MINI TRUCK GETS SOME BIG CHANGES!! PT2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 лип 2022
- WE CONTINUE WITH THE MINI TRUCK UPGRADES. WE WANT TO CONVERT THE STATIONARY BED INTO A DUMPING BED. THIS WILL REQUIRE REMOVING IT FROM ITS ORIGINAL MOUNTS AND CREATING A SUB ASSEMBLY TO SUPPORT THE BED. IT WILL ALSO NEED HINGES, A HYDRAULIC CYLINDER TO LIFT AND AN ELECTRIC OVER HYDRAULIC POWER UNIT. LIKE ALL MY PROJECTS, I HAVE SET A TIME LIMIT AS WELL AS A BUDGET AMOUNT, LETS SEE IF WE CAN GET EVERYTHING DONE UNDER BUDGET. HOP-E YOU ENJOY.

*Fantastic* work J.C! 🙂👍 I really like how you're making it a dump bed. That's gunna be extremely handy! The wheels and tires look great as well. Take care and be safe 🔧🔩
Goldielocks tire and wheel combo. Just right. Loving that addition of the dump bed & hitch with the usual well thought out design and quality build.
The wheel/tire combo looks great and combined with the dump bed just makes it so much more useable and versatile ! Great video...can't wait to see it finished 👍👍
im going to keep going until it is finished. at least this phase. it may have some really big changes coming,
I think the Mrs. is going to want to drive her lil truck to town and show it off. Looks great.
Wife's mini monster truck. Go Mrs. JC go
I'm jelly of the flairs. FYI:. Beds are the same width as 80's Toyota's 😉
Another enjoyable video. Thank you for sharing!
beautiful to see, years of experience that goes wild on a mini truck.
Awesome work…can’t wait to see it done
Very nice wheel and tire up grade. Building a dump bed is a great idea . Since you have the majority of part's and knowledge to convert it. Really looking forward to the next video on this little project truck stay safe J.C.
Nice work.Cannot wait the final result
You are a good welder sir . Excellent job man. You do great work. Love watching your videos.
Really like how those wheels look on that truck , and the craftsmanship you put into your work is amazing . And being precise with your work with something that don’t need to be , just makes that truck much better.
This was a great video. I hope that you continue to show the progress!
Right nice valeters truck for the best detailer in bisness .
Love channel guys wee truck looks butchy true love ey always keep your woman happy
Looks good. Nice work as always.
Very nice upgrade on the welding machine JC 👍🏻😎🌟 Welcome to the century I’d just remember that to weld they used to use two batteries and two cables 🤔 Very impressive Your welding machine also pretty well explained your project 😎👌🏼 God Bless Both of You Guys 🙏🏻😇🙋🏻♂️
Can't wait to see it when you are done with it. Keep up the great work.
i have all kinds of ideas...."some a good...some a not so good".
@@j.c.smithprojects That's how it goes I guess with all smart cookies. Lol
Looking good😇🙏👍
Looks great changed the whole look of it!!
You are very talented JC awesome jjob!!!
Great detail on the MitsubiSHE!
Little truck looks good with those tires and wheels 👌. Nice job on bed of truck and hitch.
Love these mini truck videos!
Mr JC Love this project. Thanks for sharing and stay safe
hope you all stay cool during this heat wave.
You are turning a POS truck into one serious mini beast unit! This is a cool build. Great job.
Those are really sharp wheels and sure changed the appearance of the truck for the better.
Love the tire and wheel combo. It made a huge difference. Looking forward to seeing the next video on the Mitsubishi. It probably won’t take much to make it DOT legal for street use. This is gonna be a nice little truck 🛻.
Another over-engineered heavy-duty remastered project. This is why I watch your videos.
Another enjoyable episode JC. 👍
Mrs Smith will have a real cool truck.
