is being dragged out of the back of an aircraft in flight and then fall to the earth under parachutes. Sure, they're strapped, blocked, and chocked to an Air Force cargo pallet, but those things don't have any suspension or shock mitigation.
I love seeing behind the welding lens. Bright flashes are great but it's so hard to tell what you're actually doing. It perfectly compliments your last episode.
Been wanting to LS swap an Humvee for years! My first LS swap was in 2005. All the Humvees that I've found never seemed to get finished. Was very curious as to why.. and now we know. Power and ride is peas and carrots. Thanks for bringing us along!
I use to run a large scale metal finishing business, glad yall finally got a small set up to do small parts. Id recommend finding small kitchen oven off market place so you can hang parts. Those shock towers looks sick, I don’t think the powder was cured long enough. It’s hard to over cure, easy to under-cure.
Ideas Fellas: This “Pick Up V” could be the Tow Rig for the Monster Bat-Pod. You could take one of the many dead car bodies laying around and convert one into a custom trailer for the Bat-Pod. If you have another Humvee that isn’t working or is just for parts, turn that into a custom Off-road Trailer. Fully equipped with tools, 🧰 parts, tents ⛺️, water tanks like the Aussies use on their Over landing adventures. Great Videos as always guys. 🎉🎉
Everyone's gushing over the drone jump shot and rightly so, but it's the welding POV's that really stood out to me. Wouldn't mind seeing lots more of those!

I as looking for another comment appreciating that also 😂
18:48 I'd watch more of that!
@@SentandBentClips You should get a filter for your cameras so you can film closeups and see the arc on the welders and the arc droid
Yes we need more
Dude, an Alaska trip in the Humvee would be an awesome series. Hope to see it in the future!
pls do it @EdwinOlding @GrindHardPlumbingCo
That would be a fitting challenge for this machine
Alaska would love to have y'all, I just asked everyone up here and we all said come'on!

Looking forward to boosting this LS 🤟 Would you guys rather see a turbo or supercharger?
Supercharger, go for it!😎
Looking forward to Turbocharging my lawn mower with a stage 2
You know we all want to see both. Take inspiration from Crazy Carls Turbo system for the 12V. We believe in you!
Supercharger, all the torque🔥🔥🔥
I think supercharger for the torque and somewhat simpler build process. I think you could make entirely sufficient power without having to mess with hot and cold side piping and oil feed lines for turbos, and all that nonsense. Tuning should be a bit easier as well. Boost control done by pulley instead of fiddling with wastegates and such.
12:08
Has anyone pointed out the irony of things from the wall of destruction falling to create more destruction?
You can't write that kind of poetry.

Cutting grass with efficiency!
I just wanna shoutout a big appreciation for this channel being true to itself. I like that there aren't weird masculine moments, weird patriot nonsense, and just in general that whole "I make things so I gotta be loud/proud/obnoxious" mentality that a lot of building channels have. Grind Hard is like chilling with my friends while we build cool stuff.
Absolutely agree, these guys haven't changed their personalities in 7 years, despite their channel scaling so much.
Yep. Finally got around to subscribing. This is the vibe I like.
That is the perfect explanation of this channel.
Masculinity and patriotism are not bad things. Some people are just obnoxious and some people aren't.
you real for this
Ethan’s last jump genuinely scared me! You would think I’d be used to it by now but that is just crazy.
How did you see the whole video in one minute? 😂
@@Luca-gn3mp almost like he had seen it before the video came out somehow
@@BunzJacksonPatreons...smh
Tell Ethan to add some hydraulic bump stops. If those shocks bottom out it'll be a bad day.

32:50
Im sorry you did WHAT?! That was an amazing shot and a ballsy move! Shots like that are the kinds of things we come here for! 🤯
Build the camper and do the Alaska trip, guys. Do it in time to arrive there for next Fourth of July Car Launch! You WON'T REGRET IT!
Yeah, I saw that on tiktok and tagged grindhard a couple times, but we really need to see Grindhard launch some old unused shtt in the 4th of july launch!!!
Every episode to do with the Humvees has been gold
34:40 "I wonder if he is gonna come back and jump it harder"
Edwin "he will" 😂😂😂
100% haha. That is Ethan's personality in a nutshell haha.
In a "turn" of events, that's "fan"tastic! I got the joke, it didn't go unnoticed. 😂
the amount of design and thought on each part they go into these is just.... ugh that why i love this channel!!!
Such a sick build, but we need an episode of Grind Hard putting siding on Ethan's house!
I'm 27, I've been watching you guys for a couple years now and just recently bit the bullet and bought a mig welder, your content has inspired me to build!
North! To Alaska! -sing along if you know the words. All the best and thanks for having us all along for the adventure.

If you want to bake large pieces after you powercoat them, you can use an infrared (electric or propane) heater and bake them a little segment at a time. Works in a pinch.
You know what it is, Grind Hard has a Fast n Loud dynamic except Edwin isn’t an asshole like Richard Rawlings is lmao
