Resurrected Rides (2024) s01e06 Episode Script

Ranger

1
Let's shoot this.
- What'd you give him?
- A prototype of a grappling hook.
Y'all ready for this?
Now, imagine this is a grappling hook
and I'm Batman
or Batman's Black friend
Black Man.
- Wait. No, don't do that.
- No?
This has all the makings
to be a really powerful bomb.
That's a problem.
All right, today,
we're gonna tackle a case that's big.
It's big, but it's not about
weapons of mass destruction,
grappling guns, or bombs.
It's about a dad
with a podcast of interest
who just needs
a little more time with his family.
I'm Shauna, and this is Moose,
and we are lucky to live with Willy.
I'm Willy, and I drive a 2000 Ford Ranger.
Oh, look at this. Nothing works.
The stereo doesn't work.
It's a reliable truck,
but kind of always needs to be fixed.
Willy is so supportive
and loving and kind and funny.
He's such a great dad.
Is it not
Is the clutch not catching?
No.
Damn it.
It's really tough financially sometimes
to keep the truck, I mean, even running.
Like, we're just lucky to make it
every month. We're month-to-month.
I don't know what that's to
because this isn't electric.
Could you please fix up his truck
so we can spend more time with Willy?
Please?
Please fix my daddy's truck.
Let's face it.
His cute kid certainly helped his case,
but I do like the guy.
Though he does have that
podcast of interest. Let's have a listen.
Hey, everybody.
Welcome to Real Life Sci-fi.
Tonight, micro UFOs.
Oh, would I call him
a conspiracy theorist?
I just think that the government
can do whatever they want.
So you think that we're making
tiny robots to fight tiny aliens?
He's logically minded,
but sometimes, yeah, he goes astray.
Okay.
Astray.
I love that name
for a conspiracy theorist.
So right now Willy is recording a podcast,
and we got eyes on him.
And we're gonna do
the biggest ambush in all of history.
I mean, we've got CIA trucks,
badges, suits, and ties.
Even CIA sunglasses.
Oh, and I got a partner,
Agent X tra-large.
Say what's up, Agent X.
-I didn't think I had any lines.
-You don't. Shut the
We got cameras every which way.
And we are going to, uh, confirm
that he shouldn't trust the government
by pretending to be
the government.
Here comes Chris in black
Ambushing Willy ♪
Because Willy's a bit
of a paranoid conspiracy guy,
I figured that I'd use that
for this ambush.
Kind of mess with
his conspiracy-theory-having ass.
Willy Roberts?
Are you Willy Roberts? Willy Roberts?
Willy's wife has been
our point of contact,
and she told us
that getting a jump on Willy
as he's leaving his podcast studio
is our best bet.
And even though it's a thousand
degrees in this black SUV
and in this black suit as a Black man,
I am situated and ready.
Just one question remains.
Where is this guy, man?
We've been out here forever.
And just when I want to give up hope
All right, I got eyes on Willy.
Hope tells me, "Uh-uh, fam.
We're doing this."
Willy is pulling out.
Willy's pulling out.
It's go time, everybody. Go time.
Oh .
Oh jeez.
The plan is I'm pulling Willy over
acting like I'm some government agent
and acting like his little podcast thing
is getting too close to the truth.
Here we go.
Then I make him get out
his beat-up ass truck
and tell him the good news
after he poo-poos
and pee-pees his neon pants.
Willy Roberts?
Yeah.
Agent Blue, CIA.
From the moment I walked up
to his car, I knew I had him fooled.
Is this real?
What do you mean, "Is this real?" Yes.
This is real. I'm I'm Agent Blue.
He had no idea what was going on.
Wait, I recognize you.
Uh, is it from your worst nightmares?
I mean, totally in the dark.
- Wait, am I on the show?
- Are you on what show?
- Not a clue.
- I'm on the show!
- I almost felt bad for the guy.
- Did you guys pick me?
No one picked you. I picked you
I pulled you over. I picked you to pull
- This is it, right?
- , man!
Damn it. All right, fine, man.
He knew the whole damn time.
Ruin the whole damn ambush.
Oh God!
Hi, Willy. Yes, you
Did you know? How'd you know?
I don't watch much TV,
but I've seen you on TV. You're on SNL.
Oh, he tapes his cameras on his phone,
but he watches SNL.
