WHAT'S UP, AMERICA?

[ LAUGHS ]

-I'M HEAVY D. -[ LAUGHS ]

AND I'M DIESEL DAVE.

WHOA!

Heavy D: WE BUY TRUCKS, FLIP TRUCKS, AND SELL THEM FOR A PROFIT.

YEAH!

AND TONIGHT WE'RE FINISHING UP A GIVEAWAY TRUCK.

MY LATEST GIVEAWAY, THE NEW GIVEAWAY TRUCK.

YOU KNOW I WANTED TO GIVE AWAY A KODIAK FOR A LONG TIME.

A NEW-SCHOOL SPIN ON AN OLD-SCHOOL DIESEL WORKHORSE.

YOU PICKED THE TRUCK. MM-HMM.

SOMETHING TELLS ME YOU'RE PROBABLY GONNA NEED

A LITTLE HELP.

BECAUSE THE THING ABOUT NEW TRUCKS IS, WELL,

THEY DON'T HAVE SOME OF THE SAME MECHANICAL ISSUES

THE OLD TRUCKS HAVE,

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, TRYING TO CUSTOMIZE THESE THINGS --

PBHT! GOOD LUCK FINDING PARTS.

THAT BOLT PATTERN FOR THAT KODIAK,

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE HERE IN TIME.

IT'S THE WILD WEST OUT THERE.

Man: YEE-HAW!

[ LAUGHS ]

OH, MAN, THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.

I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO NEED A LITTLE HELP TELLING YOUR WIFE

THAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO DRIVE

THE MAD SCIENTIST SAM'S LATEST CREATION.

THE OCTOPUS THING? OH, YEAH.

WE'RE BUILDING THAT? OH, YEAH.

JUST BECAUSE IT'S A SEA-CREATURE THEMED BUILD

WITH SUCTION CUPS FOR A SEAT...

OH! IT'S COLD.

Heavy D: WITH AN ENGINE THAT SITS RIGHT BETWEEN MY LEGS,

AND IT'S A MONOWHEEL,

AND IT'S REALLY NOT, LIKE, THE SAFEST VEHICLE IN THE WORLD.

YOU SEE ANY RED FLAGS?

THE ENTIRE PROJECT.

YOU'RE JUST NOT GONNA TELL HER?

NO, I'M NOT.

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!

YEAH! YOU DID IT!

WATCH THIS DISMOUNT.

WHOA! YOU'RE READY FOR THE CIRCUS.

NO, WHAT I'M REALLY READY FOR

IS TO SEE WHAT THOSE FORTY'S LOOK LIKE ON HERE.

LAST WEEK I MADE HISTORY

BECOMING THE FIRST PERSON EVER -- BESIDES HEAVY D --

TO PICK A GIVEAWAY TRUCK.

SO I PICKED A SWEET 2019 CHEVY SILVERADO 5500

MODELED AFTER THE LEGENDARY KODIAK DIESEL WORKHORSE

THAT WAS GONE TOO SOON.

THIS IS CHEVY'S FIRST MEDIUM DUTY TRUCK

WITH A 6.6 DURAMAX MOTOR IN OVER 10 YEARS.

SO I SET OUT TO CREATE A MODERN-DAY KODIAK

TO CONQUER THE DIESEL WORLD.

WHAT DID YOU PAY FOR THIS?

$65,000. COME ON. BREAK HIM IN EASY.

BUT I SPENT SO MUCH ON THE ACTUAL TRUCK

THAT I HAD TO CUT SOME COSTS.

SO I FOUND FLATBED OUT BACK.

Man: SPECIAL DELIVERY!

THE OLD HEADACHE RACK

DIDN'T REALLY MATCH THE BODY LINES,

SO WE HAD CUT THAT OFF,

BUILD A NEW HEADACHE RACK FROM SCRATCH...

WHOO-HOO!

COVER IT IN BEAUTIFUL POWDER COAT,

THEN WE GET TO THE FUN STUFF --

THE 3-INCH CUSTOM LIFT, THE 20-INCH WHEELS.

THE 40-INCH TIRES,

LINE-X THE FLATBED, MAKE IT PERFECT.

ALL THOSE DETAILS THAT MAKE IT WORTHY OF A GIVEAWAY

BUT WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK.

THE NEXT STEP IS CUSTOMIZING IT TO WORK WITH BIGGER TIRES.

-IS THE AXLE A LITTLE... -FORWARD?

-BACK. -BACK IN THE WHEEL WELL?

-SIDE TO SIDE? -WE HAD THIS BED ON A FORD.

Man: SO THE AXLE IS PROBABLY

IN A DIFFERENT SPOT THAN ON THIS TRUCK.

WHY DON'T WE POP THESE WHEELS

AND TIRES OFF OF THIS?

MIGHT BE ABLE AT LEAST GET IT CENTERED ON THERE CLOSER-ISH.

♪

Heavy D: THIS FLATBED WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED

FOR A TRUCK WITH STOCK SUSPENSION.

WELL, THE TRUCK'S NOT GOING TO HAVE STOCK SUSPENSION

BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA LIFT IT AND PUT BIGGER WHEELS

AND TIRES ON IT.

WHAT THAT DOES IS BASICALLY CHANGES

THE CENTER LINE OF THE AXLE JUST A LITTLE BIT,

BUT IT'S ENOUGH THAT YOU'RE GONNA NOTICE IT.

