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 🫡
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!
I absolutely could dude, but I might wait a bit longer so I can use them a bunch, but dead set so far they’re all awesome, I gave the drill a hard time in this project so far, holesaws are hard on drills, especially 18v ones and the thing sailed through several 5” holes and several notches which is sending a 40mm holesaw straight through the side of 3mm pipe, the battery grinder is also a monster, I personally think it goes harder than my Milwaukee and I even think it goes harder than my kincrome 240v one. But yeah once I’ve had a chance to abuse them some more I’ll have a chat about them 👊🏻👊🏻
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 🤙🏻
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!
I mean at the end of the day, you gotta do you man, You are obviously the chief of hard 4wding, that's your bread and butter. But I'd for sure watch some toorin mate.
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! 🤙🏼
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 🙏🏻🙏🏻
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
I'm only 8 min in, so this may get covered later on. But your discussion of the exo around the canopy and then the CAD view made me think. You mentioned hinging the center bar so you could open the canopy door. And just having a simple drawer and fridge. But what if the lower portion of the canopy, below the center bar on the exo, was just a drawer? Like, not a drawer inside of the door. Just a drawer that opened in that rectangle of space above the tray and the center exo bar. Then the canopy door was only the upper half above that bar. Only the sloped portion of the canopy.
Yeah that would be cool I know what you mean, I’ve already chosen the canopy I’m getting though so this whole headboard and tray is built to fit that canopy haha. Cheers dude 🙏🏻
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.
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.
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 👍
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.
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 🤙
I’m a marine trimmer and when I make Bimini bow rails (the same shape as your headboard) I start from the centre and bend towards the outside as I find the bends to be slightly different from the left to the right (if you know what I mean), so if you start at one end and work to the other like you have the bends will be slightly odd and not symmetrical, do you find that or are they all good?
Yeah I know exactly what you mean as in the direction that you feed it into the bender matters but technically na it shouldn’t matter if the die is symmetrical and has a continuous CLR, and if I was doing it by just measurement and by eye I would do it that way for sure but I was using software and so I was trialing it, but yeah everyone I know that’s been doing this a while would agree with you they’d work from centres but yeah this software accounts for all grow and shrink values and I do believe with this particular machine and die that the bend will be the same regardless of which end you start from, but what you wouldn’t be able to count on is distance between bends after the bends are done if that makes sense, but these are all measured out before they’re done, and must be pretty spot on cause it landed right on either side of the tray 👍🏻👍🏻
Looks mint mate. Why no under tray draw? Seems like alot of wasted space? I also struggle finding the line between geting it perfect and not wasting hours on something i or anyone else will even notice 😂
I bloody wanted to, I really did, but the rear centre infill ended up too narrow to fit one, but it’ll be a benefit cause I’ll be able to raise the fuel tank a bit and chuck a water tank under there, it’s not as much wasted space as you think cause the entire front half is filled with sub tank, exhaust and 24v batteries, so it’s just the area behind the diff but that’ll get used 🙏🏻
Whats your thoughts on under tray draws? I like them for tools and parts, heavy stuff to keep it low and centred but you don't, what's your thought with that?
Maybe try grind a recess in the RHS with a cutoff wheel before using the bandsaw, let the bandsaw find its way in the groove might make it a bit easier to use
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 👍
Dead set I had that exact idea haha but yeah I didn’t want to because they’re 70mm long and 50mm wide so they would have stuck out too much, so I was gonna do just the front ones and back ones but yeah again looked a bit silly haha. Cheers for the thought mate!
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.
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.
Hey Timmy, love your content and your builds but I have one comment, the volume difference between speaking parts and music makes it hard to watch your videos at night without waking people up haha. I think that you can normalise the volume across the video fairly easily but it depends on your editing software 👌
@@timmyhasheart Hahahaha yeah that's it, I watch on a TV with surround sound and the music is like a rave so I turn it down and then I can't hear you. Like I said though, big fan man keep it up ❤
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.
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?
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!
@@timmyhasheart thanks! We enjoy all your content, touring , hard wheeling and shed. Value your passion and how you present the different content. Keep it up mate
Yeah there has been a little bit going on with it, definitely the most complex one I’ve made. Dunno if I agree with tig welding it though haha, I do tig weld but mig all day long for something like that imo
@@timmyhasheart yeah I don’t mean it’s better to mig, I just mean that’s the next step up of “Fancy” My tray has tig side bars and the tig weld failed (not mine) , dropped me down the side and right over the broken weld and tore my whole knee 10cm open to the gooey bits 😂 So I was glad to see yours had big side bars on the other car .
I actually work full time in computers haha. But yeah by no means am I a great fabricator but I’ve tried to pickup what I can from mates and channels that are
i want to learn to weld. was thinking about doing a night course at tafe. dont really know a better way besides buying a welder and just having a go myself not sure what to do.
Yeah I started out just figuring it out..ish.. like gas mig was very easy to get started and you can pick it up and make it pretty, very very quickly, but then I surrounded myself with good advice and smarter blokes than me and that’s when the learning begins to do things right and make them strong, I still have bad habits but you learn as you go 🤙🏻🤙🏻
@@timmyhasheart thank you. I’m wanting to learn to work and build my car myself. Seeing you explain what you’re doing really helps. Hopefully one day I can build a tray for my car much appreciated keep up the good work you Have already taught me so much about rebuilding winches to building bar work
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.
