You deserve it ol buddy!! I appreciate your hard working nature and clean language and family content!! Proud for your new shop and keep the videos coming!!
Thank you
If only I lived closer than down here in Alabama, I’d love to work along side of you sir and learn from you!
If only there was a way to remove and install the shocks on the opposite side to not interfere with prybar handles! Lol I have the same cart in blue - harbor freight quality has come long way
Colt, I'll bet you could fab those inserts for pry bars in the new tool cabinet.
Are you going to outline the tools you hang on the pegboard like the Super DIY guys do? LOL
Colt, hasn't anyone ever told you that the top of a step ladder is not a step or a seat? It's only a hinge for the 4 legs and it probably says "NOT A STEP" on the front of it. It hurts when you fall and land on concrete.
I once fell off of a 40 foot stepladder. Luckily I was only on the 1st rung or I might have been seriously injured!
Haha I was just gonna ask if you were gonna label them!
particle board, the worst to use... French cleat system is better than peg board system. learned from experience.
Congratulations Colt!!! Much deserved success for your channel and your life!! We're all super happy for you brother!!!
Thanks so much!!
I know this has nothing to do with this video, but you and Rory are going to win the Onxs off-road challenge👍🏻👍🏻
I hope so
@@coltbuildsit your rig is going to be awesome! Not discounting any of the rest but team builds it is my #1
Move the door shocks to the other side and you won't have the problem. I love the channel came from bleeping and was at bleeping cause of colt. Best content around
Colt, for your roller cart you can switch the gas struts! For the lid to the inside of their mounting points. And congrats on the new shop build, it’s look great! I’m new to your channel and I’m glad you started your own channel.
Congrats on the shop and toolboxs, can't wait for you to get that lift.....come on Challenger...step up!
It would be really cool if Challenger would pony up a lift like they do for all the other youtubers.
A big shout out to Harbor Freight for kitting you up with their boxes. They are awesome toolboxes and serve us well both at home and at our shop. The only problem is they fill up fast no matter how many we have.
You can just switch the the two shocks to the other sides and they will be on the opposite side of
i was JUST going to post this...
swap the shocks to the inside...yes they "might" get in the way of tools on the inside, but it would be able to close without anything on the edges getting in the way :)
That Harbor Freight tool box looks like it's in you favorite color. I think it's great that Harbor Freight did that for you. It all looks great.
Some of my favorite memories are in the shop with my son. Wish I would have had a RUclips channel to document those times. Love the content Colt, keep up the awesome work
It’s nice to see @harborfreight taking care of you. You work hard on the RUclips game, and it should come with companies stepping in to help out (yes, and promote their brand)
Okay, I'm jealous of the grill collection
Congratulations, on getting hooked up, and setting up your new shop, thanks for the great videos, keep em coming !!!
Well Colt I am glad you are getting a bigger shop and I can’t wait to see what you build in it. The harbourfreight toolbox’s look rad. I hope you continue to do your work the Colt way, explaining and showing great ways to build,save and create cool vehicles. Good luck!❤
HBF needs to send you the 6 drawer roller for the diff cart..
ALL Green baby....
that grille is a G60 Nissan/ Datsun Patrol first car to cross the Simpson Desert in Australia 62 years ago
21:28 OUCH!! I've been both, Ian and Colt in this situation, and also completely solo. I must say, solo with ropes and pully's was *much easier* and way less painful.. sorry Ian! 👍😎✊
The 5 slot on top there has 6 slots lol. Next time you cut foam use a sheet rock saw, cuts like butter. I’m curious about the black. Cause it soaks 80-98% light up and right away it’s super dark on video. And collects more heat opposed to white which reflects. Just curious if your adding something bright ontop of the black? It immediately dims when you are within 10-15 feet of it. Thanks. Have a good day bro.
I still have my old craftsmen tool boxes that I bought in the 60s. All my tools were also craftsmen, I still have them. When I need another tool now, Harbor freight is my goto store. At 73 I don't do much wrenching and fabrication anymore, but I have the tools if needed. Tools are something you don't part with.
Lol one socket to rule them all. I have the same cart and I love it. Shop looks great. You're giving me ideas for when I find my new state. Be safe a Colt.
Love that shop, it's going to look great!
I'm calling Ian out.
There's no way he's 6'6".
Those tool boxes fully assembled are 5'10" according to the harbour freight tool box builder on the website.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
CoLT Look up the hf 10 drawer mod the hf cart is sick i love my snap on too but man the 10 drawer mod is ridiculously smart
Harbor Freight definitely made a huge improvement in their product lines by getting products that are more than cheap imported junk.
