Tips for Building a Tube Frame - Project Comancheep

[@MrDudeCZ]

This build's bound to be good, DAMN!!! must be! Actually, it is the second time this channel has made me open up my xj. Based on many, MANY videos from the past I had made my xj, and i was quite happy for a while and then again, new videos, new ideas and then this build...and it made me to start some rather serious work on my jeep again. Im currently working on some body strenghteners and just like Matt says in the video when working on the 4link brackets. It is just days and days of labour, cutting and welding, grinding and rewelding, drilling and redrilling because out of 10 holes there is that bloody one that never matches. Well..if this is not the time to become a patreon then it will never be! THanks again for a great up. Martin

[@bleepinjeep]

Thanks Martin! I'm about to release about 20 videos on patreon for early access of completing this build! Time to make time for binge watching!

[@E-N-A-R-D-L-A-V]

Don't skip too much fabrication Matt. You know that's what a lot of us love to see. As for a ground up build. If you decide to do that, I would suggest starting with a smaller buggy project, a little two seater. Great video dude, love watching this little monster come together.

[@allenmckinney9533]

Tom S ya a small two seater like what Red Beard is building but ad an ls 6.0l. 😀

[@E-N-A-R-D-L-A-V]

You want to cram a Corvette engine into a little off road buggy? I've done crazier.....go for it!

[@69holford]

Fabrication videos and builds are why most of us our here, we like seeing the actual work being done and how to do it.

[@RonaldFinger]

There’s never enough tube videos! I’d love to see more of that. It’s always so fascinating, even if you’ve already shown it before

[@curtisschmit680]

dont skip the tube work i think we all like that work

[@timetable620]

What I love about you is if your gonna do it you do it right

[@mke723]

+1 on the made from scratch vehicle, a Bleepin Jeep Rock Bouncer would be awesome!

[@Dino30ish]

So glad to see more of your videos Matt .. I like the others , but you are the reason I watch this channel ... Another awesome build .. Good Luck ..

[@jessebellis478]

Bleepin Jeep for life !!! Love the progress that you are making on the Jeep !! Your the best !! Highly insperational as always !!

[@doc559]

This is a major league project. Love following the progress 🏆🏆

[@markhendry1761]

Love it! I definitely enjoy the fabrication incl. tube videos. Keep it up Matt

[@78dwk]

i had a 86 2wd when i first started driving,, wish i had it back ,i bought one 8-10 yrs ago cut it up,,put it in a k5 frame bobbed front and rear, on 38" swampers, it was a good rig ,,got in a tight spot and had to sell,keep the videos coming ,,I really enjoying the new project matt ,, like seeing all the progress, tube is the best part,new ideas ,,looks great godbless

[@G-GFactoryMade]

i always love watching tube work

[@jeffkoch4708]

Nice metel work.😉 Can't wait to see the finished product.

[@jakemcgibbon9384]

I am super impressed with those 4-link brackets you made. All the work is beautiful, but I'm really loving those brackets, great job! I Love your channel, I've been watching for years now. I only found your channel because of the fuse/relay box video, I was doing some wiring on a work truck. I enjoyed your channel so much I went and bought a Cherokee. I have learned so much from you over the years I feel like you're helping me build my Jeep. Keep up the great work, I recommend your Channel to everybody.

[@bleepinjeep]

Thanks bro!

[@rickrick281]

awesome video.... thanks for posting the tube frame build portion of the project

[@bghouse2853]

I actually enjoy watching the tube work and seeing you design your build step by step just like the scorpion! Keep up the awesome build vids

[@wyattoneable]

Thanks for the explanation of the "stinger". I was wondering about that.

[@VirginiaPatriotRebel]

Dude that frame is looking awesome.

[@hendrixherrin4187]

Yes! Please do a ground up build I would love to see that as I want to someday

[@Wooskii1]

thanks for finding this video! can't wait for the next. And I would love to see a scratch/ tube frame build!!!

[@littlemancaveontheprairie4753]

That's really cool idea for notching the small chunks of tubing...

[@unclerico8979]

Ready to see this thing finished and in action.

[@redwhiteblue7831]

You're a lot smarter than you look Matt... Nice build, enjoying each one. Can't wait to see the finished product.

[@bleepinjeep]

Hmmm, not sure if that's a compliment??

[@dakota.zimmerman]

Its so weird seeing more work done in previous videos, then less later on. Definitely a cool build!

[@Dhane-0]

I cannot wait to see this thing finished. What a monster, nice work as always Matt

[@jhuntosgarage]

That notching tool is the bomb!

[@MrMrsregor]

anyone know where can i get one and about the cost of one is .?. i do not see it for sale on ebay or amazon...

[@KevinPlemons64]

Got my yoke tool the other day. Thanks for the added surprise in the package, made me laugh! Oh, and the tool works great! Thanks for selling those.

[@sandmansandman6819]

Nice job on job on the 4 link brackets.

[@robertwilbert1317]

Video posted 39 mins ago....just now got my bell notification...way to go youtube...awesome video...love the project

[@thecatfelix2988]

Everything looks nice and strong. Thanks for sharing.

