Thanks John, I think it’s important to pass on knowledge and skills, I learnt a lot from my dad growing up and so did Emma! They are good skill sets to have later in life!
You should take the whole bracket to the engineering shop and refit bracket to suit the magnet door stop which is not used now remove magnet and use the original hole no drilling door Also seal between bracket and door water get in rust rust
@@UrbanVanlife but you've also achieved a great deal, keep up the good work ,and we do appreciate the work you also do to give us great content, Cheer's
looks good.audio off a bit there at the end lol been through that myself before. also, I think I would have taken it to a welder before I attached it and had them weld the bolts to the holder from the back then painted it. now you will ahve to carry something to keep the back of the bolt from spinning when you trying to take it off. plus try not to lose them when changing a tire.
i allways have sockets in the van mate , but yer i could have tacked a weld on my self , thats some good thinking ther i didnt think of , man i wish id have thought of that , may be i might do that further down the line , and the audio well lets just say i messed up lol , but i know people have watched tot he end lol
Hiya mate. Great video, like your vids, I am only up the road near Wigan.. I have a sprinter low roof, part converted as I am a plasterer so still need tools in the side door…. gonna out one of these on the back door , looked at the website this morning, they look ace. 👍 gaz.
THANK YOU for saying that it didn't come painted... I was just about to order the same thinking it came black and re read the details after your video!
Lol yer I was shocked to . But I get why not cos vans are diffrent colours . And it’s no problem getting some paint on it . It’s still a great bit of kit
Oh no it was a mess at the end but I’d allready set it free and didn’t check . But I don’t think most will get that far and it’s a conversation starter . Hey look Neil fucked up AGAIN . Hmmmm also lets me know who watched all the video
Just grabbed a roof rack off eBay for my transit conversion that also has gas tank where wheel should go and was gonna strap the spare up top... however now I’ve seen this! (Hope Wheeliams are giving you some comish mate)
Great bit of kit, and very useful video.......only trial fitted mine as haven't got round to painting it, if you'd posted this a month ago it would have made the process much easier 😂
Great video as ever, just watching through some of you older content as I'm about to start converting a van myself. You said your gas tank is in the wheel well, do you have any info on this please? I can't see it in any of your vids.
We didn’t do a video on our gas install as we used a company in Liverpool who are now actually retired, but it’s a 55 litre under slung donut tank which fits where the spark wheel would go.
Hi , the rain deflectors above the drivers window and the passenger window they push up into the window channel allows you to have your windows open slightly for fresh air, do you have a link for them cheers enjoying your attention to detail on the build 👍
arrr the ones on the front , i got them off amazon mate they where a bit of a pain to fit in i thought they where going to snap , i know some people stick them to the front but i fitted mine in to the channel of the window , these are the ones i got mate www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00J16BXKU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Looks cool mate, still debating on whether to get one of these or not 🤔 Peaking through the doors in the vid the vans coming on really well.. you'll soon be done 👊🏻 P.S. Lucky you're not a DJ.. unsynced audio 😆 i reckon you did it on purpose for comments 😉 after all its all about that algorithm 👊🏻😁 Nice one dude.
Hi Neil, big fan, just going over your back catalog :) I'm currently looking at the spare wheel carrier. After having it fitted for 2+ years, is it still solid. would you still recommend it?
@UrbanVanlife cheers Neil. Was talking to mulevans at the vanlove festival at the weekend. Priced with the uprated hinges it was pushing £1500. Quite a bit more than the wheelami. 🤔
We just used metal paint . But more importantly make sure where you bolt it trough then back door your put a big plate behind it cos it has a big pull on the door skin
Yeah angle grinders get me too, not quite as bad as Circular Saws though. I suppose I'll need something like this but the cost. Why didn't they teach us welding in school?
i must admit when i opened it i was like wtf , then realised it was my own fault for not reading the wedsite , lol some times you win soime times you dont
The stupid people out there LOL. That would be me. I need instructions. Very detailed ones haha. That tire mount looks awesome. There's a way we could mount our spare on to the back of our cargo, but yikes. It requires removing inside stuff and creating extra support and blocking and blah blah. We haven't mustered up the energy to do it. So it's still inside taking up my storage space lol. You did a really nice job. It looks great! Wow, definitely burn lol.
you could easily do that or on the front and have jessie make a tool chest as well , i think that could be his next project i mean you do all the work time for jessie to do a bit lol , sorry mate
i know mate id dicked up on me cos i put the audio back in and edited a clip . but id all ready let it go so thought what the hell its at the end and i get to see whos watched it all . lol thanks for watching budy
This video is 4 years old now but yes we paid for it in full when we bought it, it wasn’t cheap but can’t remember the exact price not sure if it was £500 could have been slightly less, but we have upgraded now
gold mate - you're a pair of professional aces.... cheers
Thanks James, we are a pair of professional idiots at times 😂😂
Another perfect job done brilliant to see a youngster getting hands on and learning for his future.rock on son humour too. 😎

