00:00Is everybody ready?
00:02Hit those horns!
00:04This weekend is one of the biggest events for Apocalypse,
00:07the Palm Beach International Boat Show.
00:10Last year, you did 15 trucks at the West Palm Boat Show.
00:13I would like to hit 25 cars.
00:15That's the expectation.
00:17If the entire family can play nice for this one event,
00:20maybe we could actually accomplish something big.
00:22How did you sell that show?
00:24The only reason you sold three was because I planned the entire show.
00:26Well, thank you for the planning.
00:30The new electric Hummer just came out,
00:32and we're gonna turn this thing into a monster.
00:34Once upon a time, the Hummer was the alpha predator of the off-road vehicle.
00:38That's what this thing's gonna look like.
00:40There is no kit off the shelf we could buy for this.
00:42We're gonna have to make everything from scratch,
00:44but we're the only shop in town taking the new electric Hummer
00:47and lifting it, making it awesome.
00:50This runs at 800 volts.
00:51Guys, be wary. Don't tear any wires.
00:53The orange ones will stop your heart.
00:56It's a whole lot of orange.
00:58See these cars out there?
01:00Fortunately, I do see those cars out there.
01:02Well, they're cars that we want to drive over.
01:04Oh, my God, Joe, stop!
01:06Oh, Joe, I don't like it.
01:08Does this separate?
01:26Yeah.
01:27It comes off?
01:28Yeah.
01:29Yeah, you need it to.
01:30The bridge needs to be that thick.
01:32Yeah, it's floppy.
01:34We're completely moved into the shop now, and we're actually taking along 20, 25 cars a week
01:40and building some cool projects.
01:42Once you weld this in, we can take the whole thing to paint.
01:45What is this?
01:47Joe!
01:48This is the executive seven-seater, bro.
01:51It has a rear seat in it?
01:52Oh, yeah.
01:53You know how I came up with this?
01:54Remember I was going to Orlando for that car show?
01:56Yeah.
01:57And I was asking the kids, we got two car seats in the back.
01:59As soon as you throw two car seats in the back, like, that's it.
02:01Car's full.
02:02I was like, I'm driving this gigantic vehicle, but I can't fit that many people.
02:06Right.
02:07I took the bench that used to be back here, sticking it all the way against the back,
02:11right?
02:12Then I took two extra driver seats.
02:13This is on a rail.
02:14You can go back and forth.
02:15You're riding in the back of the truck like an executive.
02:17Hop in there.
02:18Let me show you how executive it really is.
02:20I'm at Apocalypse because I have a customer meeting me here today.
02:23Every time I walk around here, Joe's always working on something new.
02:27And sure enough, a seven-seater 6x6, the family edition.
02:32It's what everyone always wanted.
02:34Joe knew it.
02:35This is so nice.
02:37Lay back in the 6x6.
02:39Right?
02:40To have a 6x6 and to have seven people in it with you, it's pretty awesome.
02:45I think you're going to sell the crap out of these.
02:46It's incredible.
02:47Yeah, right?
02:48So what's up?
02:49Chris O'Connor's here.
02:50He wants to talk to you about maybe building a new truck.
02:52Okay.
02:53I'm going to button up a couple of things with him and I'll catch up to you.
02:55Awesome, Joe.
02:56Everybody's seven-seater.
02:57Seven-seater.
02:58Seven-seater 6x6.
03:07Where are you coming from?
03:08I've been traveling like crazy.
03:10Yeah, where?
03:11Wine Country?
03:12Wine Country, Oregon.
03:13Oregon.
03:14Awesome.
03:15Land of the Pinot.
03:16Yeah, exactly.
03:17I'm Chardonnay now.
03:18Probably nothing six-track because if I take it out to Oregon, they're going to rip me to shreds.
03:22Is that the goal?
03:23You want to bring it out to Wine Country?
03:24Definitely.
03:25Oh, awesome.
03:26Yeah.
03:27What's the terrain like out there?
03:28It's a mud bath.
03:29Mud?
03:30Yeah, it's got to be able to hold up in some heavy-duty .
03:33Oh, you got to go big.
03:34Yeah.
03:35Big would be good.
