What you can't see is the hours of preparation and the manipulation of heavy equipment and tooling just for a few seconds of pushing/pulling. It's been a few decades for me but I hated the medium duty trucks. Especially Volvo. Their frames always diamond even with a minor crash. I've had to replace every cross member in a few Volvo medium duty. Once the ends of the X members roll just a little. There's no getting them back. Good work there. We all know that Bob does all the heavy lifting.
Chains in this case are needed for positive torque and force transfer, i.e. force and twist where you want it almost like "on the very spot" The straps would do the reverse and spread out the force and torque elastically left/right and laterally which is exactly why they are best for wreckers - avoid damage or if already wrecked avoid more damage by not concentrating force and pinching, bending or rotating particularly unibodies. But the principles work on either one. Concentrate (chain) the force pinpoint to get the rotation or stretch you want very precise in the frame shop, soft touch with straps on the wrecker to avoid damage until Bendon can work his magic on it. Great video, great fun, tremendous skill and very entertaining!
The amount of damage that you are capable of fixing is impressive. What would the characteristics of a bent frame have to be for it to be unfixable without replacing the frame rails.
Great video again. Ive been involved with a few frame projects your skill makes it look easy. It isnt Great work ive been watching for awhile wouldnt miss one! Your application of physics and bending modulus is incredible
Chevy v8 and tall gears that’s why, I used to retro fit similar truck but in a shorter configuration and my gm would do doughnuts before we sent them out for body’s
Like watching the progress on the frames!! I still have a trailer I would like to talk to you about willing to bring it to you 44 foot gooseneck with side sway & down in right front. Randy
Love your videos. I was calling it an Isuzu npr until I had to order parts for one and they look at you funny and say, “you mean NRR”? 😂😂😂 yeah that’s what I meant.
He's got them for sale. Get'em while you can, cause they go fast. Even has some autographed versions available too. There's a link in the description for them
2:20 Now thats an EXCESSIVE AMOUNT of holes in that frame. How can they not weaken the frames strength. I mean i can see several holes being pre-punched to make up-fitters job a lil easier. But thats just crazy nuts. Just make the frame Izuzu, the up-fitters will do their thing and put all the holes in it anyways while heating, welding & bending things into place for their fitment of the accessories they put on. 🤔👍🏻👌🏻😎🤷🏻♂️🤦♂️💪🏻
because real engeneering is done with math and not by feeling you just have to have enough thickness, material strength and beam height, deepness of that c channel and enough H frame connections in the frame to reach your designgoals you wanted. even with holes or larger sections cutted away^^ its clear not a frame for a heavy duty offroad dumptruck to work in mining industrie^^. its clearly a ligrt duty verry versatile frame to fit a large ammount of different applications probably all arround the world there are lot of countries you cant just put new hole in a frame where you want without a lot of hassle and new lizensing or something. with this frame the factory did it for you all you need is bolt your stuff on or move your toolboy back a few holes if you need addtional space for your def tank or somnething.
Chains. Hmmm ... Noticed the heavy wrecker peoples use chains very rarely. Have you considered implementing straps? Seems they would spread the load onto the frame.
Are there times when you have to mess with the rivets holding the cross members, also i wonder if the machine has enough pull to straighten that hair out
Just an FYI I have subscribed to your channel now four times, it will be fine for a.while then you vansh from the list and when you show back up, it shows I need to subscribe. Just an FYI that has to be effecting your bottom line!
Shop rate for frame ranges $100 to 200$ hourly. Type of damage: sway 12hrs, twist 12hrs, sag 12hrs, diamond 18hrs, buckles 4hrs each. Rolled rail 4hrs each, alignment 6.5hrs. Repair like replace crossmember and suspension components is by the book. This is just basic info to understand this.

Thanks for the longer video, I know youtube is not your job so thank you very much for taking the time to make the video.
Fabio and Bob at work!
😂😂😂😂😂
PRICELESS
Team work makes the dream work
Which is which?
What you do is absolutely amazing! Your understanding of frame dynamics is impressive.
Bob is a great help in pointing things out good job.
Never change my dude ! Even going through some slight depression you make me laugh like a little kid. Thank you!
Another informative and entertaining video. You make it look easy. People must realize it is far from easy. Enjoy the materials, keep them coming.
The swoosh sound is so funny.
Yes, we have no Isuzu's today!
That is one tough job there, respect !!
The "woosh" noise associated with Bob moving is life.
I find these surprisingly addictive. Very cool. Thank you!

