IMHO the 'firetruck' just SCREAMS CUMMINS! They make gobs of torque, are more fuel efficient than any other diesel engine I'm aware of and are probably the most reliable. Plus, the inline design is easier to make 'fit the engine bay'. Practicality pretty much sums it up. Giddy up.
So proud of you guys. This channel was never a 1 hit wonder . You guys grinded hard and made and are making incredible machines to get where you are. Much love from Ontario Canada.
You know, a few house-building episodes wouldn't hurt at all; we're all fans of seeing things being built, not too fussy what it is usually either :P EDIT: ooh, and furniture made out of old car-parts too, more of that please!
Merch suggestion: GHPC tig torch sleeves. 8.3 cummins is my vote for the fire truck. I bought a bluebird bus for $200 when my landlord kicked us out of our apartment to do renovations. It had a blown engine and it was super easy to replace and work on. I did the whole thing in my parents driveway with basic tools. Its also super reliable and doesn't care how I treat it.
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo it's was the tree house build that bought me here. The power wheels vehicles didn't exist. You guys came a long way. Congratulations on everything. 🙃
jesus. i think this is the coolest property on the planet. i would even vote it above places like pastrana land. that house and the diy/ nature and engine parts vibe is just incredible.
I can tell you already, your forgetting the second floor, with the wet bar, hot tub and parts store. AND my bedroom where I can ride my Harley into, because my bike stays in the house with me. I built a ramp so I can ride up to the deck, then through the sliding glass door into my living room where it’s sitting as I type this.
One of the things I love about watching you guys is that you live a lifestyle that I couldn't even imagine. You all have earned every bit of your success and I wish nothing but more for you guys in the future. Super jealous of the shop plans too!
Can’t wait for the workshop build! Thanks for the update on Sam, hope it works out for him just as well as you guys! Happy to see the new crew, it’s amazing to see the upgrade in quality and intensity already.
When you build the shop, I'm sure you know this, but build lots of walls/half walls for room for machines, toolboxes, etc. Even with a large shop, you will run out of space in short order if its a large open area! So happy to finally see the inside of the house. I definitely want to build something similar someday
I've driven and worked on trucks my whole life and have always been impressed with the International DT466 engine for good power and dependability. That is what I would recommend for the firetruck.
You guys keepin it 100% authentic. Everything including your YT content is awesome, Ethan creativity (and energy) is endless. Never been GHP which haven't followed to the end ... Different world to surburbia here in the UK!
An engineering tip for building up berms and jumps with sand and mud, add a few layers of fabric or chicken wire. To understand why, look at those videos of sand cubes holding up a truck with paper towels in between. Basically it helps bind the loose material together and keep it from sliding or washing away too easily. It’s what highways do, they build up their berms a few feet at a time, lay down a permeable fabric and lay down more etc. I’m sure you could source some scraps of garden liner or chicken wire to use.. it makes a massive difference so it’s absolutely worth the time and effort to source and do. When I built a small shooting range at my friends property we skipped that step and had to rebuild it 3 times until we just started over, used garden liner strips and it’s lasted for 6 years now with only tiny adjustments, mostly due to rain and eating thousands of bullets.
i love the lifestyle type videos that you guys make. adds more personality to the channel and you can't have enough of that. you guys kickass! and Ethans property is a dream
For bar stool tops, turn disk out of some nice rustic/weathered wood you can also harden with cactus juice epoxy and then clear cast epoxy into center so you can see the sprocket and what now from the top. Would look amazing. Also build little front room on the man door, so you dont let too much warm air out from the new garage when you walk in or out. Its also good place to store some beer to keep it nice and chill with out freezing it.
What I love about you guys is that your team shoots for the stars. Maybe at first you had to see what other you tubers are doing. Now everyone is so far behind you, there is no reason to to see what they are doing, then still never cease to amaze me. Then at this level you have promoted so many other you tube builders to help them. If I can swing it some how, I want to be like you guys and never grow up and just send these projects we are working on. You are an inspiration.
Wow the inside of your home is beautiful. I think it’s cool that you guys are investing back into the channel by building a new shop to bring us more content. You guys definitely deserve the upgrade for sure.
