i bet Ethan could build a better chan lee with the scrap in the woods and it would look prettier
Yes its the like the chang li all over again
I said before and will say again, Will and Edwin need to have shirts that say "SKETCH MOTURS".
Perfect Idea; Take the Chang Li and the Change Lii and 1 person. Then do a Premium Gear (Top Gear) challenge type episode. Have the 2 cars compete against a person in like a 100 meter dash or race to the top of a hill. Call the Person competing "Chang Lee". I would love this.
How did you guys bend that rear hub? You didn't tell us how that happened. You must have hit something really hard.
The "We broke it." followed by "Yeah, I know. That's pretty apparent." in the most disappointed dad way possible had me rolling.
That was hilarious.
Ethan loves shitting on the chang lee
I love how these guys seem so happy and love this vehicle so much even though is insanely unpractical once u factor in shipping costs, and you need to change out seemingly half the car to even make it 5 miles without it breaking 😂
its obvious that half of the crew doesnt like these 100 mile challenges with changli's.
MAKE SEVENTEEN MORE MINI BOATS INSTEAD
I was literally about to comment about that very same part - Hilarious from Ethan
*me watching this snowy content in 110+ degree weather
Lol I just made a similar comment
Right😂
Right, like, is this recent? Is this June in Idaho?
Right tho summer over here in Minnesota watch there vid snow in the ground
Yo I'm literally sweating my ass off watching this😂😂😂😂 Texas baby
Guys, do us a big favour, and get a $20 carbon monoxide detector for the Chang Lee. The CO should all vent via the exhaust, but you have to factor in that Will installed the heater, plus the possibility of it snowing overnight and blocking the exhaust just might lead to exhaust creeping into the cabin. We don't want to lose you, and I'll send you the $20 if it makes a difference.
Seriously...
It's a diesel heater, not gasoline. Diesel and kerosene produce 20 times less CO than gas. I would be more worried about the gasoline generator they keep running to top up their battery.
When I started driving semi's in 1990, we had diesel bunk heaters by Espar eberspacher.
I dont see a problem here...
@@Geekn4sty❤
Chang Li's are like adult power wheels 😂
If you have a farm road, good training for kids to learn how to drive.
@@asertakids who live on farms are gonna be learning in tractors😂
@@maxbowen6482 Farm kids don't drive, they grow up bangin' livestock!
@@SLIMMY93instead of just dogs like u? 😂
@@maxbowen6482and 30 year old pickups
When you going to do the second challenge with the beefed up Chang Lee? Maybe you should run them together... with a few Power Wheel builds.
Yes this
YESS
yessssss
12:50 ❤ “technically there is wood between you guys.p” I was just thinking that. 😅
Thats what she said. 😂 literally
the thought of them both spooning was funny enough, the wood between them, i nearly laid an egg, and wee'd
She's definitely a keeper lmao, good for Will!
Ethan in the background is the most hilarious thing! How is he always just out of frame with the sarcasm 😅😅😅
I'm a truck driver, we use those heaters in our sleepers. And yes, they do smoke outside like that . Perfectly normal.
Yup. It's always a good idea to run it in atmo for at least 3... 4 hours before actually installing it to let it vent out. Even the quality ones do the same, unless the booklet specifically says that they were pre-heated before being shipped, which some of the top brands in this business do. Decent units for what they do. As long as you feed them clean fuel and clean the guts once a year, they last a ton. I've fitted three on my brother's older farm equipment that never came with factory heating.
the 100 foot challenge!😂😂
We need the 100 mile challenge. Put batteries in old changli and do it!
That would be to "easy"😁
yeah no that's weird I don't know why they just don't do both cars
At this rate Will is going to be the nation's most knowledgeable Chang Li specialist by the end of the year
oh i think he's there already
and to be honest if he and his antics don't add fuel to sales, i don't know what else
Places you cant even walk 😂
Vehicles that don't even work
@@mostlymotorized bro, do you just go around leaving hate everywhere you go? Let people like what they like, if you're not a fan if this stuff, skip watching it and wait for another video or go watch something else, you don't have to be such a tw@t about it.
