Ep 4. Caterpillar Bike 2

Following the success of their first Caterpillar bike, the team at Orange County Choppers is tasked with creating a second one for the construction equipment company. The pressure is on, as they must make sure that the new bike is even more impressive than the last.

Paul Teutul Sr. and his team start by brainstorming ideas for the design of the bike. They want to incorporate as much of Caterpillar's yellow color into the design as possible, and also want to focus on the company's latest equipment models. Junior suggests using a caterpillar track, similar to those found on the bulldozers and excavators, as a central feature of the bike, and everyone agrees that it's a great idea.

With the design in place, the team starts working on fabricating the various parts of the bike. The tracks, in particular, prove to be a challenge. They need to be both sturdy and functional, but also visually appealing. Senior steps in to help out, using his welding and metalworking skills to create the perfect tracks.

As work continues on the bike, the team receives some exciting news - the guys from Caterpillar are coming to Orange County Choppers to check out the progress on the bike. Everyone is excited to show off what they've been working on, and they spend the day giving the Caterpillar reps a tour of the shop and showing them around the different bikes they've created over the years. The reps are impressed with the work they see, and give the team a vote of confidence as they continue working on the Caterpillar bike.

Of course, not everything goes smoothly during the build process. There are tight deadlines to meet, parts that don't fit as planned, and unexpected challenges that pop up along the way. Senior and Junior have their fair share of disagreements about the bike, but they ultimately find a way to work together to create a finished product that they're both proud of.

Finally, the day of the big reveal arrives. The team puts the finishing touches on the bike and unveils it to the reps from Caterpillar. The bike is everything they hoped it would be and more - it's bold, unique, and captures the essence of the iconic construction equipment company. Everyone is thrilled with the final result, and the team celebrates another successful build.
