Making my Camper Van unique

- In today's van life video I set off for the barn, in a secret location. But on the way I had a very exciting stop over at Rogue Alloys, to get my new wheels fitted! I went for the Ducato version of the Raptor wheels with the BFG tyres, But they have a huge selection, and it was a great service! So it's well worth checking them out:

Thanks to Mel for sorting out my spot at the barn! If you want to check out his channel it's here:

And of course the video wouldn't have been complete without a little stealth camp thrown in! So I headed to a cinema car park and made some 'dinner'.

Wheels look spot on dude!
It never stops when you build your own, you just start and carry on :)
4 years after buying the T5 I still find things to improve every time I use it!
those wheels and tyre combo are THE ONE :) the van is looking mint!
Yeah I’m loving them!
Another trip to Swindon I see, at my gym again too!!!
Rogue Alloy are brilliant. I’ve had some Tomahawk Kato’s with BFG tyres put on my T5.1. So impressed with the service I got from RA. 👍
James & Chris at Rogue Alloys are the business. Top blokes and I’m not just saying this coz they gave me a T-shirt at VanLove Fest earlier this year. Best technical advise and aftersales support around 👍👏 Yours look the biz to 👌
About bloody time Adz, some of us only just found your channel, binged all 62 videos in a weekend & have been waiting for weeks haha
Aww that took me back to my warm bread fingering days of youth 😂 nothing like it, better when it's still warm. Wheels look fabulous, doing the Pigeon proud 💕 fisting and rims all in one episope 😳
You can park there all night Adz, they do shut that barrier but up by KFC its a straight road out with no restrictions.
good to see your videos again. miss the caddy
I hope you checked that the wheels didn’t change the speedo calibration (just use a GPS speed app on your phone), because sometimes changing to different wheel sizes can cause the speedo to read wrong. Oh and move your phone to one of the air vents to your left, then you won’t get twat valley police thinking you are on the phone when your arm is leaning on the window seal. Our company sent out a directive last week to move all phones to the centre of the vans to avoid this problem after someone got a FPN similar to like you did.
Yeah my Speedo is accurate with the gps still. And yeah I was thinking that about moving the phone. I think I’m actually getting a fixed sat nav now too so I won’t need the phone there at all
Always funny, don't stop with the hilarity!
That poor bread loaf 😂 like the wheels
That place is the Vanitorium, where vans go to get better.
You are the man your a bit of wide boy i will always watch take care
Wheels look slick, you finger blasting that tea cake cracked me up 😂
Good luck with your build Adz
I can confirm kwick fit do have a coffee machine
The rogue alloys are next level 👏👏
Adz you are a joker of the highest quality pure jokes 🤣👌👍💣
Lovin' all your vids Adam. Keep'em goin' Fella
What an amazing difference this alloys have made, looks the dogs now mate so much better , bet you’re chuffed with them. Great little vid and looking forward to seeing it unfold.
After all the van build videos I've watched, no one's ever mentioned 12V Planet. Thank you! (PS: Nice little rap/poem at the end.)
Loving the new shoes on pigeon Adz they look ace. Ps remind me never to let u make me a sandwich 😊. Can’t wait to see the finished project. Maxx
Those wheels are amazing 👍
Wheels looking gooooooood mate, we could call you Sergeant Adz to match the military truck 👍🏻 Any news on the old bill and the bollox about the phone yet 🤷🏼♂ looking forward to seeing the results of all your hard work and keep it up as your channel is brilliant.
Well a double dose of Adz this week your channel and and Mel’s 🙂🙂
Love the way you drive 100 yards to go to a gym where you run no where! 😅
Yeah but the gym had a long corridor to get to the changing rooms so it cancels out the drive
Lovely wheels❤
I bought some "cc2" wheels from rogue alloy. Can't recommend them highly enough. Service was brilliant and I am very happy with the way they look on my vivaro.
Wheels look great I’ve had a couple sets of the bfg tyres on my discovery 2 never been a problem 👍
Love the Pigeons new wheels mate, 👌 looks great 👍
You might want to get winter tyres if you are heading north into Scandinavia. I'm not sure about the ones you put on as I'm no expert but living in Sweden there is certainly studded winter tyres and the softer compound non studded type. You could possibly pick up a decent second hand set on your travels north. Good luck!
Wheels are fantastic. Can't believe they had your van balanced on Jack's COWBOYS or what.
Great having dry storage area to work on the van 👍
Master chef
Nice video EDD sorry Adz lol, cant wait see the finished van.
Haha thanks mate!
I don't often leave comments but just wanted to say great channel great vids . I've enjoyed the journey. Your a natural at this. Thanks mate solid entertainment. I forsee a netflix series in the near future !
Thanks mate! And I’d love a Netflix series one day so I’ll keep my fingers crossed 😂
Be interesting seeing your tour to Scandi. Been there in Summer by ship, and they say they can`t get out, or in, in Winter.
It’s going to be a challenge that’s for sure haha
What a fantastic place to build your van !!!!!
How awesome Adam ! Good to know we will enjoy your lovely wacky self more ya! Thankyou for being a good guy to killem for the win another super sweet guy from the U.K. hoping to see you both do a camping video. He's so genuine as yourself is love ya from California . 😊❤❤ . This is the one .you have the coolest voice .
My BFG's hum a little at a certain speed but my T6.1 is sound proofed to a certain extent so not a problem, My previous car used to have more road noise on normal tyres to be honest. A nice comfy tyre that should serve you well in the arctic regions.
You’re a clever lad 👍😎
Stunning rims love the look
Great update mate, the wheels look awesome too. Looking forward to the next one 🙂
