Killed it Nate. Goes to show you don’t need a major production team to put out a TV worthy show. Editing skills are second to none. Best channel on UA-cam.
Thank you very much! 🤘
Watch the hot air venting on the fridge/freezer. Trapping the hot air exhaust around it can kill the efficiency.
Exactly my thoughts when I saw the narrow space the fridge slides in. Wonder if OP has some details about performance in praktice? If it has to work hard you’ll notice a faster batttery drain for example (and hear the compressor running constantly).
Tru-dat. I have a 12-volt compressor setup similar to this one. And, yes... it will build up heat quickly if there is no ventilation.
Super need to add ventilation for your fridge. You'll burn it out in that tight of a cavity. I'd recommend drilling a bunch of holes around where it vents in your wood panels.
Dude you should rearrange your “LAND ROVER” emblems on the hood to read “OVER LAND R”
Brilliant.
☝️☝️☝️☝️On my team for anagrams.
Awesome!
A really tidy install, love the inclusion of the subwoofer and the gullwing windows are cool too.
Some of us really appreciate the inclusion of the speaker box!
Im considering making some sort of modular system with being a dual sub box that that fits behind my 2 door JK backs seat, but then can be removed and storage system installed to same mounting points with a smaller sub and no back seat when i dont have the kids to have max storage to keep tunes going on long trips.
I like it it adds contrast and ties into the raw piece on the rear door
I know you're very skilled but still in awe of how you whip this stuff up and it just works.
I believe actual box volume is less than 0.34 cubic feet incorporating the material thickness at 0.75. You might be missing some low end. Also, next time you build a drawer system (and sub box) consider using Baltic Birch. Lighter, superior with water/moisture, attractive resonant frequencies, not to mention way healthier to work with (no urea-formaldehyde release when cutting). Baltic comes in 5x5’ sheets, fyi. Love the channel! Keep up the awesome work!
I'd love to do my whole build with that but it's hideously expensive here.
Yes, internal volume is .34, too small for the sub.
is that taking into account the speakers volume displacement also?
I waited like a week or two before watching this video because I didn’t think I’d be interested in seeing something like this. It’s not something I’ll ever do myself, as I’m not into overland I g nor would I build something like this. But let me tell you, the craftsmanship and just overall confidence you’ve got in building something like this is insane! Being able to just freestyle and come up with the brilliance you always end up creating is just wild to see. Your level of fabrication is out of this world.
Thank you for the giant compliment! Comments like this make me inspired to keep creating 👊
you waited a week or two but you commented this the same day it was posted?which at this time the video and your comment are a day old..lol what
On non-load bearing sections of the storage area, you can cut holes out of the MDF to save weight. Look at airplane and ship building designs for inspiration. In your Roverlander I'm betting there are a few pounds that could be saved. Very neat design, I love watching these videos.
Topo panel was on point. Perfect inspiration for my sheet metal interior on the camper top. Your work is outstanding and thanks for the great content.
That bead roll was sick!
is never to much when you add your personal touch. leaving the right side open to put longer items is excellent idea. great work
Another thing to consider is Center of Gravity. Keep your heaviest items as low as possible. This tends to be safe for travel and your back when moving and lifting those heavy necessities.
Can't wait to see what you and Brad do.
Quick questions:
1. Venting\cooling for the fridge?
2. Latches for the slide and drawer?
3. Why not do a proper 12v set-up in the wing voids?
My guess would be this was a quick build to accommodate the trip he is currently on with the roverlander. I would assume that he has plans to address the noted issues in future videos. As for the fridge venting my fridge only requires 1/2 inch of air space around it to be fine, and it was ment to be in the back of a truck (63q element arb fridge)
I would add a small lip to the top storage area to help keep any heavier items out of the window. It's easy to say that you don't plan on putting anything heavy up there, but when you run out of other options...
You've quickly become my favorite off-road UA-camr.
Thank you for your hard work and great content.
I would be lying if I said I wasnt jealous of your shop, your rigs, and your talent. well done sir, well done.
Your fabricating skills are another level!
You never cease to amaze me. I made a slider box for my jeep to keep the fridge in. It sure doesn't look anything like yours! Great job.
The Topo map was legit outstanding! Super motivational video. I want to build something. Thanks for setting the bar high.
Thanks man 👍
The topo looks good in there, keeps it from looking like a black hole... Even though you won't be able to see it once you're loaded. And the molle panel would be perfect on the one side! Good shit man, keep it up!
You're simply an artist!
That topo map is so over the top, in the most complementary way possible! I am def going to steal that idea!
Now that the rear hatch window is no longer needed, it looks recessed enough to cover with small item storage or a molle panel.
You beat me to it! Exactly what I was thinking. Perfect for all the random kitchen/cooking items.
Awesome video I will refer my viewers at Rover Dude Adventures.
