One thing I respect about you is you have the money to buy the best of the best . But you know your viewers and most arenât wealthy but love being off-road . You take parts most wouldnât even think of using and make it work . Great job brother
I really appreciate it, man đ. However, I don't have the money to get the best, lol. I do, however, have the leverage to ask companies for the best. But I don't want to use tools or parts that are inaccessible to the average Joe unless I have to. I relate way more to gear heads than influencers because I dug trenches in the rain for a living before this CZcams thing đ. For that reason, I want to always build in a way that your average blue collar dude like me can relate to. Thanks for the positive comment, brother đ. It means more than you know...
@@DirtLifestyle that make 100% sense things are not always as they see on a screen . That shows true character and honesty to your followers keep being yourself donât let them corrupt you .
Digin' the build! Hydrate in the heat and don't stroke out on us đź
I think you may overestimate YT income. My man ain't broke but he's not about to star on Cribs either. Buy some merch if you can and help our boy buy truck parts!
@@DirtLifestyle theres a dana 60, 1650 wide , mm.. i think. its in my h/boy, with a front, cut 3'' h/p. d44 to keep the stock width of a std d44 with 5 stud. not 8 stud. basically a shortened h/d d44 , 8 stud.. the rear d60, needs 4'' , to be same width. 2'' per side.. a d60 can be upgraded to a 70. same housing.. but. the chev diff does the job.. which, we dont have in aus.. we suk in aus.. i used a jeep d44 axle for the shorter d44.. 33.1/4'' ??.. mods are frowned on here.. so i cut my h/boy to swb, h/p.d44 locker, d60 lsd. 5 sp. 351c. 35,s. hitch front rear. . pulled mates 80 series, 95 toyota, out twice with my s/duty.. he,s amazed where this thing goes.. also have a 62 swb f100 4x4. fitted 352 fe..orig v8 292..why block.. has a 9''. think they were still d44 rear.?.its from susanville. ca.. ausie.. [ & a 73 chall 340. to boot..]... as soon as a mech knows you own a 4x4, & are over 50.. the price quadruples.. dont know why..??..
"I hope you enjoyed the video" he says
Brother, you've never made a video that wasn't entertaining, informative or both! It's gonna be an awesome build! I can't wait to see it come together!
Thank you for the huge praise, my friend đ. I'm lucky to have folks like you watching
Glad you are able to get back to weekly videos, I have missed them. That said you take care of you your health is the most important thing
Thank you đ. I'm doing my best lol
I think we're all glad to hear that you should be back to your normal video schedule soon....but i think we're all more happy to hear that you are almost settled into the new property!
Heck yeah I'm so glad I get to be apart of this I get to learn so much thanks for all the time you put in to give us knowledge
I'm very happy that you feel this way đ€. I want to focus a lot more on education and skills moving forward. Hopefully, everyone else feels the same way you do! đ
@DirtLifestyle I believe a majority of the subscribers that have followed you for some years now see that and feel the same as me I'm hoping one day to build something and possibly come on a trip with you all because you only get so many in a lifetime thanks for all the dedication can't wait to see more builds in the perfect shop you have created.
I was driving on my way to church and got the notification of this video release and immediately pulled over to watch itâŠ. Not really but I wanted to so badly.
Lol! The video can wait! But I appreciate the excitement đ
Praise Jeepsus!
Nice
Dude same đ
â@DirtLifestyle Can't wait for the info on your wheels. Running KM3 37x12.50R17 on stock 6" wide steel dual wheels right now that are clearly to narrow for the tires, so I've been looking for an 8" wide solution for 37/38x13.50's that isn't $5,000 Fuels or KMC. Also hate the big wheel/rubberband tire junk so avoiding 20's/22's like the plague. The big duals life is a real challenge.
Itâs nice how you focus on the actual facts instead of your personal opinion which is great for teaching us what you have learned over the years. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, itâs a huge reason why I love this channel.
I really enjoyed watching you build out your shop and improve the driveways, etc. It's life, man. Looking forward to watching the jeep build come together.
Nate gotta take care of yourself man. As cool as the truck is your wife and kids are way cooler. Thanks for making rad videos and walking us through the project!
Thank you đ
Nate, absolutely love your style and willingness to go the extra mile on everything you do, including the extra effort it takes to take us all along the journey with you! Exciting times for you and your family! With that said, maybe not using a quilted welding cap and installing a ceiling fan or two would help keep you cool. Until next time, keep on trucking!đ
Thank you!
