Please paint the truck with rocker guard. That is all thanks.

The air pressure in the hose is enough pressure to push the needle valve down so air can enter the tire.....:)
If'n it was my project I would have a exocage wrapping it with a roof mounted tent. And a bush kitchen setup for back country expeditions. You know something for Bigfoot to throw rocks at. ✌️
most likely pressure of the air pushing the valve open
Considering your driving style, you need to build an outside-the-body hoop cage so it can just roll without killing you or bursting into flames.
Just put the roll cage outside where it belongs...
Exocage? I want one on my xj lol more like need one haha😂
Exo-cage for the win!
Yes... Pretty sure an exo-cage is what it for sure needs! Just have to consider the weight...
Driveline upgrades would have to happen I'd think.
A round one so you can just roll over completely and wind up on the tires again
Please keep this build going! It would be so cool to see it with a paint job and some off road lights and dare I say, a beefier roll bar?
make it into barbie kei truck please!!!

Pink?
if the 6x6 has an auxilary output, adding a small generator attachment would be cool to charge the vehiche being towed, to charge devices on the go, and to maybe go camping with it. Having the equiptment in the back would be cool with an extended roll cage to mount things like gas tanks, solar, tarps, tents, lights, and more. Equiping this to be an overlanding beast would be super cool.
A white bedliner paint job would hide those “imperfections”, tow system for the busted toys, hmm... You guys still have that overland trailer? 😊
18:42 that air nozzle trick made my jaw drop just like all of you guys. 😮
Please keep learning more useful tips like that from tiktok and showing us, so I never have to go onto that horrible platform 😁
This is probably the coolest episode thus far. I love the 6x6, and the baby jetboat seems like it would be the most fun vehicle physically possible. Dare I suggest that this has been... premium content? I hope a windshield can be gotten for the kei truck for a non-million dollars. Parts availability is the ONLY reason I don't have a lifted kei truck for trail use. Maybe with less grip, the front diff will be safe for a while.
If you get a suzuki you'll be surprised how many parts you can still get new. Up till this year they still made the Carry 1.3 under a different name and badge in India.
@@danoupossel5072 Right, but I'm sure they're expensive and hard to get in the USA, aren't they?
@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney I got a brand spanking new prop shaft for just under 300 euro's. I think that's quite reasonable. And I can't imagine shipping is more expensive to the US than to Europe from Japan or China.
I'd imagine it's just the air pressure pushing down the seal on the schrader valve.
But yeah,I had no idea you could do that.
Oh...and ditto on wasting so much time looking for one of my half dozen air chucks.
Yeah, I remember my dad doing that all the time when I was a kid, I do it time to time. found out it don't work on most car wheels now days because most wheels have short schrader valve stems because of tmps.
I do it all the time with tractor tires. I pull the shrader valve first so that air flows faster though. You just have to be quick reinstalling the valve when the time comes.
That air hose hack has been around since I was a kid. I love how you guys are learning old-timer tricks and how is old-timers are learning stuff from the younger generation. As it should be. You keep my 58 year old heart young. I’m still doing wheelies on my Yamaha WR450F!
I forgot how badass the mini jet boat is and how much I loved watching you guys rip it the first time..not to mention how premium the sounds it makes are. I want to build something like it so bad lol! 👌
The production values just keep getting better and better. I’ve been watching everything since barbie cart and I’ve loved the journey, but the videos lately are the best so far. And you need to build a dock for the pond.
I don't watch TH-cam for production value. I would watch crap quality as long as the content is enjoyable. Once the big channels start to look like a TV show I unsub and never return. We get more content when the creator doesn't worry about production quality. Keep it gritty and real
As long as they keep the small shop, I will keep watching. The tiny shop and the crazy builds are THE defining feature of grind hard. I have been watching since the beginning of barbie car season 2, so it's good to see other long time viewers!
Steven with the Pudins fab shop sweater!!! 😍
I had to rewind it because I thought I was seeing things. Awesome that he supports Puddin!
The air hose trick works by the valve body sealing the coupler and the air pressure overcoming the little force needed to open the Schrader valve. If you have large tires to fill, pull the Schrader to fill faster and quickly install it back before it all escapes.
Ethan, that’s actually crazy how much injury that seatbelt saved you from. And the fact it held a big American boy and didn’t break, I give props to whoever built those seatbelts for Mitsubishi
I mean...... He's not a super big fat guy, and you'd hope that seatbelts of all things would have a pretty big factor of safety.....
@@jaredlancaster4137 when it’s built for 5’2, 100 pound Chinese people, yes it is impressive it held.
@@Watchdog99 mitsubishi is japanese which national average is 5'7 and they have to adhere to the same restrictions as the US for safety, infact I think they're more strict.
he's about the size of a stocky japanese person. wtf are you on about?
