Jeep Truck Thing finally gets a proper top! Just in time for winter.

[@bradcarroll5265]

Really like the series. Hate to see that one leave you. Turned out so cool. Much better than the original version of it.

[@thedirtheadshed]

It was a fun one. Glad I had my part in it’s history

[@stoneshrink]

@@thedirtheadshed for some reason I can't direct comment to the video - but I agree with the OP here. Can't keep them all, but it's cool that you got to fix one

[@ben88uhl]

Loved watching the series. I like your style. Keep up the good work! You are making me want to start another project!!! Keep on keeping on my friend.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks! So many projects out there right now

[@benstrait333]

Great series, good work. I'm ok with sending it on, I'm looking forward to what you'll do next🤘

[@thedirtheadshed]

Got to keep em going

[@bjornvt]

One of my favorite builds of yours. Glad to see it go to a good home.

[@turtleberg]

I use Lexan for all my plastic window needs. Won't shatter or crack. I learned this in the sign business. Replacing sign faces broken by vandalism. You can throw a rock at it and watch it bounce off

[@abcsd1254]

I was blown away with the reveal how good the aluminum worked. I liked this build and like the current mix of projects.

[@Ignitiong8gt]

Man I wanted to see that thing snow-wheeled! You did a great job saving that Jeep!

[@richfletcher4286]

It’s probably the best that rig has ever been. I’m sorry to see it go. You’ve set the bar pretty high for yourself. Can’t wait to see what’s next. Peace.

[@aaronstone5899]

Ive found with self tappers, a small pilot hole like to did and use a regular drill not an impact. It seems not to break them as much. Love the build!!

[@thedirtheadshed]

Yep. A little prep work goes a long way

[@Matt-c.]

Dave mentioning his dissatisfaction with the Tyson fight is next level mEtA, and I’m here for it

[@coreypruka5501]

Bonus Sunday coverage? Heck yeah!

[@thedirtheadshed]

Keep em coming!!

[@billnu]

I love jeep truck things! A friend and his dad both built a fish houses from scratch out of aluminum. They used double thickness of plexiglass for the windows. Purged with argon from the welder and sealed the holes with silicone. I don’t think they had any issues with fogging and they made good, cheap insulated windows.

[@thedirtheadshed]

That’s pretty cool

[@Guy-g5o]

The jeep truck thing is cool, I enjoyed watching the build process & then watching you wheel it . Thanks for taking us along , looking forward to your next project 👍

[@Altera_Industries]

Hell yeah. Love that diagonal fold for straight to curve transitions technique.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Take your time with it and it can be a smooth transition

[@b-lopez394]

Greetings TDS, After you mod the bed of the JTT, I fell in love with that thing, specially after the AU. Not only that, it has a great history of it. Hopefully the next project is as interesting as JTT. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward for the next project.

[@thedirtheadshed]

That one will be hard to top

[@DriverInRenton]

Great job on the rig, finished up so nice

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks. I was totally pleased with it

[@Hillbillypunk]

"Yo, Fribaby, you got them orange doors somewhere?" You're kind of a genius bro! Thing is legit 👌

[@ChadPowell02]

Definitely bummed to see this one go, but I'm excited to see what you come up with next! Thanks for sharing!

[@jasonscharf97tj]

The jeep truck thing is so RAD! I'm gunna miss it ! I can't wait to see what's next though

[@johnknipp]

I thought this was a cool project and a great callback to a rig a lot of us have seen online and in other videos. You can’t be expected to keep all of these projects, so it’s cool to see it go to a new owner who can have fun with it. 👍

[@AS-ng5pi]

Maverik is the best! Adventure's 1st stop. My family makes fun of me for how excited I get when we travel to the West and hit a Maverik station!

[@thedirtheadshed]

Haha. I totally get it

[@LokiMelb]

This was a really good build and awesome seeing you don't need "every new thing" to build a rad jeep-truck-thing in your shed. I've been loving the builds with the mini truck coming along as well. Keep it up mate

[@thedirtheadshed]

You can make it work with what’s already here. Most of the time

[@mjenner89]

Love this series! But I will miss seeing it rip now that it's complete.

