Another question and answer session this week, with a bonus answer of what happened to the Diesel Suzuki I built years ago, and has recently been seen on FourWheeler. What is my least favorite part of a build, inner air locks/bead locks and why does the radiator go in the back of a rock crawler.

Least favorite thing is trying to make what I can afford work when what I can't afford is way easier.

@DirtLifestyle Год назад

Collecting parts for the zuk as we speak! Thanks for the call my friend, I can't wait to get started 🙌

@jimrellis Год назад

No question but glad I found you on RU-vid. I remember all these old builds! So awesome to learn more about what happened to them. This is really awesome keep it up!

@jonathonhart9145 Год назад

That zuk project was always one of my favorite from way back in the day. Glad to hear it’s still around and maybe get to see it on the trail again.

@iamblaineful Год назад

Glad Nate got the Zuk, so cool. I grew up in WA very near Nate and rand all of the same trails until I moved to CA. Now the Rubicon is my backyard, totally different from West WA, but Elbe will always still have a special place in my heart.

@thepeeve Год назад

I remember watching the show back with Jessi when you guys first got the Zuk. I think I was in elementary school at the time lol. And I remember watching it repeatedly online on Powerblock's website later on the re fresh to make it lower, and then it's final form. Been a big fan of Nate from the past few years so very stoked for him to get it and keep that thing doing what it was designed to do.

@JeepnJeff Год назад

Love that YJ. Would love to do a stretch and a bed. Just got some Method 701's for mine.

@jebediahbritt5851 Год назад

I remember watching you and Jesse on the zuk build when I first found xtreme. When nate first hinted at getting one of your old builds I was praying that it was the zuk.

@frediefarmer Год назад

👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 love Nate’s channel.

@WBOS72 Год назад

Great video Ian. I love doing the mai trnance. Could you film the Commanche maintenance video for us?

@michaeljones2960 Год назад

I remember when you and Jesse converted it to run on propane. Was a badass little crawler

@dogpotter Год назад

Thanks for sharing really enjoy the Q&A and I remember watching you build the Suzuki the on Extreme and the re fit with the new TDI diesel all cool stuf thanks

@demondunk Год назад

Was fantastic to see Nate had bought the zuk. Loved that build .

@kylewiberg7054 Год назад

I’m super stoked to hear that the samurai is in good hands. Through the years that has been my all time favorite build. I’m looking forward to seeing it on Nate’s channel!

@roughneckrover Год назад

The mad thrash is like a norm for me, usually a month or so before my next event.... burns me out every time and forces a procrastination that leads to another mad thrash before the next event. Its a vicious cycle.

@jtcustoms1182 Год назад

Well few things. Not sure why your scared of body work when you know Kevin Tetz. He is awesome. Also excited about the suzuki build and if not you building great second choice. Where can I find the video of you guys lowering it. I want to see all of them. Thanks

@StormbornJKU Год назад

What you said about beadlocks is great! So many Jeep guys think that you absolutely need beadlocks and that’s not true at all. I’ve been running a normal wheel, not a beadlock, for years now. I’m wheeling regularly down to 10 PSI and never have issues. Never popped a bead. Good info.

@xTinBenderX Год назад

Where did get the inspiration for the Comanche suspension design? Can't wait to see what Nate does with the Zook!

@deserteagle4151 Год назад

Where is it now. The Urban Gorilla ? Also how were gonna do the driveline to the rear axles on the 6x6 suburban?

@shanemcnulty138 Год назад

What happened to the ultra4 bronco?

@Todd66 Год назад

The Zuk build was close to my heart as I owned a 1988.5 for 15 years and absolutely loved it. When the episode came out with the Samurai I was SO happy. I even recorded those shows on VHS ….ah…the good ol days.

@gatekeeperoffroad4252 Год назад

Weres the 2 car garage buggy build at?

@jeffnevius Год назад

Hate not having enough money to finish it on timely fashion cost over run.

@mattthewr1983 Год назад

Do you keep all your vehicles at your shop? It would be really cool to see them all lined up and doing a 2 min walk through of each of them.

@BigTireGarage Год назад

Not all of them...but I can make that happen

@mattthewr1983 Год назад

@@BigTireGarage that would be awesome it’s always cool to see people’s collections when they build so many rigs it’s interesting to see which ones they choose to keep and why

@petecolone5125 Год назад

When it comes to old projects the Ford f150 you were building to compare to the raptor was awesome, but I lost track. Did it ever get finished. Luv your vids bud. God bless.

@christopherhuber2517 Год назад

Nice ending

@BigWheelFab Год назад

Did you ever finish the IFS Bronco build from back in the day? My other question is how does the gearing work on a mid engine buggy when the engine is turned around?

@hugieflhr03 Год назад

What happened to the Suburban Gorilla? It seems that build got off to a great start! Then at the end it seemed slapped together and disappeared!

