The so many little tips that I’m going to start using in the garage! Keep the videos coming
@@Jeepinlee thanks for watching I sure will
Very glad I found your channel! Great content, The knowledge and personality is awesome!
@@loganmoran2793
Well, thank you very much. I hope you enjoy it. I will be doing quite a bit of stuff. Let me know if there’s something in particular you like to see. Thank you for watching.
the stack of round tubes all nested together is a great tip
@@welndmn thank you I think that was one of the first things I did back in the 90s when I was first fabricating
I don’t know if the masses will like it, but I love it. All the knowledge, the tips and tricks. As fast as you build things, I bet it kills you to slow down and video everything. You could make a compilation of all the times Shannon bitches about videoing or moving the camera, and use it as each videos outro.
@@neilkirkes lol I’m glad you like them. It’s not too bad moving the camera around probably the hardest part is when Jess has to edit them lol I got the easy part.
Glad you gave fab rats a shout out in your reason to be here video!!
Look forward to watching and learning some of your tricks 🤙
@ yes thank you
Glad I stumbled across your channel. Been a fan of yours since the ARCA/UROC days. Enjoyed the fabrication content.
Happy Thanksgiving.
@@CrawlinTJ50 thank you and thank you for watching. How did you stumble across it? Just curious.
It was a recommended video after one of the other off-road/fabrication channels I watch.
@ well thank you for watching. Have a lot more coming.
Great video with so many great tips/tricks or just showing how you do things with what you’ve got in hand!
I’m glad it’s helpful. Took me years to learn all this stuff and I still learned something new every day.
@ helpful for sure and constantly learning is the best.
@ thank you
I’m jealous of your shop, sweet set up!
@@ultra4suzukisamurai679 thank you very much forever to get my dream shop
I'm a big fan of yours I built my Jeep in a small shop by my house and it all started from following you and your kids build pictures on your website and Facebook. Keep up the great videos.
@@haroldshouse9124 thank you very much
Killer video. Always cool seeing stuff done by hand. You can tell you’ve been doing it a while!
@@435offroad thankyou & for watching
Love all the helpful tips in building and fabrication
@@kyridgejumper thank you I’m glad to help. Thanks for watching.
Great video, love the long form shop videos. As an aspiring fabricator and Offroad racer, I love learning the tips and tricks from seasoned fabricators and racers. I look forward to all of your videos 🤙🤙🤙
@@colingreenfield3993 thankyou
On end caps I find that a cap with a flange helps reduce cracking and leaks from sloshing. Like you have done. Obviously baffling also and foam helps also.
@@primalbeans yes all of them things help
nice video.. music in the background is fckn AWESOME! :) keep up the good work S.
@@romex66 thank you very much
Hey Shannon sometimes its a little easier to bend/break the middle bend last. I know the thickness of material makes a difference, either way I know the struggle. I appreciate your fabrication. I like the center punch tube idea!!
@@taterscustomfabs7946 thank you very much
Thanks for Sharing and "Happy Thanksgivin"
@@DJ-yp4kc you’re very welcome thanks for watching and happy Thanksgiving to you guys
@@DJ-yp4kc you’re welcome thanks for watching and happy Thanksgiving to you guys
Love the videos. Always learn something! Do you have any tips for grinding dust? Your shop is SOOOOOO clean I was surprised to see you grinding out in the open.
@@blasemelancon1326 I just clean up as I go. I am a clean freak. I’m not sure why, but it makes it nice for working when things are where they belong when I had my other Shop my kids, and my brother were part of it was one of the things I hated was always cleaning up after everyone I couldn’t even start a job until everything was worth it needed to becalled OCD
I did the entire perimeter of Mexico in those stow and go seats. Prolly the exact ones from that guy doing the conversions 😅. I love them for the road, and they’re narrow to fit the XJ, but man are they horrible off-road. Zero bolsters, with makes it nice to be able to open your shoulders blades on the road, but I slammed my head into the seat belt knob cuz there’s nothing keeping you in the seat 😢
@@owlclaw yes when you’re trying to save money, you don’t get the good stuff lol
I am enjoying your videos. Pure pleasure to watch you work. Amazing skill set. The background music was too much for my taste but to each his/her own. Maybe if it was not so repetitive.
@@brownfab2700 yes I used to play my radio, but they don’t like you to use music that’s copyrighted on TH-cam so I have to stick to whatever their platform is and I haven’t found anything worth using lol it is annoying
@@shannoncampbell_unleashed I did not think about the TH-cam restriction and understand the need for something. However, I am old enough to have been born with safety glass... Hum seems I heard that saying somewhere... but personally I had rather hear you explaining tricks of the trade, or listen to chit chat, the tools, grinders, welder etc. than I had the background music for lack of a better term for it. Just my 2 cents worth
@@brownfab2700 lol yeah the built-in goggles and helmet and yes, I will try to settle it out a little bit and yes, thank you for your info
@@brownfab2700 how did you come across my TH-cam was just curious how people find it unless they know
Love to hear your mig settings and wire diameter
@@kyridgejumper do you want to see it? Is that what you’re saying?
@@kyridgejumper my wire size that I use when working on vehicles like this is 030 and I believe my deal is on 18.6 and my wire speed varies from 140 to 165
Best video yet! Is that front axle a 44 or 60? I see the external hub that looks like a 44
@@squeakin3 it’s a 44 & thankyou I’m happy you liked it
Can you explain why leaf shackle mounts in frame side are so wide, does this help side to side flex?
@@azpest00 yes that’s exactly what it does. I used to build a lot of leaf spring buggies back in the day. This helped a lot with steering didn’t move the spring side side.
Can you buy a set of the “tube stacks” somewhere?
@@brianwise1333 I sell them for $100. You could just make them yourself. It’s just 120 wall tubing
Is that Donnie from the old spirits p ?
@@ChrisTieman-d1v Donny from 4wheeler supply what is spirits p
@shannoncampbell_unleashed spirits bar it use to be in Gilbert
@ I kind of thought that’s what you meant but wasn’t sure and no Donny doesn’t drink. He smokes a lot of weed though lol he’s been around a long time. He used to work at four wheeler supply in Phoenix. He actually even worked for me a little bit bit in the late 90s.
@shannoncampbell_unleashed ok he looks so familiar. I'm sure I saw him at 4 wheeler supply
