I was ready to upgrade my old cargo carrier system for something much nicer looking with better functionality. So I fabricated a new frame and purchased a large toolbox to use and this was the outcome. Real happy with it! This is the new Abom BBQ camp box.

You just gotta love Abby’s never ending enthusiasm. So uplifting.

@Horus9339 3 месяца назад

Abby is a really wonderful Lady, encouraging, enthusiastic and loving. You are a lucky Man Adam.

@stephengile530 3 месяца назад

I would put a piece of Scotch 130C Linerless rubber splicing tape between the box and frame at the bolt holes to help with keeping any moisture out of the box. Just a thought.

@mrmartin798 3 месяца назад

That might also help mitigate some of the potential for galvanic corrosion between the aluminum and stainless steel.

@ellieprice363 3 месяца назад

Excellent idea. If the carrier is powder coated there should be no galvanic corrosion between the metals. Hopefully Adam will have the frame powder coated as well.

@pakviroti3616 3 месяца назад

If you don't cap (close) the open ends of those tubes, you're inviting wasps to setup house inside. Take it from an old farm boy. Close 'em up.

This was an excellent day. Videos dropped from my three favorite channels (Scrappy Industries, Diesel Creek, and Abom79). Thanks Adam for completing the trifecta! Thanks for helping out, Abby. I'm sure you're exuberance and support are very important for Adam. I really like the new aluminum box, Adam. Nicely done with the mounting. Good to see you put the new Spokane, Washington, USA vice to work a bit. She's a beauty. That welding fixture table is definitely fantastic. Glad to see you're putting it through its paces and it's functioning admirably.

@user-ge6hf2xs4r 3 месяца назад

Maybe plug the ends of the square tubing so they won't rust inside.

@Garth2011 3 месяца назад

Condensation will form.

@ellieprice363 3 месяца назад

Blow some of that expanding insulating foam in there.

Bit of manufacturing today, thats awesome to see :D

@RalphRichards-yn8hy 3 месяца назад

Now I know this is just me but this was one of the best videos that you have had in a long time. Reminded me of the old videos when you were doing what you do best . . . Thanks

@truckindudeglen524 3 месяца назад

That box will definitely keep the rain out but it won't keep out moisture. If there are no vents, condensation will form on the inside. Hot day, cools off at night, lid is closed, moisture will condense on the inside.

@ellieprice363 3 месяца назад

If there’s power at the campsite install a 40 watt incandescent bulb inside the box to keep it warm enough to prevent condensation

@markdavies9912 3 месяца назад

Could’ve just added two more receivers and shared the load across all three. Future proof the system for more load.

@TheRealMotoNut 3 месяца назад

It must be incredibly gratifying to have the tools and skills to make just about anything you want, whenever you want.

@ThomasLips 3 месяца назад

Adam, never take for granted the encouragement of your bride. You are a blessing, Abbey👍👍👍

@jr3628 3 месяца назад

random suggestion, put a few nylon washers under the box in between the frame and the box. this will allow water and dust to drop out the bottom and not get stuck and rot the frame.

@stepanmahalyas2498 3 месяца назад

Good job.and your wife so cool

@misterikkit 3 месяца назад

I love when the mag drill rpm matches the camera frame rate

@GTL77 3 месяца назад

Love the VGG reference and you can’t beat the craigslist rebuild 😂 and over head welding isn’t hard at all! Just think of it as welding flat! Because that’s all it is! Now and open root over head is another story with 7018

@OakesProject 3 месяца назад

Love your videos Abomb. Great shout out to Vice Grip Garage for the rattle can rebuilds. The RU-vid community feeds off itself. It's how you all move forward. Awesome content as always!

@francisschweitzer8431 3 месяца назад

Hey Adam, A seemingly non trivial thing… the forward open ends of the tubes.. will scoop up all the water ( when there is a storm ) as you drive … a couple of rubber plugs Also… the bolts inside the box to hold it on the frame… I hope you used Nylock nuts .. I can’t tell you how many times I have seen storage like this fall off the back of a camper ( I drive a semi ). I have a different sense of things that rattle loose

@CPUDOCTHE1 3 месяца назад

My SIL has a 42' camper that the back bumper slid out to carry bicycles. It had a 250 lb weight limit. We replaced the 1/16" 4:" tube on the back with a 1/4" 4" tube and replaced every thing else with heavier material. He can haul 55 gallons of fuel and a 10 KW generator on it now.

