100% Mix and Match between Tourin' and Hard wheelin'. It's very nice to see some hard tracks and some nice "moderate" tracks for us who don't want to do the hard stuff.
Yeah for sure dude, that’s what I was thinking like there’s a lot of cool stuff we go do and see in Tassie and would be cool to share also, it’s just we move pretty quick in the bush so it’s hard to make a coherent video haha, bits here, bits there 👍🏻
Post whatever makes you happy mate. Majority of us probably started following you for the hard wheeling but whatever you put out is an awesome watch my man. Good to see how far you've come. Keep it up we all appreciate it 🤙
Absolutely would love to see touring and camping trips. Its all four wheeling, just different flavours. At the end of the day though, its your channel, post what _you_ enjoy doing!
Hell yeah Timmy!!!! deadset just woke up and all! Can't wait to see how the GU turns out! Thanks for the great content as always Timmy and hope ya have a good one 🫡
I would be interested in living vicariously through you/with you in most any adventure or build. Doesn’t always have to be gnarly, sometimes….good times are good for many other reasons, if it is always spectacular….you will continually have to top yourself. Keep it broad and varied, so you can do all the thing that interest you, not just one small niche.
Dude that’s such good advice, I don’t know what it is about UA-cam that brings in the competitive part of people’s brains, I don’t even make my income from this it’s just a hobby and like even I have that need to continually top my views and interest etc. it’s pretty toxic really it.. like I dunno how to relax with it and just upload just cause haha
@@timmyhasheart Yeah, that part can eat content creators alive. People come for something that you have done that interests them; a shared interest. They stay because of you. Focus on your interests and the genuine viewers will keep coming back. I like the detailed tech/fab kind of things but since I almost never get to go on adventures (I am farmer so I can’t leave very often) I like to live through others when I can’t do it myself. Honestly, there is videos of every flavor and knowledge at this point, I stick around because you seem like a cool guy that has a lot of similar interests as me. So even if it isn’t 100% my thing I will still watch because it’s like hanging out with someone or doing it myself. It’s why Top Gear worked. You do you. The UA-cam rat race is kind of like competing over who can be more “religious” than the other. Their path is their path, it’s apples to oranges. You do you. That’s what will keep everyone coming back. If you try to be like everyone else, you will be, and that will make your stuff so similar it won’t matter whose content they watch. Just do your thing, glad to be able to tag along. Thanks for taking the time and effort to share! I have been slowly trying to do my own stuff and have succeeded in having a ton of unfinished content. So I can sort of relate and understand the effort you are putting in. Thank you for your hard work!
Hey mate. Quick bend tech tip. It’s an amazing program. And doesn’t look like you’re using it to its potential. So two things. Use a plum bob and a straight crack in the concrete. If you can’t use a crack. Use your laser line to make a line on the ground. Use these as datum lines to measure to for your bends and start and end points. Drop your plum bob to the ground this will become your anchored point in bend tech. Then measure front/back, left/right then up from the laser line. That becomes your pick point. Personally you only need the points for the middle section on your tail. And the start points for the outside pieces. The rest you can figure out in bend tech. Use it for your cutting templates as well. You won’t need all that green. And work your way out like you said. It’ll be bang on Secondly. Record your spring back. If you’re a degree out. Put that in your spring back library. And it’ll calibrate bend tech to give more accurate data to calculate your bends. Hope this helps. Any more questions. Let me know. I got you on Snapchat. I’ll make a video explaining it.
Yeah I only just started using it and I’m definitely not using it to its potential, I do my drawing in another program and then just import to bend tech (originally I only meant to draw it in order to see with my eyes what I saw with my brain and to understand where and how everything might land) and then I realised I could export as IGS and import that drawing into bend tech and have it spit out what to do to make these parts.. but yeah I’d love a bit of help in a video if you can be bothered at some stage 🤙🏻
Another greqt ep mate. As for the touring video idea. If you have time you could perhaps do a midweek release (bonus) ep say. Either way I'll be watching whatever you put out. Cheers and keep up the awesome work!
