We Built the Ultimate Red Neck Go Kart! 36 Gears?!?

One of the biggest YouTube channels asked us to build a celebrity's concept car before the celebrity did it. Here's how he

built

a fully functional vehicle from a glorious napkin drawing in just two weeks and how everything, I mean, everything was absolutely from scratch. Snow Rolling with this thing is going to be sick. She was trying to avoid glass everywhere, but you know things happen. I will maintain this; There will be a lot of hours put into this build over the next two weeks, so it will be great. This will be the uh, I need a five minute break, let's see if we can unload it without breaking it up anymore, just turn left, it's not going straight at this point, you might be a little confused, but this is a 2014 KTM.

Adventure 1190, which has 1200 cc of fuel-injected V-Twin power and makes 150 horsepower and about 92 pound-feet of torque, it's not too far off the specs of that creaky old propane-powered engine and, More importantly, it weighs probably 200 to 300 pounds less. It also has a six-speed transmission

built

in, which means that now we have a six-speed transmission going into a six-speed transmission and it means that with this little engine we can move that slower and faster, in theory no I guess it doesn't have gas, but let's see if it turns right, that was easy, that means we just have to take out everything that makes it run and that's it.

Now seems a good time to mention that the original design was probably based on mid-engined amphibious vehicles where the engine would be right under the seat and the driver would sit far forward in the cabin, so this type of body would not work with the engine we had in our minivan monster truck so instead we switched to the smaller dirt bike engine it's right between the driver and the passenger the concept car looks exactly the same it fits it's fast it's easy that's what we ran yeah it's cold it's really cold out here look you're even getting most of it hi ed how are you?

You miss me every time you see this, what is it in 5 30 5 38? Oh, I was actually going to guess 5,000 pushups, Stephen, so we've determined that everything sent here is no longer necessary and can become huge. weight reduction amounts we have the ventilator here this is a high tech filtration system we are ready to use a very high tech filtration system what is that your lungs that is true I heard that oh that's good you guys have it peeled down , oh yeah, no wonder you're having a hard time, oh my gosh, it's all sand, it's completely full of sand, yeah, that's the other one right now next to a whole shelf of this like cans of aerosol, that's normal, that's okay, that's totally normal, there's usually a possibility. gasoline also the guys are about to start cutting everything off the frame, we don't need to make this concept car.

I want to show you a little spoiler for the next video because the BRZ looks really good and we're giving it this. coolest foreign rally BRZ full suspension all nine yards all you have to do to enter and win is spend five dollars on our website you actually get one entry for every five dollars you spend check it out reinhardplumbingco.com come too far away The problem is that it's sitting on the diff and there's five inches of upward travel from that point, so I guess let's see what happens if we move it far enough forward to clear the diff.

We have it shod with 16 pieces of wood. and the perfect hammer handle I think I'm going to build a motor mount real quick with a pad that lines up, I mean, you know, from this end of the frame rail case here straight to this old swing arm mount because that's the sturdiest part and then once we're that close we can just rotate it and I'll just do one for now, one end we can screw to that and then we can adjust the angle and between all of them because it will bend a little bit and it will will move, so all I have to do is make sure it's the right distance like this and then we can turn it around and he'll rest it away from there.

I've been bugging him for like every 30 minutes since we got here to do this we've been here for two days yeah this is bucket list level and I know if you're watching this you agree with me oh this one It's the wish list, I'm sure. fulfill all your hopes and dreams, yes my legs are shaking right now. In fact, I can see that they are literally shaking. I can't stop it. Ryan and Tony have had their warm-up laps, they got used to the track and the machine, now it's time to see which one of them is faster.

The loser has to jump into the pond. That's wow. I didn't know we were going so hard. It is a quite serious consequence. I'm going to regret this. I can tell you he's not using the berms, yeah. that's good, he's losing a lot of time, a lot of time on the berms 34 seconds, that's fine with you Johnny, that's fine, yes, Tony has another warm-up lap because the machine is cold and also the loser has to jump into the pond, which is about this depth and then so much mud oh, I didn't realize what that was oh well, well, you could change it to the stream, we can't change it to the foreigner, you can go around two more times if you want, but it's not necessary. you beat me by two seconds 29.9 oh yeah 29.95 that's really soft crap can I do a countdown or something?

