Help us decide... WHITE or BLACK? 🤔
White!
We‘ve got a black overlander and the contrast for content (photos / videos) is bad.
White rims will make it pop and tie in with the roof.
Black will make it look like two vehicles but together from left over parts.
White, or cream would be even better.
white!
The color doesn't matter, as long as it's black. Or Body color...
Gunmetal Grey
As a former driver in the military for such a car, it looks a lot better now. ❤❤❤ Approved by ex military
That means a lot, thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
As a swede I have been a bit worried that you would mess with it a bit too much from the original looks. But what a transformation that was. I love that you are keeping the signholders and accessories. The signs in swedish is such a nice touch and nod to the heritage aswell.
That's such a nice feedback, thank you so much for sharing and subscribing :)
Chris, your such a great Dad, you have done a great job, I loved watching you play with Oaklee and included him in the video's. Ange is a proud mum and you guys as a family make a great team.
Such a nice comment to read, thank you so much for your kindness!
To remove glued in glass, force a piece of steel wire through the glue from inside to outside (mig wire works). Use about 500mm and wrap each end around some pieces of pipe or broom handle so you have something to pull on. Now use a sawing motion to cut though the glue. It's obviously a 2 person job but it works very well.
I was beginning to get a little worried, no vid for over a week?
Already the grief of brake problems is in the rear view mirrow and the joy of accomplishment clear.
Watching Oakley playing with his Mum and Dad, what a fabulous life of freedom and exploration he's going to have.
Cheers
Ian
100% do white wheels, it won't show dirt as much as you think. The colour combination is brilliant. Keep up the good work on the truck Chris. Ange you are doing a great job too.
That might not be a Land Rover colour, but it sure looks like it. Good choice.
It is looking really good, much better than I had expected.
White wheel rims will look great and won't show up the dirt as much as black, but with black centre hubs will set it right off IMHO.
Well done so far guys.
Love the colour scheme..
All the prep work you did paid off..
I would do the wheels white to give a good balance with white roof..😊
I had one of those in the military, but the TGB1314 edition, i.e the Medivac version.
Now you probably never want to drive it like we did, but that car can basically go through any terrain. We even had an incident during an exercise where we were to ford a river, and we had completely the wrong information about the depth.
Cabin got flooded to about halfway up our thighs, the exhaust was totally submersed but my driver managed to push us through and onto the other side. Then the rest of the company (in other types fo vehicles) got scared about crossing, and left us on the otherside, and of course we did not have the correct encryption keys for the radio so we spent half the day sightseeing the south of Sweden while looking for our regiment.
Anyway, it is a crude but fun little car, that will last you forever. You doing a great job giving it a new lease on life.
Looks fantastic, love the vintage vibe it got! 🙌
Looking good! Reward for all the effort is starting to shine through now. 👏
White with black center's, looking good 👍👏👏👏
Hi from NZ guys! Truck looks awesome!! Spent the last two-three days rewatching your mog build, can remember watching through covid but currently trying to convince the mrs into a build and your content is perfect :D great to see how far you've both come with the boy too great to see! All the best, look forward to seeing more!
I think you’re right to choose this color. It’s the paint of the year for me. Great job and good luck!
Definitely White Wheels, just like 1990’s era Landrovers. Really coming together, top job.
Excellent colour! Really looks first class. Go with white rims.
The new colour looks dope. Can't wait to see more
Thank you so much for following along!
Gun metal, bluey grey colour....absolutely brilliant job guys...well done.....black rims for sure.
Well done team!!!! Black for the wheels, easy to touch up with a rattle can if needed. White would need to be the “right white” to match
Also I would go with a heavy duty black rubber side strips instead of wood, it would last longer and take a better beating
Looks awesome - love it!
good vid on the build of the truck lots bin done on it keep up the good vid thanks lee
WOW....Amazing colour......all that prep paid off
Thanks for watching and commenting David!
Nice progress! Keep up the good work guys :)
Wow, like that colour!! Nice job! Well done!
Thank you so much Joseph!
Looks amazing even down to the decals.wouldnt have expected any less from you both ,especially after the mog build .wow cant beleive that was 3 years ago..I think white ,make the unit stand out a bit . A big hello to Oakley ,wow he is growing .the build is getting exiting ,cant wait for the next vid .stay safe and enjoy
Looks fantastic, good job!
Looks great
Nice music mix when reversing the truck out perfect timing .
Colour looks good. Would look real nice with black tyres and Rims.
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing!
looks epic guys!! what a unique build, soo refreshing and it looks like a beast!!
What a fantastic paint choice, congratulations all your hard work has paid off, it looks great! 😎👌
What a transformation, nice work!
Wow, what a difference for sure! Love it and much easier to see how this is going to come together! Congratulations!
Thank you so much for following along and subscribing Grant!
Congrats guys this really looks amazing!
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing Pietro!
Ivory white, blk wheels, black bumpers and external armor. I'd cage the top with a rack and tent platform along with awnings on the sides and back, call it a 6XPanda 🙂 Very cool truck good luck!
