  • I've been wanting to turn this wrecked old truck into a monster truck!!! a truggy, a rock crawler!! A custom fabricated off roading machine!!! It's been a long time of planning and I'm ready to start the build. With a pile of parts, a place to build it (sort of) and a lot of ambition, I'm ready to get to work!!!
    Building this monster truck won't be easy. I'm lacking a lot of experience necessary to complete this project so i'm lookin to you for any input or help you can offer up!

    Wow you guys, thank you all for the support, this has been a big undertaking and I'm stoked to tackle this build and bring you along!!! Lots of exciting stuff to come-- we're hoping to post every Sunday so be sure to subscribe and turn on notifications! Let's do this!!!

      Trent, you're your usual charming, funny self. However, having watched the post, I've discovered I am not interested in vehicles in the slightest. So, I won't be watching Trents Garage going forward but will continue to watch Trent & Allie as usual. I love what you guys post and what you're doing so I'm glad that you've added the truck side of things separately. 🥰

      I'm super excited to see what shenanigans he gets into on here! However, something that I learned from a few other UA-camrs who started using multiple channels is that you need to make sure that you don't post the same thing on both or it will think you are copywriting, even if it is your own work. But as long as Allie is doing the editing I know all will be well because she is amazing!

      I love trucks, when we did our homesteading days that’s what we run, Trucks, 4wheelers, threewheelers, mud bikes, and Atco Mud boggers, but I digress. We had an old Ford Bronco with giant mud tires on it… anyway that’s a vehicle I learned to drive in the 1982, 1983… she was a bit of a gas hog, but we could take it up the mountains, and in Alaska, it’s a mountain, not a hill… lol so I will be checking your channel out.. and maybe my old school mechanic awesome spouse might just chime in.. Just a quick piece of advice, you all might wanna add Trent’s Channel to that part of your other page under the Channels tab, instead where you all said where’d you put it, because it wasn’t there. So I had use the magnifying glass 🔍 and it was a bit confusing, anyway-and you will be slightly more smoother in the delivery. Just a suggestion…

    Tips: The mess on the front of your engine(or anywhere) Lay you down a tarp, put your drain pan under it. Get you a parts cleaning brush, a bucket of diesel, and go to swabbing it on the gunk. Diesel, Kero, dissolves that stuff better(and cheaper) than any spray stuff you can buy!
    Tip 2, That big hex plug(allen) not many people have a Allen wrench to fit it, but,... you can find a bolt, most likely a metric bolt, that will fit inside of it snug. Run a nut up on the bolt all the way, cut off the excess thread, weld the nut to the bolt, you now have a Allen socket(if you didn't weld too much of the nut on the outside, If you did, you can use a grinder to clean it up, or use a wrench on it. When finished, throw it into your tool box in a place for homemade tools,...You'll need it again in 10 years or so, or, may be not.
    Tip 3. Those roll around carts, are just not all tat. I "collected" 2 old office chairs, from the dumping place, took the arms off of them, they roll better, and, I can adjust the height, and even when working under the truck, You can raise it up to a comfortable height, and make it easier on your back. Why Two, I have one for each side of my lift.
    Tip 4. Supporting your engine,;... If you have some block(I'd use 12 or 14" block, ) Make a stack on both sides of your engine. Get you some 2" pipe, and the next size smaller (I'm not a plumber so not sure what size that is) sleeve the bigger pipe with the smaller pipe. Get you two small cheap hydraulic jacks, cut two pieces of the smaller tube, like 1" pieces, Weld them parallel to each other, for the top of the jack to go into Put some boards on top of the blocks, put a 2X on each side of it, so boards on top of block are attached to each other, and, the jack is sandwiched in. (to keep it stable) Have everything high enough to attach a chain to your engine. Now you have a way to support your engine, and by jacking either side, you can adjust the engine to level it, and to move it side to side to wedge it on either side.
    So glad you got the Atlas 4 speed, That's what I have. When you build your mounts for your trans and t=case, attach them to the fram and not the skid, that way you can remove the whole skid, to have access to anything you may need to work on. Also, get really good drive shafts, I have .25 wall, and have had zero issues. On your drive shafts, I suggest getting forged steel yokes, not cast steel. I think I am gonna love your new channel!

      Good advice. Brilliant idea - two height adjustable office chairs on each side ... Excellent!!! Didn't think of that one. And, I have two chairs like that! I like your advice on your other comment about making sure the engine is securely supported before releasing all the engine mount supports!!! I was thinking he would have to go buy the triangle engine remover, with chains. This will cost less, I think. After all, he did spend money on the plasma cutter, which he clearly needs. Sorry Ali, I'm on Trent's side on this one.

    My son re-built a truck this year, and he pulled the engine out and got it all cleaned up. He had it sitting on a motor stand until he was ready for it. He took a 1991 blazer and put a lift kit on it. It’s done now and is an off road dream. It’s so high off the ground that I need a ladder to climb it. He has so many toys in this thing like TV monitors, GPS navigation and things I know nothing about! But it’s pretty! Fire engine red and huge tires. The inside has been all decked out and has everything but the kitchen sink! He’s a master with computers and computer programs. His truck built was to reduce stress, just fun for him. I’m 69 and this year will be 70. I just enjoy this. Just wanted to say drop the engine! I really enjoy your other channel too!

