[@danielpeterson2843]

Yeah not gonna happen.

[@tahustvedt]

That feeling when you just ran one of the header tubes under the motor mount... then locked the motor in place with a cage.

[@OtisFlint]

Love the cutting, grinding, and welding near open exhaust ports. Literally watching MIG spatter fly into the exhaust ports. Header build was hack.

[@thezombikilla]

Also welding near exposed shock shafts, good way to ruin brand new shafts and seals.

[@rogerrr1012]

and the coilovers

[@SuzukiAnthony]

somehow they made a perfect representation of absolutely how Not to build a truck in every way imaginable. And did it, while keeping a strait face and professional tone the entire time. 🤔 i still dont understand how they didn't get a single thing right 😂 That my friends takes skill 😆

[@larrybrinley8222]

Straight face.......

[@billhicksmcgee1181]

Damn man, these shows are hilarious. They all mig weld right next to windows, shocks, engines without covering any of it. All I can say is anyone doing this much fab, do your "race" quality paint job once your done. PS. Check out that cage roof haha

[@kyleschlegel6524]

Perfect video of how NOT to build a prerunner. They are in for a rude awakening if they ever finish this death trap. Dead tubes everywhere..

[@richmonsmith9308]

Who else started counting how many God dahm problems we seen?

[@11green11]

That header wrapped around the motor mount was spectacular😆

[@ragnarfoxtrot4622]

The amount of fucking gaps!

[@billsballsrackets1771]

Ya, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm not trying to be negative but the gaps in the roll bar tubing are bad. People need to understand why it's bad though. The reason it's bad is because the gap is bigger than the thickness of the tubing. This means your filling the gap with filler metal. The amount of heat input to that area will harden the metal and make it prone to cracks. Also you don't want weld material to be using like JB weld. I know to some this may seem to critical but if your building a cage, it's to protect you and it can't be reliable if your welds aren't correct.

[@anomilumiimulimona2924]

Yea these "dudes" suck some.. well you know.

[@luciankristov6436]

Richmon Smith all kinds of design flaws...holy dogshit this is bad!

[@derek6187]

Haha, this is good stuff! Very funny; it's like the *theory* of fabrication, with a bunch of practical jokes.

[@austingladden1129]

10:53 I need to cleanse my eyes after seeing that cab cage 🥴

[@devonmartinbasson]

exactly lol! ... i paused the video and just stared in disbelief. hahaha....wtf.

[@JorgeRodriguez-po7kx]

Powernation is my favorite program every Sunday Morning even if I stay off late watching TV I Just set my alarm clock not to miss it I Love It !

[@keithw372]

didn't realize DOM had a seam?

[@notmybadd]

It does but it is flattened by the mandrel. That's why it is drawn

[@aschnaub1]

That gap on the B pillar is SCARYYYY wide. Holy hell.

[@brainmeier3433]

But a woman did it so it’s good and if not you’re a sexist

[@rodneyhoadley3167]

I thought I was the only one that noticed all the craziness going on

[@WeisCarl2000]

so im guessing the motor is a permanent fixture lol :-)

[@nathanbryson559]

I noticed that aswell

[@imfloridano5448]

A lot of cuttin to get the engine back out. I think this truck is destined for a cliff which makes it a one tyme use truck.

[@AlexMaciel241]

@@imfloridano5448 i second that

[@fullsendsornosends1176]

I did find that odd... i feel like it should be able to be removed somewhat easily... but its in there good

[@dustinwolfe9591]

This is how they did it, not necessarily how you should do it... in case anyone is actually looking for advice or is planning on doing something similar.

[@luciankristov6436]

How do you plan on pulling the engine out? Lol... Wtf

[@shaneward6689]

Was thinking the same thing....lol such a trap

[@craigarcher7594]

Exactly! Or service anything?!?

[@elvocajr7984]

yes, dead- doubt the valve covers will come off either OR the custom headers without cutting crap outta the way🤣

[@wsfwsf1497]

No need---put it on CL

[@nathanielauger1433]

Guess they dont plan on fully welding the tubes for the roll cage, or taking off the header to fully weld that since its wrapped around the engine mount.

[@frankbradleyjr]

Good to see these on KZbin

[@bryanreyes3084]

Makes me feel good about my fittings lol and I use Mild Steel on cages for giys that are on a budget but I dont try and hide it and call it Dom then make it obvious that its not like at 7:08 xD nice build tho even with the slugs welds and crazy tube fittings xD if it works it works

[@samsgarage99]

Man I miss watching this show so long I'm so excited to watch this again thank you so much powernoiton

[@ecogiful]

I think Eliza might have been a thickness hire.

[@mr.christopherp.4851]

I would hire her but she wouldn't be working on cars/trucks just standing in the showroom looking pretty she is beautiful and my kind of chick love her enthusiasm but not her skills hope she has better skills elsewhere wink wink

[@dantheautoman3821]

No measurements, no marks. Just slip this piece of tubing here and weld...this coil over can be eye balled, it’s cool....

