Death Toll Racing

We tackle the serpentine kit from CVF on the Safari Wagon this episode. We also convert to the 11 bolt water pump (68 up), and replace the balancer on the old 400. Plans for this motor to be rebuilt are in the works, however a new block may be required after noticing a tag on the side of the motor stating that the block is currently .040 over and in unknown condition after being used at that .040 over for some time. This install should be the same on any Pontiac V8 (an 11 bolt water pump is a must for this kit though). GTO LeMans Catalina Tempest Firebird Bonneville with the modern water pump it should fit all of them. #4x4 #4x4life #custom4x4 #4x4cars #4x4stationwagon #catalina #stationwagon #musclecar #mudtruck #rockcrawler #4link #heim #weldporn #welding #tig #mig #Chevy #chevrolet #c10 #k30 #k5 #blazer #14bolt #coilovers #desertracer #offroad #deserttruck #bugout #Ballistic #BallisticFab #Hack #Hacks #4x4conversion #dana44 #powerlock #methodracing #MethodWheels #beadlocks #BeadLock #overland #build #offroad #sbc #bbc #sbf #bbf #pontiac #fabrication #fab #longarms #kingsuspension #kingcoilovers #bugoutvehicles #4x4fabrication #hydroboost #PSC #xj #jeep #jk

Help support this channel by visiting our Amazon storefront!!! https://www.amazon.com/shop/deathtollracing This episode is a carry over from https://youtu.be/qqxyiyMIhKo going over how I overcame the emergency brake dilemma. We got it all done, and it hopefully will give some confidence to anyone doing the conversion to disc brakes. We go over how I sourced my brake cables, and hopefully that will help others be able to find ones that will work on their project. #4x4 #4x4life #custom4x4 #4x4cars #4x4stationwagon #catalina #stationwagon #musclecar #mudtruck #rockcrawler #4link #heim #weldporn #welding #tig #mig #Chevy #chevrolet #c10 #k30 #k5 #blazer #14bolt #coilovers #desertracer #offroad #deserttruck #bugout #Ballistic #BallisticFab #Hack #Hacks #4x4conversion #dana44 #powerlock #methodracing #MethodWheels #beadlocks #BeadLock #overland #build #offroad #sbc #bbc #sbf #bbf #pontiac #fabrication #fab #longarms #kingsuspension #kingcoilovers #bugoutvehicles #4x4fabrication #hydroboost #PSC #xj #jeep #jk

We get the King Bump Stops installed in the front of the Catalina Safari Wagon! It turned out great! Way easier than the rear, and looks fantastic. #4x4 #4x4life #custom4x4 #4x4cars #4x4stationwagon #catalina #stationwagon #musclecar #mudtruck #rockcrawler #4link #heim #weldporn #welding #tig #mig #Chevy #chevrolet #c10 #k30 #k5 #blazer #14bolt #coilovers #desertracer #offroad #deserttruck #bugout #Ballistic #BallisticFab #Hack #Hacks #4x4conversion #dana44 #powerlock #methodracing #MethodWheels #beadlocks #BeadLock #overland #build #offroad #sbc #bbc #sbf #bbf #pontiac #fabrication #fab #longarms #kingsuspension #kingcoilovers #bugoutvehicles #4x4fabrication #hydroboost #PSC #xj #jeep #jk

We get the King 2.0 x 4 (BS-20432) bump stops installed in the rear of Project 4x4 Pontiac Catalina Safari Wagon this week. The end result is great, but man did I have an awakening when my chintzy chains I had holding the rear end up under the car broke. Luckily the only thing that got damaged was yours truly. These were the recommended bump stops with our King 2.5 x 12 Coil Overs that are currently on order through Filthymotorsports.com. I walked through the build with Ben and he put together a list of the components that would work best in the Safari Wagon for what we are building this rig for. (the Safari, duh...) I was confused as to why they were called 2.0 x 4 when they only have 3 inches of travel while shooting this video. They are limited to 3" because that is what would work best with our 12" coil overs with the ride of 50%. It all makes sense now. They are offered in 2" (BS-2042), 3" (BS-2043), and 4" BS-2040). The 2.0 x 2 is offered in only 2" travel but has 2 variations, one being compact for Jeep JK, but of course could be used in custom chassis as well.

Today in the Death Toll Racing Garage we fabricate a front cross member that houses a spherical bearing for a steering box support / brace. The cross member is removable and adjustable. The bearing is grease-able and replaceable.

Today in the Death Toll Racing garage we start the conversion on our Pontiac 4x4 to hydroboost. What it takes to do this is the same on many domestic vehicles. This will apply to almost all Jeeps, GM, Fords, and Dodges. This is the best upgrade you can do to your brakes with junk yard parts hands down. This is great for any vehicle no matter what the purpose of the build is. 4x4, street rod, autocross, road race, you name it, this is probably a great upgrade, and it's very easy. #4x4 #4x4life #custom4x4 #4x4cars #4x4stationwagon #catalina #stationwagon #musclecar #mudtruck #rockcrawler #4link #heim #weldporn #welding #tig #mig #Chevy #chevrolet #c10 #k30 #k5 #blazer #14bolt #coilovers #desertracer #offroad #deserttruck #bugout #Ballistic #BallisticFab #Hack #Hacks #4x4conversion #dana44 #powerlock #methodracing #MethodWheels #beadlocks #BeadLock #overland #build #offroad #sbc #bbc #sbf #bbf #pontiac #fabrication #fab #longarms #kingsuspension #kingcoilovers #bugoutvehicles #4x4fabrication #hydroboost

