I watched ur video this morning and by this afternoon I 90% finished my Tundra sliders. Tomorrow ill bend my tube to the 45° fit and weld out. You sir are the man 🤙🏽
@@RathaSochenda im going to have to steal your idea on printing a coping jig for tubing, its a lot more durable and accurate than a wrap around! Just an idea, your channel could become a great HUB for up and coming Engineers/Designers/Makers!
Lol go for it. Yeah it’s pretty accurate way. Never thought about this channel being a HUB for your designers. I’ll keep that in mind for future content that I make.
Just found your channel, super pumped to see what you do in the future. I hope your channel grows as you're producing extremely high quality content that more people need to see!
Man, I wish I had a whole shop too. I dont know how to make things, but I love learning and working with my hands. This would be a great project for my 4th gen 4Runner
8:10 As a welder, if I were you, I'd pull out a test plate and fiddle around with puddle manipulation. Just run some straight practice beads down a 4 to 8" long 1/8" plate (or 3/16" if you're worried about burning through). Try holding your gun still untill you get a good size puddle then move the gun quick enough to the edge of your puddle to start building up the next puddle. Or you can weave your gun from side to side making sure to spend roughly the same amount of time on the edges as you are moving across the middle of the weave. That way you're not compromising the strength of your welds with those fish eyes; and most importantly, they still look good.
Also, where did you learn to CAD? The addition of creating the 3D model really makes your designs come to life and gives your content and channel this extra special and entertaining aspect. Thanks for sharing!
@@RathaSochenda If you're looking for suggestions, I'd love to see some in depth videos of how you design in solidworks! How you go from an idea in your head to a dimensioned design on your computer.
You did a great job on the sliders, I don't have the high buck tools .only a lincoln210 welder, and a harbor freight pipe bender. I'm going to try it. Got honey do's first
Damn thats was a quality video. Throughly enjoyed it. Subscribed. Its my dream to do this these type of projects for my 4runner. I am a welder but i dont know how to cus round tubing. Just square tubing fabrication.
I love it helps a lot when you have to look up multiple references. Especially when I do my taxes I have to multiple windows up and when I video edit as well. I thought about going with one super wide 49” but have to look left and right vs up and down was deal breaker for my neck.
Sweet! Great attention to detail. Keep up the great content. I would love to learn some drafting/design skills like that! Those are some pretty cute kiddos!
Great build, not to hate on you or anything but for something that’s gonna be taking abuse you don’t want to do tacks to get a dime look on your welds. You don’t get proper penetration or fusion with the base metals and it’s prone to breaking under stress. You wanna run a straight bead if you can’t get consistent dimes you want by weaving. with a little practice it’s not hard to get a weave down that will stack dimes. But again not trying to hate and it was a great watch!
Just discovered you channel, great stuff. How do you keep your shop so clean?! lol. Am a former automotive designer I’m trying to get comfortable with welding sliders on my Sequoia.
Thanks. The secret is it’s only clean on camera. But aside from that i make it a standard to keep the shop clean every night no matter what project I’m working on. Yeah all I can say is what work for me was just practice/seat time and having a rhythm in my head as I welded to me be consistent.
It’s actually pretty easy. One way is to draw a sketch line. Dimension it 20 deg then do a and extruded surface. Now you can use that to surface to sketch on. Or draw your part then use the move rotate feature to turn the part 20 degrees. Hope that makes sense👍
Looking good buddy. I like the grip tape. I thought of bed liner on mine, but quickly nixed that idea as you drag your leg across them getting out of the jeep. Didn't think of the grip tape. Had you had issues with the wife dragging her legs on them getting out? Mine are due for a repaint and may have to add the grip tape.
Enjoyed the content and detailed description of your fabrication. Thumbs up and subscribed. Quick question about what CAD software you use and the cost?
Great video, I like the 3d printed template. A quick question for any Aussies watching, is it true we cannot weld to the chassis but can drill and bolt or would we have to use existing holes?
I think bolting to existing holes should be strong enough or drilling and then bolting would work. There are many applications out there that do the bolt on. I just welded it for maximum strength but it’s not totally necessary.
I almost never comment, but I will do whatever I can to bump your channel! I really like your content man, you got the right stuff!
Wow thank you so much I really appreciate it. And thanks again for commenting and rooting for this channel. ✊🏾🤙🏾
Awesome work!! So jealous!! Wish I can do these things to my LR4. Until then I'll just keep watching....
I watched ur video this morning and by this afternoon I 90% finished my Tundra sliders. Tomorrow ill bend my tube to the 45° fit and weld out. You sir are the man 🤙🏽
🦾
Starting to enter the world of metal fabs, and getting ideas from the stuffs you are creating, for my 3gen taco. Thanks so much.
Awesome!
I just found your page and I don’t know how it took so long you make everything simplified!
Glad you found me!
You Sir have what it takes to be in business for yourself and sell your items. You are so precise. Great job
Hopefully one day
As a drafting a design student that also loves cars...this channel is cool. Subbed!
Thanks. Glad to have you on board

