We are MOTORRRRING on here! As ever, go check out the guys at VanGo Conversions. Where should I take this thing first? 👉bit.ly/VanGoConversions
Arizona!... We gots the Trails!.. Hey.. Make sure you don't make the Van Guys work for free!.. Take the Schwag but pay them!.. Beautiful Custom Work guys!
oooooo yes!
Come hit Trestle with that DH rig in June, I'll show you around the mtn.!!
By far the best thought out and executed van build out i have seen of any MTber on youtube!!
Awesome! I can't wait to see the final product!
I like the idea of doing nothing but talking while others get the job done :D I´ll try this at work tomorrow :D Awesome Van Paul!
Haha it's a life lesson
🤣
Nice that guys work is awesome love how he’s laminated everything so no fasteners show real clean look
Looks great!
We are planning on getting a team van for this season. Your build has definitely given us some great ideas! Love the van build videos!
Well done Paul! I just put in a Cargo Glide tray. My bed is high enough so I don't have to take the wheels off. Really enjoy your videos.
Undoubtedly the most thought through van build. Great job so far!
Thanks!
The VanGo guys are definately doing some super awesome built quality. I'm suitably impressed!
Coming along really well! Excited to see it completed!
Thanks!
I just can't get enough of these videos! Now I wanna buy a van
I need another van video! Bouncing between you and BKXC looking for new van content!! Keep them coming Paul!
Haha we’ve got 3 more after this in the series
still my favorite van build series I've seen.
Brilliant ,I think i'll try something like that in my smaller van. Thanks
Loving this series!
I have one of those Rocky mounts in my tiny van and it works great, good call!
Those van pro guys a creative geniuses, real artists, making van mobile artistry.
The dog is tuning into the Baby Yoda of this series.
Where are the memes?
The van is coming along nicely 👍
Sure is!
That window is super sweet! Everything is looking great.
Super dialled! Yours is better because you’re already tripping though 😂
yeeeeeeeeeeoooooooo looking good paul can't wait to see the finished thing
Me too Chris!
I love these series
Sweet!
The new Scott Gambler OMG😍😍😍😍😍
Loving these video dude
Beauty project you got here!!! Bring ‘er our to the east coast and check out some of our techy goodness!!!
Mehbe!
You plonka. Loving how it's coming together.
Rockin the rocky mounts whith Rocky Mountain MTB rockin’ on the Rocky mounts rack
Looks awesome Paul!
Looking good - it's all coming together!
Sure is!
I used the rockymount on my seasucker and it was a gamechanger for me. Took some modification but made the seasucker a lot easier to use instead of having to hold the bike in hand, hold the forks etc etc lol
SIIICCCKKKK!! Dude, going to be so dialed!!
It’s interesting to see the different way you and BKXC are doing your vans.
Hi Paul, maybe put some carriage bolts on the mounts, hang the bolt below the tray and tack weld the nut to the bolt. Of course do this once everything is sorted. Good insurance for theft protection, however a pain in the butt if you need to make adjustments. If you need to remove the mounts you would have to zip off the bolt and nut, but that is cheap. Then one last lock on the tray. I work for a large utility company and the guys before me here have been using carriage bolts and welded nuts for a while and it seems to help with theft quite a bit. Project is looking great.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see the point in even locking the fork mounts in. Just remove the quick release on the forks and the whole bike comes out. Minus the through axel
just got some painful dental work done. This cheers me up!
And that's the tooth :) Heal up!
Everyone is just going along's Alex's build haha, I'd have the bed/bike storage exactly the same, not sure about the rest.
Alex's van is definitely a great piece of inspiration for everyone's van.
In truth Alex's van is a pretty standard layout. People have been doing the bed over garage thing for years.
I live this new series, immediately clicked on the notification when I saw it😁😁 can't whait to build my own van when I'm 18
*love
Nice!
@@nissemeys4766 why wait dude. Get some practise on your dad's car so when your of age, it's straight forward. Convert his car to a convertible. I'm sure he'll appreciate it. 😉
@@samoanSAIYAN haha, we have a Nissan pixo it's probably even smaller than my room😂🙊
@@PaulThePunter See Paul, You're already encouraging the next gen to be creative. :D
The clearance on those bikes under the bed is super tight. I hope you accounted for the 2020 Scott bikes and any future bikes with larger stack numbers.
It won’t change :)
Awsome build...
Do you have any information on where they’ve got the breaker switch panels that I see on the right hand side of the bike garage?
Very cool! I am using a Yakima BikerBar for now in the back of my Tacoma Off-road truck, but in the future as I build up the truck I am going to have to get creative for two fatbikes!
#elevationeveryweekend
Oh yeah!
It's coming along nicely Paul. Bob T.
Looking good dude!
Cheers my dude
Coming along nicely Paul. Where do the front wheels of the bikes go?
Very very professional work
Sure is!
Man your builder, he’s a consummate pro!
Ive been thinking of making one for my one bike (with space for a second in the future), but in order to save space, lengthwise and height, I was thinking of removing both wheels.
Thoughts on that?
Sure, may take a minute or so longer to setup or take apart, but it will save on space big time.
Everyone is going to van life now, bkxc, the singletrack sampler and you. It must be a fun life
Wow that’s everyone!! 😂
Really nice Video!
How long are the rails?
Oh nice dude
Love your chanal
Keep doing what you are👍
Thanks my friend!
Maybe consider using a silicon around the perimeter of the tray so the water from the bike after washing it doesn't get into the cracks and ruin the ply tray. Great videos of the build. And fun.
Not a bad suggestion!
Amazing build
Thanks!
that was so nice I had to watch it twice
Awesome :)
Didn’t know Rocky Mounts made this locking mount. Nice!
that vans pimped paul hope you enjoy it
Thanks Sean!
What are the dimensions of your tray?
This is a sick mtb van
Love the van
Thanks Sam!
Hello, I'm looking to do the same for my van, I would like to know where you bought the slides for the 3 MTB? (I'm in Europe sorry if the translation is not good)
Many thanks for your reply!
It's coming together so sick! Stoked for the next one! Cheers :D
YEEWWW!!!! \mm/
✌️
Paul what was the black material you put on the top of the wood for the bikes to sit on?
Hi Paul, How wide was the tray?
phew that's a tight squeeze. hopefully will still fit with any future bike changes.
Well nothing will change for next year :)

