Hey my lovelies,
This weekend was a fight lol the way but managed to get half of the strengthening done to the unibody!
Still feel good about this and really looking forward to telling you in detail my plans on why I'm making the unibody stronger and showing you the design plan for everything.
Thanks for watching

Hey Holly one thing you might want to check. Coming from a guy that uses a welder and plasma cutter EVERY SINGLE DAY in a shop lol..one thing I've learned this time of year is, "FAN PLACEMENT ".. be sure to pay attention to where you set fans because if they are blowing anywhere near where your cutting or welding they can affect it tremendously!! If your welding it can blow your shielding gas away.. and if your cutting it can cause interference with your cut.. might not be your problem but it could be 😅
I think all small business people need to hear this. 1 of the best things I learned with mudding drywall knowing when to stop" take it back, get a refund, exchange the tool, talk with others business owners, crowd source "
Boy! You are learning so much. It seems troubleshooting teaches valuable lessons. Sometimes I call it tuition. In the end Hollie will be Valedictorian of the class!
On your voltages for the welder you need to check across the hot leads. Also check for good connections on all the wires (outlet side and at the breaker box but leave the breaker box for a licensed electrician). Another thought, since you were checking volts on a Sunday, there may not have been as much load on your electric company (other users off line). Good luck.
Yes, check across both hots, it should be 235-250V. You should also test under load. Hook the tester up and actually do a test weld to see the drop. Also, I don't think ground should be bonded in a commercial building (because I think they're all subs which aren't supposed to be bonded). Test ohms from neutral to ground and there shouldn't be continuity.
I always enjoy your music selections Holly! They reflect your musical background and wide taste in music.
Welder and Walter. Two of the most important things for Holly Cheers from Canada
Love the double safety glasses at 12:03 :D super duper safe
Now, that i heard what you said. You need to check the voltage. If the outlet is not putting out enough. The plasma will shut down. Do you have enough Amperage? He checked voltage. Big difference.
Lovin' the music.
A little tip when it comes to welding unibody stiffeners on jeeps is the metal is galvanized or zinc coated or something like that and you need to remove the coating or you get nasty welds that have yellowy or white scum around also the smoke is toxic when welding that stuff. If you pay close attention you can tell a slight color difference when you get through the coating to clean metal. Just something to note if you run into that kind of thing.
Best of luck Holly at least you still have some time to get the jeep done. Just hope all the ghosts in the machines get exercised soon.
For the welder, I would look into the switch circuit. It typically continues flowing gas after you let off, so maybe the switch works as you are pulling it in, but at full finger pull it is opening back up.
remember CORDED TOOLS are your friend, Cordless tools are nice for out of the shop needs ,when you finally get used to using that 7 in. Grinder with a real grinding disc (not a flap disc) nobody will be able to keep up with you and you will wonder why you are getting so much more done, keep up the good work love the channel 👍
Really like the cover music. Opera one time and jazz the next Golly! Just the perfect match to the chaos and fubar
Sucks to have good plans and lots of help but then suffer equipment trouble. Still pushing in through it tho and keeping that awesome smile! I am sure you will have it all figured out in no time. Keep up the awesome content and thank you for sharing
This work on the Liberty is very interesting. I am excited to see the chassis work finished. I will follow your videos so I can learn more every day, guys.
Like the new music genre. Have a playlist with similar jams.
and it works fantastic to the metle prep tool

Weld through primer would help. All the metal that you stripped down, spray weld through primer on it, turn the heat up slightly higher than you normally would and burn it in. Prevents rusting and helps the metal weld better. I dont use gas. I use flux core and it penetrates better. Doesnt look as pretty and its alot slower, but deeper welds equal stronger welds
When checking voltage you can be deceived by good voltage readings when there is no load so its best practice to check with no load and then with a load on the receptacle to see if your getting a severe voltage drop under load. If there is a voltage drop under load it can be anything from a failing main breaker to the wire clamps inside the outlet being loose and getting burned to having an undersized wire feeding the outlet. Be mindful that a breaker is rated for 80% of its labeled capacity meaning that a 15 amp breaker is good for a 12 amp load, 20 amp breaker for a 16 amp load, 25 amp breaker for a 20 amp load and 30 amp breaker for a 24 amp load so forth and so on. If its extremely hot then loads may have to be further reduced to keep circuits and devices from overheating.
Power companies can be notorious about having voltage drops and brown outs especially during peak usage hours. I've had to install buck and boost transformers to correct voltage drops from the power companies all over the Northern Seaboard and Canada. Long term you will see more frequent electrical component failures as motors, controls, AC cooling units, etc, etc fail prematurely when the power companies regularly drop voltage.
