Building Rear Trailing Arms for a Rock Crawler

Another week of behind the scenes content for you guys, showing the finishing up of the rear suspension on the Bomber Trail Chassis. I was hoping to get both the front and rear suspension finished, but when building stuff from scratch the time can just get away from ya.
I am absolutely in love with how this chassis is turning out, and cannot wait to get it on the trail. I have been dreaming of owning a bomber for years (this is my version of buying a super car) and the more I work on this one, the happier I am with every single decision I have made on this project.

See you guys on Thursday night with this first behind the scenes video of finishing off the trailing arms on the back of the Bomber

[@ateamoffroad1179]

Ian your fabrication skills are top notch. And love the way you explain everything. You can definitely tell you where a teacher.

[@BigTireGarage]

Thanks for watching

[@ateamoffroad1179]

@@BigTireGarage merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@stuartdoss2168]

Very glad to have you back, Ian. I was worried that you might not be doing too well. You’re the best TV wrench I’ve ever seen.

[@michaelw2304]

Reminds me of the xtreme days with Jesse. I appreciate the amount of skill and knowledge you have and share. Thank you

[@jamesfabian2197]

I’ve been watching you since you and Jessi were hosting, may she Rest In Peace. You are my favorite TV host. The way you explain things, your attitude, that crazy hair.lol I’m glad I get to catch you on here and motortrend. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@awhipps]

This is exactly what I always wanted to see from your videos! I hope we get more of this detail.

[@BigTireGarage]

You will be happy then...lots more coming

[@StormbornJKU]

Sick!!! Cannot wait for more KZbin content! Your one of the best out there and it’s always amazing to see what you do.

[@larryhall6416]

Amen brother

[@DirtLifestyle]

Those cut files are amazing 👏. I might have to start utilizing current technology on my builds instead of building everything from scratch lol

[@JohnAnderson-ut6bs]

I feel like you would make good use of a plasma table.

[@BigTireGarage]

They are a game changer.....well worth the money

[@bungieking9468]

Don't go too wild, Nate. Someone has to show us how to get it done with a hammer, saw, rivet gun and a welder. Ian makes amazing, inspirational, stuff but we can't keep our plasma table in the living room or under the bed.

[@OjaiBonsai]

I’m glad I found this. I miss you Saturday mornings glad you’re back

[@BigTireGarage]

You can watch FourWheeler on Motortrend

[@nicholasbaldwin1674]

you posting content makes me happy. been watching you since extreme4x4 days and you always have such great information to share. Thanks!

[@BigTireGarage]

I appreciate that!

[@Warr-Path4X4]

That's pretty funny, I was sitting here looking at the tabs thinking those capture plates that Adam makes would look good on there, that kids got a lot of cool items he makes.

[@JohnAnderson-ut6bs]

10/10 all killer, no filler! Can’t wait to see more of this.

[@caseyespeseth4306]

May not be Saturday mornings anymore but glad to see projects again

[@ChadLisonbee]

That diy off-road is bad ass. Thank you bro!!

[@vicgustafson8514]

Your shop is shrinking. Great video. You have better luck on market place than I do.

[@BigTireGarage]

Yeah...I jump on those deals when I spot them

[@jasonbennett9851]

Loved this format. Unscripted and super informative. 👌

[@d.collier_8280]

Dude, I love your white Yota. Please do another walk-around video of everything that you have done to it

[@BigTireGarage]

Will do

[@rickyn1858]

Love your videos!!!!

[@billseibel2563]

Serious Build Ian. Can't wait to see more.

[@elg1514]

Great stuff/content, thank you!

[@robtrudeau1447]

Can't wait to watch this season!!!!! Amazing fabricator, love how you explain things and the detail you go through..... I think you need some Traverse City Whiskey....How can I send you a bottle?

[@Burke_Motorsports]

I am geeking out watching this video. Makes me wish I had gotten into welding and fab instead of been a trucker.

[@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports]

Super Score on the Axles🤟Love the Yota as well!!

[@BigTireGarage]

Thanks 👍Wait till you see what happens to it next

[@rgllovesdogs70]

Sooooo Friggen Happy The King of All is back on With great Vids. An What a great deal on those Axels Thanks Ian for all you do. Awesome to see u

[@cjleon1104]

Love the new video platform and that your back posting on YT. Question.. how about giving us a overview on that VW type 1? I know it has some history with you and being a owner of a 74 myself I would love to have a closer look, hear the back story, what's been done to it and any future plans for it. Looking forward to the next video, thx.

[@MyLilMule]

Question: Have you or would you ever build a Willys MB or a Ford GPW as a hardcore off road rig? What would you use as a power plant?

[@jimmywubbolt1722]

Keep the video coming man you do nice work

[@henrybrundage7186]

Always enjoy your videos keep them coming

[@wbball15]

This Kevin Tetz sounds like a knowledgeable guy.

