Great job Trent and Brandon you guys make it look easy. Heres a free design tip ( idea ) on the front bumper, put a 8" to 10 " thick round steal pipe. Weld the ends closed. Now weld the fitting on the pipe bumper, so u have a air gauge, and clip on hose bins so you can pump 30.000 PSI of air in the bumper. Say 200 on the gages. ( why your asking) guys what happens all the time rock crawling. Tires peels off the rim. Your stuck in the middle of no where. Well, u will have the air tank, to pump the tire back up. After you used old trick, starter fluid pop tire back on the rim. I've seen , those bumpers used, very cool..it's still a strong bumper, weld mounts on it if you want for a custom, front on the pipe air tank.
Been watching since vanlife, youll never be rid of the haters lol im not even a "car" person and I still cant wait for the next episode. Quality content, willingness to learn/make mistakes, hard work, literaly a MULTITUDE of trades you've learned, developed, shared, and/or attempted and accomplished to at the very LEAST above average competence...keep it up guys nothing but the best wishes for all of you!
I am the same...I have no idea what they are doing or talking about but I love these guys! They are everything you described and that's what keeps me watching....Love them!! Thanks😀🤔🥰 That Jack is Awesome, unbelievable!!
Same. I would never have gone looking for garage or truck building videos but here I am excited each week to watch Trent and Brandon work on the truck.
Here's a tip. Your new jack has rubber bellows for lifting power, so when you're welding anything over or near the jack cover it with a fire resistant blanket. You don't want slag/hot sparks burning a hole through the bellows. Just a thought, it your garage.
This crawler is going to be awesome! Can’t wait for the day you take “her” to Moab! Say goodbye jeep rental 😃 Happy Mother’s Day Allie,, hope you’re feeling better!
Hi Trent Jason here all the way from Barbados , a small tip when you have a chance before you put the motor in take back off those headers and run a drill a size over through the holes to allow for expansion when they heat up doesnt have to be huge maybe a 1/16th or so oversized will do wonders for removal in the future
🇳🇱Once again a very educational video that will help many a student car mechanic. You could start as an instructor, were it not for the fact that you still have to finish a roof and a garage and, above all, make it waterproof 😂 greetings from the Netherlands Hans.👍👍👍👍🍀
Trent, Quick trick for your engine hoist! When you are setting it up, or when it is in the down position, just release the valve that releases or lowers the ram, and pull up the hoist arm to what position you want and hold it in that position until you tighten the valve for pressure or lowering! It saves a ton of time!
Thought I would check out this channel, been watching you and Allly for years now and thougt I wouldn't really be into watching car stuff. Well, I never would have thought I would be so interested in watching this type of video, but I was so into it! You explain everything so well. I'm going to watch from the beginning.I want to see it all come together. Great job Trent!
Trent that’s so great that you were sent that fancy Jack ( I don’t know anything about what you’re doing) but I’m so happy for you! Cool jack, that’s awesome. Great company to do that for you. Happy for you 😊, see you, Allie and gang tomorrow morning.
good man for taking the time to really think about your job at hand and how you can make it happen after thinking it out. Mark many times weld one time, taking your time.🤙
Trent, as always, I am blown away with the knowledge, and skills you have acquired. My dad was a man like that. I was always impressed how much he figured out. It is a skill not many can acquirer. You and Brandon impress me so much. Allie, Happy Mother's day. You are such an amazing lady. You can see how loved Leo is. Have a wonderful week. ❤
Hey Trent, when you put the supercharger on, get yourself a Tundra V8 oil filler neck. It’s shorter than the Tacoma one and it makes getting the oil cap on and off oil much easier.
You're always fun to watch. Your new jack made me think of how tools have changed since my days of making mistakes and trying to figure it all out, you know having fun. I'm 76 years old and a lot of the tools I used made the job easier than it was for those who lived before me. Anyway, it made me think of the future and with AI I think the do-it-yourselfer will have a tool that you push a button and it'll do all the work while you sit back and have a cup of coffee and watch. lol
Thanks for explaining the steering on rock crawlers, I always wondered what was different than the regular hydraulic steering, Trent gave me the answer, the sway bar and steering knuckle are tied together.
Hey there Trent. New subscriber here. I really enjoyed this starting video for your Trent's Garage series. I'm always on the lookout for quality content creators to help me keep my mind off of my renal cell carcinoma. I was first diagnosed in 2018 and just recently received a stage 4 diagnosis. I want to thank you for your content and in helping me keeping my head out of the depression well. P.S. My Sweetheart has been watching you and your family since Vanlife, so she sort of introduced me to you folks as I sometimes watched the progress of your house and garage building.
