hey everyone welcome back to the live stream tonight if you just join us for the previous live stream we were upholster we uh finished doing our VY
1:27
graphic on the acrylic piece that we upholstered for the back of the battery
1:32
system on the van I'll show you a little sneak peek of that it's right over there we'll be right back there in just a
1:38
second um I just fixed the microphone so that's why we had to redo this one but
1:44
uh everything's good now so everything sounds great we're going to keep on going this video you guys are here for
1:50
the Flatline vanco driver side rear tire carrier install so instead of going step
1:55
by step uh as we do pretty much through everything this live stream is going to go over uh some Pro tips that uh of some
2:02
things that I ran into during the install that you guys might find helpful
2:08
if you're getting ready to do this and you don't want to deal with them has to do with the brackets has to do with uh
2:13
drilling some holes and stuff like that so we're going to go over all that um and that's pretty much going to be the
2:18
live stream this afternoon we have the questions opening open in the chat if you guys have any questions um and you
2:25
want to uh hop in the chat and ask me those questions uh I'd love to Sam the computer right here is away from
2:33
the van so I might have to jog back and forth but yeah let's go ahead and get
2:38
started I'm going to hop on over to the other camera and we're going to go from there so let's make sure everything's
2:49
working looks okay had a little audio issues earlier so I'm
2:56
hoping this is going to work and we're g to go from
3:02
there all right let me get this camera dialed in really
3:11
quick all right yeah the feed looks pretty good okay all right let's go ahead and get started we've
3:17
got the back side of the door um actually I'm going to zoom into this
3:25
panel because I told you guys that if you were jumping from the P stream to this live stream that I would talk about
3:31
it so this right here is what I just finished working
3:38
on so we're just going to talk about it real brief we're going to get get the Flatline vanco rack but so this is what
3:45
I made it is uh upholstered panel this is a piece of uh Birch and we painted it
3:53
and then we wrapped it in Marathon um fabric so so the gray
4:00
Heather we have our etched glass logo on there and then this is going to slide in
4:08
uh we still got to put some pieces of 8020 to uh get this into its
4:15
spot but pretty much all we do is just take this and then we're going to get a
4:27
[Applause] screw I'm going to come in
4:42
here and again this is just temporary but I just wanted to uh show you guys
4:48
this tonight because it's pretty exciting so there you go so we've got our nice got a logo there kind of
4:54
covering everything up uh I left this bottom space open because this is where we're going to have the information
5:01
coming out of the inverter and then your indicator lights for your Renegy system um it's important to make sure that you
5:08
can see them and see what they're telling you uh but if you want to know
5:13
how to do this uh acrylic panel you can go to the previous live stream check it
5:19
out and it'll walk you through the process but it's kind of like a
5:25
signature thing I'm doing on my van builds um not sure if everyone's going to like it but
5:30
but uh having done the whole car customization thing growing up um I kind
5:35
of like the way it looks how you can see the internals but you guys are here not for that you're here for the rear tire
5:42
carrier so let's get this reframed and let's start talking about
5:49
this so make sure my audio is
5:56
good yep all right so the Flatline vanco rear
6:02
tire carrier this is Loosely on here because
6:09
we're going to be doing this together tonight but here's the carrier itself
6:15
it's kind of what it looks like it's Loosely on here like I just said it's just got two bolts uh the main point is
6:21
this right here is the piece that we are working on at the current moment so what
6:27
I've done is you're you're going to have a template in your kit and you're going to need
6:32
to uh put the template on it goes from here down actually from here down and it
6:39
kind of comes into this right angle uh find your hole drill a pilot
6:44
hole and then you know enlarge it to the drill bit size that they recommend using now when you're done with that
6:51
that will be where this bolts do so it's I mean that's pretty straightforward
6:57
here's where the challenge comes in you also need a hole here some Ford transits uh I've
7:05
noticed this one did not have a slot from the factory I don't know if it's because it's the 2020 model year or
7:12
whatnot but there's a slot over here on this side there's not a slot on this side so what I had to do was I had to
7:19
put this internal bracket in drill from the inside out and then relocate this hole hopefully you don't have to do that