03:36Chris O'Connor has been buying trucks from us for years, but Chris is definitely not our
03:40typical customer.
03:41The most recent truck was a retro-style Gladiator with a complete electric conversion.
03:47What's up, buddy?
03:48What's up, Joe?
03:49Wait till you hear what he's talking about.
03:50What do you got?
03:51Totally against everything I always get.
03:53So, bigger, better, high, you know, just a statement.
03:58I always thought you weren't into it.
03:59My big monstrosities.
04:00He's changed.
04:01Yeah, well, it's for Oregon.
04:03The vineyard, I want something big and high.
04:06Okay.
04:07Because we got to take, like, you know, people on tours through the vineyards.
04:10It's always raining.
04:12But in Oregon, you have to really be cognizant of the fact that they are really green there.
04:17So, we need it to be something that's electric.
04:20It'd be nice to make, you know, some kind of statement.
04:23Something that really turns heads.
04:25People are going to go, what the hell is that?
04:27Electric vehicle's got a bad rap.
04:29When you think electric car, you think something terribly underpowered, short range.
04:32But they've really come a long way.
04:34They're putting down 1,000 horsepower, 1,000 foot pounds of torque in Mom's soccer car that she goes get groceries in.
04:40And she can smoke you off the light in your Ferrari in her, you know, four-door sedan.
04:44So, monster truck gets you through the vineyards.
04:47Yep.
04:48Electric.
04:49What about the Hummer?
04:50I was in a Hummer, like, two weeks ago up in South Carolina.
04:53The thing was nice.
04:54The new electric one?
04:55Yeah, and it was fast.
04:56What comes stock on that?
04:5735-inch tires?
04:58Yeah, they run 35s.
04:5935s.
05:00But they're pretty low, right?
05:01Yeah, it was easy to get into.
05:03But, I mean, we could probably sneak in an inch or two and, you know, get 37s.
05:07You got to go bigger than 37s, Chris.
05:09How big can we go?
05:10Joe, 38s, 40s?
05:1240s?
05:1340s?
05:1440s sounds good.
05:15And I'm going to run 40s on a Hummer, you know?
05:17You can go a little bit bigger than a factory tire without having to do a whole lot.
05:20If you go too big, now we've got to make some room for the wheel to swing left and right.
05:24We've got to carve back some.
05:26You can do that on a regular pickup truck or a Jeep that I've dealt with a hundred times.
05:29I don't know what's back there in this truck.
05:31I don't know where that battery starts and ends, where there's, you know, high voltage wiring back there.
05:35You take a Sawzall into a battery, that's a bad day.
05:39Real bad day.
05:40But the problem with the Hummer is it's brand new.
05:42It just came out, right?
05:43Yeah.
05:44It's not a lift kit for this thing.
05:45It's nothing I can go out there and buy and, like, make it taller.
05:46That didn't stop us, really, on the Gladiator at all, so.
05:51Good point.
05:52Good point.
05:53Um, I can make something.
05:55Yes!
05:56I can make something.
05:58I don't know how tall we can go, but I can make something.
06:02So we're going to go, like, up to here?
06:04Up to here?
06:05Up to here.
06:06Yeah, why not?
06:07You're cool with that.
06:08Why not?
06:09Yeah, taller than Frankie is, like, taller than Frankie has to happen.
06:12Everything's taller than Frankie.
06:14You're okay, bro.
06:15I'm sweating.
06:16I've got my work cut out for me, but I get the direction.
06:19The Wine Country eco-friendly mud destroyer.
06:23Total.
06:25Some of the challenges of taking a brand new electric vehicle that just hit the market
06:29and modifying it is that there's nothing out there for this thing.
06:33We're going to have to make everything from scratch, piece by piece, and test fit it all.
06:37That's going to be fun, man.
06:38It's going to be crazy.
06:39It's going to be the biggest thing Oregon's ever seen.
06:48Wow, Jaris.
06:49What are you thinking?
06:50I'm thinking that I have these cars that were supposed to be lined up, and they're not.
06:54Seth.
06:55Yeah, coming.
06:56Guys, this way, please.
06:57Everyone over here.
06:58Are we taking the green hellfire?