Hi Buck, So sorry to hear about that diagnosis. Sounds like a rough ride. Glad your honey put you onto this crew, nice to keep mind on wholesome people. That's where it's at. I love these channels and have been watching since vanlife also. I'm wishing you and your gf the very best possible as you deal with your health.
@@cornypinkuni9519 Thank you so much for your kind response. Rough ride is an understatement, especially when the renal cell carcinoma jumped into my liver. At this point it's no joke being nauseous each and every day and vomiting multiple times within a single day really sucks.
@@cornypinkuni9519 No timeline has been given. My previous oncologist pretty much felt it was terminal. I have a new oncologist, that actually specializes in kidney cancer, whom feels I have many options before me and does not think I have reached the end of the line. As for the vomiting, I can only do what I have been doing with the anti-nausea medications. Once the renal cell carcinoma jumped into the liver, the liver creates these cancer lesions which produces the nausea.
For tapping stud holes you need a "bottom tap" it has no taper on the lead in, you can start your threads with a taper tap though. you're doing fine on your build.
Fun fact. The hydro cylinder doesn't have to be centered as long as you have enough stroke for full deflection the tie rods will make up the difference
I think you need to get yourself a MAG drill to drill those holes so you get them in right and not tried doing it by hand all right this is Bob from Vero Beach Florida God bless say say have a great week and can't wait for your you and alleys next video okay
they were probably built in Mexico like so many header company's. Our comp headers require two collectors on each side, and are made from stainless steel mandrel bends. Reversion headers.
Trent following you guys everywhere. Like this new channel also. Hey speaking of following, maybe you should think of putting casters on your work table. Could that also double as your engine platform so you can lower cab and frame onto it? Just wondering if thst will work.
I've seen that jack and want it. My only issue is I don't wrench on vehicles and stuff as much as I used to. So I'm struggling trying to justify buying it. But I really really want one
Paint the metal with flux, and it will keep it from rusting until you’re ready to tack it on, and you won’t even have to clean off the flux unless it’s dirty with dust.
The headers will be just fine. In this context the adjective “cheap” is more about cost than quality. What is good enough to do the job was the objective. And, I have enough respect for Trent’s skill to believe he knows what that is.
Ummm didnt you have one stud/nut in the intake manifold that you need t get the right one??? Maybe I'm thinking of the oil pan but I could have sworn something was no exactly kosher on the intake. But I could be wrong.
What? They're 50/50 on everything. If Allie is cut on anything then I'm going to kick Trent's asshole and do some damage on him. They are UA-camrs and participate in van renovations. This channel I'm certain Allie is editing it and doing the footage . Trent's willing to build etc is his thing and he f's up all the time. You don't put a thousand screws in a single sheet of drywall. Doing everything on his own not only saves them $ but it's more content to make videos and make bank on YT payouts. Allie wears the pants in the family. Don't be fooled. She just still pretends she doesn't.
PS This channel is his hobby man. His fascination with trucks and doing drives This is his thing and I can only assume money he makes from this channel is buying the parts and labor cost
@@shac9131 lol! Trents hobbies are golf and skiing! This is one of his MANY jobs...building a home, building a garage, remodeling a rental property they bought and a custom build van business!! It just happens to be Trent loves his MANY JOBS and I couldn't be happier and proud of him, if he was my own son! Such a wonderful provider for his family!
@@charlene5461 He's stated it that it's a hobby and doesn't want a job as a mechanic. Now what the F is your problem with replying to me as you have??? Because I've been a follower for over a decade on their main channel. I only subbed here as a support
Hi Trent. Not trying to be a ass. I would of used anti- sieze on exhaust studs instead of lock tight. Maybe that's just me though. You're doing a great job job
Wouldn’t that be Hydraulic steering? Hydro would be water powered. 😁 Thus f try on a guy that has worked on hydraulic systems many years. Quite the project you are tackling. Can’t wait to see it in action. 😊
Wanted a smaller engine that was lighter and powerful enough for the job (especially after I supercharge it!) and also I wanted this build to be different. Everyone swaps LS’s into their rock crawler, I want this build to be unique

