my state of michigan is pretty screwed up but at least we don't have to deal with inspections. I would bet 50% of what is on the road in my area would not pass. Great vids 👍

I find it comical that negative comments usually come from people who take sport in picking apart others' work but never seem to produce any of their own 😅 Good job, young man. Keep up the good work!

Ignore the haters. You’ve got some great content.

Fighting the rust in Maine is a never ending battle. My 10 year old Chevy 2500 is almost at a point of no return to a junkyard.

I always redo wheel bearing nuts from scratch. Bearings are a consumable part. So best to redo to specs rather than end up loose due to wear.

There are similar problems on anything parked near salt water shoreline.. I've wanted to do a 4 door van / flatbed, this helps me visualize. Thanks for sharing.

That's a work of art my fellow elder millennial

Your videos are always very interesting. Keep up the good work!

I always like your videos especially smiling John and Jesse and you do a good job

You have come a long way. It’s looking great 👍

Great Job! Van came out awesome. Thanks

Keep up the great work! Got ya shared on our socials. Good luck with the winter prep.

Nice work...👍 Yeah got hit a week ago here in northwest Indiana. Just no fun till March. Vanhaulin looks badass. 🏁

Great job, Takes a lot to get past state inspection. Likke the looks of it.

Nice job, well done. The truck looks awesome. I never mark the axle nut with a chisel. Have a great day.

You're VANHaulen looking awesome thank you for the video

Looks good brother nice job.😊

Great video! i Love watching your videos. :)

Just snap the cotter pin by turning the nut..... or burn the nut off with the torch. The van came out really nice, glad you got your hard plates.

Awesome video

Looks great!!

I think it look good you have doin a good job from start to now. Keep up the good work and I think it would also look bad azz if it had dual on the rear too made add in the future

Good job!

Great job

Awesome job.. 👌

You did an awesome job I love it great job man your not stupid you did great 👍

Maine! Can’t believe I just picked up on that

I never unhooked a battery before welding. The thing is if your welding the exhaust and ground the rocker panel your going to fry shit. I keepy ground close to what's getting welded.

People are haters. Keep doing what ur doing like the videos.

That looks great. Now you need aluminum wheels for it. That would really look good and classy 😍

nice !

I used to weld nuts onto shit I was trying to get out. I've found bolts make for more successful removal. The bolt you get better weld penetration into whatever your removing because you weld around outside

Hey nice job. I am going to buy a good ball joint kit!

Are used to live in Massachusetts for 20 years. I know what you’re talking about Rusty truck at the bottom.

Stacks and dual wheels dude :D

Ain't you the slickerbill making you're own tools good job van is cool but I do still like looks of the Ranger

Harbor freights Hercules line is amazing

Armchair mechanics have perfect 20/20 hindsight.It's their superpower.Must be from where their heads are...?

Yep. Didn't get my free exhaust pipe so it was a fail point in my inspection. 😮

I live in NY I know exactly what you are talking about

Random and not really related, though was wondering if you knew of any 5x100 lug rear wheel hubs that would be closest to 25mm (~1") spindle hubs for like the HF folding 1195 or 1720lb trailer? Looks like Chrysler PT Cruiser and some years of VW Jetta and others are the same or similar style. I want to use with my Prius and got a great deal on an auction with most everything present 1195lb kit. Wheel hubs are on back order and gets me thinking why not use a more common and matches my already have rims and tires so I always have a spare with me for them all. Anything else come to mind doing so I better consider? I really do not like trailers, though figured I better keep the 2006 one cleaner on the inside so to keep with the previous owner love shack design until I find me one. 🙂

Good stuff, tech here from Ontario (rust belt). You really need to get a set of torches! A lot of these fixes/problems could have been avoided with a torch set. Get oxy propane. It's safer and easier to fill than oxy acetylene. Heat is you best friend with rust. If something starts to give me a hard time. A little heat and rusty stuff comes right apart. Don't mean to hate i think the truck is looking really good. I just thought you would safe yourself a lot of head ach by getting a torch and cart.

What is there to do in Maine besides hunt,fish,camp ??

Stich in time saves your dime Peace many blessings to family

I don't stake the nut, I know how to set preload on a wheel bearing.

It doesn't matter what you do, because someone who does nothing will find something you did wrong that they wouldn't have done if they did it instead… 🙄

Don't take negative comments personally.. they prolly never even come back to hear your response... so you just end up lecturing the people who are interested in your content, and wanna know why it failed.

I called Autozone the millennial who answered asked me what Size Motor. I replied Ford 460 BB. Millennials response What’s That.

Don’t pay attention to all the armchair quarterbacks
