"Military Grade", more of a warning than durability claim...
Built by the Lowest bidder to minimum standards.
Hey, it lasted through a hell of a lot of abuse in it's life, being run hard by a bunch of 18 year olds over rough roads on some godforsaken hell hole, like North Carolina or some shit.
@@russetwolf13 This... also have you seen how drivers fuck around with these things :D Just few days ago saw video of truck coming full speed to emergency stop, windows being open and several rifles sticking out, unloading everything forwards and then speeding off...
With that statement I must say, thanks for your service
Or in the russian case, low build quality but easily replaceable.
Dom's face is priceless when he sees the missing wheel.
And it was awfully dark for 12pm. lol
Hopefully it didn't go through somebody's windshield. They wouldn't have a face anymore.
Lmao
i was dead when i saw his face.
it does not become AM until 12:01 which is kinda strange.
his face though. -,.,-
Just starting watching this guy and one thing that I have notice is that no matter what happens during his adventures, he seems to stay so positive and happy and laughs everything off. This guy is great
Dude, the fact that you were busting up laughing after the engine spewed it's oil everywhere, Westen you're living life if you can just laugh that all off😂
Westen, I can't believe you fell for that, "Someone is coming to pick it up tomorrow" line. Especially for an old Army truck!
Oldest trick in the book.
😆😁😆😁
Oh yeah I definitely have a guy coming to pick up an old Vietnam era military truck they're in high demand apparently.
HERPY DERPEDY XD
@@bryanmartinez6600 lol
That look on Dom’s face when the wheel is missing! Priceless!
I pray that it did not end up in somebody's windshield.
Lost a tandem drive wheels and drove over a hour with a funny vibration to get to the shop 4 of us looked for 2 days never found anything
I’ve had similar looks on my face for the same reason. Lost my fair share of wheels off equipment .
Yeppers!
Surf Manx let’s play a game of “What’s wrong with this picture?”
2:32 “and heavier than dons and mines last girlfriend” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can we just talk about how "This is sounding like a worse idea the more I talk about it....SOOOO I'm not going to talk about and just do" is a mood guys experience daily like myself.
You should do some vlog style vids about building a shop
I like to se the building of the shop
This is a great idea I’d like to see! Think you should do this and include some of the tools you buy for your jobs and do a review on them, give pointers when buying things for your shop like Lifts
Yes please
Matthew Scott absolutely
There a scammer using westen name an picture on FB. I got screen shots of the fake ass doing it
This dude is living all of my childhood dreams one by one 😁
Yeah I agree
Saaaaaaammmme
Hay at least somone got to😃
Me toon
Same here
The ol there’s another guy on his way trick
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
“ even the hood is leaking oil”. Funniest non stoned thing I’ve ever heard...subscribed!!!!!
This looked like a job for the peterbelt
Truck power wasn't an issue, trailer needs is
@@iamthecheese2737 20,000lb load, that 1 ton wasn't rated for that much weight behind it
Guner Kacz bruh the new ford 1tons are rated for 40kpounds
@@gunerkacz8678 While I'm not 100% positive of that particular trucks specs (Clifford), 1 ton duallys are generally in the range of 32,000 lbs/16 tons. Clifford is far more than capable of hauling a 5 ton truck. Even in the video, it's the trailer that failed, not Clifford.
@Duca, it's easier to hunt deer with rocket launchers too, but that doesn't make it practical. So easier, yes, but not required. His truck was more than capable of hauling it. The trailer failed. That trailer with a tractor would've still failed. Why use a tractor when a 1 ton dually would've more than sufficed? Not to mention insurance and requirements to run a tractor trailer are much higher and uses more fuel, than to just take a pickup more than capable for the need. (Semis, yes even Peterbilts, are slower to get going too, even bobtailing they're slower than a 1 ton)
Everyone that sells vehicles: “You better hurry, there’s another buyer coming tomorrow”
Westen: but the ac works! i know right!
Oldest trick in the book
Sounds cliche until it happens. I bought my 2000 blazer while a guy walks in behind me asking about it. Mine, haha. Mine.
Ive done it, it works very well.
No military trucks sell extremely fast. They never last i have been watching them for a little while.
When your so tired you just laugh at anything 🤣😂 9:38
That’s the sound of pure torture 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are surprisingly so positive for so many breakdowns! I love it, keep doing what your doing!
I love when Westen finishes a project and gets a other one.
