It really is cool to see the progression from the “rather exuberant” guys from the early episodes, to the respected craftsmen we see today. Jimmy, Jeremy, thank you for letting us appreciate the skill you guys possess, and #Powernation thank you for letting these guys become who they are today. I know that I will appreciate the #Carcass show for years to come.
Well, I hope you don't forget to put a top reinforcement bar on the shocks hoop, because all that tension from the shocks will bend the chassis inward. And the brackets for the axle links seems too weaks. YOU GUYS KEEP ON MOVING, EVERYTHING GOES VERY WELL.
When welding near machined parts, especially with MIG anti-spatter spray is your friend. Also when welding near threads its a good idea to thread the piece in before starting... make sure your ground doesn't transfer through the threads.
You can’t run a steering box with a triangulated four-link front suspension; you’ll have uncorrectable bump steer. You either need to run full hydraulic steering, or run a three-link with a track bar.
This is a great video. Thanks for doing it. You do create very nice welds with your technique and setup. The camera shots of the welding are also very good. TIG welding has an artistic aspect to it. When the helmet goes down all else goes away except the puddle.
I gave you guys crap on the Trailblazer project because you used a SS model. There are a lot more 6s running around that are affordable and plentiful. However, this build makes plenty of sense and I am enjoying it. Good job guys.
I really love to watch your videos... I can learn more about how to build something with using a right tools and do it right way... Very helpful... Sorry about my bad english... Hope you can understand.... 😅👍
Awesome video, how’d you make sure the axles were completely square before measuring for control arms? Plumb bobs? I’m assuming that the frame was leveled before any plumb bob was used? How about the axles caster? It’s safe to assume that you positioned the axles at the optimum position first? I’d love to do a build and am in the metal trades, you are all awesome! I’m curious if you got sunburns from welding without sleeves?
Maybe knocking some of that rust off before you complete your build might be a good place to start...then a quick stay over at the powder coaters or just about any place that will apply some kind of corrosion resistant material to that chassis.
First time I've seen this particular video series. I really enjoy this type of creative fabrication. But where can I get access to a shop with a plasma cutter? To buy and build a simple shop with equipment like they have would probably cost more than my entire house. Seriously, I wish someone would do a video on how to economically build and equip such a shop, not just how to do projects in a completed shop.
This is all a dream too have this done to my junk truck maybe one day but itd prob cost more than imma pay since i dont have tools or friends to help me do it!
I'm assuming you did alot of measurements and triangulation off camera. Alot of people may not understand the significance of tacking and measuring twicet before committing to a weld.
I'm sure the average car/truck enthusiast doesnt have a clue exactly how much knowledge is needed to do a build like this...i mean just the amount of knowledge you need to have to be able to use the tools needed is allot....not to mention actually building it.
nice video !!! Please some more info on anti-squat and CG relationship, theory design. Where did you get this info and where can I get it? Why didn't just run a parallel set for hydraulic/mechanical steering like in the 4500 class Ultra4 cars? The best of both worlds.
How do you know the front drive shaft isn't going to hit the link? Without the transfer case in you are gonna get some serious plunge if your middle link ends aren't close to the U joints.
If you guys want to get to the 1million subscribers you need to do more give a ways. It doesn't half to be anything huge, sometimes its the little thing that go along way. And don't forget about your northern neighbors. That's right people from Canada watch your stuff and we want to be included. If you stop giving away whole cars and gave away some car parts people might be more inclined to watch. Also I thing anyone from Canada would gladly drive down to the USA to get one of your give away cars so don't count us out. Anyway just giving you some thoughts. Love the show keep up the good work and plz do some more third gen Camaro stuff, I have one with a 350 swap and your third gen videos were a nice surprise, BTW there making a huge come back right now since the alleged Camaro discontinuation
A 4 link front suspension moves strait up and down, but a mechanical steering with a steering box moves in a arc??? Gonna have really bad bump steer and or sheer you sector shaft on hard impact.
I'm just wondering how they know / worked out the length of the coilover when it's at ride hight? How do they know what the spring wights will be and how much gas pressure will need to be in the shock? Good video guys From the UK
If you deal with a professional company you mock up the correct chassis height, measure the mounting points, corner weight your car (with the right load), then you send the data to the supplier. They will calculate spring stiffness and lengths to get you the ride height you have specified.
I always ask myself the same question, I would like to do a project like this, but nobody has answered that question and they never show it in the videos.
THC keeps me at the optimal height too.
Thought the same thing when I heard that 😆
Facts.....on a multiple times a day basis!!