This week in the Death Toll Racing garage we install a PSC steering cylinder, Upgraded power steering box, rough country WJ (1999-2004 grand Cherokee) steering arm for the long sweep of a full size Dana 44 axle, power steering pump upgrade for Hydroboost, and more! Cross over information for XJ's / ZJ's with full size axles. All of this is going on our 1965 Pontiac Catalina Safari Wagon that is being converted to a solid axle 4x4, long armed, King Coil over off road beast capable of anything a "safari" can throw at it. #4x4 #4x4life #custom4x4 #4x4cars #4x4stationwagon #catalina #stationwagon #musclecar #mudtruck #rockcrawler #4link #heim #weldporn #welding #tig #mig #Chevy #chevrolet #c10 #k30 #k5 #blazer #14bolt #coilovers #desertracer #offroad #deserttruck #bugout #Ballistic #BallisticFab #Hack #Hacks #4x4conversion #dana44 #powerlock #methodracing #MethodWheels #beadlocks #BeadLock #overland #build #offroad #sbc #bbc #sbf #bbf #pontiac #fabrication #fab #longarms #kingsuspension #kingcoilovers #bugoutvehicles #4x4fabrication #hydroboost #PSC

This video is the first in a minor change of format. Weekly videos going forward will be shorter, with increased frequency. I am going to try keeping them to 1 project per video, and have at least 2 video's per week. In this episode on the 1965 Pontiac Catalina Safari Wagon we.... -Trim the front bumper to make room for the 35/12.5LT17 tires. -Weld in panels to finish the bumpers look -finish grind and polish the welds so the bumper looks as close to factory as possible. #4x4 #4x4life #custom4x4 #4x4cars #4x4stationwagon #catalina #stationwagon #musclecar #mudtruck #rockcrawler #4link #heim #weldporn #welding #tig #mig #Chevy #chevrolet #c10 #k30 #k5 #blazer #14bolt #coilovers #desertracer #offroad #deserttruck #bugout #Ballistic #BallisticFab #Hack #Hacks #4x4conversion #dana44 #powerlock #methodracing #MethodWheels #beadlocks #BeadLock #overland #build #offroad #sbc #bbc #sbf #bbf #pontiac #fabrication #fab #longarms #kingsuspension #kingcoilovers #bugoutvehicles #4x4fabrication #hydroboost #PSC

This week we get the 4 link installed on Project Safari 4x4!!! A big step forward in progress. We fabricate the arms with Currie Johnny Joints and Ballistic Fab's 3.0 in Ultra Duty BALLISTIC Joint's, brought together by 2" 1/4 wall 1026 DOM tubing. With a few minor (but huge PITA) hangups, we get it done and installed. We test the flex of the joints and everything flexes well beyond requirements for this build. #4x4 #4x4life #custom4x4 #4x4cars #4x4stationwagon #catalina #stationwagon #musclecar #mudtruck #rockcrawler #4link #heim #weldporn #welding #tig #mig #Chevy #chevrolet #c10 #k30 #k5 #blazer #14bolt #coilovers #desertracer #offroad #deserttruck #bugout #Ballistic #BallisticFab #Hack #Hacks #4x4conversion #dana44 #powerlock #methodracing #MethodWheels #beadlocks #BeadLock #overland #build #offroad #sbc #bbc #sbf #bbf #pontiac #fabrication #fab #longarms #kingsuspension #kingcoilovers #bugoutvehicles #4x4fabrication #hydroboost #PSC #xj #jeep

She's upset about it. I apologize. The word I used is symmetricity, and I thought that was a short way of saying "keeping everything symmetric". Apparently I am very wrong. So... Aquila's Request should read "put a matching plate on the other side so that is it symmetric" (this is in reference to the skid plate under the transfer case). I think it's fine without, it's just how they are.

On this episode, Gavin shaves his rear end! The rear end we are talking about is the one going into project Pontiac Safari 4x4, a 14 Bolt Full Floater. We will be using a kit we purchased from Ballistic Fabrication. This will be done all in house using custom made tooling that any fabricator, from novice to expert can make. This episode is a test of a theory that Gavin has wanted to try for a while now. Is it possible to shave a 14 bolt without taking it out of the rig in a 2 day weekend, without sending any parts out to a machine shop? We are inclined to say yes! Check it out! #4x4 #4x4life #custom4x4 #4x4cars #4x4stationwagon #catalina #stationwagon #musclecar #mudtruck #rockcrawler #4link #heim #weldporn #welding #tig #mig #Chevy #chevrolet #c10 #k30 #k5 #blazer #14bolt #coilovers #desertracer #offroad #deserttruck #bugout #Ballistic #BallisticFab #Hack #Hacks #4x4conversion #dana44 #powerlock #methodracing #MethodWheels #beadlocks #BeadLock #overland #build #offroad #sbc #bbc #sbf #bbf #pontiac #fabrication #fab #longarms #kingsuspension #kingcoilovers #bugoutvehicles #4x4fabrication #hydroboost #PSC #xj #jeep

An old work truck that needs a small amount of work to get going again. I upgrade the carb to a sealed style unit, fix a couple small issues and it's back up and running in no time.

This is our very first video, and when we kicked off our Safari Wagon 4x4 build. The project takes many turns on the the way to completion. Stay tuned!
