By far the best bumper test I have ever seen on UA-cam.
Dryer proof 😂
goddam I saw this comment at beginning, was wonderin near the end if I missed it, then the laundry machine disappeared
@@nogames284 luv the washer scene- Camarata Way. should last hundreds of years..or a hundred seconds guaranteed.
These dang driers these days man, just jumpin out of front of folks left and right. Love it man funny stuff
Every day things
"Very important to have a good bumper incase a dryer runs out in front of ya"
🤣🤣🤣
I want a coffee table book of Andrew quotes along with pictures from his videos. 😂
I love how Andrew went through the whole cycle of "why aren't these stock?" in under a minute.
These are the Andrew Camarata videos that I enjoy so very much. Working on a truck that we all know, if something doesn't fit he makes it fit and makes it look good enough. Shows his insights, tells us about how dangerous a good bumper is - plows through a dryer to show how good his product is. Can't help but to come back to these videos and enjoy each and everyone of them.
Man, don't EVER get in a road rage incident with A.K. He will toy with you all afternoon like that. You can clearly see that he's well-versed in the fine art of moving scrap cars around, whether it's pushing or pulling. That might be the most (perhaps unintentional) impressive flex I've ever seen.
The moment Andrew started to chain the car had me bawling 🤣
Who needs a grader when you have a car on a chain
I'm not calling Andrew's Towing ever!
I almost stroked out on the appliance take.
Andrew should have been around when they built the Mad Max vehicles. He would have loved building those things!
Midwest trucks move aside, here comes AC vehicle recovery!
Everytime I watch one of Andrew's videos, it reminds me how happy it makes me that someone like him has been so successful on UA-cam
And he never asks for subs or likes . Just puts out the content.
"someone like him"? what is that supposed to mean?
@@oneiros1401 are we not all individuals?
@@MOON_KID that's not what you said
@@oneiros1401 I'm not sure what you're implying with your initial question then
You never fail to show what the _actual_ process looks like, instead of jump cutting all the difficult parts, and that's what I appreciates about you Andrew.
oh is that what you appreciates about him?
So agree 💯🤘
one thing ive not understood is why he hasn't gotten a cnc plasma table considering all the shit he makes.
sometimes... to a fault ... we still love him... but dude: he has a mag drill doesn't he? i thought i saw a mag drill in a different vid. mag drill on a chunk of i beam or something and an annular cutter and lube would have made me feel better ... and probably him too
@@jasonb6570 i do see that there actually is some totally intended comedy within all this. "that looks way better"
Love it when Andrew gets into his durability test mode
that milwaukee circular metal saw has got to be in the top 5 or 10 best tool purchases in your whole operation, Andrew. What a beast!. Great video as always.
I want one too
Plasma Torch comes a close second
@@VAX1970is that a parkside plasma
chain hook that pulled the pickup bed a very close 3rd
It is amazing
Working by & for yourself has it's rewards. Not so much arguing about how something should look or work. "It looks ok to me" is how it ends & I like that about your work.
It also has some downsides, namely not having much help
@@jakealter5504 i bet you two envious girls, never worked an honest day in your life. what would you know
@@SouledOut357 what are you on about?
كلام سلايم
I agree. But even on technical things, I had to argue bitterly with the guy who was supposedly helping me restore some vehicles. He didn't know when in the firing curve "advanced" was in relation to "retarded" . He put in the lower control arms on my Lotus BACKWARDS and wondered why the steering rack was so far down the threads in adjustment. Flipped 'er over, and presto changeo! I let him know that. I was happy to do things on my own to avoid his bull anymore. And then he tried to re-join the Navy, had a cholesterol of over 300, would NOT take the statin drugs to lower it, started smoking cigarettes, and keeled over dead as a doornail at 57. Yes to his dying day he had plenty of room to criticize me and others, and avoid all fault taking on his own. I even got him a job at my work and all he did was moan and sabotage a job that, were the FIRST TIME, he made decent money, got some modest Stock options, etc. Sadly he was SUCH a good mechanic and restorer and did his work job well. I had to get a bit non-linear with him to make him aware of how badly he was screwing things up for NO REASON. Annnnnd, he quit and ended up selling ALL of this great auto repair gear to make ends meet. He'd proclaim, "I pay my bills!" yet had a 10,000 dollar debt with Snap-off. You can't help people like this and at the end they have to just live with themselves, and yes, best to do it yourself if at all possible.