Whoever made that decision deserves a huge thanks.
Their marketing team that is working with all the popular content creators definitely hit a home run for sales.
Flip your struts to the other side and screwdriver handles won't be an issue.
Label maker and some time. Then enforce the rules in the shop! Practice what you preach...not what you do. My tools are in 3 vehicles and 2 shops haha. Good luck and good video!!!
You’ll be saaaaarry ! Because of the lighting of a black room….COST !
Switch the shock/struts to the inside part of the brackets. Then they will clear. I bet that's how it is supposed to be anyways
You can fix you shock issue on the roller cart by moving them to the other side of the bracket.
Congratulations on the channel Colt. Sounds like y'all earned stuff the old-fashioned hard way... blood, sweat and tears!
I'm praying that there's not an OSHA Agent watching the video... not wise standing on the top rung of a step ladder. "Hey Harbor Freight, Colt needs a taller step ladder"! LOL!
Y'all stay safe. Giddy up.
Very true however, OSHA applies to bussiness with 10 or more employees
I love those green US general cabinets. Eventually, I'll buy some. Congrats on the freebies. Keep the great vids coming. 👍
So lookn at the lift pistons on the new one....just mount then on the inside of the mounts n u can use that space you were sayn you gota watch out for....ok carry on...best channel on here brother ❤️🇺🇲
Hey Colt, you can’t you just move the struts to the inside of the mount?
Do you remember the fork lift you bought on market place.
Great job colt looking great it seems that you all are building something together,shops trucks trail finds all of you are almost alike😂😂😂
This shop looks awesome! I have a question though, why the black wall in the rear? I noticed Bleep'in Jeep did the same at his place, I don't get it, from a guy who has a lifetime of cataracts built up over the years, I'd want those walls white as a ghost! Also saves a little when you install your lighting, we get to really see what your doing. This made more sense when you built the rear loft, (and at least your ceiling is white) I'm not hate'n, just curious.. I'm not paying rent or anything, lol
Brighter walls reflect and are usually harder to film with. They also can wash out the item you are trying to focus on.
Move the shocks to the other side of the bracket and it will give you room for the screwdriver handles
Nice looking shop! Awesome for Harbor Freight to step up with the tool boxes. I am hoping maybe Challenger will reach out on a lift. You go to a nice more deserving guy. Thanks for sharing
Thank you, I hope so too!
Pretty cool, but you need a Toyota FJ 40 grill.
So happy for you Colt! That was awesome of Harbor Freight to hook you up.
Colt, you produced awesomeness out of the little "Dakota Garage" and now I can't imagine what we'll see out of this new family built shop. Carry on.
Can’t think of a more deserving RUclips person. Congrats Colt and 👍👍 to Harbor Freight Tools.
Wow, thanks!
Flip your struts to the other side, and move the shelf up. Those directions are suggestions on placement. Those strut braces don't care which side and a hole is a hole for the shelf. And swivel wheels aren't that expensive.
Very cool, those tool boxes really make the space yours. On the rolling box you can flip the gas struts to the other side of their mounts which might help with the usability of the side screwdriver slots. Although they might then interfere with stuff in the middle section...
Ian has his dads same eyes and his moms good looks. Great job, men. The shop looks awesome!
From an experienced journeyman point of view, you are put a sacrificial sheet over top that mean 18 foot counter that would eventually get torn up so if you have like a quarter inch MDF or maybe put sheet metal down and a quarter you can weld on top of it then and you can just sand it down and grind it down
couldn't you just bolt the shocks to the opposite side of the brackets? That way they won't sit inside the tool holder.
You can put the shocks on the inside
I flipped my shocks to the other side of the flange so it doesn't interfere with the handles
I didn’t want to duplicate the same message, great minds think alike. 😂
It always warms the cockles of my heart to see people footing a ladder when someone's working at height.
Right On Colt,those tool boxes are RAD MAN. Good job Habor Freight WOW 👌 👏 Colt your shop is really comin together and I have to say it's gonna be AWESOME. Thanks for the video bro and great job Ian for helping dad with his shop 👍
I love my US General tool cart. I got lucky and picked up a pretty much brand new blue one from a friend for 100 bucks. I don't even use my big tool box anymore.
Big fan on the US General boxes! 😎
Ha that grill you have that is not a Jeep or Toyota?? Im pretty sure its a Datsun / Nissan Patrol.. 1960 - 1980.. Had a 1300cc engine.. Shared a compatible engine with the B20.. Last one I seen went through the crusher 😢😢 I wished I could have saved it..
