with the amount of ice on my van my shop would be a POOL in the morning. No thanks :) and my van is SUPER WARM so being inside the shop is not necessary
I'm wearing layers and a beanie in bed, in a 1933 cottage, in Georgia. It's-1 here. This sweet place wasn't built for the 30- 40 mph winds we had at 2:30-3:30 overnight Thursday- Friday and neither am I. Great to join you on TH-cam and see your smiling face, brilliant co- worker, and Cruzie. Your build is beautiful, and your positive energy is a great comfort. Blessed be, and I'm feeling warmer already!
HOLY COW IT WAS FREEZING LAST NIGHT, I LIVE IN MY 35YR OLD RV AND IT WAS FREEZING COLD, I USE 2 PROPANE HEATERS AND EVEN THEY HAD A HARD TIME KEEPING UP.... 2 OF MY DAUGHTERS BOUGHT ME A DESIEL HEARTER AND I CANT WAIT TO INSTALL IT..... ITS ALL PART OF THE NOMADIC LIFE STYLE, SUPER HOT IN THE SUMMER AND FREEZING COLD IN THE WINTER AND I LOVE MY LIFE STYLE, BEEN AT IT FOR MANY YEARS, AT 65YRS OLD I PLAN ONE CONTINUING TO LIVE LIKE THIS TILL I DIE....
The work you did looks great. I love the green & black on the motor. Your inside front floor looks great. We had bad weather last night here in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA and woke up to -8 degrees F & they told everyone not to go out...stay home!!!
In Middle Tennessee we had minus 2 F this morning. We are having rolling blackouts and will be below freezing until Tuesday. We are not built for this. We have snow on the ground. Take care.
Love what you are doing. The snow looks beautiful. But, you can take your weather back. It was 25°f (-3.888°c) here in FLORIDA! Lol I wouldn't mind it if we could have a white Christmas. But we only get the cold and none of the beauty. Oh well, that's probably for the best here. Lol Merry Christmas. Stay safe and warm
Hi, from the UK, loving your winter series. As in January we are off to do the north coast 500 across the top of Scotland one of the top three road trips in the world we are hoping for snow, so picking up all the tips we can Merry Christmas and thank you.
Love what you said about waiting for your reviews to run out and buy things! I've been in my ambulance for over two years and haven't sound or heat proofed the engine yet - it's on my list! I look forward to hearing how well it works for you!
I follow several other people in different areas here in the US and all are saying the same thing…that the snow is light, dry and fluffy. That in itself seems a bit odd. This year just isn’t going to disappoint us with “ different”, “abnormal” and “ interesting “. Merry Christmas to you and Crusie. Thank you for a very enjoyable year.
Oh, I didn’t realize you needed to ask permission to stay on the property by your garage! I guess you guys probably have the same ice storm we had down in Northern Washington and the airport is closed and all the businesses are closed and it’s just one sheet of ice everywhere. What a great guy to help you fix it in this weather!
I'm glad to see you took my advice about the mirror mount and removed it. Much better views! I'm really digging the the ambulance build! I can also understand going to town for parts. But, if you keep going to Tim Hortons everyday you are going to have an inner tube inside the van! On you! Merry Christmas Chrome! I hope y'all have a wonderful Christmas! PS: did you see the bird on EMI's post bust his butt twice? Hahaha hilarious!
Take care and stay safe in the Snow, Ice pellets, Freezing rain, Strong winds and Extreme cold. I understand you want to get out 🏕🏞🏔 but ...... Just take care!! Anyway Nice to see you put the pants on👖🥶 Happy Holidays to everyone🌲☃🌟
Are you able to fit your van inside your shop and sleep there?! Please stay safe you and Cruz. Also if I don't see another post after this, Happy Christmas to you, Cruz and Catlady! You answered that.
We live in Campbell River.. We had lots of snow too at that time.. But all gone now due to the rain fall we have had since the snow fall. And has warmed up as well.
Hi from New Zealand... Love your vids. You may have it under control already. BUT just in case..Clean/Flush the Diesel Fuel Tank out... There will be diesel sludge which will clog the filters and the fuel system.. Cheers Roger n Erin
Gotta love the snow !! All my friends think I'm crazy living in my van ,they think it's not right or being homeless,it's a choice I tell them and I'm more comfortable and free then stuck in a house .
I'd love weather like this, in the UK all you get at winter is rain and mild crappy weather... tbh the average summer here aint much better. 😁 You guys stay warm dude. 👍🏻🐻❄
Awesome video chrome the engine looks amazing with the green in the black and you have your amazing mechanic Lauren cannot wait to see every new video as you rebuild your ambo. Thanks for taking us along stay warm and be safe. Merry Christmas. 🇺🇸♥️👍🐾🎄🏔️🚐🇨🇦
It was -18C/-1F in Newport, MI this morning. We’re dealing with 50-55 MPH winds and -25 to -35F windchill factors. With the wind, the powdery snow is causing whiteouts. Be safe and stay warm.
@@jeffnorbert1871 They’re calling for 40’s (F) Wednesday and 50’s (F) Thursday through Sunday here in Southeast Michigan/NE Ohio. It wouldn’t be so bad here, but that wind… 😳🥶
Ya I hear ya the snow looks beautiful... For a short time , from indoors AND when u have know where to be .😊 I am enjoying that Ontario is having ur weather n ur having ours 😜
Chrome , I have a diesel Ford Econoline 350 year 2001, with same engine as yours. Its my service truck. Has GVW of 9980 pounds with tools . I have put over 700K miles on this engine. It is a beast for sure . Those head gaskets with the electrical running threw for injectors ..... failed a few times . other then this not a single problem. Still going strong. The 444c 7.3L Is the same engine in school buses. In the vans they are downtuned a bit . Theres a tool that lets you unlock the full potential of this engine, it reprograms computer and allows more fuel to injector. I had three modes fast , real fast and insane . Insane mode was only able to run in warmer temps but .... Its wicked fast . faster then a SS Camaro. This was with the tool weight included.
We did have some amazing snow, but I have had enough of it and now we are concerned about flooding in places. My little yard has so much snow, a couple of mountains from piling it for the dogs so they have a place to play etc. excited to hear the day that beast fires up. 🍻🎄
Yesterday we got 3 inches of snow, but the wind and temperature is really cold. Temperature is 5 degrees with real feel -29 degrees. Michigan. Stay safe.
Why don’t you park your van in your shop in this kind of weather.
with the amount of ice on my van my shop would be a POOL in the morning. No thanks :) and my van is SUPER WARM so being inside the shop is not necessary
I’m thinking that if I did van life I’d have to have a garage to park in when the weather got cold - cause I like to be warm ❄️ ☀️
I'd love to see an ambulance tour of Loren's rig.
Yeah how does he have a wood stove? Interesting
@@Lunarstruck1 I have a cubic mini in my E-250, nice and toasty here in NY
Just thinking the same.
EVERYTHING HAS A PLACE ITS PROBABLY BEAUTIFUL
He has a video somewhere in his catalog
Merry Christmas Chrome and Cruzie! Buy my Cruzie some treats! 🎄🦮🥰🇬🇧🥰🦮🎄
Awe Terry THANK YOU

