Nate: I'm sorry for dragging this out, but we have another tire carrier video... Subscribers: Oh no! More DL content for us to watch?! How dare you Nate 😝

@DirtLifestyle 3 года назад

Lol 😆

@stevegurney1310 3 года назад

I'm a fleet mechanic who has the privilege of fabricating from time to time. Fabricating is a lot harder than you make it look. I really appreciate your attention to detail and I especially admire your creativity. The project that you just finished is a whopper. Very good job!

@jj5484 3 года назад

Excellent series! I don’t care that it was five episodes. I tell my customers “you can have it good, fast, and cheap. Pick two.” You clearly chose the longer road and that shows in the detail. Nice work.

@keithfriesen3420 3 года назад

Projects tend to take on a life of their own in my experience, a series meant to be three episodes turning into five is just part of the experience brother I’d watch those all day long!! Keep up the great content, I’ll be here waiting and watching lol.

@DirtLifestyle 3 года назад

Thanks man!

@swarbrickjesse 3 года назад

Unbelievably clean! Great job bro. Great cinematography as usual.

@DirtLifestyle 3 года назад

Thank you!

@giermob11 3 года назад

As a mountain biker, put some liquid lube inside that cable, it will last longer and it won't rust

@Bikesands 3 года назад

The extra welding and grinding time was well worth it. The finish looks great. 👍🏻👍🏻

@denvernow7294 3 года назад

I think you meant "was WELD worth it."

@qasd48 3 года назад

One of my favorite channels on RU-vid. Put it out, I'll watch - don't care if it's 1 episode or 10.

@angelcatalan7376 3 года назад

Being a builder myself, I can see that I got more work to do. Although I’m limited by not having your access to equipment, you really inspire thank you

@DirtLifestyle 3 года назад

Thank you for the kind words 👍

@_autoverse 3 года назад

I found myself watching four episodes consecutively, the production quality of the videos is top notch. As a result I’ve subscribed to see this Disco project evolve.

@waijhou9529 3 года назад

Nate, I find it refreshing that all your fab work shows you with the PPE. Excellent work brother!

@Nick-tp1gp 3 года назад

Awesome job Nate. The final result looks like a top-tier-manufacturer’s product. Can I come hang out during your next build? I’m a darn good flashlight holder.

@caseybronson2224 3 года назад

At this point every time I watch your videos I don't know if I'm more impressed by the work in the video or the videography. You've stepped up your channel 10 fold. Great work keep it up!

@PaulPaulsen 3 года назад

for the window i recommend aluminum-dibond. it´s 2 thin layers of aluminum sandwiching a layer of pvc. sign shops should have plenty of it.

@DirtLifestyle 3 года назад

I just looked it up. Expensive but I like the concept alot 👍

@jthiessen8514 3 года назад

Thanks for all the tips on how to keep everything straight!!! I will definitely be trying this method and I'm sure I won't be the only one.

@terrycorbett1907 3 года назад

Hi Nate Watching you from Canada you make me want to get in the garage more with your videos You should be a teacher you have a way to explain what you do in a way that make it look easy. Keep up the good work and thank you Terry

@tristan3759 3 года назад

I love how you film yourself welding/cutting/etc. it's no fun when other RU-vidr's just say what they are going to do then show you how it looks when they are finished.

@DirtLifestyle 3 года назад

Thanks man!

@SQLRYAN 3 года назад

Yay, final product. Looks like a fine balance between strength and weight. See how it holds up in real use. Well done, Nate.

@aznes004 3 года назад

I haven’t watched the channel for months, time to binge this series.

@joerivs80 3 года назад

Looks awesome Nate. Those edges look flawless. Looks like something someone could buy and it’s only a one off! Incredible. Great work.

@DirtLifestyle 3 года назад

Thank you!

@jeepindave5464 3 года назад

The carrier turned out sweet. Thanks for the shout out, but i just realized I didn't word that the greatest. Sorry. Haha. Thanks for answering that. I'm not familiar with bike cables and their dependability in the elements.