You definitely need to colab with Fireball tool to get your new fabrication setup done! He’s the MASTER of metal fabrication and making cool tools and stuff. He works on a truly MASSIVE scale, so I’m sure he can help you upgrade easily!
While I haven't personally worked on them, a good engine that I think you guys could use for the firetruck is the LDT-465C engine that was used in the M35A2 military trucks. The C's with the whistler turbo topped out at I think 190 horse and 400 ish footpounds of torque, but they could be turned up for relatively cheap. The biggest benefit to using this engine would be that it is a multifuel engine. You could run engine oil cut with sawdust if you so desired. I would also recommend converting the oil filters to modern canisters with anti drainback valves, since the original design let all the oil drain back into the sump, which starved the engines in the first 20 seconds of startup (every time they are started) These engines go for around 4 grand in good condition, which is comparable to a more powerful cummins 6.7 or 8.1, but I think if you guys don't want to worry too much about what you fuel it up with, or you want to make use of all the oil changes you're making, it makes for an excellent disposal system. Oh yes, these engines are 478 CUI inline 6's
i like the fact that on almost every project they said "Its all good its pretty much done BUT.... it needs this or and axle or a drive shaft" anit easy takin care of a lot of projects
I drove through Northern Idaho once. And I broke down. I went to a local bar to gather my self. And everyone there was a mechanic or machines or something and all where kind and helpful. I think it's part of why I love your channel. You seem like those kind of people.

Guys, I found your channel about 18months ago after searching for KTM engined quads, I had a Polaris Outlaw 525 IRS with a blown motor, decided to stick a 690 in it as it was easier, but anyway, since finding your channel I spent hours watching every video from the start up to where I am now. If I ever get lucky enough for a trip to the states I literally want to come and just shake your hands, just to say I have. I don't watch any other CZcams channels with such dedication as yours, I think it's just the whole way that you guys are down to earth and just 'alive'. Please don't ever forget your roots and keep the channel the same. Keep it up lads, all the way from Wales in the UK.
Would be great to see videos on the house and new shop but definitely recommend slamming a Cummins in the fire truck, probably the bread van flavored variety for the beefier transmission.
@@TheSteveac if you're gonna do a common rail might as well get a 6.7, the guys at power driven diesel are more up grindhards alley if you ask me. And much closer.
One of the best upgrades I ever made to my shop was a diving wall. I had a clean room and dirty room. Clean room for engine work and painting and dirty for grinding, cutting and welding. It meant I didn't have to cover the car when I was was grinding and didn't have to cover the tools when I paint.
This is all so awesome guys, I am very happy for you! I knew when I first saw two guys riding a pink Barbie Mustang go-kart that you were destined to succeed and you both have done very well proving me right. Congrats on the new shop!
I've loved watching you work in your current shop, but the new one will be awesome! Have Merlin from "Old school garage" help you put in a 12 valve Cummins would be my vote for the fire truck.
I believe Mr. Demo Ranch knows a guy in Texas that can make your dreams come true on that toy hauler engine build....awesome content! This is what this country needs right now, outdoors, zip lines, engines, and toys!
The music around the 32 minute mark is frickin SICK. Got some real DOOM vibes from it, definitely dig it. Thanks for taking the time to make this video, it's cool getting an update on all the stuff we haven't seen in a while!
I would love to see a Cummins in that truck backed with an Allison transmission. I truly love seeing your guys energy and love even more to see your builds.
The motor itself is what creates the 3rd phase, the capacitors in that electrical box are to reduce the in-rush while starting the relatively large motor. The motor is able to do that using the relationship between the windings and spinning magnetic fields. Relatively simple concept, but the best way to create 3ph power these days is to use a vfd.
Really cool house! The zip lines look like a lot of fun for you young guys. I'de have to have some kinda stand/sit in one. Enjoy as much as you can while you can!
I use an old chest of drawers as a general purpose hardware, electrical and plumbing parts and tool holder. Cheap, easily found and very practical. So happy for you getting a new shop. Lots of plans and great stuff coming for your future. Looking forward to seeing it all! As Always, May God Bless you and yours!
