      To know something inside out is to know something when it has been distorted in the most abstract way possible.
      Cambridge dictionary says
      'know something inside out
      idiom informal
      to know everything about a subject:
      He knows the system inside out.'.

    No time to stay in bed yawning...
    Down the stairs and the tele goes on,
    its time for another great video from Jess and Jon.
    Look over there, its Jess with her awesome guns
    and then there's Jon with his witty puns.
    Today Big Red is getting a spanking new ally top,
    all made with a lovely bit of kit in the workshop!
    A bit of cutting, a weld here and there
    and a swanky storage box appears from nowhere.
    A length of rubber soon forms a seal
    and another storage box is fixed over the rear wheel.
    The fire truck is no more, its now a camper 'to be sure'.
    But there's still a lot of work for our intrepid duo to complete,
    which is fantastic because it means another video is coming next week.

    What a lovely job on the roof guys. That roof rack, strong too, hey Jess! Those VIOFO cams are a good bit of kit for the car. I've had one for about 10 years now. It's happily survived the scorching heat here in Western Australia.

    Another very informative and entertaining video. John your attention to detail is second to none, and it is great that the General is so involved. Oh and it's inside out NOT inside and out. 👍

    Jess that bolt thread tip I have used for years and only 2 weeks ago replacing two part rusty ones on my car. Had two longer ones and I had to add two nuts to one and lock them together and clamp in my moles, no vice now. I used a mini hacksaw and did not sand a bevel as it was going into the engine block. Those Belly Lockers John look professionally constructed and if I had not seen you make them, then I would not have believed it.

    That was brilliant, the amount of things you had to account for doing the bed box but what a fantastic saving!! The belly lockers are brilliant and the water filling point will look the mutz nutz there… cracking bit of fabricating from the workshop!!
    I know this makes me an anorak but I loved the camera work when you drilled the hole 🕳️ near as good as the propshaft shots! 😂

    Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it. Nice editing. I love that you repurpose as much as possible. The old saying "if these walls could talk" has been used in one form or another forever, but I've always been enamored by the permanence of a thing. Like two photos taken at the same tree decades apart. That tree connects two points through time. And how many people also have their pictures by that tree? There's something beautiful about things getting to still be useful in a new form. Things have stories. You're allowing the story of that thing to continue. That's art.

    • @truebluetravellers
      @truebluetravellers  6 місяців тому +1

      What a lovely thing to say thank you, we love reusing things and giving them a new life. I share your passion for old photos and of trees, I always wish they could talk, imagine the stories that could tell!!

    The aluminium storage you built in behind the wheels are great.
    Piece of advice only if you wanted... Cover a rubber pad all over of your aluminum storage to avoid rust from a splash of mud and water of your big tires.
    Take care always and stay safe ❤

    • @truebluetravellers
      @truebluetravellers  6 місяців тому +1

      Thanks very much 😊, as they are aluminium they won’t rust but the raptor might flake off after a while so might have to do something like that 👍👍

    It's like watching The A team, doing a vehicle makeover, only with consideration to design, balance, symmetry, aesthetics and colour coordination. Your skills and craftsmanship are excellent and an absolute pleasure to watch. This vehicle is an absolute beauty! And all this with the slight distraction of Jon's shorts, very much appreciated.
