Great build!! Thank you for zooming in on those welds. they are perfect, Look a lot like mine lol Josh really put heart into the build as well as Cory!!
@@ironhead2447 all the welds I zoomed in on were all Corey. Josh did welds in other areas. Not trying to take anything from Josh, just giving Corey his credit. Josh’s welds are great also, I just didn’t zoom in on any of his. Thanks for the comment.
I would love to see this build, I actually found you from Simon says Garage. Me personally I would restore the rear-end a little bit though, but make it safe, make it bad ass and make it your own!!
@@ironhead2447 Thank you. As for the rear end, I am going to play that by ear as I go thru the build. I may end up fixing it up to where it is better. But no matter what, I will make it safe. I appreciate the comment and your opinion. I don’t know if you have seen a few of my latest videos, but both the mega truck and buggy are dangerously close to completion so this build will be starting pretty soon. Hang in there and I will post some videos. Thanks again!
I appreciate the comment and glad you like the truck. But …. I am a Florida boy and this truck was built for the mud. I think those rock crawling folks are crazy!!! In a good way, but crazy none the less. I have no interest in trying to crawl up rocks. I don’t think this truck would do very well because it is quite heavy (11,540 lbs. with no driver and very little fuel), and a lot of the weight is pretty high up. Thanks for the comment.
@@coldhardart so funny you say that. When I aquired all the 2 1/2 ton parts to build a mega truck, I was actually hoping to get THAT Yukon!!! But then changed the course to building a mega tow truck.
Thanks. But I really think I’m gonna leave it. The whole work around latch that was built at some point appears to be built “post bend” (whatever happened to it). I just like it. Yes, it will leak when it rains but once I get it built, it will stay under cover. And when I drive it, it will be good weather or just to car shows. If the doors being that way causes me some problems (like exhaust coming in the back doors), then I will definitely address it. Thanks for the input.
I have sold that truck and got a new one now. But that weld job held up fine. The carrier or axle will break long before that weld. Especially grinding the teeth off of the gears gave PLENTY of surface area for plenty of weld. I’m sure it would hold even if you didn’t do that (IF the welds were good), but doing that just helped in my opinion.
I started watching your channel because you have videos of the MR1, can you continue making more? I plan on buying one later this year and enjoy learning all that I can.
I appreciate you watching. I have been busy building a buggy and all the parts I have needed have only been 2D. So my CNC plasma cutter has been the go to. I have not had to make anything on the mill yet. I fire it up every once in a while and run the spindle, the coolant, and operate everything just to keep it all moving. When I make a part, I will try and record it and post a video. Sorry for having a boring channel, but I make no money from youtube so it’s not a priority for me. Thanks again.
I don’t find it boring at all. I’m building a room in the basement and running electric . I have questions 😂 . Do I need 3 or 4 120 outlets and which 240 plug do I buy?
As for the power requirements, langmuir does have good information on that on their website. If I were you (and I did this), I would go watch all of the assembly videos of the MR1 before you even order it. Just to get an idea of what you have to do. Don’t worry about not understanding all the info without having the machine right there, you will get it when you start assembly. I would also recommend trying this thing when doing the concrete: IMAYCC Concrete Vibrator 1500W Handheld Concrete Vibrating Tool with 6.6ft Shaft Rod Electric Concrete Vibrabrater 14400VPM Portable Power Concrete Vibrators for Various Concrete Construction a.co/d/7rLfy7k I did not know about these things until after I assembled mine. I can not say that it will work because Ive never used one, but watching videos on them, I would have DEFINITELY tried this if I had known about it. Hindsight, right?
You're supposed o line up the red dot with the valve stem. If you have a red and a yellow, you use the red. If you have jus the yellow, then you use the yellow dot. Thanks for the no mare tip I swear by it too, I think I'm gonna get the Mojo Lever too pretty soon. Thanks for posting. Voice over was fine. You shouldn't have said anything and just talked like you were there we wouldn't have known. lol have a nice day.
Yeah it was just sunk, the engine was completely under water but didn’t “swamp” because it is snorkeled very well from the factory. This is a nice machine.
I get it if you don’t change many tires. I am on my second tire changing stand. I do a LOTTTT of tires. So for me, that $144 was well worth it! It makes a huge difference in ease of the change but also, doesn’t scratch the rims. Another important thing for me.
I do multiple sets of tires every year. I bought the mojolever and HF tire changer. Great combination. I’ve saved tons of money in the past five years. Plus, you get really good at it. It can suck the first time.
@@pinkiepie1656 I hear ya! I can't imagine how much money I've saved doing all this tire stuff myself over the years. I can tell you the equipment has paid for itself several times over! And like I say, I am on my second tire changer.
I also got one of the handheld Bead Busters. You can use a socket wrench or impact gun with it. The bead breaker is what broke first on the first tire changer. I average over 200 miles a day so I burn through lots of rubber every year. We not only save on installation, but I take time to source my tires and save a bunch there as well.
Thanks. I hope the video helped. But as I have said in some of my other responses.... this wheel / tire combination was really easy. Probably one of the easier sets I ever did (still even up today, and this video was like 9 years ago). All tires and wheels are definitely not this easy. I just lucked out that this set was as easy as it was so it made for a good video.
Dave Miller I got it on amazon. I’m going to try and paste a link. www.amazon.com/dp/B003N7MH8U/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apip_uVRETjci9e7v2 If that don’t work, let me know.
I got to about 3:55 and the tire would not flex anymore to flip over the wheel... We had 2 guys pushing on that mojolever and that tire sidewall would not flex anymore ... we had to pay a shop $20 to mount the tires onto the wheel ... the tires were 245/40/17 and 275/40/17 ...
Yeah, I have also failed at tire installs. There are just some tire / rim combinations that are impossible for manual tire changing. That being said, I can’t imagine how much money I have saved myself (and friends) over the years with the successes I have had.
I have done MANY tires that were 60 series and higher with ease ... Those sidewalls flex like butter ... But for some reason 50 series and below will NOT budge ...
Also the rim can have a lot to do with the tire mount. Some rims have a drop center that is almost centered on the rim and if it’s a wide rim, that can also make it suck. Some rims, the drop center is closer to one side. And I have found, in my personal experience, that those rims are easier. Also, simply laying the tire out in the hot sun to soften it up can help tremendously. Low profile tires, I have never had a success!
My aftermarket wheels do NOT have a drop center... Just the lip and 1 step down ... 95% of the wheel is FLAT I can get the tire iron between the tire and wheel but getting that sidewall to bend and flip over is impossible ... Maybe i can try and let it sit in the heat for some hrs to see if that tire softens up ...