I'm 2 weeks into vanlife. Last night we had -36 windchill. Stayed warm and cozy with my diesel heater.
I’m sorry your homeless! Like this guy on the video.
I wish the you the best though on getting back on your feet.
@@edyestrada1931 I have a home just like the guy in the video. Get well soon!
Cruz is posing perfectly next to the engine where it says ‘the beast,’ as if he’s claiming that name for himself 😄
Lauren is a master! Such a joy to watch him work!
❤❤💯💯💯💯
Loren is amazing and his knowledge of engines is incredible. Have a wonderful Christmas with Cruzie, Emi and Kelly. Great video as always. 🎄🥰🦮😻🇬🇧😻🦮🥰🎄
Great video. I love how excited you get just talking about your ambulance xx
I'm in Middle Georgia and it will be 15 no wait a minute 14° when I wake up. 😂❄️☃️🎄❄️❤️
Love that QUALITY ENGINE BUILD, Chrome!! Do it right or don’t do it at all!!
My honey says that Beast engine is beautiful . I agree totally. 💚
Loving the build videos! Also love your comment about letting you, the TH-camr, test it out for the rest of us. Much love and happy holidays!
As the old saying goes, 'if your gonna do something, do it right'!
And your engine looks right!
Cool beans ❄️
Hii Chrome & Cruz, I love snow I loved 17 tears in Scranton, Pennsylvania and now I live in Puerto Rico and miss my little town a lot.

