I'm not a great welder, I'm a great grinder lol
i feel the low team should get enough time to actually do the mod because the whole point of a low budget is that difference in cost is picked up by the time you put it.
well, as they have stated, it's really production costs. The longer you film, the more you pay for overall production.
That said, time can also be shortened if you put in more work. We've seen how much more work low team need to do, but we DON'T see if Low team had to get more people to help which might be the case.
I could imagine them doing better for the sliders, but nothing else. Still would have been good to see them finish the plans they had
Welding a plate and some rods on rock slider wont increase cost dramatically 🤣also the point is comparing hi vs low how should it be compared if parts are missing
@@piyushverma1139 Yeah, that dosn't. BUt you know what does? Paying your stars for time on set and on camera. Paying your extras. Paying your camera guy. Paying your sound guy. Paying your editors... Do you not know anything about high-level production like this? Just because it's on TH-cam doesn't mean it's not done like TV is. This is far far above "guy in bedroom talking about their opinions."
Time is money. No point in saving money if you could have made more than the cost savings on that time of course if your a 40 hr at leaster this statement doesn’t hold true
Who ever makes the animations for donut really needs a raise for helping explain difficult stuff to us especially when it comes to b2b
They should do an extra episode where Nolan actually finishes fabbing the sliders and skid plates for low truck. Already bought the parts after all.
Yes 🙌
Yes yes
the sliders could have been done the same as the rear bumper and the skid plate could have been just two plates protecting the oil pan and lower part of the radiator

There should be a mid team where Zach just makes it how he wants it in between high and low teams budget
I mean that is basically Money Pit. Just with different cars
Mid would always be the best
Or at the end take all the best off and put them on 1 truck and everything else goes on the other

love how low truck looks like a sleeper version of an off roader with the more subtle body armor. Loving the show in Bristol, England as always!
When it comes to armor I think DIY will always win, you can really add your own touch of creativity and personality when you fabricate your own bumpers
The only way diy wins is if whoever is doing the fab work can design it properly and can weld really good.
DIY only wins if you have the tools to do it or have the money and a bunch of free time to do it yourself.. spending 1000-1500$ on a bumper that can be installed in an hour or 2 will win every time against buying boatloads of tools and spending weeks designing and fabricating your own

I really enjoy how the low team, always seems to think and do like a normal everyday guy on a true budget/I thought the same thing when he was building,like a weekend builder, and I enjoy how they both are honest about there reviews thanks guys
Just remember reviews are based on point of view. If the reviewer doesn't think like you the review won't really reflect what the product will do for you and the way you look at and use things.
Zach is such a clutch dude, the "tell me what you need and I'll work on it" guy.
"It's pretty bad but I'll grind it down" absolute banger of a quote
@Jordan Winders Pretty welds just save you time on grinding which you come to appreciate later on. Keep practicing and try to fall in love with welding as much as you can.
"a grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't" -AvE
@@justy3440 that was gonna be my reply also.
Yea who here hasn't said that at least once lol
Grinders are a bad welders best friend
Honestly, that front "low" bumper is sick.
I would actually prefer to have it over the expensive one considering the weight
ARB is good for anything you can possibly hit with it... kangaroos, wombats, deer, moose, buffalo.... but not noted for prettiness, its all function
The other thing that isn't mentioned about looks in the video is how much trail-cred you have for fabricating your own custom stuff. ARB is probably the most common bolt-on bumper. Works great, but is kind of boring in terms of personalization. If you make a good looking bumper and can say "I made it from scratch", that's double dope.
Thought it was an Addicted Off-road tube bumper I see on other fellow 3rd Gen T4R owners shit boxes
Yea I like everything on low truck better
i'm from Australia and it is so cool to see ARB products being used in the USA. ARB is an Australian company formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1975. ARB is the founders actual initials. Anthony Robert Brown. another great product that the rest of the world probably doesn't even know is Australian designed and originally only made in Australia. your welcome.
I like the choice of custom built. It can be unique, but you can really refine the design to how you want to mix it. There is some good gear on the shelves too.
Man low team really needed to become engineers for this episode lol
Lmao well they put Zach the diy guy on the hi team so their just doomed lol
Very true
they're gonna have to be engineers for almost everything that can be done with tubes and stuff lmao
But that's the fun part
If Aaron can build an FD rx7 without it ever breaking down, then he can definitely Wizz up something for Lo-team but I was kinda hoping him and Nolan would be hi-team

I love how they’re starting off with the “and the furious” part of the build rather than the “The fast.”

@@Frozander yeah I know I’m just saying
@@Frozander It is true though spending thousands on comparisons and we have no static variable or unchanged benchmark. One team is clearly higher driver mod than the other, hard to actually look at the trucks efforts and comparison specs after the fact. When I know a lot of people who could make low truck look like high truck in one run.
I wish at the end of each Hi-Low series, they make an ideal build (combination of Hi and Low parts) for every budget range
Most definitely. I've got a project car in my garage and like doing the fabrication myself. I'm only limited by the amount of tools I'd need to make more custom parts. Of course money becomes an issue with both, but ya really can save a boatload of dollars if you're able to do it yourself, as long as you have the tools, time & material. Plus their's more satisfaction in your work when you're fabricating & installing yourself. Hopefully some day soon more project comes together & works great.