I love it😂🤣🤗
It wasn't supposed to be a project lol.
😅
THE 1 does he still have the k30?
@@WestenChamplin hays funny it seem like that when ever you think a somthing is going to be quick and easy it isn't at least that's how it is on our farm we were lading manure with our backhoe and we popped a tire so we when to start it to raise the tire of the ground with the hoe and the starter blue up endless to say what should of taken us a day to do ended up taking 4 weeks
@@WestenChamplin you think that 5 ton is bad go look at a hmmwv. I was an engineer in the army. You couldn't pay us enough to take the hmmwv's out we'd drive 10 ton 6x6s or the 8x8s
So where was the oil coming from. I think those hold like 16 quarts of oil. The adventures is what makes memories. I tell ya. The look on Dom's face when you asked where is the wheel was priceless. Lol
Actually it's 22 qts
Sweet Tee doms face has me rolling
@@johnready630 Depends on with or without PTO and drain and refill is around 5 gallons, but completely dry is 6.25 gallons. They are beasts. :)
NinjaGoatX thanks man
Donald Williams to be fair I think it lost 5 gallons 😂

This man is so lucky.
He got the experience on how it felt to drive every single german tank from WWII.
This guy is living life. The stories he'll be able to tell his grandkids one day will be priceless.
if he lives that long.. obesity is a killer
The fact that shits gon bad and he still makes it funny and has a good time need more people like him in the world funny as hell man
I love the positive attitude you always have even when someone else would be angry you find the humor and that's hard to find in someone now days love the show keep it up brother we can all learn something from you 🤙
You are living my dream! Working on cars and trucks in your own little shop/garage! I guess I’ll be stuck continuing my nursing career. Lol
YES I LOVE YOU FOR THIS! I’ve got 5 of these 6x6 monsters. The engine in yours is a NHC 250 Cummins. However, be careful with that oil leak because the military used one type of oil for everything in order to keep costs down on fluids like auto trans fluid, power steering, and everything else. So just in case, check the engine oil before adding any.
You definitely need to hit him up on IG! Help Save that poor General
I remember somebody complaining that they had 30wt engine oil in the transmission...and he had to change it to gear oil.
@@rock.doctor What in the hell?!
Wasn't about costs it was about the fact that it's just easier to supply one fluid type then half a dozen. This was a military piece of equipment, they don't get a NAPA or Autozone to go for things when they are in a combat zone. Infact check out Appendix D page 262 in www.jeepolog.com/UserFiles/downloads/field%20manuals/BDAR%20tm9-2320-356-bd.pdf to see all the viable substitutes. Such as water being a substitute for hydraulic fluid as a last resort.
Not really
I feel bad for the poor sap who had a tire run into him on a highway at night.
I've seen accidents where people have died from that.
I feel bad for the guy on the motorcycle wrecking into a guardrail at 70 because of all that oil pissing all over the road.
@@paulhoskins7852 yeah very dangerous, they tend to bounce into people's windshields and doesn't help trailer tires are much heavier than regular tires.
There is a lot of irresponsible reckless endangerment in this video.
Show the proof please?. Because if u don't then your playing make believe Karen.
This video was so, so fun to watch... the filming is so well done and your stage present and personality is so entertaining and fun.
The amount of growth from this point is just awesome, talkin about the cummins mustang and the garage, all for it to come together a few years later. Great work man, i want to be more like you
Time to get a lowboy trailer for the Pete!!
The look on his face when he noticed the tire missing hahaha
I love how much fun you and your crew have Westin.. The adventure to get the Army truck looked like something
I am so happy I got one of your videos on my recommended! This guy is GREAT, I gotta watch the rest of his videos for context now. That mustang got me interested now
4:49 just don’t let the DOT see you driving home with that tire missing otherwise you’ll get one hell of a big ticket 🎫
No load on the trailer they are good by dot rules.
@@2011hemiram no. Dot will fuck you loaded or not with a missing wheel. $50,000 fine where I am, after a series of wheels falling off killed a bunch of people in the 90's
I drove similar trucks in the Navy. I was a Seabee for 8 years
Seabee's can make anything out of nothing. Respect brotha and stay safe
I spent a year running secfor for Seabees in Afghanistan. They made some damn good hooch. Cuban cigars and hooch after a day of poppin' hajis was some good times.
