00:01Oh, wow.
00:02I love this truck.
00:07Bronco's this nostalgic vehicle that has tons of history
00:10behind it.
00:11We're going to make the pickup truck.
00:14Let's try the brakes here.
00:17Holy cow.
00:19So Jerry, your brother, has gotten another one of our Jeeps
00:22painted in this green color.
00:24No.
00:25Every inch of it.
00:26Why does he keep doing this?
00:28Dad and Frank, I want both of you to sell it
00:30without having to paint the thing.
00:32We're on our way to play golf with a gentleman named Andrew.
00:35He's an avid golfer.
00:36We figure we'll take him for a round of golf,
00:38and then we'll show him Jerry's avocado truck.
00:40The Broncos are selling like crazy.
00:42Crazy.
00:43Especially crazy ones.
00:44You know, different colors.
00:45Okay.
00:46You know, the greens, the reds, the blues.
00:48All right, all right, all right.
00:49I get it.
00:50See you up there.
00:51It looks like he's not ready to make the deal.
00:54It's the first of a kind.
00:56You're going to be number one of the one.
00:57I'm looking forward to seeing it.
00:58Is that it right there?
01:00Oh, my God.
01:12They were supposed to deliver it on Saturday.
01:14He was like, hey, you know, where's that truck?
01:16The guy still hasn't received it.
01:17So I was like, okay, that was supposed to be like a really quick transport.
01:20So I was texting the dispatcher, and he calls me, and he was like, sorry to tell you, we damaged the cargo, and the car's destroyed.
01:26They sent me a photo of it.
01:27Damaged the cargo?
01:28Like, the entire front is hanging off.
01:30It's still on the trailer.
01:31Oh, my God.
01:32Clutch.
01:33He loves being at work.
01:35Good guy.
01:36Ashley and I have been really swamped lately.
01:38We're in the middle of moving.
01:40We're grabbing all of our operation from four different locations and condensing them into one big location.
01:46We're trying to get everybody moved in.
01:48Once we're all set up, the goal is out of this new facility is 140 cars a month.
01:52Oh, no.
01:53No more computers.
01:54Because we're so busy, if we ever want to see the kids, they got to come hang out with us at work.
02:00What did you do?
02:01No, you disconnected the monitor.
02:03All right, so I've got something else to talk to you about.
02:06Yeah, what?
02:07So Jerry, your brother, has gotten another one of our Jeeps painted in this green color.
02:11No.
02:12Every inch of it.
02:13Like, what kind of green are we talking about?
02:15It's like a just Jerry green.
02:16Okay, but it's obviously for a customer, and the customer paid for this paint job.
02:19No, it is not for a customer.
02:21This is like the friggin' blue one.
02:23Yeah.
02:24And the friggin' beige warlord.
02:25Why does he keep doing this?
02:27He really believes that people love this stuff.
02:28That's the thing.
02:29He really believes people love this stuff.
02:31You know, I try and manage my family as much as I can because my husband builds these trucks,
02:36and my father and my brothers have to sell the truck.
02:39Sometimes they go rogue.
02:41I don't know what they're doing, and it gets really frustrating.
02:44If you built out a regular Wrangler, built one of my colors that I know I can sell to 99 people, have at it.
02:50Deal happens.
02:51Deal doesn't happen.
02:52It's a car.
02:53We'll sell it.
02:54No big deal.
02:55Yeah, I know, I know.
02:56But when you painted these ridiculous, obnoxious colors.
02:57I'm gonna try.
02:58I'll talk to him.
02:59We'll try and like sort it out or, you know.
03:00That's the luck.
03:01Oh my God.
03:02We actually just moved in to this amazing facility we just built.
03:14Wow.
03:15Look at the size of this thing.
03:16So many cool cars.
03:17Oh my gosh.
03:18These cars are beautiful.
03:19Wow.
03:20I came to Florida.
03:21Everybody thought I was gonna just retire and fade away.
03:23It didn't happen.
03:24I got 50 years of car experience.
03:26My son-in-law and my daughter, they just can't do this without me.
03:30And look at this.
03:31Look at these.
03:32Look at these.
03:33Those six wheels are crazy, right?
03:34I think it's super cool.
03:35I don't know if I can pull it off personally.
03:36Okay.
03:37If I want to see if you guys will make me something one of a kind.
03:39Okay.
03:40Zach's my customer from Texas.
03:41He's looking to buy something that he could use with his family.
03:44We're gonna see what Joe can do for him.
03:48Nice to meet you.
03:49Yes, sir.
03:50Nice to meet you.
03:51Lachlan.
03:52Nice to meet you, man.
03:53So Zach wants to do something amazing.
03:54Okay.
03:55Incredible.
03:56That's a hell of a start.
03:57Okay.
03:58Something I could get from my wife that's not a daily driver but fun.
04:00I would like something unique that I could tell her nobody else has this.
04:04Okay.
04:05Without breaking the bank.
04:06You know, something that's not like an exotic sports car.
04:07A fun SUV she could drive to the lake or I could take on a ranch with my friends.
04:12It's also the wow factor.
04:14Okay.
04:15If you can do all that into one car, that's kind of what I'm asking.
04:18I love the challenge, dude.
04:19Yeah.
04:20I'd like the engine to be powerful enough to tow.
04:22I've got a boat.
04:23Gotta be able to tow.
04:24Smooth on the highway.
04:25These Broncos are awesome.
04:26The TRX is awesome.
04:27You pointed at these Broncos.
04:28Why don't you go and take a look?
04:29Yeah, these are extremely cool.
04:31So are these lifted and...
04:32Yeah, we go and put a five inch lift on them.
04:35This is sitting on 38s.
04:36The only downside in one of these, I mean, I don't think it's gonna be able to tow what you're looking for.
