I'm glad to see you're still running the 6.2❤
Hell yeah. I love these engines
I love how people when they have Dana 44 or corporate 10 bolts throw off on them and say you need one tons but when you own a Jeep and you have a dana 30,35 they all say, oh you need Dana 44's you need to do the upgrade to dana 44's because the dana 30, and 35 are no good. Ive wheeled corporate 10 bolts, Dana 44 and the 30s and Dana 35 and I've had no problem out of any of them. So why i hear people talking all the hype about 1 tons it's just a personal preference! It's like who has the biggest most expensive gun or the loudest exhaust or the loudest sound system, it's all an ego, bragging rights thing! But opinions are like buttholes everyone has one....
Well I’ll tell you that everything is breakable if your hard enough on it hahah
That’s an amazing wheeling project, tires look a bit bald.
Thanks. There fun countries. Probably about 40-50% tread.
I think the B52 kit is a diy4x product.
I think your right I believe I misspoke
Dude sounds like a nascar driver,,,,plugging all the sponsors
HahHa just giving respect where it’s due. None of them sponsor me.
Badass rig. I have an 83 jimmy k5 I pulled out a field been working on it for the past 9 months all stock at the moment
Hell yeah man. That’s awesome. I love this thing. I’ll probably keep building it the rest of my life
I graduated from H/S in 81, and my grandparents gifted me a new K-5 diesel 4 in the floor lock out hubs. Farmers/Ranchers are used to utilising farm diesel, so they gave it to me with GM diesel & shopbuilt front brush guard w/P to winch, you could stand inside the front brush guard to change the fuel filters. Rear farm bumper had a tow receiver, so I could pull any level farm trailer from cotton seed hull trailer, nursing tank, 1000 gl diesel, hay, cattle trailer 5th wheel for pulling a gooseneck trailer with Dolly. Manual locks & windows include rear gate glass. I had a 6” Rough Country 3” body lift 40” Monster Mudders by Gateway with 15X12.5 wagon wheel aluminum rims. I also had a 12K Ramsey electric winch in rear & 4:11 & lockers ft & rear stock axles, constant velocity U-Joints. 4 KC lights on top & 2 on brush guard & 2 Amber KC lights under brushguard. LEDs did not exist back then, but I also had 2 JD tractor flood lights integrated into rear bumper. I was a freshman in college & had all the chicks at college,merely because of that K-5 farm-mudder😂
That’s awesome man. Love how much these trucks bring people together.
Got your goat, you're good man just pulling your wings!
Forgot, Alpine cassette & Alpine bass, midway, tweeters.❤😂
No cassette hahaha media player hahahs
5:34 gives the rig character, thats the bright side.
Yes sir.
Now that's a truck 😃👍
Born in the same year as me.
Hell yeah. Thank you.
Looks sweet sitting relatively low on those big tires.
Thank you. I try to keep my center of gravity low. It had a lot of down travel in suspension. Not a lot of up travel
Air lockers, perhaps in the future?
Sorry I didn’t specify. I would love to do air lockers or e lockers eventually but for right now I have welded front. And g80 gov loc rear. 4.56 gears. I will be going 5.38s with lockers at some point.
What's up from Utah. I have a 2011 Chevy Avalanche that sits on 35s I just got last April, so going on a year. I also have a 500 cfmoto that I drive the most lol. That's fun in the snow, but my truck scares me in the snow. 😊😮. Hardly any snow here in Eastern Utah
Awesome man. Sucks not much snow though
@@TheBlazinBiddles yeah, but there is always that next storm, right 👍👍. Lol have fun be safe 😁😁.
@@johnnyfercik2455 thank you 🙏
Loved this walk around
Thank you I really appreciate that.
Man I would have some 17/40 ground hawgs on that. Of course you gotta cut em! Back when they made tires, not rubber bands that don’t grip! Love it bro. Cant find em like that in Fl anymore. All rusted out or super expensive show trucks. You can keep that damn cold and snow though. And Im from Fairbanks, Alaska! Don’t like it cold anymore! Good luck with her brother. She’s sweet!the banks podcast really really good information about the 6.2. Check it out if you haven’t.