@@Watchdog99 Safety factor. I said safety factor. If you're not familiar with what that is, it's making things stronger than they need to be if they're safety critical. Something like a seatbelt you would generally make about 3x stronger than it should need to be. Which means something that will hold a 100lb Japanese guy in a hard crash will have no problem supporting a 500lb fat guy in a slow rollover. But Ethan is definitely under 200lb, so not really that crazy.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
The scoring keeps on getting better and better. Great work on everything and the work on the music is noticed and appreciated!
I agree! I'd love to know the name of that surf rock used in the outro on this one
Premium Video. Long time fan of your builds. I can't believe how far you guys have come since I started watching the channel! Keep up the great work! Also digging the drone shots of the woods, Edwin! Sorry about the roll over 😅
The shredding of the pond looked like redemption. He didn't seem too upset about rolling his premium kei truck. His ability to overcome unthinkable barriers is admirable. Level headed. cool in all circumstances, like a snow fed creek in northern Idaho.
Premium
@@ecoriderLNT when you say "he" are you referring to Ethan?
The fact that Ethan just rolled a truck and was so calm about it what a G id be screaming my head off
It was a slow roll over. So the momentum was reduced. Had it been faster, the momentum would have been much more severe and could have resulted in more serious injuries. Also lucked out the old seat belts held up.
Id be screaming but not for the reason your describing.
This is easily becoming one of the most enjoyable channels in my subscriptions.
The brainstorming, fabrication and completion coupled with the editing and filming quality is very entertaining.
Also the fact you are building some random ass cool stuff and having fun like big kids...PREMIUM
My dudes, u guys are just living the best life a human can possibly live. That lil boat is the coolest thing ever.
wish I had one of those tiny trucks. They always look like a blast and could do so many upgrades to get them up to high speeds.
You can get them brand new under 6k usd if you want any guide how you can get it I can explain like through which country
You can ship them from Pakistan
A place close to my work sells plenty of Daihatsu minis like this one for well under $10k
@@chromasux2 Can you tell me the model name?
@@Gamer74812 Daihatsu Hijet and Suzuki Carries look up Duncan Imports
Can you do an overlanding tour with some of your bilds? Like the colonel, barbie jeep and trailer, the 6x6? That would be sooo sick!
My idea was make the bed on this 6x6 removable with a 5th wheel hitch they can swap on instead. Then fab up a mini double deck car hauler trailer for all the power wheels. It would look like a little old cab over engine semi from the 70s-early 80s.
17:12 the air pressure just moves it like a check valve. This is how a lot of portable pumps work.
How have I never heard of the air hose 'trick' before? I'm 70 years old. Worked in garages starting at 15 not to mention helping my dad and brother when I was younger. Worked in the motor pool in the Army for 10 years. My brother owned a garage. I Have changed thousands of tires, on and on I could give my 'bona fides' and I never even heard of this! I am dumb founded!
I'm glad ya'll got such good footage of the rollover!
Dude theres so many cameras there would probably be 2hour footage of a single fart.
thumb's up for the Puddins Fab sweat shirt he's a bit insane but he's still a hell of fabricator also before you get a new windshield how about a tiny exo cage to prevent it breaking a second time the windshield for those ain't cheap
You guys do incredible work. Your fabrication skills are just next level. You must work 24/7 non-stop to be able to produce all these projects and content. Pretty amazing. I've been watching for about a year now and you guys really motivate me to keep chipping away at all of my projects. Thanks for the content!! Much appreciative!
You guys are obviously a bunch of kids at heart with your Build's. I'm so jealous
The 6x6 kei truck is my favorite project you guys have done so far, gives Europe truck trials rigs just mini version. Needs an exo cage to complete to look
You guy’s have quite possibly the coolest location in the YouTubiverse to build and test all of your toys 👌🏻
Absolutely premium content 🙏🏻
Hey guys! Awesome build so far. I had the problem with a dif turning the wrong way too in one of my builds years a go. Then realized that it will spin the other way around if you just flip it. You should check if the dif can be flipped upside down. Can you move a vent if it has on and check how it oils it's self and so on. Then you could buy the better dif if it can be installed upside down. Keep up the jeeeeet!!!
Just a few minutes into this video, Great idea for future builds, and to everybody at home, Differentials can be turned up-side down to Reverse the direction of drive, a lot of people argue that this isn't possible, but it is. Obviously there can be oiling issues and a higer drive shaft and slightly offset. But for fun offroad projects, it's really doable.
The Mad Scientist needs a bigger shop with a good lift:-)
I've watched a butt-load of your videos, never seen you guys do any plumbing, but you dudes definitely "grind hard." Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Please keep 'em coming.
