I guess I’ll wait on the next WJ build if I have to… But only because the ram build looks CRAZY AWESOME!

[@bleepinjeep]

I’ll give you secret Patreon access special just for you Matt.

[@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports]

Agreed!

[@Fix_It_Again_Tony]

That band saw has as many teeth as an old moonshiner.

[@bleepinjeep]

Lol, so true!

[@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports]

[@wegmandan]

Band saw has a rate for something? Keep it real.

[@jackrichards1863]

Notice of course, being bit by an old moonshiner is sure certain to draw blood. And a good chunk of flesh..

[@smed4900]

If you cut the fenders I usually leave an extra inch of fender and bend it up behind the fender if you want to give it more of a factory look instead of just a cut exposed edge.

[@psg6314]

Just a idea that you back half the jeep and put a mini bed on it that would make it easier for wheel well clearance

[@MyDIYAdventures]

I just put my WJ on 31s and I thought I was big time 😂

[@bleepinjeep]

40s requires some massaging to make fit.

[@douglasbeary7890]

I'm lookin to maybe go 37s on my dub j from 35s, but now I'm looking at maybe a Change of plans. Good thing I have 4 of them!

[@bleepinjeep]

It ain’t cheap going this route but it’s gonna be a mean machine!

@BleepinJeep oh, I'm aware of that lol. Just Empty Every Pocket 🤑

[@DrHavok1]

i am never afraid of a good long video as long as it is good (building a vehicle is always good) an hour or even 3 doesn't scare me... and we can always pause or stop it and come back later... just saying if you make it long... we will come lol... this build has me excited

[@bleepinjeep]

Well you’re gonna like next week then!

[@B.V.Luminous]

THATS WHAT SHE SAAAAAAAAAAAAAID! Obviously I could not resist 🤣

[@garychaiken808]

I’ve installed several spiral staircases. You can disable them to make it lighter. You might have to do that anyway when you go to install it. I’m impressed with the Jeep build. I’ve learned a lot. Good job and keep up the good work. Thank you.

[@unclerico1980]

Great video. Next time you use those curve templates, try using the inside circle to run your torch against and you’ll be able to clamp the other edge then to your part.

[@yepperdeedooda]

If I drove a truck like that in the valley I would look so awesome.

[@98xj64]

No offense but you would look really awesome in it!! A jeep would suite you, I love mine but it's not as nice as these yet. I still 😍 love it though and can't wait to get to fix on it some more. Jeeps are awesome and most guys seem to have the opinion like mine, nothing more attractive than a hot chick in a jeep and or firearms 🤯!

[@98xj64]

I would suggest anyone that hasn't owned one to look into it if they are interested in an off-road capable vehicle. Some like they Toyota's, and they do well in the woods but not hardly as good as a Jeep, their frames rot out really quick. Mostly before you find it or too far gone by the time you do. Awesome vehicles though

[@thousandoaksauto1696]

Hey Fella's, I'm on that same path with my '00 WJ. You guys are a little farther along then I'm. Now I know what to look forward too. Good luck!!!

[@freeidaho-videos]

Spray.... we don't need no sticking welding spray. Use walmart cooking spray. $2.28, works and smells good. The best part about the horizontal bandsaw is that it works while you do other stuff.

[@JW-cn6op]

For ppl that don't have your laser eye to cut tube square with a grinder, a hose clamp works as a nice guide.

[@bleepinjeep]

Great tip!

[@runninonempty820]

That WJ build is like dominoes, one thing always affects another. Looking forward to the Dodge Ram build!

[@bleepinjeep]

seems that way with every build

[@VinnytheSanchez]

@bleepinJeep I had a wj and looked at some of the challenges of big tires and the headlight buckets/fender well. Never got there but I was looking at one of the smaller newer jeep cars headlights as the shape was similar to the wj but might give the clearance needed. I wish I remembered which one, but you are likely past the problem solving of the headlights. its cool to see a wj build the size is perfect.

[@madmodifier]

To be fair your horizontal band saw is junk. My Big Johnson would have chopped that link in half the time of the cutoff wheel.

[@wayneullman5079]

If it hasn’t been said before Matt, you kinda sound like Mr. Rodgers. 😉

[@bleepinjeep]

Google mr bleepin rogers 🤛

[@TAC_Gray_Beard]

Awesome video on the WJ build. Is the Ram 2500 a diesel or Hemi powered?

[@bleepinjeep]

its got a HEMI

[@aaronmcconnell7358]

When you 2 were carrying that staircase I bet both of you were thinking were bleeping colt when you need him.

[@Strider1954]

I've had plenty experience loading things onto elevators but I think you may have beaten anything I ever struggled with. Well played!

[@rattles3044]

A compass to help you find your way........... But a compass does not keep you from getting lost along the way ! 🤔 🙄

[@newmexicoapparatusllc1851]

You can use acetylene smoke to keep spatter off also

[@ToddSwagerty]

Your bandsaw sounded like most of the teeth had zippered off and you only have about 5 teeth left.