How can welding look beautiful? Man you do it. Awesome thankyou
Thank you. I still got a long way to go
Man, I wish I had a whole shop too. I dont know how to make things, but I love learning and working with my hands. This would be a great project for my 4th gen 4Runner
Thanks! I started with one tool at a time the then eventually one thing lead to another. Now my home garage turned into a shop.
@@RathaSochenda I live out of my camper, so not really possible haha
😂 oh mybad

Great cinematography, editing and music makes a professional looking video! Great work in the shop as well, subscribed.
Thank you! I appreciate it
Good quality and editing loved it brotha
🤙🏾
Love your videos with how you incorporate your own CAD work into the fab.
Glad you notice the the details. Thanks 🙏🏽
Always 🔥🔥🔥 content keep this up man! You deserve all the subs..
Thanks Kyle I really appreciate it
Wow way to go man. This content is awesome. Love your rig as well! Keep it up!
Thanks glad you like it
Great job on those sliders, loved the kid part you have a beautiful family.
Thanks Keith🤙🏾. That’s probably my favorite part too

I learn CAD from my old job and UA-cam University 😂. Mainly it’s a lot of seat time. Thanks I’m glad it was entertaining thats the ultimate goal!
I like your measurement steps along the way.

How much was the solid works program?
@@brandonmarshall4694 I think you intended to ask Ratha Sochenda and not me.
Such a high quality video, wow
Man you have some serious design skills!! Just stumbled upon your channel and sub’d….gotta support my fellow PNW people!! GO HAWKS!
Thanks! Go hawks!
Cant Get Any Better Then That. Sweet Job! Looks Great!

Love your videos -- you do amazing work!
Thanks!
Eres el mejor, me inspiras! Saludos desde Perú
Well done! Can’t wait to see the next one! I would disconnect the battery ground and ECU plug when welding on the vehicle.
Thanks Derek!
Awesome man love it. Great Fabrication!
🙏🏽
Has esos mismos videos pero en Español, es un gran mercado, vas a subir como la espuma.
Very well done . You are a true craftsmen and great detail. I hope you continue to make informative how to"s.
I hope so too. Things have been busy. I’m hoping to crank out some more videos soon
You did a great job on the sliders, I don't have the high buck tools .only a lincoln210 welder, and a harbor freight pipe bender. I'm going to try it. Got honey do's first
You got a good start so far 🤙🏾
How did the harbor freight bender work out for you? Wanting to do the same.
Really good stuff man, digging all the content. Your shooting and editing style is inspiring
Appreciate it! That was my goal. To get people inspired!
You are talented, looking forward to the swing out tire carrier.
Thansk stay tune for that one to come
Just subscribed to your page man, your work is amazing !!!
🙏🏽
Dude that’s an amazing job
Thanks!
Dope video as always - love to see the process. Makes me wanna go make stuff!
Thanks glad you like this ☝️
Im willing to buy one if u make one for a tahoe 2002 i can sent u the brackets to weld on that locks into the chasis...
gorgeous work!
Thank you!
Looks great, Keep um coming.

How do you like your monitor setup, one on top of the other.
Going to setup a new workstation for the house and that looks really nice.

Nice video. I like the detail you take to do your fabrications 👍🏼
Thanks 🙏🏽
Another great vid! Are you going to make another one showing your SW model for each project?
Maybe… is that something you like or no?
@@RathaSochenda Heck ya! I'm looking to get better at SW
Cool maybe I’ll make some more SW in the near future
Nice Build. I'm About ready to build mine. Looking for a nice simple with good functionality build. Looks like I found it. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching. Glad you found it helpful
Man you have some really awesome tools!! And your work is nice and clean, well done 🤙
Thanks !
Great idea and looks store bought!
Appreciate it!
Nice work kid👍🏻
u do awesome work bro!!! out of curiosity how come u didnt flare the back of the slider?
Thanks. I was going for a clean and simple look.
Keep the videos coming mate I love it I’m a boilermaker by trade
Thanks! I’ll do my best!

