Do an all day workshop livestream if you're lonely 🙏😁

Those dish washes you are putting on the lower shock I’m pretty sure the dish has to be facing outwards not in wards could be wrong you should check with the manufacturer loving the content and your build keep up the great work

A product called Kroil - The Oil that Creeps! might be handy for rusty parts

Great job. Will you give us a total cost please? Thanks.

You can use a guard instead of aboot for the shocks but in any case I'd certainly have something to protect the shock shaft on the rear of a vehicle. Cheers

This is very cool. Anyone know what the truck is called?

While the True Blue guys are funny and very polished and I enjoy watching them for the humour and the vehicle, what they say is clearly rehearsed- your talks sound more natural and I prefer that it sounds like you are chatting to a friend.

real beast once the new wheels go on ...amazing amount of work u have done .. cant wait to see the finished result .

Nice that John stayed dressed🤣

Keep the boots on or you have to clean them every time you had a drive. Race team can leave them off as the have a team to look after them ( or a good sponsor)

Yeah you should put the boots back on the shocks just think of all that dirt and rocks covering and hitting the shaft which will go into the shocks then your right back in the shop.

Keep the boots 🥾. Guess it’s too late. OK, don’t keep the boots 🥾 🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾

i once had my shock boots fill entirely with water that never drained out... it was a very unfortunate waste of money.

Damn bro you look like Luigi at the start of the video with overalls on and that porn mo...

Keep the boots on, they are there to protect that shaft from damage eg rocks and other things you run over.

In gas shock absorbers the oil is under pressure, this causes them to extend because there is less surface area in the side of the piston where the shaft is. In non gas shock absorbers there isn’t any pressure so they don’t extend by themselves, that doesn’t mean that they are faulty.

Looking forward to see which wheels you’ve picked

The scratches on the shafts caused by not using the boots on the shocks will wear out the seals in the shocks. Personally I never chose form over function. God bless you and your family

Great video guys, it’s coming along so well… loving each update. My god, when you were installing the Dobinson shocks, you looked like one of the Mario Bros in the overalls and sporting the moustache 😂 Keep up the great work!

Shock washers go cup outwards to allow for misalignment.

I have been building 4x4's for over 30 years. Everytime I have removed shocks with boots the top of the shock and shaft are shot. The boot keeps the moisture and dirt in the boot and unless you pull the boot off regularly and clean inside they hurt more than they help. Just my two cents from a guy that learnt the hard way. Plus without the boot you can clean the seal area easily.

Shock boots will reduce wear on the shafts and seals while driving on roads. Off road they trap water and mud inside and wear the shock shafts much more rapidly. With heavy forest use no shock boot will last more than a month anyway before it's shredded garbage. I don't run shock boots on my Unimogs and my shocks have lasted decades.

Don't worry about Oakley falling he will be fine. I have fallen many times and don't have any Dain Bramage yet!

In my opinion, you are doing a good job, my Internet pal; I hope you and the family are all well.

And your spring pack is attached to what’s called a trunnion.

Awesome job!! It's great that nothing stops you and you keep moving forward.

Tri axle meaning 3 and you have a bogie axle meaning 2.

TV series recommendation, Altered Carbon.

That Tgb is dope! Lovely work. ❤

😂😂😂pmsl, brilliant bit of content for a Friday 😂👍💪🚒

Rubber boot is there to protect the seals and make the shock last put it back on m8

Some rust converters and rust primers aren't waterproof.So if you don't seal them,water will get through and you will have new rust.

Надо при сборке стремянок (U образных болтов) смазывать их водоотталкивающей графитной смазкой , что бы потом не иметь проблем при демонтаже. Так же при сборке смазывать графитом или медной смазкой все резьбы на трансмиссии и шасси! .

I would recommend using a "Stratos film" on any and all windows

Its a bogie or tandems also called a twin axle normally , all trucker stuff , yep leave the boots on mate , love your work 👍

Oh darn…what an overhauling this Tgb 13 is getting 🤩

RUclips ColtBuilds has a recent video on dismounting tires from rims on the trail. You may find the info you are looking for there.

I was going to mention about Trueblue Travellers 😂 Really fun & funny guys. Glad you showed their clip from last week.

Love the reference to True Blue it’s how I found your channel so great that you reciprocated keep the banter going

🇿🇦♥️♥️💙

You need to make o trip together!

It would be nice if you could fit some UHMW (or similar) pads to those spring pads.

Sorry Chris, but that triple t was very second rate. If you want any chance of stealing Jon's mantle, you're going to have to don one of Ange's bikinis 😂😂😂 You'll have to get together with TBT once both builds are done to compare the off-road capabilities of the Volvo and the Pinz. Would be fasinating. Oh, and as many have said, put the boots back on the shocks. You'll thank everyone later. Love the content.

Leave the boots on

In Europe they salt the roads in winter and in the uk .. the salt will eat that shaft

Great job on the build, really quality footage. DEFINITELY put the rubber boots on, the seals will be damaged in no time without protection from sand and dirt.

Leave the boots on, but only put ziptie on the top. This keeps water from pooling an rusting the end of the shock. The other option is what are called ROOST GUARDS, they replace the boot with a guard that faces the front keeps stones from pitting the shock shaft. Fill the boogy completely with grease, any air bubbles will will with condensation and water so hit that zero and grease till no more air escapes. Love too see you've met the bits that are building the 6 by, so interesting to see different builds come together. You need a couple 100cm tire spoons to debead tires yourself. CHEERS Steve h.

Did you know that you can heat the leafsprings and press them to thear original chape

So close now,can’t wait for the adventure to begin

Looks like it’s gonna be a fantastic off-roader, wouldn’t fancy doing much distance in it overlanding though, what speed can you do with those portals?