This video started out like a regular Grind Hard fab video and then quickly evolved into some of the rowdiest ripping you guys have EVER posted!! That jet boat thrash was insane!!!
Seriously you guys are amazing! Love the truck project and like others have said, hope to see this customized to the hilt! And the jet boat, just badass!
We need a Mini Truck Rally 👀
My reaction to the air chuck trick was more of an "I'll be damned!" Those tires are some chonky boys though, looking really good on those and the rim choice. Still think it needs a badass tube front bumper and exo-cage for it to be a true Grind Hard workhorse/trailrig... 😉
Man I had fun watching you guys rippin it up , and I totally agree with you that those two builds together make for a fun time. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Sucks about tipping the 6x6.. but damn! The tiny boat footage. So good you guys. PREMIUM! Looks like such a blast to hang out and work with you all. Building amazing stuff.
This has to be my favorite sound track episode yet. I think we have to thank Edwin’s wife for Latin flair.
Stephen had on a Puddins Fab Shop hoodie on when he got knocked over by the water! that's sick haha, good choice. right at 30 minutes.
Your mini Barbie boat is one of my favorite projects you've done.I've watched all your boat episodes at least a couple extra times. But when you put tracks on everything bring it bring so much joy
I love that the boys learned the air hose trick and all of us who grew up being tire techs are like uhhhhh sir that's normal 😅😂 such a wild world to live in where people know the most random things
I was thinking the EXACT same thing! ROTFLOL. Except I was never a tire-tech, but still knew that was how to get it done. It does better when getting the bead on because its less restrictive than a chuck.
love this truck man
thanks for brightening up a down day- I had fun watching Y'all have fun
Awesome vid. And if i may suggest:
1)Repair dents and body work.
2) Paint with raptor liner in army green.
3) Make a electric boat lift in the back of truck.
4) Make a headache rack with lights and wench.
dude this honestly made me so sad. this is easily the coolest thing you guys have ever built and when it rolled i almost shed a fucking tear
It is a shame to bend up that cab.
I'm surprised he's not already designing a long travel a arm kit for it and I think it would look cool if you could get all 6 tires out the width of the tire thickness
That's exactly what I thought. Long arm suspension to add width and travel.
The more I watch you guys, the more I love your vids. The editing, the music, drone shots....sarcastic banter, everything!
Nice to see Puddins Fab Shop merch in the video. The 6x6 has got to be the best toy you all have built so far
Now can y’all work on the tesla tank please?
Its benn over a year they prolly never will😊
They made a video on how it won't be a thing
@@Ameritude when?
I think they made the fast electric power wheels orange Porsche car instead of the tank
But anything electric that they do I will definitely be more interested in
these are the most wholesome videos I love y'alls personalities. keep the premium content coming.
Love that your using a hardwood flooring hammer to install struts, and bulge tires to seat beads…. Total grind hard energy
Another awesome video looked so much fun great job on the upgrades absoultely love the pink boat wicked fast & responsive 👊💨
This one was so fun to watch! Nicely shot and edited!
Keep up the good work I like the way yell build yells projects n they have speed n power that's always a good thing
Keep this build going , it’s already a beast but I want to see it turn into a monster ! Keep it up
I swear, that has to be the coolest project you guys have worked on!! You guys have the best job on earth!! That thing would be wicked on the snow if you made some snow tracks for it. Nice work, guys!! 🏆🥇🏅🎖
Definitely a ladder rack on back that goes into an exo-cage around the front would put this over the top! Also if you do that cage a long stinger bar off the front might let you go down some hills without you know front flips! Love the build so cool!
I'm 52 and I went jet skiing with a buddy, 2 years ago! He had just bought 2 used Sea-Doo's for a good price. I swore that day, that I'd never ever try it again! It beat the 💩 out of me! That's until I saw, that little jet boat! How badass is that! I'd come out of retirement for a ride in that! 💯🤪
I have really enjoyed these builds. That little 6x6 is awesome. Verry capable rig! That little boat is rowdy!
You should be able to get the rebound on the shocks valved a little stiffer.
Slab an external cage on it like those Dakar trucks. The damage looks minor, You can probably beat that into accepting a new windscreen.
Top notch fabrication and high octane entertainment as usual!
My mind was blown with the air compressor trick, then your yard dog comes randomly walking up with a nice shed?!😂😂 know guys that’d pay good money for that pup lol
The pond fun, you guys literally dropped the water level as you drove, that's so premium.
Awesome build, really enjoyed the video.
I’ve been doing that for years, It’s amazing what you can discover when you are challenged by need to with no tools at hand.
