    My only request would be pullup proof in every instance you told us you could 🤣 absolutely stunning job. I knew this would beaRAD build (see what I did there), but had no idea the level of quality you'd be able to produce. This motivates me to start a machine shop! I mean holy cow, endless capabilities. Looking forward to the next one!

    The build quality on this is as nice or nicer than any of the professional conversions/builds I've seen.

      My biggest gripe with a lot of the “professional” builds is how horribly not practical they are. Many lack storage space and accessibility to items.

    Your attention to detail satisfied my ocd. I just love the
    At no inch was wasted and everything was double or triple secured and everything is so tight fitting. No shortcuts were taken and I love it! I hope one day to do the same thing but in my own way.

    Battleborn and Victron FTW! I have a slew of Victron stuff along with two Battleborns in my truck camper.
    Looks like your BBs are the heated versions, which didn't exist when I bought mine back in 2018.

    I like how the strenth of the components are measured by the ability to do pull ups from them... as if you could do that with normal kitchen cabinets

    • @BeRAD
      @BeRAD  Рік тому +4

      Haha a good kitchen cabinet you can! You gotta think, this thing will be getting twisted and slammed down the road for hundreds of thousands of miles…gotta be sturdy!

  • @lawman284

    Frames for the skylights? I'm a lot jealous of the tools you have available and your skill with them. The fit on the hard plastic T-nut was crazy good. Can't wait to see whats next.

    • @BeRAD
      @BeRAD  Рік тому +1

      You got it right! They look soooo good. Holds up the greenhouse panel and trims it out nicely.

  • @johntaylor4517
    @johntaylor4517 Рік тому

    Man your attention to detail is so refreshing to see. So many poorly done builds out there. As a former tool maker turned cabinet maker, I applaud you! It's looking great so far.
    If your door hinges are still too slow for your liking I would shut one of the soft close off. There should be a very small switch/slide that will shut it off. I know Blum products best but generally there is.

    16:48 On many soft-close hinges you can turn the soft-close mechanism on and off. For example, on Blum soft-close hinges there is a little tiny slider bar you can push with a fingernail. If you turn off the soft-close feature on one hinge per door, they will close faster.
    Very cool build. Thanks for sharing!

    • @BeRAD
      @BeRAD  Рік тому

      Yeah I got the cheap one. I don’t believe you can grunt it off. I like the soft close, it’s just a bit slow. I’ve grown used to it.

    @raymondsiewert2720 Рік тому

    Amazing job and video ! Lucky Dad had a machine shop and so many tools to do a professional custom build. 💯😁

    • @BeRAD
      @BeRAD  Рік тому

      It definitely helps in some cases but I assure you, there’s always “another” way to do everything shown. 95% of this build has been done with a cordless skill saw and drill/driver. The frames could easily be outsourced to a lazier cutting shop (which I actually would have done if not for the time constraint). The bed hinge mounts and brackets can be made with a cheap drill press or even a cordless handheld…although I’ve grown up around all the nice equipment, there are many instances I/we have had to use the “primal” tools to get the job done. I have to thank my dad for always teaching me creative techniques to get things done when you don’t have the ideal tool for the job. But yeah, considering I have access to it, I’m sure as hell gonna utilize it 😂

  • @josephridges1619

    Super impressive build man. I hope this doesn't mean you're closing down fantasy land! Wasn't able to make it out last summer sadly, life got in the way and I barely put a couple hours on my new 450R. If you ever need stuff custom designed and 3d printed for the van or some gadget ideas programmed let me know! I don't do it as a business, just love building cool stuff!

      They are not done yet 😊. Well, they are now, but not as the videos show haha. I went with aluminum tabs but I do like the idea of the indents or whatever…maybe next build I’ll do that!

    it might not be the same for you but in the UK a 350 transit has a max weight of 3.5 tons.... I think your work isbeautiful but I m worried abought the weight ! Hope I am wrong ! x

    • @BeRAD
      @BeRAD  Рік тому +1

      It weighed more than 3.5 tons before even starting the build! Haha god bless the USA 🇺🇸

    • @BeRAD
      @BeRAD  Рік тому +1

      You guys must not get the HD here or this wheelbase length of 178”? Of course the box itself weighs a lot. The build is done, it drives great 😊 at the limit of GVWR however, yes.

    BeRAD - gotta love that SPYDER Tarantula blade on your circular saw. Our head product guy is a dirt/trials guy and has been following you for a few years now - he has his second Transit (turbo, AWD) on order. A few years ago, we built a bunch of trials moto ramps: ua-cam.com/video/HeSIAEj8BD8/v-deo.html Thanks for choosing our blade and shopping at Lowe's!

    • @BeRAD
      @BeRAD  Рік тому

      The blade is fantastic!! I was actually having a lot of issues with my 1/2” finished Baltic birch delaminating. Switched to that blade and it did much better! The wood was junk….was still peeling but that’s because they apparently didn’t use enough glue. No fault of the blade!
