It was so incredible to be able to do a trip like this! Thank you for for all of the support to make this possible and to the Premium member club for making the elevated soundtrack possible! Check out the exclusive club here grindhardplumbingco.com/

I wanted to make this series as close to a real movie as I possibly could. Between Steven’s incredible shots, Will’s antics and Ethan’s willpower I think we got pretty dang close! Maybe we are ready to make a movie now?

This is the single most roadkill shit to ever NOT include Freiburger and/or Finnegan

I almost forgot how great it is to have REAL music in KZfaq videos.

I think the Humvee liked towing the broken one. The extra load made it feel like it was covered in armor and full of crayon crumbs again.

I mean this with all love and respect, you guys are great, you have to have a driver in the rear Humvee. I’m a veteran, we did that all the time, that tow rig is not meant to tow without a chauffeur in back for brakes, steering and signals. I wish someone would’ve told you…

Dude this actual music makes the video so much better than the royalty free stuff or random background music everyone uses. Money well spent ❤

@6:00 My guy, when you flat tow, you gotta have a caretaker in the towed hummer. Unless you're towing with a Duce or better, they can't handle the breaking by themselves. Also, the steeringwheel sometimes decides to go for the ditch, pulling the towing truck with it.

In the Army I was a mechanic and had recovery school. The actual tow bar is solid steel and if I remember right mounts in the holes where the clevis bolts on. Those things are horrible for maintenance. Every hundred miles of a road march we'd lose 2-3 vehicles. You guys need to wait for the glow plug light to go off right above the switch. It's pretty easy to mushroom the glow plugs in that engine.

"it says don't exceed 25mph, but that's probably just like, for safety"

As a former USMC mechanic who worked on those things extensively... driving them on pavement for extended periods of time will cause an early death of the geared hubs, the differentials, and the all-time-4wd transfer cases. They're really meant to be off-road always. (which is dumb)

Seeing no one in that back truck actually scared me. I mean nothing against you guys at all but at least in my experience with pulling and towing vehicles you should alway have someone in the "dead" vehicle to control it if needed. But even with all the misfortune with the other Humvee you guys still made another awesome video, keep up the great work.

at the 27 minute mark, when you blokes are sprawled out in front of the storage unit, and will has that look of depression . you look like a band that got dropped off at the wrong venue , no crowd , no instruments, no ride .LOL. But I love the way that the show must go on.

17:30 1776 is the year Sir Edward Humvee invented the car.

I think you guys know you are lucky no one got hurt. That tow bar was not meant to do what you were trying to do with it, and you were towing a vehicle that should never be towed like that. I'm just glad it ended the way it did and you guys didn't get hurt, or hurt anyone else.

I'm with Ethan on this. You all set on an adventure to get these things home. I've watched road kill do a complete engine swap in a parking lot, I think you guys know enough people to make this happen.

6:32 Will has the look of "please don't hurt my humvee" 😂

Man, I was really hoping the group would've finished this together. But I get it, some folks aren't built that way! I appreciate all ya'll keep it up!

i am really glad the tow bar failure did not result in anything worse. that really could have been a bad time. hindsight is always 20/20 when it comes to looking at failures but i think you guys all got caught up in the heat of the moment and the lack of sleep & all the other failures probably overshadowed just how sketchy it was to run that towbar as you did. excellent video. glad everyone made it out unscathed.

Dudes, I was a grunt that drove these things over in the sandbox. The Tow bars we had were 1/4" steel, sleeved with 1/4" steel. As in the steel was 1/4" formed into a 2" tube. Aluminum was lucky to make it as far as you did. Also, I love ya'll talking about how it feels years ago, after spending time in the HMMWV. Think about dudes counting down days to end of active service. These are truly time machines, only they slow time... Serious props gents.

Ethan is such a hard worker what a legend! The vibes are immaculate looking forward to the rest of this series.

As a Canadian, the 1776 thing had me busting a gut. Everyone knows that is the year that the freedom eagles swooped in with their boomsticks and snatched up some liberty snakes from the clutches of the lobster backs. Not to be confused with lobster bucks. (Redeemable only at your local participating Red Lobster).

i'm more of a nerd than a mechanic so clamping an H shifter and handbrake to my desk for sim driving felt like an aerospace engineer-level problem to solve, so seeing you guys just fixing stuff in parking lots is amazing. never stop doing what you do ♥

3:55 “I think that’s just a safety thing” Would make for a great shirt, or sticker

Yeaah! almost two weeks waiting for the history to continue!

In the Service, stationed with the Marine Corps, we called that FUBAR.

Pretty sure that with those A-Frames, you're still required to have a driver in the towed vehicle for that very reason (excessive strain being put on the mount going round corners). I've been involved in recovering buses with tow wagons before, and the only way you can recover something without a driver on the towed vehicle is if you suspended tow it to in effect turn it into a trailer.

