I spend my whole day in a work truck full of tools and here I am at night watching a guy go through his work truck full of tools. What a life
Yeah I'm a tow truck driver and sometimes watch videos of other guys doing tows and recoveries, and watch videos of accident scenes. Then I also wonder wtf I'm doing watching people do my job on my off time
Marine mechanic electrician , Full ram cargo van , and I have to dolly it all down the dock so it's all in tool bags . Built a nice shop at home and then had to buy two of everything so that I am not unloading and reloading the van for every job in the shop,
@@juliogonzo2718 lmao
Me too brother
Thing about a work van is every time something falls off a shelf you know exactly what it is by the sound. Now you'll just hear the thump and it'll be a surprise every time you open the door. 🤘🇺🇲
I worked out of a pickup for 40 years. You will never miss the sounds and smells that come out of the back of a van.
Or a cummins rattlin to life first thing In the mmorning
Or sounds and smells that come from the rear
@@BrownEyePinch and sweaty balls l
I've been working out of a pickup for a few years and have been considering getting a van instead.
The table vice mount right there is perfect
“Keep the pictures there to remind me not to quit.” Facts. I got 4 lockers at work, every one has a few pictures of my kids at various points in there lives. Really does keep one humble.
The jelly fish launcher on my work truck definitely is a added bonus I don’t know that I would do without it it’s gotten me out of sticky situations
It really changed my life getting kind of expensive to load though.
@@alpham777 yea depending on the brand of jellyfish or the specialist that inspects and install them it can be quite pricey have u tried loading them yourself ? It’s still a little expensive but not as bad 👍
things pretty sweet for a work truck, love that its all modern and then the crank windows show up lol
I’m ashamed to say it took me a few seconds to figure out it was a roll down. I was looking for a button 😊
You had me at Jellyfish Launcher. More vehicles need one.
Me too haha
Congrats on the new truck, you’ll have to update us and see what pros and cons are over the van!
Not getting stuck as often!
I had a transit then transitioned to a 3500 Chevy with a service bed. The number 1 difference is you can’t pee in a coffee cup in the back of a truck.
Sure you can pee in a cup in the back of a truck lol
Speaking from some one that used to work out of vans to the new style truck there are no cons vans will now forever suck
That harbor freight welder is actually pretty gnarly i love that thing
I’m sure it’s good. I just want to bring something new to the table.
Welding is like shooting..... Holy cow, I love that!!! So true!!! Love all the videos
THE PICS OF HIS FAMILY WAS THE NICEST PART OF THE TOUR, I LIKE THAT HE USES THEM TO KEEP TRYING. AWSEOME
The Jellyfish Launcher 🤣 Funk, stay awesome.
To me “new” is within the last three models so this is really pretty nice.
"new" is "new to me" lol
"Heres my kid, reminds me not to quit."
Big homer simpson vibes like his "Do it for her" sign with Maggie posted up all over it
As a van driving technician in the electrical field I sure miss my service truck until it rains that’s the only time I have found where a van is better! I step in out of rain in a van but in a truck I stand their and get soaked as I get parts! But nothing is more valuable ( to me) than not listening to my parts bouncing around! We all know there’s always a part you can not find that makes a noise that will drive you flipping nuts. So I installed a better sound system.
I put multiple layers of sound deadening on the bulkhead of my vans but you'll never actually get away from the noise. But man, I sure do miss the sheer space of my old van compared to a 6.5' bed with an ARE topper. Probably 1/4 the space of my old NV2500.
Your trucks are so clean and organized! I'll tip my Hat to you, Sir!
It’s only clean because I just cleaned it. But I will keep it organized.
Omg I love that you said jelly fish launcher, that made me soooo happy 😂
I’ve never used that “jellyfish launcher” much either. I’ve had good luck with out Hobart Handler 140 welder. Tractor Supply special.
theres something about ur van videos that make me so happy
In Denmark we have something called: Kicking tires
It's when two or more guys meet and talk and brag about their cars.
I don't know if there is a similar term in English.
Your trip around your Truck Tour is absolute nice.
We have the same thing here but I don’t know if we have a name for it.
We call someone a “tire kicker” when they waste your time trying to buy your car but doesn’t want to pay what you’re asking for it 😁
I really like the titanium easy flux 125 flux core welder from Harbor Freight. I’ve taken mine apart and I can tell you that it is very well built and it is one of the best 120 volt flux core welders on the market for the price.
