My God ... this is what happen when off road n hot rod enthusiast created their own race car : hot ultra rod. He build by his hand n passion. Just amazing.
Thank you Mr Chen for bringing us the the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes. I love both rat rods, and Ultra 4's, and great fabrication. Thank you Mr Chen for taking the time to give us these perfectly photographed glimpses of automotive hope. And to the builder: You are right to be proud, this is awesome!
I love autofocus just because you are a great host, not loud and annoying. You see awesome vehicles and integrate photography. As an amateur photographer/car nut. This is one of my favorite shows on TH-cam.
Tim thanks for contacting them to help share such an awesome machine!! As a machinist I appreciate all of the finite detail and extremely clean fitments and parts! The Diamond T is a rare find as far as I know so that makes this build even better!! Awesome awesome work on the build and this video!!!
what a great guy and interview. He was so enthusiastic and chill about his amazing build he just accomplished with amazing skills. So much fun when the creator actually still loves his creation.
As someone who has followed speedhunters for like 10 years, and watching pretty much exclusively car content on youtube/instagram etc, I dont say this lightly - This is probably the coolest build/car/truck I have ever seen. The mix of old and new is insane, and I want it.
This car has so much style and personality, awesome just seeing those original brass fittings sitting so comfortable with all the modern suspension parts.
What is insane to me is this guy is literally 20 mins for me, and I had no idea that people make incredible stuff like this around me. Amazing what people int these little towns can create..true artist
This is basically Larry discovering cool things about this awesome build, and the builder trying to play it cool like it is no big deal.. this is a great build with amazing details!
With a background in professional Motorsports and a few trips to Baja 1000, truly appreciate all the craftsmanship in this beast. He’s so humble. Thanks for sharing this with us.
What a fantastic build thanks Larry for geeking out about it and not leaving out the details, Jay Leno would love it because he loves that level in project cars.
This is one of the coolest uses for a diamond T I have ever seen. Steve Darnell did one that was pretty badass, but I think this might Trump his. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is absolutely phenomenal and I love the function over form. I can't believe the way the cab is sealed and keeping as much dust out as it does what a spectacular build and I am so impressed.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍😄
Nathan matas, Steve Darnell has built more than one Diamond T. Checkout his TH-cam channel from the days before Vegas Rat Rods even started...he sure knows how to build them right. I agree with you, too, this one is also phenomenal.
This think blew my mind, you could tell this was a labor of love build too. I don’t think we will ever see another truck as creative and well thought out like this one. I’m 33 and I want a poster of this on my wall in my bed room!
One guy does so much with a vehicle and creates something special. I know car manufactures can and do make some special vehicles but I just wish they would cease with the boring and mundane and do things like this. This Diamond T is amazing. Awesome build!
This guy looks like Jaime Kennedy's COOL older bro. What a sweet build, I like the window pop out. Getting rid of the glass in my honda build and was trying to think of something similar to this, but decided to go window nets in the front only on a Florida weekend toy. Cool things like this are the best builds, so unique. Thanks Larry for spotlighting another great build.
If it hasn’t happened already, someone is going to offer him an ABSOLUTELY OBSCENE amount of fun tickets for that super-functional work of art. There are “custom” builders getting 150k-250k for vehicles that don’t come anywhere close to this level of imagineering, execution, performance, and jaw dropping cool factor. If I hit the lottery today I would make an offer SO stupid...... well, you get the picture. Pardon my drool puddle.
Holy Sh!te !!! This M-Fer built this S.E.M.A. winner worthyness in his part time schedule. What can he dream, build, execute if he was doing this full time. Amazing build, intention to details, & craftsmanship..... awesome !!! & giving credit to his bride for being an understanding wife. My wife would kill me !!!
Wow, so glad you brought this to us. What an amazing build and such a nice guy! There was an old iron 4400 car that i believe had a dodge power wagon body on it I saw both in the pits and out on the course the day of the race. It was a solid axle car, however.
what a well worded, genuine, authentic thank you from the host and the builder too, young guys, with small kids at home, finding time to do what they love and share it with us. much appreciated, keep up the great work. good bless your families, yourselves and your work.
This might be my favorite build I've ever seen. Super clean and well thought out. Might have opted for a supercharger over the turbo but that's just personal preference. I grew up dirt biking in the desert and this has just given me some serious future goals lol.
absolutely loved every bit and everything about this. amazing build, beautiful just beautiful. i had smile on my face through the whole length of the video. 3 cheers to Tim and thanks to hoonigan for bringin it to us .
Beautiful work. When he talks about thinking things out and using 1 bracket for multiple things. U can see the whole truck was blue printed in his head.
It would be so cool if someone made aftermarket skins for fabs like this to work off of. The style of some of these old machines are the best and as far as I know, they aren't available.
if this was recorded on a GoPro you need a wind cover on the camera, and turn off wind cancellation or voices will echo when it's windy. this seems to be a big problem with the new 7s and 8s. great build, great video, larry you're the best.
these rigs lead the way. I drive first generation of gmt400.. never changing a thing about IFS. By chance my dad (42 years trucking) called me while watching this, I was telling him about the diamond T cab. Interesting for nearly everybody.
How lucky I am to live just down the street from Vice Unlimited. Tim Odell is a magician with metal and a welder. His mind and ambition are simply AMAZING!!!! Also just to note that Fab Fours has a truck called Kymera, I watch Tim build the entire Kymera. Tim chopped the top, built the chassis, fitted the engine and drive train, wired it the whole nine yards but fab fours says “ yeah we built this blablabla but I am an eye witness to Tim Odell making all the parts for the Kymera and building it.
I’m from the 2wd Dezrt camp and will always love me some dirty Hooker I-beam travel....., but wow. This rig is something next level. I hope this guys shop has trust fund kids trippin over themselves to cut this cat a check. Slick pretty truck brother! I hope you pass me in the woops someday in Barstow. I’ll try and chase you down to give you the hi-5 you deserve. Also to get a deal on some AN hardware.

