Widebody the cab, with rally fenders, so it has fenders over the front wheels, then fenders in rear, with big ass rally mud flaps all around? ....Oldschool Hella rally lighting on top.... It'll look like a tiny rally raid/Dakar, or Safari truck.

The amount of progress you guys make in a single video is staggering. Some channels would stretch this one episode into months of incremental progress. But you guys knock it out in record time, and I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate that fact.

I mean it is clear that this project was done over weeks if not months. The boys probably just decided that doing big singular episodes work better with their audience. I'd guess if you have more videos labelled "Ep. 26" or thereabouts random non-subbed viewers have less incentive to click on it. Also iirc in recent times KZread changed something in their pay system, favouring long real life videos.

There's a recent video of an Acty Crawler fire truck where the seller goes under the truck and shows the axles/suspension. Now, whether or not adding the treads can be considered powering the middle axle is a debate...

@Grind Hard Plumbing Co Its honestly impressive. I'm sure this one will become a fun truck to have around. I've been meaning to get back in the garage and finish my own projects. Seeing what you guys can accomplish with what you got amazes me and honestly helps me figure out what to do when I get stuck. Often when I'm working I'll have your videos playing on the laptop and sometimes when I'm stuck you guys happen to have figured out a solution before I can. I hope you don't mind me stealing your ideas from time to time. In the end thankyou.
All the work you put in that 6-6 it's going to be sick as you know what Can't wait to see it running Fireman 🔥🔥🔥
Yeehaw now bulls. Rippin and a tearin now, just a rippin and a tearin good times
Love this project!!!. I had a great laugh as I recently noticed that you guys loved the word "premium" on the last video. Seeing you guys release the premium bottle opener and admitting that you love the word was... Premium.
Look at you actually adding practicality to the Polaris! A nice enclosed body. Should be a whole lot nicer when it's cold or wet than the original.

Yeah in that config it might be something to pay 30K new.. Hell if that thing was road legal here, i might even consider buying it... then again its Polaris.. price of spares went up.. its side by side.. so price went up and its road legal with Kei truck on top.. yeah it would cost around 60K and you could not get spare parts for it with out selling a kidney. Guy i know did little suspension maintenance in his Polaris ATV.. "just" 1K€ bill in parts alone, yeah no. How ever if Mitsubishi did this.. now we are talking. Simple and reliable 6x6 using car parts that are already in production. Sadly that is not the case.

Guys waching your videos the only limitation to your builds i think is your imagination and thats unique i haven't see this anywhere else. You are one of the kind. Above every thing they are also functional. My name is Jim and i am from greece.
Definitely digging this one! Can't wait to see the long travel, big bore, tracks, and more!
This has to be one of the more unique builds you guys have come up with, I love it and everything else y’all do, I can’t wait to see it done
I can not tell you how many times i have asked for longer videos from you guys. I am only one guy im sure out of thousands to say thank you for the longer content. THANK YOU!!!!!!
I've said it before but I'll say it again. Thanks for being an engineering/mechanic/automotive channel that isn't all macho/bravado based. There's no weird american flag crap, there's no scammy bro-brands, there's no being weirdly proud to be a rural person(i say that as a rural person), and there's no weird ego crap. It's just some folks having a blast in their shop making a silly project. I appreciate it.
I love the idea of a 6x6 Kei truck.
"Science...or something." "Unreasonable precision." So many great quotes in this episode....what a ridiculously premium project!
You guys are the best! Don’t ever change how you do things… The entirety of your guy’s show is perfect! Loved every minute of it! As usual! 👍
Glad to see more people building 6x6 vehicle’s. I did a 6x6 Honda 300 and it was so badass couldn’t believe more people weren’t trying it
GH Crew, I hope leaving build suggestions is ok. I love the mini trucks, especially the hard to find 90's double cabs. Crazy Idea: Upgrade a double cab mini truck engine, put double track snowmobile tracks on the back, use that wheel/ski combination they use in the Alps. 4 door, enclosed snow vehicle with heat and tunes.
I love seeing the time-lapse and watching the suspension go up as you strip it down :)
You guys always make cool shit, but there is something about this project that tickles my brain in just the right way. I love it, and I can't wait to see it finished. Thank you.

Idk how you keep making me think "this is the greatest thing ever" over and over with builds. I know they're all unique, which makes it hard to compare them to each other. I think that's what does it. It's a constant state of we need to build a thing that does that thing better than the thing we already made. It's always taking something odd to new levels.

Amazing conversion. The funniest part of seeing this video today, was my 14yr old had just this last summer started his own lawn mowing business and he was looking at one of those small trucks and pointed it out to me. He said the moment he gets his license, he wants one so he can haul his equipment locally.

Look dimensions, look how each part operates and moves and if one does not effect negatively anything around it, it should be fine. You can also use both versions of CAD to visualize it if your spatial awareness sucks.

Incredibile work guys! So glad to see your videos! Amaizing every Time
Will's dream was my reality. A couple of years ago I had my phone in my back pocket, slipped and landed on a rock. Cracked and completely bent a phone I had only had for like two months. XD Can't wait to see that thing driving. Keep up the good work, and keep your phone out of your back pocket Will!
A trick to accurately shortening frames is to leave 2 markers using a punch fx, a precise distance from eachother on the side of your cut you plan to keep. That way you can always tell when you butt the two ends back together, if one is slightly shorter or longer than the other.
Another very productive day. I looked up Ackermann steering geometry. I’ve seen that before but mathematics were never a good subject for me so I’ll just continue to sit back and watch you geniuses do your thing. Keep up the great work and entertainment.👍👍🇨🇦

Mini wedge trailer and a turn table on the back of it. Love the work even years later. Aussie love.

Perfect ! The perfect farm utv , honda should pair up an acty with an pioneer 1000 (lhd) drive train, heat and ac for our Canadian climate, good off road performance + load capacity, even a 4x4 version would be enough, good job guys !!!
I love that you guys been killing it. And still at same place with same stuff and same small garage.
Good work. Looking forward to seeing it when it's done.
far and away the most creative and competent engineers of madness on youtube
Maybe the coolest build you've done yet, absolutely love it, cant wait till its finished!
the way you were saying kei was driving me nuts for some reason, i was so happy when you finally said it right
As the proud new owner of an old 6x6 m35a2....I love this. Awesome build
Can not wait to see this mad little 6x6 around the track It's going to be nut keep up the great work love your new video style
Need wider A arms and longer suspension now. This thing is sick
Guys home run project. I so want this 6x6! eBay Motors sponsored projects really blow us away. A 6x6 with cab is crazy. You need to get a heater core and fan kit for the cab.
I enjoyed this video much more than the thumbnail made me expect to. The build is much more intricate than just putting a truck on top of another truck.
Living the dream! Love the Grind Hard Homies!
looking forward to the finish and unpolishing on the off roads with this.... killer build
Video quality is as you guys would say premium, look forward to watching these each week
Continue creating stuff we would love to see as kids that's what the dreams about much love from 🏴👌👍

Thank you for integrating your sponsor in a way that makes it obvious that it is a sponsorship (not insulting your audience) but also in a way that seems value added. I waste a lot of time on youtube, this is one of the best jobs I have seen matching a product to an audience. I usually skip forward during the sell, no need to do so here. Well done to both you and eBay.
