L15 Dashboard housing with ATOTO S8 head unit install and tour. Leviathan Overlanding project

[@rasmusljungdahl3238]

Hope all is well! Looking forward every day to your next episode. Always makes my day to se your progress and or reflections. Greetings from Sweden!

[@BuilderCreator]

Every spring my workload skyrockets, but never fear I have been working on the vehicles and will have videos up soon.

[@jd.1150]

That's great Jay. It's about time you get some stuff for your channel free. I'm tired off all the fluff channels getting these things, and a channel like yours with real substance not:)

[@BuilderCreator]

Well, I have been offered lots of free stuff. Most of it is stuff you do not want to see . . . it's bad enough having to watch KZbin adds. :( by the way thanks for the $.0035 if you sit through the adds. Ha!

[@cpear760]

Nice to see the ATOTO brand has better offerings. That or I was missing their better stuff. Thanks for the link - I'll have to pick one up.

[@supdus]

Alright - Today is the day that i say im ready for a new video update - hope all is well and looking forward to your next video drop

You forgot the cup holders 👀🤯. I'm sure you can use an engine monitoring software as well with that head unit. Looking good. Can't wait to see progress.

[@BuilderCreator]

Perhaps some swinging cup-holders from the Marine supply store? There is a Bluetooth OBD app installed, just need a Bluetooth OBD sender

[@wayne9518]

The passenger will have a cup holder at the end of each arm.

[@mopedmarathon]

Loving your projects and content. Keep up the great work. It’s great to see someone living their dreams (even if there are nightmares along the way)!

[@BuilderCreator]

Much better than living the nightmare with a few dreams along the way. Ha!

[@54mgtf22]

The Atoto S8 is a brilliant unit. I replaced a Sony AX5000 with it. Huge improvement. Love your work 👍

[@BuilderCreator]

Doesn't that S8 take up all the leg room in your MG. Ha! We will give this unit a good testing. The brilliant part is their using an existing Android tablet for the face. A bespoke face would have driven the price of this thing out of site.

@@BuilderCreator No, it’s in my Leviathan. (Suzuki Vitara) 😀

[@millygoring766]

Hi, I'm from Britain and love watching the processes you take to do things correctly, I may be late to the game but I don't usually look at the comment section. I just wondered what you thought of the young kids in Thailand that have built a Bugatti veyron in white from scratch and also shells for a la Ferrari and a Pagani, I appreciate they are not safe on the road but for what they started with and the tools and conditions they are working in the talent they have blows my mind and if they can do that with what they have imagine what they could do with some good tools and equipment,just wondered what your opinion is? keep up the outstanding work sir.

[@BuilderCreator]

I think it is the most fantastic thing in the world that these social media platforms have given these motivated and talented young men a way to make a good living in a country were they would normally only have limited opportunity. Just as you mentioned, I'm amazed at what they can do with such limited resources, as well. It will be interesting to see what they do as they start to buy some good equipment and materials. (like a welding mask. Ha!) Give them a tig welder and an English wheel and in ten years they will be a true manufacturer. Thanks for watching BuilderCreator - the old guy with the tools and resources, who needs to step up his game. Ha!

[@SomeBoredGuy69]

I was a bit disappointed when you first announced that you would be splitting your time between the Leviathan and the Arete. The Arete is why I subscribed to the channel. But.... I am now getting excited about this project. I am excited for the day we can see it out on the water motoring along!👍

[@BuilderCreator]

I'm glad your catching the vision. Trying to add more time to the projects rather than split my time so that you can have your cake (Arete) and eat it to (Leviathan).

[@lvn968]

Looks all great ! Appreciate you being open about sponsordeals / offers, unfortunately too many KZbin Channels try to talk people into stuff

[@BuilderCreator]

Oh! don't let your guard down, I may still yet try to talk you into buying something. Ha!

[@davidgoff5883]

Hope you're well I keep losing for your new videos

[@davidgoff5883]

Looking

[@BuilderCreator]

Sorry for the bit of a dry spell on videos, but that doesn't mean the work has stopped! Videos soon!

