- [Steve] Keep a look out for
  the exciting new series, Junkyard Gold,
  hosted by me, Steve Magnante,
  where we scour America's junkyards  for automotive treasures.
  This is a good one.
  Premieres December 1st, exclusively  on Motor Trend OnDemand.
  (truck engine revving)  - This time on Roadkill,
  we're bringing Stubby  Bob back from the dead!
  (truck engine rattling)  Oh, oh it's broke now.
  Oh my God!
  What did you do?
  - [Tony] I don't think it  liked the two-three shift.
  (Finn laughing)
  (engine revving)  (tires screeching)
  (heavy rock music)
  (truck engine puttering)
  - [Finn] This is it.
  Stubby Bob is makin' a comeback.
  As you'll remember, this is our
  1950 Ford F6 two-ton dump truck.
  I picked it up off a farm in Tennessee
  and surprised Freiburger with it.
  We cut four feet off  the back of the chassis,
  put a keg in for a gas tank,  and Stubby Bob was born.
  We kept the stock suspension,  wheels, brakes, and engine,
  and tried to road trip it but it sucked.
  It didn't run well, the  brakes barely worked,
  and we basically let it  sit around for a year
  until Freiburger had the genius idea
  to put a blown Big-Block Chevy in the back
  and try to make it wheelie.
  We put a junkyard 454 in backwards
  and connected it to a Gearstar 4L80E
  electronic overdrive transmission
  and coupled that to a  V-drive out of a boat
  in the cab that connects the driveshaft,
  and lo and behold, we've got  a monster wheelie machine.
  It's great because it does wheelies
  but horrible because it has no seat belts,
  no safety, and the stock suspension,
  which I'm pretty sure broke  when it slammed to the ground.
  So now, Tony and I want to make Bob
  a little more streetable, a little safer,
  and then road trip it  to the Eagle Field Drags
  in Firebaugh, California.
  And, of course, do some amazing wheelies.
  (truck engine revving)
  - Yo, this is a total stroke  of genius, this truck.
  - There it is.  - I love this thing.
  - This may be the only  good thing in my life
  I've built other than children.
  - It's a terrible idea,  beautifully executed.
  - It really hurts me to look at it.
  I got to be honest.  - That's hard.
  - The last time I was in this thing,
  it folded me into a pretzel.  - Yeah.
  - 'Cause here's what happened, right?
  Big wheelie, hard landing,
  something up here broke.
  Look at that rear shackle.  - Oh, yeah, look.
  It fully extended.  - Oh, it bent it.
  Oh, it's unrolled it!  - Yeah.
  That's insane.
  This is balancing the entire weight,
  this corner of the car,
  (chuckles) on this little cup--
  - [Finn] With a vertical piece of metal.
  - [Tony] It's ridiculous.
  - I wonder if it even runs.
  - [Tony] It's a little worse  for sittin', man, jeez.
  - These are all brand new.  - Everything is so crusty.
  - There's no hope the battery's  charged but give it a try.
  - Nothin'.
  Battery connected?
  - Dude, there's no  batter in here! (laughs)
  - Guys, there's no battery in here.
  - (laughing) The battery's gone.
  It needs fixing.
  - Yeah, if we want to do  anything with this car
  we got to put some hands on  it, put some hours in it.
  We need to tow this thing  out of here in one piece.
  - There's a car.
  - Alright, after this we're  even for the Firebird.
  (Finn laughing)  Completely even.
  - [Tow Truck Driver] That's perfect.
  - It's perfect, the guy said it's perfect.
  - Good game, way to hustle.  - Whoo-hoo!
  (loud whirring)
  (deep bass music)
  - Oh goodness, that's awful.
  So this things spends  a lot of time outside
  and either through the  headers or through this scoop
  it's gotten a ton of water in the oil.
  It looks absolutely garbage.
  That's not a good start.
  I feel very confident about this.
  - Dude, it's only a couple hundred miles.
  We'll be fine.  - That's the best part.
  We build this thing to go and  do wheelies in a parking lot,
  let's drive it across California.
  - Well, the best part  about the Bob-build is
  there's some serious engineering in here
  and a lot of care and  time in certain things
  and then right at the end it was,
  "Whoa, we're out of time, no seat belts.
  "Let's go do wheelies."  (Tony laughing)
  (country guitar music)
  - So we've got fresh oil and  spark plugs in this thing.
