Looks like you saved lots of money this way but used up a ton of time. Good looking welds👍 it should take me about a week to learn to weld like you..😅😂🤣🤪🤔 Why did everyone laugh when I said that. 👍👍😁 ok maybe in 10 years. 😆
Thanks man. Yeah years of practice. And probably too much time. It’s either time or money! It seems you can’t have both. Probably would have had to save for 10 years to afford a ready made rig like this will be.
Nice job there! Would be nice if you could add a schematic of where all your mounts and brackets will go... I'm building a similar truck so it's nice to see other ideas. And did you measure the amount of flex your frame has under stress?
Thanks for watching the vid. I haven’t got a drawing as such, I based the distances of the mounts depending on existing structures in place on the chassis and tried to get them as evenly spaced as possible, but biasing them as far forward as possible. I did do a test on the flex and there should be a UA-cam short of it on my channel. Btw thanks for the tips with regards to the veggie oil system. Really like the use of the veggie return line back to the engine again to save heat. Never thought of that one.
@@overlandingomar Thanks, I'll check your short video on it. And no worries for the tip! Are you keeping your 6 way valve? I still think you'd be way better with two 3-way valves...
Gday, I'm sorry but I highly recommend not using this on the rear. Unless I'm miss understanding the method for their use, I can't see how your chassis will be able to flex at all with them mounted at the rear. Anyway look forward to see how you progress. 👍
Thanks for your comment. Yeah the idea is to have very little or no flex at the rear. Ideally the rear needs to quite ridged. The front near the cab is where the most flex in the chassis is likely to occur. If you look at how the professionals do it they use a solid steel plate with multiple high tensile bolts through the chassis and bed frame to anchor it to the truck chassis. This also removes any likelihood of the box frame ever shifting forward/backwards in the event of a shunt I.e accident etc. Hope that helps
Huge brackets - well done ...awesome tig welding!!
Awesome vid! Can’t wait to see the truck when it’s finished!🤪
Thanks Meg. Me too😅
Neat job. Can't wait to inspect the whole build when you come rolling down our driveway. All the best.
Can’t wait, dreaming of that day. Just gotta keep on pushing with the build!
Well done!!
Yay overlanding Omar is back 👌🏻.
Awesome work being done, and so good to see the progress made. Really impressed 😊
Awsome Omar 👍
