True Community…building and sharing…Chad Fab Team…you bring Alot (😜) To the Table…the Stance, Wheelbase, Structure and SIZE….look forward to GriZ in Action👊🇺🇸👊

Grizila looks awesome! That body style gets me every time! I wanna cry knowing I sold my '69 back in the day and even sadder I sold a '72 that I had about 2 years ago to a youngin that was "supposed" to be dong a rebuild project with his dad to find out later he sold it shortly after. Oh well, guess I'll never learn. Thank you for sharing and hope all have a blessed week.

Raise the platform above the exhaust and put the wrench on it and make the space under it as a soft shackle space.

[@pgg0024]

The tailgate story happened to me as well. My mom stopped by to borrow my truck while i was at work. Unhooked the gooseneck, didn't drop the tailgate, and drove off.

[@chadsfab]

😔 bet she felt awful. And the sound/jolt when that gooseneck hits the tailgate 🥴😵‍💫

Great video, and the new camera operator is doing great! Shots are clear and steady!

[@alexkaring]

Might have to do some CAD building to give you some ideas for the rear. Sometimes the best way to find the right design is by looking at cardboard mock-up to find the direction it needs to go in, or at least finding what direction you definitely don't want to go.

[@Bigjimcowboy]

Love the time you take for a quality build!

[@dscottgillett]

I have built so many projects in my dreams it’s ridiculous, I know exactly where your coming from.

Love the Grizila license plate. The bed is coming along. Step at a time!

I suggest a front protective bumper (roll bar like law enforcement) instead of the original looking one you have that has already sustained some damage. Enjoy your videos. 👍🏽

Chad love your channel, need a little favour, can you talk to the folk at Onx and tell them to come to Australia as we need it here. Thanks and just remember when you clean the vacuum cleaner, you become the vacuum cleaner!

[@Westerntraveler]

I absolutely love the Scout can't wait to see what it becomes

[@RLee-zs1ds]

To resolve so of the heat problems with the exhaust. Build some ducting which directs air onto the exhaust pipe, same way as Super cars direct air away from the wheel cavities. Or put a larger pipe around the exhaust pipe and insulate between the pipes.

[@wademacmillan8650]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT TRUCK GREAT BUILD CHAD

[@brihno360]

FYI- I have one of those Harbor Freight ZXR 9500 winches on my truck and it's right around 21 inches long. plus it's a bit lower profile

[@stephenpoe2037]

You can barley hear the Swamp Cooler. it's ok ! Good video . Lots of improvements ! Thanks for sharing !

[@lyndonwortley6329]

Chad, as far as I know you should be abe to kit a kit to move the winch motor to the top of the winch housing and some winches are built that way from the outset. Without the motor to the side of the winch drum you will be better able to place your side winches. I'm in the UK and I think a company called Gigglepin makes kits for Warn winches - have a look for inspiration and then find something closer to home.

[@bjpbuildingconstruction]

Use an exhaust hanger from that rect tube for the winch base.

[@laurence1643]

G I went into withdrawal, not having my weekly "fix" of Chad's Fab last week !!!! I really like the finish work you do on your projects !

[@LimestoneCoastCustoms]

Just a thought Chad, Why don't you shorten the drum on the winch?? Obviously you'll lose a little rope length but probably no big deal?

[@enjoyingretirement4846]

Love the paint color.

[@peterattwill4419]

Hey chat and family...I was looking at the latest video and was thinking about back mud guards maybe some of those extruded plastic like what's on most semi's as far as know they make also in singles....keep up the great work guys and be safe.😊

[@offroad6309]

Love to see you working on the grizz. Looking forward to seeing you out using it. Curious to see how you plan on dealing with heat from the exhaust that close to the winches and how you will make make access to the free wheel knobs? Not sure how deep the winchs will be in the boxes and if you will need to put the fairlead out away from the winches? No doubt you will be creative

[@mrfunnylookinhayes9088]

You have to add some black and orange to that boom. Since the new plates ( Which I love the new name) are black.

[@OpieDogie]

So the fender radias’ are “zackly the same septin one’s different” great work as always! Thanks for posting!

[@brucegenest7012]

You might consider planting some trees along the road to soften the traffic noise. Love your videos!

[@birddog435]

I know it would be a ton of work, but you should take apart one of the Badlands 1200 winches and shorten the barrel. You might have a little bit less line. But it would be a way to have all the same. And you have custom build the whole truck. So why not customize the winches.

[@bobtucker8875]

From my point of view 😜 here in the recliner. Everything looks amazing 🤩. Keep up the great work 💪.

It may help to consider what you're going to keep in the boxed area of each space to help create the shape of the space.

[@edkeefer4950]

Good shot

[@stan525]

My vote is to move the exhaust to the rear of the wheel giving you more room for the 23 inch badland wench, it will also lessen the cab noise

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Those areas are looking great. Some people don't realize that there's No ordering panels as nothing is what is was, and they wouldn't function the ways you want anyway. (If I were working on that corner,it'd still be blank.The squirrel in my wheel has a limp;)

Love you guys and the channel. I watch everything y'all put out and truly enjoy it! Now, why not run that exhaust out the rear like God intended and then mount whatever winch you want, where you want?? Sometimes we cripple ourselves...

[@raystevens687]

Here is an Idea how making plat of steel that is high as the batterys that way will alot more room for the wench you will need to use thicker steel maybe at least a half inch that way you can pull something that is in the 9,000 weight. Good luck.