Jc beautiful job on the dump frame and hitch those tires should make a huge difference 👍
I think you are going to appreciate that winch. My tractor is an old aircraft tug that has an open rear differential. I have a small winch that I have just gotten the thing with both back wheels on firm ground again. I have never "buried" it thank goodness.
I don't have much trouble now I have the backhoe on it. That keeps everything pretty well planted in the rear.
That dump bed is going to look good and work awesome.
Those lights are going to be nice too.
I'm looking forward to seeing how you make the front panel. I know you aren't going to be happy with a plain flat plate all the way across...... LOL!
Looks like a nice build, if you are doing it it will be 😎👍.
Cheers
Terry
Everyone in the end likes that stance with some wheel poke and some wheels with a lip. 👍
Dot approved wow. Really wanting a mini soon
You may not be a welder but you are a great fabricator. You are doing a great job on this project 😀
cool project as always
Mommas gonna have one of a kind !!!!!
Cool project
Great video! Just picked me up a 1997 minicab! Having some issues with it turning off after running about 10 minutes. Replace the fuel pump, and spark plugs. And it’s still not staying running for longer than 10 minutes.
you need to figure out if the ignition is shutting off or if the fuel is boiling and vapor locking. when it shuts off, check for spark immediately. also look down the carb and give it full throttle a few times. you should see fuel spraying.
@@j.c.smithprojectsI’m gonna check spark today. For some reason it’s not starting today
Like a mini dump truck! My 1991 F-super duty dump truck has folding sides and boy do they make things easier.
The tires should hopefully help it get around better and being a dump will be handy.
she is worried i will take this project too far....who does she think i am?
J.C. - You are a superstar! Really love this mod project! Great Job! Keep going!
Lucky Mrs. :)
The many truck is looking very good
You know, this is one of my favorite things I've seen you do. It's pretty cool how excited doing something for you wife makes you, and you are having fun doing it. Awesome video, and a good lesson for a few of us to remember to make sure the better smarter half wants to keep us around
she doesnt ask for much. so when she does, a man has to deliver.
Dear J.C. Smith projects family.
👍👌👏 Extremely well done again and as always (video and work). Maaan, I simply love to see you working on this tiny truck. I would love to own one myself (although I guess that I don't fit in the cabin). Of course it's a great idea to ad a dump bed, this will definitely come in handy. As always I love the fact, that you had all the material you needed for the modification "layin' around', even the hydraulic stuff! A good hoard is something I like too (especially nowadays).
I had to grin because in my imagination the front of the truck lifted because of all the thick/heavy metal you welded on the rear of the "Missesmobil"! ;-) 😁 I really hope that you will not have problems because the new beasty looking tires are really wide. But if, I'm absolutely sure, that you will be able to solve the problem. I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the next part.
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all of you.
apparently, this is only the beginning of this project....more ideas and plans to come.
Hi from uk mate👋👍 goin to be another great profuct and helpful user around land for you both if needed👌 but we keep saying happy wife happy life!👍 you always go above and beyond on your projects to het best results and I appreciate you never waste anything until its needed for use👌 good job on tail lift and think be more than what you guys need and strong enough but new saying for jc is "" I am what I am 👌 "" bin a while for "" it is what it is"" lol but yeah good job all round man👍 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
"i am who i am." love it or hate it....it will never change.
@@j.c.smithprojects I think you need another plaque to hang in shop with that quote on it and I love it lol 👌
probably do.
That’s a fancy little chicken feed hauler, I’m sure mrs smith an the chickens will approve 👍
Gonna have to call this the 1/6 scale “mini-national” 4.300 series 🤣. Def interesting seeing this progress
i like that.
@@j.c.smithprojects Now all it needs is a reclaimed 1.0 liter/999 cc Ford turbocharged 3-cylinder engine (From a euro ford focus) Just teasing! Still an awesome build!
