Ur awesome thank you for actually physically building the truck a lot of you youtubers out there just send their truck out to get aftermarket stuff put on and then they unveil it thank you for actually putting in the hard work and showing the steps to do it
i prefer the longer 30 minute videos where you do multiple things in one video
I would rather wait a few extra days for a longer vid then a few lil ones. I'm sure loads of people will agree with us.
Completely agree with this comment
I agree with you
yep
Agreed
RUclips is a bitch right now, let Dan make some extra 10+ min vids in peace. Quality is still 10/10 so why complain?
Dan you should get a cutting guide for the plasma cutter so you aren't dragging the tip across the surface you are cutting.
stealthybanana Cutting guide is the key to both keeping the tip nice and pretty plus it keeps your cuts at a 90 degree and won’t have any slanted cuts.
He has a drag tip which always him to drag
What about him cutting directly on top of a sheet of chipboard?
Kaleb Hansens We don’t talk about that.

i seriously love this series so much i instantly click when i get a notification.
Tylerp same
Same here
I love that you aren’t afraid of making mistakes man. Keep up the good work!
How are you uploading the videos so fast ?! I LIKE IT
Because Dan is a god
Dan, lemme just tell you. You should be totally proud of your fab skills. Your Poppy would be proud of you dude! (I hope I remembered right that that is what you call him). Keep up the good work!! I love your videos! ♥️ (even though I’m a little late getting to this one)
So hype for this truck. This is such a fun time to walk in your shoes and I’m glad I get to via RUclips
I'm a RUclips Premium subscriber. I've probably averaged 2 hours a day for the last 8 years of watching content... fck when I add that up I sound like a couch potato!
The point is, I'm enjoying this series more than just about anything I've ever watched. Dan you're a legend brother, thank you for the blood sweat and tears you poured into this project. Huge respect from Australia.
Stumbled on your channel for the custom running boards...stayed for the badass project truck! Nice!
As much as I prefer the stock bumper on this (and most) trucks I think this is going to be a really cool project for you, and if you prefer these videos over the longer ones bring it on, everyone will watch regardless.
More videos just like this please. I live watching you do this stuff
Hey Dan, I know it's off topic but I don't really care lol. Just picked up my first bike this past Saturday and wanted to let you know that you are one of the biggest reasons I decided to get it.
You have allways brought me smiles and made everything look so fun and vivid. Thank you for being such a large part of my life (been here scince like 50k subs lol)
I've allways wanted an r6 but ended up getting a 2018 Honda rebel 500 because of how badass you have made the magna. I absolutely love my bike and will be getting many more bikes as time rolls on. Hope to see you living your best life long into the future!

Love you Dan
I'm guessing that this comment will never reach the surface but I feel that it is something that could be fun for you to hear (I enjoy your videos). Watching this upload as it was brand spanking new, I watched it in bed before going to sleep, but out of respect towards my sleeping girlfriend, I watched it without sound but with subtitles. I am now a few hours later watching it again because it was lacking sound. Then it hit me; You have a really fascinating voice, and you use sound as a huge pulling factor in order to create the persona that you are. Your voice is amazing and I enjoy your videos so much thanks to this. Have a good one and keep doing what you love, because you seem to love it! Greetings from a fan from Finland!
i like the long ones more like 40 minutes
Same. Therapeutic voice.
Hey dan I want to be a metal fabricator and these dually build is really inspiring me. Keep up the amazing work
This. Is. Amazing. I really hope you will be able to keep this only going up, I can't imagine how good you will get and who knows where and what you will end up. Good luck Dan!
Dan your legit bro I absolutely love this build and hope there’s more I think is awesome you are fabricating your own side steps and bumper your a real inspiration to step out of your comfort zone and actually do the damn thing
Love it. To be honest, I kind of liked the longer videos of the beginning and end of what you’re doing. Keep it up though Dan!!
Honestly I have enjoyed this so much I go to a technical high school and take welding and watching all the things you build fills my interest in welding and automotive work keep up the good videos.
This whole time I was watching the video and didn't even realize it was Do It With Dan... dang I haven't watched your channel for a while, always been one of my favorite motovloggers for sure
Great to watch you build this. Loved it!
Really excited about this! Pretty nice you try things your way. Some others can learn from that.