And??? @@mostlymotorized
I don’t even try to walk
I've tried to walk in places similar to those but couldn't :(
lol, I love Ethan's absolute unbelief in this entire endeavor.
Based.
disbelief is the word unbelief is based on religion. unless you mean we pray to premium..
"If we bent the axle what are we gonna do... or should we just assume we didn't..." "Just assume we didn't.." "yeah, that's smart.... " as Ethan walks away laughing. This whole episode had me laughing my ass off.
It's a Will and Edwin project. Those are always the most hilarious.
I like how you can see the angle iron under the Chang Li isn't straight when they show it flipped over. 0:44
"Only looks matter in the Chang Li lifestyle ". The greatest comment ever..
You guys should do the 100 mile challenge with both Chang Li’s, maybe have tools and parts in the original
With the diesel heater exhaust, you should call this the Cheech and Chang-Li
The constant roasting is the best part of these videos
I love both sides of this channel. Ethan and his creativity and skillful builds mixed with dad vibes. And Will and Edwins pure optimistic enthusiasm
OMG these two wholesome dweebs kill me. So excited: “we’re regenning!” 😂❤
Man...i thought I'd seen it all until the big brother Chang Li came around 😂🤦♂️
I love how these guys seem so happy and love this vehicle so much even though is insanely unpractical once u factor in shipping costs, and you need to change out seemingly half the car to even make it 5 miles without it breaking 😂
YES! More Chang Li content! I don't know why I'm so obsessed with these things and Kei Trucks, but I'm obviously not the only one. Places you can't even walk boys!
It's because you're paid to leave comments like this
@@mostlymotorized I wish dude...
That's exactly what I would say if I was paid to leave comments like this
Mini cars are just the best!
@@mostlymotorized do you know where one would go to get paid to leave comments on social media platforms? I've seen people claiming comments be paid shills for years but I've never seen any of these jobs advertised anywhere. It doesn't sound like a company would get a great return on investment if I'm honest.
Not doubting it happens, I'm sure "social media managers" actually do stuff like that to prop up brands and manufacture hype & buzz.
@12:45 Good one, Katie.
I absolutely love the dynamic between you all. Such a joy to watch!
FYI if you ever have to do another Lexan windshield,,, paint it from the inside surface. It will turn out shiny and alot less likely to chip the paint off from road/trail degree 😉 I know you're probably not extremely worried about that, but that's how we always did our race car windows. 😁 Anyways another great video!
👍🏼
I see an immediate need for a 3rd ChangLi....turned into an off road recovery ChangLi😂
Throw a winch on the front, better for trail recovery`s.
i think with that heater on board, i hot air balloon might be more apt, certainly assist in doing more miles, air miles
and you definitely cannot walk there
Get a comalong (manual winch) to pull you out when you get high centered.
i think a simple addition to the centre hubs, convert them into winches, one on each corner
That ad spot was so well done🔥 10/10 strategy
Edwin and Will..you guys gotta make this more than a 100 mile challenge..make it a competition. Does Ethan think any of his creations would make it 100 miles off-road ?
Dents? That was the 1st strutuctural test in the rollover category! Sheeeee!
They need Ethan 😂 will and Edwin building anything just doesn't go right 😂
It's great seeing them learn though. They're definitely getting better.
I can't wait to watch this go places you can't even walk!
Second day of summer watching a snow video really threw me of 😂 Gotta love the magic of car TH-cam with the Bois ❤
I wish you guys uploaded most videos a week then ever Friday.
Seriously, this is the best channel on youtube
i feel like this one should be called the Li Chang ... to avoid confusion 😅
How many cupholders does it have?
