01x20 - Rock Crawler

[bunniefuu]

Minrolls are what make up rocks,

eating his rocks are one time.

Silicon and oxygen.

Those two chemicals make up

three-fourths of years' crust.

OK, Monster Hands.

They're rockin' the garages.

Heart is a can.

We're gonna rock, Doctor.

That's magma, cooled in years.

And a rockin' band.

Just the end of boys are gettin' down.

You got an ankle ball in perixine.

Courts, granite, sandstone.

Silica, shale.

So put your tent into your zone.

It's Monster Garage on the Rock.

Join us now as Jesse and his

g*ng of fabric mechanics,

Rip, grind, and burn.

Transforming ordinary street

vehicles into monster machines

in the Monster Garage.

The challenge.

Take a 1968 Ford Bronco and

turn it into a 1968 Ford Bronco.

That can crawl straight up a wall.

The rules.

When built, the Monster Machine

must appear to be stock.

The team can spend no

more than 3,000 bucks

in hard cash for parts.

Jesse and his crew

have seven days in ice.

On the first day, they design.

On the next five, they build.

On the seventh day, they race.

If successful, each team member

takes home a $3,400 set of

$2,400.

This is the Matti dreams!

On 1968, moves a lot

slower 25 years later.

The vehicle quals into the garage,

followed by the design teams.

The only thing Jesse knows

about the Rockablo project is

that it's the winner of

the Monster Garage viewers'

choice contest, other than

that, these crawling blinds.

So we're going to make a rock crawler.

I don't even know what it is.

I don't even know what it is.

It's a little confused.

So the best thing about this

is it's a viewer's choice.

Rock crawler.

Rock crawler.

I don't even know what it is for

sure, but I'm sure I can make it.

For rock crawling, the

motor is not a big thing.

It's not a big thing.

Steve Ramor is always on the leaning

edge of rock crawling technology.

Designing and building extreme crawlers

like the sn*per and the assassin.

I've been doing off-road fabrication

and design for about 17 years.

A year ago, my wife

and I started Avalanche

Ranch, which is an 832

acre off-road park,

where we can take our

toys and play and host

rock crawling competitions

and club events.

So we need to make a parts list.

We need to front and rear differential.

Probably have to get

some good shocks for it.

Definitely have to do

something with the steering.

I think the best thing to do is just

go full hydrolite right off the bat.

Sean Smith.

A student at Art Center College of Design

can build as well as draw cool cars.

I like getting in there with my

friends and family and building.

Hot rods and shoppers

also takes me back to my

roots and doesn't let me

forget where I came from.

I kind of like that look

with the tire spaced way out.

We can do full with on the axles.

And that'll put most of the

tire outside of the body.

We're going to run solid

axles front and rear, right?

Yeah.

No independence suspension.

What size tires?

Because we can get 35.

40 is to 40.

That's really a big.

If we can narrow the grill up

to just enough for the radiator.

And the same thing for the back.

And you got a lot more clearance.

That should you automatically make it

so it can roll over and withstand it.

So everything's got to be

anchored down batteries.

When you're sitting up

there on the side of the 30

-foot cliff and rock sh**ting

out from underneath,

yeah.

It certainly gets your attention.

See how this is right here?

Yeah.

I'm Bronco.

It's off to the side.

Okay.

When the axle comes right here, it's hard

to get it to clear this bar right here.

Why in Lindy Lindbergh

restores vintage Broncos.

This baby blue relic was his.

But now, it's the sole

property of Mr. Garage.

Well, he's been into off-roading,

opened up the shop, directly Broncos.

And I don't even know

how you guys found me.

There's two types of drivers.

There's the hammerheads.

And there's the finesse drivers.

You can tell I'd be a hammerhead.

I'd be the guy caught on tape.

Oh God.

I think we should

definitely make a custom.

But keep that g*n be color.

I like it.

Set Alabama mini truck turquoise.

