Finally, Someone Found A Practical Use For Pickup Trucks
Finally, Someone Found A Practical Use For Pickup Trucks-July 2024

A photo of two Ram trucks with the caption "what are they even for?"

America loves its pickup trucks. They account for an estimated across the country, and almost were sold in America last year alone. I’m sure many of these trucks are being put to use carrying things like lumber, camping kit, or , and definitely not roaming the streets with empty beds. Right?

Well whether your bed is empty or packed with hedge trimmings, I’m here to tell you that you’re using your pickup truck wrong. Instead of , you should instead turn it into the kind of kitchen appliance that we all need: an ice cream maker.

The idea was brought to , where one savvy young content creator set to work with a pickup truck, ratchet straps, a cooler, and an empty paint can.

Blake Kinsman starts by strapping the cooler to one of their truck’s massive wheels. They then take a gleaming new paint can and throw in egg yolks, sugar, milk, cream, and smashed-up cookies. For anyone not in the know, for a pretty simple (but delicious) ice cream.

The paint can gets sealed, then thrown into the cooler with a bunch of ice, and a good scoop of salt. With all that strapped to a wheel, the truck sets off on a journey around town.

Now, while the truck is driving around, something interesting happens inside the cooler. When you mix salt and ice in this way, you create a combination that can than ice alone, meaning it can quickly cool the contents of the metal paint can. So, the mixture freezes while the motion of the tank churns it up and keeps it moving – much like the process carried out by a traditional ice cream maker.

This means that once the truck comes to a stop and the contraption is popped open, there’s a puddle of cold water in the cooler and the paint tin is full of a slightly frozen ice cream. It’s genius, and works in the same way as I had back in the day, but with much less effort on your part.

So, if you’re the kind of person driving around town in a truck with massive wheels, give this simple recipe a follow and let us know the result. It’ll give a whole new meaning to the term “.”

The seems to strike a personal chord with pretty much everybody in America; I remember being crammed into the jump seats of my dad’s as a kid. When the “return” of the truck in the form of the was announced, people reacted like it was going to be personally delivered...

Here's Why a Mitsubishi Montero is the Best Buy in Classic SUVs Right Now
As classic Ford Broncos become as precious as Porsches and 200,000-mile Toyota Land Cruisers manage to maintain ridiculous prices, it’s getting harder to find a cool and capable SUV for reasonable money. If you’re lamenting this too, then it’s time to learn about the Mitsubishi Montero. The Montero has legitimate...

I Love Everything About This VW Bug Built for Overland Adventures
“This thing probably weighs about 3,000 pounds” says overland VW Bug builder Jamie Wiseman. That’s over 1,000 pounds porkier than a standard 1967 Beetle, and it looks like every ounce has gone to making this one extra excellent. Wiseman tells Blue Ridge Overland Gear that he owns TVR Automotive in...

The New Land Rover Defender Looks Just Like a Mercedes G-Wagen From Here
For years we’ve been eagerly waiting to see what the next will look like. The last “new Defender” concept came out in 2011, and since then, the only Defenders we’ve seen have been prototype mules running around with scrunched Range Rover bodies. Until, I think, today. Early Tuesday, Land Rover...

Just Remember That Chevy Once Sold a Truck Called the LUV
Just Remember That Chevy Once Sold a Truck Called the LUV
I always liked the Chevy LUV pickup truck. It was a re-badged Isuzu Faster, and, especially in its earlier generations, was a great-looking, capable little workhorse of a truck. Chevrolet, in a fit of affable goofiness, named the truck “Light Utility Vehicle,” which was usually rendered as the acronym “LUV.”...
