Diesel Dave: THIS STUNT WE'RE ABOUT TO DO
IS ONE THAT THIS GUY RIGHT HERE HAS ALWAYS WANTED TO DO.
DRAG-RACE SNOWMOBILES
ACROSS ONE MILE OF WATER ON A LAKE.
ALL RIGHT, BOYS.
SO, WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH THESE?
WELL, WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER A VIDEO.
AND THESE SNOWMOBILES ARE GONNA BE TURNED INTO WATERCRAFT.
SO, BASICALLY, A JET SKI.
BASICALLY, A JET SKI, YEAH.
Heavy D: WE STILL GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO TO GET THEM READY
TO DRIVE ACROSS ONE MILE OF WATER.
FIRST, WE NEED TO DRAIN THE OLD FUEL AND THE OIL
AND TOP THEM OFF WITH NEW FLUIDS.
WE'LL CHECK THE COMPRESSION ON EACH ENGINE
TO MAKE SURE THERE'S ENOUGH JUICE TO GET ACROSS THE LAKE,
AND THEN SWAP OUT THE OLD SPARK PLUGS FOR NEW ONES.
THEN, WE NEED TO SEAL EVERYTHING UP WITH SILICONE
TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT DUMPING FUEL INTO THE LAKE.
AND FINALLY, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THESE 500-POUND MACHINES DON'T SINK TO THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE.
SO WE'LL NEED A FLOATATION DEVICE
SPECIFICALLY ENGINEERED FOR THESE MACHINES.
SO THIS ONE'S DEFINITELY GOING UNDER.
SO WE SHOULD PROBABLY THROW SOME MORE INNER TUBES ON IT.
BEEF HIS UP WITH, LIKE, A FEW OF THEM.
OH, YEAH.
NOW THAT THEY GOT THE INNER TUBES ON,
WE JUST NEED TO CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS,
ADD NEW OIL, CHANGE THE SEAT COVERS, OBVIOUSLY,
AND THEN THESE SNOWMOBILES WILL BE READY TO HIT THE LAKE.
Heavy D: THE TRACK IS ONE MILE LONG, THERE AND BACK.
THE KEY TO GETTING ACROSS WATER ON A SNOWMOBILE
IS KEEPING UP SPEEDS OF 60 TO 70 MILES AN HOUR
ACROSS THAT WATER.
SEE THAT WATER? IT'S LIKE ICE.
YOUR MIND SHUTS DOWN IN 40 DEGREES OF WATER.
Heavy D: ONE...TWO...THREE...GO!

-YEAH, BOY! -YEAH!
QUICK, PLAY SOME MORE OF THAT COOL UNDERWATER STUFF.
I GOT A PHONE CALL
FROM THE LOCAL SEARCH AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT
SAYING THAT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A VEHICLE
TO HELP THEM WITH THEIR UPCOMING TOURIST SEASON
TO HELP RESCUE PEOPLE.
WE HAVE THE SISU NASU, BUILT FOR THE FINNISH MILITARY.
IT'S A PERSONNEL CARRIER DESIGNED TO GO THROUGH WATER,
MUD, FROZEN TUNDRAS -- THAT KIND OF STUFF,
YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING --
BASICALLY GETTING ANYWHERE YOU NEED TO GET.
TO TURN THIS SISU NASU
INTO THE ULTIMATE SEARCH-AND-RESCUE VEHICLE,
FIRST, WE'LL SWITCH FROM THE MILITARY CAMO
TO A BRIGHT SAFETY-GREEN COLOR
THAT'LL MAKE THIS POP IN ANY TERRAIN.
THEN WE'LL TRANSFORM THE INSIDE OF THE REAR CAR
INTO A MOBILE COMMAND CENTER, COMPLETE WITH BENCH SEATING
SO THEY CAN CARRY A CREW TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN
OR BRING A VICTIM DOWN AND HAVE ROOM FOR A STRETCHER.
WE'RE GONNA DO A COMPLETE TUNE-UP ON THE GAS ENGINE
TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S CAPABLE, READY,
AND RELIABLE FOR ANY TIME THEY NEED IT.
WE'LL FINISH IT OFF WITH A COMPLETELY NEW
CUSTOM LIGHTING PACKAGE WITH L.E.D. LIGHT BARS ALL OVER
SO THAT THEY CAN SEE ANY TIME, DAY OR NIGHT.
THE SISU NASU IS ONE OF THE COOLEST VEHICLES
THAT I HAVE EVER AND WILL EVER OWN.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S GOING TO A GOOD CAUSE,
AND IT MIGHT EVEN SAVE A LIFE ONE DAY.
