5 Reasons You NEED To Build A Bumper Like This! Tea Party Land Rover Part 8

[@gzrgldr8288]

The biggest reason that I started following Bleepin Jeep originally was because Matt did builds using budget friendly parts and processes without lifts and other things that most of us don't have access to. I know you have some nicer tools now, but always loved how you kept it budget friendly and explain why you do things the way you do.

[@ColoradoAdventureClub]

Colt I love the new tech stuff!!! CAD has been life changing for my self, highly recommend learning Fusion. Once you understand what each thing does, drawing up stuff is a breeeze!! I aslo want people to know this stuff isnt rocket science or that expensive!!!

[@rightwingmanscott]

It is really coming together awesome. I love your old school approach. I grew up with limited funds and it was always a use what you got. 45 years later and fortunately I can now just write a check for stuff but I still go back to my roots. A sense of satisfaction.

[@survivingminnesota8381]

I just have to tell you how much I enjoy the teaching of skills and explanations of what and why you do what your doing.

[@brucea822]

🤣🤣

[@donhokenson3419]

I always enjoy your Fab skills. No instructions or directions can beat the Vision in your mind. Awesome job my friend!

[@coltbuildsit]

Appreciate that!

[@davidbreaux5989]

Great job on the bumper, great explanations of why you do it the Colt way

[@RH-in-UK]

I'm a Brit, ex-soldier and Land Rover fan since the 1960s. We, Peter Raphael and I a set up a Land Rover / Mini Cooper garage in Tangier, Morocco, North Africa - ostensibly to service the vehicles of the local Princess Lala Fatima Zohra - but that contract never really materialised. We persevered and bought the lease on a small hotel - taking on a third partner who knew a lot more about the catering business. The garage and hotel businesses flourished we sold them, dissolved the businesses and went out separate ways. I set up a business with several Land Rovers (plus a supply truck) supporting oil exploration in Algeria, Niger, Mali and Mauritania - effectively providing remote mobile (tented) hotel and laboratory accommodation, totally sufficiently, for up to 6 to 8 weeks at a time until we returned to semi-civilisation for re-supply. I sold the business in 1975 and continued exploration in Asia - but that's another story.

[@coltbuildsit]

Sounds like a wild time. Well, we will need those rover cheers when it comes to the offroad games!

[@RH-in-UK]

"Rover" made family sedan cars whereas "Land Rover" make off road vehicles like your "Discovery"

[@s7courier]

Thanks, Colt, he produced another very instructional video. One to watch for sure. Thanks

[@joshsanderson1568]

Best off-road fab channel on the tube! Everything is shown in a way beginners and seabed pros alike can relate to!

[@coltbuildsit]

Appreciate the support!

[@tracydawson8107]

Thanks for bumper design features. The detailed reasons for the features add valve to this video. Good work!

[@coltbuildsit]

Glad it was helpful!

[@steveschmitt5137]

Looked easy for you. Very talented Colt. Thanks for sharing, and stay safe.

[@MoaByte-v2z]

Perfect timing. It so happens I need this advice as I'm trying to design a tube bumper for a late model Hijet mini-truck. Wish you were my neighbor.

[@coltbuildsit]

You can do it!

[@KennyM-ge7up]

Your knowledge and fab skills are amazing Great job of explaining the process cant wait to see it in action

[@timdavis4282]

The difference between a good cook and a great cook a good cook doesn’t make mistake mistakes a great cook knows how to cover up! Good job keep it up

[@davidbutler5114]

I love that you have your wife on the channel, now my wife watches with me. "Colt Does Happy Marriage Content!!!!!!!"

[@kjjeep2718]

this is turning out great, looking forward to seeing the videos from the off road games.

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you Colt for the update on the Tea Party !

[@coltbuildsit]

I'm glad you like it!

[@MarkoMygun]

Great job Colt this build is RAD and your shop is lookin RAD also. Would love to have it ,God Bless.

[@viperfritz4618]

Can't wait to see you and your rig Competing at the Offroad Games this year.

[@coltbuildsit]

We're excited

[@pattkinder612]

Excellent fab class.😉 👍 Your shop time always teaches me something useful. Thanks, Colt.

[@snakeskinproductions7500]

Great video. Just wanted to add, I feel your pain with the barking dog. My neighbor across the street has 2 basset hounds that they let bay from 6 AM to 8 PM. I feel like there's a fox hunt going on all day long. Now where did I put that BB gun?...🤣

[@katreniaclark]

Morning Colt, I posted up about your bumper about an hour ago on your facebook post about it. I do like this "bumper" that you have made but for me i would have gone back along the frame rails. You might want to cut the tube you use in half length wise and weld it in as a protector for that drain tube. These are just suggestions.

[@tarrevizsla9543]

Just a thought, but would it have been easier to CNC Plasma the radii for the tube on your frame mounts? JW

[@Kevins-offroading.]

