100% Mix and Match between Tourin' and Hard wheelin'. It's very nice to see some hard tracks and some nice "moderate" tracks for us who don't want to do the hard stuff.
Yeah for sure dude, that’s what I was thinking like there’s a lot of cool stuff we go do and see in Tassie and would be cool to share also, it’s just we move pretty quick in the bush so it’s hard to make a coherent video haha, bits here, bits there 👍🏻
Post whatever makes you happy mate. Majority of us probably started following you for the hard wheeling but whatever you put out is an awesome watch my man. Good to see how far you've come. Keep it up we all appreciate it 🤙
Absolutely would love to see touring and camping trips. Its all four wheeling, just different flavours. At the end of the day though, its your channel, post what _you_ enjoy doing!
Hell yeah Timmy!!!! deadset just woke up and all! Can't wait to see how the GU turns out! Thanks for the great content as always Timmy and hope ya have a good one 🫡
You doing a fantastic job on the ute tray buddy. I’m a tradesmen fabricator and I’m enjoy how you’re building your tray and I wish you all the best. It’s looking fantastic and also mix with the touring and the hard wheeling you doing well mate cheers Mark.
💯 want to see some 4x4 touring vids mate. Your channel is awesome, we get builds, tough wheeling, add some touring and camping and it’s an all round wicked experience for sure.
It is very nice to see your precision and the quality of the finished product so far. When sanding the tube joints, I often notice the superficiality with other "fabricators", so I'm very sensitive to it, but you don't have that and I like that. Can't wait the next video of the tray build! ;)
I mean that the joint between the prefabricated bends and the pipe is usually noticed because they are grinding with too rough discs, or they are just sloppy and don't care about the finished look. Then such a joint is visible even when the finished product is already painted. If you do it well, you won't notice that the bend consists of several parts. With you, I notice that you sand nicely, that the things look like they are made of one piece after welding. A lot of "home craftsmen" when they do a bullbar hoops or a roof rack for example, tend to just do it and not look at the aesthetics. And that gets on my nerves :D. Sometimes only a few more minutes spend on a job can separate us from a good finished product ant a bad finished product.
Hey mate. Quick bend tech tip. It’s an amazing program. And doesn’t look like you’re using it to its potential. So two things. Use a plum bob and a straight crack in the concrete. If you can’t use a crack. Use your laser line to make a line on the ground. Use these as datum lines to measure to for your bends and start and end points. Drop your plum bob to the ground this will become your anchored point in bend tech. Then measure front/back, left/right then up from the laser line. That becomes your pick point. Personally you only need the points for the middle section on your tail. And the start points for the outside pieces. The rest you can figure out in bend tech. Use it for your cutting templates as well. You won’t need all that green. And work your way out like you said. It’ll be bang on Secondly. Record your spring back. If you’re a degree out. Put that in your spring back library. And it’ll calibrate bend tech to give more accurate data to calculate your bends. Hope this helps. Any more questions. Let me know. I got you on Snapchat. I’ll make a video explaining it.
Yeah I only just started using it and I’m definitely not using it to its potential, I do my drawing in another program and then just import to bend tech (originally I only meant to draw it in order to see with my eyes what I saw with my brain and to understand where and how everything might land) and then I realised I could export as IGS and import that drawing into bend tech and have it spit out what to do to make these parts.. but yeah I’d love a bit of help in a video if you can be bothered at some stage 🤙🏻
Every video you put up is always worth watching, that tray build is giving me motivation to get back into the G60 patrol im doing. Keep up the awesome content 👍
Hey Timmy, little tip that's helped me like crazy with my pipe fabrication, a cheapy pipe sander from ebay, they set you back about 150, has allowed me to blend in those prefab 90s and all my engine piping in short time compared to the struggle i had with a grinder and flappy disc. love it looks good dude
Oh yeah dead set I bought one once upon a time when I was making the Q tray cause I saw someone using one in the past and the one I got off eBay was dodgy as and the belts it came with fell to bits and I haven’t bothered with another but you’re absolutely right they look perfect for it, Kistler got one recently and it only just reminded me they exist again haha
Mate, ripper channel. Came across it maybe a week or so ago and since then I’ve binge watched every video in order. Your content presentation and delivery is brilliant, informative and you clearly put the work in. Spewin I can’t just click the next one now that I’ve caught up but I look forward to seeing what you upload in the future. On ya Timmy! 🤙🏼
Those that weld all day doing bars that come to them in pieces are probably the ones which would be critical of the way you do things. What I just watched is a true fabricator testing his own abilities and exceeding. Loved it!