The Bronco was keeping stock looks.

But that's all.

Its monster upgrades

will include a role cage.

A more flexible suspension.

Be fear axles and enormous tires.

Day two.

The six-man build crew arrives to

kick out the monster garage doors.

Mike Duncan is a 4x4 specialist

from Burbank, California.

Andy McCloskey is an

attorney from San Diego,

who wrenches on the side.

Brandon Gillen is an extreme rock

-calling champion from Sandy Utah.

Mike Allen is the editor of

popular mechanics magazine,

who lives in New York City.

Steve Ramor is sticking

around for the build.

And so is Ryan Lindberg.

Who wants to see his Bronco, Go Loco.

Stone Cold Jesse gives the hard

facts to Team Rock Brawler.

Couple of guys got some

rock crawler experience.

I know you got Bronco experience.

So basically what we're

going to do is make something

that's going to be able

to basically go vertical.

I think a great goal for today

is to get the thing gutted.

Before it can scale a rock wall,

the Bronco needs to be scaled down.

The front drive shaft comes out

followed by the entire front end.

This team is just getting started

on their Bronco demolition journey.

The crew has no time for a moment.

of silence before drilling into the

precious metal body of the pristine

Ford.

And basically cut this all well together

in the middle, so there won't be a

Ford, there'll just be an F and

a D. I like to do everything you

metal.

To modify some stomach of better.

We're making this way better than this.

Guinea.

The team continues to carve and

kick their Bronco into submission.

There he's a junk at it.

The whole rear end is removed as the

steel tubing arise for the role-cane.

This team is so hungry

for rare vintage steel.

They are satisfied with cutting up

the body. They want the frame too.

Jump.

That's like work.

A few more cuts in the Broncos late bear.

I think we're going to be done.

I don't think we're going to

be down to the last minute.

No way.

We've got that thing straight down to

get ready to go back together already.

These guys are confident

and for good reason.

So far they've been

kicking butt on day two.

But their Bronco is about to kick back.

They look like what I think it is.

Water?

Yeah, sure does.

They're letting them last very long.

We know the metal.

It could be anything.

Whatever it is, it's not good.

Lindy's old Bronco might be lame.

It may need to be taken out and shot.

I think it's fine.

Why make problems until they come up?

We'll have problems.

Maybe not this one.

Mike Allen is usually a little cleaner at

work, editing popular mechanics magazine.

He said he'd lend a hand in

the garage under one condition.

Okay, I'll come and I'll help

but I'm not getting any tattoos.

We've got a really talented

bunch of people here

and they're working

together extremely well.

I'm very impressed.

They learned this the same way I did it.

Like hanging around with people that

their mother didn't want them to.

I'm just running all this fast because

I can't try to keep up with it.

With the valve covers off, the

picture is even less pretty.

Very spacious.

Holy.

Look at this.

This is type of stuff you get

when you never change your oil.

You would never find a Chevy.

I don't care if you

never change your oil.

I want to see what the

cylinder oil is like.

I'm going to get these heads off.

I'm going to manage to be charged.

There we go.

Straight up.

And he will have to take the heads off to

really know what's up with this bad pony.

I wouldn't do this if we

were going to use this head.

So.

Head up.

Head up.

Shoulder in the coolant.

Andrew McCloskey is a gear headed

lawyer from San Diego, California.

I think they were a little

shocked when they found

out that a lawyer is

going to be on their team.

So they're kind of trying to

figure out where I fit in.

They need a couple of

people who just know what

they're doing and know

their way around the garage.

I'm very good in mechanical departments.

So I'll be able to help

that with the motor,

fuel injection, getting

the thing wired up.

These guys rock the garage

on the day two tear down.

But it's not all good

under the Broncos hood.

That's not the scoring.

That's good.

That's how you feel that.

I think this one too.

The cylinder's same too.

Bad cylinders equals bad compression.

Those are way more

than a couple thousand.