The truck is awesome...that shop is downright amazing though. Keep up the grind man.
Thank you!
Growing up as a kid, dad had a 1966 1 ton dually jeep. After a lot of digging, it was an old army ambulance. Local jeep dealer said it was never built. I forgot, it was 4Ă4
Love it and canât wait to see it on the trail. You were right to slow down and not ignore your body. Much rather see an extra video on the build than see a posting of you in the hospital. Much respect!!
Thank you for keeping the bed!!!
Tell me you have a problem without telling me you have a problem: *shows filled truck axle storage rack* đ
Lol bro... the struggle is real đ
Hi Nate! Things are looking good, Man! Looking forward to following along on this truck project! Just make sure to take care of yourself along the way. You're a smart guy. Don't wind up in the hospital or worse.
Heat related injuries are no joke man. Take care of you!
Im loving the J10 Dually build more and more.
Thanks for teaching us about stuff. đ
Feel like a kid on Christmas! Been waiting years for this thing to be built.
I think this is gonna be my favorite build you ever did.
So glad you're going with the truck bed and not a flatbed
Man I love that youre back to building everything instead of buying it. Looking great so far and I love the outside shots, I miss the countryside in the PNW.
Ton of work so far. Take care of yourself so can take care of your family. Nate first. đ
That garage is turning out amazing, Nate. Marvelous work enviroment!
Thank you!
@DirtLifestyle a comfortable work space encourages brilliant ideas. I have a single bay shop that surely limits my creativity. I'm looking forward to see what you build out of the new place. Any update on the Tacoma?
Cant ever get enough of Dirt Lifestyle, keep em coming man. ill soak it all in !
Dirt Reynolds is such a cool truck. I canât wait to see where this build ends up.
A bucket of ice water big enough to lay your hands and forearms in. 5 minutes of submersion then elevate your arms above your head to let the cooled blood flow. You can knock 2 degrees off your body temperature with this.
Dude, you do such a great job filming your craft. Two art forms in one. Keep up the great work. The extra effort does not go un-noticed
Would love to see more about the brakes, master cylinder, hydro, or electronic. Awesome to see the different axle shafts
Hell yeah, love it when one of your vids comes out. I train in 90 plus degree gym all the time, couple that with Southeast NM heat and 20+ bodies punching and wrestling. Heater only goes to 90 weâve gotten it to 94 before. Makes my life easier when working on my 92 Bronco in my driveway. But I also donât cover up like you do when youâre grinding. Just use old FR clothes. Be safe out there and take care of yourself.
Very interesting seeing it come together! Glad the j10 is getting some love finally.
Glad your using the truck bed, itâs going to be a badass truck!
Looks awesome with the bed on it!
A. Youâve brought up what to do with the TJ, keep it the way it is and keep it relatable to the viewers. Not everyone can afford a sema build. We enjoyed seeing you out in something we can relate to.
B. The j10 build is sick to watch, my buddy had one half buried in the ground from sitting that I helped him get running again in a field then he had to move due to bad situations and it disappeared so we live vicariously through you watching this series.
C. Your impeccable knowledge and motivation to take what you have an work with it is commendable and is extremely motivating pressing the people watching to get in their garage and take the rigs they have sitting around and get them back in the woods, keep it relatable like you have been and the following will be consistent. I think you have figured this algorithm out without having to be a âHeY YoUtuBeâ guy lol. Been watching you from the start because you are relatable, donât loose that like the EGO off-road channels have. The decline in their view shows for itself. Job well done Nate.
Psyched about this build-particularly with the bed staying. Itâs going to look awesome
I've been looking forward to this video for 2 weeks! Can't wait for the next one!
Awesome video. I'm so glad everything is coming together with the shop and the build. No worries about the lack of content because this next chapter will be sick! Kudos man!!
I am really enjoying this build. Take care of yourself, you are worth far more than the property, truck, video, etc...
Were way up at 115-118* here in phx. I was out working on installing inner fender liners yesterday. Work for a hr, break, work for an hr, break. I hate the summers here in Az.
U def need a swamp cooler out in that shop!!! Love the vids Nate. â€
Thank you!
Such a great build.
Shop is looking great. I can definitely relate to the heat, I work on Cat heavy equipment and itâs tough. Especially when age starts to show. Only advice I can give you is drink more water and more fans lol. Love the build, you keep giving me more ideas. Great videos.