I absolutely could dude, but I might wait a bit longer so I can use them a bunch, but dead set so far they’re all awesome, I gave the drill a hard time in this project so far, holesaws are hard on drills, especially 18v ones and the thing sailed through several 5” holes and several notches which is sending a 40mm holesaw straight through the side of 3mm pipe, the battery grinder is also a monster, I personally think it goes harder than my Milwaukee and I even think it goes harder than my kincrome 240v one. But yeah once I’ve had a chance to abuse them some more I’ll have a chat about them 👊🏻👊🏻
I mean at the end of the day, you gotta do you man, You are obviously the chief of hard 4wding, that's your bread and butter. But I'd for sure watch some toorin mate.
Hey mate, yes missed your Vlog last week but wow do you put out quality stuff. Like always it’s an absolute pleasure watching your channel. The effort and quality is superior. Me like many just love your Vlogs. No bullshit, no blowing wind up yourself but the community supports everything you do and you are easily well well respected around your fellow 4wd community. Like always, ahead of many many Tubers. Thanks for sharing. Ps. Your tray looks sick and it follows your front guard lines, so perfect height.
I'm late to the party but mate you put out top notch content, regardless of what you're focusing on. Personally I enjoy watching your stuff because of your no bullshit approach. Post whatever you're passionate about and you'll capture that audience. Looking forward to the future content 🤙
yerp show your other video mate , we love a good relaxing camp and drive video ,even if not a hard wheeling video (most of us dont do hard driving anyway ) 😁👍 loving the tray build video , looking sweet . keep well mate 😉🍺
Killer looking tray build so far mate and the touring footage at the start looked absolutely epic 👌 I would put the vids up whether it was hardcore tracks or easy touring, we’ll watch it all 👍
Dead set I had that exact idea haha but yeah I didn’t want to because they’re 70mm long and 50mm wide so they would have stuck out too much, so I was gonna do just the front ones and back ones but yeah again looked a bit silly haha. Cheers for the thought mate!
Mate, ripper channel. Came across it maybe a week or so ago and since then I’ve binge watched every video in order. Your content presentation and delivery is brilliant, informative and you clearly put the work in. Spewin I can’t just click the next one now that I’ve caught up but I look forward to seeing what you upload in the future. On ya Timmy! 🤙🏼
Nice work on the tray Timmy. I bet it's super satisfying knowing that you've fabricated every part of it. I'd happily watch pretty much anything you upload, but the most important thing is that you stay true to yourself. I see too many UA-camrs these days desperately trying to feed the algorithms by posting specific types of content, clickbaity thumbnails and pandering to big sponsors.....and when i start seeing that I'm out.
For sure dude I know what you mean, I tend to just point a camera at what I’m doing anyway, whether people watch it or not. Like I don’t think 24v and High Mounts are massively popular topics but that’s just what we’re into haha. Cheers mate 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm only 8 min in, so this may get covered later on. But your discussion of the exo around the canopy and then the CAD view made me think. You mentioned hinging the center bar so you could open the canopy door. And just having a simple drawer and fridge. But what if the lower portion of the canopy, below the center bar on the exo, was just a drawer? Like, not a drawer inside of the door. Just a drawer that opened in that rectangle of space above the tray and the center exo bar. Then the canopy door was only the upper half above that bar. Only the sloped portion of the canopy.
Yeah that would be cool I know what you mean, I’ve already chosen the canopy I’m getting though so this whole headboard and tray is built to fit that canopy haha. Cheers dude 🙏🏻
Hey Timmy, little tip that's helped me like crazy with my pipe fabrication, a cheapy pipe sander from ebay, they set you back about 150, has allowed me to blend in those prefab 90s and all my engine piping in short time compared to the struggle i had with a grinder and flappy disc. love it looks good dude
Oh yeah dead set I bought one once upon a time when I was making the Q tray cause I saw someone using one in the past and the one I got off eBay was dodgy as and the belts it came with fell to bits and I haven’t bothered with another but you’re absolutely right they look perfect for it, Kistler got one recently and it only just reminded me they exist again haha
You doing a fantastic job on the ute tray buddy. I’m a tradesmen fabricator and I’m enjoy how you’re building your tray and I wish you all the best. It’s looking fantastic and also mix with the touring and the hard wheeling you doing well mate cheers Mark.
💯 want to see some 4x4 touring vids mate. Your channel is awesome, we get builds, tough wheeling, add some touring and camping and it’s an all round wicked experience for sure.