And bad compression

equals bad performance.

That isn't fun for seeing obstacle.

Can we get a refund?

I think we got it as far as we could.

The end of day two comes

with a sinking feeling.

On top of an already

heavy workload, the team

will have to swap out

their Broncos motor.

Once to garage factoid,

the world's largest

rock is found in the Australian outback.

Airs rock, the mysterious red monolith

rises 1,400 feet from the desert.

And is over five and a half

miles round its perimeter.

Day three, the team gets

going and reviving the

forcedless carcass they

left for dead last night.

Andy had Mike.

Are you guys cool with

dealing with the motor?

Yeah, I can jump right

on that, no problem.

Mike and Brandon and Linda, you

guys want to start doing tubes.

Okay, there we go, right?

We can thank Sparkle for the

wonderful racing buckets we got here.

Ling glee.

You can't see something,

I can't get ready.

Let's spend some food.

After Andy and Mike Allen dig

out the dirty clogged up heart,

there's nothing left of their

steel horse, but part of the

frame, a transmission, two

doors, and a cracked windshield.

The rest of the teams

starts on a new rib cage.

Lindy brought a pipe bender from

his own shop to do the job right.

This vendor is a mandrel vendor.

It bends around the form.

It bends one way instead of a muffler

vendor pushes the pipe in the middle.

And it puts a kick in the pipe.

This doesn't kink the pipe in here.

It makes it a lot stronger.

So if we do actually roll this one k*ll

ourselves or everybody just the over here.

She's trying to validate

the same line of the door.

By taking careful measurements

before every cut, bend and weld,

the roll cage turns out

plumb, level and square.

That looks pretty good to me.

It was great, perfect.

That's great, I'm good.

I'm going to do my best.

And if it sucks, I'm blaming it on Steve.

Brandon Gillen started anarchy off

road in Salt Lake City, Utah to support

his championship rock crawling habit.

I was a serious champion.

I took first place for

the year, the year 2001.

It means a lot more than me.

If you win and something that

you built with your own hands.

Brandon knows firsthand that the

steel cage is a crawler's best friend.

There's been some accidents

in the rock crawl scene.

It's dangerous.

When you roll over, you know, on

rocks, a jagged, a sharp thing,

come in through your roll cage.

A good friend of mine lost a leg.

Same friend, his son actually

just got to tell this broken.

Work on the roll cage continues.

I'm just going to come in

and catch up underneath here.

You mean Jones is a four?

She can.

Pretty b*tch.

Just matching this to this?

Oh, yeah.

The entire roll cage is welded

directly to the sturdy frame,

protecting both motor and driver.

You'll be able to land this rig

as hard as you want to unrock

and nothing will give them.

Mike Duncan, a four-by-doctor

in Burbank, California,

is a specialist at

driving jeeps upside down.

We've been in the

desert racing for years.

We used to race a scrambler and

everybody in the racing circuit

thought we were really crazy.

After about a year's worth

of racing, I endowed it.

End over in about 65 miles an hour.

I couldn't count how

many times it went over.

I lost count after about

the second end over in.

The viewers were going

to like what we did here.

Maybe Jesse will flip it over,

roll it, crash it, thrashing.

Yeah, it's all good.

Yeah, we expect to roll

this thing over repeatedly.

That's the test.

It needs to roll over and survive.

That's just cutting.

To accelerate the process,

Steve heads over to DynaTrack

to see how their axles are coming.

Jim McGeen put the DynaTrack

assembly line on hold

to make custom axles special

for the Monster Bronto.

Coming along on these things,

we specialize in building

super strong axles for

all types of applications.

Everything from competition rock

crawlers to mining machinery

as well as pluses, truck,

ball kinds of vehicles.

And we're going to get these guys climbing

over rocks by the end of the weekend.

That's our goal.

While an ordinary axle delivers

power to only one wheel,

custom locking differential

have gear teeth

that engage under power to make

sure both buyers on the axle

are clawing their way

to the top of the rock.