07:00We're taking the green hellfire.
07:01Yeah, that's on the list.
07:02This weekend is one of the biggest events for Apocalypse in the calendar year.
07:07The Palm Beach International Boat Show.
07:09You're talking about $5 to $10 million speedboats all the way up to $50 and $100 million luxury liners.
07:18Over 50,000 people coming to this event every year.
07:22You're talking about rich-ass clients, so Apocalypse has to be there.
07:27And this year, I got permission to bring 10 sample trucks.
07:32This is going to be a big year for us.
07:34Let's convene over here so we just go over this stuff.
07:38So last year, you did what? 15 trucks at the West Palm Boat Show?
07:41Yep.
07:42We have a new facility now, a nice, big, expensive facility.
07:45I would like to hit 25 cars.
07:48That's the expectation?
07:50We need to make sure that we hit our target.
07:53Every year, we got to do a little bit better.
07:55This year, we got to do a lot of it better to help cover a lot of the new expenses.
07:58You know, with the move into the warehouse and all that good stuff.
08:01The setup allows for 25 cars to be hit.
08:04I love that.
08:05We're bringing 10 trucks.
08:06We should sell them all quick.
08:07Seth, talk.
08:08All right.
08:09Not our first rodeo.
08:10We've done these boat shows before.
08:12This year, it's going to be the best one we've ever had.
08:14A couple of reasons.
08:16One, boat trip.
08:18The new, improved 2024 Hellfire.
08:22Okay.
08:23Our biggest, our baddest, the juggernaut.
08:25Okay.
08:26Why don't we take the red one, too?
08:28We're not taking the red one.
08:29That's a nice truck.
08:30It's not on the list.
08:31But that's a nice truck.
08:32What about the red one?
08:33We're not.
08:34No, the green one's fine.
08:35We've already decided what cars.
08:36Exactly.
08:37But we should have a red one.
08:38It stands out.
08:39Me and Seth methodically picked the ones that will do the best.
08:41So let's just...
08:42I think you're wrong.
08:43That's a good idea.
08:44I think you're wrong.
08:45Why don't we take the red one anyway?
08:46Dad, I swear to God, today is not the day.
08:49Gary, I sold three last show.
08:52Are we still talking about this?
08:53I mean, I just want you to know I sold three last...
08:55How many did you sell that show?
08:57None.
08:58Zero.
08:59The only reason you sold three was because I planned the entire show.
09:00Well, thank you for the planning, but listen to me.
09:02You got a drink in there.
09:04He needs a shot of something.
09:05Will you stop going at me if I bring the red truck?
09:08Yeah.
09:09Then fine.
09:10We'll bring the red truck.
09:11Then you probably have to sell it.
09:12That's okay.
09:13I'm all right with that.
09:14I'll sell that thing.
09:15That's the spirit.
09:16That's what's up.
09:17Everybody get in line.
09:19We're going to put the cars up right now.
09:21We'll all be behind the wheel.
09:23Follow our lead.
09:24We got this.
09:27Back in, Dad.
09:28Be careful.
09:29Frank, stop.
09:30Dad, go.
09:31Pull it up front.
09:33Stop.
09:34Come on.
09:36Stop it.
09:37I feel like Jerry complicates this more than it needs to be.
09:40I'm just, like, trying not to freak out.
09:42I'm trying to hold it all together.
09:44Is everybody ready?
09:46Hit those horns!
09:49Let's get some cars!
09:51Yeah!
09:53Jerry!
09:54What?
09:55Gas is empty.
09:56Oh, my God.
10:10What's up, Daniel?
10:11What's up?
10:12Gus one, Gus two, Jesse, Elias, and Kevin.
10:16See Joe.
10:17You're going to like what we build with this thing.
10:19Today, we're going to get started on Chris's build.
10:20We've never done most of this stuff before.
10:23I'm expecting to be a lot of bumps in the road,
10:25and we're just kind of figured as we go.
10:27Once upon a time, the Hummer was the alpha predator
10:30of the off-road vehicle.
10:32Used it in the military.
10:33They even called one the alpha.
10:34Want to, like, re-embody all that old-school Hummer,
10:37you know, military look in this thing, right?