[@thedirtheadshed]

On to the next one

[@rabidcoyote97]

Awesome build! The whole thing turned out fantastic! Selling it was a real plot twist….but I dig it. Build, wheel, sell, repeat. Great work! Oh…and multiple weekend videos was the bonus I didn’t even deserve. I know it’s a lot of work to do it, figured I’d let you know it was great and appreciated!

[@toddfogle5442]

I used to drive truck out to San Bernardino and Portland/Seattle and could never remember what the cool town was that you basically drove above. Wallace, ID. Amazing drive.

[@JRII-67]

Luv everything you do Dave. It's all RAD! But that was rough.. The Tube is a rough place to hang out! Don't make things what they aren't. Be yourself! This is why we follow you DUDE!!!

[@thedirtheadshed]

I’ve got no choice to be me!

[@blahblah4125]

Can believe those doors fit so well. Great job finding and installing those, roof too of course.

[@Gyrfalconwyn]

In my travels, I found Maverick to be one of my favorite gas station stops. And I agree with you, their breakfast burritos are great.

[@scottlewis2372]

That was a great build series! The fab on the bed and top was awesome. Thanks, Dave.

[@gregfargen7781]

One of my favorite drives is heading north out of Wallace to Burke and it dumps you out in Thompson Falls, MT. There is some fun wheeling to be had out there.

[@wayneb7190]

Dave, both the long builds, and the short builds are good. Also the wheeling with friends videos are great, keep it up!

[@lfliger]

Great build Dave! Fun to watch. Do more

[@davespickelmier5592]

Just keep doing you Dave, love your channel!

[@i976scirocco3]

The top came out great ! Another epic road trip too.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Cheers. Thanks

[@jefftroublefield1539]

It’s such a cool truck Jeep and I hope he’s happy with it!

[@music10293]

I definitely gonna miss the jeep truck thing but that's how you can bring new projects to the channel

[@NeilMotley]

I liked this series, and love the outcome. I also like the mini trucks! I also would like to see a simpler build like the trooper!😊

[@crankyoldman65]

Great episode Dave. I like the way you spread this one out. Buying a solid bones start then building something 'special', then using it for a while and passing it along is a great show plan. Keep on 'truckin.

[@jeffreybetts8014]

All I can say is awesome,great video, thanks Dave

[@nitramdmij]

That is an awesome rig! Thanks for the series. I really like watching your in depth builds!

[@bgoodellynp]

This build keeps getting better and better. What a cool looking Jeep!

[@hurstauto]

Really enjoyed the series. Personally I like to use Lexan for windows, It even holds up on heavy equipment. Thanks for the great content.

[@nimas.1415]

Don’t feel bad about selling it, thanks for bringing us along.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks for watching, there will be others

[@wmdavis007]

Awesome build! Definitely a lot better than when you got it. Thanks for doing what you do! Keep em' coming.

[@thedirtheadshed]

It has good style now!

[@JeepsRtheDevil]

Love the build and the ride across lookout and 4th of July. Ran that pass for 10 years in the big truck. Havent been back in about 4 years. Used to be my favorite part of the coast to coast ride. Even in the winter.

[@johanchastain]

I'm so glad you gave that jeep the respect and changes it needed. It went from ugly clown car to badass. Good job. It looks great

[@JeremyArmes]

Love the fab work. Wish I could have seen more of the finished product after it was all painted, but great video regardless. Keep 'em rollin'.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Keeping them rolling. But I agree, this one went away a little sooner than expected

[@hedrives]

So cool you found a needy new owner. Cheers from near Aspen. Happy holidays.

[@thedirtheadshed]

It’s in good hands

[@jasonflowers3830]

That was a cool build. More builds like this would be cool,but I also like the variety of builds you do on your channel.

[@thedirtheadshed]

This one was a little bit out of my normal price range!! But I will continue to build cool stuff all I can

[@shanewright6958]

The Jeep looks great. Another great video 👍👍

[@down304outdoors]

You should do a give away to the fans! I'd live a chance to own one of your rigs.