@ShredGarage 3 года назад

I like the idea of having two separate patches that operate in different ways. Having fall backs in case one stops working is always good to have.

@anticsgarage5230 3 года назад

Looks fantastic. I agree, a single latch would probably be better, but you did an admirable job of using readily available parts. 5 stars!

@brianmoffett7475 3 года назад

Thanks for the drill bit info and the explanation about the cutting oil. Does the same hold true for hole saws and which brands work best. Personally I would love to see a video about tools that actually work so I don’t waste my money on substandard tools. I have already added the rivnut tool, angle finder and portable bandsaw. Not just to be like Nate, but because Nate showed me why those tools made the project easier. Keep up the great work Nate, there are many of us that need the know-how.

@henrikm4657 3 года назад

That’s really a badass build bro! I can appreciate all the work that goes into the fabrication part, but to also make these high end videos along the way, that’s a big project in itself.

@jameshall4385 3 года назад

Next week’s video. My rear bumper and how I’m going to redesign it. It looks great.

@DirtLifestyle 3 года назад

Lol

@OLinUnix188 3 года назад

Love this series! The best part to me is when you talk your way through your ideas and issues... I’ve learned a great deal from you. Thank You!

@1stuart1 3 года назад

As usual, great build, series, and video. I actually really appreciate the sponsorship, and plug, for Empire abrasives. As a new fabricator, it's easy for me to get caught up lusting after fancy fab tools, and completely overlook the basics that I'd probably otherwise just purchase from Harbor Freight or something.

@KansasSlim64 3 года назад

Beautiful work, Nate. I don’t think the extended series is a problem because the insight into your process and how you address issues as they come up is fascinating. The other part would be that each part of the series showed significant progress, so we didn’t feel like we were stuck on the same thing over and over. Absolutely fantastic work, both in the fabrication & the video production.

@marcuspaul6635 3 года назад

Love it Nate, really glad you added in the side plates and under capping to finish it off.

@christianiverson3346 3 года назад

Great series, you are an inspiration. Drillls: I’m a machinist of 40+. For steel in the thickness you are working with, search out a stub length split point cobalt drill. They are a bit more expensive. If you are $ conscious, then just buy the sizes you use the most.

@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736 2 года назад

I thought it turned out great, especially after the paint job! I guess that was the Eastwood Prep and Paint. That stuff looks awesome for a rattle can paint job! I think the whole kitchen table, frig and drawer storage set up you built for it all works together great. I really enjoyed watching the series, Nate! Great job once again, brother! I'm glad you shared the video content with us!

@chopperchuck 3 года назад

out standing , better than any store bought bumper i have seen

@HillBillyRailRoad 3 года назад

Nate your craftsmanship has improved so much over the years thank you

@xzibito187 3 года назад

Looks awesome and a great concept, one random suggestion would be some lighting for the kitchen , But I think your probably considering that..

@Final_Drive 3 года назад

Came here for the discovery. Stayed here for the fabrication and followed the whole build. Stunning work! 🇬🇧

@danielhurst8863 3 года назад

Looks awesome. Number of great ideas. I've literally been imagining it on my 2004 Discovery and how everything would work. The only potential issue I can see relates to your table. You deliberately don't have the table mounted to the swing rack so it doesn't get dirty (great thinking, I would have mounted it and it would have gotten dirty), but you will have the tire above your surface and the tire can be dusty, dirty or muddy depending on your location, and wind can easily blow that onto your table. The regular swing out doesn't have this because the door is solid and blocks wind, and it's internal to the vehicle so the inside of the window isn't exposed like the tire is exposed. I think the simplest solution is a small cloth that you drape over the back of the tire when you put on your table. Little weight and easily mounted and takes little space when it's not used, and can have pockets for holding cooking utensil, spices, etc.. Depending on how windy your location, you may have to secure the cloth. In Casper Wyoming there are enormous winds and would blow anything unsecured away. Your channel makes me think about issues that have never crossed my mind before, and that's a good thing. Again, thank you for taking the time to explain your tips and tricks. That is what really sets your channel apart. You understand that others may not understand what you are doing, and you have a good style giving information that appeals to both experts and amateurs, and that's hard to pull off. I also like you use the same spray coating that I use on my roof rack.

