Its funny to see Derek actually passing other cars on the highway for a change! 😂
😂.Today you Win the internet. 👍
Like for cereal it's always the other way around🤣🤣
Came here to say exactly that.
I said the same thing 😂
He was just showing off for Jessica lol
You are by far one of the most entertaining personalities on CZcams and it's obviously not an act. I can tell by the reactions of your wife and sons when you rattle off one your "Derek-isims" and they don't bat an eye or crack a smile because it's just you being you. Beyond having a great attitude and great sense of humor, you are a wealth of automotive knowledge. I get entertainment and usually learn a new trick when it comes to turning a wrench. Keep up the good work!
Scott not to mention Derek shreds a guitar!
@@donaldfrazier5244 see I wondered about that. Thought maybe that’s why they relocated.
@@donaldfrazier5244 where can we see that side of him
@@donaldfrazier5244 I'll be dipped, he can shred a gitter??!
@@winguard96 I believe it was around Christmas last year he showed his stuff on the guitar
I love that you give out Hot wheels to the kids...brought tears to my eyes because my late husband collected Hot wheels and he'd walk around our neighborhood giving the children, boys and girls, the toys. He tried to include a Treasure Hunt in each batch of 5 or 6 cars. He'd say, I don't know if the kids got anything for Christmas. He was such a good man. I miss him so much. Keep that tradition of giving the Hot wheels to the kids. Derek you're a kind hearted soul, too.
I always enjoy your replies and treasure hunts
Deadwood, that's out here in my neighborhood, well not too far away - go there quite often from just a bit over here in Wyoming when I need to find my Aces and eights at the No. 10 Saloon. Even been there a few times when it was hot rods on Main and when it was full of motor bikes, it's only 11 more miles to Sturgis from Deadwood.
That's touching❤
One day...
You're the best car guy on CZcams dude. That old feller yelling "I'll be dipped!" says it all.
Thank you!
Wow you were going past that person that yelled out “I’ll be dipped“ it occurred to me that with your millions and millions of followers, you have to be recognized at virtually every moment of any tour you’re at.
thank you for all you’ve done you and your family, Derek it’s always a pleasure to watch your videos. Enjoy the rest of the week and the power tour ✌️
I went to a car show a couple years back and the amount of VGG attire I saw made me realize this as well. Saw at least 15-20 random people wearing VGG shirts and hats.
That and it’s written on the tailgate…. Probably recognized a feller though… You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a VGG fan…. He’s getting to be a household name… good for him..
When he drove an opposite way a bit earlier, people called him by name. Derek's famous!
@@tbirds5313 Went to a Shelby Cobra meetup in Ohio, three of us random strangers noticed our vgg hats randomly during the week, was pretty cool seeing others out in the wild
Content you have put out like this has inspired me to recently fly from Orlando FL to St. George Utah and drive a 95' Dodge 3500 Motorhome I purchased sight unseen 2200 miles back home to Jacksonville. Myself and a friend was able to do it without any serious problems aside from a fuel prices!
Sounds like a great time ! I'm in England but I woukd absoloutly love to just road trip across the States through all the small towns.
Hello to a fellow Jacksonville resident and VGG fan
Every VGG video = awesome 😎
Should’ve recorded it
I’m thinking the fuel cost was more than the price of the motor home
Wow Derek, that truck sounds absolutely beautiful with the cam that's in it. You definitely put the perfect exhaust on it. I loves it!
hey Derek slim chance u see this but my grandmother passed away at 4:27 am this morning and I've been trying to put a smile on my face all day and just couldn't then a fella uploaded a video and that smile as u would put came right back around thank you Derek appreciate all the hard work and proud of how much your channel has grown ! bless you and your family and always BRING THE THUNDER !
Any day with a vgg video is a good day, hope power tour treats you and your family well!
Favorite part of this video was seeing cases of hot wheels for the kids along the trip. Such a small thing but to think if the smiles on those kids faces catching a hot wheel while watching everything roll by brings a smile to a guys normally grumpy face. You guys are the best!
Not too often on your road rides that we get to see a fellow actually passing vehicles vs getting passed! Happy for you and your family!
Passing feels and is way safer than getting blown off the road by semi trucks with full trailers i tell you what
Thanks for sharing. Super channel fantastic collection of beautiful hot rods. It brings me back to the days when hot rods were common place. Absolutely love it stay safe everyone Artie 🇺🇸👍
Hope you and your family enjoys your well earned vacation, thank you for taking us along! The truck turned out awesome.
Thank you Jessica for all the work editing this for us. Great job
Thanks for bringing us all along for the ride Derek and Jess! It's great to see Chad's rig again. She is the real deal going to town rig and I ain't lying. Safe travels for you and your family and GOD SPEED!
