Love the builder tips and new format! Its everything I've always wanted from the commercial car shows that they've never done!

@KevinHalliburton 2 года назад

This is exactly the kind of stuff I love to see from seasoned fabricator channels. The welding and fab tips were excellent, but you cutting and re-welding that tube 5 times, and looking for your gloves, might have been some of the most inspiring content in this video. I can't explain it, but that just gave me a lot of confidence to keep pushing through my own setbacks and frustrations with the learning process. Thank you for keeping it real!

@jeffallen3382 2 года назад

Great episode Ian. Like I said the other day, these linger videos are much more enjoyable to watch! Thank you.

Love the "Bit Bot Bing Boom" comment. Couldn't quite get the rest. Must be a Canadian thing! lol. Keep up the great work. Been a long time follower!!!

If you liked S*Town, check out “This sounds serious.” Similar format, “serious” host tries to unravel ridiculous cases with hilarious characters. Now I can’t wait for the rest of your playlist.

@BigTireGarage 2 года назад

Nuce I will look that one up

@davidruppel1216 2 года назад

I noticed you did down passes on the Colorado front frame. When I was a structural steel welder, I was taught to always make up passes because they were stronger. Was that not correct? Does it matter?

@BigTireGarage 2 года назад

Technically most structural welding calls for vertical up to prvent slag inclusion. Most of the time those welds are fluxcore or stick...but yes vertical up is the prefered methid

@davidruppel1216 2 года назад

@@BigTireGarage Thank you! Great channel really learn a lot watching your shows!

How much do you like the Rogue Fab Bender and would you buy it again or spend more money or name brand benders?

@robjones4210 2 года назад

Great Episode!! best welding tip I ever got was from my friend Bill. I was basically stalled out on my welding growth, I was an acceptable welder, but Bill educated me on how to manipulate the puddle and basically it comes down to "the puddle will follow the heat". that little insight allowed me to get to the next level of welding (mig) and greatly improved my welds.

@SMGoertzen 2 года назад

As a welder and mechanic, I can't thank you enough for finally explaining the welding process.

@coryridder1937 2 года назад

Idk how he did that but that explanation was so much easier than when I try to explain it to someone. Lol.

Ian can sure lay down some fine welds.👌 I have to grind about 90% of mine! 😁

@danepettingill4813 2 года назад

I'm loving your connect. Love the time you take to give relevant information. Can't get enough. You're a legend. Thanks heaps man. I appreciate your efforts. Watching all the way from Tassie. Cheers 🍻

@Livin2relaxat55 2 года назад

Love the BTG updates like this! When you do your own videos, what cameras and editing software do you use?

@scottd8425 2 года назад

I'd love to hear some stories from your Extreme 4x4 days. Favorite build, least favorite build, best collabs etc. You and Jessi, may she rest in peace, had an awesome on screen chemistry. I won't say I don't like Power Nation, but it's no Powerblock!

@chuckieswickedgoodfab 2 года назад

Great video, great content!!!! Reading glasses tip was huge, 43 here and it's definitely getting harder to see the puddle. Question: when you embark on a build, how do you keep track of bolts/parts that you are going to perhaps re-use? How they go back together, etc.....? I am using the plastic bag approach with it all labeled. Tried to lay it out as much as possible how I took it off but a bit harder as the more parts accumulate the harder it is to take up huge spaces for a running order of putting it back together. But was wondering if there are any tips or tricks you have up your sleeve? Thanks again Chuck

@jormond68 2 года назад

Great episode. As I was watching the last couple of episodes of 4wheeler I was thinking about how much I missed the level detail you used to get into back in the day. What bores the casual TV viewer is what I am watching and hoping to see. So much better than watching the "install" of a brake kit on an axle that hasn't even been fully prepped for welding yet. I get that the bills need to get paid but some times it is painful to watch. I've been watching you since the very 1st episode of your very 1st show and can tell that this video shows the level of detail that is fun to talk about.

@MyLilMule 2 года назад

These are great. I like seeing the behind the scenes stuff and some of the explanations why and how the shows are filmed.

@dubCanuck1 2 года назад

Loved the glasses tip. Nothing worse than losing the weld line because you have old eyes.

@PSFGarage 2 года назад

Awesome work Ian! Really cool to watch you do your thing. Thanks for sharing!

@trevorgould4155 2 года назад

Another great Episode. Question what made you decide to build off road vehicles rather than going down the hot rod/custom cars. As a very novice welder it’s alright being told how to do stuff but for me it’s better to be showed how to do it just like you did in extreme 4x4. Glad your back on RU-vid

@MrRobertSpearsJr 2 года назад

Great content this week. TY

@olecoot 2 года назад

Love this format, hopefully you stay with it, the teaching tips and seeing real world is a huge plus. The welding tips in this video is just what I needed. Thanks :)

@Weldshilo 2 года назад

Why do drag race cars use motor plates on the front and rear to hold the engine in place but off-road uses standard side mounts

@jake1021 2 года назад

I'm going to guess. Probably incorrectly. That off-roaders generally have 9 pounds of shit crammed in a 5 pound bag routing everything is already a pain without adding two baby firewalls in the mix Only a guess.

@shelbythomas9471 2 года назад

I really like the behind the scenes stuff, getting to see stuff before they’re on tv is always cool. Do you ever mind people stopping by the shop?

