- Today we see if my Electric Hummer conversion can TOW! Grab your own HP Dragonfly Pro HERE!: tidd.ly/3CnsH2G Trucks are only useful if they can DO stuff - and my apocalypse ready DIY Electric HUMVEE needs to be able to pull both ball hitch trailers as well as agricultural and industrial pintle hitch trailers. Today we see what happens when we tow 3300 pounds with my Home made electric Hummer conversion - will it survive?! Fingers crossed.

"Is it broken a little bit?"
We all are, lil dude. We all are.
“Usually” has to be the peak dad wisdom that just feels lost on them little squishy souls.
Who Hurt you my man
Was that kid his son? If so, it's impressive he can talk so clearly and in full sentences!
@@David_Phantom Well only Jerry can answer that. I think its his son. Its so impressive.
@@DGeniusBot
No, he has 1 son and he's still a baby .
Must have been nice to feel the wind in your hair while driving that.
He got to test how aerodynamic his head actually is now
That was the cutest insert. "Is it always broken. Zack: Yep Pretty Much!" I cannot wait to see When it is not broken anymore. Thanks for the videos.
With Zack doing most of the breaking
It honestly made me a little sad with the kid being very interested and him not showing them what he's doing.
@@AdmiralEisbaera bit late but yea I noticed that too. Maybe it was best for his kid to keep distance that time.
I'll be honest, a 'convenient customer service button built right into the laptop' doesnt fill me with confidence for the laptop in question
Especially if you need customer support for your bricked HP printer where they bricked it with a firmware update preventing you from using a third party toner. How many months is it now HP?
Fortunately it's positioned very strategically between the enter and backspace key. Apparently they are extremely confident that you're going to need to hit that support key nearly as often and wanted to make sure you could get to it quickly. I'm sure no one who buys this laptop will accidentally hit it all the time. Nor will they ever get tired of effectively having an ad for HP's support physically embedded into their keyboard after their free support has ended in a couple years.
At least Zack warned anyone with common sense away from buying the thing by pointing it out. Or maybe that was HP shooting themselves in the foot by asking him specifically to talk about it lol
@@Goodgu3963 id hope anyone who gets any of these instantly does a fresh windows install and uninstalls all hp apps so the button doesn't work
Exactly my thoughts.😄
It’s just asking to be pressed!!! They themselves don’t trust in their product
I could watch you drive this truck for hours and debugging its issues. I love this truck it's a new life goal for me.
It's a lot more fun if you don't have a TH-cam audience forcing you to do it "the right way". There are a lot of corners Jerry could have cut to get going cheaper and easier. Like the dc/dc converter, it can't fail if you don't have one at all, you just have to remember to charge the 12v battery occasionally.
@@augsuor you could have one and not have to charge it yourself, saying that though why should we use motor boats, let's just paddle them instead because we would only have to refuel them.
I liked his resolve on the issue and is completely in accordance with variable voltages
‘Just in case we have to be lifted by a helicopter’ will either be forgotten or be the most spectacular case of foreshadowing ever.
Kid just absolutely roasting the project car.
"Is it always broken?" "Yeah, pretty much." 😂 That got me.
when sizing a circuit breaker or fuse, make sure you get one thats rated for the application (devices being protected and wire size) breakers trip and fuses blow for a reason, its not always as easy as putting a larger size in place
Correct.
Yes, if the charger draws 45A peak, the manufacturer might require a 60A breaker on it, or a slow blow 40A breaker, so that the momentary 45A draw for a few seconds does not trip it.
@@SeanBZA idk about other countries, but the NEC, the codebook that the US follows has guidelines specific to how over current protection devices should operate for both AC and DC applications
@@masterbond9 Yes, but a lot of countries follow the IEC rulebook ,so the installations are similar, while the USA has a whole host of different rules depending on which state you are in.
@@SeanBZA the US NEC is the bare minimum, states and cities base their own electrical codes on it. even if they may be a few revisions behind
That clip with your kid asking if it was broken was so funny and cute lol
Cute and funny
@Brian Geer 😭
@@D-K-C 😭
Omg that little voice melted my heart
I know you’re busy, but I would love to see a final wrap up to this awesome project! Been very cool watching this thing from start to finish.
Agreed! What happened to this project?
i love this series. i'm so glad you're taking your time with it and building it right. thanks for sharing this journey.
customer service button ON THE KEYBOARD???!
What maniac decided that was a good idea
Great video, as always! But... You should have loaded the heaviest items, the engine, the transmission, etc., at the front of the trailer. This helps the trailer tow more steadily, and reduces the risk of it swaying and/or worse, jack-knifing.
