Maybe a little bit less throttle?

Whoa! Chuck norris jr.!

Did you just capoeira into my office?

Yeah, I did. [ laughing ] capoeira.

Do it again. Yeah. Okay. That's pretty good.

Oh, that's not bad. Pretty good.

That's pretty good. Not enough room in here

for that. They call that the top rock.

Oh, I'm impressed. That's how you start.

Hey, good news. What?

There's a guy out there looking at your old

black dodge ram that you built.

Ah, the best one.

Are you talking about the old

legion giveaway truck that didn't get picked?

Yeah, the second placer --

the one that he built that no one wanted.

One year and many giveaways ago...

...Heavy d pitted me against the muscle,

building the exact same truck in opposite colors.

I'm handing these builds over to you gentlemen.

You get to build chaos. -Yeah!

-And you get to build rage. -Yes!

But besides my superior building ability,

the winner chose his truck.

Probably because it hides the scratches better.

Diesel dave, I love you...

But I'm going with that one.

[ shouting, cheering ]

holy smokes!

Diesel dave: Which left chaos alone, afraid,

unused, sitting in the back lot.

No one enjoying the 6.7 cummins...

Until now.

-Hold on, wait, wait, wait. -What?

Before you go out there,

can we just scope him out for a second.

Look, he's right there. Looks amazing!

Oh, look, he's still looking!

What do you think? Tires bigger?

-Yeah! -He's a big man.

That's why he needs the mega cab!

Dude, guys like that, he knows what he's looking for.

He's not a tire-kicker. He did just actually

physically kick the tire but -- -so is his kid.

Dude, we got to be on our a-game.

-What's up man? -What's going on, fellas?

How you doing, man? Good.

Just looking at this truck. I'm randy, by the way.

Nice to meet you. -What's up, man.

How you doing? -Nice to meet you.

This is my son, rome. -Rome!

-Rome. -Good to meet you!

-What's up, rome? How you doing, bud?

So you from out here, then?

No, actually we're originally from tennessee.

We're just out here visiting right now.

Oh, you're just passing through?

Yeah, we wanted to come check out your shop

and check out your trucks, man. -Nice.

What do you do? Actually, I just retired.

Ex-professional baseball player.

You don't look like a guy who just retired.

Yeah, I know, I look pretty good for my age, don't I?

Wait, did you say ballplayer?

I'm a ex-mpv baseball player.

I played for 21 professional seasons --

11 here in the states and 10 over there in japan.

So, what do you think of the truck, man?

I love this truck but, for me,

I need to make it mine.

So, now that you're retired,

you're looking to kind of start enjoying life a little bit?

-Yeah. -Yeah, this is one of my things

I want to do, is build me a nice, big, badass truck.

Here's the deal -- the truck already has some features, right?

It's probably got 15, 20 grand of upgrades.

You're talking different suspension -- a little bigger?

Yeah, a little taller -- 10-12 maybe?

Tire size?

-40. -40s?

24, 18s probably. Okay.

I want to change the color. What color are you thinking?

Yeah, it's more like a dark candy green.

Oh, you want a full repaint? Full paint, yeah.

What about bumpers and stuff like that?

The fusion ones that are the big steel metal ones,

flush to the body, yeah. Okay.

This truck, we were asking like $75,000 for it, as-is.

[ sighs heavily ] what's the final breakdown

to make it all happen?

Full repaint's a big deal. Alright.

Any time you do a candy or a deep metallic paint job,

you run a lot of risks.

It's a hard paint job to do

because you literally have to lay down the paint

and the metallic flakes and everything in the perfect order,

and it has to be sprayed perfectly,

otherwise you're gonna see imperfections.

There's just a lot that can go wrong.

You'd probably be almost another 75 grand

on top of the price of the truck.

Hey, man, can you see yourself driving this truck?

-Yeah. -Now imagine it

when it's six inches taller, bigger tires,

and looks candy apple green!

-Oh, yeah! -Can you see that?

-Yeah. -Shake the man's hand.

-He's in. -Shake on it.

-Up top! -He's got a good handshake.

Yeah!

This ram isn't gonna be the most complicated build

we've ever done, but it's got to be done right,

and randy's got to like it.

To transform our old ram 3500 giveaway build

into randy's dream truck,

we'll start by beefing up the stance.

