Homemade 4WD Mini FJ40 Power Wheels Go Kart Build Gets New Engine + Suspension Finished !

Shed engineering at its best. What a legend.

Thanks mate! If you cant build it in a shed it aint worth building! 🤣

That thing is built more beefier than a regular jeep for Gawd sakes. Nice work! It will be able to handle anything, It's built like an armored tank. I love it.

[@theknifeconnection9571]

Absolute monster. Unbelievable this dudes dedication and engineering! Mind blown all this is manually made. So many parts most people would only use a laser cutter or water jet or even cnc machine. But this dude does just as good of a job.

This thing is crazy. I can’t believe how heavy duty you are building this thing.

[@fuhkoffandie]

I just want to let you know you're an excellent stick welder, and that will be one of the strongest frames you will ever see, because you stick welded it. It's way stronger than using a MIG welder, and the way I prove this, just weld the kickstand back on a motorcycle with the biggest MIG welder you can find. Now well that same kickstand boss back on with a stick welder. And you tell me which one is stronger. Awesome job on the Fab, man. Nice work. No Amateur hour on this channel.💯💯💯💯💯

Amazing, I just discovered your channel by accident and boy talk about impressive!! I have been watching the skills of Rather B Welding (Chris) and Grind Hard Plumbing Co (Ethan and Edwin) for years (among many others) you rival their skills very easily, I think with your fabrication skills you are going to be right up there in subscribers in not time at all 😁 And as one, myself out in the colonies in Western Australia it is so refreshing to see a person who doesn't need to scream to be heard but talks to you, I look forward to watching all of your videos and in following you in the years to come Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺 😁

[@vincenttaitano6285]

How does the front lock? As in the axle sockets how do they lock on the center shaft i understand the sliding part but what locks it to spin?

[@councilhousecreations8035]

Hey bud. So the socket slides across and joins up 2 nuts. One nut is welded to the centre shaft and the other is welded to the half shaft. I used a deep impact socket with the nuts to make a ''spline'' sort of thing. One nut is always hidden inside the socket.👍

[@shyamricky597]

I would recommend using metal lock nuts rather than nylon ones couse heat from engine can damage the nylon lock nuts

[@tylerwatts1004]

This is great and your ability to work out solutions using limited materials and machine is great! I must wonder though, what kind of patriot are you building an FJ, this thing looks more like a defender under the skin ;) Excellent work though, well done.

[@councilhousecreations8035]

Thanks man! 😅 good point lol! Id love to do one in the future tho!

[@sarcodian]

Hi. What thickness is the steel platr you use for the tabs?

[@councilhousecreations8035]

I used 4mm plate for all the tabs

[@fuhkoffandie]

Even though it's a nice touch, if I were you, I would refrain from chamfering suspension bracket holes. The diameter the whole we'll end up expanding, due to the lack of thickness of the metal.

[@jimmypopp2695]

Incredible!! And you did most of this with SMAW. I would have used so much MIG wire and gas that I would have gone broke. Truly an awesome fabricator!! How long did that build actually take?

[@councilhousecreations8035]

Thanks bud! There not the best welds but theres enough of them🤣 probs took me about 6 month on and off 👍

[@CoopGaming]

Man you will have a problem with the driveshaft, if you don't use two links in a driveshaft it will transmit different amounts of twork, because the radious from the center of the shaft changes as you steer, I don't think it's a big problem ... It will probably jolt when you steer but using two of them solves this problem

[@councilhousecreations8035]

Hey man are you referring to the universal joints on the steering?

[@councilhousecreations8035]

@CoopGaming thanks for your help man much appreciated! I had suspected this might be an issue but luckily it doesn't seem too bad. The steering is limited to 37degrees which is about the limit of a 'UJ'. I admit, a 'CV' joint would have solved this from the start but we live and learn. Thanks bro 🤘