I love this build Colt. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@dutchloveRC]

Shes coming along nicely guys

[@shaneharrison4775]

God bless you both be safe out there 🙏

[@599miata]

Nice job there.

[@christopherthompson4359]

Bumper looks good, any plans for a winch. Considering the trails that are planned for the Games just made me curious.

[@coltbuildsit]

I think I'll just need to send it harder if I need a winch😉👍

[@jimwheat4551]

We use Qcam too, with sheet cam to set the g code for our plasma table. It’s a really nice program for the money. Hope your son is enjoying our weather here in Laramie

[@pastordarwin]

Excellent job. Question: are you thinking of a tow point as well for the front? Thank you very much for your content, attitude, and explanations! Oops, should have waited a minute!!! Thanks again, LOL ...

[@timnewby115]

Colt you do a great job explaining what you are doing. Keep it up. What about a winch?

[@coltbuildsit]

I thought about it but for a jalopy competition I think it'll be a winner take all situation and no time for winching. But I can always add a winch mount or removable winch mount later

[@JimFitzgerald-yd7fh]

Awesome job Colt looking good👍

[@TheGrateful55]

Since the plasma cutter is in metric, does that mean the 10mm is missing?

[@jperreault5062]

Looking great and excited to see you guys getting into CNC plasma and 3d printers. Once you get the hang of CAD it'll become second nature. 3d scanners are also cheap enough now to enter the garage. Currently working my way through a TJ back half with that toolset. So much nicer to sort out fuel cell/axle travel/bumpstops. As for the rollcage clearance, agreed you're away from the hardpoints. But the whole approach makes me nervous with non offroad drivers at the wheel. Are you guys running helmets and arm tethers? Head strike on a cage bar could be fatal. More than one newbie put their hand out the window on a near rollover last year. Don't mean to sound uptight, but really don't want bad things to ruin a great event.

[@gb1613]

Yeah I'd definitely recommend spending the time to do this even if you need to take a class at the local community college or something. It will open up so many possibilities and save so much time.

[@professorfalken4600]

Safety glasses are a must on the drill press

[@BAKE440]

Great video you make building stuff like this look so easy!

[@mrmongo6722]

Nice work and better that you explain your reasoning.

[@charlesjones3685]

I thought you were over building this jolopy, but then I saw mini mater lol

[@freeidaho-videos]

Love the accurate bending! Bumper center very strong. Bumper wings very weak.

[@steven.h0629]

Getting some fun tools in there 👍😎✊

[@mikemchaney1003]

You can change the units of measurement in the Eastwood control panel from metric to imperial. Eastwood has a quick video on it.

[@brianjones3245]

Those plates look familiar. Lol. Did you get them from Instel? I got some like that for my Tacoma bumper build too. And I also literally got a Bambu Labs P1S printer too. I been having fun with it. Looks like you got the Carbon model. I bought a bunch of Glue sticks for it. But mine came with a textured bed plate and it looks like you also have the textured plate. I read that the textured plate does not need any glue. So far I been having great results without using the glue. So that might save you some change and labor. I just keep it cleaned by wiping it with alcohol. I also found it easier to remove done projects by pulling up and removing the bed plate. And giving it a litte flex and the project pops off easily.

[@shannondueling7697]

Love your informative builds and how to save $, also came to be that guy and say that not St. Helen's it was Old Faithful at Yellowstone. But im sure you already knew that but I just felt like being that douche this morning! 😂

[@christophersells9146]

Wish we could post pictures of Are Home made bumpers.. Look Rad Sir...😊

[@timothycarey3883]

The weld seam splits on the outside because weld is much harder and cant stretch

[@aaronscott2278]

Loving the thumbnail 🔥

[@TheOldaz1]

Big improvement.

[@StanleyKubick1]

the rig looks awesome, great work. I think you're wrong about the horizontal bar coming off the A-pillar, let's hope we never find out

[@DurtySailor]

Should do some limb risers from the cage to the bumper just for the look

[@coltbuildsit]

Funny, i actually thought about that too

[@terrywhitlock3991]

Love that y’all have a scripture at the end of the video 🙌🏼

[@tonysanturro9354]

I would love to make it fit on my Colorado

[@garychaiken808]

Great job. Thank you 😊

[@wanaberanch]

Good info, thank you!

[@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports]

Sweet Bumper! The first thing I thought of when I saw the finished bumper was ... Nate from #dirtlifestyle would have put dimple die holes in the skid plate 😄😄😄

[@coltbuildsit]

Not in the 1/4" plate, lol

[@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports]

@ Yeah probably not 😆😆😆

[@bobtucker8875]

Great content bro. Truly enjoyed watching. Tks 👍

[@markwagstaff947]

I love your Chanel and your content

[@robertr4193]

Pretty cool.

