I need help with ideas for my tv show-heavy equipment mods?

Lol, but they do work. Im not planning on making my living off of youtube so I get to do anything I want on my videos. He's actually extremely frustrated having to tone down his vids so he doesnt upset a sponsor.

from what i've seen and read the whole youtube thing is a pain in the ass. i get keeping and generating viewers with clickbait titles but yuck it sucks! an i don't even know how the sponsor thing works now since all the big name companies backed out of youtube. i'm sure it's pennies on the dollar from sponsor's.

i've been watching both of you on youtube. ChuckE is good at it.

Fully functional power armour, like at the end of Aliens.

Put tracks on something stupid like an 18 wheeler or a crane.

How about something to fight forest fires. Think war rig from Mad Max Fur Road but more off road and a bunch of water nozzles. Or a fire proof bulldozer that can cut a huge fire line to stop the fire from spreading.

I also like the repowering idea. But that could be your side passion projects. Bringing life to old equipment. You could try making them electric for green reasons or something.


What about a drill at the end of a back hoe arm in place of the shovel. Like so it could be articulated over things.

Greyhound bus plus Greyhound bus to make one of those stupid articulating bendy busses but make it for a band that's on tour so it's all tricked out with stripper poles and a Jacuzzis and mirrors.

The shit at the end of Aliens was an exoskeleton forklift, not power armor. Power armor is like in Fallout.

Build a "killdozer" as stated above, but don't call it a killdozer; call it a therapydozer or something. Have SVO on for technical expertise and one-up stories; tv execs love shit like that. Then donate the "therapydozer" to a wounded veteran (sob story points stated above). After Frost receives his dozer have the cameras follow him on his eventual therapy session involving local government.

Make a tractorcopter, so you can fly anywhere, then move dirt.

watch some A-Team reruns - they had several shows where they modified big iron to beat the bad guys at the end.

That is actually a great idea. Watch the shows first, figure out if it is doable and then make it a challenge to recreate what the A Team built.

Build a detroit diesel 2 stroke powered catapult from an old crane
