@@MurCurieux of course Tom Tom knows how to use a tape measure and that is why Matts spud truck is doomed because Tom Tom isn't there to measure things. LOL
@kevchard5214 the morvair and banana does pretty well and will out do anything u own🤷🏽 and they was done without tom tom🤔.... I think tom spent his time at morr to learn not the other way round
We were visiting our house in Kanab and went to pick up supplies in Hurricane. I saw your wife in WalMart but didn't want to bother her. Will have to see you next year when we retire into Kanab. Keep up the great content.
Fueling up Tom Tom. That’s what I used as a trucker. That was a cool articulated arm on that work table. Would be handy to have. Like always awesome video and great info.
Just make some jack/lift pads that get welded to the frame. I never understood why more offroaders/racers dont do this. Put dedicated spots on all 4 corners so there is someplace to lift, whether your on the trail, in the shop, or at the track.
Nukular Rocket Surgeon builds Dakar Racing rig! I love TomTom's attention to detail and the precision he works at with that somewhat limited shop equipment. Hope you were able to get some good jack stands, so the build can proceed.
I am from South Africa and went past Idaho on the way to Yellowstone...what a beautiful part of America. Your trips to Idaho make it even more enticing!
Per google: Metal cored wire is a tubular wire filled with metallic powders, alloys, and arc stabilizers. Using it offers higher duty cycles, faster travel speeds, low fumes, and improved cost-effectiveness. For those who wanted to know 😊
Awesome progress Tom Tom!!! A little bit accomplished every day will definitely be great at the end for sure!!! I definitely can’t wait to see more progress to come!!!
Pretty cool I can finish watching MORR's new upload and moments later get notified Tom's video is up! Watching you guys helps me get motivated to go do work. Your positive attitude is contagious! In the early 2000's for motivation, I used to watch shows like "HorspowerTV" with legendary host Joe Elmore, whom recently passed away. These types of shows, and their host, become special to their audience. Good job on the channel, TomTom 🦃
Maverick photo (video) bomb incoming! 😃 I had a big, black cat who was the sweetest and always had to be the center of attention... she passed away about a year ago. I still miss her!
Really enjoying your videos. The build is so well thought out and explained. also really appreciate you including a bit of your family and Idaho. Thank You - Tim
Tom glad to see you’re doing great you’ve come a long ways you’re a good man we need tons more people like you and your family stay safe and God bless 💯✊🇺🇸😎
Looking good Tom Tom! Thanks for the moments with Maverick. Always good to see the shop kitty! I’m really enjoying this series and your process. Thank you for sharing. :)
Tom...I'm an old Woodworker and I was using inches but now I have gone over to mm. No more fractions just whole numbers. Easy to find center, easy to divide or multiply. I was stubborn to use it but it is Sooooo much easier.
Tom- It's refreshing to see precision and accuracy! While I am ok with the Old "close enough" (Matt) and "eyecrometer" (Paul), I appreciate Tom using his engineering background, methodology, skills, and tools to get things completed as perfect as possible!! Some of us struggle with that thing they call "OCD" and if you do, you might as well use it to your advantage to do things right to obtain as close to perfect results as possible!! Nothing against just slapping stuff together if that satisfies a person and works. I just prefer to do things right the first time as it not only saves time in the long run, but it's far more satisfying and usually produces much better looking, longer lasting, higher performing results!!! Don't get me wrong, duct tape and bailing wire have their time and place, but probably shouldn't be considered the "final fix it product"! Lol! Thanks Tom for your process and attention to detail!!
Tom, I love what you're doing! I can't wait to see Dig Dug on the trail. Please make sure you show us some amazing off road driving when it's all done! Living vicariously through you all from the very flat Midwest!
I'd love to hear the back story!! I've owned my 1929 Ford AA (degreaded to 1 ton) dualy hotrod/street rod for over 54 years, and know back stories are always interesting too others.
Loved Colecovision! Mainly because it was essentially the only gaming system I ever had. Had an early "pong" style deal from somewhere that was pretty cool at the time (VERY early 80s), but never owned a Nintendo, Sega, Atari...nothing! My favorites were Turbo with the gas pedal and steering wheel and then a Football game where you had to spin a spinner thing to throw the long bombs! Just seriously dated myself...
Thanks for the videos Tom! You promised to show us how you organize your scraps. It's something that I struggle with and I'm really interested to see if your method might help. Keep up the good work!
Tom, if that old IH has the 9 Litre, I would avoid it. They make a noise that causes hearing loss and permanent ringing in the ears. They're not unusually loud for that era but the sound pressures are unique and very strong.
great video Tom, nice to see some progress being made on Dig Dug, your neighbour is top drawer, if only all neighbours were as cool as him, nice to see you getting some time with the family too, thanks for sharing
Hi Tom Tom. I would like to hear the backstory on Dig Dug. It's obviously a square body Chevy, '78 or '79, I'm guessing but there is probably a lot more to it than that.
Really moving along. Family time is the best. Spent several days with extended family right before the 4th. Don't know if you bought one of those trucks. If not I know where one is in Montana with a 427, 5spd with 4spd auxiliary and PTO.
I am enjoying watching your 4-link set upon Dig Dug. Just finishing mine up on my '74 Bronco, shorter travel (and no trailing arms). The Square tubing is looking sharp, with tapered ends as well!
I used to be a Technician for a Chuck E. Cheese in the 80's and Dig Dug was one of my favorites too. You need to get Robby to do a Dig Dug theme when your ready for paint.
Just watched the Idaho fun, brings back memories. I would love to see you explore the St Anthony sand dunes, Red road, Civil defense cave, County line lava tubes , Pine Butte lava depressions with all the trees in the bottom of the drops. and for kicks the radar dome on Sawtell, warm river spring head, big springs etc. Sorry just reminiscing. Love your outlook on how to live a life.
Old friend of mine has a thing called a bumper jack, and it worked great holding doors up and everything like that and even holding up the rear of a vehicle if you needed to remove the axle.
Wish this man the best. I would love to hear a technical explanation of placing the spring loads into the suspension arms. I'm sure there is a good reason, but that is an incredible amount of bending force on the shanks of those heims.
When you put your plate on mount it to a solid sheet steel plate about 1/4” larger all around. That can mount on a spring loaded hinge and that to the truck. So if it’s hanging down and dragging on a rock it will swing out of the way and is reinforced with the sheet steel so it doesn’t get damaged.

