[@camsissons7813]

Can't wait to follow along on this build. I am sure your loving the 6x6.

[@drivetheglobe]

Thank you so much. As much as I really liked the last rig this new truck has been awesome so far. Can't really see much room for improvement at this point.

[@JMBdevotee]

Looking forward to this series! Truck looked awesome at Overland East.

[@drivetheglobe]

Thank you! Excited to share.

[@richmumm7288]

[@drivetheglobe]

Thank you.

[@jadefinchscene5644]

so glad you are back. i look forward to the rest of the series. best of luck on the editing.

[@drivetheglobe]

Thanks for the support.

[@Jacked153]

Can't wait for this series of videos. You consistently smash it out the park with every single one of your builds and I bet this one was no different!

[@drivetheglobe]

Thank you. Really appreciate it. Loving this one so far!

[@peterjauch36]

İ am happy to see you again. After a long time.

[@drivetheglobe]

Thank you. Good to be back.

[@cluuck4617]

Look forward to seeing the build and the Toy Hauler edition. Our RV is a 2003 model with the CAT 3126E. Great engine with the turbo @330HP. The HEUI fuel system has know issues, but just keep that oil changed frequently!

[@drivetheglobe]

Thank you. I have heard that too. Will watch it.

[@jaystewart9947]

REALLY looking forward to the coming videos. I really like this platform you use for your trucks.

[@drivetheglobe]

Thank you. It has proven to be a very rugged one.

[@MogsAndDogs]

Thanks for sharing the process with us. Can’t believe you finished it in such a short amount of time. Very impressive.

[@drivetheglobe]

Thank you. It was pretty difficult to be honest. Too short of a time frame to be sane.

[@JamesRiseborough]

Well done, looking forward to the whole project videos. Having fun in Mexico!!!

[@drivetheglobe]

Thank you! Good to be back on the tube.

[@thenaasham]

Need more videos Love from GOD'S OWN COUNTRY❤

[@drivetheglobe]

Thank you for watching. Many more coming.

[@tembotusk]

Wow! This will be an interesting build series! I have seen the end result, so it will be amazing to see what is involved to make something like this happen. The attention to detail is beyond belief!!!

[@drivetheglobe]

Thank you! Hope all is well. Talk soon.

[@silvanus1983]

Awesome video and look forward to many more and you gotta trust a man with crocs😅 I will be looking to your videos as I hopefully next year start on a M1079.

[@drivetheglobe]

Best of luck doing a build. Ha ha, crocs all the way!!

[@KevinDuffy-y1i]

Good for you Mike!! Loving the vids. Hope you come back to The Muddy Chef next summer.

[@drivetheglobe]

Ya never know! Rover is still back east!

[@alphatruckhouse8223]

So funny i was just wondering where you went ? Glad you've made it down to your Fav. spot 🤘 great to have seen you at the expo , a busy time ; that truck build is sooooo COOL. hope our paths cross again , mean while i'll catch your Vids. Happy Holiday Season ~peace~

[@drivetheglobe]

Loving Baja with some down time. See you on the road somewhere I am sure.

[@Bklynborn1_]

Hey Mike, what’s the name of your pet blue jay in the background making all that noise 😂thanks for the share👌🏽👍🏽🖖🏾🙏🏽

[@drivetheglobe]

Ha. I don’t know. But the birds sure were active! Hope all is well.

[@SummitSeeker546]

Niiice! I’m not an overlander but appreciate your passion! That tire doesn’t look that heavy. lol! Curious, how heavy is it?

[@drivetheglobe]

I think the wheel and tire combo probably weigh around 300 pounds.

[@CurtisDrew1]

Saw some sneak peeks of it while you were at the Expo. With the extra space you are never going to want tp pay for a hotel room again. Glad you stuck with the orange exterior paint scheme. Been tempted to do my 34 year old Class A RV in orange when I get to that part of the remodel/ rebuild. But I think my 37 foot big girl will look like an Allied Van Lines moving truck if I went orange on it.

[@drivetheglobe]

Ha ha. That might be true at 37 feet!

[@urgentcareguy3]

The wall insulation on the box looks to be about 1". Is that about right?

[@drivetheglobe]

The wall insulation is actually 2 inches thick. The ceiling and floor are more.

[@derJackistweg]

With a nice 8$ per Gallo Diesel here in Europe you will judge the vehicle choice differently, I guess. + road toll of course.

[@drivetheglobe]

I don’t think so. Europe is a small anomaly.

[@derJackistweg]

Europe = small? near 600 Million people. Prices in Africa are not so different with some exceptions - but all are more expensive than the US. Same if you go from here to Japan via land.@@drivetheglobe

[@MOLIN4F4MILY]

Nice my wife and I been waiting to see the build process and since you in Baja just in case puerto Nuevo has some really great lobsters 🦞 😁 be safe

[@drivetheglobe]

Have to check that out. Thanks for tuning in.
