Captain, love the attitude, building for kicks and grins. My wife doesn’t understand at times. You ask the right question, not “why?” But “why not!” Every year I try to make something that makes no sense. Last year was converting a John Deere riding mower and turned it into a patriotic wheelie mower, including American Flag, cooler and no reason. The kids loved riding it around. This year I disassembled the wheelie mower to build a crazy train for the grand kids….
😂😂😂 I just had a mower given to me and I plan on making a cart for the kids. That's awesome
Laughing my arse off Mike. You Go. This project is worth following. 🛠🛠
Lol 😂
Im always excited for Sunday mornings....... Because I never know where the video is gonna take us...... And Thankfully you didn't hurt us today,
Have to keep you guessing!
An engineering marvel being made in front of our very own eyes !!! 😁
My level of expertise ended when you cut the steel to make the angle for the frame, that was about as much as I did way back when I left school and worked for a coachbuilders building truck bodies..... really enjoyed that job, but working outdoors had my name written all over it !!! 🤣
And a big thank you to Steve for passing on his impact wrench to you !!! 😁🤔👏
My expertise left at the same moment lol
This is an work of art coming together, keep going. So relaxing too watch.
Thanks Philip
Watching you just attempt something is good for the soul. If everyone would just try something they just where not comfortable with, it would be a better world. Thanks for the smiles Captain
Thank you for putting a smile on my face and a giggle, Love what you're doing your innovation your foresight is amazing I love it!!!😁
Thanks Gayle!
I'm having a hard time deciding if your videos are comedy, informational, drama or just over the top wonderful! Don't ever stop doing what you're doing!!!!
I'd also like to add inspirational to your list.
all these people taking things too seriously must be soooo fun at parties too! I love watching the videos... Literally how the other half builds things... trial, error, success...
Exactly Kim!
your welding has come a long way, and this is the perfect job to learn on
Thanks!
Twist lock, Subaru? Who knew? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. Rusty metal, gloves? How ingenious.
💪
Go low bro. Steve was the hero of this episode. good fun
I love it when you use words like aesthetically pleasing - it give me confidence the you know what you are talking about. Remember the third (or is it the second?) rule of Sodd, if it won’t go don’t force it- hit it with a bigger hammer. Have a nice day.
💪
This project is worth more as youtube gold than scraping ever could be. You just do what you want and I will continue to watch.
Thanks David!
Mike I love what you're doing. Total Marie Kondo technique. Get rid of what doesn't bring you joy. I laughed so hard that I had tears. Thanks.
Glad you're enjoying it!
does that dude have the rear frame or even just the rear axle from the ranger? oooo or that ranger front clip installed then figure out how to mount the dif from the subi in the middle (motor mounts maybe?) then see if you can get some scrap 4x4 parts for a ranger front end and hook it all up! 4x4 4 wheel steers awesomeness! WOOO sorry you got my creative juices flowing! cant wait to get a house to ill be able to get some projects like this going!!!
He only bought the front half. Said the whole truck wouldn't fit on his trailer 😂😂
You've got to show your welds when you first started compared to now, you have come on leaps and bounds, good work keep it up.
Thanks Martin
Mike be careful with that rust. It seems like most of the side by sides have quite a bit of clearance rear wheels. If you bring the frame to close you might have a problem with the 4 wheel steering.🫣🤭😱🛠🦾👍🤪
Mike, there are so many positives for leaving the frame at that height. (1) Replace the back tires with tracker tires, avoid rolling over those stumps plus plenty of clearance. (2) The bed will be even with the back window, so you can carry some extra long stuff without it hanging off the back of the bed (Push it through the window). (3) Reduce bending over when grabbing stuff out of the bed - chest height! (4) Plenty of room to work under the back side of the vehicle! I can go on and on (not)!
Remember, I'm sure Henry Ford started out the same way, maybe not with a Subaru! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Having fun doing it your way is always the best way in my opinion because if it doesn’t turn out right then there’s only one person to blame right. It’s all about having a little fun with a pile of something lol. Loving the videos. Have a great week!