@abpsd73 Год назад

Least favorite thing is body work, just because it is so tedious and time consuming. Seems like I can get the frame, drivetrain and electrical all done in less time than all the body work.

@LouRasta Год назад

Ian, have you thought about another ranger build? Maybe a Jessie tribute?

@jonjalbert1922 Год назад

Glad to see Nate has a new project, "The Zuki". Excited to see what he will make of it. My question is what's the jeep behind you when you do your Q & A? Looks like a TJ Pickup? 2nd question, are you racing KOH?

@TheoneDragon51 Год назад

Love dirt life style!

@nelsdemma6907 Год назад

What is up with the Cummins r2.8 and is there another project using r2.8

@philipwilliams6270 Год назад

I’d love to see some of your past projects like suburban gorilla it was one of my favorites

@BigTireGarage Год назад

Loved that truck.. future QandA on that one for sure

@koreykilburn5303 Год назад

That’s cool with the Suzuki. I watch Nate’s channel Dirt Lifestyle. I like his builds and his teaching style is great.

@rustinpeterson7440 Год назад

Hello Ian, What scissor lift do you have, would you recommend it for a home garage, and would you lift a built Jeep JLU with it?

@nicholascooper1193 Год назад

worst part of body work is it a LOT of work, and you can screw it up and have to basically start over...

@thinfrog1 Год назад

I see you switch between Tig and Mig on the same rig or even the same part. How do you decide which method to use and why?

@troylassalle Год назад

Ian , we all hate changing oil ! Lol mechanics cars are the last to be fixed.

@tonysq122 Год назад

Least favorite for me is body work for sure.

@jeepguy1337 Год назад

I’d love a complete detail breakdown of the shop truck

@TwistedToad13 Год назад

What's the largest tire size you can safely run on built 9" axles?

@marktadlock5428 Год назад

On Can-Am side by side we had to lift the front 45 degrees and the tilt them 45 degrees toward the passenger side. To get rid air pockets in the cooling system.

@cjleon1104 Год назад

What ever happened to the yellow Jeep that you and Jessie built waayyy back on Extreme? I believe it was maybe some of the first episodes ? Or even the SuburbanGorilla?

@abpsd73 Год назад

Cool to hear Nate has another diesel project in the works. I'm in the midst of stuffing a VW common rail TDI into a Ranger.

@a1racer441 Год назад

That’s cool I really liked watching the different builds on the Suzuki remember watching the first build then the diesel swap and running it on vegetable oil then the rebuilt lcg 4 links. Glad to see it will continue that thing is pretty iconic.

@Plain_Pancakes Год назад

I’m curious about your thoughts on wheel base to application, I know there’s “ideals and standards” for each use but everyone has a different perspective

@davidanderson3999 Год назад

Not really a build truck, but do you still have the Dodge 5.9that you did the mileage series on I think it was 3 or 4 episodes, Lobe Dodge/ Mopar builds, keep up the good content

@lilorbielilorbie2496 Год назад

That's a cool story about the Suzuki. But what I want to know is what happened to the rig that you built to haul it in. It was some kind of former fire truck I believe but its been a few years so I might be mistaken. On your former show you show how you put air bags on the fire truck so you could squat the rear and drive the Suk up into it.

@sas86toy Год назад

Running cheap Military beadlock good or bad

@makingtechsense126 Год назад

The Suzuki build was one of my all-time favorites. I would like to build one like it at its second iteration.

@BigTireGarage Год назад

It worked so well...super lightweight...great power with the diesel...so much fun to drive

@larryboy8821 Год назад

Ian is just such a nice guy.

@nickmiller7829 Год назад

I have a 93 Ford Ranger I'm slowly working on and was curious about the benefits of fully plating the frame to make it stronger or benefits to boxing it in? What do you prefer or what would you do?

@BigTireGarage Год назад

Great question...that is going on the QandA list

@nickmiller7829 Год назад

Awesome! I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it thank you!

@madman432000 Год назад

I missed the vid where he brings in the Suzuki, unless it is on the Patreon side of things.

@BigTireGarage Год назад

i don't think it has hit his RU-vid yet.....those were pulled from his IG account

@teodulonatividad5414 Год назад

What is your favourite 4x4 rig you owned? Am from the Philippines 🇵🇭

@Jason-dy6qy Год назад

Least favorite thing is needing an expensive part, contemplating with myself and convincing myself that I can make it work a different way. Actually make it work but not as good as the part you need and then just go buy the part. LoL 🤷

@BigTireGarage Год назад

There is a saying buy once...cry once...and it is pretty accurate

@perrymahnke886 Год назад

My two least favorite things are body work & electrical, although I'm getting more comfortable with electrical the more I push myself to do it. Great questions & awesome answers, and I love hearing about the history of the Zuk (one of my bucket list vehicles).

