Don't you dare drag McGyver into this...
And, do you have to hit the baby seals with intent to kill, or just hard enough to make them cry?

What ever anyone wants to say about this group of guys is there business but today they showed up at area bfe for the crawl readers ride, threw out at least 30 hoodies, tee shirts tons of swag and just hung out, at least three of the guys complemented my rig and shook my hand, every one I seen was down to earth and cool, if I had the chance to do what they have done I would be loving my job...
Just saw a guy griping on the Diesel Brothers instagram page about them taking credit for some of "their" builds. Looks like they farm out some of their work. This guy has some pics of the builds in his shop so it looks credible https://www.instagram.com/gilleyfab/ Maybe you guys know him

I dont think its any secret that gilley fab did a lot of the work on the yellow truggy. They posted it on their instagram when it was loaded up and heading to his place
They also got the high steer arms and link mounts from my buddy skipped_link. Along with the rear steer parts

I didn't follow the build at all and I knew Gilley Fab was involved heavily in the Bro Dozer.... and I have no idea who they are. I think someone is trying to make something out of nothing.
Just another guy jealous of all the success and attention they're getting.

I drove past their shop on redwood last week and stopped to check out the brodozer and the megaramrunner that were sitting outside. I thought the same thing... lot's of booger welds and things that looked slapped together or an afterthought.
Cool trucks, regardless.

Ridiculous. While I'm not a supporter of "rolling coal" I don't think this warrants a lawsuit from some hippie Dr. If that Dr wants to talk about excess emissions lets discuss his mansion in Holladay! I need to find out what cars he drives cause I'm sure he has a Prius or a Tesla and we all know how good those are for the environment...

I'm actually a bit surprised it took this long. With all the attention they've given themselves and obvious footage of non-safety compliant trucks driving on Utah Highways, I figured it was only a matter of time before the hammer started to drop.

Totally agree Shane. My semi is a 2 stroke diesel and smokes pretty bad. Its embarrasing and thats why they stopped making them. Nature of that beast
Is this the same douche hole that sued Edge?

It's one thing for the truck to smoke a bit, especially older rigs. It's another to blatantly tune it to do it. It's easy to spot the difference.

It's been a few years since we've discussed this show, but in case you missed it....
Diesel Brothers Ordered To Pay $850,000 Fine For Rolling Lots Of Coal
jalopnik.com
"The Diesel Brothers—a collective nickname for Discovery Channel’s truck-obsessed super polluter television show, David “Heavy D” Sparks, Joshua Stuart, Keaton Hoskins, and David “Diesel Dave” Kiley—have been ordered by a Utah judge to pay over $850,000 in fines for violation of the Clean Air Act. In the process of building trucks for customers at various businesses owned by the men, it was uncovered that they were removing pollution control devices and installing devices to bypass emission controls.
Documents from the court show that none of the levied fines can be avoided or discharged by way of bankruptcy. The judge also ruled that the plaintiffs may submit their attorney fees, allegedly $1.2 million, to be paid by the defendant.
The lawsuit was filed by Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment in 2017. This group went to great lengths to prove that the so-called Diesel Brothers were building trucks which intentionally polluted far more than legally allowed. The plaintiffs actually purchased a vehicle from David Sparks, modified by his company, and sent it off for EPA testing. The results showed the truck to emit 36 times more greenhouse gasses, and 21 times more particulate than it would if it were fitted with its proper emissions equipment.
Selling acid was a bad idea. Selling it to a cop was a worse one.
It’s interesting that the Discovery Channel, a network which once focused on science, technology, and history has devolved in a way to air shitty reality television and science ignorant programming like this. Shame, that."
In the end, the Diesel Bro's may be on the hook for over $2 million once they pay the fines AND the winning attorneys fees. IMO, I love building and modifying 4x4's and I love diesels, but building & modifying them to 'roll coal' is lame.

We’ve all seen them on the road, the trucks with a “This Truck Identifies As A Prius” decal on the tailgate and a thin blue line decal in the back window belching thick and obnoxiously loud black smoke with every shift. These disgustingly selfish truck dorks take pride in making other people uncomfortable and hurting the environment.
The defendants are banned from ever removing emissions equipment, or selling vehicles modified in this manner again. While it was already illegal, if they do commit such an illegal act again, they could be found in contempt of court, which could mean some actual jail time.
