I'm writing to you in my official capacity as UA-cam Expert, North Texas District. Qualifications can be provided, but are not to include any relevant work experience, trade craft, professional maintenance or proximity to the aforementioned, as my background contains no such activities. Can't you just turn that lift around, so that the controls will be on what you consider to be the correct side?
I don't understand why sets like that and Silver and Deming drills are nominal sizes like that. If you drill for reaming or tapping, you need smaller. If you're drilling for through bolts, you want 1/32 clearance.
Question: Is that lift being so close to the door going to impede your ability to fit a Class C motorhome inside the shop? Planning our next road trip so…
I need these exact mods to my Kubota UTV. I'm mostly paralyzed from the chest down, but can stand/walk with lots of assistance/support from a walker or other grab bars, so getting into the kubota would be WAY easier with these mods. Not everyone uses a UTV to go 300 miles per hour and take jumps/climb over fallen trees.
Arilus cristatus, also known as the North American wheel bug or simply wheel bug, is a large assassin bug that preys on caterpillars and beetles. It has a wheel-shaped pronotal armor, a long proboscis, and can produce a noisy flight and a foul odor. Watch out, they can give a painful bite....
Wes, Good day, 2" receiver rattle: I cut a 2" wide strip out of a gallon antifreeze jug front middle to back. Push into receiver so that it wraps top, back, and bottom of hitch. Works great!
starts as a 9" disk on the big grinder, then gets demoted to a 5" disk after enough use, then when it cant reach past the 5" grinder it becomes a 3" cutoff tool disk
I swear my dad even keeps the little nubs that wont fit on a 5", not to mention using ones that have chips taken out of them with the strings flopping around like "oh it doesn't cut that well but it still works so I can't throw that away"
I guess one advantage of putting the lift in that location is it means that the big rigs will no longer fit in your shop (especially if the 'long term project area' is occupied. so I guess that means we definitely won't be seeing any more municipal plow trucks. I will miss the occasional big rig or the army truck that you worked on. those were great videos. glad you sorted the slab out before it cracked under your feet.
@@daleolson3506 Yeah, these are just like the 50cc scooters or 150cc scooters you see. All very generic patterned Chinese stuff. Sometimes, it comes in useful for replacing stuff actually.
Well sir, I for one will not chastise you for what you do, how you do it, or who you do it for, because I harvest some really unique ideas from the channel that I use with slight modifications or straight up, or sparks ideas for a project I have coming up. I also get quite the education from time to time on how things function, which helps also. I also like your shop layout out, makes sense to me knowing full well it will evolve with use. Thanks for the update, as always enjoyed watching.5
If you weld a nut inside the hitch, you can replace the hitch pin with a long bolt. The bolt will tighten the hitch against the receiver and if it's long enough, you can still drill a hole and put a cotter pin though it.
Pro tipp: pull the step out of the reciever, a few tack welds on the tube and grind it down until it fits nice and snug in the reciever. To remove the surfiness.
I saw a news story about a town in Alberta (Millet I think)that uses an electric model A style vehicle that they use to shuttle their elderly people around town.
I built myself some frame mounted steps that utilize receiver tubes like that about 8 years ago. My old F-250 is lifted a bit and on 37" tires, and I didn't want to sacrifice ground clearance when I went wheeling. I just throw them in the toolbox when I take them off.
Excellent presentation. Thank you. My 1UP bicycle rack has an expanding mechanism to secure it when you place it into the receiver. It is really amazing and tightens things up so that they are solid with zero rattles. This application looks like it would be perfect for something similar.
Sorry for your pain. I recall an air-arc injury I had in 1977. I was cutting a scrap steel magnet to the root weld so it could be rebuilt and since I had a hole in the inside elbow of the shop leathers, I grabbed it and turned it. That made a real nice funnel to the inside of my glove. Molten steel ran down the ditch and into my glove. It burned a perfect JL onto my wrist. I can still see the burn though it's almost imperceptible now. I must have thrown that glove 20ft. I love your content, Wes, and don't miss an episode. Thank you, and Carry On.
I watch you and I DO Cars and I am so glad that when I worked on cars it was in the 1960's .These new engines look to be a pinta to work on . I have a 2005 cast iron engine and would not even want one of the new engines . I like your stuff :)
That missing handle is all about the bare minimum for reducing the chance of head injury. Passengers are allowed to hit their heads because that seat isn't always filled, and one presumes they'll be keeping their noggins back, while said driver will be swinging said noggin about whilst driving. In actual fact, these vehicles are basically head injury factories and I promise you the manual says you must wear a helmet while being anywhere inside it.
Most cars don't have a handle on the drivers side. I don't know the reason for that, but I would guess that the same reason applies to this side by side.
Admonishment 482: I guess the customer doesn't use Google or Amazon much. There are grab handles for UTV's for $12.99 + 5% discount on Amazon. And 1000 variations of bolt on steps. Or since it's so cheap I'd just cut a chunk out of the side plastic as it won't impact resale value. I'm gathering they are "older" so won't be doing much deep water driving where the missing chunk of plastic would matter much. You are a patient man, much mor than will ever be.
Those vents are for future mice condos. My grandson immediately asks to see Max when he sees me watching your videos.(He's 5) Wish I could remember that well, haha.
Thanks a lot Wes. I swore I wouldn’t buy any tools for at least two weeks and you had to mention the RotaCutter line. I need intervention because my wife is going to kill me if I purchase anymore tools this month.
Thank You, Wes! I always like information on new tools that really work. Especially with drilling. And if you recommend it, we know it's good. 😊 (I am assuming it is new. 😕)
Polaris anything aren't any better, probably worse than JD. About the only ones that seem to hold up around here are Honda, Kawasaki, and Kubota. Not really sure if the Mahindra Roxor counts, but they can take some abuse. I was at an event a few weeks ago and they had several rented Roxors in the mix to help shuttle and people and I felt so bad for their transmissions. Almost every one was being driven by a teenage volunteer who had no idea how to drive a stick.
@@Noah_EI never really understood the fascination with them, outside of the truly offroad oriented ones. If I need one for working the ranch I'll buy an old and cheap S10 or Ranger and take the doors off. It'll more than likely last longer and actually be repairable.