Wishing you and your love ones a Merry Christmas 🎄 🎉✨
Maaann THE BEAST is Lookin Sweeet !! Your gonna have a Permanent Smile once you get to stick

Dude,thanks for sharing this process. This has been so fun to watch as it happens.
Merry Christmas.
Loving every video of this build. So much inspiration for my own. Something just rewarding about turning wrenches on your own rigs.
The work you did looks great. I love the green & black on the motor. Your inside front floor looks great. We had bad weather last night here in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA and woke up to -8 degrees F & they told everyone not to go out...stay home!!!
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤️
Chrome has pants on. Real pants. Down to the shoes.
Merry Christmas to you and Cruise, from Queensland, Australia!!!🧑🏼🎄
That's a perfect new t-shirt idea! Cruise underneath the beast engine!
Merry Christmas Chrome& Emi & Cruz& Kelly ... 🌲🌲
In Middle Tennessee we had minus 2 F this morning. We are having rolling blackouts and will be below freezing until Tuesday. We are not built for this. We have snow on the ground. Take care.
Merry Christmas from Atlanta Georgia USA!
Have a Merry Christmas! Thanks for sharing your story with us all Chrome!
What an amazing job on that engine rebuild. Sweet paint job.
YOU HAD AN EPIC YEAR 😎 WHAT A TRANSFORMATION FROM 1YR AGO🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for posting! Merry Christmas from West Virginia!!
Merry Christmas Chrome & Emi, Cruise & Kelly, Hope you have time to do something special over the Holidays like eat, drink, and be merry! 😽🐶🐾🎄🎉🥃🍷🦃
Make a shirt just for Lauren 💙🙌🏽
Hmmm 🤔 ?
• 🧙♂️ a Wizard's hat ?
• Arms raised & outstretched 👾
• Hands with appropriate devices
🔧🧙 🪄
• " _The_ _BEAST_ _Maker_ "
Yup , I'd buy it 👍
BRAVO LOREN ! MAESTRO 👏
You guys have the most beautiful snow stroms. So quiet and peaceful.
Yeah that color combo is really going to pop underneath the hood in that van
To heat the floor remove exhaust and cat aluminum heat divert shields from under body
Merry Christmas! -5 F here last night.
Look at that puppy’s face - he needs all the treats ❣️
Love what you are doing. The snow looks beautiful. But, you can take your weather back. It was 25°f (-3.888°c) here in FLORIDA! Lol I wouldn't mind it if we could have a white Christmas.

Hi Chrome, that engine looks awesome, too bad you can't keep it on display in your shop. 👍👍
Gotta love the snow !! All my friends think I'm crazy living in my van ,they think it's not right or being homeless,it's a choice I tell them and I'm more comfortable and free then stuck in a house .

-8°F with -31 wind-chill in SE Wisconsin overnight. Supposed to stay very cold until next Thursday. Nothing cooperates at this temperature.

Ya I hear ya the snow looks beautiful... For a short time , from indoors AND when u have know where to be .😊

That snow is beautiful but brrrrr 🌬🥶☃️ Some of your cold made it down to Arkansas U.S. last night. It got down to 4°F the coldest we've seen it years!
Bro, be safe out there friend. I think you are such a cool guy, I wish you had the 4x4
Your engine and engine bay is prettier than most of our vans lol. She looks great!
10 degrees here in the south never can I remember us having weather like that here
Awesome thanks for sharing your journey much love and blessings Merry Christmas to everyone ❤️