Dan, for plasma cutting invest in soapstone markers. They're cheap and do a better job than sharpie
Kelley Jay I use soapstone for everything metal. Sharpie works alright but you can get a much cleaner line with the stone. Good tip for Dan
Soap stone WAS in the glove box

I just want to say I have taken on the same project and was thinking of how to a mock up...the cardboard idea was fantastic...thank you for your video... BTW GREAT JOB
Mad respect for you man and that bumper is gonna look sick!
THIS BUMPER LOOKS SOO GOOD. I would honestly pay to have you make stuff for me if I were ever in need of something.
i really cannot wait to see this truck finished
Post it all, I like seeing everything and helps me learn more about fabrication.
I’m so grateful for this build, I’ve been needing to learn how to make a custom bumper for almost a year now but can’t figure any of it out! Thankyou!
Love the direction your channels has gone and views still rolling in just goes to show most here for you as a person not just the bikes
Good shit man always appreciate another fabricator. I know this isn’t a main focus but if you need to clear your head and ride for a video we always can appreciate it.
I’ve been watching your videos Dan since when you had your BMW and sharpie CBR and I’ve gotta say I’m impressed man. It’s been great to watch you grow as a person and a channel and go out and tackle all these awesome challenges that you set yourself.
Loving the build, keep it up 👌🏼
You should continue on doing your own fabrication, you'll get to the point where you can accomplish complex curvature with ease.
Also, if you are planning to do any off-roading with this, especially in rocky areas, do make your own skid plate.
Dan, you have been killing it with this build. Love seeing you figure stuff out to make this truck more badass with every video.
Thanks for putting this together for all us out here. Also, just an idea, could you mock up just one side of the bumper and then flip the template over to make a mirror image for the other side so that everything is exactly symmetrical? Great job and instructions.
I'm not a truck guy, but I am fascinated by this series.
Thanks Dan. You're killing it!
Hands down favorite series on yt right now. Good Job Dan!
Super great video. We will happily wait for QUALITY (like this).
Good idea cutting on a ply wood. A 4x8 sheet of plywood is cheap and surprisingly will take a while to burn completely
Whenever I see you upload I am always looking forward to watching it. Especially with the truck build videos!
Yay! another do it with meh-fabrication, love these videos, its a true testament to the do it yourself for the knowledge and not just the savings ideology
Please like this comment so dan see this.
It is SUPER important that you disconnect the battery when welding on the truck. You could sent too high of a current through your ECU and fry it.
Except the frame is ground, it'd be more likely to travel back through the battery than anything else. Not to mention the bumper wasn't fastened in any way, so there's only weak surface contact, and the clamped ground from the welder would take most of the energy, because electricity travels through the path of least resistance. There's no inherit danger here, unless somehow the ground to the vehicle was stronger than the ground on the welder, which would be highly unlikely in this example.
I say you clamp your ground to the hitch before you weld on the bumper👍
@@lackingtoes121 i like this guy
I gotta admit I was cringing a little when I heard you talking about precision cuts but the lines you'd drawn were like a 1/2 inch thick but I was wrong, the results speak for themselves. Nice work sir, looking forward to seeing the bumper when it's all finished.
For me, watching the serie till this point, I learned from Dan, to not be scared of a challenge. So thank you for that Dan.
This is the Dan I miss . I'm still watch to this day because I like watching Dan do Dan
Long videos are still 👌
Love these kind of videos. Keep these coming man 👍
You've learned so many skills, I'm not even sure you realize it. I'm not usually impressed by people, but you're a smart, hardworking dude. I'm sure your parents are proud, my man.
Dude I have a plasma cutter and a welder and I’ve always though my making my own numbers was over my head. Going to start designing my own soon thanks to you! Keep up the good work!
I totally agree with fabricating your own, this is why we buy all these tools for.
I love it! Add a skid plate!!
Nothing like the sweet smell of burning plywood in the morning 😤💨
So I know you won’t see this but if you do just know, it’s a great thing that your taking the time to learn to do it and do it right I’m a fab tech and I do Hvac and I love doing this kind of stuff but its important not to loose sight of it because I struggle with depression and I offer will loose sight of the thing I love to do and it’s rough sometime but you got to alwase remember to keep your head up and push threw road block have a good day and keep it up
Been welding pipe and Fabricating for a few years now. I’m sure you already know this, but on a piece that big, especially being 11ga material, make sure you jump around while welding as to prevent it from warping too much. Bracing wherever you can will help as well. In all reality, I would stitch weld that bumper together. Something like 3” welds on 5” centers or whatever works best.