Thank you for the reformat. Took Carcass from a show I couldn't stand to watch (with the reality tv vibe) to one I can't wait to watch.
+1 Yes, like the show much more now. Painful to watch before.
Out of all the shows on the channel this is definitely the best one. Keep doing the crazy artistic stuff you guys do.
Parte 2 xfa. Saludos
Nice, this is power of USA people, make America great again. Hello from Europe
Y’all r the og of car building..1.2mil subs is a shame… there wouldn’t be a us without yall

YOU GUYS KEEP ON MOVING, EVERYTHING GOES VERY WELL.
the slot-and-tab design you can build in with the CAD software really shines here. this is just well-thought design meeting experience.
I've always wanted to build one of my own. I hope you guys are available for tech support over the next 10 years.
Glad to see deadheads still around.
Deadhead from Virginia right here!
I enjoy builds like these. Would like too see how it turns out.
Loving all the fabrication on this build !!!!
Props for actually giving a quick shot on what the welding machine was set at. 👍
The reason I just subscribed.
this is how you can tell if they understand their audience.
Now about a mile of weld bead to hold it all together!

@Leo Coffy lol
What? These guy's are pro's
@Leo Coffy has nothing to do with grip and everything to do with the vehicle being unstable on the road
@@dumbestoyster apparently not
Wrong yes you can I have a few you have to do a bell crank set up for the steering
I get the feeling you guys like that plasma table.
This is a great video. Thanks for doing it. You do create very nice welds with your technique and setup. The camera shots of the welding are also very good. TIG welding has an artistic aspect to it. When the helmet goes down all else goes away except the puddle.
Been nice to stay with basics and talk about the geometry more , less I’m welding and cad stencil ,
I would have built a different crossmember with clearance for the link bars, I mean you do have a CNC table...
🤔🍻
Thank you guys, from you I got lots of knowledge about automobiles
I gave you guys crap on the Trailblazer project because you used a SS model. There are a lot more 6s running around that are affordable and plentiful. However, this build makes plenty of sense and I am enjoying it. Good job guys.
This show is the nickel back of automotive shows.
I COULD BINGE WATCH THIS CHANNEL ALL DAY!!
The production and effort plus knowledge. Respect
What a blast! Killer shop and suspension masters!
I really love to watch your videos... I can learn more about how to build something with using a right tools and do it right way... Very helpful... Sorry about my bad english... Hope you can understand.... 😅👍
I wasn’t even planing on watching this video but holy hell this is informative and interesting I love this channel man
Nice work! Looks great. I’m building a 1978 Jeep Cherokee Chief the same way. Just waiting on my shocks from King.
Después de ver esta chapuza, no me extraña que en las ITVs miren los 4x4 con lupa.
I enjoy these videos so much!! I feel like I learn more here, then when I was in school
You're going to have crazy bump steer with that front 4link set up. You need to run full hydro steering or a track bar with that mechanical steering.
🤔🍻
Might as well do Leafs in the front at least if you're going to have that steering set up
Yep....they could of easily done a proper three link setup.....but those who know....know. And those who don't know....well.....
I thought they were doing a whole hydro setup
Exactly what I was gonna say then u already did😂
Did the plasma table come in handy? Idk if they said it did
I’d like to see an detailed episode for setting up the gears in those axles.
I am about to go postal!😄😃😀😊☺😉😁😂
First episode I've ever seen and reminded me of those shows on speed I watched growing up
Unity giving power for couple of suspension
Looks like you guys have a lot of fun.!!!
I think I understand quantum electrodynamics better than the suspension physics.
They sure have a good sponsorship of Dippity-Do
lol good one
17:30 You left out ORI's air struts. They're the best in the business! Off Road Innovations. Only downside is they're backordered quite a bit.
I love to see what you guys can do with a J10!
13👍's up thanks again for taking us all along with you
I had one with a 454 ci big block Chevy in it for the street
Cleaning the axle housings and not the frame is crazy
How are they getting to the nuts for the fronts rear upper mounts??
Awesome video, how’d you make sure the axles were completely square before measuring for control arms? Plumb bobs? I’m assuming that the frame was leveled before any plumb bob was used?

