Installing The Custom Exhaust On the FJ45 Ultimate Rock Crawler Build

Sorry about your loss even though we have never met. I lost a child 5 years ago and it hurts me everyday but I told Micheal to find your dad in heaven and have him teach you to build cars until one day I will have the opportunity to. Keep your head up and a smile one your face

Awesome job on the shock mounts and exhaust Paul, it's nice to see you in better spirits today, my thought and prayers are with you and family. Losing a family member is never easy, I lost my dad when I was Landon's age.

[@timsaxer6442]

To Paul@FabRats. Your public acknowledgement in your last video about losing your pal and father has had a very positive effect on your outlook and it shows in this video. You don't ever get over losing a loved one, hell, I lost my Dad 37 years ago and I still miss him every day. You do learn to deal with it and it appears to me you're doing well. Do not ever let him go, our loved ones live forever in our memories. Best wishes, Paul and family.

There is a night and day difference in the shop with Randal around. Paul just lights up. He's the perfect guy to have in there with Paul and swing the camera and bounce ideas off. He understands the mods that Paul's doing and contributes a ton. Their interaction is really fun and the friendly ribbing they give each other makes everyone laugh. Glad Randal's there!

Wow, what insight into how the sausage is made: - trademark (hopefully) disputes with unauthorized merch sellers, the nasty overhead cost for all creators - Michelle doing the magic of video editing, what a collection of video tricks, musical cues, and choosing the best of Paul's commentary - adding Randall to the mix, we all know the many viewers/commenters have opinions as to who they want to see and hear from, so yay for teamwork!

[@Toymakr000]

Paul when you mount a muffle like that (vertical) make sure you put a drain hole in the muffler, at the lowest point, so it doesn't trap water and rot out. A lot of factory mufflers have drain holes in them. It just needs to be a small hole like 1/8" or a little smaller.

[@craighearn747]

Nearly cutting through your chassis while still noodling the bottom mount is definitely not for the faint of heart. Getting your design right the first time gives you bragging rights.

I hate to set a tool down and then can't find it. My dear husband is very picky about the tools in his shop and I don't mind him putting them back where they go, but let me finish what I was doing before you put it away!!! I spent almost a full hour searching everywhere for a staple puller!!! I had just laid it down, right next to the piece I was working on. Turned my back for a second and dearest hubby put it back on the hook!!!! I guess it keeps married life interesting.

Paul, a good source for a used orbital valve is a forklift, you might even get a good steering column from the same donor. Standard power steering pumps usually work. I built a tractor with a Toyota car engine and transmission years ago, and I used an orbital with the stock power steering pump, and it worked fine, even at idle. I used a John Deere steering cylinder, but you would want something a bit more industrial, perhaps.

Totally enjoying this creation Paul. Happily I have my own tricks of the trade , still every thing you do is something I learn. Something new to me.

Good job so far Paul, I wish you got a little more technical with your bends and did some pie cuts to give it a more compact look, but all in all I think it's going to be pretty rad. Are you plan on make it as complete as the Morvair? Or is this gonna be a fully built beater?

[@blakejackson6582]

The gentleman at my local exhaust shop keeps a bundle of heavy gauge wire in his shop. He puts one end inside the existing exhaust pipe or manifold and bends the wire in the shape of how he wants his pipe to run. He then takes the wire to the bender and bends the pipe to match the wire. It seems to work very well for him.

[@ralfie8801]

I’ve known some guys like that, but the best ones are the very experienced ones that eyeball it and bend it, without a wire template. There used to be a guy named Derrick in my hometown that could eyeball a set of duals on late 90’s and 2000 model trucks and have it all tacked in ready to finish weld in less than an hour, and both sides matched in a mirror image.

[@clstjam4321]

Great stuff Paul! Setting up rear suspension is always challenging and you made it look straight forward. As a cool idea for when you build your next crawler or upgrade this one, build up some trailing arms the way Ultra4 (4400/4800) links are built. And, since it's a crawler and not a racer, you can mount the shocks quite a bit forward of the rear heims. That'll give you considerably more flex and wheel travel plus trailing arms can take much more of a beating than DOM alone can take.

[@totensiebush]

I'd be concerned about the frame with how much material you took out of the top and bottom. If it was mine, I'd want to add an inboard box section frame spanning the notch. Without it, it looks like your frame at the mounts is basically a plate on each side, easy to bend, rather than a box like you want.

Left and right flex moment and reaction will bend the Ore Mounts where it is notched in the frame on a drop or a bounce

Try making a pattern for the pipe with a piece of metal brake line or fencing wire. Use the wire pattern when bending on the machine. You'll get the pipe right the first time. Been doing custom exhaust for over 20 years. The more time you spend on your pattern, the more perfect the pipe will fit.