So genuinely happy yall are growing and doing things like this. Watch your videos every week and want nothing but success for you guys. Can't wait to see the new shop progress and even cooler projects. Way to go guys!
I think the old fire truck deserves a buzzin" dozen with straight stacks, think how it awesome it would sound on the pedal and off when you crack the jake!
LOVE the bearing cap handles idea - with alloy ones from a head you could easily chamfer or radius them and polish and have them look legitimately great. With the steel ones it'd be more work but you still could, and could laquer or paint or whatever. Cool idea!
Firetruck engine suggestion: If you like something a little different, see if you can fnd an aircooled Deutz diesel. They've been making those since forever and can be found in some trucks, agricultural equipment,mining machines, etc. They come in straight 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 cylinder as well as V6, V8 and V12. With or without turbo. They're not the most powerful, but they should last pretty much forever, plus they look damn cool.
Great video, fantastic! Good to get a summary of the vehicles and a better look around the land. Your house is lovely and has some great features. Can’t wait to see the completed new shop and wish you all the best for the future guys. Glad you’re growing and continuing the great content!
This is so awesome - thank you for taking us on a tour. It looks so much like my dreams. The house is beautiful, I tend to decorate with my past projects as well. The new building is going to unleash the potential - so much room! Should you reinforce part of the roof so that it can be a sky jump? Yes, not a ski jump, sky jump..
Finally! Id like to see some of the house/shop builds. You guys deserve a MUCH better shop and have for a few years! That one might even be too small. Your kitchen is laid out exactly as mine wtf lol
I like how you have Dupont tyvek and then you have the competitor house wrap on the same side and you have a little bit of the original green siding that you had up there when it was your parents house
As a viewer that has been watching GHPC right from the start. I definitely want to say congratulations to you guys with the announcement of your brand new shop or should I say build center or perhaps GHPC headquarters. since from the way you described it will be so much better, not only for the AWESOME build's and creations that you guys produce. but also for every aspect of what you guys and GHPC as an entity do and making it operate like a well oiled machine so to speak. I probably wouldn't be too far off in saying that a large amount of the success that GHPC has achieved. is due to you guys thinking outside the box. and the remainder is from a lot of diligence and hard work. those zip lines are an interesting mode of transportation getting around your property. and Edwin answered a question I had, what if for some reason you get struck in the middle of the zip line? and the answer is sort of what I thought it would be. and that is to be flexible and monuverable enough to get yourself up on to the zip line and right the dolly. and to have Ethan somewhere nearby to throw him a rope good save guy's. I would have to guess that it wouldn't be too good to have to drop from that highth. that would almost for sure mean the possibility of some broken bones. those are the times when it's great to have a good buddy around to help you thought. and because of you guy's partnering up and making GHPC happen it has allowed you to live even more of a great life. where you can live life at wide open throttle and get the most out of it. and the bonus is viewers like me can ride along with you. and get to experience some of it vicariously through you and GHPC. so keep up the great work guy's I sure appreciate it. oh and I wanted to mention AWESOME Job on the house. it takes a little extra knowledge to build a house that will hold up well though North Idaho winters. and the consideration you give to repurposing is amazing, and lot more people should consider that since it's way too much of a throw away world these days. it's sad to not have Sam as much of a part of GHPC he really seems like a decent guy and seemed like a really good fit with GHPC. I had a conversation with Edwin and he said due to the same circumstances it was sad that it had to happen. and he said that Sam would stop by and possibly make an appearance, every now and then when he could get the chance to. and you have two new members to the GHPC team that are similar to Sam, in the respect's that they seem like decent guys that will be a good fit with GHPC. and each one has respective skills that will be quite helpful to GHPC, to ramp up productivity which should add to the incredible success that GHPC has been already having. as a viewer that has watched GHPC from the beginning it's amazing to see how much you guy's have grown and how much you have done. and that the old shop has served it's purpose and with the new shop this Will usher in a whole new era for GHPC. again keep up the good work guy's you deserve it.
