There was a lot that was ridiculous about the challenge. The one handed shock swap was completely ridiculous but like many of the other “challenges” it was made easier or harder based on the competitors choices. Rudy’s choice to go with a full sized truck certainly made things more difficult on the tight trails. Overall I think the challenge was a fail on OnX.

@om617yota8

Usually folks choose + build their rig based on the kind of trails they go on. Maybe the OnX folks should have told the competitors what trail they'd be going on, so the rigs could be built to spec. Although there's something to be said for a small vehicle fitting through a large passage, but a big vehicle vehicle not fitting through a narrow passage.

The whole series was really disappointing. The filming was horrible as well as the dialog. They made something that should have been fun, very 'meh.' It was kind of silly. Why not make the Challenge like what they would experience where they were going? Certainly didn't make me want to run out and buy OnX...not a bit. The absolute best videography was certainly Nate at Dirt Lifestyle. He's got an eye. He should give a master's class. Having owned a Ramcharger as a kid, I had high hopes, but the platform has some limitations. But Rudy did great work on it within the constraints of the "Challenge." What would be really cool would be a crossover with Fab Rats to see how much of a crawler they can make it. You can't "boat tail" the rear without removing the windows. But maybe make it like a pre-79 and just remove the whole roof. Then boat tail the nose and rear, lower it's stance, put in the Dodge 360 or maybe a newer Hemi and let 'er rip. that's my 2¢.

I think that the RadCharger is a prime example of the Wetzel engineering process. I have been watching Matt do this for years. First you build something really cool, but you get rushed for reasons that are unforseen, you take it to the field, and something breaks. Then you fix it back better than before, and the process begins again. Rudy, you're a chip of the old block, but with a sharper edge.

The part you forgot is once it breaks, they half ass fix it, then it breaks again several more times.

“Passed the fast food test - what’s more American than that!” Brilliant 😂

I live in the northeast rust belt and have been frustrated by the lack of corrosion protection on the builds by the other KZread channels. It made me very happy to see that shiny painted back axle. Keep building for the long term.

❤Team RAD ... getting close to 1/4 million subs! 👍😎✊

when you said that you deserved the hard work because you did it wrong the first time... thats some hard self reflection that shows what a good person you are. i cant see how but if i ever need a trail rig ill be asking you to build it.

Maybe ask Mr. Irish for some help setting up some good ladder bars to keep down your axle wrap issues, never hurts to ask someone whos got it down. Cheers 🍻

Really glad to see this channel working out for Rudy. Next stop 300K subscribers!

Winter is coming, time to finish the tracks for the rudicon

Nothing better than doing business with an honest man!

Rudy, I'm sure you know but if there is that much fuel in the cylinders, best change the oil because there is that much fuel in the oil as well.

For as wounded as the RADCharger looked limping off the trail, she really retained strong bones. Now that you finished welding on the rear axle she looks to be ready for a rinse and repeat. Yours was a real competitor and won the best looking rig hands down. I'm looking forward to more happy wheeling.

glad to see you back. would like to see what you work on daily, mite be interesting to all

I had the fuel pressure regulator go out on my Ford Bronco 2. So when the injectors opened it was spraying a firehose stream of fuel in instead of a garden hose. Hydraulic locked cylinders. When we took plugs out to unlock gas sprayed everywhere. There was a spark. Fire. Running and jumping. To busy to even cuss properly. Fire extinguisher made a mess. No big damage. Oil pressure line was plastic and burned like a fuse. Electronics were fine. Just had too much pressure in fuel rail. New regulator fixed that. Ah the memories. LOL

Getting it back in shape . Thanks for sharing !

Sweet Radcharger takes a beatin and keeps on ticking ❤ Rudy your channel RoCkS ✌️💪🏻❤️

Ridicon and the RAD charger are both quite impressive. I’m truly still enjoying the paint scheme as well.

I'm so glad you are getting the Radcharger back in action .It' a great vehicle.Those tracks were too narrow ,no fun .It's too good to damage to that extent..

You should take the Radcharger to the Full size invasion next year!

FiTec is trash! I had one on my 85 Dodge W150 for 3 years and had nothing but trouble with it. Finally got rid of it and bought the Edelbrock Pro-Flo 4 and have been using it for 2 years with no problems. It cost more but it has never left me stranded on the trail.

I can totally appreciate you not "repricing" or revaluing someone else's goods.👍🏼 Maybe it's just me but... It's something you want,(in this case, need) and a fair price. So why potentially "insult" by naming your value on the item you desire?

@boardnski156

Fair price means realistic seller. Reward their fairness with a quick sale.

Those high spring perches are putting a lot of extra torque on the springs. Need to get regular saddles for the springs that are low to the axle and re-arch the springs or change whatever you need to eliminate those perches. You'll have a lot less bending of the springs.

Poor RadCharger got beat. But that’s the fun of building a rig. Glad it’s back on the road ready to have fun again.

