What does your truck weigh empty, and then with all your equipment on? I was a tanker yanker and flat bed driver, it just made me wonder . I wish I had your skill to build like you have done. Great job.
That's the best way to have the welder mounted on the truck. I have seen many that where on trailers needless to say they get stolen very easy. Just going to lunch will see it gone.
I was lucky I learned to weld in 1974 in junior high school in Oakland Ca. on a Lincoln 225. Bought my own for $200 and sill using it 40 years later. My now 18 year olds did not get that chance in school. Where did you learn welding or specifically pipe welding.
I have a sae300mp and every time I try to run a dewalt grinder it pops the breakers on the machine. The grinders are ac/dc . Could it be because of the grinders or the extension cord.. I noticed we run the same grinders that’s why I asked. TIA great tour👍
J_Moffitt damn hopefully not it’s brand new lol. I’m still trying to figure it out man with the gears and volts. If you ever get some time again and you can make a quick informative video on gears and bolts that’d be great. I’ve watched some videos on here but they’re all over the place I haven’t came across that makes a point . To me at least. Thanks!
Nice rig. I have been contemplating the 2500 vs 3500. Hard to come by a 3500 in my area for some reason and I live in farm country. If you buy a cab and chassis you lose about 75HP in the engine because they are considered commercial trucks.
@@j_moffitt That's no lie. Nothing built in the USA anymore and the price you pay for one you should get an all expense paid vacation or at least a good Corona.
Jesse! You came to my school last year because Caleb was in my class (WTI). Love the videos. Keep it all up man. Got me inspired and putting together my little welding trailer now. Much smaller scale, but a fun job.
Samuel Fisher it’s somewhat custom but it’s just a 2x4 frame with some half inch ply on top and then supported on the uneven parts with some 2x4 legs and then it’s just a platform to build whatever you want on top
When I was building my bagged ranger I had to remove my bed so I could body drop it and my buddy put a 6 in tip of a diesel right behind the cab pointing straight up with a tractor flapper on it. That was the most annoying exhaust I have ever had
Been looking to build one for my half ton four-door short bed ram It’s a third GEN it’s also a six speed four-wheel-drive 4.7 I know tiny little V-8 but I have stacked a bunch extra Springs and it hauls everythingI’d be very interested in watching the next bed build
I know I’m new to your channel but would you say a single wheel rig would be good if someone is getting into building a rig or is a dually a must for a rig?
It's not a must and I prefer a single rear wheel for several reasons. Main reason for a dually is so that you can carry more weight. I like the single wheel because its not as bulky (wide) and easier to maneuver sometimes.
Hey again just wanna say love the video and I would honestly like to ask some questions like what is best for someone who wants to be a wielder as there actual job but doesn't know where to start I'm taking a class at my school for wielding and so far i know oxy,arc,plasma cutting and a little mig (tho that one is self taught) but I really wanna know what to do
manick 911 just keep it up keep learning and do your research about anything and everything, everyone has to start somewhere don’t be afraid to take that job to get some experience
My machine (sae300he) weighs about 1500lb the bed on this truck id say is somewhere around 1000lb maybe more maybe less and then bottles, tools, cables, jack stands, etc..., probably 1000/1500 ish