Thank you for making me smile! The hair! Slow mo hair swinging in the wind!
Love your videos. Respect for the humor!
Great video, you are the expert in bendin or unbendin.
The Daddy of frame finesse! Keeping truckers on the straight and narrow! 👍
Wow. Great to see another video of what you do. So awsome. Love your humor
Definitely a semi-truck chiropractor specialist.
Good one man. Keep em coming.
Love The Long Videos Thanks Devin & Bob 😊😀😎👍🏼
The amount of damage that you are capable of fixing is impressive. What would the characteristics of a bent frame have to be for it to be unfixable without replacing the frame rails.
Anything is repairable with enough labor hours, except for structurally unsound rust in the frame, that would require new rails and cross members.
Really enjoy these longer videos!
Bendon for President 🇺🇸
“Hit in the box”. That’s what he said….
I really appreciate these videos. You do a great job explaining your work. You really are a national treasure!
I like them lil Isuzu trucks.
Never underestimate Bob or his value 😁
Thanks for the show Devin 🍻 🇦🇺
I’m gonna get a bob finger for my next Chevy sb rebuild I’ll post and give the credit to the finger. Keep Bendin
I found you through facebook reels its cool to see that you have long in depth videos looking forward to more
Sure does know his stuff on those frames.
Great video again. Ive been involved with a few frame projects your skill makes it look easy. It isnt Great work ive been watching for awhile wouldnt miss one! Your application of physics and bending modulus is incredible
Thanks man I really like your videos.keep it up. And yes Matt is right you do help with the depression 👍
Haha German torque spec, love it!
Great work! Not a bad explanation.
That Izzie's frame was KINKED.
Man, you are a doctor of frameology. Ya need a black lab coat.
Wow super video and thanks for advertising Mattress Mac in the background radio and the Fabio hair.
Good job thanks
yeah i drove a NPR with a gas V8 for a few years for a company. those things will get it. wouldn't think they had so much get up and go.
Chevy v8 and tall gears that’s why, I used to retro fit similar truck but in a shorter configuration and my gm would do doughnuts before we sent them out for body’s
Is that a banana or are you happy to see me?
Awesome work you are a master of your trade 😊
Really enjoy your videos and BoB
Great work there 👍👍
Good video Bob
Nice job with the video big hoss.. 🥇
"i know a couple girls that aint" lmao hell yeah brother
We're going to do a little light twist! Killed me!
Magic, for sure. Sure, it looks like an expensive process.
Love your videos. Always wondered though if you ever brake rads while straining frames?
Respect man, respect
I like the longer videos
Love watching your videos do y'all do passenger vehicles too Also where you located
Like watching the progress on the frames!! I still have a trailer I would like to talk to you about willing to bring it to you 44 foot gooseneck with side sway & down in right front. Randy
Go Bob go
Love your videos. I was calling it an Isuzu npr until I had to order parts for one and they look at you funny and say, “you mean NRR”? 😂😂😂 yeah that’s what I meant.
For a minute there I thought you were gonna go the “over the top” hat flip like Sylvester Stallone..
The Ibubu!
Great video, I was wondering if you unbolted the motor mounts when you were bending behind the front axle (08:00)?
Great video have you ever had trouble with wiring harnesses after a large pull?
Love your channel I need a bob pointer get em out here I’ll buy one
He's got them for sale. Get'em while you can, cause they go fast. Even has some autographed versions available too. There's a link in the description for them
You're insane but it absolutely works for ya!
I still get tickled at the whoosh sound of your little pointer hand cutting through the air
You definitely don't need to go to the gym ever with that job. Man you move some heavy steel
Keep straightening !
please Please PLEASE do a video about how to spot bent frame/ body damage in a salvage or truck auction! PLEASE Please please
YEESS!
What argument did this truck got in too 😂😢

you just have to have enough thickness, material strength and beam height, deepness of that c channel and enough H frame connections in the frame to reach your designgoals you wanted. even with holes or larger sections cutted away^^
its clear not a frame for a heavy duty offroad dumptruck to work in mining industrie^^. its clearly a ligrt duty verry versatile frame to fit a large ammount of different applications probably all arround the world
there are lot of countries you cant just put new hole in a frame where you want without a lot of hassle and new lizensing or something.
with this frame the factory did it for you all you need is bolt your stuff on or move your toolboy back a few holes if you need addtional space for your def tank or somnething.
It’s like an rv. The box is the strength. And as long as the flanges aren’t drilled it’s very strong
Do you rebolt the engine mounts when you do the test drives? I miss that step in the videos.
No frickin' liner in that frame
It'll be back ......hahahaha
Chains. Hmmm ... Noticed the heavy wrecker peoples use chains very rarely. Have you considered implementing straps? Seems they would spread the load onto the frame.
You want a force transfer with no stretch. Straps stretch, chains don’t.
Daylight Come - and me wanna go home:)
Ah man flick that rockstar hair brother, I just whacked mine off…I’m kinda regret it it.
Dang bobs getting out of hand lol
Are there times when you have to mess with the rivets holding the cross members, also i wonder if the machine has enough pull to straighten that hair out
Mitsubishi FG140 is a banana. Where you at Bud?!
Come, mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan' go home
😂😂😂 i know a few gals that aren't straight either 😂😂
I want bob pointer finger so i can bring it to work j bet my manager would get a kick out of it bc I work in a shop
How many hrs does it take on average to straighten a truck frame?
Where’s all the other workers lol
Amazing job young man all I can say
Banana
More straight.
it’s “bonanna” 😁
Bob-nana
What would it take t learn from you and such
Farmer Torque = Far as it will go and 1 more round!
Reasons I bought a hino instead of the izuzu. Hino has a stiffer frame.
They're both some of the worst.
Just an FYI I have subscribed to your channel now four times, it will be fine for a.while then you vansh from the list and when you show back up, it shows I need to subscribe. Just an FYI that has to be effecting your bottom line!
Always wondered what it cost (ball park) to do something like this...?

Semi chiropractor 😂😂😂
Im going to me a Bob.
Wasup dog?
Curious to see how this works out. I am a Honda and Japanese reverse engineering devote.
Could you check a 2016 ram 2500 for me, i would gladly bring it and pay cash
Where are you located at?
he's in Houston, Texas
There is certainly no need for you to go to the gym after hoofing all that gear around all day 😂😂
Don't forget to smash the like 👍 button for "BoB"
i want my bob
The chain necklaces are a dangerous accessory to wear around machinery. You may as well wear a necktie.
Are you related to sam kinison?
