I have a feeling this video is gonna have to be taken down and reedited since you left the 350z winner's phone number on the screen.
Not an expert but, I've heard that welding directly to the frame can cause weekpoints and can crack the frame. Saw a video about ram truck frames literally splitting in half where they welded aftermarket beds.
For your next giveaway build do a small car like a 1998 Honda Civic DX Hatchback 2D with Blueprint's 340-HP 3,6 Liter Four-Cylinder LS-Headed crate engine. I would love to see you guys built that.
Please Please Please make this giveaway available in Canada!
Okay car I want you guys to build in your flavor 1986 Arrow glass Monte Carlo except for we're going to do it with the Hemi under glass Style but we're going to use a Ferrari v-12 rear-mounted from a Testarossa under the glass
You should build the camper using Aluminium to save weight. You gonna be surprise how quickly you'll reach maximum payload before even having the camper fully loaded.
Especially on rams, right at the edge of the cab they’re super prone to bending the frame due to no bracing, ford puts thick ass plates in that area. Hopefully they do that. But who knows
@@KDlGGlooks like there’s enough hanging beyond the rear axle to counter balance it!😂
@@KDlGG You ain't going to bend a 3rd gen very easily.. The new 2019+ trucks have had some serious issues though. It's kind of funny to think any frame dodge made on the 3rd and 4th gens are stronger than their new, redesigned "5th" gen frames.
I would reach out the Kimbo, they are all aluminum. Might be a cool joint venture
I'm always surprised how much they build out of thick steel. It is easier to make sure things don't bend, and are safe, but I feel like a lot of their cars are heavier than they need to be. Colin Chapman would not approve.
Old minitruck walkthrough beds would use a rubber gasket between the cab and the box/camper shell to let everything flex. Yes, welding a bunch of steel to make the frame less flexy will help, but it might still flex enough that a rubber section between the cab and camper would be beneficial.
I used a rubber accordion style "gasket" for the walk thru on my S10. Ordered it from an RV shop
Its going to be interesting to see how this turns out, I do think itll be ok, but if not, ill be getting the rubber gaskets and going that route. This is just something i really want to try and see if we can pull it off. Its similar to the first time we started cutting cars up in weird ways. Its alot of real world testing to see how things react.
Yeah, it's a regular cab (1999 xtreme) with cab high fiberglass topper. It still wobbles/flexes even just shutting the doors hard. Didnt do anything to reinforce it, but no leaks! Both ends of the rubber just clipped on and added some rtv. Car custom shops were stupid expensive, but ordered this by the foot, it was just lil over $100 (5yrs or so ago)
@@BisforBuild Totally respect that! If it works, it works...if not...try again. Looking forward to the next ep! Well done guys.
He is going to need to use the accordion boot to connect it... It's how sleepers are attached to tractor cabs.... It's how I connect my bed to my cab on my 2010 taco...
Aluminum box would definitely save on weight, also from the trucking industry sometimes we use rubber "thresholds" that go between the sleeper and the driving area to allow flex and the option to not have a sleeper unit. Might be a good way to go from cab to the back of the truck in your case as well
Even better, build it with carbon fiber and advanced composites.
@@jaynecobb3701
TH-cam has an example of a CF camper, something along the lines of "World's Lightest ExpeditionVehicle!".
Problem -- a light breeze punched it into the next zip-code.
True fact...
@@largemarge1603exactly, like just use aluminum bro 😂
Yall should install another dualy axle on it too :D that would be dope and honestly it would probably help out with any potential tongue weight issues since the hitch is so much farther away from the rear axle. Food for thought :)
Is an insane six-by-six would make this even better
Put captain seats in the back so you can seat 4 and still walk between into the camper
for an overlanding build, id almost do an EXO cage on the cab end that is part of the rear floor frame as well, so that it is nice and rigid. plus, gives so much more room in the cab
I have a feeling this video is gonna have to be taken down and reedited since you left the 350z winner's phone number on the screen.