So I'm on the show.
You are on the show. I am resurrecting
this piece of ride. Yeah. 100%
It's hard to prank a conspiracy theorist
because you already see some coming.
Look at this.
What would a conspiracy theorist
podcast man need a truck like this for?
-Well, if any sort of apocalypse happens
-Mm-hmm.
all the roads'll get clogged
from the big migration out of the city.
The big migration?
Like nuclear blast happens.
I don't know.
Something happens, like accidental.
Do you know that
there's missing nukes in the world?
There are missing nukes?
Like, they can track you,
but there's missing nukes.
Where are those at?
I know where they're at.
Where they at?
In my pants.
All right, let's go ahead,
circle around your car a little bit.
Bro, I've never wanted to lotion a truck
as much as I want to lotion this thing.
This thing is ashy.
There's bumps everywhere.
It's chipped all over the place.
If your car was a person,
it'd be insecure for sure.
Let's jump in this thing
and take it for a ride, man.
There's a whole lot of goddamn sounds
that come with this car.
Right?
It sounds like it's about to morph.
What would you like to see
in this car change?
Well, I want to be able to take this thing
off-road and go camping with my family.
-For For life, you know.
-For life?
-You know, if an apocalypse happens
-Okay.
We're gonna live in the woods.
Ultimately, I just wanna be able
to protect my family.
-You know?
-Yeah, yeah.
One of the biggest things you need
in any crisis situation is water.
All right, so you're gonna need a place
for some fresh water.
Maybe put a Brita in here.
Something like that.
Moose's birthday's next week,
and, gosh, it would be really cool
if I could show up with the truck
all fixed up and, you know.
Yeah. We're gonna resurrect this thing
because it needs it,
and it smells like it needs it.
Go shock the world ♪
As that voice in my head set in
It get louder ♪
-Dedicated to doing something ♪
-Go shock the world ♪
- What?
- What the is this?
- Oh my gosh.
- Oh my God, dude.
Yo, yo, what's good, dream team?
Hey!
You looking fresh. Fresh to death.
Thank you because I am uncomfortable.
-Y'all seen the submission video, right?
-All right.
So, I mean,
is this guy really that crazy in person?
Okay. Well, yes, but he has a big heart.
He wants to protect his family
if something were to happen,
which everybody can vibe with that.
But he's a survivalist.
He knows the apocalypse is coming,
and he wants to have a car
that he could drive into the woods
when the government shuts down.
And do what?
I don't know, man. I don't know
what white people do in the woods!
Okay, so I'm thinking Mad Max vibe.
We should make it look like it could drive
in the dirt for a long time.
-Lacey. That'd be all Lacey's department.
-Okay.
Lacey, is this the truck
you were looking for?
No. But
If this thing is gonna be
any kind of off-road beast,
we're gonna have to lift it,
some bigger tires for on and off-road.
That sounds dope.
What about a water filtration system?
Saul and I
can handle that for sure.
Plus, if Willy's a survivalist,
I'm thinking rough and tough,
Mad Max-style exterior, roll cage.
Donnie, maybe an exoskeleton?
- Yes. Yes. Yes.
- Talking your language, huh?
I'm gonna go off the rails,
and I'm gonna layer, like, 60 feet of tube
all over this thing with all complex bands
all mitered together.
And he's gonna have a truck
that he could drive off a ravine
upside down, and it'll still be the same.
Will he survive that?
Probably not, but the truck will.
I love your excitement, Donnie.
Let's plan for him surviving in the truck.
Nelson, what you thinking, playboy?
So if he's a survivalist,
there's always escaping,
but then there's encountering danger.
I'm gonna build some Kevlar
body components that are bulletproof.
Hell yeah.
I love these ideas.
I'm really excited about this.
But y'all have eight days
because his kid's birthday party
is next Saturday,
and he wants to wow the little kids.
Jesus.
So I'm gonna go ahead
and get the hell out this suit.
Y'all do the damn thing.
Make me and Willy proud!
Free Willy.
Free Willy!
Nelson!
Nelson!
Nello.
- We need help getting this off.
- Why are you taking this bed off?
We have a new one.
And trust me, it's gonna be badass.
One, two, three.
How are you guys feeling? You all right?
- Not bad.
