IT DRIVES!...kind of...Homemade UTV Build with 4 Wheel Steer - Episode 7

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Welding looking good Thanks for the shout out😁

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Clint!

[@eddiemortontapman7252]

Great progress on the Fred Flintstone Side by Side LT .

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks!

[@NotmeGK123]

old farmer trick for welding big gaps just in case you didn't know that separate welding rod beat the flux off it boom instant gap filler lay it in there or work it in there like tig welding lol yeah pretty sure that's where idea came from to tig weld lol

[@ericsimandl3998]

The most whimsical channel on KZbin. A plaesure to watch.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Eric

[@davidnichols1363]

Hope you're having as much fun fabing it together as I am watching you . It's all a process and ya ain't gonna learn by doin nothin. It ain't wrong if it works. Keep plugging

[@CaptainKleeman]

I'm having a blast!

[@andrewharvey8799]

Thanks for trying to use that glass in front of the welding. I understand if it doesn't work it doesn't work .At least you tried .I just enjoy watching all your different projects .Your utv is going to look pretty cool when you get her done.and four wheel steering like a luxury car 🙂 It'll be nice to see the KZbin yacht worked on again. Thank you

[@notmeatall70s]

👍for the subarord. Poverty rocks.

[@patrickcolahan7499]

Its Alive!!! Nice work Mike. Thanks very much for sharing.

[@josephdriscoll8527]

Not overkill adding the gussets my first buggie broke welds so many times due to no gussets and doing things I shouldn't 😁

[@dougyurecko6500]

I'm glad you mentioned the suprise, cause I was gonna ask. The " UTV " your words, is coming along. Have a great weekend Mike, stay safe brother. PS I have to take a trip to Batesville IN in a few weeks, thought about stopping in Evansville for a station tour and to meet you if we can work out the details.

[@raymondrussell500]

Your passenger was just enjoying the ride! Your uncontrolled 4 wheel steering is going to be a problem until you get a plan and do something. Coming along nice! Enjoy yourself with the build.

[@CaptainKleeman]

The plan was in the video, I think it'll work!

[@Popeyes66]

Captain Kleeman's Fab Shop. Pudding would be proud Mike.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks!

[@jamesbergfeld5923]

Coffee and Kleeman in the morning can’t get any better.

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Captain awesome build, not a normal one but doing what you want to do! You say you’re not a mechanic or a welder, but you’re proving yourself wrong! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Kevin!

[@chriscampbell2327]

Lay a welding rod along the gap to help fill it up like I C Weld does.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Yup, I've done that before too.

[@TheDistur]

You're going to be running those flat tires until they fall off aren't you. 😂 Glad it moves and that you are having fun building it!

[@CaptainKleeman]

😂😂😂 it fits the budget

[@paulprigge1209]

Just in Julia Channel! That’s the best thing to tell people. Laid back Time by yourself after dealing with the public. God bless sir.

[@rhondaross7611]

You channel is like a normal person life scattered but working towards a goal. Your imagination of things that is messed up and giving them new life should be the way people think. Great work.

[@ooper3604]

first thing is you need a BFH (big f'n hammer) that hammer you have ain't cutting it. 2nd pretty doesn't matter when fabricating where no one will see. and C: on thinner metal as you weld, the heat from the welding should be enough to bend the metal. i like the way you make things work. also, i just thought of this but when you have big gaps you can use little pieces of used rods (remove the flux first) or thin scraps of metal to help fill the gaps. just tack them in the space and weld over them. keep up the good work. enjoy watching all your different projects.

[@daniele.woodhead1218]

Mike I'm already subbed to Clint's channel looking forward to seeing what coming God bless y'all see next time from Gaffney South Carolina viewer

[@Wrick_Slate]

Ha Dan did you see what Captain got 🥰🥰can’t wait to see what he does 🥰🥰🥰

[@reinovator]

12 years ago. I built a 4 wheeler out of a 1977 Subaru GL Wagon. Frame( unibody ) was all rusted out in the back around the rear end (Honestly the whole thing was a Rust bucket). I built a similar frame like you have done, But I re-installed the Subaru rear end. in it. Worked great climbed like a goat. I Should have kept it.

[@dansevern3291]

Maybe for brakes, just cut a hole in the floor pan and do the Fred Flintstone thing? Never know, it might work, and unlike Fred, you have shoes.