@@Noah_E I'm glad you know how to drive, As I take it you're in N/America? As here (UK) along with most other places, about 98% of all vehicles from cars, and gators, to trucks and tractors mostly have manual gearboxes (transmissions), Which is probably why when you take your driving test in an auto you then can't even drive a manual as your licence will be restricted to only autos, Whenever visiting family in N/America, Canada Its truly amazing seeing people struggling with clutches while pulling away and having to use the brakes much more going down hills Instead of using engine braking.
Another Great Video, Wes. As long as your customer is happy, that’s all that matters. Probably an older farmer that figured everything out, just needed someone to stick it together. Most of the time they are pretty set on how they want it done. The shop is looking nice. Thanks for the videos.
I’m only at 5:43 but I’m already seeing the benefits of your shop overhaul. Everything you needed so far was within a few steps and all the dirty work stayed in the one corner. Well done!
On those shop air lines, I installed some intentional low points along the line with ball valves on the bottom to collect and blow out all the condensation. I was surprised how much water collected in them after just a few months.
Holding up as the (most looked forward to new episode channel) on UA-cam. Do you ever get comments from customers about the comments you make about their vehicles? I'm thinking you're very appreciated in your community.
@WatchWesWork So, what were the customer comments like for that trash truck... you know the one with the clapped out suspension and sketchy wiring and frozen cooling fan? Is it still on the road? Banned from ever returning? Lol.❤
Nice little project. Could have added a set screw with lock nut into the side of the receiver to jamb against the draw-bar and keep it from rattling. I always do that to bike racks on the back of my RV. Nice job welding the thin metal parts.
Good luck with your shop organization madness! Mine begins next month when I move out of our home's 244 sq ft garage into my new 768 sq ft backyard shop. Thanksfor sharing!
Less than 2 minutes in and the shop feels huuuge now 😊 and it is not the wittle sbs. Thanks for the channel - I appreciate how much work these vids are to put together.
Just a suggestion. Add a water drop or a small reservoir to the long runs of your air lines. Helps keep the moisture from getting in the tools. Great seeing the upgrades! Cheers