They REALLY need to see this 😂😂😂
Well that sucks.
Best Part of this build update Chris was you announcing your Cancer Free!! Dats Awesome!
Ruben at DMW in Australia makes the best rigs. I'd check out how they do the back of the cab may help with some ideas luv this build already
God bless you man!!!! Great news about your health this news make me very happy to hear 🙏🏽
I love when the giveaway calls are recorded, it's so freaking wholesome. For the next giveaway, how about a (decently used) Porsche Cayman track style build? Idk prices on them, but man. That would be cool to see on here
The next giveaway should be an Old Pickup truck. A 67-72 chevy in particular as it offers a lot of options for bolt on updates. In many cases Factory GM components from trucks as new as the 1990's just bolt on (brakes, power trains, lights and such) making for an easy quick project with lots of design potential. It would also be a great platform for the B is for Build design flair without getting too far into the weeds with making body panels. Combine this with a good tow hitch and you can call it the toy hauler. If you want to get a little crazy with the fabrication you can swap out the stock dashboard for one out of a 65/66 chevy which looks a little more aggressive and would be an interesting fabrication project to make fit especially with the addition of a touch panel radio or something. Finally these trucks have an Enormous following which would potentially expose your channel to a new audience.
I would love this!
A cool idea would be to do a giveaway of say a (e.g. 20k) budget and you guys build the winners car/truck of choice, then you get a series of content, and the winner gets their dream project build done for them or perhaps they could come and help if they were mechanically minded. Just a random thought!
EarthRoamer experiments with a massive overhang behind the rear axle.
EarthRoamer also experiments with engineering a weld-on reinforcement work-around after their frames go 'pretzel'.
Side note: hope you measured the garage door
you had to make it in such a way that the sides of the camper can slide out and when they do, the large rear wheel fenders follow, with out to the side. it's just a thought, thanks for everything you do, you're so cool when you think on what you struggle with when the camera is off. I want you to get over it. We can't do without you and your team, thank you all. You should make a hooded sweatshirt that says ( I also want an Oscar in my workshop) he is so super cool.
Horrible idea, the cab and the box as one.
You might want to sleeve the rails that you are bolting it to the frame with.
Killer build! About your airbags, I would recommend running your rear airbags with a few pounds of air in them. It would keep it from creating negative pressure and collapsing while traveling. If and when this happens, it can pinch and put a wonderful split in your bag making it useless.
You need to do a three point mounting system and isolate the camper from the frame. There is a reason this and a passthrough are done on every single expedition vehicle. You're putting a ton of strain into keeping the frame stiff instead of letting it flex and move a little as designed.
Ambulances are the best camper conversions imo. Theyre already overbuilt, well maintained and meant to be driven around quickly. This will be sick tho. Especially with the cabin access
Chris, might want to keep in mind people have to pay taxes on cars from the giveaway. While winning a GTR or Ferrari would be cool, that and maintenance costs might make it less attractive than a 370z or similar cost car.
Crush tubes would be a welcome addition to the frame mounts.
Definitely keep the airbag’s working. It’ll feel way better when you’re driving, especially with an extra few thousand pounds.
Oscar just knocking things out one thing at a time, you could relocate the spare and put a water tank there. hopefully it will help some with the balancing
MIGHT WANNA BLUR THE GUYS PHONE NUMBER
I would add a rubber diafram in-between the cab and camper. No matter how stiff u make it, it will still flex.
Hey Chris, wouldn’t it make sense to also triangulate the extended frame for extra torsional rigidity?
Thats a good idea, we'll do that
@@BisforBuild 🤣🤣🤣
I vote for a second row of wheels if you’re going to tow anything heavier than a jet ski.
Triangulation as a minimum.
Cool build guys.
Remember when fitting out the interior, make everything multi purpose if you can.
Check out some factory campers for ideas.
Looking forward to the next episode 😎
@@BisforBuild look into Everlanders youtube channel, they build a system that allows the chassis to flex, keeping the camper safe
I literally haven't smiled for quite a while so thanks for the give away, it did made me smile.