[@rosendofj40bigblock7]

I need that bumper

[@keithtownsend3352]

Hey colt was curious what size your welder is and what size wire you run? I've been welding for years with fluxcor and switching to gas.

[@mottorcyle5052]

The weld on the tube is harder and won't stretch like the formed steel.

[@mike-pl8sn]

New shop is awesome. New bumper is awesome.

[@eirikerickson110]

Another great video!

[@rileysan2k2]

I don't understand why you don't have 500k subscribers, Colt! Great work as always!

[@coltbuildsit]

Thanks! I'm just trying to do my thing

.25 cents a lb is super cheap, last time I bought steel it was .35 cents a lb and that was back in the early 2000's.

[@Gantzz321]

Tea Cup hood oniment, laying on its side with tea pouring out of it

[@emilevoyer123]

Thanks for the great video.

[@marlobreding7402]

Have you ever considered making your big box rocksliders into air tanks for reserve air to quickly air up the tires. I've seen it done.

[@CORNDODGER]

HA HA YOUR DOG I was about to go out and yell at mine!!!!

[@galeng73]

25¢/lb is a pretty good price for steel!

[@glenludwig5135]

Great video ……. Again !!!

[@ST_RC]

Make it a bobble head!! haha

[@jasonblaschka6216]

Colt, you can slit a piece of tube in half, weld a couple of ears on it and protect that one exposed line.

[@timdevries39]

Just FYI pretty handy with CAD and 3D printing so if you need somthing let me know. I use ASA for stuff inside the cab and even in the engine bay. I have also printed stand offs to plasitc weld back onto broken dash components.

[@FredieFarmer60]

👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 looking good. Should work

[@schweglerd]

Pretty sure that was ol faithful

[@Golden-69]

Need a pull point in the front. Put a pool noodle inside by your big head😅 you never know.

[@DJ63phx]

Colt Since somebody brought that light bar bracket to you saying Hey, you should fix that. You should fix it because now it's there and you know about it, it's gonna get you. Round off the corners.

[@mikemccabe7124]

i always keep the seem out of sight as in if its a bumper tube then i put the seem on the side facing the front of truck so no one can see the seam lookin at it from in front of the rig cuz the seams kissin the grill

[@carterhart5435]

I drove a 1st gen Disco for years. No need for a bumper, they don't go that fast and the death wobble slows it right down if you get up to a reasonable speed. Just need a tow point, the wrecker should have their own winch so you don't need that either. I would concentrate on keeping it cool so it doesn't self destruct. If you get a good one the Disco is a beast, get a bad one it will be a burden.

[@flyingmachinecustomparts8227]

Good deal 👌

[@cottdale]

We have clearance, Clarence.

[@Tanner731]

18:00 I get your point about the harnesses stopping you from going that far forward but that's absolutely untrue about passenger cars. just always wear your harness and no issue

[@rodneyclements6190]

Are you going to put some hood vents in to increase the cooling factor?

[@darrinstone49]

Can you run a truetrack or lunchbox front locker? Aren't the spiders the weak point in the stock Landcruiser axles. What's the plans for the Pacer now?

[@donhappel9566]

Trutrack, Detroit, ARB, Ashcroft (air), and a couple others are all available for the Rover axle. And you probably know this, but not a land cruiser....that's a yota. Land Rover. Sorry, had to do it.

[@cowpolk.]

The Boston tea party didn't turn out so good for the brits did it ?

[@andretinker1109]

Hi, the sticking print on the printbed you get better off by taking that with the magnetic flex plate out of the printer and just bend it a little.

[@petehansen1846]

Head space to light bracket will be quite different rolling and upside down. Still a concern.

[@mikebougher3731]

$.25 a pound is a damn good price for steel scraps. We have a yard near me that buys industrial equipment and metals. Last time I was there it was $.55 a pound.

[@EvanMoon]

Cardboard “the original CAD system”

[@jimhewitt1273]

I would add a tube from the end of the bumper to the frame.

[@brianboys9015]

Be Gracious everyone ! Cool,

[@richardcarnahan6335]

The reason it doesn’t split when you put the seam on the inside is because the metal is compressed when bent. When you put them seam on the outside the metal is stretched. With the seam being the weakest point in the tube.

[@jeromeknasinski3862]

That was Old Faithful Not Mount St. Helens

[@alraybaca6235]

Nice 👏👌👍

[@konradpanduram4576]

Needs a winch on that bumper!

[@coltbuildsit]

Jalopys are made to be sent not towed

[@kimberlyvaughan3430]

I like it. Your moto is like mine, haha 🤣

[@scottswartz6619]

Psalm 67:1 Amen

[@dalerose1694]

Colt, I really enjoy seeing you putting the Bible verse at the end of year videos. I just thought maybe you should read them God bless.