[@CaptainKleeman]

😂😂😂

[@erictaylor8523]

Hey Mike just a heads up, don't forget to change the cabin filter!!

[@CaptainKleeman]

😂😂

[@lonniechartrand]

Your torch cutting has improved immensely!!!

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@kevincobey549]

Remember the old saying , cut it to fit and beat it match on your gussets LOL

[@donaldkennedy5604]

Standing on a plastic chair welding reminds me when I was sitting on a five gallon bucket of gas one time and it blew me across the shop lol.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Lol, that's crazy man! Hope the injuries weren't too bad

[@donaldkennedy5604]

I walked away but my pride was injured lol.

[@bullittdog4352]

Ok..I’ll admit that the ghetto SxS project has won me over! Seeing the rig move when you dropped it in gear was a relief, I was concerned that the Subby AWD system was gonna loose it’s mind with no rear diff. And please tell me there will be a video in the future with you driving this thing and your daughter or wife in the passenger seat steering the rear ..I’m sure that would be a riot.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Oh definitely!

[@DavidB-Scotland]

Nothing wrong with overbuilding something unless you're sure it's not required. It's coming together nicely! Another great video, Mike. Thanks 👍

[@caesar1295]

Great job Mike your a hard worker and very creative wish you all the luck in the world. Projects like this sure beat sitting on the couch God bless Sir.

[@tomstack659]

Your welding is coming along great , I always keep 5 gallon bucket water near by and drop the hot parts in cools down quick to handle them dries quick to !

[@CaptainKleeman]

Good idea!

[@LoBeau53]

Your engineering is sound. Your execution is, Showing potential

[@daviddelaney5180]

Great job 👏!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks David

[@darrylridlon5918]

Nothing wrong with over building . If your doing it yourself it is not over building it is creative designing. Excellent job Mike,everyone will be happy with your work. Stay safe my friend.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Darryl!

[@richardhedrick5601]

That is one crazy ride

[@CaptainKleeman]

Definitely!

[@edwardgarea7650]

I’ll be honest with you, I have no idea of why you would want to do this, but I sure as hell admire your stick-to-it-tiveness. This is what makes me watch your channel and what always brings me back. The only thing I worry about is you always have three projects going at the same time ... but it does make for great viewing.

[@CaptainKleeman]

I only work on this when we have nothing else going. Other wise you wouldn't have anything to watch on the channel lol

[@Manoffire260]

LOVE these “eccentric” projects! Helps me know I’m not the only one…😊

[@philliptennis3537]

Looking good Capt! It's all coming together, actually looks like a sxs. Just more bigger

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Phillip!

[@kaoskrew8577]

Mike, this is just the best project!! In the UK we have something called 'Scrapheap Challenge' - do you have something similar? Here a thing .... scrapheap challenge involving you, DP, CNC, MBTS and maybe one or two others. Build something moveable and race! Awesome series for all of you - it will set You Tube on fire! 😆

[@Bman2020]

Well it’s something that you are having fun with let the good times roll 👍👋🇨🇦

[@dansevern3291]

Hah! Just saw C&C's video. You have some eagle-eyed viewers if they saw that in the background! Looking forward to those videos, sitting here covered in hydraulic fluid, need inspiration!

[@tntchitwood]

You're metal fab skills have improved drastically. Welcome to the may not look the best, but it will never fall apart club. I am the local president of my chapter here in Pine Knot, KY.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Hey I'm honored to be here! 😂

[@DMAN10]

It’s alive! 💯 Thanks for sharing Cap!

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@ianh9772]

That outro, superlative. Nice job on the build too

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Ian

[@smudger797]

🤠 Mike, You do what you want. Cos we watch what we want, And thats you. Great video Mate keepem coming - Tim

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Tim!

[@gwbuilder5779]

The UTV LIVES!!!!! Too bad you had to get rid of the mouse catcher 5,000. It was the perfect accessory for the project except for the freak you out part. 😆🤣😂

[@rickbell3402]

Fantastic, Mike! Great to see your project moving down the road!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Rick

[@williammatthews2948]

It's good to see Rangeru up and running. I would have evacuated the car, and my bowels if a snake were in my vehicle. I don't do snakes. Or mice, but that's another conversation.