Thank you for the words of encouragement đ. More fans are on the way đ
I had an idea for the bed where you make it like a k truck bed where it folds out to help get stuff out of the tall bed . Awesome job looking good
So excited about this truck. I have been waiting since you bought it all those years ago. Great work Nate
Already my favorite build of the competition, keep up the hard work!
If you are going to put a shell on the back you can cut the back end off a wagoneer it fits perfectly.
Great work super Nate..! I look forward to the rest of this build ..! Can't wait to see the end result ..!!
Keep up the great work! I look forward to seeing the progress. I know how balancing family, country living projects and shop work gets. Cheers brother
Youâre doing awesome Nate, keep on building đ€đ
Thank you!!!
Love the content, Thank you for the knowledge!
I'm glad you enjoyed it đ€
The newer dodge 2500s has a similar suspension design. I'd recommend getting those coils for the back of the truck. A lot of people swap those coils out. You may be able to snag a set if you find 14+ wagon coils theyll pull about 12" of travel as well.
I hope he does super wide step sliders like this truckâs spiritual cousin, 1950âs Power Wagons.
Dude be careful in this heat it'll sneak up on you as you've discovered! I've been slacking Easter and those liquid iv products to keep hydrated.
Also when it gets hot like this in the pnw my sleep pattern changes and I take a siesta during the hottest parts of the day. Then I end up chipping away on projects in the barn at night when it's a lot cooler.
Another good addition is a mini fridge stocked with cold beverages and get a really comfy canning chair for taking breaks.
Put a QR code up on screen to the votes rolling in.
Not slacking Easter...
Drinking water.
I mean, itâs jeep! Itâs just not THE Jeep đ but I love watching you build literally anything. Thatâs how you know youâre entertaining. Although Iâm a Jeep guy, I like whatever you make!
Great episode. Maybe one of those plastic curtains used in walk-in coolers for your grinding room? I am feeling inspired because I am doing a very similar project right now... Land Cruiser Pickup Cab/Flatbed on a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Chassis. Took 2' out of the frame. Keeping the Cummins/G56 manual. Doing a NWF doubler/205 tcase. Keeping the axles, but going airbags and custom 3 links all the way around. 40" military tires on double beadlocks. Can't wait until the next episode.
High 90's here too, be careful with the heat, it sneeks up on you. Got to think of the family. Building my dream shop now planning on some AC. Keep up the good work even geezers like me can learn something.
Bro, you need a mini-split like one from Airspool. No HVAC tools required to hook the lines up to the unit and you can hook some solar panels up to it for when the sun is shining. Beats boiling your brain out there in a home made pizza oven. Thanks for another great video and try to stay hydrated.
Keep killin' it, Nate. Always enjoy your content and how you explain your decision making.
You are doing a great job balancing moving with making content!
Looking good in the shop; property; always remember nothing is greater than an ideal that's time has come.
Great video! Looking forward to seeing the build process on this one.
I noticed on the last video that you were contemplating bed exhaust options. You should consider routing it into your headache rack. I saw a farm truck on our way to Overland Expo PNW that had done it and thought it was awesome, and I believe it would fit this project so well.
Thanks for the axle shaft comparison, that was interesting. Sounds like a solid plan for the rear suspension. Air bags would be nice so you can soften the rear when not fully loaded - might not be in the budget now, but maybe make space to add them in the future? Oh, pull those blackberries (roots and all!) that are up against the shop now, before they get any bigger! I ignored some on the back of my shop and then I had to deal with the 10' vine that grew up through the corrugation and into my shop's interior...
Air bags are definitely on the "wants" list! They would be perfect for this truck. We will see how these springs perform...
For that grinding room you should throw up a strip door they use for big industrial refrigerators/freezers then add blower motor to a vent from a cannabis grow. You'll get proper ventilation with that setup.
You are such a smart resourceful human , always making honest helpful videos that I enjoy watching every week. Thank you for all your hard work, much respect. Thanks buddy keep it up ,oh and your yard and shop look mint good workđ
so good... always makes me want to get in the garage and start making stuff!
Well done video again. Cheers
hey take care of yourself... keep cool, stay hydrated...
slow and steady wins the race...
but the shop looks great, and very cool project.
Love watching your cinematic style videos. Informational and entertaining. Good job putting out quality content!
Thank you for sharing, always informative and intriguing đ
Iâd go with the stock bed. Love the look.
Hoping we get to see some more videos on the Suzuki soon!
