    That hot water system he has is genius. I took notes on that - even I probably wouldn't have thought of all of that. It means he can warm the engine up for starting even when its -40°C outside without needing to be by a plug in for an electric block heater. Very clever.

    • @JBF-GST-Tanda
      @JBF-GST-Tanda 7 месяцев назад +3

      Yeah, with diesel fuel or solid fuel or both, and without any deliberate operations - Once the room heating is on, the engine coolant is preheated simultaneously. And when the vehicle is running, the excess heat from engine is gathered and reused to heat up both the water tank (through heat exchangers) and the interior space (through the vehicle's original A/C system). Super efficient.
      Still haven't found what the LPG tank at 1:56 is used for, as the cooking burner is wood-fired... Maybe it's just a warning sign "Don't ever try to be too close behind me unless you want to blow up your car"

    5 ton we use to drive while I was in the service. I remember my first year in back in 1995 I drove one of those to a range with the 4 wheel drive engaged and started smelling something burning. We got to the range and the mechanic opened up the front hub and black dust started coming out. I had no clue that I had the front wheels engaged, lol. That was a true private moment, lol. I retired June 2014, we don't use them anymore but you can probably catch one assigned to a National Guard unit.

    You did really an amazing build and probably ones of the best I’ve seen in a very very long time , Congratulations I’m very impressed
