Recovering from surgery and not feeling well. Then the best thing today, a new Robby Layton video!!!! Awesome!!

[@davestevens4263]

And it's his was a good one that releaved pain , not made it worse. Lol

[@scuzzjumper]

Hang in there! After 9 orthopedic surgeries and dozens of broken bones, I feel your pain. Try to stay positive on your road to recovery and good luck!

[@loose-arrow-garage]

Robbie, I'm the part of the internet that doesn't care if you cut up that grill! Just keep doing what you do. I like how that bumper is looking!!

[@jeffclark2725]

Well said , He makes it we watch it

[@schwartzenheimer1]

Robby, you're an artist! Being able to make that mangled fender look new again just blows my mind...also, the design and bending of that fairlead mount was pretty impressive. Great video!

[@bob3485]

Don't get me wrong. I'm crazy about Matt's channel. Roy's channel and Paul's channel.. but you and the boss. and Hillbilly. Just make this the best channel ever. And thanks for all you do, my friend. Nothing decent to watch on TV anymore. Thanks for putting out those videos. Gives me something to do. Thanks again.

[@rhllnm]

Don't forget the little boss with her jokes.

[@NANKEL1]

Totally agree. All I watch is KZbin from mechanical for enjoyment to recipe for my meal at night

[@joepitts3638]

Robby check out swag off-road for your press brake. It fits into your harbor freight press

[@justingould7348]

In all honesty you should use your OnX elite membership and buy a Warn front winch bumper for a ‘17 Superduty. They look sick on an OBS. 😬

[@AFloridaSon]

I seen the wrecker in action on Owen's channel. Good job, but it really needs lockers. Good to see you do some bodywork. That's where you truly shine.

[@garyfox33]

Definitely liked the old school bumper on the wrecker. I'd honestly add a brush guard around the headlights and corners of the front since you guys do a lot of off road recoveries in the woods.

[@codystepanian9558]

Being honest, those little project like the fender on the tractor are fun to watch. Something a common watcher may need to do on a home project.

[@rogerbrown91]

I'm impressed how well robbie has adopted the ford being the chevy guy he is

[@jacquestubeetvous4981]

Hey Robby, you can make press brake dies that work on your press. You essentially make 2 “v” that fit into each other then bolt them to the press.

[@denniswatkins4666]

As Hillbilly was trying to tell him.😅

[@kawrider750]

Beat me to the punch....use what you have, hydraulic press

[@peterbockholm3176]

You forgot that Robby have a tool problem, he wants at least one of everything. Just like Jay Leno and cars and bikes.

[@alexpearson8538]

I came here to say this too! And to see the MoClamps in action!

[@allenintexas]

even without a brake, you could have bent that a bit easier. Heat??? three little spots. But it turned out ok. Keep on truckin

[@scuzzjumper]

Tools I need for Auto body repair: EVERYTHING.

[@cucina57]

What you did to that tractor was nothing short of amazing!!!

[@esbyota]

swag offroad press brake! When you’re at it send me one too please!

[@Wholistichillsfarmandbeyond]

I’ll take on too while you’re at it!

[@tmacie2]

SWAG Offroad for your small brake needs!

[@funk7875]

It's nice to see you do repairs the right way. I've never been afraid of a hammer and dolly either.

[@larryfisher5796]

It is great to see someone do body work .I'm 79 my Dad and I did body work back in the 50s good job 👍

[@m1cxf]

The more I watch your videos, the more I like them. You have your moment of fun and then you switch almost instantly to teacher mode, and you are so good at that. You manage to explain things in a manner which is both interesting without becoming boring to the more experienced, an incredibly difficult balance to achieve. On a slightly different angle. Have you ever tried lead filling? That would make an interesting presentation.

