How about the 3rd brake light? No tickets for that yet? And the shoulder seatbelt? Did you do anything about that? Thanks for the video. I wish they made options for the windows like canvas pop up truck campers. Ex. Mesh (mosquito)screens, blackout screens, these options attached by zippers, for camping.
no tickets yet. small town where there's not enough PD to chase stuff like that. I've done nothing for the shoulder seatbelt since I've never had more than one passenger.
Just want to say thank you so much for helping me save $400!!🙏🏾 such a simple design that looks and works amazing!!! I stained everything black you can’t even tell it’s wood
@@Kevinbaconator_ was at the storage facility today (former 2 stall house barn) have to work on getting it cleaned up and see if it's feasible to store there. Should be able to store hardtop in rafters or one of the stalls. Also need to work on the rodent problem. And coincidentally my AC just stopped working so I can really justify a soft top if I can't or don't fix.
this is literally what happened to me with the AC and how i store mine. I throw a cover over it, unplug the battery and fill it with dryer sheets and put a million moth balls around it
@Kevinbaconator_ left monitor I got lucky lined it up perfectly with the adjustability of the arms. Right side was about an inch lower then my middle monitor and had to move it lol. But still got them all lined up. Thanks again for this video saved me hundreds man 👍
Hey KevinBaconator_ this looks sick. I am worried about whether or not ill have to spread the legs farther apart. Im planning on using 3 34 inch flat ultra wides. Do you think i would need to do that or any other kind of adjustment?
it would probably need to be a little wider. I can't say how much without the brackets, monitor, arms and such. My suggestion would be to make it like 1' wider, set it up at the angle you'd like & install monitors, and see how much extra gap you have in the frame. Measure that gap and remove it from width. it really shouldn't take that much extra time. You can always cut the wood shorter, but you can't make it longer.
Thanks for advice, i went ahead and built it, adding about 8 inches to the width. It came out great, i only have the one monitor at the moment but i have enough space to fit in the wood for the other two monitors. I am curious though, i noticed on your channel that you built a wooden cockpit. I built mine the same day i built this. Do you use a DD drive wheel on your set up? And if so os there any flex on the wooden cockpit?@@Kevinbaconator_
Hey man you made this video perfectly and thank you for making it. I’m looking to get one this summer but I’m waiting until i get a roll cage installed for my daughter and passengers. It’s going to have a seatbelt bung to attach the left and right passenger seatbelts up top. Anyway I see that doing this can be a pain and it will be even harder having to dodge the bars. But it’s nice to see someone making a video for the 5th gen broncos. I’ll make sure to check out your installation video when I make the jump this summer. Great video.
They're in there loose. The weight of the monitor wedges them in though, so it doesn't move. Then when you want to adjust, you lift up on the monitor to take the weight off and the arms move easily, for adjustment of angles and length
I think it would work with 32s as is, but the arms maybe need to be a few inches longer. If not, the distance between the legs would need to be a little larger to allow the 45 degree angle arms to get around the middle monitor
Great video. Did u have trouble getting both corners snaps in? ( the Corner closet to the door handle) I couldn't get one snap on each side in. Also did u do anything about the gray weatherstripping sticking out.. my bronco is black and it's super visible. T.i.a
i did not do anything about the weather stripping. just got used to it. I didn't have any issue with those snaps. the ones closest to the tailgate are my tough spots.
Hey Kev, thanks for the video and the design. Maybe I missed it, but how did you fix the arms into the cross beams and decide on and confirm the angle of them? I've seen most people recommend using 60deg for the angle. Just interested how you placed them identically, so they were even on each side.
They aren't fixed. The arms are held in by friction. The gap They slide in is maybe an 1/8" larger than the arms are, so without any weight, you can slide them in no problem. Once you add the monitor weight, the arms want to tip forward a little, so they wedge themselves in the opening and don't move. So as Long as you lift up on the monitors (this takes the weight off the arms), you can adjust the angle and position of them at any time.