Add an extra thick,

roll molly axle shaft,

and this beefy bronto

will be tough to beat.

Steve, maybe we'll take just about

all the torque you guys can make.

Back at the garage, Steve

returns from DynaTrack

with a pair of mock axles.

The actual difference

will be here tomorrow.

We've got these dummy tubes

to kind of get us started.

This baby needs to crawl before it rocks.

Some brand new rubber

booties from BF Goodrich roll

into start the team

off on the right foot.

These are prototype BFG crawler TAs.

They've never been put

on any vehicle before.

We got the first set.

These are the new aluminum

military style beat lock.

They're originally used on humbers.

And this ring basically

presses the tire bead.

And sandwiches it on the inside.

Right in here.

And then on the outside.

The beat of the tire is sandwiched.

In that space, lots of positions.

We can run super low tire fractures.

And we don't have to worry about

the tire rolling off the beat.

The lower tire fractures

allow a lot bigger footprint

between the tire and the rock surface.

We got a lot more traction.

Steve and Lindy struggle

with mounting the tires

in the bead lock rims.

Jesse gets on the bodywork.

Sectioning and welding the front grill.

So the fenders can taper

in and clear the tires.

With no more parts arriving,

the team starts to run

out of things to do.

I'm a little concerned about

getting all the parts in time.

Tomorrow we get the axles.

We're not getting them

water until Thursday.

We're heading to the game Monday.

We're like behind the game now.

We're going home.

That's a wrap.

For the second day in a row,

the team leaves the garage.

This facing what looks

like a rocky road ahead.

Day four.

Team rock crawler races

into work to work.

Once inside the garage,

the builders find a pile of new parts.

None of which they'd had to pay for.

It's a freebie fast.

This team's getting more

donations than the Salvation Army.

Hydraulic steering components

from Avalanche Engineering.

A fuel cell from fuel safe.

And at least transfer case

from advanced adapters.

King shocks and springs.

Exhaust headers from Mac.

A fuel injection kit from Evalbrock.

And last but not least, the pro

rock 60 axles from Dinotrack.

Add to that the tires,

rims, seats and motor.

For a total freebie package of 29,000

230 bucks.

Still they've got no motor.

So Mike Duncan brought one from his shop.

Mike's replica of a Ford 289

will help the team work

out some clearance issues.

The new fuel cell mounts

perfectly in the cage.

She's in.

We're straps.

We've got gas.

Down.

And slide it this way.

While the team is setting the

gargantuan axles in place,

Machi Lindy steps in to help out.

Just kick it.

Just kick it.

Oh, yeah.

Not that much.

That could have been ugly.

I'm in this.

I think kick it hard.

Next time we do that,

let's move the Bronco.

Now that's work to do.

These are nice.

With the real axles in place,

the team descends on the Bronco

in an avalanche of activity.

Brackets are made so the shocks

and springs can be mounted,

and the tires go on.

Even Mike Allen gets in on the action.

Brandon starts making control

arms for the coil over suspension.

He wells threaded bums

into the heavy wall tubing,

so a hive joint can be threaded in.

These are going to be our

front lower control arms.

These will be three of

these on the front end,

and then on the back end they'll

be four as a four length.

The rear axle will have four

control arms stabilizing it

with coil springs and shocks,

allowing the axle to articulate

up and down as much as two feet.

Jesse arrives who continue the bodywork,

clearing the way for the

monstrous 40 inch tires.

So this is the stock fender.

We're going to section nine inches out.

All this in here,

going to disappear.

We'll re-radius our wheel

opening for the big tire.

So this is that nine inches out.

So this should slide

right up and try to drive

a nice straight tack line.

The Atlas transfer case

is one of the best ways

to increase the crawler's low end torque.

Torque is the measure of rotational force

that must ultimately turn

the Broncos 40 inch tires.

The new motor should put out

about 300 foot pounds of torque.

