Speaker A
These things are so mint. Buckle up because this is a good one, and I'm freaking pumped.
Speaker A
This is king of the road right here. He's yanking me now. Hey friends, just sitting here enjoying some tacos with the boys, and we're sitting here talking about all the stuff that we've got going on. And we're also
Speaker A
sitting here talking about why we haven't posted a video in like 3 or 4 weeks. We just got home from like a gnarly 3-week travel blitz. In the last two weeks, I've been in 15 different states. When you're on the
Speaker A
road and you're just running and gunning, it's hard to be able to put out content that you're proud of. We have been down to Lake Pal. We did one of the biggest recoveries we've ever done down there on a giant houseboat. We went to
Speaker A
Polaris Dealer Show in Nashville. We went to the Dodge Roadkill Nights in Detroit. Went to a grand opening of a Peterbilt dealership in Ohio. Picked up a helicopter, flew it home. It's just been—it has been chaos. So, we do have
Speaker A
some videos coming for you. Um, and then we also have some updates for you on the CH46 Frog, the baby SH-60 helicopter that's coming very soon. We also have been working on getting another yard sale put together because remember, remember
Speaker A
last year we started—we had a yard sale, kicked it off, did really well, and then it got stopped because of the lawsuit that we were in with the Utah Physicians, and then I got put in jail and
Speaker A
everything kind of went sideways. Well, we still have a bunch of stuff that needs to be sold. Naturally, we're just sitting around the table here now, uh, brainstorming as we eat some tacos.
Speaker A
Dave. Dave. Brian just texted me these. Worth looking at. That's all I got for you.
Speaker A
Are those his? Yeah. Wait, Cummins. Whoa. He's selling these. Yeah. There's Cole just came in and showed me.
Speaker A
Our buddy Brian up in Bear Lake, um, sent him a picture of a couple of vehicles that apparently he somehow got his hands on—two absolutely, well, they appear absolutely like mint, gorgeous Dodge Ram Chargers. It's the old, uh,
Speaker A
Dodge SUV if you're not familiar with them. But best part is apparently they're both Cummins swapped. Dodge did not offer these with the Cummins option from the factory. Yeah, those are the color is not my favorite. It's like the
Speaker A
color of flesh. Like this color is Caucasian with like a hint of jaundice. Those are sick. And they're—those are like super rare. I'm going to call Hans real quick because Hans knows Brian.
Speaker A
They're cool. They're—I mean, they're—they're dope. They're really dope. And yeah, I would love to have them. But what two items are you going to get rid of if you get those two items?
Speaker A
We can talk about that part later. I mean, I think the first part of this conversation needs to be about acquisition, and then we can talk about liquidation later.
Speaker A
Does that sound fair? Okay, good. Um, so seems like a—seems like a real David Sparks purchase right now.
Speaker A
Seems like a solid plan, and I think the team's all on the same page, right team?
Speaker A
Yes. Yes, team's all set. So, um, appreciate you giving us the blessing. Sounds good. Thanks, buddy. Can't hear you. It's breaking up by the carrier.
Speaker A
Got to get off the phone before he starts trying to make me feel bad about it. We'll try Brian one more time.
Speaker A
We're just about ready to go. But before we go, I got to share some good news with you guys. Sponsor of today's video is one of my favorite brands in the entire world. It's AG1. But the really good news is AG1 just took their product
Speaker A
and they made it a whole lot better. And I'm going to tell you how. This right here is AG1 Pro. So AG1 Pro now comes with 5 g of Crea Vitalis, which is a really high-quality German-made creatine, but it also comes with CA
Speaker A
HMB, which is calcium beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate. What does that do? Well, that supports lean muscle growth, that supports energy levels, and finally it comes with zinc carnosine. So, three new ingredients in the Pro Pack, and they're not just like, "Oh, those are kind of
Speaker A
cool." Like, those are game changers. The way that I'm able to sustain my go-go-go-go lifestyle and just feel more consistent, steady energy has been thanks to products like creatine and AG1. So, now that it's together in one
Speaker A
simple, easy-to-drink stick pack with AG1 Pro, I cannot tell you how excited I am. You take 8 to 12 ounces of cold water. I like cold water. You can do juice. You can do other stuff if
Speaker A
you want. In our life, we're missing a lot of key nutrients, vitamins, and minerals because we're just not getting them in our diets, especially not like our ancestors used to.
Speaker A
If you ever been wondering why I like AG1 so much and why it's something that I just kind of, like I said, is non-negotiable for me, it's right here.
Speaker A
You got daily support for energy, gut health and digestion, stress and mood balance, brain and nerve function, immune health, healthy aging, and nutrient replenishment, plus advanced gut lining support, plus metabolic health, plus muscle strength and recovery. See those three new ones in
Speaker A
green? That's what you're going to find in the new AG1 Pro. Plus, if you click the link in my description below and go to drinkag1.com/heavysparks or scan the QR code with your welcome kit of the AG1 Pro, go to their
Speaker A
website, you place an order for the AG1 Pro, which you should go now because it's going to probably sell out pretty quick. You're going to get a welcome kit. With that welcome kit, you're going to open it up. It's going to have all
Speaker A
your information. It's going to have your AG1, which I already pulled out, but it's going to come with a free shaker.