I can confirm this. I’ve had mine for 3 years now and it has never let me down
i'm not even close to any of the fields you're working in and got to your channel as many because of your shorts, but i immensely enjoy your longform content just hearing you talk about stuff you're knowledgeable in
Sure have come a long way from the cute pillow hugging videos 😂
no one comes here for eye candy, trust me. Nice truck, hope it works out. Over time you will figure it out, as far as the layout goes. Gotta spend some hours working out of it before you know what will work.
Started out in Heavy Duty working on Material Handling equipment. A van is definitely more suited to the type of job sites you maybe having to go to.
I stumbled over your channel by pure chance. I must say, YOU ARE MY IDOL. I just love the low-key humor and your pragmatic view on stupidity in general. I've worked with most mechanical/electrical/plumming-stuff there is, and my friend, you are sooooo spot on!
Hugs from Sweden ❤️
Nice start. 20+ year Hyster/Yale/Nissan/CAT/ Mitsi Road Tech here. Miss the road some days, some days not so much. Retirement suits me just fine. During the winter months my van would start at 6:30am and some days wouldn't shut off till I got done for the day. 1 small suggestion is move the gas cans to an vented outside compartment for safety and survivability of a DOT inspection.
Great point. I’m actually thinking about getting a portable set.
Thank you for saying jelly fish launcher! Hahah love it!!
I would recommend a lowest cost MIG that takes 5kg reels (not flux cored). It can do everything a stick or gas torch welder can do & most things better.
I think they are all made in the same Chinese factory so brand doesn’t matter. Just buy lowest cost & assume it’s semi-disposable.
Nice setup man! 😃👍
Hahaha that is the best description of welding Ive ever heard, I’m goanna use that on my next green helper
Love these tour videos. Really like seeing how other people organise their stuff.
Make sure to insert the two bolts on the left side, especially the one under the puck. LPL specifically mentions in his video on this lock that the bolt under the puck helps to prevent attacks where the two left bolts are removed and you can open the door right open.
Yes 👍🏻 That is a weak point
Good for you, man.
Wear it in good health!
Very nice, thank you, for the tour, I did road trips for airplanes and trucks are much improved.
You passed a physical...Bloody well done !!
I was kind of surprised myself. My blood pressure was even marginally good haha
Good on you brother, nothing like a little upgrade and the feels that come with it. Let’s you know you’re appreciated. I know you’re still looking for the right places for everything, that will never end. Congrats man!
Congrats on the new truck. I look foward to your future videos with the new co-star. It has to be said, I really appreciate you being a great field tech/ tinkerer to aspire to.
I'm not a welder, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Nice layout in the truck. I can't believe that HF wants $600 for one of those US General tool boxes. It's cool that your boss lets you, pretty much, do whatever you want with the truck.
Good content. Helps me figure out organization on my work truck. Look forward to seeing how you set this up!
I love your practical approach to everything you've been doing. As a retired engineer, practicality was always my mindset, and I enjoyed your high school memory callout as well, as I had heavy machine shop high school experience with all kinds of things that can take off a limb or digits, crush, or perforate body parts (engine lathes, millers, drill presses, and welding torches). Great stuff that teaches you respect for your limitations! Enjoy your truck, man!
Just remember, the next time you go to the doctor for the old "annual exam", tell him you need him to use two fingers! That way you get the second opinion right away!
As for a small MIG welder, go for one of the smaller Lincoln MIGPAK welders. I run the MIGPAK 180 which is a 240v, but if all you are doing is sheet metal with it, maybe go for the MIGPAK 100, which is a 120V welder. Both will do flux core as well as gas. Also, maybe have a look to see of that Miller can accept a spool gun. I would stick to the name brand equipment though. You'll have more success with them, and less problems.
The new truck looks awesome, and I'm sure you'll get it arranged to your liking soon enough.
Have a great day, Sir! And God Bless! o7
Thank you👍🏻 It does have a setting for wire welding. I’ll have to look into that.
@@FunkFPV Lincoln makes a "suitcase" welder, which is basically a MIG that is powered by an ARC welder. Might be something to look at as well. I am a Mechanic (35+ years), and when I was working out of my buddy's shop (welder/fabricator), he would often get me to help him out on big jobs. He had the suitcase MIG, and it was incredible. And the spool gun was good for aluminum welding. Obviously not as good as TIG with aluminum, but did the job.
@@cmdrclassifiedyeah I think they still make a couple different model suitcases. They're basically just a wire feeder that's powered by your welding machine. BUT!!! As with anything that has a Lincoln logo slapped on it, it's way overpriced!
I've seen em used in the field to weld some pipe casing and the welders seemed happy with em. But again, the welders didn't have to pay for em...
