Dry Cool! Like your Music!

[@davidcolesr.8628]

FlyTrap is a Perfect Name for that Beauty, Well Done Ma’am, Thank You Kindly for having us along. The Pleasure is Truly all Our’s.

[@bulldogstrut1]

That was a beautiful photo montage especially the one in the sunset. Awesome.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks!

[@sergey.l]

More videos of you (maybe together with your Minister of Internal Affairs, whose beautiful helpful hands we previously had an honor to see) riding your jewels to that African forest scenery of yours are just as welcome as those from your good shop!

[@stucook8622]

You have to keep the Minister happy for self preservation. Thanks for another great video Div! 🍺

[@ratrodsafrica]

😂 Yes

[@RaysLaughsAndLyrics]

In the same boat as you this week Diff. Tree trimming, roofing an out building and small engine maintainence. Always pours never trickles. Thanks for the update on your GM Advance Design Flytrap. Your wife is a Gem.. You are fortunate to have such a great manager. All the best🏁

[@bradtrepus5775]

Furniture polish works great and you get a fresh lemon smell too.

[@donaldhalls2189]

Great job on the car wash,thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones, have a Lekka one

[@robbollom7396]

well done Div, yes all these cool vehicles need to be maintained, GO THE FLYTRAP...

[@garrysgarage1958]

Good to see the ole fly trap again … looking pretty good!

[@EarlyIronAddict427]

Flytrap is a good name for the old Chevy. The story of were it came from even better. Love that truck. That’s when I came to find your forest workshop and loving every video since. You sir could video all of your maintenance chores and I’d enjoy turning in to come along just as well. Peace ✌🏻

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks man🙂

[@eddiealford3579]

Mr Duff yes I watched your build of fly trap very cool build I always enjoy your videos and can't wait to see further building of the Hudson but till next time 👍👍👍👍

[@ratrodsafrica]

Awesome thank you!🙂

[@thornwarbler]

Rust never sleeps. I bet you're pleased😉

[@The.Real.Reaper]

I remember Flytraps build. Nice to see her get some attention now and then. Enjoyed this video as always.

[@kennethstaszak9990]

Those were some great artistic photos of the truck!

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thank you!

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

I know what you mean being the only one doing building and property maintenance. When all our kids were still at home, my motto was: "I have five people breaking, and only one guy fixing"! The old Chevy cleaned up real good!

[@mikejackman4416]

Fly trap came out awesome the night time pictures just show her off

[@torquealleygarage]

Lookout Div, that other driver was on the wrong side of the road! 😂

[@terrencebuller7676]

Greetings Div, Flytrap is looking mighty fine. 👌 Have a Lekka day Boet. 👍👍👍

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks! 👍

[@thenotsojollyrancher-akate9516]

I too am the utilities at the ranch. Takes up my time from important stuff like building stuff that’s cool! I empathize!🤪

[@ratrodsafrica]

Exactly!!😄

[@alchemymotorsports]

It's always cool to see you go back to previous builds. I enjoyed watching Flytrap come together when you built it. The Nissan hard body was known as a D21. The 720 is the previous body with 4 headlights. I love 720s. I've owned like 7 of them, currently halfway through building a quad cab which annoyingly they never sold in the US.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks for the info🙂

[@dragontattooee]

Fly trap is one of the first times I found you Div, it has a special place in my heart. Hope it never gives you trouble Boet and makes you smile when you look at it. Have a lekka one Div

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks man. Yeah I like the old truck

[@dougstaner1220]

well done. always a pleasure to see the show

[@stevenmacinnis418]

Hello from Saint John New Brunswick Canada .Great build ..love it

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks!

[@StevenStratford]

Loved this episode..thanks will check out the build on this..thanks

[@petemurray7749]

I just recently found your channel. I love your teaching, expertise and knowledge to build things. You make it simple and easy to follow. Nothing complicated. Since I'm a mechanic of 54 years I'm now like you just building things. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks and welcome to my shop!🙂

[@morneviljoen6733]

Howzit Div Fly trap looks lekka 👍🌽 Have a blessed week a head🙌

[@bruceslattengren8587]