[@mclarenscca]

Oh no! Its the infamous 4.7 liter! Hopefully its the H.O.!

[@wendellharker6690]

That was awesome thanks for letting me watch

[@deleglen]

RAM 2500 PROYECT THAT I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED !!!! THANKS

[@keithgaming7027]

It's a UNI-FRAME. Frame rails run from bumper to bumper. Uni-bodies don't have frame rails running from bumper to bumper hence why they make sub frame connectors to improve handling.

[@joshshine2489]

old and set in my ways so it'll be unibody until I die ;) and its considered unibody when the frame is integral to the body, as it is here. Been through this argument before, i don't believe in your new-age un hocus pocus 😂

[@DoctorHayduke]

You might enjoy a Milwaukee 8 inch metal cutting circular saw. If I had to do it over I would buy the corded version (if you plan on cutting sheet goods with it). So fast. So clean.

[@judgehastheword9069]

Matt already broke both driveshafts Just trying it out.

[@zachjones6995]

One that works all the time aka no air lockers cuz they suck...

[@Formerlywarmer]

Very nice guys.

[@slowcountryboy476]

The 432 hz tuning fork you just cut is associated with MindVibrations. True story...

[@bleepinjeep]

[@SlowRideCo.]

I think it would be a awesome idea to do a frame down overhaul giveaway for one lucky sweepstakes winner. ( Me would be nice 😂🤣😂)

I'm really liking the build videos where you explain stuff in more detail. Learned a lot. Should do more videos like this.

[@bleepinjeep]

More to come! We also have 13 years of video backlog with lots of explaining. I’d say the scorpion crawler build was the most detailed if you like custom fabrication

[@liamterry5301]

[@lorton557]

Question here are the versa lockers out of like a 2002 grand cherokee limited any good for off-roading?

[@joshshine2489]

Crawling no not really, they don't kick in until you have some wheel speed going. Mud and hill climbs yeah they help

[@canyonrunner]

Oh, SO MUCH is left to the imagination! A Dodge RAM 2500, a rock-crawler and a nightmare (all with Zero budget). If I were to imagine scripting your screenplay what would be the script's No1. The Setup. I believe this YT video we are watching has accomplished that. No 2. The Catalyst, or call to action like when Indiana Jones learned that were Nazis working with his old mentor. No 3. First major turning point. Harry Potter enters Hogwarts and discovers a new enviornment full of people just like him. No 4. The Midpoint. Stakes are raised, subplots and obstacles encountered. Snape is trying to hurt Harry, Harry's broom loses control. No 5. The Despair. Our heros feel defeat. Maybe they will not succeed. No 6. The Redemption. Bleeping Jeep conceives a winning plan and pushes forward with an attempt that may save the day. No 7. The end. The story wraps up maybe with and perhaps without a happy resolution - depending upon this story's plot that continues for future sequels. Let me get to work scripting the screenplay right now, what material do I have to work with? A Dodge Ram 2500, a rock-crawler and a nightmare. MORE than enough. Oh yeah, I did enjoy the vid and gave it a 👍

[@bleepinjeep]

lol, looks like we need to hire you for our screenplays from now on 😀

[@canyonrunner]

@@bleepinjeep I just watched the Sunday, 2/26/23 posting and it looks like the plot continues for future sequels. I live just a short drive north of the Wrecker Games venue in northern Utah. I'll be there to observe and assure the paid participants of the 'fairness' of the competition. LOL (Actually, I'll be the guy with the fake PRESS credentials tying to sneek into the inner circle). If anyone questions me I will drop your name . . .

[@cjg1482]

Getting the lower link mounts on the axle higher and out of the rocks is awesome. I raised my rear mounts even higher to reduce the rear oversteer (3 link with a panhard).

[@bleepinjeep]

Yes, it’s amazing how much a little here and there can do. 1/2” here and 1” there adds up to a lot when added together

[@joshshine2489]

​@@bleepinjeep yep, 1 1/2 inches 😂

[@jordangryg5442]

you should build something out of expanded metal so you can clamp stuff to your plasma bucket

[@bleepinjeep]

It has holes and dedicated clamps. Just didn’t feel the need for that little cut.

[@RJayRabbit]

Heck yeah! Stoked for this build.

[@martysmilt]

To scribe an accurate line on a round tube I use a piece of angle iron with the angle legs facing the tube. The angle will face the tube and you can scribe or sharpie a line the full length of your tube.

[@acedogg692005]

From the last video he said he was from flordia...What else do they do for offroad other than mud? lol

[@joshshine2489]

Theres a couple parks down there with obstacles, and 1 has some gnarly hill climbs (former mine) but yeah mostly mud

[@machinistr1634]

Another driveshaft option would be a double-double cardan which is what you will find on a late 70's Lincoln Towncar - then anything can be at any angle ... Almost

i wish i knew that IRO would accommodate link lengths. I didn't quite understand how much I wanted to stretch when I bought my kit. You live and you learn i guess.

Maybe you could just buy the arms if you really want to stretch it. Or sleeve it like we do sometimes. We did that on the upper front control arm.
