You branched out to do what makes you happy. If whatever you are building for your channel isn't fun, don't do it. We can learn from you both in shop and on the trails. Do what makes feeds your soul, your positivity is why so many people love you.
Well that’s a bummer. I wanted to see you win again! That being said build what you want because we will watch whatever you build. You by far are the best do-it-yourself car guy out there hands down. Keep putting out great content and they will watch!
Thank you for the clarification. Glad you want to keep your channel in the direction you want to go. Seen too many other channels bend to the whims of the algorithm, so sad. Love the in depth explanation on the way you do various steps. Thanks for sharing.
Takes the money . Buys a lift . Rorys crew builds the car . Spends the rest of the money going wheeling over the summer .. Mad respect to the rest who pulled threw .. looking forward to the video release of who has to pay back the 20k
Im one of the subscribers that will watch every video regardless of what the content is about. I respect the fact that youve stopped building it before you started to hate the build. Youve gotta build stuff that youre passionate about.
Build it the way it brings you the most joy. But PLEASE put painted flames on the side and a licorice rope dispenser in it when your done... Party on Colt!!!!!
Colt as I said in the original video, I appreciate the style and content of the videos you and your wife are putting together. I think you have a great balance of sharing your builds and your adventures. As stated in the best movie to feature a pacer, party on and we'll enjoy your adventures together. I especially appreciate the Bible verses at the end of the videos as the walk with the Lord is always on the right path!
I enjoy seeing things like wrecker builds spread among the 4x4 build community but actually getting some unique original ideas that produce possibly the next trend is just as fun to see. I'm excited to see what you come up with and the variety new/different ideas will bring to the channel. Don't let outside pressure ever push you into cookie cutter builds you're not into.
You clearly and precisely represent onX, Colt. People are rude to trails. Thinking I'd rather not share my knowledge of the hidden trails in my area.Too many believe it's a huge trash container or their mom is following.😊 Keep up the excellent content!
Last year I was obsessed with the s10 build but for some reason this year I didn’t follow anbodys build. Love watching you do your own thing. Keep it up can’t wait
I’m thinking this shift in direction will be more interesting in the long run. And the Pacer is still the coolest project on the tube. The adventure vids? It’s part of what makes this channel unique. Keep ‘em coming.
I knew for some reason, you don’t have to explain anything, you’re exactly right , you do you , and it’s great what you’re doing, looking forward to seeing some great,awesome builds
Colt, I followed you from the other channel because I REALLY like you. I love seeing Shana coming out of her video shell. I LOVE your builds, whatever they happen to be.
I'm super bummed that you're out I've really been enjoying this build but I'm pumped to see you get this build going in the direction you want to see it go. I'm very excited to see it become what you want it to become.
My favorite entry has to be the so over the top Bread Van. The King Cooper is a very close second but I just don’t see it as an adventure vehicle. Of course the way things went last year Ian will probably set up a challenge that the Bread Van will physically not fit and it will lose.
Finally!!! Onx build challenges are cool and all but I don’t really care. I’d so much rather watch budget rusty truck build. 99% of people watching aren’t going to build pacers or mini coopers on 37’s. What I think most people who are watching your channel and similar channels are more interested in is getting inspiration for the things we actually have the skill and pocket to build ourselves.
Hate that you had to drop out. I missed a ton of things last year when I injured my back (including the build challenge) and it was the worst. A 2-wheel drive vehicle would definitely have struggled, but I would have gladly given you a tug with the ol’ kinetic rope where necessary. Glad you’ll still be out there in Arizona with the crew. 😀🤘🏻
While we're disappointed (in a way) we're glad you've decided to follow your heart and build it for what you originally intended. Thanks for your honesty, that's why you're my favorite off road builder. Keep on Chooglin brother.
There's no shame in dropping out with legitimate reasons. You just keep making videos, and I'll keep watching them. All of your fans, are wishing you the best! See ya on the next video.
I enjoy your videos, I love seeing you and describing Teach as you build. But the most all I like your videos because you're you and that makes it unique to this channel
Realising the pressure you were putting yourself under was a smart move mate, doing what makes you and your family happy is most important. And that old G60 Nissan Patrol I spotted in the background would make a great project, I had one as a young bloke, you can’t kill them, believe me I tried. Cheers from down under.
Just finished watching todays video. I like the idea you have with the direction of your channel. I am looking forward to what you come up with Colt. Sounds great and it is different that what others are doing. Good luck Colt.
Just a thought. If you want to go fast, stay light and be different, maybe consider a 2JZ swap. I bet nobody has made a 2JZ powered baja pacer. Whatever you end up putting in it im sure we'll all enjoy watching it.
Colt you have a great video presence and your how to videos are always brilliant. I hope you have fun building your race car and I hope you and Shana are enjoying your life. I certainly enjoy your video’s
100% Respect! You build like any of us enthusiasts would build. We can relate and your rigs always work! That's why we're here. Stay true to you and keep up the hard work!
Colt, has to be your most edit video ever....cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut........crazy. I just needed your first cut. I trust your judgement. I look forward to your future videos. Thanks!!!!!
