Tom, I love Chad's Fab, Fab Rats, Matts Off-Road, and Trailmater, and I never miss an episode of any of them. But I've got to tell you, I don't know what it is about your presentation and production, but yours have really become my favorite fabrication videos. It feels like a long wait until the next new segment comes out. Now, I'm not suggesting you need to get more out quicker, but rather I'm just relating how much I enjoy watching your work. I know you're a small shop and it's just you and your lovely (and capable) wife Angela (along with a helping hand here and there), but you're really on to something here. Keep it up brother. Count me as a fan for life. And, as always, thanks so much for sharing. Steve

[@davidwatts6478]

Do your self a favor Tom Tom. Buy Angela a new measuring cup and dedicate the one you used to garage use. I don't think she is going to want it back.

[@CrimeVid]

Hah ! Pyrex does not hold petrol and oil smells, much better than plastic for "dual use" !

[@YusssoM]

I thought that was a joke 🤔

[@barrieevans2570]

What she doesn’t know 😅

[@outlawbillionairez9780]

Just bought a Dollar store measuring cup. Has embossed cup fractions and ounces. Screw on lid and transparent.

[@BastrdMcQueen]

davidwatts is sharing wisdom from lessons learned😂

[@brettperkins4643]

Tom's skill and attention to the smallest detail continues to amaze me. He is the whole package, engineers mind and tons of skill in a very humble package. He is what all teachers should strive to be

[@nathannoblit3090]

My vote is for Tom Tom to be entered in the onX off road challenge next year! 👊 Keep doing what you’re doing. Can’t wait to see you start getting some seat time in dig dug and see it in action…

[@hawkeyejohnny968]

Your videos are now my first choice on Sundays! You’ve passed Paul, Matt, Chad and Merlin. I also like the length and how you edit your videos to include hours of footage that shows progress. You stay on one project until completed unlike many that jump around.

[@Ifyouseekyle]

My first choice as well!

[@AdventuringwiththeS.G.O.C.C]

I watch that whole list every Sunday as well.

[@AH.135]

Same, better viewing than any tv studio could possibly create.

[@yourhandlehere1]

Gear oil adds just the right kick to your cake mix and pancake batter.

[@staff.engineer]

Amateur tip: put a nut on the bolt before cutting to length and grinding so it will open up the threads on the way off. Chase with a die if desired.

[@robertstone96]

I posted this as well. Sorry I didn't see you post first...

[@stoker20]

I like to dress the end and make it all pretty. Nothing wrong with your suggestion.

[@outlawbillionairez9780]

Good suggestion. Also, a triangle jeweler's file gives you a perfect 60° thread geometry. (Available at you know who)

[@DenverJohn11]

Tom Tom, you are an amazing designer and fabricator. Your attention to detail is amazing as well. But the most amazing thing of all is how you do this all by yourself. Don't know how you can do it all. Worthy.

[@judih.8754]

I am so glad Tom fast-forwards through the welding sequences. The beginning and finished product are interesting but not so the full welding process in real time.

[@MichaelMaxim-ft5sv]

You guys are doing fantastic Tom ..keep up the great shows...you surely married the right girl Angela's awesome

[@jerrybauman6927]

Your attention to detail and quality of work is inspiring.

[@BrandonBarnett-fk8zf]

I can't wait to see Dig Dug in action. Tom your meticulous attention to detail and skill level will really show in my opinion on how well this truck performs on the trail.

[@phillip.9524]

Tom. My dad was Kevin,he was really reliable and as strong as a ox sot that would be a great name even if it is a Jeep…🇦🇺🍺

[@asdacomp]

Angela, you're a hoot ❤❤

[@DocDazzler]

My wife and I were lucky enough to meet Angela last year at Matt’s when Matt was off on his family cruise. She is so great, kind and awesome to talk to. My wife and I took our trip from IL to UT for our 30th wedding anniversary. I made her stop in at Matt’s, Fab Rats and Robbie Layton’s place. Sorry I didn’t get to meet Tom Tom as well.

[@mascatrails661]

Tom, thank you so much for making these videos with so much detail and great explanations

[@ezrilebeau8234]

I love how he explained what makes him cut metal which way, then proceeds to contradict what he just said by using the saw to do something more angular and precise (the plates for the rear truss) lol XD

[@JDZiemba1773]

Cant wait to see ol Dig dug out on the trail n finished....god bless ❤️🇺🇲

[@oldguysrule5895]

Outstanding as always. Thanks for the great content. Always authentic no gimmicks.

Dig Doug is really coming along and looking fine,can't wait for the reveal. I personally enjoy the time lapse vids,less chatter,more matter,all your episodes seem accomplish plenty of progress,thank you for the content.

