Breaking Cars at Swan Gully 4WD Park
in this video we are having some fun at swan gully 4wd park, Managed to blow the sidewall on 1 tyre, pop 1 off the bead, snap wheel studs and mangle the rim. And last but definitely not least, completely banana a steering arm in the worst part of the track. There is a lot of this trip not on camera but its an awesome place with some tracks for all skill levels, even some we had to go around due to not all cars having lockers and winches. highly recommend to do some nice rock crawling

Raptor Coating a BullBar
มุมมอง 4.4K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video we cover the prep and paint work of how i raptor coat bar work. I've opted for low pressure to spray it on very thick and rough. There is no one way to do this, you can achieve many outcomes that vary from compressor pressure, gun used and technique in which it is applied. The desired outcome in todays video was as aggressive as possible so we added Raptor Traction into our coat M...

Decided to cut out majority of Sebs vids because he would take this 30 minute video to well over 2 hours...... Someone needs lockers, and as always the videos do no justice to how steep some of ...

  • @mannyf.5097
    @mannyf.5097 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just to inform, you shouldn't preheat and use the spot welder at same time to avoid making holes then leading to corrosion and weakening metal.Thats the point of using a that machine to prevent making holes.

    How to don't use a dent puller kit

  • @teagan9184
    @teagan9184 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The slide hammer handle weight that you pull can be used to tighten the nut on the spot weld pin so you dont have to use a pair of pliers everytime. Just push the weight handle onto the nut and turn it!!

    How many of those 1L bottles did you end up using to paint it.

    • @smithys_automotive
      @smithys_automotive 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I used 2 but one would do it, just wanted to lay it on thick and painted a few other pieces of bar work off camera so one should be plenty.

  • @robcolbert194
    @robcolbert194 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video mate. The bar looks awesome. Great job on it. Just one question. Does the raptor coating have to go on that aggressive or can you adjust the ratio 👍

    • @smithys_automotive
      @smithys_automotive 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It can go on almost perfectly smooth if you have the adjustable gun they sell, for bar work I prefer to have it as rough as it can go. They antislip additive helps give it that rough grip look which is what we wanted