10:39I want it to be just ridiculous.
10:41Chris wants the hood of this truck to be taller than Frankie,
10:43so we'll need to custom design a lift kit ourselves
10:46using reinforced control arms and spindles
10:48that can support and lift the heavy weight of this vehicle.
10:51Then, for added height, we'll need to carve out the wheel wells
10:54to try to fit the biggest tires possible.
10:56I'd love to try for 43-inch tires if we can swing it.
11:00I want to give this truck some of that old-school military Hummer look,
11:03so we'll add a fastback and some fiberglass door panels,
11:06and since safety is key for the guests in Chris's vineyard,
11:09we'll create an exoskeleton that'll act as a roll cage.
11:12This is like a Mad Max situation here.
11:14This is not the Hummer you go pick up at a dealership.
11:16This is the Hummer that you pictured in your head
11:18when you were a kid, and you were like,
11:19I want to drive a Hummer.
11:20That's what this thing's going to look like.
11:22When I first started working here,
11:23I wouldn't look twice at an EV vehicle like that,
11:27but after we started working on them,
11:29just opened my eyes towards them,
11:30because the power, the torque, the response is just unheard of
11:33for any regular street car or production car
11:36to come out of the factory with.
11:38Let's get this thing up in the air,
11:39and let's get an idea of what that suspension looks like.
11:41Never seen one.
11:42There is no kit off the shelf we could buy for this.
11:44This is all going to be out of your brain.
11:46All right?
11:47All right.
11:48Let's rack it up.
11:49Yep.
11:50Oh!
11:51Okay, ready.
11:53Up you go.
11:54Keep going.
11:55Come on.
12:05Guys, be wary.
12:06Don't tear any wires,
12:07because the orange ones will stop your heart.
12:10It's a whole lot of orange.
12:12They make these cables bright orange for a reason.
12:15They've got 800 volts running through them.
12:17Just so you know,
12:18800 volts is enough to stop your heart dead in its tracks,
12:20and I don't want somebody to nick one
12:22with a razor blade by accident,
12:23and it'll just fry and cook them.
12:25All right.
12:26We're at that point, guys.
12:28Secure these things where you want to secure them.
12:30Yep.
12:31So we've got the subframe on four legs.
12:34We plan to take the car off of it
12:37and just watch these two separate ever so slowly.
12:39See what wires, what sensors, what hoses,
12:42what's pulling, what's getting tight,
12:44what's coming with it,
12:45and that's going to be the dangerous and tricky part.
12:47Keep coming down.
12:48Can you see it?
12:49Can you see it?
12:50Yeah?
12:51Yep.
12:52This thing stays that level.
12:53It makes me think that it's being hung by something in the middle.
12:56Can anybody sneak a peek on the top of this thing somehow?
12:58All the way.
12:59No wires stretched?
13:00Nothing spazzed out?
13:01No.
13:02And pretty good here as well.
13:04Okay.
13:05Put the pressure back on the legs,
13:07and let's bring these bolts down.
13:10This is your upper control arm.
13:12This is your lower control arm.
13:13This is the spindle.
13:14So as we bring this thing down,
13:16this spindle needs to reach the upper control arm, right?
13:19So this gap in here we're going to have to fabricate.
13:22All right.
13:23I think I figured out how to extend this thing.
13:26My idea would be, like,
13:27we can cut this thing over here and extend it.
13:30Any change in angle in this thing,
13:31and the car's never going to align properly again.
13:33Never going to align.
13:34So what I do is...
13:36So when everything's locked, I can cut it.
13:38Slice it.
13:39Slide this down the extent of the height.
13:41Yes.
13:42Lock it back in and weld this back together.
13:44Yes.
13:45Can we hack one up?
13:46Yes.
13:47You know we can't own any parts for these cars, right?
13:49Right.
13:50Anywhere.
13:51They're brand new.
13:52So no pressure on me now.
13:53No pressure.
13:54Go ahead.
13:55All right.
13:56Here we go.
13:57There's a reason people don't make these kits themselves.
13:59This spindle fabrication alone,
14:00it's going to take gusting between 30 to 60 hours.
14:03You're dead on.
14:04Yep.
