The guy with the red beard sounds like goddamn Kermit no wonder gingers have no souls .
RICH please see this... We would LOVE to see you build a TESLA VAN
$8 cost in materials, $200 cost in labor
Your degrading asf bud. Loved your channel ubtill you started acting like a pos
Rich is a marketing genius.
I am saddened beyond belief that not one joke about Leenda's "only fan" in the ceiling was cracked.
"That's a lot of caulk" "Big drippy caulk"
That is why you put a made up solar technology company logo on the van. And a hi-viz vest to put on the back of one of the front seats.
Simps.
That was Home Depot right? But Rich said Lowe's??
A 1 dollar acid brush and 2 dollars worth of seam sealer would have taken care of that rust a lot faster. But I like what you did for 8 more minutes of content.
RIch is the only other person who I have heard mention Flight of the Navigator. I could not watch that enough as a kid. :)
Hey...I did the roof! Awesome video, you guys are hilarious!
If you mount a tv to the wall, it'd be cool to put a camera in and make it function as a tv and then a window.
It may be an 8 dollar part but his skill would imply that the labor still cost about the same. 🤔😉
I hope you’re gonna turn off the MPH and the Rev Limiter. $65 for the cheapest obd connect 32
Partition gives you privacy
That’s your number 1 fan 🤣
Hey man can you help me to get tesla for cheaper price pleaseeeee
8 DOLLAR PART BUT 1000 FOR STAMP AND WELD MACHINE
M.B. doesn't mean quality.
Wow! Nice sheet metal patch! Y'all made that look much too easy.
Balls
at 7:50 the van is getting the last of its taste of having fedex drivers in it the way he's hucking the packages out lol
Am i the only 15 year old kid here watching bcs you like the vids for the vids and not linda
Gotta love rust repair! "Hey, it's a tiny hole. We'll be done by lunch time." Two days later you have chased that rust hole with the welder half way to the other side of the car and you're looking for two more panels to completely replace because you have discovered more rust under paint. Good job on that patch panel though. Wasn't expecting it to be contoured to match the floor, but makes sense with how large it ended up being. Looks good!
Bro Ain't getting money from Home Depot....
Everyone insulates for heat loss and sound deafens their floor, walls and doors.
*I F T H E V A N ' S A R O C K I N ' , D O N ' T C O M E K N O C K I N '*
Why do you keep saying Leenda lives in the van? She took a roadtrip in it with a friend and then drove home to her apartment in LA...
so where Is the Hot girl at?
I’m fully convinced rich is a virgin
Now, I can understand that your odds are lower in the NE, but did you try a local pick and pull for a similar van and cut a patch panel from it?
Is this thing getting wrapped!? I don't know if the point is to keep it stealth but that would be so cool!
Hi Rich, how can I reach u regarding a new tech idea?
$8 for single peice of steel but assuming everyone owns a welder, step bits, drill wire brush heads.....a couple hundred more than advertized really but that's ok. Still a good tut.
"Well would ya look at that!" "Would you just look at it?" Ahaha awesome reference. 23:27
Lmao the perpetually missing 10mm. Usually it's a 10mm socket, but I suppose the issue afflicts wrenches too!
"Grinding and paint makes you the welder you ain't"
21:25 that filename tho
Corvette still parked? Lemme get that.
Cool channel but SO. MUCH. ADVERTISMENT. on top of the actual adsense ads.
I think you should buy a DeLorean and turn it into a Tesla.
A white van with no windows on the side or back is a kidnapping van....aka night stalker mobile!😅✌🏾
Did anyone else notice his opened tabs when he was using the computer? Lmaoooo
Unnecessarily long runtime. Try to reduce it 👍
Should have bought a used RV instead this seems like too much
For whoever wasn’t using headphones at 12:53 by your parents you are probably dead by now.
Just now realizing the consistency and depth of riches attitude by scrolling through his minicooper thumbnails...
@RichRebuilds please note that this silicone stuff you used for caulking the vent was technically the total wrong stuff. At home in your bathroom the temperature differences summer to winter are not big. But parking the van in the summer sun and driving through winter temeratures requires a stuff that is designed for that and will not crack and leaking. The internet is full of camper van owners crying over leaks because they made it wrong. Do not make the same mistake Leena will have to regretting, please. The right stuff for that is Sikaflex®-252 : is suitable for dynamic loading, structural bonding, Product advantages: 1 part, Elastic, Can be painted, Tolerance compensation, High dynamic load, Vibration-retardant, Non-corrosive, High electrical resistance, Wide range of adhesion, Silicone free Greetings from Germany! Love your channel
Hate to say it after the fact but you should have sprayed as much closed cell foam for the exterior walls, roof and doors as possible. That insulation you are using doesn't have much of an R factor regardless of how they advertise it. Also the metal framing that the walls will connect to will cause thermal bridging and bypass your insulation. Insulation is going to be the limiting factor of how comfortable the rig is and how much fuel she uses.
Flight of the Navigator!? I was rolling on the floor at the RichHub underwear thing but you had me up and cheering when you mentioned that old movie. I had a big crush on Sarah Jessica Parker from that film. Thank you, good sir
They do all this work on the van, give it to her then she sells it and buys a cheap condo, lol.
Honestly brother i wouldn't mind to have the old van if you can send it to me in ghana. I wonder why aliens would complain someone living in a van. Please brother i need that old van ain't joking I could make a living out of it believe me.