Speaker A
So, click the link, place the order, and thank you AG1 for sponsoring today's video. And thank you for restocking the AG1 Pro because I hate carrying around a bunch of different supplements. Keep it simple. One stick pack, good to go.
Speaker A
Good news, guys. I got a hold of Brian, and we made a deal. I think we got to go look at them first. Make sure they are what I think they are. Photos look really good. We're going to fly up there
Speaker A
because it's like a 2-hour drive and only like a 30-minute flight. Drop a couple guys off. And like I said, if they check out, bring them back, send Brian some money. I've never driven a Ram Charger with a Cummins in it. In fact, I've only
Speaker A
driven a Ram Charger once or twice my whole life. And that was like back when I was a kid. So, I'm getting a little bit nostalgic and excited.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. Heat up here. It's always such a confusing experience for neighbors. Yeah, because my helicopter still says Lifeflight on it because it's painted onto it, and I haven't done the paint on it yet. So, they always think that maybe an
Speaker A
emergency or something's happening, but it's just some guys coming to look at some trucks, which feels like an emergency to me. Speaking of, holy balls, dude. Gave.
Speaker A
These things are mint. Why didn't we just know about these anyway? I don't know. Hans says Brian's had them forever, which I don't think he's had them forever. I think that's a Hans exaggeration, dude.
Speaker A
Paint on these is perfect. All right, they've been painted. So, that's not the original paint. Somebody chose this color.
Speaker A
Somebody chose albino nude. Somebody chose albino nude. Doors shut. Nice. Yeah, they really do.
Speaker A
Oh, that's usually like the one thing with old vehicles that sucks is slamming doors, and dude, no rust. Pop that hood.
Speaker A
Let's see what these conversions look like. I think some of you understand how rare it is to find vehicles like this. Some of you don't. First of all, the Ram Charger alone is a rare vehicle to find. Like they just—they're
Speaker A
not very common. And the ones that remain are not in great condition. That is just really hard to find. So to find two of them that are super clean that have that is so bizarre.
Speaker A
And those are actually like really clean conversions. Headliner, seats. Everything's like immaculate. Want that jump pack?
Speaker A
It's not, dude. It's not. Nope. Heat. Heat. Dude, that thing is like tight. Tight.
Speaker A
No. Yeah. Yeah. I—I was g
Speaker A
Come on, man. We got to test this thing out. Everybody pile in. I believe there.
Speaker A
Yeah. This thing seats I mean, legally it seats six. Probably comfortably seats eight. Well, at least four up here.
Speaker A
Maybe three back there. You can fit a high point. power windows. This one's a 90. The other one, I'm guessing, is probably close to the same.
Speaker A
That's You feel that, dude? It's just like Yeah. No, it feels There's nothing falling off or rattling.
Speaker A
Feels like we're back in 1995 driving this thing around. Oh, dude. We should go cruise main.
Speaker A
Dad. Dad would never let us take this thing out. Shakes. Oh, you know what we should do? There's going to be some shakes.
Speaker A
That's exactly what we're going to do. This is it. It's just I don't know. It It almost looks like It looks like a factory uh conversion. The way they did the dash and everything. Like the dash isn't cracked. Literally, the only flaw I'm
Speaker A
seeing on this thing is the headliner needs to be put back up, which is super easy.
Speaker A
You can do that. Even the carpet's clean. Spray that stuff in there. That no the entire side window.
Speaker A
That'd be sick if those open. Well, I thought you were telling me it fall down.
Speaker A
I had no words, bro. Look at it go. Yeah. I can't believe this. Oh, this is this is king of the road right here.
Speaker A
Yeah. I've never been a Power Ram or Power Wagon. Power Wagon's. Bro, the dash is incredible. Anybody who knows these old firstg Dodges knows that this is like probably the most valuable part. And the AC works like well,
Speaker A
man, I'm in love. I'm in love and I don't care. Who knows? Tell me these shakes are just fantastic.
Speaker A
They're lovely, right? Well, my friends, we got milkshakes, I got a burger, and I'm pretty sure we're buying two of the cleanest Ram Chargers I personally have ever seen. Definitely doing the deal after driving both of them. They're both just, you saw, clean,
Speaker A
tight, very well done. So, now I'm going to basically let Brian know we're gonna buy them. I'll send him the money. And he said, "If I want them, we'll just take them home." So, we're going to leave a couple of the boys here to grab
Speaker A
these. Biggest question now is who's going to drive what? You want the two wheel?
Speaker A
I I want the four-wheel drive one, but I'll take either. You want the four-wheel drive?