Awesome looking job you are doing on the tray Tim, I love it 👍 I don't think there's anything wrong with mixing it up a bit and throwing in some casual touring videos to cater for different tastes, I'd watch it.
Every video you put up is always worth watching, that tray build is giving me motivation to get back into the G60 patrol im doing. Keep up the awesome content 👍
I’m a marine trimmer and when I make Bimini bow rails (the same shape as your headboard) I start from the centre and bend towards the outside as I find the bends to be slightly different from the left to the right (if you know what I mean), so if you start at one end and work to the other like you have the bends will be slightly odd and not symmetrical, do you find that or are they all good?
Yeah I know exactly what you mean as in the direction that you feed it into the bender matters but technically na it shouldn’t matter if the die is symmetrical and has a continuous CLR, and if I was doing it by just measurement and by eye I would do it that way for sure but I was using software and so I was trialing it, but yeah everyone I know that’s been doing this a while would agree with you they’d work from centres but yeah this software accounts for all grow and shrink values and I do believe with this particular machine and die that the bend will be the same regardless of which end you start from, but what you wouldn’t be able to count on is distance between bends after the bends are done if that makes sense, but these are all measured out before they’re done, and must be pretty spot on cause it landed right on either side of the tray 👍🏻👍🏻
Looks mint mate. Why no under tray draw? Seems like alot of wasted space? I also struggle finding the line between geting it perfect and not wasting hours on something i or anyone else will even notice 😂
I bloody wanted to, I really did, but the rear centre infill ended up too narrow to fit one, but it’ll be a benefit cause I’ll be able to raise the fuel tank a bit and chuck a water tank under there, it’s not as much wasted space as you think cause the entire front half is filled with sub tank, exhaust and 24v batteries, so it’s just the area behind the diff but that’ll get used 🙏🏻
Whats your thoughts on under tray draws? I like them for tools and parts, heavy stuff to keep it low and centred but you don't, what's your thought with that?
Maybe try grind a recess in the RHS with a cutoff wheel before using the bandsaw, let the bandsaw find its way in the groove might make it a bit easier to use
lots of comments have said bit of both. absolutely the way to go mate. me, i am all bout touring n finding destinations for each trip away. each trip away is 6 months per state per year so i get to c a lot of this great country. 3 states to go then start again to do wat was missed the first time. Tassie is one of the 3 left.
Personally I enjoy a more “touring” approach. On UA-cam though I really enjoy watching channels like yours Tim as I’m able to live the hard tracks through your videos. I would love some touring videos in the future though. Planning a 2 week trip on Tasmania around may 2025 and would love some destinations.
@@timmyhasheart beach driving, easy to medium tracks and great views is what I’m after. Will be travelling down from cairns and I have nothing planned. Spots all around Tasmania would be unreal.
Hey Timmy, love your content and your builds but I have one comment, the volume difference between speaking parts and music makes it hard to watch your videos at night without waking people up haha. I think that you can normalise the volume across the video fairly easily but it depends on your editing software 👌
@@timmyhasheart Hahahaha yeah that's it, I watch on a TV with surround sound and the music is like a rave so I turn it down and then I can't hear you. Like I said though, big fan man keep it up ❤
Would be pretty mad to see a bit of touring stuff in between it all. Froth the current content and wealth of knowledge shared with builds and repairs but we all enjoy the cruisy trips too. Keep up the good work champion👌 im taking on my leaky boy injector pump replacement and the timing of it after watching your video on it today. Quietly not confident but hahaha👌👌
@timmyhasheart Thanks man! Sweet I got a Silvertop haha. Watched a few other videos now too and it looks super fiddly and time consuming which I'm okay with, i love to learn. Just mainly worried about dropping the key on the pump gear removal. Is the key sorta stuck in there or quite loose?
Happy to see some "touring" trips. You can always stop posting them if you don't get the viewers after showing a couple. Great job, thanks for sharing Timos
For sure mate, mind you this isn’t a job I don’t rely on big views you know but I also really love it when videos go well. It’s addictive in a way haha.
Would love to see the touring side to mate. I love watching the Hard wheeling but as my Hilux isn’t built for that. It would be great to see your more milder trips for inspiration. The tray looks sweeeet!
