Welding Rock Sliders INTO The Body Of My Jeep Cherokee XJ
มุมมอง 2.7Kปีที่แล้ว
Gain ground clearance and rigidity in a Jeep XJ unibody by welding your sliders directly into the body! Jeep XJ unibodies can weaken and twist overtime due to hard off roading. Cutting out my rocker panels, welding my sliders directly to the body, and bracing them back to the frame should add a tremendous amount of strength to this chassis. And provide a great place to tie in a roll cage!

Donde puedo comprar el nudillo como el que instalaste?
Hey I know this is an older video but I need to do this on the donor AW4 in my YJ.. how hard was it to pry off? I have a new one in case I break it... No Reverse lights are the issue. I am working on floors AND RAILS ON , MY xj TOO... i SUBSCRIBED!
Show the bumper and less of your face
So what do you think about using the cheapest harbor freight wire welder vs stick welding? As a beginner.
@@jreg0028 by cheapest welder if you are referring to a flux core, I might say do stick. Could probably get some nicer welds. But you can get a used mig machine for not too expensive
@machinesinc What size lift do you have? I am running a 4.5 in 3-link now with 33x10.5s. Thinking I could probably do similar cutting and proper bumpstopping and clear 35s.
Up at midnight because of jet lag watching some of your older stuff I haven't seen before. Your method for squaring the crossmember is right on time. I am installing a long arm setup on my jeep now and hadn't thought of that. I was measuring off of the wheel wells to center the axle in the wheel opening, but that makes sense to make sure the axles are parallel to each other. Thanks for that.
Glad the little tips can help!
Love it❤
Thanks!
Lay your sheet metal on the lawn and drive over it
I’d be concerned of damaging the material with over bending or deforming
What type swaybar do you have? Do you like it? What sway bar setup would you recommend for a low lift with 1.75" lift in front, 2.25" in rear?
It’s an Antirock. Love it for off-road. But if yours is primarily on road a factory sway bar with disconnects might be a good option as well
Do you have a link to the spec you used when designing the cage?
It’s not 100% to spec, but this is a good reference kingofthehammers.com/competitors/rulebook/
What pipe bender is that? And where do you get your tube steel?
It’s a rouge fab tubing bender. I buy all my steel from local supply yards
Yeah.... You look pretty... With those earrings... You're outta here.
?
what axles are you running on your jeep? I'm considering getting an xj to build with big tires, I'm just trying to figure out if d30 front w/ d44 rear will be a beefy enough axle to handle big tires once built, or if I should just not care about axles and upgrade them to better ones
I have Dana 44s front and rear. A low pinion 44 like I have in the front is only marginally better than a Dana 30. But that being said if yours are going to invest money in upgrading/building an axle I would recommend starting with something other than the 30. You will spend the same amount of money and have a way nicer setup
I'm looking at doing the same thing but with a F150 dana 44 in my LJ
High pinion 44 out of the ford is 100% a better option
Been thinking about buying this bumper for my xj and badlands 12000. How has it held up to winching?
For the price not a bad bumper. Got used plenty. But did bend it a bit hitting rocks, have since sold it and built a new one
What was the Amazon linkage you used?
a.co/d/4diPcaf
Wondering how those hinges have held up, ever think about a piano hinge?
I’ve broken one. Definitely not a fan of them, but they are the best fitting option I’ve seen so far. Piano hinge might not be a terrible idea.
I just went to put the same Amazon linkage kit on mine and was like.... Wtf? This don't match up..... Then I found your video and now I know why 😂 Thanks brother.
On most vehicles the NSS also operated the reverse lamps.
👍🏼
amazing video brother. great fabrication. Did you charge for this job?? if so how much because my buddy wants me to fab one of these up for him. i will be tig welding it together
I did charge for this job. Tig welding will take you drastically longer to complete. My video shows the hours it takes, now come up with your hourly rate!
Lovely ❤❤❤ van
Thanks!
Great job! I had a 66 Ford Falcon van and enjoyed watching your vans story.
Glad you enjoyed it!
oh man... i was all excited to bang this thing out in a weekend LOL. I appreciate the reality check. Just curious, did you relocate the backup camera?