I can barely breathe it's so cold I think I want to go take a hot shower not now, let's just go back to work okay? oh, the plan for this morning is to take out one of these wheels and do some measurements and calculations. We have Tony here, he likes math. I love math. Tony is going to discover a few things with our old wheel offsets vs. new wheel spacers. We're going to take this wheel off, put one of the tires on and place it roughly where we think it's going to be so we can define where the body will be and how wide it can be and all that nonsense.

Hi, I have these four drum brake hubs with two and a half ton Rockwell axles of something that, depending on the chronology of these events, you may or may not have seen yet, but the point is that they have an enormously thick flange with six bolts. The pattern on it, this six bolt pattern is too big and of course these holes are probably too big in diameter, but it's extremely thick so my current plan is to take this because it has this sleeve or this flange here that could It will bolt to the surface of the Unimog if I machine it flat and drill six new holes that line up with the pattern of the Unimog and then you have the extender piece for the spacer so all I have to do is make a new sleeve for the new bolt pattern and weld it.

What's left of this flange, unfortunately my lathe is not big lol, yes there is not much room for a person to sit, but being comfortable is not the main function of this thing, but strange sitting positions are nothing new For us, it's time for the first roll cage. attack, yeah, here's my wheel spacer with custom weight reduction holes, put the safety glasses over your eyes, yeah, it fits you or it fits you, or wow, it's like you know what you're doing, oh Hmm. I wonder if this is physically possible, oh no. Oh yes, it works. I was worried there wouldn't be enough room for this between these, yeah, but it'll actually stay somewhere in here.

There should be small indentations. How nice that you did it well. I did half. I'm proud of you. I made two thirds. It's a three-piece thing. Three quarters. This is two thirds. We wanted to have a slight radius because straight lines look stupid. I haven't had the opportunity to use them. This still all-terrain boot sent us their premium Hulk pipe rollers and we've got our new Fab Fab rebel cable for us to hold on to. The stranger just received another very exciting stack of boxes, the black rhino, in fact, they appeared while I was collecting. I love the 20s, they're a big enough wheel that I like, oh look how it looks, it's industrial now.

I really need to finish the wheel spacer I'm making, yeah, oh yeah, what are you doing? I think Elmo approves here is the ring with the new six bolt pattern um and that is located here um unfortunately these bolts will not be removable because they are captured there so we will not allow us to use the Dak platform on them so while Ethan welding on your wheel adapter uh Tony and I are going to finish tubing the front end of this thing, whatever this thing is generating some heat today, it really is, it's a lot faster than just why the metal is on you call, why is your top hat on. fire yes foreigner it's time to get started on the custom steel bodywork so let me formally introduce you to Ryan and Tony from Crucible Coachworks.

They have an amazing shop and YouTube channel where they build widebody Porsches and all kinds of incredibly elaborate bodies. Definitely go check it out, subscribe to his channel right now Foreign Subaru are you ready for the winner I'm not ready for winter to be honest personally I want to say it's better than the rain I feel a little isolated but will it or won't this flat piece of metal will become a car part of the car in front of your eyes I feel like Martha Stewart but in the snow we were setting up our table here and since today we are going to be making candles with pumpkins wow this looks like DeLorean metal DeLorean metal right?

I know what Delores did with the fur, oh, the same as silk, yes, they literally have a tool they made specifically to make the stripes, yes, and they recommend in the user manual to wash it with gasoline, really yes, I didn't know . It's so strange. I saw a strange image. It's like, come on, Castle. Know. I thought yeah, that's how I would design it. Jaws are different, the way they work is through Witchcraft and Magic, you know, that was loud, Stephen, you used to work in construction, you know the jokes about the board racks, oh yeah, well, with the metal, there is actually a metal frame, crush it and these dies are forced together and we will literally force the metal towards itself which will shrink its surface, it will actually make it thicker, but the surface area will also decrease, which is where the contraction.

It will do the opposite and that's why it says stretch, yes, and it also has Ryan's signature, yes, I want to make sure this is worth a lot of dollars someday, it will be worth a lot of wrist hairs someday, I've been here at the wood stove, warming up a little bit, you know, that will help the welds. You know, it penetrates that thick piece of cast iron better if it's a little bit hot, it's time to weld it up and then we can put another tire on this thing so we have one on each side and it will form two more spacers over the next one, like three . days, Rockstar garage helped us a lot with these Mickey Thompsons, you have to check their social media, they build amazing off road trucks all the time, they are shot overseas, look at that wow that changed everything.

