What's on the Bench Weekly Ep7 - Ultimate Earthroamer!

[@Andy_C_aka_Cliff_McCrawl]

Bumper sticker idea for next year: “I made this! Well… I assembled it.”

[@Callsign_Zion222]

Perfect.😂

[@alfalso434]

That's awesome !! LOL!

[@jasonwilliams74]

Paint you say! Slate grey metallic With a SBG livery Like a pit truck for a race team! 🔥

[@alfalso434]

No doubt. I kinda had the same idea. A metallic grey with a red for accents. Hell yeah!! Great minds lol

[@ChunkiieCustomz]

Resin print two fan blades for the “ac” it will cover the hole with detail and just like IRL you can see through into the van a little.

[@MrDOZA28]

I'm certain that one day these will become sought after again. Find one now while they're cheap (and before Kpop buys them all) I'll be keeping hold of mine. Great video👌 Looking forward to more👍

[@Stoney429b]

If no one else has said it already, the round things for the exterior of the Earth Roamer are outdoor speakers, for tunes when you're eating or chilling outside under your awning, in your deck chair, with a fine whiskey 👍🏼

[@paulpitmon6663]

I gotta say, you old rover. The one you restored, the red/orange and striped rover, looks great. I'm drawn to it every time I watch a video since you put it on the top shelf.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you! I'm very pleased with the results.

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

Killer job and the function of the door is rad. I will say that I'm surprised to see you didn't mount the winch upside down on one of the roof braces to get it up off the floor. Extra bracing? Super well designed 3D printed mount? It would open up a whole area for the DJ booth and PA system. The Landy looks spectacular. The tire choice was perfect. That rear suspension is DOPE. As always, thanks for the video! 👍😎👍

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching. I've had a few different suggestions on how to mount the winch, so much appreciated!

[@badbilly4209]

Earthroamer is looking great.

[@eternitycustom]

Amazing work👍

[@_Sphaxz_]

The little discs are most likely for connecting to grid power and water connections. That's what they're usually for on standard campers at least

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@adamb7426]

Hey thanks for the nitro vid.!! Those were fun times long ago.

[@LRCR]

The Earthroamer looks like it coming together very well with the door and plans for the solar panels, I haven't seen that grill yet but when it arrives to Tennessee I'll be sure to let you know, So for the paint on it was you wanting to go "Hemi Storm" or something more fitting for off grid life... I mean with the Cricut Masking you could put a mountain scene with of course who else but Josh as Bigfoot LMBO... No Josh... just a family of Sasquatch with a lake/stream etc... Dang this was gonna be a short comment... The rebuild is really turning out Great. Looking forward to Next Week of What's on the Bench weekly ✌🤠👍 HFLPRCing =Having Fun Laughing Playing and RCing 👍😎👍 AOAH =Association of Addicted Hobbiest 🙏 SSPH =Stay Safe and Play Healthy My Friend

[@TheBeardedGorilla89]

I think the earthroamer tan would be a great choice. With dark brown graphics

[@brandonchayka4009]

You might be able to rig up the spring from a pen to help pull the door back down. Maybe one of them awesome RC4WD pens. I heard there pretty cheap.

[@_Sphaxz_]

I've heard they're even on sale

[@scalebuildersguild]

I ordered 1000 just to be safe! 😂

[@scalebuildersguild]

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

Or maybe a Garmin navigation station/platform. Every earth romer needs one of those. Could come in handy on the trail. Just a random thought. Cheers!!!

[@felixbull6738]

The little discs could be for water tanks or possibly vents for a diesel heater or fridge

[@leestewart5424]

But of course. really like how the Earthroamer is turning out and the Range Rover looks Great driving it should be a blast with that throttle control Thanks for the video

[@scalebuildersguild]

Couldn't agree more!