7:26
because this was pretty challenging uh it's a visual spot it's a spot you don't want to mess up on you want to drill
7:32
once get it right uh because this is where you open the door all the time so
7:37
this is exposed so that was a challenging part the other challenging part is the actual brackets
7:46
themselves so you'll need somebody to help you I tried to do with a jack stand and just lower loosen one side at a
7:53
time and that tended to that did not uh work out the way that I thought it would
7:59
um um so uh had another set of hands come in
8:05
and we did the bottom bracket kind of tilted the door out did the top bracket tilted it back
8:10
out come to find out this top bracket up here it really has the fitment of this
8:17
has to do with the alignment of your door so if this door is aligned properly
8:22
from Ford and your body body panels here are riveted and they are all like
8:28
they're supposed to be you're not going to have an issue however on this door the issue that I
8:38
had here trying to make sure that this is in
8:43
frame for you guys the issue I had was this bracket up
8:51
here and I may move the camera um this bracket up here was
8:57
touching the door hinge so the bracket was on but it was uh
9:04
touching this this part of the van so this body panel so if I had shut the
9:09
door it would have made a little Dent inside the back of the van so what I had to do is I had to actually take this off
9:16
and I had to grind down that 90° corner to more of like a 45 and then have like
9:22
a nice bevel on it that gave me enough room so that when this is fully closed
9:27
it's not touching anything the brackets are aluminum so luckily you know they're not going to corrode too bad spray paint
9:35
it with some matte black spray paint that Fusion spray paint and um it was uh
9:42
it worked out perfect so let's see here there we
9:48
go away from my computer so I need to make sure you guys can see me um all right so that actually worked
9:55
out pretty good this was a challenge over here the good news is I've fast forwarded
10:01
everything so I've already did rest preventative on the inside of this uh that bracket is
10:10
actually right
10:18
here so this is what the bracket looks like and so what this is going to do is
10:25
uh let's see here one one side's going to go like this and then one side is going to uh be over
10:32
here so you both you have up and down movement here and then in and out play the one with the in and out is the outer
10:38
bolt and the one with the up and down play is the uh this side bolt that's going to go
10:46
in uh let's see how that's looking on camera really
10:54
quick okay looks pretty good
11:02
all right so the first thing that I'm going to do is I'm going to come in
11:07
here and we need to get our
11:14
bolt so if you were installing this again this is not really a step-by-step install video this is I'm really
11:19
pointing out all the issues that I had so that when you guys get ready to approach this you're not having these issues so check your brackets to make
11:26
sure that when you shut the door they're not p pinching into the van body itself
11:32
so check that carefully um actually before you do that you need to make take a permanent marker
11:37
and mark for your um uh your door alignment so you need a
11:43
top Mark a bottom Mark and a side mark because you need to when you put the door back on you need to get the bracket
11:49
on but you need to reset the door so that uh it's an alignment and you need
11:55
to make those alignment marks long don't make them short because the bracket from Flatline vanco is going to cover up
12:01
those lines and you won't be able to see them if you don't make them long enough and it defeats the whole entire purpose
12:07
so do that check the brackets make sure they do not cutting into your van because that would be you know it's
12:13
pretty bad um and then once you do that go ahead and uh test fit the rack so don't go
12:23
ahead and commit to tightening down those uh bolts yet uh put the rack on
12:28
there there make sure everything fits and it's an uh rough alignment and then go ahead
12:35
and cinch down on or Torque down the Brack the U the door hanging uh
12:41
bracket the hinge bolts once you do that take your four
12:46
screws Loosely put on this uh rack and then put it on so that you can do what
12:54
I'm doing so see how it's just it's ever so slightly just I mean I can move
12:59
this take this get it in place and then what you want to do is you want to go ahead and tighten
13:07
down the bottom one and the top one and you want this whole rack to be away from
13:13
the van so don't slide it into the van because this is going to cut into your paint down here at the bottom and uh
13:21
it's going to rub up against your plastic so you want to have your whole the whole rack pulled out and
13:29
pulled out from the top all right uh this is all stuff that
13:34