SO BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO,

MOCK UP THE BIG 40-INCH TIRE,

TAKE THE MEASUREMENT, AND THEN RE-CUT THE WHEEL WELL OPENING

SO THAT EVERYTHING'S CENTERED AND LINED UP.

THESE CUTS GOT TO BE PRETTY MUCH PERFECT

BECAUSE IF WE CUT TOO DEEP INTO THIS,

THEN WE'RE GONNA BE REPLACING THE SKIRT.

AND AT THAT POINT, THEN WE'RE STARTING TO CHANGE WELDS.

AND ALSO, IT'S GOT TO BE, LIKE, A NICE LINE

BECAUSE OTHERWISE...

YOU MAY NOT NOTICE RIGHT NOW,

BUT OUT IN THE DAYLIGHT, YOU'LL SEE IF THAT THING'S ZIGZAGGY.

SO MARK THAT INSIDE.

THAT GIVES US A REFERENCE POINT TO BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT

WHERE THE EXACT DEAD CENTER OF A TIRE IS GOING TO BE.

SO THAT RIGHT THERE...

Man: IS DEAD CENTER.

...IS DEAD CENTER OF OUR LIFE OPENING.

NOW, THE WHEEL OPENING THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE

IS...26 1/2.

WHICH IN THAT RADIUS ALMOST LOOKS RIGHT, DOESN'T IT?

WE CAN GO A LITTLE BIGGER.

PROBABLY GONNA HAVE TO, ACTUALLY.

WHATEVER WE DO, WE HAVE TO WORK OFF

OF THIS EXISTING LINE HERE.

HOLD THAT RIGHT THERE.

SEE THE ANGLE RIGHT HERE? WE NEED A TRUE CIRCLE.

DO YOU HAVE AN ANGLE FINDER?

WE NEED TO FOLLOW THE ORIGINAL WHEEL OPENING ON THIS FLATBED.

BUT THE SAME TIME, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE IT'S A PERFECT CIRCLE,

BECAUSE IF IT'S NOT AND IT'S KIND OF

LIKE A WEIRD SHAPE AND THE TIRE IS PERFECTLY ROUND,

THE TIRE IS NOT GOING TO LOOK GOOD IN THERE.

SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE USING AN ANGLE FINDER TO MAKE SURE

WE FIND THE EXACT PERFECT CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE CIRCLE.

27 HERE.

THERE WE GO. ANGLES ARE CLOSE ENOUGH.

27 HERE. 27 THERE.

IT LOOKS PRETTY SPOT ON.

SO NOW LET'S CUT IT.

♪

♪

YEAH, I LIKE IT.

LOOKS A LOT BETTER.

THOSE TIRES, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH RIGHT HEIGHT.

SO NOW WE JUST NEED TO GET WHEELS AND TIRES.

ARE YOU WORKING ON THAT, OR...?

NO, I'M NOT THE PARTS GUY. THAT'S MUSCLE.

HE'S GONNA BRING 'EM BACK.

♪

...ADDED IN A SWAY BAR, JUST MAKE IT DRIVE

THAT MUCH BETTER, MAKE SURE AXLE'S NOT WALKING AROUND.

HEY HEAVY, YOU GOT A SECOND?

[ SIGHS ] OH, NO.

Heavy D: YOU GOT THAT [BLEEP] EATING GRIN ON YOUR FACE RIGHT NOW,

LIKE YOU'RE ABOUT TO SELL ME ON A PROJECT.

ON THAT NOTE, I'M GOING TO KEEP WORKING.

THAT'S WHERE -- YOU'RE JUST GONNA WALK AWAY.

YEAH. YOU GUYS GOT THIS HANDLED.

HEY, I'M GOING TO REMEMBER THIS.

-I'M ACTUALLY EXCITED. -SAM, YOU GOT IT, BUD.

I'M EXCITED, BUT I'M ALSO ALREADY SAD.

IT'S LIKE OPENING UP A SURPRISE GIFT.

NO, IT'S LIKE OPENING UP A BILL IN THE MAIL.

SAM IS OUR RESIDENT MAD SCIENTIST AROUND HERE.

THE GUY COMES UP WITH THE MOST WILD,

OUTSIDE THE BOX BUILDS YOU COULD EVER THINK OF.

AND HE'S CONSTANTLY PUSHING THE ENVELOPE.

INTRODUCING THE DIESELSELLERZ EXCLUSIVE DIESEL MOTORCYCLE!

ELECTRIC MINI DRAG BIKE.

Heavy D: YOU'VE PIQUED MY INTEREST.

YEAH, I'LL KEEP IT SHORT AND SWEET.

SO YOU READY TO SEE

SAM, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, IT DOESN'T MATTER

WHETHER I'M READY OR NOT 'CAUSE YOU'RE GONNA --

JUST LIKE THAT, YOU'RE GOING TO SHOW ME.

HERE WE GO, RIGHT THERE.

WHAT IS IT?

I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE KRAKEN.

WHAT THE HELL'S THE KRAKEN?

WELL, APART FROM IT BEING, LIKE, THE MYTHOLOGICAL SEA BEAST...

MM-HMM.

THIS IS A MONOWHEEL.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE ONES WHERE THE WHEEL SPINS

AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE RIDER, RIGHT?

THOSE ARE ALWAYS SO UNSTABLE.

I LOVE THE WAY THEY LOOK, LOVE THE WAY THE WHEEL --

LIKE, HOW ORGANIC IT LOOKS.

MM-HMM.

BUT I WANTED TO MAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE STABLE.

