Air-brushed mural of Jerry as a wizard throwing lighting and Jobe as a Viking barbarian riding a dragon overtop a mountain of skulls.
That is metal as fuck!!!
Good for behind the cab
But the bumper needs low rider engraving. Gold leaf, engine turned big time logo smack in the middle. 🤌
Hire Kiptoe for it
Yeah it’s gotta be something crazy mythical with the both of the guys on it hahaha
Both half naked!
Ludwig collab was not something I would have had on my bingo card tbh
Yooo same. I was like "ludwig... wait, i know that face!"
ludwig is in this video?
And they are cousins??? thats insane
I had a feeling it would at some point because Lud has been rocking BigTime merch!
same
My truck is broken LETS ADD SOME CHROME WOOHOOO
Lmao, yeah I'd worry about cosmetic stuff last, but I guess he's got the money and time.
@@CDXLIV444cosmetic stuff gets views, views get money, money gets actual parts for mechanical issues, those parts fix the truck. That's why they do it backwards. A 30 min video on fuel lines will get half as many views as a "pimp my big rig" video
Real Trucker Stuff 😅
Kings and underglow👌🏼these guys are either drifters or off-roaders or off-roading drifters 😂
In the wise words of Derek "Chrome gets you home"
I like how you just casually throw in that you’re cousins with Ludwig lol. Now that you say it you guys are so much alike 😂
Crazy lore drop
Ludwig is publicly a bad person, and exploits his para social audience for money. This dude is just passionate about cars.
@@Memorywholedhe’s not a “publicly bad person”. That’s just your own parasocial view of him. Ironic.
I'm checked in to at least hear the punch line to this setup. Gonna have to hear "his Mom is my dad's sister" or whatever 🤣
I haven't heard Jer speak a lick of French iirc
@@Memorywholedyou’re in too deep bud maybe log off for a while
I was so shocked that Ludwig promo'ed this on steam the crossover is crazy! His dedication to them being cousins was funny too 😅
brother I literally thought they were for a second I was losing my mind LMAO
Alloy Armor saved all of my 100 puppies from a house fire
Alloy Armor saved my marriage. Thank you Alloy Armor😉
Alloy Armor has helped dozens of old ladies across busy streets.
@@heylookitsthatonedude900 It's true. I was the streets.
Alloy Armor hid me behind a dresser when my crazy ex came looking for me.
Alloy armor made me rethink my life and make right decisions.
My parents were estranged for over 16 years and I haven't talked to either of them since, but after using AlloyArmor on my car's motor mounts, it brought us all back together again to become a loving family! Thanks AlloyArmor! ❤👪❤
About 12 years ago my father stepped out to go get some milk. We hadn't seen or heard from him since. Last week, I started using AllowArmor on my tears. Just today my father came back with a gallon of whole milk. AllowArmor rules!
My wife has been complaining about the size of my manhood for over a decade. Yesterday I used AlloyArmor for the first time and it added 4 inches to my hardware. THANKS AlloyArmor!
The vet said that we could only wait another day, at most....if the leg didn't get better he would need to....well you know.
I took little Bigtime, the Bulldog, home with me so we could work out in the shop together just one last time, I accidentally
got some AlloyArmor overspray on his bad leg and the next morning he was catching frisbees on the way to the Vet's where he got a clean bill of health! tHanks AlloyArmor!
@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals I just bought 20 cans of AllowArmor, and I am going to spray it all over my parents who've been divorced for 35 years but now live together because of a hurricane in Tampa. They'll be hosting the WWE 75+ Raw is War Cage-match of the century in my Mother's living room at any moment. I don't know what's going to happen, but at least it's going to be shiny and weldable as it can be.
@@joecastagna ....cage match....
I believe you are in luck because Cage Match/Parents is actually listed on the can under suggested uses.
( Your comment was beyond clever! My driver's license is out of Tampa...just south of ) My friend lives over a garage so only lost his car and the contents of his garage....which didn't look like may garage ....which resembles a third world country's bus terminal.
