    I think one of the many things that made DED so great was not just their skills and experience but their friendship that made the show so fun to watch. Some of the funniest things I’ve seen in car related shows were in DED in their dialog with each other and when things didn’t go as planned how they handled it and would joke about things. You can’t simply pay writer for a show to give that kind of authenticity! I am very grateful to have been around experience this show! Fred and Dave are treasures in the Offroad automotive world and will always bring great value to those that enjoy their content. Keep up the good work Dave! 😊

    Holy crap. This video is amazing. Cam, you're killing it as usual!!! Dave you are so inspirational you only know the half of it. I will never ever forget the day you did the exhaust on my TJ, I believe we met maybe just sooner than this. You ended up hacking off the hushpower muffler on Tommys UA Bronco with fiberglass fenders and putting it on mine. I remember seeing this Bronco buggy on UA and thinking it was the coolest thing ever. Me, being an absolute UA nut, was absolutely shocked when you suggested this. Since then, I was blown away when you started co-hosting DED with Fred. Double blown away when I got to spend 2 week long trips in our 4x4s for UA. Since then it's been incredible to watch you grow as a person, fabricator and friend. You have done a lot (super jealous).... mini trucks, DED, King of the Hammers, Ultimate Adventure etc.... truly an honor to consider you a friend. If for some reason I know something about a specific subject that you dont know, my phone is always ready to take that call. Until the next trail I see you on, cheers dude!!!

I canceled my MT subscription the same day I found out it was cancelled. I've subscribed to both you and 4xFredWilliams because y'all are the best. Unsolicited I know, but you two as a duo are incredibly engaging. Ole Jeremy Clarkson is super talented, but he knows that sharing the screen with May and Hammond creates something even richer than him alone. I hope to see you two team up again, because its magic when you two are together on screen.

    Dude, I'm not into Offroad, 4X4s, Crawling or any of that stuff, but I was SOOO bummed when MT cancelled DED. As a car guy who loves building stuff and appreciates the hands-on, affordable approach to building whatever you want, you and Fred were really important to me. So glad to see you moving ahead and being positive and fired up. You and Fred are my absolute second favorite 4X4 dudes, just behind Moog and Marty at "The Worlds Best 4WD Channel!", Mighty Car Mods, AND you're a close second as funniest Dave Chappelle. I'm gonna' watch anything you do as long as you wanna' keep sharing it.
    FULL SPEED AHEAD BROTHER! Say "hey" to Fred for me if you think about it

    Built old hot rods most of my life. Started watching you fellas, now I have three off-road vehicles. Early Bronco for sand dunes, 72 Jimmy big block for trails in Michigan, 2001 Ram 3/4 ton standard cab short bed for trails in Kentucky and Tennessee. I was very upset when they cancelled Dirt Everyday. The only show left on Motortrend that didn't have a bunch of wasted time advertising products that most of us would never use. I hope a network has enough sense on putting you and Fred back on another show. Keep up the great work though.

I remember petersons 4 wheel and offroad back to 78 when some guy living on bliss road in Sarasota Florida had a brown and yellow custom bronco with the company Logo on the doors! He I believe was the original editor. Anyway. You Dave and Fred are awesome and I'm a real fan! I'll follow You, and him together or separately. I've really enjoyed the show. I also enjoy seeing you guest host on roadkill. My other favorite show. You guys, all of you have had a great impact on the audience. We are your friends wherever you go. Thats whats real! On roadkill they break down and a fan helps! Its great! That's America! Thats reality!

    I have been watching 4x4 shows for years. From Xtreme 4x4 with Jesse (RIP) and Ian all the way up to Dirt Everyday. I have learned so much but never really been able to apply any of it. Moving with the Military has always had me saying "I'll start my own build when we stop moving." Finally that time has come. I've been thinking of what to build and there are so many options! The important thing is watching specifically, guys like Fred and Dave, has given me the confidence to just jump in and start something. Im a shit welder but practice will fix that. Thanks for giving us newb's the inspiration and confidence to go out and have fun trying new things.

    Dave, what a great story! I can't tell you I was an avid fan but I now have the utmost respect for you and your SOLID skills! Your level of natural communication makes it easy to watch and enjoy seeing what you do. I was not really into 4 x 4s but fast forward a few years later and I now have 4! I have enough projects to fool around with that I have lots of content to explore lol. I really have learned (like you said) a bunch and have to thank you for showing me that it's not really VODOO what you do but it is possible for us normies. Sucks to hear about DED getting cancelled but when one door closes another one opens. Thank the lord for all you have and be ready for the next adventure! Wish I wasn't so damn far away but not too likely you would be down Texas area. If you do get this way someday in the future would be an honor to shake your hand and say thanks! Now for the car guy stuff.....I was a musclecar guy until I got the itch and now I have two vices.....4x4s and old GTOs. It's a sickness.. Anyways, thanks again and best of luck to you sir!