Speaker A
Yeah. We'll get it then. I thought for sure you were choosing the two wheel drive then. Who's driving the two wheel?
Speaker A
I'll be in that one. Johnny boy, John, be careful with her, man. I'll be careful.
Speaker A
This is a lot of truck for you. I'm a careful man. This is a lot of truck for a guy like you.
Speaker A
Treat you well though. I know. All right. Well, safe travels. We'll see you boys in the shop.
Speaker A
Peace. Heat. Heat. Goodness gracious. Thing sounds scary. All right. I love this. This is making me want to get an old truck so bad, especially to come and swap more.
Speaker A
Word on the street is that we might be giving these things away. So, I am very jealous of whoever gets the lucky draw.
Speaker A
All right. So, obviously I can't drive both vehicles. I wish I could, but I got to be in one. And so, I'm going to have the man who taught me how to drive essentially, my uncle John, he's going
Speaker A
to drive the other one. You can drive the four-wheel drive one. So, flip around back up. So, in the two wheel drive versus two wheel drive match, I feel like it's going to be pretty damn near equal.
Speaker A
Uncle John's a mad man, too. Like, don't let him fool you. This man has almost killed me several times in the course of adventure.
Speaker A
All right. All right. Somebody give us a go. No way. Wow. That was unexpected. All right.
Speaker A
Well, that was really didn't go hard enough. That was pretty hard. Can't breathe in there.
Speaker A
Tell you guys a little trick. The trick in any tugof-war, let the other truck break traction first. Once their tires are spinning, you just kind of run along. It's like pulling them on ice.
Speaker A
But now, Uncle John's putting her in four-wheel drive, which is probably going to be a little bit of a different story. I don't know if I'll be able to have him get all four spinning. So, tell him to take the slack out. That was
Speaker A
actually pretty interesting though because I thought it was going to be a fairly I mean I guess if we both floor at the same time it would be more fair but I want to see if we can get traction
Speaker A
again. All right. Oh, he's yanking me now. All right, fair enough. Okay, go back in two wheel drive one more time. Back it up and put it in two wheel drive one more time. Okay, one final round. Two wheel drive versus two
Speaker A
wheel drive again. And now my tire's nice and hot. I'm going to see if we can both burn them. All right.
Speaker A
That is impressive. I It has to just be for the tires because these things are damn near identical.
Speaker A
That is so surprising. I mean, I don't They My tires were hot. That might be the only difference. These tires are a little a little less tread, but they're pretty damn equal. I don't know why that one in two wheel drive
Speaker A
does so well against that one. Cuz that one technically should be doing better cuz it's pulling from a little bit higher, too.
Speaker A
Good match, sir. Is that how you taught me? We do. Can't breathe in there.
Speaker A
They're both identical when it comes to the conversion. They're both bone stock 12 valves, which I think make like 180 horsepower from the factory. So, I don't think they're they might be turned up a little bit, but stock turbos, everything
Speaker A
else like that looks like it's pretty much bone stock. Heat. Heat. Well, folks, there you have it. Two of the cleanest Ram Chargers I personally have ever seen. Yes, they've been painted, but the paint job was actually legit. They did a really good job. I
Speaker A
don't know much of the story on these. I'm still waiting to hear back from my buddy Brian. I bought them from. He's out of town up in Sturgis has had bad service. He barely had enough to be able
Speaker A
to say, "Yeah, I'll sell them to you and, you know, make a deal." I still don't know what I'm going to do with them. Like, you almost just want to leave them as is and not like do anything cuz they're so classic and
Speaker A
cool, but they're also so classic and cool that they're almost worth doing something to. So, do we leave them stock and then then just drive them? That's not a bad idea. One idea that I have, which you guys may like, which I'm not
Speaker A
100% set on yet, is we might do a like a twin giveaway, do some light mods to them, make them even cooler than they are, build them up and give them away. I don't know. But what I will tell you is
Speaker A
we're going to do another video on them, but we're going to take them and do more comparisons cuz the tugof-war was actually really fun and quite surprising. Like even when we had both, like the first one wasn't fair because I
Speaker A
let John start burning out. Second one, four-wheel drive, obviously beats two wheel drive. The third one, we were both burning out and the two wheel drive still pulled it like pretty well. So, what I'm thinking is we should do a tow
Speaker A
test, put two equal trailers on them and go up like a steep gnarly canyon, see how they do, show you how like old school trucks used to tow. Uh, uh, do an off-road test. We'll go to an off-road trail and and obviously the
Speaker A
four-wheel drive is made for off-road, but two wheel drive has been very surprising. So, they're legit. Let us know what you think. Drop a comment below. Let us know. So, should we build them, leave them, drive them, give them
Speaker A
away? The choice is yours. Match denim suit. No, but they can. Thank you. There you go. That's big stogy you got there.
Speaker A
Thank you. Statue of Liberty play. Yep. Time pass. Don't stare right at it, everyone.
Speaker A
I'm trying not to. It hurts. Probably really good for you to breathe in.