I did my military service using a 13-bil (mortar company year 90/91) It might been a slightly newer model, but it still takes me back in time, //Regards from Sweden
This IS massive! Hard word pays off- congrats!! 💪🏼
About the rims - I simulated it very quickly in PSD. I'd go for white, for the reason you named - it works very well! Black is rather a bit to hard or heavy in my eyes, and more conventional. You probably did these simulations yourself already. Just in case you didn't - I DM you the pics.
Martin you are a legend, thank you! We had done a similar simulation but you did a way better job than me. Now to make a decision... :)
@@TheOutFit 😃
The TGB 13 looks fantastic 🤩👏👏👏
Thank you so much Åke!
Damn what a paint job!!!!!!! Amazing work
Great color choice. Love that you kept the placard holders. I would go for black rims or maybe even a dark silver. Keep up the good work!
Great colour, work and dedication. White wheels classier
Oh wow that color! Nice choice. Congrats!
Love that color guys! Great base color and looks exceptional with all the black accents, add-ons now and future. Black rims for sure.
That’s a great job. Beautiful work.
You could do a lighter or slightly darker version of the grey you’re using now on the rims. White rims get dirty very easily and they also may divert the attention from the rest of the body. Black is very industrial/military looking.
Beautiful 😮 good job 👍
Beau boulot ! Hâte de voir cet engin rouler en liberté. Well done !
Merci Kris! 🙌
Looks so good ! love the colour !
Looks awesome , I like the colors
Looks great. Hopefully not such a big wait for the next one. Cannot wait
The Volvo looks Awesome!! Nice job Chris and Ange!! As for the wheels, I think black would look great!!
Look forward to the remainder of the build!!
Cheers,
Matt:)
Darn, that´s a LOT of work!! Cant wait until you get out on the roads.
Well done
Just found you guys somehow.its Father’s Day so got a whole lot of binge watching to do
My dad's friend had an ex-RAF Defender in a very similar shade of blue. It didn't even have seats in the back, just two wooden benches and a fabric roof
Awesome! Looks cool!
Thank you so much Mitch!
Looks fantastic
That looks Awesome!!!
Luv the colour and what you’ve done. Black rims. Awesome build series, have been following u guys since the old days with the Jeep
I was just getting involved in writing the comment about the wheels on the first colour reveal and as I opened up the process to comment you started talking about it and I definitely definitely think a white colour would be good. It doesn’t matter that it’s an off-road vehicle as most, four-wheel-drive wheels out there come in a white option yes they get muddy but so do the black ones white would look so much better when the truck is clean. It can often be a lot easier to see if you have a leak of any sort a white rim, then it is a black ask me, I know. Outstanding work guys thoroughly enjoy your content.
Superb colour guys, total transformation, keep up the the great work.
Thank you so much for watching James!
looking Good !, Well done
Great work!
Stunning!❤
Good Job!
Excellent job. Looks really good
Thank you so much Alan!
Swedish Army should never have sold these but glad to see someone taking care of them preserving them for the future
What a fabulous job guys- complete transformation 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing!
Great Job Guys Well Done from NZ.
Wow! Love the colour scheme guys, with everything you have done so far changing the wheel colour is not a biggy. Start with white and if you’re not happy you will know that very quickly. 👏👏
I'm pleased you are both happy with the result. It's been a tough time for you all. Personally I'm not a fan of the colours but It's not my vehicle! With any luck the future will be full of adventures.
Looks fantastic! Great to see the progress, including what you can’t see. Black wheels is my vote, easy to touch up scratches. Way to go!👏🏻❤
Looks amazing. Love the blue, love the white roof. Definitely black for the rims
It is a pleasure to watch their videos and their trailers. They are an impressive team!! white rims, you are always in time to paint in black :). I will not tire of repeating it incredible work!! congratulations!!! 😍😍😍
Looks awesome!
Thank you so much Clayton!
Curve ball, I think the wheels would look nice painted a darker brown/bronze colour 👌
It could really set it off especially with the timber side panels and a similar coloured fuel container or storage box on the rear
I like this idea.
It looks like a Land Rover forward control 6x6, I love it, great job! 👍👍👍
looks really good, well done
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing Clayton!
Wow !! Authentic build 🔥🔥🔥like the LED headlights too 🎉
Hey good to see your back on board.
It looks amazing and for me it's BLACK !😊
Looks so good! Nice work. Black wheels
love the colour! looks absolutely awesome! can't wait to see what's next! black or white would both look great!
looks great. go the white wheels.
Great looking paint colours on the build. For my money, I would go for black wheels. Cannot believe what you have been able to accompliish with such a basic workshop and tools. Just shows that true grit and determination to succeed will overcome any obstacles along the way. So pleased for you both. Cannot wait to see the engine/transmission replacement!!
It looks amazing!
Thank you so much!
Oh wow that looks awesome. Good job mate I love it.
Thank you so much Hentie!
