Auxbeam 12% off Code!: TheShredist
Today we're doing a little project I've been wanting to get to for a while! We're installing a bull bar on my Chevy Astro, Scruffy, with custom fabricated mounts. No one seems to make a bull bar kit for these vans even though they look great on them! And why a bull bar? So we have a place to mount our brand new Auxbeam 9 inch round fog lamps! If there was any question as to being able to see at night before, there definitely isn't now!

That setup looks great! Nice creativity on the mounting for the bill bar and the lights. Might want to aim the LEDs down a bit to reduce the guilt if someone sneaks up on you while you’re using the lights lol

@Wannaridebikes 2 года назад

Add roof rack and custom bike rack in rear on scruffy. It could be even better.

@mrdr89 2 года назад

For some reason I thought Scruffy was dead. Glad to see more content on it.

@TheShredist 2 года назад

Just the winter slump lol. Moving onto the interior shortly!

@deanohit 2 года назад

Damn, your patience at fitting the bumper and bar really paid off, that looks awesome 👌

Very nice. I literally said “wow” out loud when you demonstrated the lights on haha.

They're a bit bright lol

This van keeps getting better and better 👍👍 looking forward to seeing some interior mods.

@Saturdave4 6 месяцев назад

Those lights are very nice and bright! The bull bar looks great as well. Looks awesome.

@mountainsmoore3657 2 года назад

Nice! Apparently RU-vid REALLY thinks that I need an Astro or Safari. These types of videos are popping up like crazy, and of course I watch them. LOL!

@victorjbarker Год назад

Nice work especially with minimal tools and workshop!

@edriley1516 2 года назад

I enjoy your videos. It's very refreshing to see a young fella that still knows how work on things and isn't afraid to get his hands (and everything else) dirty. Your ability to improvise, make do with what you have and think creatively are skills and qualities to be admired.

@victorlopez2143 7 месяцев назад

It's great idea if you have ALL the tools needed - Nice job..

"look factory......kind of.......good enough..." - ah, the sweet sound of seat of the pants engineering rationalization. I know it well. Haha. Project looks great man - really liking how Scruff is coming along!

Nice ride now put a light bar above the gmc logo you can never have too much light

Nice addition. You can cover the cuts of the bumper holes with pinch weld.

@bigsjohnson265 2 года назад

My she beast is going through a massive transformation, she was dark metallic blue but I like flat black so grabbed a roller and rustolium and went to town haha it worked. Been doing everything myself from motor to transmission, body is so banged up. Some weeks are total nightmares. You never know what will break next.

@dynamitecandyman Год назад

i just binged the scruffy series and i need more! looking forward to the next episode

@tomcolquhoun6748 2 года назад

Loving the series and how far it's come Jim, although I think you would have been able to successfully bend your brackets if you hadn't tried to heat them up in the cast iron vice. The large cold metal mass of the vice quickly draws out heat from any clamped metal you are trying to bend. Your blowtorch seems well capable enough!

@TheShredist 2 года назад

That's a great point, I'll give that a try next time, didn't even think of it acting like a heat sink!

@subiemon Год назад

if you get some Mapp gas from the local hardware store it get 4 times hotter that reg propane, makes it some much easier for heating up metal without a oxy acet system.

@corymcmanues7905 2 года назад

That bull bar looks great, It really sets everything off just right. Looking good man!!

@th3R0b0t 2 года назад

I have to give props for the method of attachment. I was concerned you were going to mount the bull bar TOO well, and in the event of a low speed front end collision, the bull bar could do extra damage to the frame if mounted too sternly. But your brackets are easy to reproduce, and they will twist allowing the bull bar to push into the bumper, and honestly, saving you some heartache (In my opinion) of less structural damage to the van. Awesome work, and awesome video.

@billclisham8668 11 месяцев назад

Looks great ! I didn't realize you were from Idaho as well. We are up near CDA.

@jay-quinthunder7967 Год назад

👋😳Really Nice set up 2bad the lights cud not mount in side the open space of that brush guard. Dont bump into Anything!👍😅

@tobyshane7685 Год назад

I just found your van build on RU-vid. It is pretty awesome. I was hoping that you’ll be doing more videos soon. I would really like to see the completed result. Everything’s looking pretty awesome so far. Hope you’re still filming. looking forward to more content.

@ryansantiago941 2 года назад

Add gussets to keep it from wiggling. I own a Jeep I’m planning to diy a bumper so I been gathering ideas along knowledge about gussets and strength. And welding

Nice . I was just looking into putting an old chrome brush guard on my 03 Safari. But I don't think it's going to work and it is Chrome so it's kind of '80s. My shaggy wagon is white also love the video thank you

Love the ideas you come up with ( Talented problem solver). In my 65th year in UK but YOU have inspired me to search out another Chevy Astro AWD and do a small conversion. I did own a conversion van a Starcraft but had to sell it🤧. Keep up the tips and ideas as you go along and thank you regards Steve