  I replaced a bunch of wrecked vacuum caps,
  Finn put a battery in  just because we figured
  let's fire it up and make  sure this thing still runs
  before we try to drive  it across the country.
  Right?  - Yes.
  - Do it.  - Okay.
  Is there gas in it?  - Is there gas in it?
  (truck engine revving)  It's doing stuff.
  (truck engine revving)
  - It's not trying to fire at all.
  - Yeah, I haven't heard  a burble or anything.
  (truck engine revving)  Nope.
  You're not grounded on your ignition wire.
  - [Finn] Ah, sweet.
  (truck engine revving)  - That's better.
  - That was much better.
  (truck engine puttering)
  - Yeah!
  Seems like they're all working.
  - Yeah, you think I should
  keep going?  - Whoo!
  (Finn laughs)
  - Wow, that thing is loud.
  How come we always get  all the really loud cars?
  - It definitely doesn't need mufflers.
  I mean, 'cause the faster you go,
  the further behind you it'll be.
  - The sound?  - Yes.
  - It'll just fall behind us.  - Right.
  - We'll outrun it.
  We'll outrun the sound, that makes sense.
  (upbeat rock music)
  Alright, so now the next  big thing to deal with is--
  - Safety?  - Well, yeah.
  Safety and this front suspension.
  I just want to see what it does up here.
  We're going to lower it down.
  That should get us where we have to go
  and we'll see if it's flat.
  (loud creak)
  Like nothing but hopes and  dreams held that together.
  (laughs) It's crazy.  - It's level again.
  - Does it look better?  - Oh, yeah.
  - That was my one big concern is
  that the whole frame was bent.
  - [Finn] I bet we could go down
  two dragstrips with this now.
  - [Tony] Oh yeah, now it's good.
  (electric guitar music)
  Two eight-feet pipes.
  - Would you say a 60-degree bend?
  - With a 60-degree bend in 18 inches.
  - The bend is 18 inches from the end?
  - I think so, I think that works good.
  - Bob's already proven to have the ability
  to stand straight up on the trailer hitch.
  And the trailer hitch is the only thing
  that keeps this truck from  falling over backwards.
  And I really don't trust  it to do that every time
  you get a lead foot behind  the wheel and do a wheelie.
  So, we're going to build  not a full roll cage
  but just a roll bar.
  We're talking fall-guy-truck style.
  And it'll be a simple main hoop
  that goes up just above the cab,
  a down bar and it'll  have an X in the middle
  so that if the truck goes over backwards
  we should be relatively safe.
  In general, this is all that's  going to save Tony and I
  from a lifetime of pain and suffering.
  These are called widow-maker wheels.
  These are split rims that actually
  clamp together and bolt together
  in the middle of the rim.
  And they routinely blow  apart and kill people,
  so I want them off and I  want them away from me,
  as quick as possible.
  (loud drilling)
  (loud clanking)
  - Alright.
  It's coming.
  There it is.
  - Right about now, you're wondering
  why did we take this out and  what is that doing there?
  Well, it's simple.
  This is rusty.
  - And it's got a super wonky bolt pattern,
  giant drum brakes that don't do anything.
  The bolt pattern means we'd have to run
  those murder wheels,  which we don't want to do.
  - Yep.  - And it's got a bunch
  of broken string packs.
  - Yeah, yeah, this is junk.
  It really is junk.
  And that is after-market  parts that are much lighter
  and designed for a vehicle  that is much lighter,
  but because our engine is in the back
  we think this will work  and actually ride better,
  steer better, and stop better.
  After yanking the entire  front end off the truck,
  we found out each wheel weighed a 130
  and the complete suspension  weighed 400 pounds.
  - [Tony] The idea is that you'll put
  wheels and tires on the  axle, roll it underneath,
  lower the front end  down, and under weight,
  tack everything together  once you've measured it
  and it's all perfect.
  So, that's what we're going to do.
  - Hey, it's supporting it.
  - That's not so bad.  - It's supporting it.
  Dude, that's awesome.
  (country rock music)
  - How do I open the hood on this thing?
  Oh, that's cool!
  - [Finn] In terms of safety,
  Bob has always been a disaster.
  We needed to install seat belts,
  which meant we had to build a harness bar.
  We needed headlights, which means
  we had to re-wire the truck.  - Boom!
  - [Finn] Even the seats were modified.