[@mr.christopherp.4851]

Um it's ok its only people's lives in danger that's all no need to be exact

[@chasentiratira8076]

lmao all these comments are spot on

[@ericdavenport4040]

Nice massive gap between the plate and the roll bar..... no need to weld the sandwich plates we've got nylock nuts....no time for attention to detail between product commercials huh?

[@patrickbangura6873]

You guys are the best among the rest 👍👍👍

[@joshlawrence4512]

Ummmmm you have to remove a motor mount just to remove a header.... I get there's not much for space there but that's poor planning in fabrication

[@rodneyhoadley3167]

It's funny how you see all these people telling them what a good job they're doing hopefully they do that as a giveaway and somebody that gave them a thumbs-up when's that truck

[@marcelnunez3525]

so much wrong with this video. the welded seam on the tube clearly shows thats NOT DOM tubing, dead tubes throughout the chassis and that super form fitting roll cage HAHAHAHA. why didnt you use the engine cage to mount the shocks line normal people instead of building a hoop literally directly under. getting paid to misinform people. awesome! is this a segment on CNN????

[@RonnieBravo_]

This is definitely not dR approved! Maybe needs some Marci-Tech help! Haha

[@wsfwsf1497]

No, Faux News.

[@chris092183]

I was like did she just say DOM? Gap city Gap City bitchh. Didn't you used to prep for Jono?

[@leoa4c]

What a pro job...

[@matthewskaggs3792]

good luck getting to that motor mount and to the motor for that matter....

[@mattg8787]

and thy just ran the header around the motor mount to he must be a ex ford engineer

[@fukkyoutube]

i dont think that engine is coming out with those bars still there

[@chrispitts9010]

That’s what I was thinking holy hell

[@mikedavis9923]

Shouldn't the roll cage plates be different sizes as to not cause a mechanical shear point for the sheet metal?

[@MichaelOKeefe2009]

This show is literally a spiritual successor to "Xtreme 4x4".

[@theupscriber65]

Recycled version.

[@knatt405]

That's dope showing a female working to bring it together.

[@austindrumm7187]

Siiiiick gnar broooo

[@RyanMcIntyre]

I'm guessing that cage never needs to pass tech. Or the engine ever needs to come out.

[@edwardmyers1746]

Better hope that engine is reliable

[@ForcedFoxbody]

Funny watching this my ranger is painted super close to this, I copied more of an rs200 look. Plan to eventually build this or another ranger into a prerunner

[@ForcedFoxbody]

Disclaimer: In no way do I ever plan to build anything with these techniques

[@mr.christopherp.4851]

Don't do it the way they did it and it will probably be ok.. use this vidjao as a what not to do

[@NorthViewModelShop]

At least she’s good to look at. And the hate reply’s start in.....3.....2......1.....

[@mr.christopherp.4851]

No hate here I agree 1000% bad ass babe just not a fabricator

[@carlosbishig1]

Beautiful job guys and hello from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

[@toomasargel8503]

traction mats- in estonian language lumesild- snow bridge. Yes here are snow at November until end of March

[@Ironhatchy]

Those welds give me nightmares.

[@paulcorrea714]

Guarantee he never completely welded the headers. How could he?

[@dinkydotzero]

wow these shows have really dropped off quality wise

[@pr5.0be87]

So I wasn't the only one cringing when I saw those welds or the fact that she couldnt even cut the roll cage straight for the floor mount. I'm sure that will be a real strong point.

[@aftermathhotrods2439]

No shit! I fab better at home after half a bottle of jd. Buy tabs that fit your tubes for shit sake. Where is Ian? Laughing his ass off probly.

[@brettbates6699]

Look at the top of that cage as well. Yeesh. The quality of the show isn’t the only thing in the dirt...

[@joshlawrence4512]

Yeah.... I'm 6 mins in and needed to pause and read some comments because I can't believe I'm watching a header built in a way that it can't be removed from the truck without removing an engine mount

[@g__wizz]

as soon as they painted the cab i was like WTF? how you going to cut the roof off to weld the top of the cage... and here i am wondering if its going to be tight lol...

[@Elmiki007]

Working with elisa would be awesome

[@donjohnbanuelos5941]

I guess that engine is permanent there. I guess these guys are just janitors at that place and just happened to see a camera laying around. Haha

[@fishpast1]

god I miss Ian

[@danielpeterson2843]

He has his own show now here on youtube you can still watch him over these sorry excuses of hosts

[@g__wizz]

hes not much better.

[@fishpast1]

@@g__wizz take that back Ian is leaps and bounds ahead of these clowns he is a brilliant fabricator while these guys could hire stevie wonder to do a better job looking at the size of their gaps

[@danielpeterson2843]

zimmermann while I agree ian isnt the greatest.. hes definately far better than these goons.