One of the things I like about watching UA-cam is I get to watch content creators who are passionate about what they do and you can tell they have fun and they want to share their excitement. If this build isn't fun, then you made the right choice! And kudo's to Rory for putting family first!!!!
All the reasons you have given not to build the Pacer out at this time are valid for you and that's all that counts. Love watching your channel and then things you build because you explain what you are doing who you are doing it and why so it's all clear. Looking forward to seeing the pacer finished when you finish it the way you want it. You do it the way you want when you build it. I for one will be here, God willing, watching.
Go old school. Intercooled 2.3 Lima turbo and use the Canfield adapter to mate it to a small block Ford drivetrain. For desert racing, the AWD transfer case from an Explorer is perfect. In fact, for bombing across the desert, the TTB from a half ton in the front would be neat...
You could use a ford 3.5 na and turbo it yourself. They're basically the same as the 3.7 in the mustangs, but .2 liters smaller. They can also reliably hold about 500whp
You probably would have won the comp again. Don’t blame you for doing what’s best for your situation. The project is what I’d like to see, not the competition. Keep on keeping on
Colt, I learn a lot from you, and you are great entertainment. I’m with you no matter what way you go. To tell you the truth, my you tube channels are expanding and I actually do not want them all doing the same thing all the time. So, like I said, I’m with you. Hang in there!
Keep up the builds and I like the adventure videos just as much you’re informative and explain the ins and outs of things. Not sure about anyone else but I’m a bit tired of onx build challenges it’s starting to take away a lot of why I watch certain channels. All the best keep up being the best version of you.
In Australia, the LandRover Discovery (disco) is well recognised as being extremely capable with the right modification/upgrades and it came with an ally 3.5 V8 or diesel option. When modified, those V8's can produce big horsepower and don't weigh much. If you aren't happy building something, then don't keep going, I can respect that choice.
One thing you said, resonated deeper with me and I hope it did with others too When you said Rory was putting family in front of work ❤️ (on this project ) I work, Marine towing and salvage I know what it’s like to be sitting at dinner and have to go out on a call yes that’s how we make our living, but I am very happy that Rory is putting his wedding and honeymoon first somehow we get it twisted that working all the time is helping our family sometimes we just need time at home
How about a 3.4 from an older camaro with 3.8 heads and a supercharger setup from like a pontiac gtp? All factory stuff, so hopefully its not too hard to do on a budget.
You started your own channel to do your own thing and we're here for it. 100% support your call and I'm excited to see what's to come with the Pacer Racer
Hey Colt, much respect to you. My wife and I met you at the games, we’ve been watching you since you were with bleepin jeep. I still watch them but we follow you all the way. Continue what you’re doing and we will all continue watching. Our hearts go out to you and your family. Our prayers also on your pops passing. So Sorry, ❤
Man it's so important to make content that gets you excited it comes through the screen and encourages me to push forward on my own project. I'm more interested in seeing what you want to build!
Good for you for sticking to what makes sense for you! Life is always a challenge (as I face my own) - but for an engine in this I kind of like the idea of the Ford Ecoboost. All the ones I have driven are pretty peppy and just an example - the 2.0l is pretty solid as well as pretty available.
Back in the 90s, actually it was like 94. My dad had a pinto on tractor tires and 1 ton axles. Was so cool. And before I was born he had a Gremlin with a 383 I believe.
Thanks for the the update's update. Lots of girth in Girth's new direction, we will be waiting. Didn't feel any dis toward On-X. They have a great ambassador with you.
Well, I said it on the other video and I’ll say it on this one. I don’t care if you are building a dragracing toolbox, I’m watching!
Yup me too.
I'm here because Colt is here ❤😂🎉God 💯🙏💯💖 Blessing from Iowa , USA 😂❤ Just do what Colt loves to do
Drag racing toolbox 😆 😊....you could do a little bar stool one .
Colt for the win
Way to stick to your guns Colt!
You branched out to do what makes you happy. If whatever you are building for your channel isn't fun, don't do it. We can learn from you both in shop and on the trails. Do what makes feeds your soul, your positivity is why so many people love you.
Appreciate it, thanks for the support!
Well that’s a bummer. I wanted to see you win again! That being said build what you want because we will watch whatever you build. You by far are the best do-it-yourself car guy out there hands down. Keep putting out great content and they will watch!
On-X has their own channel, we came here to see what crazy ideas you come up with all on your own.
I for one really appreciate your honesty. Build on!
Thank you for the clarification. Glad you want to keep your channel in the direction you want to go. Seen too many other channels bend to the whims of the algorithm, so sad. Love the in depth explanation on the way you do various steps. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate that!
Hell yeah brother!! We are here for “COLT”…so keep doing YOU!
Takes the money . Buys a lift . Rorys crew builds the car . Spends the rest of the money going wheeling over the summer ..
Mad respect to the rest who pulled threw .. looking forward to the video release of who has to pay back the 20k
Im one of the subscribers that will watch every video regardless of what the content is about. I respect the fact that youve stopped building it before you started to hate the build. Youve gotta build stuff that youre passionate about.
I just want to say that you handled that explanation “most excellently”. Very classy. I will watch whatever you’re building or doing regardless.
Build it the way it brings you the most joy. But PLEASE put painted flames on the side and a licorice rope dispenser in it when your done... Party on Colt!!!!!
Definitely gonna happen
Colt as I said in the original video, I appreciate the style and content of the videos you and your wife are putting together.

