For me the best it’s the roll bar, the roof and the side adds on, I am not sold on the gunner seat. There is a phase 5 or front adds on that may be cool. I love them but as you said the are kind of on the pricy side. Almost $30 or $40 per set. Thanks again great review.
I don't mind watching the full install, especially since the Gridiron sets don't come with instructions. You don't struggle that much at all. There are some UA-camrs that clearly didn't grow up at a time when, "Assembly required." was a thing. It can be painful to watch. Lol! You could always add a time stamp, so viewers could skip ahead if they want. Anyways, my doors fit just fine. The lights were loose, but I just heated them in warm water and pinched them closed until they cooled so they fit tight. My only complaint about the set is that the lights interfere with the windshield folding down, but that's a very small complaint. I'm going to pick up the front--end Brush Guard kit, but I doubt I'll install the new hood. I finally saw that set in a video, and the hood assembly added a bit too much for my liking. I sure like the brush guard though. Thank you for the work you put in to your channel, I really enjoy your videos. My youngest son also collects the Classified Series, and you're one of the few UA-camrs we can watch together without having to worry about strong language.
Ohhh sneak peak for phase 5 did I see. I think everyone probably started with the lights upright. Sucks your passenger door does not close well. Keep the videos coming and can't wait to get my phase 5. Hoping we get the Vanguard and Ramen Racer soon!
Whoa I paid it in full except shipping which they suppose to let us know how much extra that will be. Just dying for both to ship out. I should have preordered 2 vamps with all these accessories I have ordered. The gridiron Elite Operator 10 was a must order for me, can't wait to see it in person especially that switch blade.
I for one am loving the upgrades. I got the roof set last week. I ordered the "In A Clutch" AR set, now I need the hood, rear gunner, door gunner & driver side sets.
If you do speed it up, that's fine as long as I can still see what you're doing. Great additions to the vamp. The lights can hang upside down on the bar also.
Finally got my phase 5 stuff today, got my Vamp all pimped out, I love it. When they do the Stinger and the Tiger Force version's I;m going to have to pimp all those out to. Yeah its expensive but I think its worth it.
Love seeing these get built up! My Phases 4 and 5 are still a state away. I'd say my favorite pieces so far would be the roll bar, top mounted machine gun, light grills, and the roof rack. I think I'll have at least one of mine with just those mods and of course one with ALL Phases.
This was a great upgrade for the vamp, but it wasn't without a bit of trial and error for me to make everything fit. As for the driver's side door, I was able to slide the roof rack forward a tiny bit, and the door fit perfectly. If I had to do it again, I would put the doors on first, then matching the roof to the doors. I like the whole "build" part of your videos, and like to hear your thought process, and/or puzzle solving while you are putting everything together. I use your videos as tutorials as well, if i get stuck, or just to see what I did wrong, lol. Great job, and thanks!
I am waiting to get them all before I put them on. I will have to wait until then before I make that call. But I do agree all the phases are good for an overall visual.
Is the door joined at the roof bar? So far, i like everything, but the roll bar and bumper have been my favorites, so fat. I just got the doors, and they fit perfectly.

Very cool! that’s why I keep the language PG brings a smile to my face that we are passing along the hobby :) I’m doing phase 5 tomorrow (brush guard)

Thanks! And yes I want my Ramen RACER! Lol… cmon man lol I paid for shipping already let’s GO!!

I love it in my vamp but it's disappointing that they don't include covers for all three light arrays.
They have them but in separate packages… so you’re right this one only has them for 2 of the 3
I for one am loving the upgrades. I got the roof set last week. I ordered the "In A Clutch" AR set, now I need the hood, rear gunner, door gunner & driver side sets.
sorry about your driver side door, mine were fine. I got too excited when I got my set and put the lights on wrong too.😅
I’m gonna contact them and see if they’ll send a replacement?
If you do speed it up, that's fine as long as I can still see what you're doing. Great additions to the vamp. The lights can hang upside down on the bar also.
Love the part “I can do math too” 😂😂😂 looks great Sir 🫡

Excellent video. I like your approach to adding the parts to the Vamp. I am patiently waiting the arrival of my Vamp.
Great review.. like it at regular speed to see when problems pop up.. and how you fix it. 👍🏼

It’s hard to stop once you start :) thanks for watching!

Appreciate you roguewar … thanks for watching I remember you were one of the first
im having a hell of a time getting the snorkel on
I hope you finally got that on … I don’t remember it being too tricky ?
shenanigans! love it.. keep up the good work.. is every set a winner, probably not, but man if you love doing it, keep on doing it!
💯 agree sir and thanks for stopping by :)
I like watching how the pieces fit! So I vote no to the speed up.

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoy the content
It looks cool. I like the bare bones hasbro version best.
I think if you move or remove the hanging handle the door might close

I’ll have to check with the door