And when a flat happens, INSIDE REAR, EVERYTIME. That’s the way it went in 1968-69, stationed in Korea!
10:41 careful what you wish for
Hey Wes, I’m an 88M (Army truck driver) in the Army; look for the TM (technical manual) for the model number. The “-10” is operator level manual, the -20, -30 and -13P will have all the information and part numbers you’ll ever need
The Ford raptor came out amazing and the peterbilt did to, Great video Westen !
"too bad oil prices aren't higher"
You, you did this.
This is by far my favorite video of yours from whenever he said where the hell did I will go and he's like oh no just to look on his face I'm saying
That was freakin' hilarious!!!!!! Look on the bright side, you're floorboard will never rust.....!!!!!
Oil spray done!
When he says “ your really not living life until you buy something like this” hilarious!
I found your channel yesterday and man I'm loving your content! You're just out there living the dream buying trucks and going on adventures. I wish I could live like you!
Man sounds like a adventure! I love trips like this they are always interesting !
9:50 that laughter is the byproduct of no sleep.
Westen “ it doesn’t run” also westen drives the truck onto the trailer
2:54 thats corrected.
I love your vids man, wish I knew you I'd have a blast working on those projects you got! keep up the good work!
So excited to follow all the excitement on the channel! Keep it up boss
Westen finally has merch in the description😲😲
ya, it's about time ...we have everything you want as long as what you want is a hat..lol
OUR AWESOME SELECTION OF ITEAMS...WELL WE GOT ONE HAT
ITEAMS?
@@WestenChamplin , i suddenly feel like i want a hat.
@@chaunbot there's no I in teams lol
8:17 Damn its dark for being 12:00pm LOL
Alpaca God I was looking for this haha
Cason Johnson same 😂
I love this, I havent heard of yinz but found ya through a meme and oml your energy and amazing editing skills is great! Thanks for making great content!
Also found this through a meme
Timing couldn’t have been better!! I love these trucks!
Might be one for sale soon, runs great slight oil leak :(
Ive wanted one of these things for a while, I drive the newer ones in the army now and I will give you a huge pointer, don't trust the fuel gages, always look in the tank, no matter what they are broken or lie all the time
The oil leak had me LMFAO....😂😂😂
You are so gawdang funny Westin. You and your crew just keep me laughing at your daily adventures. Stay safe and healthy.
Wow you Guys are awsome I like your style and you are not even angry whatever situation will be, allways big Fun!!!
I was walking my dog and swear Westen drove by me in the middle of nowhere Missouri.
he may have if they had to run thru there lol, that man seems to cover more ground around the us then he puts off lol.
Did you see any oil on the ground after he went by?
@@SteveRivett no, but it had a big dent in it.
"Who said you had to buy a truck that runs, that's overrated. Buy you one that dont run, and you'll have so much more fun with it."
I've been trying to tell my parents that but they wont listen!
That is true if you have time to fix it lol. I work too much to constantly fix up a truck
These guys are awesome. They make being a mechanic worth it. Being able to work with your hands and make something from nothing. That truck almost leaked as much oil as a land rover does.
Aweeeeee man... I wanted to see more of what happened... To the truck...
Show us more Westen... When wierd things like that happen... We gotta see it
THIS IS WHAT I LOVE TO SEE !!!! Keep making interesting funny videos westen
"I'm telling you, Toggle Switches"
Those guys never stopped for food that's amazing
I started seeing your videos on Facebook got addicted to watching them had to come to subscribe, I don’t even think I watch TV anymore😂
I have to thank you cause I haven't laughed that hard in a long time! Much love from NH!!
It's good to see you and the team get progressively more entertaining with less and less effort on each video. Cant wait for the shop build and all the machines yall work on ✊🏼
Wow Westin glad you and Dom got the truck home. I thought I was watchin Road Kill with david Frieburger..lol..I never seen so many breakdowns just getting a truck home. Good job though!
I bought a military humvee from the 80's and it died before I got home. Turns out it runs on JET FUEL and the MILITARY BASE i bought it from didnt even TELL ME. I also bought a military tow truck like your dumper, and it was ok.
They're Detroit diesels... They run on diesel just fine...