I am not much of a rock crawler guy, but I sure do dig the vehicle camping while exploring (overlanding) stuff! Glad you and Brad got together so I was able to find the channel!!
Dude I’m so glad I found your personal UA-cam account after you left Bleepin. Your camerawork and your craftsmanship is off the charts. Never stop what you’re doing man!
Dude.....
Thanks so much for posting this vid. I have been looking for a sink water heater combo setup. 😳
Really like your craftsmanship, attention to details. You take pride in your work!
Excellent job!💯👍
I may not have agreed with some of you specific choices, but I admire your work and attention to detail. You did an awesome job and the end product is sick!
Nate, your fabrication imagination is crazy. I understand your process, but you seem to think of everything. and the detail is just out of this world. I know I was just happy to get my Jeep out of the shop and ready to wheel.
Good looking tray for the fridge. Full bottom too adding rigidity. And that Topo graphic! Nice!
Thanks!
Very nice Nate. You’ll quickly find you’re going to want the ability to lock-in and lock-out the fridge on that slide.
For someone that doesn't do a lot of extended 4x4 travel, you killed it! Great build and ideas.
This build Needs a canopy hanging off the back so you can cook in shade! Great video!! Your craftsmanship is remarkable.
I gotta say, MDF is HEAVY. Lol but you’re right, it does make a nice finish. Easy to work with too.
Late here. Nice build. Considering build vs decked storage system. The battery backup is definitely at the heart of build strategy.
The sides where your windows were would be a great place to put your recovery gear. It would make it fast and easy to get to everything you need
Greetings from England, Some great mods you have for your D2 will keep an eye on your channel for new idea's for my own modified Disco 2. subbed
Thank you! Welcome aboard!
Everything you build is so sweet!
The topo panel was awesome. 1 it brightened up the area, 2 added your creativity to it. 3 it's BA. Really looking forward to the video from the trip and probably more excited for the build. Nothing but quality as usual
Great inspiration for my XJ build.
Knocked it out of the park, looks awesome Nate!
Think it's really cool how you anticipate those questions. I heard someone say the other day that the definition of a professional. "Is one who can anticipate results and get them". And I think the facts that you are anticipating those questions to first provide value and second save yourself time really shows you at the top of your game and are going to go places keep up the good work.
MDF looks great and is relatively easy to work with, but don't let that MDF get wet, it will expand faster than I do after a trip to McDonald's!
I thought the very same. I would have added a coat of waterproofing polyurethane before gluing the fabric.
Its also quite heavy compared to other options, I would go with marine ply for something like this
@@MinimaDomum ua-cam.com/video/P4LiZU5VIvg/v-deo.html
Minima Domum weight is a really important factor, and Nate is well aware. He has the skills and equipment to make an aluminum framework, I’m guessing this is a "just get it out there" solution.
MDF is hugely heavy.. omg.. no wonder he's going 1 ton axles.. will need a Cummins 12v next to get it moving
"Dibbs" on Rear Passenger Seat!
I like to FEEL the music!
Great quality videos, Nate. I appreciate your transition into your own channel that is a tad more mature.
Love it! As a former speaker builder, I'd *highly* recommend viewers consider "Baltic Birch" instead of MDF. Pros:: 1) it is lot lighter, 2) it isn't as toxic for your lungs, 3) it is dimensionally stable and there aren't voids in it so you can round over corners and such, 4) should be far better if subjected to moisture but I'd treat either just in case. Cons:: 1) its expensive vs MDF.
And if anyone wants to build their own sub for their truck/car/jeep. I recommend getting up the learning curve with Unibox for Excel (or equiv). If you are building a sealed sub the 'Q' of the sub is the important target, which is most commonly 0.56 or 0.7 depending on what your acoustic goals are. I have no idea which is better in a car, my guess would be 0.56. And all the models for volume are 'inside volumes' so not including the thickness of the walls which is actually significant in the case of small boxes like these but also subtract the volume of the sub driver itself.
Haven’t watched the video all the way through yet but I thought I saw you use MDF. You probably know this but if MDF gets wet, it’s game over for the shelves, so don’t hit too many puddles! Hope this helps someone out there.
Not only that, it's HEAVY.
Birch Plywood is a much better material. Lighter, stronger, and more moisture resistant
Never been a huge fan of the DIscoveries but watching you may be changing my mind.
Incredible work... Birch plywood would have increased strength and dropped weight. Yet it looks incredible! Your creativity always amazes
Awesome! I'm in the midst of coming up with an idea to make a storage area for the back of the LJ that locks with the tail gate. Gonna make a video of it too.
You're quickly earning your Legend status Nate. I really appreciate your design, skills, and attention to details. Keep up the fantastic work...............and give some more love to that J20!