14:05Very cool.
14:06If it doesn't work,
14:07I've just taken a $115,000 car and made it a paperweight
14:10until they start supplying parts for this thing.
14:13But if it does work,
14:15we're the only shop in town taking the new electric hummer
14:18and lifting it and making it awesome.
14:30Jerry and Jerry Sr. take one.
14:34What's up Jerry Sr.?
14:35What's up Jerry Jr.?
14:36Dad had a lot of advice and ideas.
14:39He didn't seem very interesting.
14:41He has great ideas.
14:43I love his ideas.
14:44The boat show is just not the proper venue for his ideas.
14:47I got Joe breathing down my neck.
14:49I got Ashley supervising.
14:51I don't need him to throw gasoline on the fire.
14:53That's the wrong color car.
14:55That's not the right build.
14:56Why is this car coming?
14:57Why is this car coming?
14:58It's an opinion.
14:59Okay?
15:00It's my opinion.
15:01But it's okay.
15:02From now on, I won't say anything.
15:04I don't want you not to say anything.
15:06Okay.
15:07I'm a good guy.
15:08Dad, you're a smart guy.
15:09Yeah.
15:10Who obviously did an amazing job throughout your entire career,
15:13but that career is coming to a beautiful close.
15:16Hey, 30 more years minimum.
15:27Dude, do you believe this space?
15:30That's what they're saying.
15:31They're clearing this out for us.
15:33It's the entrance.
15:34It's the entrance.
15:35And the first thing they're going to see is boat truck.
15:37Okay.
15:38So let's do this.
15:39Let's get the juggernaut from over here and back it into here.
15:43This location is stellar.
15:45It is the best one we've ever gotten.
15:47My man, Dean, hooked me up.
15:49Thank you, Dean.
15:50Dean.
15:51Hey, Dean.
15:52How are you?
15:53Gary, how are you?
15:54Get closer.
15:55Cut that wheel.
15:56All the way, Sethi.
15:57Dude, thank you for getting us in.
15:58This is the best space.
15:59This is awesome.
16:00You're welcome, man.
16:01This entrance is getting more and more popular, though,
16:04so we might have to reconfigure the space.
16:06I thought we had so many more.
16:07You only have until right there, Jerry.
16:09To where?
16:10Here?
16:11Right there.
16:13How?
16:14The entrance is getting more popular, man.
16:16We got more people coming in the door.
16:20Nightmare, Dean.
16:22I honestly thought all these trucks are going to be featured in the show.
16:25Now Dean's telling me we can't.
16:27We only got room for four.
16:29We're going to need, like, ten more spots, I think.
16:31Dean hooked us up with the spot, but we don't have enough room for all the cars now.
16:34What about boat trucks?
16:35Boat trucks got it here.
16:36We got to at least put it here.
16:37We're going to have boat trucks.
16:38Dean, please.
16:39Boat trucks!
16:40This is not just a miscommunication.
16:43This is sort of a catastrophe.
16:46We're set up for the whole show.
16:49Yeah.
16:50Put the flags up and let's call it a day.
16:52But you know what, Jerry?
16:53I'll be honest with you, okay?
16:55We have a truck that's over $100,000.
16:57We have another truck over $100,000.
16:59We have another $100,000 vehicle.
17:01And over $100,000.
17:02Not everybody wants to spend over $100,000.
17:05Nobody's going to come over here when they see those numbers.
17:07Maybe they only want to spend $50,000, $60,000.
17:10I mean, at the end of the day, listen, I've been doing this for 50 years.
17:14Okay?
17:15Once in a while, you should listen to me.
17:16I know you're a stubborn guy, and I know you know everything,
17:19but sometimes you got to listen to me.
17:21All right, look.
17:22I'm going to handle it.
17:24By the time you come here on Friday, you'll have your cars.
17:28I have 12 hours now to find out how to get five more cars into this show.
17:35Let's go.
17:37Where are we planning to land with this thing?
17:46About there, right?
17:47Following the body line.
17:48Side of here, you've got a blind spot monitor.
17:50I want to make sure that that's clear.
17:52So you just want to come forward another four inches.
17:55So that the metal's not blocking.