You guys are awesome people. I’m happy just watching and owning a shirt has helped your family succeed further. Keep it up… you’re a true American 🇺🇸 🦅
Even knowing the success you've had so far on this trip, I'm still excited to watch this. Enjoying this entire build.
Heh, Derek runs into a random car party and they start imitating him perfectly lol
I knew power tour was this week, but have no clue how his trip has gone. Can't wait to see this!!
If you're not following on IG and FB, it's not my fault if this is a spoiler comment. 🙂
@@coachmattc a guy doesn't have those and doesn't want them. The wife does and subscribes or whatever but will just randomly show me stuff he posts.
Also, I didn't take your comment as a spoiler. Just saying I can't wait to see it and I don't know one way or the other.
@@natevanlandingham1945 Yeah, was just replying to @uralmash07 . But hadn't figured out the reply process on here. :)
You know it's going to be a good day when you see an upload by old mate Derek.
I'm so happy to see the culmination of your years of work, hoarding parts, and patience, finally pay off! it's kind of heartwarming to see this 'ol square body finally on the road. I hope that it bring many years of enjoyment to you and your family.
When you fired it up for the cold start, I was not expecting that kind of sound. Oh man!!
I was honored to meet you yesterday at the stop in Hoover, Alabama! Thanks for taking a minute from talking to Dan from DD Speed Shop to say hello to me!
Nice to meet you
“It’s got a four speed so It doesn’t go, ya know ‘fast’ down the highway but she’ll pull a house off the foundation”
Beautiful. What else could a guy ask for.
I’ve never seen a suburban with a 4 speed before! Cool!
Should have put a 5-speed in it. NV3500 if it's not going to haul, NV4500 if it is
It's a factory 4 speed. I'd never change it.
Also known as, "It would pull the world off of its butt if you had a big enough chain."
@@ViceGripGarage Well, it's your wallet.
I had a couple of those late Suburbans, both 350/700R4 and 13-ish was about what they got. I put a flat bug deflector on one and all it did was cost me about 1 MPG. So I took it back off.
For a second there at 11:30 I thought that was a Jack Daniel's bottle.
I hope one I'll be able to join you'all on a power tour with my own rig. Great videos, this is the only channel with 1+ hour long videos worth watching.
Hey, Betty White ain't got no AC, it has FC: Foot Conditioner.
I love it when the dotted lines line up perfectly with the FPS and they just stay still...
That young man that goes along just because….is soaking in every word..every move…and every thing his folks are involved in and doesn’t want to miss a thing that life throws his way
You two are doing great things with those boys
You know you've made it when you can pull into a parking lot and some random guy says "I'll be dipped"!! 😁👍
Like "Hell ya brother" but a different channel.
Really like when Flying Sparks Garage, joins you videos.
SO cool of you with the hot wheels. I bet a lot of those kids will remember that for a long time
With gas at $5.00 a gallon, I was just thinking "This trip wasn't cheap" and I was also thankful for my 1987 Honda Helix and its awesome gas mileage.
Undoubtedly your best work yet Derek. This rig screams VGG in a way even Independence can’t because your whole family gets to come along for the ride. It’s also obvious how much you love the thing. Great work man, keep doing what you do 👍
Two videos within a couple days!! Makes a guy real happy
She fires right up no issues at all right now on cold starts Perfect Derek @Vice Grip Garage
Derek and Jessica...everything in this video was...COOL! You are rockin' it, keepin' it real and you're staying the same as people with your now huge CZcams channel. You guys are awesome, thanks for the great videos.
Thank you Derek and Jessica! I feel like I'm getting a personal tour of the Power Tour! Have fun and stay safe, cant wait for tomorrow's episode.
This has been an awesome build. The rig sounds amazing. Enjoy the ride,,,I know I'll enjoy watching your videos of it
That exhaust sounds insane! I love the sound with or without the cutouts. Money well spent.
Derek, I really appreciate your appreciation for small businesses and for veterans. I work for a small business owned by my parents and I can confidently say it is what keeps America going.
The cold start sound is approved, great rig.
I really enjoyed the drive and ride Derek- thanks for taking us along as usual!! love small town America!
If every new generation kid could take a tour like that, You'd have a new generation of of classic car enthusiasts. Thanks for putting this video up Derek.
I like pausing the video, reading the road signs and seeing your route on these trips.
I am so excited for this series. The HRPT with Betty White was so wonderful to watch. It gave me summer vacation vibes just watching it.
I hope that you get to enjoy it in between all the filming and editing etc.
Cheers from germany.
