The shop videos are what I always liked most from Matt's Off-road. Glad to see you doing your own thing.
Exactly 💯
Tom goes about things the right way although braille sometimes works too
Happy to see this
Get rrr dunn Tom Tom
Sema quality rig no weld protection on anything? Love the work either way
agreed - happy to watch tom doing what he does best, the fabricating of the power steering bracket especially was such a difference from how matt does it - not that one is right and another wrong, i just appreciate tom's attention to detail (ok maybe its overkill but it's how i roll). keep it up tom, you're the man
I agree, I like the in the shop videos best!!
Only at Mat it turned into a clownery
UPS overnight came through in 4 days! Love your sense of humour.
The owner's trust in you Tom to work on his SEMA Jeep is a testament to your precision and work ethic!
I’d trust Tom Tom to upgrade anything on my vehicle
If I had the money I'd commission Tom to turn an old 50's convertible into a rock-crawler.
Sort of like the Morvair but for fun instead of recovery.
100% agree.
The lug nut method to install studs is perfectly fine as long as you dont damage threads, the studs are pre stretched from the factory. Just dont exceed the torque of the lug nuts.

@@patrickgreen2361 Tom Tom has a bright future if he can avoid entangling alliances with back stabbing rivals.
You know it’s gonna be a killer Tom Tom build when the white board comes out.
Yeah, someone will most likely die after he touches a car.😂😂😂
"Validated not just for me but for hoarders everywhere" thanks i needed that
And me.... 😊
Mate, I gotta admit I miss you at MORR and the banter with you and Matt… But, I’m loving this channel and it was a natural step to head out alone. You’ve nailed it. Have watched all the episodes and will stick with you.
This Jeep is awesome! Keep up the great work, mate.
Greetings from Tasmania, Australia
We got to admit that there's everything to love about Tom Tom. He's smart, confident, knowledgeable and a very result oriented. I can't wait to see his channel hit 500k subs or even a million subscribers before the year ends. Keep grinding sir. Africa No.1 fan here. ✌️✌️🇰🇪🇰🇪
My dad was a farmer and later a machinist. He used calipers and micrometers like you. Even though he was not trained as an engineer, he had that mindset and process practice. He was also safety conscious. I love watching you work as it reminds me of my dad, which is the highest compliment I can give!
When overnight takes 4 days you know you live somewhere that’s pretty nice.
Tom get yourself a cheap hot gun when your trying to figure out that pump mount hot gun the cardboard directly to the pump trim it to fit mount location and you got a template and its only hot glue it will come right off
You just proved that the last 10% of most jobs takes 90% of your time & effort.
Your mastery of fabrication shows in your approach and execution of tasks.
Thanks for sharing.
Hoarders Unite! My wife complains about the "junk" but I know I'll need that little thingamajig on the right side of the third shelf from the top some day. Besides, it's all fairly well organized and neat to a certain extent (if you don't look directly at it).😁
Craftsman have parts.. for everything.. nothing else..
Tom Tom, you need some posters or something on your garage walls! Always feels like you're working in somebody's apartment, those naked walls need some love!
near end of vid edit - Hell yeah, finally getting some wall decorations! 👍🏼
Thanks, there should be more going up soon.
@@tomtomsshop Maybe start getting viewers from around the globe to send you license plates from their countries? I’ll happily send you one from my home state Tasmania, Australia. You’ve got HEAPS of space to fill!
My favorite part of this video was when you made something out of nothing for the steering! Great time watching you guys!
22:00 the washer!
Whoever is doing the sound mixing for these videos is operating on a whole different level than most youtubers, outstanding job. The end of the last video and the bell sound in this one, my mans putting in work.
I think that bell sound is Tom tapping the pully with the wrench. I could be wrong.
@@user-jx5eq8nv9g you're right, it is.
It's his microphone and the shop...notice the acoustics of the shop and no unnecessary notice from air compressor and other equipment plus tom is there by himself....!!!!
@@user-jx5eq8nv9g Yes you are correct about the bell sound, but I think there is intention to keeping it in the edit. Go back and look at the last video as well at the end where the music fades out and the compressor noise is there, its art with an understanding of science imo.
You sir, are definitely not an audio technician.
A few things you could maybe do in the future. When welding close to something like that little U-joint, wrap a wet rag around it, helps keeps some heat off the joint. Also when pouting with a gallon jug, turn it flat, it helps keep it from surge splashing. Also, a funnel is your friend!
Wondering why it doesn't have a "Z" bar type drag link to make the link more parallel?
If that Jeep had any death wobble, it's now gone. The steering assist kinda acts like a Steering dampener on steroids! And yes, really helps to turn the Jeep in tough places.