04:41Really?
04:42They're short wheelbase.
04:43You know, they're kind of underpowered as it is.
04:45What if we find a way to give it some more power and stretch it out?
04:48So like a pickup truck kind of?
04:49Yeah, I like a pickup truck, but I like the way these Broncos look.
04:52That'd be perfect.
04:54The Bronco pickup truck is a phenomenal idea for a bunch of reasons.
04:58It's a niche in the market.
04:59It's a hole that needs to be filled.
05:01The Bronco is this nostalgic vehicle that has tons of history behind it before and after OJ Simpson.
05:07And now we're gonna make it a pickup truck.
05:10Cool.
05:11Color scene.
05:12Something classy but unique.
05:13More like a retro style.
05:14Yeah, retro would be great.
05:15Yeah.
05:16We like the look of the Bronco.
05:17Yeah.
05:18Want to figure out a way to make it tow?
05:20And we make it a pickup truck.
05:21I like it.
05:22Just make sure it looks cool at the end.
05:23Tell them about 30 or 40 specific things that we need from you, so.
05:27I'm really excited about this project.
05:29I like where it ended up.
05:30Looks like we're gonna be doing some kind of Bronco pickup truck.
05:34Ford talked about doing one, and then they didn't.
05:36And there's a lot of excitement around it.
05:38Nobody did it.
05:39So I'm really excited to grab one and chop it.
05:41It was a great idea.
05:43I look forward to seeing this thing in real life.
05:45Thanks, man.
05:46Thank you for everything.
05:47Looking forward to it.
05:48I'm gonna let you down, man.
05:49See you later, young man.
05:50I'll see you, buddy.
05:51Thank you, buddy.
05:52Nice to meet you.
05:53You too, guys.
05:54I think you'll be very happy.
05:55I do too.
05:56Yeah, I do too.
06:07What Zach's looking for, I know he's in Texas, but this truck is perfect for Florida.
06:12We've got nothing but water.
06:13We've got beaches.
06:14We've got places to off-road, right?
06:15He wants to go to his lake.
06:16He wants to pack it up with his gear.
06:18He wants to tow his boat down there.
06:20That's every weekend here.
06:21We'll sell a ton of these.
06:22It's a perfect Florida car.
06:24Yo, James!
06:26Fernando!
06:27Come on over.
06:30Got a new project I'll show you guys.
06:32Oh, yeah?
06:33I got a customer who's got a unique request, something cool.
06:36I'm actually really excited about the build.
06:38You know, Jeep took the Wrangler and made the Gladiator, right?
06:41Yeah.
06:42It's basically a Wrangler with a pickup truck.
06:44Well, Bronco never made that step.
06:46I see where you're going with this.
06:48I got a guy who wants a Bronco, but a Bronco pickup truck.
06:52Imagine something fun.
06:53You're towing your boat or your jet ski.
06:55That's kind of what we're trying to make out of this thing.
06:57This thing's going to start out as a regular Bronco.
07:00We're going to cut it right down the middle.
07:02We're going to extend it and make it a pickup truck then.
07:05To reinforce the structure, we're going to put a roll cage in the back.
07:10We'll make it a permanent hard top.
07:12Then install the lift, some cool wheels and tires.
07:17And finally, we'll paint it one of those classic Bronco colors to give it a real heritage look.
07:24We're trying to do an extension, not just like plug in a bed on the back end and throw the wheels back there.
07:30I definitely want to extend it, right?
07:32And I definitely want to move this tire further back because I don't want to just have this big hanging thing on the back here, right?
07:38So I think we move the tire back.
07:40I like how close the taillight is to the tire.
07:42Yeah.
07:43But there's another element to this thing, right?
07:46That was a tow boat.
07:47I think we come up with a solution to give this thing some more power because we still want to be able to tow a decent sized boat.
07:52It is a pickup truck at the end of the day.
07:53All right?
07:54Sounds good.
07:55Let's do it.
07:56All right.
08:02So I want to chop this gold cage ASAP so we can start working on making some kind of time.
08:12Joe is an absolute risk taker.
08:14He'll grab something, chop it up, cut it up.
08:16And if there's a will, there's a way.
08:18It's all trial and error.
08:19So at the end of the day, we just got to figure out a way to make it work and then hope that it comes out good.
08:25Frankenstein mode.
08:35Take one.
08:36Marker.
08:37What about the sibling dynamic?
08:39I'm the oldest of the Eisenbahn clan.
08:42You know, it's quite some fun.
08:44So when we were kids, I would basically dictate what we did, what we liked, what we ate.
08:49We all followed Jerry growing up.
08:51Now everyone's working for our company.
08:53So, okay, tables turned slightly.
08:55But, like, not really.
08:56Because Jerry still somehow, like, shoves his opinion in there and, like...
08:59I actually bite my tongue a lot, Ash.
09:01I really do.
09:02Jerry doesn't bite his tongue.
09:03When do you bite your tongue?
09:04Biting my tongue right now.
09:06Sure.
09:13Hey, guys.
09:14What's going on?
09:15So, at the hospital, the nurse asking me questions.
09:18You know, they bring me in.
09:19Oh!
09:20Peek-a-boo!
09:21What's up?
09:22We're just discussing your father's heart surgery.
09:24What do you mean, heart surgery?
09:25Well, he went to go get a stent today, so last night he decided...
09:28He went to go get a stent today?
09:29Yeah.
09:30I didn't know either, so...
09:31I didn't know that.
09:32Why wouldn't you tell anybody?
09:33Hold on, it's way worse, Ash.
09:34So Dad decided, hey, I'm getting surgery at 6 a.m.
09:38Let me go drinking last night.
09:40No, you didn't.
09:41I did not drink last night.
09:42I had two cocktails and two beers.
09:44He pre-gamed surgery.