This is multiplied by the

gears and the transmission,

transfer case and differentials.

The finished crawler will put out over 60

,000 foot pounds of torque at the wheels.

Compared this to the stock

Broncos 5,000 foot pounds

or a Honda Civic's 2,000 foot pounds.

You basically could let

this thing idle by itself.

It was not the side of your wall in

the right of the side of the hill.

It would go about half mile an hour.

With their new parts,

the team is finally making some headway

and a new motor from Wayne

should arrive tomorrow.

Months to garage facto aid.

The first Ford Broncos

were released in 1965

around the same time the Rolling

Stones released satisfaction.

Both were big hits.

Day five.

Mindy brings a half cab

Broncos top from his shop.

One half cab top.

This will help keep the stock look

without adding too much weight.

Jesse arrives to

continue the fender work.

We can't believe the original.

Somewhat.

Day two lives ago into the

input on the rear steer valve.

Was that right, right?

It's not here yet.

The hydraulic stuff won't

be that complicated.

We just got to get the valve.

I'm just looking at all

the stuff we have to do.

We got the motor!

Finally, Wayne himself

rolls in the motor.

He built in two days.

It's time.

The attorney gets on the case.

This is the Edelbrock Pro

Flow fuel injection system.

Basically it replaces your carburetor

with the specialized manifold.

It's got a fuel injector

for each cylinder.

So the carburetor anytime you

get on any type of extreme angle.

You won't have enough

gas to keep running.

So fuel injection just solves all

of those problems instantly later.

Test fix.

Come in together.

The new motor is bolted to the stock

transmission and at this transfer case.

So think we're going to go.

The motor transmission and transfer case

are bolted together and ready to go in.

Mike and Andy want to put

the motor mounts in first.

But Lindy has another plan.

Twin sticks are way in the way.

I guess they're hot to hold on.

Go on in.

You guys think about the shift.

We're going to try it.

It doesn't work down.

Do it.

It's in.

Get over.

Go down over here.

Just for the record.

There.

Okay.

We tried.

You're in the Bronco guy.

As Andy predicted, the transfer

case shifters need to come off.

Lindy gets on it.

There you go.

Let's move it.

Oh, that's under it.

Push back.

There we go.

You okay, Mike?

I'm Mike Fingers.

That's the freighter was

broken, but I don't think so.

Ford.

All right, right there.

Get the bolt in it.

The motor's in.

And Andy wants to fire it up.

But he's still waiting for Alex.

The garage manager to show up

with a few kind of useful parts.

We don't have the start.

That's for wires too.

I'm trying to wait for this crack.

It's like fricking five

bucks with the parts up.

Well, I think that's more parts.

Where's Alex?

We're going to mount the radiator.

Mount the front fender.

Mount the grill.

Finish the hood.

Fire the motor.

Break in the can.

Putting the drive shafts

that we don't have.

Mount the steering ramps.

Build all the lines.

We'll eat all the hydraulics.

Mount the rear steering valve.

We'll eat the brakes.

We'll serve vendors.

We'll eat all the hydraulics.

Mount the rear steering valve.

We'll eat the brakes.

There's one day left and

there's still missing parts.

There's way too much work to do.

Day five has rocks in its head.

It's over.

Day six.

This team will not be crushed.

On the final build day with

a huge workload remaining,

the team pounces on the

unsuspecting Bronco.

Except for Lindy, who

is not yet shown up.

Well, here we are, Friday morning.

After late night last night.

We're running out of time.

I think we're going to

be going out of time.

Hopefully some time before noon today

we'll be able to hear this thing running.

The team speculates on

Lindy's whereabouts.

I don't know.

I think he's probably still asleep.

Lindy, you f*ck dude, where are you?

Look who's here.

Look who's here.

Sleeping beauty.

He's bringing his toes. He

must've stayed out last night.

Did you wake up a little

late from last night?

What are you saying?

