What the, this guy.
What's up and good evening guys.
Welcome back to another video.
This is a long awaited video.
What Chris, what'd you find?
What, you just kicking stuff?
Oh, okay.
110 for sale.
You're selling your 110?
Selling my 110.
All right, how much?
15 G's.
All righty guys, so we have made it back from Utah
with the 450.
And now obviously, I mean I fell in love with this truck
while I was out in Utah.
And there's gonna be a 450 in my future
at some point in my life.
But, yeah, I've been doing some American picking.
Yeah, I was doing some furniture picking
in the alley back there.
Listen guys, fuel's expensive, rent's expensive.
You know, I gotta start flipping furniture nowadays
to be able to pay for things around here.
Gotta do what you gotta do.
So, as much as I love this 450,
we built this thing for Papa Rhino.
This point in my life, I wanted to give back to my parents.
So, we built the Tahoe for Mama Rhino a couple years ago.
And unfortunately, Papa Rhino had to sell his Kodiak
because, well, California.
We have spent the last couple of months, you know,
over here and by we, that man right there
has been busting his butt getting this thing ready.
I just flip the bills and sign the checks
and look pretty.
Debatable.
So, we got this thing back, again, from Utah.
Had an awesome trip.
You know, it took some getting used to,
having a solid axle truck with air right in the front.
There's a couple little tweaks that we have to make.
At some point, the steering wheel got
just a hair off of center.
So, we gotta figure out why that happened.
And then, I started messing with the air right controls
and I totally jacked everything up.
So, we need Zach to re-fix that.
And once we get all that dialed in,
it will be time to give this truck to Papa Rhino,
who has not seen this thing finished.
I mean, maybe he's seen a video or two.
But he has not seen this thing in person
to see how big it is.
And I'm very excited to give this to him.
I know a lot of you guys were concerned,
thinking, well, this thing's not a work truck anymore.
You just ruined it.
Papa Rhino's not gonna be able to use it.
I always have a plan.
And, we already knew going into this,
that Papa Rhino wasn't gonna wanna load stuff
in the bed of this truck.
Which, you know, I wouldn't wanna load it
even at stock height.
You don't wanna tear the truck up.
That's where this comes into play.
So, not only did we build that for him,
I also purchased this, that I'm gonna be, you know,
it's probably gonna be hooked to Papa Rhino's truck
more than it is to my truck.
But this was my plan right here,
to account for the fact that nobody's gonna wanna
put stuff in the bed up there anymore.
Plus, now we can haul a bunch more.
And this thing actually did amazing, hauling this back.
I mean, granted, it's only a 4,500 pound trailer
when it's empty, but obviously the 450,
I think, loaded will be just fine.
Zach is fueling up.
Jeez, guy, we gotta get that sugar rush going, or what?
All right, all right.
Oh, gee, and then there's this guy.
Somebody's gotta supervise.
You weren't there in Utah, and I messed the truck up.
Somebody starts work at, like, six o'clock in the morning.
Yeah, some of us don't go to bed till three a.m.
That's not my problem.
Multiple days a week.
What the, bro, are you drunk?
A little bit.
Oh.
So, Zach.
Yes.
Yeah, we gotta find out what Ryan did here.
Why the steering's a hair off.
It could be that the truck's not sitting level.
I think it's sitting pretty level, but.
I looked at it the other day.
No, it was level?
All right, see, I did a good job getting it level.
I got the steering wheel back to pretty much straight
just by playing with the air ride itself.
We checked up underneath while we were in Utah,
and shout out to the guys over at Graco Customs,
because, you know, they are mechanics.
I am not.
We looked over this together,
and basically everything looked tight.
So, we don't think anything really moved down here.
There's just a, I don't know.
We gotta figure out something.
Let's see if we can see the steering wheel.
Are the wheels straight right now?
They are straight, so.
Has the truck unlocked, though?
All right.
Actually, the truck's.
Steering wheel's looking decent right now,
but if you guys know, like,
sometimes there's a little bit of slop,
so it takes to about there to move the steering wheel.
So, really, when we were driving back from Utah,
the steering wheel was about there
when we were going straight.
So, right now, Zach is going around
and making sure everything is nice and level.
It's kind of one of those games.
You go off the airbags,
you go off some measurements on the airbags,
and then you also just gotta kind of stand back
and take a look at it.
So, one of the things we measure on the fronts
is we'll measure, like, from the bottom of that bracket
to about the top right there.