Trent’s Garage has a major sponsor already! Monetized and growing. And, he hasn’t even gotten to the really cool stuff yet.
Here's a tip. Your new jack has rubber bellows for lifting power, so when you're welding anything over or near the jack cover it with a fire resistant blanket. You don't want slag/hot sparks burning a hole through the bellows. Just a thought, it your garage.
Not a car guy but still enjoy watching. Thank you!
Little by little! Always forward!
I love this new channel of you doing stuff you love! Been watching your life unfold for years and i still cant wait for the next video!
Reminds me of watching Trucks!, Car and Driver, and Shadetree Mechanic on the weekends.
Let the sparks fly!
This crawler is going to be awesome! Can’t wait for the day you take “her” to Moab! Say goodbye jeep rental 😃
Happy Mother’s Day Allie,, hope you’re feeling better!
It is good to have my Trent and Allie fix three times a week now.And of course Brandon too.L O L.
I’m getting so much information and learning new things every time I watching your videos. Keep putting the great content out.
Happy Mothers Day Allie!
Awesome job today Trent. You re very knowledgeable.

Happy Mothers Day Allie!! Great video, as always! 💖🤗💖
It is so much fun and it's interesting to watch you do your magic with a welder and lots of tools Trent. Gene from Tennessee loving your show.

Paint it with "steelit" it is a weld through primer. It's GREAT! Can't wait need more truck less garage work! Keep it up looks awesome

Good job Trent and camera man! Good job...
I’m still very impressed by your welding skills 😊
Trent that’s so great that you were sent that fancy Jack ( I don’t know anything about what you’re doing) but I’m so happy for you!
Cool jack, that’s awesome. Great company to do that for you.
Happy for you 😊, see you, Allie and gang tomorrow morning.
At least I know what an axle is! The rest is Greek to me! Did you know the word “gusset” is also a sewing term? Now you do.I love watching this!!!
Trent, It's a good job you know what you are doing. You have become quite an expert at welding.
Best Wishes from Mike. 👍
🦋 Enjoy the show very much. Looks like you’re making a lot of progress. Have a great day!
You are the ULITMATE WARRIOR!!!
good man for taking the time to really think about your job at hand and how you can make it happen after thinking it out. Mark many times weld one time, taking your time.🤙

Allie, Happy Mother's day. You are such an amazing lady. You can see how loved Leo is. Have a wonderful week. ❤
thanks for the discount on the Vevor air jack, I just ordered one....
Damn Trent, that frontend is looking tough. I can invision how this rig will look.........AWESOME. Awesome job and continued success.
Hey Trent, when you put the supercharger on, get yourself a Tundra V8 oil filler neck. It’s shorter than the Tacoma one and it makes getting the oil cap on and off oil much easier.

