- You guys are used to seeing huge, shiny show trucks,
eight-plus inches of lift, 24-plus-inch wheels,
and 35-plus-inch tires.
But no, no, no, not today.
Today, we are with the pieces of (fart),
the daily drivers, and we're gonna be putting them
up to the test to see which one is the best.
Check it out.
(intense rock music)
(hand thumping)
All right, so first up, we have Arlen's Honda Civic.
Let's, take us through this build,
take us through this build.
- Oh yeah, I'm gonna be honest, man.
Not a whole lot to talk about.
A pretty stock, I do got some aftermarket
Acura Integra wheels on here really spice up the build.
That horsepower, none. (buzzer blares)
Traction, zero. (whip cracks)
Looks, negative seven. (buzzer hums)
But I'm gonna be honest,
I'm gonna win because Hondas, the pedigree behind them,
they always take dubs.
- You realize, this is the only car
in this competition, right?
- Yeah, that's why I'm gonna win,
because everybody knows Jeeps,
they'll probably break before they're even done,
and the Escalade, that's too much car, too much truck.
(hinges squeaking)
- All right, so next up we have my 2001 Jeep XJ Cherokee.
Pretty much the only thing that's aftermarket
is the sound system, and maybe them fog lights.
That's pretty much sums her up.
This thing is a tank, and the reason why I'm gonna win
is because it's a tank, and it's got the 4-0,
it's very reliable, my four wheel drive's very reliable.
Arlen already mentioned it,
the Sexcalade's just way too big, man.
It's just not gonna be able to handle all these tasks.
Arlen's driving a car, he's not gonna be able to compete.
And Meech has been having some,
some secret issues that I know about.
So I don't know, this could get a little spicy here.
All right, so next up we got big Meech.
This is, wait, what year is your Jeep?
What year is your Jeep?
- 2000. - 2000, okay.
Cherokee Sport, all right.
So very similar to mine.
It's just you have a lot more done.
- Just way cooler than yours.
- Just way cooler, all right,
thank you for that, appreciate that.
That doesn't always mean, you know, everything though.
And sometimes too much is not good,
but take us through what you all have done to this thing,
and why you think you're gonna win.
- All right, so it comes stock with death wobble.
We tried to fix that, so I got, like,
basically everything Rough Country offers for an XJ on it.
Mainly gonna win because of the side panels,
I don't know if he noticed them.
They're pretty aggressive.
I can go anywhere. - Oh, sure, yeah.
- So I hope there's some kinda off-roading aspect to this.
Besides that, I mean, put her in four, she goes about 60.
and I think that's all it's gonna take to beat the Honda.
This is the only one I'm really worried about.
I know Brad's- - Let's go.
- I know Brad's driving his Escalade,
so if you haven't seen,
he doesn't stay on the road too often,
so it should be a good one.
- All right.
Last but not least, we've got Brad.
You guys probably recognize Brad, lifts and levels,
suspension, all that good stuff.
He likes to take his vehicles off-road as you have heard,
but what are your plans today?
What's all on this build, and why are you gonna win?
- This build is very intricate.
So we'll start here, it's a 2005 Escalade ESV,
platinum, mind you, top of the line trim.
This vehicle new is about $70,000,
so clearly, it's the best one here.
It has HID taillights, or sorry, HID headlights.
One's very foggy, one's aftermarket,
so I definitely win the headlight department.
When I got it, the hood was smashed, the bumper was smashed,
the fender was smashed.
- Smash, smash, suh-mash!
- So, that's pretty much all I've done.
It's set up for high-speed cruising,
and it has the most TBs,
so I think that's all there is to say about that.
- All right, let's get after it.
- Two TBs, guys, two TBs.
- First up, we're gonna see how many people we can stuff
in each one of these beaters.
Obviously, one fun thing to do when it's winter,
and cold out here in Wisconsin,
we just like to stuff our vehicles full of people,
and go bounce off snow banks.
So, you gotta be able to have roomy beaters.
See how many people we can fit in these thing.
(intense rock music)
All right, so next up, we are gonna be stuffing the crew
into Meech's Jeep.
