Isn't it great to deal with a quality minded company that will build your parts the way you want them? Those parts will make a great looking finished product.

[@25vrd48]

Nothing like a well equipped metal shop to get what you want . Places like that are so cool .

[@robertquast9684]

Watching pros work is always enjoyable they make it seem so easy

[@j.c.smithprojects]

yes they did.

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Great job with the video and you can't beat that price! 😎👍 Don't blame you for stocking up on the hitch plates. Glad the trip went good. Soo many new possibilities 🔧

[@haroldphipps3457]

Those parts are spectacular!

[@Diabolical58]

Great video! Very nice pieces!

[@Dumps-R-Us]

@J.C - this is true innovation - you are a professional problem solver!!!

[@mrbill8542]

Well worth the trip to Indiana !!! Good quality stuff !!

[@ryanblosser7681]

I’m in northern Indiana and it’s good to know NWIF is close. That Loves in Plymouth is a nice place but you’re right they have a pretty high diesel price, but I’d prefer to stop there over the next couple options going west on 30

[@kevinlamarr1424]

I’ve passed that place a hundred times now I know where to go for real quality fabrication

[@paulw068]

looks well made, happy that you could let it make there, very interesting, greetings from Belgium

[@kevinhornbuckle]

This is excellent. When you said this opens up a whole new level of productivity, I said, 'That's what I was just thinking.' And safety, too.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

after seeing all the different things they can do, i started making a list of parts i want them to make......on page 3 now.

[@PhilWolfe-tp3tv]

I believe you did well. Have a great day JC

[@ZILAwelds]

Nice job ! All plug and play parts now !

[@j.c.smithprojects]

my list of things i want them to make is getting longer every day.

[@crystaln6242]

Love it buddy that's gonna be a bad ass suspension for that truck.... better then the factory crap😂

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video J.C.Smith glad you were able to get the part's made at NWIF. With your specifications and reasonably priced and high quality products. Thanks for sharing stay safe J.C.Smith.

[@mjMiller212121]

those guys are great. I need them to make me some parts for my truck. Good vid. I really appreciate you sharing the details!

[@greggb1416]

Great company visit, looks like an A-1 Quality outfit. Good to know that there are good samaritan types (ref., the old guy stopping by and running home for parts), what guy, just Awesome…! Great video, Thank you sir.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i tried to pay the man but he said he was broke down once and the man that helped him refuse to take anything but wanted him to help someone else. that is what he asked me to do. not a problem. happy to pass it along.

[@greggb1416]

@ yessir, have been there, done that..,

[@peterkaks4395]

Made in U S A . Nice shop and products

[@tennesseetrucker9622]

That’s why they didn’t rust. Pickled coils are oiled before they are wrapped so they can sit in long term storage.

[@rtz549]

I like those inserts.

[@kevinhornbuckle]

I got excited seeing those. The weld tabs are a great idea.

[@bobbyjones2363]

You make it look so easy ( I know it’s not) Great job

[@billclisham8668]

Sounds like a hell of a deal. It's WELL worth the price for not having to do 3 dozen things to get the same results.

[@Cheese_Piedogi]

Hey Super Trucker!!

[@marksmith-ew7ir]

great find a sauce that meets your needs

[@NathansMoparGarage]

Nice quality parts

[@nelsonmattoon150]

That was a cool shop

[@chrissterling3225]

Nice professional product . Nice find . Off subject : I came across a product online again…maybe you’ve seen it..or a similar name brand….its called spliseal…it’s for electrical repairs…the wires are crimped together…it then goes in a mold…and you apply a sealing compound around the repair with what looks like a hot glue gun . I know I’ve seen it or one similar before…just something to research when you have the time

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i have see that around. i have not used it or looked into it yet.

[@chrissterling3225]

@ I just learned Milwaukee is introducing battery operated random orbital sanders…I might indulge

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i saw that. considered getting one myself.

[@SFS13-01]

Fabulous work! Thanks for the heads up that these people are available. I noticed that you never said and maybe it was intentional but, I’ll ask anyway; what grade steel are you using for the frame liners and rear hitch plates?

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i didnt mention the grade i chose. if i mentioned it, some might take it as acceptable for any application. obviously that is not the case. when planning this, i made sure my materials matched my application and plan of install. i assume your a welder / fabricator. two of the same parts installed by two different people in two different ways yield completely different results.

[@SFS13-01]

@ Understood. Thank you for the reply and I get your reasoning. I also realize that the Kodiak/Top Kick frame will be less tensile strength than a road tractor for example.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

yes. the publications i found show 50k to 80k depending on gvwr, how ordered and chassis length

[@SFS13-01]

@ I was going to guess 50K but decided to leave you alone about it. Thanks JC! Be blessed my friend.

[@johanreibestein4231]

jc"s candy schop (merry chrismas)😁💯

[@josephvantreeck2989]

thx JC

[@donaldcampbell5277]

Now you want a laser cutter.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

nope. i just want to have them do more.
