In this exhilarating episode of Hoonigan, we delve into the captivating world of off-roading and pay homage to the legendary Four Wheel Parts. Founded by the intrepid George Adler in 1961, this company has become a powerhouse in the off-road industry. Adler's keen eye spotted an opportunity in a catalog selling off-road parts, and he seized it by starting his own catalog parts company, which we now know as Four Wheel Parts. As the years went by, the company expanded its reach with the advent of the internet, allowing off-road enthusiasts from around the world to access their extensive range of products with just a click of a button.
But enough about the history, let's get down to the real action. We have two remarkable trucks lined up for you today. First up, we have the infamous 1447, owned by the internet sensation himself, Darren Parsons. This beast of a machine has undergone numerous transformations over the years, and it currently boasts a fresh 427 engine from Texas Speed. With over 20 race wins and championships under its belt, this truck is in its prime state today. Its ranger suspension, inch and 3/4 I-beam setup, and King 30 bypass 35 foil over 35 Bypass shocks make it a force to be reckoned with on any terrain.
Next, we have the awe-inspiring 1974 F100 Tundra, brought to us by the talented Eric Connor. This truck is a work of art, with impeccable fabrication and a unique center mount setup. By positioning the engine behind the firewall, Connor has achieved optimal weight distribution, resulting in incredible performance. Powered by a 454 LSX engine, this truck produces a jaw-dropping 750 horsepower at the crank. Its j-arm front suspension, coilovers, and big bypass shocks allow for an impressive 24 inches of travel, while the rear is strapped at 30 inches. With KMC forged trophy truck wheels and BFG 40-inch tires, this truck is ready to conquer any challenge thrown its way.
Of course, what's a Hoonigan episode without a thrilling race? Darren and Eric go head-to-head, showcasing the power and agility of their respective trucks. The first round sees Eric taking the win due to a mechanical issue on Darren's truck. However, in the rematch, Darren comes back with a vengeance and secures a well-deserved victory. These two drivers demonstrate the true spirit of off-roading, pushing their machines to the limit and leaving us in awe of their skill and determination.
In the end, this episode of Hoonigan reminds us why off-roading is such an exhilarating and addictive passion. It's not just about the power and performance of the trucks, but also the craftsmanship, innovation, and camaraderie that make this community so special. So buckle up, hold on tight, and get ready to experience the thrill of off-roading like never before with Hoonigan and Four Wheel Parts.