We'll remove the old suspension

to make way for a massive 10-12-inch lift,

then we'll throw on big 40-inch tires sitting on 24 inch wheels.

The highlight of this build is gonna be the custom

candy green paint job. Finally, we'll add new

fusion bumpers in the front and rear and a few other details

that'll make his truck a true head-turner wherever it goes.

That guy has a very specific vision

for what he wants out of this truck,

and if we don't get it right,

he's just flat-out not gonna accept the truck.

He's gonna send it back, and we're gonna have to keep on working on it,

which is gonna cut into profits,

which, honestly, we need some profit right now.

♪

[ exhaling deeply ] ahh... You smell that, sam?

Yeah, it smells like sulfur.

It smells like adventure. Adventure?

The adventure of scavenging!

I would like to introduce you to the kraken.

Heavy d: Last week, sam came to me with an idea

to build this nautical-themed, monster, strange,

diesel-powered monowheel.

If this works, we can use it

to create all sorts of buzz on social media.

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.

Monowheels aren't that uncommon.

The difference is -- sam wants to set this monowheel apart

by adding out rigger arms,

which basically look like giant sea-creature tentacles,

but they're also gonna serve as basically stability bars

so that this monowheel can lean and turn

and actually be drivable.

Tenacle, man! Tentacle.

He sourced a two-cylinder, 500 cc diesel engine.

This would be a prefect contender.

We tracked down some suction cups and figured out

where to place them with the help of my brother.

Now we're in the thoracic. You got five vertebra

in the ribcage area here.

We're gonna be able to fit probably four of these,

so every three inches, go ahead and mark them.

We were able to start building a giant monowheel,

but when our tube ruler wasn't precise enough

to make the wheels we needed,

sam was forced to outsource.

That's like 20%

of the overall budget that sam has.

So, not gonna lie, now that we've had

to spend that money, I'm a little more skeptical.

We have a mission --

a mission to build a kraken!

Same is known for using scrap parts

in unique ways in his designs.

What did you build the majority of this from?

Everything including the kitchen sink.

All of it.

These rims are actually off of a toyota camry.

Intercooler came off of a suzuki swift.

Suzuki swift. But this is actually

the p-trap out of the bottom of a sink.

-Come on! -Is it really?

Yeah. No!

Well, he's gonna try and find some components

for his key feature of his build --

hydraulic steering --

in heavy d's treasure pile,

and maybe a few extras.

This treasure chest back here is exactly where

we're gonna find them. Oh, yeah.

Orbital valve, power steering pump,

trailer hubs, turbos, intercoolers.

I'mma be honest, sam,

I've never scouted for an orbital valve before,

and I don't know if I'd know one if it punched me in the face.

Heavy d: An orbital valve is part of a hydraulic steering system.

However, it's not something that comes on production vehicles.

So, the odds of us having taken one off

and putting it out back somewhere

and having it just kicking around -- well, not likely.

Is that an orbital valve?

Uh... That looks like a muffler.

Yeah, it does look like a muffler

which it's small, which I do like.

That might actually be usable in the final assembly.

[ bell dings ]

[ blows raspberry ]

-alright. -It's the sound of the kraken.

Alright, I'm sure I'm gonna find an orbital valve in here.

[ chuckles ]

orbital valves?

No.

We got us some hydraulic hose.

This'll be useful. [ bell dings ]

[ as pirate ] the kraken's pinchers!

[ chk'ing ]

I like where you're going with that,

but those things weigh like 50 pounds apiece.

I think they're gonna be a little too chunky

for being able to use on the kraken.

Alright... But I did happen to find these,

and there we got intercoolers

and one I can double as a radiator.

[ bell dings ]

-oh, see what we have in here. -Ah, here we go.

Here's the orbital valve you were talking about.

Uh, that's a water pump.

Oh, wait, here you go!

You got brakes on this bad boy?

Hey, there you go.

Yeah, that's a hydraulic and mechanical,

so we'll be able to run

either a brake pedal or a hand brake lever

directly into the hydraulic line.

[ bell dings ]

Nah, that's heavy d's.

have already been robbed off of here, so that's not a good sign.

Hopefully, they haven't messed with the engine components.

Yes, it is here! Right here.

Hey. Nailed it.

so, here's the power steering fluid --

there's the orbital valve... Yep.

