Thanks alot for the long show, cleaning junk out of tool boxes and having a drink watching the show. Been watching you sense the way back days in 90s on TNN

@ronbelldvm Год назад

I have watched you for many years, Ian, and to find that you battle the shop clutter like I do, is such a pleasant surprise. Thanks for showing us that side of you. I really like your rolling parts storage for upcoming projects. I need that, too, and wish you'd show us a bit more of those shelves. Also, awesome video on the trailer brakes and fenders. My fenders need replacement, too, and you've shown me what I need to do to make that happen. Thanks!!

Would love a good 400 rebuild video! Calm and informative

A very worthy 45 minutes of entertainment. Love the shop, I'm jealous!

Great content, even the mindless shop cleaning ( decompressing). I what iI really appreciate is the fact that you are still teaching, I like learning. you enjoy giveing your short cuts and thing to look for and to look at thanks for sharing

@ryurc3033 Год назад

I just love how you say you can't go crazy cleaning, and then your pulling things away from the wall, and re-arrange half the shop. Your the man. You gotta do what you gotta do to get done with a project (I'm the same way with the flat surfaces)

@BeardedPharmacist Год назад

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to film so we can follow along.

@darrelsmith4549 Год назад

@oneshotpete6.591 Год назад

Ian , your shop is next level 👍🏼👍🏼 stoked to see you posting more regularly. I always remember , seeing you on T.V , building something cool… Ian Johnson and off-road T.V have always been synonymous in my book …

You make it look so easy and a no stress job. Good video. Thank you.

I started with rebuilding a 4l60e behind a warmed over LS in a pickup... best overdrive transmission Ive ever owned.. Then i built a powerglide to put behind a 1100hp LS in my trans am... also been one of the best transmissions Ive ever owned (only managed to snap the input shaft so far)

@t.j.peterson4380 Год назад

Adam Scherer would be proud of you for cleaning the shop up and putting your tools back where they belong! Lol

@terrystroop6012 Год назад

You could make a removable tire mount that goes in the stake pockets. Make it longer than the pocket so you have room to put holes for a pin below it. Then if it’s in the way for a particular haul. Move it to another pocket.

@lhurst9550 Год назад

I use compressed air to blow out from under stuff, blow towards the middle of the shop, then sweep up the big middle. It works and minimizes dust in the air but saves moving stuff around.

@cjg1482 Год назад

And the leaf blower.

@branchandfoundry560 Год назад

I shop vac either end of day or first thing in the morning everyday. Maybe a little excessive, but I feel so much better & motivated working in a clean shop than I used to in a dirty shop! Really surprising how keeping my shop clean makes me want to do better quality work.

@Joe___R Год назад

The best thing to do when working on a big job is to keep an empty toolbox for the tools you are using on that job. At the end of the job or the end of the day. You clean & put away all the tools you had out. This keeps you better organized and prevents you from losing tools. The way you left your shop, there is no way you were able to quickly find half of the tools you had out. Keeping organized as you go does actually save you time in the long run because you are not wasting time looking for tools or parts.

@BigTireGarage Год назад

Oh I don't disagree with you....but when in the thrash...and you are pulling four 20 hour days....it gets messy no matter how hard I try this happens at least once a year

@vetguy2562 Год назад

That's actually a really great idea 😎👍

@ianroberts8371 Год назад

@ivanperkes6006 Год назад

You can do an Edison circuit with a 2 pole gfci breaker, then you'll have two dedicated circuits in a 1/2 conduit.

@vetguy2562 Год назад

That's exactly what I'm working on too, Reorganize and Redistribute the shop stuff (actually just a 2 car garage here though 🤣) so I can build the Jeep truck, nice work Ian 😎👍

@bp4887 Год назад

Jody at Gravely trailers built my car hauler custom and one of the spare tire mounts has a spindle welded into it and a live hub is attached as the spare tire mount and if I blow a bearing or hub on the road, it gives me a full replacement. Sweet setup

@BigTireGarage Год назад

I was going to do the same thing TBH

@kellysandford1877 Год назад

Love the videos! One critique is just the music coming in too loud when you’re finishing your explanations. Feels like an Oscar speech that has gone on to long and the music is kicking them off haha!

@lynnbell6374 Год назад

Not going to give us a glory shot a walk around or of the fenders all painted? I feel robbed lol. AND YES A TURBO 400 rebuild would be great!

@craigmaverick Год назад

If you adding new electrical outlets down your wall, say 4-6 in a line/circuit. As long as the first outlet closest to your electrical panel is a GFI outlet then all the other outlets after that will be protected by the GFI. At least that's code were I live.

@vetguy2562 Год назад

Excellent point ☝️

@BigTireGarage Год назад

True....but I have space in the panel to add a dedicated circuit just for this one item...so that will be my plan

@billyd2593 Год назад

You can get replacement spindles made to weld into the axle tube. It makes a great spare tire carrier to use a spindle and hub with the added benefit of having a spare hub on hand without taking up space.

@derekbuxton7101 Год назад

Another question - as a long time viewer I am curious whether you are still in touch with any of your former colleagues from Spike and Power Nation? I really enjoyed the Search and Restore episodes when they brought everyone together in a huge cross-over show.

@bp4887 Год назад

I love seeing you use Ryobi tools. I used to have Dewalt but it got too expensive and I bought my fist ryobi set out of necessity and low funds and have just kept adding to them.

@pameladunn7346 Год назад

FYI - had a similar problem on my trailer years ago and went with disc brakes "surge" so i don't have to have a controller on the rig I'm using ... the company i used was Kodiak great product - great price

Domion Sure Seal Gravel Gaurd is my go to.

@jonaathansimons7938 Год назад

Motobuilt fenders are cool, but @ eight bills + shipping... think they'd out value my ol 19' tip deck! For my spare tire, I used a piece of C channel that drops into any of the stake pockets: remove or relocate as needed. A length of chain padlocks to itself to keep it from "growing legs".

@BigTireGarage Год назад

Yeah they aren't "cheap" but once I priced the steel to build my own it was only a couple hundred less....I also priced a new trailer...and it was almost 7G..this one was bought for 1800 bucks brand new...

@codysheppard3447 Год назад

After having my shop for a few years, I have found things I like, dislike, and wish I had done differently. I wish I had plumbed the floor for in-floor heat. If you had to start fresh on this shop, is there anything you would change or do differently?

@BigTireGarage Год назад

That question is in one of the upcoming Q and A videos

@codysheppard3447 Год назад

@@BigTireGarage cool! There's lots of things I currently like about mine, I know people will always say "more space" or "a vehicle lift" but there's still some other things that may have been a good idea but turn into little annoyances that in building a shop you don't think about.

I have a 79 Cherokee Chief that's has a TH400. And it just started leaking more than normal from the pump seal. I think? Never had an automatic transmission apart. And it's really hard to sift through the bs reviews of shops. I'll volunteer my cherokee as tribute for your th400 lesson. I try to drivenit every other day and it's been sitting for a couple weeks now. I hate it just sitting there. I'm going to attempt to see what's going on next week when I get some time off. But I'll save it for you if you want. I'll even throw in some bourbon for your troubles.
