- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- The Mad Max Tesla carries on! The week we built a tube bumper with reverse lights, trailer hitch and a street sign skid plate. This build series is brought to you by eBay Motors ebayvehicle.co... eBay motors has every part for every ride! Next up for the overland Tesla long range Model 3 is a skid plate to protect the massive battery and a roll cage. We have already lifted the off road monster truck 2" but we will not stop there.

I love eBay for helping you guys do these projects.
We do too!!
Yes eBay Motors is the best sponsor ever! We could not do projects on this level without them ebayvehicle.com/app/GHPC
lol ebay gets more money lol then you use paypal and ebay gets even more money.then they can goto Washington and lobby the congress men to report anytime you spend over $600 to the irs .Im glad too!
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo I love ebay for auto parts, usually there is a US warehouse and I can get my parts quickly and at a great price.
What’s up with the Electric Tank?
I love how silent it is. You can really hear everything going on, including nature. AWESOME!!
"It's a perfect time to talk about our sponsor for this video, Penske Truck Rentals."
Haha! That’s actually the UPS truck. 🤣
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo thats a weird ups truck🪑🪑
@@loganchambers6842 in a lot of places those companies work with large scale transport companies. Even when I lived in Philly, I worked in a small shop and a lot of our stuff came DHL, FedEx, and UPS, via rental trucks. Yes, even Amazon was (is still?) in some areas. Logistics is nuts....
That would have been to good to be true!
I was a ups truck in my 07 malibu for a few months lol
Fuk YEEEEEHHHHHHHHH boys! Made my friday. Was waiting for a schweet drop to kick this weekend off right!
Awesome happy to hear it
The range of an off road EV is the electric equivalent of Smiles Per Gallon.
yes!
so mostly this 😶
Since there's no "gallons" maybe it's just Smiles Per Mile instead of Miles Per Charge
Smiles per watt
hurr durr, smiles per gallon, urrrrr durrr!!
That bumper was beatifull. The design looks very much inline with the tesla logo and styling, while still keeping a mean expression. Best tube bumper to date!
The skill level here ,both filming and fab, is off the charts.
Thanks man! Glad you think so!
For the lights, you can get a Tesla specific trailer lights controller and use that, plus you'll have a plug for your hitch
👻
Great work :) Both pedals = neutral is really irritating in loads of situations, not just for wacko woodsmen! Loading onto trailers, doing precise movement of any sort. It could be fixed by an update if the Lords of Tesla are feeling benevolent.
What you do is just a full on art like u guy are the most creative people ever
Thanks man!
What the heck?! I didn't know the Tesla had games on it. And that you can play using the cars' controls! So cool
It is so cool!
Definitely do the ol tack weld trick on those noisy weld on D-rings if they will rarely be used 😉 if I actually plan on using them often and don't want to hear the rattle, I temporarily shim them centered, then fill the void with black RTV/Lexel/polyurethane roof or seam sealant/100% silicone caulking or anything else that's flexible and within arm's reach 😄 👍 I promise it mostly works for a while!
That bumper is a piece of art! Great job!
Thank you!!
Dude, you guys gotta do a full suspension build on this thing. This is definitely the best Tesla build on TH-cam right now.
We will for sure thanks!
I think the neighborhood is a lot happier with this build, no more engine sounds through the woods😄
Sometimes I just forget to check out my subscriptions page for a while, and then youtube sucks at recommendations sometimes, can't believe I missed this video, this thing is AMAZING! Looks like so much fun. Time to catch up on other stuff, thanks for the cool shit!
Impressive work! You should also put 2 skirt bars under the doors, just to aestethically match the bumpers
Absolutely! That’s next in the list!
First let me say I know nothing about electric cars or solar energy. But I was just curious, could you put solar panels on the roof of your car to extend its range and also recharge the batteries when you aren't around a charging place?