Hi bro!!! You are amazing, I want to start my rock sliders project, your video was really helpful 😂, what tube or pipe are you using ? 2” ?
1.75”x.120 wall HREW tube
Hooo nice, looks amazing, I thought it was 2” thanks bro !!!! We need more videos like this

Hey
Are you able to elaborate more on how you did your kick back angle at 20 without a reference plane
I laid the round tube flat then lifted it up while using a digital protractor and angle finder until I got to 20 deg.
@@RathaSochenda im talking about in solidworks
It’s actually pretty easy. One way is to draw a sketch line. Dimension it 20 deg then do a and extruded surface. Now you can use that to surface to sketch on. Or draw your part then use the move rotate feature to turn the part 20 degrees. Hope that makes sense👍
@@RathaSochenda Thank You 😀
What thicknesses did you use for all the materials? I'm going to make my own rock sliders and I can't decide between 1/8" and 3/16"
1/8 for tube and 3/16 for plate that welded to frame
Looking good buddy. I like the grip tape. I thought of bed liner on mine, but quickly nixed that idea as you drag your leg across them getting out of the jeep. Didn't think of the grip tape. Had you had issues with the wife dragging her legs on them getting out?
Mine are due for a repaint and may have to add the grip tape.
No issues so far.
OUTSTANDING CONTENT AND WORK DONE BRO! YOU ROCK! AWESOME! NEW SUBSCRIBER........KUDOS TO YOU GREAT CHANNEL
Appreciate it
Very well done.
🙏🏽
So what would SolidWorks set me back? Very clean and good looking project!
Thanks. Try fusion360 if your new to CAD
Talented man!
Thanks
Beautiful work. Where you got that pipe bender, please send me their link i wanna buy their plan so I can make mine for my workshop.
Thanks. The tube bender is a JDsqaured one
Thx for the chill video. By any chance do you remember what settings you were using on your welder when you welded the sliders to the frame?
.030 wire D 4 setting I thing
Great job! What software are you using?
Thanks. I’m using only the best Solidworks 😂
Where did you get your square tubing and normal tubing?
Local metal supply warehouse
What’s the name and model of your welder? I’m looking to get into welding to make things like this for my Jeep.
It’s a Lincoln 180. Link is in the video description for more information on it
@@RathaSochenda thank you!
Anytime
Enjoyed the content and detailed description of your fabrication. Thumbs up and subscribed. Quick question about what CAD software you use and the cost?
I see now Solid works.!!
Top notch per usual 👏🏽
Thanks 🙏🏽
Good work bro 🤙 very clean
Thanks buddy!
When you weld on car frame,is it necessary to disconnect cables on car battery?
Yeah it’s good idea to disconnect it
Great content buddy....
Thanks
Great video! Definitely subscribing to the channel!
🙏🏽
Hi...how far down and out from the pinch weld does the 2x2 square tube sit? Looks like about a half inch?
Yessir 1/2”
Thank you
Awesome work!
Just so you know... It's not hard to get that dime look on a consistent bead.
Just turn down the wire speed.
Thanks. Man I’ll keep practicing ✊🏾
Nice clean work! Thanks for the great content!
Thanks 😊
Nice slider man! New sub here👌
Thanks. Glad you like it!
Está ficando cada vez melhor, vejo que tem comprado novos equipamentos.👏👏👏👏👏👏

Perfect work😍
Thanks
Nice work!
Thanks 🙏🏽
Complimenti bel lavoro 👍👏👏👏

awesome content man! Im curious what space mouse are you using while designing in solidworks?
3dconnex

I think bolting to existing holes should be strong enough or drilling and then bolting would work. There are many applications out there that do the bolt on. I just welded it for maximum strength but it’s not totally necessary.
I feel something like 2 plates one on each side of the rail with 4 holes and 4 bolts running through each should attach it nicely
Good job man, this looks great!
How do you manage getting any DIY work done with two kids? It's almost impossible for me with two kids...
Thanks. I got a great wife and in-laws help out a lot.
What is the diameter of the steel pipes used? What wall strength?
1.75 OD x 1/8 wall
How many space did you left between the body and the rock sliders?
1/2"
Lookin sick!! Did you add that air ram to your bender??
Thanks. Yessir using the one from swag off road.
Great work
Thank you!
Ratha, do you have the 3D print file for the coping jig? Thanks!
Let me dig for it I’m not sure been awhile
Great work, hey that’s not cheating, that’s a gig that others wish they had, lol.
Thanks 😊
Nicely done brother
Thanks brotha!
I will like see your setup pc in a video!!!!!
Thanks I’ll maybe make a video in the near future
What cad system do you use to draw with thank awesome chann
Solidworks 👍