Seeing ludwig at the end is my two personality's squaring up against each other. Him wearing the Big time merch on live finally answers my questions.
To be fair he did mention he filmed a collab with them
This channel is such a vibe. Everything seems so natural its actually enjoyable to watch.
“Such a vibe” 🤮 come up with a better catch phrase to leave in the comments bud. Please 🙏 don’t turn this into a teeniebopper page.
@@MILKMANsYODADDYtoo late, the man calls himself a trucker. Not a trucker, bought himself a yard dog rig put a little money in it and drove it around the parking lot. The guys an idiot. Smh
I keep thinking that these guys are in their late 20s early 30s, the amount of energy and passion you guys have rocks! Keep up the work!
how old are they actually lol
Man, I added up some ALLOY ARMOR on my marriage and it's good as new. My wife doesn't even need any make up anymore, ALLOY ARMOR makes her shine.
LMAO
A L L O Y A R M O R
Jer says “you might be wondering, who is Chance?”; proceeds to talk about a completely different dude and never introduces Chance. 😅
The ADD is strong with this one
I thought it was going to be Vin's dog lol
@@TheStorkSR isnt that Champ?
Is Chance a Rapper?
This man Florida Mans too hard sometimes 😂
Whatever you paid that polisher wasn't enough! That aluminum came out fantastically.
Hard work.....
Exactly!!!! They never showed how dirty polishing aluminum make you. You’ll walk away covered in black dust from head to toe.
@@adamjam2 from the one or two shots of the guy doing the job, it looked like he was well covered in gear for it. Still, a hardworking job.
The Ludwig lore is wild
I work on waste trucks that are about this size. I’ve been anticipating this build/vid for a while. I sympathize with the struggles that come with working on cab overs. And them tires are no joke either, especially if you get a gash in the side wall. Good work fellas!
Thanks bro !!
25:45 That switch is probably to manually turn the radiator fan on. Every rig we've had, we have installed one of those so we can turn on the fan before a graded slope (ex: The Grapevine), that way the engine was cooled prior to adding the stress of the slope.
Guess they'll find out the hard way...
I did think it does nothing or you just don't know what it does?
This is why I came to the comments, so thanks...
They are never going to run it fully loaded so i doubt itll be an issue@@sosked78
@@sosked78 I doubt they are going to be doing anything too extreme or long distance.
Was not expecting a colab with Ludwig, I immediately recognised that kei truck. I can't wait for the next episode!
Hopefully it doesn’t get stolen again!
No way
@@JayCray421 pretty sure that was his Subaru Kei van not the truck
Unhelpfully, the kei van is ALSO a sambar @@Jacobtheunwise
Same I recognized the truck and thought "That looks like Ludwig's" but never expected a collab or that they were cousins
The truck needs custom mudflaps of you guys posing in the "mudflap girl pose"
This needs more likes
Needs to be of his cousin doing it. That's even funnier.
So glad you guys left Donut. You guys were the heart and soul and It's awesome to see a new glimmer in the content.
I was TIG welding and I couldn't get my dimes to stack, but after spraying some ALLOY ARMOR on the plate, they stacked up perfectly. Thanks ALLOY ARMOR.
LUDWIG????? WHAT AN UNEXPECTED TWIST
One last thing that wasn't on my 2024 bingo card 😂
@nelsonmeier7861 AND he's Jer's cousin??? even anime doesnt have this kinda plot twist lol
what an unforseen turn of events
@@kaifkefayatgiven how Jer cracks a lot of jokes, I doubt. If I'm wrong, that's nuts.
Still. What a crazy collab.
Busy cheating on QT
@@Oakyare you just capping?
"This guy, financial mistake guy" lol what a call out
Big risk big time reward
I can't believe that joke was made BEFORE Ludwig popped up.
Glad somebody said it
Bills due.
Jerry's truck is the highlight for me of this channel. I never knew a big ole Kenworth could be so cool.
Same! I'm waiting for them to take it south and re-run the Smokey and the Bandit route
TRUX Dual Revolution Lights are a MUST!!!! Extremely bright and very durable! Plus you can also use them as underglow !!