Dude!!! Will!! I guess I'll have to make time to watch this cool j 4x4 come about!!! âïž
Add some mini splits to that space. I know it will not be efficient, but you will only use it when you're doing stuff for which you need PPE. I added one to my garage, and it made such a difference in my capabilities at 60 years old.
As someone who does a watered down version of what youre doing at 40, in AZ, outside when its 118 degrees... Id recommend getting some electrolyte pills heavy in potassium if youre trying to avoid a massive coronary and maintain your workflow.
Lovin watching this build man but good call on taking it easy in the heat. Health comes first take care of yourself man and stay hydrated
Whoa...lets talk about that axle rack in the barn. Damn thats a great idea.
JEEP TRUCK!!
Love this truck and seeing it grow up
The perfect amount of explanation.
I am stoked you went with a 14bolt on this build because I have also got a 14 bolt in a storage unit waiting to be fabbed up and installed on my 92 4runner. This build will be a big inspiration for mine. Awesome video as always!
this was a super infotastic vid with all that axle spec stuff. i hope ur next videos are longer bruh this project is freaking sick
So pumped for this build. đ
You are creating a dream into reality brother đ€đœ itâs going to be badass đ„đ„đ„
Says he needs to stay cool... immediately goes upstairs đ
stay hydrated, get some fans and AC the garage. i just put a mini split in my garage and loovvve it!
Hook a brake line with a schrader on the other end to your caliper. Fill with shop air to it to hold it to the rotor. Tap it around to center it in all directions to get your tabs tached and welded.
NATE!! Invest in a Port-a-cool fan that can push air around in there. It will change your life before you install central air lol.
Dude, you GOTTA take care of yourself! Don't push too hard. Hydrate, maybe get sponsored by a company that has mini-splits. haha
Rock on brother, be safe!
Hey @dirtlifestylenate, I saw you rolling through Redmond, OR the week before last! I was driving a big red Peterbilt boom truck and tooted the air horn at you and waved. I felt like I met a celebrity, I was super stoked to see you, your 3/4 ton Dodge tow pig, and the Land Rover.
Keep doing what you do brother, youâre living our dreams.
-Another long term fan. (Tomas)
Heck of an intro!
Thank you! I was hoping someone would think it's cool đ
It's hot for us Washington's get some pedialyte.
Iâm excited to see youâre back to working on the truck and keeping the jeep bed. Also, the property has came a long way in a short amount of time. Can we get a property update video.
One thing other then axle size is the shaft ability to twist. The stock 14 bolt shaft has a crazy amount of twist. I believe it was Steve at ORD that had a shaft that had a line painted on it. They took the shaft out and it had 3 full twists and never broke. I have never broke or replaced the shafts in my buggy. It was built back in 2012 and does most of the hardest trails in western slope of CO and Moab.
Great work, always a pleasure to watch a craftsman. I would be interested in seeing updates to your property, good work is always a pleasure to watch, and could fill the gaps in content distribution. Either way, getting after it!
Also, few 5 gallon buckets/ old-cooler as DIY swamp coolers could help in your fab room? Not sure if you you have HVAC plans for your shop but safety is #1, as you acknowledged.
Nate, I love all your builds and the research you put into them, then so clearly explain for the rest of us. Take care of yourself, so you can keep on building and keep on caring for that family of yours. Need to get you some cooling options for that shop.
So stoked for this build! As a South African now living in the states, all these Dana axles, 1 tons etc are all new to me so the info youâre sharing is đ
Take care of yourself man! Looking forward to the regular videos again and seeing the shop morph even more! Youâre doing a killer job!
you are an artist. i enjoy how you can visualize and build upon whatever you are doing as you go. i also like how you will chuck something that is not going optimally and begin again. inspiring, strong work. you are a good solid reference for anyone who wants to fabricate or modify. not many others will explain their choices in such detail and back up their words. no, this is not a love letter :D good job, dude!
Lol wow! Thank you for the huge compliment đ
You may want airbags to back up that spring. I'm doing something similar and am considering putting f350 springs inside the ram 3500 springs to handle the weight.
Awesome build!
HYDRATE. Get a camelback!
Im so glad you went out on your own and started your own channel. Your channel is my favorite offroad fab channel. Love the new place and shop and all!
Great catching up with ya at OE. The new shop is looking so awesome. Glad to see some progress on the dually!
I'm gonna get my truck stuck on purpose. So you have to come rescue me in that thing. đđđđ
Lol