I’m a Ford guy. But I dig this truck and glad to see her up and running instead of just sitting in the background of other projects and doubling as a table/catch all/parts storage.
Thank you for the content. Sorry we missed seeing y’all in Memphis! We literally just missed you, you got my Ford Expedition that was parked next to the red mustang when you filmed the parking lot. My oldest introduced me to your videos in 2020, we have not missed one since. It probably was best we didn’t get to meet you, he couldn’t go with us that day. He graduated high school 2 weeks ago, and started a mechanic job the first day of power tour. He would have been really sad if we got to meet you when he wasn’t there. Thank you for inspiring his love for wrenching. Tennessee summers are no joke, a lot different than North Dakota. Have safe travels.
hey Derek! thanks so much for takin' us with ya! I'm down here in Australia, and at my age probably won't get to the Power Tour before my clock winds down, so, you know loving' the adventure! Got a 73 Buick Regal 2 door in the garage, 455 so I guess I'll just climb in and imagine!
cheers, Russ
Wow - that truck sounds so unbelieveably good! What a mighty, mighty rumble! Fantastic!
Imma just say it sounds soo freaking good on a cold start 💪 fingers crossed it all goes smoothly for a guy and his loved ones
This is exactly the kind of content that motivates me to get my car done ASAP. The little lady and three little ones, cruising along sounds amazing to me.
"Longer than a night in Jail".....🤣🤣🤣 Awesome rig!
its a dream of mine to take my 1 year old son and 3 year old daughter on power tour in my 2006 boosted crew cab silverado! You are an inspiration to Dads everywhere! Keep up the grear work Derek!!
Just get out there & do it mate, love a good road trip, Rj in Oz
@@rjnation5042 we just lost their mother about 2 months ago so im gonna try and make as many memories as possible with my babies!
Thanks for all of the hard work editing these clips and putting out videos, no matter what it takes.
Thanks for bringing us along with you and the family Derek for us that couldnt make it @Vice Grip Garage
Them exhaust cut outs sound so Good Derek Perfect @Vice Grip Garage
Loved watching this rig come together VGG fam
I love it when it's a long haul trip video. Love the adventure and holding my breath to see if you make it. Can't wait till tomorrow!!🇺🇸❤️
perfect amount of cuts and editting. great work guys! excited for day 2!
Saw you in Pensacola today. It’s a small thing, but I love the drink holders in the front seat of your rig. Awesome!
I freaking love this guy and his family! Keep it coming Derek. What a great job and if I was in your garage at the right time, I would’ve bought a wobble-pop or 6 from the kids concession stand!!!!!!!
Watching these time lapse videos really makes me miss the open road, I was on a trip driving all the way from Phoenix, AZ up to Everett, WA with my kids, and my dog, such a wonderful trip it was... Love your content and channel Derek and family
Holy Moses! That startup sounded awesome.
I've had that 301 piece set as my main set of tools for almost 15 years and used for home and some professional use. Anytime someone is getting into working on cars that's what I recommend they start with. Has almost everything you need and only a few "throwaways"
That exhaust sounds amazing, would love to see the work underneath after power tour. Big shout out to your exhaust guy!
Totally agree! He/they did a fantastic job. I like how aggressive it sounds and the way it turns down in the rear corners.
Thanks! I did the exhaust. The mufflers were designed by Derek built by spintech. The whole setup is cool and the cutouts are the fastest I’ve ever seen.
This is my favorite project so far. Such a cool build. Glad to see it cruising around!
What I like the most about your content is you have an amazing family that is by your side 98.4758% of the time. That alone is the greatest part of your content that has me always waiting to view your vids. It's tough to make content when you don't have much suppresses your viewers. I need to look up the next year's date for power tour. I wanna get my rice burner ready for then. It's also my daily.
Professional S10 chop. He says get on in there. Another fan of your show 😅
Very cool cars, looks like a great time
I enjoy the hot rod power tour trips. Last year I had Covid and your power tour videos gave me something to look forward to while I was freezing in 100 degree weather with jeans and sweater on. Covid body chills are no joke! Seriously your videos are always a bright spot in my day! Keep it up!
Absolutely love the rig plenty of room looks awesome and it does better on gas than what I figured. Much love and respect. Have a blessed trip and y'all enjoy yourself ✌✌🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸
13mpg not bad for that big old Suburban nice lookin rig love the VGG Sticker on front Window @Vice Grip Garage
23:46 reminds me of the time my dad took his 3+3 into a parking garage in Minneapolis. He had a set of straw walkers in the bed to boot. It was one of those parking garage with the spiral drive exits. Yeah he couldnt quite make the turn and had to do about 300 backwards and forwards down the spiral cussing the whole way with a LINE of cars behind him......good times.
