Always liked seeing You on DED and now this is becoming one of My favorite You Tube shows. Keep up the great work Dave. 😎👌

Been supporting your channel since the start. I've got to admit that this is becoming my favorite channel on the old YT. Thanks for the content Dave, always enjoy the videos.

Standard cabs are like boxer briefs. They keep all your junk up front.

Dirt shed / dirt head content makes a Friday so much cooler.

Shout-out to the Grind Hard Boyzzzz

This is by far one of my favorite trucks

Thanks for sharing , great camera shots of your trip . Cheers 🇨🇦

Raddest gear installation man of all time!

35:47 Ahhhhh. That's my retirement view right there. (For when I have all the time in the world to travel and relax while seeing places like this)

Heck yeah! Git’r dun 👊

The guy who taught me how to TIG weld always said to first get comfortable. I’d ask him how I look and he asked me if I was comfortable. That is the key.

🦅🇺🇸💪😎👍 great video as always thank you

after working for days non stop you still take the time to explain simple things like toe, that is pretty legit. Myself I would love to see more nerd stuff about the shocks. keep grinding!

And Fred's down in CA, stomp'n grapes, and NOT cold! Good job Dave.

Plus 1 for a merch store, love the content..

At my old job we nicknamed the uni-bit a "Paulie-bit" because Paulie on Orange County Chopper used them on everything. I still call them that! Haha

Watching the diff work was fun but also gave me flashbacks. Just had to do the diff on my Raptor due to a bad pinion bearing. I wish it was as simple as a video transition!

A lot of fun stuff in that area of the state, a lot of mine history to cool roads

I’m surprised you just didn’t pull that down with your dually. Great video, agree Montana is just beautiful.

Hope your getting some rest from the grind man. Watched the ua vids and that’s a quick tourn around. Take a break over the holidays and can’t wait or hear what came out of the “secret meetings” and see what’s under the tarp.

From all I have seen on MT the truck did great on UA. There were more full size truck's than normal. At least it looked like it to Me.

Always love the road trips! Another rad dirt head shed👍🏻

Weld washers on everything. Wallered out holes are a pain. I only run about 80 amps and use .065 filler rod. Learned that setup from the best welder I know.

What a great channel.

My crew cab’s back seat during hunting season looks like your passenger seat!

So glad to find you again. Like friburger said., Dave is a baaaaad man. Your rowdy dude. Keep it up.

Great job Dave.

I’m hoping butter Jeep makes a comeback soon 🤘🤘

Love Dave and Dirt Lifestyle Nate

Way to go Dave. I know is depressing working on off road vehicles sometimes it like wipe it your ass with a steering wheel.

that was a good video. i learned about gears and stuff!

Yes… of course I enjoyed this, as I do ALL your content. I’ve checked all Eminem songs for a ref to Louis Vuitton. No luck. So how did this beauty get its name? You are a natural at narrating these videos. Thanks loads.

Louis Viten will be show stopper at SEMA! Always good to show vehicles that Love Dirt!! Thanks

Bro, send that damaged panel on Louie V10 to Robby Layton. He'll be able to sort it no problem. Keep up the great work.

My takeaways from this video. You work your a$$ off. I enjoy the videos and I can't wait to get to finishing my rock buggy when I retire. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome videos Dave keep ‘em coming! Hell maybe someday we’ll get to see you and Fred back together from time to time!

Thumb control on the torch is a game changer, you’ll be welding upside down and inside out with ease(ier)you can spend a lot or a harbor freight on one and it’ll come with a smaller cup too.

#Blessed man for sure!!

Almost seems like the housing on that rear diff is bent. Would not be the first F250 that a previous owner overloaded and had no idea they did damage. Oh and your TIG welds are just fine, you are just comparing them to the gold you lay down with the MIG. Great work! Baller rig!

Go Dave go!

Hey Dave Good to see you and find your channel!! I always liked you and Fred's junkyard YJ run to the beach since I'm a YJ guy.. Still dreaming of doing a shorty reg cab super duty rocker / popup camper excursion rig.. but we'll see!

Love the content Dave. Chassisear is a good tool for helping pinpoint noises in components and isolating specific part failures within components.

39:11 is a cool truck, it is a 2022 7.3 super duty with 1972 f250 body. i just saw a walk-around on the channel ford era (i am not affiliated with this truck or channel, just thought it was cool) i think the guys that made it are "Jack'd UP Trucks"

32:32 every battery charger I've ever used has the same problem. 😂

Your channel is taking a exciting turn in direction, I can't wait do see what you do next. 💯 💯 💯 I would love to see your Mustang ll done up with SVT Super Coupe parts and motor. That motor is a vary popular dirt track racing engine. Jay Lenno featured a SVT today on his channel.

You had Petina Pete pass you in Utah!!

Loving the long format. Thank for yet another great vid! Thanks Dave!!

Hey Dave, another certified hood classic. Thanks.

I went all nostalgic when I saw your Cajon Speedway shirt in a prior video. I'm the guy that worked with your wife and was trying to get you insurance for your shop and the company said no....dummies..lol. You turned me on to watching Fred on DED and I became a huge fan. Miss you guys but stoked you both have KZfaq channels going and that you are doing cameos on other MT shows. Been watching a long time now. If you see this, please tell your wife "hi" for me and know that your kindness when we spoke made me a fan from the start. The shirt is what drove me to post this. Lol. All the best to you all!

Give me some merch to perch! Love ya Dave

Off road Wookies!!

Love this truck so much. My favorite build that you've done.

Some guys most viewed episodes are organizing and upgrading shops. Look at Taylor Ray, car guys like shops too

For the algorithm!

Can't wait to see videos on Butter Jeep again if that's the plan for that engine. You have a really rad fleet of vehicles and projects going on.

