Season 5

On this episode of Dirt Every Day, Fred challenges his buddy Frank to an off-road race that results in standard Dirt Every Day mayhem. With a little bit of help, Frank gets his Ford F-100 Prerunner in running condition and fitted with hand controls so he can drive it again. For his part of the race, Fred must track down a vehicle to compete with and finds the perfect candidate in Frank’s least favorite vehicle ever, a Volkswagen Vanagon. Chaos ensues when they take both contenders to the secret Dirt Ranch for some pasture battling. Watch now to see who wins!

Fred got his hands on another barn find Jeep, and this time it’s a 1972 Wagoneer that’s been parked for 13 years. Fred invites some friends along for a wild winter road trip starting with a garage tune up of the old Jeep, and ending with winching rescue in a snowy winter land.

When Fred Williams and Dave Chappelle attempt to build one vehicle that can run all types of terrain, the results are ridiculous. Watch as they combine an old Range Rover with a Ford Ranger to build an overlanding prerunner that can also play in the mud and rockcrawl.

On this episode of Dirt Every Day, Fred Williams and Dave Chappelle transform a 1993 Ford F-350 into the monster truck on massive Mickey Thompson 54-inch tires and take it to the toughest rockcrawling trails in America, Johnson Valley, California.

Fred Williams and his friend Brian rescue a ’60s VW-based dune buggy in Oregon and attempt to drive it from Bend to the beach navigating using the Magellan eXplorist TRX7. The old dune buggy only had 38 hp when new, and there is a fair bit of mountains between Bend and the beach, so it will be an uphill battle as Fred and Brian push, pull, and fight their way to a fun, relaxing day at the water’s edge.

Fred’s 1997 jeep Wrangler TJ affectionately known as Tubesock was in need of a new engine, and Fred wanted to recreate a crazy stunt from the 50’s by driving his jeep underwater. To achieve this Fred swaps in a new Cummins ISF2.8 diesel engine, bolts on big Maxxis tires, and sets about waterproofing the whole Jeep to survive under 12 feet of water. Will the little Jeep be a submarine or just an anchor? Watch and find out.

Fred Williams and friends compete in buying, building, and abusing a pair of low-dollar 4x4s in the annual Cheap Truck Challenge on this episode of Dirt Every Day. This year, the trucks have teams of builders but the goal is the same: build something fun for wheeling on a budget. Fred and Dave form team Dirt Heads and find a cheap Jeep Liberty that has seen better days, but can they build it to conquer the off-road obstacles without blowing the bank? The competing Dust Dawgs team of Rob and Joe show up with an ’80s K5 Blazer, and they immediately install bigger tires and more power under the hood. Who will win this year’s battle of budget beaters?

Dirt Heads Fred Williams and Dave are headed to Palm Springs, California, for rest and relaxation after all of their adventures, but to get there in style they’ll need a vehicle that epitomizes success, a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado. Since a Cadillac is great on the road but not the best in the dirt, they’ll first need to modify it, because Dirt Heads don’t do asphalt. After a few days in the shop, they’ll transform the car into a 1,000ci, dual-engine, all-wheel-drive luxury land yacht and hit the dirt roads to the desert vacation spot in the ElDIRTrado.

On this episode of Dirt Every Day, Fred Williams calls in all his friends to help put his 1986 Chevy Army truck back together for a big adventure to a big state. They add a big-block engine, big portal axles, and a big new suspension to clear really big 42-inch Maxxis tires. Then Fred and Mark from Daystar Products head to Alaska where they take their two army trucks on a four-wheeling adventure and see the highlights of Alaska, the biggest state in the nation. Fred puts his freshly revamped truck to the test and renames it the Alaskan Army Truck, while Mark shows off his 720hp Dodge Power Wagon—all while attempting to get their trucks onto a frozen glacier.

How does the Cummins Diesel Jeep Wrangler “Tubesock” compare to a gas-powered Jeep? On this episode of Dirt Every Day Fred Williams and guest host Cummins Steve transform Tubesock from a diesel-powered submarine Jeep to a trail and street Jeep, and then take it head-to-head against gas inline-six and V-8-powered Jeeps on both highway and dirt. How does the little four-cylinder diesel stack up against the tried-and-true gas-powered trail machines? And can Cummins Steve convince Fred and the viewers that they want a Cummins under the hood of their next off-road project truck? Watch now!

When the guys from Surfer magazine want to go surfing, there isn’t much that can dissuade them—and when those waves were in Baja, they joined forces with Fred Williams for a Dirt Every Day Baja adventure. The crew threw their recovery gear, surfboards, and sunglasses in a new Toyota Tacoma and headed south of the border for some Mexican backroad exploring, great surfing, and excellent tacos.

When Fred Williams and Dave get the once-in-a-lifetime chance to go four-wheeling at the site of the 75-year-old Jeep factory in Toledo, Ohio, they bundle up and head east. With just three days to construct a concrete crawler, they decide to build a new JK Wrangler Unlimited to dominate urban obstacles on this episode of Dirt Every Day.