The fact that Low team couldn't finish their stuff in time is the epitome of DIY armor. Often it can be much cheaper, and more suited to your taste and application, but it takes A LOT of time and attention.
So to be honest, IF you place value on your TIME, DIY projects can be time intensive and therefore VERY expensive. A production fab shop can pump out these assemblies much faster than I would using the same assembly fixtures and tooling. Whatever I made for myself was far more than a production piece. They were works of art.
@@lolsurprises9989 It really does depend on a person, very case by case. For me I pretty much fab everything. I find out quite often what I make is superior to what is bought/available but very focused on a specific application. While manufactured products are made to try and cover everyone's needs in the same product which doesn't always work, but that's just the nature of manufactured products and trying to make as many people as possible happy.
Despite the the skill and experience I feel that I am very "cost effective" in labour. Some people think they are so valuable in time that they try to justify a very high rate and/or would put off work based on that alone. Honestly in my opinion only, I think people are only worth maybe a quarter of what they say realistically. From my perspective usually that stems from a big ego, or a large chip on their shoulder. Anyway that's what I think.
With that said, with people in the "I think I can't do that" catagory, they can. And the great thing about us is the ability to want to learn. Building your own stuff is the best teaching/experience tool you can use. My favourite saying goes: How do you build a cage? -Best way is to start fukin up some tubes!
@@lolsurprises9989 It's not really a question of valuing your time imo, most of us have spare time for hobbies... at least anyone who have time to watch this video does. So if you enjoy building things then that's a great hobby and use of your spare time, if you don't then it's not and you should just buy the parts. You should see it as an alternative to watching TV, not an alternative to working.
@@lolsurprises9989 with the more expensive kit I'd say you're paying extra for the convenience as well. Everything is already pre-cut, measured, and all that stuff. I know for me as well I wouldn't have the patience or desire to fabricate one up myself lol
@@CanadaBud23 it depends on the person as well. A 200$/hr dentist could also be a $3/hr welder/fabricator.
This is without a doubt one of the best series on TH-cam. Keep it up my dudes🤙
This is the coolest series ever! I hope they keep doing hi and low off road vehicles!
"A grinder and paint makes you the welder you ain't." - Nolan, probably
-AVE
That’s a Jennies Garage quote 👍
If Nolan knew he had a time limit to fabrication.. i personally think he should have gotten the shipping time of High cars bumper to figure out how to make his.
Yes this would be so much more fair.
100% true.
This is true, but ARB is pre-fabbed in warehouses, coastal off-road is typically only a few days to ship since no true fabrication goes into it. 4x innovations I’m sure took a while, and it would’ve been nice to see low truck in completion.
That being said, a few days at the minimum probably could’ve gotten everything done. They should do an episode 3.5 or something of that
Yeah to do an accurate comparison I feel like you at least gotta let low truck finish, they seemed to cut a lot of corners for the sake of time. If I was actually building these for my truck I wouldn't be in some kind of filming deadline so I might take a week or 2 to build it

This video out of the series is the one that had me in suspense haha. Go team low!
“Nolan continued making excuses for the next 40 minutes” was the funniest part of the episode
i thought it was funny they blurred out the high truck license plate implying they kept that one and sold the other one.
To be honest I think Team Low should be given more time to finish fabricating stuff. Usually you can do it fast or you can do it cheap, but not both.
th-cam.com/video/SXOqUGSlgdE/w-d-xo.html
New idea: Hi-Vehicle gets James plus some general helpers, Lo-Vehicle gets Zach and Aaron plus Nolan. Money vs Skill. Off-the-shelf vs knowledge and elbow-grease.
I think that kinda defeats the purpose of seeing what you can do on a DIY budget, skill doesn't come cheap by any means (unless you have a mechanic in the family that works for beers)
I was impressed by how much difference there was in James fab skills. In the first series of hi car he mostly sat on his arse lol. Now he's actually fabricating!
Different armour for different situations is what this shows. You can tailor it when you do it yourself and anyone can learn to weld. But it definitely does take so much time!
I don't know, the reason servicing cars is so expensive at the shop (at least in my case being a sucker straight 6 BMW driver) is because you're paying for the time an experienced mechanic gets to look at it. In essence you're achieving the reverse. I would rather pay for expertise and medium parts vs. amateurism and top of the line stuff.
@@mattwise9748 most diy-ers are skilled hence why they diy
@@SSEF15 I can only agree with that if the mechanic is actually knowledgeable and good at what he does. It's far too often that you see mechanics aren't very good and have really no clue about what they should be doing

