I'll be honest I'm not a fan of the game or their ads personally but if they're willing to let you shoutout another company like carparts the way you did, mad respect to Raid. I've never seen a sponsored video include another brand shoutout without the channel reminding you profusely that the other company didnt sponsor the video.

[@cadenkrieger475]

Instead of fender flares, you could put ram TRX fenders on their, that would be cool.

Wow. Blown away at how great the front end looks. And now that you've got the back fabrication mostly done, this thing should come together pretty quick! Great work!

[@dianetigert1310]

can't wait until the GVWR is revealed.

[@RealRickCox]

@@macbook802 Not sure why you think that. Chris has shown the drawings of what he planned for the inside of the back. And for the most part, Chris finishes the builds he starts. The exceptions were "Lenora" (stolen by lawsuit) and we haven't seen the boat finished. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now... but so far, it looks promising.

[@MegaUrbanMonkey]

When are you getting Oscar a plasma cutting fab table. Poor lad deserves one for all the incredible fab work he does. Imagine what he could do with one of those at his disposal.

[@darionerat3671]

Hi guys. Buy a spoter machine and pull out hat door line in metal. Fiberglass filler will start to crack if he is tick. In 6 months, it will be catastrophic.

[@MrThumperTDC]

Bushwhacker is a Portland company, you might be able to see if they would donate a set for the build.

No flares! That’s my vote. Truck looks amazing.

[@chrischioffe2725]

Bushwhacker fender flares are the best

[@CrappyCar]

One thing that always worries me about front-end rebuilds is crash protection. The front of the truck is designed to collapse a certain way to protect passengers, and any other cars involved. I've done a front-end swap before, and luckily we were able to keep all the stock parts, to maintain the original crumple zones. I hope it never comes to this, but something to think about. Stay safe out there, and amazing work on blending the new and old body lines!

[@sklyrovka]

It's a 2005 domestic truck, you can't make it any worse than it already is

[@nathanielscholtens2812]

The B is for build crew has been doing body swaps for years, and they always make them as safe as they can

[@aznkid100]

@@nathanielscholtens2812 and that is not safe at all.. they do their best to not get into an accident.

[@ghomerhust]

in this instance, the bow that oscar put in those forward facing pipes will flex out like a crumple zone. the frame itself still retains it's factory crumple zones, they just sectioned on another bit of OEM frame there. in a front on collision, im betting it will react not too different from a factory dodge nose. it would be cool to do stuff like that and crash test them tho, to see how different it actually is

[@thatmaverickguy859]

​@@nathanielscholtens2812 no tube fronts are two strong for a street vehicle because in a race application there meant to deflect the car off the wall at high speeds normal car front ends aren't so it's just a hazard

[@dirty5.h091]

Wild...

Trent & Allie just sold their first Mountain Made Van.... These projects are SO COOL. Thanks for sharing this.

First to also praise your work, it's really coming along and as many have said before me Oscar is a fantastic fabricator! Regarding recommendations for Fender Flares - Fab Fours or something similar would look very good with the angular nature of the habitat.

[@zahidarifi7848]

I have got one question Since this camper van is heavier than the original and extra supports were added which stiffened the car overall, doesn’t that make the car more dangerous during a crash as it has a smaller crumple zone with larger momentum. Just wanted to know how you would address this.