Just binge watched the whole series after finding it. Wow it has been a journey, I learned so much about how cars work (both combustion and electric). Would love to see more content for this project, especially finishing off the bugs, solar panels, painting, transparent doghouse, suspension etc
I’m still planning on it!
Absolutely lost it at “is it broken?” “Yeah usually :)”
2:34 insert with the kid asking about it being broken is off the chart adorable.
It's really cool watching this traditionally male oriented content, you've got a calm and comforting demeanor. Please be on my zombie apocalypse team
It seems like not so long I started following your Hummer journey and you just had a boy and now your little kid is talking. That was sweet. ♥
The towing capacity is only partially based on the hp of the drive. Axles, brakes, suspension, weight, and footprint all play a part. Towing is probably better due to added battery weight and regen braking.
Nice, I'm glad we get more hummer videos
Now I wanna go clean my garage. Thanks Zack.
Same.
I love it that u always have eye protection 👍
My wife and I recently passed through Utah on a road trip from New Mexico to Oregon. I kept my eyes open hoping to catch a glimpse of the hummer out on the road. lol
priceless dad/daughter conservation
Loved hearing the little one asking questions. My one joy is still getting questions even though I think all of my children are smarter than me.
This series is something I have binged multiple times and I have followed its journey for almost two years. It always surprises me how invested I am, lol. Keep up the great work.
working progress... not too shabby....
that little voice is so adorable! Is it always broken. Zack: Yep Pretty Much!
1:51 On highway truck they often have these types of hitch for b-trains usually
That HummEV is cool.. regarding military mechanics the TH-camr Car Wizard used to be a mechanic in the army and he worked in thousands of Hummer
I'll have to give him a shout.
You just know his wife was like "WHEN ARE YOU GETTING RID OF THAT PILE OF JUNK IN THE GARAGE!? 😡😡"
Yes, that seems to be her vibe 😂
Thanks for the adventure appreciate to see the parts go to a good use
Hey mate, should checkout a really common off-road tow mount here is Aus called the do35, strong quiet and great for multi angle offroading 👌 Loving the hummer series!!
It is great to have a 5 car garage and use it for anything and everything but cars! Even tho I love cars too.
2:33 The kid is a prophet. Something breaks later on indeed.
Listening to your kid right there, brought me back to when you broke the news of the pregnancy.. working on the garden while pregnant. So wholesome and great
Zach, id recommend putting some kind of doors and something behind the cab as if you ever roll over, there is nothing supporting that roof
Back in the 60s, I worked with HP products, and they were extremely reliable. Although I never cared for their calculators, I always preferred the logic used in Texas Instruments calculators.
Good video. 👍
Hi Jerry ,been watching this conversion from the start. Perhaps a bit too obvious but, would running the motor and battery coolant on 2 independent cooling loops make sense.
@ Steve Goodine
Yes I had the exact same thoughts about it and it never hurts to have too much cooling capacity!
But he probably wants to use the motor heat to help heat up the pack in cold weather, I’m sure he can find a solution!
Really awesome to see you putting the project to work, and that your old parts found a good new home.
It would be a Good idea to cool the Motor and Battrey w separate Radiators
Then use electronicly Controlable water pumps and set em up to turn onn when a certain temp is reached 👌🏼
yeah, the thing(s) that produces more heat getting one cooling system and the not so hotter thing(s) on another. So less chance on cross heating and more cooling on where it needs
awesome editing cut in at 8:56!!!!
It's a good idea to load the heaviest items in the front of a trailer, or at least in front of the trailer axle.
You could also have installed a pintel ball hitch, the lower "jaw" is a ball so you can use either ball or pintel hitch.
You handled the 12volt dying very well. I would have panicked for a second especially since I will have to use the breaks manually.
Really love this project. But here in The Netherlands, before you can go on the road again, you must go true a real MOT check etc etc, so everything works 100% and won’t fail while riding
In the US, we have a state-level inspection requirement that includes safety and air pollution tests. I assume he had to go through an inspection in his state, but the inspection doesn't include a full mechanical test.
@@JonFrumTheFirst That varies from state to state though, some do and some don't. By me, not in the USA, all that is needed would be the inspection when bought, which amounts to do the lights work, does the horn work, does the windscreen not have cracks in the visible area, does the suspension not have excessive play (joke on a Hummer), does the engine and transmission not have visible oil leaks, and do the brakes pass a minimum level, do all the doors work, and the seatbelts (if fitted, plenty of pre seatbelt law vehicles still on the road here), plus a road test to see it does not have too many rattles. After that nothing, till you sell it again. So you see many vehicles best described as rust moving in close formation, and vehicles that resemble the Exxon Valdez
Please tell me that you and HeavyDSparks are going to do a collab where he hoists your Hummer with his Blackhawk helicopter!