Yes my buddy had plans to relocate onto the swingout.
Fix it properly,replace the portion of rusted floor that needs attention, likewise to all rusted areas,there's no shortcuts ,a job worth doing is a job worth doing well
Already done in a later video!
For the railroad 😂
John Henry over here 😂
I am doing a 70 G20. I would like to get some more information on your 4x4 conversion if you would share. I have a Red-E-Kamp conversion that is straight as an arrow and deserves to be on the road. Thanks. Mr.S
My video about setting up dual horns shows some more details on the 4x4 setup
@@machinesinc Thank you. I will check it out.
The first van looks like a Greenbrier van with a rear engine.
Yep
Didn't show anything about it that makes it over landing cool. Flashy van, hot motor and an awning? No interior, no cabinets no bed....
Can still drive over land with no bed! Lol
@machinesinc that just makes it a flashy 4wd to show off. 🙄
I watched a few other videos but yours is the best.. thank you
Glad it helped!
Nice build and great history.
Thanks!
I had the same van back in the 70's. My friends and I called her the crippler due to the fact if you get in a head on even if your legs will get mangled even if your doing like 30 miles an hour. Looks good and drive safe.
Not gunna lie I think about this all the time haha
I haven’t even seen inside yet and I love it!
Thanks!
Sweet video man. Very clear and I love the product too, old one shot the bed half way up a cliff lol
Thanks!
Awesome 4X4 😀👍❤
Thanks 👍
I bought Amend 2 mags a few years ago. Out of 6 mags, about 3 have issues with the feed lips. Like, they have hairline cracks allowing rounds to just fall out. They're outta commission now.
lol how’d we get to guns? I’ll avoid the Amend 2 mags 😂
@machinesinc Idk. Lol. Apparently I commented on wrong post. That's what happens when I multi-task. 🤣
What exactly is an overlander? Doesn't everything with wheels go over land?
It’s a fun term to sell camping gear 😂
I would have stayed with the inline 6 and a granny gear ⚙️ manual transmission. Excellent build ❤ though 😊
Fair enough!
WTF... What doe's the back look like? What a ripoff...
Rip
I would of put a inline 292 in it, not enough power a cheap fab turbo system with 5 psi and wala 400 ftb torque at low rpm. Swap the TH350 for a TR4050 wala granny gear and OD invicible! 3:73 gears FTW! Awesome van regardless!
@@shyecjj brand new V8 was cheaper than a China turbo at the time haha
Vans are my 1st choice do everything vehicle. You’ve made a gem here. It is almost as nice as an Econoline from early 60’s looks.
Right on!
8:19 your neighbor's fault because everyone builds houses from thin paper sheets. I'm from germany and even if a grenade will explode outside next to my living room... I would not realize it, because our homes are made from massive bricks 😅
Lol
I know where two of them are and they're both panel Vans with no doors on the side in Maryland
Nice!
For the most part, it's super awesome. Actually it's fucking awesome
Thanks
Looks good. What frame side trackbar mount are you using? I assume the axle trackbar mount is Barnes
Current days both sides are barns and welded
After watching, I think I'm gonna buy a pre-built bumper afterall 😅
lol it saves some time for sure
Great vehicle! Your grandfather would be proud of your referb.
I appreciate that!
awesome car . just awesome .
Glad you like it!
Nice, your granddad would be proud
Thanks!
I had a 67 108 that I put in a 340ish HP 3970010 4 bolt main 350 and I dropped it in thru the top. All I had to do is unpin the stop on the passenger door. I used a 2:73 69 Impala rear end and Turbo 350 trans. I made the throttle cable for it and it was 11 feet long. It would tow anything, and got 19 mpg on the freeway. I miss that thing, and wish I would have kept it to tow my 16 foot cargo trailer conversion, but now have a 03 Tahoe Z71 5.3, and love it.
Hell yeah. Also 03 tahoes are slept on haha
@@machinesinc Slept on?
@@markparr7224 not given credit for how good they are
That's a great van I had a 1968 model with a 307 and 3 speed column shift