@DirtLifestyle 3 года назад

@Irishstew I feel the same lol. Daniel Hurst I will do my best to resist mud on my surfaces but at the end of the day camping is messy and I'm happy with the finished product here 👍

@fastfoodvwFL 3 года назад

The 8:00 mark is the gold on this episode, that people don't get when they ask someone else to make them a bumper.

@kentuckyproud4575 3 года назад

Nate, man.. that turned out awesome! I dont usually care for series that go beyond 2 or 3 episodes unless its the channels topic so to speak but this one kept me wanting more! That bumper looks like a purchased product not a garage build! Great job and great job on the video some of the best quality and editing i follow. Keep it coming!

@DirtLifestyle 3 года назад

Very honored to have a such a kind compliment 🙏 thanks brother

@austincableguy 3 года назад

This project has been so much fun to watch. I wish I had half the talent and tools to be able to fabricate stuff like this!

Thank you!

@waynechenault4596 3 года назад

Nate... I haven't seen a video of yours I don't like. Believe it or not you helped inspire me to do something I've never attempted before. I replaced the metal around my windshield because of rust. I know you don't really do bodywork on your channel but seeing you build and tackle problems while fabricating helped give me the confidence to try. Thank you. I'll try and post a couple pics of my work

@silentjde 3 года назад

Came out great. One tip I can share, I find a semi gloss or flat clear help the bedliner paint stay looking better and easier to clean.

@solosaga5091 3 года назад

Excellent Brother! Building out a rig is such a personal journey, and you're such a professional, it's difficult to offer any constructive criticism.

@sgtmiki_ 3 года назад

Now you need a wrap around awning. A diy version would be a great video

@chrisgrant3784 3 года назад

Hey Nate thanks for this series, love your style. I'm a fabricator too but I'm the guy who plans it through before I start. I really appreciate guys like you who just go at it and I'm starting to loosen up and go your route. It helps me see ideas and opportunities that come up during the build and incorporate last minute features into a build. Anyway lots of great ideas and information thank you. Cheers

@DirtLifestyle 3 года назад

Thanks buddy! There are definitely pros and cons to both methods of fabrication. I think finding a balance is the way to go and like you and constantly trying to find that middle ground. Thanks for watching buddy and for the positive comment 👍

@DestinationArkansas 3 года назад

Bro you are a mad scientist in the garage! I don't get hooked on many channels but I stumbled across yours and I was instant hook after watching this build. You seriously need a tv show. Ordered me some decals today for my kl!

@pappaclutch3266 3 года назад

Looking forward to a 5 part series on the rear window 💪🏼

@johnhogg625 3 года назад

Another tip for drilling, drill a pilot hole and make sure your speed is right for the bit and material.

@paullydca 3 года назад

I think it's pretty amazing. I agree the top latch although functional might have a shorter life span. Overall it looks way more aggressive, and the kitchen setup is really functional. Great job, I enjoyed all 5 videos in this series.

@kg1211 3 года назад

Love the long series! Being able to see a lot of the little things instead of wondering what you did is very helpful!! Keep up the great work!!!

@tmurray12 3 года назад

Whammy! Regarding your rig, regardless of what I think of it (awesome) what I enjoy most is that you have an overland rig that's kind of old school in the sense that the bulk of your rig is custom fabbed. Before all the bolt on accessories were as abundant as they are now all one could do was custom fab something. It's a really cool build that I feel honors the traditions of over landing. Well done. Thanks for the content and inspiration!

@nothingtoseaheardammit 3 года назад

Nate, we gotta get you a powdercoating setup. Looks great. Wish I could make a 3rd attachment point for my 37" tire carrier like yours. An improvement you might want to incorporate is a gas strut to help open the carrier. Helps if you are parked sideways on a hill.

