Trying To Make Liberty Stronger But Everything Breaks

VOTE HERE:
www.onxmaps.co...
Hey my lovelies,
This weekend was a fight lol the way but managed to get half of the strengthening done to the unibody!
Still feel good about this and really looking forward to telling you in detail my plans on why I'm making the unibody stronger and showing you the design plan for everything.
Thanks for watching

I think all small business people need to hear this. 1 of the best things I learned with mudding drywall knowing when to stop" take it back, get a refund, exchange the tool, talk with others business owners, crowd source "

[@skyviewsy9100]

On your voltages for the welder you need to check across the hot leads. Also check for good connections on all the wires (outlet side and at the breaker box but leave the breaker box for a licensed electrician). Another thought, since you were checking volts on a Sunday, there may not have been as much load on your electric company (other users off line). Good luck.

[@MagentaRV]

Yes, check across both hots, it should be 235-250V. You should also test under load. Hook the tester up and actually do a test weld to see the drop. Also, I don't think ground should be bonded in a commercial building (because I think they're all subs which aren't supposed to be bonded). Test ohms from neutral to ground and there shouldn't be continuity.

Boy! You are learning so much. It seems troubleshooting teaches valuable lessons. Sometimes I call it tuition. In the end Hollie will be Valedictorian of the class!

[@seanjones9563]

Hey Holly one thing you might want to check. Coming from a guy that uses a welder and plasma cutter EVERY SINGLE DAY in a shop lol..one thing I've learned this time of year is, "FAN PLACEMENT ".. be sure to pay attention to where you set fans because if they are blowing anywhere near where your cutting or welding they can affect it tremendously!! If your welding it can blow your shielding gas away.. and if your cutting it can cause interference with your cut.. might not be your problem but it could be 😅

[@JT_70]

I always enjoy your music selections Holly! They reflect your musical background and wide taste in music.

[@3LBane1974]

Voted. Next year, please find an AMC Eagle Wagon lol.

[@jeffreymorris4827]

I love the eagle wagons. Been looking for one for 10 years. Rust protection wasn't big in the AMC world.

[@MischiefMakerTV]

There were 2 here in Utah for 2,500-3,500 but I didn’t want to spend that much out of the budget.

[@3LBane1974]

[@JDZiemba1773]

All the joy of a unibody plus another 50% more weight (unless it's all rust).... you would definitely need to full cage n tube n at some point ur cost benefit analysis is on its head ❤️🇺🇲

[@MrDeticus]

For the welder, I would look into the switch circuit. It typically continues flowing gas after you let off, so maybe the switch works as you are pulling it in, but at full finger pull it is opening back up.

[@kimwatchman644]

Now, that i heard what you said. You need to check the voltage. If the outlet is not putting out enough. The plasma will shut down. Do you have enough Amperage? He checked voltage. Big difference.

[@robertr4193]

Best of luck Holly at least you still have some time to get the jeep done. Just hope all the ghosts in the machines get exercised soon.

[@angelmatos5987]

This work on the Liberty is very interesting. I am excited to see the chassis work finished. I will follow your videos so I can learn more every day, guys.

[@marshallanderson4609]

Had issues with my ESAB plasma cutter also...went to a Hypertherm and haven't had any issues for years! I have never owned an ESAB welder, but Lincoln and Miller have never let me down! Can't wait to see the Liberty Bibberty finished!! Voting every day!

[@gophersk]

Welder and Walter. Two of the most important things for Holly Cheers from Canada

[@forreststrong797]

A little tip when it comes to welding unibody stiffeners on jeeps is the metal is galvanized or zinc coated or something like that and you need to remove the coating or you get nasty welds that have yellowy or white scum around also the smoke is toxic when welding that stuff. If you pay close attention you can tell a slight color difference when you get through the coating to clean metal. Just something to note if you run into that kind of thing.

[@eeassa]

Please wear a mask guys when using that metal prep wheel. It puts out a lot of fine metal into the air.

[@zachorytoth6091]

As the owner of a sas kj i feel your pain. I dont even have to watch to know what your dealing with. But im still going to watch 🤷‍♂️🤦

[@MischiefMakerTV]

I’m so excited for this vehicle to be back out in the rocks. I’m hoping to have the frame strengtheners done this week and focus on the axles this weekend. 😊

[@thorzeens]

and it works fantastic to the metle prep tool

remember CORDED TOOLS are your friend, Cordless tools are nice for out of the shop needs ,when you finally get used to using that 7 in. Grinder with a real grinding disc (not a flap disc) nobody will be able to keep up with you and you will wonder why you are getting so much more done, keep up the good work love the channel 👍

Had the same issue with the air hose leaving the chat on my plasma cutter. The regulator was bad. My JK overheats. I have a new radiator, water pump and thermostat waiting for the rain to stop so I can put it all in. I miss having a shop to work in.