...That goes to the power steering pump!

Yeah, the power steering pump's in here.

[ bell dings ]

hey, man, we just saved some more money.

-Alright. -Success!

Hold on, I don't know if it's success.

I mean, he found the part,

but getting it added to the kraken

and making a monowheel steer with tentacle outrigger arms,

when that happens, then we can go, "success!"

step one, success!

Your life must be really great.

[ chuckling ] it is good.

Diesel dave: Coming up...

Oh, yep, there's an engine right in my crotch.

...Sam assembles the steering system for the kraken!

That doesn't seem right. [ echoing slowly ]

and the 3500 gets a boost.

Did it!

And that's how it's done, america.

No, that's not how it's done. Oh.

[ chuckles ] that's just how we did it.

Alright, ready to roll.

[ lifter whirring ] nice!

-It's settling. -Okay.

We've just been commissioned to transform

one of our old giveaway trucks, a 2018 ram 3500,

into a beast from former baseball player randy messenger.

Different suspension -- a little bigger?

A little taller. It's probably got

15, 20 grand of upgrades.

This ram 3500 is already a big truck,

but randy wants it even bigger!

So aaron and I are installing a 10-12-inch lift

with bigger leaf springs

so we don't lose ride quality.

[ metal clattering ] whoa!

Alright, so we're going to a bigger lift kit, huh?

Yeah, I mean, just think about it --

bigger is better, right?

Let's get this big thing out of here.

We just got to tap these bolts out,

if we can get up in there.

♪

okay, that's out. Here we go.

-Watch it, muscles. -Put it down!

Diesel dave: See that? 10-12-inch lift.

Tons of height difference.

This comparison here isn't gonna say this is exactly

how it's gonna sit with the weight of the truck.

-Almost 17 -- 16 3/4? -Yeah.

And then the pre-arch in these ones is what?

Oh, my goodness. 21 -- so, 21 1/2...

I'm far away. ...16 3/4.

We're dealing with like 4 3/4 difference.

With no weight on it? No weight on it.

This pack here should actually allow for a lot more movement

as far as it being able to lay out flat

whenever suspension's compressed

and still come back and take its shape.

More cushioning. More cushioning, I guess.

It's gonna hold more weight, it's gonna hold it up higher,

but it's more of a progressive spring pack.

Stiffer ride,

more cushion for the pushing on the rear end, yeah?

Cushion for the pulling?

We're reusing the shackles from the old leaf springs

on the new lift.

Just a little bit forward, just...

And once we get those on,

these new leafs should fit right in.

-Nice! -No.

-You have a bolt ready? -Yes, sir.

Ready?

There you go.

No, it's just kind of stuck.

It go? Just a little bit.

Nope.

It's the stupid brackets hole.

[metal clatters] it fell.

It's not gonna go.

It won't go because the bracket's like this,

so it's just trying to take something square

and drop it into a trapezoid. It just won't physically go

while it's attached to the leaf spring.

Both of them are mangled.

See, america, what happened is the bracket got bent

when they were taking off the old suspension parts --

a.K.A., us.

♪

me and aaron, we must've bent the bracket

and now the new leaf spring doesn't want to go on very well.

We just might have to persuade the bracket back

into it's right position.

This is why working on trucks that've already been worked on

or modified before is such a huge risk.

Come on man, we're almost done! It's looking great!

The bolt hole's up here and the tab is bent right here out,

open up the bottom of these,

the leaf will just freely slide in there.

This is a port-a-power.

It's portable power.

A little more.

Keep going.

I know it seems counter-intuitive

that we're pushing it out in a way that it's bent

but we need the base open.

Cool.

[ exhales sharply ] that'll do it.

So close. It's almost there.

Come on.

♪

alright, we're in.

Got it?

We did it!

And that's how it's done, america.

No, that's not how it's done.

Oh.

[ chuckles ] that's just how we did it.

That's how we did it, america.

That's how we did it, america.

Alright, well, we got the leaf springs on.

Let's get them u-bolts. Them u-bolts on?

There it is.

Not gonna work? Why?

No, because once we get this sucked up,

there's no more thread left.

We need shorter u-bolts. Yeah, once we suck up this --

we have a bigger lift kit and we need shorter u-bolts?