I love that when this man rambles he makes more sense and valid points than most adults do during an actual conversation.
I love how much Andrew loves this stuff. The smile on his face when he is carrying the plasmas cutter out of the room is priceless.
You wont see any dealership do that level of testing for a bumper. Very impressive work.
Probably because they aren't a manufacturing business
It's not the stealership's business to do that.
Making me defend a frakking stealership... SMH.
How about: New York Man hits his head and believes he's Florida Man
Camarata - builds a crash-proof Frankenbumper, concedes that perhaps the average American should not be entrusted with such.
@@cv990a4his argument about the dage to structures and other vehicles is totally valid, but he didn't mention people.
You hit someone with that even at walking pace you're going to really increase the chances of a very serious injury.
That’s the one thing I love about this guy is he does stuff mostly by himself and it always works and functions correctly how he wants it. It reminds me of how I’m am because is love working and building stuff by myself.
I bet at least 75% of his subscribers are saying yes I concur and feel the same way including myself
i take vehicles in for things to be done,, never correct,, even a fkn exhaust. a canvas canopy was the latest..'' were the best, it needs to be done this way'',, no,,im the fkn customer, this,,is how i want it & it works.. you,,dont own or drive the fkn truck.. . now, i cant fit my rack, or take it off.. last chance to get it fitted before i moved.. fk it.. 30 yrs ago,,took a truck in for paint,, same color.. came back different color.. it was original paint, guy said the color code is correct, i said bs.. he re painted it,,ruf as guts.. ass holes.. latest uncle tonys garage,, lady had a 59/60 truck frame off.. total fk up.. id burn there fkn shop down.. then again...when its re built..
That metal circular saw blade is impressive, cut pretty clean and fast,considering the thick plate you cut.
Do you know what kind of blade you used? I am just curious did cut clean and quick.
@@johnfielder71 yeah because of Andrew i look on internet because my first reaction was WHAT A FUCK MAN YOU CRAZY YOU CUT STEEL WITH WOOD DISK BLADE 😱 📀 ???? After I look online and that was in my country Romania 🇦🇩 it quite common now......it Tungsten Carbide tips disk blade it have 4 up to 5 times more teeth cost sometimes depends on what it can't cut almost us much as the circular saw tool there are versions that cut even concrete with iron bars ......how ever do not cut wood with it i did huge mistake I cut planks of wood with nails in it the problem is heat dissipation if you cut metal it conduct heat and cool it wood don't so in time the tips start to dull i gonna try to sharp the tips so I don't throw away a expensive disk blade !
@@johnfielder71titanium
The end result is the goal. If you just slapped on a store bought solution, that would be dime a dozen. It's the creative problem solving steps and watching you go through at least some of the fabrication that keeps the interest level high. Longer videos are just fine. It's what you do that not many others take the time to show or know how to do. These are some of your best. Please keep em coming.
Never thought Id hear Andrew say "if you like hitting jumps with your truck" 🤣
Yea funny huh!
Be sure to mount the snow plough first tho..
This whole video is exactly why I want to learn how to weld. Fabricate and fix my own equipment. I lost it with the bumper testing with the washer and car!😂😂 The most unique, but probably also the most fun way to do so! I love the videos!!
I bought my first welder when I was 18, my first set of torches when I was 19 .. and That was over 40 years ago, Still have them both and still use them, maybe monthly now I'm retired.
It'd be impossible for me to calculate how many tens of thousands of dollars I've made with them .. and hundreds of times I saved the day, when I just had to fix it myself.
That turned out great! Your truck is pretty strong to start with and with that bumper it's a beast! I admire your abilities to both design something then actually bring it to life!👏🏻👏🏻
One small modification turned in to an epic Andrew video, plenty of twists and turns, every tool used and it looked brand new at the end! Brilliant work Andrew 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Andrew is by far a real piece of work, in the best of all he is ,His videos are the best things on the internet love to watch them more than anything onTV. My opinion only. As always Andrew great job, thanks to all who have read my comments , I've never gotten so many before.