You didn't have to worry.

Steve unpacks the long-awaited

steering ramps from Parker Hanoffin.

But finds a problem.

These are the hydraulic ramps

for the steering front and back.

The ramps are good.

The shaft is pretty big.

These things are way big.

We just don't have that

kind of room down there.

Steve and Lindy troubleshoot.

How to work around the enormous bracketry

that came with the steering ramps.

Top here.

Take that panorid bar.

Just cut it off.

And it's already

OK.

We're going to pull through there.

And now it's going to push you in there.

Get the panorid bar.

We'll cut it.

Lindy steals the front panhard bar

from the running guts of the

old Bronco to test his solution.

This is worth the perfect time.

Oh, look at that.

That would probably

qualify for monster garage.

Yeah.

We could probably get by with that.

But more than we've seen in the past,

it will definitely qualify

for monster garage.

Lindy's modified steering

ramps seem to work just fine.

Mike Allen unwraps a present

from high angled drive line.

It's heavy.

Heavy duty front and rear drive shafts

custom made to fit this bucking beast.

Mike installs a shafts with

some beefy new you joints.

One of the g*n right now.

You know radiator.

No hoses.

The fittings are holding us up right now.

The wing for electric and up with bolts.

It's starting to seem like

the real hold-up is Alex.

The monster garage manager.

It's Friday.

But there's still no radiator.

Hoses or hydraulic fittings.

Alex, if you don't have

all part till this morning,

you're going down.

You got to be kidding me.

Jesse's learning how

the colon is new boxer.

It's the lean machine.

And it's leaning.

Watch out.

Let's do better.

Keep watching.

Jesse feels a different

energy in the garage today.

You guys are all serious now today.

On the last day.

Yeah, we still made it.

It's going to be so good.

Let's go.

Yeah, we have a hurry.

Well, Andy gets the motor ready to fire.

Steve and Lindy fill the

shocks with nitrogen gas.

Jesse starts mounting the rear fenders.

The team is beginning to unravel.

What?

This has to be level, right?

No, this has to line up.

So that's level.

The fenders like this and like this.

And that doesn't matter.

That's not going to be

like this and like this.

Because we cut in the same.

They're both going to be the same.

I didn't figure that.

Because the lines got a matchup.

Idiot.

How are you going to handle

the level working here, right?

That's not it.

I told you that.

To weld the back on until

we got this straight.

Because otherwise, we're going

to have to cut it off and fix it.

Okay.

So the fender runs down.

I know who to blame.

Yeah.

So I'll have to be imparting

for the last four days.

And now the final day when we

actually have to get it done.

Everything's all serious.

See when I reach out.

We got that fenders.

They're level.

But hold on.

There you go.

I think it's more important that

this line's up than the sheep.

But what?

I think it's funny that you guys

are fighting about something that's

neither one years decision there.

You don't have that.

Because I'll fix it no matter what.

I'll make it level and fit.

You like that?

What do you think?

You guys should have a knife

fight to see who's right.

Like in West Side Story.

A dance fight.

Or a break dance w*r.

That would solve it.

Hold on.

Oh.

The glory of day number five.

Two hours into day five and results.

Oh, hey!

The clock is running out on this team.

Alex, the monster garage manager.

Returns with the wrong hydraulic

fittings for the steering.

They can't cross until they're free.

Are you told him what the cross

partner was and didn't help him?

Every speed speed we have.

Or just try anything here.

All right.

Take this.

Take all that.

Take any other fitting that's wrong.

And can you go there?

A frustrated Steve sends Mike

Duncan to the hydraulic shop.

Before they close to

make sure they get the

right fittings to finish

the steering system.

He's getting frustrated.

You're getting frustrated.

We're all going to the time.

If he gets back here and st from again.

Okay.

We're going to time.

I know that.

Rock roller.

Lindy cuts out a new tailgate that

could read two different ways.

Feeds on rock dinners.