SO I FIGURED MAKING TWO OUTRIGGERS KIND OF LIKE ARMS

OR PONTOONS ON A BOAT OR A PLANE TO HELP STABILIZE IT.

BACK UP. BACK UP. BACK UP. BACK UP. BACK UP.

HOW FAR?

WE STILL BACKING?

YOU -- YOU'RE GETTING INTO THE DETAILS

BEFORE YOU EVEN SOLD ME ON WHAT THE HELL THIS IS FOR.

THIS RIGHT HERE IS FOR SOCIAL MEDIA EXPOSURE.

SO IF YOU SEE RIGHT HERE, WE GOT A MAD SCIENTIST FORMULA.

THIS HAS WORKED GREAT SO FAR.

CRAZY IDEA TIMES THE COST

DIVIDED BY THE COOLNESS FACTOR

GIVES YOU WEBSITE TRAFFIC SQUARED.

YOU GET A LOT OF VIEWS FROM THE CRAZY STUFF THAT WE --

THERE'S NO NUMBERS IN THERE. THOSE ARE ALL WORDS.

EXACTLY. FORMULA IS JUST SOMETHING YOU FOLLOW.

YOU HAVE TO PLUG IN YOUR NUMBERS AS YOU GO.

DO YOU HAVE A COST?

YEAH, IT'S A VERY, VERY TINY NUMBER.

I ACTUALLY HAVE IT HIDDEN UNDER HERE,

VERY SMALL,

VERY, VERY SMALL NUMBERS.

THE SMALLEST $10,000 I'VE EVER SEEN.

WHY DID YOU STASH THE NUMBER BEHIND THERE

AND MAKE IT SO SMALL?

UH, KEEP FROM STICKER SHOCK.

I SEE $10,000. MM-HMM.

ALRIGHT, SAM.

YOU DID IT AGAIN.

YOU CONVINCED ME INTO ANOTHER TERRIBLE,

TERRIBLE -- TERRIBLY LOOKING IDEA,

BUT WITH HUGE POTENTIAL.

IF YOU THINK YOU CAN GET IT DONE

AND WE DON'T GO OVER THAT BUDGET,

[BLEEP], I'LL ROLL THE DICE AGAIN.

APPRECIATE IT, DAVE. I'M GONNA GET STARTED.

YOU'RE GONNA WANNA GO AHEAD AND DO THAT.

I LOVE SAM'S IDEA FOR THE KRAKEN.

LIKE, IT'S FREAKING GENIUS.

HOWEVER, WE'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING

EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO THIS,

WHICH MEANS WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO A TON OF R&D

BEFORE WE'RE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE ENGINEERING

THAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO GET THIS THING TO WORK.

TO GET SAM'S CRAZY SEA BEAST CONCEPT ROLLING,

WE'RE GONNA NEED TO FAB UP A STEEL MONOWHEEL FOR THE BASE.

THEN WE'RE GONNA ADD TWO TENTACLE OUTRIGGERS

FOR STABILITY

WITH SIMILAR-LOOKING MONOWHEELS ON EACH END.

THEN WE'LL DESIGN A SYSTEM FOR EACH OUTRIGGER

TO PIVOT AT THE SHOULDERS AT A 45-DEGREE ANGLE.

WE'LL POWER THE BEAST

WITH A 500cc TWO-CYLINDER DIESEL ENGINE

AND AN RHB31 TURBO.

WE'LL INSTALL SUCTION CUP SEATS TO KEEP THE NAUTICAL THEME

AND FINISH IT OFF WITH A TON OF OTHER

DEEP-SEA INSPIRED FEATURES.

♪

WELL, LISTEN. TEN GRAND.

THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY FOR A PROJECT THAT WE HAVE NO IDEA

A, IF WE CAN BUILD IT, AND B, WHAT THE HELL

WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH IT.

YOU SEEM REALLY SOLD ON THAT ONE.

WHEN YOU SAY, "A TERRIBLE IDEA THAT I'M GOING TO GO FOR."

IT'S NOT WORTH FIGHTING WITH HIM.

COMING UP, SAM'S SEA BEAST MONOWHEEL TAKES SHAPE.

THESE ARE GOING TO BASICALLY BE OUR OUTRIGGER ARMS.

LIKE THIS.

BUT THE KODIAK CAN'T GET ROLLING.

THAT BOLT PATTERN FOR THAT KODIAK

IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND.

I'M BRINGING BACK THE LEGEND OF THE KODIAK

WITH A CUSTOM ONE-OFF GIVEAWAY TRUCK

BUILT TO WORK.

SO, WE'VE GOT THE CUSTOM FLATBEDS SENT OFF TO POWDERCOAT,

THE 3-INCH LIFT INSTALLED UP FRONT,

AND THE LEVELING KIT INSTALLED IN THE BACK.

I'M JUST WAITING ON THE WHEELS

SO I GET THIS WHOLE BUILD BUTTONED UP.

SO, NOW WE JUST NEED TO GET WHEELS AND TIRES.

MUSCLE -- HE'S GONNA BRING 'EM BACK.

SO, IN THE MEANTIME, I'M GONNA HELP SAM

WITH HIS MONOWHEEL SEA-MONSTER BUILD

THAT HE CONVINCED HEAVY D HE COULD DO

TO MAKE A VIRAL VIDEO FOR THE SHOP.

I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE KRAKEN.

THIS IS A MONOWHEEL.

YEAH, JUST PUT IN THE GPS. DIRECTIONS

OVER TO VRIENS TRUCK PARTS

SO WE CAN SEE IF THEY HAVE ANYTHING

500 TO 1,000cc.

THIS IDEA IS INSANE.

