CHASSIS MIG WELDING Frame Extension & RAMP DECK BUILD COE CAR HAULER Tow Truck

[@hamairman6840]

I really enjoy your music selections. This video and previous.

[@murdoc6501]

Was amazed by the size of the project when you started (literally)! Now as it's coming together, it's MASSIVE! A monster trucker for the mother tucker! Go Japhands, keep moving forward!

[@MakeItKustom]

Hahaha 😝 ya man this things BIG lol thanks for watching!

[@caseyspirit9385]

Love seeing this coming together! Can’t wait to see it finished! Thanks for the video.

[@tbranscom1]

Be careful when you are moving around that heavy metal! i built a car hauler back in 2013 and didn't have any help with the plating for the bed ended up messing up my back moving it myself and haven't been the same since. Love the show, cant wait to see this thing haulin custom rods.

[@raynyhus2026]

Once we screw up our backs, we're never the same. Trust me I know. 2 rods thru my thorax and another 2 in the lumbar. My was due to lifting heavy artillery shells for 20 years and thinking my body was still only 20 yrs old. Stay strong and use an inversion table if you can hang upside down. Rember to mount your TV upside down, messes with your brain. Those table are a God send, we'll worth $250.

[@daverayasr.6287]

So Kool. Perfect timing. I'm building a wedge hauler Winnebago right now.

[@professorfalken4600]

Great project

[@dancarter482]

Spent hours today doing some basic welding and even longer grinding back the mess I'd made. Now they look good enough to hide! Man that thing is AWESOME and those welds are works of art. If I grow up, I want to learn to weld like that!

[@joecioe8566]

Nice work, looks great, looking forward to seeing this finished

You'll get it done, because it has to! Love the design. best of luck my friend. It'll turn out trick. Deadlines help but hurt sometimes. I'm tuning in to see what's next in the build.

[@larrylilly2552]

Great planning and fab work

[@danielstickney2400]

You know someone is a good man when he takes time out from his work to be kind to an old dog. I was also taught to always level, plumb and square your workpiece no matter what that workpiece may be. Humans have an intrinsic sense of plumb and level and when you start square odds are you'll stay square.

[@Shiryas]

I saw Roscoe get up and then hobble over, thinking, 'Oh man someone got footage of me getting out of bed in the morning'. Glad he has a happy loving home, woof!

[@mattkaiser4836]

I’m digging this build

Man the swing on the back of that frame is going to be huge!

[@timweidner3335]

Great project but I love that Zephyr!!!

[@malcolmyoung7866]

I've been watcing Make it Kustom since the beginning because I like dogs and Rosco is the star of the show...only relaised theres a bloke who does 'Kustom' work on this channel too...thats a double win...

[@37FordGuy]

Truck is looking awesome Karl. I’ve really enjoyed this entire series right from when you first bought the cab. It’s going to be amazing when it’s done. You may want to think about a headache rack behind the cab tho…

[@MakeItKustom]

Ya I agree ☝️ need a tack for aure. Why happens in a accident

[@hooligan_56labelle22]

Yes sir. Lots of care going into this project. Keep in mind...don't forget to build in the back to prevent 4 wheelers from rear-end collision from going under. You know what I mean...the ones that can't see the big vehicle in front of them.

[@danfrankhouser6579]

Love this build!

[@GypsyJvan]

nice..thanks.. ..Black Art Forge..

So much room for activities!

[@dennisschickling2249]

Great update. Looking Forward to seeing more. #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY 🇺🇸

[@stewartwoerle6351]

Looking good mate, coming along nicely. You may want to consider putting in some cross or vee bracing from the chassis to the centre of where your tow hitch will be. To eliminate any sideway forces and assist with straight tow, especially if you end up towing a tandem trailer with heavy loads. Cheers Karl, keep ‘em coming.

[@freeidaho-videos]

Love the planning! So many channels wing it, go backwards, guess again, go backwards, then finally accept a crappy result.

[@MakeItKustom]

Yea redos are expensive too!

[@paulhedman7387]

I love this stuff !

[@brandonmaley6737]

Lookin good!!!

[@albegt98]

good job man 👍💪

[@ivaneberle3972]

Carl, are you planning on a winching mount at the front that incorporates a crash bar for the cab occupants? That tilting COE design has to be lightweight and probably wouldn't backstop you and yours in the unfortunate event of a crash. Even a low-speed frontal crash with a 2000 lb coupe on nylon straps is a scary prospect without a crash bar

[@MakeItKustom]

That’s a really good point I hadn’t thought of actually

[@ivaneberle3972]

I've occasionally had second thoughts on posting my Safety Salamander reactions but here's one time I'm glad I piped up. Too, since you may be hauling new-to-you parts cars without a lot of structural integrity, or irresistible semi-reassembled abandoned projects you pick up, consider a woven wire mesh cage for the backlight (cab rear window, that is). I've seen how tough & thorough inspection is in AB before plates are issued--true for BC, too? Are there additional regs in the commercial vehicle code for inspecting car carriers?

[@dfusit]

My goodness she’s a big girl. I can actually see what the finished project is going to look like now. What is the color scheme going to be? All black frame and maybe a color matched deck and cab? Cannot wait to see it completed.