The work in that build is impressive. The steering, is awesome. Much less the dash is amazing!
Wheeled with this guy at off road expo
I gotta say, that’s the baddest vehicle I’ve see on autofocus so far. I’m in love with that truck.
Simply gorgeous piece of art and machinery cobined
Imakulate agreed. I’m trying to outsource some custom fabrication and I’m going to build a 1/10 scale similar to that truck using a Power wagon body.
Me too👍
That man is a hell off a Fabricator very impressive
He’s a man on a mission.
@@Mrimnotfluffy I liked how he said anyone can do this bull shit
@@trapra5727 well.... yes.....with unlimited money
Thanks man
@@giovannidesimmeo5276 No no, he put his sweat and blood into this, one piece at a time, as he could afford it. Believe me I know him :)
I love that Larry appreciates all different kinds of builds and finds all the little details that makes these builds extra unique.
This is like jeepers creepers the movie meets baja. I love it
My God ... this is what happen when off road n hot rod enthusiast created their own race car : hot ultra rod. He build by his hand n passion. Just amazing.

Consistently great content Larry. What an astounding vehicle and the owner comes across as such a humble guy with amazing talent.
This is basically Larry discovering cool things about this awesome build, and the builder trying to play it cool like it is no big deal.. this is a great build with amazing details!
I’ve never seen a better fab job. I am blown away by this build. Great job.
With a background in professional Motorsports and a few trips to Baja 1000, truly appreciate all the craftsmanship in this beast. He’s so humble.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
having a 20 year long Motorsports background as well I can only second this. this build is very professionaly done!
His metal work is so incredible. The blend of old and new is so immaculate. Masterpiece for sure.
What a fantastic build thanks Larry for geeking out about it and not leaving out the details, Jay Leno would love it because he loves that level in project cars.

This reminds me of something Darnell would have built but a bit more refined
Wonderful work.
Wonderful video.
Thank you
This think blew my mind, you could tell this was a labor of love build too. I don’t think we will ever see another truck as creative and well thought out like this one. I’m 33 and I want a poster of this on my wall in my bed room!
One of my top 4 on the channel to date.
One guy does so much with a vehicle and creates something special. I know car manufactures can and do make some special vehicles but I just wish they would cease with the boring and mundane and do things like this. This Diamond T is amazing. Awesome build!
I love the old school look . You've got talent no doubt. And the fact you can drive that on the street,priceless.
This guy looks like Jaime Kennedy's COOL older bro. What a sweet build, I like the window pop out. Getting rid of the glass in my honda build and was trying to think of something similar to this, but decided to go window nets in the front only on a Florida weekend toy. Cool things like this are the best builds, so unique. Thanks Larry for spotlighting another great build.
A master at his craft for sure. That thing is badass
The craftmanship on this race car is absolutely beautiful !
This is the best channel that hoonigan offers.

