We Secretly Pimped Our Friend’s Ride

The wait is finally over: Borla's Casc lights have arrived at Miranda Shop, and they are ready to illuminate Christina's new hardcore off-roader. The team has been eagerly anticipating the arrival of these high-performance lights, which will not only provide superior lighting but also complete the vehicle's transformation into a formidable trail-ready beast.

The moment of truth has finally arrived, as the team gathers around the vehicle to admire its newly upgraded features. The Casc lights are now installed, shining brightly with an intense beam that will illuminate even the darkest trails. Alongside these impressive headlights, Dust lights and a Flood beam have also been added, providing ample lighting for navigating even the most challenging terrain.

The rust on the rear end of the vehicle has proven to be a significant issue, slowing down progress and prompting concerns about the project's timeline. The team is now faced with the daunting task of addressing this problem while still adhering to their original schedule. "We might have to delay her," admits one team member, as they assess the extent of the rust damage.

Despite this setback, the team remains committed to completing the project on time and ensuring that Christina's vehicle is ready for its maiden voyage. Additional tanks will need to be attached to the roof rack, while an awning is still waiting to be installed. With less than two hours remaining before the deadline, every minute counts as the team scrambles to finish the task at hand.

Meanwhile, another customer has taken up a significant portion of the shop's attention, prompting one team member to confess that they're "too busy talking" and apologize for any inconvenience caused. The customer is assured that their car will be finished soon, but first, the team needs to resolve an exhaust leak issue on Christina's vehicle.

The roof rack has now been installed, and the team is preparing it for use by attaching all the necessary equipment and tanks. However, a crucial component – the Mount of the mount – remains elusive, leaving the team in a quandary about which direction to take next. With patience and teamwork, they manage to resolve the issue and proceed with the installation.

As the project nears completion, the team is approached by an Overlander enthusiast who expresses their amazement at Christina's vehicle transformation. The team admits to having pimped out the ride, adding a 2-inch lift, new tires, wheels, KC lights, and even an exhaust system. The customer can't help but feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of upgrades.

In preparation for Christina's maiden voyage, the team selects a small obstacle course in a nearby neighborhood as their testing ground. Max takes the wheel, navigating the vehicle through a challenging trail while Christina observes from the passenger seat. As they approach the first dip, Max expresses his apprehension, but with careful guidance and reassurance, he successfully navigates the curve.

The test drive concludes, with Max confidently steering the vehicle over the next obstacle. The audience is left in awe of his driving skills, while Christina learns to appreciate her new off-roader's capabilities. As the team reflects on their work, they express pride in completing a challenging project and transforming a vehicle into an unrecognizable beast.

In closing, the team extends gratitude to Miranda Shop, Stephanie Sandro, and all their sponsors for providing parts that have made this project possible. If you're inspired by Christina's transformation and want to see more off-roading adventures, be sure to check out their videos and social media channels. With a newfound appreciation for the power of teamwork and determination, the team bids farewell to another successful project, leaving room for future endeavors and exciting updates in store.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis is our friend Christina Subaru Forester and it's broken Christina is a producer here at donut and she's owned the same car for over 15 years she refuses to get rid of it and it keeps breaking down and we're sick of it right now it's in the shop but what she doesn't know is that we're going to be secretly upgrading it to a reliable badass camper that won't leave her stranded anymore because friends don't let friends Drive boring cars here's the plan Sandro is going to find out why it broke down in the first place and do absolutely everything he can to make it drivable and reliable again then we're going to install a bunch of mods that's Wheels tires suspension armor lights exhaust interior stuff and a bunch of other things but we only have 48 hours to get everything done and we need to do it before she gets suspicious and the clock is already ticking so Christina brought me her car she sounded kind of like worried about her baby because she's like hey is it going to even work is the motor going to get blow up what's wrong with it you know so this is what she said the check engine light went on the oil light went on the car wasn't moving she was stepping on the gas but what we found was this car really needs maintenance radiator is old hoses are bad the auto body is giving us a problem that's one of the codes the exhaust is picked away the piping is gone too let's check out the rest of the car are these Chicago rotors cuz they're Rusty as suspension is coming out as you can see is we have leakage I'm going to leave it for for Justin to have fun with the suspension since he likes Subaru you guys are going to have fun on this car all right so now it's day two sandre what did you take care of yesterday brakes rotors drums radiator we tore down the exhaust this bad boy has a lot of rust so we're bringing it back the best we can you know we've got to get this all done today so to make sure we complete it in time I brought in some additional help it's Stephanie you might know Stephanie from real mechanic stuff so she's going to be here helping us out to make sure we complete our deadline let's get to work hell yeah we've got a lot to do today so we're going to divide and conquer Steph is getting started on mounting the tires while I work on the front bumper bar then we'll move on to the heavy duty stuff like the suspension but what we're finding is even the easy parts are turning into a challenge to install because of all the rust it's it's just too rusty one down so what I'm working on right now is removing the stock tow hooks and I'm replacing it with this bracket right here and this bracket holds our fancy danty rally Innovations bash bar so what this is going to do is not only give her some extra protection while she's off-roading but it's also going to give her somewhere to mount after market lights so that she see if she's driving at night while out and about adventuring it's really easy to bolt in the only problem is getting rid of all this rust to get there so I got some work to do all right next up is wheels and tires what we're doing is we're installing these hand cooked Diner Pros on these 15 by7 off-road wheels these bad boys are going on since these are new Wheels they do not have a valve on we need to put that we need to put that on and let me just we're good to go so now this we want to push the lower part to be right around where the valve stem is just cuz if you do have TPMS sensors you want to be very careful not to damage them but this doesn't have those sensors cuz is an old ass Subaru I'm sorry I'm sorry Christina and Justin bam there we go so now we want to try and do is fill it up with air that way the tire beads naturally this guy might need a little bit of help and what is that that is a cheetah it has pressurized air and it basically will try and force the tire to be now I I'm a little dude me carrying this with the pressure it uses that is not a good idea so I'm going to call on some help for my boy Sandro Sandro is a big dude big tall dude with strong uh Strong Limbs so he's going to help with the cheetah get this bad boy in the roll oh yeah you ready it's like a countdown like rocket ship wait wait wait hold up let me let me beat this bad boy right there I got you count three one one two two it did it you guys see that look come take a look at