I went to grade school and junior high about 40 miles north of Butte in Deer Lodge. I’ve always loved that part of Montana.

I was in the market for a 2011+ gas superduty to replace my half ton, I now own a 2016 f250 single cab, and I partially blame you. Seeing how yours looked and performed sold it, I already have the 40s in the garage for it!

Your videos have really come a long way in a short time! Great work! Love your UA videos!!!! Been watching DED AGAIN! Miss it!

Thw Arc-droid is gonna be a game changer, can't wait to how you incorporate it.

So much to like in this video. I look forward to seeing what you make with the ArcDroid, and I hope you get the gear noise figured out soon.

That arc Droid is going to be a game changer in the shop, just seeing what the grind hard crew has done with theirs your gonna love it.

Did crap get into the wheel bearings from going down the axle tube? Maybe thats where the noise is coming from? Definately let us know when you find out! I love louis v10! "Big production" wouldn't have included the weld in washers, but i appreciate you showing them. Big time editors put 10 minutes of grinder sparks because they want to be all artsy fartsy i guess? I've made enough sparks i don't need slow mo spark extravaganza! Thanks for the great work Dave!

Thanks, Dave, lovin' these builds! You have all the cool stuff lol.

We do appreciate "Top Secret"👍👍👍

I love that truck!

The Arc Droid is freaking amazing

225# initial spring rate (500+400)/4 Absolutely love this thing and the channel!

guess you need a water tub under that thing now, glad to see the 4x4 contend

Hey Dave! I don't know for sure but that bump side looks like one I've seen that has a 7.3 godzilla in it. I think they call it patina Pete

Weedeater string helps the copper line from kinking

Glad you made the trip to SEMA, I really enjoyed seeing the truck in person! You did a great job on it man! I think I saw an engine under that cover back at the garage… could it be a V-8, in the LS variety!? 😅

Great video again Dave , keep them coming brother .

I love the king shocks!!

Great job Dave!! I look forward to seeing your uploads every Friday!!! Keep’em coming. Which one are you going to get rid of???

i was watching this and was thinking that i need to figure out what the table is and 2 seconds later your talking about it,

keep on keeping on Dave

Dont forget the chips!

You are a mile crusher !!! Hope you get the rearend figured out nothing's more frustrating than changing everything and still having the same problem

So you and Fred both wearing your orange beanie hats in your last videos. Connection HUMMMMM.......

🤘🏼

Hate to see your work banged up. Maybe relegate it too smaller trails. Super cool and well built truck.

Rad’

I always see ARB and Yukon lockers used, but I went with an Ox Locker in my build. I liked the manual locking function of it. I'd love to hear your opinion on them.

Great video Dave, really enjoyed the content. Maybe you should do a video on some of the areas you drive through on your way to different events. Thanks for taking the time to show us the area.

Love your channel Dave! Believe it or not, that diff cover might not be the best design for cooling.

Check out hwy 93 Montana im in the south end bitterroot valley. 5 FSJ Cherokees. An old yota.

If you ever feel like unloading one of your ford 4x4’s give me a shout

You can't take that to Sema, it actually has driveshafts 😂. Great content, love this truck!

Have you seen the guys on YT that are building a 4 valve v10? It’s crazy awesome. I’m a v10 fan, my excursion tow rig has almost 300k on it. Most reliable rig I’ve ever owned.

Such an awesome truck, hope you get the noise/ howling tracked down!

Dude I love this truck so much you should bring it out to Kaiser Mead and get some shots I would love to see this thing out here! This is my same channel just a different channel

Yep.

oh .. does the mystery ENGINE .. lol ... go POP !?

didn't know they make air lockers for those, can only guess they work the same as a grizzly locker but the spring is replaced with an air cylinder... so the unlock tension can be adjusted. but i have one of those axles in a car, thinking of the OEM limited slip option would be a near locker its self for a car using it because of the rear weight difference. those even as a open center have as much traction as a locked/spool 8.8/9 inch axle, just from the weight difference. 4 link aam1150 car? if it gets coil overs on the rear the bump stops move and it gets 3 inches lower. 330-550lb/in springs are very stiff for a straight axle car. "163lb/in was the oem" would need a sway bar using that soft of springs or the single wheel compressive articulation would be way to soft.

I parallel your route - but I go through east Nevada and due south from Twin Falls. 961 miles. I know most don't like it but I find it beautiful (well, except for the Las Vegas dump)...

You seem to have the same problem that I do. The last guy who worked in my shop didn't clean up after himself... I work alone

I hope you get that rear differential issue resolved soon! Love the truck though!

Dave, love watching your fab work & builds over the years. An observation from the bleachers…. If you experience some twist in your rear control arms while out wheeling, consider this design change. An enclosed shape (4-sided square, rectangle, or tube) resists twist better than an open channel (3-sided) of equivalent wall thickness. Think twisty OE stamped front & rear control arms. If you were to mount the shock above the CA using heavy-duty tabs on each side of the box, you’d have a link much more resistant to twist. Twisting may have been why the original shock bent. Think Pre-Runners & SCORE race trucks.

Love the truck. Did you ever check your MPG on this trip?

I am looking forward to getting the Accutune Fox coilovers I have on my project. I think what Accutune offers is awesome. For the same price as other retailers they will re-valve your shock to suit your application, instead of using off the shelf valving. The valving really should be tuned based on weight and spring rate and Accutune basically does that for free. They let you select different ride characteristics so you can have a comfortable ride, or a ride more tailored for performance. Dave, have you ever tried balance beads in big tires like this? My tire guy couldn't get my 37's balanced with weights so he put beads in them. My truck isn't ready yet so I have no idea if they will work.