Good to hear your still cancer free, you and the crew make some good builds and can’t wait to see how this one turns out p.s. going have to get some mech to try and win next giveaway
Take a look at how sleepers on a peterbilt 379 or 389 is mounted to the frame and cab of the truck, it still allows for a little flex but is still super strong and rigid
For worrying about flex between the cabin and bed; what if you added a flexible accordion seal like you see on some busses and trains? That ways it’s sealed but can still flex a little if needed?
Daily driver/fun cars are what attracts me to a give away. It's cool to see insane cars, but for me, it's not practical to possibly win a car that I will probably sell fairly quickly.
Hey Chris don’t forget to reinforce the front half of the frame under the cab to help with it not flexing on the rest of the frame!
if its going to be a actual overlander your going to need that flex!!. your essentially building a huge unibody, which will still twist/flex a bit but will need a lot of axle articulation. I'm curious to see how this turns out.
I would definitely consider a 2nd axle to help support the extra feet
I was thinking the same thing.
That or maybe extending the wheelbase if possible?
Lol, I went scrolling through the comments cause I knew someone would have the same idea. Tots would do a second axle if you are planning on towing
Too late now but I would have cut the frame ahead of the axel then exrended it back and filled in the frame gap.
Love the intro! It's always sunny is such a good show.
Don’t underestimate the weight of everything. A 1 ton pickup with an aluminum sled deck with two sleds feels way heavier than you’d think. And this is going to be 3-4 times that weight with similar center of gravity
you could always make the floor wider to add some storage and if you want a toilet or shower in the camper you could have a spot for the water and grey water tanks. just a thought. and i had another idea that you could mount the spare to the back and could hide a light in it.
With that space under the bed, you should look into a generator like for a rv.
Also a mini split heat pump for the ac. We have one on our horse trailer and love it.
God bless you that you are still cancer free and able to do what you love to do.
I myself is 2 years cancer free.
You all are awesome! This build is fantastic and I'm glad you're cancer free!
To make it look more bad ass and probably help with the payload, add another rear axle and make it a 6x6
congrats to the winner! Next contest, i'd love to see an old school muscle car, but with a resto-mod feel to it. Nice A body classic muscle, but with modern stuff....much like Chip Foose style would be totally awesome!
I havent finished the show yet . But look into a sleeper boot to seal the cab to camper , that would get u the flex . For reference look at a peterbilt 379 or 389 sleep boot.
The camper is starting to work out nicely, but more importantly congrats on the continued clean bill of health, Chris!!! 🤟
moooooo yacht stufffff chris. :D can't wait for this land yacht to be completed.
this is my least favorite B is For build project. Being a transit mechanic and dealing with busses. You guys are about to build a shell on your truck, busses are built as cheap and as light as physically possible and they still add A TON of weight to the chassis. matter of fact every single one is at or exceeding its designed chassis weight DRY. unless you build your frame from aluminum and skin it with fiberglass its going to be a solid 3000LBS added to the back of the vehicle. honestly the dodge can handle that, but dont expect to haul anything and be remotely DOT compliant
So fully loaded bus chassis is banana?
i need to add a separate comment involving flex. cab and chassis bus manufactures "solved" this issue in a kinda genius manner and for me to describe it in a comment would be complicated but basically the body needs its own frame and it rests on the factory frame rails longitudinally on a 3/4" rubber isolator, if the frame flexes too much it doesnt effect the body because its not actually attached and the body holds its own rigidity... feel free to message me
@@jwalster9412 b is for banana
Interesting question. I wonder if they have any wieght considerations
@@tacedaddy After seeing more of the vid, I actually agree, the way he is attaching it to the cab...
Looking awesome! Cant wait to see more. Any thoughts on connecting the back to the cab with a flexible material similar to the double-long busses? I'd just worry about hitting a huge bump whiule going fast and breaking the bond.
