The Ultimate Steering Setup for the '79 Wagoneer SEMA Jeep! 

The shop videos are what I always liked most from Matt's Off-road. Glad to see you doing your own thing.

UPS overnight came through in 4 days! Love your sense of humour.

The owner's trust in you Tom to work on his SEMA Jeep is a testament to your precision and work ethic!

You know it’s gonna be a killer Tom Tom build when the white board comes out.

I’d trust Tom Tom to upgrade anything on my vehicle

"Validated not just for me but for hoarders everywhere" thanks i needed that

We got to admit that there's everything to love about Tom Tom. He's smart, confident, knowledgeable and a very result oriented. I can't wait to see his channel hit 500k subs or even a million subscribers before the year ends. Keep grinding sir. Africa No.1 fan here. ✌️✌️🇰🇪🇰🇪

When overnight takes 4 days you know you live somewhere that’s pretty nice.

My dad was a farmer and later a machinist. He used calipers and micrometers like you. Even though he was not trained as an engineer, he had that mindset and process practice. He was also safety conscious. I love watching you work as it reminds me of my dad, which is the highest compliment I can give!

You just proved that the last 10% of most jobs takes 90% of your time & effort. Your mastery of fabrication shows in your approach and execution of tasks. Thanks for sharing.

Mate, I gotta admit I miss you at MORR and the banter with you and Matt… But, I’m loving this channel and it was a natural step to head out alone. You’ve nailed it. Have watched all the episodes and will stick with you. This Jeep is awesome! Keep up the great work, mate. Greetings from Tasmania, Australia

…overnighted…in 4 days! 😂Nothing better than spending Sundays in Tom Tom’s Shop…👊

My favorite part of this video was when you made something out of nothing for the steering! Great time watching you guys!

Whoever is doing the sound mixing for these videos is operating on a whole different level than most youtubers, outstanding job. The end of the last video and the bell sound in this one, my mans putting in work.

22:00 the washer!

Tom get yourself a cheap hot gun when your trying to figure out that pump mount hot gun the cardboard directly to the pump trim it to fit mount location and you got a template and its only hot glue it will come right off

Safety glasses in use…. Imagine that. Enjoying the content.

"Does that look level?" OMG. Of all the things I expected you to bust a laser level out for...

Tom Tom, you need some posters or something on your garage walls! Always feels like you're working in somebody's apartment, those naked walls need some love! near end of vid edit - Hell yeah, finally getting some wall decorations! 👍🏼

Hoarders Unite! My wife complains about the "junk" but I know I'll need that little thingamajig on the right side of the third shelf from the top some day. Besides, it's all fairly well organized and neat to a certain extent (if you don't look directly at it).😁

Who else was tensing up with Tom when he was pushing the lines down on the brass.

Between you and Colt, I think you guys are the best at explaining and installing parts. I will probably never do almost anything that you guys are doing, but it's fun to learn and watch.

A few things you could maybe do in the future. When welding close to something like that little U-joint, wrap a wet rag around it, helps keeps some heat off the joint. Also when pouting with a gallon jug, turn it flat, it helps keep it from surge splashing. Also, a funnel is your friend! Wondering why it doesn't have a "Z" bar type drag link to make the link more parallel? If that Jeep had any death wobble, it's now gone. The steering assist kinda acts like a Steering dampener on steroids! And yes, really helps to turn the Jeep in tough places.

This Wagoneer is amazing! I have a 77 Jeep J20 Pickup that needs a lot of work. I wish I could have mine built out like this.😁 Truly beautiful!

Great job Tom Tom!😂

I’m amazed at how much you manage to get done without a second set of hands.

Camera person doing excellent work. Who is it?

Hoarders of the world rejoice! 😎

Need some equipment sponsors. Great job

its a good day when a tom tom video comes out.

It took me years to realize that hoarding is not actually a good thing. My hoarders stash is an airplane hangar full of engines, transmissions steering gear springs heads mechanical treasures and nonsence. What I have found is the stash worries my kids because when I tip; over they have to figure out why I saved all this junk! That is gives me a laugh, My pile is now priceless as everything I have will cause them to wonder how long I was crazy! That pile of parts you chopped up to make a throw away temporary fixjust equaled several hours of work that probably frustrated you because of it's temporary nature. Dissatisfied you because you knew the correct way was the best way. I have learned that anything that does not fit your standards is not worth doing in the first place. Not one part of a job finished is worth risking injury or damage while being used, but you know that! Great content keep it up.

Wish I lived closer. I like you to do some upgrades for me.

Man am I jealous of how easy that rotor came off. Sincerely an angry New Englander

Been waiting for your video all week. Thanks Tom Tom

Love your channel Tom. Keep it up.

Tommy Tom Tom ❤

Tom is the kind of neighbor I would like to have.

that jeep is sweet!!!!

I love the old Wagoneers. My dad had a 1988 Grand Wagoneer. It was a big beautiful burgundy beast with the ‘wood’ paneling on the sides and all the chrome. And even stock it was very capable when the pavement ended. It turned heads before the SUV invasion of the suburbs took hold.