uh I didn't find uh until I did it so pull out from the bottom pull it from
13:39
the top top and then go ahead and tighten the top bolt down just one and the bottom one just one and then that is
13:46
going to make sure that you can verify where your hole is now the template should be accurate
13:54
but you always want to double check this stuff um you know somebody could have welded something something off a little
13:59
bit somebody could have trust me even though you have a template do
14:06
this put this on and that way you'll know that everything
14:11
is as close as it's going to be when you get done go ahead and take a
14:18
center punch and just do a little punch down right here and then look at your uh
14:25
template that they give you and see how off it is if it's spot on cool move
14:30
forward if not you're going to want to use what you just did here as your
14:36
reference and not uh what you were using from the template
14:42
hopefully that makes sense then you're going to drill the hole and there's two sheets of there's a
14:49
thin sheet of sheet metal and then there's a reinforcement tab in the back so just be very careful when you're
14:55
drilling this that when you go through the sheet metal you still got some more metal to keep going and not only that
15:03
the mechanism that opens and shuts the door right here the cable the cable is
15:11
right here so once you make it through to the other side don't go crazy you know
15:19
drilling out the hole because you might start to cut at that cable that's on the inside that is why they recom or they
15:27
ask you to take take off this interior panel not only so you
15:33
can put this bolt and Hardware kit on but I'm guessing because uh they would
15:38
like you to be aware of that um uh piece of piece of the cable that's
15:45
in here also you're going to have to take all this off take the plastic off um
15:52
from Ford because you want to get up in here not only for this Hardware but once you drill the holes you're going to get
15:59
a can of spray paint and make sure you do Rust preventive on both of the holes before moving forward go ahead and let
16:05
that dry so we're now at the point to I can reinstall this back bracket
16:11
finally uh we're going to take this bracket we're going to take our little seiling washer and we're going to put
16:17
that on there and then we're going to put this in the bracket just like just like that
16:24
uh and let's see if I can zoom in to make this a little B more enjoy
16:33
able
16:42
okay okay so here's the bracket here's the bolt when we go inside there's there
16:48
there's a wire so I act like uh act like this is the wire coming
16:55
holding that coming down you're going to take the bracket and you want to go around the
17:00
cable and then put this into place this needs to go around the cable first
17:06
before it goes in all right now we take this don't drop this screw uh it would not be
17:13
good cuz I think this screw is oh no okay never
17:20
mind it is magnetic all right so let's
17:26
go going to put this in here
18:00
okay I'm going to take the bracket back out all right we're looking
18:06
good see what we got going on here all right next step is I'm going to
18:12
take the door and I think for this video purpose
18:17
I'm going to lock it into place so I can have a good camera angle
18:23
for you guys
18:36
all right let's change up the
18:46
camera there we
18:55
go all right we're going to go and get some some gasket
19:02
maker as much as I want the flatl vanco part to seal a well we want to double
19:10
check our make sure we can seal all the water out so we're going to use our gasket
19:17
maker to do
19:24
that and I'm just going and grabbing some gloves here so I can
19:29
get this ready so once we put the gasket maker on there I'll be back over by the camera and we
19:34
can start actually bolting everything up and tightening it down and then we'll actually reference the manual to go over
19:41
everything and should be it it should be pretty
19:49
straightforward I feel like it's good to do uh what not to do video versus a what to to do
19:56
video all right so I'm at the other side of the shop over here
20:04
so I'm just I'm cleaning out this uh gasket maker that I used
20:13
earlier all right so this is black RTV that's
20:20
basically what it is and I just got black RTV because
20:26
uh it looks better than red RTV all right so we got that we got our
20:31
bolt bracket all right let's go back and we'll change cameras go to the other
20:43
side there we
20:57
go
21:10
okay so we're going to put the RTV on this back side
21:16
here you guys can see we've already rust prevented this around the door so we're good and safe there this is what we
21:24
really want to make sure that we have on here and we're going to put it on this
21:42
side so I found out what happens when you uh install this on the back
21:48
door uh this outer sheet metal this back door is really thin it's very thin and
21:57
uh that is not good for when you're