Well said, I too appreciate the Bible verses.
I enjoy seeing things like wrecker builds spread among the 4x4 build community but actually getting some unique original ideas that produce possibly the next trend is just as fun to see. I'm excited to see what you come up with and the variety new/different ideas will bring to the channel. Don't let outside pressure ever push you into cookie cutter builds you're not into.
Smart man! You stepped back, took a deep breath and found a better, MORE FUN, direction. Keep up the good work.
You clearly and precisely represent onX, Colt. People are rude to trails. Thinking I'd rather not share my knowledge of the hidden trails in my area.Too many believe it's a huge trash container or their mom is following.😊 Keep up the excellent content!

Love your channel, Colt. Being genuine is the best part of watching you. I hope to meet you someday.
Knowing when to say no or quit is sometimes the hardest thing to do! It is good to set boundaries in your life and own it like you did! Proud of you!
I knew for some reason, you don’t have to explain anything, you’re exactly right , you do you , and it’s great what you’re doing, looking forward to seeing some great,awesome builds
Appreciate that!
I support your decision Colt. I’ll watch your channel no matter what you decide to build or do.
Myself, I love Suzuki Samurai’s and sidekicks!
Colt, I followed you from the other channel because I REALLY like you. I love seeing Shana coming out of her video shell. I LOVE your builds, whatever they happen to be.
Never complain, never explain, and you’ll go far in life 😎👍 sorry to hear about your Dad, tough times that change life. You take care Colt
Guess those trails in Colorado cleared your head and now able to make dicision best for you, that's cools Colt
Build what makes you happy. Because it’s yours
I'm super bummed that you're out I've really been enjoying this build but I'm pumped to see you get this build going in the direction you want to see it go. I'm very excited to see it become what you want it to become.
My favorite entry has to be the so over the top Bread Van.
The King Cooper is a very close second but I just don’t see it as an adventure vehicle.
Of course the way things went last year Ian will probably set up a challenge that the Bread Van will physically not fit and it will lose.
To quote Low Buck Garage: "If your not having fun you're doing it wrong."
Finally!!!
Onx build challenges are cool and all but I don’t really care.
I’d so much rather watch budget rusty truck build. 99% of people watching aren’t going to build pacers or mini coopers on 37’s.

You more than proved your skills on the S10 last year. Can't wait to see what's next. Do it your way.
Just finished watching todays video. I like the idea you have with the direction of your channel. I am looking forward to what you come up with Colt. Sounds great and it is different that what others are doing. Good luck Colt.
Thanks for the support!
Just a thought. If you want to go fast, stay light and be different, maybe consider a 2JZ swap. I bet nobody has made a 2JZ powered baja pacer. Whatever you end up putting in it im sure we'll all enjoy watching it.
You beat me to it.
2jz needs piston/rods if you go ge and wanna make more that 300ish hp and gte is expensive. Plus they’re heavy
Colt you have a great video presence and your how to videos are always brilliant. I hope you have fun building your race car and I hope you and Shana are enjoying your life. I certainly enjoy your video’s
I watch your channel because you are you. I've learned so much from watching your videos. Thank you!
Thank you, I genuinely appreciate that!
100% Respect! You build like any of us enthusiasts would build. We can relate and your rigs always work! That's why we're here. Stay true to you and keep up the hard work!
Build it the way you want! You’ve already proven you can do the On-X build challenge thing. I like creativity and I like variety.
Appreciate that, I'm planning to have some fun with it!
Colt, has to be your most edit video ever....cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut........crazy. I just needed your first cut. I trust your judgement. I look forward to your future videos. Thanks!!!!!
Subaru 2.5 , it's light and simple and small. Keep doing what you do for you and Shannon.
I have no idea about the cost, packaging, or power potential of the Subi. But just the though of a boxer powered Pacer is enough to vote yes!
I’m sticking with you - just don’t take too long starting a new build! I enjoy the way you go about them.
I live in New Mexico to Colt having some off-road two-wheel drive toy to race through the desert and Sand dunes is fun
One of the things I like about watching UA-cam is I get to watch content creators who are passionate about what they do and you can tell they have fun and they want to share their excitement. If this build isn't fun, then you made the right choice!
And kudo's to Rory for putting family first!!!!
Just as most of the comments have said, I am here to see whatever you want to build! can't wait to see where you go next!