  They've always been  flopping about the cab,
  so tony welded them directly  to the floor of the truck.
  We spent hours all in the  name of keeping us alive.
  - [Tony] A race car now.
  - This feels so much safer right here.
  - Yeah, that's pretty good, huh?
  - Yeah.
  (groovy music)  (power tools whirring)
  Steering adaptor, done!
  Here's where we're at.
  New axle is in the truck and right now
  I'm connecting the old steering,
  which moved forward and  backwards to turn the wheel,
  to our new knuckle,  which moves left to right
  to turn the wheel.
  And I'm converting it using a rod end,
  some misalignment spacers,
  and a little bit of ingenuity here.
  This should work.
  It steers.  - Sure does.
  - [Finn] Alright, so this is party mode.
  - This is party mode.
  Party mode is here,
  I'm going to do a--  - Where's get serious mode?
  - And then get serious mode
  I'm thinking is going to be here.
  What do you think?  - Yeah, that'll do it.
  (country rock music)
  Yeah.  - What do you think of that?
  - Not bad.  - Not bad?
  Good job.
  How's it ride?
  Look at that.  - That's not bad, really.
  - We're going to be so comfortable.
  - I mean, when you combine that
  with the fact that there is  no suspension in the back,
  there's a happy medium
  between pain and suffering and paradise.
  - Oh, man.
  (Finn laughs)  Honestly,
  I'm terrified of this truck,
  absolutely.  - I'm
  really excited about the wheelies,
  just not the road trip.  - Not the driving, nope.
  Alright, buddy.  - Godspeed.
  - Yeah, we got this.  (Finn laughing)
  (truck engine revving)
  - It turns!
  Let's go on an adventure.
  (truck engine putters)  (car alarm blares)
  - (laughing) Car alarm!
  Let's see, does it stop?
  We have brakes.  - Pretty good.
  (truck engine revving)  (indistinct talking)
  - Dude, the front end is so much better!
  Oh wow, I think it picked  the front wheels up.
  - Jesus Christ!
  - Alright, I'm going to get out of the car
  and see what happens.
  Yeah, it pulls left.
  Oh, oh there's all the cops.
  I'll try to be casual.  - Oh shit.
  (truck engine revving)
  Alright, that dude just gave me the horns.
  - Was it a cop?  - The cop was like,
  "Hell yeah!"  (Finn laughing)
  Whoo!
  - [Finn] It is so loud even with these on.
  - Yeah, it's got a real mid-range throb.
  - Imagine how loud it is  for the person next to us.
  - [Tony] Oh, I figure  they're just mad at us.
  - [Finn] Yeah, they're  trying to hear their music
  right now and they're just  like, "What the hell?"
  (truck engine revving)
  (upbeat rock music)
  - Yeah, the heat coming  in this track is unreal.
  - The steering wheel is so  hot I can barely hold it.
  Wait a minute, we can  go in the carpool lane.
  - Oh yeah, of course.
  (truck engine revving)
  (truck engine revving)
  - Whoa, whoa, whoa.
  (Finn coughing)  - Sorry.
  (Tony coughing)  - We're cruising along
  and all of a sudden
  I felt huge spray on my back  and the battery exploded.
  And then we couldn't breath (coughs).
  Pulled over and jumped out.
  - Alright, I'll push.
  Then we'll get going and we'll just go
  all the way to the bottom.
  (upbeat groove music)
  - [Tony] Do I stick it over here
  or what do you think?  - Yeah, actually,
  just pull over by the wall.
  That's probably our best  place to work on it.
  Now we got all kinds of room between us
  and cars that want to run us over.
  We were greedy.
  We protected our junk and our toes
  up here with a trans tunnel but
  we didn't actually put a tunnel
  where the battery and the  trans are next to each other.
  So,
  poor battery.
  Our battery didn't quite explode
  but it did puke its guts out.
  So we're going to take baking soda,
  neutralize the battery acid.
  We bought another battery,
  we're going to put it up front.
  We're going to hook six-foot-long  cables into the truck,
  bolt them to our old ones,
  wrap them in electrical  tape, and keep on truckin'.
  - [Tony] Alright, battery  tunnels are tight.
  I put a touch and toe-in  into the front end.
  - Nice work.
  Look at you turning lemons into lemonade!
  - Just figured I had a couple minutes.