Wow the house details are awsome, wood and car parts i love it 👍 I never miss a youtube video up here in Quebec, Canada. Cant wait to see the new shop, you guys are great 🤟🤟
These guys making dreams come true not only for themselves but for other people and they deserved it you can't wait for more dream house and dream garage We'll accomplish each other
Hey, If you ever were to complete the exhaust on the 2j mower, a stack of some sort would look amazing! My Dad once put a little tractor muffler on a wheel horse and have never seen anyone do something similar.
Congratulations on starting the shop! You guys deserve it, you've been killing it. Awesome to see all the new employees and how well the channel's been working out for you. Hard work can pay off! 😁👍👍
You guys should definitely do a motorized trolley build for a longer zip line. Also, some house builds would be fun to watch and a good way to find time to get it “finished” up
If you get any more 3 phase equipment, you can buy cheap 3 phase vfds (variable frequency drive) off of eBay. They serve the same purpose as the phase converter but are smaller, simpler and fairly cheap. I use an 8hp vfd rated at 25 amps continuous load to run my 3 phase compressor at home. Works great and you can wire in e-stops and other things. Just a little tip, hope it helps. Awesome videos as always.
You might want to think about having the brackets for a 2 floor at the front and a gantry to pick up and place stuff on that 2 floor. The gantry can even help make the 2 floor later on. Good job keep on going having fun and giving content to the masses.
Wow this is crazy so much progress since the beginning! I’d say a c15 caterpillar would be sweet, or the 12 valve will be the simplest with a few bolt ons to get more power. Congratulations Ethan and Edwin can’t wait to see future episodes in the new shop!
The fire truck should definitely have a Cummins! And the first guy you wanna contact for that project would be Rick from DEBOSS GARAGE. czcams.com/users/DEBOSSGARAGEfeatured You could make some seriously cool colabs with him on many future projects. He's basically doing his stuff in the same spirit as you guys, but from a more automotive perspective. And he's a wizard with any engine and a well seasoned diesel mechanic with an eye for weird projects exactly like your old fire truck. He has done a ton of colabs before. I bet he would love it.
There are a lot of engine builders that will build you a 632 big block, and will build a better one for less money than the GM one. There is a shop called Raymac racing engines in Mansfield Texas that sells a 747 cubic inch big block designed for large rv’s and duallies that tow heavy. Insane torque and runs on cheap gas. That being said, a diesel swap would be better in my opinion. Cummins would be cool, but maybe a Common Rail instead of a 12 valve. It’s a little more involved, but you can tune them with the right software. They start easier in the cold, where the p-pump 12 valves don’t like to start in the cold. The older VE pump Cummins start great in the cold, but the pump won’t support near as much power. The Common Rail (03 and up but 04.5-07 are the best) spool big turbos the quickest, and are really the most drivable anywhere from stock to tuned to the max. You can detune it from crazy to towing with just a laptop, or a 5 tune switch kit, where a mechanical diesel needs some real work to turn it down.
You guys deserve this so much, still mind blown it took you so long for you all to hit a million subs. You’re so talented, thanks for all the great videos, keep it up
One of my favorite videos. Always wondered about the house, all the personal touches are very cool and even the glow in the dark epoxy in the Osage orange blew me away. Like the personal info, keep up the good work guys.
Covering home's has been my career for nearly 20 years!! Id come do it for nothin but room an board. Itd be awesome working on ur house while your shredin around the property!!!
Super proud of where yall have come! There is so much epic in this video. Please pleaee please tell me that you're building a Jetstream to tow behind the Barbie Camper!!! A GHPC Jetstream would be epic!
I remember when you guys first started out the rogue Fab tubing Bender used to live on the floor and then they sent you the table with the wheels on which makes it a lot better
One of the most talented fabricators on CZcams! Its amazing watching you guys engineer these crazy with pen, paper and some cardboard! If the back of the new shop is going to be so close to the ground you should consider blending it into the hillside and making a living roof, it would save even more on heating and cooling and totally blend into the outdoor paradise you guys have there.
