nice build man, about to start mine, planning on doing cabin structure out of steel as well.

hi, great build, i am about to start mine, i want to also frame cabin using steel. any idea what the your overall weight is?

FYI on the ACM panels you can just score and snap with a razor blade. No need to use a skill saw to cut.

That’s 4wd??

Your trailer is looking great! Nice idea with he venting of the tongue box. I can't wait to get going on my build.

Very awe-inspiring build. And IMO a very top quality build

Very impressive man. I've been working through your videos to give me ideas for my build. Your skills and precision are impressive. I enjoyed your comment about teardrop door sticker shock $ , truth..

What did you use for the heater hose inlet inside your tongue box into the camper?

Best tongue box trailer video I've ever seen.

I like the solar vent. Great build so far.

Super wicked build series. Been watching this build with a couple of times each afternoon and the missus was stoked and confused when I told her after a dozen beers we'll build a trailer 🍻 keep up the great content!

If You dont want the music, turn off the volume and push the close caption icon. You can slow the speed as well with the gear icon

Good Tutorial 👍🏆

Is this your first build?

Will you make a video of the cost breakdown?

Great looking build friend

It's really coming along!

Thanks for the detailed video! Anyone contemplating removing / replacing the motor on a Chevy Express and with access to a lift like this should also review the video by realfixesrealfast titled "Pulling the engine on a snub nosed van" where he unbolts the van body from the frame and lifts the body up giving easy access to remove the engine. With this method he didn't need to evacuate the A/C because the compressor(after unbolting from the engine brackets,) and all other A/C components (and the radiator,) stayed with the body. The body lift video is of a 2000 Express van with a 5.7L engine and it looks like the A/C compressor is on the upper driver's side making it easy to wire out of the way compared to your 6.0L with the compressor on the low passenger's side. For catching the coolant when you pull a lower hose like this you can use a 4x2 cement mixing tub from a home improvement store to keep it from going all over the floor.

Where did you get your fenders from?

I love watching this come together. Love to know, when all said and done, how much you put into this.

Looks great! I've been considering building something similar with the same materials for a while now. Looking forward to the next video!

Hey fellow Minnesotan! I like your build! I’ll be following as I start my own! If you’re ever in Lake city stop by

Awesome build. This is the closest to the one I am just starting. What is the brand and dimensions of the rear hatch you bought? Is it keyed?

final dimensions? ( cabin box) LXWXH in Inches Please....

I know, very late to the party but I want to thank you for your patient and thorough seminar. I have a 40 year old rv that needs its tired old engine replaced and this helps very much. Good show, thank you again.

Where do i buy the strap hinges

Good video but that music was killing me

I have watched literally hundreds of videos on building a squaredrop in preparation for taking on this challenge and your series is by far the best one out there. You’ve got a great way of presenting in a clear and insightful manner. I never leave comments on videos but yours deserve all the praise one can give. Outstanding!

I dont even need to search the comments to know how everyone felt about the music! I am guessing you have learned to skip in entirely for next time. That said, everything else about this video is AWESOME! TH-cam needs way more stuff like this that is actually uselful

Good job and a great, easy to watch job of documenting your work! Four years later, still going strong? Saw your response about "While you're there" down below, but this certainly would've been an opportune time to replace items like crank and cam position sensors, perhaps the knock sensors, starter, coolant pump, thermostat, oil cooler lines, coolant hoses, belt and engine mounts. I'm thinking name brand, quality replacement parts; not replacing OEM with the cheapest stuff on Amazon. You know the history of your vehicle and what has and hasn't been replaced recently, but these parts are all much cheaper than the labor you're saving and should help ensure reliability and that you're not going back in there anytime soon. I was surprised - no, make that impressed! - that you completely reassembled everything before starting the engine; showing a lot of confidence in your work and the rebuilt engine there, lol!

Sweet!!!! Another video!!! Morning coffee... check. New videos to watch...check. It's coming along.

Genius. Stock spare tire system is a pain in the butt

What the size 5x8 or 5x9

Coming together real nice. I have not worked on mine in a while.. Been in the mountains while we still have good weather. Bout to start my cabin build. Do you have a link to the Glands you are using? Also noticed on your through wires in the frame, you didnt use any grommets to protect the sheathing... Think that will be an problem down the road?

Looking really good! Super excited to see it completed.

Finally another video!!!! Super excited!

do you think you'd have any merch coming available anytime soon? Maybe hats shirts or puffy jackets? love the trailer!

I haven’t decided on the exterior lights yet. I have some cheap lights left over from a different project, but I’ll be shopping for dimmable lights after your comment. Thanks for the suggestion!

Coming along great! Well thought out build. I like that the interior lights are dimmable. Will the exterior lighting be dimmable? One of my favorite mods was installing dimmable exterior lights because the factory ones were just too bright making them useless (well unless using them for the bump in the night or bear mode)

Very good job 👍🏻 nice video editing ;)

Looking good. Working on my own build. Definitely takes time with all the details.

Very nice!!! It's coming along beautifully, can't wait to see the next one. I'll be posting a new one as well here in the next few days :)

sooooooo is leaving intake manifold on and instead removing exhaust manifold logs and strap some chain and bolts into heads for crane lift point????

Where are you located?

That engine looks sweet

I just came across your videos this morning and I am glad I did since this is just what I am looking at doing this fall! I really appreciate seeing your attention to detail and hope to do the same. Did you consider other brands of suspensions systems and what made you choose Timbren?

What an extreme luxury to have your two most helpful videos with such clear detail on removing and replacing an engine in a Chevy Van. Thank you for taking the time.

How wonderfully detailed. Thank you. I had to replace the water pump on my Volvo XC90. There was not a single TH-cam video that showed and described the process of disassembly. So many fasteners positioned where one cannot see them and with no instructions at all available a project that should be difficult with effort. All European vehicle manufacturers try to make it impossible to preform home repairs. Please accept my MANY THANKS for your full details for disassembly and then with your number two follow up video for installing new engine. What a credit. Eleven out of ten stars. How satisfying to have you on the globe. Enjoy your day with every success and satisfaction. 🙏