    Something(s) I forgot to mention below when I wrote you a book, so .. When you build your frame, one thing to remember is straight runs of tube are stronger than bent ones. More triangulation is needed when you bend tube. Also you can, if you want to, use rectangle tube instead of round. You can buy tube ends that you weld in for any open tube ends. And, That's not a monster truck, it is a rock crawler! ;)

      Agreed. Having it pulled out and clear of your work area when you build the tube frame is ideal. The different angles you'll need access to weld the frame will benefit you in a better weld and stronger joints. For the things you'll put this truck through no doubt you need a well built frame and good strong welds.

      In NHRA drag racing we always remove engine/trans in one piece, utilizing a removable front clip and engine hoist. There are chain slings available to bolt to the engine, with a ratchet-point to tilt the assembly. For greasy hands there are products like “invisible glove” that help. Coat hands before work. I found that automatic transmission fluid worked better than GO-JO for cleaning up afterwards. Please use solid metal motor supports.

    Supporting the motor: I've seen guys who fabricate frames mock it up in wood first to get the angles right, then build it in metal. I've seen guys make wooden supports for the motor. I would think the best and easiest way to do it would be to suspend it from above. A cherry picker would be in your way, but as another person suggested, a hoist from above would do the trick and free up the space under the motor, so you're not having to work around any support structure.

    Great first video guys. If you're going to put in a different trans and will be putting a new clutch and most likely a flywheel I would pull the engine. It will be much easier to have it out of the way for building the new frame. Then you can also get the engine out of the shop and clean it. I know lighting is hard with automotive videos, But better lighting would help. Looking forward to your next video. Now back to watching Trent and Allie.

  • @mikebroadhead9875

    The easiest way to do what you want with the frame is pull the engine and trans, build your framework, the hang the engine/trans back in the hole to make the motor mounts. The only way I can think to support that engine without taking it out is take the hood off, and hang it from your engine hoist in place, not the safelist option as you would be working beneath a hanging load (big no no in all the safety manuals. Glad to see this project finally getting started, all the luck to you!

    Have been a follower of Trent & Allie since you were living in your van. Excited for your new adventure. Since the frame is such a crucial part of the stability of your build, and you are remanufacturing it, not having the motor & drivetrain out of the way could jeopardize your ability to ensure the frame is solid, straight and will withstand the punishment it gets on your off road adventures. Give yourself the best chance to get it right. It would also make access to the motor & drivetrain so much easier in order to check them over, clean and repair or upgrade any parts. If you are dead set on not removing them and your ceiling joists are strong enough, using a block and tackle system vs a cherry picker would free up floor space and wouldn't interfere with your points of access around your build. Looking forward to seeing you fulfill your dream!

      Really like the box fan idea! Only problem is it’s freezing outside haha
      And the dogs are not allowed in the shop while I’m cutting or welding. Also I’ve I trusted Allie never to look into the light (when welding or plasma curing) haha the camera can look without protection 🙃

    Hi Trent….Here I am one of your biggest TA fans and now here I am going to be learning about truck rebuilding!
    So now I know a lot about building a house and a garage and now I’m going to see how to rebuild trucks!
    Oh dear God…WHO knew I would ever be doing this….but I’m retired so WHY NOT?! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

    Trent, my son and I restored a 1972 Ford Mustang and installed a new Ford Coyote 5.0 engine. We started with nothing in front of the firewall except two frame rails sticking out. To allow for fabrication and the room for fitting. adjusting and welding, that motor was in and out of the car at least 20 times. I suggest you just pull the motor and have it hanging from the engine crane. Love you guys and really enjoy your content.

    Trent 30 years ago I was a welder and diesel mechanic in the coal fields of Kentucky. You may have already done this but if you haven’t consider removing the gas line and tank. Back in the day one of the guys I worked with set a truck on fire welding on it but luckily no one was hurt but the truck was lost. I’ve never done a build like this but we always had something directly under anything we worked underneath. You should also consider some other supports attached to the frame by the lift in case the truck shifts on the lift. With all this being said my wife Lori and I want you all to know that we look forward to watching your and Allies channel every week and have subscribed to this channel and are looking forward to your all’s next adventures. 👍

    One thing I haven’t noticed anyone point out yet, you should clamp or even weld bolt on contact points to your lift. As you start removing parts especially heavy parts the weight balance will shift dangerously and can even fall on you while your working on it, something to keep in mind.
    Get plenty of welding blankets, they’re great for shielding sparks from flammable sources and aside from a fire extinguisher they’re great for putting out small fires. I’m always down for a safety meeting 💨😉 Let’s Go!

    Good to see you did this channel, love Trent and Allie. If your hard against taking out the engine, put the engine crane on it and support it that way. But my advice as a fabricator is to remove all the front area. It can be done, but you have to be pretty confident in what your doing, and have a plan on how your going to reinstate the rails in situe. I'm not doubting your ability one bit, cos I no your a chief, but definitely make a well thought out plan of how you intend to keep everything in line and at the correct angle etc,etc bla bla bla. You got this, go get some big boy, and have a ball doing it. Cheers from Melbourne Australi. Mick

    Hey Trent because you live in USA just go to harbor freight and get one of the rolling gantry cranes it will help support the engine, I believe you will end up removing the engine it will in the long run make it easier to re do your frame 🤷🏼‍♂, I’m super stoked you are moving ahead already with this project! Can’t wait to see your Miller equipment that I kept seeing in the background 😂🤣😂

    My son uses a jack with 2-bys to hold parts of the vehicle in place while he's working. Also the jack stands that lock in place. Don't know if that helps for the motor tho.
    Good luck cleaning that gunk off everything.
