    The Blood Sacrifice: Defining a "True" Vehicle Build

    In this episode, The boys dive deep into the age-old debate: Built vs. Bought. From Alex’s "porpoising" 11-inch dropped VW bus to his take on why a "blood sacrifice" (and a few busted knuckles) is required for a project to truly be called a build, they break down why starting in stages is the best way to learn. Plus, we get a shop update on Josh’s roof-screwing marathon and a potential "vacation Jeep" find in Arizona. To wrap it all up, they kick off a new Fantasy Build segment: The 5-Year Shop Truck Challenge. Josh dreams up a crawling machine out of an '81 Bronco while Alex tries to figure out how to make a roached '64 International Scout roadworthy on a shoestring budget.

    Hollywood Lies! The Truth About Iconic Movie Cars 🎬🏎️

    What up, guys! Welcome back to the Days of Pain and Victory podcast. In Episode 26, Josh and Alex are diving deep into something that’s close to every car guy’s heart: Movie Cars. We’re breaking down the difference between "car movies" and "iconic movie cars," sharing our personal Top 5 lists, and—more importantly—laughing at all the mechanical "logic" Hollywood gets wrong. From the 47-speed transmissions in Fast and the Furious to the indestructible suspension on the General Lee, we’re calling out the myths while celebrating the rigs that inspired us to pick up a wrench in the first place.

    2025 Rewind: Rubicon Wins, Transmission Fails, and Dirthead Dave

    In this episode of the DPV Podcast, Josh and Alex return to where the journey started—Alex's dad’s shop—to recap an incredible 2025 and look ahead to their 2026 builds. It was a year defined by the "Pain and Victory" cycle, featuring everything from an 1,800-mile trek from Arizona in a Suburban with no 3rd gear to the heartbreak of a snapped memory card losing a prime video project. The guys celebrate major 2025 victories, including finishing the Jeep’s roll cage, conquering the Rubicon Trail, and the pure joy of wheeling with Dirthead Dave. Looking forward to 2026, the calendar is wide open but the goals are big: getting "Bob" to the OG Gambler, completing a third motor swap on "Grandpa’s Truck," and finally getting the "White Suburban" road-ready for daily driving. Whether you’re a seasoned builder or still on the sidelines, the guys are here to push you into the garage with their new "Stop Watching, Start Wrenching" starter kit—a free guide and budget tracker to help you get your project trail-ready for the 2026 cruise season.

    Motor Home Big Block! Is it worth it?

    In our endless search for cheap parts, we're tackling the classic "motorhome big block" idea. Is this a genius-level budget hack for cheap power, or a truly terrible idea that ends in frustration, rusted bolts, and us questioning our life choices? Join Alex and Josh as we debate if this path leads to Victory... or just a whole lot of Pain.
