This channel is about making something out of nothing, overcoming obstacles when building stuff (like a Jeep) or learning how to do it. I show you my mistakes and how I overcome them.
Its possible to get rad results even with a limited budget, cheap tools, and self taught skills that arent always pro-grade. But the only way is for you to get out there and make it happen
Ill take you with on offroad trips, Share cheap fixes, repairs, and DIY mods. Axle swaps, SOA suspension, custom parts, All with my 1991 Jeep Wrangler YJ Islander.

It’s OK but there’s a lot of wasted space compared to the icon box. I have the icon 73 inch at work and even though this is roughly the same size, it has way less drawers and space overall. Then again I got it for half the price
I JUST did it on my 2.5. I've found if you get it aligned, use the clamp to help tighten it down, get it in there pretty square and then start tightening it down and it'll go in itself
Yeah I’m not sure what I would do a floor out of but it would be nice to not splash mud up onto my stuff. Then again the only thing I’ve carried back there so far is in waterproof totes. As for a cover it would have to be easily removable/accessible or I don’t want it. Not gonna crawl inside that thing lol
Not a huge fan of this kind of content but leaving a comment and watching full video to help you out. You're a good dude and I enjoy the majority of your stuff. Keep up the good work. On and off youtube.
Your garage (dis) organization situation sounds reeeeeeally familiar. I’m moving to a new rental after being in my current place for 8 years and packing the garage has SUCKED.
If it were me i’d start with waterproofing electronics on the trailer and incorporate the solar farm/ battery bank including ac/dc converter Getting super pumped for the yj axle swap vids too. I’ll buy your old axles if you’re still thinking about it
Yes I still plan on selling them. The rear axle is kind of untested it’s exactly the same as the one in my jeep. It has a Detroit locker and 513 gears but I haven’t even opened it up to inspect it yet. So before I actually list it or do anything I’d like to open it up
@@FlawedOffroad yessir I know how that goes, “if it ain’t one thing it’s another” for sure. I’d love to see a build series on the trailer too. Keep it up man 👍
I'm a trucker and know that truck stop very well. I don't get out that way too much anymore. I like the idea of a trailer, and if I had a Jeep I'd probably have one. If it were mine, I'd put a 270 degree awning so when everyone's relaxing at camp, everyone doesn't have to huddle up in a small area of shade or when it rains you have plenty of covered area for everyone.
yeah as of right now I have the area where the tent folds open which is a little but not huge. My kids work at that truckstop haha. Little known fact, I have a CDL as well but I havent used it in almost 10 years
There's are youtuber that shows how to make the "SWAG OFF ROAD" bander - he does a real good job and is less $ than the kit. Look for him somewhere out there! Great video! I pan on getting one of these for the same reason and making the same mods. Good Stauu! And you got a new Sub just cuz you said down Ubu - how the Hell do you know that one? Re-runs I presume.
Not really. It already wants you to regulate it down to like maybe 90 or 110 psi but most of the time I give it the full 150 that my compressor makes lol
I mean theres a million size shocks that bilstein makes, the ones im using are not vehicle specific. Search up the bilstein catalog and it will tell you exactly which ones for a stock f350 that you need(or you can browse the "universal" shocks but you really need to know the collapsed/extended lengths if youre going to use those) I think 5125's are the non specific fit and 5150 are vehicle specific IIRC
I've been planning on doing this with mine. My plan is simply bearings in axles drilled into the crossbeam. The front to back slop hasn't been quite figured out, although I do plan on building my own crossbeam, with a pusher rod built with a threaded hole to accept different size push rods, so that may simply have plates with axles for bearing welded too it. My favorite mod to secure the table support rods in place that I've seen is to weld washers into the bars on one side, so that the washer is captured between the table and frame. No drilling, and under pressure there is no way the pin can come out. My only concern is the affect on the pins strength from the welding.
There’s so much cool stuff that can be done with these presses. Honestly both of my press mod videos have done rather well I’ve considered doing a third one just for fun.
Just got a Yeswelder and I hate manuals. I'm an open it up and figure it out kinda girl lol. My coworker and I spent 2 hrs trying to figure this thing out for my spool gun. Dry feeding the wire seemed like it ran incredibly slowwwwww. Blindly fiddling with settings till he helped me dial it in so I can work on some 1/4" aluminum. But your video helps big time!
I don’t recall sorry, I donated this machine. To a friend who could make better use of the cold spot as I have a few other welders. I want to say at least 10 secs. Think 5 was the default
I think you nailed it Dan, when you mentioned many outdoor users simply do not have the necessary outdoor ethics! IMHO this is greatly lacking in general. Just this last trip to Moab we started seeing 'white flowers' on many trials. For those newbies out there, this means TP left on the ground where someone did their business! For crying out loud people, pack it in, pack it out...or DIG A FREAKING HOLE!!!
He really enjoyed your video, and I’m a guy attends to be prepared but impromptu good a lot of times. Yeah and Northern Wisconsin Michigan late August. You will see the colors changing. I was going up the northern Wisconsin many years fishing and they contend to be that way, so enjoyed the content thank you
Having done this twice now on a 35 and a 30 I can honestly say I will be building an axle rack and yanking the axle out. Being on your back for all this is not fun! Looks like a great job. I used an old bearing with the cage and rollers removed to use in the press when pressing the bearings on instead of putting all that pressure on the new bearings/races. That also makes sure the bearing gets seated all the way instead of stopping at the carrier end.
I see that this could be an issue. Not supposed to but, you could get a bunch of kids or other rookies get the maps and start trouble. Garbage or just getting in over there head. Then they need a rescue. Usually people are good though.
I agree that these mapping services help promote all the trails and not just the main ones. Same goes for hiking trails with apps like AllTrails. I'm just tired of every "influencer" pushing onX. Tells me that the subscription price really just goes into their advertising budget rather than improving the app since it looks like some other services offer more.
I mean any company spends money on advertising to gain brand awareness. Not everyone that talks about onx gets paid, I sure dont. But I dont do ads for them either at least at this time. Id rather see an onX ad than fishing clash or AG1 haha
Without getting everything shut down, we have to take the good with the bad. We have to try and educate people to stay on the trail, pack it out, be careful with fire ect. I live in the west and many trails are sponsored by local Jeep clubs. SxS use has exploded. We can drive SxS's on local roads in most western states now too. Most of Nevada is public land, like 80% so there are many thousands of miles of trails. GPS maps are a necessity when trails are 500 to 1000 miles long.
I didnt want to point fingers at a specific group, but that one is a large part of it sadly. And a very high % of the "new to the outdoors/trails" people are in that group. Which sucks because Id like to own one someday but I dont even want to be associated with the reputation they've earned.(then again I dont want to be associated with rubber ducks either....) But clearly not all sxs riders are a problem. I like to be a part of everything offroad related, we ride quads, we wheel, we overland, we camp, and someday we will probably sxs as well.
You're right. It's a double edged sword. And people will people. Personally I think our administration should invest more in trail ambassadors. Those of us just do it to do it. Get caught trashing and you SxS will get melted down like a gun violation.
Thats a bit extreme! It really is sad how lazy and careless some people are though. Ive come across some campsites that looked like a dumpster got dumped there
Many people’s level of exposure to the outdoors is limited and once they get into the wild there are no norms or habits they are used to. Often times, bad habits. People may have all the 4x4 knowledge in the world but none of the actual environment they are riding through. Maps are great but the larger problem is people not having basic knowledge or respect, which makes us want to be more protective of them.