& giving credit to his bride for being an understanding wife.
My wife would kill me !!!
When I saw the thumbnail I tried to click so fast I opened the wrong window, twice! This is the best thing I've seen in 2020.
Wow, so glad you brought this to us. What an amazing build and such a nice guy! There was an old iron 4400 car that i believe had a dodge power wagon body on it I saw both in the pits and out on the course the day of the race. It was a solid axle car, however.
Getting serious Mad Max vibes from it! Absolutely awesome!
thats an insane one man's build.... just insane, and attention to details and how it actually drives...
Super cool Build thanks again Larry & crew for sharing
I've always liked Diamond T pickups. This is now my favorite one, and it won't be topped.
What a cool build, Tim O'Dell has some serious skills plus a great eye for detail, a great insight on a really superb and functional build.
Nigel19 thanks man
That is probably the coolest thing I've seen in my entire life. That's it. I don't know if it can be beat. That thing is flat out AMAZING.
yes hoonigan in 4K at last. mahalo larry!!
what a well worded, genuine, authentic thank you from the host and the builder too, young guys, with small kids at home, finding time to do what they love and share it with us. much appreciated, keep up the great work. good bless your families, yourselves and your work.
Probably the best Ultra4 I ever laid my eyes on! And the builder is super cool guy.
Thank you for showing us your truck, it’s the sickest ultra 4 I’ve seen
This is my, "if money were no object" vehicle. I would drive this on the daily.
This might be the coolest truck I've ever seen. So much style mixed with function
Was out all week at koh. Hands down one of the best builds
3 Hoonigan videos in one day? Bless me some more, pls.
I would love to have a poster of that truck. Its the best build I've ever seen. Great work and dedication to your craft.
This guy should sell these! This is one of the coolest vehicles I’ve ever seen in my whole life!
IMO this channel is better than the main Hoonigan channel.
This might be my favorite build I've ever seen. Super clean and well thought out. Might have opted for a supercharger over the turbo but that's just personal preference. I grew up dirt biking in the desert and this has just given me some serious future goals lol.
absolutely loved every bit and everything about this. amazing build, beautiful just beautiful. i had smile on my face through the whole length of the video. 3 cheers to Tim and thanks to hoonigan for bringin it to us .
I am beyond impressed. More Potential projects to add to my future todo list. Mad respect bro
Thank you for your time and efforts in making these videos
I appreciate the women who support their men in their automotive passion!
That build is beautiful! The fit and finish on that thing is amazing.
What an awesome vehicle! Thanks for sharing! 👍
Thats a brutal masterpiece!!!It looks like a spider running,with all that suspension moving up and down!!!
now that is an amazing build thank you for the video of it wow I am blown away I wish my 2008 Tacoma could do that
🤯 Mind Blown! The craftsmanship and attention to detail is art-level. What a machine! 😍
Thank you Larry for this awesome video!
Very cool build and cool builder too, the fact that he did all himself is just incredible
Some of the best car content for car guys in existence!
Beautiful work. When he talks about thinking things out and using 1 bracket for multiple things. U can see the whole truck was blue printed in his head.
This dude is so talented. The small details are so cool.
That is the coolest thing on 4 wheels! So much performance and artistry crammed together!
My favorite featured vehicle on Autofocus so far!
What a fantastic mind to create such an beautiful piece of machinery. Bravo!
Being from NC I love how he's like yeah it's street legal and it reminds me why I love this state
This is beautiful. This man should be proud.
It would be so cool if someone made aftermarket skins for fabs like this to work off of. The style of some of these old machines are the best and as far as I know, they aren't available.
if this was recorded on a GoPro you need a wind cover on the camera, and turn off wind cancellation or voices will echo when it's windy. this seems to be a big problem with the new 7s and 8s. great build, great video, larry you're the best.
Such an amazing truck and a great guy!!! Shout-out to all the awesome women out there that let us run wild in the desert! 😂
Saw this truck in person yesterday morning at a local Cars & Coffee. It is beyond amazing.
My dream rig... the craftsmanship is superb!
these rigs lead the way. I drive first generation of gmt400.. never changing a thing about IFS. By chance my dad (42 years trucking) called me while watching this, I was telling him about the diamond T cab. Interesting for nearly everybody.
That guy is an artist!! Absolutely inspiring!!
Thats the coolest looking machine I have ever seen!
This is some next level craftsmanship right here! Quality work. Lovely to see :D
This is a great video Larry! I love this rig. So many cool rigs to see at KOH.
Buddy of mine is building one of these from the ground up. Insane!
LARRY you need a ultra4 pre runner vintage FJ ! How sick would that be. Chase all the races anywhere. Baja KOH everything
That thing is very beautiful and very well built. Congratulations. what a beautiful photograph
Probably my 5th time watching this through. This is my favorite build. I love all of the builds Larry features. But this is my favorite
So many cool details on that truck... But the steering rack through the fuel cell? Now that's insane!
Insanely cool, very very good fabrication too, overall one of the most badass trucks on the planet.
I love the music that you put along side of the great shots of this one of a kind vehicle. keep the awesome content coming!!
I saw this at SEMA glad to see it here and get some info about the build
One badass off-road truck and a totally awesome video !!!! TOTALLY AWSOME ENGINEERING!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Needed this back in 27
This is the most badass thing I've ever seen
How lucky I am to live just down the street from Vice Unlimited. Tim Odell is a magician with metal and a welder. His mind and ambition are simply AMAZING!!!!

That is one sweet custom build! 👍👍
THIS IS WHY I LOVE CARS DO WHAT YOU WILL
Drop dead gorgous car. Love the concept and the execution. Once again thanks for sharing.
That dash is pretty sweet.
This is my favorite build on your channel. Soo RAD!
One of the coolest off road cars I have ever seen. Nice Job Tim!!!
~jw
That is one good looking ride! Way to go on the build!
This is one of my favourite creation of 2019 (?), found out about it on Instagram & I instantly fall in love with this project!