Just finished watching Matt and I really needed to see someone using a tape measure. So now I am here. LOL
Hey, he did use one… once
Measure 6 times cut once

Seeing a video about the backstory of Dig Dug would be great!
Always good to see Tom Tom on Sunday morning

Welcome to the area. Angela is pretty chatty. She’d love to talk to you.
i wish you were my neighbor.... youre a modern day mr. rogers; and no higher praise could any real man receive.
Can't wait for Matt's spring cups to show up on dig dug...
😂😂😂
LoL 😂😅
Let's hear the back story on Dig Doug.
Peyton is a great addition to your channel Tom he’s a cool dude
Outstanding fabrication! Baja tough!
I really enjoy how you take things in stride. Mess up fix up. I also think that those shocks are gonna look sweet.
Fueling up Tom Tom. That’s what I used as a trucker.
That was a cool articulated arm on that work table. Would be handy to have.
Like always awesome video and great info.
Peyton is a good add to the videos.

This is a great suggestion! I don’t want to learn that our favorite Tom Tom has been damaged in any way😩
@@DavidLorenTosh Or Matt or Paul or Rory or...
*you’re (you are) 🙄
Tom, Dig Dug is coming right along. Enjoying the build 👍🇺🇸
On my C10 I use the front cab mounts brackets and rear spring mounts .works fine for me
Fueling up always works for me and my ecodiesel!!! But that's just a tomehto tomahto thing to me!!! Great video, Tom!!!

Have to agree - really enjoying this build series!!! Thanks Tom - appreciate all the effort going into this.
That shop tour was super cool! Thanks to those guys!
Super nice work!
Everyone needs a Peyton. Good neighbors.
Love the painter's tape for layout! Two suggestions: get a magnet for your plumb bob, and use Whiteout correction pens for marking the steel.
Coming along nicely! I would love to here the back story on Dig Dug
Fueling up is what diesel guys say Thomas

Laying some dimes, beautiful welds.
TomTom be da MAN !! Nice chap, skilled at doing what he loves.
I love the way you explain your processes.
Excited for this , very happy for you Tom Tom
Maverick photo (video) bomb incoming! 😃
I had a big, black cat who was the sweetest and always had to be the center of attention... she passed away about a year ago. I still miss her!
i would love to hear the story of dig dug from the beginning! great project with nice quality.
Good morning happy Sunday- you're always a part of my Sunday morning videos 😀😀😀
Thanks for taking us on a field trip tom

Nice video!
Thanks for sharing!