17:56Otherwise, it'll detect this metal and just beep, beep, beep all day long, you know?
18:00We're building an exoskeleton right now,
18:02and we're going with a really heavy scheduled aluminum
18:04so that it can actually hold the weight of the car.
18:06This thing's going to be a gigantic people mover.
18:08Really, really tall.
18:09Tall you go, bigger chance of rolling over.
18:12The center of gravity's moved way up.
18:14We want a roll cage around this whole car so if we do flip it,
18:16it doesn't compress everybody on the inside.
18:18Because that, yeah, that would be, squish all the people on the inside.
18:22It's a really bad day.
18:30Gus is working on extending the spindles right now, and we're done with one of them.
18:33We've never done electric Hummer lip kit whatsoever.
18:36So we want to find out if we made enough room and how much tire can we fit.
18:41Oh, yeah.
18:42Look at this monster.
18:4343-inch tires?
18:44That would be ideal.
18:46Are the 43s going to fit?
18:47Are we touching the frame?
18:48Are we touching the front end?
18:50If it's the front end, I've got ways to go.
18:52I'll rip this bumper off and make my own bumper.
18:54If it's the frame, there's only so much I can cut there before I start touching structural,
18:57and I don't want to get into that.
18:59There's a lot of reasons why this won't work,
19:01and we can always go back to a 40-inch tire, but I don't want to.
19:06Let's start setting it down.
19:08That look a lot like 32 to me.
19:10You want to hop in?
19:11Yeah, sure.
19:12All right.
19:13Let's go to the left.
19:14Let's take a look right here.
19:15Keep on.
19:16Keep on.
19:17That's it?
19:18That's it, right?
19:20We're hitting body stuff.
19:22We're not hitting frame stuff.
19:24All right.
19:25Other way, let's have a look.
19:26Tell me when.
19:28Keep going.
19:29Keep going.
19:30Keep going.
19:31And we're hitting stuff, but it's bumper stuff.
19:35That's all the way.
19:36That's all the way?
19:38Oh, we can make that work.
19:40Are you clear?
19:43Are you clear right there?
19:45Clear is up for interpretation, but it can work.
19:49Hey, Gus.
19:50Come over here.
19:51Let me show you something.
19:56Yeah.
19:57It'll work.
19:58Yeah, it's good.
20:0043s it is.
20:01All in favor, say aye.
20:05Still just me?
20:06Damn.
20:07Go big or go home?
20:09We're hitting some plastic trim and some molding on the outside.
20:12That's nowhere near the frame, nowhere near the battery box.
20:15I can cut that out.
20:16It's going to require a lot of body work afterwards to clean it up.
20:18And I think it's worth doing, because just looking at the truck this size, it's very exciting.
20:25The only downside I have now is that the truck is ginormous.
20:28It creates a new problem now.
20:30How do you get in the thing?
20:31Where you're standing right now, is that going to be like, can a normal human get in and out of this vehicle?
20:37Not at all.
20:38It's a pretty, uh, it's a pretty big step right there.
20:41I mean, we need like a normal sized human or, this is called the shortest guy, no?
20:48Hey, Frank, you around?
20:50I am.
20:51What?
20:52Hey, come on.
20:53Why don't you try something?
20:54Oh!
20:55Frank, hey!
20:56Ah, that's awesome.
20:57It's a beast, right?
20:58Oh my God, Joe.
20:59I love it.
21:00Can you hop in and out of this thing?
21:01I'm an athlete.
21:02Yeah, I think so.
21:03You just got out of your car.
21:08You're at the restaurant.
21:09Ah!
21:11Valor.
21:13All you guys like not doing it.
21:15Keep this and have a second step.
21:18Double step?
21:19You got buckets?
21:20I gotta dig that.
21:22Give me one more with the bucket.
21:28Very natural.
21:29Muy facile.
21:31That's what we'll do.
21:32I love it.
21:34Thank you for the short jokes.
21:35Yeah.
21:37You knew they were coming.
21:38We needed an athlete.
21:39That's what I'm here for, right?
21:40Yeah, all right.
21:41It's definitely because you're short.
21:42Jerry.
21:43I don't know, man.