That'll make sure side to side we're equal,
but the front bags are different sizes than the rear bags.
So, you can't pull that measurement, obviously,
if you get the rear the same.
We pull separately from there,
and then you just kind of stand back
and you see if the rear looks level to the front or not.
Yeah, so, these are the ride height sensors,
and basically, you can see,
as his arm goes up and down,
it just turns this little sensor right here,
and that tells the truck where the height is.
And it's all based on us telling it what is level,
and then from there, it saves that preset.
Well, when the bracket that attaches it moves like this,
you can see there's a lot of play there in that sensor.
So, that might have been one of the issues while we were out.
It's the only thing I've seen that was loose out of anything.
All the steering seems fine,
and if the truck's not level,
the steering wheel's gonna do weird stuff.
So, that could be it.
That could be the only reason that the steering wheel
was just a hair off center on the drive home.
We're over here sizing up Zach's overpriced tape measure.
Sucks.
How much was that tape measure, Zach?
That was it?
20 bucks?
Deal.
Yeah, but you wanna carry one of these around all day?
We don't need a metal casing, this thing's heavy.
Chris, we're not strong enough for this.
Zach's got that mechanic strength.
I don't know what the heck it is,
but it's got this mechanic strength in that body somewhere.
It's like an axis, dude.
It's like really lightning, and then that's it.
You gonna give it to your dad dirty?
No, man, we're gonna clean it tomorrow.
You gonna help?
We are gonna clean it tomorrow?
Yeah, you gonna come help?
I don't have time.
I got a lot of running around to do.
We got SEMA to go to.
We gotta run SEMA errands like crazy tomorrow.
So, Zach got everything dialed in.
Oh, there's Zach.
Zach!
Zach, are you ready to build the Bronco?
You can say no.
You know.
Yeah, sure, why not?
Tomorrow, we're gonna be giving the Bronco,
not the Bronco cheese, I can't even think right now.
Tomorrow, we're gonna be giving the 450 to Papparato.
This is exciting.
We're gonna wait till Zach's off work,
so we can both hear him complain
or whatever's about to happen in this video.
It's done.
Oh, okay.
We ain't getting no more.
We're gonna get some rest.
We got a long day tomorrow, which will be,
we're filming two videos tomorrow.
So, get ready.
Goodbye.
Well, today is the big day.
I've been in Papparato's truck all day
doing a million and one SEMA freaking errands.
And, well, I always tell you guys,
work before play.
Let's try to not get hit by a car.
And we're over here with Dave, back at Maddie,
the restaurant that we built a while back.
Show you guys this thing finished.
And look at that truck.
Look how good that thing freaking looks.
I almost couldn't park there
because the trees weren't tall enough to park underneath it.
Check this place out.
This place has been open and doing great.
Absolutely crushing it.
And, well, here is what she looks like finished.
Mine is Dave's art piece,
which is gonna go right here.
He's not done with that yet.
But...
Dave?
Rhino?
Dave?
Rhino D-Max?
Dave?
No way.
It's Dave.
Three points of contact, Dave.
Make sure you're good.
Okay, you're good.
Dave?
Dave, dude, I am just one of your biggest fans.
Dave, hold on.
We're on a tight schedule, right?
I've seen all your-
He's gonna keep going.
We're on a tight schedule, Dave.
But we gotta show your handstand on camera.
I am...
Show your handstand on camera.
Big...
Big fan.
So, I just found out the other day,
Dave can handstand like...
I think Dave just found out the other day he can handstand.
That's kinda true.
Well, Dave goes,
do you need your...
Go get your pillow?
Okay.
Yeah, pillow.
All right.
So, while Dave's doing that.
So, obviously, you guys can see the restaurant
is all finished and looking freaking beautiful.
This side's a mess right now
because we just moved a bunch of stuff,
but that's what it looks like all nice and finished
over there.
Again, they've been doing freaking awesome.
But one of the complaints in this place
is it's too echoey and too loud.
So, you'll see right here,
we're currently hanging acoustical panels from the ceiling.
And hopefully, that'll stop the sound
from bouncing all kinds of around.
There's a ton of them to hang.
We really only got time today to do two
because, well, I scheduled up
giving this truck back to Papa Rhino.
So, we're going to do that.
But first, we gotta show Dave do a handstand.
And yes, Dave is working shirtless in sandals.
But don't worry, he wears his knee pads.