[@jesseleesamples]

I actually really enjoyed the entire process of fixing the tractor fender. That’s a good example of something an average do-it-yourself-er could try to fix at home. I wouldn’t wanna attempt to fix a nice muscle car or a G-Wagon like you professionals, but id try a tractor fender, so watching the process for a repair like that is actually interesting and very helpful to me. I’d love to see more body fixes like that, where the end result doesn’t need to be perfect. It’d be awesome if you did a project where you teach how to do body work and paint on something at home that an average person can do. Like don’t use your best tools or your paint booth, just use stuff that most people can get or can afford. Keep makin the awesome videos though, love watchin you guys and appreciate the long hours and long videos you’ve been puttin out

[@williamr.kirkland6317]

Thanks. Like watching a skilled sculptor or artist engaged in rendering a private creation that comes from the heart.

[@donwilliams3626]

That tractor is going to look as good as new . . . Oh, it is new!

[@kimetherington2252]

The bumper is looking good! Robby you are a professional who knows his craft! Your body work is what everyone wants in an accident and wants it fixed like it came from the factory. Til next time, take care, and we'll see you on the next. 😊

[@57WillysCJ]

Harbor Freight sells a 30 inch brake roller combo, so does Grizzly and Certiflat sells a small DIY that you weld together and add a bottle jack. Eastwood sells one that you use with your shop press.

[@GuyChapman]

Ignore the haters: this bumper echoes the design cues of the front of the truck. Very cool!

[@gonzalez7805]

Omg , the them orange tractor wheels would be awesome on the treker....

[@Misteryman321]

Taking that bull bar off for lights instead of just mounting a light bar is BLASPHEMOUS

[@TrevorDennis100]

I'm so impressed with Robby's panel beating skills. He made it look easy but it really isn't.

[@DieselKevcop]

I could watch Robby videos daily. Always look forward to his new drops. 💙💛💙

[@michaelchaney5631]

Robby, you leave that emblem and grill alone. Chevy guy here and props must sometimes, and only sometimes be given. She's (the truck) earned it at her age. Tell all those haters to pound sand. Work horses live up to the standards.

[@jackrichards1863]

I don't know why a painter gets powder coating done? That stuff is soft for two to three years, flaking or scraping off pretty easy in those preceding years while its fitted. It doesn't "fall off", that's not what i'm meaning. Anyway. You do the steadiest straightest cuts freehand with a plasma that I ever have seen Robbie.

[@MikeBaxterABC]

15:25 Just for the record :) ... the "Mo-Clamp Deep Hook" is Forged out of Alloy Steel for maximum strength and durability!

[@jeremyjoyce8637]

Appreciate the shot of the Wonderbread car in the background.

[@genejones7124]

Enjoy the detailed filming. So many sites fast forward through interesting procedures

[@JRs-Garage]

Fred’s looking awesome,keep doing what you’re doing we love it !

[@michaelmcclure8673]

The Boss Demri is always right. No matter what.😮😊❤❤

[@kimwatchman644]

Welding trick, those cotton cowboy gloves. Wear them inside your welding gloves for insulation to protect your hands from the burning heat.

[@saintracheljarodm.holy-kay2560]

That works, have a good day and count your blessings amen.

[@artmont9043]

I usually click on Fabrats videos first then Matts of road (depending on their content ill finish the video) and Robby's, but today Its Robby's first because I see wrecker content.

[@arte9855]

You got me 😊 I no sooner finished typing and Hillbilly said it outloud...Use that press in the background as your press brake.

[@drunkchicken8636]

I really enjoyed the tractor body work. Also, you do so much more than others realize when fixing cars, Yo have to know so much extra and pull motors and put everything back. We the customer think you just pull parts off and fix, repaint, but that other stuff we seem to forget. Awesome job!

[@sim2do]

You have a bering press now 2 bits of angle iron and whalaaaaaaa a press brake

[@terrymitchell7714]

You guys are like the A-TEAM, I love it when a plan comes together. Nice bumper

[@berlynreed4253]

I bet with some scrap metal and a bottle jack, you could build your own press brake! My ex brother in law and I built a roll around portable frame straightener out of an old engine hoist! Worked great for back in the 70s!!