Nice work on the tray Timmy. I bet it's super satisfying knowing that you've fabricated every part of it. I'd happily watch pretty much anything you upload, but the most important thing is that you stay true to yourself. I see too many RU-vidrs these days desperately trying to feed the algorithms by posting specific types of content, clickbaity thumbnails and pandering to big sponsors.....and when i start seeing that I'm out.
For sure dude I know what you mean, I tend to just point a camera at what I’m doing anyway, whether people watch it or not. Like I don’t think 24v and High Mounts are massively popular topics but that’s just what we’re into haha. Cheers mate 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Keen to see your idea of touring every one has a slightly different idea of itll be cool too see as much as I enjoy the builds and tuff stuff sometimes those easier tracks have the best hidden getaways.
I'm late to the party but mate you put out top notch content, regardless of what you're focusing on. Personally I enjoy watching your stuff because of your no bullshit approach. Post whatever you're passionate about and you'll capture that audience. Looking forward to the future content 🤙
Awesome looking job you are doing on the tray Tim, I love it 👍 I don't think there's anything wrong with mixing it up a bit and throwing in some casual touring videos to cater for different tastes, I'd watch it.
Personally I enjoy a more “touring” approach. On RU-vid though I really enjoy watching channels like yours Tim as I’m able to live the hard tracks through your videos. I would love some touring videos in the future though. Planning a 2 week trip on Tasmania around may 2025 and would love some destinations.
@@timmyhasheart beach driving, easy to medium tracks and great views is what I’m after. Will be travelling down from cairns and I have nothing planned. Spots all around Tasmania would be unreal.
lots of comments have said bit of both. absolutely the way to go mate. me, i am all bout touring n finding destinations for each trip away. each trip away is 6 months per state per year so i get to c a lot of this great country. 3 states to go then start again to do wat was missed the first time. Tassie is one of the 3 left.
I would be interested in living vicariously through you/with you in most any adventure or build. Doesn’t always have to be gnarly, sometimes….good times are good for many other reasons, if it is always spectacular….you will continually have to top yourself. Keep it broad and varied, so you can do all the thing that interest you, not just one small niche.
Dude that’s such good advice, I don’t know what it is about RU-vid that brings in the competitive part of people’s brains, I don’t even make my income from this it’s just a hobby and like even I have that need to continually top my views and interest etc. it’s pretty toxic really it.. like I dunno how to relax with it and just upload just cause haha
@@timmyhasheart Yeah, that part can eat content creators alive. People come for something that you have done that interests them; a shared interest. They stay because of you. Focus on your interests and the genuine viewers will keep coming back. I like the detailed tech/fab kind of things but since I almost never get to go on adventures (I am farmer so I can’t leave very often) I like to live through others when I can’t do it myself. Honestly, there is videos of every flavor and knowledge at this point, I stick around because you seem like a cool guy that has a lot of similar interests as me. So even if it isn’t 100% my thing I will still watch because it’s like hanging out with someone or doing it myself. It’s why Top Gear worked. You do you. The RU-vid rat race is kind of like competing over who can be more “religious” than the other. Their path is their path, it’s apples to oranges. You do you. That’s what will keep everyone coming back. If you try to be like everyone else, you will be, and that will make your stuff so similar it won’t matter whose content they watch. Just do your thing, glad to be able to tag along. Thanks for taking the time and effort to share! I have been slowly trying to do my own stuff and have succeeded in having a ton of unfinished content. So I can sort of relate and understand the effort you are putting in. Thank you for your hard work!