[@maddogjodie1891]

Weld through primer would help. All the metal that you stripped down, spray weld through primer on it, turn the heat up slightly higher than you normally would and burn it in. Prevents rusting and helps the metal weld better. I dont use gas. I use flux core and it penetrates better. Doesnt look as pretty and its alot slower, but deeper welds equal stronger welds

[@mikaelljungberg1019]

God luck onnthe projekt Holly and crew

[@ggalland1]

Sucks to have good plans and lots of help but then suffer equipment trouble. Still pushing in through it tho and keeping that awesome smile! I am sure you will have it all figured out in no time. Keep up the awesome content and thank you for sharing

Im so sorry to mention this again but i see 4+ drawers open again on that big blue tool box again!! I sure hope and pray yall dont learn the hard way like i did!!! Time is so precious and so is safety and reloading tool boxes takes time thats needed for the build and safety of someone in the way when it goes down is ALOT OF WEIGHT!! I really need to send a picture of my box falling over just so you can see the chaos of a tipped over tool box

[@neilfromclearwaterfl81]

When checking voltage you can be deceived by good voltage readings when there is no load so its best practice to check with no load and then with a load on the receptacle to see if your getting a severe voltage drop under load. If there is a voltage drop under load it can be anything from a failing main breaker to the wire clamps inside the outlet being loose and getting burned to having an undersized wire feeding the outlet. Be mindful that a breaker is rated for 80% of its labeled capacity meaning that a 15 amp breaker is good for a 12 amp load, 20 amp breaker for a 16 amp load, 25 amp breaker for a 20 amp load and 30 amp breaker for a 24 amp load so forth and so on. If its extremely hot then loads may have to be further reduced to keep circuits and devices from overheating. Power companies can be notorious about having voltage drops and brown outs especially during peak usage hours. I've had to install buck and boost transformers to correct voltage drops from the power companies all over the Northern Seaboard and Canada. Long term you will see more frequent electrical component failures as motors, controls, AC cooling units, etc, etc fail prematurely when the power companies regularly drop voltage. Devices require a certain amount of Watts in order to function so for example a device that needs 1440 Watts to function properly requires 12 amps at 120 volts since amps times volts equals Watts. Drop voltage to 110 and now you need 13 amps to provide the 1440 Watts. Drop to 100 volts and now you need 14.4 amps. When you draw more amps than the device is rated for then your device runs hotter and hotter until it eventually fails sometimes immediately and other times after a while from repetitive low voltage damage and of course if your on a 15 amp circuit you are drawing more amperage than the breaker is rated to carry in constant use. Hope this gives some basic perspective to what you have to consider when electric devices start misbehaving and failing prematurely. Best!

[@kevbev1524]

Those high jack stands look like they could use some platting or gussets. I just watched a safety video of them giving out, it's got me looking beyond the build. Have fun, Be smart, Be safe.❤

[@LawlessOffroadAdventures]

🤙 hope the parts show an we see it all coming together in the next one

[@lifelinefabllc]

You really need to check that voltage while there is a load on the line. I doubt that's the issue though. Newer welding equipment is unfortunately not as reliable as it should be. Doesn't seem to matter the brand.

[@norcoredneck]

It being summer and demand high, perhaps your not getting clean/consistent voltage. Harbor Freight Titanium is a workable welder to try.

[@HardcountsAdventures]

Always frustrating when your tools don't work, looking forward to the next video.

[@georgedeedsnotwords2162]

Try flipping and resetting breakers in box . Sometimes one will pop and you will not be getting full current on both legs in 220 .

[@guygrotke8059]

So basically, you are welding a frame on to your unibody. Good idea. I think the welding problem may be you are welding steel tubing to sheet metal. Hard to do without punching holes in the sheet metal..

Plasma cutter and welder acting up I would check the power supply coming into the shop. One device acting funny but multiple devices.... But it is not under load and load would could change the input.

[@papatomsthoughts]

Yes, having a dirty lead coming in can cause problems, ie 115 volt on one left and 95 on second leg. 😊😊😊😊

[@maxrogers762]

Love me some SAS'd Liberty! Vote✅️

[@coachgeo]

is that a NP242 Tcase? If so you can Hack-n-Tap the back side for longer drive shaft to rear. There is; I think one company that makes an SYE for it...... and it is NOT budget friendly.. Hack-n-Tap is. very budget friendly. BTW- 242 and 231 each have same 4wd ratios in low and hi so your not loosing anything; if it was a 231 you would have kept stock geared anyway. Gaining the AWD portion of the 242 can be an advantage in some sections of this event your building Liberty Biberty for as well as rest of your plan

[@greasemonkey4god]

Hey- test voltage on your 240 while there is a load on it.

So are all the guest helpers coming in and out of these videos officially part of the team? Im sure I heard on one of the other team videos that any outside help from non-team members has to come out of the budget.

[@MischiefMakerTV]

No, there is no team. It’s just me! 🤣 I’ve checked with Ian and there is no cost associated to having friends come help. None of the folks I’m brining in are actual fabricators or vehicle builders. They are mostly just helping around the shop grinding, cutting, disassembling. That said, I would happily agree to be assessed a charge for the 4-5 friends who will have helped me on this IF everyone else does the same. I have plenty of room in my budget for it.