HOW DO YOU THINK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE BESIDES THIS ONE IDEA?

UM... THIS IS CONSUMING ME.

IT'S LIKE THE KRAKEN HAS COME UP OUT OF THE OCEAN

AND IS ENGULFING MY SHIP.

THIS IS A BONEYARD.

AWESOME.

HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY! WHAT'S GOING ON, JAM?

Jammie: HEY, GUYS, YOU'RE ALWAYS WORKING, MAN.

AH. HOW YOU DOING?

SEE YOU AGAIN. GOOD TO SEE YOU.

WHAT'S GOING ON? YOU LOOKING FOR ON THE HUNT?

YEAH, WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOME SMALL DIESEL ENGINES.

WE GOT SOME SMALLER STUFF

THAT'S IN BOXES AND WHATNOT, THAT'S OVER HERE.

OKAY. YOU'RE WELCOME TO LOOK AROUND.

SAM HAS A $10,000 BUDGET,

AND THE DIESEL ENGINE IS ONE OF THE MORE EXPENSIVE ITEMS,

SO WE NEED TO FIND A CHEAP ONE,

'CAUSE WE ALL KNOW THIS GUY RIGHT HERE

AND AIN'T GONNA FORK OUT ANY MORE MONEY FOR HIS BUILD.

YOU'RE RIGHT, I'M NOT, BECAUSE THIS IS FOR A VIRAL VIDEO.

BE REASONABLE HERE.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE GONNA PLAY "WHAT'S IN THE BOX"!

GREETINGS, AMERICA.

THIS IS "WHAT'S IN THE BOX"!

[ BELL DINGING ]

[ APPLAUSE ]

[ Sighing ] OH. HEY.

HEY, WHAT DO WE HAVE OVER HERE?

THESE ARE SOME OF THOSE APU UNITS THAT...

SO, ARE YOU TELLING ME, THERE MIGHT BE A MOTOR

IN THERE THAT WE COULD USE?

WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!

THERE IS ONE, BUT IT'S A RUST BUCKET.

[ BUZZER ]

RUSTED-OUT MOTOR?!

UNH-UNH. NEXT BOX.

WHAT ABOUT THAT BOX OVER THERE?

YEAH, WE CAN GO CHECK IT OUT.

WHAT ABOUT THAT BOX WITH THE WIRE STICKING OUT?

HEY, THERE'S SOMETHING IN HERE.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX?! WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!

OKAY, NEVER MIND. IT'S HYDRAULIC PUMPS.

[ BUZZER ]

EW! NO!

I SEE SOME MORE BOXES OVER THERE.

OH, HERE YOU GO.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX?

ALRIGHT!

YES, IT'S RIGHT UP THE ALLEY. OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR --

A 2-CYLINDER... OKAY.

SMALL, DIRECT-INJECTION DIESEL.

YEAH, IT'S PRETTY SMALL.

IT IS A MOTOR.

BUT IS IT THE RIGHT MOTOR?

WELL, THIS IS ACTUALLY AN APU AUXILIARY POWER UNIT

THAT GOES ON THE SIDE OF A SLEEPER CAB OF A SEMI.

THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE ABOUT THIS ONE IS

THAT IT'S IN HERE, AND THAT MEANS

THAT HE'S GONNA WANT A LOT MORE MONEY

FOR THIS UNIT AS A WHOLE.

THAT MOTOR IS CLOSE TO THE ONE SAM IS LOOKING FOR.

HEY, HERE'S ANOTHER ONE.

BUT BEFORE HE MAKES HIS DECISION,

THERE IS ONE MORE BOX LEFT TO OPEN.

WHAT COULD BE INSIDE?

AND IT'S ORANGE. ORANGE?

ORANGE -- THAT PROBABLY MEANS

IT'S, LIKE, A PERKINS OR SOMETHING.

YEAH.

OH, THERE'S GOOD AND BAD ABOUT THIS,

BECAUSE TYPICALLY AN ENGINE LIKE THIS IS ALREADY PULLED.

IT'S QUESTIONABLE,

LIKE, ESPECIALLY SITTING IN A PUDDLE OF WATER,

WHAT GOT CONDITION IT'S EVEN GONNA BE IN.

BUT THESE TWO CYLINDERS

ARE ALL ABOUT THE SAME HORSEPOWER OUTPUT --

25, 30 HORSE, AROUND 500cc.

SO THIS WOULD BE A PERFECT CONTENDER.

THIS IS IT, AMERICA.

SAM HAS TWO VERY GOOD OPTIONS.

BUT IF HE PICKS THE WRONG MOTOR,

HE COULD RISK PAYING TOO MUCH

FOR A PART HE ISN'T EVEN CERTAIN WORKS.

ALRIGHT, JAMMIE.

WHAT DID YOU GUYS FIND?

THERE WAS A CARRIER UNIT OUT THERE

WITH A 2-CYLINDER YANMAR.

ALREADY HAS -- IT'S A COMPLETE BOXED UNIT.

I KNOW WHICH ONE.

DOES IT WORK? ABSOLUTELY.

YOU SURE? CERTAINLY.

WHAT TYPE OF MONEY

ARE YOU LOOKING TO TRY TO GET OUT OF THAT ONE?

UH, FOR THE COMPLETE UNIT,

PROBABLY BE 1,200 BUCKS.

IT'S A BIT MORE THAN I WAS AIMING TO SPEND

RIGHT OFF THE BAT.