TV has nothing on AC. Really all of UA-cam.
Dude that was AWESOME
Andrew's getting the views for a reason. Great video as always
Best at running down someone’s product !
yeah even when he gets given shit for free to "test it out" and he has no problem shitting on their stuff if it's a load of crap
I never cease to be amazed by your ingenuity and rugged determination to solve the most frustrating projects. You've made an old man optimistic about the youth of America.
Andrew you are truly a visionary man. Really motivating. The things you do are a great reminder to push the boundaries. Keep it up.
You did not disappoint testing the ramming ability of the bumper!!!
I think Andrew was using that derelict car as a make-shift road grader blade. It seemed to do the job pretty well. And he's right; you never know when a rogue electric dryer will run across the street in front of you so you need a front bumper for your truck that will do the job. And after a bit of modification, he has one.
He just needs skid plates under the truck from front to back now.
Man I was laughin' sooooo hard!
Roadway moose crossings in Alaska are the leading cause of vehicular fatalities.
Electric dryer impacts are the second worst!!
Andrew you make the best videos period. It's always content that you can enjoy and learn something from.
Been watching since 2018 (so sorry about Levi by the way) and I am now in my 2nd year of welding school. Because of how simple you made things seem, I got really into diesel and welding technology.
Thank you so much for all you do. It's been so cool to see the castle transform over time. Can't wait to see what's next with the mountain!
Drew can push a car down hill, and it will be total junk by the time it gets to the bottom- the Camarata Way. should last a hundred years or so.
he's awesome. I been watching for a while now too, since those cool culvert/drainage digging vids. and I'm not even remotely in the business. Even just as entertainment, I'm up for sittin through an hour long vid
@@nogames284 i aint ever seen a one, its gut instinct i found this one. loll.
that's the first time I've see someone drag the stuffing out of a car, too funny
@@IR-nq4qv nobody tows a car like Drew, if it aint shit..it will be the shit. trust him
Amazing display of welding, and modifying talent. Also, thank you for showing us those interesting methods of testing of the strength of that new bumper.
That's definitely a nice little and rustfree pickup truck from the 1990's. I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the repair/restoration video. Maybe it will even be turned into a 4WD vehicle?
Some locking differentials would be great for those mountain climbs.
2005 ram 2500 5.9 pre emissions Cummins locking difs would take this truck further
You’re never too old to enjoy dragging an old Car around the place!
That was a Hoot, Andrew. Lots of mods on the new bumper, but it
Looks like it was all worth it... really enjoy watching the Labs enjoying
Life!!
Andrew, I have to say I find your videos so motivational just to ‘give it a go’ when repairing things. My Stihl combi system wasn’t working right and I figured it out mostly thanks to watching so many of your ‘large and in charge’ videos. If you can have a go then so can we. Well done mate. All the best.
I concur, he definitely fires up my diy can-do mindset
3 new Andrew "work" videos in just over a week!! Absolutely fantastic! Can't wait for the next! And a great new way to grade the drive! 👍
I love this channel and how far you have come, thank you all
The moment I saw the dryer in the bucket and the truck parked way back I knew it. I knew it. Incredible testing, manufacturers need to take notes.
Thank you for uploading more vids, Andrew!
Your content is by far the most informative and entertaining on the web 💯😎👍
Awesome Project Andrew ! I like fabricating myself , I will never be at the level you are , but you are an inspiration in everything you do !
So agree again.✌️💯🤘
OMG. That Mod/Fab is absolutely awesome!!! Love that 9" York rake at the end. Full driveway width, too!!
That turned out way better than I thought it would. Good job Andrew.
This video is confirmation that no one has more fun or works harder than Andrew! 😂😂😂❤
Love his Videos, been watching for the last 5 years, they have an ASMR vibe to them. Plus you learn a lot
Love these long term videos, it’s great when Andrew shares his mind as well 👍. Great video
Bumper turned out awesome! Function over form is always the way to go
Found this awesome channel back in the culvert replacing days and have been hooked ever since! It doesn't matter how long the video is 45 mins, 2 hrs, it goes by so quickly and at the end, just wanting more! I appreciate all the hard work, effort, and time you put in with editing, camera placement, driving with drone shots, and music. Thanks Andrew.