- Yeah. Don't smash my fingers, please.
Whoa, you okay?
- Let's go down nice and slow, okay?
- Yeah.
-Yeah. Look at that!
-Bye. Have fun.
Thank you, sir.
I mean, now how do we move it?
Forklift-certified, baby!
Oh, sorry!
- That was not what I had in mind, but
- I got an idea.
Yeah.
'Kay, here we go.
We'll follow this body line,
and this'll be
the first part of the puzzle.
And it's hard to tell now,
but this whole thing is gonna come up,
ride the A-pillar, ride all the way back,
come down, tie to our standoffs.
It's gonna look gnarly.
-I'm picking up what you're putting down.
-You see?
So now all we gotta do
is notch, cut, weld, repeat.
Notch, cut, weld, repeat.
Notch, cut, weld, repeat. And we're good.
Notch, cut, weld, repeat ♪
The hard part is notching.
Making everything flush and tight.
Notch, notch ♪
Just gotta put some tubes on and rock it.
Tubies.
Tubies.
This has a one-and-a half-inch slot,
so this pops together like a puzzle piece.
No, that's awesome.
They call this a tab and slot system.
This is more like a tab and oval system.
I'm gonna go over there and cut that.
- Yeehaw.
- Yeehaw!
Cut, cut, cut ♪
I wanna TIG weld all of it.
Put it together like a puzzle.
Weld, weld ♪
- I'm seeing your vision.
- Now all we gotta do is repeat.
Repeat, repeat ♪
Notch, cut, weld, repeat ♪
I'll do this rung.
I gotta make that tube
some sort of like a stairs cross brace.
Notch, cut, weld, repeat ♪
Until the truck looks ready
to plow through a field of zombies
without taking any damage.
Notch, cut, weld, repeat ♪
Boy.
-What do you think?
-This looks badass.
I'm gonna take it off,
finish TIG welding it, and ship it out.
Looks pretty rowdy, huh?
Oh my God!
Yo, Lace!
- Come help me with this Kevlar.
- Sure, Nelson. Let's do it.
Yep, awkward.
All right. We got our gigantic piece
of polycarbonate,
and now it's time to make Kevlar.
So our goal here
is to build Willy a detachable shield
that can mount to the exoskeleton.
So not only will it work as truck armor,
but he can easily remove it
and use it as a riot shield.
We're doing this
because we're trying to make a, uh,
if-the-world-were-to-end mobile,
and one of the biggest things
about when the world ends is
how will you defend yourself,
and how will you continue on,
and this will be the best way to do that.
- Protection.
- Protection.
The defense.
This is Kevlar.
So this is its natural state.
You can take this
and fold it five times over itself.
This panel would stop a bullet.
- Wow.
- Yes.
It is waterproof. It's chemical-resistant.
It doesn't degrade in sunlight.
That sounds awesome.
We'll peel
the protective layer off
to reveal our mold surface.
- Ho-ho.
- Huzzah!
There are a lot of steps
to making Kevlar panels.
First, you have to wax the living daylight
out of the polycarbonate sheets,
so that it provides a release agent
for the mold surface.
Let's go to the carbon rack. You pick
the carbon we'll do as the first layer.
Is that what you're gonna see?
-Yes. That'll be the beauty layer.
-Ooh.
Next,
add a layer of carbon fiber,
followed by a layer of Kevlar,
a composite panel layer to give it
extra thickness and strength,
then another layer of Kevlar.
Then add a layer of flow mesh.
This is to set up for the next step,
epoxy infusion,
which requires,
you guessed it, another layer of plastic.
The flow mesh acts kind of like a highway.
It controls where the liquid goes,
so that it's evenly distributed.
And before we can begin
the next part of the process,
we have to let it cure for 24 hours
and pray that we didn't screw anything up.
LBs!
Oh, is that the bumper?
How are we making out with that lift?
This'd go a lot faster
if you wanted to help me.
Shake it ♪
Wanna fire it up?
- We'll start with the body lift.
- Stop.
Put these spacers.
It's gonna give us our three inches.
That's what three inches looks like.
I know men get confused about that.
- That's a big three inches.
- Girthy three.
Lift kits are my specialty.
The bigger, the better.
You wanna level up your truck?
This is how you do it. Literally.
Why you playing around?
'Cause I don't know
what I'm doing, Don.