I wonder if these new Miller bobcats allow you to connect one of the wire feeders like you'd see on the old Delta series arc welders? That would be sweet and you can find them used pretty easy and cheap
@@heatheverett I am a Mechanic, and when I used to work out of my buddy's shop (he's a welder fabricator), he had a 10kW Miller on his service truck, and the Lincoln suitcase. It was a big one, and you could push a lot of amps through it. My guess is that it should work, as the suitcase just need the supply of power from the arc welder. o7
love it man , you deserve a nice rig and I've never seen a more well equipped and organized one
Get a 5gallon bucket toilet seat, and a roll of Charmin keep it on the truck. Trust me Funk. 😂
Way ahead of you
Awesome new setup... Enjoy all your videos.
The more versatile jobs and tasks you can do, the better you will be employed.
I like to keep it versatile. I get bored, doing the same thing day in and day out. It’s nice to go on an adventure every once in a while.
Nice rig! Sorting acquired stuff from the essential stuff, that keeps my brain less stressed.
You need to buy some of those great products for welding from the videos you watched! 😆
Congrats on the new truck! Keep up the great work! Wish we had as good as a forklift mechanic in our area as you!
Cool truck, thanks for the tour!
I really like these long reviews you do. Very fun 👍
I love watching this. Not my world and thats what makes it exciting
Nice work van! My dad is an electrician and he switched from a truck to a van about 6 years ago now. I agree that you never quite get comfy in a van, my favorite work truck he had was his 1997 Ford F-150 with crank windows and an awesome heater! Love your channel and keep the videos coming sir!
I can’t wait to see the video you make when you dive into the welding stuff man 🤘🏽
Jellyfish Launcher are the Bed Lights. Depending on the bed configuration, they light up the bed at night so you can see what the blyat you're looking at.
That's MASSIVE!. Still it reminds me of the service truck I drove for a while. I was watching this thinking how do you keep you mask, small parts, etc from bouncing all over the place. Remembered I was OFF Road Heavy Equip Tech. Had that Super duty stuck up past the bottom of the doors a couple of times. I stay clean(ish) now.
I have little experience in mechanical stuff aside from DIY home repairs. I find your videos very interesting and calming. Keep up the great work 😊
Congratulations on the new rig!
Lotos welders fall into the category you described. I have a mig140 and it sticks metal together.
😂❤
Nice set up man, I'm amazed at how much stuff you carry around.
I’m amazed it all fit in a van 😁
I can't speak for forklifts specifically, I do hvacr kitchen equipment and plumbing but it's never enough. Hardly a day goes by without needing to run to a parts house or the shop
I have no idea how I've not stumbled across your content before now... but you're my kinda grumbly bastard! Interesting content, good humor, plainly know what you're talking about.
Congratulations! You made the "spared" list.
dude you are living the dream. hard work is hard work but that truck is going to make that hard work way more satisfying. thanks for the tour!!
That's a nice new work area congrats !
Being GM... good luck with it.
We've got about 50 trucks in our fleet. We'll get new Fords or GM every 4-5 years.
When new, they're basically equal. Once past 75-80k, the GMs start needing all kind anoying little repairs the Fords don't.
Hope it works for you.
This one has been in the shop 3 times and a 4th once a part comes off back order. I’m not a GM fan at all. If anyone asked me I would’ve got a F350
I'm a Ford guy at heart myself but for my newest work truck I had to go with the 1500 duramax. I don't need a 3/4 or 1-ton 95% of the time and I just couldn't argue with 30 mpg as most of my 30-35K/year is on the highway.
Nice truck. I’m no welder but I’ve got a Hobart 100 welder. Nothing to brag about but works and came in under the 200 mark
Nice setup, cool video. Thank you Funk Fpv
1:15 love the analogy that is a great way to explain it
As a plumber, I've worked both out of a van and out of a pickup truck, and unfortunately, plumbing seems to be most convenient out of a van, but the man in me really wishes I could be as productive out of a truck
Same here. I work in yacht service so that means I'm an electronics tech, plumber, rigger, electrician, mechanic, etc just depending on the day. Been working out of vans for the last few years as it's just so much more convenient. Last one was an NV2500. Lots of room inside (nearly 10' clear floor space so room for those 8' antennas or even a deflated 12' RIB if you wanted it bad enough!) but the 13 mpg was killing me as I'm paying for my own fuel. Would have loved to move to a Sprinter or Transit but still needed 8500 lbs towing on occasion and no van on the US market today can do that. Ended up moving down to a 1500 Chebby truck with the 3.0 duramax and 6.5' bed/extra-cab. Much nicer to drive than my vans and tows better as well plus it gets 30 mpg on the highway and at 30-35K/year that pays for itself even if diesel is 20-40 cents more. But man, it's NOWHERE NEAR as much space as a van!