I don't think he's gonna be able to compete
with the Escalade, but we'll see how many
we can cram in here.
(light energetic music)
- (bleep).
There's (bleep) everywhere!
- [Man] Climb in, come on, now!
- [Man] Come on in, boys!
- [Lawson] This ain't squad life Carolinas.
(man groans)
- Come on in, man.
- My God, he's pressed up against the window!
Like, what is going on?
(Lawson laughs)
Look at these guys, holy hell.
I think Meech did a fantastic job.
Obviously, it'd be a little harder
to roll down the street like this,
but he still crammed in way more people
than I thought he'd be able to cram in here,
and way more people than I'm gonna be cramming in mine,
I'll tell you that for sure.
Talk about the next one.
(light energetic music)
All right, next up is, you know, old reliable right here.
This is my Jeep.
And we're gonna cram some people in here.
We already got some people in the front seat.
We're not cramming as many people
as we crammed into Meech's.
I got a sub back there,
we're gonna start breaking some stuff.
So, I'm already gonna give it off to Meech,
but let's see how many people
we can cram in here comfortably.
(light energetic music)
All right, I think I got three people.
That's it, three people, that's all I got, sorry.
(record scratch)
Sorry!
All right, next up, we got Arlen's Honda Civic.
Now, they're already starting to pile in this thing.
This is gonna be super interesting.
Obviously, with it being a car, it's super small,
and we got a lot of big dudes here,
and we're gonna cram as many
as we can into this Honda civic.
Let's see what happens.
- [Man] Lemme crawl in there, brother.
- [Lawson] Oh my God, they got the trunk open.
- [Man] Put him in the trunk!
- [Lawson] Put him in the trunk!
- [Man] Come on now!
- [Lawson] Arlen wants a win, get in there!
- I'm winning this bitch!
Somebody sit on my lap!
(car horn beeping)
- There's a whole-ass another human
in there already?
Oh my God.
They got two humans in the trunk.
They got three people in the trunk!
(man shouts)
I see three, I see four, I see five.
I see six, I see seven, I see eight, I see nine.
That's nine people right there.
- We need one more! - We need one more!
- They need one more!
I don't think that they could fit one more.
(Lawson laughs)
Oh man!
All right, nine, Arlen's car has got nine.
- [Man] What just happened?
(man groans)
- I got you, man! - All right, all right,
all right, all right.
- Oh my gosh, there's one more?
What the (buzzer)?
Damn, that bitch deep!
- We're gonna see how many people
we can stuff in Brad's Escalade.
There's already a couple of people in there rocking around.
But if you pan over to my right,
you see that we brought up a bunch of people
from the company.
And we're gonna stuff literally all these people in
just like a clown car.
Let's check it out.
(light energetic music)
(guys laughing) - No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
(guys laughing)
- [Man] Hey, we're in, we're in!
- [Man] Get in!
- You can haul a lot of people in this thing, huh?
Very comfortably, yes.
Oh my goodness.
They need even more people
There's even room for me!
All right, so as you can see, easily, Brad takes the winner
on how many people you could stuff into the beater.
This thing is insane.
(man crashing) (guys laughing)
(rock guitar fanfare)
Next up, we have a time trial,
where myself and these guys are gonna rip down the road,
take a left-hand turn,
speed up to a stop sign,
and slam on our brakes.
It sounds extremely not safe whatsoever, but super excited.
Let's do it.
(intense rock music)
Three, two, one.
(counter beeps)
- All right, all good driving.
I'm not gonna be able to turn.
Gotta start stopping now.
Oh, okay, it stops about there now.
A little drift, a little drift.
Ohp, getting a little sideways.
Stopped.
(intense rock music)
- Hondas have won historically every single time attack
ever in the history of ever,
so I got a lot of confidence here.
Three, two, one.
(counter beeps)
Oh!
This way a four high would've been good.
Come on!
Oh no, oh no.
I'm gonna whiff it.
(Arlen whimpers)
Oh yeah, I did it, I did it, let's go!
I've got no traction on it.
Oh!
Let's go! (laughs)
(intense hip-hop music)
- [Lawson] Three, two, one, go.