@user-Carl-2964 3 месяца назад

2 suggestions.. drop rubber/ strips on frame before you secure the box to the frame. The rubber/silicon is to prevent steel/ aluminium reaction 😮from rain and/or salt water and to slow the wear from the metal movement. I had it on mine and it lasted years. My friend had none and wore thru holes where the metal sat inside 3 years. On mine, I had brackets to hold ratchet straps (light duty) in place, to secure top while traveling, and to hold items on the top, if needed. Also not a bad idea to add reflectors to the bottom support for improved visibility. Both back and sides.

@mdvener 3 месяца назад

Love Abby's Chuck Taylor Converse high tops. That's all we wore in school many many years ago.

@angelramos-2005 3 месяца назад

Lots of welding.Great upgrading,Adam and Abbie.Three point support much better.Enjoy it.Thank you.

@mfc4591 3 месяца назад

Enjoy your camping. Abbey will find all the stuff easily... No scratches! 😊

@shopdawg3682 3 месяца назад

You got some good help there! God bless ya Abby, I know how us "Metal Heads" can be at times.

@videodistro 3 месяца назад

On the bumber you can also use 2 clamp on receivers 2 feet apart. Then make your custom tray with two hitches, or three if you want to keep a center mount. That will alleviate twisting and provide a stronger connection.

@swittman9123 3 месяца назад

Let Abby paint the hardtail vice sparkly pink!

@MrPGT 3 месяца назад

It isn't "sparkly" or "glitter", it's "METALLIC". That should spin that part past Adam. I don't know how to spin the "pink" part past him, though> Maybe "pale red"?🤣

@transmitterguy478 3 месяца назад

Great job you guys! Adom, you can probably get a mailbox notifier that you can put on that box so when the lid is open it will let you know via Bluetooth or another radio signal. If you're snoozing inside and hear a storm coming you can look at your phone to see if the lid is open. LOL

@ClanChapman 3 месяца назад

Maybe add a simple car door switch to the box latch linkage that will light up on the dash if not locked up. Would probably have to run the circuit through a separate plug unless he had an unused terminal in the regular trailer plug. Heck, come to think about it a third brake light on the back would be a nice feature also!

@dondotson4604 3 месяца назад

This is Don from Oregon. Have you ever been to Oregon? I have watched you for years, and enjoy your videos. If you ever do visit Oregon I would like to show you around and teach you some of the history including Crater Lake. Look it up and let me know. I am retired and don't have room to put you up, but would love to be your guide. Make it in the summer time. Crater Lake is very high and the snow keeps it inaccessible in the winter months.

@marksasahara1115 3 месяца назад

@billikonomou9474 3 месяца назад

@THYKAER 3 месяца назад

I would make 3 recivers on that bumper to keep the box from flexing, nice work 👍

@Garth2011 3 месяца назад

Good design and sturdy which it should be. Nice box too, love the latch they used for the lid.

@jamesacker7343 3 месяца назад

I drilled a hole in the bottom of my receiver hitch and welded a half inch nut over the hole and put a half inch bolt in and tightened it up against the draw bar or my carrier and made it solid as a rock

@wayneclark7048 3 месяца назад

Make sure the box's is water tight. The road way are not dry all the time. 😊

@markholmes2023 3 месяца назад

Adam you need a couple of QRL code stickers affixed to the box to link to the videos to do with the hitch for your Kodiak.

@hfader566 3 месяца назад

Iv'e had Motorhomes, 5th wheels, and 21 foot campers thought the years but I always have one rule. 500 pounds total for everything we bring, including what's in the refrigerator. If something comes in, something else goes out.

@TedRoza 3 месяца назад

G'day Adam. Pity you couldn't keep the original frame, but those are the breaks. The new frame worked out very well. The alloy lockable box is a must when vanning around. Great look & a good video

I enjoyed the comedy along with the video and the things I learned. I didn’t know that you knew Derek but that’s pretty cool Derek from vice grip garage that’s pretty cool well, at least I know somebody else is following his channel as well. Look forward to your next videos that you guys get out I’ve already seen the long-haul now, so I’m looking forward to seeing the one on the antenna, keep up the good work and happy you do a great job on the paint work. Keep up a good job on that as well. 😊😊😊

@greekgods3399 3 месяца назад

@dand5593 3 месяца назад

Looking great! Nice job, no need to go inside to search for smth if you are allready ouside near the grill 👍 Have a great trip!

@markramsell454 3 месяца назад

It's good when you grab the final product and show its structural toughness, you avoid comments from the "it will block the brake lights" crowd. lol Nice job.