Nice touch looks good and can't belive how much you have done so quickly can't wait to see them cabinets I spied haha.

Nice job and teaching your young one a skill is always a good thing. Just don't give him the keys or else he may go to the pub, ha ha ha
hahaha hes only 15 but looks 35 and we have has the odd beer in the garden to be honest , i love teaching him

Good job done with fun and as humour as always plus we got your useful health and safety tips too 🥴😂😂 ✅

Urban Explorer 🤞😂😂
I don't know if it's on my end or not but the audio got out of sync with the video. Otherwise, it was enjoyable as always!

Great bit of kit, and very useful video.......only trial fitted mine as haven't got round to painting it, if you'd posted this a month ago it would have made the process much easier 😂
Lol sorry mate ours arrived yesterday so I thought there needs to be a vid ASAP
Looks awesome, but where did you get the spare tire cover from the thumbnail? I want a similar 1
Got that from EBay 😀
The Urban Explorer may turn your van into the Starship Enterprise. You, in the least, will end up with one fine van.
Lol hopefully it can get us to infinity and beyond my friend

Wish I could find one of these for a ducato. Looks like a great bit of kit 👍🏻
Have you tried getting Intouch with the guys at wherliams or even mule van engendering on Instagram they may be able to help
@@UrbanVanlife good shout I’ll reach out. 👍🏻

Excellent series, subbed 👍👍👍ATB Dave
thanks mate much appreciated
Hi Neil, big fan, just going over your back catalog :) I'm currently looking at the spare wheel carrier. After having it fitted for 2+ years, is it still solid. would you still recommend it?
all i can say is we have bought a mule rear carrier that gets fitted on monday mate , these are ok but its steel heavy and it rusts
@UrbanVanlife cheers Neil. Was talking to mulevans at the vanlove festival at the weekend. Priced with the uprated hinges it was pushing £1500. Quite a bit more than the wheelami. 🤔
Hey bud I just order mine waiting for it to come. Did you have to use prima? What spray paint would you recommend? Great video bud
We just used metal paint . But more importantly make sure where you bolt it trough then back door your put a big plate behind it cos it has a big pull on the door skin
@@UrbanVanlife aww ok il buy something suitable thank you 🙏
Hi mate, not sure if you remember this. Any idea what size of drill bit you used for drilling the door? Cheers buddy!
Sorry mate no idea 🤷 but it was the same size as the bolt if that helps any
@@UrbanVanlife haha no worries mate, I ended up using a 9mm and it was ideal. 🙌🏼
At this pace it will be soon ready to go for a long trip :)
Yer man it’s not going to be long mate I’m going to say I’m still on track for doing it in 3 months . But probably realistically be 4 or may be 5
Yeah angle grinders get me too, not quite as bad as Circular Saws though.
I suppose I'll need something like this but the cost. Why didn't they teach us welding in school?
Weird isn’t it . Some of the things we use scare us . But I guess it makes us that little more careful and makes us more thankful when the jobs done .
Love it, what distance is it between your hinges out of interest? Looking to see if I can make it fit my Iveco 👍🏼
I think if you email them they will make them to your specifications
Can I ask have you a link for the side windows rain deflectors 👍thanks in advance
The side windows are from lake side windows . Unsure what you mean about the rain deflectors this mate
I bought one thinking exactly the same it was sprayed 😆
i must admit when i opened it i was like wtf , then realised it was my own fault for not reading the wedsite , lol some times you win soime times you dont

@@UrbanVanlife 🤣😂🤣😂
Now all you need is a Custom spare wheel cover.
Arriving any day now my friend
Can’t wait to see the Eddie wheel cover....