Or found unlocks dead.

The hose?

You got new hose, no?

We ashamed it.

These are all those fittings.

That's what I initially wanted.

It's been 15 minutes.

Got everything that I needed.

Right now I got to get the plumbing.

It was already there.

When was the four of these for the Rams?

Yeah, we got another problem.

I'm not going to go there right now.

Apparently, Mike Duncan didn't get

everything he needed at the hydraulic shop.

He's still missing a couple of fittings.

Alex needs to go get these.

You're on somebody, guys.

But it's after five o

'clock on Friday afternoon.

And there are no hydraulic shops in the

Pacific Times zone that are still open.

I need to get a little snowman build.

Like there's got to have any

in fades for hydraulic on it.

Go swipe them.

We're going to have a

partner with the other guys.

Let's call them a bicycle.

We're going to go hunting.

Mike Duncan and Steve go

cannibalize the fittings

they need from the

Mini Cooper snowmobile.

It's parked in the lot

outside the garage.

There's a couple 90 degree fish in the

back, but I think it's in the adapter.

There.

Where?

Is that anything?

Okay.

Okay.

Get another one down here.

Okay.

We could use the same lines.

In the months of garage,

there are no rules.

Other than the rules.

We're little fittings, don't know.

And this team will have to

do what it must to survive.

Do you still fittings?

We're stealing.

We're down to the wire.

Somehow this shop.

Eight of two fittings or eight.

I've misplaced them somewhere.

It's getting late.

I've got to improvise.

This thing's rolling

out this door to night.

You're gonna have to get back here.

Yeah.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

Good plan.

Ready, Hater?

One step closer.

Jesse goes that around a

chopper way better than me but

Drop-knock.

Drop-knock is that his thing.

It's the first shark he goes over in

this thing. He's going to get stuck on.

Jesse plosses to admire some

of Lindy's craftsmanship.

Those brackets look good, Lindy.

For that, scary. That round?

Nice job.

Some good work.

Is that a part of your

manufacture of your shop?

It's 10 o'clock and the

radiator is installed.

The computer chip is plugged in.

The steering hydraulics are plumbed.

The brakes are bled.

This Bronco is ready to buck.

It still looks like a Bronco.

Oh, yeah, that's nice.

Like it.

It's a little as far as I can.

The boulder runs and the front

end rear steering are working.

But there's a new problem.

We got a lead.

And there's no time for problems.

The thermostat housing

just broke in half.

Six dollars per hour that we didn't get.

So Lindy's going to grab one.

You know, one off of his Bronco.

We're going to swap it out.

And we're ready to do something.

Pressing.

In a last minute sacrifice,

Lindy cannibalizes his own Bronco

to replace the cracked

thermostat housing.

Are we done?

Let's go start.

When they start the motor again,

Coolant is still leaking.

Luckily, Jesse's been

schooled by the best.

It's like a goofy scar.

Hey, let's go.

The team gets the Burley Bronco outside,

where Jesse is showing

off his slick new ride.

A 1979 Osmobile Delta 88.

After a few donuts, Jesse decides this

car doesn't handle as well as his Ferrari.

So it must be destroyed.

The old car is feeling the pain.

Its exhaust manifold is glowing red hot.

The temperature lights on.

Yeah, how's it going?

An expl*si*n of boiling coolant

is the Delta 88's death rattle.

But the raining radiator

fluid isn't enough

to extinguish the inferno under the hood.

Jesse steps in to quiet

the car's restless soul.

Now, Jesse will pay the body.

Put it out of its misery and style.

Now it's overheating.

Blue radiator.

No, it's cool.

All right, man. Be careful.

I don't want to do it anymore.

That's right.

You're my friend.

I don't want to do it anymore.

Damn it.

Yeah.

That's pretty fun.

What time is it?

It's got the time.

12.03.

So now I'm talking about

Yeah.

This crew took on and

heroic dose of force

and built a rock solid gravy.