@curtbrown4681 2 года назад

Hey Ian been watching you build since you was on Saturday morning on the USA channel on powerblock. Late 90s early 2000s. You gave been a inspiration to me growing up an I've learned so much from watching you all these years. I started building myself a 95 YJ 5 years ago that everyone hates an then started building my wife an son a 1994 YJ an I am now disabled struggling to maybe get my wife an son's there jeep built. It's not extreme but I'm struggling pretty bad now. Parts laying everywhere. I've come to a part I'm kind of stuck building the front axle. 99-04 ford dana 60. Keeping leaf springs moving front axle up 6-7" on xj spring but steering has me stuck. Don't want full hydraulic steering so keeping gear box an keeping drag link an tierods up high. Can you help or do a video showing how this is done? Keep up the awesome work Ian. I great appreciate all you information an talking to us like we are human.

@user-tn8zl9fc6k 2 года назад

Always enjoy your work since PB. You are the best fabricator that I've seen and watched and I always like watching and learning from your talents. I'm new to BTG but subscribed and "rang the bell". I always watch FW but the content on BTG will cycle faster than FW does. Keep fabricating and making videos.

@CanStripey 2 года назад

I am an Hd mechanic by trade with some welding tickets in my lunch pail. I can’t believe how many tidbits I pick up from your shows. I constantly go back and watch reruns online. QUESTION. Do you ever go wheeling around your home town? Coming from someone who also ate tasty treats from the factory as a kid!

@PTXPowerSports 2 года назад

Man this has made me feel so much better about my life and operation haha. The information you shared is the best I have ever seen online for a small shop. We are at the 2-4 employee max setup and down to 1 person just me again. From the last 5 years. Killin it buddy, this is some of the best advice and giving people real world experience snd expectations.

@jaredgreen502 2 года назад

I enjoyed your explanation on welding also. I'd like to understand how you knew or decided the framework you've built for the Colorado build. Is it just good vision & imagination or finding pre-configured drawings? Great seeing you more on RU-vid. I don't have Motortrend, so cheers

@JudahsTreeFarm 2 года назад

Im thinking about stretching the wheelbase on my TJ. I live in the Arkansas Ozarks. The terrain seems to be really similar to the Tennessee wheeling you do! The question I have is how long is too long?! Axles are 8.8/Waggy d44 and the biggest tire I plan on running is 37/38

@olspanner 2 года назад

I have been an admirer of your work for a long time now. As a fabricator / welder I believe no-one holds a candle to you.Superb workmanship! Cheers from Australia from a [very ] old mechanic.

@dnesquick 2 года назад

Ran a 8'x20' plasma table for fab company for a while and absolutely don't missing cleaning that table. You actually met my dad at Southern Off-road in Birmingham years ago

@michaelexline5382 2 года назад

With all those different projects and filming schedules your head must constantly be spinning, and hopefully you have a great assistant that helps remind you what you need to be doing. Really like this kind of stuff. Any recommendation for equipment for personal fabrication work?

@repalmore 2 года назад

19:30 I hope you don't mind my making a suggestion. I'm sure you have one of those small magnets on a stick or a telescoping one. You could if you want use that as a handle so when filming, you have a little better grip on the small part. Thank you for all the great information. I miss her very much.

@11YeeP11 2 года назад

Ian - Great to see you back. As far as the air bump placement in a vertical aspect, that seems to be easily defined by where you want the axle to stop traveling upwards. What I have struggled with in the past in the landing pad. Depending on how you have your suspension setup, the axle will approach the chassis at a completely different angle when flexing, vs hitting bumps with both tires. Can you discuss how you build your landing pads with the above scenarios in mind?

@scottd8097 2 года назад

Great video. I love all the detail in how and why you are designing/building the tubes, mounts, frame rails,etc. Keep it up. I can't wait for the next one.

Random question , are you originally from Canada what part I notice you enjoy ketchup chips have you ever tried Doritos ketchup.love the series keep ‘‘em coming

@xvmetalworx9105 2 года назад

I like the included details of CNC design and cutting! Is it worth the design time and cut time on the table over just cutting by hand for the tabs and smaller items? I get it for the trailing arms and bigger things, just curious

@randytravis3998 2 года назад

Great Video Ian .. hey it looks like you need a new plasma table send me the old one I will use it LOL .. yes I would use it but you would be lost without it ,, have to save a few dollars to get one .I. have a JEEP wrangler I am rebuilding it I call it the flintstone mobile .. I am in NY the road crews put a lot of salt down ,,,the Jeep needs the whole floor or a new body .. also front fenders ,tailgate also want half doors for it .. needs frame work also .. if I had extra $$ would upgrade the drive train ,, keep up the great videos ,,

How large is your shop? when you watch the MT show it does not seem that big however in this YT you have a lot of projects going on and all the equipment. Great episode!

@JakeSnk321 2 года назад

On the rectangular tubing frame for the Colorado, is there a reason you chose to do butt joints rather than miter joints? I would imagine miter joints would be stronger, and no hollow sections would need to be capped.

@ditchdigger7824 2 года назад

Diablo blades really are worth the extra coin. Cool build, still on my bucket list to be a part of UA.

How do you typically clean the plates on your table, noticed no sparks so does it just pop off with a chipping hammer or something else?