09:47My dad will never stop going out.
09:49Any time you try to have that conversation, like,
09:51Dad, why don't you stay in tonight?
09:53Why don't you stay in tonight?
09:55He blows up.
09:57Listen, I could have died this morning.
09:59Yeah, because you were drying last night.
10:01Should I not have a last drink?
10:03My kids try to baby me.
10:05I'm not a baby.
10:07I'm an adult and I'm a partier.
10:09I like to go out.
10:10That's who I am.
10:11I'm a wiggle-waggle type of guy.
10:13And I like doing things.
10:14You feel good?
10:15You feel okay?
10:16I feel great.
10:17I feel great.
10:18I really do.
10:19Oh, sure, healthy.
10:20I came here with purpose.
10:21Jerry, I actually have to talk to you about something.
10:23About what?
10:24Ooh.
10:25Come on, let's go.
10:26They don't need to hear your business.
10:27Let's go over here.
10:28Hold the lock.
10:30He's in trouble.
10:31No doubt.
10:32James, you're licensed.
10:47Let's talk about this extension.
10:49But here's what I need a decision on.
10:52Cut here or here?
10:55I'd say go with something we know.
10:58Make our own little lift.
10:59Normally when we cut and stretch a truck, we cut the frame and the body in the same spot.
11:03So when you separate, whatever you do, you extend them both the same, everything lines up.
11:07In this case, we're talking about cutting the body and the frame in two different places.
11:12There's like a million ways that this could not work out.
11:16There's a lot going on right there.
11:18We got this body line, this body line.
11:21It meets at this body line, and then it ends there.
11:28The Broncos are so hot.
11:30Take a look at the seat.
11:31It's one of the more aggressive builds that we've done with a Bronco.
11:33Let me think about it.
11:34It looks like he's not ready to make a deal.
11:36Now I just want to see if the framework holds together in a real towing scenario.
11:40If not, it'll be terrible.
11:41The truck's going to literally break in two pieces.
11:45Ooh.
11:46What the f*** was that?
11:56So.
11:57So.
11:58There is a green Bronco sitting outside.
12:01It's avocado.
12:02It's a great selection.
12:04It is a color that only you would love and put on a vehicle.
12:09Ash, every Instagram post has an avocado in it.
12:12It's the most popular thing right now.
12:14That color is a win.
12:15Okay.
12:16You're comparing emojis having money in house for a vehicle.
12:18I'm sorry.
12:19It doesn't work.
12:20What are you going to do?
12:21I'm going to paint one eggplant because that's the next popular emoji.
12:23Stop it, Jerry.
12:24Listen to you.
12:26People want to see avocado green.
12:29It's a fact.
12:30I can say that that post will sell two, three, four trucks in the next coming weeks.
12:37I love your creativity, but you have to stop doing it because it's not on your dime.
12:41It's done with, okay?
12:42This is the last time we talk about it, all right?
12:44This is your last guacamole.
12:47I make it one of my responsibilities to keep my family's antics away from everything that my husband has on his plate.
12:54You know, in this particular situation, I'm hoping Frank and my father can clean up Jerry's mess.
13:00Okay, so for the two of you, Jerry has this Bronco parked outside.
13:04I'm sure everybody's seen it.
13:05We're going to try and keep the color that it is.
13:07Dad and Frank, I want both of you to tag team the deal.
13:10You know, sell it without having to paint the thing.
13:13Oh, we're definitely selling.
13:15Okay?
13:16I have stuff to get back to.
13:17I love you guys.
13:18Love you, too.
13:19I'll see you later.
13:20All right, bye.
13:21Love you.
13:22It's 5.30.
13:23Why don't we go out for some cocktails?
13:24It's happy hour.
13:25Just like...
13:26Wow.
13:30Here's what I need a decision on.
13:32Cut here.
13:34Or here.
13:37I'd say go with something we know.
13:39Know what we know.
13:40Yeah.
13:41We know how to cut here and extend.
13:42We know how to cut there and extend.
13:43The new project at that moment is going to be to fabricate all this, to close in a wheel well.
13:47This is going to be side of truck.
13:49I'll cut it in half.
13:50I'd say half.
13:51Two boats.
13:52Remember, we're going to have to put the back together again.
13:53I know.
13:54All right, so we've decided...
13:56Is this body ready to come off?
13:58Yes.
13:59Up we go.
14:00Let's do it.
14:01Now let's figure out exactly where we're going to cut the frame.
14:03Lift off.
14:04Oh, yeah.
14:05Today is the extension, right?
14:07The body is going to come right off the frame.
14:09And we're going to start with the frame.
14:11The frame is going to be your guidebook.
14:12Shop the frame.
14:13We're going to extend it.
14:14We're going to figure out how far we can go.
14:16Get as much space as we can.
14:20This whole mounting point here holds the axle.
14:23All the control arms are attached here.
14:25The plan is, so we don't have to mess with any of this, is to start right here after the bracket.
14:29Yeah.
14:30And cut clean through.
14:31Same thing on the other side.
14:32Cut clean through.
14:33Straight shot.
14:37I'm extending the wheel base.
14:39So the axle's moving back.
14:40So every inch I extend the bed and the frame.
14:43I also have to extend the drive shaft because the drive shaft's going to connect your transfer case to your axle.
14:49So if I can't get 16 inches there on a drive shaft that's going to work, I can't extend it that much.
14:56I've got to stop at like 10 or 11 inches.
14:5810 is like, eh, we extended it.
15:0016 inches is like you did it nice.
15:05This drive shaft is short.
15:10These flanges just happen to match the ones on a gladiator.
15:12If I can swap out a gladiator drive shaft, then I can get 16 inches there.
15:17You didn't rip this out of a car, did you?
15:19I'm not telling.