WOULD YOU DO 800 BUCKS FOR IT?

HOW ABOUT $1,000?

$1,000 FOR A USED YANMAR?

NOT A BAD DEAL.

BUT CAN HE DO BETTER?

NOW, I KNOW, NEXT TO IT WAS AN ORANGE --

I THINK IT WAS A PERKINS, JUST IN A BOX, SITTING ALONE.

WHAT WOULD YOU LET THAT ONE GO FOR, BY ITSELF, ENGINE ONLY?

I'D DO 1,000 BUCKS ON THAT ONE.

HOW ABOUT 800 BUCKS FOR JUST THE ENGINE BY ITSELF,

AND WE'LL GO GRAB IT?

$800 FOR THE PERKINS? HUNH.

WILL JAMMIE GO FOR THAT DEAL

OR DID SAM OPEN UP ALL THOSE RUSTY BOXES

AND RISK TETANUS FOR NOTHING?

YOU KNOW, I'D DO 800 BUCKS ON IT.

ALRIGHT. THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR.

APPRECIATE IT. YES! MY MAN.

SAM IS THE WINNER OF "WHAT'S IN THE BOX"!

$800 FOR THE PERKINS.

YES, HE STILL HAS TO PAY. IT'S NOT A VERY FUN GAME SHOW.

SEE YOU NEXT TIME.

I GOT SAM'S ENGINE ALL SQUARED AWAY.

NOW I'M JUST WAITING ON THE MUSCLE

TO BRING ME SOME NEW SHOES TO BUTTON UP THE GIVEAWAY BUILD.

HE'S GOT 90.

DID I JUST HEAR YOU START THAT?

[ ENGINE STARTS ]

YEE-HOO!

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!

MAN! THAT WAS GOOD NEWS.

I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS.

THAT BOLT PATTERN FOR THAT KODIAK

IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND.

NOW, I CAN FIND WHEELS. THE WHEELS?

I CAN FIND WHEELS,

BUT THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE HERE IN TIME.

THEY'RE NOT. THERE'S NO WAY.

Heavy D: HERE'S THE DEAL ABOUT MEDIUM DUTY CHEVY TRUCKS.

THEY ARE THE ONLY TRUCK IN THE WORLD THAT I KNOW OF

THAT HAS THE 8 ON 275-MILLIMETER BOLT PATTERN

FOR THE WHEELS,

WHICH MEANS WHEELS ARE HARD TO FIND.

IT'S NOT LIKE SOME OF THESE OTHER MANUFACTURERS,

WHERE ONE BOLT PATTERN FITS NUMEROUS DIFFERENT TRUCKS.

THIS BOLT PATTERN IS SPECIFIC TO THIS STYLE OF TRUCK.

AND THERE'S JUST NOT THAT MANY OF THESE TRUCKS ON THE ROAD,

WHICH MEANS THERE'S NOT THAT MANY ACCESSORIES

BEING BUILT FOR THEM.

WHAT'S UP, DUDE? WHAT'S GOING ON?

LET ME SEE THE TAPE REAL QUICK.

THESE AXLES -- WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THEM?

WE DON'T KNOW THAT MUCH, OTHER THAN 8 ON 275.

THAT'S THE ISSUE.

THIS IS NOT AN EASY BOLT PATTERN,

SO EVERYTHING HAS TO BE CUSTOM-MADE.

THERE'S EIGHT LUG NUTS, AND THEY'RE IN A CIRCLE PATTERN,

AND THE MEASUREMENT FROM ONE SIDE OF THAT CIRCLE

TO THE OTHER IS 275 MILLIMETERS.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK. COME HERE.

SO, BASICALLY, OUR OPTIONS RIGHT NOW ARE

EITHER HAVE SOME CUSTOM WHEELS MADE --

AND REMEMBER, WE'D HAVE TO GET SIX OF THEM,

AND THAT ADDS UP REALLY QUICK -- OR HEAD OUT TO THE BACK LOT

AND DO A LITTLE BIT OF BACKYARD SHOPPING.

IF WE CAN FIND A SET OF WHEELS BACK HERE, 20x10 BEADLOCK,

WE CAN THEN GET ADAPTERS MADE FOR THAT

OR EVEN MAKE ADAPTERS,

BOLT THE BEADLOCKS ON, BE RIGHT IN BUSINESS.

A WHEEL ADAPTER IS BASICALLY A PIECE OF METAL

THAT ALLOWS YOU TO TAKE A WHEEL

THAT WOULDN'T OTHERWISE FIT AN AXLE

AND BOLT IT UP.

NATHAN TUCKER.

HOLD ON, LET'S SEE IF THE HARD HAT

DOES WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO.

OW! MAN, MY EARS ARE RINGING.

LET'S TRY AGAIN. YOU GUYS, STOP IT!

[ LAUGHTER ]

STOP!

FOR EXAMPLE, A 10-BOLT-HOLE WHEEL

CAN NOW BOLT ON TO AN AXLE

THAT IS ONLY DESIGNED FOR AN 8-HOLE WHEEL,

BECAUSE BASICALLY THE PLATE BOLTS OF THE TRUCK,

YOU PUT ADDITIONAL HOLES AROUND THE OUTSIDE

THAT MATCH THE BOLT PATTERN OF THE WHEEL

THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO BOLT ON.

WHAM, BAM, THANK YOU, MA'AM, BOLTS RIGHT UP.

THIS IS A DUALLY WHEEL.

THERE'S 1...2... 3.