Just a thought, if you are heading for the artic, is it worth fitting an engine block heater to avoid any diesel freezing issues?
I was at rogue alloy's last week got nice set of rims and tyres for my truck I got the Grabber's AT3 well happy 😁My motor drives lovely top company 👍
Can't believe you're back in Greenbridge! Maybe one day I'll randomly drive past you 😂
I have a very out there maxi with a Japanese sort of wave and sunrise all across the van! ✌️
Cracking vanlife TH-camr!
Loving your food segment 😂😂you came to my hometown 😂😂
Those tyres look well capable
Looks quality mate 👌
Good luck buddy, I bet you’re really excited to get stuck in!… I’ve converted a couple of vans now and I have to say, I’ve never been able to dedicate 2 weeks solid to doing it… the joys of not being married eh?! 😁
Look forward to seeing your next video.
Awesome wheels and tires! Makes the van look great! Sure enjoy your videos.
If you are coming to my neck of the woods before april - Budget for a set of studded tyres. The continental winter tyres are ok in the cities, we use them in Stockholm, but if you are bound for the arctic, you really need studded ones. Cheers
Those wheels are minted! Great choice!
Vans looking better each episode.
Always fun to watch along.
Thanks mate!
Wheels look 👌🏻
Entertaining as always Ad, Cant wait to see the build update. This Scandinavian trip sounds epic 🤙🏻
Loving the new wheels ❤ 😂😂😂😂 it was so funny when the bread went flying awesome video can’t wait to see how the van build turns out 😊👍
Thanks mate! We should start a boxing league with bread gloves 😂
@@Adz 😂😂😂😂 lol that would be hilarious
Wheels look amazing Adz. Going to epic when finished pal 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice Adz, wheels are looking good. keen to see the finished van.
Love your videos, Your van will be brilliant when you finish, The wheels are great. stay safe.
Thank you! And yeah I’m living the wheels!
Loving the build. Keep up. The good work and the pidgeons will come :)
Thanks for the brief lesson in how to eat food 👍
I have been waiting for the next instalment ❤
7:23 Hoo yea
Crack on Adz, a very double entendres 6.9👍🏻
Ops didn’t realise I miss pronounced your name 🤣😂👍
Those rims and wheels sweet as hell. Been following the channel since the your first pigeon build . Love the content.
Cool ...Looking forward to next Vid
Good show mate! Who was that old geezer with the glasses...did he say his name was Mel? 🤣👍🚐🐕👊
Wow cool bud, they look really good on the van, and the tyres are well suited for your adventures..stay safe !!!!
Yeah they have made it look so much better!
Cheers mate 👍
New subscriber here, Van looks mint and the Rogue Alloys have transformed the look! Rogue are definitely on my list of options for my build.
Love the content mate and can’t beat giving a loaf a good fisting 😂👍🏻
JP - Living the dream 😎
Thanks mate! Hope you enjoy the channel!
Great video Ed
Sorry, Adz
Thanks mate!
Looking forward to the build - shame you won't be filming much of it as its always interesting to see what goes into them. Now the ecoflow hs been replaced - what did you think of it? The wheels are top notch!
That looks like Greenbridge. Round the corner from my yard..
Boule means ball in french and it's pronounced "BOOL" 😁
Make those wheels were coming across a bit noisy!!!
Loved the rhyming 👍
As a Canadian who lives in 18-month winters... Blizzaks
Yes geezer those wheels are beauti, the pigeons coming along nicely 👊🏼👌🏼 ya gotta sort that mess 😂👌🏼
Wheels and rims look sweet as Adz, will you see any change in fuel economy with those bad boys?
Will larger wheels show a difference on your spedo mate ?????
I never got a caramel latte!!! 😔
Hi Adz ..rather than all those permanent power boxes you have shown ..why didnt you jus use the Ecoflo pro ?? and wire up yr van to it ..that way you can take it out (for safety when u dont use the van ) and also its the only power station that you can charge from an EV point ..now that Cosco are selling them at a knock down price of £2.4k with a 2 year warranty.
I wish I could’ve done that to keep things simple but unfortunately power stations (apart from one that I know of) can’t run more than 10amps on the 12v side. So no diesel heater unfortunately. And it’d be a struggle to even use a water pump when the lights are also on etc. Plus Dc to Dc charger. But hopefully they will start making them more suited to van installations soon!
** waves from Reading **
isolate the crap out of the cab area and you will have nice soundproofing and warmth. win win. alot of work tho. :D
Another class video 👍 you were very funny on Mels channel 😅😅
Is it a inverter charger or just an inverter and what size is it if you dont mind me asking.
Still trying to work out what I'm going to need and if I can do it myself or if I'm going to have to pay to get it fitted into my van.
Cheers and good luck next week.
Thankfully I am over that age of "wheels" that I care only the price and mileage and how silent they are but I know someone got to buy those of course! 😆 and there is even bigger problem now ahead, hope no one nick those off!
Hi how are you doing
the bread bit... said without a hint of sexual inuendo !!!!! Good luck with the build
O yes sweet
I like the hoody. Where can a bloke get one?
#breadingit free access to the pigeons only fan channel
Those wheels are the FOUR.
Did you get a spare wheel and tyre the same diameter?
Looking forward to the next vids.
PS: That two finger method, is very effective 😀
I haven’t yet but probably will before I leave the UK. And yeah it works a treat! Haha
proper scraaan lad
I hope you checked those new wheels are legal for your van...alot of folk dont realize they have to be the same as the maufacturers load specs etc
Looking good mate. Excited to see the end product out of interest do you watch jakes journey mate ? He has been on a good trip to the artic circle.
Hi mate, can you give us a heads up of how much these Bfgs cost please.
Have you thought about getting a bike to show some of the areas you stop without taking the focus from van life.
Well ! Are the tyres noisy or not ?
