Nice to see ya back I remember when you and Jesse were doing builds way back when.I still miss her.Good to see your builds.

Man, I just discovered this guy had a KZbin channel and it unlocked so many memories of me watching their show on spike TV with my dad as a teenager and your comment reminded me what happened to Jesse. RIP to such a legend

[@davidyoung30]

I don’t care what your hairstyle you are rocking you couldn’t hide from me. Been watching you since I was a kid.

[@scorpionsting47]

Holy smokes. The Chris Farley analogy is spot on. Made me laugh. I've watched you for years. Love the content. I liked your crazy builds. I wish the 6x6 suburban could have been finished. Different times I guess.

[@rickwatson1000]

is this a channel about wheeling , tires , lifts trucks , fabrication , jeeps , trail running and WHAT EVER.... Glad your back !!!

[@nickb26950]

What happened to the rear engine single seat build “budget buggy” from Xtreme 4x4? Will you ever do another build like this (4 cylinder longitudinal rear engine crawler)?

[@antagonist84cj7]

Is this the one he cut in half, and put the fiberglass bug front clip on? I was wondering about that one too...

[@wyattoneable]

I appreciate your time on KZbin!

[@ahba14]

Local Tennesseean here, do you ever set up at local events like mule day or anything for people to check out some of the builds in person? Love watching the content!

[@BigTireGarage]

We are actually planning a rigs and coffee event in Mount Pleasant...just need to get all the details together

[@ahba14]

@@BigTireGarage can’t wait for the details, interested for sure! Was awesome just driving by the shop a few weeks back and seeing a few rigs out front.

The Dakota would make such a sweet overland/camping rig. All the compartments hold the gear, roof top tent on top of the service bed

[@stephenwright6234]

For your jeepsteer. OMG you should go with a OM605 or a OM606. That would kickass IMO. Oh yeah so glad you are back on YT.

[@bullrun4x4]

I did an 05+ SD60 and converted it to 40 spline for the inner and outers with an Eaton e locker, Artec truss, and full hydro in my JKUR and have been very happy with it. It’s been bullet proof. Using ECGS drive slugs on it. Zero issues in 2 years of beating on it with 43” stickies.

[@BigTireGarage]

I am not knocking the 05 and up Dana 60, I think it is a great axle....I just prefer the 99-04 personally. When I can get a 05 and up for the same price as the 99-04 I will probably make the swap....not looking forward to dealing with that cast housing....HATE THAT!!!

[@danielharrah9984]

Glad you're back on KZbin. I really enjoy the technical information you bring to the party

[@justinmumford3885]

Keep doin what your doin I want to c u build a full on 66 inch tire mud truck

[@mikes.9755]

Thanks for the info on the axles. I’m building a set of ‘05 and up SuperDuty axles for my 1st Gen 4 Runner build. I paid $1k for the set with a functioning ARB already in the Sterling. I also figure in the cost of a Milwaukee Porta Band to deal with the casting. 😂😂😂😂

[@lucaspowell8580]

[@ricklarge7976]

Been watching you on MT for years just found you on here, because Matt Wetzel MORR and Heather mischief maker kept talking about going to Big Tire garage. And who to my surprise the Ian they were talking about was you. You are an amazing g artist. I know it's a lot of work, but I envy you. Keep up the great co tent.

[@johnosborne5056]

If your looking for off the shelf 8x6.5 unit bearing assemblies for the 99-04 front ends I believe you can order them from quigley the 4x4 van guys

Yeah, but east coast gear supply has em machined for 35 Spline outers

Oh I still work on TV...this is just a new platform to drop some new content onto

Love the Q&A! I wanted to get your opinion on why Motor Trend canceled Dirt Every Day? Your Four Wheeler and DED show has been the only reason I have kept my subscription up to date. I hate that Fred and Dave lost the show. What do you think about it?

[@shoominati23]

They did that to Steve Magnante of Junkyard Crawl too , no plans for a next season, but please wait around .. no thanks I'll go off and do my own thing on KZbin, and kill it too! I bet Mike Finnegan will give them the boot soon enough too

Having built a truck with 99-04 axles and broken every single thing inside it with a v6 there will be an 05+ axle next. Im sick of machining wheel bearings out for 35 spline, i need more then a 1480 u joint, i already have had to go to 10" gears in it, i bent the housing, broke the ball joints (and had to go to deletes) And i use drive slugs anyways ... lol

This talk was super helpful... but you might want to think of doing a more formal segment on it some time. I am still confused on which Fords these can be found under... Is it only the F-350 and F-550 or just any Ford Dana 60 from those years?

I have a question. I've seen you build a ford 9" for a front axle. How do you make a rear diff setup work as a front axle setup.

[@hinmatonhisler8195]

You can run the same dropout as the rear, it just ends up being a low pinion front. Or you can get one of the high pinion dropouts. Either way the gears function the same, you are only changing which side of the teeth your are engaging- drive or coast.