22:02
drilling because it makes it pretty uh weak and so what's happened is this has
22:10
uh kind of bent in just a little bit
22:15
um so there's a little dip so it's it's not going to seal like I don't it's not
22:21
going to seal like it was supposed to all right let's get our bracket in
22:27
here
23:03
now to get this uh bolt on the outside I had to actually use a uh clamp like this
23:09
to actually cinch it down go fix the camera lighting looks
23:17
very strange see
23:26
here there you
23:34
go get my wrenches so for these bolts that they Supply you it's a
23:40
9/16th uh
23:48
wrench and then we're going to have one washer for the
23:56
outside
24:25
okay the so this is the easy part believe it or not the hard part is going
24:30
to be when we go to um
24:37
uh first I got to get around
24:43
this go the hard part is the other there the smaller bolt it's going to be the
24:49
that's going to be the challenging one to get through
24:55
here all right now let's let this fall
25:02
back okay so we put the RTV on
25:26
there
25:33
all right so now we're going to need our clamp go the rest of the
25:40
distance and the reason I'm doing this is to get the nut on that's the only pretty much the only
25:56
reason I mean your van might be different you might actually not have an issue
26:03
with
26:12
this okay we
26:26
go
27:46
so what I did is I just removed the ceiling washer I'm going to put it on
27:51
the outside because there's uh the thread length is not long
27:56
enough to put it on the inside
28:01
so it's another interesting little
28:14
hiccup all right now I can actually get I have enough threads now to actually pick up on
28:24
something so we're going to put this ceiling washer on the other other
28:56
side
29:03
yeah this just needs to be a longer bolt there's not there's not a longer bolt in my kit for some
29:17
reason we may come back to this bolt after we tighten everything
29:26
down
29:34
before we get it too tight we need to take our smaller bolt and bring it through this
29:46
bracket okay and I'm actually going to verify
29:51
the uh allen wrench key size first
30:09
so it looks like it's
30:14
3.5 for the inner door bolt for the Allen key and then we've
30:22
got let's find out what size nut this is
30:41
716 for the
30:56
net
31:13
this is going to be tough cuz we're going to uh we might
31:19
actually um this is going to be hard not to drop
31:26
this also be careful as you saw me run into my
31:34
own clamp all [Music]
31:39
right getting more technical
31:55
now all right so without dropping the screws in the
32:01
door see if we can get this on here okay we got the washer got her nut in
32:11
place okay man that's always the hardest right
32:18
[Music] there this thing is
32:26
dangerous
32:37
yeah if you drop something into this uh door cavity you are it is not going to be
32:44
good just letting you guys
32:56
know
33:11
so I want to tighten this but I don't want to tighten it so much that it actually starts to bend this part of the
33:17
door frame which okay this is about as much as I'm going to do
33:24
that I can kind of see like a dip forming
33:36
so I'm going loosen up on the other
33:55
Bolt
34:36
okay this is good yeah loosen up on this bolt and
34:42
just come in with this
34:55
one I feel good about
35:04
that before we get too far I'm going to get some uh denatured alcohol and clean this up because I've already
35:11
got stuff on the
35:25
door
36:20
all right so let's go ahead and we're going to tighten down this uh outer
36:25
Bolt
36:43
[Applause]
38:01
so I'm actually going to take this nut off the backside and I'm going to put on
38:06
some uh
38:19
locktite I'm putting on red locti by the
38:25
way
39:07
man this bolt is just
39:17
not yeah this has to be the wrong bolt in the kit this B this bolt is just not long
39:24
enough see if I have a spare spare
39:50
bolt yeah they don't there's no other bolt in the kit this has this has to be the
40:25
bolt
40:38
it's a 3/8 bolt they give you an one inch
40:55
Bolt
41:09
Perfect all right there we go okay so I'm going to replace it with
41:16
a stainless steel 38-16 in and a quarter
41:25
Bolt
41:48
this is going to be fun trying to get an allen key on the
41:55
inside
42:20
so 732 Allen key is what I'm using for this Bolt
42:50
yeah that's much better
42:59
so now we can grab our ceiling R uh washer with our seal on it which is what
43:06
we're supposed to use we can put that on
43:11
there then we can take our nut and we can put that on there all
43:17
right that's good that's really good now we are getting
43:25
somewhere
43:31
got to make sure I do not drop this Allen
43:55
key
45:04
okay we're good let's move on to the next part of this
45:24
install
45:42
all right we're going to come over here to pull out these uh side pieces let's
45:47
zoom out on the camera all
45:54
right
46:08
so do the top and the bottom and then we'll come back in here and we'll tighten up uh these plate bolts um I
46:15
