The number of us who are poised on a Saturday to watch the vid drop is testament to your hard ( and entertaining) work. Love it the Pinz is looking totally awesome
@@morkovija I'm not big on social media (or in real life). I do enjoy leaving positive messages about people who make my everyday life more bearable, though.
Trust me, I’ve watched THOUSANDS of build videos. You’ve got the process just right. Entertaining, informative and I never fast forward or skip. I can’t think of another channel I can say that about. See you next Saturday. Same time again
You guys are now light years ahead of any other van building you tube channel!! I really hope you make sooo much money that jon can buy as many bikinis and dresses as he could possibly dream of! Jess you are a class act! Thanks for the entertainment
I don't know why I'm amazed at how well you can turn your hand to everything you are doing, you always make it look easy and your workshop always looks so neat and tidy.
25 minutes of you guys just isn’t enough 😊 great episode. You guys are a great team. I love how simplistic you make each job look. Have a great week ❤️
WOW this build has been loads of fun to watch . Very informative , and the fantastic ideas you two have come up with for this build are amazing . Love how the pop top tent is coming along . And How in your building of your rigs little things like being able to change out the canvas at a later date , shows great thought of long life for your rig , 😎cheers to the awesome well thought out build of this rig . ( and in that older skit I see John had not gotten to his bikini wherein stage of his cross dressing career yet ) 😂🤣 . Loven your twos videos very much . ( OH AND JUST GOT TO LOVE THOSE SHOTS OF THE LANDY ) 😎 . Cheers to another awesome video . Thanks again from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) 🍻👍🏼😁 🐕:) oh and the dogs help as well 👍🏼😁
The entertainment and production quality is always top notch . A bigger shout out is for the design and engineering / fabrication skills shown every episode. As ever I'm looking forward to the next one. 😁
Another brilliant installment. I'm always amazed at how talented you both are. Every time you fabricate something and it fits first time my son and I debate what a massive muck up we would make of it lol. Sad when the video ends every week. It's our Saturday routine now. We're away next weekend but will still be watching with a cuppa!
I am in awe of you two. Seriously impressed with your skills. The fabrication of those belly boxes just blew me away. Guys, you're rocking it. Can't wait to see the finished article 🤩
Ahhh John, The General was RIGHT, it’s knowing something inside AND out! Inside out might refer to a T-shirt being worn improperly where it’s “inside out”.. but The General takes this one. Awesome job on those boxes 👏🏾 love watching this build come along. Hopefully one day I can build up my vehicles like you both!
I Know i jest alot but i have to say you guys are natures best teachers , you guys put in a lot of effort and time, and deserve the love back you both pump out 😘🥰
I've always said inside And out. The Pinz is looking great, and I like the way you give credit to other channels for where some of your ideas come from. Keep the videos coming, they are one of the highlights of my week.
The alarm goes off and its Saturday morning, No time to stay in bed yawning... Down the stairs and the tele goes on, its time for another great video from Jess and Jon. Look over there, its Jess with her awesome guns and then there's Jon with his witty puns. Today Big Red is getting a spanking new ally top, all made with a lovely bit of kit in the workshop! A bit of cutting, a weld here and there and a swanky storage box appears from nowhere. A length of rubber soon forms a seal and another storage box is fixed over the rear wheel. The fire truck is no more, its now a camper 'to be sure'. But there's still a lot of work for our intrepid duo to complete, which is fantastic because it means another video is coming next week.
Transforming this rare vehicle into an expedition camper is nothing short of remarkable! Your innovative approach and dedication to repurposing it for new adventures showcase both your creativity and resourcefulness. It’s inspiring to see such a unique project come to life. And I am Floating Village Life.