21:44Hopefully the weather stays with us and we'll pull it out.
21:45It was not supposed to rain until after the show.

23:30here good old boat truck step right up and see boat truck boat show is a different kind of sales venue
23:37than anything we ever do most of the deals aren't consummated right there on the grounds of the boat
23:43you're collecting information to take a deposit it's actually after the show for the next four days
23:49that you get all those sales the people aren't showing up though and if the people aren't showing
23:54up i'm really handcuffed there's not much i can do
23:58hey guys
24:08are you adding any more metal all grinding all grinding
24:17gus has been welding spindles for almost three days straight right now i mean he's just over there
24:23cooking i'm not trying to rush him on it because i want it done right and we're coming up on the
24:27finish line looks like he's about ready and we can give these things a try we know the front tires

24:43let's wrestle these tires on here come on
24:48we got the 43 inch tire on there we've got the truck lifted to six inches right
25:07but now the tire is touching the spindle see the spindle here the part that we made
25:12it's a lot thicker than it used to be the option i don't have is to trim the spindle down
25:16i need that thing fixed
25:17so the tire has these same nubs on the inside of it right this one sticks out too much
25:34all i can do is trim those tire knobs off you're going to lose a little bit of them
25:37so that close that spindle get that tire to stop touching
25:40looks like james has already got started
25:42my man
25:44smaller tire yeah that was an option
25:50this is all frank's fault right i took 38s
25:53he was egging the guy on 40s go bigger bigger
25:57prayer to the metal gods yeah that this thing turns on
26:05these advanced electric vehicles you've got some sensors that are off or things that are blocked
26:11or a safety feature that's not making contact it just won't drive
26:15oh good sign that is a great sign the screens are on
26:20it says we have 71 percent battery i love it all right the moment of truth

31:24nobody nobody i searched verified there's not a kit there's not an option no one's even tried it cool
31:30and i know why each one of these spindles had to be handmade and if you notice you guys talked about
31:3638s maybe 40s we landed on 43s for the first time you tell me go big joe i'm gonna go big
31:42there you go and i figured you know i don't want to let you down this is definitely big we've got
31:46custom handmade aluminum roll cage all around the entire truck so that it can just plow through
31:52anything probably don't want to plow through the vineyard but if you had to right it's moving
31:55everything out of your way i want it to be an indestructible truck it's 100 electric
31:59bring back all the old school hummer stuff right the doors with the squares
32:03went with the slant back top got tons of room for gear up top tons of room with stuff in the back
32:09that is awesome it's definitely a home run love the way it looks for the front it's really yeah

32:43electric cars you can get it's got 200 kilowatts of power on board a thousand horsepower it's got a
32:49thousand foot pounds of torque torque torque ash what if i have another kid i would name it torq i
32:56know it i love that you would name the kid torq i think my next dog i think my next dog is gonna be
33:01torq chris you can't do that chris what do you think man i'm kind of in shock that it's exactly what
33:09i wanted completely ev completely friendly for the environment completely lifted i was worried
33:16about looking over vineyards but we can actually look over palm trees here they get so high we can
33:21see right over everything so it's perfect i think we just went over a car we didn't even notice it
33:28i love that that's where your mind's going because i got something i'd like to show you
33:31drove great but it's not what we built it for drive down the road before i touched it i got the boys set
33:36up a little something in the donut zone so we can show chris what this thing can really do
33:40you see what it feels like on the road yep but that's not where this thing shines
33:44nothing just walking around
33:47we're talking about the vineyards and it's mucky and whatnot there
33:55nothing what not at all it's just pure muck this thing walks through like a breeze
34:00up on the side here
34:02look at the crew watching i love that camaraderie we're just hopping around
34:09so awesome
34:12what can't this thing do you know
34:17what are we doing see these cars out there unfortunately i do see those cars out there
34:25well the cars that we want to drive over and you mentioned when we're driving around you had the
34:30same feeling i did when i test drove this thing i was like yes i want to drive over stuff yes we want
34:35to drive over stuff yes so now that car's a little taller than i thought it'd be and a little narrower than i
