    Good stuff Nate, I am a commercial builder that has now been bit by the offroad bug. I did the full D30 build on my axle, included artec truss, Gussets and JJ's along with re gearing and some help from Muddy on pinion depth and backlash for the bearing replacement. Now I'm going to tackle the 3 link. 2000 XJ, ford 9 rear, D30 HP front, 4.88's and ARB's on 35's. I have officially been consumed! (According to my wife) lol. Thanks for the videos, they have been great 🤙

    This is gonna be a build series I watch several times. You put out so much information and knowledge into each video. Someone that's never built anything in their life could watch your videos and be encouraged, enlightened, and inspired by them enough to go out and start creating something of their own. Something they could proudly stand by and say "yes, I built that."

    Just an idea for your skid, where you t case drain is located, drill and have your dimpled material face down so it doesn't trap oil up in there. Also you might throw a couple more facing down as to give rocks and dirt a way to fall out easily.

The way your working through the process makes it not Jeep specific which helps us guys that aren't Jeepers. Looking forward to working my way through the rest of your videos.

      I'm a big fan of multiprocess welders like this Miller multimatic 220. I had a cheap catalog multiprocess welder before and it definitely did the job. It was around 800 bucks. This welder is around 3k but you definitely get what you pay for. I would say the catalog welder is like a 5 or a 10 year welder but the multimatic is a lifetime welder. 🤘 good luck!

    Nate I love your videos. It looks like you have a lot of mounting holes for this skid plate. How are you bolting it to the Jeep? My skid plate on my TJ has I think 6 holes and 2 of the nuts in the frame are stripped. I don't think I trust nutserts. The only thing I can think to do is to chop a hole in the frame and replace the nuts with new ones and weld the holes back up. Is that a bad idea? I don't want to compromise the strength of the frame. Do you have a better option for me? Thanks :D

    • @DirtLifestyle
      @DirtLifestyle  5 років тому +1

      They have a weldable nutsert. You drill out what you have now and weld the new one in. I'm mounted to the factory holes plus two 5/8" bolts mounted through the frame on both sides. 5 bolts on each side in total 👍

      I can't believe I forgot to talk about this. I'll definitely address it in the next video. Because the dimple concaves into the vehicle its actually pretty slippery! But again if it's a problem, I'll just build another one! I'm all about experimentation 👍

      @@DirtLifestyle yeah that makes sense. I want to plate the sides of my full-size cherokee from the sliders to the frame but was worried about the weight. The dimpled holes would definitely cut the weight, and would get hung up less than the horizontal bracing to the frame. I know you addressed in in a previous bleepin jeep video, but where did you get your dies?

Do you know if on a 4.0 it’s still best to go on the drivers side for the upper ca? The exhaust is in the way on the pass side. I’m using a Barnes Dana 60 truss for my 06 sd 60 I’m swapping in. Using 1-1/4” heim three link kit from Barnes the upper frame mount is very similar to the one you used.

      I’ve seen some do it both ways. Just wanting your advise and reasons. I’ve found conflicting information on the webs and I’m trying to figure out what I need to to do.

    So what are the results from the 1/8" skid plates? Thick enough?

    • @CustomJeep
      @CustomJeep Рік тому

      Not thick enough. 3/16" minimum.

    is there an episode where you do an exhaust for the 3link rear suspension?

    I haven’t been following your channel very long but the videos I have seen are awesome man I love that you explain everything you do and why you do it it really helps people learn. What welder are you using btw? i’m looking to upgrade and want to be able to do mig tig and i also want a plasma cutter. any recommendations?

      Thanks man! Glad your enjoying the videos. I use a Miller multimatic 220. It's kind of pricey but very much worth it for the capability. I'm a big fan of multi process machines and this is by far the easiest one I've used. The only thing I wish it had is a plasma cutter built in. It would be sweet to have one machine that could weld and cut. Other then that its top notch 👍

    Any reason you didnt try to do a belly up skid plate?

    • @DirtLifestyle
      @DirtLifestyle  5 років тому +1

      Yes sir, the 4speed atlas t-case is huge! Not alot of options with it other than cutting out the floor and building around it. Even then I dont want to raise the driver seat to accommodate the tcase

    Was overhead welding on my TJ a month ago and a spark got around my hood and safety squints landed on the bottom eyelid edge. Looks like a sty. Dirt life sty I'm guessing! LOL.

      Ok at best. For all the trail riding its been great! Very tough! But two trips to Johnson Valley and a few very difficult rock gardens in Washington and it looks pretty ugly. I need a new design. I will definitely build it on the channel. I'm thinking about adding another couple episodes to the Tj stretch series with some updates 👍

  • @Hellguy76131

    So does the stretch mean you’re going back to Moab and try the escalator/hot tub again? Can’t let those old Army Jeeps outdo you. 😎