(counter beeps) - Here we go.
Could it be here?
Dammit.
- All right, well, last, but not least.
Let's see if, let's see how fast we can make this happen.
- [Man] Three, two, one!
(counter beeps)
(intense rock music)
How good did I do?
- [Man] 39 seconds.
- Let's go!
How good was that?
How good is compared to everyone else?
- [Man] I'll tell you after.
- Oh, man. (rock guitar fanfare)
- For the next challenge,
we are gonna see what everyone picked up their beaters for.
Obviously, with it being a beater,
you want the cheapest, but best performing beater.
Next up is how many miles are on these poverty sleds.
Let's go check it out.
How much did you get this thing for?
And how many miles are on it?
- I can't tell everyone that,
'cause then when I go to sell it,
then everyone's gonna know what I paid for it.
- Tell us.
- I paid 1,400. (cash register chimes)
- Wow, for a pile, that's cheap.
- Yeah, but it was, it's been wrecked like five times, so.
- Oh yeah, that's right, that's right, that's right.
How many miles are on this thing?
Can't be two many, 'cause it's been sitting on lots
and wrecked, right?
- It's got like 230 on it.
- Oh, that's actually kinda up there.
Dang, all right, well, there you guys have it.
$1,400, 230,000 miles on it.
All right, so next up for you,
We want to know how much you paid for this pile,
and how many miles are on it?
Not pile, I'm sorry.
- Thank you, 1,700 bucks. (cash register chimes)
And it's got 125,000 miles on it.
- Well, sheesh, look it, this thing's nice!
- Yeah, she's mint.
- This is, the thing's, this thing's mint.
Put a little bit of work into her and now it's looking nice.
- Oh, he didn't touch it.
- Oh, he didn't touch it, all right.
All right, so next up, how much did you pay for this?
And how many miles are on it?
(snowball clatters)
(crowd booing)
I actually picked this up for $2,200.
(cash register chimes)
It's got about 165,000 miles on it.
Zero issues, haven't had a single issue with it at all,
and can't complain, it was right around that beater price.
All right, so next up, Arlen,
tell us how much did you pay for this thing,
and how many miles are on it?
- So price-wise, about five years ago,
I bought it for 2,200 bucks, (cash register chimes)
and I put zero dollars into it,
I just wanna point that out for all the other guys
that bought vehicles for $1,400, Brad.
But yeah, and then in terms of mileage,
we got a cool 240,000 on this puppy,
and at least 200 billion more.
So, we're good to go.
- Decent, decent, and you put zero dollars in this thing.
- Yeah, I changed the oil once.
- No oil change?
Oh, so just some oil changes, all right, all right,
and some gas.
All right, well, that's not bad, nice, decent.
(rock guitar fanfare)
All right, guys, there you guys have it.
That is our Winter Beater Challenge.
Obviously, I think we all know who won this.
(crowd boos and claps) It wasn't me, unfortunately.
Brad, get up here.
All right, come on, Brad!
Come on down for your prize!
- If it was like a wizard staff or something,
that would've been great.
- Yeah, a wizard staff?
Yeah, well, there was a wizard staff,
and then it broke, the hot glue does not hold up well
with negative 20 degrees, I guess.
So, anyways-
- You should've got cold glue.
- What?
- Yeah, you used hot glue,
you should've used cold glue, dude.
- All right, all right, all right.
Anyways, how you feeling?
And what do you think set yourself apart from the rest?
- I'm feeling really good, I mean,
I was confident from the get-go.
General Motors never loses, it's quite clear.
You know, the all-wheel drive system was just flawless,
of course.
And the two TBs, you know, those were working real good.
And three of the four seat heaters were working.
So, I mean, there was no way I was gonna lose.
- All right, guys, there you guys have it.
That is our winner, Brad, for our Winter Beater Challenge.
If you guys enjoyed this video,
we have a ton of more winter beaters around this place.
Let us know down in the comment section below
if you guys want us to do that.
And of course, if you guys need wheels,
tires, suspension, accessories, customoffsets.com.
Brad, Brad, there's still beer in here!
(upbeat funky music)