Na na I’m super proud of what I do, it’s super hard to explain like.. what I mean is it takes me a lot time to do simple tasks and I screw up a lot, but I persist and I’m not lazy and I stick with it until I’m proud of the result. That’s what I mean when I say I’m not competent. So like I can do what I do, but someone couldn’t pay me to do it for them cause I’d waste too much time and material and cost too much haha.
@@timmyhasheart Ahhhh yeah ok I’m with you now, mate that’s similar to what I used to be like with my Cabinetmaking trade. It’s exhausting isn’t it 😆 I can imagine trying to replicate those processes would require an approach like yours though! Nice work 👍
It is very nice to see your precision and the quality of the finished product so far. When sanding the tube joints, I often notice the superficiality with other "fabricators", so I'm very sensitive to it, but you don't have that and I like that. Can't wait the next video of the tray build! ;)
I mean that the joint between the prefabricated bends and the pipe is usually noticed because they are grinding with too rough discs, or they are just sloppy and don't care about the finished look. Then such a joint is visible even when the finished product is already painted. If you do it well, you won't notice that the bend consists of several parts. With you, I notice that you sand nicely, that the things look like they are made of one piece after welding. A lot of "home craftsmen" when they do a bullbar hoops or a roof rack for example, tend to just do it and not look at the aesthetics. And that gets on my nerves :D. Sometimes only a few more minutes spend on a job can separate us from a good finished product ant a bad finished product.
@@timmyhasheart thanks! We enjoy all your content, touring , hard wheeling and shed. Value your passion and how you present the different content. Keep it up mate
Keen to see your idea of touring every one has a slightly different idea of itll be cool too see as much as I enjoy the builds and tuff stuff sometimes those easier tracks have the best hidden getaways.
Yeah there has been a little bit going on with it, definitely the most complex one I’ve made. Dunno if I agree with tig welding it though haha, I do tig weld but mig all day long for something like that imo
@@timmyhasheart yeah I don’t mean it’s better to mig, I just mean that’s the next step up of “Fancy” My tray has tig side bars and the tig weld failed (not mine) , dropped me down the side and right over the broken weld and tore my whole knee 10cm open to the gooey bits 😂 So I was glad to see yours had big side bars on the other car .
i want to learn to weld. was thinking about doing a night course at tafe. dont really know a better way besides buying a welder and just having a go myself not sure what to do.
Yeah I started out just figuring it out..ish.. like gas mig was very easy to get started and you can pick it up and make it pretty, very very quickly, but then I surrounded myself with good advice and smarter blokes than me and that’s when the learning begins to do things right and make them strong, I still have bad habits but you learn as you go 🤙🏻🤙🏻
@@timmyhasheart thank you. I’m wanting to learn to work and build my car myself. Seeing you explain what you’re doing really helps. Hopefully one day I can build a tray for my car much appreciated keep up the good work you Have already taught me so much about rebuilding winches to building bar work
Mix up the content from tutorial, builds, tough wheeling and camp....just be you how you do all your videos that's why we're here...P.S those wheels in the background 👌...I have zero skills when it comes to fabrication with steel but I enjoy watching...it looks sick and I can appreciate the work that went into it.
I actually work full time in computers haha. But yeah by no means am I a great fabricator but I’ve tried to pickup what I can from mates and channels that are
100% Mix and Match between Tourin' and Hard wheelin'. It's very nice to see some hard tracks and some nice "moderate" tracks for us who don't want to do the hard stuff.
Yeah for sure dude, that’s what I was thinking like there’s a lot of cool stuff we go do and see in Tassie and would be cool to share also, it’s just we move pretty quick in the bush so it’s hard to make a coherent video haha, bits here, bits there 👍🏻
@timmyhasheart even if it's a quick 10 minute video, I wouldn't mind 👌
Always nice to see a touring trip mate to get some destination ideas
For sure mate 🔥🔥
Post whatever makes you happy mate.
Majority of us probably started following you for the hard wheeling but whatever you put out is an awesome watch my man. Good to see how far you've come. Keep it up we all appreciate it 🤙

Hell yeah Timmy!!!! deadset just woke up and all! Can't wait to see how the GU turns out! Thanks for the great content as always Timmy and hope ya have a good one 🫡
Haha cheers mate hope you enjoyed 🤙🏻🤙🏻
@@timmyhasheart Absolutely! Love the progress on the tray, she's gonna look clean as fuck when done!