[@GrimJerr]

That Furitek system looks like the system I may go with for my Element Ecto, Gspeed rail, I have in mind as a future build. Just now getting to building out my SCX24 Deadbolt with a Tegu and a Komodo. I have been sitting on this Tegu since January.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Nice! That's a great setup so far!

[@joseangelbarro6496]

Hi, very good job, you should try to attach the winch on the roof 👍🤙👏👏

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

The ranger rover is turning out so great again!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@forrestcrabbe]

You should paint it like my old vw bus 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘

[@Gtraulsen]

Some digital camo would be cool for paint and maybe use some brass on the door to help it back down?

[@BlindGuyRc]

Dude the roamer looks so cool. Great work on the door. Love the solar panel idea. As for paint. After some looking... I saw they did a silver/grey ish colour with a whole mountains theme along the side of the camper section. I think that's a cool idea. White isn't bad. But that grey they do is cool, plus the mountain range livery. As for the rover. Love it. That rear suspension came out killer. I now want that furitech lizard 10. Put that on my origin. Great work man.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@DRZ-RC]

I’ve seen a couple earth roamers that were painted OD Green, Desert Tan, and some satin black accents. They look awesome!

[@robsadler7094]

Earthroamer looks great! How about urban camo, seems appropriate for such a beast since they're known for their city prowess

[@mrstanton81]

Super cool series man. Keep it up! Progress is progress! 🙂✌️

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks! Will do!

[@notG1O]

they have those single can USB can coolers you could probably adapt in the box and use the power bank/solar panels! love the idea and its looking great.

The knife joke gets me every time 😂😂😂 love the content you and Josh put out y’all are an inspiration to me

On the earth roamer. Do the water transfer camouflage. Military color it will look cool.

The EarthRoamer would look good in bright gun metal and some white. Ur content is great, love the custom builds u do🤟🏼

[@scalebuildersguild]

@@scalebuildersguild Paint it black!

[@cls420]

You should Mount the winch to the ceiling of the travel trailer and then you have all that extra floor space!🤷🏼‍♂️

[@sweetd8645]

I'd paint it a dull white. Earth cruiser is in my town. Most overland vehicles are scratched up white.

[@PeterCPRail8748]

Those disk looking things look like outdoor side wall mounted RV speakers. As for the solar panels, I don't know if I missed you meantioning it, but I would nicely frame them. Most RV solar panels that are not built in to the roof or walls are framed. Also maybe even lining them with clear thin Lexan to protect them from damage in a roll over. Nice frame work on the Rover as well.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for the tips!

[@notG1O]

@@scalebuildersguild theres also a bunch of covers for the drinking water tank, grey water tank, black water tank and shore power plugs etc.

[@peteryedica6510]

Paint the whole Earth Roamer MIRROR CHROME!

[@brianargo1659]

Does the door go down on its on? If not, hook a spring to the bottom of the door off to one side in order to make it pull it's self back down by going in reverse with the wench. Super cool build. Can't wait to see the finally

[@Callsign_Zion222]

Way awesome man!! Very ingenious on the roll up door!! But the knife thing man……. 🥴🙄. We get it you put together a kit knife….. But “there’s” the joke I guess. Really love this whats on the bench series though!!!!!

Paint it with bed liner. Like they do to other over land RV’s

Have you done anything new to the honcho since the budget build? I love the honcho!

[@jameskauffman8405]

Earth tone colors for the Earthroamer. Maybe greens, browns, tans, but not camo pattern.

[@CalebHeylandCjBlackBird]

Have the solar panels power small fans on the roof for functioning AC look

[@nogmann8793]

something like mopars destroyer Grey would look really cool on the earthroamer.

[@johnoneal1999]

Dark grey with bright (orange, green, etc) accents

[@Chibs_Creationz]

"I like the patina it's says it's been used" so I don't have to lol 😆😆

[@paulmcnamara16]

Think the earth roamer should be silver or camo loving the Rangey and you spending all your build time with Clay hey buddy? 🤣👍

[@blakedenley3792]

Should route the winch line more straight up from the winch to give more room inside

[@Jerm_Simrd]

the 2 grill on top of the roof put fonctioning fan it`s will be nice

[@riffle91ar]

I think a could diff shades of grey would be really cool.

