I’m a girl, so why am I so excited about this engine? Well, I just am. I guess the meticulous work those two guys are doing is totally drawing me in! So fine!!!
Lauren needs a TH-cam chanel.
I could watch a learn a lot from him.
When I think back on the very beginning of your vanlife and how far you've come I'm glad to have followed the journey.
I agree.😊
Lauren is an absolutely amazing mechanic! He know what he is doing!!!
I know nothing about vehicles except driving one....but watching Loren working on putting back the parts in that engine was like watching a Surgeon at work. He was meticulous. Can't wait to hear that engine roar to life. I am excited for you Chrome. Enjoy and keep having fun working on that ambo.
Of course Cruze deserves those treats! He worked so hard at tearing the box apart man! Haha! What a cutie pie!
I never worried about my propane heater with all my fresh air leaks
Ok, this was the BEST video ever! I love, love, love watching mechanics put things together while explaining what and why they are doing what they’re doing! That said, no, I don’t want you to separate out the shop ambo build from vanlife videos. Keep them all together and keep creating the vids you do! ❤
I have to say I needed a laugh today,. ty Cruzie!
Don't ever sell yourself short, Chrome - Your're a content beast! I love what you are doing with the ambo. You are creating some must see youtube for all of your audience. Please keep these build episodes coming!
No so bad on the east coast today. No snow but a big wind and rain storm coming in on Friday. It’s like things had flipped. Anyway, Merry Christmas and happy new year 🇨🇦🎄
loren is such a cool dude! i love it when he explains stuff for us to understand. Truly a master in this field!
Loren is a legend & such a perfectionist, Chrome you are so lucky to have met him! Merry Christmas Loren, Chrome & Cruze 🎄🍻💙🇦🇺
Dude I've been so busy with work I'm behind on your videos. But I gotta say, YOUUUU did an amazing job bro. From someone who had never welded, to bust out a floor that nice is incredible!! You're a super talented man Chrome
And that motor!!!! Daaaaaymn!!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the love 💯
That engine is Wicked, Chrome...Wicked!! And, Cruzie 🐻 was so adorable and so smart to get into the Advent treat box!! Loren's the man!! Didn't appear to get even 1 spot of grease on that "bad boy", tricked out engine!! What a pro!!! 🇺🇲
Once he moves in too the ambo, van life meet ups with chrome will definitely remind him of the low rider days with his truck open showing off THE BEAST 🎉
Definitely made a trend
Everyone should definitely do the same thing
In the town I grew up in closed an entire road for sledding. It was too steep to drive on anyway. They would line the bottom of the hill with hay bales to stop you. Every kid in town was there when it snowed. Merry Christmas Chrome and Cruz
That's great you have that shop to work in. I bought a small piece of land on the outskirts of roswell,NM with a storage shed and place I can work on stuff
It’s cold here in Kansas too but barely any snow. We’ll take some moisture. Merry Christmas 🎄!
Looks fantastic buddy you are doing extremely well this job should last you for years. This is better than any shop could do.
love the technical details about the engine work, keep it coming
@vancityvanlife Chrome, this project is so different than your current home because you’ve built your brand and relationships that give you the resources (both financially and in terms of just knowing who to reach out to). You’re starting from a completely different place than you did 5 years ago. The Beast and the ambulance are going to be epic. I’ve been following you for more than 3 years now and have watched what you’ve done with your current home. I know we are in store for something truly special with this project!
That video was amazing I enjoyed every minute of it thank you. Oh and I had a giggle at Cruz opening the box of his treats.🥰
Great video Chrome, Loren is a true master of his craft and is doing a beautiful job on your new home. Been watching you for years and enjoy all of it. You inspired me to buy an RV which I will be moving into next year. Merry Christmas to all of you.
Wow Chrome the storm is coming near you. I can’t wait until it snows in NewJersey!! I know Cruz is snuggling with you how adorable 🥰. Big hugs 🤗
This one did NOT disappoint, Chrome!!! Loren is a master at his craft and your van will be so much the better for his wizardry!
Cruzie is adorable. I don’t have a clue what your doing most of the time in your videos but I love your determination to research the best way to do things. I enjoy your channel
Him wearing the beast merchandise while working on the beast engine is an awesome touch for the video
-35’c in Calgary this morning
- 44 Tuesday in Edmonton. My blankets were like cardboard when I woke up. My window covers were one block of ice stuck to the windows.
That is some really dry snow.
Duuude, this was one of those videos I didn't want it to end. I could watch u and Lauren work on that motor and van for hours. So cool and interesting. Motor looking SICK!!!
We need a side by side photo( before / after ) of the engine! Looks gorgeous!
Loren is great.
As for Cruzie, they are his treats, not like none of us fail to stick to a schedule on treats.
Lauren is such a kickass dude I could watch him talk about engines for hours.
Can't wait till you turn the key and say...IT. IS. ALIVE!!!
Wow what a mechanic. Top notch! Please stay safe.
Given the design you're putting into the *engine*, The Beast is going to be beyond awesome once it's all done.
That tip on oxygen and propane heaters is priceless. Thank you
The Beast engine looking sweeeeet AF bro. Question did you do a video on Lauren van as yet? His rig looks sweet as well. Stay blessed keep warm stay safe one love from beautiful Trinidad and Tobago ❤ 🇹🇹.
I haven’t seen a vid on his rig, would like to though!!
