Repurposing This RARE Vehicle Into An Expedition Camper

Published 2024-08-09
Well... We have reached the point of no return! We make the final fixes to the roof this week and it goes off to the powder coaters. We also take on the second upcycling project of this build and turn the old roof boxes into belly lockers for the rear of the vehicle. Join us to see how they turn out and for some laughs along the way.

  • The number of us who are poised on a Saturday to watch the vid drop is testament to your hard ( and entertaining) work. Love it the Pinz is looking totally awesome
  • @DronePilot23
    If I hadn't watched you fabricate the belly boxes, I would have thought you had bought them off the shelf. They look amazing!
  • @WagnerGimenes
    You guys are becoming the Internet's most entertaining couple. Come on YouTube! Where's their other 1.2 million subs???
  • I don't know why I'm amazed at how well you can turn your hand to everything you are doing, you always make it look easy and your workshop always looks so neat and tidy.
  • @bennyhill4228
    I Know i jest alot but i have to say you guys are natures best teachers , you guys put in a lot of effort and time, and deserve the love back you both pump out 😘🥰
  • @angiedavies5530
    25 minutes of you guys just isn’t enough 😊 great episode. You guys are a great team. I love how simplistic you make each job look. Have a great week ❤️
  • @gerryriley915
    Those boxes are ace. Love how you're repurposing so much of the old girl. My only winge is that the episodes are never long enough. Love you guys ❤
  • @sherylryan7038
    Still the best on YouTube the weekend starts with you guys makes hubby and me feel so good about the world ❤
  • @TheChiefSmeg69
    The old water filler point will look epic where you placed it - little details like this that make all the difference. Spot On!
  • @user-ux5vt5wo7h
    Another cracking weeks progress you've both made. Fantastic solution and location for the historic water inlet connection to show off pride and place. Can't wait to see the powder coated roof come back and fitted. Enjoy your weekend
  • I am in awe of you two. Seriously impressed with your skills. The fabrication of those belly boxes just blew me away. Guys, you're rocking it. Can't wait to see the finished article 🤩
  • I definitely second the Viofo cameras. Been using them for a couple of years and they have never let me down.
  • @nickb2179
    how has this channel only got 81k subs - deserves way north of that!
  • @alansands74
    Wow wow wow, guys your skills are another level, those belly boxes were amazing. My Saturday morning routine consists of donning the fireman outfit, kissing the guns, and settling down to watch your builds. Only 6 days 18 hours to wait for the next vid. You are both amazing. ❤❤❤
  • @MarkEvans22
    Cracking bit of Fab work guys you should be proud of yourselves 👏👏👏
  • @williamfence566
    The entertainment and production quality is always top notch . A bigger shout out is for the design and engineering / fabrication skills shown every episode. As ever I'm looking forward to the next one. 😁
  • @griffog2001
    The level of expertise and fab skills you two have is off the chart.
  • @user-bn3op6vo4z
    Those belly boxes are the best things I’ve seen on YouTube.
  • @Steve-rv1ql
    You two are absolutely awesome, a real testament to team work and ingenuity. Your videos are a total joy to watch!
  • @petemolloy885
    The alarm goes off and its Saturday morning, No time to stay in bed yawning... Down the stairs and the tele goes on, its time for another great video from Jess and Jon. Look over there, its Jess with her awesome guns and then there's Jon with his witty puns. Today Big Red is getting a spanking new ally top, all made with a lovely bit of kit in the workshop! A bit of cutting, a weld here and there and a swanky storage box appears from nowhere. A length of rubber soon forms a seal and another storage box is fixed over the rear wheel. The fire truck is no more, its now a camper 'to be sure'. But there's still a lot of work for our intrepid duo to complete, which is fantastic because it means another video is coming next week.