My new favorite thing is will just running every time he has to do pushups 😂😂😂
Why does he have to do the push ups? Like when did it start 😂😂
I had noticed that Chang Li in some of the other videos I've watched. I was curious about it seeing it in the background. and now I know for sure it looks like a Lincoln Navigator from the front. it's definitely faster than the other Chang Li. and the damage it received from the forklift. should be pretty easy to repair being it's really thin metal. I'm still wanting to see more of the old chang Li now that it's four wheel drive.
Did Will just hook up an EV battery the way i hook up car speakers?
Just twisting them together and then wrapping them in electrical tape? 😂
OMG... best line ever... "technically, there is WOOD between you guys" LMFAO
I'm loving the Chang Li builds! They are for sure adult power wheels
Can you guys do 100 miles on normal road to see how difficult it is 😂 would love to watch it haha
So, do you get a discount from it being dropped off the fork lift?
I'd be demanding some kind of compensation for sure
Im dying inside laughing at Ethan and his pure and utter hatred for the Chang Li
Critical thinking isn't hatred.
The exasperation in your voice "Yea, I know." 20:40 LMAO
I just love Ethans loud comments (and rants) from the background when he disagrees with what will/edwin says😂
These guys are so fun to watch..
Help stepbro I’m stuck in my changlee 😂
😂
Hearing you guys talk about bending the Chang Lee axel reminded me of when I was an apprentice at Ford Product Development (UK). I was working with a fitter doing chassis distortion test on a 40,000lb dump truck. We jacked up one corner till the opposite wheel was at the point of lifting off the ground, and measured points along the chassis rails to see how much it twisted. At one point the jack slipped off the front beam-axil onto the track-rod, and bent the begezus out of it. I thought we would be in trouble but the fitter removed the track rod and straightened it with the press. We put it back on the truck and said nothing about it. Your half shaft is going to be made of harder steel than a track-rod, and is much more likely to break if you put it under a press, but it might be worth a try.
1:55 gotta love shitt.. i mean, shipping people and their care and attention, dedication to being excellent with someone else's money.
$1800 before or after it got dropped? Lol 😅
Delivery company: "We are calling to apologise, we seriously damaged your vehicle and have contacted our insurance to organise a replacement"
GHPC: "No, it's fine"
The new Chang Li spare tire cover almost looked crazy at first glance 😂
After a clip of that ..box bouncing off normal tire marks like a ping-pong ball, "This has even better suspension than the old one!"
To get a grip: Pull out the stock tires from the stock wheels. Drill 5mm holes in center of every nub you have on the thread, or optionally, 40 holes in four rows 120 in total per tire, overlapping holes so that none of them is in line will give the best result. Insert 35-45mm M6 bolt with 20mm flat washers on both sides and a regular nut. Tight the nut and weld a tap for every nut. This is why no nylocks, the weld is the only way. Can't weld it fully around, this will both burn the tire and ruin the bolt. Just a small tap, with a rapid cool down via compressed air. Add a strip of leather/rubber inside the tire to line those bolt heads, glue it in place with flex seal. You can use an inner tube, but the flex seal and lining should hold too. for maximum grip, screw the tire to the wheel through the bead lip with 15mm long 5-6 mm core thickness screws. Air the tire down, and you can run the Chang-Li up a snowy mountain side and through mud and roots. Bolt tires hold on rocks too for a while until the bolts wear out.
24 Seconds!!!
Gay
What constructive thoughts
That’s awesome, proud of you for finally coming out kiddo.
You need to make a lift kit.The frame sits too low. Straighten the axle on the press.
Maybe change it to a 10 mile challenge. 😂😂😂
I really like the mix of fast paced swindle brothers vids and then slow Ethan fab that gets nerdy and artistic. Keep it up!
Don’t be discouraged boys, don’t let Dad bring you down😂👏 I’ve been watching these gents antics and builds for years and I absolutely love this channel! Lots more please👏
25:41 Schrodinger's axel states that until you check if the axel is bent it is neither bent nor straight
Y’all should take them both on a 100 mile challenge at the same time and see which one goes farther
Love all your projects! Keep on keeping on!!!
really enjoyed this one, the banter is as strong as the shonkiness on the car! 20-30 min vids for the win!