Loving how this is coming together. This is the perfect build for touring the country for racing with race car in tow. Can't wait for the next episode!
build out the box and seal it to the cab of the truck with a sleeper seal as is done on big rigs every day, us the technology that is tried and true!
Was unsure at first how interesting this project was going to be, but now I can’t wait to watch and follow along! This thing is going to be nasty when it’s finished!
I know you said you are going to do a cage hoop in the back seat of the cab, but are you going to be running structural support from the front corners of the over cab part of the box to the front of the truck frame somewhere? I would think it would help with rigidity
This is finally starting to take shape and is looking good. Yeah, we definitely got hit with some serious snow, glad you were able to make it out safely.
Making it a 6x6 would look badass
Now that you've extended the rear frame, I think you're going to need a 3rd axle just to support the whole camper thing, also to keep if it from tumbling backwards now that it'll surely be rear-heavy.
Third axle, or even sliding the existing axle back would also help with departure angle if they intend to really bring this thing “off-road”. I’d think even a moderate incline would have the tow hitch scraping as it is right now
its not that much weight. I know it all looks heavy on camera but its really not a concern.
@@BisforBuild There's also a 1100-1200lb engine practically over the front axle, and these trucks have damn near 5000lbs on the front two tires, so adding that extra weight cantilevered that far behind the rear axle will be just fine.
You can always add a bigger and heavier engine 😁
@@BisforBuild It's all well and good. We'll see when the whole cabin is built if it'll need it or not. Also reading from some of the comments, you'll probably gonna need additional bracing underneath to further strengthen the stock truck chassis.
I think this is a super cool idea, but the way you've lengthened the rear, it makes it so it will completely useless offroad or climbing. Idk if you plan on doing that, but typically overland means hitting some trails
Fun build! I would check out suspension upgrades to increase total payload - you may want to look into how much weight the system can normally support and what options there may be for adjustable heavier duty suspensiom for the rear.
They had air suspension, and decided that they didn't need it. Even with that, the axle (and wheels, and tires) still has limited capacity.
I'm blown away and shocked to see under the dually fenders were just regular bed sides!! Had no idea!!
It's cheaper to make a whole bunch of regular* beds and add the flares. Also, if one of the flares gets broken you don't need an entire new bed.
@@B.V.Luminous yeah makes total sense (I work in auto parts) I guess being a honda guy for 20 years I never thought about it and had never seen it done. Just a mind blown moment lol.
Can’t wait to see how this turns out. Nice to see an off-road build on this channel.
Chris:Those brzs going in the driveways with one wheel spunning in the air
6:55 that's a nissan.
You guys are building a DIY earth roamer! This is probably my favorite build to date!
Wonder if there is anything softer you could use for isolators on the bed... Would make it able to move more than the standard rubber bushings.
hey where you extended the frame on the truck side might want to drill it out and put bolts through the oem frame through your new frame to give you some shear strength for towing
Don’t forget to move the spare! Would be cool if there was 4 spares underneath
The big and important question,are you going to plate the chassis, especially near the rear of the cab ,you have already been made aware of chassis breaks on Rams ??
I loooooooooove the Idea! You always comes with these weird but EXTREMELY INTERESTING PROJECTS! Its like we just dream of making something very far from what you do but you take it not to the next level but 10 levels ahead! I LIKE THIS PROJECT!!!!!
It will be good on weight. Those airbags might be a good thing for the ride. I think this build is gonna be awesome and useful as hell for you guys. Could put an awesome B is for Build wrap on it for advertising and when not using Park it around town at different spots with your links and stuff on it. I owned a business and did that with our box truck all the time. Just don’t leave it places too long and some you might need to ask. I would move it around the mall parking lot and hospital. Just an idea and will get the attention. Keep on building great builds guys!!!! Love it!!!