I came from FabRats just to find out the story of this Hummer ! I liked the story except when I seen things starting to go wrong ! The major problem was no one in the back vehicle while it was towed ! Sure you turn the lights on but brake lights only works when someone pushes the brake pedal ! I could tell by looking at that tow bar that it wouldn't hold up long ! Sure you towed it around a little before starting out and a comment was made that it couldn't take sharp turns ! But you guys did it anyways ! I'm just glad that no one got hurt or killed in this stupid stunt ! Please really think things through , look at the whole picture , at all the possibilities that could go wrong and be prepared for anything ! I seen where one of you laughed at comment about the danger that you put others in without their knowledge ! Sure you want to do stuff , I understand that but please do it with the safety of you and everyone around you ! I didn't serve this country for people that doesn't seem to care what happens to others as long as you get to stupid shit !

"And this one smells like poop" Lol! "That's a fish". You guys crack me up

When you started playing "way down we go" I thought my phone had connected to the TV lmao such a awesome surprise

Ive loved the series, but like others have said, wow.... when i saw that being towed without someone in it.... Im just glad it worked out and didn't end badly. The production quality on these videos has been top notch. Would love to see it in a cinema with an audience full of Grind Hard minded individuals. Keep doing what you're doing.

Love how we sit with them as they have a conversation 😄❤

I think that there is a person needed to steer the humvee that is getting towed. This is such a good video. I will definatly rewatch it.

Hearing Ethan talk about the support from his wife makes me very happy for him. My Wife is the same way with the shenanigans I get into, and I love her for it.

Im so glad u all got hooked up woth Matt towing and Paul from Fab Rats they are awesome. Its fun seeing you guys from here going there and hanging with them etc you all make my down time fun

Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it. Kaleo's voice is a welcome addition to any video.

Shouldn’t you have had a safety chain hooked up between vehicles when using the tow bar?

What an amazing watch that was, thank you so much! Grind Hard is truly the best content out there. Licensed music was a nice and surprising touch.

I can watch this dudes drive peacefully all day. For some reason it’s soothing as hell to me.

Love it guys! Edwin the overall quality of the videos between the soundtracks, filming style, and quality content really sets the channel apart. I thankyou for always delivering premium extra-sketch moments! Again thank all of you for your effort to deliver quality content and enjoy what you do at the same time...love it!

Ethan is just build different. Such an inspiration for his mindset. So far the best work you did in filming and editing! Hope this series never ends.

The Danger Twins in a tree in Vegas. Priceless ❤

24:19 man what a blessing to have a friend like this!

If you notice that round cap and connector next to the shifter that is called the s t e - i c e connector. You can bypass neutral safety and jump the starter solenoid with a jumper between the letters s and t.

keep doing things with fabrats. would love to see a bigger collab.

The music literally makes the video 100000000000X BETTER!!!! Keep grind-hard-ing lads.

"lets go an a humvee trip across America" they said "it will be fun" they said. XD

That sloMo walk-on Will had with the Tow Bar in that shirt, shot me straight back to '86 and the Miami Vice cinematography. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Filming: 👌 Editing: 👌 Soundtrack: 👌 Another awesome video boys 😎

Great music selection! Edit: Edvin, I´m Swedish and even I got the 1776 reference!

I've never realized how much I miss the loyalty and bond of true friendship.

I could literally watch you guys put training wheels on a bicycle lmao. Your videos have the best personality and production value, I swear

I was gonna ask if you were paying for music. The production quality of this channel is amazing. Best content on KZfaq

My hat is off to you guys! Driving these trucks with unknown hundreds of thousands of miles on them is wild. Best of luck, guys. I can't wait to see what you all do with these trucks. I appreciate your content.

The dedication these guys have, wearing a back pack and a front pack.

I love seeing you guys work together!! Keep it up!

Huvees go brrrrr.... or more like crashing sounds but you get the point.

Grind Hard Bros. - Its been rough lately and the editing of 1:39 to 2:13 is what I needed to hear. Sometimes it feels like we're "not moving forward", or are stuck in "Lo", But lets "just start with that". Thank you for this soulful poetry in trial and the pick up to keep traveling down our roads.

I was going to mention how the use of real music in this was absolutely wild. Really cool to see you guys doing so well, I feel like I was following along you guys just modding toys for a laugh just the other day. This does genuinely feel like a high budget tv show or movie and I'm super proud of all of you guys and your dedication to keep it going. I know some random message of support doesn't mean a lot from a guy down in Newfoundland Canada, but I just highly appreciate the content you guys make and its genuinely impressive to continue to be amazed by the stuff that you all do. Huge props boys, keep killing it. Won't be long now until you have a big studio knocking on your door looking to buy your content. oh and by the way, can't wait for more. Love the humvee's.