My absolute favorite episodes of your channel are these Jank-Li episodes! I love it!
I appreciate the level of detail & well thought out process. 👍
I think it’s a nice change to see will like getting after a project and making sure it’s done then to rush into it and it breaks before it’s complete he’s evolving
I think you should take both the Changi Li's, and Ethan takes the Colonel!
"World sketchiest car-like contraption predictably breaks before testdrive"
never stop with the chang lee's, never stop
That safety glass is alot of fun to peel out when it's embedded in your face and scalp, but supose it beats getting your throat slit with windshield when you get ejected...
mount e small winch you can attack front and back if you need :)
The Grind Soft boys are at it again while Ethan's just back there casually carrying the channel
I have one of the diesel heaters installed in my Gator, I love the clickety-clack noise they make
Seeing yet another Chang Li to hit the shop just brightened my day. What a beauty!
100 Miles or bust!
It would be pretty cool to see you guys take the motor from the solo car and put it on this chang li SUV. It would be so fast lmao 🤣
I'm surprised no 🛵 scooter or motorcycle company has built a vehicle similar the 3 wheel Solo ...I think if I could build the vehicle. I have envisioned in my mind. That I could sell a bunch of them. Since it wouldn't look dorky, would be fun to drive & could be drove daily year round like a car but get 75+ mpgs.
7:12 Wow that’s so awesome, a diesel heater😮
Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it.
I've been waiting for this 100 mile challenge for ages. I can't wait!
Edwin calmly giving the OnX spiel while Stephen is bouncing around the cab😂😂😂
I think it should be taking both of them on the off-road challenge so if the "stock" one gets stuck can pull it out
Do the 100 miles in tandem, send both Chang Lis out together :D
i agree - its an off road rule, don't do it alone, you can then recover each other
but i did just add else where, with the heater on board, i think a hot air balloon built into the roof - air miles and you can't walk there so check check
I love these mini car explorations !
Wow... I am super impressed with the durability of this chang lee, I love that it billows smoke like spike lee
The windshield will work until you turn the wipers on with a lilttle dirt on it and it's scratched all to mess. Seen it happen on offroad jeeps. They also warp sitting out in the sun during summer.
This has been my favorite series by far. Let's see some miles
I build custom Mercedes camper vans in SLC, UT and we install those heaters in all our vans.
hope you get a co2 safety meter for that heater
Oh god this just keeps getting better :D Loving the vastly increased battery capacity, did you upgrade the motor too, and was I just too stoned to notice?
Love the diesel heater . I got one in my van but it’s a big one and it cooks me lol . But you gotta do the 100 miles with both of the chain lees
You guys should look into getting an engine from a Honda ST1300. 1300cc V4 made to be longitudinal and shaft drive. Would look awesome seeing ITBs poking through the hood of your viperkart body. I feel like it's an engine that would package nicely in a build of yours
Might want to get an A/C machine to properly recover the refrigerant before the epa fines you for releasing to the atmosphere.
you might consider connecting the positive leads first, and the negative last. Usually doesn't spark at all and if it does, it's much less harsh.
Their excitement about Chang-Li’s is everything dude lol
I just love the Will and Edwin stuff! Waiting for the challenge video!
Those heaters smoke for awhile when new, and if it starts smoking again the heating element needs to be cleaned or the diesel injector is clogged
there needs to be a change li power wheels, speaking of power wheels, i'm putting a go kart engine in a power wheels jeep, i'm posting it on my youtube channel that i'm trying to grow. you guys inspired me to make it
:) WOW! Stumbled across this and HAD to WATCH and say OMG! WELL DONE indeed! ! ! Had NO idea :) ALL the BEST and Cheers ! ! ! !