I'd suggest putting some silicone grease on the lug nuts before putting on the spikes, as those spikes will trap water and rust out whats underneath
The ludwig collab was unexpected, and even more unexpected is that you're cousins. Next video is gonna be awesome
I love how casual y’all are about including other people in your projects. It’s a much more realistic representation of what it’s like to be into cars
34:48 Excuse me, WHAT?!
What I Am sayin lowkey they look and have the same vibe
Right
Cousin?!?!!!
@@boiled4safetyI still can't figure out if that was a joke or not
dropped the hardest lore ever out of nowhere 😆
Thanks!
At 10:15 Jerry’s shock and awe, and giggling, with the Rainman reference and following questions, while he is still giggling, had me absolutely laughing my a** off 😂😂😂
J560 connector aka 7-way. Link between cab and trailer. White ground, Blue AUX/ABS has constant power, Black upper clearance markers on trailer, Brown trailer tail and running lights, Yellow trailer left turn and hazard, Green trailer right turn and hazard, Red trailer stop lights.
Niche, but highly valuable knowledge dropped.
Hope @BigTime sees this
Nice bro
Nice google search, pretty easily accessible info.
@@remodz6385like you knew that before seeing their comment?
I think for the big rig you need someone to custom paint Jerry and Jobe depicted as Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam" painting but make it "The Creation of BigTime"
For reference "The Creation of Adam" is the painting where Adam is lounging in the lower left with an outstretched arm reaching towards God in the upper right and both of their index fingers are nearly touching.
Best thing they could put there. Change my mind.
Oh. My. GOD! Yes!
This
ong!
W everything in your comment
big time x ludwig was something i never thought id see
Going through my early 20s to my late 20s now I’ve seen you do numerous things in the car culture but I’ve also grown on my own cars are great and cars might be the absolute joy of my life but not everything… this is my personal favourite video you’ve made so from the bottom of my heart thank you
the coors light box stencil at 11:43 is exactly why I love this channel
Jer: “Oh look a Peacock! ADHD is real.”
I felt that.
Fr haha
J-Bone still recovering from the dyno results of his BMW. Get better buddy.
Ludwig jumpscare wtf. Everything about this is sick, and while it was unexpected, the Lud collab has me hyped.
30:38 - Jobe, Jeremiah, and the dogs on leashes with the cars all around and smoke in the background 😂 Some major space jam vibes 🎉
Great to see Michael Cox and Vinn again! Been a fan of these guys since the first build and battle series from Hoonigan!
I love Mike's awkward product plugs 😂 ALLOY ARMOUR!
BigTime: "We have to hurry to be ready for our first big rig job."
Sticker on Truck that says Not For Hire: "Am I a Joke to You?"
Jobe and Jerry are a perfect team. Jobe is a regular guy working on down to earth projects while Jerry is cusp of being unhinged. Real ying to the others yang
Jerry, leave Jobe’s yang alone man.
You can really tell who is from Florida and who's from Ohio
Hope you guys are staying safe
The startup reminded me of my Honda…
A fully rebuilt and tuned D16Y8 with a freshly rebuilt and beefed up S24A transmission. We put it in, connected everything and turned the key…
10 months from removing the engine to putting it back in but it sprang to live like I just parked it for 10 minutes… damn I love her. 😍
I had a gasp of joy when I saw this was posted. Big truck make big smile.
Aw man, I remember being a boy on the farm when one of our tractors ran out of fuel. It had this tiny hand-operated pump on the line that moved about four inches each way. And after adding diesel, you had to pump that little thing like 300 thousand times to get it primed. I learned that day that you _never_ run it out of diesel.
Dude, few people remember them days before auto primers 😂
@@KhaoticKalmwe had a loader at work with an auto primer. It turns out that, if enough goes wrong with your machine, those auto primers also suck.
@@lilmancc35 kinda like auto windows… if something goes wrong you can’t just use the crank handle.