It would be a very small percentage of the overall range but it could help especially if you were parked all day in the desert or something like that
You need a about 3 to 4 parking spaces worth of Solar PV to have a decent charger rate to power something like a Model 3. It maybe give you 150 miles in a Day. But when it comes to remote places like this where you can have a permanent setup. A Solar Array that size + a VAWT could very much entirely power a BEV. Problem is the cost of the big battery sponge soak up the energy.
I've been wanting to see a tesla converted to a rock crawler or tough truck. The torque and low center of gravity makes it perfect for those kind of sports. This is the closest that I've seen so far. Looks great.
Its always amazing the art work that goes into your projects!
Dude, I daresay the rear bumper looks even better than the front one! The "Road Maintenance Ends" sign really makes it. Great to see more on the Model 3! We gotta make it out to your shop at some point and go play in the woods. Can't wait to see you guys at SEMA next week!
👍 A cross between a jeep and a lamborghini. Mad max style.
Elon's watching this now getting baked with Joe Rogan just lovin it
100% coolest looking tesla
Thanks!
I love the build. One thing I find odd though is the white seats. They won't stay white for long.
old conveyor belt is also good to kneel on in the shop or if you have to work outside.
True!
I think it's awesome I saw this after the trunk was cut lol great time at that show.. 😀
That is awesome! That was a good time!
Leave it to us north Idaho folks to make something like a Tesla off road and awesome. Just noticed you guys are 9B guys. I'm a 7B myself. Howdy neighbors! If you're ever playing around near Priest River maybe we'll run into each other.
Haha! Oh yeah! Love it over by Priest Lake!
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo I hope to see that awesome monster Tesla one day, I'll keep an eye out for it! (Hope you don't mind if I take a picture of it if I do see it)
You just happened to have the perfect sign to put on the back of this Tesla. It was white and black and about rough roads.
Haha! I know! What are the odds?
Amazing can't wait to follow this series. Love that one of my fav youtubers are into Tesla's now. Also rear lights should be easy, no canbus needed. there are 12v wires for break, running, turn, and reverse, making acc or trailer harness hook up easy.
It was super cool to meet ya at Mountain Mafia,rolled my clean white Samurai,now it needs some Grind Hard treatment!Thinking external cage now!
Was great to meet you as well! Sad to see that Samurai get smashed, but I know it will just get more awesome now!
Bumper looks great. Love your fabrication skills. You make it look so easy.
Thank you!!
Tractor supply has a new MACK truck power wheels. We need a mini turbo diesel build!
What an awesome project. Had a 2018 Tesla Model 3 similar to yours but single motor Long Range. Sold it and driving 2021 Tesla Model Y Dual Motor Long Range now. These cars are the cat's ass! Wife would never let me modify it for off road like you did, however, soon as the Cybertruck starts pumping out the ass end of the Austin factory I'm on the list, baby. Its got a pretty decent departure angle as well, lol. Love your projects, especially the off-road Tesla. Can't wait to see the roof rack you put on it.
Next year they are building an off-road 2020 corvette. We can all dream right
Definitely think you should solid axel swap this
Haha! That would be hilarious! 🤣
Лучше преображения этого автомобиля, я не видел))круто))
Hi guy, I've been watching your TH-cam channel for a long time - and I like it
I give you some advice - the ends of metal pipes - plug with plastic plugs from plastic pipes on a silicone sealant
Watching you from Russia from the city of Perm - I say hello to you
So this is the future of vehicle modification and "tuning", 🤔. Really interesting.
The commitment to sit there while the snowmobile barely cleared the bike is some real BDE
Loving the Tesla! put ya some flexible solar panels on the roof rack just In case you run out of juice.
Dude your Tesla is so sick! Love your tubing artistry for the bummers! Great stuff!
Dang missed those shirts!
Tesla's looking awesome. That jump was sweet, now it just needs some Baja level travel lol.
I’m sure Ken Block will contact you to build him a beast Tesla, great video nice job loved it!!!
Idk if this is a complement or not but your videos help me fall asleep, and no meditation videos do that for me
We’ll take it as a compliment!