- Why you playing around?
- You try it.
You try it.
Ha-ha!
Okay.
Hey, Lacey. Why you playing around?
- Shake it ♪
- Ow!
That was right in back of my legs.
All right, so We're halfway done.
Hey, yo, yo, garage team,
where y'all at, man?
- He's here to help. Yeah, brother!
- Reinforcements have arrived.
How you doing?
- 'Sup!
- How's this going? What's up with this?
Oh, it's going.
So I've almost finished up
with the suspension.
Now, what's this over here?
Oh, that's crazy!
So what do you use the winch for?
Sticky situations.
Oh, so if you're stuck,
you can hook this onto something.
Shouldn't this thing, like, shoot out?
You know what I mean?
-No.
-Like Batman, Dark Knight, like "Pow!"
Be like
You know what I'm saying?
-No, I don't know what you're saying.
-Oh, these Nelson!
Nelson!
The man with the ideas.
It should have shooting grapples, bro.
I mean
Uh
Is it possible?
-Yeah.
-Yes!
Why are you
Why are you feeding into this?
- Get on board!
- Wait.
We about to make
a shooting, grappling thing.
But, uh, you have to help me.
-I
-I'm swamped.
Hey, D, can you cut this? Uh
-Want me to cut this?
-Can you cut eight inches?
And I'll get the bead blaster,
and you'll weld that to the bead blaster?
What're you making?
Either I'm making a bomb,
or I'm making something
that'll shoot something.
- Yeah.
- Oh jeez.
So Don is gonna take a pipe
that I found in spare parts
and use it as a barrel and muzzle
for our grapple hook launcher.
Oh, hell yeah.
I don't know what that is,
but that's dope.
This is a tire bead seater,
which is essentially
a powerful compressed air gun
used to set a tire onto a wheel.
We're gonna use that
as the heart of our grappling gun.
Then we'll attach a pipe
that will serve as a barrel.
Okay. And Oof! This is hefty.
Can you drill a hole in a tennis ball?
Can I cough
and marshmallows'll pay out my butt?
I don't know, man.
Me neither.
Chris'll have to take on
the complex task of using a power tool
for probably the first time in his life.
Let's make a hole,
and we'll put a knot in it.
Hey!
Explain to me exactly how this tennis ball
is supposed to represent
a dope-ass grappling hook.
Just think of this as your grappling hook.
And think of that as the way
of causing it to move through the air.
I got the air!
- Gear it up.
- I helped.
I hope to God this displaces air.
Because the barrel could explode.
This is crazy.
- Let's shoot this thing.
- What did you give him?
- A bead blaster.
- Ready?
- Yup. Watch out for the rope!
- Ready?
Yeah. Now, imagine
this is a grappling hook
and I'm Batman
or Batman's Black friend
Black Man.
Wait. Nope, don't do that.
- No?
- That's a problem.
- What's up?
- Sorry.
This looks bad.
This is a really high flow diameter,
so this has all the makings
to be a really powerful bomb.
- That's crazy.
- I'm putting the safety on this.
The sound it made when Chris pulled
the trigger set off some alarm bells.
If there's any sort of blockage,
it can cause what's known as
an overpressure failure.
In other words, if the pressure isn't able
to escape out the barrel
where it's supposed to,
it will relieve itself
in the easiest way possible.
I'm sure Chris would prefer to leave here
with all of his limbs intact.
Well, I love the fact we figured that out.
I'm out.
Nelson, get back to work.
Wait, no.
Come on, Mr. Grappling Hook.
You're doing this.
Nelson!
I'm coming around ♪
We're here connecting
a water filtration system.
In case we have to troubleshoot anything,
we can catch it now,
any leaks or anything like that.
But, uh, you think it's gonna work?
I'm so confident, in fact, that I'm gonna
go ahead and drink this water right now.
Seems like a lot of regret.
Does it even look clear?
Is it good?
I've had worse.
All right, Oscar, you're still alive,
so we need to put this in the truck.
- All right.
- All right?
The challenge is to figure out how
to hide it within the body of the truck.
The water tank happens to be
about the same diameter of the tire.
So we'll get rid of the spare tire
and hide the water tank in its spot.
All right, man,
so we got this thing mounted up.
But do you see the problem?