@rombi97 3 года назад

Hello Nate, can you make an in depth tour of your Workshop Tools? Greetings from Germany

@DirtLifestyle 3 года назад

Hey man! I plan on doing that eventually 👍. I love Germany! We were Stationed in Berlin when I was a kid

@rombi97 3 года назад

@@DirtLifestyle that's cool 👍

@MrAcuta73 3 года назад

Good to see it done, super clean! Yeah, have no fears of running over a number of episodes. Shows the process even when you hit roadblocks and backtrack. That may be some of the more important bits, seeing how you adjust fire and finish the mission.

@jamescagle5208 3 года назад

Great setup. I love how quickly the kitchen set up. We can definitely tell a lot of thought went into this.

@zeedimwit 10 месяцев назад

Beautiful man! Thank you so much Nate. You're a great teacher and the things you create are truly inspiring, I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I love the create as you go process. The passion, positivity, and purely practical knowledge is priceless. Peace out Pimp!

@craigmaurer8484 3 года назад

Great job Nate, very clean lines! Nice job benching it out, you’re right, most people don’t realize how important the finish work is on the over all final looks and quality of the job!! Are you happy you made the transition to full time videos? Is it financially stable enough to support your family? How does the youtube pay scale work? Does it go off of views, subscribers or both? Thanks for all you do, keep up the great work!

@markcargile 3 года назад

@Dabaldgorilla 3 года назад

Holy hell, that bumper turned out AMAZING. I'm hoping when I finish designing my bumper and I start to fab it up it turns out anywhere close to that. Great job keep up the good work.

@straws 3 года назад

You could make this bumper series 12 videos and each an hour long and I'd watch them all.

@onetruebob_tj 3 года назад

Out-f'ng-standing Nate. Such an epic build. It was interesting watching this project go from an initial drawing and ideas to what's in this final video. You really used a bunch of different skills and took us along for the ride. Thank you!

@davidcooper3957 3 года назад

Having built my own overland cargo area in my jku I think you will always be the biggest critic, love the way your bumper cam out keep up the great work.

@LJ_Jeff 3 года назад

Sick unit man. I agree with your "if I changed anything", having the one lever release the 2 latches would be nice. But it'll definitely work as is.

@williamolliges2622 3 года назад

My lack of metalwork experience exposed itself watching the final episode. I couldn’t wrap my head around the final (finish weld?) weld and grind portion of the project and what it was going to look like. Then you said you were going to “paint” the bumper and I’m screaming bedliner in my head. I guess I’m just used to “ranch style” bumpers where the “weld” is a visual part of the finished product. I wasn’t prepared for the seamless look and subtle but tough textured paint that appeared in the final product. Beautiful work.

@boostdtalon 3 года назад

Love the finished product and I’m glad you didn’t rush it. You would have regretted that.

@bryanc281 3 года назад

Awesome! I’ll take one for my D1! Seriously you need to sell this whole bumper setup.

@DirtLifestyle 3 года назад

Lol

@erichughes9098 3 года назад

This was a great series thank you Nate. Now it’s time to take it for a shake down and see how it all works and I’m sure when you get back you’ll have 15 new ideas. At least that’s the way things work for me. 😎👍

@ronaldgraham5685 3 года назад

When I seen the (reverse lights) box, I got really excited. I thought you finally got a paint gun set🤣 Simply, well thought out, and amazing set up.

@snowysysadmin59 3 года назад

That finished product though. wow. im being serious here: if you were to come up to me randomly and say "Hey look at my vehicles rear bumper!" i would literally ask you where you bought it and then youd have to prove to me that you built that yourself cause my god it looks SO good. Nice work man, awesome series.

@ms.karihart2983 3 года назад

@marka1712 3 года назад

Great video and I love this series. I just got a welder and some scrap steel and did the first welding of my life last night at 10:30. It sucked but I will get there. I have always wanted to learn welding and my love of wheeling, the lack of parts for my rig and your videos have inspired me to learn at 39. Thanks for the content, lessons and entertainment brother.