Once again this series has become more epic. I love all the recovered metal and the roof is amazing. Where are you going with this thing? It’s going to be unstoppable. 😊
Wow wow wow, guys your skills are another level, those belly boxes were amazing. My Saturday morning routine consists of donning the fireman outfit, kissing the guns, and settling down to watch your builds. Only 6 days 18 hours to wait for the next vid. You are both amazing. ❤❤❤
The aluminium storage you built in behind the wheels are great. Piece of advice only if you wanted... Cover a rubber pad all over of your aluminum storage to avoid rust from a splash of mud and water of your big tires. Take care always and stay safe ❤
I'm always impressed by Jon's fabricating skills, but these belly lockers have been the best thing I've seen you do! Love the videos, keep it up guys 🙌
I always love “The Generals” hair style’s .. and love John’s haircut in this one.. and of course love watching everything you do… (Thanks for educating the septics on the PRAWN on the barbie) 👍🦘🇦🇺❤️🦐
Another cracking weeks progress you've both made. Fantastic solution and location for the historic water inlet connection to show off pride and place. Can't wait to see the powder coated roof come back and fitted. Enjoy your weekend
Hi guys, I found you by accident...I was looking at Australian wildlife and asked Google to "show me random Aussie birds"....and guess who came up😁. Seriously I am an old git who is an engineer ( race cars mostly) that has been bestowing the virtues of vans since the end of the seventies. My first was a mini van conversion ( good job I was single!) I have built several vans over the decades and it's great to see a lot of my ideas coming to life in your hands. I love the presentation style and the lesbian dino really let me know that we are on the same page🤣 I will be watching with interest and if I can help out with advice and suggestions I will happy to do so. I am not massively into "online" but you two have me hooked....good on yer!
Think you ought to name it crafty Saturday as each week you guys build something more amazing than the week before. It coming along great and looks so cool.
Regarding the heater, the intake also needs to be ducted into the cabin, otherwise the heater is always warming ambient air. It should recirculate the air in the cabin. (We’re autoterm dealers) Loving the build on this, I keep saying to the wife, look look ! how quick Jess has learned to weld!! 😂
😂😂 cheers mate, oh really, see I looked into this, as I thought the same and especially when we went to the arctic I thought it would be much better but I heard that if u do it that way it crates a lot of condensation inside
As soon as Jess said "I nearly went down then" I just knew something was coming from Jon🤣🤣 There you go Jon, there's another joke in there for you....I threw you a line🤣🤣🤣 Yet another brilliant & informative vlog. You guys are so inventive & work great together. You are so lucky to have found each other & love the chemistry & banter between you both🥰🥰
I have to say I'm lost today as my mum passed away today and watching your video made me forget for alittle bit. Thank you both for the videos truly genuine folks.
What a lovely job on the roof guys. That roof rack, strong too, hey Jess! Those VIOFO cams are a good bit of kit for the car. I've had one for about 10 years now. It's happily survived the scorching heat here in Western Australia.
Really enjoying watching Big Red transformation. This week has been fascinating to watch, how you work everything out etc. Thanks muchly and good luck "Inside and Out" 😂
Another great video. Making the belly boxes from the roof storage boxes was ingenious. Also designing them yourself, is great. This build must be the most complex you have done. Nice to see Brian.
Thanks very much, so happy we could reuse them. Definitely by far the most complex, it’s been fun, even if it’s made my head feel like it’s going to pop sometimes 😂😂
That was brilliant, the amount of things you had to account for doing the bed box but what a fantastic saving!! The belly lockers are brilliant and the water filling point will look the mutz nutz there… cracking bit of fabricating from the workshop!! I know this makes me an anorak but I loved the camera work when you drilled the hole 🕳️ near as good as the propshaft shots! 😂 🙌
Another great vid folks, the 718 is coming along nicely and looks more awesome with each passing week. I bet Gregor has been closely following your build with interest too.
Jess that bolt thread tip I have used for years and only 2 weeks ago replacing two part rusty ones on my car. Had two longer ones and I had to add two nuts to one and lock them together and clamp in my moles, no vice now. I used a mini hacksaw and did not sand a bevel as it was going into the engine block. Those Belly Lockers John look professionally constructed and if I had not seen you make them, then I would not have believed it.