Mate I’ll watch any video you upload, hard tracks, touring, builds, going to Woolies, whatever.
Haha awesome mate thank you 👊🏻
Ripper Content as usual Timmy, love the design!!! Can't wait to see it all finished.
Thanks so much mate, appreciate you stopping by and watching all the time, true GOAT 🙏🏻
Fascinating process. You make the concepts very comprehensible for the layman. Love your content. Any off road adventures would be welcomed.
Thanks heaps mate 🙏🏻
Awesome video, it's given me SOOO many ideas. I respect that you don't drink.
Awesome mate!!! Glad to help, and yeah screw drinking haha, not a fan. All it does is loses you an entire weekend day

Another wicked ep Timmy, wicked fab work as always pal.
And definately throw the touring into the channel, it’s not all only about hardcore 👍

Cheers
Sweet mate it’s eye opening how many would be keen for touring haha
Your content is always so wholesome. I always eagerly wait for the new episodes especially while im out at work. Good job mate, killing it 👌🏻
That’s awesome to hear mate thank you 🙏🏻
I’m a marine trimmer and when I make Bimini bow rails (the same shape as your headboard) I start from the centre and bend towards the outside as I find the bends to be slightly different from the left to the right (if you know what I mean), so if you start at one end and work to the other like you have the bends will be slightly odd and not symmetrical, do you find that or are they all good?
Yeah I know exactly what you mean as in the direction that you feed it into the bender matters but technically na it shouldn’t matter if the die is symmetrical and has a continuous CLR, and if I was doing it by just measurement and by eye I would do it that way for sure but I was using software and so I was trialing it, but yeah everyone I know that’s been doing this a while would agree with you they’d work from centres but yeah this software accounts for all grow and shrink values and I do believe with this particular machine and die that the bend will be the same regardless of which end you start from, but what you wouldn’t be able to count on is distance between bends after the bends are done if that makes sense, but these are all measured out before they’re done, and must be pretty spot on cause it landed right on either side of the tray 👍🏻👍🏻
Post whatever you like, As with everything, Some videos do better than others, A bit of a mix-up is always good 👌
Yeah definitely mate cheers 👍🏻
Looks mint mate.
Why no under tray draw? Seems like alot of wasted space?
I also struggle finding the line between geting it perfect and not wasting hours on something i or anyone else will even notice 😂
I bloody wanted to, I really did, but the rear centre infill ended up too narrow to fit one, but it’ll be a benefit cause I’ll be able to raise the fuel tank a bit and chuck a water tank under there, it’s not as much wasted space as you think cause the entire front half is filled with sub tank, exhaust and 24v batteries, so it’s just the area behind the diff but that’ll get used 🙏🏻
Whats your thoughts on under tray draws? I like them for tools and parts, heavy stuff to keep it low and centred but you don't, what's your thought with that?
I don’t think I said I don’t like em cause that was actually the original plan but the centrepiece of the tailboard ended up too narrow haha
Well done mate. With the gear you have in the shed you do a mint job! Whatever you put up is always great just keep being you bro.🤙🇦🇺
Awesome dude will do cheers 👊🏻
Awesome content as always mate.
You know you’ve got a problems when even the welding trolly has tube sliders on it😂
Hahahaha she’s going through the $1000 mate 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe try grind a recess in the RHS with a cutoff wheel before using the bandsaw, let the bandsaw find its way in the groove might make it a bit easier to use
Oh yeah that’s not a bad idea, I think I might bite the bullet and just get a proper bandsaw haha or beg kincrome to make one 🤣
Sick video mate, really makes me wanna give fab stuff a go! Where'd you get the tail lights from on the gu at 33:19 aswell?