Andrew Camarata concrats to you Sir.
You won this weeks 1e price - the cast iron sledge hammer - for your outstanding hille billy iron work on the bumber. It was just fantastic. And your testwork can not be beaten by anyone. Super Andrew, love your style.
i think you have inspired lots of people to think they can also fix things and even they like creating things seeing how you create things, fixing, digging, building, helping others create things etc...
From finetuning an alignment issue with a 8 pound sledge to his on the point quote as to who should have an indestructble bumper ... another Andrew Camarata classic video. ALWAYS fun to watch.
Andrew I'm really enjoying your videos ! Amazing the amount of work and fabrication you do alone. Stay safe and please keep the videos coming
Andrew the story of your evolution noted here shows a man unafraid to accomplish great goals by dint of planning and execution. Your expedient fabrication and welding alone is inspiring. I really enjoy your work, TFS it.
I just about blew soda out of my nose when the scene shifted to you dragging the car behind the truck at 30 mph! Great stuff as always!
He def loves no-extra cab white Dodge diesels! Love how he uses De Walt too, refreshing not to just see a shop full of new Festools like most major youtubers. Best content creator on UA-cam!
Classic Andrew, very enjoyable! I liked the tailgate scene when he said, just a fine adjustment!❤
Thank Andrew for another great video. I really liked the test phase of the bumper build.
I like how you show a lot of details, the real process! Thank you!
Nice bumper.
Sometimes you just get bored and need to make up your own Fun.
Great video Andrew
Bumper and weld testing complete!! Snow plow testing and winch testing complete!!
An excellent all around video!! Thanks!! Enjoyed every minute!!
Cheers 🍻 Y'all!! 😊
I give that bumper an A++. After that beautiful test challenge I can say yep she's a keeper. Good job!
KC
Thank you
Thanks for sharing my friend, Kirk from Louisiana sending prayers and good vibes! Take care of yourself and your two boys Andrew! Thanks 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Always look forward to your videos, Andrew. I eagerly anticipate you demonstrating your bumper at the next street takeover that kids do in our town.
Andrew you NEVER cease to entertain us !!! we watch you and think sometimes what in the world is he doing. but then we watch till the end and we always say, "yup, that was typical Andrew Camarata". but always entertaining.
great job! and very fun to watch. better than most shows on TV. it helps remind me to get my own home chores done, minor in comparison to yours. we look forward to see what is next!
Your quality control is spot on!!
Keep up the videos.
SUGGESTION: For rough(actually quite decent) bent body panel repair get a vacuum pull rod. Its a rod with sliding hammer on it, with 10cm diameter really soft and adaptive to uneaven surfaces rubber sucker with a hole in a middle. the hole on the sucker is connected through the rod to the back of it to quick fit vacum connection. You can pull miracles in seconds with that thing, and even keep the paint in tact, as it does not create sharp bends. You can pull it just with body force, hammer, or combined- it would do miracles on that fender in seconds.
I am continually amazed at t how well all these videos are put together. Especially over a long time period! Andrew, I'd love to see a quick video on your cataloging saving and edit process. It's something I've wanted to learn myself.
I agree the software I use on my channel s/%$s.
I love how you used the car roof to grade the driveway afterwards. :) Love seeing trucks used as trucks.
You are one helluva creative genius. Another triumph.
If you watched some of Andrews videos you'll know these phrases:
Alright the project at hand right now-
Thats just garbage plastic-
Thats just tinfoil metal-
Cody, what are you doing?
Didn't want that to happen.
Also love the length and quality of your videos, keep it up man.
Don't forget " that broke for no reason"
@@jeffreyc6508 ohh yes
I love the tin foil/plastic garbage rants 😂
I knew eventually this upgrade on the truck was gonna happen, because i've watched all your video's, and have been following this channel since close to the beginning. If you have seen all the video's, you know that heavy duty bumpers are not new to andrew, amongst other heavy duty upgrades on other parts of his vehicle's. Really, i was a bit surprised that the bumper upgrade hadn't happened sooner. Andrew is probably right about not everyone should have that bumper, because whoever gets hit, they're probably gonna die, or be seriously injured, depending on what they are driving. He does need this bumper though, that's a sketchy path up that mountain. Thanks for the video, wish you would make a shirt that says," look how this broke for no reason, a truck made out of tinfoil and plastic. You could add a drawing of one of the vehicle's that broke for no reason. G-d bless.