Devices require a certain amount of Watts in order to function so for example a device that needs 1440 Watts to function properly requires 12 amps at 120 volts since amps times volts equals Watts. Drop voltage to 110 and now you need 13 amps to provide the 1440 Watts. Drop to 100 volts and now you need 14.4 amps. When you draw more amps than the device is rated for then your device runs hotter and hotter until it eventually fails sometimes immediately and other times after a while from repetitive low voltage damage and of course if your on a 15 amp circuit you are drawing more amperage than the breaker is rated to carry in constant use.
Hope this gives some basic perspective to what you have to consider when electric devices start misbehaving and failing prematurely.
Best!
It's so frustrating when the shop isn't 100 percent...... but carry on Great video 🎉
Always frustrating when your tools don't work, looking forward to the next video.
Lovin' the swing!
Had the same issue with the air hose leaving the chat on my plasma cutter. The regulator was bad. My JK overheats. I have a new radiator, water pump and thermostat waiting for the rain to stop so I can put it all in. I miss having a shop to work in.
It being summer and demand high, perhaps your not getting clean/consistent voltage. Harbor Freight Titanium is a workable welder to try.
Nice musical accompaniment
God luck onnthe projekt Holly and crew
Im so sorry to mention this again but i see 4+ drawers open again on that big blue tool box again!! I sure hope and pray yall dont learn the hard way like i did!!! Time is so precious and so is safety and reloading tool boxes takes time thats needed for the build and safety of someone in the way when it goes down is ALOT OF WEIGHT!! I really need to send a picture of my box falling over just so you can see the chaos of a tipped over tool box
Liberty Bibbidi is a good name thank you Holly for a great show
Harbor freight titan welders are awesome
don't get discouraged he doesn't give you any more than you can handle ❤
Voted. Next year, please find an AMC Eagle Wagon lol.
I love the eagle wagons. Been looking for one for 10 years. Rust protection wasn't big in the AMC world.
There were 2 here in Utah for 2,500-3,500 but I didn’t want to spend that much out of the budget.
@@MischiefMakerTV it's amazing that they still sell for that much
All the joy of a unibody plus another 50% more weight (unless it's all rust).... you would definitely need to full cage n tube n at some point ur cost benefit analysis is on its head ❤️🇺🇲
Haven't forgotten. Been voting for you every day. You are gaining ground plus your followers are really stepping it up.
🤙 hope the parts show an we see it all coming together in the next one
I can’t wait to see the jeep on axles
Like the swing music almost sounded like Zoot Suit Riot!
Please wear a mask guys when using that metal prep wheel. It puts out a lot of fine metal into the air.
Maybe consider replacing that hose on your plasma cuter.
is that a NP242 Tcase? If so you can Hack-n-Tap the back side for longer drive shaft to rear. There is; I think one company that makes an SYE for it...... and it is NOT budget friendly.. Hack-n-Tap is. very budget friendly. BTW- 242 and 231 each have same 4wd ratios in low and hi so your not loosing anything; if it was a 231 you would have kept stock geared anyway. Gaining the AWD portion of the 242 can be an advantage in some sections of this event your building Liberty Biberty for as well as rest of your plan
As the owner of a sas kj i feel your pain. I dont even have to watch to know what your dealing with. But im still going to watch 🤷♂️🤦
I’m so excited for this vehicle to be back out in the rocks. I’m hoping to have the frame strengtheners done this week and focus on the axles this weekend. 😊
Weld through primer would help. All the metal that you stripped down, spray weld through primer on it, turn the heat up slightly higher than you normally would and burn it in. Prevents rusting and helps the metal weld better
Those high jack stands look like they could use some platting or gussets.
I just watched a safety video of them giving out, it's got me looking beyond the build.
Have fun,
Be smart,
Be safe.❤
Hey- test voltage on your 240 while there is a load on it.
So basically, you are welding a frame on to your unibody. Good idea. I think the welding problem may be you are welding steel tubing to sheet metal. Hard to do without punching holes in the sheet metal..
Jessi's got some fast feet!
I hate that check the tip on the welder may need cleaned sometimes slag build up blocks the gas.
You really need to check that voltage while there is a load on the line. I doubt that's the issue though. Newer welding equipment is unfortunately not as reliable as it should be. Doesn't seem to matter the brand.
You’re a sweetheart Holly keep up the good work I have voted for you work work work. I like to see you feel that liberty. I have two of them.😂😂😂
You’re building the jeep, jeep should have build. The Holly Rubicon Liberty 😊 can I have it after you won the competition?