That's going to be one heavy ass van. Interested to see what your mpg ends up being.
Bill Trickel I have the same van and added about 2500 lbs when it’s fully loaded and get 17.5 mpg on average
Nice van so far but why are you putting the axle mounts at an angle on the bike tray?
What are you going to do with all the front wheels
Single track sampler definitely turned his handlebars first, but it's definitely still a great idea
The build is coming along great! I've heard you mention converting the DH bike into a Mullet a couple of times. Make sure you look into that. From everything I've heard, it's best to start with a 27.5 bike and add the bigger front wheel. When you mullet a 29er, the geo tends to end up pretty far off. Much slacker, lower BB, slacker seat angle, etc. Might not be too big of an issue with a DH tho, since you won't be pedaling much 🤷♂️
Well don't forget the gambler is designed for both. so it doesn't matter. :)
@@PaulThePunter: I wasn't aware of that. Let us know how it rides. I'm definitely curious about trying it
Chump MTB Brendan Fairclough runs a mullet setup on his gambler, and he doesn’t run a custom rear end or anything. The gambler is just so adjustable that geometry isn’t an issue.
Very good.... but where are the front wheels going to go ?
why is Paul’s van turning out better than my house
🤷♂️
When you make your commenters sound like they’re whining it reflects poorly on you. Sweet van Punter.
What do you mean?
What is the material you used to line the bike tray?
Very clean... I always wondered in the other builds I've seen, no one turns the axle mount at a slight angle. Where do you store the front wheels?
All will be explained
Who needs a front wheel. More aerodynamic and less weight!
😂😂😂
jeeez this is sooo gooood
Thanks Filip!
Should be titled, "watching a guy building a rack"
Love it😍
Wheyyyy!
These bike mounts have been done before with the same setup but with three bikes by Singletrack Sampler.
I think you should turn that slider into an alfresco bed ! With potential for tent cover ! 🔥🔥🇬🇧😀
Haha that would kind of defeat the point of having a van 😂
😂
Where do the front wheels fit in?
I'd be getting some of those peddle sock things!
It probably won’t move around...but might test!
These guys should do this sort of thing for a living.
I LIKE THE STAFF. YOU ARE AWESOME. PEACE BROTHERS
Do a van tour next please.

What brand was the dirt jump bike you had?
You really are a punter! Let the guy work you ninny! Paul the Ninny!
Lol it's a collaboration
Lol! He doesn’t need your help!
@@andrewrivera4029 Lol!.. You don't need to comment. Wasting oxygen and electricity.
samoan SAIYAN right! Already unsubscribed! Lol
And what about the front wheels?? Where are they going to fit?
All will be revealed in due course....
Question...where will be store the front wheels? :-)
Hey Paul, what's the total spend?
How tight are clearances all around? As in, when the van is moving and bumping up and down, and forks and shocks and tyres are compressing etc, is there wiggle room so that levers and pedals don't gouge the surfaces? Or get gouged? Just hard to see on camera exactly, but genuinely curious as to how much play the pro installers allow, for future builds myself
They won’t. Suspension and tires wouldn’t compress with the insanely small amount of force that’s being subjected to them.
Awesome good to know. Thanks Paul!
Can you share where the final shims for the mounts were sourced? I've been planning something similar for a bike tray in my van.
Uhhhh hmmm I think they just bought them from Rona/Home depot. Nothing special!
Look like framing shims. You can get them at any hardware store
Cool. I'll take a look.
Nice! Do you have any info on the sliders? Where can I find those?

@@PaulThePunter Thank you Paul!
How about your front wheels?
Pro tip: print out a photo of the packed bikes so you'll always have a quick reference of the correct orientation of all the parts when you stow them away.
It's a good tip! But as a car packing jedi, I'll never need it :)
@@PaulThePunter Famous last words ;)
Is it not easy to add a plastic box to back of van to carry bikes or stuff? It seems that bikes take up a lot of garage space under bed. I wish you save riding. One of the worse falls I ever took was plying down hill on a bike. I ended up in a creek and arm injury.
Prático sistema de carregar a bicicleta
When deleting a card or flash drive or else, first thing to do is to stop recording on it. Then use a software to recover your deleted files. I've used PC Inspector File Recovery though more user friendly are on the market now. It saves me and friends too.
I know it's kind of an extra step, but you could pull the pedals off the dirt jumper since it doesn't get nearly as much use and avoid risking chipping the paint on the other bikes.
Can you tell me what runners you use please

Oof, those panel gaps make baby yoda cry. Missed opportunity to have garage lighting.Have fun loading in the dark or trying to see which breaker you've tripped when its pouring rain.
Oh noooo, it only we’d thought to put lights in! Shiiiiiiiiit
That's why a have truck! Nice work though
What is the Name of the slide out? Cant find it... thx 🤘