[@hulanbailey5219]

TOM EVERYTHING LOOKS SO GOOD . FINE . CANT WAIT TILL SHES ALL CLEANED UP . GONNA BE NICE . PROUD OF YOU . ALLTHE BEST .BYE

[@guillermodelnoche]

Tom, you are killing it! Whoever does your thumbnails nails it! Super impressed with how fast you built your channel!

[@tomhall9212]

When you pulled the transfer case from the transmission, there was an O-ring between the adapter and the transmission. When you put it back together, I didn't see that O-ring going back in. Did I miss something? Edited out? Love your channel. Another Tom in Hurricane...

[@jeremyhanna3852]

That o ring is for a tail shaft seal when thst 4l80e was 2wd it dont need it now

[@gregholmes3661]

Angela is so sweet, I see why you two have a life together.

[@markturner5996]

Tom, Dig-Dug is coming along nicely! Enjoying the content-thanks for taking us along on the journey!! You sure have some good friends that jump right in when you need them !!

[@Wiz-kidddd]

Like your show more than most . Keep up the good work Tom Tom

[@jdmayberry242]

When you stitch weld if the weld cracks it stops at the end of that stitch!! If you weld it solid the crack will follow the whole weld around!! 👍

[@sgentry0207]

Tom, you have been a bad influence on me! LOL To being the first video I watch on Sunday, to eating PB&J sandwiches, I am not the same person I used to be! (Keep um coming!!!)

[@Kolya_Smirnov]

I had my first PB&J sandwich this week in about 20 years. All because Tim Tom is always flaunting his.

Tom your channel s growing fast keep up the great work/content they’ll be little bumps in the road as with any new adventure but I will tell you in my humble opinion you’re on to something special here. Love the edit it’s a fun and educational channel that not only shows us how to fab but how to balance work and family💕 please everyone let’s spread the word and get Tom Toms channel to a million subs!! Thanks for sharing all you do. TA

Messing with a ladies vintage Tupperware might be a death sentence.

[@wesman7837]

​@@Cycle9568 Do not degrade Pyrex by calling it Tupperware!

[@jimronchetto8592]

I'm glad to see you using weld-through primer. So many welders don't, and I think that's a big mistake that will haunt them a few years down the road. I suppose if it's contract work they are doing, they don't care as much about it as they would if it were their own project. Another great video!

[@TylerReynolds.Legend]

I literally stay alive for the combined 2-3 hours of content throughout the week when Tom Tom and MORR upload.

[@katreniaclark]

I totally agree, Buy Angela a new measuring cup, that stink will NEVER come out of that plastic. Kevin is a great name for Bridgers WJ. Bridger is a great looking young man. I LOVE seeing your fast forwarded videos as they even show the circles while you weld. I also love the use of them.

If you only knew someone with a tow truck to make things easier.😄😄

[@bgee461]

You can't pull people away from their bread and butter... I'd never ask a friend to help with something they do for a living. If that's the kind of help I need, I'd rather pay them for it.

[@robertstone96]

Tom, When cutting bolt threads off screw a nut on it before putting it in the vise. Holds it straighter and acts as a guide for length of cut. Also helps cleaning up the threads post grinding. Just a suggestion...

[@pezpengy9308]

extreme skill makes stupidly difficult things look stupidly easy. darn you for inspiring me to try and end up just breaking things... on the other hand i never stole anything from the kitchen so at least im safe on that front.

[@kentonblair8848]

I love your work and vision. I have found that when cutting off the end of the threads on a bolt, it can make it easier if you thread a nut on the bolt before cutting so that the end thread isn't compromised, even if it means sacrificing that nut. It is faster and easier than having to chase the threads with a die. Keep up the great work.

[@kevinpeters1596]

Thanks Bridger

[@FreddyHoffmann]

Great video, but you have to buy Angela a new measuring cup. The one you used will never be food grade anymore. Greetings from Norway! 🇳🇴

If Tom Tom jokes were rated like dad jokes, the lack of precision in throwing the banner up and asking Angela if it will fit. Priceless !

Just measure what you need in water using the cup measure, transfer the measured water to another container and mark the volume on the new container. No need to get into trouble.

[@boboda7]

Dig dug is turning out awesome

[@alpha_stag9297]

Tom Tom, here’s an old school mechanic’s secret for the WJ. You can substitute 1 qt of oil with 1 qt of ATF. ATF is a fantastic detergent and it will break down sludge and varnish inside the engine and valve cover. And you can do this as long as you you’d like on older motors. You should give it a go! Take a before picture of the valve cover. And give it a few oil changes. Hope this helps!
