You are really good at asking the right questions to help noobs like me understand wtf is going on, much appreciated bro.

[@WingsWorldChannel]

That is the goal! I figure it is best to ask questions that I know viewers may have!

[@bravowhiskey4684]

Just build the cut table into an adjustable height fixture, so you can use it again without cutting. Think ahead now and save trouble later.

[@WingsWorldChannel]

This would be a much better long term solution! I believe Christian was just eager to get things done on the truck and wanted to save that problem for later.

[@bravowhiskey4684]

@@WingsWorldChannel I would have done the same thing. I meant going forward, I would build that table into an adjustable fixture, rather than weld it back together. His prototype idea was solid. 👍

You guys to great work!!

[@noahs_fab_life6018]

You should sale that back half id totally be a customer 🤘🏼

[@Nickwillfixit]

Looking good, love the tubing work, but just wondering about the swaybar fitment.

[@burtgummerVerified]

I wish I had a big brother or best friend like Christian. Ryan is getting a badass ranger👍

[@EM29011]

I'm back-halving my Ranger at the moment. I'd like to know about the key characteristics you look for when cycling the 4 link, such as pinion angle, lower link mount angle, anti-squat, etc. I have tried to find information specific to prerunners, but most of the linked trucks out there are mamalonas so I can't find much info.

[@bigworm6442]

Why don’t you guys do a Walkabout video on Kris’ Bronco (Morning Dump) from Shock Seals? You’ve worn his Shock Seals shirt on a video before and that thing is legit. Guarantee it’s seen more Baja miles than a lot of other rigs out there. He’s also building a badass Ford beam truck for a future feature.

[@TheMrRyanV]

Asahhh dudes! Killer progress and work as always guys ! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@codyblock1754]

Gotta video the work being done ! Would so sick to watch as you guys talk thru the updates! Getting ideas for my single cab truck as well!

[@tombrenes2411]

Awesome content Great build series Love all the hard work

[@CharlyCoulange]

Does anyone know what kind of tubing they use? Stainless or aluminum?

[@RobRJFab]

Very cool guys. Good work and good job explaining the process. Keep it up.

[@WingsWorldChannel]

Thank you Rob! That means a lot coming from you guys!

[@jimmymartin7209]

Killer work, what size are the shocks and bypass

[@srxdriguez]

I’ve been watching all the videos on this series and wow, amazing craftsmanship and great explanation on everything done to the truck.

[@thomasrustan2577]

you guys might here this alot but as a beginner to prerunners and fabrication, these videos have been hugely informative! thank you so much guys!

[@darrenvohs]

Way cool channel guys, keep cranking out the awesome builds and content!!!

[@dirtydezertmind3033]

Yo the intro song 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@thingsforgotten2254]

Curious why you went with the forward mounted lower link tabs on the axle. Huge loads down there

[@dirtydezertmind3033]

B pillar draw down tubes being on off set plains like that looks soo damn good

[@Johnny_pisteo]

I'm curious on how you gonna mount the seat belt harness

[@WingsWorldChannel]

We will go over in this in one of the next videos when seats are getting mounted!

[@S_Stanley29]

Another sick Vid! Keep up the good work you both!!

[@danielbaker4395]

Killer fab work! Good luck with VD!

[@Thatguyoverthere760]

Damn !! Shakin & Movin !! Let’s GO

[@nanate8190]

I’d send you guys my Cummins in a heartbeat

[@gerby1818]

So glad you guys are getting videos out again 🙌

[@planb8520]

Awesome work, your killing it! Would be good to see some action vids of the progress work!! The node joints in the fuel cradle, do you use overlay plates or leave them "as is"?

[@WingsWorldChannel]

We will try and get some more shots during the process of things, however, it is difficult for me to get actions shots as I go to school out of town and am not home too often! I interpret your question as incorporating overlay plates that capture all the tubes in the node and welding that plate in. If that is the case, I do not believe Christian has the intention of doing so.

Truck is turning out bad ass

[@G-Tech10]

Nice work!

[@donniejones8335]

Can you do a backhalf on my truck?

[@WingsWorldChannel]

hit up Vital_Designs on instagram to get quoted!

[@707SLAYER]

lets here about the power plant ..

[@WingsWorldChannel]

i believe we spoke about that a little bit in one of the previous videos, but for now he is keeping the 4.0!

[@Moneygrip]

Got the fresh shoes lets goooo

[@WingsWorldChannel]

knew you would be pumped!

[@Moneygrip]

@@WingsWorldChannel you know it boys

[@dominicborchmann68]

what size tubes are being used?

[@GETM0NEY168]

curious as well

[@thezombikilla]

2 inch .120 wall and 1.75 inch .095 wall. I'd guess he probably will have some 1.75 .120 wall in there too.

[@dsshowerpan]

Freaking San Diegoians dude, always over doing it.

[@ChristianEwingVD]

What does that mean? 😂

[@dsshowerpan]

@@ChristianEwingVD it meant good job on the back half, all the thought that went into the miters and where they land. Over built, really nice. Didn't have much time to type, was 11 beers into a 12 pack. Also I live in Rancho Cucamonga so there's that.