Just thought..... couldn't you put the shocks on going inside? the other side of the brackets? I do like HB stuff.... they are getting way nicer tools and stuff.. Gonna be a GREAT shop.... Awesome!
Super cool to hear your journey and seeing dreams come true!!!!
Nice shop space...coming along..way bigger then the last "Garage" Shop..hope your their for a good Spell..and it all works out for ya..get a lift and other nice Toys..them Box's are Crazy 🤪 Rad score from H.F...going to heed a heater hanging in their..shit then you could live in it if you get in trouble with the Wifey..lol 😂..
Thanks Colt..allway good to watch ya..
Well deserved Colt! 🇨🇦
love the channel but am un-subbing today because MEMBERS ONLY VIDEO popped up in my feed. Living on a fixed income I fuc k'n hate seeing BS like this come across my screen.
What did I miss a video about the new shop? OK this is it -- Congratulations Colt, very happy for your success and continued growth.
Been loving your content since the first time I saw you on a BleepingJeep video with your Sami.
Hell ya bro. Congrats on getting noticed by HF. I’m not a wrencher but I have tools. Ives moved a few times and I’m generally not nice to my 2nd hand early generation US G tool boxes. They still work flawlessly. I just wish they were bigger so I could lay out the sockets and wrenches and junk - mostly Pittsburgh stuff
When I do use it I drop it, over tighten. Drop it more and it still works perfectly
Kick ass! My boyfriend says that he LOVES it and I love the organization and color matching! We love Harbor Freight around here too! Have you checked out their multi-tool? It's a dupe of the Leatherman Wave and it's awesome!
I've still got a very similar toolbox to your first two craftsman boxes stacked up. They're almost as old as I am (~40) and are still ticking. Think mine has the ball-bearing slides though. Congrats on getting absolutely hooked up by Harbor Freight on those boxes, they're absolutely gorgeous.
Some people love and want more boost! But putting boost on that motor, is like putting a D9 Caterpillar bulldozer motor on a 18" deck lawn mower and mowing a condo front yard(20' x20' or less) too much open air in a closed system!
I wish u s general Harbor freight. send me a freaking big tool box I just bought one of the big roll off carts and I got 1 of their small roll of carch and I have the brand new 1 drawer roll off cart, which I'm actually using it for my barbecue on top of it. But I'm like you.I have my first toolbox all way up to my newest toolbox.I still haven't Got a tool box wall yet. But I'm enjoying this how to organize my toolboxes. I just moved into my place back in November.And I still haven't organized all my tools
I love that color green, I traveled 106 mi each way to get my 2018 monitor jlu. But seriously, why did you drill into that gorgeous tool box. Use rare earth magnets instead. 😢 Keep up the awesome work love the things you do. Please stop drilling holes in your tool boxes.
@coltbuildsit I used to have a G60 Patrol here in Australia. Had a 350 small block Chev and a 5 speed Marks gearbox. Never needed to change the H233 rear diff as they are built like a tank. Im looking for one again to restore to re live my child hood again
I bought one of the Harbor Freight mechanics carts today based on your review! 20% off with insiders club membership for July 4th :-)
Cool beans Colt and fam!! Nice to see the beneficent Universe colluding with your effort and heart’s desire. Enjoy the flow.
Red or green? ..or Christmas?

GREAT video Colt, and it was REALLY cool to see your kiddos in there getting it done with you, that is a definite bonus right 👍
OH you should find a really old school fridge like from the 50s or 60s. One of the really killer hot rod style fridges 🤘🤩
Harbor Freight is a great place to buy stuff. I order all kinds of stuff from them. Ive only taken a couple of things back in 20 plus years. Thats great they set you up with tool boxes. Now you should have a drawing for your old boxes!
Hey Colt, I saw you were interest in a Nissan Patrol in that grille section of the video. I saw one on FB Marketplace in Phoenix, AZ. Its a '66. There is also one in Flagstaff, AZ
Colt, I am an old mechanic that owns a lot of snap on tools and boxes. I began in the 70”s before I ever heard of Harbor Freight. I had been a mechanic for 6 years before the Matco guy ever showed up at the shop. 47 years and my snap on tools are still hittin it hard. The green is cool color. Snap on red was the only choice 47 years ago when I started in a GM Dealer. Before all that it was craftsman at the V W store. The battery tools are really cool too. Keep on doing what you love to do.