Really enjoy the struggles like the rest of us. Then adapting and making it work.

Looking good!

Good morning from New Zealand TOM TOM

The Professor doing his thing…

pb&j is nostalgia and hits the mark every time

Solid line up in my sub list today. I’m watching you first . Love the clean edits .

I always ran the studs in with a lug nut, never knew there was another way.

Thanks Angela

Love You Tom and Your Channel Brother ❤️ God Bless You & Your Family My Friend 🙏

Your welder needs to lay off the beans!😂

man that wagoneer was an EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER, glad we had a happy ending

Tom Tom when I find my dream vehicle to turn into the ultimate off road rig I’m bring it to you for the build!

It’s fine to use a nut and some washers to put in a lug nut stud as long as you’re careful. I’ve seen and done hundreds of them that way when the situation called for it. I enjoy TomTom’s dedication to being thorough and doing things the proper way, but sometimes you can get a little too carried away with doing things proper and end up never getting anything done. Sometimes a shortcut is absolutely ok or even necessary to avoid causing more issues or taking up way too much time. It’s a fine line and a balancing act to learn when and where to do things 100% by the book and when things can be done the easier and shorter way

Hey Tom, just a suggestion, when you build all those brackets round off the sharp c I rners and cut edges. Your hands and fingers will appreciate not having all those sharp edges when you are working in tight spaces plus it just looks more professional.

Tom Tom, Mr fabricator. Looks great

Two words, Tom: safety glasses (9:37)

that's good when a vehicle sounds like a singing bowl

Dude...they're over there messing with your Spud Truck over at Matt's.

ahhhh, Tom Tom running a drill without his safety glasses! Busted! LOL😉

NICE!

Tom Tom you're amazing team PB&J👍👊

Great job TomTom 👏 👍. Keep up your great work and videos 👏.

Like what I'm seeing TomTom keep up the good work will enjoy seeing what you come up with digdug first lol God bless

good thing tom is a qualified engineer cause he just engineered the crap out of this buld

You are a wizard TomTom!!

I love that Jeep!

Tom you’re quickly becoming one of my favorite channels… Keep up the great work

One of the best things you’ve ever made.

Tom Tom you the man!

I don't know who does your editing but I appreciate the flow of your videos! Nice work & Thank you for sharing

"Does that look level?" What?? As a fellow engineer, I can't believe you didn't put a level on that banner to make sure instead of just eyeballing it! 😂

Another excellent and entertaining video. Thanks, Tom (and Mrs.). Side note: It may be time for a little shop organization before it becomes a safety hazard for you...

You're doing a very good job of editing. I find that anything over 40 mins is too long and I skip by some. BTW, my father had a Jeep Wagoneer, I don't remember what year it was, but it was the last year they used regular gas (not unleaded). It had a 440 engine.

I watch many videos covering a number of interests on weekends and this one is the best I've seen.

Love your channel. Really cool how you explained your departure from MORR. Thumbs up to your wife's help on the channel! Love Matt's channel also. You guys are good entertainment and teachers!!! Thanks so much

Another great video Tom Tom and your beautiful helper

Tom Tom, It's not nuclear physics!! Use an impact to seat that stud.... It will be 11% better!! Cool project. Safe Travels.

A few items to address: Hoarding - having an axle for 15 years, then using it on a project from the guy that you bought it from! Trimming the claws on Matt's hammer - it was in one of Tom Tom's first videos. Installing lug bolts - we always pulled them in with a washer and lug nut, but we used a torque wrench. I like that Tom Tom's approach to every job is as if it were going to SEMA. Even fixing yard equipment for a neighbor. Great channel! Thank you!

Niice Job....Tom-Tom

Get the 🇺🇸 on the wall!! 🇺🇸

Good job

TomTom and Mighty Car Mods need to start a band, their instruments being radiator guitars and pulley drums. 😂

Refreshing to see a guy measure and mark before drilling holes.

Another good one Tom

Skills and patience

.... that's quite a snazzy little parts chaser you got there, Tom Tom!

I love watching your precision, combined with a make it work attitude. I love watching Matt build, but he kinda makes me think of a hillbilly building a windmill to make electricity for his tv. You're more like the nuclear engineer building a power plant.... Oh wait....

Awesome vid Tom keep them coming !!!!!

Good job Tom. I’m enjoying the content.

Another top notch episode!

Angela's eyes match the Jeep's paint color. 🙂

Wow! 164k subs! You must be proud TomTom!!!

Did u forget a washer between the rotor and the hub on the wheel stud you replaced, or was that just anti seize

Keep up the good work, love it! 👍

From nuclear engineer to gearhead fabricator, Tom's a perpetual motion machine of learning and problem solving. Also very good job whoever's on the camera (wife, Jenny?).

Quality work as always.

Excellent work Tom. You've got to get out sometimes so you don't get cabin/shop fever.

Great work Tom Tom

Lisle makes a great little wheel stud installer for pulling a stud through from the outside. It lets you do it the wrong way the right way! SKU 22800.

Loving your channel Tom!

Watching Tom do such precise work is so cool😊