You are doing a great job! You know what you are doing and I am going to watch. I can't wait for the truggy.
I'm excited for it too

I'm glad your following your heart on this build can't wait to see how it turns out
Colt, I learn a lot from you, and you are great entertainment. I’m with you no matter what way you go. To tell you the truth, my you tube channels are expanding and I actually do not want them all doing the same thing all the time. So, like I said, I’m with you. Hang in there!
Sorry to hear about your dad man.
I'm so sorry about your dad Colt. Hope you are doing ok.
THX for the update brother!! Hope u and ur bride have a Blessed weekend!!!
Good for you sticking with your guts! Thing will be sweet when it’s done!
As said before, appreciate your honesty and candor. Looking forward to what's next Colt, keep it up!
Appreciate it!
I will watch whatever you put out there Colt, you do you and I’ll be watching.
In the end, you gotta be you. I enjoy your videos no matter what you are working on 🎉
I’ll be here for whatever you got going on brother!
Keep up the builds and I like the adventure videos just as much you’re informative and explain the ins and outs of things.

How about a 3.4 from an older camaro with 3.8 heads and a supercharger setup from like a pontiac gtp? All factory stuff, so hopefully its not too hard to do on a budget.
I was thinking along the same lines! The 3.2L around 260hp all stock.
So sorry about your dad, I lost mom and dad same year along with friends. Keep up the good work
You're a fantastic builder dude...🏆
You do you...👍
We'll continue watching with excitement...🤩💖
Thank you 🤗
Love your channel! I want to see that Pacer fly. NM shout out your way. Keep building
Looking forward to seeing the Pacer project take shape as You want/can build it
Your adventure videos are pretty awesome too. I personally really enjoy them. 😊
Colt I appreciate that you stay true to your heart and build what you want and not bend to others. Matt
Thanks for telling as what happened as I was voting for You & Rory all along. Now, I'm undecided as they are so far all awesome builds.
We stand behind you no matter your decision. 😊
You started your own channel to do your own thing and we're here for it. 100% support your call and I'm excited to see what's to come with the Pacer Racer
Hey Colt, much respect to you. My wife and I met you at the games, we’ve been watching you since you were with bleepin jeep. I still watch them but we follow you all the way.

Staying tuned.
Thanks for two things, just being straight with us, and deciding to be true to yourself.
big prayers to you and your family i lost my dad in 2016 just know he is watching over you
It's all good I enjoy your channel no matter what you build keo on keeping on
Paul Cox's (fabrats) "Packrat" Willys wagon is looking pretty cool
Robby’s got the coolest build by far.
I come here to watch colt do cool stuff and learn us newbies up! That 9” chop? I’m now craving to do that for my TJ!
Heck I watched that other channel you were on, just to see what you were doing
Keep doing you... we want to watch what you want to build. Glad you didn't force yourself to continue in the direction you didn't want to go in
Thanks for the shoutout, and Coal Juice isn’t a bad vehicle name for my Bronco, but the people voted to keep “Bluey”. See you in Az. 👊🏻
It sucks to have to back out but I love your videos and can’t wait for what more is to come. Score is an awesome idea can’t wait for the go fast stuff
Didn’t “have” to back out he chose to.
looking forward the the Off-Road Racer Pacer!!
Baja Racer Pacer!!
Dune Pacer!!
Whatever you call the thing I'm for it.
I don't care what type of vehicle you're building Colt. I'm going to watch because I enjoy your content.
You got a lot of class, Colt! I'm not going anywhere!
All well-thought-out and well said, Colt!
In it for the long haul bud. New builds sound pretty awesome to.
Looking forward to you building this for the Baja.
I really liked your adventure videos, and all of your builds. Keep doing what you do.
what ever project you will be on will continue to follow you on your adventures
Love it all. Thumbs up isn't working so here 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 refresh fixed it thanks Colt
Back in the 90s, actually it was like 94. My dad had a pinto on tractor tires and 1 ton axles. Was so cool. And before I was born he had a Gremlin with a 383 I believe.
If you build it we will come ❤
Thanks for the the update's update. Lots of girth in Girth's new direction, we will be waiting. Didn't feel any dis toward On-X. They have a great ambassador with you.
