What the heck is up ladies and gentlemen so it's been a minute since we made a video we don't have a power wagon anymore I hinted that we bought another truck and I was gonna wait till I had it completed to show you guys what I was doing or what I had planned but things are taking much longer than anticipated so I'm gonna show you what I'm kind of up to right now so let me flip you around yeah it's another freaking dodge so this one's a Ram 1500 and we've got in there now a six and a half inch lift 37 inch tires rear you caught in locker I'm having a hidden winch mount made and I'm also having them do some skid plates for me that's what's been taking the majority of the time but in the meantime we picked up this little toy the other day so we're out here in the beautiful mountains of British Columbia I'm waiting for my brother we're gonna unstrap this quad try the quad out give the truck a little bit of a shake down run and see what sort of fun we can have today so my logic behind buying the quad was that when we're going out and doing rescues we can have somebody out scouting the trail on the quad prior to you know the big heavy trucks going through just to make sure you know that it is it is a passable trail and whatnot because there's nothing worse when you get down a trail and realize holy crap we can't pass it and we can't turn around so it's gonna be kind of a double duty machine you know we'll use it for the rescues we'll have fun with it you know like we're doing today and we'll also use it for plowing some driveways so yeah and as far as the truck goes my logic behind the truck was it's a heck of a lot lighter than the power wagon so it should be a little bit better in the snow as we recall from the snow last year my power wagon had a tendency to sink so I mean granted I could have you know put wider tires and fought that but I to be honest I just got fed up with that power wagon so much money into that thing and it just it was one thing after another so I thought what the heck let's get something a little bit cheaper that I can afford to stick some money into and well that's what we ended up so it's an oh four I don't know if you can see yeah so it's an oh four gram 1500 laryme full leather all that good stuff but it just it had good bones for what I wanted you know it's it's gonna do what I want for a daily a power wagon was a great truck but let me tell you man that thing was thirsty even though this has the same motor this has the same motor in it it's not near as bad the power wagon averaged almost 30 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway this one gets 20 liters per 100 kilometers and that can be attributed to the gearing it's got it's got some goodies that'll hopefully you know make it a little bit more fuel efficient make it to a little bit more stout in the trails so we'll see what happens but yeah I'm pretty jazzed to be back it's been a minute okay wait for my brother to get here and see what this little pole-air thing can really do don't bring it you need a winch there you go all right ladies and gentlemen well that about concludes our first ride on our ATV and first real off-road for the truck I mean I wouldn't really call off-road because we're just on a gravel road but yeah it truck did great suspension feels insane 37 inch tires on these roads is it's smooth man like it's like driving on a highway but yeah back to the quad thing so it will today went great wasn't without a take-up though my my carburetor needed some tuning so we we messed with the mixture screws when we were up there and I think it could have me we were quite high up but got that figured out found out I had a bent wheel whatever no big deal my brother blew out a rear bearing on his axle axle bearing no big deal we'll get that fixed but all in all what an amazing day I forgot how much I really enjoyed quadding off-roading is nice in the truck but it's different you know you can hit it harder when you're on some dedicated off-road machine right so that's kind of the route I'm taking now as far as off-roading you know I'm building this I don't want to call it a pavement princess but she's gonna be able to hold her ground off-road but I'm actually gonna be building an XJ something that you know I can just take and for the lack of better word beat crap out of itself yeah with with that being said today was amazing we ended up uh let me turn around here the way the heck on the backside of that mountain and I'm not sure where the other point was but there were some dudes jumping with parachute so I'll put a clip in here that was it was pretty wild to see that's your looks like a lot of fun that's so rad I can get that much air on the quad yeah you just won't come back yeah look at it lift that's not all in all amazing feels good to be back how to be back making videos so I'm gonna end it off here until then you know what to do smash that like button don't forget to subscribe so
