well, as they have stated, it's really production costs. The longer you film, the more you pay for overall production. That said, time can also be shortened if you put in more work.

This is true, but ARB is pre-fabbed in warehouses, coastal off-road is typically only a few days to ship since no true fabrication goes into it. 4x innovations I’m sure took a while, and it would’ve been nice to see low truck in completion. That being said, a few days at the minimum probably could’ve gotten everything done. They should do an episode 3.5 or something of that

To be honest I think Team Low should be given more time to finish fabricating stuff. Usually you can do it fast or you can do it cheap, but not both.

[@jontong2804]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYmyooh9iNGamqc

[@montanamontero]

The fact that Low team couldn't finish their stuff in time is the epitome of DIY armor. Often it can be much cheaper, and more suited to your taste and application, but it takes A LOT of time and attention.

[@lol_surprisefoo]

So to be honest, IF you place value on your TIME, DIY projects can be time intensive and therefore VERY expensive. A production fab shop can pump out these assemblies much faster than I would using the same assembly fixtures and tooling. Whatever I made for myself was far more than a production piece. They were works of art.

[@CanadaBud23]

@@lol_surprisefoo It really does depend on a person, very case by case. For me I pretty much fab everything. I find out quite often what I make is superior to what is bought/available but very focused on a specific application. While manufactured products are made to try and cover everyone's needs in the same product which doesn't always work, but that's just the nature of manufactured products and trying to make as many people as possible happy. Despite the the skill and experience I feel that I am very "cost effective" in labour. Some people think they are so valuable in time that they try to justify a very high rate and/or would put off work based on that alone. Honestly in my opinion only, I think people are only worth maybe a quarter of what they say realistically. From my perspective usually that stems from a big ego, or a large chip on their shoulder. Anyway that's what I think. With that said, with people in the "I think I can't do that" catagory, they can. And the great thing about us is the ability to want to learn. Building your own stuff is the best teaching/experience tool you can use. My favourite saying goes: How do you build a cage? -Best way is to start fukin up some tubes!

[@volundrfrey896]

@@lol_surprisefoo It's not really a question of valuing your time imo, most of us have spare time for hobbies... at least anyone who have time to watch this video does. So if you enjoy building things then that's a great hobby and use of your spare time, if you don't then it's not and you should just buy the parts. You should see it as an alternative to watching TV, not an alternative to working.

When it comes to armor I think DIY will always win, you can really add your own touch of creativity and personality when you fabricate your own bumpers

[@beardedforlife3740]

The only way diy wins is if whoever is doing the fab work can design it properly and can weld really good.

[@wolfrus1809]

DIY only wins if you have the tools to do it or have the money and a bunch of free time to do it yourself.. spending 1000-1500$ on a bumper that can be installed in an hour or 2 will win every time against buying boatloads of tools and spending weeks designing and fabricating your own

I was impressed by how much difference there was in James fab skills. In the first series of hi car he mostly sat on his arse lol. Now he's actually fabricating! Different armour for different situations is what this shows. You can tailor it when you do it yourself and anyone can learn to weld. But it definitely does take so much time!

[@SSEF15]

I don't know, the reason servicing cars is so expensive at the shop (at least in my case being a sucker straight 6 BMW driver) is because you're paying for the time an experienced mechanic gets to look at it.

Everyone has to learn, I’d rather see ppl have crap welds and keep at it rather than just polish a turd. Grind it out and keep welding til you have a nice weld. Grind and paint after that where needed such as ur case

@@Rusty90 Eh, hobbyists don't really need to go through all that. If its a project that requires welding and they maybe pull that welder out once a year, "polishing a turd" is just part of the mix.

I can honestly say that I am totally impressed with the custom work. While I agree the choices made were much cheaper -- the $800 vs $4000 -- the cost of all the custom work wasn't clear. (did I miss that in the video?) Two questions I think most of us in the "real world" might have, or at least I have... 1. What would that labor typically cost someone who didn't have connections and friends? 2. What's the difference in added weight between the custom work and the expensive stuff?

That’s kind of the point of the series. Nolan is the face of low car because he’s younger and kind of a noob so it represents the average car guy on a budget. James is the oldest and Zach represents the professionalism that goes into building a hi car. I think it should stay the same

Most definitely. I've got a project car in my garage and like doing the fabrication myself. I'm only limited by the amount of tools I'd need to make more custom parts. Of course money becomes an issue with both, but ya really can save a boatload of dollars if you're able to do it yourself, as long as you have the tools, time & material. Plus their's more satisfaction in your work when you're fabricating & installing yourself. Hopefully some day soon more project comes together & works great.