Ha Ha! You were going all Camarata on that thing. I love it. Can’t wait to see the finished product
Lol
Your having fun and doing something you want to it’s your time your money and your enjoyment and your bringing us along for the fun ! To those that don’t see it for what it is maybe they need some coffee and doughnuts and to chill out !!
Thanks for the content :)

Captain you have got to 1. Name this beast 2. Run the exhaust up behind the cab like the Mack 3. Make sure you’re up to date on your tetanus shots.
That fabracobbling is great fun and good learning experience, as you said. Hope you were able to sell the catalytic converter. They are usually worth a couple hundred or more . This build is completely ridiculous! I love it!!!
Excellent video and attitude!! Do what you want how you want and don't be afraid to make mistakes along the way. It is a life lesson a lot of people missed out on. I am glad you are sharing it so freely.
Well Capn Kleeman, at 11:48 you aptly demonstrate that sometimes, nothing else will work but kicking the living tar out of your problem! Hats Off!
😂😂
Love to see your enthusiasm for the fun of the build. Never stop, it's what I look forward to each video!
Good video, enjoying the random. Wishing you and your family the best.
Always have fun here. Keep your great sense of humor w/o that we have nothing.
💪
Can’t wait to see this machine in action. No arrogance, pomp or ego just a great/fun video with excellent humour content and delivery ( as always ) Mike 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
💪
Carnac sees a tire repair in your future! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. Johnny Carson Show for you millennials. Look it up. CARnac, CARson? It's a sign?????
Definitely gonna be some tire repairs lol
Mike, this is a really cool project and one of my fav things to watch on TH-cam right now. Keep 'em coming'. PS. Love your commentary. It is getting better and better.
I’m lost, you had a perfect truck that you could have done the inside anyway you wanted, with a good frame. Then transfer the entire running gear from the Subaru to that vehicle and it would be 4 wheel drive. I’m watching your doing stay the corse. HAVE FUN 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Perfect truck? My man, it had no engine, no transmission, and, here's the big one, no back half 😂😂. Perfect truck eh
Hold on to that old driveline!!! In the off chance that you may want to lateral back to plan M? (AWD plan, whichever that was)
I am so jealous! You are doing real rocket surgery here, and if folks can't see that, well they need to go into politics or something. Hey, Brother Mike, there are REAL engineers who are impressed with your thought process...it ain't just us average Joes and Jills that recognize genius when we see it.
Top notch video too!!!
You're right, should definitely save it
Rolled that rear end up, propped it on a chair, and Viola! it's about finished...😁 Then I was thinking about how you're gonna' pay for all this 'restoration, rebuild' and Viola!. a catalytic converter.. You got this. Love the vids Mike. Keep them coming.
That's a sturdy chair lol
Why not unbolt old rear from rust a fab a new crossbeam an reuse old rear- all wheel drive would make it worth it- take care
Wheels !!!! Don't need no stinken wheels *** you know how much useless crap I have built over the years just because I could !!! And I had fun doing it. Think I'm going to build a mini excavator. You can buy the base already with tracks on it. And the swing table too !!! Don't need it but just want to build it !!! It's like building a better mouse trap. You got this Cpt 👍👍👍👍👍
Hey that would be awesome!!
Like the '4 Wheel Steer' idea mad but fun, always have a shut off valve to keep either end from steering like front wheel drive, rear wheel, likewise steer control front or rear. This is off the wall but also how about including in the plan to have a 'winch platform' on the rear end (Side x Side Tow Truck). Again mad but a fun thing. Man I could hide away playing with that project for weeks, months even, Enjoy Mike with the service you provide in the community and the way you are family first rightfully, you also deserve some 'Off the wall Happy Time'. All the best to you and the family including the absent dog, Stay Safe, Stay Well my friend.
Hey always appreciate ya watching Tony
Good thing this wasn’t on the trade up list!! Where did that Subaru come from? Northeast salt box!! When you get done with this, you are going to have fun, look out trees, Captain’s coming!!👍🇺🇸
Northeast Ohio! Lol
This better turn into something, I'm invested now!