...3...4...5...6.

WE GOT 6.

WE'VE GOT ENOUGH TO DO DUALLYS.

-HERE'S PLAN C. -7.

-7. -YEAH.

THESE ARE OUR DUALLY WHEELS THAT HAVE LESS OFFSET.

-ARE THEY GONNA GO RIGHT ON? IS IT GONNA CLEAR CALIPERS?

-LOOKS LIKE YOU'LL GET ALONG. -OH, YEAH.

THAT'S MORE MANAGEABLE, AND THEY'RE REALLY --

-OH! -EASY!

THESE DUALLY WHEELS ARE GONNA WORK PERFECTLY,

BECAUSE THE ACTUAL SHAPE OF THE WHEEL

ALLOWS US TO SUCK THE TIRES UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK.

WE USE SOME ADAPTERS, WE BOLT THEM ON.

THEY HAVE THE BIGGER BOLT PATTERN,

WHICH IS 10 ON 285,

WHICH IS BASICALLY A STANDARD SEMITRUCK BOLT PATTERN.

BUT THAT'S GOOD BECAUSE BEING BIGGER ALLOWS US

TO BUILD AN ADAPTER TO ADAPT DOWN.

THAT PUTS THE GIVEAWAY BACK ON TRACK.

IT DOES. WHAT DO YOU SAY?

YOU'RE WELCOME. GET IT?

WHY DID YOU GO LOW?

I DON'T BRING HIPS IN.

THAT'S DIFFERENT. GOOD WORK, MAN.

ALRIGHT, SAM, YOU GOT A COMPUTER?

YEAH. WE'RE GOING TO THE FAB SHOP.

THAT'S ALL I KNOW SO FAR.

WHAT ARE YOU DRAGGING ME INTO? WHAT'S HAPPENING?

ALRIGHT, WELL, YOU KNOW

HEAVY D GAVE ME THE APPROVAL TO GO AHEAD

AND START ON THE KRAKEN BUILD.

THE OCTOPUS THING? OH, YEAH.

WE'RE BUILDING THAT? OH, YEAH.

WE'RE BUILDING, LIKE, THE FRAME AND THE STEERING LINKAGE

AND THE LINK ARMS? AND THE PIVOT.

ALL OF THAT, ALL IN ONE? ALL IN ONE.

EVERYTHING'S KIND OF ONE GIANT PIECE.

Sam: THE OUTRIGGER ARMS ARE WHAT MAKE THE KRAKEN UNIQUE

FROM OTHER MONOWHEELS.

THEY ARE THE PIèCE DE RéSISTANCE.

TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT OUR WHEEL ISSUE.

THIS IS NOT AN EASY BOLT PATTERN.

IT'S JUST LIKE REUSING THE OLD FLATBED

MEANT WE HAD TO CUT OFF THE HEADACHE RACK

AND CREATE A NEW ONE.

REUSING THE OLD WHEELS MEANS WE NEED TO FIND ADAPTERS.

THIS ADAPTER MARK IS MAKING FOR US

IS GOING TO CONVERT THE 8 ON 275 BOLT PATTERN OF THE CHEVY TRUCK

TO A 10 ON 285 TO MATCH THE WHEELS.

BUT THE STUDS ON THE WHEELS AND THE AXLE OVERLAP,

WHICH MEANS WE NEED MARK TO MAKE A 2-PIECE DESIGN

WITH COUNTERBORED HOLES

SO THAT WE CAN HIDE THEM IN BOTH DIRECTIONS,

SANDWICH EVERYTHING TOGETHER, AND MARRY THE RIM TO THE AXLE.

YEAH, 'CAUSE THAT SHOULD WORK REAL WELL.

AND IF WE MAKE THOSE RIBS OUT OF SOME THICKER MATERIAL,

THAT SHOULD HELP WITH THE CENTER OF GRAVITY

STAYING BELOW THE MIDWAY POINT DOWN.

WHEN YOU GUYS WERE DOING THE SOMERSAULT TRUCK,

YOU WANTED THE WHOLE THING TO ROTATE.

HERE, YOU WANT THE TUBE TO ROTATE,

BUT YOU DO NOT WANT THIS THING SPINNING.

SO IF YOU CAN ADD SOME WEIGHT WITH SOME BEEFY RIBS,

IT'S GONNA HELP YOU OUT.

LET'S MAKE SOME MEASUREMENTS, MAKE SURE THIS IS COMFORTABLE.

MORGAN, TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF.

TAKE YOUR FRICKIN' SHIRT OFF..

Ryan: ME TAKE MY SHIRT OFF? TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF RIGHT NOW.

MAN, I MEAN, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BIO-ESTHETICALLY PLEASING,

WAIT TILL YOU SEE THAT. LET'S SEE.

STILL GOT ME?

DID YOU JUST ATTACH YOUR MICROPHONE TO YOUR CHEST HAIR?

YEAH, DUDE, LOOK.

WHY IS YOUR BACK AND ARM HAIR GO THIS WAY?

WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE?

DIE HURRICANE KATRINA HIT YOUR BACK, BRO?

I GOT MY WINTER COAT ON.

OH, IT'S COLD! [ CHUCKLES ]

ALRIGHT, MAN, WELL, LET'S GET SOME MEASUREMENTS.

EVERY HUMAN, YOU KNOW,

ACTUALLY, THE NUMBER OF VERTEBRATE CAN VARY.

DO YOU KNOW THIS? IT'S TYPICALLY 33.

BUT IT CAN BE AS LOW AS 32, AS HIGH AS 35.