Now, his handstand, he also considers dancing.
Let's just throw that out there.
Okay, so he's gotta get his music right,
even though I'm gonna talk over the music.
It's just for him to hear.
I know.
Okay.
Oh, oh, oh, yep, yep, oh yeah, oh yeah, all right.
Don't mind me, I have to talk over this, guys,
or we, you know, get demonetized.
Look at this guy.
Oh, oh, with the sandal kick, with the sandal kick.
Look at this guy, look at this guy.
Dang, son, dang, son.
Oh, oh, oh, he's doing tricks, he's doing tricks.
Which way's he going now?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
If you have never been on the channel before
and you came to this video,
this is Dave, this is Dave.
All right, Dave, we got two battles up today.
All righty, let's hop up in this beast.
Let's not get our door taken off.
I'm surprised I found parking
for this thing in this neighborhood.
This is not a big truck-friendly neighborhood.
I'm excited for this, guys.
I know Paparano's excited.
I mean, he's been missing his truck, stocklifted, whatever.
He's just been missing having his truck.
I will say, the one thing this truck needs very badly
is tinted windows, because these are,
this sun is brutal right now.
I just had to go looking hard for the button
to close the panoramic roof here.
I don't think I've ever done it on this thing,
so I don't know, right there, let's see.
Push it once, it goes halfway.
Push again, it goes all the way.
Get a little bit of the sun off me.
Not that that really did much.
I gotta say, guys, I am going to miss driving this truck.
It's a whole completely different experience
from being solid axle and A-ride in the front,
and it takes a little bit of getting used to,
but this thing is just massive.
And even though there's some bumps here
because of the setup in the front,
it being a dually and being so wide in the back,
like, this truck just feels solid.
Yeah, well, I can't say Paparano is much better than me
when it comes to leaving trash in vehicles.
We'll take all my stuff out of here
from our trip to Utah.
He is worse than me
when it comes to leaving plastic on, though.
He leaves the plastic on the floor mats.
That's next level.
I know I leave it on the seats,
but the floor mats is next level.
Oh, what's up, boys, you ready?
You ready to finally be done with this thing?
Now, those of you that have seen Paparano on the channel,
you know, I don't know, he's got his moments.
I don't know how this reaction is going to be.
Guys, what do you think?
He's going to be really quiet.
He's probably going to start talking ----.
I feel like there's going to be a lot of crap talking.
Yeah.
I feel like 90% of that's going to be towards me.
And why didn't you, why'd you make Zach do that?
Or, yeah, that's something.
All right, guys, Mama Rana has been keeping us tabs.
She's driving them over here.
Hope, you ready?
Always ready.
All right.
That's a-
Want to take it to the casino?
No, no, men are always ready.
You know that.
Oh, okay.
All right, well.
Knock on wood.
I've never seen you with a hat on.
That's a good hat.
Where'd you get the hat?
Work for it.
Apparel.com.
Oh, jeez.
All right.
We tried.
Workforitapparel.com.
All right, well, let's show you the,
let's show you the first new addition to our fleet.
You have not seen a new trailer.
No, geez, he's not even, he's distracted over there.
He's a serious guy.
Oh, look, we already,
we already started water bottles on the trailer.
That's sweet.
It's sick, huh?
Yeah, it's cool.
Nice, huh?
Is it better this way?
Yeah, they say that's way stronger
with the telescoping.
You need money, bro.
Oh.
You always need money.
Don't, don't worry about it.
All right, so this is how we're alleviating,
you know, having to put stuff in the bed of the truck.
Chris put stuff in the way here,
but I think he wants to show you his bike.
Check it out, bro.
This might come with it.
Holy.
Here.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That's just too much power for you.
Oh, okay.
That means there's not enough power.
I got you this.
It's easy.
That's my force cover, man.
Easy, guy.
I'm not trying to give away the force cover.
You ready to see this thing?
It's been six months.
Easy six months.
All right.
Zach, it has not been six months.
It's been six months.
It has not been six months.
Zach shaved his beard and he grew back.
All right.
Okay.
You don't really want to come out here.
No, I mean, hopefully.
Let's see what we got going.
Holy mackerel, man.
That's sick.
Now that's a big dog.
You like it?
Is that the right size?
I know you wanted a 20 inch lift.
We dialed you down just a little bit.
I mean, you got to be able to get in it.
Well, I can get in them.
Okay.
Had all these years with the Kodiak.