Oh, and the layout work that you did is called CAD, Cardboard Aided Design. Shit works everytime!
I’m loving the dully content, makes me want to get a salvaged vehicle and rebuild it and add my own flair to it
Yo dan. Watching you do what you like is the most interesting content you put out. Keep doing you and I’ll always be a huge fan👌🏼
You should really cover those beautiful headlight while welding near them. 😓
They've still gotta be buffed and polished either way plus looking at the grill this appears to be put of chronological order so who knows
I’m liking this series more than I should
Look forward to seeing how that bumper comes out in the end...quality work Dan!
Impressed with what you've done so far, looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
I really like this series you should do more of these
For real
Good job Dan Dan The Welder Man
Liking the series
Dude, take the time to build yourself a real workbench. Game Changer. Good Job, you have more skills than I do.
Just the video I needed to see. Thanks
Hello love the truck and been watching since you got it and love watching you build this truck not all the time I see people rebuild trucks and it is slowly but surely coming out good
This is pretty amazing to be honest. I love what u are doing on the build. Love the duramax trucks.
I fall asleep to this, Do it with Dan and his dully is my asmr
Pls never stop making videos. I fking love you Danny boi
Dan is back in only 3 days! Praise jebus!
The build is sweet man makes me wanna go do mine but havent ever done nothing like that
Loving this build series. Keep up the great work!
that editing at 2:00 was pretty sweet
Theses the type of videos you do best at
Quality over quantity! Keep it up Dan🤙
im a professional fabricator and cnc machinist. Cardboard is great but i always get paper cuts. we use a lot of that pink insulation 4x8s. Very easy to cut and shape. alot of fabricators use that for mock ups
I can't wait to see this beast of a truck when your done with it! Its gonna be awesome!👍👍
Love these build videos Dan, keep up the great work!
Daaaaaaaaan huuuuurrrrryyy with the next vid.
Keep kickin ass danno!! I'll drink a lonestar fo ya! Lol peace homeslice and everybody. Btw bumpers lookin shwifty.
I cannot WAIT to see what you and Justin do when it comes time to wrap this pig.. man oh man.
I'm voting for No Camo! Lol
@@Mike_and_Life I second that!! I want to see a badass graphic or styled two-tone.
Cardboard is all ways the way it’s cheap and light we build frames for rat rods first with cardboard love the work truck it’s looking killer still think you should keep the brown on the truck but you do you. You always pull shit off love it!!
5:20 dan looks like Tobey McGuire lifting something in Spider-Man. Dan literally is a hero
B4 you finish weld make sure you put a piece of metal from the bottom to the top and tak it there so it prevents warping
Love the truck stuff!
Rip the AK in the next Motovlog?
You should see if your welder had a pulse setting. It is very nice for welding 10 gauge metal and will save you a lot of headaches. Also using a normal weld setting you take the risk of warping the bumper and you don’t want that
You better get a Mighty Mug so that coffee doesn't spill.
Wow man i remember when i first started watching your videos years ago thinking you had no clue what your doing, ive defiantly been proven wrong in the last year or so. Great work very impressive how you just dive into these projects not caring what people think! Wish I could have made it to the last meet up at wow. I saw you at the last one but you were surrounded by people and figured you had enough on your plate! Congrats on the new bumper, you indeed have talent no matter what anyone says.
Great Video! I'm glad you started this build so I could find your channel. Definitely quality content!
honestly this is cool as fuckkkk, seeing you put your ideas into action and all the innovation is really motivating
i respect the stuff you do man its truly bad ass keep up the great work dan
Love it!!! Love your channel. Love your video
Man, I've been wanting to see a video like this for a long time! I've been wanting to do the exact same thing. Thanks for this vid!!👍
When are you installing the booster seat and step ladder?
Edit: Also, to help with laying out your lines, look into getting a scriber and layout fluid
Basically, paint the area you want to have the line on with the layout fluid, then use the scriber to scratch the line through the film from the fluid into the steel. If you're good, you can get your lines to within 0.005".
Longer videos it’s worth the wait
Started this series late but loving it
Hey man! Awesome video I have not much experience welding but want to build a bumper for my jeep cherokee trailhawk. There’s only 2 on the market and both are 2k. I have the money but building it myself would be so fun and I can add stuff I really like along the way. Your video has inspired to to start building and designing it
Love this!! Keep it up