[@tinytiredan]

Can't wait to have my own garage so I can get working on my yj, thanks for the inspiration 🤙🏻

[@madmikescustoms]

Please keep doing what you're doing, we are all blessed that you have this KZbin channel and sharing some badass videos. God bless and keep wheeling 🙏

[@thedirtheadshed]

I’m gonna keep going! It’s gaining enough traction that I can’t stop now

[@j-port8818]

I was hoping to see more of this one! The work you did was killer! I remember you were looking for a CJ, get the one Fred's selling and shorten it back up.

[@HoundofWar]

Great job! I like the Clampy winterized kit with the moving blankets.

[@dukegnarley]

polycarbonate/lexan is less likely to crack, and is stronger. It is better optically when flexed, however it is softer and easier to scratch. acrylic/plexiglass is more likely to crack, but won't scratch as easily.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Good insight. Thanks

[@dennisthompson7707]

I'm going to miss the Jeep Truck Thing but it looks like it going to a good home. I like watching the builds and the wheeling trips, your channel has a good mix that keeps it interesting, keep up the good content.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks so much. I’m pushing

[@hoosierdude7102]

That is the best that weird ride has ever been! Nice job on the hardtop. Thank you.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks! I agree, it’s finding its stride

[@dhalvorson8622]

I wouldn’t mind seeing you build something unique that you don’t see everyday like your old Amigo.

[@thedirtheadshed]

I have a pretty cool trooper in que

[@ianclark-fh8tu]

Afternoon Dave😎🤙🏻 Jeep Truck Thing looks great!!

[@googleuser2170]

Love snow wheeling and love this channel. Every video is great to watch and full of cool information.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks so much for watching, commenting, helping the channel grow

[@stevetritle2101]

I wish I had 1/2 your talent and 1/2 your shop. I’m a Jeep guy, but love all your content. Even the bicycles and low riders!

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

Good content Dave. Like button energized.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Much appreciated!

[@dennissanborn3159]

simple is almost best every time

[@thedirtheadshed]

I agree

[@mikemccabe7124]

you need to use 3m's twin tube into 1 stray plastic bonder it's literally used for automotive plastics and it dries up pretty fast where you can body work like bondo type fillers which you use some of evercoats lite weight filler over the top of if you want to make it look all smooth & clean so looks factory done but point being the 3m stuff I'd way better and it's black so it'll blend in the peices you were bonding together

[@thedirtheadshed]

I used what was on the shelf at the farm store down the way. It worked out

[@lowbudgetbob1155]

Why should anyone be mad that you sold it? It's a cool rig and I'd like to have seen more of it but I'm still waiting on the Mustang II to get finished and the low rider too. Time to get back in the garage!....lol

[@TheRealDrJSquared]

Keep buying them and sell ‘em. I can’t build an entire project all at once, but I like seeing the things you do because it gives me ideas of small projects I can do.

[@tanco2158]

I'm gonna miss this truck...🥲 It turned out soooo cool...👍✨

[@Cleaveland72]

Good show Chapelle

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks!

[@sadubone]

This was a cool episode. I love the build and drive combination. I think it turned out really cool and it looks good.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks. I dig the drive too. Got to show the concept working. Or not

[@jonathanalburty8554]

Plexiglass is a type of acrylic, both you have to he careful how you work with it and will crack easily, but they make good clear windows. Lexan is polycarbonate, which is a durable material and very difficult to crack. You can cut polycarbonate however you please, metal shear, circular saw, hatchet, whatever, it wont crack. Downside it is scratches fairly easily.

[@josepuga5520]

This was an awesome build. Hope you find another one soon.

[@EverythingRVbyPat]

I really like that Jeep. I didn't know it was something your were going to sell or I would have made an offer too. Great series. Thanks for showing it off. Pat

[@offpvmt1379]

I wanted that rig, but since Andrew is the new custodian I’m ok with it 😂😂

[@coathanger51]

great build... really neat fab job to get the roof on... your buddy Andrew scored for sure... nice run down 90 and 15... retired truck driver, been there done that... never flew back home though, well, not when I was over the road.... Florida still feels rather flat even now, we use speed bumps to see farther ahead... just saying...

[@thedirtheadshed]

That drive is always good

[@scottr9900]

The area around Sand Hollow/Hurricane is just amazing. And it’s a quick trip from Vegas. And Kanab is not too much further. Great Jeeping.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Yeah, that’s an amazing area

[@jacktarr385]

Love your series. I've never seen anyone need a 3d printer more. Turned out great!