Thanks mate and yeah that’s what I’m finding, each job I do I get a tiny bit more confident, literally just time and experience and listening to those smarter than me haha
I'm going through a very similar situation with my gu tray and canopy currently, and I have been contemplating having the twin tube headboard and the canopy tuck behind it, and have the part thats tucked behind it contain a thin water tank at the bottom portion and the electrics in the top section. Then when you open it up, its just a seamless canopy wall with all the business tucked behind a removable wall
Yeah absolutely mate cheers haha I do have it in mind while welding, like I point the welder away from the car etc, but yeah this cab is getting a paint job, if it were a lambo or freshly painted I’d absolutely cover it up 🙏🏻
Great vid Timmy, rate the time spent on why you do certain things and sharing the tips you have learnt over the year’s. defiantly chuck up the touring trips as well as your hard wheeling ones mate.
Hey mate, yes missed your Vlog last week but wow do you put out quality stuff. Like always it’s an absolute pleasure watching your channel. The effort and quality is superior. Me like many just love your Vlogs. No bullshit, no blowing wind up yourself but the community supports everything you do and you are easily well well respected around your fellow 4wd community. Like always, ahead of many many Tubers. Thanks for sharing. Ps. Your tray looks sick and it follows your front guard lines, so perfect height.
yerp show your other video mate , we love a good relaxing camp and drive video ,even if not a hard wheeling video (most of us dont do hard driving anyway ) 😁👍 loving the tray build video , looking sweet . keep well mate 😉🍺
Killer looking tray build so far mate and the touring footage at the start looked absolutely epic 👌 I would put the vids up whether it was hardcore tracks or easy touring, we’ll watch it all 👍
Happy to see some "touring" trips. You can always stop posting them if you don't get the viewers after showing a couple. Great job, thanks for sharing Timos
For sure mate, mind you this isn’t a job I don’t rely on big views you know but I also really love it when videos go well. It’s addictive in a way haha.
Would love to see the touring side to mate. I love watching the Hard wheeling but as my Hilux isn’t built for that. It would be great to see your more milder trips for inspiration. The tray looks sweeeet!
Keep your eye out for a coldsaw. So good for cutting mitres and general steel. I got second hand one from a closing sale pretty right. I also bought a clamp which holds different and same size steel at 90 deg. It's pretty clever has a sliding jaw. Was pretty cheap
In one end of your tray mounts of box section to chassis place a piece of flat bar inside on one end so you have access to bolt for removal if broken this will be a strong back never break however may break chassis gen mounts instead just noticed weld heads of bolts so you could plate each end of mount seal weld cheers ray
Another greqt ep mate. As for the touring video idea. If you have time you could perhaps do a midweek release (bonus) ep say. Either way I'll be watching whatever you put out. Cheers and keep up the awesome work!
Na na I’m super proud of what I do, it’s super hard to explain like.. what I mean is it takes me a lot time to do simple tasks and I screw up a lot, but I persist and I’m not lazy and I stick with it until I’m proud of the result. That’s what I mean when I say I’m not competent. So like I can do what I do, but someone couldn’t pay me to do it for them cause I’d waste too much time and material and cost too much haha.
@@timmyhasheart Ahhhh yeah ok I’m with you now, mate that’s similar to what I used to be like with my Cabinetmaking trade. It’s exhausting isn’t it 😆 I can imagine trying to replicate those processes would require an approach like yours though! Nice work 👍
Would be pretty mad to see a bit of touring stuff in between it all. Froth the current content and wealth of knowledge shared with builds and repairs but we all enjoy the cruisy trips too. Keep up the good work champion👌 im taking on my leaky boy injector pump replacement and the timing of it after watching your video on it today. Quietly not confident but hahaha👌👌
@timmyhasheart Thanks man! Sweet I got a Silvertop haha. Watched a few other videos now too and it looks super fiddly and time consuming which I'm okay with, i love to learn. Just mainly worried about dropping the key on the pump gear removal. Is the key sorta stuck in there or quite loose?