While a team collects their bounty,

their pony gets a different

coat of the same color.

The stuff will protect the thing

when Jesse's out there beating

the thing up in all the rocks.

The entire crawler is

coated inside and out

with light acts for an invincible finish.

Are you ready, monster fans?

Big swag here, and we are moments away

from another monster garage challenge.

As always, sitting on

the rock next to me,

Frankie White side.

Frankie, where the hell are we?

Out in the Mojave Desert swag,

where it's so darn hot, even

the locals have to take cover.

Well, I know one thing that

can always take the heat,

a fresh hot monster

right out of the garage.

That's right, Flintstone, and this

one is turning off the pavement

and hitting dirt as we speak.

It's the viewers' joy special,

the monster rock crawler.

The viewers have spoken,

and I like what they say.

Nice!

Check it out, swag.

There's only one man I

know who can draw a crowd

in the middle of the desert.

Monster garage is built upon a rock,

and his name is Jesse James.

Holy Moses, Frankie!

Let's listen up, as Bill

team member Mike Duncan

lays out the rules for this challenge.

What we're going to do, Jesse,

is going to go down between

the two cactus over there.

We're going to make a right.

We're going to go pass

that to Paul Cactus there.

We'll hang a ue.

We'll head down into the rocks over here,

and come back up, make a left,

and there's some little technical

stuff up in there we can do.

Why?

Well, Frankie looks like Jesse

wants to break the rules.

Let's see if he can break some rocks.

So far, so good.

Oh, good shot from the drive shaft hand.

swag, a car becomes a rock crawler

by modifying the transmission,

transfer case, and differentials

to produce a very low gear ratio.

This results in a

massive amount of torque.

For the monster rock crawler,

we're talking 16,000 foot

pounds of torque at the wheels.

I couldn't have said

it any better, Frankie.

Oh, yeah.

Jesse's hit the big stuff.

All right.

You've got to start.

I think he likes it, swag.

Oh, Jesse's stuck in his monsters,

losing precious bodily fluids.

That's transmission fluid, swag.

Is it?

Yeah, if you can.

Oh, little upset stomach,

he's in stopping Jesse and his monster.

Go get a buddy.

He's working at swag.

Let's see what the big deal is all about.

Oh, yeah.

Jesse's put on his helmet.

That's a red sparkle,

in 1964 fury 400.

What can only be one thing?

Time for round two.

Well, swag, Jesse said he

wanted to roll his new monster.

Let's see if he can.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, no.

That's got a hurt.

Looks like he broke one

of the support rods.

He broke the ball.

He ripped the ball right out of it.

He really launched it.

That was a beauty.

Kick five in a beauty.

Oh, he tackled the front drive shaft.

That's not good.

We set it from the start, Frankie.

There's two kind of

drivers for rock crawler.

The footest and the hammer hand.

Jesse ball, Pete James, he's

the head of all hammers.

I'm off the door.

So that's his real failure.

He definitely crawled over rocks.

Rock crawler.

Looks like Jesse's

gonna roll it after all.

Thanks to his desert followers.

Way to go, monster fans.

What a way to rock.

Jesse's got a new dog swag.

What's he call it?

Her name is really the Dominator.

And the top and all of it just so

happens to be Jesse's birthday.

The crowd gathers around to help

the master fabricator sell up her.

And Jesse likes the dog get first

links on the desert dessert.

I think I'll pass on the cake, Frank.

You go right ahead.

I'm not hungry either, Schleg.

Looks it, folks.

Jesse's got no time for

rockin' without rolling.

Without falling and anything that

looks like a dog going on it.

He's got spooked supply.

Metal the burn.

The next Mustang garage challenge

is just around the bend.

You!

My heart, myself.

Wendy.

Steve.

Mike.

I'm Steve.

Andrew.

Frosty.

Back to us.

Monster grives, CDs.

Yeah.

You only get the stuff if you make it.