[@pigsear5442]

For a colour scheme I searched on the internet and found several white campers, and black too. I did like the look of a bronze/ gold one with black accents, window frames, wheel arches etc. Unfortunately, I can't attach a picture, for some reason.

10:39 Midnight green

[@blahgor123]

I feel like the Earthroamer should get a nice Diesel sound kit. Possible a printed side canopy, a bike rack with a resin printed bike. After the paint is applied why not use the vinyl cutter and have changeable shapes? for the paint, why not a Cyber Punk inspired design, you know...... just on the off chance someone may have overlooked it.

[@jaredsayrc4947]

You should buy GT Power Pro A60 it's a esc with lights sound Vibration and you can choice between sensor brushless motor and Brushed motor

[@Basshertz13]

Possibly a liquid death motif on the trailer since your gna do a cooler . Lol greys browns silvers any of those . The Land Rover is turning out to be my favorite build you’ve done in a while mainly because I see how happy it is made you to work on it. The furitek motor and esc is so damn quiet wow I wonder if that would fit in a sand scorcher lol. Love it man it’s great 👍

Would it have been possible to put the winch up on the roof side so the winch line wouldn’t be in the way of the interior? I’m sure you already thought about it, both trucks are looking awesome!!! Maybe a light Taupe or light grey with a silhouette scenery ?? Have a great day!!

Yep! I weighed down the door. Thanks for watching!

The Earthroamer kinda looks like those trucks that transport horses.

[@Ghostofthepnw]

These are earthroamers 2022 color options. My vote is to stick with their colors. Of the colors my vote is Atlas Blue Exterior Color Oxford White, Iconic Silver Metallic, Race Red, Atlas Blue Metallic

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

Color, how about a blue/red combination. Go good with the black? Would the solar panels be enough for a WiFi hot spot? Something like an EVGA twist of sorts? Maybe not. Just a thought. Like button selected.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I think there would be enough power for a mini computer. Thanks for watching!

[@danwoodruff4323]

Gun metal and gold.

[@brianellison3525]

Looking real good! What are you using to pull or push the door shut? The mechanical engineer in me has come up with a couple ways. Just curious. The round things on the side of the rig are fuel caps. Just got done watching a vid from the builder. Nice work, have you thought about moving the winch to the roof to get the cable out of the interior? Be well, and have fun!

[@JEMSGarageandMotorsports]

Are the disc's for red and amber marker/clearance lights?

If your putting scale-ish items inside, wouldn't it be better if you mounted the winch further up to give yourself the room? Like the beam for instance? Or am I looking at this all wrong 😅 Camo gray would be cool.

I know you said no Black. But what about black camouflage ?

[@Nickwillfixit]

So now you have progressed to the point of no return you wont be getting the Rock Hobby tilt back slider kit to make the bed functional ?? although if you could get a 1/10th scale side by side or quad then with the roll up back you could make it a toy hauler so it is part living area with fold down beds once the toys are unloaded I have always wanted a 1-1 but they are too big for the UK roads.

[@copperhead1967ify]

I've been browsing around for the right parts to begin my TRX4 & TRX6 build, what's your honest opinion of doing a cantilever suspension vs the standard the truck comes with, I'm planning an all aluminum & possible carbon fiber build if I can find the right parts? Also who do you recommend for getting axles from & are portals my only option for the TRX platform, I somewhat remember you modifying the stock plastic axles on one your builds, can't recall what build exactly. keep up the good work and I can't wait to see you possibly attempt another of the crazy MONTHLY MAYHEM builds, can only imagine what you could create next, maybe a scale rc flyer of some kind.
