    Use some heat shrink tubing to quiet the hook part of the table hooks

    Had a big off just over a week ago and had mangled my hamstring, won’t be back on the bike for a couple of months, so feeling really pissed off…..and then, found your channel!
    I have now got purpose again and it’s keeping me stoked until I’m back on the bike.
    Thanks from Australia👍

    Nice Job Brian. You should spray paint black your rims. I did it with my van, really cheap and gave a really co look. Also some of that tape on the table will help, that way the hook won't mess with your table and the tape will end at the bottom.

    Headlights LED - yes I had to glue them in but that was five years ago and no issues. Nice, bright white LEDs.

    that 3M rubber tape is AWESOME!!!! great for bike protection too, easily molds around curves and really durable and sticky

    Thank you for the video. Love your sense of humor. Would a 30” light bar fit across the brush guard’s cross bar?

  • @twebb726
    @twebb726 Před 2 lety

    Just put your rubber tape on the underside of the table that is rattling so you don't have to use the towels. I use that stuff for weight bench, etc. Works great.

    Mount the button right above the on/off switch for your air compressor. You could drill through the plastic for the gauge and wouldn't be doing anything permanent to the van itself.

  • @arthurlange8817
    @arthurlange8817 Před 2 lety

    Add one of those switches so that you can have a BBC tone in the van for soft lighting.

  • @draffish5661

    Couple pieces of rubber pipe slid over the hooks will help stop the table rattling.

  • @jimlawmtb6892

    Find a piece of rubber fuel line to put over the hooks that hold the table and that should stop rattling and damage

  • @djmer28
    @djmer28 Před rokem

    I wish you would have showed how you installed the upper support. Did you have to drill into the frame or did you use the dowels?

  • @jacobjanuary6666
    @jacobjanuary6666 Před 2 lety

    Looks like you did some garage upgrades as well. Maybe I missed that video a while ago. Anyway, the van looks good.
    P.S. dodge vehicles all have crummy lights.

    Brian, How did you like using the 3 drawer packout for a MTB toolbox? I'm considering buying one myself to replace my smaller craftsman toolbox that I have outgrown. What were some things you didn't like about it? Thank man. Keep up the great content.

    You could put your own brush guard on along with led pods but you cant change your own oil?

  • @shanec.7105
    @shanec.7105 Před 2 lety

    You can do a lot. You'll probably be able to change the oil too. Maybe cheaper. I stopped having oil changed by others because I got fed up with them with false claims of bad drain plugs and them trying to sell me a $5 drain plug scam. Even had this bad person put one qt. and send me down the road. Had a nagging feeling so I checked the dip stick, does not register after oil change. just enough to not have oil pressure light and I'd be broken down with blown engine on a cross country trip.

    Those are illegal in the UK as they kill pedestrians, especially children. Car manufacturers are obligated to design vehicles so the front end absorbs an impact with a pedestrian. You've just removed all those safety features.
    The chances are it won't happen,but if you hit and kill a child,it will haunt you to the grave.

    Even though we realize that you and Sarah got married, it is still strange to hear you say “my wife” when referring to her.

    Pretty tasteless comment about whether or not the brush guard will save you from "any cyclist impacts"... surprised but maybe you've never known anyone hit and killed by an asshole.
