    ⁠​​⁠so guy I drive these home delivery vans. Honestly do your self a favour move the light bar on the back up as high as possible. The factory location below the box really affects the break over angle, I can’t count how many time work has had to fix them after it has bottom out and dragged on the road

    Deffo up for a tool talk Tuesday, John. 👍 Although Jess is a very respectable DIYer, she just doesn't understand a man's need to buy essential tools, like the Bosch cordless rivet gun. I say buy it, your ears must be used to Jess's protestations by now. 😁 I've just noticed you have a manual silicone gun, you definitely need a Makita cordless gun, mate. Maybe that could be your Tool Talk Tuesday debut. 🤔😁

    Slowly catching up 🙂 Tip for those roof rack uprights, rather than cut them, stick them in the drill press and use a 25mm (or whatever size tubing you are using) hole saw to drill through them, gives you a really snug fit to weld up.

    Come on now, while a tool related show would be quite a thing, we all know it's just another veiled attempt to buy more tools.
    I'm not knocking you in any way, but I do see through ya!
    :)
    In all seriousness, I absolutely love the detail you go into for your tips and tools and materials you use. They're really helpful.
    I know it's not ideal, but maybe an idea (if it does become a problem) for mitigating any snow or rain with that walk-through door seal is something like a length of water pipe insulator, the foam type. If you cut it to length and pop it down over the seal between the cab and the back then it'll be flexible enough to account for temperature changes in the metal. Hope you see what I mean.

    Brilliant looking build. Not jealous of the garage.. Yard space.. Lift.. Or landy rover 😮. Can't help thinking that sprinter needing lifting to look like the 4x4 variant 😊 keep it up 👌🏼

      Cheers mate 👍, At first I really wanted to give it a lift and whilst I think it will look the part, practically I don’t think it would be good, it’s quite tall as it is and with the double fold out step it might make it a bit awkward to get in……… it would look good tho hey 😂😂😂🤔🤔🤔

    Video just popped up, and i'm glad it did. Always wondered if these would make a good camper, and the answer is firmly yes! So much more room in the back than expected. Some cracking fab skills on display.

    Great video, but you are using the bending machine wrong, you should pull down to bend it’s easier not push up 😮

    • @truebluetravellers
      @truebluetravellers  Рік тому

      Cheers mate, yeah I tried it bending down but as I try to keep the length as long as possible to have as few welds as possible the tube it too long for me to get a 90 bending down 👍

    If you think your "over compensating " with snap ons , move on to King Dick spanners or lose weight with Super Slims , my preference is Facon , last forever .Had mine since 72.

    are you going to add some insulation to the cab where the cut through it as it might be cool to do that and add some storage there as well

    • @truebluetravellers
      @truebluetravellers  Рік тому +1

      Yes 😃 we have used some stick on foam and foil insulation on the back of the cab and I carpeted it a couple of days ago too! Think we might make some little storage boxes to go behind the seat bases too…. You’ve got me thinking of other ideas though… maybe I could make something like I did for the back door of our defender 🤔 thanks 👍
