Dirt Every Day Extra

The results are still far from great as the Dirt Heads continue to film their own Dirt Every Day Extra show while sitting in their rental car during a rainstorm. This time, they attempt a high-speed, question-and-answer session.

The guys attempt to provide solid advice for off-roaders, such as deciding which transmission to use with an LS swap and their opinion of lifted Subarus.

Fred Williams and Dave Chappelle wrap up a week of self-filmed extras while discussing which all-terrain tire off-roaders should choose.

Fred Williams gives a quick tour of the Mahindra Roxor UTV, and to say he's impressed would be an understatement.

Meet Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine reader Johnny Wood who was invited to join this year's Ultimate Adventure, and learn about his 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 that he beefed up with Dana 60 axles.

Every year, Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine invites readers to enter its Ultimate Adventure off-road road trip, and this year, reader Rick Prater brought his Willys Wagon, the same Wagon we first saw in Moab, Utah.

Fred Williams and Dave Chappelle interview Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine reader Adams Clark to discuss what he did to his Jeep Scrambler to prepare for this year's Ultimate Adventure.

Chris Paul and Kyle Cunliffe talk to Fred Williams about how their Hummer held up on the Ultimate Adventure and what they did differently from the prior year. They also discuss what they liked best from the 2018 event.

Fred Williams and Dave Chappelle interview Tech Editor Verne Simons about the diesel-powered 1989 Range Rover he built to lead the 2018 Ultimate Adventure.

Dave Chappelle interviews Keith Bailey at Off-Road Connection about an early Ford Bronco that was at the shop for some upgrades and repairs. These early Broncos are very popular, and this example is clean and original.

The advantages of Dana 60 and Corporate 14-bolt axles from a CUCV military pickup truck are discussed, and how these axles come with 4.56 gears and usually have a rear Detroit Locker.

This time on Dirt Every Day Extra, we'll show you extended director cuts from the test drive in Woodchuck the Wood Truck we built for Dirt Every Day.

Fred Williams and Dave Chappelle stuff a big square truck made out of a van, some square tube and a bunch of wood into a ditch.

Dave Chappelle gives the lowdown on how he builds suspension links, things to consider like bungs, tubing, and how he welds them for strength.

Building a linked suspension isn't easy, but starting with some universal builder parts makes it a whole lot easier. See how starting with some basic parts, even if they are modified, is easier than building it all from scratch.

See a super-clean 1981 Jeep Scrambler that has V-8 power, big axles and massive tires. Also, the bodywork is nice and the size and stance are just about perfect.

You may not think there's much to them, but lug nuts are pretty important. On this episode of Dirt Every Day Extra, Fred Williams talks to you about different types of lug nuts and why he loves some and hates others.

The Garden Jeep is a 1946 CJ-2A that Fred Williams has had sitting for a while, but he's decided to get it going for an upcoming adventure. This Jeep has bad frame damage, so he's tore it down to the frame for repair.

Fred Williams discusses the T-90 transmission and Spicer 18 transfer case which were used in old Jeeps. As Williams reassembles the Garden Jeep, he stops and showcases some of the parts he's putting back into the vehicle.

Old Jeeps use really funky spring shackles that are shaped like a C and are not double shear. On this episode of Dirt Every Day Extra, Fred Williams discusses them and why he's still using them on the Garden Jeep.

The rear axle on the Garden Jeep flat fender that Fred Williams is rebuilding is a Dana 41. Williams talks about some of the quirky parts of this axle and what has to be dealt with when rebuilding one.

After a decade with a small toolbox, it was time for an upgrade. This time on Dirt Every Day Extra, Fred Williams shows you the new Craftsman toolbox that lives in the Dirt Head shed and why he upgraded.

Fred Williams discusses the front axle he's using on the Garden Jeep. He explains the difference between U-joints, Rzeppa joints, Tracta joints, and Bendix-Weiss joints.