@@Kevinbaconator_ right, got it. Good to know they are sturdy enough to not have to get fixed in place but still be adjustable. This should be a good holiday project along with mounting a bass shaker to my pedal tray!
I did not own a laser at the time of this video. Would likely up the budget, but would certainly work much better for setting the mounts if people have one available
@@Kevinbaconator_ I’m a carpenter. What you did is probably good enough but just a thought. Def would up the budget. I wouldn’t buy one just for this application.
Love to see this today. I can always tell (as a general contractor for 30 years +) when someone is smart but has zero experience actually building things. Update for 2024 ?
@@Kevinbaconator_ just came across your video as i was thinking of doing something similar instead of $500 trak racer stand! im sure i can adjust for 3 43" monitors
Honestly, the show introduced me to reading the books, which made me fall in love with Rand, the Dragon Reborn, the Champion of the Light. So, I understand now why those book readers whose favorite character is Rand are frustrated with the show. And yeah, I'm no longer enjoying the show. I'm even okay with it being canceled.
hand on blade for extra power in a stab is an actual medival technique, and its a good way to give him the Heron Mark. I agree the end is weak. I wish Ishy faught back against him
Can the hard top be put back on with the soft top hardware still attached or do you have to remove all the rails every time you want to put the hard top back on? Thanks!
Kinda confused as to what this is. Because the first few minutes were a reaction as if that's a snippet of what we were going to see. But as I scrub through it's like you're explaining what the scene is, instead of reacting to it. Guess it's more of a review?
Ishamael isn't likely using his full power at the start of the fight. When he starts trying harder huge holes are ripped in Egwene's shield and she is barely holding him off. Then Perrin joins in with the shield Gaidal Cain gave him and they seem to be holding him off pretty easily. The shield is still sitting on the top of the tower after the heroes of the horn fade out so I think maybe this shield will end up being something more than just a shield. I think they have revealed enough darkfriends that maybe show watchers are getting a bit of darkfriend overload. I think that is why one of the changes you didn't like happened. They also maybe don't want show watchers to know the punch line of that story line yet because it changes the meaning of what a darkfriend is and is not. Also I don't think Moiraine made that dragon. She sends out 4 normal looking weaves and then the huge ball of fire comes out and absorbs them. I think there will be more to that scene. I also think her speech and attacking the boats will be a nod to the Dragon breaking all oaths, basically the oaths don't fully apply when he is part of things. I think Rafe is the weakest writer and I do agree it showed some in this episode.
Ishamael isn't whittling, he is shaving bits off of some sort of bark or stalk into the tea. Mat does mention him whittling so there is a reason people assume that is what he is doing. I think the whole Moiraine lost her powers and Lan figures out what is going on (which he is doing in earlier episodes too) was just a way to keep these actors busy. They don't do much in this part of the book but they were necessary in season 1 and key going forward. They can't just not give them screen time as actors leave shows when you do that to them. So they needed something for them to do and came up with this mediocre story arc for them.
He pulled an Indy! This way makes more sense to me than the book scene, considering Turak had been a blademaster for decades likely, and Rand had only been practicing for a few months.
Sigh. Did any of these writers even read the books? Clearly not based on their choices. They have deviated so far from the core plots of the characters as to make them barely recognizable in some cases. Complete inconsistencies with their own magic rules they set up that are not in the books. They broke the canon and lore day one and don't care how far they go from it. Everytime its Rand's moment, its given to Egwene. How stupid was the plot they never pay off of Nyneave and Elyane, getting ready to break in to save Egwene, thats from the books, ok cool, they they drop it and make Nynaeve useless when she is the super healer. She can't channel? Why not? In the show they establish fear or anger will get her going and in the middle of the battle, danger all around, her friend is in agony, can't heal her, then Rand is dying, nope can't heal him either. The contradictions in this series make me think the writers really have no idea what they are doing. This finale is just as bad as season one for different reasons.
