Definitely needs heat barrier on transmission tunnel. When I did the Powahstroke I put heatshield on firewall but didn't put anything on the trans tunnel and it got so hot you couldn't touch it and it was miserable. Pulled the trans tunnel and added dynamat and aluminum heat shield. So. Much. Cooler!
Please: constructive criticizm here, because I really like your channel. The rigs you work on and build are absolutely bad-ass! And your skillset and craftsmanship are excellent. Buuuut,,,,,,,,, I can't help but find great humor in the irony of you always stating you are trying to "grow the channel". But then, "off camera this happened". Not sure which you say more? And, I'm sure it already haunts you. But seriously, I'm sure most of us are here to see "look at me build". Not "look what I built". Sorry man. I know that camera has got to be a PITA. But, showing what you did will never get you as far as showing what you are doing. This video had lots of great content. But, there have been a few bummers along the way. Like I said, constructive criticizm. Now that that is out of the way, LOL. I just did the exact same thermal barrier treatment under my tow-pig ('06 5.9/6-sp). The barrier itself is most excellent! The tape? Garbage. I'm currently looking for something better to go back over all the seams as half the original stuff is gone already (about 6 months, maybe 800 miles?).
I appreciate that and I try to find a balance. My business comes first, and sometimes I have to sacrifice some footage for the sake of making progress in the evenings after paying work. I also try to leave out some of the boring bits. I imagine watching me spray lizard skin and bedliner would be like watching grass grow.
@@OldIronOffroad Glad you didn't find any offense in my post because there was none intended. Keep up the great work. A video suggestion if I may since we are here: A background video maybe? How to did you become this premier IH builder? Are you a fabricator by trade? (I would venture a guess that is a yes, LOL) I know I find those types of videos very interesting. And it seems they do really well for other channels.
@@OldIronOffroad And yea, I definitely get "the business comes first". (at this point im commenting simply to BS and help the algorythym, LOL) I own/operate a CNC machine-shop. My life revolves around it. It has to. The only thing in line in front of it is family. Which also happens to be my greatest motivation. But, even that suffers at times because of it. I totally understand. I have people tell me all the time I should do youtube about my work. Three problems: * I freaking hate cameras *I am extremely awkward and have zero filter (in person (on camera)) *I am a one man band. No way I could be productive dragging cameras around! No freaking way. So, you definitely get my respect for your work ethic. Because I have a pretty good idea how much work goes in to putting the vids out. Before you even sit down to edit! I made my first comment before I even finished the vid. Now that I finished: I think the FF montage, then stop to explain, is a great compromise. I enjoyed this one! FWIW, this is probably my favorite current build of the channels I watch. Good stuff!
I have an Auxbeam GB80 in my van and it makes wiring up multiple lights/accessories super clean and easy.
I’m really enjoying this build. The fit and finish is great
@@JohnBurge-t1e thank you!! Body is gonna be what it is but everyth6else should be nice!

Definitely in the plans!!
Love the build and old scouts. If I didn’t have the bronco it would be a scout.
Thanks man!! Nothing wrong with an Old Bronco!!
@ I have owned a scout 800. And currently trying to pick up a couple more.
@@brassknucklecustoms nice!!