I will man thanks
what happened to your PRIUS?
Hahaha
Must have misplaced it. You
Know
How those things are
UGH
Yes
Nice, thanks for showing.
What would you say, how much do you miss rear lockers?
I most deffinately need one. The posi works but nothing like a locker. I’d really like an e locker or air locker.
Axle Gear ratio?
4.56s for now. Works good with the diesel but I will go 5.38s as soon as I can
I want one😢
Thank you. I absolutely love this thing.
Shoot I'd like to have some wood work
Done. Suzuki samurai 88-1/2 dash square vents. Maybe spring time a dash face, door panels kick panels,back rear wheel arch inside body, tailgate inside panel. If your still doing anything like that few months. Get some coins saved up.
Hell yeah man. I love doing wood work. Had my own audio company for a while just ran out of work. Email me and I’ll give you my contact info. Jbvwmazda@gmail.com
@@TheBlazinBiddles ok get with you evening or in morning try get out now while not raining
What size axles?
Dana 60 front. And corporate 14 rear. I believe the front axles are the stock 30 splines.
Corporate rear? I'm merely a farmer/rancher, never heard of that axle. The 60 yes😊
Just a 14bolt full float. 10.5” ring gear.
Needs a CK5 sticker, adds 15 HP
Hell yeah. Send me one. I could use more hp
@@TheBlazinBiddles send me your address
Nice build! love it!
Thank you. Much appreciated
This thing is badass!
Thanks man. I appreciate the hell out of that. Probably hundreds if not thousand hours in this thing over the lst 5 years
Found them! Lol
Hell yeah. Hope you like em
I love these
Thank you. I’ll keep them coming. We’re going up
Again this weekend. New video will be released Tuesday
Not heavy enough, tires are too wide. It's just gonna sit on top and spin
It does do that some times. That’s for sure. I will be getting different tires next time. Maybe some Baja pros. Not sure yet though
Weighs 8000#'s ...how much do you think it needs to weigh there fella?? 😂
@@markelrod814 truuuueeeeee
@@markelrod814it's weight by contact patch. I know it looks cool and is fun but those ballon tires bounce and don't bite if you got smaller tires half the width with some teeth it would dig in
A very good start but certainly not an "Ultimate Offroad Machine":
No rear spring bump stops.
You WILL rip the rear lower shock mounts off in the rocks.
Say goodbye to the stock brake light lenses (need protection).
It will be a tippy bastard, a tad too much lift and tire.
Too much tire for those 15's, the sidewalls will be VERY vulnerable and the front inner u-joints will be a weak link.
Front springs look "weird", there is a compression bend that will limit articulation.
Needs sliders to protect the rocker panels.
Need OBA (ALL 4WDs NEED OBA)
Didn't mention if the front was locked, it will be necessary if even just a Detroit, selectable is preferred.
Just spool or Lincoln-lock the rear or use a selectable if driving on snow/ice (that rig will be TERRIBLE in the snow, regardless).
Gear ratio is WAY too steep for those tires AND engine. I would be surprised if it will do 55 mph (not a deal breaker but the lower (numerically) the axle ratio the more you move the damage further into the drive-train). Trust me, it's easier to carry a spare axle than a spare chain-driven t-case that is in your rig currently).
Very few achieve the ultimate offroad machine, as it will be FOREVER evolving. And to note: if you sell it, prepare to take a bath. More profitable to sell it for parts. BTDT...
I appreciate the input. It is ever evolving. It will not be sold. Ever. End of story. There’s way too much behind the meaning of This to my family and I. Front is spooled currently. The longer I have it the better and better it will get. The front springs have been replaced since I made this video as well as adding rear bumps. It does absolutely amazing in the snow. At least where I’m at and these are my winter tires. I don’t do much rock crawling or much summer wheeling at all for that matter and with the 6.2 diesel turbod and the current gearing on the 44s it gets about 16 mpg and will do 65 easily. Can do 70 but gets a little unstable above that speed.
Get a life
Also, post a video of your truck to set the example
And you spent 5 years chopping the shit out of it, its clapped!
Just the way I like it