Your 100 percent spot on and I'll add to your statement. First now that Ishamael has broken all the seals not only are the rest of the forsaken free, he has released the Darkone from his prison so at this point is it game over for the Light? Second how can Moiraine use the one power as a weapon against the Sul'dam on the boats, they are not shadow span and they are not directly putting her or Lan in danger, the three oaths will not allow it. And Matt can tie a knot like you wouldn't believe, not going to try to explain that BS, common sense is not these writers forte.
The collar scene was brilliant in a couple of ways. First because it really shows Egwene already thinking like an aes sedai. The collar works by reading intent. She can put it on Renna because she doesn't intend it to do harm. Second note how she picks Renna up. She should not be able to do that. Except she isn't picking Renna up to harm her, she is hanging a garment. It's about frame of mind. Brilliant.
@@alananimus9145 Yep, it's all unclear. For example, putting the necklace on her, I saw it as all the rules were "a damane cannot hurt her sul'dam". At that point she's realized and fully felt that Renna is not a Sul'dam, she is a damane, so instead of "a dog cannot bite its master", it became "a dog can bite a dog" in her mind. She's free to put the collar on her because she's just putting a collar on a dog just like her. But Renna cannot accept it, she is wearing an a'dam and it works, so Egwene IS her Sul'dam to her. Because Egwene is free of the lie she can act, but because Renna can't accept the truth she can't. Loved the episode.
I read somewhere that she had a theory that they could channel, and her putting the collar on Renna was her way of testing that theory, so she didn't ahve the intent fo harm in that moment, jsut to test a theory. That makes sense to me
Channeling distances are a personal limitation that you impose on yourself. Once you lock it into your head thats all you can do. I have to assume Moiraine doing all thaf buildup was partly to gain power but also to work herself into shooting that far.
Mat is never explicitly referred to as a hero of the horn in the books but the heroes do recognize him from his past lives so it's not much of a stretch to call him a hero of the horn. It works for me. All in all I loved this episode! Ishi getting stabbed didn't feel like giving up it felt like Rand powering through his defences with the help of his friends. I like the way they worked together to beat him. Egwene didn't really fight him just held him off long enough for Rand to get back his equalibrium.
You guys are too easily entertained. This was a huge cop out. Like, he only had one lesson from Logain and was getting oneshotted in the episode before this by the Amyrlin and now he knows how to do precise stuff like this? The director of this scene dropped the ball big time.
As opposed to training with the sword for a few months at best and then somehow beating a Blademaster that has decades of experience? Besides, he's already had practice killing with the power before.
definitely a huge improvement, there's a few questions I have on how things will play into season 3 being the Shadow Risings Plot but we'll have to wait and see
I'm in about the same boat as you are. I really enjoyed the Finale and this season in general. This season is at least 2 notches above season 1. Ok first off, I had the first 2 books tossed to me by a friend and then I had to wait about a month before book 3 was released so yeah since 1991 and I have reread the series at least 10 times as well as audio books listens. Anywho, with that out of the way I will say I have no issue with changes that stay in the spirit of the character, keep their reasons and destination on track. Ok some things I also found weird but with possible explainations... *Moiraine's power levels...I have a funny feeling she still has that an'greal from season 1 *Moiraine's ability to channel at long distance...in the books it was explained that a channelers inability to channel to their line of sight was a self imposed mental restriction no different really than some channelers being unable to channel without using their hands. *Egwene being able to channel while still collared...possibly the collars cancel each other and the more dominant channeler has the control? All I could think of. Basically I liked the scene and result so much, I am willing to roll with it lol *Perrin using the shield to help Egwene...it's not a regular shield, it's Uno and it was still on the tower top in plain view after the heroes left. Let's see if it's a thing next season. *Moggy able to stand up to Lanfear...this one is obvious, she set a trap/web for her. I think most book readers understood this but if you pay close attention to the lighting during that scene you will see that Moggy had the whole room wired so to speak and she didn't dare turn her