In Todays video we install the XO Fab DIY rock slider kit. This is a great beginner fabrication project as it doesn't require a lot of expensive tools, besides a welder.

Good work. I would caution that vertical welds on stressed members CAN lead to cracking at the HAZ. For anyone at home performing this install, orient the plates in a diamond as opposed to square. This reduces the strain path and also allows better access to the top side for welding. You get a better torch position and can see the puddle much better

@MuddyBeards4X4 Год назад

Yup, should have done this☝🏻 too late now 🤣

I enjoy all your content man. Nice to see you made an attempt to reply to everyones comments so far as well. Glad to hear your not a professional welder. Watching some of these builds can be intimidating. Enjoy your holiday man. Wheel on

Not all pretty welds hold. It can be ugly welds will hold lol. They look good to me. You love this build. Can’t wait to see it done.

Very true, doesn’t have to be pretty to be strong. Thanks 🤟🏻

Liked the video. Very informative. But I have to ask, how many "t"s are in across?

@Keithdoesit Год назад

Hey if you live close to Colorado hot me up I have a tube bender love doing this stuff. Made similar ones myself.

@xxcarlosxx16 Год назад

So I welded my rock slider on my frame exactly like you did and was told that I should have welded the scab plate at a 45 deg angle. Vertical welds on a frame are a no no. Have you heard that as well?

@MuddyBeards4X4 Год назад

Yea, I realized that after I was almost done. Talked to a bunch of people. Some say it matters some doesn’t. It would have been easier to weld for sure. But I don’t think it will be any stronger.

@Austinandjules Год назад

Personally I’ve welded on 100 plus late model vehicles. I’ve never disconnected a battery and never fried a computer. Seems like a bunch of nonsense. the arc will take the shortest path. Just keep your ground close

@MuddyBeards4X4 Год назад

I have welded on a bunch without disconnecting as well, never had an issue. But it only takes one time to destroy a ecu and I don’t want someone who doesn’t know what they are doing, put the ground in a bad spot and blow out there battery or computers…..

@jakematthews6982 Год назад

I’ve burned up a computer just unplugging it while the battery was connected. Sure electricity takes the shortest path but it also takes all paths. More current will take the shortest path but current will absolutely take any path that is part of the circuit whether it’s the shortest or the longest. So disconnect the battery.

@JSingh100 Год назад

I wouldn’t want my vehicle to be a guinea pig for a theory, so okay with battery disconnected. . . When electricity changes path, words will change too ….

@CodyCrafted Год назад

We've all done things and gotten away with it, but my plasma seems to have killed 2 laptops on the same day recently. For me, especially on a customer car, I disconnect the battery, and if the ECU is accessible it too.

@zackebel2973 Год назад

It’s not about the welding arc, it’s about the high frequency voltages that get induced on the surrounding wires that can kill those components. MIG welding has a lot less, TIG and Plasma produce more, so you are more likely to destroy sensitive electrical components that way depending on your proximity to them. Let’s survivorship bias reign and don’t unplug the ground if you don’t want to, it’s your risk:reward. That said there is a legitimate, although minor risk, and it takes like 5 seconds to disconnect a battery. DIY CNC plasma guys deal with this all the time, it’s a real thing.

The harbor freight baur surface reconditioning tool? Is that what you are talking about?

@@MuddyBeards4X4 Yup that's what it is! I wasn't sure what it was, looks like it works good. Cheers Bud!

@05victorylly Год назад

Curious if you think these will hold up as is? Not being critical, genuinely curious. I would think dropping onto them on a rock and they will push right up into the doors/rockers???

@MuddyBeards4X4 Год назад

They will definitely hold up, of course if i dropped the whole truck from like a foot up onto a rock it will bend, but even if it pushed up into the body it will spread the load out and not dent one spot. So way better than nothing. And it will keep trees and rocks out of the top of the cab.

@05victorylly Год назад

@@MuddyBeards4X4 yep understood! Appreciate the reply! I’ve always wondered how people keep them from pushing into the body with all that leverage/distance from the frame. My JK has factory “rock rails” that are body mounted….I always felt like mounting them to the frame and also to the tub would provide more support but I hate to create a hard mount between body and frame.