[@chrisbali5246]

She is a knockout with skills!

[@bryanbarralesgarcia2762]

I like the project but damn are y’all even thinking about how hard it’ll be to work on that engine. The engine hasn’t even started and it looks like it’s getting a whole cage

[@builtbyeye4167]

where does one even begin. just give up they don't belong anywhere near building these cars unless its sweeping the floor.

[@CodyTeichert26]

Alright so everybody here sees the primary running under the motor mount, that’s not really a huge deal, you just support the engine and pull the mount to remove. Not ideal, but working at a race car shop, sometimes you don’t have a real choice. That engine cage trapping the motor is crap. You need to have EVERYTHING thought out when you build one of these trucks, and a lot of this was spur of the moment fab work from my observation.

[@xTinBenderX]

14:07 es·pe·cial·ly

[@danielpeterson2843]

Hahaha its pronounce especially

[@humanitynow1565]

Eliza ❤

[@craigarcher7594]

Ian is rofl! I’m no fabricator but wtf are they thinking??

[@Arykperry]

If it weren’t for the worlds worst welds I’d have to wonder how to pull that motor out but I’m guessing it’s going to fall out when those welds break !!!

[@drewt3210]

Sooo, why are there ZERO finished welds shown??? HINT: We know why.

[@thezombikilla]

You can see a couple from a distance and they look like ass.

[@red1inerr113]

Lost any respect for this show when they trapped the exhaust behind the motor mount.

[@edwardmyers1746]

Cmon bro just pull the motor to get the mount out ya know! Just kidding 😂😂

[@andrewreed7607]

Your like my ex doesn't know what your doing... Who the hell holds the angle grinder/ cutter at that angle. Good luck with the weld

[@drewt3210]

This is the exact comment I scrolled down for. Was wondering wtf they'd do with the crazy ass gap. I guess tight fit-up doesn't really matter for safety???

[@ppshouse]

That’s what you get when you combine a butcher and a fridge salesman...

[@andrewmckenna7032]

Oh. My. God. I feel bad for whoever is riding in this thing if god forbid it flips over. And if I see anybody walk out from a shop even resembling either of them I’m leaving to a different shop.

[@JackTulsen77]

Wow. This build is still up? I figured they would have taken it down after how the comments tore into this hack job.

[@larrycalvin]

Yes awsome but will it have ac???

[@fadi_koka]

How you going to remove the exhaust headers wtf

[@PitBikeAmigos]

Whats the best way to tie the c pillars to the frame in a xlt cab?

[@adamray2391]

I just want to know what chop saw they have

[@cleaduskolache8519]

I beams?

[@andywagoner4869]

I thought that would be a great idea too. Much easier as well since it came with ibeams from the factory.

[@GoofyHoonie]

Welds would definetly pass pass tech

[@jakeflythehi]

Good luck pulling that engine... or just even removing the header without cutting it out...

[@bobharding1667]

Do you have to remove the engine to remove the header?

[@bobharding1667]

They can't even finish the welds with the header attached and they can't attach the header with the engine installed.

[@davemakiato7982]

As much as we hate on these guys, i know if they handed you the keys and said have at it most of you would jump right in and go haul ass. Hell, I know half of you have rallied a stock honda civic or truck in the dirt at some point lol. Although sometimes the execution is poor, it does provide a basis on what is should somewhat be like. For example, building the headers, yes it might not be the best way to do it, but after watching this, I feel like I have a decent idea of what building a set is like and how I should go about it. Just my input.

[@edvardmorra372]

Круто!ещё бы на русском языке, давно искал подобное видио,на русском нет такой информации

[@clayleto1719]

Ian and what's her name made this a good show. They knew how to fab and they knew 4 wheeling. THIS is just bad. I wouldn't blame a backyard mechanic for making these mistakes, but this is a how-to style show. You can't tell people that this kind of work is acceptable. Every shot of this episode had multiple mistakes.

[@theduke2398]

Is it bad every time he starts the mig I shut my eyes.

What the hell are the green things around/under the welders wheels

Wait a sec did he just wrap that header around the motor mount.

[@lynnbell6374]

I miss Jesse

[@fbombfab1606]

That was a pretty crappy cut on that tube. Plus one plate should be bigger than the other to help prevent shearing.

[@matthewdrehobl2835]

Even the narrator sounds sad all the old crew is gone. So sad.

[@dirtyrider098]

that floor plate to tube cut is god awful at 15:13

[@bobmalaguti623]

The producers of these shows need to understand that the audience most likely has some hands on experience with vehicles in general. So things like this shit sandwich of a show just aggravate people more than anything. Disappointingly say the least.

[@joshlawrence4512]

As a professional mechanic..... my eyes hurt watching this