I was amazed that it was all gorls working at the shop. Way to go ladys keep up the good work. Thank you Tom Tom for taking us threw the shop

These videos are peaceful and informative for me.

Fueling up is a better saying
Wish I could have seen you! I work right next door to that rock crawling gym! Good to see your dig dug project coming along!

Drivers side back window for the dig dug plate keep up the great work Tom
Bob would be plum proud...😁
Back in the early 80's Dig dug was one of my favorite Colecovision games. Zaxxon was first fav. Qbert then dig dug. 😆

i always love hearing the back story
This build is so sick. I love it.
I bet you Tom’s rig is the most precise rig on the planet
It’s 11% more precise, to be precise.
Thanks for the videos Tom! You promised to show us how you organize your scraps. It's something that I struggle with and I'm really interested to see if your method might help. Keep up the good work!
Great add in for the family trip. The explanations behind what you are doing are great. Like Mr Wizard Fabrication!!!
Tom, if that old IH has the 9 Litre, I would avoid it. They make a noise that causes hearing loss and permanent ringing in the ears. They're not unusually loud for that era but the sound pressures are unique and very strong.
I just bought these for my rotopax last month. Really slick stuff.
great video Tom, nice to see some progress being made on Dig Dug, your neighbour is top drawer, if only all neighbours were as cool as him, nice to see you getting some time with the family too, thanks for sharing
Yay Maverick! Yes to the back story on Dig Dug.
Waiting for a Dig Dug story 😊
I'm wating too!!!🤷♂️
Great video - thanks Tom - love the channel
Hi Tom Tom. I would like to hear the backstory on Dig Dug. It's obviously a square body Chevy, '78 or '79, I'm guessing but there is probably a lot more to it than that.
Tom, I am loving your channel. Hated it when you left Matt’s, but not anymore.
23:00 tom tom making the best shanks in county lockup 😂
Very fun video to watch. Thnx Tom Tom
Peyton thamks for helping Tom Tom out. Hopefully when TomTom's Channel grows bigger he can hire you to help him out
I love that Tom went solo
Nah, he's married
Really moving along.
Family time is the best. Spent several days with extended family right before the 4th.
Don't know if you bought one of those trucks. If not I know where one is in Montana with a 427, 5spd with 4spd auxiliary and PTO.
Hey I resemble that remark lol old man sounds not there but feel it
A person would be lucky to get something Tom built Atleast you would know for sure it’s done right.
Coming along nicely!
Fuel up
Tom Tom = engineering brains + fabrication skills.
I am enjoying watching your 4-link set upon Dig Dug. Just finishing mine up on my '74 Bronco, shorter travel (and no trailing arms). The Square tubing is looking sharp, with tapered ends as well!
Tom, you are lucky to have a strong neighbor like Peyton who just shows up at critical times!

A history of Dig Doug would be nice.
Looks awesome!
Agreed, played that game back in the day on my Vic20 along with another great, Defender!
Thanks for the name explanation
I Love seeing somebody help you in the shop just in case something goes wrong.
Hiya Maverick......
So much to watch. Thanks!
Just watched the Idaho fun, brings back memories. I would love to see you explore the St Anthony sand dunes, Red road, Civil defense cave, County line lava tubes , Pine Butte lava depressions with all the trees in the bottom of the drops. and for kicks the radar dome on Sawtell, warm river spring head, big springs etc.

Absolutely love watching this channel, straight to the builds clear explanation. Great with coffee
Pretty fun project I totally wish that I knew how to build suspensions from the ground up like this. Very interesting. Keep it up man !
Wish this man the best.
I would love to hear a technical explanation of placing the spring loads into the suspension arms. I'm sure there is a good reason, but that is an incredible amount of bending force on the shanks of those heims.
I wasn’t sad when you left the other channel, I know you would be delivering some epic builds based on your background.. 😎
Thanks TT, American made Europe Origin... Awesome Build Diggi´n it!
SpecTACULAR welding there buddy !
Good call extending the wheelbase.
Great job guys. Thank you 😊
A+ for good tool use! Way to go Tom Tom!

You’re never wrong in the eyes of the perfect people online if you say fueling up.
When you put your plate on mount it to a solid sheet steel plate about 1/4” larger all around. That can mount on a spring loaded hinge and that to the truck. So if it’s hanging down and dragging on a rock it will swing out of the way and is reinforced with the sheet steel so it doesn’t get damaged.