15:24So we have 11 inches, right?
15:26It's not even that much of a difference.
15:28You can't get another five inches out of this?
15:31Pull five inches on that.
15:32Yeah, go ahead.
15:34Go from here to there.
15:35Just see if you got 16.
15:36You got 16.
15:41So this one fits.
15:43We'll be fine.
15:44Right?
15:45We'll be fine.
15:46Slide this drive shaft under the car.
15:48We got super lucky with this truck because a gladiator drive shaft bolts right up.
15:52Right?
15:53It gives the extra distance that I need.
15:55But that means every time I want to do these, I need to find a gladiator drive shaft.
15:59That's a problem for another day.
16:01This solves the problem for this truck.
16:03That means I can cut this thing and keep going.
16:06Start working her back together again.
16:17So the bridge I'm going to add for the 16 inches of frame I'm going to make up,
16:21we're going to go two feet long so we can lap over on both sides.
16:24And we're going to go with quarter inch steel.
16:25And we're going to box it on the sides, on the top, all the way around.
16:29So now the frame is that box that we're making.
16:34Then we're going to move over to the body.
16:35Separate it.
16:38Let's take the two pieces, put it on our new longer frame, and start connecting the dots.
16:47Come down a little bit up front.
16:49You're good. You're good. Just stop.
16:50Okay. That's the pickup truck.
16:51Boom.
16:52That was the job.
16:53That was the job.
16:54Close that in.
17:07How are we ready?
17:08I'm ready.
17:09Don't look ready.
17:10I'm ready.
17:11I'm ready.
17:12Open it up.
17:13We're on our way to play golf with a gentleman named Andrew.
17:16I met him through social media and he's an avid golfer.
17:19We figured we'd take him for a round of golf and then we'll show him Jerry's avocado truck.
17:24Open it up.
17:25I need directions.
17:26Give me a phone.
17:27Give me a phone.
17:28Go ahead.
17:29Go ahead.
17:30Directions to where?
17:31Navigate the 2750 Southwest 75th Ave, Davie, Florida.
17:34Let's go.
17:35I need directions.
17:37And you canceled it.
17:38I did?
17:39I dropped.
17:40Just drive.
17:41Just drive.
17:42I got it.
17:43I'm going to do it on my phone, all right?
17:44Okay.
17:45Exciting.
17:46Let's go and do this.
17:47This truck is gorgeous.
17:48I think this guy's going to buy it.
17:50I think the way we got to do it is meet, greet, qualify.
17:55While we golf, we'll see how good of a pro he is.
17:58I don't know if we want to embarrass him.
18:00You think that we should purposely try to lose to him or try to beat him?
18:05Well, I got bad news for you, Frank.
18:07If he knows how to play golf at least a little, we're going to lose no matter what.
18:12All right, baby.
18:17We're coming up to the golf course.
18:19There it is.
18:20Davie Golf Club.
18:22Look at this.
18:23Perfect.
18:24Okay.
18:25Where are we going to park?
18:26Maybe I should park right here.
18:28I think you got to go back that way.
18:30We're going to park right over here.
18:32Dad, can you just park somewhere?
18:34All right.
18:35I'm going to park.
18:36Christ Almighty.
18:37Let's make it so people can see it.
18:38Yeah, right.
18:39Yeah.
18:40Okay.
18:41Take two spaces instead of one.
18:43Losing his mind.
18:45Let's see how this thing fits in there.
18:56I'll let it fly.
18:58Come on over.
19:00Here's what we're trying to get done today.
19:02We want to get this thing to where we can test drive it before we get it into paint.
19:06The guy buying this thing wants to tow boat, so we want to test the tow capacity.
19:10The steps to get this thing from here to test drive are bed.
19:14Let's get the bed.
19:15Let's get the bed all finished up.
19:16Let's tack in this whole thing.
19:17Okay.
19:18Nelson's going to make an inside skin and an outside skin on that empty spot that we created
19:22behind the doors.
19:23Willie and Vlad are going to knock out the fenders and the bodywork on the side.
19:27And then sensors, wire extension.
19:29Okay?
19:30Remember, it's done by two.
19:31Okay.
19:32Rock and roll, guys.
19:33All right.
19:34So the Bronco's already a convertible light truck, right?
19:37And we're going to make it longer.
19:39The longer we make it, the more it's going to want to bend.
19:41We're going to want this thing to tow.
19:43We don't want it to bend at all.
19:44So we've got to beef this thing up.
19:45We've got to make it really, really strong.
19:47So let's get the measurements for this square here.
19:50Okay.
19:51Cut that square.
19:52Bed here.
19:55All right.
19:56If you want to start welding this thing in, you know what to do.
20:00Tow capacity is calculated by wheelbase length and the weight of the vehicle.
20:04We already stretched the wheelbase, which is going to help us a lot when it comes to tow
20:07capacity.
20:08But we've got to make it a little heavier, because when you're running down the highway
20:11and the boat starts swinging, you don't want the tail wagging the dog and the truck going
20:14all over the place.
20:15So we're killing two birds with one stone here, right?
20:17We've got to make the pickup truck bed.
20:18Ordinarily, we'd go with a real thin sheet metal.
20:20We're going to go with a real heavy gauge metal, because we want to add some weight to this truck.
20:25Looks like we could cut, trim a little bit there.
20:29We've reinforced it, but we want to make sure that actually we can tow.
20:32Right?
20:33If not, it'd be terrible.
20:34Trucks are going to literally break in two pieces and be a disaster.
20:36There he is.
20:37Stop.
20:38Stop.
20:39You must be Andrew.
20:40I am.
20:41Frankie.
20:42Andrew.
20:43Pleasure to meet you.
20:44Jerry.
20:45Nice to meet you.
20:46Jerry, nice to meet you.
