Mate, fantastic presentation, well done. Your spiel, accent and gags remind me of the fine Scots tradesmen who shared their skills and experience with me as an apprentice in Australia in the late 1970s.

[@DavidMcLuckie]

Brown mud doesn't help the look.

What is that bolt heater thing & were can a fella get one ? Great video!

[@DavidMcLuckie]

It's an induction heater. I should have shown using it on the other side where the bolt is next to the plastic diesel tank, using a flame there wasn't an option. Not affiliated with this seller, just the first I found on eBay (even though one of the smaller pics is a clip from the video I made) www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1000W-Mini-Ductor-Magnetic-Induction-Heater-Kit-for-Automotive-Flameless-Heat-HQ/254003859936?epid=22026541209&hash=item3b23cf51e0:g:ZvQAAOSwD1Ne7Cl4

[@mardylopez7702]

I have to ask. How is you DIY car ramp holding up? Doing ok? We all want to know? Please and thank you. Just subbed

[@DavidMcLuckie]

Well, it's had the Driftbaru on it for most of lockdown while I did suspension mods, brakes and a bit of underseal.

[@enggwahaj]

what is the rating of leaf spring?

[@BenMitro]

There is a part in the last shot on the ground...is that an oops?

[@DavidMcLuckie]

Nah, just the bump stop that needs stuck back in place but rain was moving in, it'll keep for another day.

[@twocvbloke]

A Hilux? Broken?? I thought they were indestructible?!?! :P

[@DavidMcLuckie]

Only the indestructible bits, everything else falls apart as normal. ;)

[@hannesmoser2732]

such rustiness

[@PaulAlford75]

Did he get some higher rated springs?

[@DavidMcLuckie]

I'm sure he said the higher rated ones were a lot more. And he doesn't have any real heavy loads.

[@BenMitro]

Remind me to never buy a used car from the UK...it looks like you guys use salt.

[@DavidMcLuckie]

All the salt. But a lot of the underside there is covered in site mud.