[@northjohnston8642]

Even tho it was kinda bulky. That big bumper woulda been nice too stand on if ya had too work on something. Also coulda made some tool holder on it as well. Or corners could have been boxes. For ropes and all that.

[@Les_Burris]

Robby has a steady hand with that plasma torch, my cuts look like I'm drunk if I free-hand it. 😂

[@clipper1083]

You say that your not that good with the plasma table but you do awesome work with it and have impressed me with the work you have done on it over the last 6 or 7 months that i have been subbed to you. Also I seen the video from Owen Barlow (it came up in my feed due to your name in title) where you used King Fred to recover that rolled over crawler for that guy and I think you should do a video Collab with that Owen Barlow where you show him how to use a body puller to help straighten some of the bad parts of that crawler. Videos where you show how to do body work are some of my favourite 👍

[@UncleGo67]

You should put a Quick Disconnect for Jumper Cables…? Love the Old to New Projects…😎👍✅

[@maxironpaw]

Good variety here. Fab and body work. Nice.

[@MikeBaxterABC]

The old grill looks GREAT .. I would have notched it the same myself! :)

[@noonehere1793]

GREAT JOB CUTTING UP THE FORD GRILL!👍👍👍👍👍👍building something out of nothing is a true art….and when you start with a ford you are pretty much starting with nothing ….

[@cfs176]

Robbie, try using a straight edge with your plasma torch, it will make your cuts look amazing.

[@808SSCamaro]

That's a lot of work for a tractor! It must be a show tractor 😀 With as much cutting of the wrecker bumper, you might as well have started off from scratch 😀 Thanks Brothers for sharing! Take care! Eddie

[@timparker7885]

SWAG Offroad makes a DIY finger brake kit that fits in the HF 20 Ton press, so it will bend anything that fits between the uprights of the press.

[@paulrivers7248]

20:50 i was thinking the same exact thing "dont give hillbilly any ideas"😂 then Robby said it lol

[@chiliman321lb]

you got Madd Skills bro...can't wait to see what you do to that 57!! Thank you for sharing...

[@edwardsimmons3721]

Trimming down that bumper after adding a wench really lightens the load on the front end.

[@tjsr.6053]

Since you have easier access to the headlights, either get halos or clear headlights with LED light bulbs since y'all got the high amp alternator

[@UncleManuel]

Oh you're getting straight lines mit a straight edge? What a shocking surprise! 😁😁😜😜🤘🤘

[@kenadams2799]

Robby. I’ll bet you could straighten a fender , with a rock, and you’d make it look awesome. You are a metal manipulation master.

[@doug9418]

Yes, he definitely needs tires that size. Can you just imagine 😅 the fun, ease of rescue,, it's endless what he could with tires that size 😅.

[@goatskullrebellion4800]

This channel just gets better and better. Keep up the great work! 🤘👍💪

[@kencrouch668]

The body work on the tractor was interesting!

[@xxBlazinBobxx]

Liking the new sleeker front bumper! I'm sure better for off-road use. So much cool fabrication on King Fred! Maybe your channel should be "Robby Layton Fabrication Nation." 😁

[@willb3018]

Best improv since Robin Williams.😉😁

[@randallparker8477]

As you were talking about needing a press break we could see your hyd press behind you, you just need some big v blocks of different angles.

[@jon_craftingo.o4686]

Thanks for another nice video without scripted plugs! Earned a like and a comment from me!

[@bryduhbikeguy]

>'Electric Lockers'

[@darrylphipps2221]

I like The idea of it being little up Like Christmas Tree ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@stephenprosser2621]

U have a press break right behind you. Your harbor freight press build some removable brackets to put on it and BAM press break!

[@MartinRodriguez-yr4gf]

for that heavy grinding, get a 9 inch grinder. The best being a black and decker wildcat

[@ItsVisionsYT]

show more painting!!! paint kitchen & paint booth stuff!!💯 keep up the good work love your videos man

[@ge3186]

"I don't want to break this window".... immediately pulls out a bigger hammer..!!!