You should get someone to dredge the pond out for you (because you're too busy to take on more projects), so in the summer, you can drop into it from the zip line. You can also move a lot of that sand to a beach for the pond. Just an idea.
IMHO the 'firetruck' just SCREAMS CUMMINS! They make gobs of torque, are more fuel efficient than any other diesel engine I'm aware of and are probably the most reliable. Plus, the inline design is easier to make 'fit the engine bay'.

All of the stuff in the house is so cool. I'm definitely going to steal some of these ideas once I actually manage to buy a place.
For bar stool tops, turn disk out of some nice rustic/weathered wood you can also harden with cactus juice epoxy and then clear cast epoxy into center so you can see the sprocket and what now from the top.

The music around the 32 minute mark is frickin SICK. Got some real DOOM vibes from it, definitely dig it. Thanks for taking the time to make this video, it's cool getting an update on all the stuff we haven't seen in a while!
Glad to see you guys are doing so well and have grown so much🤘🤘
We need a video of you just working on the house 💪💯
I would love to see a Cummins in that truck backed with an Allison transmission. I truly love seeing your guys energy and love even more to see your builds.
The motor itself is what creates the 3rd phase, the capacitors in that electrical box are to reduce the in-rush while starting the relatively large motor. The motor is able to do that using the relationship between the windings and spinning magnetic fields. Relatively simple concept, but the best way to create 3ph power these days is to use a vfd.
Probably got the setup with the old china mill. A vfd sure is nice for speed control for about $500
Really cool house! The zip lines look like a lot of fun for you young guys. I'de have to have some kinda stand/sit in one. Enjoy as much as you can while you can!
I use an old chest of drawers as a general purpose hardware, electrical and plumbing parts and tool holder. Cheap, easily found and very practical. So happy for you getting a new shop. Lots of plans and great stuff coming for your future. Looking forward to seeing it all! As Always, May God Bless you and yours!
thanks!
So genuinely happy yall are growing and doing things like this. Watch your videos every week and want nothing but success for you guys. Can't wait to see the new shop progress and even cooler projects. Way to go guys!
Thank you so much!!
I think the old fire truck deserves a buzzin" dozen with straight stacks, think how it awesome it would sound on the pedal and off when you crack the jake!
You could put the editing loft up in one of the corners and run a staircase up to it in with windows in the editing loft can look down over the garage
That’s a great idea!
LOVE the bearing cap handles idea - with alloy ones from a head you could easily chamfer or radius them and polish and have them look legitimately great. With the steel ones it'd be more work but you still could, and could laquer or paint or whatever. Cool idea!
"it just happened to catch fire at just that right moment"
That should be a T-shirt :)
Awesome work boys!! Been watching since the start of the channel 🤙🏼
Thanks man! Glad you’ve stuck around!
Firetruck engine suggestion: If you like something a little different, see if you can fnd an aircooled Deutz diesel. They've been making those since forever and can be found in some trucks, agricultural equipment,mining machines, etc. They come in straight 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 cylinder as well as V6, V8 and V12. With or without turbo. They're not the most powerful, but they should last pretty much forever, plus they look damn cool.
Great video, fantastic! Good to get a summary of the vehicles and a better look around the land. Your house is lovely and has some great features. Can’t wait to see the completed new shop and wish you all the best for the future guys. Glad you’re growing and continuing the great content!
Thank you very much!
This is so awesome - thank you for taking us on a tour. It looks so much like my dreams. The house is beautiful, I tend to decorate with my past projects as well. The new building is going to unleash the potential - so much room! Should you reinforce part of the roof so that it can be a sky jump? Yes, not a ski jump, sky jump..
Finally! Id like to see some of the house/shop builds. You guys deserve a MUCH better shop and have for a few years! That one might even be too small. Your kitchen is laid out exactly as mine wtf lol
Man I am so excited for the Grind Hard team! This will explode your production and productivity!