[@RandallSoong-pp7ih]

Awesome!!

[@CaptainBuilt]

If you trim the bushes around your deck, it makes your deck look a lot bigger.

[@MakeItKustom]

😆😆😆

[@marca5883]

Awesome work Karl💚🇬🇧🌱 lots of advertising these days...

[@Equiluxe1]

I would have got some tapered C section in say 10mm / 3/8th thick pressed up for the chassis extension, would have been a more elegant and professional look to it plus put the strength where it was needed and saved a bit of weight at the rearmost end. But that's just my thoughts on it, I have done a few chassis extensions and low loaders in the past.

[@AlexSwavely]

Just in case you have to remove the ramp a few years down the road, I recommend shortening up those bolts... Btw this is my second favorite series, behind the mini buick. Looking forward to completion!

[@MakeItKustom]

Haha right on Alex thanks. Back on the BB soon!

[@andrewelliot5516]

looks fantastic - wondering what the steel bill is for that deck - worth it though.

[@liquidhandwash]

Looking great! when you finish you will have to make 2 more ramp trucks, The Kei truck to carry the baby Buick, and another one like your GMC van cut down to carry the Kei truck that can then go on the big ramp truck. Just kidding, just put the baby Buick on the back !

[@InverJaze]

I'm looking forward to seeing how this project comes together. Though, I was thinking that the deck would have hydraulics to drop the deck to the ground. So that the truck could lift a vehicle onto the back of the truck, like most recovery vehicles do. Ah! imagination.

[@jemayer1977]

Killer content!

[@robertbennett9243]

That's quite a stout bed. You could almost haul a tank. Can't wait to see it all done. Next week?

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Truck is looking great. For some reason I thought you were going to slide the tail extension into the rear of the frame and bolt them in. I am not sure why I thought that but the way you mounted the tail section looks strong and ready for the deck and any load you put on it.

[@PaulAsselstine]

Nothing like shop dogs!

[@kennethstaszak9990]

Looking good. Are you going to add any diagonal bracing at the front to prevent racking under load?

[@chuckster6513]

Hey Karl, That deck is heavy enough to carry anything you want to put on it. Hopefully it will help with the ride when empty as well. I assume you will be hanging a side box or two for the tie down equipment.

[@MakeItKustom]

Yes, absolutely it’s gonna get full skirting and lots of storage within the deck

[@gregsmith3366]

Nothing like over engineering 💪💪I’ve got a 16 tonne truck and the tipping body isn’t as well built love your work 👌

[@darrellabell8380]

hopefully there's room somewhere for a 16k + bed wench? still plenty of time to fab something somewhere. love the project. can't wait to see where it all lands.

[@number7__879]

Yes Sir!!!

[@wallemahatma]

Now thats a big bed. Reminds me I have to go to sleep now. Good night, folks…

[@NZMOPAR]

Karl be careful hard mounting a deck to the chassis it should be soft mounted so the chassis can flex by itself . alot of trucks here have springs around the bottom of the bolts or something so the deck can move with a u plate over the chassis

[@jeremyhanna3852]

Julie the dually got some wide hips

[@Iowa599]

You should combine the wall art & make a minichopper, with the long forks/20" front on the mini frame/rear wheel.

[@slicedbread9003]

This is looking great. Good design. I'm concerned at how wide this is, but I'm not in your shop so, you have a better view than me. Roscoe needs attention. Good to see he's getting it. Our pets don't understand why we spend so much time making noise and not with them.

[@JaySea1069]

With the already onboard air, you should consider an airline to fill tires and blow the deck free of debris b4 goin down the road and air tools. Fer sure air ride seats so u can luv your life on extended road trips sittin right over the steer tires.

[@MakeItKustom]

Absolutely that’s the plan. It’s actually going to become a rolling shop truck. It will have a generator also and tons of storage.

[@rogercouch2440]

Hokie smoke Bullwinkle! That’s the first time I’ve seen your wife in over 2 years!

[@talleneagle1974]

I had arthritis in my knees and every morning it was very painful to get out of bed. I researched about natural remedies and pineapple is a anti inflammatory it works like a miracle i have no issues now. You have to eat a little every day or the pain will come back. It would definitely help with the dog.

[@i8ntnuts]

Bromelain for arthritis is worth following up on.

[@davespringate5469]

Gonna be interesting to see what the finished truck weight is, that's a lot of steel !

[@5speediroc]

Love your meticulous approach to everything and the idea's you 2 come up with. Elio (I know I spelled it wrong no doubt) needs to do some how to video's for fusion360.. I've been messing around with it for about a year and man, he's faster at creating and manipulating drawings and models then I am..

[@jeremyhanna3852]

I love over kill but are you planning on hauling deboss garges tank on that thing while pulling a mobile home on that trailer hitch at the same time

[@MakeItKustom]

Maybe one day it will see a Cummins and all The trailers

[@jaymichael91]

Fascinating and all-around cool. And, of course, some more fascinating. Where did you get your cnc training. I suck at it.

[@vernonjames2951]

don't forget put the winch under deck up front and have a block n pulley wheel for the cable clip into deck so it can all be hidden away when not it use..