[@Jammer.1]

Note for Steve when running the cam show what is being talked about instead Robbie So we can see what he is talking about !

[@richardgordy2080]

If I run across one I will personally bring it out to you, a front bumper that has storage boxes for snatch blocks and yankums.

[@swimmer6890]

SWAG off road makes a press and a finger press that fits the HF press you had right behind you when you said that. I like mine. Actually used it to make my winch bumper as well.

[@COM70]

Man you are really quite good free hand with that plasma cutter ❤

[@clintonsmith9931]

First thing The welding instructor taught me in class was that leather gloves retain the heat on your hands. Use cotton gloves. He was right 60 years ago. He was a oilfield welder. I would think they would have fire retardant cotton gloves by now. I have used plain cotton gloves many years.

[@remorrey]

I agree...

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

I've always liked plain cotton gloves too because my hands sweat, but they were very difficult to find ten years ago. I purchased gloves that claimed to be 100% cotton but when I received them they were labeled 50/50 cotton polyester and they burned easily. I found thin cotton gloves to use as a liner in leather gloves.

[@brianconn2727]

Swag offroad for the press break. 19 inch and works with harbor freight press. I switched my jack on press to a hf pneumatic jack. This set-up works great.

[@JeepinJoe]

Add drain holes in bottom of winch bucket.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Time will come. Thanks again for sharing 😊

[@gonzalez7805]

These have to be the most entertaining body work tutorials available..... great show guys...

[@stevencherrett-eb6zh]

Expertly tacked in place

[@opendstudio7141]

Curious Mo-Clamp test; stuff used in the hidden world of metal manipulation. Might be interesting to see some of the tools in that kit demonstrated. Like what situation the corner tools would be considered for frame work.

[@01cdave]

Robbie = champion de-messifier!

[@TheOldaz1]

Fred's front is starting to come together nicely and nice job on the tractor. Thanks guys.

[@kevinm3059]

No problem for a couple body guys to pound that fairlead mount into the shape you want.

[@mattc.310]

The tow truck grille and bumper mods look awesome. That winch fits like a glove. Can't wait to see what else you are planning for the bumper. Nice work on the Kubota. Hopefully, the shipper foots the bill for the repairs so the dealer doesn't have to eat it.

[@bryanmcdermott4204]

Robby is the metal whisperer.

[@davidcolesr.8628]

Young Man, You are Living the Good Life, Steve & I Share in the Wisdom Dept. But you are Wise beyond your Years in my opinion. Quite an Empire the Boss is Building 😂, I know who wears the Pants Layton! I’ll catch you on the next one, Keep it Safe Out There Sir

[@johnkranz4004]

The bumper is looking very good Robby Nice job on the tractor Guys

[@guypehaim1080]

You can go on line and get plans for a pree brake and build your own.

[@LostandRefound]

That tractor looks better than it did from the factory.

[@abelvalle6188]

Metals easier to shape when its hot. Great vid thank you

[@looklookerlooking]

Eastwood has a small 2' press brake, and a small 3in1 press brake.

[@jamesd.3847]

you should name the wrecker ROBABILLY RECKAH! Since you Robby and Hillbilly built the wrecker together. LOL

[@dalefan9879]

Try using crescent wrenches instead of pliers and it will work a lot better for you and you'll have a better bend and you won't be chewing up your metal like pliers do

[@user-bg4ry7nr1f]

Swagg Offroad sells a great small heavy duty press break. I bend 1/4" mild steel on a reg basis

[@williamwatkins1264]

In Texas you would have left the bar on the bumper to keep deers out of your grill.

[@jasonbrogdon8841]

Hook a chain too both chains and stop damaging the wall👍👍👍👍🙏

[@jerrickmiller8128]

Swag offroad has awesome press brakes and metal working tools.
