Seasons & Episode
Dave Chappelle has been working on a 1991 Ford F350 he calls Mom's Spaghetti, and he's running out of time to finish it before Ultimate Adventure, so Fred Williams has arrived to lend a hand. This truck is simple and cool-V-8 engine, manual transmission, doubler transfer case, and one-ton axles-but Dave has added his own flare with a custom air bag suspension and modified body to clear 40-inch tires while still sitting low and stable. With the clock ticking, the Dirty Heads double down to get the Mom's Spaghetti ready. Check it out this time on Dirt Every Day.
The first time Dave Chappelle joined Fred Williams on Dirt Every Day, they were taking Baja Bugs to the desert, but they eventually sold those cars and moved on. But it's time for another dose of Baja Bug fun and a return of the Dirt Heads. So, the guys unpacked their old airbrushed jackets and bought some new VW project cars to take out to the sand.
The M715 drives like a sack of rocks on the road, so Fred Williams and Dave Chappelle haven't touched it much since the covered wagon days. This time on Dirt Every Day, it's back to the shop to make it drivable then off to the trail to find out what else is wrong with it.
Do you really need big tires to run big rock trails? This time on Dirt Every Day, Fred Williams and Dave Chappelle outfit a little Chevy Tracker with tiny tires before heading to Moab to run the big rocks of Pritchett Canyon. Will they make it or break it?
The Dirt-Heads are back on two wheels, and this time they're in their favorite town of Moab. Dave is still trying to get Fred to ride, so this time they stepped up to a pair of Honda Trail 125s. These little classics are just the ticket for exploring southeast Utah, but will Fred be ready for a big bike soon, or will he be over the handlebars?
It's the return of Pond Scum the 4Runner-and the 4Runner friends of Fred and Dave. The dirty green 4Runner the guys built last season on Dirt Every Day is back, and this time they're going snow-bashing in central Oregon to see if their trick IFS suspension will work in the white stuff.
A few seasons back we built the Ranchota, part Toyota, part Ford Ranchero. But since then, it's sat collecting cobwebs. So when the Dirt-Heads decided they wanted to build a car-crushing monster truck, the Ranchota was chosen because, well, it wasn't being used for anything else. So can a clapped-out Toyota with Ford skins spin giant tires and squash some cars? Click the play button to find out on this week's Dirt Every Day.
Everyone was surprised when we said we wanted to wheel in Kansas, but Fred and Dave had a plan. What they didn't have was a truck. So they let their camera crew pick out a project truck, and it's a doozy. But we promise you'll Luv the results. This time on Dirt Every Day shows how you can find four-wheeling in just about every state in America.
Fred and Dave are gonna get in shape, and the most fun way to do that is mountain biking, but the climbing up the mountain part is way less fun than the bombing down the mountain part. So the Dirt Every Day guys came up with a plan to turn a 4x4 van into a shuttle bus for getting up to the top of the hill. Then they'll invite a few "real" mountain bikers to show them the ropes and see if they can keep up.
It's time for less wrenching and more wheeling, so Fred and Dave are off for a vacation with their mini trucks Clampy and Maz-Grande. They're on the hunt for three gnarly trails and some Colorado exploring since it's one of their favorite states. Tag along on this time on Dirt Every Day to see if these little machines can hold up against Colorado's finest four-wheelin'.
The new Bronco is taking the country by storm, and Fred and Dave got their hands on one. But how do the Dirt-Heads build a Bronco unlike every other one out there? Well, they start by cutting it in half, naturally! Can the guys transform a standard Bronco into a Bronco truck in just a few days?
It's time for the Dirt-Heads to build a YJ for Dave, but boy did Dave drag home a doozie. They'll have to undo a fair bit before they can start to redo it in normal Dirt Every Day fashion. The guys have just a few days to turn Butter Jeep into a trail machine and then head to Oregon's Tillamook Forest for some wheelin.'
