Would you paint your vehicle yourself? 🎨👨‍🎨

[@Australian_Outdoor_man]

Absolutely. Give it go and save some money. 👍👍👍

[@chipandrews2892]

Absolutely! I have done it several times...the first time I was 17 years old and I painted the 1968 Ford Mustang my Aunt gave me....she was a Nun and it had flowers painted all over it. That HAD to GO!! LOL!!

[@dirkhallmann8941]

Yes, i did this many Times during my Service in the German Airforce. I worked at the Airbase paintshop and painted All Kind of vehicles from a Jeep to Rockets. A little hind 4 you, if you paint this unimog in your Garage, keep the floor Wet. It reduce the dust. Sry 4 my Bad english 😂 greetz from Germany and have fun 🙋

[@D4NS80]

Yeh me and my brother painted the 80 series in the driveway with rattle cans hahaha! Gonna raptor or two pot epoxy it one day ;)

[@TheOutFit]

@@chipandrews2892 I've always dreamed of owning a classic American muscle car. One day 🤞

[@LegacyConversations]

Really great viewing. Thank you. Wish you the very best.

[@globlander3542]

Definitely yes ! It's not a space shuttle. I am very happy with my own work!

[@michaelguerin56]

As a carpenter, I advise that you always need at least one glass sucker for safety and on a piece that heavy, two suckers should always be used. I have seen too many instances of broken glass during straight demolition and leaky house rebuilds, to go without. Even the professional gear is relatively cheap in these times. The job was safe and relatively easy because you guys did it the right way. 🙂 Please keep it up. The vehicle is looking very good.

[@rjl110919581]

thank you for your detail video

[@ericchilver9113]

DIY has its merits , location location folks, weather wind dust all comes into play. Multitasking Ange. Think it would be so rewarding to DIY

[@chasingruts4632]

Loving the content guys can't wait for final results... just a life hack iv seen putting windscreen and rubber back in run small rope around the inside of the rubber put windscreen hard against windo frame and pull 1 piece of rope on the inside and that should be enough to seet the rubber🤞

[@michaelturley1466]

We used to do the same when removing windscreens , did for working on cars at Tint a Car 25 years ago.

[@VeryCoolJeep]

Hard work, but a lot of fun to work on your own vehicle

[@gustavobro2484]

Go guys!!!!!!!!! So good, so happy for you🙂. Yep, life’s short and adventures to be had!!!!!!!!!!! Keep on rockin’☮️❤️🙂

[@Australian_Outdoor_man]

Build is going well guys. Love it ❤❤❤

[@TheOutFit]

First 🤙

[@mdc503]

I have sanded my share of ex military vehicles. The transition between the camo colors was the worst. Spraying a solid color is so rewarding and I am excited for you two. Did I miss the footage of the awesome banana pancake? All the best!

[@robkeith1776]

Hey Ange and Chris. You're doing a great job of the preparation. So important. Looking forward to seeing what colour you have chosen.

[@brendontait584]

Hey... recently found your channel, love following your build. Can't wait to get my cab soundproofed!

[@TheOutFit]

Thank you Brendon for following along! We watched many of your videos, we learnt a lot from you 👍

[@s.lindvall5386]

I started watching for the Jeep and overlanding tips, but I have to admit that I am completely sucked into this Unimog project. It's great to see the evolution!

[@TheOutFit]

So glad you are sticking around, thank you so much 😃

[@overlandunderland1765]

keep up the good work guys this mog is going to look smick

[@MudducksTouringAustralia]

I hope when this is all done Ange learns to drive it too. Cheers Steve

[@TheOutFit]

I'll give it a try! I'll get Chris to teach me in the great outdoors away from traffic 😆

[@MudducksTouringAustralia]

@@TheOutFit I have faith in you Ange!! You'll drive it better than Chrissy boy.

[@TheOutFit]

Ahah pressure is on me 😁

[@tracyraley4003]

I used Raptor liner in my truck. I’m very happy with it.

[@stephensedgmen4698]

Hi Chris & Ange. I have painted my HR Holden & SLR Torana.. But the army green suit's the mog. I love the mog just the way she is...so if you can make the mog more attractive, I will be super impressed. Looking forward to see how you guy's create the living box. BTW Chris, you have a one in a million person in Ange. You lucky bloke Chris.

[@motoninja2747]

fantastic guys I look forward to each weeks video keep up the good work

[@slightadrift]

Wow, really impressive (and an eye opener into how much time it's going to take us when we do ours). Looking forward to the next one. Thanks!

[@onedayatatime4232]

Well done guys the truck is coming along nicely 😀

[@whiteeulogianraven7995]

There is not going to be an "unknown inch" on that beast. What a delight for the ears when it smoothly roars. ¡PURA VIDA! I forgot to say, I bloody love your accents. It is very difficult to understand, that is why I like it. It is a complement, at least I see it that way jajajajaja.

[@PerthSnaps]

I like how they left the tags on the window suckers so they can return them even tho bunnings will still accept them back without the tags

[@mlbpaintdistributors7736]

"it looks like bird sh*t" ahaha, the funniest reply we have heard! Thanks again for stopping by :)

[@TheOutFit]

Ahah thanks for the great colour mix 🤣 I'm sure we'll be back! 😆

[@scottjohnson3686]

Cupola, another tip keep a can (soft drink/beer) with you as the spindle on the wiper strip and cutting approx 1cmX1cm piece fits nicely inside the wiper arm and it will get you out of trouble 🙂

[@seanyowies8532]

I was hoping to see the colour of paint you have chosen. I guess I just have to wait

[@TheOutFit]

The wait will be worth it 👍

[@albertdesalvo7273]

​@@christanner3770 I don't know why but I'm imagining the Mog being painted in metallic blue.