@dangraham4130 3 месяца назад

I have to admit, my first thought was that if the box was smooth surfaced instead of diamond plated, you would have more room for travel stickers!🤣 Looks good Adam, a very worthwhile project. Happy Camping!

@stephensilva8130 3 месяца назад

Abby you do excellent job on the camera

@peteengard9966 3 месяца назад

Working on crushers and screening plants. You have to overhead weld. Vertical down I tend to go to fast but my overhead and vertical up is fantastic. It's welding inside chutes is a challenge.

@Bookerb2004 2 месяца назад

its been a bit Adam still loving Everything you Do

@onryboy2264 3 месяца назад

With the welding rods, as long as the seal on the rod holder is good it'll keep the moisture out. But just watch the blonde moment that you don't drop a hot rod in a plastic tube.. Don't ask me how I know.. 😂

@ohhpaul7364 3 месяца назад

Alright, I have one for you if you like. Do you have a trailer plug on the back of the camper? Probably not as it is already a trailer but you can buy or make a harness for one and install it. Then, since you seem concerned about the brake lights, mount either brake lights/turnsignals on the exterior of the box or one of those low profile bars across the box. Run the wires through the tube in the middle and plug in to your harness. No more comments or worries about blocking the lights.

@RimShotWiLLEy 3 месяца назад

@jeremydoblinger3609 3 месяца назад

Great build as always brother.. New shop is great..that table and vise are beautiful!

@klaasbloem 3 месяца назад

Nice job Adam, if it was mine I would have it sandblasted and powdercoated. Rattle can = rust.

@tyeburch4273 3 месяца назад

Love the vice grip reference! “Brannnnn new, lost the reciep”

@michaellee6168 3 месяца назад

You could even use the upright hitch mount and make an extension pole to hold a lantern for use at night. Or maybe a third eye break light mount.

@user-oe3dr9ij8k 3 месяца назад

rather be upside down welding than 18 feet up a wiggly scaffolding. looks good

@jonmcgovern5266 3 месяца назад

Looks really great! Maybe some plastic plugs for the exposed ends of the rectangular tubing. Might save shins bumps.

@wayneclark7048 3 месяца назад

When it comes to welding, there is no such thing as overkill. If you don't, it will brake on you at the wrong time when you need it! 😊

@TexasStormChaser 3 месяца назад

Terry Blacks.... good choice!

@paulteirney3587 3 месяца назад

Hi Adam just one thing I would do to stop water from entry the box from rain when driving is put a rubber strip around the edge of the lid not the box as you with knock it off removing items from the box.

@ClanChapman 3 месяца назад

You must have missed the part where he showed the weather strip in the lid when he did a tour of the box.

@daveash9572 3 месяца назад

I do hope Abi had some eye protection on while filming you doing the welding. Arc eye can happen over someones shoulder too.

@MyLilMule 3 месяца назад

I like that locking pin. But the downside is it can be removed too easily. Instead of a camper, I haul my Jeep on a trailer. I've been out in Moab where guys have had their whole trailer and Jeep stolen off the back of their trucks by removing the hitch. My hitch pin is a lock. Sure, it can still be defeated, but I am going to make the dirtbags work for it. :)

@vijayantgovender2045 3 месяца назад

Adam love the work you have done only thing I would have done is powder coat the frame otherwise I love what you have done watching from South Africa

@WreckDiver99 3 месяца назад

Honestly, cross post this over to your adventure's channel. I'm sure there are people there that would love to see this. Too many buy those super flimsy back carriers and they die inside of a year. A guy enjoyed this one, got me a wobble pop to wet the back neck with while watching this one. I even did the right thing, and ignored the craigslist rebuild, I bet you even lost the receipts!

@dr.feelgood2358 3 месяца назад

looks like you haven't been to the west coast Adam. my home state of Oregon is a great place to visit! tons of natural wonders. great camping.

@LNM0000 3 месяца назад

@davidc7406 3 месяца назад

Very nice job. I would like to see how you mounted that hitch you built. And material you used

@jimhunt5259 3 месяца назад

it;s nice, would be better if it was higher. dip in the road could drag back edge. Really like watching you work

@odiekivarkis8193 3 месяца назад

Hi Adam, I watch your shows all the time and I know you have a good sense of how a structure behaves. The detail of the steel support is very simple and very elegant. If anything I would question about the design would be the strength of the middle connection to the truck. This connection resists the entire load resulting from the weight of the box and the impact that magnifies the load when you hit a bump or a pot hole at some speed. I am sure you considered that and that is why you kept saying that there was only light stuff in the box.
