Dirt Every Day

Finally, a show for all you dirt heads out there! Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road Technical Editor Fred Williams introduces the new Dirt Every Day show with a brief overview of what it's all about and where it's headed. Check back in every other Thursday as Fred continues his crusade against asphalt.

On this episode of Dirt Every Day, Fred heads deep into the woods of Pennsylvania and the Line Mountain 4-wheelers off road race course where off-roaders have been racing for 40-years. Fred's reason for venturing into the sticks is to check out a Ford Model-A off road racer and compare it to a modern day off-road race buggy.

On this episode of Dirt Every Day, follow Fred Williams as he rescues an old ranch Jeep in Texas and gets it ready for some adventures. The first job is a complete rewire with help from the good people and parts at Painless Performance. Then stay tuned for a future episode when he takes it out exploring Texas and New Mexico.

On this episode of Dirt Every Day, presented by 4 Wheel Parts, it’s the return of the Alabama Army Truck. The 1986 Chevy K30 military truck (also known as a CUCV) is back from the dead! This high horsepower truck is looking for upgrades starting with bigger tires, and from there it’s a stronger transmission and lower transfer case gears. Of course all these changes mean more speed is available so better brakes will also be included. But can Fred and the crew get the AAT back in better-than-original shape by the end of the week so they can hit the trail? Watch it now to find out.

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 Williams and Dave Chappelle drag a tired, old ’03 Chevy Avalanche out of the cobwebs and spruce it up for a north Idaho snow race—because nothing is faster in the snow than an Avalanche! The big truck has an 8.1L big-block and solid 1-ton axles front and rear, but the tires are only 37 inches tall. Will it be enough to win the race, or will the big truck get snowbank stuck? Watch this episode of Dirt Every Day to find out.

When Dave Chappelle brings home a crusty old Bronco, it's time for a backyard-to-trail adventure. Fred Williams and Dave decide they'll get this early Bronco up and running after sitting for years and go attempt the toughest trail near town. But the Bronco isn't going to move without a fight. Can the Dirt-Heads prevail? Watch this episode of Dirt Every Day, presented by Tire Rack, and find out.

The Dirt Heads decide to turn a little Suzuki Samurai into a pickup truck. After their adventure in Indonesia the year before, they decided to duplicate the tiny truck build in the US. Can Fred Williams and Dave Chappelle chop and weld the Sammy into a longer, stronger off-roader?

Dave Chappelle has been working on a 1991 Ford F350 he calls Mom's Spaghetti, and he's running out of time to finish it before Ultimate Adventure, so Fred Williams has arrived to lend a hand. This truck is simple and cool-V-8 engine, manual transmission, doubler transfer case, and one-ton axles-but Dave has added his own flare with a custom air bag suspension and modified body to clear 40-inch tires while still sitting low and stable. With the clock ticking, the Dirty Heads double down to get the Mom's Spaghetti ready. Check it out this time on Dirt Every Day.