Hey Wes 👋, thanks for the video. Shop is looking better. Always good to see what your doing around the shop. Thanks again for the video, have a great weekend ✌️
Hi Wes, I heard you say something about the side the controls were on for your new lift. A nice thing about having the controls on the right side of the lift is, you drive the vehicle in, you get out set the lift arms on the drivers side walk around to the passenger side and set the lift and you're ready to lift the controls re right there. There's no need to walk back over to the drivers side to run the lift. Same thing when you let the vehicle down. Raise the lift up a bit, release the locks, let it down, kick the arms out from the passengers side, walk around to the drivers side, kick the arms out get in and drive it out. I worked 26 years on a twin post similar to yours and it never bothered me. Awesome job on the side by side. The old saying of mess with the ram you get the horn, maybe it's time for the owner to get rid of the Dodge Ram and pick up a Big Horn.
Wes…Like she said, “It needs 2 Cup Holders”! I say, “It needs a Windshield and a Gun Rack”. That Battery compartment would be a good place for a Mouse nest!!
Love what you have done with the place. Ya can't see the short air supply line from my house, so that is taken care of. It looks fantastic! You'll have it full of clutter in no time, so don't stress out over the small details.
It's been a long time since I've seen any vehicle on your lift. I would bet any money that the slab was poured in the winter when the dirt was frozen. When the concrete was curing, and generating heat, the dirt thawed and settled.
Yep. That even happened with the Boxster when they first came out. And I was one of the complainenrs when I bought one. 😂 25 years later, I still have it and I am still annoyed. 🤣
Hi, just found your channel. You were cleaning up your shop. You mentioned all of the things you were doing, and I found that intriguing. And then you mentioned that it was as cramped as a submarine. I spent 350 days beneath the waves in a submarine. 4 lovely med cruises and one trans-Atlantic. The sub I was on had 2 crews, so we would trade off every few months. I noticed that every time the other crew brought it back, it was smaller!
I absolutely love the idea of taking off the shelf items and using them for this procedure. I would have made two attachment points, maybe the customer will shim up the hitch and none the wiser since that hitch is enough to take the weight of any person.
Wes, I just watched your "Dream Shop" video from five years ago. You were a little happier with it back then than you are now. Shops are like women's purses. Its never big enough and its always full to the rim.
lol, devorative vents... maybe a vented air from the outside, like the old car scoops? but with no windshield it doesn't make sense And your wife does the same thing mine does, the second you proudly finish something she immediately finds a flaw.
I love these things for cutting thin metal!

You need to buy another one just so Wes has something to fix.
I'm pretty sure one of Wes's rules are "No boats or motorhomes" if my memory serves me right 😀
@@pernillenielsen8083IIRC he mentioned that rule during a video working on a motorhome.
So I guess it's more of a guideline than a rule.

Thank you, Wes, for demonstrating that I'm not the only one that will use a cut off disk until it no longer reaches beyond the edge of the tool!
They're too expensive to waste!
starts as a 9" disk on the big grinder, then gets demoted to a 5" disk after enough use, then when it cant reach past the 5" grinder it becomes a 3" cutoff tool disk

Cvt belt drive, like a golf cart.... or a Nissan, but I repeat myself...
Like a snowmobile...
Don't buy the Nissan gearbox costs more than car is worth when it blows up
Wes, when he brings that back in for mechanical repairs, just fake a heart attack and lock the door !!!!
I guess one advantage of putting the lift in that location is it means that the big rigs will no longer fit in your shop (especially if the 'long term project area' is occupied. so I guess that means we definitely won't be seeing any more municipal plow trucks.
I will miss the occasional big rig or the army truck that you worked on. those were great videos.
glad you sorted the slab out before it cracked under your feet.
They will drive through the lift as long as they are not too tall. I've already tested it.
Maybe a return of the “Hi Mom” signs on plow trucks!
A year from now those mods will prove to be the most durable part of that POS.
They just took the Polaris badge off and put bighorn.

You are an excellent problem solver. Thanks for the education and keep up the good work.
Tune in next week when the client complains about the constant rattle from the step while off-roading. LOL
👍👌👏😁😁😁 Exactly what I thought instantly too!
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Can put an anti rattle hitch pin that tightens drawbar to receiver. I have them on all attachments for my drawbars.

Who cares. The thing sounds like a tractor. I could see if he was installing it on a new Lincoln. Then it would matter either.
I'll be back.....
Well at least you know what Mrs Wes wants fir Christmas time now!

In other words, they're politicians.

In Rhode Island we call them stink bugs when you squish them they smell awful

When they bite, they leave a hard, itchy, painful welt that last a few weeks. If you smash it, the stench will make you wish you hadn't.

