If you ever have to paint wheels again, let the tyre down, shove playing cards around the rim between tyre and rim bead, and mask the rest of the tyre. Gives an excellent finish right up to the rim edge. Have been binge watching the entire build since finding it. Fantastic job you two!
A tip for masking wheels , use a deck of playing cards , they are stiff enough and thin enough to wedge between the rim and tyre and cheaper than masking tape , paper and cardboard , and the biggest plus is it’s really quick 👍 this Mog is looking awesome , a testament to your hard work 👍
Hey guys! nice progress!! For keeping the door open, I've seen other people using a little rubber tube. The piece you've already put in the door enters very tightly in the rubber tube, enough to keep it from wind to open, but you can just pull it with your hand and it will be freed. Also, in order to work better, it should be placed closer to the outer end of the door. You are doing such a dream of a vehicle to live in! Thanks for sharing it with us! Cheers!
Its nice that you two are building this Unimog with kind of primitive tools, unlike others on UA-cam that have an unlimited budget and possess more tools then a automotive shop. Its nice because I'm in the same boat as you two. Thanks It give me encouragement knowing that I can build my truck with limited budget and tools.
An extra washer or 2 in 1 of the tool boxes back corners with a small hole (plug optional for hole) would greatly help in removing water if/when that becomes a concern. Do the newer batteries produce harmful fumes when charging like the old AGM batteries do ( your turn to teach this old dog a new trick LOL). PRO TIP when removal of tyres happens again wire brush the heck outa the exposed threads before removing nuts (good habit anytime remove wheel nuts). Paint for some reason (baked on from heat generated when MOG is in motion) just loves to cause grief on wheel studs compared to body bolts. So it's a matter of when you want to deal with it. In perfect conditions or worse possible conditions (when a flat usually happens) or farm it out to someone else. I say this because i've had to cut the nuts off a MOG before because my 2500 ft lbs air impact couldn't budge the nuts ($50 flat repair became a $1000 real fast) and would rather not see you take that kinda hit to the Funds. Great additions to the build this episode looking forward to seeing you enjoying them :).
Good job on the rear winch guys need to put a splashguard stop the mud from covering the winch or rear winch has made some sort of card stock the stuff off the rear wheels and stuff moving backwards from damaging the winch on the Rope doesn't have to be anything special just something
Hi guys the old hook and eye catch will work for your door problem another idea is to super glue earth magnets to the one you have already mounted. Although they are so strong they would most probably stay in place with out glueing.Make sure you put one top and bottom of the door as you have a big wind catch area that will slam the door shut in high wind. Hope this helps; see you at the 4 wheel drive show. Cheers. Great vid's by the way
The magnet to hold the door back is far too close to the hinge and so it has a fulcrum effect. If you move it halfway back along the door away from the hing (even if you have to build it out a little if you want to maintain that angle), it'll hold much more strongly.
you can try and mount the magnetic doorstop more to the end of the door. that way outside forces like wind don't have that big of a lever to separate the magnets. if the hoorhandle makes that impossible, you'd have to make the base of the magnet stick out more for that.
Looks great! May I suggest Re the magnet catch on the door......moving it further along if you can? as this will do 2 things, reduce the leverage/lever or physics if you like from wind and 2nd the door will sir closer to the body and reduce the catching effect from the wind. Cheers!!
Great effort but stay safe guys, you really pushed the safe working limits of those plastic tables you were using under the steel plate! Also, the magnetic door stop will work better when further from the hinge point...
Production value of these just keeps getting better and better. Nice work. Whole thing looks like it is really starting to come together. That must be so satisfying after so much hard work.
When the door is right open against the box use a magnet on the door and one the box so when you open the door the magnets against each other hold the door.
Looks awesome!! I doubt you’ll need another battery 400ah is a shitload of power... but if you really want it...you’ll need to add it before using the system. It’s not advisable to add a new lithium to a used battery bank....so if you want another one later...you’ll need ALL new batteries.
Paul, I have thought about the same and the solution I find is to fit a "1/1+2/2" dual system master switch and only use/charge the additional dissimilar battery when you need to.
I am totally on board with your idea of building things yourself to keep cost down and getting what you want. I urge you to keep it simple. The last thing you need is when you are on your travels you end up spending to much time repairing things instead of enjoying the places you visit. This happened to me and I ended up ditching stuff that failed ( usually things I made) . Unfortunately if you make yourself you cannot do destruction testing . Some companies do destructively test their stuff. You might be better off with that despite your excellent design and build skills.
Just a suggestion for the winch you can just earth it directly to the chassis, will save you $150 in cable and provide a superior connection that will be easier to inspect
Gday, Nice work, keep it up. Once you get out and about you may find you’ll need to DOUBLE LATCH the cupboard doors as they may come open when you’re off road.
Dedication guys Ange is a real trooper amazes me what she can do the bolt you were undoing the wrong way i think everyone has done that all good mate its coming on leaps and bounds
Aw thanks Terry - that's a really nice compliment! I do my best to help Chris, he's the one doing most of the hard work. Thank you very much for watching :)
Perhaps your magnetic door catch would work if you moved it to the end of the door (further from the hinge)? The further out you move it, the more force required to get it to release. Moment of inertia or some such (if I remember right). Also perhaps a second magnetic catch at the top of the door as well? Cheers! 🍻
I love what you two are doing and the fact you’re doing it together. just one thought, you are putting waaayyyyy to much faith in those folding tables. mounting the winch from under the table…oh hell no. LOL.
Agree The moment I saw that, I thought oh shit ! If the skinny legs etc on the table gave way, and collapsed, that’s a lot of weight coming down hard and quick onto Chris. 😩
The mog got air brakes and compressor and air reservoir. Why not take advantage of that and run an air line to make an air driven door latch that keep the door secured just by pressing a button? In fact, you could do the same for the interior. You could have 1 button to lock/unlock all drawers and cabinets. A small locking pin could be air driven. You could wire it up so that it automatically locks all cabinets and drawers whenever the engine is turned over. That way you will know that all the interior is lock down tight during driving. Nothing will open up and fall out or brake even when travelling dirt roads.
Great work guys those toolboxes came up great And the new winch at the back was made to go there I’m learning so much and getting some great ideas thanks for everything
Another great weeks worth of progress guys 👍😀. I was concerned Chrissy Boy was going to lose an arm with that rear plate 😳 Just an idea, have you thought of putting some shielding over your nice new shiny rear winch. At the moment it is looking pretty exposed to dust or any stones that are thrown up by the tyres. Just a bit of sheet metal or even a rubber mud flap would help protect it.
Try a magnetic door stop from one of your favourite suppliers (Bunnings). You can get ones that are longer so can be fitted further away from the hinge giving better leverage. Just mount it at the top of the door rather than the bottom so you don't smash your head on it when the door is closed. We use one on our bifold doors and they stay open even in fairly strong winds.
Hey guys looks great, all coming along well! For the door holder have a look at a Fiamma door holder. It's a ball and socket design and works well on our van. Regardless of what you use, I'd suggest making a small wedge or other kind of mount so that the holder you choose when latching is parallel, it'll make for a firmer hold.
Chris, you've come so far with your handy skills. My philosophy is have a go at everything once, you learn a heap, make a few errors but the rewards are great. See you next week. Marty from Perth
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Just to correct something you said about AGM batteries, they can be discharged 100% the same as lithium but it is recommended to only discharge to about 50%. This will ensure longer life for the batteries. But lithium is the way to go these days unless finances are a priority.
Gosh, those picnic tables get a good run for their money! And so lucky about your wrist and that back plate :| I gasp'd as that fell down - so close!! Keep up the great work :)
Looking great. When I was in Playa Del Carmen Mexico they had magnetic door catches in the condo that were super strong. I had to really pull the door away. So maybe look for commercial or industrial size door catches.
Awesome episode you guys! Things are really shaping up and coming together. A couple of suggestions, using lock tite on your bolts will help to keep them from coming undone, alternatively you can double nut them to make sure the nuts don't become loose. An idea for that little triangle space in the cabinetry, use netting to secure the items inside and use the space for things like breads or other soft items (a couple of baggetts always make a great addition to any meal!) that will not make a huge banging sound up against the back wall of the enclosure. Keep up the great work and see you next episode! Aloha from Hawaii
Have you tried more then one of those magnetic catches? Our make/use a biggger magnet :). Otherwise they make mechanical catches for doors. Live confidently and peacefully
Good choice with the Maxtrax Xtreme, I have the same one but black stealth! By far the best recovery tracks in the market. I sell them in my store as well.
Love the camera work Ange. You’re both going in leaps and bounds now. Wish I could be there in WA to check Bowser out. Hopefully we’ll catch you up around Australia in our rig 🌻