[@davidmerriott7356]

Just found you guys! Hello from oregon. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Great to watch you explore Australia as I probably would never be able to do so myself.

[@BadlyDubbed]

12:56 Ange in a box

[@frankpristov9745]

Good job guys

[@Exploreyourmind24]

It’s so exciting

[@CaSuMog]

Its an older video, but did you know the german and turkish army actually have a swiveling arm mechanism for the gun outlook ? I am retrofitting one to my civil U1650. It lets the cover go up by 5 cm the it goes sideways by 90 degrees the it goes down to be locked. This way you can have a carrier on top, over it. It seems the cover is the same, handles and locks as well, so my bet is you could retrofit the arm to your car. They are hard to get, about 450 Euros / pce.

[@TheOutFit]

Very interesting. I had no idea! Sounds like an awesome retrofit. How did you go about getting one?

[@CaSuMog]

@@TheOutFit Hi Chris, I need a way to contact you via mail / is that possible ? I can then send pictures and a link to our site etc. We’ve been building our Mog for 8 months now. The archetype of travel outdoor unimogs in Europe I guess is the german army 1300L version, and this has the gun opening with the swivel mechanism, so hereover in germany it is normal to either have the cilivian cab / which features a central square 50x50 air vent opening, or an outside mounted AC block as optional extra, or the military cab with the gun opening with the swivel arm. Another option for civilian cars was a 10 cm higher roof. In fact I never saw the flipover version you have before … the Australian army seems to have saved a dollar or two there :-). My wife wanted to have the gun opening for photo purposes, but we had to buy a (rather rotten) cheap U1650, because military version became very sought-after and are expensive. So we decided to retrofit the gun opening, and I bought parts from ebay and wrecks and so on. There are german companies selling worldwide from parts cars, this is where I found the arm. The cover came from turkey, theres a company reproducing sheet metal and other stuff. The two small handles are crazy expensive when new, I found a set in Austria via ebay, together with the cloth insert plus the counterparts for the handles and the rubber ring. Will make the surrounding steel ring myself. Last months I did a lot of rot repair / both floors, underside beams, rear edges of the cabin. The cabins rot like hell when wet, do yourself a favor and use some cavity grease inside the main beams plus lower doors etc. / the factory seems to have put nothing inside. I saw welding marks in the floor near your driver door where you found the hole behind the rubber so they rot even in Australia.

[@michaelturley1466]

Can’t wait for next week’s episode, looking forward to seeing the new colour. Great job guys.

[@guyfawkes5291]

Do not lick so Chris licks.🤔🤔what could go wrong . 🤣🤣🤣 good to see you guys getting into it 👍👍👍

[@thepatentguru4358]

A little late in commenting...word to the wise, cover all screw holes so the liner material does not get in the holes. If it does, your screw will not fit back into the hole. Also....anywhere you have a window that seals with rubber...avoid liner there. Otherwise, you will have all kinds of leak problems.

[@cyberspooky]

Have a crack yourselves what could possibly go wrong 😎

[@DustyKorpse]

First time I’ve seen a Man vacuuming his Engine bay 👍🏻🤣

[@jonathonrobinson6638]

What a tease I was waiting to see the colour you chose. Lol

[@ozzlemcschnozzle7250]

"oof, bugger" heh

[@chasetherush4206]

I feel like Gun Metal Grey is going to be the colour. just putting it out there

[@pablomax3045]

Any chance to get a soda blaster in there? The rentals should be not too bad and the way they can get that old paint off is orders of magnitude better and faster than my hand.

[@lanceroark6386]

A couple years ago I had to have a chipped windshield changed. When the tech put his suction cups on and tested the seal, the windshield popped out and he about fell off the truck. Apparently the surface wasn’t prepped and the glue didn’t hold the glass on.

[@Hipporider]

I wonder if these old Mogs use lead based paint? 🤔. Good idea with the respirator, though it must be horrible in that heat. 🇦🇺👍🦘🍌

[@reconadventures9257]

Hey guys ... did you know you can get tintable raptor liner that you can make any colour you want it to be ?

[@TheOutFit]

That's exactly what we got :)

[@reconadventures9257]

Ahh good stuff .

[@chevymarioana]

13:33 this is not the german version..but right is..we use the MG luke for the MG :-)

[@TheMudfly80]

Hey man can I ask how tall you are? I was gonna get seats but worried about head room.

[@TheOutFit]

Chris is 1.88m - tight fit!

[@magicalvortex]

It's not a gun hatch guys, it's a bazooka hatch where you launch your bazookas, grenades and small armed missiles from, get it right guys. And now you can also launch your fishing lures from.....

[@TheOutFit]

And spear fish from the shore!

[@magicalvortex]

@@TheOutFit You'll either have to retro-fit a human cannon or an ejecta-seat for that one. Either way your at the right time of the build for that one....

hey guys how much Quieter is the cab now can you chat to each other without yelling?? and Earmuffs

Hey :) we haven't been able to finish the cab as of yet (waiting on our passenger seat base) but once we do we will have an update on a video👍
