Its crazy how many people want to be negative and hate on what other people are doing as if it affects them in some way 😂. Great job on the build. Excited to see the next one. Stay safe & have a good one.

Instead of using a tree saver could you use the loop you already have on the line and then make the end of the winch line long enough with a loop on the end to go through the rim and then connect the loop on the end of the line to the loop right above the tire with a soft shackle?

The inside wheel edges were pretty sharp and we didn’t want to damage the winch line. Tree strap is an old one we had lying around so we didn’t care if it was damaged. But this isn’t the final solution we just wanted to test it out

Do you think it's true that spraying all of the "to be welded" joints with Easy-off Oven cleaner makes the weld clean and welds better? It COULD save hours of tedious shop time. I haven't tried it yet.

I’ve never heard of that but it sounds dangerous. There are a lot of nasty chemicals out there that are extremely toxic when inhaled. I’d stick to working a little longer and having my health. Acetone works really well for prepping welds

It’s a cool idea, but I think you should build a swing arm that rotates around like 720° attached to the roof rollbar that would swing around to the sides and then lower it for you. That way you don’t have to manhandle that thing on the trail. Should you ever have to fix aflat tire?

Air down a front and then a rear tire and check for new obstacles. Better to plan for when a tire fails then wishing you had something different when the time comes.

You've used the term "roll cage" referring to the rear structure - is it intended to be an actual cage or more of a bed cover? I run a similar style "cage" in my topless D1 and I can tell you from experience (as well as simple logic) a bunch of rectangles isn't much for strength. Triangles man, think triangles.
@threecreeksbackcountry
@threecreeksbackcountry 7 ай бұрын
This cage will be strong enough to protect in a low range rollover, but it’s not going to pass any race cage standards. We did use DOM tubing to buff it up too, but it’s not designed to be bulletproof like the cages you see on buggies by any means
@donhappel9566
@donhappel9566 7 ай бұрын
@@threecreeksbackcountry Fair enough. The "cage" on my D1 was done the same way when I got it. It held up fine for some very gentle flops but last year took a pretty hard flop and pushed the B-pillar area in quite a bit. Sure I still drove it out and nobody was hurt but it certainly wouldn't have moved with proper triangulation. Like you, this is just a trail rig and isn't supposed to be competition spec by any stretch, however I did go in add cross bracing at least for the front seats since that's the only seating area I still have. Sounds like you understand the limitations.

You probably wheel your Disco way harder than this Mog will be wheeled 🤠, at least that’s the plan. It’s being built for snow tours here in the Cascades where it’s pretty tame to be honest. Deep snow but pretty wide forest roads. Nothing like the Sierra trails you guys run 🥲. But I will probably take your advice and add some diagonal cross beams to the front and rear. We just have to finish the spare tire mount first. Still need to bring our Landy on the Rubi one day 😎

Well I’ll say this 3/16”- 1/8” cut off wheels work at there optimum max speed and light pressure. Cuts fast enough to have a track to follow in four passes. That’s all I’ll say about that. Trying to save you time and money✌️
@jasonh4167
@jasonh4167 7 ай бұрын
Same can be done by 4 scoring passes. The disk doesn’t get gummed up haveing to clear dust, that why you have to stop a few tomes when hogging out the metal. Where as scoring there’s no buildup of cuttings in the slot. I’ve cut 5/8” plate this way at work for 10 years, till we got a plasma cutter and a straight edge.

8:40 - you're running 30 psi on your regulator? That's really high for MIG. Most people will run single digit pressures of 5-8 psi unless outside in windy conditions. I realize 30 is the static pressure and it will drop when you pull the trigger but double check and I think you'll find you're wasting a lot of gas. Not trying to be a troll; but hopefully save you a buck or two in gas.
@threecreeksbackcountry
@threecreeksbackcountry 7 ай бұрын
We are in windy conditions to be honest 😂. We weld with the shop door typically open and get a consistent afternoon breeze. 5-8 psi and we get real annoyed real quick. 30 psi is at the upper end and we find that it works for us. We’ve met folks who just keep it wide open and that is wasting gas for sure. We’ve messed with all settings and 30 psi seems to work best with our conditions