Hey Derek I remember watching this truck when you got it.
I'm so glad to see it improve how it did.
I love the crew cab but I gotta say that you’re buddies suburban with those beautiful turbine wheels is making a guy real jealous. That’s such a nice truck
A feller couldn’t be happier if it was my own rig! So glad to see that beast in the road chewin miles!!!
Love it, Derek and Jessi. Thank-you for taking us along. One day we'll be able to make it down and shake your hands!
Fun first day ! Thanks for the road shots, they brought back memories of when I lived in that neck of the highway.
"She is longer than a night in jail."
I would like to thank all of you so much for making family friendly top notch entertainment.
I'd love to attend one of these one day. I had no idea they existed until I started watching your channel a few years ago. Time sure has flown fella. Seemed like only a month or so ago, you had not so many subs and/or fans. Can't wait for you to break the 2 million milestone.
This is on par with the Catalina Wine Mixer!!! Bam!!!! 💥
Mr Grip, I like the junior mullet on your young human son. He looks like his dad. You and your family are an inspiration. I love what you are doing with the Hot Wheels cars to create that passion of automobiles in our future adults. Keep doing what your doing. Hope to meet you one day. Keep safe and GOD bless!!
Yes! It’s going to be a great morning! Thanks for the great content Derek!
Morning!
When GM came out with the 5.3, It's like a 325, and I said they should have made it a 327 and put 327 badges on certain vehicles it came in. I think it would have been good for sales. When I was a kid I remember my uncle having and loving some original 327s, and he said that he thinks GM did away with them because they were too good of an engine. lol.
Hes right. They cant sell you cars if the ones they do keep running. That's why EVERYTHING is junk today. Every year they need to make more money then the year before. I personally wouldnt bother buying a new vehicle.
I never seen a 327 c.i.
Truck looks and sounds great! Thanks for showing some of the scenery as you drive through. Keep the shiny side up and have a safe trip.
Thanks for all you do. My boy was stoked at the last power tour when you chucked him some hot wheels.
Appreciate it Derek! Always enjoy seeing your projects.
congrats on the stretch square body! looks excellent and that exhaust system sounds sinister be safe i’ll keep a cold snack in hand for the next vid
Way way back in the day a guy would cruise the old dirt roads maybe have a wobble pop. This brought back a memory. Good times!
So happy to see that truck getting used how you wanted. And I LOVE the hyperlaps hiway shots.
It’s always an absolute fabulous day when you post man you’re my favorite!!!
Great way to wake up
The first episode I watched of you was when you painted your brothers truck with that $99 white paint job. Been hooked ever since. Just wanted to say thank you for all you have done. Us veterans take our hats off to you just because it's nice to see a real American with real values.
Was that the episode using a one grit sand block?
@@kerrylewis2581 K10 that he said his brother would run though a dich or something lol not sure. eBay special fleet white
Wow love the sound of that truck! Love the hot wheels - any kid that gets one will never forget it! Another thing that makes VGG top shelf! Thanks for taking us along …
You’re a special human Derek lol. Doing it for the rest of us that don’t.
Awesome day one content...looking forward to seeing the rest of the journey..stay safe and keep that A/C cranking😆👍🇺🇸
Safe travels!!!!
Awesome job guys!
Luouououooove that burban!!!!
When I was a kid, we had a '75 3/4 ton camper special. 454 and a Turbo 400, AC and dual saddle tanks. Empty, she got 8mpg. With a 8 ft camper, horse trailer and 2 horses, she got... 8 mpg.
have fun guys and gal. it's great seeing the crew cab finally out and about. got to love those ol Cheby's.
Maybe some air shocks for the rear? So you can adjust its look depending on the load in the back.
I appreciate your hard work mr. Derek with all the videoing and editing and doing the show its really appreciated and enjoy every moment of it, cant wait for the rest, thank you sir to you and your family.
That was awesome seeing the sites and cars thanks for sharing it appreciate it
So glad you take us with you on family things .love to be alone for the ride brother. But I need snacks and a wobble pop. Plz put the cooler in the back .lol yeeyee
A guy finds these family adventures really exciting! Hope you guys have a fun, safe and memorable trip. Bless you Derek and your family! ♥️🚗
5 years of vgg that went fast, by the way the roof screws u can get the washers, and the pickup sounds 👍
Woo hoo would love to be there thanks for taking the time to show us all the fun and wonderful people take care and enjoy
My Ice cube maker wasn't working on my rig and because of watching you, I felt comfortable to tackle the issue on my own., It is blowing good Ice cubes now.