Been so damn sick for so long that time on internet has been limited...... that little rig is lucky to found you JC. I seen so many of the tin lizzy's just tossed in scrap after being whipped on like this one has experienced. Must be some rich folk that can just beat on then toss away. I always took more care of my old stuff than I did some of the newer stuff I had... congrates on the welder upgrade as life is easier with good tools
HELLO JC AND MRS SMITH ITS IS RANDY AND I LIKE U VIDEO IS COOL JC AND THE MINI TRUCK IS COOL THANKS FRIENDS RANDY
Great video again love all you do and really enjoyed the chicken coop videos something different and showing you are versatile for other projects. And just ignore negative comments it's just idiots wanting a fight on social media.
I work at lincoln, thanks for supporting us
That things sweet buddy of mine had one he daily drove his I never did drive it to see how it was to drive one but shoot it was awesome
Hello from the Netherlands .
the mini-truck comes together nicely with the lift , the new wheels , the dump bed . maybe add a mini trailer hihi
thanks for the video JC .
Sincerely Hollandduck
mini gooseneck has been in my head for some time now.
@@j.c.smithprojects
nice . I'm looking forward to their videos
I hope that tiny motor can move the new tires, steel reinforcement, and a dump bed of whatever.
it will do ok for what she is going to use it for. its not like there might be a small diesel in its future.....
This has been a really cool project so far! I really enjoyed the way you came up with a way to fabricate what you had on hand to make a dump bed. Looking forward to seeing the lift get installed. By the way I can’t remember what motor you said it had? It’s a little 4cyl isn’t it?
Speaking of projects I just picked up an old 1988 F-250 7.3 IDI diesel for a whooping $700. (Because one broken diesel truck wasn’t enough for me haha!) Great video as always J.C. Take care
3 cylinder gas engine..something like 30hp if i recall. idi is a great reliable engine. not fast but simple and easy to care for.
😎👍
Have this Mustie “ Déjà-vu “ lol
JCSP is ultra cool
Nice welder J.C. …..as I mentioned before…I prefer the Lincoln over the miller…both good welders but the Lincoln is smoother…less tempermental and has a sweet spot for arc on small increments of steel thickness…I love the 255a but that 260 looks awesome.
I’m currently building a 4x6 dump trailer for my subcompact….I too am using a cylinder and pump off a lift gate and the same pin brackets…being a borderline hoarder has its benefits lol . Good luck on your project..coming along well . Btw..did you check northern tool for a reservoir?
i found a reservoir. it was make only for maxxon lift gates. little pricey for a plastic tank but at least it is updated with a stronger collar. maybe this one wont crack in the same place.
Grin, usual shoddy workmanship JC I see 😁 in years time when the rest of the truck has rusted away, your work will be about the only thing left completely in tact !
Very impressive work.
Don't forget the grease nipples on the hinges on the back.
It is strange I know of 4 channels who have brought a jdm mini truck recently there excuses are that they are better and cheaper than a side by side and depending where you are you can also license them.
Will you give it a new spray job as well JC?
Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
this started as a somewhat quick project but has quickly turned into an all out build....more to come.
@@j.c.smithprojects just like the chook condo you built eh?
Their is nothing wrong with doing a job properly, and in the long run it will save you time because of its reliability.
I love the ram you put on the tray it probably can lift the whole truck off the ground without any effort, 🤔come to think of it does the trucks engine have enough umph to run it? 😁
Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
the hydraulic pump will be driven by and electric motor.
this is one of your better videos IMHO.
can you build the homemade dump bed for less than
buying the OEM dump bed? (Ive seen that option)
ps: no chrome acorn nuts for the cool new wheels?
could you maybe raise the whole cab to solve front wheel
clearance & dump body line issues?
video to come on the lug nuts...what i found was ridiculous.
Now you have 4 spares for your wheelbarrow.
What tires and rims did you go with?
Hi my Grandad had a mini fan called a Sambar this truck reminds me of it
Amazing metal work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Those are some pretty wheels! I'm going to powder coat the steel rims on my little Hijet. I like the simple utilitarian look, but I don't like the scuffs and the rust.