  - Battery blows up,  (Tony chuckling)
  stuck on the side of the road--
  - Alignment.  - Let's give it an alignment
  while we're here.
  I like it.
  - Shall we?
  Yeah, how do you plan on applying this?
  - Liberally.
  - Just ghost the whole thing?  - (chuckles) Yes!
  - That's probably good.
  I don't know what's worse.
  - We're going to get pulled over.  - Sulfuric acid.
  - I wonder if they'll think
  our cocaine load--  - They're going to go,
  "Oh my God!"
  - (laughing) They're smuggling.
  (country guitar music)
  (truck engine revving)
  - Oh!
  - There it is.
  - [Finn] Oh, it isn't so bad.
  - [Tony] Yes, we only  have 175 miles to go.
  - Is it really only 175?
  - That's what it says.  - Oh, we're fine.
  She runs like the wind.
  Your turn.
  (truck engine revving)
  That was gnarly.
  Felt like the V-drive broke  but the motor shut off.
  - It might have locked.
  (various traffic sounds)
  Did it pop out of gear or the axle?
  - It's possible.
  But why did the motor shut off?
  - Hold on, let me check the fuel pump,
  make sure it's running.
  It's runnin'!
  - Let's pop the cap off and  make sure the rotor still spins.
  (truck engine cranking)
  - Nope, nothing.  - It doesn't spin?
  - It doesn't spin.  - Oh. (laughs)
  We lost a timing chain or  a gear on the distributor.
  - Here, crank it again.
  (truck engine cranking)
  - Nothing.  - It's definitely
  not spinning?  - I'm gettin' no pump.
  - Timing chain's gone.  (Tony sighs)
  Easiest thing to check is pull  the distributor right now.
  - It's not bad.
  - Alright, timing chain's busted.
  - Yeah.
  It wouldn't be a Roadkill
  road trip without a ridiculous breakdown
  and this one really hurt.
  We were flat out stranded.
  We were still 90 miles away from the event
  and there was no way to fix the truck
  on the side of the road.
  We had to put it on a tow  truck and haul it to our hotel
  and wait for daylight to  really assess the damage.
  (funky music)  (indistinct talking)
  (loud clanking)
  - Oh, it sheared all three bolts off.
  This is new levels of  destruction for Roadkill.
  - So we're into the timing chain now.
  Finn theorizes the bolts  weren't properly tightened
  and they broke off but we're  still missing a dowel pin.
  So, basically the crankshaft
  wasn't connected to the camshaft,
  which we already had figured out.
  We're going to go ahead, get  everything bolted back up,
  put on a new chain and  gears and see what happens.
  (rock guitar music)
  Yes.
  Boom!
  No drilling, no easy outs.
  - I have to turn this bolt  into a dowel for a camshaft
  and there's no electricity  in the parking lot
  so I'm in our producer's little bathroom.
  Mission accomplished.
  We got a dowel now.
  It's going to work.
  (truck engine revving)  - Oh yeah.
  It's spinning.
  - I like it.  - Why not?
  - [Finn] It didn't move.
  - Ow.
  - [Finn] There we go.
  Another quarter inch, maybe?
  My hands.
  Really close now!
  (upbeat jazz music)  (indistinct chattering)
  (truck engine revving)
  - (laughing) Let's go drive.
  (truck engine revving)  (guys laughing)
  So we're cruisin' along,
  headed to Eagle Field Drags  where there's a party happenin'.
  - Yeah, we love parties.
  - We were very excited about that.
  - Yeah.  - And all of a sudden
  my feet got wet and I look down
  at the gauge and it was at 250
  and I thought, "Ah, hell, here we go."
  - That's too much, yeah.  - That's too much.
  And we pretty much have figured out
  we have an air pocket  in the cooling system
  and our solution is going to be to
  do something we shouldn't do
  and that's to back our car into the ditch.
  - So that we can get the fill high enough,
  completely above the whole engine
  'cause the motor sits  pretty high in the back
  and with where the radiator is,
  we're not able to get rid of that bubble.
  So, we're going to (tongue click).
  - Yeah, and then when we're all done
  we're going to try and bonzai our way
  back onto the shoulder without
  swerving into oncoming traffic.
  - It's a great idea.  - Do not try this at home.
  - I love it, alright.
  - You're good.
  (truck engine revving)
  (guys laughing)
  Hey, those front brakes work great!