How about a raffle to do one of a viewer's project? Some people have dreams of building a car, but it gets challenging at times. One example its me, have a 1972 vw beetle that i was planning on build so i could lear from it but due to health problems and now just got surgery on my knee so it keeps pushing my project farther and farther away! Well, it's my opinion. :)
Hope you go with a super single in the back. Would look mean.
I’d love to win your S85 swapped 240z!! I love that thing! The build series that got me hooked!!
@B is for Build buy a second rear axle and mount it on your extended frame rails. Have a 10 wheeler.
I love the Always Sunny intro
4 door sleeper build/giveaway seems fun
Euro car for the next give a way! Great stuff as always guys!
I'm no engineer, but wouldn't it have made more sense/been stronger to run your 11 foot steel at the outer edge of the floor, then connect it via beams going perpendicular across the frame rails? Seems like its be much stronger that way.
Most camper trucks are chassis cab not trucks with bed due to the frame not being as strong as a chassis cab which can take more load
Stoked for this build Chris, Oscar and Kyle!!!
Rally inspired wrx or lancia delta for a giveaway car would be neat. Much love from a fellow Oregonian, just an hour south of you guys!
You should atleast etch prime before installing bedliner. Bedliner once chipped will allow water and rust.
Long ways behind the rear wheels. Almost need a tag axle. Keep it from getting front end light.
IN RESPONSE TO YOUR FUTURE CAR GIVEAWAYS...I think it's better if you give away cars you build and modify a little rather than exotic and expensive supercars...yes supercars would be cool but I think the majority of simple subscribers as myself wouldn't be able to afford the upkeep and maintenance of supercars..plus we would enjoy and have more fun with a daily driver or one you can take to the track every weekend!!! Just my opinion Chris....and congrats on your positive medical news buddy!
And what a pleasure it would be to win an official B is for Build car all the way in the Caribbean...Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 🇹🇹 🇹🇹
Yessssssss!!!
This is going to be AWESOME!
Giveaway car... Manual Evora S with a BIFB style spoiler would be absolutely the sickest win ever.
Your wheels need arches. It won’t take much of a bump for the tires to hit the bottom of your camper.
Not watched to the end yet but was thinking of an accordian bellows type transition between the cab & the rear. Seen it on many things like train carraiges etc so it does work & remove any worries about flex between two structures. Of course, it would have to bespoke to this build which may be a problem 🤣
I'm disabled and can't afford a new or used car but I'd love to have a BMW X5 !!!!!! Lowered and nice stereo!!!!!!!!!
It’s looking solid guys !
Grab a sleeper gasket for a semi it will allow the flex and keep it sealed
So all you said about the back is exactly why you don't but weld the frame at the front
Jumpacon!!!!! or more realistically you should give away the off road vette kart... (if you still have it) I have always wanted one like that.
Hey Chris All the way from south Africa here, How about an Audi S3 8l model
I love the idea behind a giveaway but the content is the main reason I watch. If your going to do it then make it something you want to build but maybe not keep.
What about something like the bendy buses that have a rubber flex tube in-between the two parts
Just discovered your channel by way of a "LegalEagle" video about the Eleanor clusterfuck. BAM, I'm your newest subscriber!
Didn't check comments, but you might be able to do a 2-inch cab/body lift and make the floor transition a bit more even?
Glad to hear you're doing more giveaways, but tbh I don't think you need to do Lamborghinis or Ferraris or anything. I really like Adam LZ's giveaway method: take a desirable car, restore it to like new condition, a couple proper mods (exhaust, tune, wheels, suspension...), then rinse and repeat.
But y'know, I don't speak for everyone and it's also your thing. I'd be stoked to see anything from a Lamborghini Huracan to a 370Z. Just happy to see you enjoy giving back to your community, and glad to hear you're in good health
Earthroamer builds theirs as one unit. Maybe look into them
Are you leaving the spare tire where it is or are you anticipating relocating it further aft?
You should really consider a Toyota AE86 or just a rear wheel drive converted Honda EG something basic but pretty badass maybe 2j or even a Nissan engine under the head of whatever you build