The fine gearshift anecdotally scrape because professor uncommonly learn a a past war. ruddy, jumpy appeal
Ok Rich, I am volunteering to be the voice of many a viewer. We want to see more of Leenda (and More, meaning her body). Also, I can't believe you are not getting donations or products in the sprinter build, this would be better than paying for a commercial for them!!
Rich, while the pornhub joke was good I would advise you to reconsider those types of jokes. Some people watch your channel with their kids. No hate or hard feelings. Take care and good luck!
the fan looks like really good quality. you should post a link of for us Bro. warm and cool van with a good sound system too.....
10mm is annoying
It still woulda been cool to have a complete barrier between cockpit and rear area.
Hey what's happening rich just wanted to let you know man your badass bro you build some cool shit. You seem like a cool dude so hell with all them haters out there man. All you haters need to get a life. You're doing some cool stuff bro I love your videos.
I get a general feeling like this is a really half assed attempt at "helping" someone. Any good coming out of this is heavily overshadowed with the general IDGAF attitude, sexual innuendo toward the van or Leenda and general disrespect for the her. Regardless of the existing nature of the channel and the bros having rude banter, this series is all cringe and that lady regardless of her situation doesn't deserve to be treated or talked about like that
peep the tabs he has opened lmaoo
Grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't
When it's complete, ask Stepmom to take a look at it to make sure there is no place someone could get stuck in there. I'm sure @Samcrac would appreciate that.
Everybody loses their 10mm wrenches and sockets. Go figure.
Plz keep us udated with van. Amazing!!!
Rich bought her a Mercedes and a home..... S I M P
....the wall you removed was placed there by INTELLIGENT engineers for purposes of SECURITY.... as in.... youknow.... SECURING the Contents in the BACK of the Van....such as.... PEOPLE....
I didn’t watch it, ofcourse, but I hit the like button. I like cars, not vans 😂😂🤘🏼🤘🏼
Great group of guys frfr! I knew he was gonna do this the moment he stepped foot in her camper, game recognize game.
Almost woke my wife up from laughing. All the "White Knights".......... Like the 40 year olds living in their parents dark basement that are gonna "Take care" of her. They almost sound like the tuning experts that dont even own a car. Keyboard jockeys is the phrase Im looking for..........
Yeah stealth vanning is very five years ago. No one cares you live in your van.
When is the next video coming out, wanne see the process of the van coming toggether ;)
Sunday
Virgin OEM fan VS Chad aftermarket fan
Once this van build is done, they should call it “Jean Claude Van Daaaaamn”
Bryan looks like he loves muscular women :-p
Rich, you are a certified crazy person! Lmao!
if i ever picked up a woman for a date and saw she was living in an rv, i would insist that she stay at my place until she gets her own, id feel guilty and wouldnt sleep knowing that...
Rich, what do you think of the following Chinese EVs: Nio, Xpeng, Li Auto. Some of them are using Nvidia autonomous chip, they're approaching level 5 autonomous. Do you think they're getting close to Tesla?
Oh my god this will be the coolest thing ever if Rich found out a way to run the electricity off a Tesla battery pack
I'm subscribing just to hear them bullshit lmao 😂
I swear homie with the red flannel sounds like Bert from Sesame Street.
this channel is very important
I watch a lot of car audio videos, and you know I'm actually really impressed by how you guys did the sound deadening along with also doing thermal Insulation at the same time. very cool guys and thanks for showing us that. I did have a question about the solar panels and I know the panels that you're putting on there are very efficient and probably last a long time, however I was wondering about the ones that you can physically attached to the body that are somewhat semi-flexible and wood mold to the surface of the slats up on top of the roof. I was thinking about making my own or at the very least getting the flexible style panels that roll or the ones where you were able to mold them at least closely to the shape of the ceiling of the van. I order myself some solar panels from eBay and was going to do the same thing but I realized that I can't use the regular polycrystalline style without them cracking so I was thinking about getting some small flexible panels that are thin enough to go in between the slats that way it looks like it was integrated within the body. there's a lot of surface area up there and sit sits on top of the roof more than likely it'll never be messed with so it's something I was thinking about doing this summer
Next up mod the McQueen !! Not like grind hard plumbing but rich style. New 3D printed gearboxes with bigger gears and plenty of lube!!
Rich and a body of water are never in the same room. Suspicious.. (Showers aren't bodies of water, baths are though. Here's a cookie for the trouble 🍪)
Rich: ..Very well known hardwood store.. Me being snarky: *Walmart*
lol i like how you guys buy a van in usa and then that amount of rust is a broblem here u buy an old mercedes van and u can poke ur feet thru the floor of the car XD thats how rusty it would be here because they salt the freaking roads every winter
Laughing at Rich as I watch from the comfort of my van. 😆
Why do you have a head mounted tail light
Hope you sprayed the inside of the interior with rust inhibitors then a spray called lizard skin sound deadening and insulates
Need more videos on the van build!
In the U.K. 🇬🇧 these sprinters literally rust into the ground right in front of your eyes. If you want to get rid of the rust just get rid if the van.
I enjoy that you build a fake loan website just for the meme. I applaud you sir
Patch panel came out good.
Grinding and paint makes you the welder that you ain’t.
My new hobby is watching uncle rich's caulk harden.........
you guys need to watch a couple more van build videos! this is absolutely basic insulation. Under the sub floor you gave away a 1/2" of possible insulation, nothing in the walls, despite having those deep cavities. So stop bragging. But its hilarious to watch...
Leenda is going to be so happy!, dam solar and everything!