A nice thing about having the controls on the right side of the lift is, you drive the vehicle in, you get out set the lift arms on the drivers side walk around to the passenger side and set the lift and you're ready to lift the controls re right there. There's no need to walk back over to the drivers side to run the lift. Same thing when you let the vehicle down. Raise the lift up a bit, release the locks, let it down, kick the arms out from the passengers side, walk around to the drivers side, kick the arms out get in and drive it out. I worked 26 years on a twin post similar to yours and it never bothered me. Awesome job on the side by side. The old saying of mess with the ram you get the horn, maybe it's time for the owner to get rid of the Dodge Ram and pick up a Big Horn.
Cool stuff all around. Howdy @Mrs Wes
Wes…Like she said, “It needs 2 Cup Holders”! I say, “It needs a Windshield and a Gun Rack”. That Battery compartment would be a good place for a Mouse nest!!
Should have used a WIX filter box for a template instead of that Fram one. 😉 😂😂😂😂
Now the frame rail's gonna blow up!
That bug was disgusting. Liked the bolt hole cutter. Always good to find new tools.
The bug is Arilus cristatus, or the North American Wheel Bug. They eat insects not humans.
Love what you have done with the place. Ya can't see the short air supply line from my house, so that is taken care of. It looks fantastic! You'll have it full of clutter in no time, so don't stress out over the small details.
Two points make a line. She's a peach.
TPDL, said my high school math teacher. Two points determine a line.
Three points make a plane.

It's been a long time since I've seen any vehicle on your lift. I would bet any money that the slab was poured in the winter when the dirt was frozen. When the concrete was curing, and generating heat, the dirt thawed and settled.
Hard to say. Poor compaction. Poor quality fill. Erosion. Animals. Could be any or all.
At 24.24 min: Oh WOW! An extremely rare forklift bug! I thought that they're extinct. 😁 ;-)
👍Your new shop configuration is a winner. Great upgrade to your working environment. Bet you are getting more done in less time.
Hours of planning, drawing and manufacture. Critic says: "Where's the cup holder?" 😐
Cup holders are important.
I think I noticed a cup holder in the center console seat. Just needed flipped down. One of the dash would be nice though.
The new lift seemed to have no less than three cup holders.
Yep. That even happened with the Boxster when they first came out. And I was one of the complainenrs when I bought one. 😂 25 years later, I still have it and I am still annoyed. 🤣
If there is a cup holder you'll never be able to say "hold my beer" to your buddies
Tell Mrs. Wes the cup holder is on the center console that folds down! I noticed it when you were putting the bar on the back. 😂
Those steps look like they could catch on a tree or post and fling you into next Tuesday.
Yes but as my old boss used to say, “speed compensates”, at 45mph it won’t catch for long😂
Hi, just found your channel. You were cleaning up your shop. You mentioned all of the things you were doing, and I found that intriguing. And then you mentioned that it was as cramped as a submarine. I spent 350 days beneath the waves in a submarine. 4 lovely med cruises and one trans-Atlantic. The sub I was on had 2 crews, so we would trade off every few months. I noticed that every time the other crew brought it back, it was smaller!
Is the floor good under your vehicle lift? Hope so!!!
Yes. It's one of the two good spots in the floor.
Even next to the drain?
@@WatchWesWork So you can now draw a line. Sweet! 😁 😁
"Cup holders" on the ramp pillar...a definite win for me 😉
Looks like a type of stink bug Wes. Great video thumbs up. "Two points make a line." I think I'll make a sign and put that up on the wall of my shop.
Math teacher comment from Mrs Wes
I absolutely love the idea of taking off the shelf items and using them for this procedure. I would have made two attachment points, maybe the customer will shim up the hitch and none the wiser since that hitch is enough to take the weight of any person.
I gave my lady a UTV once. That’s what she claimed anyway. Plenty of cranberry juice and she ran like new after a few days….
You lady _runs_ on Cranberry juice? Don't we all if we have too much. 🤦♂
@@josephking6515 Cranberry juice and vodka! 🍹
Wes, I just watched your "Dream Shop" video from five years ago. You were a little happier with it back then than you are now. Shops are like women's purses. Its never big enough and its always full to the rim.
lol, devorative vents... maybe a vented air from the outside, like the old car scoops? but with no windshield it doesn't make sense
And your wife does the same thing mine does, the second you proudly finish something she immediately finds a flaw.
Probably there for an optional heater or something? A look up under the dash might explain them.
probably the higher spec models use the vents, but to save money they only use one dash for all models.
Wes thanks for the work on the side by side as the better half loves it
"Injured by safety", hum... Negative, you're supposed to wear longer, proper welding gauntlets, not the wifes gardening gloves when welding...🤣🤣
You did a great job setting up your shop Wes ,it looks like everything is accessible ….
".....tell China" comedy gold!