Yeah, 'cause we're on less lift blocks, more leaf spring.

Ohhh...

Can't catch a break man. No.

Okay, maybe I spoke too soon.

Heavy d: Sam's been working really hard on the kraken build.

He's got the two-cylinder diesel engine installed.

He's also got the suction cup seating arrangement

all dialed in.

What if we added some cool rib-like structures

coming out on the side to make it look like the ribcage?

He's taking some roller skate wheels

and attaching them to the end of the outrigger arms

so that he's got somewhere to mount

the wheels that he's getting outsourced.

The outrigger arms on the kraken

are what sets this monowheel apart

from any other monowheel out there,

so if they don't work, well, the whole build doesn't work

because then it doesn't steer and it doesn't go

and it's just a total waste of time and money.

Do you know what's happening here?

I have no idea, and anybody who walks in on this...

Is questioning what we do in this shop altogether.

Is there seats, or are we just doing suction cup?

Oh, yep, there's an engine right in my crotch.

That doesn't seem right. [ echoing slowly ]

[ phews ] that's a whole lot of rotating hotness

a lot closer to the old boys there than I expected.

Well, forget about crashing.

The real danger's coming from between your legs.

-Tell us what to do. -Tell us what you need.

Next step is installing the tie rods

and the hydraulic rams

and then the power steering pump and orbital valve,

plumb it all together,

and I'll probably go and throw the fuel tanks on

so we can test fire it and be able to walk it

back and forth sitting right here.

-Alright, I like that idea. -Let's do tie rods.

Alright, so hydraulics mount to the frame.

Lift her up. There you go.

Pound it in.

What's happening here?

You just got to take your skirt off and hit it.

Could use this.

Heavy d: These hydraulic rams that we're using on the kraken

are the exact same type of rams that we use

on a power steering system or on the somersault truck

to make it flip, rear steer.

Basically, hydraulic fluid

builds up in one end of the ram and extends it,

or it can build up on the other end

and basically collapse it.

So, the way it's going to work on the kraken

and where it's way different from any other vehicle,

is these rams are pushing down like a 45-degree angle

on these outrigger arms.

The outrigger arms have a pivot point,

so it's gonna basically push out and down at the same time

which is going to lean the monowheel one way

or the other and in theory, steer.

-Tie rods are done. -Tie rods, the rams are in.

So, the next steps --

we need steering valve and hydraulic pump.

I'll go ahead and start hooking up the pump

if you guys want to hook up this in here.

Just pull those out. These valves face down

so that all the hoses will fit in here.

An orbital valve is basically a valve

that spins when it's connected to a steering wheel.

Pry this part with your muscles.

Keep going, there you go, there you go.

Nice job.

I thought those were just for looks.

Heavy d: Orbital valves weren't necessarily designed

for kraken outrigger arms.

The concept is the same, so it should work the same in theory.

Bring this one up and it will attach to this one right here.

There we go. So yeah, as you can see,

once we have this tightened down

and running off the belt system...

...It will supply hydraulic pressure

through this hose up into here.

Yeah. This one's labeled "tank,"

so we'll put this one from here to here to the reservoir.

Yeah.

...And then the other two lines will run out under the frame

and out to these rams.

So, as we give input, steering left and right like that,

it will send hydraulic pressure

to the left or right hose,

cause the rams to go in and out.

I'm gonna try to bump it around a couple times

to get the pump to prime the fluid.

It may just jump and start.

I'm not 100% sure.

This is when I get nervous, when he says things like that.

[ engine starts ]

wow. Right up like that.

It's alive. [ engine firing ]

-oh. -Oh!

-Whoa! -Whoa!

-Look at that! -We got movement, baby!

Sam the mad scientist.

I'm starting to think that sam was right.

This kraken could be a total social media gold mine.

And I never follow it.

Diesel dave: Coming up...

The kraken's maiden voyage is almost as bumpy

as the muscle's coat of candy green paint

on randy's 3500.

No, bad, bad, bad, bad! No! Stop!

No, no, do not spray up and down!

What is wrong with you?!

Diesel dave: For former major league baseball star

randy messenger's ram 3500,

aaron and I were putting on the brand new lift,

and we ran into a little problem

called short u-bolt. Not gonna work?

This machine right here, it bends the u-bolts.

Turn the machine on...

