I really like that Andrew's first order of business was the comfortable transport of his building supervisor.

“Pull it more violently” may be your best quote ever! Sounds like you should put that on a t-shirt.

Wow, that turned into a cluster real fast. Reminded me of some of the construction sites I've been on when everything just turns to sh*t and you spend all day trying to undo something, and at the end of the day you're right where you started but with a muddy mess. You got subscription! Keep it up. Love the truck.

I started watching when Andrew said he got himself a new truck. I stepped away a bit for some calls. I return to see him "re-engineering" the new truck's hitch. I love it!

“This truck doesn’t need any work.” Immediately starts unbolting shit
-
Now, THAT was a great video! Some "re-engineering", some excavator work, some off roading, some white knuckle excitement on the mountain trail! Thanks again for taking us along for the ride. 👍

Long ago when I was driving an M35A2 with attached communication trailer, we were instructed to NEVER back up using the military pendlehook system, that it was not engineered to deal with that (we also did not have any sort of cap over the hook part) so we always determined clearances so we could drive forward and make u-turns. Looks like you did a good job of modifying the rear end to accommodate the necessary turn radius and airhose placement. I applaud!

Felt like I was watching real life snow runner in the last bit with the army truck and shipping container. Great video!

You should make a custom dog bed/pad in the middle for Cody! That way he’s comfy and can curl up on those long rides
-
Just an innocent title. “Buying a military cargo truck” Who would have guessed it was going to be an epic “ man & machine(s) vs THE WORLD thanks for sharing
-
You picked a good day for this project rain, mud perfect!
-
Nobody's talking about how clean that truck is. I cannot believe how clean of a unit you got. Good for you man enjoy it
-
“Let’s try the hill”. Terrible ideas make the best memories.
-
This is possibly the most insane video on YouTube... the recklessness, the ambition, the commitment to seeing it through to the end. I loved it.
-
Dude, you are AWESOME!!!! You have every machine and device known to mankind AND you know how to use/operate them. Props from Albany, NY!!!!
-
first one of your videos i have seen i was amazed at how you saw the problems and corrected them . great skills you have
-
Have the injector cups done as soon as possible. You'll end up with fuel in your coolant and oil. You'll have to replace all the coolant lines due to the diesel ballooning them and if too much gets into the oil You'll be washing out your cylinder liners and all the bearings.

I gotta admit, moving that hitch plate back and relocating those glad hands were really good ideas! 👍🇺🇲
-