From start to end…it was like white noise in my head, but enjoyable to watch! 😂👍🏻
Great work Trent. the ram welding looks good and tough to withstand anything you do with the truck.
Wicked! 😊

Great job bro👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏾💪🏾👍👍👍👍👍☕️☕️
judging from what I can see you have put a huge investment in tools for the shop, big bucks indeed at todays prices.
Thanks!
Thank you Tracy!! That’s very much appreciated!! 😊
For tapping stud holes you need a "bottom tap" it has no taper on the lead in, you can start your threads with a taper tap though. you're doing fine on your build.
Looks very nice. Just for giggles, try to pulling the diff cover before all welds are final.
Careful with air jack and weld spatter
The toolbox looks like a snack pantry!
It serves both purposes
Tell Allie Happy Mothers DAY
Trent is going full super mario🤣
Love me some SHAKE AND BAKE time!
Fun fact. The hydro cylinder doesn't have to be centered as long as you have enough stroke for full deflection the tie rods will make up the difference

👍👍
😊😊😊😊😊
keep ooon trent'n............
Question on the air jack - is there a safety to keep if from lowering when you're underneath the vehicle?
You have to open the valve to lower it, just like a regular jack.
How would you remove the differential cover off if you had to with the shield welded on the axel in front of the diff?
Look around 7:25 in the video frames. He has enough room to get at the bolts on the diff cover. Might need a uni joint on your wrench.
@@Sparkeycarp you might get the bolts out but will it get over the crown wheel ?
That plate in front of the axles is bolted on and it comes off. Then you can access your differential.
i like sea you work very interresting i am watching you
I've seen that jack and want it. My only issue is I don't wrench on vehicles and stuff as much as I used to. So I'm struggling trying to justify buying it. But I really really want one
Great job guys I know first hand on shipping cost
Paint the metal with flux, and it will keep it from rusting until you’re ready to tack it on, and you won’t even have to clean off the flux unless it’s dirty with dust.
Trent get your self some weld through primer it works great, also did you try high frequency pulse on your welder for the penetration welds ?
lol "this is just steering", perfect
Trent, so you require a special oil system when tackling the steep slopes. Will it drain the sump, and lose lubrication?
Trent’s excuse towel requested lol
Normally when you go cheap on headers, you pay for it on the back side. Get a good pair.
Yup bot some cheapest. Regretted it every time I was under the hood tightening the bolts...
..often
The headers will be just fine. In this context the adjective “cheap” is more about cost than quality. What is good enough to do the job was the objective. And, I have enough respect for Trent’s skill to believe he knows what that is.
I'm not through the video but I have a question. Do you put boots on each side of the ram like on a dirt bike?
you will break things you don't think will brake and have lots of down time, but look at it this way, your welding will really improve.
Ummm didnt you have one stud/nut in the intake manifold that you need t get the right one??? Maybe I'm thinking of the oil pan but I could have sworn something was no exactly kosher on the intake. But I could be wrong.
Trent is working soo hard to provide for his family..your a fantastic father 😊

Hi Trent. Not trying to be a ass. I would of used anti- sieze on exhaust studs instead of lock tight. Maybe that's just me though. You're doing a great job job
They do the opposite things though, right?
I put lock tight on the stud going into the head, not on the nut holding the headers on.
If you should ever get stumped you should contact Chris and Beck at lite Brite they are also in Utah they would great special guests
Wouldn’t that be Hydraulic steering? Hydro would be water powered. 😁 Thus f try on a guy that has worked on hydraulic systems many years.
Quite the project you are tackling. Can’t wait to see it in action. 😊
Did you upgrade the oil pump since it is accessible?
Yea I did

Love ya ally to
THE TOP CONTROL ARMS YOU TOOK DFF , SWITCH SIDES AND MOUNT INSTEAD OF THAT KIT.
Tap should be the same size as the nuts on the other end
Test every thing try every thing then tack check every thing then weld 😅😊
just buy some weld through primer from the store or online!!!!
Trent just curious. I’m a huge Toyota fan but kinda wondered why you didn’t do an LS swap.

the rig that your building will require some sort of repair, from minor to very major every time you take it out in the wild.

2:20 - I mean, it's only fitting that the holes are a hair out of square.