Hahaaha the good ol clean and organized for the video organized for work. 💜
Nice to see you got an upgrade, nice that you don't have to deal with the rattling sounds of the van, also truck is bigger so now you have more room to stretch out and eat, get comfortable.
Welding: Controlled Chaos. I like the way you think sir.
Nicely configured repair truck, almost like you know what you're doing
Looking forward to what renovations you’ll make to the truck work space man.
..... Dude, nice set up.... Having been a Lone Wolf Mobile Tech myself, might I make a suggestion for some things that you would want to consider... Get a medical / first aid kit or bag.. A good one, not some cheap pos... Get an additional fire extinguisher that you have really quick easy access to on one of the outside compartments or cab of the truck.. Not a tiny one either... Lastly one of those patio furniture canopies/ umbrella to mount near the vise that’s on the rear of the truck.. You will absolutely appreciate that when it’s hot and the sun is cooking you to death as you’re sweating your ass off over the vice or making hydraulic hoses.. it’s a real nice thing to have.... A decent cooler is also a great thing to have... There ya go! 👍. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for posting hopefully your content will get these kids into the trades again👍
Sweet rig man! Congratulations.
Jelly fish launcher 🤣🤣🤣 gotta show my kids mine now lmao. Never been so excited to turn a light on before this lol
Atleast you got a Knapheide 🙌 Everything else will leak/rust/annoy you within a year or less... I'm pretty sure that's a factory guarantee for most service body manufacturers... Plus it's wrapped, but I have one with like 70% of the original paint left and it's still rust free from the factory e-coat galvanized paint or whatever magic they use... Bumpers, latches, lights, wiring, door gaskets... All the little things on Knapheide's seem just that much better than the others I've had... Especially Reading and Stahl! 😠
I'm ashamed to have a name associated with Reading BTW... Even if was related and received royalties I'd still be pissed! 😆
Just came by to say how much I enjoy your shorts. You are so sarcastic could almost be British
I’m half Irish so I’m pretty close 😜
Congratulations on the van
Nice setup 👍
The heights a gamechanger for your back and knees👍
I just gave up my 22F350 open body for a 23 Transit 350 that’s 9’ high.. The F350 was my first service truck. I got it new.. I’ve always had vans. My last truck was a KUV on a E350 cutaway chassis…
The F350 was an awesome truck and it drove great… Honestly though- aside from the 4X4- I absolutely hated working out of that thing!!! I will definitely miss the 4x4 option when the snow starts flying- but I am a van guy!! I can stand up in the back if/when I need to piss… SO MUCH MORE ROOM!! I love it!!
As far as your wheel well hump- if you look, we’ve had guys cut that right out of there and weld a piece of flat stock right over it so it’s flat.. That hump is to accommodate certain trucks.. I know a F550, you can get away with deleting it…
congrats on the cool whip !
Aww . . . Lovely van bro , love all those different compartments , well organised too . Enjoy your work .
proud of you man, nice rig
Good on you my friend!!!! Lookin good hope she does good for you!!
great work brother, keep it up
Nice to see you using a good lock. Bosnian Bill and LPL were right. Only locks I use were approved by them.
I wish you good luck you just now giving everybody the entire inventory on what to resell from your service vehicle. Mine was stolen 4 years ago. It was horrible!😢 good luck with the new truck🎉
Love the truck and set up you got going on. Very nice
Great work truck set up, broski!
Man thats a realy cool Worktruck- Congratulation! I Hope a walkaround is coming soon ;) Best Regards from Germany!
cool truck
Nice truck. 👍. Congrats brother
I just started working for toyota lift northeast and I find your video's very useful
You’ll be chillin with that A/.C in the soon to be sweltering heat 👍👍
Nice. You sir get a 10/10 thanks for playing. There you go 👍🏻. Love manual windows.
They’re really great when someone walks up to the passenger side, wanting to talk to me and I can’t reach the handle to roll it down 🤦🏻♂️
Congladurations sir! Very exiting!
I worked out of a van for the majority of my career in the Materials handling, the company (hopefully the last one) I work for now uses trucks, I drive a 2022 Silverado 3500, I can’t ever go back to a van. My truck is an open back. Your set up is great!
Wow!!! Papa got some sweet wheels now!!
Ha ha ha a whip!!
Good luck with the change. I've been working as a fork lift tech for four months now and I love it. Way better than the 16 years suffering in automotive on flatrate.
I work for a Toyota company lol
Nice 👍🏻 You picked the right brand to work on.
@@FunkFPV hell yeah. I work for a Toyota Raymond merged dealer