back as she left. *Rand killing Lord Turok with those weaves...Rand constantly used weaves through out the books that he had idea how he did it, they just came to him and felt right so I'm perfectly fine with that particular scene. If anything, as you mentioned, how he beat Turok in the books was out of place and it would've been even worse if they tried to do it in the show. Now for things that I can't roll with... *I agree there shouldn't have been any way short of burning herself out, that Egwene should've been able to hold off Ishy for any where close to as long as she did. The way and length it played out that's literally Nyneave level and we were told straight out early in the season during the water cleansing thing in the kitchen that Nyn is 10x Egwene's strength. *Elayne being able to heal Rand...I know they wanted to make his and her first meeting mean something but that was not something she should've been even close to being able to do. Ok now some comments...I hear you on the Dragon weave thing, it felt a little cheesy...until I thought about the book version and realised very quickly if they tried to do it the same, it would've been many times more cheesy on screen so I will throw a pass on that one lol As far as Mat's memories go, I called it that they would use the sounding of the Horn to trigger, at the very least, his initial memories and I made that call immediately after the Tea scene that I never thought for one second was anything other than another Ishy trick. Sometimes one has to remind people that Mat had 2 instances where he gained memories not his own, not just one and that Mat was 100% fluent in the Old Tongue without even realizing it before he ever stepped through either Doorway 😉 Anywho, sorry for the book but your reaction and thoughts good and bad have been the closest to my own so far so I had to throw a lot out there. Good stuff man!
read the whole thing and it's nice to have people leaving level headed responses on how they feel about things. I've definitely come around to the dragon in the sky, and Moiraine still having the sa'angreal on her would make tons of sense so I hope that's true. Rand's wound I'm guessing will not be "healed" properly but was still quite the feet for elayne to try and heal it. Hope we get reactions from other sisters trying to heal it....Unfortunately rand's wound isn't any more special than Loial's in s01, which was healed. Great feedback, Thank you!
@@Kevinbaconator_ Well the way I look at it is the show is not just for us readers, it's for new non-readers too. Also, it needs to be or try to be good tv. The Egwene getting out of the a'dam scene is a perfect example of possible wonky mechanics but the result and the emotional release made for some great TV. All I know so far is every non-reader reaction I have watched so far has been them freaking out for most of the episode so that's a good sign. As far as reasonable feedback...yeah, it's an issue. Far too many readers that can't handle even the slightest changes and go apesh!t. The same thing happened to Sanderson writing the last 3 books. There was an small but extremely "loud" section of the fandom that flooded and firebombed every outlet with extreme critiques and general hate really. There was no reasoning with them either and anytime you tried the outlet/forum thread you were debating on usually got shut down/closed within an hour as it they would instantly start with personal attacks the second you debunked one of their points or pointed out their irrational takes as just that.
I went for the 30 by 60 aluminium profile and pivot brackets, vesa mount and used steal cables and pully's to connect to the seiling.. looks very clean and cost around 100 euro to and can put the screen exactly between the wheelbase and wheel and pull them up if needed
thats actually an incredibly interesting idea...I own my home now and would love to cut down on the floor space my rig takes up. I may try the same but connected to the wall up higher with tensioned wires to cancel out moment.
interesting thought, they would have to have intentionally hidden her weaves from us which would be a choice, and I wonder about the rogue damane left around the city sensing her.
Moiraine forms 4 small weaves and then sends them towards the tower and then a giant weave much bigger than anything she has ever made shoots out from the are of the boats and forms into the actual dragon. You can read this as her pulling fire out of the burning ships or it could be someone else doing it.
My only single gripe for finale is Nynaeve sitting staring at the arrow in Elayne's leg for what felt like forever lol. Though she just lost a damane which she would feel the death, almost like a warder bond etc... but it felt way too long.
feels like those two had a lot less to accomplish in this episode than others, and they were just trying to sponge up screen time. I didn't mind it tbh.
