WHAT THE HECK Happened To My Calm VAN LIFE? Problems And Smashing Stuff.

That's on the outside though Good to go That might have been on the inside I Feel for my dog. Sometimes you got to get out. He squats to pee Why would you put everything in the in the snow? I don't get it. He has been a squatter for for probably the last couple of years Anyway guys, good morning. We are back here on the island and damn what a beautiful day it is out here today Come on, buddy. Let's go get coffee Parking here. It's a bit of a doozy. There's a little bit of a hill here Slide down in the ditch this morning All right. Oh These roads are I see this morning Good morning, sir Good morning, sir. Cruzy. How are you this morning pal? How are you this morning Maria Cruzy? Cruzy, what are you doing? What are you doing? Morning, you're so cute in the morning, buddy It's slippery Morning, I mean Mascara would help Girls see guys. We just wake up. We know we look like garbage. We just wake up. We don't care Maybe I put a little mascara on maybe All right Hey People should be able to see that we got some deliveries coming in today. And as you can tell There's no more snow at the shop and it's a decent temperature out today. Welcome to a West Coast winter. Ah Knock loud or just come in Hello Are you the boss of the shop? Hey, is that you are you the boss? I've been wanting to release new merchandise for the longest time and I know you guys keep seeing me wear shirts like this one here with the new van life because normal Life sucks one and you're all like if you're wearing them chrome, where's mine? So I've actually been printing my shirts locally because it gives me a chance to get them on me right now But for the last stack of years on my channel, I've been using one merchandise company And they really Disappointed me and I've pulled everything off of my store there all of it. I ordered this is a sample This is brand new Look at the color on that and compare it to how bright white mine is This I've had for months. This has probably been washed. I don't know ten times This has never been washed this is brand new right off the printer look at the color difference I am so So disappointed and what makes this worse? These new designs were supposed to have a sleeve print down the sides. So not only did the merch company mess up Look at the good cities like the colors bleed onto here. Like they're not It's not even a hard line like on mine these lines are solid These kind of bleed bleed into the fabric. Look right there. I am really really disappointed and So this was supposed to have print like writing down the sleeve All my new merch has sleeve prints and they shipped me a sample of my new sleeve print With no sleeves on it and a crappy print Dealing with this merchandise stuff. I'm dealing with teespring right now and Anyway on some brighter notes you guys remember these cool little Wireless microphones that I bought that clip on here. You can get really good audio that I used in two videos before I broke the connector clip from the Device that clicks onto my phone. So there's a little plug Kind of looks like kind of looks like that one but with the Lightning connector so I can connect it to my phone. Well, I broke it the second time I used it and DJI didn't sell those on their website So I just dealt with everything with their with their customer support. Thank you for being awesome DJI they are sending me out 10 of those little connections So now I can drop that thing 10 times fingers crossed. I never drop it again But yeah, it's up man. I bought this and it's been what a couple of months now I haven't been able to use it. So DJI because these are fairly new for them I didn't have this as a replacement part that you could buy and now I guess you can buy them not from their website But you can buy them through their customer support. So thank you new ones are coming and to teespring It's time for cruises to get some treats Just thawing him out some chicken necks you love these things don't you buddy? That little bugger down there. He is spoiled rotten, aren't you bro? Nothing, but the best for you He's like you didn't no more chicken necks. I got no more do this paper towel. You just have to wipe your face Hey wipe your face And get all the chicken parts off the floor grody, bro Grody buddy. Well Let's clean some of this stuff up I was originally gonna throw this bumper piece out I should have we need a bumper We need a bumper For the front of this thing. I got the light set up in there. There's so many things on my brain today Let's go online and take a look at a bump So the hard thing I have right now when it comes to buying a bumper for the ambulance is the rear bumper Is custom I will have to take that to somebody who can physically to see the ambulance Face to face to make the rear bumper because the back of the ambulance is obviously wider and not a traditional vehicle so a front bumper is something that I can't purchase online and Or I find somebody to make both of them. I'm really unsure. Anyway, let's go into well tech design site and see what they've got So well tech designs is the company that I got my lift kit from in my van Amazing lift kits for the Ford Econolines and the Chevys Let me tell you man that six-inch Baja grocery getter kit is on another level. That thing is an absolute beast Okay shop Ford e-series bumpers So Ford e-series pre-runner bumper It's the Baja rear bumper rear bumper So there's the bumper options so there is The Ford e-series tube winch bumper. I don't mind the look of that and then there's this one here These are big decisions, you know No one's got a huge plate there on the front of it. I don't mind the look of that Yeah, I don't like the big the big push thing like that all that but that I do not like Yeah, I don't mind the look with the with the little push bars and stuff on there, but I do know one thing Lauren the mechanic is sitting there right now going don't do the push bars, bro He was telling me as a mechanic those bars Make it super hard to get in there to do anything that those bars just get in the way on the mechanical side That it's best to have it without them So I'm not sure it's I mean the good thing about the well tech ones is I could go order that Well tech bumper now and then we could get it on the front of that ambulance and I'd have a bumper to drive around in And we'd be one step closer on the bumper front And then when I find somebody locally out here to custom make me the back bumper They can use the front one as a design point So it all kind of matches in the rear side or I find someone local to make them both Sorry guys today's videos kind of just scattered up all over the place That merch stuff rattled my brain Good beer drinking time yet Okay, one more treat for my little bro. It's a actually it's a real herring fish. Look at this thing She's a freak. It's a fish whole fish. Oh Yeah up on the coach That's