Good day friend...good job...👍👍🇹🇱🇹🇱
How are you going to run a triangulated front 4 link with steering linkage? You'll probably need full hydro steering

Great Work guys
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙏
Great work can’t wait for the next update
Altering the wheelbase effects the engineered steering Ackerman, unless you adjust the width accordingly, or alter the steering knuckles.

CAD - Cardboard Aided Design
nice work guys
How did you find the anti squat line? So confused on that process. To me it looked like you just picked a random location near the wheel center line.
This is all a dream too have this done to my junk truck maybe one day but itd prob cost more than imma pay since i dont have tools or friends to help me do it!
What is the coilovers they used i was hoping they'd go into detail about them but nope just heres want we got lol
This is a sweet build.
I pretty sure the axles will still be here after the rest of the Jeep rust to death..... those axle area built for a damn bomb.
I love this project!
Are the doors going to clear sliding past some decent tires?
You got to get it did a really nice job that juice will look very sweet
4 link front with a chassis mounted steering box? How do yall plan to combat bump steer?
We need more hardcore rock crawling ahows
I'm assuming you did alot of measurements and triangulation off camera. Alot of people may not understand the significance of tacking and measuring twicet before committing to a weld.
Will you guys be gusseting the hoops for lateral support?
I'm sure the average car/truck enthusiast doesnt have a clue exactly how much knowledge is needed to do a build like this...i mean just the amount of knowledge you need to have to be able to use the tools needed is allot....not to mention actually building it.
*coworker* - “Hey man, how’s your day going?”
*guy who loves his CNC plasma cutter* - “Man, I sure love our CNC plasma cutter!”

Thank you for sharing your video I get great ideas
Doesn't that lower your clearance by quite a bit to have the center heim joints hanging down off the frame rails?
Could you do all the welding with a 110v mig welder?
Nice build and great info. Just curious I would like to know who makes the 2 post lift your useing?
How do you know the front drive shaft isn't going to hit the link? Without the transfer case in you are gonna get some serious plunge if your middle link ends aren't close to the U joints.
Dam I miss Ian Johnson.
Same, watched that and gearz with my dad all the time after school when I was little
How do you determine the length of the Shock at Ride height? To make the Dummy Fab shock bar?

they did it without give aways you slacker
they did it without give aways you slacker
Why don’t you sand blast the frame and axles?
Because rusted is all the rage nowadays They call it "patina". The rest of us call of cheap and lazy.
Because they are going to use some (product placement) coating you can apply directly to a mildly cleaned up frame.
@Leo Coffy me too😕😖
I've subscribed to this channel. You definitely deserve more subs, than the mainstream youtubers.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
They sure like pointing sponsors stuff out repeatedly that most of us cant afford.
You can DIY most of them in your garage. Just as we do.
Why do you expect them to be broke like you?
They get paid by sponsors.
Maybe you would be broke if you weren't such a whinny little crybaby?
@@craftyukraine you build bikes bro.🤦🏿♂️
Next projek, quadski

Did you guys do an episode on the frame clean-up?
If so, can you link it please?
Awesome educational content! 😎👍
Its awesome I liked your video ,I'm looking for coilover suspension for my 1984 fj40 ? What do you recommend me ?
NICE VIDEOS

Why not a triangulated shock mount? (Cool build:))
I didn’t know anderson copper did auto shows!!!
I forgot to put on my welding helmet and burned my eyeballs watching.

👌 good think .. good skill .. good talk
👍 good tools
Good job 👍🏻
At 16:36 it does not look like there would be enough room to fit a nut between the mount and the frame.
Later on you can see the nuts on, it looks very close, but they did it.
Every time he says “now” take a drink.
Junk mail is bad ass
No links for the the “used” springs and “end links” ?
Great job!!!