You have a new follower. Great work. The aluminum panel on the back. You should spray the whole thing black, the fine sand it . This way the black stays only on the bead work. Subscribed!
very impressive,awesome build ,factory look
You should add a small fold down table attached to the inside of the rear door. My buddy has one on his JK and it’s works great.
Subscribed! What a talented and creative guy. I live my D2 and will be living my Landy Life vicariously through your channel. Thanks man... More power to you!!
Hi Nate! Think of you kitchen like the one in your hose. Having all the kitchen in one of the goos wing and the kitchen on your rear door make a lot of walking around. The space above the drawer is a good place for that also.
Gotta get that disco up to B.C. and hit up some trails! Looks good
Fantastic work. I'm very jealous
Wow this project turned out really well. I really like how you keep functionality and aesthetics balanced.
Thank you!
Lets see some overlanding trip and fishing footage - great channel
Nice. Inspirational work on the whole system.
Very,very,very,very,very NICE BUILD.....
Looks good the way it is now but you should topo the back door panel to match. Great work, thanks for sharing.
absolutely awesome! i'm sure the topo could be better but it adds a little something to the over all look and really ties in the overland build/theme. well done once again
That Joolca thing looks awesome! I've seen the little shower thing, but never a way to wash dishes with it
Awesome build. Really good ideas. I dig the topo detail.
Nice build, looks professional.
also might need something to keep the drawers from rolling out into the hatch under acceleration or climbing uphill. maybe some neodymium magnets at the back of the rails or a flip up latch in front of the drawer
Awesome set up!!
Nate! your PPE game is on point. Thanks for setting a good example for others
I'm digging it.. looks great to me. Awesome video. Keep them coming
Thanks for all the videos, some great ideas on your channel. I must say in terms of the material used in this video (MDF) it's too heavy for use in a Disco (and most wagons)m the weight of the MDF + fridge slide reduces the vehicles load capacity when GVM is taken into consideration. In any case I do appreciate your video. Not sure if you live in a hot part of the US but the fridge will chew through power without proper venting through the "cabinet". Cheers from Oz
Very good points especially the refrigerator air flow.
Very cool. The first thing I thought of when I saw your carpeted system is that it looks like a sub box. Sure enough you added a sub!
Another great build video . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A.
That topo map was a good idea I like that
Hell yea brother, saw the post on Instagram and couldn't wait for the upload! Thanks Nate, phenomenal work as always 👍🇺🇸🦅
Thanks buddy! 🤘
Always have to watch ASAP. Great content. Really enjoy the pace and style of your videos.
Thanks!
Here in the Great Basin, dust and visibility would make lighter colored carpet a good idea for anyone doing their own builds in this region. Carpet is just so hard to get clean in general, unless the felt used vacuumes up better than other types of cloth coverings. Great Design.
Can’t wait for the 1 ton swap
Hey Nate, checkout Titan drawers. They make similar systems to what you built, might find some ideas to incorporate into this build. I love the shelf storage with the net, great for all the bulky gear.
Great stuff... thanks ! I would suggest to have the cooking gear in the drawer next to the fridge to keep it all in the same place. You could add a folding table on the back of the trunk door... enjoy!
Love it. First time I've seen someone put a sub in their overland system. Brilliant. The topo art thing is cool as crap and a great touch.
Wow! Dude this was really awesome!
As always great craftsmanship, the topo looks good, the slide, and drawer probably need a latching system if not equipped, hate to see the rear door work damaged.
Your video work is getting even better, have fun in California, expect to see some good videos from that trip.
Nice fab skills my man! A bead roller is an art in itself, but you can obviously TIG so I’ll just chalk that up as you expanded your abilities.
Awesome Job, cheerz from south africa
My plan for gull wing windows on a jeep wj is to have air plumbed to them for inflating the tires back up after installing storage. So thats an idea 💡
Nice work. Always love you videos
Thank you!
Awesome work man, great diy work, very practical and great you can change it to suit what ever your going to be doing 👌🏻👌🏻
I just picked up that same fridge. 👍
Thanks again, I like your of explaining things, keep up the good work!
Great video Nate, I am currently browsing different videos of drawer systems. I have a 2007 Chevy 3/4 ton short bed with a work topper. I'm hoping soon to have a plan for the system that will be most efficient, budget friendly, and cosmeticly appeasing. Your videos give me several ideas and also how to incorporate different ideas. Thanks
Suggestion .. once your rig is all loaded and gassed go to a truck scale and get it weighed .. might surprise you!
You are a DIY GOD!
Lol thank you!
MDF is so damn heavy though. Carpet easily hides the imperfections on the surface of cheap plywood, plus you get a ton of weight savings depending on the type. Either way, absolutely killer setup! Love the channel. Keep pumping out the great content!
Hi Nate. good to see you. very good work. you come up with some good ideas. thank you for your X-per tise.
Loving the rover work. Thanks for the update.