Have been binge watching the entire build since finding it. Fantastic job you two!
Move the magnet to the furthest edge from the hinges… as you have it there is too much leverage over the magnet from the door 👍
Hi James - We tried that but as the door handle sticks out, it stops us putting the magnets to the furthest edge if that makes?
That answers my question, also. A simple spacer should fix your problem, at low cost.
@@TheOutFit hard rubber spacer? Would also act as a softer stop if the wind catches the door as you are opening the door and it gets away from you….🤔
Yep, I would have suggested the same thing to move the magnets out and use a spacer to get the right distance.
My RV had a spring-loaded arm that would lift up and hook into a bracket on the door. Very rugged and windproof.
Une nouvelle étape dans votre préparation. beau boulot. 👍👌😃
A tip for masking wheels , use a deck of playing cards , they are stiff enough and thin enough to wedge between the rim and tyre and cheaper than masking tape , paper and cardboard , and the biggest plus is it’s really quick 👍 this Mog is looking awesome , a testament to your hard work 👍
Hey guys! nice progress!! For keeping the door open, I've seen other people using a little rubber tube.

Thank you very much for your comment, that's such nice feedback for me to get - thank you for pointing it out!

Door latch. Multiple magnetics? Yachts have some good strong latches for hatches.
Your build is amazing.
That a cross plate is to hold the chassis straight and it keeps it from bending under heavy work.
You are a very good fabricator and, the ideas you have are spot on.
So many things getting done now - great to see. Must say that the rim colour has transformed the rig - looking so good!!!
So glad you like it as much as we do Andre! Thanks as always for the support :)

Move the door magnet further away from the hinge, so you have less leverage

Two magnets will increase the hold, also move them away from the pivot point, this will decrease the leverage.

Great video , best regards from Norway😊
Thanks for watching all the way from Norway!
Put the magnet further out towards the end of the door so it has more leverage to hold the door shut
And maybe add a extra rare earth magnet into the mix. I have some 2” ones with a chamfered through-hole to take a fastening