20:47Jerry, nice to meet you.
20:48Jerry, nice to meet you.
20:49Jerry, nice to meet you.
20:50We're a little bit late, mostly his fault.
20:51A little bit my fault.
20:52I think we've got to play.
20:53I don't have that much time.
20:54What are you using?
20:55I'm using a nine iron.
20:56All right.
20:57Let's go.
20:58Nice shot, bro.
21:00All right, I'm up.
21:01Go ahead.
21:02Oh.
21:03That was good.
21:04You hit that guy's house.
21:05I think it's still up.
21:06You might be able to play it.
21:07Okay.
21:08I got it right in the water.
21:09Alligators are going to be eating a lot of balls here.
21:12To the untrained eye, it looks like I've never played golf before, but I do it on purpose.
21:15When I'm playing with a client, I definitely do not want to win.
21:16Six.
21:17I want to be the guy that, oh my God, you're a great guy and you're a great player.
21:20I'm the worst golfer.
21:21And then I try to sell my car.
21:22What is this?
21:23A par what?
21:24Seven?
21:25Part four.
21:26Four?
21:27Four?
21:28Four?
21:29Four?
21:30Four?
21:31Four?
21:32Four?
21:33Four?
21:34Four?
21:35Four?
21:36Four?
21:37Four?
21:38Four?
21:39Four?
21:40Four?
21:41Four?
21:42Four?
21:43Four?
21:44Four?
21:45Four?
21:46Four.
21:47You made it, yeah?
21:48Yeah, it's on the right side of the green.
21:49Wow, nice.
21:50We sell a lot of Broncos.
21:52The Broncos are so hot.
21:53Uh-huh.
21:54They're selling like crazy.
21:55Crazy.
21:56Especially crazy ones.
21:57You know, different colors.
21:58Okay.
21:59You know, the greens, the reds, the blues.
22:01All right, all right, all right.
22:02I get it.
22:03See you up there.
22:04It looks like he's not ready to make a deal.
22:06So me and Frank gotta figure out what we have to do to get him to get interested in that
22:11truck.
22:15We're gonna have to butt this up.
22:16This is gonna fit just fine here, but then you gotta love these two together.
22:33The magic I need from you is making this and this look like they were born together.
22:38And you can do the whole thing in like six hours?
22:40Can't promise you six, but I can promise you I can get you pretty decent.
22:45Let me get you something going.
22:46It's all you, homie.
22:48I don't want to go much further on this build until I can prove it can tow.
22:53My theory is if you extend the wheelbase, it'll tow a lot better.
22:57So we've got the frame extended.
22:58We're gonna put this truck together and do a test tow.
23:01Did we get the goal done or did we just waste three days extending a frame?
23:08Where's your ball?
23:09My ball's right here.
23:10I just gotta pitch it up.
23:11Go ahead.
23:12What number is that?
23:13I don't know.
23:14I think it's like eight or nine.
23:15We'll figure it out later.
23:17Andrew hasn't loosened up yet.
23:19So we gotta rethink of what we're doing over here and we gotta get this guy to warm up.
23:23Dad, what do you think?
23:24Time for a little prosciutto?
23:25I think we should have some prosciutto and maybe a shot of the-
23:27Andrew, a little hungry?
23:28Prosciutto?
23:29Yeah.
23:30Bought a little prosciutto?
23:31I'm down.
23:32Why not?
23:33Let's try it.
23:34Oh, yeah.
23:35It's a celebratory salute.
23:36Interesting.
23:37Salute, gentlemen.
23:38Old gods and the new.
23:39I only gotta convince him three things.
23:41Number one, I'm a great guy and he's gonna like me.
23:44You got more?
23:45Don't be sad, you got super sad.
23:48Number two, Papa and I, you ain't gonna have a better time with anybody.
23:52Oh, I love you.
23:54What you got now?
23:55Mortadella.
23:56I love this.
23:58You really think you should be eating mortadella with your heart condition?
24:00I'm starving.
24:01And number three, good wine.
24:04It's what we do.
24:06Delicious?
24:07I can't say I've ever drank wine on the golf course from the bottle before, but there's
24:10something about it.
24:11There's something about it.
24:12Oh, that is good.
24:14Oh, yeah, baby.
24:17Got him right where we want him.
24:18He's ready.
24:19Oh, yeah.
24:20He's ready.
24:21Prime.
24:22Follow us.
24:23All right.
24:24We got something we want to show you.
24:33Wow.
24:34Brother.
24:35This is crazy.
24:37Were we kidding?
24:38That is actually a really dope color.
24:40He likes the color.
24:42Take a look at this scene.
24:43Look at this.
24:44Look at this gorgeous.
24:45Power boards.
24:46Custom leather interior.
24:47All marine grade leather.
24:48What does that mean?
24:49That means you can get rained on for 72 hours.
24:51You won't lose a stitch, sir.
24:53Let me show you something.
24:54This is special.
24:55You're right.
24:56Look at this.
24:57That's it?
24:58That's it, baby.
24:59I mean, come on.
25:00It's one of the more aggressive builds that we've done with a Bronco.
25:03Yeah.
25:04You know, the why we like this one for you is it's Miami ready.
25:07Look at the color.
25:08It's absolutely a showpiece.
25:09No, there's no doubt.
25:10There's no doubt that it's ready to go as is.
25:11Let me think about it.
25:12Let me do my research and then I'll get back to you tomorrow.
25:14Okay.
25:15And if we do it tomorrow, Frank will buy your bottle and roll back.
25:17Appreciate it.
25:18Good talking.
25:20Thank you, guys.
25:21That was awesome.
25:22Appreciate it.
25:37You're my backup camera.
25:39All right.
25:40Come back.
25:42All right.
25:43Perfect.
25:44Right there.