[@gilmeacham8109]

Matt, it's fun to see how you fab'd up the Comancheep rear section and four link mounts, especially after running a trail with you in Moab and seeing how great it worked! Looking forward to seeing "the rest of the story!" Gil

[@bleepinjeep]

Thank Gil! Had a great time wheeling with ya!

[@punkbloater]

It’s looking awesome, untouchable skills!

[@paulnardo7987]

It's going to be a BEAST!!

[@ColoradoMoe]

That thing is looking sick!

[@danhambrick6331]

Nice job Matt...

[@SWBCrawler]

awesome work man. I am jealous of your equipment and skills. Great work!

[@David_Dcal]

Great work as always Matt! Your fab skills are seriously impressive keep up the great work.

[@edsmith5873]

Veeeeerry interestink!! Nice bra' 😎 very nice!! Can't wait to see the finished product

[@JonnyDIY]

*Looks stout!* great job on those 4 link brackets, u are a patient man! :)

[@bleepinjeep]

Thanks!

[@xMikeLynchx]

I like the idea of building from scratch.

[@Jacob-tl8nr]

Great explanation on the stingers Matt.

[@lavachemist]

I'm not sure how applicable this is, but when I took a bicycle frame building class we were taught to do our tacks on the obtuse angle (the angle that is larger than 90 degrees) first. My understanding is that welding on acute side of the angle will pull the pieces together at a tighter angle, so welding on the obtuse side first will help you maintain the desired angle of your notched tubes. Hopefully that makes sense.

[@brycekaty1967]

Put the tail lights in the ends of the tubes!!! Great videos!

[@xXBocephusXx]

Sweet tube work Matt! She's looking good

[@joshuaodowd9107]

Awesome Matt you’re getting pretty good at the fabricating man That thing is gonna be mean.

[@MarcotGarage]

I want more of this Comanche!

[@a-train4854]

Always super informative and an awesome build!!!

[@sandersbaldwin3755]

That is pure genius Matt they're like a mad scientist .. looking good though brother.

[@sandersbaldwin3755]

Thank Matt .....

[@stevenlee6202]

Love all your videos thanks for what you do

[@kevinengland4675]

Scratch build be cool Matt 😁

[@jodymead6343]

Looking good

[@davidleighton5701]

Looking good Matt, I mean I know it's done but still looking good.

[@Alpha_fitz]

Dude that is a great idea. Build an entire vehicle from scratch I would love to see that. Check out hollingsworth's Outlaw that's a bad ass Rock bouncer. Maybe something like that.

[@tacedaddy]

called it last week man... yeh should have ditched the front inner fenders and just made front horns, but the rear turned out slick

[@shawncookson3599]

I really like your idea of building a complete vehicle from scratch. You'd have to come up with a pretty sweet name. Something like Screep. Bleeping screeping lol

[@bradbrabson4475]

The 4 link work at the cab is aweosme. The rear stinger looks silly. Still wish it had bedsides on it to keep a pickup look

[@DavidJones-it9vm]

This is an awesome build

[@mikewiremt]

Just started watching, this is awesome!

[@chopfather2730]

That would be a rock bouncer!

[@RussMcCoydrums]

Nice! I love your builds keep up the awesome work!

[@JUMBOs-RC]

Great work

[@DrHavok1]

Ummm Yup totally interested in the whole build especially all the custom fabing

[@matthewdroz5613]

Love it man.

[@lalolana5522]

MAD MATT!! 🤯

[@alanwheelock1460]

nice work Mat

[@stevectl1]

I'd love to see you do a tube buggy, extreme offroad used to do that kind of stuff but they'd skip a lot and now that ian is gone it's really bad. You should definitely do a ground up build

[@user-ks5ff]

lookin good

[@QuickSpeedShop]

I'm so excited, I'm going to comment first and watch second. This is going to be epic...and tubular to the max!

[@aa999xyz]

Did not know about those tipping bars forward and backwards. That angle you put on the tubing looks awesome and unique. For your next crazy build idea they have those Rockcrawler frame kits just to be welded together everything is measured out for you with a 4 BT twin turbo would make an awesome combination?

[@301steady]

I asked what stingers were for, on you facebook, feeling just a bit dumb; and, some guy answered they were for tearing foliage out of your way; when, your wheelin. Nobody challenged him. After hearing your explanation, now I don't feel so stupid for asking. I'll bet at least 95% of your viewers didn't know that. Thanks for finally explaining that. BTW, if you haven't already, check out BleepinJeep's Facebook page, he's got bonus pictures and video on there.

[@zoexj4872]

Great ideas and imagination, Matt. Diggin the rear stinger setup. How about helping the Jeep engineers get back on track with the next gen Cherokee👍

[@bleepinjeep]

Man I wish I could!

[@Twizter68]

It's called YouTUBE for a reason, Matt!

[@mozpassion8996]

Matt where do you get these ideas? You are gifted man...

[@dandahermitseals5582]

Ok what specifically is the stinger for n why is it called that??