  This feels familiar.
  (truck engine revving)
  - Good?  - I think so.
  (truck engine revving)
  (rock music)
  We're here!
  This is Eagle Field,  this place is awesome!
  And I believe Bob has  only sat here overnight,
  so it shouldn't  spontaneously have combusted.
  It should be ready to run.
  - We're going to fire it up.
  You're going to do the first wheelie run
  down the track in conservative party mode.
  - And then we'll go  raging-alcoholic party mode.
  There's a guy here who's 80
  and he's done wheelstands forever
  and he's still doing it at 80!
  - Yeah.  - So, we can't suck.
  We need to be good at this.
  We need to un-Roadkill
  this program right now.  - Alright, let's go, let's go.
  (triumphant music)
  - [Tony] I think you got to go for it.
  - Alright!  - It's going to go.
  It's going to hang it up pretty good.
  - [Finn] Okay.
  - Just try to steer it straight.
  You got a plan in your head?  - Put the wheels in the air.
  Everyone's got a plan 'til  they get punched in the face!
  - Exactly.
  Alright, ready?  (Finn laughing)
  - Yes.  - Alright, buddy.
  High five.
  Good luck.  - Yeah.
  - You got it.  - Hug my wife.
  - [Tony] Fire this thing up.
  (truck engine revving)
  (dramatic orchestral music)
  - Whoo!
  - [Finn] Alright, baby!
  Let's see what you can do!
  (truck engine putters)
  Oh no (laughs)!
  Kiss that U-joint goodbye!
  - No!
  (dramatic music)  (green truck engine revving)
  - [Tony] What happened?
  - [Finn] I think the V-drive's junk.
  Yeah, it's the V-drive.
  You can feel it.
  - It's that small input shaft.
  (funky groove music)
  - Well, haven't exactly gotten
  to test all our new mods out
  because on the very first  pass, I grenaded the V-drive.
  And it wasn't the gears that came apart.
  It was the little, tiny,  itty-bitty input shafts
  that just twisted, broke the keyways,
  and beat the hell out of the driveshaft.
  And we pulled the V-drive out of the car.
  It's junk.
  - [Tony] Alright, alright.
  - [Finn] Yeah, that's not comin' apart.
  - So after an hour of messin' around
  looking for other V-drives,
  we can't find anything that's brand new.
  So, I'm saying we should  take this thing over
  to where there's a local  hangar with a torch.
  Torch this bottom shaft.
  Try to straighten out the best we can.
  And then we're going to  weld the drive flange
  back onto this input shaft
  and hopefully we can at least get
  some wheelies out of this truck  before the end of the day.
  (groovy jazz music)
  So, we're starting with the output shaft,
  which is severely bent,  and we're just trying
  to torch it until it's red hot.
  We're going to bend it back into position
  and then we will try to  weld back the input shaft,
  which is totally sheared  off to this drive flange.
  Neither one sounds easy.
  - Starting to glow now.  - Alright.
  - [Finn] Yeah, hit it.
  (loud clanking)
  - Ah, it is so much better.  - It's crazy red.
  And now's the time to weld  it 'cause that thing's hot.
  So let's take it right now.  - Alright.
  - That might be the first time
  we ever blacksmithed on Roadkill.
  It went pretty good.
  Tony got that thing  almost perfectly straight.
  So, we're going to tig weld  the coupler to the shaft
  and then pray to God that all this
  heat-treating didn't
  basically make that thing so soft
  that the first time you hit the gas pedal
  it twists and breaks in  half like the top one did.
  (blues music)
  - I wouldn't try this at home.  - It's working, though.
  Okay.
  Rotate it some more.
  It's actually penetrating,  too, which is blowing my mind.
  - This thing's spinning pretty good.
  - Thank god for preheat.
  The input shaft is now our issue.
  Part of the shaft is inside of the pulley,
  so we're trying to press this thing out.
  - Is it goin'?  - Yeah, I think it's goin'.
  Yeah, keep going.
  - That's hot.  - Yeah!
  - Watch out, that'll go
  to the center of the Earth.
  So, here's our V-drive.
  Input shaft up here, broke that clean off.
  Output shaft, twisted it and bent it.
  We torched this.
  Tony hammered it straight,
  then we tig welded the  coupler right to it.
  We couldn't do that here,
  there wasn't enough room or shaft
  to tig weld that back on.