Diesel dave: So we went to siegel truck and repair,

had them fab up some u-bolts,

which made it fit like a glove.

Survey says...

Like a glove!

Aaron: Perfecto.

Now, it's time to put the icing on the cake

with candy green paint.

Yeah, I believe I want to change the color.

What color are you thinking?

Yeah, it's more like a dark candy green.

This paint is not easy to apply, and it's expensive,

so I'm not taking any chances.

Muscle and I are headed over to check in with damon

to what kind of options we have for randy.

This is everything we need to kind of complete

the candy paint job. In this situation,

I'm gonna show two separate kinds of candy --

one dark, one light.

Wait, what's the difference between candy paint

and normal paint? So, this is normal black.

It's just one step, where candy is actually a literal dye

that you put into a clingier base, so that's why it's so --

it's literally water. It relies on the metallic

to show through when it hits the sun,

and that's how you get the cool color edges --

-metallic first, candy second. -Exactly.

Diesel dave: Now, with all the layers we need to apply for this paint,

it's very important that we do it evenly

because the thicker the paint, the darker the color.

If we don't apply it evenly,

it's gonna be streaky or splotchy,

but if we do it right, it's gonna sparkle and shine.

Muscles: [ muffled ] we should do a music video like this.

-[ beatboxing ] -are you doing a music video?

[ beatboxing continues ]

damon: I always like to start with a sealer 'cause it gives you

a brand-new base to start off of.

-Smooth. -Smooth.

-Smooth is [indistinct]. -Very consistent.

So, step two is gonna be our silver base.

Now that you put your silver on there, tap it off,

and then we'll come through and we'll paint it black.

Black paint!

Good work!

And then I'll put a top coat over the black

that makes the black sparkly,

then it'll make the black shiny, and then when you put it out

in the sun, you'll see the difference

in between the silver and the black.

No, bad, bad, bad, bad! No! Stop!

No, no, do not spray up and down!

What is wrong with you?! It is designed

to go left and right, not up and down.

What is wrong with you?! So, now it'll be funny --

did you pay attention in any of the class yet?!

He went heavy.

This is obviously the last step.

Clear coat! Clear coat.

This makes it all shiny.

and once we get them assembled and installed,

then it'll be time to take it for a test drive

and figure out whether or not this outrigger, tentacle,

hydraulic steering system actually works.

We have more to do just for this last side over here

and we're ready to roll.

There's a spray adhesive --

super 77 spray adhesive -- underneath,

holding the rubber tire to the actual steel ring.

These are actually bicycle tires

that I've cut down and stripped over the outside.

And, you know, bicycle tires have those beads of steel

going all the way through them so they can't stretch

and pop off the rim. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And that actual steel lip

keeps these from ever being able to rip off.

They're actually quite strong.

That is very tight. So what'd you use?

Like, two tires?

Two tires for this one and three for the main ring.

That's a great idea.

So, there's obviously no air in these.

These are solid steel. Solid steel

but these are actually a special type of

kind of an all-terrain tire that has extra-thick padding.

So not only is it the just the rubber surface.

But if you look at the cross section,

there's actually quite a bit of soft rubber

that'll absorb impact. Interesting.

So, it gives traction

and a little bit of cushion to the ride.

It's not nearly as rough

as rolling on just the bare steel wheels.

Yeah, that makes sense.

So bedliner on here obviously?

Yep, the bedliner, that just gives it

a nice, tough finish that's very durable.

You're a damn wizard, sam. [ chuckles ] I appreciate it.

It was impossible to steer. It was bumpy.

If sam can't work through all of these problems

and get this thing driving way better than this,

I might revoke his wizard status.

-Yeah, that -- -did you see that?

Yeah, I saw the front wheels skipping off the ground.

Just pushing. And it's just plowing through.

I think we're definitely gonna have to add some counterbalance

to the front to help weigh it down.

And that'll help the wheels dig in and turn tighter.

'cause I noticed when you were driving it,

every time you gassed it,

the outermost tire would skip off the ground.

And if it's not getting traction, then it's not turning.

You want to stack some weights in here or something?

Well, the advantage -- this tube is hollow.

What we could do is if we have some of those ballast beads

left over from the wake boat,

I might be able to drill a hole and stick a funnel in here

and then fill them up with ballast beads

to weigh the wheel rings down.