The fly trap is rad love that truck

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Dif 👍👌👏 Nice bushman repair job! I watched the whole building series of this fantastic and unique rat rod. Since then I'm totally addicted to your channel. 2) A 4 cylinder with 2.4 l isn't a small engine at all. I bet it's quite torquey, eh? 3) Yeah, you're absolutely right. Even expensive stuff from well known brands seem to have obsolescence built in. Maybe better buy yourself an older but sturdy steam pressure washer!? Or, even better, build yourself a common pressure washer. I bet that you are able to find useable components in scrapyards. I would definitely love to see the worlds first rat rod style pressure washer! 😁 ;-) Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to you, your wife and the pets.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks. Yeah, the engine is quite torquey. It's perfectly good enough. As for building a pressure washer, life's too short, got more important things to do!😄

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

@@ratrodsafrica Thanks for replying and especially for giving a heart to my comment. As you know, I always and totally appreciate both very much. 2) Yeah, I can see your point, you're right of course. Maybe it's more important to try to fix bad devices and to be totally annoyed by them than building a sturdy and reliable device yourself!? 👅😋😛😝😜 😁 ;-) You already build some great tools. But okay, Sir, it's of course your decision. I hope that you will be able to find a better product respectively an older and reliable pressure washer. Sincerely yours.

[@aceadman]

Flytrap is a great name for the truck! The Minister’s got a nice touch. 😁 I’m glad to see the old builds making re-appearances. She’s a beauty for sure. Thanks man, as always! 😊👍👍

[@ratrodsafrica]

Yeah, I also thought she picked a great name. I guess there's a good reason why she is the minister!😂

[@aceadman]

@@ratrodsafrica wish we could say the same of all the other interior ministers. 😆

[@robertstevison1448]

Awesome morning brother from another country another awesome adventure with my brother as always !!! Maintenance is part of living brother !!! You are my inspiration to keep going !!! Hope yall are having an awesome day !!! Keeping Ole iron going keeps us going lol !!! We also need a little Maintenance every now and then lol

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Those night shots of Flytrap are stunning, beautifully done Sir

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thank you!

[@peterwoodward8205]

[@davidcolesr.8628]

Good To See You Duff

Awesome brother from another country hope yall have a lekka one brother

[@maryfinchum9741]

Great job Dif

[@manfredschmalbach9023]

Found Your channel when looking at the airhammer contraption U-tup recommended. Instant subscription. Nice cars, nice creative approach, nice "doesn't work does not exist" bush-mechanic attitude. Thanks for putting in the effort to film, edit and share all that! All the best to You, wherever You might be in particular!

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks for the sub and welcome to my shop! I live on a small farm near Mossel Bay in South Africa.

[@thecoffeejack]

Very fun build. I love it.

[@TheOldaz1]

Looks like a new one!!😉

[@GUE5TPA55]

[@RichardBerry-v5i]

Nice truck

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Cheers Div!!! Enjoyed catching up with ya in this video!! I remember watching you build the Flytrap from start to finish, but still enjoyed a refresher. great stuff!!! Maybe in a later video you could line up all your creations/builds in a big area outside and give us the walk around of em all. What eye candy 🍬 that would be!!! See ya in the next one boet!! Have a lekka one!!

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks boet. You won't believe it, but I have exactly the same idea! Maybe a celebration video when I make 25k subs...

[@DustyMacsGarage]

@@ratrodsafrica Thats a great idea for a 25k subs celebration boet!!!! 😃

[@NickManCuso59]

My dad used linseed oil on the exterior of his wood shed. Worked very well. He used an old hand pump type bug sprayer to apply it.

[@zweihammerheavyind.2911]

Nice art shots out in bush! I first found you early in this truck’s build. You were at 7k subs then, glad to see you getting more followers. I know I look forward to your Sunday morning visits, and get concerned if you aren’t there. Hudson looks like your best work, yet.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks man!

[@strangecustoms8486]

I hated that deck when you started building it lol but it does look better patinaed jury is still out. Sub are growing great good to see

[@alanpaulick7815]

Fly trap is a lekka name for a lekka truck. Hopefully all good with you boet and keep on making rust.

[@ratrodsafrica]

All good, thanks brother. Stay safe

[@crazywickedcustoms7272]

I love it , fly trape cool truck

[@jodycopeland1]

Looking good diff

[@giliamverster2004]

I love your channel.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thank you!

