David Freiburger Loot

[TJustin]

Had a pretty cool experience over the New Year's break. I follow David Freiburger on IG, and for Christmas time he was traveling over UT, and WY. On his way back to SoCal he drove through Nephi and left some of his #DFloot. I fortunately saw his post and headed to Nephi with my boy. I made it in time and snagged the hoodie that Freiburger left. We were pretty happy to get it.

Anyone else here Roadkill fans?

After all the years, I still think my favorite episodes are either when they wheelie Stubby Bob, or when they boosted a Manza with a 454 strapped to a trailer with a blower on it.

Some years ago, @Magerdgr and I did a project with freiburger and Rick Pewe. This was pre-Roadkill. Both of those guys are no different in person than they are on TV. It was a blast and I enjoyed meeting them.

Big RK fan here. I dragged my Grand Prix down to Tuscon and attended the 2018 Zip Tie drag event. Even though the event was rained out, we had a great time. I had a hilarious drag strip experience there, which I wrote out in another forum. Maybe I should post it here, too.

How awesome that someone on here found a DF Loot stash, congrats @TJustin

I've been a Freiburger fan since.... oh, '92? (dating myself). Around that time I was working at a Speed Shop, had a '71 SS Camaro and a subscription to Hot Rod magazine, which he was one of the main editors. I loved their Crusher Camaro, remember reading that story when it first came out.

I really enjoy what DF does, the guy is just like any other car guy... love the Motor Trend On Demand shows, Roadkill and Engine Masters being my favorites.

Was that the Utah Flatty they picked up from Wade? I'm jealous that you guys got to hang out with BOTH DF and Pewe!

Yup, that was the one! Ended up selling them 3 more over the years. One of them David just sold, the Blue MB, I got from @Skylinerider i think? Great guys, still talk to Rick regularly and David a little.

Big fan of the Road Kill universe. Even junk yard gold although the guys speach pattern is a bit weird. DF seems like a good chill guy. We need more shows with decent dudes having fun and no fake drama.

I tried to get into other shows on the MT app like street outlaws but was deterred because of the seemingly fake drama.

I do love me some Engine Masters, RK Garage, Faster with Finnegan.

Ian Johnson now has his own builder show on the MT app too.

For whatever reason I can’t really get into Dirt Every Day even though it’s the show I can probably most relate to.

Agreed I like the concept of DED and do watch all the shows but Road Kill is just more watchable. The host are more entertaining.
I binged watched 7 Fourwheeler shows today. Good stuff

Freiburger passed me just as I was leaving work on xmas eve in Grantsville. I pulled out of the driveway into the right lane and see a white lifted TJ coming up in the left lane. As he passes, I see the California plates and the rear Prorock 60 and realize who it was. No I didn't Jeep wave. Jeep waves are stupid.
