Cutting My Friend's Truck In Half While He's On Vacation 

Great work Hunter!!!

Would you sell just the extentions and brackets?

Incredible work and great video editing. Well done 👏

This is going to be a legitimate business for you. Just extending shortbeds. You have so much skill my dude

How does that thing ride on the street and highway? Does it affect anything

Diferent approach to youtube business? Some might want to profit on 12 videos. This man is saying he's down to do other trucks too, maybe he's profiting on both?

@@gerekappo And its a waste of our time, I basically ditch videos where I don' get start and finish in the same clip, it can be 90min but I need results.

It's not hard when you're a welder. If you think it's hard then you have no knowledge.

@@masterflow101 congrats bro u did it. you made yourself look like a prick on the internet!!!

@@masterflow101 what a debbie downer lol

Are you jealous

​@@masterflow101 Welder ≠ Fabricator Attention to detail is critical so stuff doesn't get botched

He just made a quick little video that made that look like a weekend, home garage build. That takes an INSANE amount of planning and measuring, Hunter did a bang up job here!!!

Hunter is borderline genius!! He is a product of engineers and it shows! @Hunter Goodrich you sir are an amazing human being and thank you for sharing your journey with us!! Such an inspiration to all who watch!!!

That’s what I’ve always said & I believe it . He is a man with a bright future.

I have a 2012 tundra. I wish I'd had the 6 and a 1/2 foot bed. But I gotta admit that 8' bed does look good on there. Also I have the same color truck as in this video.

You are one hot man I love your blue eyes

Local guy has a megacab 2500 , with the long bed lol , said he had to chop the frame and extend it as well basically lol

It probably isnt done much today because people dont want to chop a truck that cost as much as a house

Since the front spring mounts were on the drop portion of the frame it probably would have made it kinda wierd and been more of a headache to do it that way on this particular truck

@@jmanlinc now that I look at it closer, it looks like if they chopped it forward of the front spring mount it would make supporting the bed kind of wonky since the bed rests on the flat of the frame.

And this dudes mullet. I'm still distracted. 😂

Yea that and vertical welds, step cuts to extend a frame with z shaped notches are much stronger

You can cut them square-- just make sure you put a diamond patch across the seam-- and then you'll have your "angles" when you weld that up. Which distributes the stress down the beam, just like "cutting at angles" does. But at the same time, it's easier to do, because it's just a square cut.

@@calholli yeah for sure at least plate it but that’s not there either.

Toyota uses a weak C frame, boxing it in is common and recommended for heavy use like this.

@@riverpirate1022 I have done some frame work and I thought the same. I would have used rectangular for the new and boxed the rest. He has a LOT more leverage on that frame now. Well... if it bends we get to see how to fix it... Personally I don't like to do things twice.

my guess is he probably did more structure in there that we didnt get to see. this guys built alot of custom stuff and is very good at what he does.

He's doing this as a test for all of us :) no fish plates, z cuts, just a straight weld & watch it work just fine for years.

Bar of soap. Trailer delete kit. A guy did a 10ft job but it requires 2 beds. 10' bed project

my guess is hes done this a few dozen times and is aware and theres probably parts he left out over were he did more frame structure then what he showed.

I thought the same. Kinda feel nervous about this chassis extension work.

Australian laws also need an engineer to look at it and say its actually safe.

Yeah he rushed the job to impress his buddy. Should've taken a little more time to make sure the wheels lined up perfectly in the wheel wells

@@schowers Perhaps. I still believe that it is quite an achievement, but this is something that needs to be done over to get it right. Let's hope that'll happen somewhere in the future

@@Altanabstick no it's definitely impressive but I know if it were my truck it'd annoy me as well

It is centered. Just appears that it isn’t because of the lil mud flap

Company in Utah that does these for $7k (might be more post-covid).

This. Frame welds should never be 90 degrees across the frame. You should cut and weld on long diagonals then reinforce those welds with plates with longitudinal and diagonal welds. A straight cut and a butt weld is asking for trouble.

To support the bed? Didn't look like he did and I had the same thought that something big would just go straight through it but im sure he knows what hes doing.

doubt it needs it, you wouldn't put anything too heavy into the bed of those to begin with.

Still wouldn't have hurt to box in that frame extension, other than that🤷

@@rowdybroomstick6394 that’s what I was thinking

@@vallevaan The whole point is bigger box=more stuff=more heavy...

I agree, awesome workmanship but the front leaf spring mounts are on the taller/stronger part of the frame for a reason

Lack of frame boxing, way oversized leaf spring mounts hanging to low and flat (Toyota leafs are known to be crap that goes flat fast), much heavier drive shaft with same carrier bearing, increased brake fluid capacity and longer lines with same brake booster, reduced the already to low load carrying capacity thanks to adding more weight to the truck and extending the frame making it weaker more prone to failure under heavy loads, then all the extended wiring, which is prone to shorts, corrosion, and failures now, total lack of undercarriage anti rust treatment. (That we could see) SO many issues with this mod. While I love and dream of this mod on my 1794 Tundra, there are SO many other better things you could and should have done to this truck. Larger gas tank first and foremost. - I need this badly. Upgraded rear and front suspension. - Done minus leafs - full Bilstein 6112/5160 3/2 setup with dif drop, carrier bearing drop, and drop shackles. Supercharger upgrade. - I need this. Rear under seat storage mod. - I need this. Power tailgate lock mod. - Done - factory bolt on. Headlight/exterior lights upgrade. - I need this. Interior lights upgrade. - Done Proper offset wheels and larger tires. - I need this. Other minor mods I can't recall right now.

Z cuts on rails + gussets over the seams. 2 beefy cross members.

En todo caso esa sería decisión decisión de la hermana 😅