5 OF THEM ARE RIGHT HERE IN HIS LUMBAR.

THAT'S HIS LOWER BACK, WHERE WE WANT TO SUPPORT.

WE CAN FIT TWO OF THESE DOWN THERE.

SO, YOUR FIRST 6 INCHES,

MARK IT OFF FOR THE LUMBAR SUPPORTS.

IS IT REALLY ANY DIFFERENT WITH MY SHIRT OFF?

[ LAUGHS ]

THERE'S NO WAY WE COULD EVER SEE YOUR VERTEBRAE

WITH YOUR SHIRT ON. OH, OKAY.

NOW WE'RE IN THE THORACIC. YOU GOT 5 VERTEBRAE

IN, LIKE, THE RIB CAGE AREA HERE.

PERFECT.

AND AFTER THAT, I THINK, REALISTICALLY, FOR COMFORT,

HE'S GONNA WANT TO BE LEANED A LITTLE BIT MORE FORWARD.

SO, LET'S GO AHEAD

AND MARK THE NEXT 3 INCHES AS THE FIRST ONE.

SO, HERE'S THE THING -- IF YOUR STEERING MECHANISM

ACTUALLY WORKS -- AND I'M A LITTLE CAUTIOUS ABOUT IT --

HE'S GONNA HAVE TO BE LEANING IN THIS THING.

SO IMAGINE, AS THIS THING PITCHES,

IF YOU DON'T HAVE SUPPORTS OUT ON THE SIDE

WITH THIS RIB STRUCTURE WE'RE BUILDING,

THAT'S GONNA BE SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE.

JUST HAVE THAT ONE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR BACK.

THIS LETS THEM SORT OF LEAN INTO THOSE CURVES.

IF YOU'RE GONNA ADD WEIGHT TO IT, JUST MAKE SURE

THE RIBS YOU PUT ON THEM --

AND THE BEEFIER, THE BETTER -- IF YOU'RE GONNA ADD WEIGHT,

THAT'S THE PLACE TO PUT IT, IS RIGHT DOWN HERE.

NOT WHERE I SAW MY DAY GOING TODAY.

ME NEITHER.

CAN I PUT MY SHIRT BACK ON? NO, NOT YET.

Diesel Dave: COMING UP...

THE SPACERS ON THE KODIAK

MAKE THE WHEELS GO 'ROUND AND 'ROUND.

THIS IS WHERE IT COMES IN HANDY TO HAVE A MUSCLY FRIEND.

BUT THE KRAKEN IS A DIFFERENT STORY.

I'M REALLY CONCERNED

THAT IT COULD EITHER SYNCHRONIZE AND BOUNCE,

OR THEY COULD GET OUT OF SYNC AND CAUSE IT TO GO CRAZY.

♪

DIESEL DAVE'S GIVEAWAY TRUCK IS CRUISING RIGHT ALONG.

HOWEVER, SAM'S KRAKEN BUILD, WELL, IT'S STILL IN PIECES.

LUCKILY, WE GOT MY BROTHER OVER HERE,

AND HE HELPED US FIGURE OUT THE SPINE

AND THE SEATING ARRANGEMENT.

TAPER THAT BACK IN TOWARD THE SKELETON HERE.

SO NOW WE'VE GOT ALL THE ARMS, THE SPINE,

ALL THE PIECES OFF AND SANDBLASTED.

BUT NOW COMES THE MOST DAUNTING TASK.

SAM HAS GOT TO FIGURE OUT

HOW TO BUILD THE ACTUAL MONOWHEEL ITSELF.

YEAH!

ALRIGHT.

KRAKEN.

THIS READY TO START COMING TOGETHER?

YEAH, LET'S GO AHEAD AND TRY TO GET THIS PIECE UP

ON THE ENGINE HOIST AND LEVEL IT OUT.

THEN, WE CAN ATTACH THE ARMS.

[ GRUNTS ]

IT'S A LITTLE HEAVIER NOW WITH ALL THOSE BEAMS ON IT.

THESE ARE GONNA BE THE PIVOT POINTS,

SO THE SUSPENSION CAN ARTICULATE BACK AND FORTH

AND ALLOW THE KRAKEN TO TURN.

THESE A LOT BIGGER THAN I ORIGINALLY ENVISIONED.

WE GO BACK AND FORTH? WOW.

DUDE, THIS THING LOOKS RAD.

SO, NOW PUT THE FRONT HUBS ON.

THERE WE GO.

WHAT'S NEXT, MAN?

DO YOU WANT TO TAKE A STAB

AT GIVING ME A HAND WITH MAKING THOSE RINGS?

'CAUSE YOU'VE HAD A LOT BETTER LUCK

WITH RUNNING THAT TUBE BENDER THAN I HAVE.

YEAH, WE CAN GIVE IT A SHOT.

THE MAIN DRIVE WHEEL FOR SAM'S KRAKEN,

IT'S GOT TO BE PERFECTLY ROUND.

WHY? 'CAUSE IT'S GONNA BE DOING,

LIKE SAM SAYS, 30, 40 MILES AN HOUR.

IF THERE'S ANY IMPERFECTIONS,

AND IF THAT WHEEL'S OUT OF ROUND,

IT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC.

♪

OH, YEAH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO A LOT MORE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

THAT'S ONLY 'CAUSE I'M ONLY 150 POUNDS OF ASS.

THAT'S NOT A LOT OF TORQUE.