25:45Perfect.
25:46Look at that poor back end.
25:49She's just completely compressed.
25:52I mean, we can all agree she needs a lift in the back here, right?
25:56Our customer mentioned he wants to tow.
25:58He wants to tow a boat, tow a couple of jet skis.
26:00So we set up this little test for the tow capacity.
26:03Tow capacity on a stock Bronco is 3,500 to 4,000 pounds.
26:08I'm hoping to get to 7,000 pounds.
26:10Extending the wheelbase, bringing that axle further back closer to the hitch,
26:13and adding some weight to the vehicle with all the steel and reinforcing I'm doing,
26:16that helps a lot.
26:17So now I just want to see if the framework holds together in a real towing scenario.
26:21If it does, awesome.
26:23If not, we're screwed.
26:25Let's see what this feels like towing.
26:27Hey, the frame didn't break into pieces.
26:41Let's try the brakes here.
26:44Oh.
26:45It's two together.
26:46It works.
26:47All right, you guys hop out.
26:48I'm going to take part for a spin around the block.
26:49I'll see you when I get back, all right?
26:50All right.
26:51All right, here we go.
26:52Here we go.
26:53Here we go.
26:54Oh, yeah.
26:55Holy, holy.
26:56Oof.
26:57What the was that?
27:00I could use a little more gum.
27:01You'll see what she does on a hill.
27:02Come on, come on, come on, come on.
27:07Come on, come on, come on, come on.
27:24It feels good with the frame extension.
27:26I can feel that it's stable, right?
27:27Right.
27:28It could use some more power.
27:29Definitely.
27:30It needs some more height.
27:31You feel the back sagging, right?
27:32Yeah.
27:33We'll probably put a four or five inch lift kit on this thing.
27:35Okay.
27:36When I get that top done, right, I'm going to seal that thing right in.
27:39I don't know.
27:40I don't know, Joe.
27:41The fiberglass top I'm making, it's going to be a permanent closed-in top.
27:44I think we should make it on open top.
27:48Look how great this feels right now.
27:50It's got this whole thing.
27:51You know, he's breathing the air.
27:53I mean, come on.
27:54This is, this is...
27:55I can't disagree with you.
27:57Yeah.
27:58This open, this open gig here, it's pretty good.
28:01There's like 20 reasons why not to.
28:03Mostly leaking water and maybe it's going to crack.
28:06My father-in-law is not an engineer.
28:08And he'll come to me with these requests and say,
28:10I got to have it, got to have it, got to have it.
28:12Riding into it with the top off feels great.
28:14I get it.
28:15We could find a way to do it.
28:16What if it leaks water all the time?
28:17You know what that phone call looks like?
28:18You know, that's not a happy customer.
28:20So that's why I'm sort of reluctant to do it.
28:22But he brings a good point.
28:23We're cruising around, tops off.
28:25I get it.
28:26Keep saying, you know, fun, beach, sun.
28:28What's better than taking the top off?
28:30We sure would make my life easier if it was just one solid driver top.
28:35Joe, Joe, you know we're in a business where nothing is easy.
28:38There's a way the only guy I know who can figure it out is you.
28:43All right, guys, so we've got a new project.
28:53The top, if we can find a way to make a totally removable top.
28:57There we go.
28:58That's what I was getting, actually.
29:00Bob had a good point yesterday.
29:02So now we're talking about a removable top.
29:05The factory in Bronco hardtop is kind of interesting, right?
29:07You've got two T-tops in the front.
29:09You've got one big removable section in the middle.
29:11And then you've got this big square that goes on the back.
29:14I'm going to try to leave the two T-tops and the middle one alone.
29:17All right?
29:18And do all the modifications in that back square.
29:23So this used to be back here, right?
29:25Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
29:27We've got this seam here, two seams, three seams, four seams in this top.
29:33That's a lot of seams for a little hardtop.
29:36So more chances for it to leak, right?
29:40You sure you can make a removable top and no leaking water?
29:46Yes.
29:47No water?
29:48This is Florida, buddy.
29:49It rains.
29:50No water.
29:51Yeah?
29:52Yes.
29:53I can fix it.
29:54This is a water issue.
29:55I like that we're going to retain the factory seal.
29:59To make that thing waterproof is pretty tricky.
30:01The body moves, it shifts, and you've got 20 rubber seals.
30:05But I think we could try to keep a lot of the OEM seals and latches
30:09and whatnot and just make it work.
30:13Pressure's on for Vlad because we're trying to paint this thing tonight.
30:39Yo, yo, yo.
30:40Hey, hey, hey.
30:41Hi, guys.
30:42How's it going?
30:43Good.
30:44How are you?
30:45Good?
30:46Brink, what are you doing?
30:47I'm in pain.
30:48What is that?
30:49You know, it does the muscle marron thing.
30:50I have some sort of an ailment from swinging a golf club, I believe.
30:54Why were you golfing?
30:55You're not even a good golfer.
30:56We went to sell the avocado.
30:58Oh, you took the truck out?
30:59Right.
31:00The truck out.
31:01Wait a minute.
31:02You just took the truck to go golfing?
31:03Yep.
31:04Or you took it out for a purpose?
31:05For a customer.
31:06He loves it.
31:07He liked the color?
31:08He loved the truck.
31:09Did you get any money from this individual?
31:11Do we have a deposit?
31:12Is there even a dime in-house?
31:14A penny?
31:15We didn't sell it.
31:17But we're not done trying.
31:19Unfortunately, we do have a couple expenses.
31:21There's the green fees.
31:22But most of the money is going to go to the cold cuts we purchased.
31:25Gabagool, prosciutto, mortadella, supersat.
31:27So, absolutely not covering the golf course expenses, by the way, nor the deli.
31:31Not even the prosciutto?
31:32None of it.