All right.
Kodiak had a step that like started right there.
Are we all the way up?
We're all the way up.
That's all the way up.
Is that enough?
No.
Holy.
Let me get a hold of Zach.
Zach, that ain't high enough, Zach.
I didn't order the parts on this.
What do you think?
Tailgate height going to work for you?
Oh, yeah.
Look at that.
Now you got a workbench for your plans.
Plans table.
It's the right height.
Comes with a toolbox.
Well, we cleared all your tools out of it
and we got to put those back in tonight.
Oh, yeah.
Where is all my stuff?
Zach?
We sold it.
We had to pay for truck parts.
We had to sell your stuff.
Give it a walk around.
What do you think?
You like the wheels?
We kept it polished.
You wanted polish.
You didn't want black.
Yep.
No polish looks better, I think.
We kept trying to powder coat them
and I'm like, no.
We got to do just like the Kodiak.
Yeah, it got to be old man style there with the polish.
You got to keep them clean though.
Oh, sorry.
Old man and Zach.
Like polish.
Yeah, Zach's old.
Zach is old.
She's got a couple of bugs from Utah,
but you know, we'll worry about that later.
We'll get it clean.
Janice is detailing.
They'll get it all detailed for you.
Oh, I like it.
Oh, let's see.
Oh, there.
We'll get it.
Look, he's already getting a thumbnail.
We'll get a thumbnail in a second.
Can you get in with it all the way up?
It'll come down.
This isn't ride height.
Ride height's a couple of inches lower.
Oh, all right.
There we go.
Oh, hey.
Let's go, guys.
I mean, you can drive.
It's yours.
You can drive.
You sure?
Nobody going with you, but you can drive.
It's like being up that high again.
It's been a while.
Yeah.
That's taller than the Kodiak.
You think so?
You're sitting taller than the Kodiak.
Definitely sitting taller than the Kodiak.
The Kodiak, I was even with semis.
Yeah, you're there.
Breaking ankle or something.
Pop a knee.
Yeah, that's a long step right there.
Get down.
That's almost three feet.
Hey, remember when I was talking about the hip thing?
You didn't see that, did you?
All right, let's see.
I mean, hop on down.
He's trying to figure out how to do it.
There you go.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Dang, don't count that.
All right.
Well, here, let's lower you back down here.
Let's get you to ride height,
and we'll let you take this thing for a spin.
Oh, shoot.
I need the key.
Well, jump in.
Let's go take it for a spin, you know?
Come on in, boys.
We gotta make a little room back here.
We gotta, hold on.
We should probably pull out some shocks first.
Eh, sit on top of him.
Stay in there.
What?
No, this is yours.
I gotta just pull my shocks out.
We can't show those on the channel.
Shocks.
We've got shocks, pegs.
Look, I got you some Pepto-Bismol,
you know, in case your tummy gets.
Oh, I forgot about that.
Look at that.
Oh, man.
Listen, we haven't really cleaned it out since Utah.
Somebody decided to build a SEMA build last second.
I got some battery charger.
I mean, you haven't driven this thing in forever.
You remember how to drive this thing?
It's probably good you forgot,
because it's a whole lot different.
Oh yeah, you gotta raise your seat up to the ceiling,
because you like to hit your head on the ceiling.
You like to lick the windshield.
Sure, you can see out of your mirrors.
You always want to see those back tires,
because we don't want to curb these wheels.
You're trying to lay them back like tiny
and suck in the exhaust.
I was going to say, we probably should just stop.
Stop wherever that's going.
We gotta keep it YouTube friendly,
but all right, that works.
All right, can you see your rear tires
that are out your mirrors?
Yeah.
All right, just make sure we don't clip curbs.
That's all I care about.
Those wheels are expensive.
Let's not clip curbs.
Can we turn tighter?
Oh yeah, she doesn't rub.
You guys did a good job.
Hey, where are we going?
100 miles an hour?
Hold on.
This is just like...
Jeez.
Yeah.
We're all gonna get our seats.
Well, that was your test.
Yeah, well, we passed that test.
We're getting our seatbelts on.
All right, so it's going to have some bump steer.
You're going to feel bumps in the road and the steering.
It's just kind of the nature of a solid axle AI truck.
Shouldn't notice really any power difference.
She still feels good.
I don't even know what gears this is,
but it's got a real low...
I want to say this truck probably had 4.6.
Comes with a California compliance thing.
I think you need this.