You need a Soviet ZiL-131 6x6. It runs on any old piss fuel, petrol, diesel, kero, any contaminated mix of any old shit. Of course it only does 50mph top speed and you get 5mpg while it belches out pollution that would make Greta Thunbergs prodigal future daughters eyes water, but it does the job and doesn't need any John Deere or Tesla engineers to come out on a plane and hotel expense merely to reset the code to fix it when you have already fixed the problem of a leaking vacuum hose or other that caused an error code that was logged on Apples iCloud.
@@robertvigil8017 No the 5 ton uses a Cummins engine. The HEMMT used the Detroit 8V92.
@@towtruckmafia he meant the humvees are Detroit diesels. Idk if jet fuel even works in a Detroit diesel
They run off of both diesel and JP8. Not all diesels can run off of JP8 because they can overheat. If it is JP8 compatible, it will run off of diesel. JP8 is mostly kerosene.
Wheres the Cummins power stang vidoes
Cumstang
They're probably waiting to get to a point where it makes sense to edit everything together.
I’ve got a WHOLE ROLL of bailing wire 😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
How can you guys be such nice guys …. Not one bad word in your video. Thank you
Wow! Great Job!!
keep at it westen! im sure well find your missing wheel on a dash cam compilation somewhere in the near future.
Wow the lullaby music when ur buddy was sleeping. Classic im still laughing. You are my new favorite channel cant wait to see the truck finished
Love watching your videos you’re so entertaining
I've had a few of these, and deuces ... yeah the lights are a pincher type switch making it difficult to turn them on accidentally and " give away your position " ... these trucks are literally tons of fun, I recommend one to any young buck gearheads that gave place to park em. It does get old getting beat up driving and maintaining a rig designed to be crewed by a team of people. I used to wear a helmet for repairs, and earplugs when driving it ... five ton dump, great rig ! Congrats.
Dom is brilliant! He needs to be a regular on the Vlog!
Thanks for making content!!!
Greetings from south Texas. Always love your vids. Keep 'em coming Westen. 👍
You guys are fargin hilarious. Love your work!
Oh yes Westen m8 i so look forward to this!
“Well we got one hat” this man never fails to make me laugh! Much love
I like how you look at all this in a funny sense of humor. You make me laughs in just about every video.😂
😂🤣😂🤣 Good luck Westen!! Love all your work!!
Thank you for having a sort feature on your merch website. I scrolled for days tryna find a hat I liked.
Next time just buy one of each and you can give the rest away if you don’t like the style. Make a nice gift for Mother’s Day!
Westen I almost bought a 5ton earlier this year, went with a pete 359 instead! Glad I did! 🤣👍
Hay Westen, I enjoy watching Your videos here in Idaho!!!! Keep up the Great Work!!!!!!

Just drove a beautiful peterbilt back from ct to ca, oil cap cane off in the hills of pa spewing oil front to back and all underneath, was a bad feeling being 3000 miles from in the middle of nowhere with a truck dripping in oil, luckily I put the cap on and all was fine, added 1.5 gallon oil at the next truck stop, hit the first truck wash I came too and sent it on back to ca.
Westen: Buys 6x6*
Me: .-. Didn’t see that coming...
Jay Marie 10 wheeler*
6 wheel hubs tho
But it has 10 wheels in toatal
Poor Clifford CAN HE HANDLE THE POWER
YES YES HE CAN
This guy is way to underrated get him to 5 million
In 1970 i bought a half ton 1941 powerwagon for $250. Had a hand crank could start it.. Built a stagecoach camper on it and had a tipi. Put the piles in top and went for 3 half years through 17 states doing farming harvesting fishing and construction for spare money. Lived the cheap life with my dogg and had the time of my life. Put 4 non directionals on rear and 2 new ones on front. Tires came from israel. What a trip spent time in various communes and hunting camps. Trip of a life time. Love to do it today but Im abit old. You trip me out big man. God bless in your fun
This was like a episode of roadkill 😂😂
Yeah I'm suprised they havent done this on roadkill
These two are the heroes we need. Subbed.
through all the "adventures" with the 5 Ton, somehow you still manage to keep good attitude and your sense of humor. Good luck with the truck Weston
Yeee yee hell yea keep them coming Wes
Always finding something that breaks just make us laugh. Keep it up. I need that truck for camping.😂
I so thought of Jeremy Clarkson when he said “I’ll fix it with a hammer”
"it's got a leak" 😂
IT took a leak
U crack me up i love it keep it up guys
I love this channel everyone watch the adds and get this man his awesome dream shop and everything that comes with it so we get more videos! Btw nice military dump truck