  So, our new friend here  turned it down on a lathe,
  we hammered it back on and now
  he's going to stick weld  this thing back together.
  - Yep.  - In an airplane hangar
  on a Sunday.
  Setting records here on Roadkill!
  - It's going to be awesome.  - Yeah.
  - Just give me one  wheelie, just one good one.
  (upbeat country music)
  - [Finn] Little higher.
  Yeah.
  - Oh yeah, we got plenty of engagement.
  - Alright, well, we  just fixed the V-drive.
  We've never had a real successful test
  of Stubby Robert and yet, despite that,
  we're going right to party mode
  because the sun's going down,
  the track's going to close  soon, and we only get one shot.
  - Yeah, and we like to party.
  - (laughs) We like to party.
  - Alright.
  Sleep a little easier.  - Yes.
  - That's all.  - Less cowbell.
  Got it.  - That's all.
  - [Finn] Phew.
  Alright, so, lean soft,
  do a good wheelie,
  but the wheelie bars are  about two feet off the ground.
  So, yeah!
  So, I don't exactly know what to do!
  So, I'm just going to send it! (laughs)
  (truck engine revving)  (indistinct talking)
  Alright, here we go.
  I'm not going to foot it on the converter
  'cause I don't want to break the V-drive.
  Just going to get it rolling  and I'm going to punch it.
  - Here we go.
  (truck engine puttering)
  No!
  Come on!
  - [Finn] You've got to
  be kidding me, man!  (Tony screaming)
  All that work.
  All that work.
  (Finn groaning)
  - The weld broke.  - Let's go.
  - The input.  - Buddy!
  - [Finn] I didn't spool it at all!
  - I know.
  We worked so hard.
  - [Finn] Talk about a kick in the nuts.
  We had the opportunity to make Bob wheelie
  in front of a thousand people
  at the Eagle Field Drags and  we ended up sucking wind.
  The event was over.
  We left.
  Two weeks later, we  bought a brand new V-drive
  and we went back to the scene of the crime
  trying to redeem ourselves in front of
  a large crowd of zero.
  So here's what happened, right?
  Our dump truck rear end has about,
  oh, that much slop in it.
  The driveshaft's got to spin that far
  before it actually engages  that and turns these,
  which is what hammers the  V-drive and breaks it.
  - So you think all that  shock, boom, twisted them up?
  - Junk.  - 'Cause they were destroyed.
  - So, our solution is not to  fix the problem, the rear end.
  It's to replace the  V-drive with a much newer,
  much more expensive unit  built for a Baja trophy truck.
  This actually has splined  input and output shafts
  that are a larger diameter  and according to Slim,
  the guy who we bought the  original V-drive from,
  that will make up for this crap.
  So, that should work and we should be able
  to do wheelies now.  - Let's do it.
  - Hopefully more than once.
  - More wheelies is better wheelies!
  (truck engine revving)  (heavy rock music)
  You didn't think we'd  leave you with no wheelies
  in the whole episode, right?  - Never!
  We didn't work this hard to quit.
  Alright, pumping the brakes.  - Whoo!
  (truck engine revving)
  (loud explosion)
  Oh my God.
  - [Finn] There's no way.
  I think the rear end came out of gear.
  - Alright, get out.
  - [Finn] Dude, you're not  going to believe this.
  It broke the U-joint.
  The V-drive is fine, we need a U-joint.
  The U-joint broke because  it was hollow inside.
  But hours later we found a solid one
  and we're back in business.
  (truck engine revving)
  - Oh no.  - What the?
  - [Finn] Shit.
  - [Man] Your driveshaft twisted in half.
  - [Finn] Oh, dude!
  - Alright, it's take  two here at Eagle Field
  and this is like a bad dream.
  We have now destroyed the drive line
  in Stubby Bob for the second time.
  We all flew back out  with an upgraded V-drive
  and we thought we were ready to kill it.
  And then it exploded on the first run
  because there's now slightly  smaller U-joints in there.
  And then we got new ones,  put it all back together,
  and Finnegan ripped on it
  and it tore the driveshaft in half.
  So, this thing has done zero wheelies
  since we started workin' on it
  and has boned us complete  failure three times.
  - So, we're hanging out at Eagle Field
  having an average day and  driveshaft twisted in half.
  - All by itself.  - Serious carnage.
  Spontaneous, I don't even  know how this happened.