[@jeepindave5464]

Sweet. Btw... i would keep the comanche badges, but cut the X of the xls badge so it says LS for the motor.

[@jacklin694]

Great video

[@craigmeloche2291]

If you cut your second curve first, then moved the pipe up enough to cut a whole circle then you would have one spacer complete and half off your second one done. Without having to use the extender. Just my idea, I'm not a fabricator or welder, just a fan of your channel.

[@bleepinjeep]

See a previous comment;)

[@garrettl9393]

A rock bouncer buggy from scratch would be pretty cool

[@logancapolupo3154]

Yay.. Long video 😊😊😊

[@lazyj1001]

he matt you should paint it back to factory colors so that its got that retro look

[@bleepinjeep]

Why paint it at all?

[@lazyj1001]

that is a good question but what ever you do it'll look good

[@BainBoyd]

BleepinJeep will the tube not rust? Maybe at least rattle can it black or silver

[@LerrySanders]

Sweet video. Like the fab videos.

[@TimGn]

Yay! A Matt vidya!!!🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙

[@willmorton6800]

Why not measure a length of pipe that is the length of x number of pipes +3" and make your 1st cut, then move the pipe down and make your 2nd cut (which also gives you your 3rd cut) and so on and then you will only be left with a short length of pipe to discard or use somewhere else were you only need a notch on one end?

[@traemiller5523]

Will Morton ....I totally agree !!!!!

[@allenmckinney9533]

Will Morton I was thinking the same but it was a good demo for that tool if someone just needed that one piece cut.

[@bleepinjeep]

It's hard on the blade to cut through both sides at the same time, plus most blades aren't long enough to go all the way through which complicates things

[@Ben-lo7cy]

Ruffstuff trailing arms would be awesome

[@mke723]

Cool tool, but just use the notcher to cut a long tube in the middle, basically 2 cuts at once.

[@dre04mach]

LMAO, love the new disclaimer on the vids :D

[@mikerobbins5049]

Making progress

[@PandaOnSkis]

To make the little notched tubes: couldn't you notch a long tube then, movie it down the vice and notch a hole in the middle of the tube so that the small notched tube falls off the long piece

[@oregonisnotabluestatekmats117]

Hey Matt if you ever need a paint job let me know but if not right now is when you should paint that bad boy look great by the way very nice work dude I can't stop watching your videos binge-watching Matt from bleepinjeep😎😎

[@toolologist6274]

Love fabrication videos. I just think some viewers that are still learning would appreciate more explanations on the measurements/math of building something. For example, you can't just build a rear frame out of tubing, it has to be at the correct placement to allow for axle articulation.

[@bleepinjeep]

I just guesstimated!

[@lucasbrumbaugh7476]

hey matt really enjoy your videos how do you get your welds so good i didnt see any gas by your welder! (nevermind i see it lmao) side note you helped me out alot with my death wobble thanks matt!

[@johnhayes9437]

I have a stock 2WD Comanche... 4.0 5 speed. It is a little painful watching you cut up the truck.... even though I know it'll be real nice when it's done.

[@StrainingDingelberry]

My wife says you sound like Toby from the office.

[@TheKillerMarine]

Matt I must say that you are actually really good with pipe. I am building a Power Wagon sorry if like this and I wasted $950 worth of pipe trying to get it right. I must ask do you think that pipe would support the weight of the vehicle?

[@bleepinjeep]

Yep, already wheeled it! Patreon for the win!

[@TheKillerMarine]

BleepinJeep How do I become a supporter of that? Also how did you become so good as pipe work?

[@herschelclinger968]

hey here is a question: What size heim joints would you recommend for a 4 link kit on my zj? Best place to get them cheap. I know you used tmr for the scorpion.

[@bleepinjeep]

1.25" tmr or ruff stuff

[@brettedwards3803]

Great video haven't watched the crawler video yet but probably gonna check it out now. Truck looks awesome also makes me want a plasma cutter. still think intagrating the bed would be pretty cool also. Side note dropping my t-case (Michigan xj 230k) was a lot harder than the video you did a while back.

[@bleepinjeep]

Move south!

[@brettedwards3803]

Only problem is I really like it up here And it's where my people are😉

[@dasutr]

Just wondering how strong the cab is to weld the upper part of the frame rail to it

[@bleepinjeep]

I didn't do that, that's 1/4" plate

[@callmenortnortin467]

Formula for cut lines to make fabricated turns in tubing or pipe,,,,,,, number of degrees of turn divided by number of weldsX2..Exmple being,,you want to make a 90degree turn using 2 pieces of tube. So 90 degrees divided by(the one weld needed multiplied by 2) is 90 divided by 2 which equals 45 and that's your degrees of cut on each piece of pipe,,,,,or! 1 piece of pipe cut on that angle and rotate one pipe half a turn,,there's your 90. This formula works the same for determining turns with several pieces of pipe. You might find The Pipefitters and Pipe Welders Handbook by Thomas W. Frankland invaluable in pipe fabrication layouts. Hope you find this helpful. I enjoy your KZbin channel very much.

[@RedWhiteAndBlueVideo]

No cutting oil on your hole saw?