I second that
So RAD... I hope Danica carries on your lifestyle and maybe she will want to Inherit the Van once THE BEAST is READY... 🗝️💕
Its great to see a master of his graft at work, Lauren is top drawer!!
I keep imagining some mechanic at some point down the line opening that hood for some little thing and being completely blown away. 🤩
Amazing watching Lauren! and fabulous looking engine!
I'm totally crushin on Lauren ✨💖✨
I love his energy!
That engine 💚💚💚
The stickers may be on the engine, but I say Loren is THE BEAST!
Enjoy watching the work being done…great content!
BRING IT!!!!
We had a beautiful powdery snow down here. We had a lot of it too, a lot. It’s not snow much the snow but these temperatures suck. We just have to get through today and then it will warm and then the real muck will start.
That engine is awesome! It's cold here, too, Chrome. 10 below zero Fahrenheit, today. Keep warm. Lauren truly does need his own channel. It's been fun to learn about building the guts of a vehicle!
Check out closed cell spray foam for insulation
The beast with the 4 claw marks reminds me of what you get when you buy monster brand stuff from wish!!!!! 😂 The ambulance is going to awesome.
Frolicking in the snow doing donuts in the parking lot awesome i love 💕 that always did it festiv for me
I’m in Ky USA and we just hit 4 degrees yea this sucks lol
It looks like art. Wow!😊 I love Loren...what an artist. 😊
In my tiny apt I turn my main heater halfway down and the other one all the way off. I wake up sweating under my blanket but its pretty cold in the home. I turn heaters back on then jump back into bed till it warms up.
These flakes are huge and so fluffy! And now it's-10C on Whidbey! We have 5cm of ice on the roads! So crazy!
I'm 75% done with the video and its completely amazing. How thorough this guy and the b-roll and music freakin awesome!
We need a tour of Lauren's ambo!!!!!
Wow… just wow, engine looks awesome. Loren is the man!
That is tooooooooooooooo much snow!!
no such thing. well for me anyway
Thanks for making my day with another great shop video!
A beast for sure. I have a feeling the interior is going to be over the top also. Great job chrome and Mr. Lauren I'm totally enjoying all the video work you do man. Thank you you help inspire me.
YEA THAT GREEN is too nice to be hidden. You have to do it to the outside in some combination,and with the HULK graphic.💪💪😁
Buddy Heaters have a low oxygen sensor. It works. Almost too well. Still, DO NOT sleep with one running.
You're like a proud papa Chrome. I can't wait until you crank that "Beast" up.
Your Ambo is going to be Wicked.
😊
Yep that happens to me. I turn the heater down all the time. I love the information you're giving about the heater. that is need to know info. Ty
Our winter storm warning changes to a blizzard warning sometime thus afternoon. Your best is almost John Deere green. Cool. Even if no one ever sees it.
“Question is, can you still do donuts, haha. Oh yeah…” too funny!
That is one beautiful motor, I have the 7.3 in my F250, if it ever goes out you have been an inspiration to me, I will do the same thing, Great job Chrome.
I had to change those Valve-cover gaskets in vehicle on my F350.......... Got it done, .... But, it wasn't ..REAL fun..........
Best looking diesel motor I’ve ever seen, looks bad to the bone Chrome I love it. Will catch you on the next one
That engine is epic! Nice job Chrome.
Those are amazing snowflakes!! Beautiful!!
looks like the east coast and west coast have changed winters no snow here nothing but rain on east coast here in nova scotia
right now thrusday in Des Moines Ia at 5:23 it's -10 below
That’s adorable, Cruz with the calendar. Lol
I appreciate this video. I wondered how you were doing in this storm. I like the detailed info about the consistency of the snow. Thanks for sharing! 🌨🙏💕
Remove your exhaust and cat converter aluminum heat deflector hields for instant floor heater
Happy Christmas to you and your little dog 🐕 ❤️
Hey chrome, what an awesome video cruz is too funny when it comes to his treats I love your lime green engine. It is so awesome and Lauren is an amazing mechanic. You are blessed to have him. You did an amazing job. Fixing the rust on the floors of the ambo you guys always make my day. Be safe and stay warm merry Christmas. 🇺🇸♥️🙂🎄🐾🏔️🚐🇨🇦
It's -12 Celsius where I live. Usually around 32°Fahrenheit.
2 headed Beast 🙃 or incredible hulk ie big and green.
That engine is going to be great, and with the transmission already built, unstoppable.
The creativity, thought, planning and logic behind the design is beyond amazing!
the highlight of my day love from South Africa where we have summer of 28c or higher
Merry Christmas
That engine looks gorgeous Bravo Chrome Bravo
Super ! Super nice video ! In Alberta is - 40 and Sam people live in the van and no have shops and nothing!
I had to rebuild my engine for the bus just after the Quayle s brewery meet up would recommend getting military grade tires from your friend Jeff with the 62 VW bus
I can't wait to hear the beast running again. lol That ambo will be awesome.
Merry Christmas Chrome
Merry Christmas to all. OKLAHOMA will have very cold weather and wind.
Seeing the paint job on that engine I can't wait to see the paint job on the ambo!
Chrome I can’t wait to see what kind of a design the interior takes.
Lol, he worked hard for his treats!
The storm is making its way everywhere in Canada! I’m 40+ hours away near Montreal, and we also have a big storm starting shortly.
Yes, big tires Chrome
Loren is amazing.👍 yea, you’re Okay too Chrome.
I have never in my life seen snow like that.