  And we're sitting there going,
  "Oh my God, now we need a driveshaft,"
  except it's Saturday,
  all the drive line companies are closed.
  - And we're in the middle of nowhere.
  - Yeah, nowhere, nowhere.
  - 30 miles in every direction.
  - We make a new friend, Wes,
  who just happens to  have, believe it or not,
  a Stubby Bob of his own.
  A 1950 Ford F6 two-ton dump truck
  sitting in his backyard  with the driveshaft.
  So we're going to cut this up,
  we're going to weld our  yoke onto his piece.
  And tomorrow--  - We will do wheelies.
  - We will do wheelies!
  Or somethin'.
  (rock music)
  (dramatic orchestral music)
  (truck engine revving)
  - You didn't really  think after all that work
  that we wouldn't be wheelie-ing  this thing, would you?
  - Whoo!
  (truck engine revving)
  (guys laughing and cheering)
  - I want to go further!
  - You can't see anything!  - No (laughs)!
  (truck engine revving)
  - (laughs) It's still working!
  - Oh my God!  - It's still working!
  (cheering)
  - Alright!  - Hell yeah!
  - We're going to do that  again but I'm not lifting.
  - It's real high!  - Oh, dude!
  - Oh, yeah!  - It's up there!
  - Whoo!
  Oh boy!
  - [Finn] Okay, you ready?
  (truck engine revving)
  (triumphant orchestral music)
  (cheering and laughing)
  (truck engine revving)
  (truck engine revving)
  (laughing)
  I need to see it!  - Oh my God!
  - Yeah!  - Whoo!
  - It's not broken, either!  - Whoo, whoo!
  That was amazing!  (Finn laughing)
  - Yes!  - Yes!
  - [Tony] Look how far away we are!
  - Dude!  - Oh my God!
  - How far it it go?
  It was really far!
  It stood up like this  and it just got going!
  (laughs)  (Tony cheers)
  Oh my God, that was amazing!
  - Hell, yeah!  - It's still good,
  You could drive it.
  - I'm in!
  - Here's the key to more distance.
  We are tapped out in a second.
  - Yeah.  - So once it's up there--
  - Knock it off a gear?  - Go for third.
  - Oh, yeah, that sounds good!
  (Finn laughs)
  (upbeat rock music)
  (truck engine revving)
  (loud clanking)
  - Oh my God!
  I don't want to say it  but apparently once again,
  Tony breaks everything.
  Jesus! (chuckles)
  What did you do!
  - [Tony] I don't think it  liked the two-three shift!
  (Finn laughs)
  We did some kick-ass wheelies!  - Dude, we did!
  - Oh, my God!  - We did!
  - [Tony] What a good day!
  - Well, admittedly when we  built Bob the first time,
  we didn't think it would work.
  So the engine wasn't  designed to be vertical.
  - Yeah.  - Which is why it tried
  to fall out and the driveshaft fell out.
  Not 'cause you broke it.  - That's true.
  - Yeah.
  So we'll be back with Bob again later,
  doing even better and more epic wheelies.
  - Yeah, this thing is the best.
  It's the best!
  Wheelies are my new favorite thing.
  - Oh, dude, forget drifting.
  - Yeah.
  Just wheelies.  - Dump truck wheelies.
  - I'm going to turn all  my cars into wheelie cars.
  - There you go.
  Hey.
  Those wheels are kind of cambered!
  - [Tony] You ready to  hit the drift circuit?
  - It's not a drift truck!
  (boys laugh)
  - [Tony] This is the biggest  win Roadkill has ever had.
  We busted our asses,
  built something amazing,  destroyed it in the process
  and achieved glory that most humans
  never get to witness in their lifetime.
  I can't wait to bring Stubby Bob back
  and make it even better.
  (truck engine revving faintly)
  - [Freiburger] Support  companies that support Roadkill.
  Buy your speed parts at Jegs.com.
  - I learned about something  today that's really important,
  it's really cool.
  It's called a plain bagel with butter.
  Apparently it's fantastic,
  I'm going to try one in a minute.
  This is what I'm talkin' about.
  So you're saying this  is just a plain bagel
  toasted with butter.  - Mm-hm.
  - Mm.
  - Can you believe it's not butter?
  - That is good!
  I can't--
  So this is just a plain bagel
  toasted with butter.
  Unbelievable.
  It's so good.