THE SISU NASU IS GETTING A FRESH COAT OF PAINT
SO THAT IT CAN STAND OUT IN THE WILD.
I'M ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING THAT I HAVEN'T DONE
SINCE HIGH SCHOOL SHOP CLASS --
A TUNE-UP ON A V-8 GAS ENGINE.
EW.
ONE NICE THING ABOUT THIS
IS THAT THE ENGINE SITS SMACK-DAB
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FRONT CAR --
AND MUCH EASIER TO WORK ON
THAN TRYING TO REACH UNDER THE HOOD OF A VEHICLE.
ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO. MOMENT OF TRUTH.
[ ENGINE STARTS ]
OH, YEAH.
THAT SOUNDS NICE.
♪♪
I'M HEARING SOMETHING.
LIGHTS.
WATCH YOUR -- LOOK OUT.
-WHOA! -WHOO!
-NICE! -WHOO!
THAT IS WHAT WE NEED RIGHT THERE.
-GENTLEMEN. -HOLY COW.
-THAT IS AWESOME. -SO, DID YOU SEE US COMING?
WE WENT ALL OUT. -THAT IS INCREDIBLE.
THAT'S AWESOME.
WE'RE NOT EVEN SINKING.
THAT'S CRAZY.
SISU NASU DON'T CARE.
Diesel Dave: HEY, WE'RE HEADED TO TEXAS TO HELP OUT
WITH THE HURRICANE HARVEY SITUATION.
WE HAVE A CONVOY LEAVING FROM OUR SHOP TOMORROW NIGHT.
F.U., HARVEY.
YEAH. F.U., HARVEY.
WE NEED SUPPLIES -- BOTTLED WATER, PILLOWS,
BABY FORMULA, THINGS LIKE THAT.
I'LL PUT A LIST UP ON THE POST, BUT IF YOU COULD DONATE
SOME OF THAT, WE WILL TAKE IT DOWN THERE
AND HELP THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS.
THE RESPONSE WAS INSANE.
PALETTES AND PALETTE OF FOOD AND WATER AND BABY SUPPLIES.
BUILDING BADASS TRUCKS IS FUN, BUT WHEN YOU CAN USE THEM
TO SAVE PEOPLE'S LIVES, YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT
WE'RE GONNA GO DOWN AND DO IT.
WE'RE BRINGING THE BRO-DOZER, MY FAVORITE.
WE PUT THE BIGGEST TIRES ON THAT WE HAVE.
WE'RE BEING TOLD THAT THERE'S 10 FEET OF WATER IN PLACES.
SO THE HIGHER WE CAN BE, THE BETTER OFF.
IT'S A 25-HOUR DRIVE, AND THE BOTTOM LINE IS
THERE IS PEOPLE THAT NEED OUR HELP,
WE HAVE THE ABILITY, THE OPPORTUNITY
TO GO DOWN AND DO IT, SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.
Heavy D: HERE IN WE ARE IN VIDOR, TEXAS,
A LITTLE TOWN JUST NORTH OF BEAUMONT.
AND THIS PLACE IS COMPLETELY FLOODED.
THE HURRICANE DUMPED 50 INCHES,
AND IT'S JUST LITERALLY OVERWHELMING THE TOWN.
IT'S TAKING OUT BRIDGES, ROADS.
WE JUST FLEW AN OLD GUY TO THE HOSPITAL WHO WAS UNRESPONSIVE.
THEY FOUND HIM IN HIS HOUSE, FLOODED.
THIS IS INSANE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
WE MIGHT GET STUCK.
FLOODWATERS HAVE GOTTEN SO HIGH
THAT THEY'RE TURNING NEIGHBORHOODS INTO ISLANDS.
SO WE'RE BASICALLY TRYING TO TRACK DOWN ANYBODY
THAT NEEDS A RIDE INTO SAFETY.
Diesel Dave: THEY NEED SUPPLIES, AND SO WE'RE LOADING IT
FROM OUR TRAILER, INTO THE STEWART & STEVENSON,
AND WE'RE DRIVING IT THERE NOW.
Heavy D: A LOT OF DAMAGE DONE.
LIKE, PEOPLE HAVE LOST EVERYTHING.
THIS IS NUTS, CRAZY.
WE JUST GOT TO GET INTO THE SUPPLY DROP
AND GET THIS FOOD TO THESE PEOPLE,
BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T EATEN
FOR, LIKE, A DAY NOW.
SO KIND OF A BIG DEAL.
