    I came across this video in the worst mood ever. And I'll be this guys excitement over some wheels and tires put a smile on my face. I'm happy for dude. To see where he's come from shirtless, worn out jigsaw blade cutting 1.5" thick baffles for some 18's in a 2 door to where he is now and he's never lost his good spirit and his love for car audio. If I wasn't homeless and broke I'd love to donate to his Patreon. EXO thanks for the smile Man. Keep doing your thing man. You deserve all the love in the world.

    The grooves in the rotors are called “slots”....those rings at the end of the video look like hub centric rings...they go on the inside of the wheel to help center the wheel on the hub ...this reduces unwanted vibrations while driving

    • @JasonWW2000
      @JasonWW2000 2 роки тому

      No, they are actually load bearing. The weight of the vehicle is transfered to the inner ring of the rim. If the rim bore is too large you will have all the weight transfered to the wheel studs. A little driving and a few potholes and the studs will shear off and you'll lose a wheel. I've seen it happen many times.

  • @athotboy5050
    @athotboy5050 3 роки тому

    Exo is on point, I love it. He explains things so well, which for people like me with OCD makes his videos very entertaining. There's usually a 1:4 rule of thumb, which is every 1 lb you save in unsprung weight equals to about the same as taking 4 lbs of sprung weight out of the vehicle. Adding a heavier tire could've potentially furthered the limit of the amount of equipment that could've been held in the back, since it will already be so close to its weight limit.

    I've been following this build since ep. 1. It's refreshing to watch someone do what they truly love. You've inspired me to do what I can with my builds. I can't wait to see the end result of this behemoth! I hope to be able to get a demo if I make it to the shows. It would by far be the biggest build I have sat in. Keep doing you, you're good at it!

  • @I1S1337
    @I1S1337 3 роки тому +5

    Small tip, when jacking up a vehicle with a solid rear axle you should Jack it up from the differential (not the frame) and put your Jack stands on the axle, this avoids unnecessary strain on the opposing wheel and suspension components. The frame is fine when using a lift. Just wanted to share my input as a tech. Love your vids and I’m excited to see the outcome of your project.

    • @kevind5508
      @kevind5508 3 роки тому +1

      At least he used gloves when installing the new pads and rotors. Small step that's usually missed. 100 percent though always go under the axle.

    Someone may have already mentioned this, but make sure to re-torque the lug nuts after a couple of days. Since this is your first set of aftermarket aluminum rims, I wanted you to know that they have a tendency to "loosen" up after driving a bit. Not all do, but many do. Just check them to be safe. Looks great, man!

  • @mhrepoman
    @mhrepoman 3 роки тому

    I would look into doing some suspension upgraded. At the very minimum, I'd upgrade to bilstein shocks, and when you choose the shocks I would get the 5100, but if you get the 5125 series, you can get them in different valving. I'd get firmer valving. Then, I would get front and rear upgraded sway bars. Finally in the rear because of how much weight you have added in the structure, along with all of that wood, not to mention all of the weight you're going to add in audio equipment, I would get some rear leaf spring helpers. You could do airbags, but there is a system I'd recommend called the "roadmaster active suspension." It will help you carry the weight without riding like junk! Awesome build man! Very well thought out and executed!

    Next time you use Jack stands remember they need to be on a flat surface on the frame, your backup stands would of failed because they were located on the upward angles on the frame

    • @erikanderson3633

  • @SuperKanuuna

    Hey Exo, car guy here! If you want all benefits out from your big brake kit, updgrade also if possible, your brake master cylinder setup for bigger one

    • @austinsears1637
      @austinsears1637 3 роки тому

      That and also upgrade to stainless braided brake lines. All that with an upgraded master cylinder equals such much comfort and safety while behind the wheel, knowing that just if and when some yackass decides to pull out in front of you, that you're able to put the stop down n stop on a quarter hopefully hahaha I say quarter bcuz dimes are for formula 1 cars I suppose!? Hahaha idfk wtf hahaha but yeah n e ways broski good luck!!!

  • @McLennox
    @McLennox 3 роки тому +2

    Okay, so let's talk about unsprung weight. Wheels and tires are a key part of unsprung weight, and the benefits for reducing it are insane. In the performance car world, reducing unsprung weight has exponential gains. I've heard that losing 40lbs of unsprung weight is the equivalent of losing 80lbs of sprung weight. The more you know.
    Also: it would have been really cool to see the before/after of the sliding door with the new setup

    • @Bob_Smith19
      @Bob_Smith19 3 роки тому

      It’s a van not a sports car. He reduced unsparing weight and reduced the resilience of the wheels at the same time. It’s easy to bend a steel wheel in a loaded van. Aluminum is going to bend a whole lot easier I’ve been driving a fully laden van at work for over two decades. Wheels bend easier than you think.

  • @j3llymantv56
    @j3llymantv56 3 роки тому

    Lookin good Exo, I want to say that you should properly break in your brakes, you can do that by getting up to about 45-50 mph than stepping on the brakes hard, not enough to lock them up but close. Do this 3 times with about 2 minutes between each time you step on the brakes. Also the other brakes that were behind the rotor is the emergency brake. Love the videos man, keep up the amazing work.

    Project farm did a video about rust protectants that recommended crc after a bunch of tests. That is all I would personally do with the drive shaft. It sprays on and forms a semi-hard gloss that reacts and soaks into the rust.

    Nice dude. Those are some pretty sweet new shoes for the ride! It's actually pretty amazing that you got bigger wheels and tires and kept the same weight. BTW wheels and tires and anything else that isn't supported by the springs is unsprung weight. It CAN affect the suspension and even the ride.

  • @noodleeees
    @noodleeees 3 роки тому

    If you want to chrome the lettering on those method letters, the best recommendation that I can think of would be using a Molotow Chrome marker, it is a quick and simple solution to silver chroming that looks great. Past that spritsing some Alclad II Lacquers Gloss Klear Kote ACL310 will seal it off for a long lasting shine.

  • @mikeruizxd5534
    @mikeruizxd5534 3 роки тому

    Great van so far! BUT I highly RECOMMEND taking it to a wheel alignment shop or tire shop and have the speedometer corrected for the size tires and rims. They have a computer that they plug in the and they fix it to the new size. I put bigger rims on my Toyota RAV4 and I got pulled over on the interstate and got a ticket because they said I was going 5 miles over. I had completely forgot.

  • @happystar1000
    @happystar1000 3 роки тому

    Impressed with your level of technical knowledge, and trying to think of everything possible consideration. The build is coming along great! The cage imo, could have been done with angle iron though, so that you could mount larger pieces of wood on them, giving you easier access to work as well. and then you could have done further metal bracing after mounting the wood. But regardless, your plan is looking really well thought out and I love the results.

  • @Gmpro02
    @Gmpro02 3 роки тому +2

    just a safety tip, when using jack stands, you want to have them up against a flat surface, the backup stands you had in place would just end getting pushed over by the angle on the frame rail, and once a jack stand starts to tip over, there is almost no way to stop it, especially once the weight of vehicle shifts to follow the jack stand down

    One way to get the hub center lettering in silver - paint the whole center silver, then when it sets, paint it black all over and when that has set then rub off the black paint back to the silver beneath. If there was a way to do a hard chrome finish that would be ideal. Just a thought, I'm no painting expert. But there's always a way!