@Nanan00 3 года назад

Nate, the quality of work you produce is amazing! Keep up the good work, I really enjoy seeing what you are going to build next.

@iwheelhard469 3 года назад

Just wanted you to know that I appreciate the time & effort that it takes to produce, edit & render content of this caliber. I don't think people realize how much work it takes to set up the shots, swap lenses, filters, exposure/iso/shutter speed. Top tier...and it shows. Love that Ronin S. Have you had the chance to check out the RS/RSC 2?? Active track & Raveneye are Insane.

@apexpredator_jku 3 года назад

I've been singing the same production praises for the longest! I just got the RS2 for x-mas...next level. Active track is almost creepy, even in low light.

@DirtLifestyle 3 года назад

Thanks! The gimbal you saw in the video is the rs2 👍. I actually shot some with active track but it felt to distracting so I cut it lol. I will find away to incorporate it in the future for sure

@jeffleuenroth7849 3 года назад

@malcolmcrawford261 3 года назад

Hi Nate, love your channel. Ive been following for a while now and thanks to you, ive broke out of my comfort zone and started fabricating my own front bumper for my 01 xj. Your videos have always been very informative, Detailed, and Inspiring. Keep up the fantastic work

@frankmcgowan9457 2 года назад

Thanks for all the explanations. You are a good teacher.

@u00djb 3 года назад

Nate, I admire your insight you have for your projects. I went lame and installed a SmittyBilt that used a sliding spring loaded pin years back and used a De-Sta-Co Pull-Action Stainless Steel Toggle Clamp from McMaster Carr 5071A57 to hold the tire carrier in place. The carrier rests on a block of delron/Mylar/phenolic material. The latch has a locking mechanism that worked perfect for my app. The De-Sta-Co latch quality is top notch. FYI only.

@rickbown6871 3 года назад

You nailed it on drilling holes! A drill press makes a huge difference and I try to drill everything before final assembly so I'm not drilling by hand.

@bobbynate4271 3 года назад

Worth every episode 👍. Hey Nate I just had an idea for your rear window I wanted to share. Imagine if you could use it as a table. Make a way to pull it off or fold down under the awning. It would be a lot of work, but if done well it could be well worth it. Thanks for taking us alone your journey man.

@fvpaquetqc 3 года назад

Finished product is soo clean ans sharp! Well done

@DirtLifestyle 3 года назад

@JackalO481 3 года назад

Made something similar to this, used hydraulic latches instead, seemed to work better when I'm in -0/F weather. Had a problem with most swing and buckle latches freezing after an overnight sub-zero camp or during the summer, them getting so packed with mud and rocks from various tracks it became a "find a big hammer or rock to open scenario. I Tig'ed my whole bumpers, left em with that stack dime look, and clear coated the bumpers and accessory racks. Different strokes for different folks, But absolutely loved your build, Rock on bud, and keep up the great work!

@joehaney4712 3 года назад

@jtdehaanjr 3 года назад

Nate, absolutely excellent work. It looks really good, and the fit and finish is great--love the silver buttonheads on the black armor, your edgework, and the BD lights. Maybe a future project: some sort of drop down canvass flap to keep dust out of the cab so you don't have to break down your camp kitchen every time? Also, possibly some rubber/poly bushings on the pins to keep that aluminum from rubbing on that nice finished swingout (kind if made me cringe to hear the metal on metal). Outstanding work! Can't wait to see a matching front bumper!

@dinomartinez1762 3 года назад

Like the table nice touch

@georgegooge8212 3 года назад

Nate, you may feel like this mini-series has dragged on, but damn it's worth it! The attention to detail, the quality of your work, the finishing/paint... the fact that it's taken longer than planned has really shown us that great work takes time and that it's worth that time for results like this. Thanks for all the inspiration man, keep it up 👍🏻