Hahaha.!! Was just watching fab rats and this popped up!!

Come on, you can do it. We are also supporting you.😊 😊😊

I like how optimistic you guys are.

I NEED to team up with Ethan ! I know with both of us we would be UNSTOPPABLE.

Been waiting for this ! Thanks guys 👍

Literally juat finished Fab Rats video and Bam!!!! NEW Humvee vid!

Can’t wait guys love ur videos and the work all u guys put in to this channel

The best and worst thing about Humvees is how they made Land Cruisers look practical. Thank you.

Full send for the win

Ethan is old school and you gotta respect the drive and determination he has ... Respect my dude

a wee tip for you guys, use the seatbelt to lock the steering wheel straight, the diffs will let it turn. great video again!

The most realistic trip from a KZfaq channel. Other would probably just ship it. Many can’t imagine how difficult and demoralizing a trip like this can be. Keep it up guys.

Lol, your supposed to have someone in the driver's seat of the Humvee being towed

gotta love a good old Humvee

A big reason i love this channel is the music ngl... but mostly because this channel is awesome. Everything you guys do is a dream to me.

I spent 8 years in the guard and don't miss those camo colored trash cans one bit. You guys are troopers.

Imagine the cybertruck trying to tow a cybertruck

Glad to see that I’m not the only one needing this video

I wouldn't have been able to leave it either. I think Ethan is pretty normal from my perspective. If that thing didn't have a rod hanging out the side of the block or a transmission exploded all over the pavement. There's no way I would be parking it in a storage unit. I think he made the right call. Can't wait to see the rest of the story.

Man you'll guys remember this for the rest your life. awesome episode guys! Also love that song playing as you guys rolled into Vegas. The whole sound track to this episode was amazing. So sick

So good! Love these kind of videos! So unpredictable!🤩

I've made the drive from Orange County to Denver 17 times since moving to Denver in 2006. In a uhaul with a car hauler two times. In a uhaul itself. 2002 BMW 328i, 2009 Audi S5, 2006 F150, 2016 F250, and a 2017 Honda CRV. If you are 2.5 hours from Vegas, you definitely have some uphills. They are deceiving in that area, and after Vegas to St. George as well. They seem gradual, but they just wear on you, and the vehicle (of course, not always, the coupes were fun regardless of the grade). My 2006 F150 blew its front main seal on the transmission pulling a Uhaul trailer on the grade out from Baker, CA. That heat, the black asphalt, and long grades really take their toll. Well executed gentlemen. Looks like a very grand adventure.

Disappointing . you all owe your livelihoods to Eithan .. and you let him down . No one was willing to help him get back home ...

Video kind of makes it look like Ethan is the only one with gumption, stick-to-itiveness and an actual grown mans outlook. Made me respect him more, but a bit less for the kids he works with. Still a good vid.

Each and every one of you guys did a premium job! All are built different, Eathen is built a bit further, he’s a mad man. Haha Keep up the great work!

I am loving this series! You guys are crazy, and it's awesome

Love the beginning of this video. With the music that made sense in that scene.. masterpiece

Paul an his crew are awesome ppl glad to see everyone together in this adventure

Loved the Steven He reference when the towbar broke!

Sick sick sick sick sick!!!! Super proud of you guys and Ethan is the MAN! Makes me feel good to know there’s other wrenches out there that like being thrown into the thick of it for kicks and giggles.

Learn everything you can from Ethan. Not many people are so multi talented that they can refuse no for an answer no matter what the problem is.

Ethan is built different man. I truly commend him and his drive (and insanity)

This is one of the most EPIC advetures I am watching on youtube. Love your channel!

Dang I’ve been excited to see a lot of your videos, but idk if I’ve every been more excited than I am now about next episode of this. keep it up guys, much love from southern Idaho haha

I know a story about a guy, who pulled up in his 80 ton road train, at a steep hill near Mt Isa in the middle of nowhere to help a broken down 115 ton triple road train. They hooked up a "stiff bar" and the 80 ton road train took off and towed the 115 ton road train, 100 km to Mt Isa. The secret was, the 80 ton road train had Eaton "dual range" diffs, that had 6.5 to 1 reduction instead of the normal 4.11 to 1. But remember when towing, to pull the tail shafts out, or your transmission will be toast over long distances.

Cool that you're using a tow bar, haven't seen anyone else use them until now and thanks for the awesome content, you are an inspiration!

Seriously. You guys have a dream job. This is awesome.

you've got me when way down we go started. man that song is sooo good

Great choice of music boys. Thanks for sacrificing the ad rev for it
