As usual, great build, series, and video. I actually really appreciate the sponsorship, and plug, for Empire abrasives. As a new fabricator, it's easy for me to get caught up lusting after fancy fab tools, and completely overlook the basics that I'd probably otherwise just purchase from Harbor Freight or something.

Thanks for the drill bit info and the explanation about the cutting oil. Does the same hold true for hole saws and which brands work best. Personally I would love to see a video about tools that actually work so I don’t waste my money on substandard tools. I have already added the rivnut tool, angle finder and portable bandsaw. Not just to be like Nate, but because Nate showed me why those tools made the project easier. Keep up the great work Nate, there are many of us that need the know-how.

Beautiful work, Nate. I don’t think the extended series is a problem because the insight into your process and how you address issues as they come up is fascinating. The other part would be that each part of the series showed significant progress, so we didn’t feel like we were stuck on the same thing over and over. Absolutely fantastic work, both in the fabrication & the video production.

Whammy! Regarding your rig, regardless of what I think of it (awesome) what I enjoy most is that you have an overland rig that's kind of old school in the sense that the bulk of your rig is custom fabbed. Before all the bolt on accessories were as abundant as they are now all one could do was custom fab something. It's a really cool build that I feel honors the traditions of over landing. Well done. Thanks for the content and inspiration!

Nate... I haven't seen a video of yours I don't like. Believe it or not you helped inspire me to do something I've never attempted before. I replaced the metal around my windshield because of rust. I know you don't really do bodywork on your channel but seeing you build and tackle problems while fabricating helped give me the confidence to try. Thank you. I'll try and post a couple pics of my work

Great series, you are an inspiration. Drillls: I’m a machinist of 40+. For steel in the thickness you are working with, search out a stub length split point cobalt drill. They are a bit more expensive. If you are $ conscious, then just buy the sizes you use the most.

I think it's pretty amazing. I agree the top latch although functional might have a shorter life span. Overall it looks way more aggressive, and the kitchen setup is really functional. Great job, I enjoyed all 5 videos in this series.

Hey Nate thanks for this series, love your style. I'm a fabricator too but I'm the guy who plans it through before I start. I really appreciate guys like you who just go at it and I'm starting to loosen up and go your route. It helps me see ideas and opportunities that come up during the build and incorporate last minute features into a build. Anyway lots of great ideas and information thank you. Cheers

Nate, I admire your insight you have for your projects. I went lame and installed a SmittyBilt that used a sliding spring loaded pin years back and used a De-Sta-Co Pull-Action Stainless Steel Toggle Clamp from McMaster Carr 5071A57 to hold the tire carrier in place. The carrier rests on a block of delron/Mylar/phenolic material. The latch has a locking mechanism that worked perfect for my app. The De-Sta-Co latch quality is top notch. FYI only.
