I used to work in machining and admire the sharp tooling you use. Thanks for your interesting work and clear commentary Tom.
3:13 TOOL ABUSE! Minus 10 points off your final grade. For shame Tom, for shame! 😂😅😢
I have limited repair skills when it comes to vehicles and zero build skills but I like watching you do it! This truck looks like it's going to be wicked!
Top of the mornin TomTom
I'm surprised that you not putting in a strut rod (or two) to tie the hoops together over the top of the engine... 4 more tabs, a couple of bolts, and some tube and heim joints make it "preloadable" and removable... could also be done with roll cage connectors...
I was wondering about side-to-side forces on the hoops. The attachments to the frame are enough?
I have no proof but I've heard your blades will last longer if you adjust the depth of cut to just over what you're cutting.
Besides it's safer you don't have all that exposed blade under your cut. Love your videos Tom!
Hi TOM TOM From New Zealand the WIZARD of 4X4 trucks
Great video, with lots of detail and explanations. LOL, if my high school math teacher (1972) had shown me a video like this demonstrating a practical use of the formulas, I would have done much better in class! Hear that Miss Crews!? 😀
I look forward to your videos every week. Thanks for the math review...it's these little things that make your build so much more interesting. It's nice to know the 'why's' of things. Keepem' coming TomTom!
Nothing better than caliper abuse on a Saturday morning! Great work Tom!
I love the content. You explain how and why. And give examples. The truck is coming along amazingly. Keep it up.
That sign... 9 13/32 km/h‽ It doesn't even work out even! It's like 5.8MPH... What the heck, Tom‽
all those fractals...I just can't understand how you can make sense of any of that non-standard mess of measurements...
Awesome job Tom!
Can’t wait to be able to purchase the angle grinder kit!👍🏻
@ 0:40, Actually I was thinking, 'did he fire six shots or only five?'
Dude this truck is coming along so nice! I’m excited to see the finished product!!
Question: How do you factor in the amount of force that the hoop shock towers will handle ? By the way, nice design .
There is a high pitch noise in your Recent videos
Glad to hear you're working on a grinder stand kit for sale on your site!
I like you method of explanations.
Morning Tom Tom thanks for the video
this is my favorite video of y’all
Good channel Tom ! All fab , no blab .
Your attention to detail is awesome
IM READY TO SEE SOME RIDING VIDEOS!
Nice fabrication tom
Hi Tom Tom and DigDoug
Thanks Tom Tom!!!
😊
Hey guys I asked about the bracket that holds your grinder ? Do you sell those ?
He’s working on it. He will sell them eventually.
I really enjoy your videos. A couple of suggestions: In an effort to create more space where the Brake Booster is you might want to consider using a GM Hydro Boost Unit and corresponding Master Cylinder and Power Steering Pump which is far more space efficient. Also with the Dana 60 Front Axle - these use significantly larger Brake Calipers and you'd probably enjoy the added Braking Capacity provided by the Hydro Boost Unit. With respect to the Vintage Air System - I hope they've improved on these aftermarket AC units - I installed a similarly designed ARA Unit years ago in a Chevy Square Body back when we could still use R-12 and it just barely kept up with outside Temps over about 85 degrees. I'm curious how a unit using R134A (which isn't that efficient without a MASSIVE Accumulator under the dash) is going to work. Remember, happy comfortable wife, happy life. On the other side, you're also going to need a Heater Box Assembly. The OEM Square Body Units are pretty compact and they include the Defrost ducting so if you're looking to save a LOT of fabricating, that might be a better way to go - that is if you can still find new Heater Cores for them.
Feel like I've been watching Matt, Rory, and Tom for the last couple years and they are cruising around without AC and working in 100 degree weather for most of the day anyways. I'm thinking even an insufficient AC would be a step up, haha
The hoop to frame welding connection appears insufficient when compared to the bulletproof shock tab design.
Any thoughts on making the bottom as bulletproof as the top of the hoop?
I feel like the design probably isn't done yet. It seems like having a stiff set of shocks mounted to those hoops could cause quite a bit of flex. Maybe they'd be fine if the shocks are angled basically parallel with the hoops, but if they're going straight up or down, or angled the wrong way, the force applied with such a moment arm would lead to fatigue and failure of the weld joints along the frame. I'm sure Tom has a plan and will make sure it's nice and stout, though!
Where can a guy get one of those angle grinder bench brackets? (I asked this before the end. Looking forward to plans or something)
Also, why send cut send? Where’s your cnc plasma table?
I dunno if he's got one, I don't think I've seen one on this channel, but sendcutsend does get better tolerances than you're ever likely to get with a plasma table and they'll also clean and deburr stuff or do bending or coatings, and their price is reasonable, so for a lot of people the cost of getting things done and nice is offset by labor savings.
Tom makes them
Tom Tom, I'm just learning to weld, having problems adjusting my shield darkness so I can see what n where I'm welding. As of now all I get is the bright glow, can't see my bead. Any suggestions 🤔
Does your helmet have batteries? Maybe they need changed.🤔
If you're getting too much light from behind you, it can create glare on the inside of the helmet and effect how well/ poorly you see your work.

You could have put a tube inside before you capped the ends.
Gonna add a removable brace to those shock towers or just raw-dog the fatigue on those very long lever arms trying to twist up your frame rails?
Granted, the force looks like a lot of it is going *mostly* inline, but I still feel like the support would be a good idea if it'll fit under the hood.
I’m 100% sure he’s incorporating his cage and at least one cross tube into those towers..they wouldn’t last one romp though the desert without substantial bracing.
about bending -- why does no one on Utube discuss elastic zone vs plastic zone?? everybody just calls it 'springback', and gauges it based upon experience or somebody else's chart. i would have thought an engineer would have calculated it....
I think as long as Trump becomes president. By then your jeep will also be ready. Then go along at the swearing-in ceremony.
I love your fabricating and builds, your theories and planning are what I love the most. Without that nothing comes together