So that way, aesthetically it looks the same,

but we should be able to add at least 50 pounds per side

to help bring the nose way down. It needs at least that

because it's just not...

It's just pushing. Yeah.

But it ran! It rolled. It did run.

That's a good sign. That is a great sign.

Heavy d: I mean, there's no handbook.

There's no manual for how to build a kraken.

Sam was just winging it, and obviously there's gonna be

some stuff we have to work through.

Oh, let me pull these off.

♪

bingo.

And I'm gonna grab

something like a small,

little stick to plunge them in there with.

Oh, boy.

Oh, this is gonna suck

I thought it was gonna be way more fun.

Stupid.

Alright, here we go.

These a lead weights are ideal

because the density of these little pellets

is pretty high.

And the only downside is, I guess because they're used

as ballast bags, they put oil on them,

and it makes them all stick together,

so they don't flow like they could

if they were actually just...

This is gonna take us a day and a half, sam.

Look at you. You're just stirring it.

It's not even going anywhere.

Somebody get a shot of this.

Well, the only problem is if we go any larger with the hole,

then that's just a big weak point in the wheel.

[ chuckles ]

chris, we need a vacuum!

Go. Hurry. Keep going.

Keep going, sam. Keep going.

Somebody get this in slo-mo. Make it rain.

Somebody get this in slo-mo. Make it -- make it --

make it rain. Somebody get this in slo-mo.

[ electronic dance music playing ]

[ chuckles ]

[ echoing ] the glory of steel

upon my skin.

[ laughing ]

alright, let's put the screws back in.

Wait.

Hmm?

Perfect. [ blows ] done.

Heavy d: Now that we've got this ram

painted in the perfect shade of candy green,

damon got it all buffed down.

With that last step finished,

it's time to get this build just polished up, looking good,

and then diesel dave and the muscle

got to be able to sell it to randy.

Come on randy, man. I can't wait to show you this truck.

I'm really actually excited about this reveal,

even though he's not here in person.

Diesel dave: The muscle and I have a very difficult job

showing randy all the customizations

we did to his truck

while he's been at home in tennessee,

and I really hope he doesn't ask for any more changes,

because that means more work,

which means less profit

and less cheese for you and me.

Hey, yo, randy! What's up?!

Yo, what up, diesel dave?

The truck's done!

Hell yeah. That's what I'm talking about.

I'm really hoping that your magic translates over wi-fi.

Diesel dave: This is the moment

we've all been waiting for. [ chuckling ] ooh!

The glistening randy-green paint job!

Can you se? You good?

Oh, yeah. Look at that!

Flawless! Is that muscle in there?

Let's run up there, randy! Yeah, let's go, run up!

[ shouting indistinctly ] alright, let's go.

-[ laughing ] -what up, bro?!

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo. Whoo!

You see it good? Yeah!

Hell yeah. Perfect. -Oh, yeah, that's nice.

What do you think? -Dude, that thing is amazing.

I can't believe that's the same truck!

That's a black and a green truck.

It's only green when it's sunny like this.

Dude, the candy shop is right in front of me

and I can't even taste it.

♪

the muscle: This ram 3500 was already giveaway-ready,

but we turned it into an absolute beast for randy.

We boosted the suspension with a 12-inch lift,

then added some 40-inch tires on 24-inch wheels.

We added fusion bumpers to the front and rear

and topped it all off with one of the sickest paint jobs

we've ever done in a metallic candy green.

I love how this truck turned out.

Alright, randy. That's the truck.

What do you think?

I want to see how it drives.

I want to hear how it sounds, fellas.

Let's go for a test drive.

♪

this is where it gets real dangerous, bro.

That's why you got your seat belt on, though.

You're safe. See? Feel it?

Thank you.

Randy, this is a really good test

to see how smooth this truck rides because --

-you vibrating? -Yeah, you'd be all over

the place if this thing was bouncing us all over.

Super smooth -- there's hardly any bounce at all, dude.

♪

[ laughs ]

-wheel him back... -Let me look, let me look.

...And perfect! -Ooh, that's nice.

What's it gonna cost me to get this thing done?

We're gonna give you the good friend discount --

$150,000.

Well, let's get it done.

-Yes! -Yes!

Ah, we got to shake on it. We got to shake --

we're shaking your fake hand. Good doing business with you.