Yeah, we also have to modify this bracket
to get this to hold.
Our plastic water tank is mounted
right next to the exhaust pipe.
Oh. Yep. That's a big one.
Obviously, we don't have time
to get a whole new water tank,
and we're not gonna do
an intricate exhaust system.
But in the theme of this truck,
kind of Mad Max,
why not just cut the exhaust here,
and we do some type of a side exit exhaust
through the fiberglass.
I think that'd look good.
I mean, cut that thing out.
- Let's do it.
- Fire in the hole!
There she is.
This is kind of what it would look like.
What do you think, Saul?
I think it'd look better than it was.
Add that whole off-road look Mad Max,
but let the fab guys do that.
We're plumbers.
Yeah.
The three-stage filtration system
will live underneath the truck bed.
All of these work together
to deliver fresh water to the spigot.
I think we mount it somewhere back here,
and it's like, business in the front,
party in the back.
Okay, fresh might be a stretch,
but, hey, Oscar's still alive.
So I say it passes QC.
This is out of my wheelhouse,
building a grappling hook launcher,
but Chris wants it,
so let's get back to it and weld it.
Since Nelson had safety concerns
with the first barrel,
I'm trying this again.
It's either gonna be amazing or terrible.
But at least it'll look pretty.
This time, I'm using a tube
with a thicker diameter
to ensure nothing gets caught in there.
I'm also using a different technique.
It's like sewing. It's a little pattern.
I'm controlling the voltage with my foot.
This'll allow me to be more precise
and ensure that there are no gaps
where air can escape.
Boom. That's what we'd call
a machine weld.
It's just nice and dime,
melted together with no filler rod.
Now we're gonna put this together
and, uh, see if it works.
This is nice.
We're gonna shoot
an actual grapple hook this time?
Uh
Yeah.
I can't believe we're doing this.
Yeah, this is sketchy.
It's just Honestly, it's really sketchy.
Just in case,
we're gonna use this as our shield.
This'll either be amazing
or be the dumbest thing we ever did.
- Take the cannon.
- Golly, I'm nervous.
Here we go, guys!
Five, four, three, two, one!
Oh!
- No way!
- That's sick!
Bing!
Dude,
that thing's got some power to it.
It worked.
It didn't blow up either.
Maybe we shouldn't have shot
the electric pole.
We shot the grapple over.
This thing zoots!
- Yeah.
- Good. Great.
How're you doing over there?
Pretty good.
I'm about done adding
the last four inches of the suspension.
No thanks to Don.
What'd I do?
Got it under control, grapple boy.
Because it's easy ♪
You feeling real good about it?
We've got a lifted Ranger now.
You wanna come check out the final result?
What you got?
Picture this, okay? 35s.
Yeah. No, that's dope.
-I'm excited.
-That's cool, man.
All right.
Hey, Lacey.
Come help me finish up this Kevlar.
Of course, Nelson, 'cause I never
abandon you, unlike some people I know.
I got you on the next one, okay?
- Oh boy.
- I promise.
We are peeling it up?
Yeah. This back mesh is gonna be a bitch.
-The back?
-Yeah.
The Kevlar panel has had
enough time to cure.
But now we have very little time
to finish it.
There's the first piece.
Whoo!
Didn't know wrestling some paper stuff
was gonna be on the agenda today, but
Yeah. All right,
Now we gotta get underneath the carbon.
I'm gonna just start prying it up.
Is that a good sound or bad sound?
Usually it just pops right out,
but this one's kind of stuck. Ready?
Keep going.
Oh my gosh. What? That's so cool.
We had a bit of an issue
at the infusion step, but we solved it,
and now it's time to cut it up,
make some truck armor.
Whoo!
Let's get this bed on.
I don't know if I'm the best man
for this job, but all right.
Bring it down. Bring it down.
- There we go.
- Close enough.
- You good?
- Yeah.
- If we hit something, we'll hear.
- Yeah.
Oh sorry!
All right,
she's all yours, Shayna.
So the best part about this paint job is
that I've never used these paints before.
But before we get to these paints,
we're gonna bed line
the entire thing black.
Bedliner is typically used
to line beds of trucks.
As you can see,
it's super rough in texture,
and it just holds up a lot better
than what regular paint would.
So we're going to bed line
the entire outside of the truck too.
