4xFred Williams

[Jakey_Recline]

You're the only one worked up here. I deal with you fools all the time. There is nothing special about you.

You’re right. I’m the one twisted up.

Was gonna post the same thing.

We don't care about go karts vs clapped out 4runners in this thread

One is a FToy and the other is tube buggy built off a toyota with a one link rear and three link front.

It seems like your friends with buggies are way overbuilt for the trails you run.

What else would you expect from Toyota people? These are the same idiots who think you need lockers to do a power line road. When that is your frame of reference yeah a full bodied rig with a not too stupid driver seems like it can hang.

Watched the video Fred just posted. I first figured 4290 lbs, but after he mentioned how stripped it was, I figured 3820. Which was within 10 lbs.

Where is my cookie?

I was way off, I guessed 3400 before all the shit was missing.

He is currently one state from the start of ultimate adventure. The new jeep is up and running and has about half of its parts on it.

Overbuilt is the best way to do it. Nobody wants to work that hard. Make the vehicle do all the work. And then have a Frosty barley pop.

Well the FToy is on leaves and I’m linked, he does have dual cases though, so who knows? Maybe in 2022 trucks aren’t cool if they’re not full of tube and don’t start at $10k.

Those days are gone. So much extra bs on new vehicles. I'd bet most trail ready JKU's are pushing 7k lbs or more

Trying to get back to the original discussion...

The other thing I see swag. Seems like every YT channel is at least selling stickers and t-shirts. I know there is probably an issue with MT holding the rights to a lot of stuff. I do see Fred wearing his Sasquatch hat, though. I can see Fred coffee mugs and apple pie plates and such.

From there, a lot are doing sponsored shows. Again, MT may have some non-compete clauses that keep Fred from doing that now. And it is sort of a mixed bag. You don't necessarily want to be seen just as a shill, hawking crap stuff. But I'm sure Fred has enough contacts that he could get some quality companies to get involved.

I'm not complaining. It means more heavier duty takeoff parts for us cheapskates.

There were some time limits built-in to their contracts that prevent them from doing things for a while.

According to my cable TV there's a new episode of DED finishing Dave's Ford for the ultimate adventure Suddenlink channel 89 at 8 pm fwiw. Also at 9 new episode of HRG something about a caravan with factory 5spd with factory turbo charger.

 

[Beat95yj]

He’s still posting videos but this is what the Jeep looks like on UA. He still has more stuff to install when he gets home.

Didn't have time to install the door hinge mounted duck shelf?

 

[06h3]

What size tire is he running on the JL?

Is that a factory front bumper? Looks weirdly proportioned

 

[Sandy Johnson]

I think it's a stock Rubicon bumper with the end caps removed.

 

[jimbo92]

AEV

 

[Sandy Johnson]

AEV

Oh yeah, that looks more like it than what I posted

 

[Beat95yj]

What size tire is he running on the JL?

37’s. He has some Rubicon flares but he did not have time to put them on. It rubs when it’s flexed out.

Fred is doing his first giveaway. He is giving away a rescue kit from quadratec. Details are in the video because I already forgot what they were.

I saw that thumbnail last night and thought it was an old video.

Brand new. 🤷‍♂️

 

[Beat95yj]

Today he released a 2 hour video on setting up ring and pinions with help from our buddy Eric from Motive Gear. I have not watched it yet and I am sure that there is enough information in setting up gears to make a two hour video but I’m not sure who is gonna sit through that. Thoughts?

 

[Mr.Ratbastard]

I would sit through it if I were getting ready to do gears in those same axles.

 

[Aisin]

So Fred is now a bolt on Jeep faggot?

 

[Beat95yj]

He built a Jeep for Cal 4 Wheel. It’s done now, not sure what’s next. He has about 20 projects remaining.

Good to hear he didn’t go full on ass plug.
