Dumb question, how does that not catch on fire? One more question, how is that strong enough to prevent the tubes from moving during weld shrinkage??? I'd love to make a jig out of wood, but idk if i can trust it? Advice?
All the Jig is for is to hold things in place to tack them together. When I final weld it I take it out of the Jig. It will still warp, even if the jig was metal. I usually need to put it in a press when done to push the ends back out so it fits in the frame tabs.
That's a good idea! I was going to make some jigs with steel plates. I like that though so I don't have a bunch of steel plated jigs lying around and I can easily move the mounting points lol.
@@DougBugBuilder awesome ty for the response, I haven't been able to find what people are using online I think I've been looking in all the wrong places. I like your videos! You explain stuff very well and help my understanding of suspension quite a bit!
@@marvinightmetalworks258 Yeah, when I started this build specific info was hard to come by. That's why in my videos I try to give a certain amount of detail for others. Good luck with your build.
Thank you friend for sharing your information and advice
Love the way you simplify everything. It's like learning another language, thanks again!!
Put on your resume you know another language. lol Thanks for the comment.
Definitely an all time best. Love how you break it down.
Thanks buddy! Glad you liked the way I presented it. I typically don't narrate over time lapse but I wanted to give it a try.
Your videos are awesome man. Thanks for all the info!
Thanks Man, appreciate the support.
Ty for taking the time to explain all of this.
Glad you like it, hope it helps. Thanks for the comment.
Nice, jigs are essential for duplication of parts. Great job on showing how it’s done. Have a great New Years Buddy. BigW:-)
Thanks Big W, Happy New Years to you as well.

Good stuff dude, I hope the idea helps with some of your builds.
Good idea, in wood is more easy than assembly in metal.
Very smart. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comments!
Very helpful thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the comment.
cool idea.
Thanks buddy!
great channel man keep it up
Thanks buddy!
What kind of tube do I need to make control arm's thanks for your ifo.
These are 1 3/4" x .095" DOM. This Baja is a bit heavier than a normal VW Baja. My other Baja has 1 1/2" tube and they are just fine.
Excelent!
Thanks!
Where do you get the rubber joints and ball joints
I get all my hardware like that from KarTek Offroad. www.kartek.com/
what tube thickness is this?
This tube is 1.5" x .095" DOM

I never thought about making it out of wood
Ow man, it always takes me a minute to get past you name. lol Thanks for the comment!
@@DougBugBuilder Yeah lol
