We're Moments Away from Delivering this Car to Doug
We are just moments away from delivering this car to Doug, he's the one that won this and is the reason for this whole trip. Anyway, this is going to be great. The thing is, if you want to see this car get handed off to Doug, you're going to have to go over to Fab Bratz, check it out. I don't even know what the name of the video is yet, but you'll find it because they're going to give this car away.
So, plan is to get this engine pulled and do some stuff before we can pull the engine. We've got to finish this rear mount, the stock Mount right here, it's not going to work, luckily the guy over at off-road designs have already solved this problem with this aftermarket style better Mount. So that's what we're working on really quick.
We're going to get these tacked in all right, so while Tom finishes that up, tell you what's next. We're going to be mounting these, this is for slinging the engine out of there, they're just some adapters, so that we can hook it and pull the engine out and then we can get in there and finish welding everything and then we're basically final assembly. Got some wiring to do, some steering to do, some brakes to do, just final assembly.
I think we're to the point where we can push this out of the shop, lift the engine out of it, the whole drivetrain is coming out. You have a place to put it, no, this thing is completely balanced right now on the oil pan, transmission is up in the air, transfer case up in the air, it's sitting entirely on the oil pan as long as it doesn't break the end of that off I guess.
All right, we've got this all cleaned up, we're going to put it back in the shop and we're going to start welding some brackets on. Good okay, so Lizzie and I measured out where every single bracket is and what kind of bracket goes there, a couple days ago, so we're going to follow this Legend in real life over on that here's some of the brackets here's some of the brackets.
So, we're going to get all these brackets figured out and laid out and then we'll take you to that one. All right, I just got a call and I've got to go do it. We got another Jeep sunk in Rattlesnake, I'm leaving TomTom to finish this job so um, I'm going to symbolically and actually pass the torch to Tom.
All right, so I've been welding on this middle section here for a while, it's getting really hot. I'm letting the welder cool off for a few minutes and I'll show you what I did down here in this belly part of the wrecker, uh, it's it's a 4 inch plate down there on the bottom but it's got some huge brackets attached underneath that need to be really strong. So, what we're trying to do is put in a bunch of gussets or ribs or braces all in here to stiffen it up really good.
So, you can see there's a ton of these, I'm trying to bounce around a little bit as I weld them like weld in different areas so nothing's warping and it looks like it's pretty rigid. So, I'm going to bounce to some different areas right now, we got some brackets that we're going to put in here and then I'll get back in here into this tunnel and finish the rest of this here in the back.
Matt finally decided to show up, I did I finally showed up he was out on a job at uh Rattlesnake or something so I've been welding these braces in. We've probably got 3/4 of them done it's the end of the day everybody's wiped out and it's Thanksgiving so I think we're going to call it a day, yep, I think it's time to go home really appreciate you your patience while we work on the world's largest off-road record. You guys have a good Thanksgiving, talk to you later, thanks for watching.
Trevor and Sker: The Next Chapter

We're all friends, you're probably going to be seeing them on the on the channel in the future so out of respect for the privacy of both Trevor and sker, we haven't really brought this up but it's obvious now that you guys care deeply and so we're just letting you know what they're up to.