I like how you have Dupont tyvek and then you have the competitor house wrap on the same side and you have a little bit of the original green siding that you had up there when it was your parents house
As a viewer that has been watching GHPC right from the start. I definitely want to say congratulations to you guys with the announcement of your brand new shop or should I say build center or perhaps GHPC headquarters. since from the way you described it will be so much better, not only for the AWESOME build's and creations that you guys produce. but also for every aspect of what you guys and GHPC as an entity do and making it operate like a well oiled machine so to speak. I probably wouldn't be too far off in saying that a large amount of the success that GHPC has achieved. is due to you guys thinking outside the box. and the remainder is from a lot of diligence and hard work. those zip lines are an interesting mode of transportation getting around your property. and Edwin answered a question I had, what if for some reason you get struck in the middle of the zip line? and the answer is sort of what I thought it would be. and that is to be flexible and monuverable enough to get yourself up on to the zip line and right the dolly. and to have Ethan somewhere nearby to throw him a rope good save guy's. I would have to guess that it wouldn't be too good to have to drop from that highth. that would almost for sure mean the possibility of some broken bones. those are the times when it's great to have a good buddy around to help you thought. and because of you guy's partnering up and making GHPC happen it has allowed you to live even more of a great life. where you can live life at wide open throttle and get the most out of it. and the bonus is viewers like me can ride along with you. and get to experience some of it vicariously through you and GHPC. so keep up the great work guy's I sure appreciate it.
oh and I wanted to mention AWESOME Job on the house. it takes a little extra knowledge to build a house that will hold up well though North Idaho winters. and the consideration you give to repurposing is amazing, and lot more people should consider that since it's way too much of a throw away world these days. it's sad to not have Sam as much of a part of GHPC he really seems like a decent guy and seemed like a really good fit with GHPC. I had a conversation with Edwin and he said due to the same circumstances it was sad that it had to happen. and he said that Sam would stop by and possibly make an appearance, every now and then when he could get the chance to. and you have two new members to the GHPC team that are similar to Sam, in the respect's that they seem like decent guys that will be a good fit with GHPC. and each one has respective skills that will be quite helpful to GHPC, to ramp up productivity which should add to the incredible success that GHPC has been already having. as a viewer that has watched GHPC from the beginning it's amazing to see how much you guy's have grown and how much you have done. and that the old shop has served it's purpose and with the new shop this Will usher in a whole new era for GHPC. again keep up the good work guy's you deserve it.
Wow the house details are awsome, wood and car parts i love it 👍
I never miss a youtube video up here in Quebec, Canada.
Cant wait to see the new shop, you guys are great 🤟🤟
Should definatly go a diesel for a toy hauler, you will go bankrupt on gas otherwise.
Would love to see a colab with deboss garage
These guys making dreams come true not only for themselves but for other people and they deserved it you can't wait for more dream house and dream garage We'll accomplish each other
It’s crazy to see how far you guys have come and keep coming! Happy to see it honestly! Keep pumping out the content!
Thanks man! We appreciate the support!
I live in south Jersey. We lack, the hills, snow, and open space to have what you have. I live vicariously through you. 👍
Hey, If you ever were to complete the exhaust on the 2j mower, a stack of some sort would look amazing! My Dad once put a little tractor muffler on a wheel horse and have never seen anyone do something similar.
I'm stoked for you guys! I can't wait to see what you guys do with the extra room. :)
thanks man!
Congratulations on starting the shop! You guys deserve it, you've been killing it. Awesome to see all the new employees and how well the channel's been working out for you. Hard work can pay off! 😁👍👍
You guys should definitely do a motorized trolley build for a longer zip line. Also, some house builds would be fun to watch and a good way to find time to get it “finished” up
Those are both great ideas!
If you get any more 3 phase equipment, you can buy cheap 3 phase vfds (variable frequency drive) off of eBay. They serve the same purpose as the phase converter but are smaller, simpler and fairly cheap. I use an 8hp vfd rated at 25 amps continuous load to run my 3 phase compressor at home. Works great and you can wire in e-stops and other things. Just a little tip, hope it helps. Awesome videos as always.
Thanks for the tip!
I love seeing you guys succeed!
"That box is live?!"
"Yes, yes it is!"