about as far as I can go to watch that loves that stuff Oh and mr. John a j5 custom vans I still have your 12-volt fan That you let me use when I first slept in this ambulance for a couple days right after I bought it You can come for a visit if you want or next time. I'm down your way boss. I'll Bring you back your fan. Oh being in here is a little overwhelming Okay, so these are water lines that used to run from the vehicles Cooling system running all the way to the back here So I used to I guess run some kind of a heating source back here But all of this stuff has already been disconnected. So we're gonna pull it out and just at least hang it out the door for now Start cleaning up back here Doing this stuff is really satisfying Feels really good to be making some progress on this ambulance my friends Really really good Let's take this step out of here And this one's rusted right out Knock the head off this thing without wrecking the wreck in the step damage these things when they take them out because This stuff has been down here for probably a million kilometers of this ambulances life Yeah On the good side though behind this whole thing here behind this step We have lots of room where these big chunky things were to run all the electrical to the back wiring, which is epic Now we got to find out where these ones go Okay These wires come up And they go down Right through the side there All right. So I'm just gonna go up there and make sure we get the right ones, but they're hardwired So we should just be able to cut the hose up there What's this one for That's a hose. That's a hose Let's say there's four hoses going in there Okay, so here's the other two So all this stuff can come out I'm guessing this came to some kind of a tank system that might have been here that needed to be heated So we can rip all this stuff out. I also debated on ripping this thing out I'm unsure See if I rip this out then both of these sides should be identical But I kind of like the I kind of like the look idea of like the entrance like this Maybe I could remake something like this out of fiberglass later Like build another wall here fiberglass a curvy. Sorry guys. I'm just thinking thinking out loud right now This wouldn't be much to take out. Yeah, this is just bracketed to here Now like the idea how this just opens up because there used to be a piece here and another piece there Like this used to curve in just like that piece so you said this on either side and on that side of the door to at this big curvy thing had lots of like shelving and tanks and things Yeah, I think we're gonna do that. I Mean, it's messed up anyway Seriously everything's glued like tons of it's glue like this is Glued in there and when we took the screws out of some of these things we couldn't get this bracket off We're smashing these brackets with hammers trying to get in there with a chisel. Some of these glues are absolutely ridiculously good So, uh, I think we're gonna need a hammer for this one tools needed for most ambulance demolition hammer softer hammer we got some pry bars and and a chisel and Yeah, it's called glue breaking devices Well that opens it up a lot a couple of bends and it'll be broken apart this thing's Does this ever open up a ton more space underneath there because all this is coming out these wires don't need to be here Those can come out these actually jump from the other side of the van this way they don't need to be here because I used to run a bunch of blocks a bunch of Distribution power here that used to go to everything in the ambulance. So this is coming out. These are coming out These are coming out leaving all this wide open. Come on come in here There's another cubby there to stuff more stuff all because it took out that little bracket Awesome boy, am I glad I ever did that Demolition is fun, man So if you guys are into like breaking things by an ambulance Can you imagine what this was like when this thing was full of ambulance stuff like gutting? I mean a lot of people would say that's not fun. But if you're into demolition Cutting one of these from an ambulance to a very empty shell would be a blast sledgehammers chisels Cutting wheels That's gonna take a lot of cleanup. I ended up just cutting the ends of the hoses off because Getting into some of these back clamps would have been really really hard. So I just chopped them off I'll come back later and we'll just take all these things off and cap the ends of all these These don't really go anywhere anymore They used to but they've been capped off at the front by the engine And then we're gonna have to clear up all this stuff all these holes in here we're gonna have to clean out all this stuff and then reseal it all Well, maybe we should see if we need to run any wires through the first but I doubt it Yeah, all this stuff's gonna need to be sealed off I'll probably do that from the inside though. All right. I got a majority of the wires out. There we go. There's the last one That's it Look at all that extra space I'm gonna have to clean up all that stuff And unscrew that bracket from the floor. I Feel good about that today Hey a little bit of demolition opening up a bit of space the main reason why I did this here today is because I Am putting a stereo system inside of this ambulance and I've definitely had it on my mind a lot lately and I ended up buying myself some speakers and stuff for the doors because I would love to get the door panels and stuff put back In so I ended up ordering the speakers and stuff. I needed for up front So all my front staging and stuff is done, but I've had putting subwoofers in here on my mind and I'm thinking I'm going to utilize the bottom of that side and the bottom of that side to contain a little subwoofer there And another one there. Yeah so now I'm really happy that I opened it up because now both sides look the same before I was unsure what I was gonna Do for subwoofers because this side had that wall I'm super stoked on that. I'm done I've had enough today. Oh my gosh. Okay. Let's check my emails and see if See if teespring messaged me and also lined up a printer for printing my shirts today So I lined up a printer so I got some samples on order they should be in very soon still no reply from teespring It really sucks because I just finished making a big sample order after I designed all my merch on their store I ordered piles of samples and Then I messed them back and said you can cancel those samples because I got that one and Mike guys cancel the rest anyway thanks for watching you guys and Please support the channel I can't believe I do this for a living Sit here and make videos about building vehicles and traveling and adventuring and I have all of you to thank for that So, please guys come on over and join us on patreon We'll try to update them every day or every other day or so and it'd be great to have you guys over there You know building that family over.
