This Was NOT EASY...GQ Ute Build Gets SPICY

In this episode of the Ute build we make the custom roof cage that is all removable. a special package from STEDI has arrived with all the lights for the car and we draw up and brace the rear of the chassis.

Coming along nicely Dan, awesome work!!👌🏻

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks for watching mate

[@simonburnby1997]

The effort and skill your putting into this is amazing , almost be sad to see it scrubbed against some trees …..almost

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate, I’ve gone to far already, going to be crying when it gets its first dint, hopefully never hahaha

[@cllarrence]

Hi, I just bought a GU ute and it has the same rippling on the chassis above the rear diff as your GQ ute, not sure if my chassis is bent or if it's factory. Cool build, love the channel.

[@DanielKistler]

Hey mate, that’s normal it’s been On every patrol I’ve ever looked at. Thanks for watching

[@harvey6740]

Bro it looks mental but since you've had the plasma cutter everything has been so over engineered 😂

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate, haha well when it’s so easy to add details it becomes a bit of fun 🤣

[@HarpersShed]

I would most certainly be interested in purchasing a set of chassis plates when they become available. Very well thought out and with all the cutouts for welding to make for a smooth line once finished is bloody fantastic

[@TobiasPowell-u3e]

Sick video, can't wait to see a bonnet entry snorkel.

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks for watching mate. Not sure what I’m doing with the snorkel yet

[@deancampaign1829]

That looks awesome but welding everything up will it make the whole car rigid? Potentially crack the cab?. Either way it looks so good and making me want to start welding shit on mine 😂

[@adamallen8863]

This is awesome craftsmanship

[@MitchellMcCulloch]

Unreal good stuff things gonna be a weapon! Learning heaps from your vids cheers

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks for watching mate, I try and put some good info into the videos! Cheers

[@edbelt9155]

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate, think it was inch and a half.

[@roydonbrown1823]

Looking good.

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks for watching mate

[@stubbiecap]

I've had ebay single 10w led work lights on a dog cage...decent amount of light and only like 30mm square would fit between your headboard tubes at the top radius....not sure if stedi do a single 10w.

[@DanielKistler]

Not a bad idea actually, will see if I can find Something. Cheers mate

[@NKENNY-vw5bk]

I know you don’t want to mount the lights too low But if you can do a bracket off the Rock sliders (I assume you will be making) more towards the rear of the cab under the Sill ( Obviously higher than what will slide on ground/Rocks ) they still light up quite a lot of the Ground and your surroundings which will give you good vision, Had 4 little bar spot lights on the inside of all 4 wheels and lit up everything. If you’re chasing vision of everything around your next possibility could be tucked under the front of tray spotting straight outwards (Assuming you aren’t running any front toolboxes 👍🏼

[@DanielKistler]

Hey mate, not a bad idea. I’ve got a couple ideas up my sleeve so I’ll see what comes of it. Not sure what’s going on with the tray yet but I’ll work out some good light spots!

[@timmyhasheart]

Absolute tops man 🙏🏻 be stoked to see the back end to successful use of that DOM haha

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks Timmy, it’s certainly not as easy as nb tube to work with haha

[@timmyhasheart]

[@Nissankingcabute]

[@DanielKistler]

[@ddiemonyoutube1055]

[@DanielKistler]

Hahaha yeah I’d say so 🤣. Was good to catch up with everyone there. Fingers crossed I can get this Ute at the show next year.

[@ericjohnson6802]

Tough looking truck. Can't be this unit for strength and capability! Gotta love the plasma table too.

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate, it’s coming along nicely, making good use of the table haha

[@scottdonna2690]

one way power diode from jaycar in the feed line from reverse lights then just a normal switch to override as camp light etc without it back feeding to reverse lovin the bar work

[@DanielKistler]

That’s a good idea, might do that! Cheers mate

[@1p2a3d4d5y]

What the benefit of cab mounted sliders vs exo around the cab? Closeness of fitment or stronger?

[@DanielKistler]

From my perspective it looks better on the cab, probably a little stronger having more mounting points on the cab too.