@tomkelly3896 Год назад

I have a question....is that grease....silicone...or gel in your hair🤔🤔🤔

@morgan68fbrd Год назад

So I tend to get hung up on a project because I want to do it all at once and money doesn’t work that way. How do you get past something like that?

@BigTireGarage Год назад

Great question...putting on the list

@jamescason7783 Год назад

Hell ya dude, thats awesome. Can't wait to see what he and u did next. Makes me want to work on my suburban.

@rkd350z Год назад

Everyone loves Samurai

@BigTireGarage Год назад

True...Sammy's just are too cool

@mikes.9755 Год назад

I hate needing to wait while I save more money.

@billymorris339 8 месяцев назад

What ever happened to the raging bull I loved that build

@BigTireGarage 8 месяцев назад

New owner is rocking it all over the South

@ateamoffroad1179 Год назад

Well as you know Ian I'm building a Willy's just like yours for my daughter and I'd have to say the sheet metal work as well. I have a few spots on the top corners that are making me nervous. but it has to be done so I will be tackling this soon.

@yjsaabman Год назад

Sometimes those deadlines exist for the rest of, too. But those deadlines can provide motivation to get things done that we've been putting off. Registering for an event earlier this year pushed me to finish projects on my rig and finally go enjoy it. It was a lot of long, busy weekends along the way.

@BigTireGarage Год назад

So true!

@johngrant1337 Год назад

thanks great story Have you ever built up a new vehicle for a manufacturer ! thanks

@BigTireGarage Год назад

I did a Nissan Van for Nissan once

@paullewis375 Год назад

fabrication is art..

@bobbymulwee7641 Год назад

Hey - what's the story with the solid axle swap dodge Dakota in the back of the shop outside?

@jeffrentsch4318 Год назад

I hate looking for a specific part like spacers for transmission crossmember, or transfer case mount, also figuring out what other people were thinking the past 40 years.

@jeepgodfabrication9970 Год назад

Hey Ian, is your wife into the sport? Does she enjoy wheeling trips?

@dwaynehoffmann8538 Год назад

Lucky Nate P!!! Go dirtlifestyle.

@csabin312 Год назад

Not to harp but still waiting on said Comanche.........

@BigTireGarage Год назад

Oh you will be very happy...very soon

@lunkydog Год назад

I'm sure wiring will be the #1 least part for the majority and "body shop jail" if they're farming out the paint. Zook was one of my favorites BTW.

@michaelbishop242 Год назад

with a fleet of 11 vehicle's.. Routine MX drowns me...... id much rather be modifying/building

@KevinHalliburton Год назад

What are your thoughts on adding frame stiffeners to unibody rigs like a Jeep XJ? I know a lot of people do it but I'm concerned that stiffening part of the "frame" might concentrate more load on the parts of the frame that don't get plated.

@ridestreet20 Год назад

This is starting to feel like a job.

@BigTireGarage Год назад

Never

@TheIshter86 Год назад

Would you ever consider changing your hairstyle? Do you feel stuck with it?

@jbrunsonjr Год назад

You need to blow everyone’s mind and do a whole episode without your hair spiked. 🤣

@BigTireGarage Год назад

Ha ha...should just for fun

@jbrunsonjr Год назад

Or just one random clip. Totally confuse the masses. Keep up the great work!!

@tazmo2004 Год назад

I hate electrical gremlins. And paying for expensive parts.

@DirtySideGetsDown Год назад

I hate bleeding brakes after putting them together. I always get a good pedal, but in the back of my mind always wonder if I got all the air.

@BigTireGarage Год назад

Get a pressure pot bleeder...they work so well

@dubCanuck1 Год назад

Logistics. Gotta love it.

@stephencocke66 Год назад

Least favorite part is paying for it. The parts I want and the parts my wife lets me afford….

@alanparker1598 Год назад

What happened to the 6x6 that you shortened and made into a flat bed to carry the samurai? Looked like a cool but big truck.

@billjcanada Год назад

I love Samuaris, I have built two of them. Sold them and regretted doing so. If my wife would let me I would build another one.

@HELUVJEEPS Год назад

What was your most favorite project to build and what was your least favorite project to build???

@shanewright6958 Год назад

👍👍

@maxrunge7599 Год назад

Have you seen the hbomax documentary on Jesse and if so what did you think,

@roverdogs_keithwhelchel Год назад

Hey Ian, Do the family like going out on trips with you?

@kstricl Год назад

My least favorite thing is the car loan on the wife's vehicle preventing me from starting.

@BigTireGarage Год назад

Those are nice when they go away

@FiveFourRacing Год назад

When you did the bomber chassis you did leading arms is there a reason you don't see guys do that more on moon buggies

@toyotrailbuggy Год назад

Hello, I had the pleasure of meeting you like 10-12 years ago in hot springs when you took the crawlmaro out. What happened with crawl magazine, are they still around? And what made you part ways?

@BigTireGarage Год назад

Another great question!!!