[@kev63rod]

Should be a fuse up by the firewall drivers side that you can pull out to force it to be fwd only. It's purpose is to be able to run a donut tire in the back and not tear the transmission up while on the road. Believe it is a 20A fuse. Been a few years since I owned a wagon identical to that

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thank you for the tip!!

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Cap’n… I measure my procrastination in time… hours, days, years sometimes. But, I think I like your method better. I mean, if you measure it in “Rounds”… time becomes immaterial. No need to feel guilty or anxious about how long a project is taking… just point out that you will do it when you get “Round” to it!!! You know, I thought I was good at procrastination. But, you sir have totally re-imagined it! Thanx bud!!!

[@mrmr9488]

I really enjoy watching someone with a thought process that's similar to mine. "Ok, I've got a carefully thought out, well detailed plan here... oh look, a squirrel!"

[@Harleyguy307]

It must be a pain working on the gravel. I was thinking if you wanted a spot that was a little smoother spread some pea gravel out and some sand over that then roll it might be smoother and still drain good and you could also find stuff easier when you drop it.

[@utubota5522]

Were you going to hook the rear steering up to the power steering pump? Might be kind of cool to steer front and rear. Might also be fun to figure our how to make that work. Good luck!

[@chetthejet3896]

22:20 That blew my mind when you got ready to start it. AMAZING!

[@mcfwelding]

this thing keeps getting better and better

[@CaptainKleeman]

Its been fun so far!

[@gregthompson5847]

Glove on glove action, it's why I really tune in to the channel 🤣🤣🤣 Loving this build, can't wait to see it in use.

[@andrewcooper8980]

Using the winch motor is a brilliant idea for the rear steering. I like it😁

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@trailcamgeorgia]

You need to make it utilize a tiller driver 😁

[@CaptainKleeman]

😂😂

[@davidpayne2880]

Capitan just buy a inner tube and install it to stop the bead leaks.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Hey there ya go!

[@young11984]

May be able to pick up some 01-05 explorer 16” wheels/tires pretty cheap, have a matching set of 16s all around

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks for the tip!

[@tugboat2739]

Good video Captain

[@leemunger8597]

Put a tiller cab on the back

[@katieallen3927]

I thought from your reaction that the passenger was a huge black snake or a rattler. Wasn’t very big so I was a bit disappointed.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Hahaha

[@AndyMohlman]

I love the SnakeMobile! You are a legend Mike, thanks for sharing these projects with us.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks for watching andy

[@jondavis5783]

Doing a good job bud

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Jon!

[@bobbydawson7706]

Great prep and welding there BUD! Waiting to see your family enjoy riding in it 😁

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Bobby

[@harveylong5878]

so Clint is going shoehorn that 460 in this frankenmobile? oh yes do it Capt, do it do it. you'll be in like finn to challenge Kev to race that way

[@CaptainKleeman]

Hahaha that would be awesome!

[@claudethomas8084]

Doing a great job can't wait to see the finished project. Will be nice to see you working on the yacht again. Love to watch you work and figure things out. Keep it up.😁

Nothing much better than watching a master car builder ploy his trade 🙂 And it goes!

[@CaptainKleeman]

It moves! Pretty excited

[@corydehaven1308]

Last nights shift was interesting here in the Poconos. Nothing better than coming home to this epic build!!! Thank you….

[@allensharlow7763]

Your UTV is coming along pretty good Mike, but I also noticed, man your starting to weld pretty good, and wow , you cut steel with your cutting torch, as good as anyone can with a Plazma cutter, your becoming quite the fabracator

[@gslope1]

I have to admit you kinda lost me on this project, but I'm glad you're having fun. From a non-welder it looks like your skills have improved. Your passenger is the reason I hate to keep stuff parked outside. Have a great rest of your week.

[@alexosborne5629]

Marvellous Sir!!! Frame welded and painted those pesky hard to reach places... and not a hint of over engineering, in my eyes the joints do need extra support and your welding is spot on..... Aaron will give you at least an A 🤓😂 Pleased the engine behaved for you, was awsome to see it moving under its own power !!! 💪😁 Looking forward to you heading back the the towboat later this month too !!!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Excited to finally be back on the KZbin yacht!

[@pattyyoung3570]

If you have wide gaps , put a small bolt across and weld it in the gap.

[@Richard-C]

nice hair cut there Captain, it's really looking great, the Subaru i mean,it will be fun to drive ,great video see you in the next one 👍👍👌

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks!