@KhaoticKalm exactly. We had trash in the tank and a failing mechanical pump, so we had to use the auto pump every so often to reprime but it'd take forever because trash would just get stuck and make you have to start over, and there was no way to tell. Some nights we had to set there for 20 minutes getting it to reprime the system so that we might would be able to get through the night.
I loved this longer feeling episode, I know that it isn't technically longer, but it felt like it. I really feel like I get to be in the weeds with you guys when its longer.
The Ludwig is my cousin lore is kind of crazy
I respect yall’s discernment on went to go to bed and get rest. So many times have I pushed a project through and made a costly mistake because I told myself I could just get it done when a nights rest and a fresh mind would have helped me get it done more effectively and in less time 🙏
Haven't seen Michael and Vincent since ye olde random Hoonigan days, those guys are legit and love seeing them unexpectedly.
Absolutely love those dudes. That build & battle series was so choice.
I definitely was wondering for a bit if it's the same Mike until Vince and his majestic mustache arrived. lmao
I’ve been waiting on the Ludwig collab ever since he started rocking the Big Time merch awhile back. Wasn’t sure if it was gonna be motorcycles or the Sambar, but man I can’t wait for that video.
Is it weird that my favorite series is the big rig? I just love seeing old iron fixed up and put back on the road. Taking a truck that was beginning to rot away and making it better than new is SO satisfying to me.
Also, I about choked on my lunch when I heard Ludwig was your cousin(!?!) mind blown.
I'm literally at the edge of my seat waiting for the next video(s)! PLEASE don't make us wait too long! 🙏
I've been a diesel mechanic for a couple of months after previously knowing nothing(still got things to learn) but it's awesome to see you guys working on one. KEEP IT UP 👍
25:35 switch teleports the cars passing by 😂
I always see Lud wear the big time shirt, but didn't know you were related. Always thought it would be cool for you guys to collab for a K truck video, super excited to see what you guys do!
Got to love our boy got two extremes, motorbikes and a big rig.
You gotta love Mike Cox and Vince
Red is just there to get it some power if you're going to put in a box in your cab so you can stop it with the electronic box my dad had one of those put in when he got his 1990 Ford F-250 switched over to a 7-pin trailer hookup
That’s why Ludwig has big time merch super early! Awesome, and you two are visiting my state! Sweet!
IM SO HAPPY TRUCK VIDDDD BIG RIG JERRRRR
8:44 Jer sounds like a cam'd didgeridoo
I vote for a "Creation of Adam" painting starring Zach and Jeremiah on the back.
The fact that nowadays we don’t have to hope the next video to come out has Jeremiah and Zach in it, is honestly the best thing about TH-cam atm
Who i did not expect to see ludwig. Hes everywhere man
15:00 As a tire guy, it was such a relief to see Jerry not tempt fate by trying to change his own rig tires.
Hope they don't get homie in trouble. Inflating that tire with no cage!? 👀👀
@@tannerfulton8320 Wouldn't you only need a cage if the wheels were split-rims?
@@cjwharton1You are correct.
@@tannerfulton8320 Most people will not do a roadside service. Call like that on a split rim that requires a cage. But then again, being a heavy equipment operator I've seen plenty of tire guys fix repair and change a split rim tire on very large equipment with no cage. To this day.
@@StephenClark-hk4mi That's wild. You would think that the stories of people getting cut in half by an exploding split-rim would dissuade them from that practice. Guess the money is worth more.
I'm so glad BigTime is a thing, one of my favorite channel right now.
I usually don’t pay much attention to the paid ad in the video. But the big time ads always feel more personal. Like we watched these two start this from the love they got on donut, and they know that we are here for them. It feels real
Soo sick. Absolutely cannot get enough big rig content. Jeremiah just living his best life.
Once this thing has a BigTime livery, this is going to be the next Forza semi-truck
1:02 there right there should be your intro 😂😂😂
great TH-cam Poop material
Hope you guys are all safe from those fires. God bless and prayers to you all.