Those of you wondering how this is possible (to fill the tire without the adapter), he in fact did say it. The design is fairly similar but the center of the hose pin is small enough to fit within the ring. When I first seen it I had a chuckle. This was a trick my old automotive teacher use to teach back in the early 2000s. A good example is compare the inside of the air hose with the one you get air from at gas stations. ^_^
Björn say's "Make the Kei, a tiny ICELAND TRUCK!" Webasto heater, full tool kit..... camp gear..... cap on back, with a door to the cab, so everybody is inside together....exocage all around....So everybody can harness in, and REMAIN safe, even in a somersault.....doggo harnesses? high torque engine.... 6 people in snug, or four loose... .......Maybe include a Stihl chainsaw in that tool kit, for those wooded areas. A MIGHTY, but tiny OVERLAND RIG, WITH BIG WHEELS, BUT A SMALL FOOTPRINT! Ready for 4 people, plus two doggo's, to overland with a load of gear, or 6 + 2 doggers to go out for the day.....
That Barbie jet boat is the best boat I've ever seen!!!! The fact that you can use a jet boat in a pond is mind blowing and has me wanting to build my own one...... just a little bit more buoyant as sinking every time I stop going forward would become a bit of a drag. On the plus side, fat floats so I don't need a life jacket 🤣😋
Been loving the videos lately I’ve always been a fan of the channel but only watched the occasional video. but I’ve been watching religiously now keep up the good work 🤙
The old farmer Air hose trick!!! Lol it actually supplies more air volume when filling up huge tire so be careful filling little guys it'll fill them real quick..
If you ever get bored and want more power, I would suggest putting in the 13b from the trike in the kei truck.
It would be hella cool and the trike does not get used much anyway.
The mini boat looks such fun, looking forward to 6x6 Turbo mini-truck mk2
I have a custom built 6x6 semi Ive been working on and its a monster, i want to make a suggestion in making the middle suspension super soft and allowing it to travel as freely as possible. Its gotten me up and down many a obstacle
So incredibly and blatantly obvious that Ethan most definitely has a motocross background!
Dudes a natural for sure also!
Everyone killed it as always! Thank you!
Looks like a great time and it looks like it handled the role over pretty good..
The drone footage of the roll over was gorgeous
Another Great Video! Your team is getting more cohesive every day. The valve stem is actually a high quality directional valve and once the spring is overcome is a great regulator/control valve. I am currently making a video for a one man, poor mans brake bleeder.
The truck looks absolutely brilliant! This definitely needs to have " Grind Hard Plumbing Power Wheels Recovery Team" painted down each side! Keep doing what you do 👍‼
Love Steven's Puddin's Fab Shop hoodie. Real recognize real! I'm sure there is a ton of overlap between the two subscriber bases.
Incredible build, in spite of its rust! And the boat!
When can I come and play for a bit?
Keep up the great work 🙏😎🤙🛻💨
That’s the coolest little truck ever. She’s premium!!
so much fun great episode !!!!
I want that thing soooo bad. Love the build.
This is so much fun. thank you guys
You can also fill shraeder valves with a rubber tipped blow gun. It works by blowing air past the valve. Also works to fill volleyballs and basketballs, needle not necessary
A Roll cage and tracks for next winter maybe, cool build. Smiles 😃 from Huntsville Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Fixing, off-roading and rolling over the 6X6 Mitsubishi and then jet boating in the pond. Just another day at Grind Hard Plumbing.
The greatest thing ever the Puddin’s fab shop sweater
If you take the valve core out it get more air in, which is very handy when trying to get the beads to grab.
Way to make your own white water! That mini boat runs great and looks like a blast to drive!
The music with the boat on the lake just perfect 😂👌🏻❤️
This is quite awesome. A really wide and flat bed half track would be swesome along with the option for 6x6. If you do a half track you could add skies maybe? Maybe find some old 50s farm truck with the curves and stuff and then stub nose the front, widen the body, chop the top, and then add a free flowing flat bed to it. Convertiable top would be quite sweet.
The barbie boat is wicked cool. Any kid should have one of them!
What a great project, nice to see.
What? No way! 😂 Awesome video!! Love this project and yeah the most awesome and useful project.
I've known the quarter inch female fitting works on a Schrader valve stem for 30 years😊
19:20
The pressure from your tank pushes in the Schrader valve. The valve stem pushes in the valve in your hose quick connector
Another great build and so Fun video. I Love you guys. 😁
Definitely a win for the team, Great job guys.
It seems like the goal of this channel is to make practical items less practical but cool. What you did with the mini truck is make it was more practical and cool. I have a feeling other people will be doing similar conversions. The truck has probably become the most useful tools for a farmer.
Ever considered some 'in the wild' content? Like going to a crowded boat ramp and launching the mini jet from the back of the 6x6 kei and looking for reactions?
As much as I love to watch the build, I also love to see you guys enjoy these wild projects
Amazing video guys....excellent content!!