Ahh they’re just eBay jobs man, had em cable tied there so I could drive it till my tailboard is wired up 🤙🏻
Hey mate, great tray build
I’m building one of my own, big fan of those tail lights on your gu, what are they? Cheers
Thanks mate! They’re road vision, BR122ARR is the model number 👍🏻
Hey mate just wondering what happened to the kingcrome giveaway
Love the content btw
Yeah it happened mate, I picked 5 random, all the winners got their kit, I should have included it in an episode . 🫠
Yea mate absolutely love the content and would love a bit of both touring/vlogging and tuff wheeling but good on ya mate for making the tray I love it
Cheers mate will edit something together form the trip. Cheers dude 🙏🏻
lots of comments have said bit of both. absolutely the way to go mate. me, i am all bout touring n finding destinations for each trip away. each trip away is 6 months per state per year so i get to c a lot of this great country. 3 states to go then start again to do wat was missed the first time. Tassie is one of the 3 left.
Nice mate that’s a sick way to do it!
What's the software you used to design the canopy before hand? Mint vid🤙
Reach out on Instagram so I don’t forget mate I’ll grab it I can’t remember atm
Mate love you videos so I would like to see anything you do. Being from Tassie myself I love all your content
Appreciate that mate thank you 👊🏻👊🏻
Very nice looking set of Treps along the wall, the $1000 tracks only going to take an hour to get through 😂.
Hahaha treps and 50% gears in the warn this year!! Home for lunch 😅
touring and hard wheeling 💪🏽 content is content and i’ll watch anything you upload
Awesome mate haha
Them tray mount will hold up anything, you could close up 1 extra side but really not needed
Yeah that was an idea too or having like a piece of bracing angle up the inside
Yeah mate, would love to see other parts of our state & not the mainlanders coming in & filming the same tracks.
Cheers mate I’ll definitely have to whip the camera out next time I’m on a trip! 🙏🏻
Another ripper big fella, where did you pick those tail lights up from?
The ones on the GU back? Just eBay jobs mate 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Hey mate, love your work! What program did you draw your tray up in? Would you recommend it?
Ahh the program you see on the screen in the background is called bend tech
For a bloke that is not a fabricator, that is an awesome job, keep it up.
Cheers dude, baker by trade here 🤣🤣
Howdy man be keen as to see your spin on a touring vid or 3 keep up the good work mate love your cruzzy vids🤙
For sure mate, I go away so often but rarely film it, definitely a waste sometimes when I could share it 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Love bit of a mix we always know you'll showcase the harder stuff
Yeah definitely dude 🙏🏻
Make smaller weekly episodes. No need to skip over stuff. People love seeing all the going ons
Haha yeah for sure, I dunno about weekly I work full time haha, but could definitely do some of the touring stuff I do 🤙🏻🤙🏻
More than happy to aee touring stuff as well, it gives me ideas of places to go and visit.
🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Tray looks mint so far 👌 Definitely share the touring trips be sweet to see that side of things also 🤙
Thanks heaps mate!! Keen for it to be done ✅
Function over form. Cool ideas.going to be strong and look good.
Facts mate 👊🏻👊🏻 and thank you 🙏🏻
What ever wheeling/ touring you film ill be happy to watch
Cheers mate noted!!!
Personally I enjoy a more “touring” approach. On UA-cam though I really enjoy watching channels like yours Tim as I’m able to live the hard tracks through your videos. I would love some touring videos in the future though. Planning a 2 week trip on Tasmania around may 2025 and would love some destinations.
Nice mate I’ll have to chuck it into the edit 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@timmyhasheart beach driving, easy to medium tracks and great views is what I’m after. Will be travelling down from cairns and I have nothing planned. Spots all around Tasmania would be unreal.
Hey Timmy, love your content and your builds but I have one comment, the volume difference between speaking parts and music makes it hard to watch your videos at night without waking people up haha. I think that you can normalise the volume across the video fairly easily but it depends on your editing software 👌
Oh really? In what direction? As in the talking is a lot quieter? And it’s bold of you to assume I don’t want everyone woken up.. haha jk
@@timmyhasheart Hahahaha yeah that's it, I watch on a TV with surround sound and the music is like a rave so I turn it down and then I can't hear you. Like I said though, big fan man keep it up ❤
No way ! How long has Tasmania had electricity ? 🤔
Haha mate I’m lucky I have a couple of minions on bikes out the back pedalling just to run the welder 🔥🔥
Love these videos and it’s so sick to see how much you have progressed keep it up 😊
Thank you dude, always try to step it up a bit in the edits and presenting mainly 🔥🔥
Would be pretty mad to see a bit of touring stuff in between it all. Froth the current content and wealth of knowledge shared with builds and repairs but we all enjoy the cruisy trips too. Keep up the good work champion👌 im taking on my leaky boy injector pump replacement and the timing of it after watching your video on it today. Quietly not confident but hahaha👌👌
Oh nice dude good luck with it!! Absolute prick of a job haha, especially in black tops cause of the vac pump 🤣🤣
@timmyhasheart Thanks man! Sweet I got a Silvertop haha. Watched a few other videos now too and it looks super fiddly and time consuming which I'm okay with, i love to learn. Just mainly worried about dropping the key on the pump gear removal. Is the key sorta stuck in there or quite loose?