31:33Wow.
31:34None of it.
31:35That's okay.
31:36Okay.
31:37That's the way you take care of your brother and your father.
31:39I have extra mozzarella, too.
31:40You can have it.
31:41That truck needs to get off of this lot.
31:43So, until you sell it, which I hope you do, one of you take it home and hide it.
31:47If Joe sees it, he's going to lose his mind.
31:49And I don't want to deal with that.
31:51Two brains get avocado sold.
31:54As is.
31:55Okay.
31:56Love you, chain.
31:57Bye, I'll see you later.
31:58Bye, guys.
31:59I'm not getting money for that mozzarella.
32:00Oh, hey.
32:01We're trying to help the company and we get screwed.
32:03That's a fact.
32:13Romer!
32:16I got your late night special.
32:17Oh, stop.
32:19Okay.
32:20So, I'm thinking like a light, light blue, like a pastel, you know, heritage looking color,
32:25right?
32:26With a lot of white accents.
32:27Like that stripe right there.
32:28That could get it, sure.
32:30The hard top, white, sure.
32:32If you find any other cool spots for accents, give me some white.
32:35Everything else, blue.
32:36I'm really going to leave it up to your creativity.
32:37Beautiful.
32:38Yeah.
32:39Sounds good.
32:40Awesome, man.
32:41I'll see you tomorrow?
32:42Yeah.
32:43Yeah.
32:44I'll be done tomorrow.
32:45Right on, bro.
32:47I'm going to do the light blue, right?
32:50But just to give it a rough edge, I'm going to do it in the texture paint, that armor coating.
32:54That way it's got the heritage throwback look to it, but it's still tough.
32:58Look at this thing.
33:16Wow.
33:17It was great.
33:18Good job, man.
33:19Thank you, thank you.
33:20Oh, yeah.
33:21It looks really sharp.
33:22Yeah.
33:23Great work, man.
33:24You've got a touch.
33:26Thank you, bro.
33:28So she's back from paint.
33:30It's time to wrap up the details.
33:31Now it's the little stuff.
33:33The last 10% takes the longest.
33:34You need to button this thing up so it looks really pretty and it's functional.
33:37It's good to go.
33:40Wait till I set this thing on the ground, it's going to look like a totally different truck.
33:49Let's go grab all the interior for this thing.
33:54Oh, yeah.
33:55Yo, what are you looking for?
33:56Seat bolts?
33:57Yeah.
34:01Parts are here, right?
34:02Let me go find some.
34:03I'll do that back.
34:08We want to be able to tow stuff.
34:10It needs some oomph.
34:11This is the tuner.
34:12It's going to give this truck more horsepower.
34:14We're doing the intake.
34:15We're doing the tune.
34:16We want to give it more juice.
34:17The test drive told me that car needs a little more power.
34:20We're struggling.
34:21We're going uphill.
34:22We're still trying to keep this truck simple and affordable and repeatable.
34:25So we don't want to go crazy with an engine swap.
34:27You can get a lot more power out of an engine by doing a few simple things.
34:30You can give it a better cold air intake.
34:32We can run slightly larger injectors.
34:34We can do a tune.
34:35I think we can squeeze some more power out of this thing without breaking the bank.
34:38It started out around 300 horsepower.
34:40I'm hoping you get like 370, 380.
34:43380 horsepower is going to give me what you need to tow and get up the hill and make the
34:47car fun to drive.
34:50She looks pretty good to go.
34:51Good to go.
34:52We're done with this thing.
34:53Great work, guys.
34:54Honestly, it's a piece of art.
34:57Grab a little bolts, hardware, whatever out of this thing.
35:00Let's pull it all outside.
35:02So Zach came to us with a real vague idea of what he wanted.
35:05I'm hoping when he sees this thing, he's going to say,
35:07yes, that's exactly what I wanted.
35:10Backup cameras working?
35:12Oh, yeah.
35:18Joe and Jerry interview, take one.
35:20Do you often give Jerry just creative license to do whatever he wants?
35:24Yeah.
35:25We've come to a point now where we don't argue over every little thing.
35:29He comes to me.
35:30He's like, let's let America decide, right?
35:32Just throw it out there.
35:33Either gets a lot of action and sells stuff or it doesn't.
35:36Not letting me be creative is like telling, like, a caterpillar,
35:39don't turn into a butterfly.
35:40Okay.
35:41Let me run roughshod on your company, okay?
35:43Can we talk about the O.J. Simpson thing?
35:45He puts together this video, right?
35:47It's like, Bronco.
35:48What does everybody know about the Bronco?
35:50Right.
35:5194, right?
35:52And so he makes this video that is very O.J. Simpson.
35:56Guy's putting on a glove.
35:57There's orange juice.
35:58We put it on the internet.
35:59We immediately get banned on every platform you can imagine.
36:02That wasn't a good two months, I'll tell you that.
36:04No.
36:05Every day, Joe.
36:06Fix this.
36:07How are you going to fix this?
36:08It's like, I can't.
36:09I'm like, I don't care.
36:10I'm fixing.
36:11Just call 800 numbers.
36:12Figure it out.
36:13There's somebody there.
36:15Great video, though.
36:16Let me tell you right now, Zach.
36:23I've never seen anything like this, ever.
36:26I'm looking forward to seeing it.
36:27It's the first of a kind.
36:29You're going to be number one of the one.
36:31You're going to love it.
36:36Is that it right there?
36:37That is it.
36:39Oh, my God.
36:40Oh, the tops come off?
36:41Look at that.
36:42Wow.
36:43That is beautiful.
36:46Oh, my God.
36:47Wow.
36:48I love those tires.
36:49Oh, my God.
36:50And I'm blown away.
36:51Isn't that beautiful?
36:52The interior, too.
36:53Wow.