If I think about how expensive custom made storage boxes are, this seams very doable. I will definitely steal this idea for my own lorry in the future.
05:10 I nearly went down then…don’t forget to apply a good hock-tur to make it ‘worthwhile’… 😂 It’s always a pleasure watching you two interact and I’m loving the ingenious engineering of the Pinzgauer ❤ 22:28 It’s definitely ’inside out’ 😂😂😂 John I’m sure if you keep needling Jess she’ll eventually get the vocab right 😊
😂😂😂 just read him this gave him a right good laugh thanks so much. 😂😂😂😂😂 I thought I was going to be white washed again this week like with the toilet paper but actually people are agreeing with me apparently inside and out is a thing too 💪 get in 😂😂😂😂
I’m currently laid up in bed for over a week now with a bad back and look forward to your build videos every week the belly lockers look amazing looking forward to see how you do the canvas roof tell Jess we love the jokes and don’t forget to use your olive oil especially in the workshop great bit of kit.
You two are so talented!!! You think everything through meticulously & I love watching your progression. My Saturday nights always involve watching your videos, & despite not being a van owner, I absolutely love watching what you two get up to. I’ve watched every episode & am so jealous of your wonderful adventures. Thank you for keeping an old bird entertained. 😊
Yet another quality video, your upcycling of the parts that came off the original is a real eye opener, this is looking so good already. The inside and out knowledge that you two share is fantastic.
Amazing progress with the van, love how Jess is so professional and together she and John make an awesome team. Great use for the original part of the Roof to make the lockers, very professional finish. I so love my Saturday mornings, up kettle on brew in hand and sit down for the latest episode of True Blue Traveler’s. Brings back memories of Saturday morning growing up Minors Matinee, but without the screaming children. So love to you two down to earth couple, we now know when John start to Cross Dress, those sequences are Hilarious. xxxxxx ❤️💙
Thanks so much, that’s a lovely compliment thank you but not sure I’ve ever felt like I have together my whole life 😂😂💙 what a nice thing to say thank you, love that it makes you feel like this 💙
I'm really loving the series so far! I never knew the pinz was used for more than a troop carrying vehicle for the British Army. I had one in Afghanistan, which was destroyed by an IED. Completely obliterated by the blast and the follow up fire. All occupants were absolutely fine bar a few cuts and scrapes. Those vehicles are incredible and I'm so happy to see one being put to good use!
Blimey that sounds scary that, luckily everyone was ok could of been terrible hey, yeah I didn’t realise either that the fire service had them too, there’s still quite a few in service as well
Those lockers and the pop top are looking dead smart! It's not often I watch project / maker videos without thinking "theres a better way to do that" but you guys think everything through and implement it so well I rarely do. Hats off! I can't believe you got through the whole bolt cutting bit without a nut joke 😂
Wow!!! I love watching your channel to see all the bits you construct yourselves, those lockers are brilliant. Wish I had the space to try more things like this :)
Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it. Nice editing. I love that you repurpose as much as possible. The old saying "if these walls could talk" has been used in one form or another forever, but I've always been enamored by the permanence of a thing. Like two photos taken at the same tree decades apart. That tree connects two points through time. And how many people also have their pictures by that tree? There's something beautiful about things getting to still be useful in a new form. Things have stories. You're allowing the story of that thing to continue. That's art.
What a lovely thing to say thank you, we love reusing things and giving them a new life. I share your passion for old photos and of trees, I always wish they could talk, imagine the stories that could tell!!
I double nut the bolt to lock against each over. Jess is correct...to know something 'inside and out' The lockers look amazing and absolutely define the vehicle look. Far better look rather than it looking like the cab is floating of the wheels
You two are so clever, I really can't understand why you don't have more subscribers. 🤔 Another great video. Big Red is really coming along beautifully. ❤
Wait, did I miss something? No TTT?! No "bbbrrilliant piece of kit for the workshop"?! I'm devastated! 😂 Really looking forward to the interior fit out now. The exterior is looking excellent.
