    There is something very satisfying about watching you cut the mini up and piece together a solution. It looks pretty dang cool if you ask me. I hope it works out to be a real great crawler.

  • @Dennis-lx9mo
    @Dennis-lx9mo 2 місяці тому +32

    The combustion temperature in a Diesel engine is higher than the combustion temperature in a gasoline engine, but the exhaust gas temperature is lower because the hot gases have expanded more - roughly 18:1 versus roughly 10:1 in a gasoline engine…. the expansion ratio is the same as the compression ratio.

      It is crazy how much I like all the builds Fab Rats looks cool but just big stock Robby's Bread van is really cool and a Jaguar Ram from Bleeping Jeeps looks better than I thought.

  • @UncleBildo
    @UncleBildo 2 місяці тому +23

    I was a little skeptical of your build early on. The further it progresses the more jaw dropping it is. With that wheelbase and all, that thing SHOULD be a goat, besides just looking awesome. Keep up the badassery!

    I honestly think y’all are building the MOST technical build by far. I love watching all ONX off-road builds but you are different..you aren’t just welding everything on..Rudy’s adventure and DESIGN..what you’ve done with the transfer case..the chain drive steering is SOOO much more innovative than the other builds. Awesome quality!

    @HillbillyHermitRC 2 місяці тому +3

    that rear fender... I wouldn't worry about that... call it "self clearancing". This is by far my favorite OnX build. Not so close second would be the Holy Grail. Only due to my love of the 12 valve. Your King Cooper is truly a ground up build. Really digging how it can potentially be a multi purpose rig. Not only a sweet crawler for all the trails yall have out there. I'm hoping you gear it with the possibility of high speed runs in its future. With the U4/KoH trophy truck style build. I imagine it will do quite well out in Johnson Valley. Or you could run with your Pops out in Baja. At the least it can be one hell of a prerunner for Sweet Caroline. Hope your Pops is taking notes on your progress and ingenuity. He could use that suspension setup on his Baja build.

    Yeah Rudy, you are really impressing the hell outta everybody! Your dad should be proud! I think a large part of your dad’s success came from everything else except the garage, like the beautiful scenery and the fun times that poor people live vicariously through so I would break up the build footage with you driving one of your other vehicles, just to cater to a wider range of viewers and make it easier for the wife and/or kids to watch so it’s not like pulling teeth to watch your channel when others are around.

    I liked how Zach was observing the shock mounting and questioned Rudy for clarification. It shows how he is engaged in the building process. Never be afraid to question the boss and maybe catch a miscalculation with a second pair of eyes. (assuming one is not blind in one eye, then it would just be a third eye) lol

    @jenBaker707 2 місяці тому +1

    the top of the strut mount is known to bend up from speed bumps etc. they make reinforcfement for that mushrooming of shock towers. Also the braces you built to tie in the fron tof the cage with the body in the engine compartment, well they add that brace to the convertable models. Also, we could use a that old block if you dont want it. we need a forged internals project motor.