I wanted to run over myself at this point. I feel like if it's comfortable, these tires are so big that they're so soft that they have zero PSI, it would probably be fine, yeah, it would be a good kick in the back. The situation is that Ryan wanted to make these fenders narrower and we all turned out fine. the tires are this wide, they should probably be this wide, didn't trust the foreign metal shaper here apparently it snows every day, delivers yes, what I think it is is your favorite tool in the world, oh my god, thank you , it's the most Less walking next time Wilson's camera uses the sound effects Okay, I've never been that one A little Okay There's a hammer There's a way Look at a wild Brody Slim actually doing some work Brodie Slim is carrying to the team right now Look at that look, he's doing all the crimping right and crimping isn't easy and he knows I learned a whole metal thing.

Will has been teaching me well, I mean, Ryan has been deep in the band, the band, oh yeah, these are all the things that Brodie slims down. it's been destroyed with the shrinker these are all the iterations of tools we've used to fix and finally a grade eight bolt is the trick the shredded bolt is bent also look at that thing yeah that's why I'm wearing gloves because the handle keeps breaking and my knuckles go Yeet towards the table oh no so yes you should put a blanket how do you think we're on time so far I think we're dying everything hurts and I'm dying we what is today Friday we're leaving We fly like Tuesday at noon like this yeah let's get to it oh oh yeah yeah that's it now that you're kind of in the groove, how long did this spacer take?

This is how legality works. I added a TM at the end. so it's very legit things are what you say they are yeah let's put a TM on it close enough so now that we have the two front tires bolted on we'll measure the actual ground clearance which will be exactly the same on the back rear and from the flattest surface miles from here to the bottom of the differentialit's 20 and a half inches and that's the lowest point on the entire vehicle so under the axle housing here on the sides it's 24 inches like Will could live his entire life under this.

What Bjorn is, doggo approved, what do you think? Hey, get up here, come on, get up, get up, doggo get up, what do you think she's going to go outside for the first time? I'm going to throw it with three of the four tires on because I haven't done it. I had time to make the fourth adapter. You never really know what something will look like until you stand back from it and then look at it. It's like a blizzard out there. Well, that's something, isn't it? It's so funny the difference between this tire and that tire oh yeah that's silly, it was right at this moment when we could take a look at hundreds and hundreds of hours of work that we got the call from the YouTube channel we were building all this for a celebrity who designed the vehicle was super canceled and the project was cancelled.

Nobody wants to have anything to do with this person. We didn't either and the way we had to build it to the design is something like this. It didn't make sense, so we had to undo our work and try to salvage the situation, do the best we could with this. Overseas, I made my adapter, we have KTM splines on that side, Unimog splines on that side, and now just to lift the engine. this on the shaft and then it will slide back far enough that we can put the motor in and then slide it forward. These supports turned out very nice.

Oh thanks. It's fine, and the coupler works just needs a few little taps. precision right there, yeah, oh, and the center of the go-

kart

holds it up, no, it doesn't hold anything, oh, you mean this way, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's when you said loads like nothing's holding it up, yeah , Yeah. I just had that around and it's basically the right size well in theory see you that's when I held it there but it was just in the parts box so I was really sick so last night I was sleeping in this loft and my head was about two to three feet away from that mounting point and then what happened?

Ethan, at about 12:30 we were having a nice wind storm and took a nice nap. We assume a tree fell on this and broke it. I woke up with the sensation of moving. I left everything. The house move didn't leave me, uh, because four trees fell on the zip line in sequence, like they didn't like to fall together, they fell from four different directions and went boom boom boom boom boom on the zip line. Foreign songs by Phil Collins the last few days. I've been working here just getting this ready to dry, so we have a flyer.

This is all just temporary because this won't be the final setup for this, no matter what we do with it. the Jaguar body on it, maybe just build a roll cage, who knows the Unimog brake and clutch assembly, you know, just glued to the frame. Here I have the clutch connected, the linkage very, very, very simple, which is just one piece. of cable that pulls the motorcycle's clutch on a piece of tubing taped to the transmission case here and then this one is really fun, the throttle is just the twist throttle for the motorcycle with a little pedal hose held on with a piece of scrap that I was a botched cut from something else.