Just a thought....could you flip the lifting shocks to other side/inside of the bracket as on the snap-on box? Your shop is looking good. Thanks for all the fun videos. Enjoy your new shop !!
I still have my top Craftsman tool box I bought when I started building machinery back in 1977. I remember it was discounted quite a bit because it had been dropped and had a dent in the corner. Still locked up just fine. I then built a bottom cabinet with double doors that was lockable and I now use that to hold my Combo welder on. Pretty cool to see you build out your shop. My dad used pegboard on every wall in his garage and it was perfect for hanging all kinds of stuff.
I think you can swap the side that the upper lid cylinders are connected to to move them to the other side (17:11)- which will free up the space where you put screw drivers along the sides of the top. The Craftsman toolbox you said was your first is what I have... it's OK for a toolbox, but the US box you first showed looks way nicer!
The guys from dirt everyday should know where that vehicle is, they got sources. Dirthead Dave's buddy, thats the guy. Ask him and he will probably know.
Hello Colt, I hope all is well with you and this message finds you happy and healthy. Thank you so much for responding to my Instagram message. I appreciate it very happy you have a building. I look forward to watching many many more of your videos and wish you and every endeavor you enter much success. Have a blessed and awesome day.
I try to leave a gap or put a treated strip (normally a 5/4X6" , ripped in half, leaves a nice rounded edge) under wall sheeting. Helps stop the rot, if you wash the floors... But nice start to the shop, definitely looking forward to all your efforts! Thanx !
I was greenhorn MWD cuttin my teeth on my first rig up in ND when you edited your first video. Did you ever imagine you’d end up here, full time on RUclips??? As for the struts on the toolbox. Couldn’t you flip them to the inside and have the same room as the snap on box?
I'd love to see a couple generations of Scout grills on your wall! RUclipsr @406garage probably has a few hanging around his shop worthy of your wall!
Pro TIp: When you stack toolboxes, lock the caster brakes on the lower box to keep it from moving. If the casters don't have brakes, wrap some rope around 'em to keep the box from rolling away.
What about flipping shock over so its not hitting anything. I'd be so stoked on all those tool boxes. I just ordered a 56" 23 drawer from Home Depot kinda like the one you have there. Lol. I have my first tool box as well lol. Anyone who does any type of work on cars professional or home we end up with lots of tools. Lol hahaha loving the new shop.
Colt, this isn't my listing I just ran across it on Craigslist. There is a 1966 Patrol being sold about 50 miles outside of Flagstaff Az.
I had a grill for a 1971 DJ5B hanging on my wall in my old house. Until some @€£?!!! stole it. It would fit nicely on your wall.
Colt you can off set the shocks to the inside I saw a guy on RUclips who actually makes & sells the kits! Basically it consists of 4 spacers and longer bolts and nuts! I did my own box except I 3D printed my spacers! When you get your lift before you install it take the parts to a powder coating place and match it to the green tool boxes! Use the guy in Salt Lake City that Robby Layton uses! As to the insets use a hole saw and redrill the holes so you can use your insets!
Get a taller A frame ladder! I've seen way to many people fall off the 2 upper non steps. Was guilty of same in my younger days but it can be difficult to work with a broken leg, arm or neck. Safety is no accident my friends.
Congrats on the new shop, the strap removal was a trick I learned so many years ago, breaking open newspaper bundles. I do have a question of your rationale for the black wall, or I missed it, volume is down to appease the mrs. Good luck on the Pacer build.
Thanks I'm here just because Colt is❤😂🎉 great Channel 💯🙏💯💖 God Blessing from Iowa, USA
for someone who is 6'6 hes a scronny boy lmfaoooooo watching him try and lift the top box on was hilarious
HITTT THE GYM IAN
I use a 20 volt SDX hammer drill on the hammer setting with various bits I’ve modified in place of my air hammer, so far it’s done everything I’ve asked of it .
currently owning multiple of snap on, craftsman, harbor freight, huskys normal line and their heavy duty line in my personal shop. and then again at work since they pay for whatever i want, I would say that the best deal out there right now is the husky heavy duty by far. significantly heavier duty than their cheaper normal line, harbor freight, and craftsman. about the same drawer roller wise as my snap on, but way way cheaper and if you keep an eye out can snag one in store with a small dent for half the price. Home depot will also deliver it for free, and it all comes pre assembled and ready to go. always running sales too. Huskys "professional" line though is way over priced, matching snap on, which i dont understand and isnt worth the price.
Don't let it burn down. My shop and home did. Lost all my tools and equipment. And with inflation, I was under insured, protect your stuff.