36:54What's up, man?
36:55How are you?
36:56Good.
36:57What do you think?
36:58Wow.
36:59That's beautiful.
37:00We started with the V6.
37:02We did a little tune to it.
37:03Put a little intake on it.
37:04Give it some horsepower.
37:05And then I cut the whole thing in half right here.
37:08This fender actually used to land on the door.
37:10We extended the frame, gave it another 18 inches, a longer wheel base.
37:14I jacked the back up about an inch more than the front.
37:17Give it a cool stance.
37:18Okay.
37:19Just give it some beef, right?
37:20Yeah, that's what I noticed.
37:21Yeah.
37:22When you pulled up, it's much bigger.
37:23Then I put a four-foot bed.
37:25Oh, I love this.
37:27This stays outside.
37:28Yeah.
37:29Then there's a hard top that separates the inside from the outside there.
37:31So we're getting a little bit of rain now.
37:33It's all waterproof.
37:34The inside can get wet?
37:35Yeah, it's all PVC like you have on your boat.
37:37Okay.
37:38And we put drain holes in there, too.
37:39So, I mean, if it really comes down, it'll all come out.
37:41It won't fill up or pool in the bottom of it.
37:43Wow.
37:44The top's totally removable.
37:45I made it in four pieces.
37:46We just kept all the original seals.
37:48I modified everything else.
37:49Yep.
37:50So it attaches back together like factory.
37:52I think it makes it.
37:53All right, guys.
37:54Let's go for a ride.
37:55Yeah!
37:56Let's go!
37:57Oh, my God.
38:00How many of these are you going to sell, Dad?
38:02I think we're going to sell about 10 a month.
38:05Nice, nice.
38:06Oh, my God.
38:07Oh, my God.
38:08Oh, my God.
38:09Oh!
38:10You're out!
38:12Don't fall out there, Jerry.
38:14Okay, almost.
38:15Almost.
38:18Oh, my God.
38:19I love this truck.
38:21Oh!
38:22Frank, get me!
38:24Jerry's filming.
38:25He's going to break his phone.
38:27Oh!
38:28Oh!
38:31Wow, I love it.
38:32I'm glad you like it, man.
38:33I love it.
38:34Let's go try something.
38:35I think you're going to be into this.
38:37I want to show you how this thing tows.
38:39All right, we're going to do a test run.
38:40All right.
38:41This thing weighs about 7,000, 8,000 pounds.
38:43That's perfect.
38:44We'll hook it up and try it out.
38:45All right, let's do it.
38:48Here we go.
38:51Cut this way.
38:54All right, here we go.
38:55Oh, wow.
38:57No big deal.
38:58Don't feel like anything.
38:59Nothing back there.
39:00No big deal at all.
39:01All right, so let's just get this thing up to speed here.
39:04Oh, I can't even feel it.
39:05Right?
39:06It's not even there.
39:07Yeah, it feels pretty good.
39:08I mean, we're up to speed now, and...
39:10I agree.
39:11Yeah, it's smooth.
39:12No tail.
39:13I wouldn't think this would tow something that big.
39:14Right?
39:17Oh, yeah.
39:18Plenty of nuts.
39:20I mean, you know it.
39:21You don't feel anything.
39:22This truck can pull like nothing.
39:23Yeah, I forgot the trailer's back there.
39:25So, Zack, have you hit every mark you wanted?
39:28I think so.
39:29I like it a lot.
39:30I'm impressed.
39:31I didn't think it would tow a boat.
39:33The ride's great.
39:34I love the colors.
39:35I think my wife's going to love it.
39:37We get the Zack official approval.
39:38I think you hit all the marks.
39:39Final Heist.
39:40Thank you, guys.
39:41Thanks, man.
39:42Congratulations.
39:43Retro!
39:44Thanks for having me.
39:45Thanks for letting us build the truck.
39:46That was awesome.
39:47Zack's really happy with the truck.
39:48So am I.
39:49This was such a cool build.
39:50We hit the target.
39:51We kept it under $100,000.
39:53I think this is something we can reproduce and sell a ton of.
39:56I think it's going to be a huge hit.
39:59Very impressed.
40:00Thanks, man.
40:01Very high.
40:02Very cool.
40:07Frank, interview marker.
40:09So, Frank, when you first started working, what is...
40:15Oh.
40:16Andrew wants to buy the truck.
40:19I knew it all along.
40:20This guy was taking it.
40:22Tremendous.
40:30What's up, Frank?
40:31Andrew bought the Bronco, baby.
40:34De-de-de-de!
40:36Wait a minute.
40:37Andrew who?
40:38He bought the...
40:39He bought the...
40:40He bought the...
40:41What are you talking about, Frank?
40:42I love you.
40:43I love you.
40:44Oh, the Bronco!
40:45Oh, Andrew!
40:46They bought the Bronco!
40:47He wants the Bronco!
40:49Oh, my God.
40:50That's awesome.
40:51I love that.
40:53All right.
40:54You rock.
40:57You know, he's a special person, my father.
40:59You just blew a $300,000 deal.
41:02What do you know about that?
41:03Everybody knows about that.
41:05You're going to find me a buyer.
41:06Stop it.
41:07Let's take a ride.
41:08This is the biggest test drive of my career.
41:13What is that?
41:14I have this idea.
41:15Take one of our trucks.
41:16We find a way to make it float.
41:17A customer called you and said,
41:18I want to turn a truck into a boat.
41:19No.
41:20That thing is never going to work.
41:22Just sell the thing.
41:24If it doesn't float,
41:25this would be a tremendous waste of time and money.
41:27I know!
41:28It's gonna be 15.
41:29Yeah?
41:30I'm not going to hate!
41:31Oh, we got to pull them!
41:32Oh, we're going to pull them!