So spray paints aren't really
up my alley of expertise.
But all I do know is
it's gonna be bright as fu
It's gonna be bright as Willy.
Hey. What's up, dude?
So, let's get to it.
Like I usually do,
we're gonna pick up the spray can,
and we're just gonna let it flow
and see what
my mind comes up with on its own.
That is so badass.
I'm stoked about it. I love it.
Coffee break.
I'm cool with a coffee break.
Living the neon life is brighter ♪
That's why we're for a brighter life ♪
The neon life ♪
- It's a go?
- Yeah, it's looking good.
You guys finished yet?
All right, Big Lace, we put
a freaking faucet in this guy's car.
So, can you drink your own pee yet,
or what?
I don't know if that's the actual goal.
Would you?
If this is life or death, you know?
I started the zombie apocalypse ♪
Oh my God, you are a madman!
What's the sound?
Nelson, look at this.
Look at
-What is that?
-The stupidest, most amazing thing.
I can hear it
all the way across the shop.
You're You're pouring milk?
Hey, it's still filtering.
Will it filter pee?
Why does everybody want
to filter their pee?
I walk in at the wrong time
on every conversation with you guys.
Yeah, you definitely did.
I think we're almost there, guys.
- Jeez. Let's rock it out.
- Let's get it to the finish line.
I'm gonna go finish my panels.
Ranger has come a long way,
but we still have a ton of work to do
before we give it back to Willy tomorrow.
Oscar and Saul will attach the headliner
and Saul's one-of-a-kind custom seats.
Make sure you pull it evenly so its seams
land where they're supposed to.
This is a nice little baby seat
so it doesn't get that heavy dad slap.
Just a little baby slap.
Hey! ♪
Being a bad boy. Baby slap.
Meanwhile, Shayna is gonna get wild
with the interior panels.
With these colors,
how could it not look cool?
I know Willy likes to wear neon,
but hopefully he likes to ride in it too.
It's going to surely be one of a kind.
One of a kind.
As for me,
I'm gonna help Lacey attach
these big-ass wheels
Baby slap.
perfect for off-roading
through a field of hungry zombies.
One of a kind.
After that,
Lacey's gonna help Nelson
cut the truck armor
It could all, you know,
go down in flames when we do that.
add features to make it multipurpose
Nice. Nice. Nice.
Try me, bro.
Nice. Ni Ni Ni Nice.
If you are shaped like a seahorse,
you are more than You're protected.
and fit it to my baby, the exoskeleton.
- Go down in flames.
- Nice.
Finally,
the moment I've been waiting for.
Put the cage on.
Oh, I want to see the cage.
I'll put the cage on.
I wanna drop the cage so bad.
When are we dropping the cage?
We get to attach this bad boy
to the truck.
Put the cage back on?
That, my friends, is how you turn
a beaten-down Ford Ranger
into a neon apocalyptic
zombie-destroying machine.
- Go down in flames.
- Cage back on?
Willy, what's going on, man?
-What is up?
-I I
I love how you enunciate
every part of "what's up?" What is up?
Is that a pelvis speaker?
-Oh, uh
-We'll get to that later.
Willy, say what's up
to my ultimate garage team.
- Hi.
- What up, brother.
If you hate it, just blame Chris.
He told us to do it.
Don't blame me. Blame Netflix.
All right, ready to see this truck?
-Yep.
-Well, turn on your shoes and let's go.
Got to get 'em. Yeah. All right.
If this don't impress all the kids
at your son's birthday party,
then your son needs some new friends.
-I'm just saying.
-Here it comes, the end of the world.
That's the Armageddon
you waiting on, right?
Everything they did with your truck.
Radiation. Cyberattacks.
- Cyberattacks.
- Cyberattacks.
Is that what you get from that?
All right, Willy, close your eyes, man.
-No peeking, Willy.
-I'm not a peeker.
And open your eyes, Willy! Boom!
Whoa!
Ah, dude, that looks amazing!
We gave him a migraine. That's crazy.
Oh man. Is that mine?
Yeah, man. That's yours.
I I love the bars on it.
Well, that's my boy, Don.
So, Willy, I handcrafted
all these tubes around your truck
to build your personal own exoskeleton.
It's weird and wild,
but protects the whole body of the truck
so you can ram through something.