I think it's time for a test drive. The brakes need to be bled more, but that's okay, they're marginal anyway. It's time to drive this thing. We have some fresh snow. We built the strangest thing. However, I think I see how it moved backwards, yeah, yeah, that was with the clutch all the way in uh oh no no, okay, it's a motorcycle when its clutches are cold they engage a little bit, but that's to illustrate how much gear reduction has. It will drive itself with a motorcycle clutch which is a bit strange so it has a lot of power, it needs better suspension but that was obvious so it was there going up this hill which was second gear in the Unimog transmission and sixth. on the motorcycle transmission, oh my god, and it's still that slow right now.

I can only shift between first and second here, which is good because those are the only two

gears

with reverse. I can't get enough lever to shift to the other one.

gears

, okay, this is fast enough for this test drive, but yeah, that gives you an idea of ​​how slow it can go and how ridiculous the speed range it has, oh that's good, I should activate the locks on the top differential, see how. That's right, we'll see if he likes to climb a foreign hill. Oh no, that's not good. What are you doing? Why? What have you done?

I didn't want to do it out of necessity, you know, they have those hats that you might like, they have headphones built into the hats or lights built into the hats, we should build one with silencers that would be premium, it would be good for things like that. stealing skates in winter doing this kind of thing all kinds of things would be good because I understand what happened the exhaust that inevitably there is something in a machine with 3000 hours accumulated in the crankcase the pressure built up because Somehow, this hose that is supposed that should relieve that pressure it froze and I moved it and a lot of air came out so I need to top up the oil level but at least it's not a catastrophic engine failure all good strange we only have one solution at this point of a year this is ridiculous look at those footprints yeah I'm surprised I made it this far up that hill like you can't tell how steep it is but that's a hill covered in foreign foreign grass that looks crazy look if I came In a slight diagonal, I could raise the tire and then climb into the bed.

I should try it so I was filming a little tick tock and we just got a new phone to work hard on and I thought I never dropped my phone. I don't need Apple Care, it fell out of my hoodie pocket and there are hints of the Swindle machine, well, there's something on top of it. I have faith, at least it has a case, at least you didn't give the dog meat, the ground heart, oh hey, it's free, okay? I don't know if I'm allowed to have no more hoodie Pockets, no more hoodie The pockets are open, you lean one direction and it's gone.

I'm glad it didn't get crushed the second day we had it. It's been unfortunate, so are you jumping straight into bed? I think so, if I do it right. Stranger, if you can get over the Tacoma in the snow, there won't be much that's difficult for this thing. We are big. I know, I remember, yes. There are two big tires and now they look small compared to these gigantic 46s. There's this thing in Moab like you can't challenge it. It's not like you just grovel about absolutely everything. It would be a challenge except directing Reinhardt's workout right here, power steering on a very sad sounding exhaust at the moment, yeah, it's a little wordy because it's just two straight tubes compared to the core, which is what basically It will sound, oh yes.

It will sound almost exactly like that depending on how the exhausts are placed, but it's still my favorite thing, yeah, how cool is the electronic throttle with just a random piece of junk strapped to it. I have to stay, it's too easy, it's been a wild ride. It's been an interesting progression of the vehicle and a huge thank you to everyone who helped, especially Ryan and Tony from Crucible Coach Works. Thanks again to Rockstar Garage for helping us get these beautiful Mickey Thompson tires that we will continue to do great things with. I'm sure, oh those things, just the amount of flex it has is absolutely ridiculous, like the suspension isn't even close to bottoming out in any of the corners, so it could flex more and it's all the way up in the Tacoma that need.

Finding something taller to drive is ridiculous now that you've seen what it can do, let's talk about your plans for the future, but first we need to head over to grindhardplumbingco.com and enter to win this rally car or ten grand. This is the Jag body that goes on the Unimog chassis. We have it because a few years ago we tried to do the Gambler with it and we more or less succeeded. We lost the cylinder. We went from fuel injection to carburetor. We put 31-inch mud tires on it. and then later on the engine became my kitchen table, the axles and undercarriage actually became the 2J lawnmower, so it has a lot of history on the channel and now it will have a future on the channel of being a jaguar.

With 46 inch wheels and portal axles, this is incredible
