Very informative vid for others thinking of doing a conversation Rich. Not as scary a job as you would first think. Looking forward to the rest of this build👍
@@Bugoutvehiclesuk We did have some fitted with a basket type guard with mesh so you could still see filter, made by a third party, do not know the make unfortunately.
Looking forward to seeing the merc come together, got me considering a bit of van life now! Also liking your new style of videos, seem more confident and engaging 👍🏻👍🏻
Another good vid, be careful about having open drink containers in passenger side drink holders. We use these vans for work and have a few have issues as fluids run down from there and knacker electrics below stopping van starting. Look forward to seeing the rest of this build
Great video, as usual. Very neat fitment. Couple of OCD tips when fitting a snorkel.... Cover an area larger than the template with masking tape, and then stick the template to the masking tape. You'll generate a LOT of hot swarf as you drill holes (especially if you end up using a dremel to tidy up or enlarge the hole) and it'll fall down behind the template and can damage your paint while the template is keeping it all pressed against the paint. When you're fitting the top mounting bracket, check that you're not going to be drilling through any spot-welds in the a-pillar. If there IS a spot-weld where you need to drill a hole, forget about drilling that hole. You'll struggle to drill the hole, break drills and end up just ruining the paint so either ignore that hole or drill it in a slightly different place and then drill a matching hole in the bracket. Dunno if this actually applies to the Sprinter but it definitely DOES apply to some other vehicles (such as my Disco 2) so use your loaf and check for spot-welds before you start drilling.

Very nice to see the van coming on!
Great job Rich , I'm enjoying watching the build 😀
Looking forward to the rest of this build... :)
Glad to see Rob back for the eye candy 😉
Working with him now. He said hello.
Great to see the start of the conversation,
Great video. Top tip. Rub some grease or vaseline on the rivnuts to stop water being trapped in the compressed joint
Absolutely great how to guide with a bit of humour as always excellent stuff
Looking forward to more episodes on the Merc. Great content as usual.
Cracking idea with the hole saw, look bang on we can go play now
Sounds like a plan
Nice to see the Sprinter getting sorted
Thanks pal
Great bit of kit thanks for sharing the install 👍

Had one of those cyclone air filters on a Cat/JCB, we all thought it would break when out on site but never did, good choice.
Thanks pal. Just the low trees to watch out for.

Just put the light mounts on today and insulated under the floor. And made the bed bracket.

4x4 works should direct people to your video for the fitting of it. great video with little tips in it to make fitting it easier or less daunting
That’s a good shout. I’d appreciate it if you passed the feedback on to them.

I will remember that. Thank you.
Proving once again, that you just need to brush past issues aside and look to the future.
Thank you.
Always scary cutting holes well played, any daf videos coming soon?
Have you named the van yet . Progress coming on will be good to see when all is done. Catch you on next one.
Cool vid. I like the idea of the optional snorkel inlet. I don't think that I've seen any of those here in the States.
They are about but US prices are 5 times more to suite your incomes. Scary how much things are if we need them.
Haha I thought I recognised that workshop me old mate Rob n Steve Trimesh engineering mad as a box of frogs pair of them
As always Rich thank you for the vid mate. Any chance that you upgrade the headlights or fit a CB/2 way radio in a future vid mate?
To be honest is a snorkel really necessary for the amount of water wading you do?
I’ve personally always thumbed it in dry…. Could be where I’ve been going wrong 🤔
How water tight is the air box? Does that need attention too?
It’s alright. Good seals and it’s the highest point in the engine bay
👍🏼🛠🚐🤿
No airbag in that pillar?
Is a 10 year old van. It has 1 airbag
