⏩ Where did this start?
I really enjoy tinkering with different projects - they usually require a whole bunch of research and learning along the way. It's satisfying on doing a thing and standing back and going 'Yeah! Totally did that!'. I had a bunch of mates asking 'how did you know how to do that?' and 'I couldn't never do that myself so I thought; I need to start something where I can help others that might be thinking the same thing :)
⏩ What will you find here?
The purpose is simply to make these videos as top quality and helpful as I can. They will always be free, there's ZERO agenda and the only motive is to try and upload what I would want to watch to help with that particular project. I'm also keen to keep building this little community and will try to answer all questions when asked - fire away :)
⏩ What's with the gloves?
Not after any KZfaq fame here which is why I'm not in the vids - they're not about me they're about the how-to! I used the gloves for the first couple of projects I filmed which just happened to be messy ones and it kinda just became a thing. Plus adds a little more personality I guess :)
New videos are being uploaded regularly so if there's something you'd like to see, have Questions and/or Comments drop me a line.
Cheers guys.

@robertarmbruster5650 2 жыл бұрын

A great video, the new bar looks OEM and video detail was exceptional. It appears you did not use the additional cushioning edge strip you showed earlier, I think it would have made the side look better at the bar interface to the mudguard arch strip. A big fat rubber all around the top of the bar would fill the gaps really well. Even though the side of the bullbar to the mudguard at the side aligns well, the gap looks a little large. The VSMH in the bar grill is a really nice touch.

@VideoShowMeHow 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks mate 👍 yes it's a balance between the gap, really gotta have 10-20mm for vibration particularly across proper corrugations. Have tried a few different edges now, you can see on the lights vid today, just have the side gap for the.moment reckon looks the goods

As an Auto Mechanical Engineer and a career in many fields, doesn't make me an expert, we all should know what an expert is? For whom believes or thinks that they know every but a knower of nothing, meet many of them, LOL. Definitely an EXCELLANT and informative break down and refitment vid. BUT! If you are going to fit a Winch Bar because to go through this process, why was not a WINCH fitted at the same time as it shouldn't be an afterthought considering fact of again "removal" required. As to you mentioning Glass House Mountain "Tracks" I know that area... Also, using the chair was a good idea, I have one better!! Do you have a floor jack, Remove the Lift Plate, make a "H" frame with attachable arms " to fit any Bull Bar" it can be bolted to the jack. then you can position the bar with ease. Make this and you will have more friends. LOL. Considering I made one for a mate some long time ago and in his opinion / great Idea. I was thinking of a Patent. Anyone can do anything creative. Like my father use to say /upstairs for thinking / downstairs for dancing and in-between your problem .... Cheers

@TurtleWurdle Жыл бұрын

Probably due to the fact not everyone can afford 6-7 grand in one go with a bullbar and winch, I highly doubt there would be much difference, or else they wouldn’t put them on after if it could potentially effect the vehicle in the future

@zarajoe1 Жыл бұрын

I don't know if your still reading these comments but if you are how have the lights been going with the side brackets removed. I recently fitted a full bumper replacement bar and had to remove those black brackets on the sides of the headlights that attach to the bottom. I found that the lights are a little wobbly after removing them. I remembered this video and came back to it to see you also removed yours. Was removing the side light brackets something you were concerned about or has everything been fine?

@VideoShowMeHow Жыл бұрын

Hi there, yes have added light brackets on the sides just after the install, I'd recommend adding some. If the bar you got didn't include them you could make up a pair pretty easy, just need some flat alloy/1.6 gal, then 2 small bends and couple of nut and bolts.
