I really like how this guy just showed up out of no where, put out some banger videos on pipefitting & welding and then just started posting other stuff on his channel instead. never elaborated, never looked back.

19:49 look at that fucking gap bro. goddamn that's clean.

How hard is it to physically crimp with this tool? It looks like these will fit in places the big plier looking type won't. I'm looking at these and a clamper. I just feel the clamps would be better.

Thank you sir and have a blessed day America

we could not figuer this out for nothing spent more time on it then hooking up the water heater thank you so much

Sweet and short with no anoying back ground noise. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

if i replaced the bevel gears will some parameters change? can i set them with aev? thanks

Great video, thank you 👍🏻

Great video man! I have a pair you can come weld up for me.

What rod and thickness do you use? And was 75 amps good enough or would you do more? I heard it should be high Nickle rod.

Thanks, our instructor referred us to your videos for our pipe class, very helpful!

Upol is not conductive. I sprayed it - failed to spot weld. Checked with ohm meter- had zero continuity. Almost forty bucks for one can. Had to clean it off with brake cleaner to weld.

nice welds

I know this video is super old but hopefully someone can answer my question! I installed the Level 8 Bully Pro on my Jeep Wrangler back in 2017. Now 7 years later (2024), my current mounted tire are worn out and need to be replaced. My question is: Do I need to remove the rim protector to replace the tires? Or will it be possible to replace my tires without needing to remove the rim protector? I haven't touched those screws since I installed them 7 years ago and even thought they haven't corroded much, I'm not sure I want to deal with removing 100 of them! Thanks!

Thanks so much! Welding mine up now!

Outstanding video...thank you very much!

So was the only purpose for a high lift to use it as a winch when you don’t have a winch? I was thinking you would use it to jack the car up and sort of drop it forward.

just was offered a job as a traveling pipe welder for an industrial refrigeration company. wonder if its the same one. Are you still there? its like this video was made for me. No real fitter experience but im capable enough, and am using this time leading up to my first trip to crash course myself. Any other tips/advice on what to expect?

I used zinc Seymour today painting between 1/8 reinforcement plates and subframe pick up point in a bmw e46 rear subframe and it was absolutely horrible. I was Mig welding. And I’m a seasoned welder and this is by far the worst weld through I tried. Thanks for this video it was a help. I’m gonna give steel it and the copper stuff a try.

hey great video! do yall by chance remember what size DOM you used for the shaft extension? Thanks!

I developed Dow Chemical’s specification for welding galvanized steel in 1985 as per the requirements of AWS D1.1. And AMSE Sec IX. In a nutshell, burn the galvanizing off all sides of the weldment by at least 2” followed by grinding the ash off to bright metal. At that time all structural steel was coming into our Midland MI plant galvanized so it was obvious a qualified specification needed to be developed. The first serious problem of only grinding off the galvanized was that the zinc contaminated the grinding wheels, smearing the zinc. When zinc is heat to melting it drives into surface imperfections and-as the heat is increased to over 1200*F cracking is caused from the action of the zinc contamination remaining. This was discovered when fitters were bending 3/4” U-bolts from galvanized rod. They ground the galvanizing off visually and heated the rods to bend. During bending these rods ALL CRACKED and BROKE very similar to stress corrosion cracking. When I had the fitters burn the galvanizing off and grind the ash off to bright metal, no cracking occurred!

The question is whether the primer maintains it's rust protection characteristics. Good old rustoleum high heat primer (2000 degrees) is the old stand by. bare metal where you weld but primed back sides.

crazy

Dude, Bravo. I'm a pipe fitter and a pipe welder. I love how you explain everything 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I've been using Eastwood, but the nozzle clogs almost immediately. Super frustrating...

great video man, i learned hella and i dont even own a jeep haha great information tho

I just ordered some upper control arms for my jeep and will make sure it has the upgraded threads!!! Thanks for this Im always wary about rough country parts as I had a super bad experience with them on my TJ and XJ bushings I have been running Thier lower control arm on my JK for a long time now and have had 0 issues

Thanks , time to expand my 0.001mm room

GET YOUR DEALER TO DO IT FOR FREE. For 2007-2011 Wranglers, there is a recall on this. Check the two NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V288000 and 13V176000. My dealership was going to charge me $1600+ for a new airbag on my 2011 Jeep Wrangler. I had to ask 3 different advisors to have the "technician" check the clockspring first. They finally checked and replaced the clockspring under the recall with no cost to me.

Just finished! Thank you, as your descriptions and tips were spot on.

Thanks for the video.

Are you using AC polarity?

Well done video. I am getting ready to build a retaining wall basically covering rock wall that has been falling apart. I am using 3/8"x 3"x3" 4'-6' tall galvanized angle(posts) I am going to weld to 3/8"x4"x6" galvanized plate(bottom plate). I was a naval shipyard weldor for 25 years and am retired but am confident I can accomplish this. I sold my commercial welding equipment but still own a Maxstar140ST which should suffice for this. As you suggested I will be stick welding after cleaning the material. I purchased some acid to remove the galvanizing where I am welding. Not a good idea to burn any zinc and breath it but sometimes we had to and were instructed to drink milk when we got sick from it. We sometimes worked in tanks with inadequate ventilation and I remember stick welding stainless steel, nickel copper, copper nickel alloys which gave me headaches.

too darkness, i did not see anithing!!!!

Not a jeep dude but who doesn’t love off-road! I am about to weld up a 4-link in my sons D21. Thanks for sharing the knowledge and detailed pro tips from actual experience. Priceless baby. Appreciate you

I did find out with this wire if your getting wormtracks, leave the roll somewhere warm for a couple days, it totally eliminates the worm tracks

Thank you so much for this insight. I was struggling yesterday and found this video and worked like a charm

I just search for a dana 30 3.73. if the axels where 250 to 450 they are now 3000 to 4000

Great video! I'm getting ready to start the same project. It really helped.

Can this be done with a 110v mig welder?

So no alignment bar needed if the differential is fully assembled ? Reason I ask is because I am about to weld 8.8 housing for drag /street application and wanted to minimize any chance of distorting the differential using to tubes.

Awesome, well done edit and speed up in mundane spots. I’m In the middle of welding mine up with all new brackets and truss . Adjusting the pinion angle with stock CV drive shaft to double cardon adams DS only makes the springs bow worse. I think I’ll mock my axle up with just new Clayton control arms, het perfect pinion angle for the adams, then take three angle measurements of the bump stop base. Full droop, 50% compressed and full compression. The 50% compression angle should be 1/2 the difference of the suspensions arc. That is where the spring perch gets set angle wise. It don’t need to be perfect tho.. just functional , look right, and no interference within suspension s travel.

I am doing this job from 2014 in Florida, I didn’t know nothing about this, but working hard, learning everything from each coworker I got it, nice video

Looking clean 10/10send it

Is that a gas hot water heater looks like a vent on top

Great edit, and bada** trailer setup.

Try welding 1.2 mm square tubing 50x50 mm. Let's see of you gonna grind it still

Awesome video!

Thanks!! Saved me some cash!

Do these brackets sit on the axle tubes at a angle like the original brackets I order some from another manufacturer but they sit straight I have stock bushings on my control arms and they don’t flex like heim joint to work with straight brackets
