Jeep Truck Revival and Fabrication for The Unreal Adventure Ep.2

[@ghomerhust]

i only recently found dave on youtube after not seeing him or fred for several years, and im blown away by how fast the quality of videos is jumping. at about the same time i found tony angelo and david freiburger. so now im getting lots of offroad and roadkill style content where the kickback from my views goes directly to those people. and i LIKE that.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Oh man. You’re gonna be busy on here for a while!!

[@Trae387]

Dude the quality of the videos are getting amazing! Keep it up.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thank you. Thats all Cameron. We work on a handful of videos a year together

​@@thedirtheadshedThat's the main thing I want to comment on also. Definitely noticing a different vibe to the filming quality and seeing the editing improvements. 👍

[@gregferreira2894]

I just started watching this show regularly. I’ve been watching hot rod build shows for over 25 years, Dave is at the top. To watch him break down this Jeep and reconstruct the rear in to an independent truck bed. It was great to see how he designed the bed and wheel openings as he went along, thinking of the obstacles. His skills and quality of work are fantastic. Just great to watch such talent in action.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks so much

[@ChristhompsonDG]

It brings me joy to see this thing not look like it used to. I had a deep hate for the double end look even though it was unique and different. Now it’s just a sick rig and not a sickening rig.

[@thedirtheadshed]

It was funky, but it was a great starting point

[@RCJesus420]

That's coming out way cooler than it was. I can't wait to see how it does on Unreal Adventure when those videos start coming out.

[@thedirtheadshed]

They roll out soon. Hopefully it shows up in some of the official videos

Dave, you are one of the best fabricators that I know of. You take what's roaming around in your mind and make some of the best stuff, no matter where it goes on the vehicle.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks so much. It’s a pretty fun process

[@bobbolieu9013]

@@thedirtheadshed I won't say that you make it look easy. But you show us that it's doable

[@anthonycrumb9810]

Dave, you are so good, yet so humble and unassuming. I learn a ton from watching your fab work. I liked the videos in the past when it was just you and a camera, now the video quality is way up recently and I like them even more. You must have hired someone to film and or edit for you, just keep up with the great content and we will keep loving it. Maybe use a piece of wire or brake line bent to the fender and transfer it to the tube.

I only have camera and editing help on a handful of videos a year. I’lll be back to just me soon

Thats pretty handy bender. Truck bed already looks so good.

It does help out for some of these projects

[@chuckhardin1425]

That perfect weld sound captured 👌👏

[@thedirtheadshed]

The welder was dialed in this week

[@paintucation]

Great stuff Dave!!! Your design process is so practical. Easy to understand for complex stuff. I'm hooked!

[@brockness7133]

Watching this with a buddy and we are like 17 min into it, with the direction you are going I’d recommend doing the spare tire as a stand up in the drivers side front corner of the bed so it doesn’t obstruct your view from the drivers seat and also doesn’t take up as much real estate in the back of the bed

[@thedirtheadshed]

It would hit the tire.

[@michaelmahin7362]

Love ya Andy best to you and family look forward to whenever you wanna come back

[@thedirtheadshed]

I’ll let Andy know

[@chrisrobinson8937]

I really appreciate your acknowledging the fact that water gets into places. There are a lot of people building a lot of things, and I never hear anyone talk about that stuff. I live in Michigan, so seam sealers, weather stripping, rust, corrosion, etc always has to be considered.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Yep! This is a lot of work. I’d rather not do it twice!

[@d100dodgepw]

Awesome work! For years I've considered cutting the roof off my XJ bed hind the rear doors and doing a tire carrier similar to this at the the same I do the cage, and this episode is VERY motivating. Off to order Rear frame stiffeners and tube!

[@thedirtheadshed]

Do the cage right and you don’t need the frame stiffeners. Thats just a bunch of extra weight to haul around

[@benjones3329]

Hey Dave, I’m in Northern Michigan and I just winched a 1947 Willys Jeep on my trailer for 1000 bucks thanks to info from you and Derrick from vice grip. I’m hoping to have her running tomorrow. It’s rougher than a corn cob, but it’ll still be fun

[@thedirtheadshed]

Oh man.. I hope it gots smooth for you!! Those are cool trucks

[@ghomerhust]

thats still a flat fender isnt it? im not great on old jeep eras. super cool build!

[@benjones3329]

Editing and music for KZbin wow getting really good

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks, I try to do a handful of nicely edited videos a year

[@bsterris1615]

Running your brake loose, kinda works. It is better to 'pack' your brake to make a larger radius. Nice job!

[@thedirtheadshed]

Not enough adjustment on this one to add a radius piece in there

[@s7courier]

I am excited to watch and hear Dave work through his creative process for designing the rear trunk bed iteratively in free space from his mind to reality without a computer model. Great work Dave.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks so much. Yeah I’m lost on a computer

When you look at the time, effort, skill and money that goes into a Kibbe or Morgan Clarke Trophy truck build, as far as welding is concerned, months and months are spent. Not to take away from those guys, they're designing a vehicle from scratch. Suspension points etc. But what you have been able to accomplish in a few days with that bed is incredible .

Seems like the spare tire laying flat will take up a lot of your bed space in the name of looking cool. I guess you can always pile gear on top of it, but who wants to have to unpack everything to change a tire? I think I would have gone for a vertical mount instead, but this will still be cool.