But it's a deal. Let me -

I don't want to break his arm.

Yes! And just like that,

my old giveaway truck sold

for twice as much as we bought it for originally.

Heavy d: You're forgetting about shipping.

I went and picked it up.

No, we have to ship it. We got to cover that.

Oh.

Diesel dave: Coming up...

[ echoing deep laughter ]

release the kraken! Release the kraken!

Release the kraken.

-Kraken!

Diesel dave: ...We find out if sam's wheel fix works...

...Or if it has terrifying results.

-Hey, you know what? -What?

This is a good day to do the jump challenge.

The jump challenge? Yeah, I mean, you seen

that thing online where people are jumping over each other?

The muscle's about to jump me,

and then you need to find a bro to jump.

Ready? [ breathing heavily ]

one... Move, I'm ready!

...Two... Jump me!

Go time!

[ shouting in slo-mo ]

[ cheering ] you did it!

Let get out of here! You did iiiiit!

♪

heavy d: Sam just wrapped up putting all the finishing touches

on this wild build.

He got the frame and the metal components powder-coated

this deep sea-green color,

he got the radiator and the inter-cooler installed,

and he found that the perfect cherry-on-top

of this nautical build

with that ship helm for the steering wheel.

This entire build is something from sam's dreams

and pretty much everybody else's nightmares.

The kraken is looking awesome. I just hope

that it drives better than it did the first time

because if not, it still might make a viral video,

but it might go viral for all the wrong reasons,

and we'll have wasted a ton of time and money.

Camera speed and action.

[ echoing deep laughter ]

the mad scientist has done it!

He has created the ultimate mechanical monster.

Sam, are you ready to see your creation

come to life?! Absolutely.

Release the dragon!

No, there's no dragon.

There's no dragon. It's...

It's like something out of "star wars."

The kraken!

-Wah! -Whoa!

Dude, this is so awesome. [ engine stops ]

nice work, dude. Hey. Appreciate it.

You're way smarter than you look,

you know that right? [ chuckling ] thank you.

That is exciting. [ chuckling ]

mostly because I don't know if I'm gonna lose

a finger hitting the throttle,

or whether the suction cups are actually gonna start

pulling the skin off my back. [ laughter ]

that's just exciting.

Alright, america, let me walk you through the kraken.

The heart of the kraken is a two-cylinder

500 cc perkins diesel engine

with a 21-millimeter turbo.

From there, the engine drives into a cvt transmission,

which basically is a belt-drive transmission,

similar to what you'd find on a lawnmower or a razor or utv.

As you give it gas, this clutch engages that belt,

which then engages these roller wheels,

which then drives this big hoop,

which brings me to my big hoop.

This right here is a steel tube that was bent

into a perfect circle, right,

covered in bedliner.

And then had a tire tread,

basically glued and screwed to the top of it.

So, that's our main drive wheel.

Then we have our steering wheels -- front and rear.

Same thing.

Perfectly symmetrical hoops, just smaller size.

We fabbed up some outrigger arms to look like tentacles

and they steer at a 45-degree angle.

We also took some suction cups

and added them to the spine with a seating area.

And we gave it a deep sea-green outer coat job.

Arguably, my favorite part of this whole build

is the ship's helm steering wheel.

This right here, goes along with the nautical theme of

the kraken.

Now the kraken is on land,

and it's here for the whole world to see

just how creative we really are.

And we built it for less than...

10k.

This is worth $10,000

just being able to shoot this video alone.

Guess what we did.

We got your attention.

You're not supposed to tell them all our secrets.

The video of the kraken got well over a million views,

which in turn brought a ton more people to our website,

which upped our traffic and our sales.

The kraken was money very well spent.

Does that mean you're gonna let sam keep building

these crazy contraptions?

I mean, honestly at this point, it'd be crazy to say no

because of how well that performed.

However, I do have some crazy ideas of my own

that I'd like to tackle first.

Stay tuned, america.

[ trumpet playing "first call" ]

this is one of my greatest purchases, yet.

A tank?

We're gonna have to find an entire engine.

This is real bad.

I'm not telling heavy d. You got to tell him.

Guess what, america?

You got a 220 f-350!

Did you just say "220" like an old man?

[ cheering ]

I got to have it.