[@thedirtheadshed]

That would be a cool use for one!

[@kirshberndt8412]

Cool rig! 👍

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks!

[@n.j.bandelow3913]

Congrats on the build. You did a good job with it. I liked everything about it except the double front when it was built. I've enjoyed seeing what you do with your rigs. Keep up the good work. What's next?

[@thedirtheadshed]

I need to finish the Nissan, then get that motor done in butter jeep

[@granitesand78]

haha I can't believe you sold it!! Would have been fun to see you do some more adventures but I get it. Great job man, looked like a lot of hard work. I drove from portland to cda on Monday and there was no snow, just some fog and rain. Wasn't bad.

[@HarrisonJamesSmith]

Sad to see it go…but more excited for Trooper anyway!

[@thedirtheadshed]

I have it in the shop now. Need to swap that head out

[@CLGravy]

The Jeep JTT returns. Sweet little rig.

[@joebogey]

Cool watching both, i enjoyed this build start to finish, its ok to run through the work if you already showed us what you were doing. But I also enjoyed the detailed video on the Mustang II top. Unfortunately you can't keep them all!

[@davevieth8266]

Love your videos and the variety. Mini trucks to mountain bikes to bmx to off road rigs. Sucks to see rigs go but get it. Well except Mz Grande it has to stay. I have a thing for that truck

[@djrodgers361]

Keep bringing the builds!! Love the channel

[@thedirtheadshed]

Will do! Thanks for the support

[@alan_walker102]

Glad to see it polished up and made better. good to see it go to a good home too. you dont have as much storage area as fred😁

[@PaulKaiser42]

One day Dave I’m going to want to buy a rig you build👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻

[@thedirtheadshed]

I’ll keep building them

[@PaulKaiser42]

@ and I’ll keep watching👍🏻 and hopefully buying 😊

[@PatTheCarNut]

What an awesome project. So fun following it. Dave if you ever! decide to sell this rig, please let me know! No joke!

[@brandonbaldwin6845]

Great video, as always (and two videos in a week!)! Sad to see it go after all of your work, but there's no shortage of sick rigs in your stable!

[@jakegorman7121]

Sad to see it go but lookn forward to the next!

[@mazevx2451]

Use Polycarbonate, it's used for plastic windows on racecars as makrolon (brand name) and go for something around 1/4 inch, we use metric 4-6mm thick material. Great aluminum work. I think they messed up this part when they built it. It might look cool but it was dumb not to build it to seal doors and have a rear window.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Sometimes those builds have to get done Fast and you miss some details. That’s just how it goes

[@mazevx2451]

​​@@thedirtheadshedyeah sure it's show stuff, glad it's yours now and being completed and put to good use. Should watch to the end before I comment... Well I really liked the work you did and sure in for another project. Take your time and finish the bagged mini truck and give maz grande some love and all the other stuff 😂 but maybe you need a 4 door jk to go camping 💪

[@crnutsmotorsports]

Very enjoyable, nice fab work as always 👍👍

[@sometimeswheeling3896]

Saving up to build a shop. Enjoy seeing your work.

[@StevenEarnshaw]

WOW Dave, you do amazing work, wished you lived next door, my son is trying to put " Air Ride in the 79 Rivera " i bought him.

[@turbojunki]

Really hate to see it go away. This thing is awesome, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

[@thedirtheadshed]

It is good, it was good. I’ll do more cool stuff

[@johnlombardi1021]

very cool rig

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thank you

[@29errick21]

Good Job Dave. Cut Chop and Build 👍👍👍. Keep growing the channel any way you can.

[@Datsmo633]

I love you have the same size pile of uninstalled insulation in your shop as I do. Makes me feel better, lol.

[@thedirtheadshed]

I’m fooling nobody. That’s never going up

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

I hate seeing it go, but glad it’s going to someone you know. It was fun to watch along with your Jeep truck thing upgrades. I can’t wait to see what comes along next.

[@dsb1829]

No way, I thought I saw the jeep on our way to/from Salt Lake, might have been on way to Boise. We were basically traveling from CA to Boise in the reverse direction. The doors threw me. When you said the I15 and rest of the route, I was like yup that was it. Cool.