Definitely would like to see the touring stuff too mate love your content
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Happy to see some "touring" trips. You can always stop posting them if you don't get the viewers after showing a couple. Great job, thanks for sharing Timos
For sure mate, mind you this isn’t a job I don’t rely on big views you know but I also really love it when videos go well. It’s addictive in a way haha.
@@timmyhasheart I'm flexible but others may not be so just beware of alienating some of your audience when considering changes to your channel. Cheers
Love it all but touring is my favourite in really awesome terrain!
Awesome mate will keep in mind!
Would love to see the touring side to mate. I love watching the Hard wheeling but as my Hilux isn’t built for that. It would be great to see your more milder trips for inspiration.
The tray looks sweeeet!
Yeah mate absolutely makes sense, I’ll see what I can toss together 👍🏻👍🏻
@@timmyhasheart look forward to it. Otherwise I might just have to put bigger rubber on my bus 😂
Gees your fab skills aren’t bad what you talking about! Pretty impressive I reckon and you have some good gear too 🤙 Cheers!
Na na I’m super proud of what I do, it’s super hard to explain like.. what I mean is it takes me a lot time to do simple tasks and I screw up a lot, but I persist and I’m not lazy and I stick with it until I’m proud of the result. That’s what I mean when I say I’m not competent. So like I can do what I do, but someone couldn’t pay me to do it for them cause I’d waste too much time and material and cost too much haha.
@@timmyhasheart Ahhhh yeah ok I’m with you now, mate that’s similar to what I used to be like with my Cabinetmaking trade. It’s exhausting isn’t it 😆
I can imagine trying to replicate those processes would require an approach like yours though! Nice work 👍
Loving your work my brother you are doing a great job ❤
Thanks heaps mate, appreciate you letting me know!! 🔥🔥
It is very nice to see your precision and the quality of the finished product so far. When sanding the tube joints, I often notice the superficiality with other "fabricators", so I'm very sensitive to it, but you don't have that and I like that.
Can't wait the next video of the tray build! ;)
Oh really? That’s cool, what do you mean you notice where the joins are? And thanks mate 🙏🏻
I mean that the joint between the prefabricated bends and the pipe is usually noticed because they are grinding with too rough discs, or they are just sloppy and don't care about the finished look. Then such a joint is visible even when the finished product is already painted. If you do it well, you won't notice that the bend consists of several parts.
With you, I notice that you sand nicely, that the things look like they are made of one piece after welding.
A lot of "home craftsmen" when they do a bullbar hoops or a roof rack for example, tend to just do it and not look at the aesthetics.
And that gets on my nerves :D.
Sometimes only a few more minutes spend on a job can separate us from a good finished product ant a bad finished product.
@adventureoverland9044 yeah gets on my nerves too, although tube is very hard to blend if you go in the wrong direction doing it with a grinder haha,
Great video. What software do you use for CAD?
I’ll have to check tonight mate hit me up on Insta I just use what a mate does I haven’t really done much in it
Wicked work. Love the patience
What’s those tail lights called on the Ute as you drove out from the hoist ?
They’re just a “dynamic LED tail light” off eBay, I used them on the old GU tray, they’re just cable tied there so I could drive the GU
@@timmyhasheart thanks! We enjoy all your content, touring , hard wheeling and shed. Value your passion and how you present the different content. Keep it up mate
Sweet vid Timmy. Tray looks mint bro
Thanks heaps mate 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Keen to see your idea of touring every one has a slightly different idea of itll be cool too see as much as I enjoy the builds and tuff stuff sometimes those easier tracks have the best hidden getaways.