[@steptowdaughters2633]

That was a nice detour Div,with a cameo appearance from the Fly-trap.The night shots were a nice touch. Any chance of some more cameos, when you've been flat out like a lizard drinking and not working on the current creations. Keep up the good work ol son.Thank you and Cheers.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks man. Yeah might do some more "cameo" stuff in the future 🙂

[@VAbow78]

Looks great, would also like to see update on f100

[@billyshears9918]

If your pressure washer simply won't start, try to locate the pressure switch. Give that a good tap or to. Worked for me when my pressure washer went out of order.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks. I gave that thing lots of taps. In the end, rather hard ones too😄

[@martinmurphy3868]

Great stufc Diff

[@robames1293]

My electric pressure washer is dead until you press the trigger. This operates a pressure switch allowing the pump to turn on

[@ratrodsafrica]

Yes, this one is the same. No luck though

[@shanewright6958]

Truck is still looking good 👍👍

[@hoagiesherlin7732]

I love that truck 2kool man

[@usmc.39rat24]

I really enjoy your videos, I like the mixture of donor vehicles that you use. I just acquired a 4x4 toyota that I plan on putting under a vw bug. Thanks for broadening my imaginations possibilities

[@ratrodsafrica]

That sounds like fun! Enjoy the build!

[@apere003]

very cool truck brother

[@flatworm00]

I think the Flytrap is a cool truck! Would be proud to own it!!

[@DonCatherman]

Another great episode Diff... Howzit ... Have a lekka one my friend...

[@ratrodsafrica]

[@1953beetle]

Who said that you need a decent paint job? Love the patina(and the pick-up).

[@stuffdexdoes223]

New intro 😊

[@normanmeador7956]

I think you should build that motor driven pressure washer.Kind of a side project.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Too many projects...😄

[@hermanprinsloo]

One!

[@grahamrowley-n7k]

Looks like you are a fellow fan of bespoke body works.

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

👍😊

[@thenotsojollyrancher-akate9516]

I think you should consider fancy grates in the open holes under the hood. It bothers me greatly.😂

[@kevinvaughn8694]

How about some flytrap lips?

[@ratrodsafrica]

You are not the only one that wants to see some grates 🙂

[@ericg303]

I understand the maintenance thing. I always say if your bored by a house in the country there is always something that needs attention.

I was good to see the truck again ! Dude ! Those are some awesome still photos ! Did you do the photography?

[@ratrodsafrica]

No, they were taken by a professional photographer. Didn't cost me anything though. He wanted to add to his portfolio, so we made a little deal🙂

[@nom8er]

Hi Div. Die vol skirt met slitte met die sweeping lyne op die agter wiele lyk baie mooi. Ek sel voor jy sit ñ skirt op die voor wiele met reg uit lyne.

[@mozzaarmpit9096]

Very talented the fly trap is very photogenic. do you have tough vehicle warrant of fitness like in New Zealand. We arent allowed to build such things unless its done with expensive certification. would love to build one.

[@ratrodsafrica]

This is Africa mate, there is freedom within chaos🙂 Plus we are good at dodging rules😅

[@mozzaarmpit9096]

New Zealand was like that 20 years ago. I miss the old place 🙂@@ratrodsafrica

[@stephenbrown571]

Betcha that 4 cylinder has more horsepower than the original inline 6. 😂😂

[@ratrodsafrica]

Haha, true!

[@bart9859]

You was just adding Rat Rod characrer to your plate holder on the front of Fly Trap.

[@littlepaddy7444]

Fly Trap is holding up well. Have you put much mileage on it? thanks see ya next video.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Been driving her quite a bit yeah. She's a fun ride🙂

[@yolocah]

if you add a product called JAPAN DRYER to your linseed oil it won't be as tacky ,so less of your road dust won't get a free ride.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Boiled linseed oil already contains Japan dryer and does not stay tacky.

[@mynameis63]

An alternative to tossing that shitbox washer into the river, is finding a deserted highway...getting up to speed...and launching that mutha fukr off the back of a truck...hashtag...good clean fun. lol

[@ratrodsafrica]

Yeah man! I really like that plan! 😁

[@jodycopeland1]

How do you know when it is clean?

[@ratrodsafrica]

When the farm dust is gone😄

[@davidweidner1675]

Lekka Div

Before You throw that pressure washer in the river, save the parts You could use in the future.

You really should wear some gloves when you're welding. In 50 years. You might end up with blotchy skin.🤨 Cheers buddy from the PNW Seattle WA USA. Kidding about the gloves.😎