I think Rudy should have made a 4 link setup for the rear for better articulation. I love the Radcharger and watching this channel it's interesting. I wonder what he's going to do next.

Rudy..... That RADCharger is awesome!!! Such an awesome project.

I think it is all for the best I don't know that a budget build would do well on the UA. That said, rad charger is going to be a great build when it is finished and you aren't limited by budget

Better change the oil if you had fuel in the motor cause you have fuel in the oil.

Good work. Looking forward to seeing the Comanche sometime.

I always struggle watching you weld around chrome stanchions. 😅 I’m sure Robbie would pull those quarter panels mostly back for you in a half hour. Get your shut lines sorted anyway.

The Rad Charger is so cool I'm glad to see it being fixed up!! I'm glad you're doing the body work, those challenges were ridiculous. The Rad is for offroad but it's to awesome to look abused. It's a very worthy steed and a great investment. Colt did do a great job, no questions asked!

Hey Rudy: I amazed by the mechanical complexity of the things you do. I've been buying and selling cars for years (and doing most of the normal maintenance on them), but I've never tackled the things that both you snd your dad do, and I'm impressed! The work that you are currently doing on your Rad Charger is a perfect example of a guy who, no matter what sort of repair work is necessary... you just seem to "wade in" and do it. Good for you!!!

If you're keeping tbi, talk to Rory about how well his msd unit does

I always learn quite a bit when I watch Rudy’s videos. That is one of several reasons why I subscribed, To his channel. Plus, my wife and I love his attitude!

Hey Rudy! such an impressive and satisfying watch! i gotta say, your skills and attitude are inspiring. you are the real deal, Bro. like so many other guys have posted, you attack every challenge and problem so confidently and logically that it's enjoyable to watch and cheer for you. so many youtubers are just plain posers, no real substance just out to get popular and ride the gravy chain if they get lucky. but your enjoyment and enthusiasm for what you are doing is contagious and just plain fun to watch. it really struck me today unlike the rest of the Utah guys, it's just you and Janelle! and you still get it all done like a boss and with authenticity, never any excuses or whining. good for you!

I think most of that OnX challenge was dumb lol. No one wants to watch unneeded trail part swaps and weird challenges like tent setup? I want to watch off roading! I'm glad the rear windows survived. Next is 6bt swap? 😁

Hi Rudy Yea the fuel injection units are full of china parts and don`t hold up very good in a lot of applications from what i`ve seen online and the performance gains are just not reality. I would do a re maned Quadrajet and jet it properly for the 360 and it will be way more reliable in my opinion. And I had to laugh when you were talking about how it feels to drive this boat. It feels like a big boat for sure. Huge vehicles for off roading. My boss had one back in the day when they were new. Peace out.

Very inspiring, to get a bent up truck right again. Sometimes these things are overwhelming when they happen, and then you just go out one morning and say, "It's not that bad, I can fix this". And it's great to see this happen. It's even better and stronger than before. And by watching it I learned a few things about rear suspension. Good clear entertaining video. You're really making a decent channel into a good channel. Keep up the good work! Databyter p.s. I don't know who your cinematographer was, but they did a good job on this video. It was natural anc clear. p.p.s. Give it an oil change immediately if it was really full of unburnt fuel for days. The oil is probably bad, even if it looks like the gas has evaporated out of it. It hasn't. Not completely. Smell it to be sure. If it smells fuelly, it is. There is only a few things that can really screw up oil, and you did one of em.

Make sure you check to make sure the axle tubes all the way in the on with the s shaped leaf spring likely jumped a little sideways.

The Rad Charger lives again, it's true some offroad rigs are never done because we break them, great video Rudy ❤️😎👍

Hi, to help your suspension blades work you should put Teflon strips between each blade. In Switzerland we did it in the garage of Volvo trucks, the blades had a longer lifespan and did not make noise while working better.

At the beginning of the video, that list seemed rather extensive and possible drawn out. You (or the editor...or both) did a great job covering the repairs! Loved it! Can't wait to see where you go from here.

LOVE THE RADCHARGER. Great job on the challenge too.

I absolutely LOVE your channel. To the point that I want to start over landing. In order to do so, I ordered a lift kit from ROUGH COUNTRY. I AM POSTING THIS AS A WARNING TO EVERYONE..... I purchased a 4" lift kit for MY 84 RadCharger. I was told that it would have EVERYTHING that I needed. Well, the front sway bar links, the rear u bolts , and shackles all had to be repurchased due to the lift, being more of a 6" lift. So, it is a bit taller, but my husband is a double amputee, and this causes a problem.... Not including the $248 in parts that I had to purchase afterwards. OK, so I called RC directly and even though he agreed that the wrong parts were in the box, he REFUSED to help in any way! We live on a tight budget, and this f**ked me over , HARD! I just don't want any of you to have to go through the extra money, and crappy service!

