Dirt Every Day

Everyone knows that if you want to put 40-inch tires on a Toyota, you need to cut out the independent front suspension (IFS) and put in a solid axle. But Fred Williams and Dave Chappelle have other plans. They want to see just what it takes to stuff massive tires on an IFS truck. This all-wrenching episode of Dirt Every Day shows you what it takes to make modern trucks survive and clear 40s.

The Dirt Heads head to the dirt to try out the 2003 4Runner they built to clear 40-inch tires. The guys invite a few friends to bring their 4Runners along for the adventure as they tackle Fordyce, a challenging trail in Northern California.

Fred Williams and Dave Chappelle find themselves in Idaho with no way home, and they have a set of 37-inch Mickey Thompson tires. The plan is simple: find a truck, make it run, make the 37s fit, and drive home. And hit Dirt Every Day on the way.

The Dirt Heads have attempted to build sand machines before, but had less-than-stellar results. This time will be different. The guys start with a V8-powered Nissan Armada and remove almost a ton of weight to make it climb big dunes with ease.

Fred Williams and Dave Chappelle start in Bend and attempt to ride two Honda three-wheelers all the way to the Oregon coast. They were warned they would crash. They were warned they would die. They were called idiots. Only two turned out to be true.

Fred has been stalling on getting his red Ford GPW Flatfender Jeep finished and on the trail, and now it's down to crunch time. In order to make it to the big Moab Easter Jeep Safari, Fred gets Dave into the shop for some old-school knuckle bustin'.

Fred Williams surprises Dave Chappelle with something he wasn't expecting. To combine both Dave and Fred's favorite things, Fred picked a strange cab-over-style Isuzu and the guys turn it into an off-road machine in under a week.

The V-10-powered rock bouncer the guys built in Alabama needs to come home, so they have it hauled home, where they transform it into a nitrous-boosted mud machine. Then the Dirt Heads just need to find (or make) a mud hole to test it out in.

Fred Williams and Dave Chappelle are big proponents of keeping trash off the trail and out of the woods. To help keep trails clean, they decide to build a trash-hauler off-roader, then head to the dirt to help haul garbage away.

The great aluminum 4x4s from the UK have a reputation for being cranky, but that won't turn Fred Williams and Dave Chappelle away when they find a rusty Range Rover Classic. They hope to fix it up to explore some high mountain trails in Colorado.

Two favorite mini-trucks return, Fred Williams's Toyota, Clampy, and Dave Chappelle's Mazda, Maz-Grande. The guys are planning a fun rock crawling weekend in the Idaho outback, but first they need to get Dave's truck in crawl mode with lower gears.

Fred Williams and Dave Chappelle try to answer the age-old question: is it better to go car camping with a big SUV or a little SUV and a trailer? After modifying a Suburban and a Bronco II, they head off on an adventure to see how well each setup works.

The Dirt Heads decide to turn a little Suzuki Samurai into a pickup truck. After their adventure in Indonesia the year before, they want to duplicate the tiny truck build in the US. Can they chop and weld the Sammy into a longer, stronger off-roader?