😂
whats going on with the triumph, i know you were having a lot of issues with it but it'd be a shame not to finish it, such a sick build idea
Best house ever. Ziplines are awesome. The new garage is gonna be super rad. I can't wait to see the next phase of GH
You might want to think about having the brackets for a 2 floor at the front and a gantry to pick up and place stuff on that 2 floor. The gantry can even help make the 2 floor later on. Good job keep on going having fun and giving content to the masses.
Wow this is crazy so much progress since the beginning! I’d say a c15 caterpillar would be sweet, or the 12 valve will be the simplest with a few bolt ons to get more power. Congratulations Ethan and Edwin can’t wait to see future episodes in the new shop!
This has been a long time coming, I'm so excited for the new shop and its development process!
EDIT: Thanks Steven!
The fire truck should definitely have a Cummins! And the first guy you wanna contact for that project would be Rick from DEBOSS GARAGE.

You could make some seriously cool colabs with him on many future projects. He's basically doing his stuff in the same spirit as you guys, but from a more automotive perspective.
And he's a wizard with any engine and a well seasoned diesel mechanic with an eye for weird projects exactly like your old fire truck. He has done a ton of colabs before. I bet he would love it.
There are a lot of engine builders that will build you a 632 big block, and will build a better one for less money than the GM one. There is a shop called Raymac racing engines in Mansfield Texas that sells a 747 cubic inch big block designed for large rv’s and duallies that tow heavy. Insane torque and runs on cheap gas. That being said, a diesel swap would be better in my opinion. Cummins would be cool, but maybe a Common Rail instead of a 12 valve. It’s a little more involved, but you can tune them with the right software. They start easier in the cold, where the p-pump 12 valves don’t like to start in the cold. The older VE pump Cummins start great in the cold, but the pump won’t support near as much power. The Common Rail (03 and up but 04.5-07 are the best) spool big turbos the quickest, and are really the most drivable anywhere from stock to tuned to the max. You can detune it from crazy to towing with just a laptop, or a 5 tune switch kit, where a mechanical diesel needs some real work to turn it down.
Ethan's house its just what my dream house looks like, it has random reporpossed things, not to big but not that small either, love it🔥💓
The crunchy taco needs a full long travel setup with triple bypass shocks and 40 inch tires🤟 go full prerunner with it
So happy for you guys!!! can't wait to see the new shop, lover the tour, wanted to see something like this for quite some time! thanks guys!
Man good for all you guys you’re living the dream keep it up
You guys deserve this so much, still mind blown it took you so long for you all to hit a million subs. You’re so talented, thanks for all the great videos, keep it up
I think for the fire truck engine you should do a 24 volve Cummins with a compound turbo and a 6 spead Allison transmission from a Chevy Duramax
Super proud of your growth! Representing North Idaho correctly. Keep killing it.
One of my favorite videos. Always wondered about the house, all the personal touches are very cool and even the glow in the dark epoxy in the Osage orange blew me away. Like the personal info, keep up the good work guys.
You guy's are living a life I couldn't only dream about I envy you!!!
Covering home's has been my career for nearly 20 years!! Id come do it for nothin but room an board. Itd be awesome working on ur house while your shredin around the property!!!
Super proud of where yall have come! There is so much epic in this video.
Please pleaee please tell me that you're building a Jetstream to tow behind the Barbie Camper!!! A GHPC Jetstream would be epic!
You guys are living the dream, so jealous of what you have created. Keep the your awesome content coming. Love from Down Under.
The shop plans sound great! Kind of a life goal to see your builds in person. Maybe after I build my next project.
I remember when you guys first started out the rogue Fab tubing Bender used to live on the floor and then they sent you the table with the wheels on which makes it a lot better
One of the most talented fabricators on CZcams! Its amazing watching you guys engineer these crazy with pen, paper and some cardboard!
If the back of the new shop is going to be so close to the ground you should consider blending it into the hillside and making a living roof, it would save even more on heating and cooling and totally blend into the outdoor paradise you guys have there.
You should get someone to dredge the pond out for you (because you're too busy to take on more projects), so in the summer, you can drop into it from the zip line. You can also move a lot of that sand to a beach for the pond. Just an idea.