[@AGuysGarage]

You are Back?! heck ya, been watching you for a lot of years. Love your work stuff of legend ; P

[@BigTireGarage]

You can catch FourWheeler on Motortrend +

[@nicholascooper1193]

Cool to see you building a Bomber. I agree "my version of a super car".

[@johngrant1337]

great to watch a build

[@inspireonex]

Fred announced Dirt Every Day officially cancelled today so I guess you will be the only thing worth watching on MT.

[@BigTireGarage]

Yeah that was a sad one....I know how he feels I was super sad when my last TV gig died....but you never know what will pop up next

[@jasonplanck1481]

Hi Buddy!

[@bryanomicioli3301]

Good to see someone working with the 99-04 DS60, I’m doing a DS60/sterling 10.5 in my 88 K1500 stepside

[@BigTireGarage]

Its my favorite

[@polarjeep04]

I love your KZbin content. You should collaborate with the dirt heads.

[@BigTireGarage]

I love Fred and Dave....would love to do something with them

[@barneywing9876]

I like the vw beetle in the background!

[@BigTireGarage]

Thanks...its my first car

[@jasonmock518]

I have a question for you about turning a GM corporate 14 into a front differential. I remember watching you do that a long time ago, I was wondering if you had that video

[@coleallen8657]

Glad your back

[@jeffnevius]

Nice to see you at it again.

[@jimt9661]

I really like the attention to detail on your builds. As much as I like the old bang it together and run it stuff, I really like the well thought out engineering on this build. Great work! With the recently announced end of the Dirt Every Day series, I'm glad to see all you offroad guys getting back on KZbin. Motortrend seems to not be supporting you guys in the offroad world like they should.

[@BigTireGarage]

Motortrend is a great partner for FourWheeler, sad about DeD but I am sure we will see Dave and Fred somewhere new soon

[@SMGoertzen]

Do you ever forget which show that you're filming for and who the sponsors are? Love the content regardless.

[@bradinch1563]

hey, what makes me crazy ,is when people are mounting trailing arms and shocks .they use a bolt that the threaded end is in the bolt hole.it fits loose and will just beat that hole out, my way is to get a longer bolt and cut it so it has shank in both side of the mount, then just use a washer or space so the nut will tight out side of the hole, please try this, great videos, fun to watch

[@bradinch1563]

what does pined mean?

[@realplatinum]

Fun video

[@EyalGrossfeld]

Great video Ian. The new camera is good. Sharp picture and good sound quality. I can hear you and understand what you say, both behind and in front of the lens. Was it simple to edit as you thought it would be? Keep on making this content. We love it.

[@BigTireGarage]

Thanks 👍Yes.....this whole process would be happening if it was "hard" to do....the biggest tissue for me is TIME...so being able to knock this stuff out quickly is key.

[@randytravis3998]

The problem I would have with a Plasma water table I live in NY .. you would have to heat the table or the shop too keep the table from freezing .. then there is the problem with the water .. anyone that I have messaged has not answered me what do you do with the dirty water. I was told by a dry table company that the dirty water is considered hazardous waste . when I get the $$ saved up I will get a down draft Plasma table .. would like a 4 x 8 ,, or even a 5 x 10 table ,,I get full size sheets when I buy metal ,, Great video IAN

[@BigTireGarage]

I have my steel supplier chop mine into 4x4's so I can have different thickness available at all times on the table

[@matthewtucker4636]

What platform was the Tacoma build on? I know remember watching it, but can't find it. Thinking it was a Four Wheeler build, but maybe I'm misremembering. Glad to have you back on the Tube

[@BigTireGarage]

It is on Motortrend+ and it will be coming back this season for a pretty cool V8 swap

[@ifitsnotbrokenfixit1193]

How are you liking the fixture fab table? Anything that you don't like about it? I am on the fence about picking one up.

[@BigTireGarage]

Love it...kind of heavy, and I would honestly pefer if it was about 2feet lower

[@ifitsnotbrokenfixit1193]

@@BigTireGarage Thanks for the feedback. I can see that for what you do.

[@Scout_Shitbox]

What was that independent rig next to the bomber? I could seem to figure it out

[@lunkydog]

I didn't realize your bug was that late model.

[@rogg5204]

So is there a pretty short time from filming to the episode going live on Fourwheeler? It looks like it’s in about the same state as the most recent episode. Or is this just older footage that you are dropping in sync with the four wheeler show progress?

[@BigTireGarage]

There is about a 3 month lead time from shooting to airing....but in between I often have other stuff to do...so some stuff gets taken care of right away....and sometimes a project will sit for a month before I get to work on it.

[@jonkowalski8190]

How long are the rear lower links? I’m building a bomber too!

[@DownNDirty_OffRoad]

How much do these rear arms weigh?

How tall can that hair get? Seems to defy gravity!

I keep it around this height......it fluctuates a little

[@danielharrah9984]

My primeweld plasma cutter is 60 amp and has the plasma table capability. Do you think 60 amp is enough for this kind of work or should I buy the recommended 80 amp that the table manufacturer sells for it at a hefty price?

[@BigTireGarage]

Yes...mine is a 60amp and its fine