Plasma cutter and welder acting up I would check the power supply coming into the shop. One device acting funny but multiple devices.... But it is not under load and load would could change the input.
Yes, having a dirty lead coming in can cause problems, ie 115 volt on one left and 95 on second leg. 😊😊😊😊
Hey you got eye brows back!!
So we know not to buy a CUT/Welder,😂thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Not at all. If you think about it I've used the bajingle out of this thing. You have to change parts out no matter what you use.
great as always great content very entertaining
Try flipping and resetting breakers in box . Sometimes one will pop and you will not be getting full current on both legs in 220 .
👍
Love me some SAS'd Liberty!

Fun build. Does Walter ever not smile?
Was the right front hit before? It looks like it’s higher than the left front corner while it’s on the lift..
THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO
Thank you for watching

Seems like tgese fancy welders, cutters, etc, are too much. Back to old school non computerized welders cutters sounds the way to go. 😮😮😮😮😮
All that dirt / mud under the hood, might want to pressure wash out the radiator and blow it out with an air hose.
when you start using your Multimeter you will find out the Multiple things you can do with it and that's why it is called 😉
Maybe a new cutter is needed
Well it’s looking Mitty dandy, but tarans jeep sound like needs a power steering sound adjustment 🤭
How much longer till #hammertime ??? 😀
Hey guys, i keep catchin glances of a 6 spoke wheel in the background, what are they?
Those are the KMC VI beadlock wheels. They just released them last month 😊. They will be on my MischiefMaker soon.
@@MischiefMakerTV those shoes is badazz dollheart
So ON-X requires a premium or elite membership to vote now. Used to be allowed with a normal account, but not anymore. So both require a payed membership, very disappointed because I was able to vote and now can not. I have no use for a Premium or Elite membership where I live, so unfortunately no voting for me anymore, not sure who else this effects. But really enjoy your videos and good luck on the build.
Liberty-Biberty??? Lady Liberty or Liberty Belle for girl or TSOL//The True Son of Liberty for boy. Just an instant thought I had.
Where are you originally from? You sound like you're from Canada. Love your channel
Nothing worse than being ready to go and having your equipment not cooperate!
Happy to have got some progress through! And I've used the bajingle out of my equipment so it's probs about time a give them some tlc
Miller
Detroit style pizza!
You could have called or e-mailed the mfg of the welder and get their opinion on what could have been the issue.
I would have loved to but places were closed by the time this happened
So much going on and not much getting done. I hate when that happens.
What year is this liberty?
2002
@@MischiefMakerTV Thank you! Mine's a 2004.
Unibody is no fun to weld. I have installed a few XJ stiffners setups.
So are all the guest helpers coming in and out of these videos officially part of the team? Im sure I heard on one of the other team videos that any outside help from non-team members has to come out of the budget.
No, there is no team. It’s just me! 🤣 I’ve checked with Ian and there is no cost associated to having friends come help. None of the folks I’m brining in are actual fabricators or vehicle builders. They are mostly just helping around the shop grinding, cutting, disassembling. That said, I would happily agree to be assessed a charge for the 4-5 friends who will have helped me on this IF everyone else does the same. I have plenty of room in my budget for it.
I think my helping would offset actual useful help in the garage 🤣
@@krawlerkingdom 🤣🤣 you and Stimpy are rockstars! 💙💙
your problems that you are having are all caused by the gremlins. yes, it is a real thing just ask ed over at matts off road. we ar excited to see liberty biberty get finished up. and you should have busted out the old school tools, the old gas axe torch set , it will weld and cut no problem just keep the oxygen and acetylene flowing !
A bad ground will cause you to be shocked
I love you fair Goddess
😂🤙
then some
I see , I click
I thank you
Contact harbor freight. See if they will send you one
go get you just cheep harbor fraight one mins been working for 20 years all most
You also sound like cheese head. Love Wisconsin
Comments for liberty biberty
oh dear, i thought this is an onx build, sorry wrong channel i thought this was bleepn jeep lol lol
My plasma cutter runs on 10 pounds of air pressure
Why? Why must you all remove the guards on angle grinders??? Have you never seen those blades come apart and end up in your face or hand?
Gives me the willies every time I see it.
A full face shield like one of the guys was wearing might also be good.
Man you have a good eye! Most of the time they come off for one single cut where they get in the way and then we never get around to putting them back on
Your psi is too high. 35 psi will cut half inch.
Hailie, I hate to say it but if you would do a whole list lot less talking and more working this would be a great show
I'll let Hailie know 😂 I'm Hollie and I totally get it 🤘🏻😎
The Liberty is nothing more than a Fiat…Fix It Again Tony
