Use some heat shrink tubing to quiet the hook part of the table hooks

[@Shawn-wt4kh]

"Yanchorage, Alaska" lol

[@19brian55]

Had a big off just over a week ago and had mangled my hamstring, won’t be back on the bike for a couple of months, so feeling really pissed off…..and then, found your channel! I have now got purpose again and it’s keeping me stoked until I’m back on the bike. Thanks from Australia👍

[@Nardexmtbwalk]

The camper van upgrade is awesome thank you for sharing good job Bryan!

[@traderryan713]

Yep yep, agree. It never ends, whether van build or hot rod. Those are some nice upgrades! I just took mine out for 1st test/ride local trip. Ready for this season. Built rig, Half prepped bikes, half prepped self. We gonna send er.

[@BikeLifewithRob]

Brush guard and lights for off-road

[@ritaweygint4038]

Wow, you are a hard worker! Great job!

[@juancarlossznak2326]

Nice Job Brian. You should spray paint black your rims. I did it with my van, really cheap and gave a really co look. Also some of that tape on the table will help, that way the hook won't mess with your table and the tape will end at the bottom.

[@VoIPPortland]

Headlights LED - yes I had to glue them in but that was five years ago and no issues. Nice, bright white LEDs.

[@TheJanvicgwaps]

I enjoy your POV rides but i enjoy these DIY projects more..haha keep em coming

[@The_GreenMachine]

that 3M rubber tape is AWESOME!!!! great for bike protection too, easily molds around curves and really durable and sticky

[@tambosnipes1652]

I told this to him like 3 years ago on one of gis older videos

[@tf.2903]

Mount the button right above the on/off switch for your air compressor. You could drill through the plastic for the gauge and wouldn't be doing anything permanent to the van itself.

[@twebb726]

Just put your rubber tape on the underside of the table that is rattling so you don't have to use the towels. I use that stuff for weight bench, etc. Works great.

[@markkloczko9469]

Can’t wait to see SARAH again Good work mate 👍

[@darightcoast1912]

I love you watch "Are you Garbage". They are so funny.

[@buckleberry]

Van video's, love them! Did you wash it already? 😆

[@treasuresurfer720]

Thank you for the video. Love your sense of humor. Would a 30” light bar fit across the brush guard’s cross bar?

[@joshb3523]

"Fully Engineered Solution" hehe nice upgrades.

[@jimlawmtb6892]

Find a piece of rubber fuel line to put over the hooks that hold the table and that should stop rattling and damage

[@flemming_j_]

Bend the hooks in, and a little piece Of that tape on the end Of the hook.

[@mtbville]

Nice 👍

[@djmer28]

I wish you would have showed how you installed the upper support. Did you have to drill into the frame or did you use the dowels?

[@sdy284]

pro tip: wear some eye pro when working under your vehicle. Nothing ruins your day like rusty metal flakes in your eye

[@arthurlange8817]

Add one of those switches so that you can have a BBC tone in the van for soft lighting.

[@jacobjanuary6666]

Looks like you did some garage upgrades as well. Maybe I missed that video a while ago. Anyway, the van looks good. P.S. dodge vehicles all have crummy lights.

[@mitchwarren1600]

Good ole Dad ✊️

[@draffish5661]

Couple pieces of rubber pipe slid over the hooks will help stop the table rattling.

[@OutNAbout415]

We need BKXC van dog!!!!!!

[@namiqqaracuxurlu3589]

Hi Brain how are you my friend. I from in Uzbekistan I love you America 😍🥰

[@adrnln_jnke]

Brian, How did you like using the 3 drawer packout for a MTB toolbox? I'm considering buying one myself to replace my smaller craftsman toolbox that I have outgrown. What were some things you didn't like about it? Thank man. Keep up the great content.

[@miniMEGA29]

Update us on how these upgrades held up in the long term in the future!

[@roadtrekexplorers891]

Hi, I noticed the wheel well insulated covers can you let me know where I can get some.Thanks,Rafy

[@mattkavanaugh5623]

The better colors of the LED lights are just a pigment of your imagination... sorry... couldn't resist.... :)

[@daveedg10]

Hello! New subscriber here. Those wheel well covers are awesome. Did you purchase those or make them?

[@sjames3819]

Hi- What is the brand , model of that brush guard. looks good!

[@achumon7659]

Your big fan in Tamil Nadu ( say one HI)

[@aeromtb2468]

how has the reliability of van been for you?

[@shanec.7105]

You can do a lot. You'll probably be able to change the oil too. Maybe cheaper. I stopped having oil changed by others because I got fed up with them with false claims of bad drain plugs and them trying to sell me a $5 drain plug scam. Even had this bad person put one qt. and send me down the road. Had a nagging feeling so I checked the dip stick, does not register after oil change. just enough to not have oil pressure light and I'd be broken down with blown engine on a cross country trip.

[@buffalobmf]

You could put your own brush guard on along with led pods but you cant change your own oil?

[@julianphipps6153]

To to all trouble should have fitted four lights

[@tcline8600]

Diet DP? That’s new!

[@Wannaridebikes]

Why not a solid light bar. Just asking.

[@ricomacpherson6845]

Small hands, you need an Austin Powers reference.

[@jacobreigle9176]

Y don't you wire it to the aux switch on the left side of the steering wheel

[@julianmichael2791]

Not having good headlights on the expressway is a scary experience

[@bikewurks1757]

Please tell me you put them lights on a relay... congratulations on marrying Sarah...when I last watched you had just dropped her off on the fifty state shred......that's awesome...

[@dougiegraham662]

Those are illegal in the UK as they kill pedestrians, especially children. Car manufacturers are obligated to design vehicles so the front end absorbs an impact with a pedestrian. You've just removed all those safety features. The chances are it won't happen,but if you hit and kill a child,it will haunt you to the grave.

[@mikegc3816]

Completely agree

[@gavindean]

Lights look great but a light bar would of looked better

[@durace99]

knipex cutters i see. 👍

[@DrumguyCiv]

Even though we realize that you and Sarah got married, it is still strange to hear you say “my wife” when referring to her.

[@triathloner1]

4 spring nuts and 4 bigger L brackets into that unistrut under your bed and that table is more out of the way.

[@Wannaridebikes]

Not a fan of all the newer vehicles with all the plastic. I own a jeep. Bolt on parts way easier.

[@justincayce2]

Invest in a swivel socket and thank me later 🤙

[@sanerix]

^Be safe from cyclist impact….^ Priceless😂

[@richardkaz2336]

Married... when did that happen.

[@tayloroliver7293]

cyclist impacts!?!

[@BriefcaseBanks]

What is your actual profession? Are you employed?

[@mtadams2009]

This is his job. Making videos and traveling the world. He used to do something in software but I could be wrong.

[@johnwren3976]

Amazed at your lack of specificity and directions in this video. 🤦‍♂️

[@zerge83]

cyclist impacts??? tf is wrong with you?

[@bryanglover1272]

Pretty tasteless comment about whether or not the brush guard will save you from "any cyclist impacts"... surprised but maybe you've never known anyone hit and killed by an asshole.

[@stuntmantravis84]

Cringe

[@douglasreed5518]

you do all this work yourself ... and you take your car for an oil change!!!??? that is crazy you should do oil change your self.. big saving buy Walmart synthetic oil .. the oil change people are brain dead ... I know did in in college I am ashamed to say I started many cars..trucks with no oil in them ... when you do 50 day you forget!!!