Yeah definitely mate, plenty of hidden gems in Tassie, won’t be giving them all away but ;) haha
@@timmyhasheart one day I'll be down there to find some🤣🤣
Thats a complex tray to build at home .( and I do all my own fab and welding )
Next step up would be tig welding it all .
Yeah there has been a little bit going on with it, definitely the most complex one I’ve made.
Dunno if I agree with tig welding it though haha, I do tig weld but mig all day long for something like that imo
@@timmyhasheart yeah I don’t mean it’s better to mig, I just mean that’s the next step up of “Fancy”
My tray has tig side bars and the tig weld failed (not mine) , dropped me down the side and right over the broken weld and tore my whole knee 10cm open to the gooey bits 😂
So I was glad to see yours had big side bars on the other car .
i want to learn to weld. was thinking about doing a night course at tafe. dont really know a better way besides buying a welder and just having a go myself not sure what to do.
Yeah I started out just figuring it out..ish.. like gas mig was very easy to get started and you can pick it up and make it pretty, very very quickly, but then I surrounded myself with good advice and smarter blokes than me and that’s when the learning begins to do things right and make them strong, I still have bad habits but you learn as you go 🤙🏻🤙🏻
@@timmyhasheart thank you. I’m wanting to learn to work and build my car myself. Seeing you explain what you’re doing really helps. Hopefully one day I can build a tray for my car much appreciated keep up the good work you Have already taught me so much about rebuilding winches to building bar work
Keep on making awesome stuff Bro. I really enjoy it. I would love to learn how to welding
Get a welder and have a crack dude!! Can only learn by doing it 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@timmyhasheart what do you reckon? The best one to learn? I have done a bit of wings before but not too crazy.
Timmy, what make/model is that pipe bender? I need that at work. Awesome stuff mate, keep it up!
Ahh it’s a speedwerx model 2 mate with 40 & 32 dies 👍🏻
@@timmyhasheart I thought it was a speedwerx. Love the content and the build series. Gives me plenty of ideas for my own stuff. Cheers
Post them up mate!
Trays looking 👌
Thanks heaps mate and will do 👊🏻👊🏻
Mix up the content from tutorial, builds, tough wheeling and camp....just be you how you do all your videos that's why we're here...P.S those wheels in the background 👌...I have zero skills when it comes to fabrication with steel but I enjoy watching...it looks sick and I can appreciate the work that went into it.
Yeah definitely makes sense cheers mate, haha they’re for the next $1000 trip!! 🔥🔥🔥
What’s the computer program your using mate?
Sing out on Insta and ill get the name of it I can’t remember atm 🤣
Yeah is looking mint and a hood between hard wheeling with some touring load carrying capabilities 👍🏼
Yeah boy!! Cheers 👊🏻👊🏻
You need a dog Timmy lol
Bloody awesome job Timmy 👍🏽
I have a dog haha, he was in the winch episode!! But he keeps mum company while I’m doing jobs on the car cause he likes biting the welder sparks 🤣
Another great video Timmy.
What do you do as a everyday job as you a very skilled at a lot of things
I actually work full time in computers haha. But yeah by no means am I a great fabricator but I’ve tried to pickup what I can from mates and channels that are
@@timmyhasheart didn’t expect that at all.
You’re having a go and doing a good job at.
Keep up the good work.
Your Tray is coming along beautifully. Thanks for all the Tips & TRICKS 😃👍. Definitely keen on a Mix of Touring & the Hard Stuff as well!!!
Thanks heaps mate!! Already being edited!
We want to see anything from you all your content is on point
Cheers mate 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Cheeky treps in the background there 🥵🥵 love your work brother 🤙
Premature there common problem for me 😂 GQ looks fat on treps!!
Hahaha doesn’t it!! Keen to use em on a trip soon! 🫡🫡
Are they Treps in the background?
Bloody oath mate, keen to obliterate some driveline 😂
Like all everything on your channel. Touring, hard tracks, and home workshop repairs or just fabrication. Mix it up from time to time. Would be great.
Definitely mate for sure 👊🏻
Gday Timmy. Id watch the touring and camping stuff as well as your harder 4x4 stuff.
Heck yeah dude I might have to whip something together 👊🏻👊🏻
Definitely would love to see some touring trips!
For sure mate!!