Clear coat the heck out of that sign so hopefully it'll stay Legend.
The stuff they put on road signs is incredibly durable already…
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo idk. Only takes a few rounds to chip them around here. Lol not me, but other ky colonels
Dude. Signs are such a good source for sheet metal. The sticky side smells like cancer, but what dosnt these days.
Wow you guys are very talented.
I love your chaotic garage shop and how you make something out of nothing!
Awesome! Thanks Guys!
Rich.
happy!
Love the video and the idea of the exo-skeleton idea you have for it too make it like a Mad Max Tesla. Can’t wait to watch that.
Glad you like it! That’s the plan!
Starting to have a rally car kinda vibe which ofc is great
Yes!
Get it fellas badass can't wait to see it. Done
Thanks man!
You guys should build an overland setup for the Tesla
That’s more or less the plan!
If only I had a Model X I'd make it into an offroad beast
I kinda wish it would not get an exoskeleton thing. Takes it from a cool not overdone usable thing straight to SEMA build.
Don’t worry, it will be a tasteful exocage.
You could just unbolt it and pull it out. It's ABS. Nothing necessary back there.
Wow it is amazing. Please come live video.
Grind hard edition model 3!!!!!! Would y’all build model 3’s like this if people sent you their car???
16:40 - I'm pretty sure I saw a still camouflaged in the background.
Those reverse lights are trick AF!
Right? So cool!
This will start a trend, I just know
Idaho is so beautiful!
It really is! But don’t tell anyone… 🤣
Long arm suspension lift?? Maybe you could race B is for builds jumpican..
Big ups to ebay motors! Hope this breaks a million views 🤞 Awesome work, filming and style as usual 😎👍
Thanks man! We hope so too!
Awesome job!
I think Ethan is becoming emotionally attached to the Tesla. 😛
16:00 The koenisegg Regera accelerate like a electric
Good point, but I doubt I’ll ever drive one.🤣
This things so badass
Thanks!
first time seeing you guys, you guys are dope
Impressive bumpers!!! 👍👍
Thanks man!
I love everything about this build!
Thank you! Glad to hear it!
One of the best welders I’ve seen 👍
Thanks man! I still have a lot of improving to do when it comes to TIG…
So cool the car 🤯
Got do some killer rock sliders next
i love how you guys progressed! really good quality videos
Aw guys,sick video,y’all are killing it!!!!!!
Thanks man! We appreciate it!
Keep up the good work
Best video yet!
Glad you think so!
I love seeing what you guys are doing, this is awesome. You need a bigger shop...
Next build: Drag racing Tesla Cyber Truck
Can you build a dirtbike tray for the tesla hitch?
We will for sure!
beautiful work man.
Thank you!
You guys rock! Thank you for putting out stellar content!
Thanks man! And it’s our pleasure!
I hope Tesla is watching!
We hope so too!
that lathe belt looks pretty shot ahaha i love that u guys just make shit work, keep it up
It’s seen better days… and thanks!
You modified his precious baby! If I were you, I'd watch out for Elon hitmen.
Looks good
really nice work!
I wonder what that hand tattoo is of? I never noticed it before, so it must be new!
Does the Tesla need cooler side mirrors? Like maybe WRC style rally mirrors? 😁
You're crazy !
@8:45 is that a tubing bender or are you just happy to see me
Lets hope the feds dont find these videos if you ever run for office or become a revolutionist. These sign cuttings will get you in jail😂😂😂
Haha! I highly doubt that, and I don’t think any of us have any interest in running for office… 😂😂😂
Uncle rich is proud
I sure hope so!
How are you guys not at 5+ million
World's best Tesla
Glad you think so!
Tesla..😎
Nice Idea 👍👍👍
👍
Was the "road maintenance ends" sign a random coincidence? If not that's brilliant since its an offroad vehicle
Imagine you're doing a welding job on your Tesla when it suddenly becomes sentient and starts welding you!!
Haha! That would be terrifying!