Amen!!,, 🙏.
Great to see another dodge owner who uses and maintains them correctly . Very enjoyable watch as ever .greets from England
your result driven mindset is great!
You already made that fender look better earlier in the video so even with that new scratch it's still an improvement lol.
And I haven't laughed out loud that hard in a long time, especially once you started dragging it around on the chain. And that scene where you come bombing into frame through the field and onto your driveway was one of the best filmed shots I've Ever seen and had me laughing so hard, I'm going to have to watch that again. Best entertainment Ever. And the best part is now No One can say you ruined that bumpers strength.
Thanks so much for the effort you put into your videos, I can't wait for the next one.
Body work a good use of your burkes bar . What an essential tool to have around.
Just finished watching the video of him buying this truck! Than this pops up what a great way to spend a Saturday!
That turned-out nice! Good way not to waste a free bumper! I love it.
Andrew grades his driveway after the winter by dragging vehicles
I'm sitting here in late July in 90º plus weather watching Andrew plow snow and sorting out his new bumper. I couldn't
be happier. That bumper looks very good after your modifications
It's 115F right now where I am.
It’s because his video is old
Innovative way to smooth out your gravel driveway after a rough winter! LOL fun ! Thanks for sharing!
Andrew at his most incredible!! Especially his "fine" adjustments!
Took me about 5 seconds to realize what andrew was about to do with that washer lmao. Was not disappointed.
Good to see the pry bar that Essential Craftsman gave ya still going strong. Great work Andrew.
Looking forward to seeing more of the tree clearing/road smoothing equipment in future videos.
I’m 19 and your videos give me an insane amount of inspiration
Your videos always show the real deal. Great content
Andrew has a tool for everything. He is amazing and has so much knowledge and confidence.👍🏻🙏❤️❤️
You know Andrew is serious when he has a whole hardware store full of nuts and bolts at the back of his shop 😂
That was the best video to test a bumper. And you found a new drag to redo your roads. Keep up the awesome videos.
Andrew, your projects are always interesting and I am watching with glad
Yes!!!! another video from Andrew thank you Andrew love the videos you share
I’ve been waiting for this video since he bought the truck
Lol, the dodge ram has become a D6 bulldozer.
Yes! YEEEESSSSS!!!
I liked the snow thing he bought...
I love these videos where you're working on something the most.
Great video! Love the testing of the bumper. Video was so clear. Felt like we were right there.
Highly personally empowering to know how to and be able to construct and solve matters, that all folks like Andrew, hold in their lives, incredible gifting.
Been here for a long time now, back when the castle was being first built and when you first dropped your t-shirts, I ordered one to England. What I love about these videos is although it may seem its for our viewing pleasure, its also you fucking about doing stuff you enjoy which makes its genuine and genuinely fun to watch, glad the operation is going well Andrew B)
As always it was a hell ton lot of fun watching you builing and crushing stuff. Stay safe
you are truly the 'andrew' of all trades buddy
remarkable how you can take something and turn it into something else (better)
and honestly, i had my doubts till you started pushing that car around haha
good job man 👍
always a good day when he posts videos involving working on trucks
Really enjoyed you making that gift bumper work with all the implements that you judged necessary.
OMG. That Mod/Fab is absolutely awesome!!!
I swear we watched andrew adjust his tailgate by pulling the sides together part before it’s so funny you’re funny dude Andrew love it. Love your videos
Yea I was watching and was like I think I remember this 😂😂
Outstanding Performance Andrew! Another great video. 👍👍
Really like the way you made the measurements for the 2 cuts before hand. Great idea. 🍻🍻
This 'Mad Max' stuff you do is some of your best content Andrew, well done buddy.
You Rock Andrew, great fab work to make it fit, loved the testing at the end, you have to test your work to make sure it's right! great video.