think they want you to do that before you do all this but I'm not undoing that and I can get I can probably get a
46:21
wrench behind here to tighten this down
47:21
now these are going to come with washers so just make sure you grab a washer
47:26
and go ahead and put it on
47:54
there
48:06
as you're tighten this up make sure you keep the rack pulled uh out towards
48:24
you
49:59
[Music]
53:25
all putting those other screws away and somehow I uh I'm missing one of the screws I don't
53:31
know where I put it it's for this little bumper pad that sits right here at this bottom so it's
53:39
it does actually connect it to the van it's just there to uh just to have a
53:44
little bit more support again just make sure you're
53:50
pulling out
53:55
away from the
54:17
van you guys were here earlier in the live stream this top bracket was one that I had to modify just by grinding
54:24
the edges off because it was actually I couldn't get it in alignment with the uh
54:30
Ford Transit door and it was uh actually kind of gouging the the body
54:38
so I think it's more of a Ford thing not a flatline vanco thing
54:44
because had to do with the body panel the Flatline vanco bracket looked
54:49
like normal it looked like how it's supposed to be
54:55
all right man that is solid okay
55:01
perfect all right besides that one little bracket over here that I need to get to um I'll have to come back to that
55:08
later cuz oh here they are I found them good good good
55:24
good all right let's go ahead and bring this other Hardware over to
55:29
the build area so we've got a bracket that goes
55:36
here uh with four bolts it's two plates um then we got
55:42
some Hardware to actually hold the spare tire
55:48
um yeah so that is our that's our next step I'm going to go ahead and put this little side bracket on before
55:56
or the part gets lost in the shop Parts don't get lost and they're
56:03
still here they're just uh they might be somewhere
56:09
else um I think this is the reason why I what
56:15
going to delay this video is all this little uh all the logos the dealerships
56:21
put on here and to get in your way of working on the
56:53
van
57:01
I don't know the technical term for this little plate is but it's just like a little assistance
57:21
bracket okay all right that looks good let's
57:26
tighten that one down and then we can move to uh getting the hardware on here to actually get the um spare tire put on
57:35
uh I see a lot more people in the Stream so I'm going to just quickly go over the kind of pain points I was going through
57:41
when I installed this so I actually have the instructions and we're going to go
57:47
through those at the end if you guys are interested you can stick stay till the end um but we are using the uh the PDF
57:55
to go through and install uh I'm making this video it's not a step-by-step tutorial but I'm making it because
58:02
there's a bunch of things that happened while I was doing this that don't normally happen so this upper bracket
58:09
right here it was when I put it on even though the door was in
58:14
alignment my Ford Transit van the door actually goes into the van about eighth
58:20
of an inch more than I have another van outside uh and that cause this bracket
58:26
to actually pinch on the inside so I had to grind it to make that pinch go away
58:31
so it wouldn't tear up the van and then I R spray painted a matte black it looks great it works fine uh again I do don't
58:39
think it has anything to do with Flatline van Co it's the Ford Howard this van got built on the assembly line
58:45
down here in the bottom the bracket was not an issue real quick over here this
58:51
was an issue on the van because uh uh the template over here I wanted to
58:58
make sure I double checked where my hole was and I did the template did a whole
59:04
center punch and then I went and just manually put this on and it was a little offset so I went with my bolted in
59:13
option just to make sure that my hole that I drilled was perfect so I did that and then on the inside here there's a
59:20
hole that you use to bolt the bracket on uh on the other side this is supposed to
59:27
be a slotted hole from Ford it's on that door it's not on this door
59:33
so what I had to do was drill from the inside out and then relocate this hole
59:39
and this hole is one of those where if you mess up it's you're going to visually see it because you're going to
59:44
open this every time so I needed to make sure it was perfect so that took quite a bit of time I did not do that on
59:52
camera uh I was going to make it did this whole tutorial video but I decided to do this
59:57
cuz you start making the video and then it just takes forever so it's easier for
1:00:03
me just to do a live stream for you guys um I'm going go actually go see if we have any questions here you guys are
1:00:09
welcome to ask questions tonight uh as we're working through this uh it does not have to be on what
1:00:15
