Do you really need a tube bender? - [Project Super Dukota] Part 7

[@rickydurfee1643]

Welll… ow I know how I’m gonna lower my truck. Awesome work man. I’m currently redoing my links on my Tacoma. Was gonna lift the motor an inch to get a little lower. This seems like a lot less work!

[@WebWheeler]

Sweet! Glad it could help out a little. Good luck with the project man 🤘

[@ReindeerBork]

I can see this inspiring a whole bunch of unqualified people to do some pretty shady shit then throw it on the road…

[@WebWheeler]

I think you overestimate my influence on people lol. Lots of hack jobs out there already (some of them "professionals") putting questionable stuff on the road. If anything I hope that people see what I'm doing and learn to build safer

[@milleroctober1996]

Couldn't you have gone with a solid bar??

[@WebWheeler]

Yeah you could- the strength is almost the same as sleeving the OD, except that it adds about 5 extra pounds of weight. Not a big deal on most cases, more just about what material you have available haha

[@danielbaker4395]

Dude I really enjoy your videos. I was watching one last night thinking you might be done making them. Also that's a huge strength increase without even adding too much weight.

[@WebWheeler]

Thanks so much for the support! Yeah looking back at my uploads I can't believe it had been so long haha. Channel will keep on going! Lots of life happening in the last year haha but I'm dedicated to improving the channel with more frequent and high quality uploads moving forward. Thanks again for watching- really appreciate it! 👍

[@jake1021]

Well I have good timing watched your for the first time and subscribed.... 3 days ago?

[@WebWheeler]

Lol that is good timing! Thanks for the sub and support! 👍

[@WARD5KUSTOMZ]

I don't have instascram.

[@WebWheeler]

Then you'll just have to wait for more videos haha

[@darrianknight8974]

I was wondering what kind of pipe is that

[@WebWheeler]

1.5" x .25" Wall DOM tube. Thanks for watching!

[@brianhaw9398]

Do you have an engineering background? Your thought process is amazing. Your welds look very good. And the flex is unbelievable. Can't wait for the next one.

[@WebWheeler]

Thank you for the good words! Engineering background is a good way to put it haha. I have a bachelor's in industrial technology and manufacturing which is sort of an engineering degree haha. It substitutes higher level mechanical engineering concepts for more focus on manufacturing methods and optimization. My day job is 3d mechanical design using Solidworks though. Thanks for watching!

[@TheMrhick92]

Forgot all about this build

[@WebWheeler]

Next build episode will come a lot sooner than this one did!. Thanks for coming back haha

[@deleglen]

this is the best technical channel ! you are awesome explaining everything, i hope you can keep uploading videos.

[@WebWheeler]

Thanks a ton for watching! I'm trying to walk (or blue) the line between informative and entertaining haha. I appreciate the support 👍

[@Dallas-Rife-UDX-347-Tennessee]

Awesome work man , I’m really glad to see the Dakota getting closer to being trail ready and roadworthy 👏👏👏

[@WebWheeler]

Thanks man! Yeah the videos are way behind lol- she's actually trail ready now! Planning on hitting the snow after Christmas 👍

[@Dallas-Rife-UDX-347-Tennessee]

@@WebWheeler Good to hear . Keep up the good work

[@Rick-4552]

Nice welds!

[@WebWheeler]

Thanks man- still lots of practice required for my TIG skills to be where I want them but gotta just keep putting in the time. Thanks for watching!

[@littlebitches328]

Bad ass man!

[@WebWheeler]

Thanks buddy! Excited to take you for a spin when you guys come up this way