Always a good day when Jerry uploads.
I’m always happy to see some of your hummer content Zack 👍🏻
Love the work Jerry. Keep it up
Wow what a story made up for the Ad.... well done.
collab with the diesel boys and their black hawk? Let's see this thing flyyyy
Did Zack ever give us the weight measurements before and after?
Thought for the cooling distribution system.
Maybe use a dynamic T valve that is able to divert more of less fluid down each loop dynamically based on temps of each system? If it was dynamically adjusting the distribution between them it would probably stabilize no matter the activity you were using the W for.
Control loop could go something like:
T1 = Temp 1
T2 = Temp 2
loop for inf
(If T1 > T2 (divert more fluid to T1)
else if T2 > T1 (divert more fluid to T2))
this is pseudo code. etc.
Something like that would balance the cooling capacity between each loop.
That was a video I was waitinig for a long time. Thank you very much. I really like your chanel.
Put a oil cooler in the front and connect it to the coolant system it may help
I like Zach enough to sit through that AMAZING HP LAPTOP section of the video.
"is it always broken"
- yea pretty much
that was amazing
this is the best content i have seen. American af
Should take a look at Framework laptops. Fully replaceable pieces to continuously upgrade your laptop and repair it if needed.
The breaker is only a short circuit breaker, used for car-audio or ignition. Means the rating like 50A stands only for a couple of seconds and not for long period.
I think you are in the fine tuning and decoration phase of the build. When are you going to fix the roof of the truck?
The good thing about Jerry Rig Everything channel is that we get to hear the ASMR of the stuff he does rather than some annoying background music playing in between the video
I miss my F250 2008 diesel. Must watch another Jerry Rig....
Hi Zack, Loved the part around "Is it broken a little bit" :D
Just FYI, there is no measurement called "Amperage", the correct term is current.
I need more of that drill cam
Second that, needing to have a dedicated button for support is hilarious
I don't really know what it is . your great voice or the content. that keeps me wanting more but, in the end it really doesn't matter. i will keep coming back . please keep what your doing it works.
finally waiting for the updates for days mate..!
love this content
3:19 Damn jerry you're jacked
You could also convert heat from the breaking system to charge the Battery.
Yeah it will have regenerative breaking
@@JerryRigEverything Nice. New challenges always arriving . Good one .
Out of all the fun stuff you do and build, your relationship with your sweet wife is the strongest and most inspiring thing you’ve ever accomplished
aight i get it, i thought this was done since there were 30 videos but i'm happy to wait for another, slow visual progress but the past 3 years have turned this thing into an entirely different beast, I'm excited to see what you do.
Really loved the whole series. When is the next video dropping??
Ive been noticing that the center mass of the trailer coud be be improved so the stability is bether. But its still a great video.
Holy shit I love this! I want to convert my H3 to electric. Hopefully we start getting kits out soon
About time we see updates
That Hummer hums nicely
Finally humvee video in long time!
"Is it always broken?" Yeahhhh 😂😂😂
You sir, are probably the nicest bloke on this planet :)
The support button is just hard coded to tell you to re-boot windows and then re-install windows on the second push.
I saw u drive past in it. It’s sooo cool
Are you planning to do anything body wise, add doors, rear firewall, patch the roof nicer, paint, interior comforts etc.?
Dear Zach, please make a V2 of your off road EV after you get the crazy stuff worked out with your hummer.
Love the hummer series
Have you considered adding solar panels on the top of your Hummer ? Looks like there is a decent space for at least two of them panels to be added on. 😀
Yup!
Zack you need to ask Panasonic for toughbook samples for durability test.
Have you seen Edison Motors?
They're rebuilding logging trucks into electric vehicles, as well as building large solar generator trailers. It's like they're taking some of your ideas to the absolute maximum!
That's interesting! You're getting rid of the old wheels and tires, too? Wouldn't you want to keep those as backups?
Great job on the video Zack! Thanks for making it.
That trailer load is one large bump away from having a yard sale!!
I mean hp knows how bad their laptops are to put a dedicated customer support button 👍👍.
If i see a pick up truck like that, someone like Zack is the exact type of guy i'm expecting to see 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe instead of a traditional car battery, you should be using a deep cycle for the 12 V system, or an AGM
I forget what you put in it when you built it
It's pretty cool, after seeing the Hummer get towed by a Rivian and a Ford, to see the Hummer do some towing of its own.
Need to get a Perspex cover over the gearbox service zone in the cab
It's that Cole in the background asking if the truck is broken? LoL He's too funny and a nice kid.