34:40thought it'd be so we're gonna see how this goes this is awesome yes joe let's do it all right let's get up
34:46joe go slow
34:47go go go
34:52oh my god this is so stupid
34:58hang on tight ladies and gentlemen we're gonna be okay
35:04oh joe i don't like it
35:11joe and ask the interview take one marker
35:18what's it like when joe goes a little too far
35:22um when he does go overboard he always does find a very quick fix shows joe's a really good problem
35:29solver thanks thanks but i have to say that when he does go overboard it's because he didn't listen
35:36to me right i mean come on you have to attest to that he's waiting to where we get there
35:41joe can fix anything like it's really he's amazing did i ever tell you one time we first started
35:47dating and he dropped the keys to the car in the water near the boat and there was a speaker and he
35:52goes speakers have magnets in them i'm like okay takes the magnet out of the speaker takes the end of
35:58the broomstick tapes the magnet and he starts like digging in this murky water with this stick
36:02magnet contract and he gets the freaking car keys i was like what like oh my god if i don't marry
36:08this guy i'm an idiot huh
36:09where are we on it i feel i'm burning rubber yeah you're burning rubber i think you gotta pull it off
36:19okay guys i think we should get everybody out of the truck so get out this side oh you can't go
36:24now this side you're gonna get too much weight you're gonna fall out
36:26all right frankie you go down that way
36:33joe how are you gonna pull i don't know let me get a look at it
36:39we'll have traction on this side a little bit
36:41things didn't go exactly according to plan we slipped off the side and we're kind of sitting
36:46belly down none of the tires are making contact we're gonna have to use the winch from another
36:49truck to pull this thing down pull it in that direction see if she can just get stable once
36:55this tire gets on top of this car we're home free i don't want this thing to roll off i know
37:00we put a roll cage on it i don't want to test it today and i'm in front of the buyer this could
37:04totally turn him off especially if i roll this car over i probably should have just not did this
37:09all right you got tension
37:12your wheels on joe
37:16yes joe
37:19gus i think if you give me a little more pressure we'll be okay
37:21oh she's moving
37:25oh wow oh victory's so sweet team apocalypse
37:42today's test drive went well at its highs and lows
37:48good job everybody
37:49we make gigantic toys half the job is to play with them right i mean if you can't
37:55go and climb over some cars with your gigantic truck why do you drive a gigantic truck
38:00christian came down intact so do you still want it
38:04i totally want it are you kidding if you did everything i asked you
38:09everything i asked you this little exercise here did it make you want it more or less
38:13definitely more
38:14this could be something where you call us up and you want the monster electric truck
38:25the zeus maybe right and we just build it series of parts and pull off the shelf and we go to town
38:30to the vineyard i guess
38:32all right
38:43ashley joseph
38:47stuff that needs to hit the road this week
38:49right now this week i have hagel leaving jerry's six by six guy lunnon is leaving
38:54got a couple broncos that are done and ready to go
38:57these are sold at the boat show
38:58how did we end up with the boat show
39:01i don't know the final number yet but i told them 25
39:04reaching for the stars i like it
39:06the weather was bad
39:08i'm pretty confident that even as bad as the weather was
39:11that we hit that jerry yeah come over where do we end up with the boat show
39:16like total deals done done we're supposed to get 25
39:19we got 22 22 hammered and done deals
39:23yeah you look deflated what's up
39:25because it's 25 we had a goal in mind and
39:27in one weekend 22 vehicles i'm upset that only sold eight
39:3212 12 12
39:35boat show slayer wow listen honestly i just looked at the numbers last and i figured that
39:40number made sense you just threw out some arbitrary number
39:43i knew you would hit it you specifically told me that to keep the lights on ad we do need to keep
39:48the lights on jerry and you basically hit that number so you should be very proud of yourself
39:52i don't know why you're so angry that you put on me for these events
39:55so jerry now like 22 cars plus a few solar panels lights are on
39:58i guarantee you by next week you hit that 25 you didn't just get 22 names of all numbers
40:04right people that saw you spoke to you or not how many times you heard a guy walks in a year later
40:08and says i saw you guys in the boat show can they make a deal jerry we did 22
40:14i told you right from the get-go all those trucks in the front were over a hundred thousand dollars