You know you can buy a kei dump truck, right? :-)
15:20 - You need a lathe!
This is looking good. Great project. I love fabricating. I can watch it on UA-cam all day. :-D
you can buy a dump but finding a left hand drive isnt easy. besides, whats the fun in buying when you can make it yourself/
Where did you purchase the wheels and tires?
Great job, JC. Do you mind sharing where did you get the wheel and tire and what is the bolt pattern?
AMAZON. check your own bolt pattern. may be different.
@@j.c.smithprojects link please.
I see you are building a tank chicken dumper to go with the chicken bomb shelter.
Great stuff and nice new welding machine. Thanks for sharing!!
JC What about making a reservoir out of an old small air tank, kind of like how they do on a gravel truck, and you could top feed the pump you have and just make a plate with a feed and return drilled and nipples welded in the plate.
Just a thought and then the tank won't dry rot and crack again.
I thought about it but I'm told that particular pump has to be submerged in the hydraulic fluid.
@@j.c.smithprojects oh ok well I know that the companies that make the car lifts also have similar pumps on them as well if that helps
i was finally able to locate a reservoir. it is on its way.
Mr Smith what happened to the 86 International you bought like your dads , was looking forward to some more of that , not that every thing else is not just as good ,👍👍
It's here. Just waiting it's turn
Wassup
Cool build , did it ever get finished?
yep
Sold, I'll take it, when can I pick it up????
might be tough to get this from my wife...
Buy a plastic welder from hobo freight and repair the reservoir?
Have you ever thought about buying a hydraulic punch for your fab work?
no. i didnt think i did a lot of fab work....maybe i do more than i think.
Fabri-cobble… where have I heard that before?
no idea
So what ate the wheel specs
She's going to be flossing on the way to the chicken coop
Hi need some help finding a transmission for a 2007 hino 258
When are you going to put a 4BT in it? lol
wish it had room....there may be another phase to this project later.......
What is the name on this mini truck? We are looking for one.
mitsubishi
More weight, bigger diameter wheels..... weedy engine......nitrous kit?
Diesel?....
JC take a look at Mustie1 channel. He bought a Minitruck with a factory Dump Truck and also 4x4. He seems to be a nice guy and might give some good ideas from the factory solutions.
i believe mustie1 to be a very humble and personable man.
@@j.c.smithprojects Agree. have a nice weekend
Could you not just body lift the cab? No suspension mods required, and it would help keep the body lines for the box, allowing you to build the dump frame as you originally wanted to.
the body is part of this "frame". it doesnt unbolt from one another.
Still tiny truck. Had Datsun once...broke it in half twice.
yeah well....that is the whole idea. mini truck to use on our property
Anyone isn't curious how the truck sounds like with an aftermarket litre bike exhaust?
Professor you should start modifying and sell mini’s -- I’ll take a 4x4 one …. Please sigh it
this project is a neat change of pace but it is tough working with such small and thin metal.
@@j.c.smithprojects does look like your ordinary line of work !! But hey it for mrs jc nothing else to be said !!
she doesnt ask for much. so, when she does...i have to deliver!
With all the metal and weight you are adding to that little you are going to have to do an LS engine swap to get the thing to move. I just love your work.
no gas engines for me......hint hint....
@@j.c.smithprojects My bad, sorry. You will have to drop in a turbo diesel. LOL.
Are these mini trucks street legal?
yes
some are. many are restricted to 35mph and under roads here in ohio.
Where is part 1?
It didnt get put in the play list. in is in it now.
@@j.c.smithprojects Thank you very much. 🙂
👌 p♥r♥o♥m♥o♥s♥m
i had no idea what this was....i looked it up. i am not going top pay for followers. i do what i do and if folks enjoy it and want to watch...great. if they dont, that is just fine too.
Buy a plastic welder from hobo freight and repair the reservoir?
i finally found one. its on its way.