[@acykablyatley]

I liked the part with the welding (and not the infotainment system) !

[@billmeldrum2509]

Crazy cool project. 🇨🇦

[@clydecox2108]

Pretty awesome

Very Cool

[@aeris-mo]

Going to be awesome, great job :D

[@andrewmullen4003]

Hi I hope everything is ok, not heard from your channel in a couple of months, take care.

[@UnityFAN]

Cool!

[@anomamos9095]

You’ve probably already thought of this but finding a cab over truck and borrowing the controls etc from it would save hassle in repurposing standard controls.

[@BuilderCreator]

I have a friend who is a "cab-over" fanatic. He is the one who pointed me to the steering gear box I will be using.

[@philiprogers5772]

How the heck did you design all that in auto cad? I've been watching your playlist from the beginning and I'm blown away.

[@BuilderCreator]

Well, thanks for the binge watching, you just gave me points with the algorithm. ;)

[@Shenanigans3D]

Be mindful of those units. The screens like to delaminate from temperature changes. I'm 4 months into my second one and it's starting to separate already. My car is garage kept.

[@BuilderCreator]

I'll keep an eye on it . . .perhaps a "one year later" video?

[@lvn968]

Wonder how you're doing ? You seem to have taken a break ? Hope all is well ?!

[@BuilderCreator]

Doing well. No breaks for the weary! it will all culminate in more videos soon. ;)

[@jd.1150]

Hi Jay. Haven't seen a video for awhile. Is everything ok?

[@denis9450]

Looking great do you have single vehicle tests like we do in the UK? Its a nightmare hear you cannot have sharp edges in the cab or possible impact ares outside they have to have certain radios to everything including believe it or not any nuts underneath the car that someone's head may hit when you run them over they sell plastic domed nut covers to put on all the nuts crazy

[@BuilderCreator]

Yeah! Sorry officer but the tire ran over their head . . . . but they didn't get snagged on any bolts hanging down blow the car!

[@benpease4497]

With all the cameras on the vehicle, are there any plans to set them up with a way to automatically save recent footage in the event of an accident?

[@BuilderCreator]

Yep, they have accelerometer crash, video save features, plus exterior hard drive connection for extended storage lengths.

[@davethedog007]

What's your plan with controls while your on the water? Just wondering if you were going to use the same steering wheel and accelerator pedal for the water drive, or are you going for a more conventional hand throttle? What about the procedure between land and water mode, I mean will it be seamless or will there be a time for extra buoyancy and the outboards to be deployed?

[@BuilderCreator]

Conventional hand throttle. Slow transition to amphibious mode. It will be a we hull and cool down of drive-train likely needed. Will likely have outriggers to deploy (depending on water conditions/Safety). Still lots to consider and design, as some things may change after I find the true corner weights and such.

[@Unknown-tu2lr]

Hey Sir ,is this car Rwd🙏 please reply

[@BuilderCreator]

hi are those pedals close to the seat

[@BuilderCreator]

That's what this episode was part of; verifying the seats, pedals and control access where correct. The seats are 4 way adjustable electric out of a Cadillac.

SWC won't works with your steering... I had the wiring diagram on different models of cars and different unit and... it never works... Good luck with SWC!

[@BuilderCreator]

I will not be using them, but the instructions show that they exist for the unit. I'm sure it is like all "universal" systems . . . Hit and Miss!

[@mayor_azusastreetriders3790]

The swc on the atoto are very easy to get going on any steering wheel that offers them. Once you have the correct signal wire connected, the atoto unit swc is programmable/customizable.

[@HowDareYouu]

nice but i would not want to crash in this

[@More_Row]

It's not done yet. Silly.

Better than being in the Smart Car going under. Ha!

[@bewernia]

Where's the climate control? Or will you rely on the ATOTO?

[@BuilderCreator]

Half under the floor and half in the dash assembly. It will be in the way of the cab placement so yo will not see it until the cab is permanently bolted in place. The ATOTO will just make you feel warm and fuzzy!
