Nothing special here. Just videos I have made or whatever.
SIV Clinic - Sept 2021
My 2 and 3rd flights at an SIV Clinic with Matt Henzi and Cloudsurf Paragliding. Almost hurled on the second flight, and had an embarrassing water landing(better safe than sorry there). The spirals were one of the most intense experiences that I've ever felt, and the spin turns reminded me of that I had a burrito for breakfast. Whew, that was rough. A fantastic experience, great coaching, beautiful setting, lovely community!

Переглядів 2,4 тис.7 років тому
Success! It works great! Hopefully this was of some help...the project cost me about $50...I only had to buy the chain and links...I bought 2 6ft prices of 3/8inch chain and that was the main cost

Here's the mostly finished product! Hope you guys enjoy, leave me some feedback below. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Dude, this vid is ancient and your build is still better than the one I did just last year. Bravo!
Got one for sale 3/4 ton
Nice and light build! Simple and all you need! Gotta leave you a follow ehh
Left line cray line!
Awesome Dwayne
FLAWLESS VICTORY
you need an air gap for reflectix, otherwise you wont get much R value
Awesome man looks like some amazing flying , nice maneuvers and solid control!
Great view! Turns looked intense. Good job!
I love your shelving unit! Great build!
Nice fairly simple build. I just bought a 1998 Express van (cargo) and am trying to figure out how to frame the walls since none of the upright braces are the same distance from the wall.
Have you tried something like this? ua-cam.com/video/JIiHIEtVnIA/v-deo.html
I followed all your series of videos. Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge, this had been inspirational to me
Have you had any regrets with the low roof van? Is it bearable for extended periods of time?
I haven't at all. I actually love the roof and I am really only in the van for sleeping or relaxing. IMO, it makes it easier to drive around too. It can make it through many drive-thrus even with the rack
@@DwayneParton Thats good to know. I'm having a hard time deciding if I really need to go with a high roof to stand in. Especially if i'm not going to be living in it.
Great idea for the solar panels, I’ve been looking for Rhino Racks, but yours will work too
I love when a dog's asshole has rubbed all over my bedding. It's awesome!!
Hey Dwayne, great set up! I'm looking to make my own aluminum roof rack as well, how has this design held up over the years? Is it pretty sturdy? i.e. can you stand on it without issue? Thanks for sharing your van build
They've been super sturdy... Make sure to use locktight on any nuts just to make sure they dont vibrate look. I haven't had any problems and they've been on my van for a few years now
@@DwayneParton that's awesome, definitely cheaper than buying a roof rack/mounts. Thanks for the advice!
You look like a young Bruce Springsteen.
Well done I like it
Looks great!!!! Happy traveling
Are you still van dwelling?
them crazy C1'rs
Love this.......practical, functional, and comfortable. Good job!
Nice simple build. Great job!
May I ask: Is this the 135" or 155" wheelbase?
It's the 135" wheelbase.
@@DwayneParton Wow. You have a great amount of space between your bed and the front seats. Almost made me think you had the extended version.
This layout is super helping me. Thank you! I can visualize what I need in a simplified way.
Great van build!! Very practical. Just how we designed our van.
I’m researching on how to do this but I want them to be electric.
So how did you bolt the cabinet to the frame? Did you just drill a hole into the frame? or did you utilize the holes already cut into the frame and use a bolt with washers to grab the sides and nuts to secure it? P.s. oh man, if you could send me the rough dimensions of the cabinet, I would be eternally grateful but if its gonna be a headache dont worry about it.
I drilled into the frame and added 2 bolts in the top boxes of the cabinet. I'll see about getting you those demensions as soon as I get home
52.5 inches wide with 11.5 inch folding table ext 17 inches deep at base 14.5 inches deep at table 10 inches deep at top 48inches tall 30.5 inches tall on table side Let me know if that makes sense
@@DwayneParton makes perfect sense, thanks a ton!
@@DwayneParton safe travels
Converting a chevy express right now, thanks for the ideas.
I just got my Express on Tuesday. The fun begins
Any tips on the electrical channels you covered with grey material? That seems to be my biggest issue right now.
It's really nice if you can keep the electrical kinda accessible. I ran into a short and was glad the panels were pretty easy to take off.
@@DwayneParton first wall is up. Wasn't too hard. After I found the rest of your videos it really helped my decide how to cover those channels and use back lit LED inside. Thanks for the work in all the videos. It was really helpful.
That's awesome! Good luck with the build would live to see if when you're finished
This setup is like my dorm. Thanks for sharing.
"in 2019, this list helped me decide for the best slackline kit *scafe.shop/tbsk2019?yA* hope it helps you out too!"
I’m working on mine .
What a great built! Please watch and support my Chevy express built ua-cam.com/video/3ADBOGJu_v0/v-deo.html
thank you for the tip on the coolant. i probably would have done the same thing. i am looking for a chevy express van for myself... probably look early next year and do not want to make problems for myself. you probably saved me alot of money with this video.
how tall are you with the bed place this way in the vehicle?
I'm 6'4...I actually use the bed length wise. It works way better for me!
u look hots
Hey bud i love the videos. How are you cutting everything?
Hi Dwayne, I am considering building something very similar, and stumbled across your video. So, yay, it seems doable! I wondered: did it work out for you in the long term? Also, what was wrong with the first pair of sawhorses? I saw people are using all kinds of things for support there, even somebody made a festival with sheets of plywood for the support, so I didn't expect difficulties there.
It worked out really well! But I found some long twist in ground stakes at Lowe's and that was even better. We rigged an 80' line on them pretty easy with 6"x6" posts for the frame. They were pretty cheap and way burlier!
Nice van. And you still have a crap ton of room in there. Awesome.
You could make the passenger seat a swivel seat. And then put a table up there. It would really open up the van.
Have express 3500 cutaway with 11' utility box's and walk in interior. All steel. 11' x 4' x 6' high. With shelves inside boxes outside. I cur out interior shelves in front for 7' bed shelf. That stows for day use. Box above tires on slide for stove inside or outside. Same with refer. Awning exterior. Outside gen set and toilet inside or use tent for portable toilet shower. Going to buy litigate for back porch. On your van would make slide out walls roof for bed for boon docking three seasons.
Great Setup On Your Van, Thank You
Toilet???
Clever solution 4 the dtawers 😀
Nice open set up.
Looks great!
Sweet
Hi there! Is your cargo van extended or regular cab? Thanks!
Nice and simple.....like it