Dude so funny

I did the ole left side double-tap for another go of that editing genius.
I really wish they would’ve given Them the time to see the diy sliders and skid plates. I would love to see that. Even if it was just some protection on the important parts. Not as thorough I guess is what I mean.
Yeah it’s kinda crappy that they get rushed and it’s halfassed
I've built sliders much nicer than the ones Hi Truck has... at a fraction of the cost. I agree... they should have let "Low - Truck" finish their fabrication.
Ran out of time is the worst excuse when your doing DIY.
This is more like "we couldn't be arsed to do it".
i love low team front bumper, and especially LOVE this series because it keeps me from being afraid of trying things i don't yet know, and inspires me to take chances. I love it!
Don't have a press-break at the shop? Lagbolt a couple 4x4 on each side of where you want the bend and take a cut piece of cardboard as a form guide and find some excavator with a one yard bucket or larger, give the guy $20 to press it. Crenelated bends are the strongest ones!
Love these series. However, I do think production time took precedence over quality and content. Low team's lack of planning for a design really put them at huge disadvantage but even Hi team was clearly under pressure for time as well considering the rear bumper wasn't painted.
Yeah, last season they had like 2-3 weeks to film the series, so they probably have a similar amount of time this season
Forget hi-car vs low-car, it is now Tankoma vs Desert Ninja!
Back in the day (30 years ago), I had a Nissan King Cab 4X4 that had a cheapie dual pipe bumper. I just tossed it in the dumpster and went open rear with the stock pan. I took it to Guam, where I was stationed in the Navy. No issues with not having a rear bumper there. Plus, it looked cleaner. Lots of climbing opportunities on the island.
What’s funny is that the front bumper of the Hi-Truck was pulled off in the finale!😮😂😅
I know I know… it can happen but ironic. BUT I’ll take the HiTruck bumper for looks & time required!

It would be great if you did a similar series where both teams had a identical budget and a set task, then spend the money based on each teams preferences so they both have the same $$ into them but in different areas based on your preferences and experience from these two seasons
I have been into Toyota trucks for almost 20 years and in that time and 6 different Toyota off road vehicles I’ve never been able to afford a ARB bumper but I have always been able to access equipment to fab up front bumpers and slider bars, that’s the beauty of the Toyota off-road community there is always someone that’s excited to help you out with a fabrication project
Never have I rooted for Lo-team so much before - the had to design AND FABRICATE their own bumpers. Hi-team just bolted a $1000 bumper on - yeah great man, I could do that and I'm a computer nerd

New subscriber here. This series is hilarious and informative. I'm really enjoying it.
I can honestly say that I am totally impressed with the custom work. While I agree the choices made were much cheaper -- the $800 vs $4000 -- the cost of all the custom work wasn't clear. (did I miss that in the video?)
Two questions I think most of us in the "real world" might have, or at least I have...
1. What would that labor typically cost someone who didn't have connections and friends?
2. What's the difference in added weight between the custom work and the expensive stuff?

Low team gets all the credit at the trail. High truck most people would look at and assume daddies money bought it. They are the ones that call for a tow when stuck or something broke. You look at low truck and know that if they break something or get stuck, they probably have the skills to get home under their own power. Hand fab and built with the cheaper parts is literally what going off road is about. You know stuff is going to break, and need fixing. Why spend thousands more than necessary on the same parts.
Good job, boys.

When we were in high school in the 70 's a friend put a 57 Chevy truck body on a blazer . The front bumper was gone so he made one out of a railroad tie ! He carved it perfectly with chainsaw, sanded and painted it, we would knock down small tree's on off trail excursions no problem
Very good work to low team fabbing that bumper. Only issue is I don't see a place to mount a winch, unless you weld another plate on there. But that would be pretty easy. Over all it's functional and doesn't add extra weight

Smart people would save their money and go straight to Team High. Just gonna waste all of your money buying a cheap car & parts when you can just take your time and save for the good things.
@@Lofi.z34 no dude smart people know how to make their own and sell it to people who have to buy.
@@Lofi.z34 really missing the whole point of this show, sometimes the more expensive stuff simply isn't worth it, unless you just have money to burn its wise to use your money effectively.
@@riz3nfpv306 I was referring to people who spend money buying cheap parts vs higher quality parts. Not being a parts seller or fabricator.
@@Lofi.z34 unless it’s that ugly ARB bumper
If you're going to off road any truck in a serious way, bobbing the back of the bed is probably the single best serious body mod you can do. That rear bumper on Hi truck is a seriously good mod
As well as just approach angle, when lifting your 4wd it reduces your ability to swerve and manoeuvre at high speeds around kangaroos or deer. For overall protection I'd go high car and having a winch is easier to do with the ARB bar.
You don’t maneuver around deer. That’s a great way to end up in a ditch with a totaled car or worse dead. Especially at high speeds. That ARB bumper is good protect and I would let it take the deer head on.
That's nowhere near the point of this comparison. It's strictly an off-road comparison
The editing with Pumphrey's welding-helmet-fail is absolutely epic!

Love how the music kicks in when James flips the mask down but stops when he messes up lol 😆
Yeah, the editors deserve as much credit as the hosts.
I did my own 4 runner lift in my garage with minimal tools. I really dig that you guys are doing work without a big hydraulic lift. Helps me relate. Lol
