Private Notes
On this episode of Dirt Every Day, Fred heads deep into the woods of Pennsylvania and the Line Mountain 4-wheelers off road race course where off-roaders have been racing for 40-years. Fred's reason for venturing into the sticks is to check out a Ford Model-A off road racer and compare it to a modern day off-road race buggy.
On this episode of Dirt Every Day, Fred Williams dons his bib overalls and heads to the family farm in Pennsylvania to see if a new 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon can work the land as well as an old 1951 Willys CJ-3A jeep.
A few years back Fred Williams had an old Chevy Army truck that was stolen, so when he came across a deal on another '86 Chevy CUCV K30 truck, he jumped on it. Fred heads to the Off Road Connection in Alabama to start the process of building the Alabama Army Truck. First step, get it running and see what it will do in stock form.
Fred Williams continues to work on the Alabama Army Truck with some big-time upgrades! He continues at Off-Road Connection in Alabama to bolt on the new suspension, wheel and tire setup and some lockers all around. See how it turns out when Fred takes the truck off-road!
On this episode of Dirt Every Day, Fred and the Off Road Connection crew decide it's time to seriously upgrade the power on the Alabama Army truck. The solution? Ditching the old diesel 6.2 liter V8 for a Chevrolet Performance eROD 6.2L straight out of a Cadillac CTS-V!
Fred Williams says goodbye to the Alabama Army Truck with a mud bath. A few years back Fred had an old Chevy Army truck that was stolen, so when he came across a deal on another '86 Chevy CUCV K30 truck, he jumped on it. First step was to get it running and see what it will do in stock form. From there, Fred added bigger tires, a lift kit and a supercharged Chevrolet Performance eROD 6.2L straight out of a Cadillac CTS-V! Now, with the project complete, Fred rewards himself and the truck with a mud treatment.
Fred checks out the Sportsmobile 4x4 Ford Van. The Sportsmobile is great if backcountry exploring and camping are your favorite pastime. It is designed for off-road use and has everything and the kitchen sink. But how does a monster Pace Arrow motorhome compare for off roading? Fred finds out when they RV in the dirt.
Every year Petersen's 4-Wheel and Off-Road goes on a weeklong off-road adventure and builds a crazy 4x4 to lead the trip. Fred takes you to Shaffer's Offroad to see the project truck they are calling the Ultimate Super Dirty get transformed from a run of the mill 3/4-ton to a off road trail slayer.
Fred Williams and his team of stunt drivers compare a 1946 Willys Jeep to a John Deere Gator to determine the best little 4x4 of new and old. Will cool, old reliability beat out neat, new off road technology?
If you've ever wanted to go Desert Racing and didn't know where to start we're here to help. Fred visits the Tahoe-Reno Motorplex to drive a Wide Open Excursions car. These are off road race buggies that you can rent and learn to drive off road.
Fred Williams takes you rock crawling in his 1986 Toyota pickup that he calls Clampy. Clampy is a rusted, battered and beat up old truck stuffed full of strong Toyota parts and big Dana axles all turning 40-inch tires. This iconic old beater still does great boulder crawling in the desert.
Fred Williams – “There are many episodes of Dirt Every Day that stand out to me. I love the 4wheeling with mom episode and the Wagoneer rescue episode since that Jeep is my favorite thing to drive. The Mad Maxxis build was so much fun and the underwater Jeep episode was just epic. But the Baja Bugs episode where Dave and I started an off road club and we bombed around in Baja Bugs is still my top episode. It was so raw and unfiltered and we just had a blast. The cars weren’t even 4wheel drive and yet we had a hoot ripping around in the desert of southern California in them. Plus, it was when we forged the name of the Dirt-Heads, our unofficial official off road club for both Dave and I and all the viewers of Dirt Every Day. Thanks for Watching all you Dirt-Heads!”