You and me both!
Hrm.....Lower it, angle it in towards the current frame. Should look better and actually be a little stronger. In simple terms: Squares bad, triangles good! LOL. Sometimes you just need to do an un-needed project!
It's definitely a good time
Hey Mike, I like the thought of all wheel steer. Make sure your frame allows it. The higher frame might support a “bed” for hauling tools, etc. Have fun, looks great.
Mike the theme of this project is entertainment and you’ve delivered!
Maybe implement scrapwood/pallet wood between the C.A.D and Metal phase to aid in your ciphering./ visualization/ contemplation. You might end up with a good gauge/ template.
I think you're right lol.
It looks like something the Mujahedeen had cobbled together from old Soviet tractors. Obviously this is just a proof of concept but when the Kickstarter goes live I'm in. I'll have a blue one.
😂😂😂
Mike, you are crazy, but i like it! We all need some type of hobby, something we consider fun and entertaining. Thanks for sharing yours. I do enjoy watching and just maybe, that makes me a little crazy too!
Embrace the crazy!
This is starting to look like a song by Johnny Cash about a Cadillac. Innovative design. I think you have a mind like my own, someone MUST look at the alternative ideas.....
Lol
LMFAO. I have absolutely no idea what you're doing but, it's fun watching you do it. I'll wait patiently for the next episode in this series.
We are confused together
Love your optimism. Nothing a little bubble gum and baling wire wouldn't have fixed on the original rear end..... no reason to take it off the road....
😂😂
Hi Hi Captain. Greetings from wet wet Jamaica 🇯🇲. Wow let's go make a side by side 🤣🤣
💪
Put a front 4x4 axle with leaf springs on the back! You talking about zero turn,....that would do it. Lol
There ya go!
Hey Mike, since you're fabbing up frame rails, why not fab up a cradle to hang the Subaru axle back there?
Possible
🤣🤣Ya Captain that looks well you!! LOL 🤣🤣
Use your Subaru rear section with the rear sub section you built and delete the struts and get some Amazon coil overs set it up in right position you have potential for quit a lot of suspension travel ,you can also make your wishbone control arms or salvage some from a junk Yard ,don't give up on your 4 wheel drive
There ya go
I have nothing of value to offer on this one 🤣, but love the content. Fingers crossed this all works out. But, for as much as you are hacking off of that frame, I wonder if it would have been worth it to just build a new frame and mount the engine into that!
Lol it's getting close to that point!
I don’t really have anything to say but I know comments and 👍help your algorithm so here’s both!!
Thanks for the support!
Couple of patches and that subframe would have been good as new. You’re just too lazy to fix it.
Yup, that's definitely it 😂
Well, I will say you are creative. You crack me up. Thanks for sharing there Mike.
Hey thanks for watching
anyone know if this subaru is one of them that needs the center diff welded to be able to drive without the rear connected? I know when you convert some subarus to rwd for drifting, you have to lock the center diff to get the power sent to the rear when you remove the front cv shafts. I have no idea what models or year ranges that need modifications though. Just something to keep in mind if it don't move when all put back together.
I was wondering this same thing. A mechanic buddy of mine and myself were talking about this. Like you said, when I put it back together and it doesn't move, we will know why. Just have to cross that bridge when we get there.
Hey we always like your videos but I think the super row is kind of a waste of time there's enough used 4x4s out there that you can get for relatively cheap even golf carts are cheap you can convert them to gasoline engines can't swing a dead cat around here Florida without hitting a golf cart
If you don't get it, then you don't get it, And that's fine man. But don't mistake your confusion for a comment worth making 😉
a bit of work, you could make it 4 wheel steering as well
I don't care what anyone else thinks, I like your theory, lets have some fun. What could go wrong!
Exactly!
Every time i see one of those centi/millipedes walking with all those legs in perfect harmony, i laugh at how easy i can trip and fall with just two legs lol. If this never comes to fruition at least i got a couple laughs especially when you cruise on the commenters that take things way to seriously, keep it coming man.
