@@yacovkashi5523 yessir!! And if you want even more, check out DirtLifestyle’s review of the same disc. He covered some different areas than mine and did some deeper dives into certain things. Also his production quality is leaps above mine

@@nel8238 about $125 The most expensive bit is the black iron pipe, and the price of BIP changes frequently.

@@coloradomallcrawlers it was a lot of fun! Glad i was able to make it out! First time in the area, i wouldn’t have even known where to start

@@bigzoffroadget TrailsOffroad and you’ll be set.

@@jasonhulslander3194 Hey everyone has their turn! You can never tell what’s gonna happen mechanically on the trail

Can’t wait!

@@ruairiodonoghue9527 yessir!! Still working on separating all the individual clips to share with yall

@@michaelbrohl1625 right behind the where the camera is sitting was a cement slab. Didn’t have room to really set it up the way i would normally in the woods.

@@monsterenergy927 i guess that would depend on where you live? There’s SOME corrosion on mine, but it’s not bad. Hasnt affected the way it works in 3 or 4 years now. But it is RC, so the hardware isn’t the best grade you can get.

@@bigzoffroad gotcha thanks for replying! I’m in the southeast so not terrible conditions, but it was still enough to rust the cheap eBay bumper after a couple years. Mostly because the coating they used over the bare metal was terrible and started flaking away

Yeah! at 00:36 in the video I show all the parts that I use to make this. What length pipe you'll need will depend on what the size of your ammo can is. So you'll need: - Ammo can - Propane hose with adjustable pressure valve - Some washers to act as shims for the joint between the pipes and the ammo can - Propane air mixer (the brass piece with the holes in it) - black iron pipe: > 5 straight lengths (mine are 3" ) > 3 T sections > 4 end caps > 2 nipples (male threaded on both sides) > A 3/4" to 1/2" adapter

@@zxer46northrider95 well, every bolt has a generic torque depending on its size, but i don’t know it and didn’t go to anything specific here.

@@donaldo1974 yeah! I bought this cot for my previous tent setup to just get me off the ground inside my tent. Once it’s time to replace it, that’s exactly what I’ll do. The sleeping bag i have, I’ve been using for about 10 years now. It’s a Cabela’s Outfitter’s bag, rated at 0° (F). Its treated me very well! But i saw 23Zero’s bag at an Overland convention, and if i replace my sleeping bag, that’ll be on the list for competition

@@jacobcovil8228 it’s a bit annoying, but not difficult. You have to use your finger tips to pull it out

@@BDL090754 keep in mind, that paint on the can will burn off. Its not rated for high heat. Might save yourself the time and scrub it all off and paint it with high-temp enamel or BBQ paint before you assemble everything. I knew it was gonna burn off, but just didn’t have the time to strip the paint, so i just burnt it all off. Also, the air mixer valves helps a lot. Almost no sooty black smoke from the flame

@@jacktorrence3682 yes! Because if the system can’t reach its rated pressure, it can’t push the thermostat open. That’s a really good point. Idk if i showed it in this video, but i did replace my rad cap when i did this. I usually replace my rad cap any time im doing maintenance on my cooling system. Especially considering they’re like $15

@@Hottel_h3 they were 3” in length

@@bigzoffroad thanks!

@@carsonhoward1142 yup! Its helpful to know which wire energizes which. Thanks for watching, glad it was helpful! And I’m still running these lights, they’re nice and i like the look of the DRL ambers on them

I would recommend only using the OEM (Mopar) thermostat. The aftermarket thermostats are rated differently. But also, have you done an exhaust gas check? Make sure it’s not a head gasket? Are you leaving coolant from anywhere? Is your radiator fan turning on? There’s some big relays for the radiator fan, are those fried? And, do you have grille inserts?

So the solution was a new thermostat again, but this time I ordered a better one online, not Chinese made. OEM are backordered for months. It was a thermostat from Gates

@@djdarkopz1662 okay nice!! Glad that fixed it. A lot of OEM parts are just back ordered all over the place, not really sure why

Yes! The overhang it does have is actually perfect in a way. Keep rain away from the cot. One complaint, this cot is low to the ground. But it’s also very compact, so good trade off. The Big Bear Oasis cot is can’t find it on Amazon anymore, but any XL cot will be the same dimensions. 👍

RC doesn’t make any accessories for those holes, and i haven’t been able to find any built that’s the correct thread to work in them either. Everything just binds up But the hinges have treated me well. Not had any issues

Glad to help another giant out!! 🤣

@@bigzoffroad is it wide enough to be comfortable or would the extra money for the size up worth it

@@farmersgrip i can lay flat on my back with no issue (width wise). My dog (pit/lab mix) has slept with me in there once or twice, that is a tight fit, but it was fine 👍

Really glad this helped you with that! We’re the same size!! Haha People are always shocked that i fit in this thing. I love it!

@@bigzoffroad I should ask as it looks like you have had this for a year now, do you have a long term review of it?

Glad it worked!! Haven’t had my rattle come back since.