Hey, you're the sickest one here, dog.
I know I am.
Baddest son of a gun.
Big dog.
Oh, he's back.
Big dog's back now.
All right, we're back up in a big truck.
I had to be little dog there for a while.
You know, if you want to be a big dog,
you got to piss like a big dog.
There you go.
Jeez, guy.
She still got it.
All right, all right.
What did it do with the trailer?
He didn't even feel it.
Couldn't even feel it.
We also got to talk.
You got us in trouble.
Apparently, you were driving the Tahoe.
It says work for it on the side,
and you were pissing some people off
because I got a bad Google review
that said whoever drives a Tahoe
with the work for it on the side
needs to learn how to talk to people.
I didn't talk to nobody.
Apparently, you're pissing somebody off on the road.
You're the only one that's been driving it.
Ryan was like, what?
I'm like, dude, your dad is pissing.
He's like, oh, that's right.
Dad has been driving the Tahoe.
Because they were saying something about
the guy in the work for it SUV.
That's why we don't put our name outside of vehicles.
Oh, we got to get one on here.
OK, I want a custom made sticker, big dog.
All right, watch these cars.
Watch these cars.
It's getting narrow up here.
Dang, the sun's still out.
What the?
Are you mad at the drivers already?
We going to start yelling at people already?
Easy, tiny, you're a hater.
Oh, watch out, watch out.
Don't hit grandpa.
Wide truck, wide truck.
Wide load, wide load.
They're all looking.
This thing does that.
It gets a lot.
It gets more attention than my Denali does going down the road.
It is big.
Well, we got to watch the trees.
Watch the trees.
We're tall.
Sergio, we got to go Sergio.
We got to go Sergio.
We got to get some work lights put on it.
We need to get it tinted.
It sucks being in here with no tint.
He's definitely going to want a brighter reverse light.
Oh, we need that too, Zach?
Let's just deck it out.
It's really wide, and you can't really see the tires.
You get to go back to work, honey.
Zach's going to teach you how to use the air ride there.
Dang, dog, you barely got out of this thing.
Say you want to go down.
Push it.
Zach, holy ----.
Now my ass is rubbing the curb, Zach.
If you wanted to load it, you could just like.
That's like all the way air it out.
You can get out and check where the tailgate is now
on your truck if you ever need to put something in.
Right there, I'll go to ride on.
No, no, I mean before.
Yeah, remember, we're all the way up.
We're about to here.
All the way down, so you're not the manageable height.
There's ride height.
That's his ride height.
All right, Zach, lower the rear.
This is what you're going to be doing
if you're going to be loading tools and materials and stuff.
You know, you squatter.
Oh, no, that's ready for the drag at Fox.
Oh, you're going to do some drag racing like that?
Yeah, just like that, right there.
Okay, okay.
I got all that trucking in it better than you.
------- wounded goat.
You're younger than me.
Holy.
All right, we just did some testing.
We got the steering wheel back to all nice and dialed.
Great job, Zachariah.
Now we got to load up all these tools.
Oh, geez, compressor's kicking on.
We got to load up all of Pomerano's tools here.
Now, everybody said you're not going to be able
to use this for a work truck anymore.
What do you think?
Oh, no, no, no.
They got a lot to learn.
Just watch.
I got plans.
I have plans, not excuses.
There you go.
There.
All right.
Plans, not excuses.
Okay, y'all.
Well, it is getting a little too dark outside there, too.
I'll continue filming on the GoPro,
so we're going to wrap up this video.
I am very, very blessed to be in a position
to be able to give back to my parents.
A couple years ago, we built a Tahoe for my mom,
and then this year being able to do the F450 for my dad,
and I got to thank you guys for it.
You guys, you know, giving me this platform
really helps to do things like this,
and I'm super, super stoked
to be able to give back this year.
We've always been building stuff for myself,
so it's a lot more fun when you build stuff
for other people.
Speaking of other people, got to give a huge shout out
to some of the companies that jumped on board.
A huge thank you to American Force Wheels.
A huge thank you to the guys over at Custom Offsets.
Huge thank you to the guys over at Kelderman,
Supreme Retros, obviously Zach for putting in
all the late nights and getting this thing done.
This thing was a mission and a half.
I'm glad to see it out of the shop,
so we got some room here, but also sad to see it go,
because I'm going to very much miss that truck.
But with that, guys, we are going to wrap up.
As always, thank you so much for watching.