I would be tripping over all 50 of my legs 😂
Happy it was not rotted out to much. I know you can fix it.
Captain thanks for sharing! You’re having fun! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Thanks for watching Kevin!
Orr ... Leave it high (with an angle change) and find the largest most ridiculous old tractor tires you can that will fit under there ...
Hey there ya go!
Did you ever grab that bench from DP’s equipment yard?
Lessons from this video:
CAD - Cardboard Aided Design
Why do you really need 4 wheel drive - when you can go for 4 Wheel Steering?
“Why not?”, you ask - Just look at the shirt!
At the end of the day… Always pick up your tool!
Did I capture the essence of the class syllabus?
Nailed it!
Ya might want to lower top rail so if ya put some kind of bed back there ya won’t need a ladder to put stuff in it- have fun. Take care
😂😂😂
Mike have you bumped your head recently? 😉
Often
@@CaptainKleeman as long as it's harder than what you're bumping it into. Love the content, we look forward to every video
just put some bigger back tires to fill the space
I wish I had room for one of those big round "tables" you're working on. Looks real handy.
I love it!
You're over thinking. Simple tube frame to tie everything together but it's your dog and it's fun to fab it together.
I'm thinking the same thing at this point. Would definitely make it easier.
Great project, Captn! :-) I woud propose to try and use the Subary rear end parts, so that you get 4wd. Since you will need to do some fabrication anyway, maybe you can find a way to attach the diff directly to the frame, and the trailiang arms and struts are already there... ? Just a suggestion! :-)
Fun video Mike reminds me of the time dad told me to either do something with that s#!%box or get rid of it well Mike you're doing something 😀
Exactly! Hahaha
Captain if I upgrade my impact sockets I'll send you my old ones.
Just bought some but thank you!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Your running commentary is priceless. Love what your doing here
Thanks mike
Or you could leave it like that and slap some monster truck tires on the back.. Just sayin.. 🤣
😂😂
And again where are those gloves when you need them. 😂
I love watching, and listening to you as you work on any of your jobs or projects😁
Thanks Ruth
This is more fun than watching the three stooges.
OMG at 4:30 that is amazing to see how bad it is. In the UK we have to have a inspection/test each year! I love the C.AD. reference with the cardboard lol.
Damn that thing is rusted like i never seen before. i see why you took it out of service. Good job on the build.
Thanks!
Proper use of tools always helps the project.
My friend Steve sent me this video. Now I am hooked!!! Can't wait to see it finished.
Hey welcome to the channel!
Captain your next caption on your shirt should say “ it doesn’t have to make sense”
Love it!
Great save at the end capturing one of those elusive tape measures before it disappears to wherever it is that all tape measures go.
Probably close to where 10mm and 1/2” sockets go.
you are such a great guy and have some hilarious quips .... like the water bottle toss because water wont stick to paint ..... like I said hilarious
Not giving up on the 4 wheel drive so fast with an off road vehicle and the custom built sub frame.
I think where things when rongly is at ~18:34. I think you should have used the white chair. 🤔
😂😂
🤠 Excellent, well done Mike. I love these type of videos - Tim
Hey Cap!! On the bright side, the welds look great 👍 lol.
Thanks Darrin!
I love it, maybe you just need 50'' tires on the back. lol
Hey there ya go!
My only disappointment with this project is that I’ll never get to drive it .
Lol
Hello🙋♂️ from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 Kleeman Family 👨👩👧👧.
mike I think you've been watching the channel of "Donn DIY" too much haha .
he really makes the most fantastic things out of simple steel
thanks for the video Captain 👨🚒 Kleeman .
Sincerely, Hollandduck 🇳🇱🦆
New name for the chariot… Squirrel Smasher 😂😂
😂
Seems to me that the only thing holding the rear end on was that carrier bearing. Have fun.
Seems that way!
THAT thing is lookin SWEET! i dig it lol
Heck yeah!
did the STRIPPER DISK come with the POLE ??? hahahah
😂😂
