Watching this today I picked out a couple things that Ian and Jessie are a wee bit mis-informed about.

1. While showing the bead locks for project bottom drawer, She showed us Allied Bead Locks. With the molded formed ring she described as indestructible. Ask BigWoodie or KC4X4 how they do on rocks. Just made some new outer rings for Kevin, pics on my website.

2. They are using propane. I didn't catch where they got it, but were using a system that cost over $1100 bucks! Ian mistakenly described the forklift tanks to be filled with Liquid propane, and releasing it in a Gas form. Wrong. It is in liquid form until it gets to the converter that changes it to a gas.

Anyway, just a few things I caught. I was gonna email them, but none of the links to their site seems to be working.
 
I think Ian meant by the it releases as a gas as once it's not under pressure it's a gas. It's still under pressure until it gets to the regulator, isn't it? And they got it at gotpropane.com I believe he said.
 
They were using all new parts and using the electric solinoid (sp) (instead of the vac. lock out). All of it will cost $grand$ or more.

When they do a budget build they sould NOT use new parts. Get on the 4x4 boards and buy used parts. Thats what most of us cheap guys do. KC

very true, but the sponsors of these shows dont care about selling used parts!

Agreed. Since this was a show about using what you have and so on. www.propaneguy.com would have sold him a rebuilt unit for Little more than $300

Well as I took it, he was saying it let out gas, and it does, when releasing pressure by way of the bleeder valve. The pick up on a fork lift tank is at the bottom. It won't release gas until it's almost empty. Until then it's liquid
 
damn i thought i was the only one that watched that show.. i love how they build a tube chassis in 4 minutes.. also maybe jim can comment on this but i think they used a little over 100 ft. tubing. i think my chassis has way more tubing than that.. i am sure there is more bracing to be done but they lead u to believe that they are finished with it