I think that ram charger is Chuck Norris approve. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

put an anti-wrap bar/assembly onto that axle truss and up to the front about the same length as the driveshaft. They work quite well and eliminate the problems from axle wrap.

Rudy, this its one of your best videos yet. Great screen presence and video editing. Love the Radcharger. Great work!

Good job Rudy. Dig it man. Cut the back off from the top to the bottom had a 45. Shorten the backup tailgate relieves slant. Maybe you will get the rocks in wrap it with steel plates it'll slide off.🤷🏽‍♂️😊😎✌🏽🙋🏽‍♂️.

You need to change the oil before you wipe the bearings the EFI flooding the Engine would put gas in the Oil will wash the cylinder walls and will kill the Engine!

All the damage to the Radcharger just showed you what needed to be fixed and modified....... Great job getting it fixed up thus far. I also LOVE the new tee shirt. Is Janelle okay?

Switch to Holley Sniper FI. Don’t forget to change the oil before you run it. All that fuel in the oil will spin a bearing. Love the way this thing turned out. Bring it over to the Rubicon. It’ll fit there.

🤔 What Rudy was thinking when he fixed the tailgate with the rubber mallet.... "Eat your heart out Robby Layton... this is how I do bodywork & no blow tack and static required" 🤣👍 All kidding aside... going to be cool seeing what you have in store for this project 🤠👍

I love all the CAD & plasma table fabrication. The cool thing about that is you can make two of anything, or even flip a part over if need be to go on the other side. Plus you can store anything for when you need to make another one after a destructive trail ride. A lot less cardboard and eye-chrometer stuff than in your dad's shop. That narrow trail and one-handed repair task were ridiculous. Lost a lot of respect for the sponsor for their poor choices. The whole point of X is to find safe trails that don't destroy your ride.

OnX did NOT plan their "Off Road Challenge" very well...that was OBVIOUS as thousands of us watched the whole thing on the different channels...they DID NOT do their homework well, OR know the trails and their hard to crazy spots well, OR plan the entire challenge well. The whole thing LACKED common sense, reason and consideration for the contestants nice rigs they built and all of the hard work, time and money they put into building them. The challenge, the course, the obstacles and OnX's LACK of due preparation and FAILURE to let everyone KNOW ahead of time about the crazy, narrow, steep spots was NOT cool. Most of us SERIOUSLY DOUBT the contestants WOULD have taken their vehicles through the ridiculous challenges in such insane places and torn up and broken them needlessly like that. If OnX does anything like their challenge in the future the WHOLE THING needs to be done REALISTICALLY and REASONABLY on trails that DON'T tear the hell out of them...that is not FUN, it's just STUPID.

@@moparman1962 Couldn't agree more. If you are going to include 50 inch wide trails, tell contestants BEFORE they start building their vehicles. That's a whole different class of vehicle. It's like the event planners did not understand the purpose of OnX at all. It's all about finding trails your vehicle and skill level are suited for. For example, never take a wider vehicle on a 50 inch trail. I'm pretty sure BLM and the parks don't allow that.

Good to see you back!

Good to see you are getting it back on the road. Robby will have some good suggestions for the body work. I would go to a qjet. They are very capable on and off road when set up correctly. Have to laugh everytime you get on the ground to work on a vehicle that is in a hoist. Get comfortable using it.

Rudy can fix anything.

Keep up the good work, always good content on tge rudy channel

So are you going to paint the Rudicon to match the Radcharger?

So many channels that I watch test their Ship by hitting a drive-through

Nice fix Rudy🤙😎

Nice work! Glad to see the radcharger getting fixed up!

Yeah that entire contest was a complete turd. The host knew full well it was going to be a demo derby.

When does Janelle get her own channel ? Great job Sir, you're going far. Those challenges were not thoughtful of your large sized vehicle. We all get that, you've learned from that experience too, it's nice to hear you comment positively about your experience. Keep up the great fab work, plus just be Rudy...

Good job.

The Rad charger is a Great rig hope it evolves into its full-grown mode

That chevy frame is worth $15 hundred where I live, too bad it is so far away or I would have given 3 sets of springs for that entire parts truck

Thanks For Sharing Rudy And Co. ! 🧂

Great video guys, you've almost got the cuts invisible and the to camera stuff is miles more better.

Been driving with a broken leaf spring on my super duty because of the cost of a new one, thanks for the tip! I’m sure my wife won’t mind another pieced out truck in the driveway

Loving the more consistent uploads. Your really starting to get in the groove. Your content is 🔥. The radcharger is so sweet. It makes your jeep look so tiny 😆 ❤❤🎉

Excellent video Rudy....where's Genell been ?....we miss her

Man, Im so embarrassed. I feel "cool" for being able to change my oil, and brakes. You just disassembled an entire chassis and suspension. I need to up my game. Awesome channel, and I love the RadCharger!

Very nice job. It's coming along nicely so far my friend.