When I saw that K truck I was like NO it cant be! IT WAS! Never could have called that! This is the collab we needed.
please never paint over buds six pack
Or like... refresh the paint, including the logo.
exactly, just touch up the rougher parts a bit and it'll be perfect
please do paint over buds six pack
Black it out! Black rigs with chrome look amazing.
@@R33F3RMONSTER Long noses only. Cab-Overs are made for that 70's wallpaper scheme.
Everytime he looks away and behind the camera, I will now assume there is a peacock just hard staring at him.
6 tires + roadside service?... $3k. I love a cab over. make it beautiful please. that means bright, gaudy, and loud.
$383 per tire is not bad at all. What is the mileage rating for those tires? 80k?
@@Whatwherewhy586 About that. depends on the brand but they're generally long life tires. a truck can do more than 100k miles in a year if it's busy.
I could get ‘em for $300 new. If you’re running crossovers and dynamic balancers you can get away with $200 retreads.
And chrome… lots and lots of chrome… and lights… lots and lots of lights. 😂
@@Whatwherewhy586i hook all my customers like that .. thanks for noticing the good price
@@Whatwherewhy586100k for sure all day on some chines Thailand tires .. the low cost brands are really durable and legit
My first real job was working for Mayflower. We rode around the country for the first year in an 89 International Cabover with a double sleeper. I made hammocks out of straps and pads, and slept in the trailer.
Watching Donut makes me excited to see what they'll do next, watcing BigTime makes me excited to get back out to the garage myself. I'm guessing its the emphasis on showing the process, which reminds me of good shop times. Thanks BigTime.
22:41 Bigtime branded -jumpsuit- speedsuit?! Let's go!!!!!
Speeedsuit
All these guys got contagious laughter😂
As a Yard listener the Ludwig reveal surprised the hell out of me haha. Another banger from Bigtime great vid guys!
Yo same, I literally pogged while I was watching this at work lmfao
Man speaking of The Yard, that might just be what we see next. Jer and or Jobe on that show, collabs come in twos haha
@@koijoijoe that would be so hype!
As a loooooongtime donut fan and an instant BIGTIME fan, This makes my trucker heart so content! Such a rad episode!
I'm so glad yall parted ways with Donut. This is so much better in every single way.
Finally a Semi Truck episode!!
Of all the people i could think of to randomly see in this vid Ludwig was not on that list LMFAO
Ludwig crossover is the last thing I expected tbh
Of all the issues to have, hoses and hose connectors have to be the best scenario for a truck that expensive. Michael is a god of shock finding.
Am I the only one that gets really anxious when people are under the cab?
are*
I'm not sure on their truck, but most have a lockout bolt so it can't fall down. Obviously not completely failsafe but probably safer than working under a car on jack stands tbh.
Same as a prop rod holding up a car hood, except it's a pipe. All is safe.
@theenglishbassist
Yeah, looked like they propped it up with a bar or something, but seemed like they did so after a while of being under it already?
With a car hood, if the rod fails you have a slight headache and cuss a bit. If the cab pipe fails…
Forget that this is even about a big rig, and just look at the people, the antics, and the fun you guys are having. This is why I come back to the channel. You guys make it fun.
Having to work with a headlamp at night that can die is annoying...that underglow serves a good purpose LOL
You're a fun guy to watch, Jerry. So genuinely happy.
You should have bitmoji styles of you and Mr Jobe inside the truck making the peace sign outside the driver window
Since the last video I have obtained a cdl and became a trucker 😂
Picked up many lot lizards yet?
@@joshuagibson2520 XD
Congrats… and my condolences
9:38 that sight was shocking
ba dum tss
"It's your fuel map it's got a nasty hole!"
Type S and the "best underglow out there." As someone from the 90s tuner scene, I nearly died.
It's so nice to see the guys who made cameos on Hoonigan are still around making fun little cameos
BigTime FTW
This is so much better then Donut!!!
The vibes are immaculate.
Thanks god, no ads. No dang insurance promotions lol
7:55 watch the vet watch the vet watch the vet watch the vet
You beat me to it!!