I'm working on I'm actually going to move the camera so you guys can
1:00:22
see possibly a little bit better there we
1:00:30
go okay let's keep going I'm going to tighten this bracket down here anyway
1:00:36
that was that's a summary of all the issues that I had going on with uh installing
1:00:42
this so um yeah hopefully that helped you
1:00:53
out
1:02:39
all right pretty good so I'm pull out the laptop and let's keep on going with the regular
1:02:47
install
1:02:53
method
1:02:59
all right now we're getting ready to put on the apparatus that holds the spare
1:03:06
tire so this big thing right here and we need to take these two
1:03:14
plates out of this
1:03:21
package yeah so now after all that fun stuff we are we're actually back on the normal installed path with the
1:03:30
instructions these two plates are going to go behind here all right and then you're going to
1:03:36
have the bolt go uh into this slot the square slot and
1:03:41
then you're going to take this and put it onto
1:03:52
the onto the van okay so
1:03:57
this let's figure out what orientation we want here okay the circle part goes
1:04:05
out the adjustment Tabs go on the
1:04:10
inside all right let's go ahead and do this now I'm not doing it I'm now back
1:04:19
to the instructions earlier I was not doing the instructions sometimes I
1:04:25
deviate from the instructions only because not trying to be a not all but
1:04:32
like some things I might just want to do a different way to get to the same point if you guys
1:04:38
know what I
1:04:53
mean so what I'm doing right now this was
1:04:58
supposed to be done earlier but I like to adjust this rack to kind of have get I
1:05:07
want it to kind of find its home so it's not binding anywhere and this I didn't want to put this on so would it would
1:05:14
stay nice and light as light as possible so I can move it
1:05:23
around
1:05:39
I'm I'm going to jokingly say this but you might want to wash your van behind here cuz it's it's really hard to get
1:05:45
back behind there when this is all said and
1:05:53
done
1:06:09
but if you guys are watching what I'm doing you can see it is
1:06:14
possible to do this this way just be careful because these bolts these bolts
1:06:20
may fall out that is highly
1:06:38
likely come on stick with me we're so
1:06:44
close there we go these uh drilled holes over here
1:06:50
they're on the right side they go they go to the right side of the
1:07:08
van go ahead and double check the instructions okay we're doing a good
1:07:22
job
1:08:12
okay what size are these bolts what wrench do we
1:08:22
need
1:08:52
3/4
1:10:46
[Music]
1:11:17
okay it feels great all right Next Step
1:11:52
for all right so the next thing we need to take is we need to put in the
1:12:01
studs uh right here that come with it uh we need to use
1:12:07
Loctite put them in all right shouldn't be too
1:12:22
hard
1:12:40
so two on the top and then one on the
1:12:45
bottom and these correspond I'm sure they're kind of using this universally
1:12:51
so this corresponds to the if you have a Ford Transit or uh
1:13:00
whatever thread pitch you have I'm not thread pitch
1:13:05
your lug nut
1:13:14
orientation they're using blue I'm using red locktite
1:13:22
because I can't find the blue at the moment but if I were a spare tire carrier on
1:13:29
the rear of a Ford Transit going down the highway I would like to
1:13:36
have blue Lo uh red
1:13:46
locti okay this is really odd what what's going on
1:13:52
here
1:14:00
these are not they're all the same
1:14:05
length but they're not bottoming out that is this one's fine this one's
1:14:12
fine this one's go a little too far then I like it
1:14:18
to go
1:14:26
all right let's see if we got what size Allen wrench do they want for
1:14:52
this
1:16:22
is
1:17:52
for
1:18:03
okay hopefully that is good to
1:18:14
go must be like a safety bar let's get our spare tire and let's let's try this thing
1:18:21
out
1:19:51
all
1:20:00
they do provide you with these security security locks which is
1:20:12
nice oh I'm messing with the come
1:20:21
on
1:20:55
all in all this is not too bad this was the most critical part over here it's the part that you don't want to cheat on
1:21:01
you want to make sure you get it right
1:21:21
so
1:21:51
for
1:22:03
there you
1:22:11
go at these pretty hand tight and let's uh shut the door cuz it's kind of
1:22:19
the it's the test I like to go by to see if uh something is the way it should
1:22:30
be all
1:22:50
right okay I feel pretty good about
1:22:58
that all right let check the door opening now remember when you have something like this you cannot open the
1:23:04
door all the
1:23:21
way hear a little bit of
1:23:29
squeak is the rubber
1:23:42
here oh that's what it
1:23:51
is
1:24:00
okay pretty happy with that that is nice and sturdy all right this is the end of the
1:24:05
video here let's uh try to be quiet so you can hear it
1:24:12
slim all right that's that is pretty
1:24:18
good that is nice and solid all right I
1:24:24