[@TheGingerGenius78]

Looks great loving your thought process! With your welding are your rods dry make heck of a difference if they are damp ! Try cooking them and seeing if it helps ! Oh and looking forward to seeing the series in the Triple Nickel :) Cling did a great job !

[@pattyyoung3570]

If you have wide gaps, weld in a small bolt .

[@Fatamus]

Video 👍 thankx

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Dan!

[@genegoodman5233]

I’ve been watching Clint for 4-5 years. Always subscribe before watching but this Captain Kleeman channel is making me rethink my way of subscribing.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Trying to figure out what ya mean here, but okay

[@donaldkennedy5604]

Are you going to have steering on the back of that thing also lol? It’s turning into an absolute piece of art bud.

[@iansvecs]

That electric rear steering with winch idea is just genius! Seriously top rate thinking right there. I love the fubar-ru

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Ian!

[@darrelllitherland8880]

i just started welding this year i shake a bit so i cut my rods in half ish and find it easier to start and maintain an ark

[@CaptainKleeman]

Yup!

[@maxg6581]

I think you should devise a way to lock the rear axle straight if you want to only use the steering wheel only.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Definitely

[@stanleymartin1613]

Cool stuff. Well I'm impressed, the subraside moved on its own. Great job on the fab and welding work. Looking forward to seeing the next one 😀.

[@wink9970]

I am enjoying this project so much more than the S.S. Minnow Subscribed and liked.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks!

[@dondwyer3679]

Thanks!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks for watching don

[@clubsprt]

if the Subaru is auto you should have a place to put a fuse that is ladled FWD. put a fuse in there and it makes it front wheel drive only

[@CaptainKleeman]

Good tip! Thank you!

[@clubsprt]

@@CaptainKleeman hopefully you have that option. We do here in Australia for the awd auto Subaru's. Should be in the engine bay fuse box

[@leokeeney6673]

Still going great, Captain.I was going to say, hair blowing in the wind but some body's ⚔️ there's!

[@CaptainKleeman]

😂😂

[@anthonybracknell8368]

If the ranger has the tabs for the ranger 4 wheel drive chunk you could make it all wheel drive .with a few components.

[@CaptainKleeman]

It does not, not that I saw anyway

[@billyhaddock5540]

Congrats Cap, you did the impossibly thing of an adventure and made ur own UTV.. good job..

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Billy

[@markkenes4848]

Awesome job Cpt . Home made UTV !!!!! Nothing like building something and improving your skills and having fun with it. Bet there are some out there that you have inspired to try there hand at building something. And how many times did you burn your fingers ????? I have no finger prints 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Wrick_Slate]

Just watched C&C video bout back ho🥰🥰🥰🥰please video all the stuff you do to it 🥰🥰🥰🥰can’t wait 👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@cole33333333]

Turn the amps down to weld up

[@Fatamus]

Dude your welding has improved greatly. It may not seem like it to you but from here it looks just fine. It just takes perseverance, I think 🤔 you might be related to perseverance with a side order of accident prone. I had my DNA checked with 22.5andMe because I'm not all there.🤣😂🤣 🥴

[@CaptainKleeman]

Maybe I need to check mine!

[@andrewcooper8980]

Grinding and paint helps make me the welder I ain’t

Lookin' good CK, loving the passenger.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks!

[@daverunion2162]

After watching all the fabrication you’ve done, the first thought that flash into my mind upon startup was: IT’S ALIVE!!! (Sorry)😜. Looking good, Mike!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Dave! I was pretty excited myself!

[@pinwizz69]

Captain K, IT LIVES, IT LIVES !*! Frankienbuggy actually moved on it's own and I'm pretty sure it's gonna provide lots of hours of fun once it's done and looking a little bit better. I still think it would make an awesome Halloween prop with some orange and black spray paint and a couple of paper mache figures in it, a mummy, Frankenstien, his wife and a ghost parked at the top of your driveway maybe. The kiddies would love it. Put a little fence around it with a do not touch sign.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Hahaha, that would be pretty funny!

[@bradlewellen7461]

Ok I'm going to do this ... nope let's do this instead ... eh we'll do this ... end result drives it to the shop ... can't wait to see what you do next time keep safe and always remember the wet stuff goes on the red stuff

[@DelButch]

Perfect piece of time juggling and job complication well you got stuff done and that’s a good thing 😅