THE REASON WHY ROLLING THIS TUBE INTO A PERFECT CIRCLE IS SO HARD

IS BECAUSE OUR TUBE ROLLER ISN'T NECESSARILY MEANT

FOR PUTTING THINGS IN A PERFECT CIRCLE.

I'LL JUST MAKE SURE IT KEEPS FEEDING STRAIGHT.

Heavy D: THERE'S PIECES ON THE END

THAT THE MACHINE BASICALLY HAS TO USE

TO CLAMP AND TO BITE ONTO THE TUBE.

Ryan: YEAH, IT'S GETTING TIGHTER.

WELL, IT CAN'T ROLL THOSE.

SO WHAT IT DOES IS KEEP THOSE FLAT.

WHOO, SHE'S YIELDING NOW.

YOU CAN SEE THIS ONE REALLY YIELDING.

ALRIGHT.

YOU GOT TO PORTABAND ON IT.

YEAH, I'M GONNA GO GRAB THAT.

THE GUYS HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO ROLL JUST ENOUGH EXTRA,

AND THEN THEY HAVE TO CUT OFF THOSE FLAT SECTIONS.

WHEW. ALRIGHT.

AND THEN CLOSE THE CIRCLE OF THE WHEEL...

OH, YEAH. NO PROBLEM.

...AND HOPE THAT THAT MEASUREMENT'S RIGHT.

ALRIGHT, MORE Gs, MOMENT OF TRUTH.

SEE HOW STRAIGHT THAT WHEEL IS.

YOU READY FOR THIS?

SWEET! SWEET! YEAH.

MAN. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING OF?

I DON'T KNOW, MAN.

I'M REALLY CONCERNED

THAT THIS PART BEING OUT OF ROUND,

CAUSING A HOP, ONCE WE GET THAT ON BOTH WHEELS,

THEY COULD EITHER SYNCHRONIZE AND BOUNCE,

OR THEY COULD GET OUT OF SYNC AND CAUSE IT TO GO CRAZY.

I'M SORT OF TERRIFIED TO EVEN ASK THIS QUESTION,

BUT WHAT IS YOUR PLANNED TOP SPEED OF THIS THING?

ABOUT 45, 50. IT'S POTENTIAL.

ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT.

YOU DON'T WANT A WHEEL HOP AT 45, 50 MILES AN HOUR.

UNFORTUNATELY, I THINK I'M GONNA HAVE TO DIP INTO THE BUDGET

AND HAVE THESE OUTSOURCED, 'CAUSE THIS IS

JUST SUCH A CRITICAL COMPONENT

TO THE OVERALL RIDE AND FEEL OF THE VEHICLE.

ONE MILLIMETER OUT, AND YOU'LL FEEL IT.

HONESTLY, IT KIND OF SUCKS, BECAUSE WE'RE ON OUR WAY

TO GOING OVER THAT $10,000 BUDGET,

WHICH IS NOT GOOD,

BECAUSE WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THING'S GONNA WORK.

GO SEE WHAT WE CAN DIG UP.

WHOO, WHOO, WHOO!

IT'S BEEN A BIT OF A BUMPY RIDE WITH MY GIVEAWAY TRUCK,

BUT WE'RE FINALLY ON THE HOMESTRETCH,

AND I THINK KODIAK FANS ARE GONNA GO NUTS FOR THIS ONE!

CHROME HAS BEEN PAINT-MATCHED, AND SHE IS LOOKING BEAUTIFUL!

THERE'S JUST ONE LAST PIECE OF BUSINESS.

WE HAD A LITTLE PROBLEM WITH THE WHEELS.

SO WE GOT SIX DUALLY WHEELS

THAT WE'RE MOUNTING ON THE TIRES TODAY,

AND THEN SHOULD BE READY FOR THE GIVEAWAY.

GOING UP. OH.

DAMN IT. BUTTERFINGERS.

WE DON'T EVER WANT TO TAKE THESE OFF.

THIS IS A CHEMICAL THAT WE PUT ON THE BOLT

THAT ACTUALLY LOCKS THE THREAD IN PLACE.

HOW LONG DOES THIS EVEN SAY? DOES IT LAST?

I DON'T KNOW. LIFE?

VEHICLES THAT MOVE AND VIBRATE

SOMETIMES VIBRATE. NUTS AND BOLTS

RIGHT OFF OF THE ACTUAL VEHICLE.

SO, ONCE YOU PUT THIS ON,

MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE

BY KEEPING A NUT ON A BOLT.

AND BECAUSE WE MOST LIKELY

ARE NEVER GOING TO REMOVE THIS SPACER FROM THE HUB,

WE'RE DOING IT ONLY ON THE BACKSIDE,

BECAUSE ON THE FRONT, IF WE EVER GET A FLAT TIRE,

WE'RE GONNA WANT TO TAKE THOSE BOLTS OFF

TO TAKE THE TIRE OFF,

SO WE'RE NOT GONNA DO THAT ON THE FRONT.

YOU REALLY CRUSHED THAT. I DID CRUSH IT, DIDN'T I?

THIS IS WHEN IT COMES IN HANDY TO HAVE A MUSCLY FRIEND.

♪

CRUSHED IT. LAST THING, PUT ON THE SPIKES,

SPACERS ARE ON, WHEELS AND TIRES ARE ON.

THE GIVEAWAY TRUCK IS DONE.

NEXT STEP, GIVE IT AWAY.

THAT LOOKS PERFECT.

I DON'T THINK WE COULD'VE GONE WITH A BETTER WHEEL-TIRE COMBO.