??? You mean in my video?

​​@@bigzoffroadYea, audio only out of left ear. Great review, though!

@@nate5234 oh! Yeah i have had this problem with a couple videos. Its my mic, it likes to record in stereo and then it only records the left channel on the GoPro. I missed the setting on the mic and didn’t realize in editing that it did that. 👍 Competing devices

You could! Let’s say i seasoned it “naturally”. Its been rained on multiple times now. It’s not completely canvas, it’s a poly-canvas blend, so it’s not really necessary like with full canvas.

Yes! Weather was a bit rough that weekend and flagpole was the busiest I’ve seen it.

I didn’t

@@bigzoffroad I’m having the same issues. Only my radiator fan won’t turn off. I replaced everything….. sensors, thermostat, fluids…. My pump is fine. I believe it to be the thermostat though, it’s not Mopar. I was told that Jeeps are very particular about the OEM thermostat. So I got one that will be here Monday and I’ll see if that fixes it.

@@cmkpro81 i don’t think the thermostat has any control over the fan turning on or off. That’s all controlled by the relays being fed information from the coolant temperature. But yeah, i would only use the MOPAR thermostat. Also, you could take your current thermostat and gut it so it’s just wide open (remove the spring and seal) and see if that works, because it could be that your thermostat isn’t opening? So as soon as you turn on your jeep, the fan is just running? Or once it starts it won’t stop?

@@bigzoffroad it turns on when I get up in temp and stays on even when it’s cold outside. It goes up and down. I stop at a red light the fan slows cause temp goes down. I speed up fan goes up.

@@cmkpro81 is your engine overheating or maintaining temp?

You know, I’ve been running with this roof rack for like 4 years now? Its been nice! I’ve laid it into trees, loaded it way over its “rated” capacity. It’s all messed up now, but works just fine! Haha

Hopefully that fixes it. I’m not sure the difference in tailgate latch systems between my 2015 and your 2021. Let me know how it works!

I climbed in the back tonight as my girlfriend drove down the road and that’s exactly where the noise was coming from. Been trying to figure it out for weeks.

@@kimcarey8325 i wouldn’t bother with my little duct tape “trick” That tape wore off within a week. But my rattle never came back 👍

Hey, thanks for the comment and questions. It grinds pretty decently, and now that you ask that, i really wish i had included that in my video to show how it grinds compared to a flap disc… might make a part 2 now… haha! But it’s a flush grinder, so it’s a bit better for blending stuff down. If i have a lot of grinding to do, i prefer a flap disc, and flap discs have a little “give to them” so you can push them into what you’re grinding without bogging down the angle grinder. BUT! It will obviously last longer than a flap wheel or grinding disc will. I don’t really use any grinding whees, just cutting discs, flap discs and this. I would also recommend checking out Nate’s video at Dirt Lifestyle. He did a video on this same disc and covers more than i covered and different things and has a different perspective on it. But, since i bought this, I’ve gone through one cutting wheel and this is still performing like new, and they do honor their lifetime warranty on it, so it’s a “buy-it-once” kind of tool. I’ve never worked with stainless, so idk that i could give you an answer there. And for making a groove. This might just be me, but this disc seems to bite and kick easier than a cutting wheel, so yes it can make a groove, but not the same as a grinding or cutting wheel. Not as “smooth” i guess? Hope that answers your questions! Man… looks like I’m gonna have to make a second video on this! Thanks! 🤣

Follow-up: this video was spot on. Mine was scraping the bottom, so I moved it all the way up, then halfway down to split the difference. The good news is - that resolved the problem. The bad news is - I way over-torqued the bottom screw and broke the shaft inside. So, I need to drill and tap out the broken screw and replace it with a new one.... and not go full retard strength on it next time around.

If the DRLs are on the same post as the floods, they’ll come on together. You could wire them both to their own switches no issue, i just wanted mine to come on with my factory DRLs.

@@bigzoffroadthanks !

Yeah, when you’re burping the system? I did 👍 But now my radiator has a leak somewhere. Very very small. Still no overheating issues though.

If it’s noticeable when you’re idling, i would assume it’s NOT your tailgate. Might be exhaust? This tailgate rattle happens when you’re driving down the road going over small bumps, usually coming from the rear driver side

@@bigzoffroad would you be open to troubleshoot if i paid you for it?

@@frmelo21 Oh i live no where near Portland, and I’m by no means a mechanic

Sorry, I just saw this comment pop up in my notifications even though its from 9 months ago. Do you mean the 3 8-bit hearts sticker? I don't have any runescape specific stickers, but I have 3 gaming stickers. 2 of which are Metal Gear Solid.

@@bigzoffroad the skull and crossbones

Thank you!! Nate at Dirt Lifestyle did a review of these as well and covered but only different but a lot more than i really have the capability to test on it, and his review / comparison also has some great information. If you haven’t already watched that one or want to see even more on these wheels His end conclusion was different than mine, but i don’t disagree with his reasoning
