Ep 5. Frankendozer

Frankendozer is Episode 5 of the first season of the reality television series, Big Fix Alaska. The main focus of the show is on a family-owned business in Alaska that specializes in heavy-duty machinery repair. The business, Jim and Austin's, is run by Jim and his son Austin, and they take on all kinds of jobs, from fixing snowplows to rebuilding bulldozers.

In this episode, the team at Jim and Austin's is faced with a particularly challenging task. They are tasked with fixing a bulldozer that has been pieced together from a number of different machines. The result is a monstrous vehicle that has been dubbed the "Frankendozer."

The Frankendozer was put together by a man named Stan, who is notorious in the area for his bizarre and often dangerous creations. Stan seems to have a knack for putting together pieces of old machinery in such a way that they work together, though often not for long. The Frankendozer is no exception, as it's been breaking down almost constantly since it was first put together.

Despite the challenges, Jim and Austin are up for the task. They begin by taking the Frankendozer apart to see what they're dealing with. As they inspect the various components, they realize that they're going to have to do a lot of work to get the bulldozer up and running properly.

One of the biggest challenges is the engine. It's been pieced together from several different engines, and there are a lot of parts missing or not working properly. Jim and Austin have to track down the missing parts from all over the state, scavenging for what they need.

Once they have the parts they need, the team gets to work putting the Frankendozer back together. This is when things start to get really difficult. The bulldozer is so big, it's hard to maneuver around the shop. The team has to get creative and use all their resources to get the job done.

Throughout the episode, tensions run high as the team faces setback after setback. As they work long into the night, it's clear that everyone is exhausted and frustrated. But they keep pushing on, fueled by their determination to get the Frankendozer up and running.

In the end, the hard work pays off. The Frankendozer is finally fixed and ready to roll. To test it out, Jim and Austin take it out to a remote area to do some logging. The bulldozer performs beautifully, and everyone is thrilled with the results.

Overall, Frankendozer is an exciting and challenging episode of Big Fix Alaska. It showcases the skills and expertise of the Jim and Austin's team as they take on one of their toughest jobs yet. With lots of tension, hard work, and a satisfying payoff, this episode is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