From there, I added the lights to it,
so no matter where you go,
you're going to be lit in the dark.
I don't know what to say.
The color's great too.
I wish I would've worn green today.
You don't need no more colors
on your body, my man.
Lacey, you wanna talk about
what you did to this thing?
Yes. So we got rid
of that crusty stepside bed.
We put a full-size bed on,
then we did a four-inch suspension lift
and then a three-inch body lift.
And with that, we were able to clear
these massive 35-inch Toyo tires.
This thing can get up anything.
You see all this crazy dope-ass paint?
That's my girl, Shayna.
Shayna, talk to us.
For starters, the textured black part
is actually a bedliner material.
It's used in all branches of the military
to protect from explosions and shrapnel.
- That's amazing.
- Yeah, man.
Yeah, shrapnel's out there.
Shrapnel be all over the place.
Based on what we knew about you
and your style and your personality,
we really latched onto
the bright and uniqueness of you,
so we went with all neon graffiti.
Yeah, man, that's like 17 gangs
on your truck right now.
I mean, it looks amazing. That's so great.
Nelson, my man, talk to us.
What'd you do to this thing?
I did something a little bit different.
On the exterior of Donnie's exoskeleton,
there's these little panels.
These are body armor for your truck,
but you can remove them.
There's a little clip here.
And you can actually use them
as a riot shield.
So this gives you the ability
to save yourself
-Whoa!
-with law enforcement,
zombies, or any government agency,
and it'll deflect or absorb
the impact of a .45 caliber bullet.
That's a UL class 1 ballistic resistance.
That is amazing.
Hey, yo, Oscar, Saul,
tell us what y'all got going on, man.
Well, we came up with
something really cool for the interior.
Willy, ready to check it out?
Yeah. There's more?
Yeah, there's more.
Whoa. It's a whole new truck.
So as you remember your seats
were pretty much tore up.
They were gray, nasty cloth.
So we had to do some vinyl
with some yellow plaid
and also some Alcantara suede on top.
New carpet.
I mean, we did everything on this.
I I mean, amazing.
I love these gauges up here.
I mean, I wanna take out
these brass knuckles
-You can.
-in case of an emergency.
Yeah! There it is.
- You wanna hit some zombies?
- Close hand-to-hand combat.
- There's a faucet in there, man.
- What is that?
So, part of being a survivalist
and all that
is obviously having
a fresh source of water.
-Yeah.
-So me and my brother became plumbers
to figure out how to plumb water
right into the cab.
And just like that, you have
-Wow!
-some fresh water.
- Oh, he drank it!
- There ya go.
Cheers.
Okay. Can we please show him
the idea I came up with?
- All right. Nelson.
- Yes.
It's time.
Time. Time. Yes, time.
So we have defense.
Now we got offense.
-Hell yeah.
-Yeah.
Now imagine this tennis ball is this,
the grapple hook.
Three, two, one fire in the hole!
Whoo!
Amazing! That's right, my boy!
- Whoo!
- That was tight. How you feeling, Willy?
You seen the car. You seen what's in it.
Would you say that your ride has been
- Resurrected?
- Yeah! Man, damn! Come on, now!
Yeah. This thing has been resurrected
from the grave.
But I also just wanna play with it,
you know?
Drive it like this. Let's go!
Yeah, you can't drive like that.
But that's the one thing you can't do.
I survived an apocalypse ♪
This thing is
the ultimate doomsday vehicle.
I think just being able to be prepared
for anything is huge,
and I really just wanted
for my family to feel safe.
And I think with this truck, like,
we can really get through
pretty much anything I can think of.
I survived an apocalypse ♪
I hate to say this.
I hope an apocalypse does happen,
so we get to put it to the test.
This is gonna crush
at my kid's birthday party.
Aaron brings joy to everybody.
It's a little dusty, but that's my baby.
- Oh my God.
- Garage team, assemble!
What about Lamborghini doors
on this thing?
I want it to be well done, techy.
I want it to be cool.
-See!
-Whoo, boy.
This is your car, my boy.
Oh, what? Let's go!
Ha-ha ♪
Yeah, yeah ♪
Looking good ♪
Good looking ♪
Looking good ♪
Good looking ♪
Ouch! ♪
Oh, I like that ♪
That's it, that's it ♪
Hey! ♪