…overnighted…in 4 days! 😂Nothing better than spending Sundays in Tom Tom’s Shop…👊
It took me years to realize that hoarding is not actually a good thing. My hoarders stash is an airplane hangar full of engines, transmissions steering gear springs heads mechanical treasures and nonsence. What I have found is the stash worries my kids because when I tip; over they have to figure out why I saved all this junk! That is gives me a laugh, My pile is now priceless as everything I have will cause them to wonder how long I was crazy! That pile of parts you chopped up to make a throw away temporary fixjust equaled several hours of work that probably frustrated you because of it's temporary nature. Dissatisfied you because you knew the correct way was the best way. I have learned that anything that does not fit your standards is not worth doing in the first place. Not one part of a job finished is worth risking injury or damage while being used, but you know that! Great content keep it up.
"Does that look level?"
OMG. Of all the things I expected you to bust a laser level out for...
Between you and Colt, I think you guys are the best at explaining and installing parts. I will probably never do almost anything that you guys are doing, but it's fun to learn and watch.
Really enjoy the struggles like the rest of us. Then adapting and making it work.
This Wagoneer is amazing! I have a 77 Jeep J20 Pickup that needs a lot of work. I wish I could have mine built out like this.😁 Truly beautiful!
Safety glasses in use…. Imagine that. Enjoying the content.
Been waiting for your video all week. Thanks Tom Tom
Who else was tensing up with Tom when he was pushing the lines down on the brass.
Great job Tom Tom!😂
I’m amazed at how much you manage to get done without a second set of hands.
Got it, Angela is your second set of hands.
Your welder needs to lay off the beans!😂
Love your channel Tom. Keep it up.
Tom is the kind of neighbor I would like to have.
I love the old Wagoneers. My dad had a 1988 Grand Wagoneer. It was a big beautiful burgundy beast with the ‘wood’ paneling on the sides and all the chrome. And even stock it was very capable when the pavement ended. It turned heads before the SUV invasion of the suburbs took hold.
Camera person doing excellent work. Who is it?
that jeep is sweet!!!!
Need some equipment sponsors. Great job
Man am I jealous of how easy that rotor came off.
Sincerely an angry New Englander
pb&j is nostalgia and hits the mark every time
Solid line up in my sub list today. I’m watching you first . Love the clean edits .
Love You Tom and Your Channel Brother ❤️
God Bless You & Your Family My Friend 🙏
Thanks Angela
Wish I lived closer.
I like you to do some upgrades for me.
It’s fine to use a nut and some washers to put in a lug nut stud as long as you’re careful. I’ve seen and done hundreds of them that way when the situation called for it. I enjoy TomTom’s dedication to being thorough and doing things the proper way, but sometimes you can get a little too carried away with doing things proper and end up never getting anything done. Sometimes a shortcut is absolutely ok or even necessary to avoid causing more issues or taking up way too much time. It’s a fine line and a balancing act to learn when and where to do things 100% by the book and when things can be done the easier and shorter way
I always ran the studs in with a lug nut, never knew there was another way.
Tommy Tom Tom ❤
Hey Tom, just a suggestion, when you build all those brackets round off the sharp c I rners and cut edges. Your hands and fingers will appreciate not having all those sharp edges when you are working in tight spaces plus it just looks more professional.
I thought it was pretty obvious that he was softening all the sharp edges and corners with the little air grinder.
He was deburring the edges and removing any ragged bits but I am talking about rounding over any corners that did not need to remain at 90 degrees. A good example would be the reservoir mount he built. The piece of angle coming out from the fender that the tank fastened too had a one end that stuck out into the engine bay that was a sharp 90 deg. and looked like it was perfect for snagging your arm or hand any time you had to work on any part below it. I have ripped myself up too many times trying to work around stuff like that to want to see it happen to anyone else.
its a good day when a tom tom video comes out.
Good morning from New Zealand TOM TOM
Hoarders of the world rejoice! 😎
Tom Tom, Mr fabricator. Looks great
Great job TomTom 👏 👍. Keep up your great work and videos 👏.
Like what I'm seeing TomTom keep up the good work will enjoy seeing what you come up with digdug first lol God bless
Tom Tom you're amazing team PB&J👍👊
A few items to address:
Hoarding - having an axle for 15 years, then using it on a project from the guy that you bought it from!
Trimming the claws on Matt's hammer - it was in one of Tom Tom's first videos.
Installing lug bolts - we always pulled them in with a washer and lug nut, but we used a torque wrench.
I like that Tom Tom's approach to every job is as if it were going to SEMA. Even fixing yard equipment for a neighbor.
Great channel! Thank you!
I love that Jeep!
Dude...they're over there messing with your Spud Truck over at Matt's.
Looking good!
ahhhh, Tom Tom running a drill without his safety glasses! Busted! LOL😉
Tom Tom when I find my dream vehicle to turn into the ultimate off road rig I’m bring it to you for the build!
The crusty ends of the loaf of bread were always my favorites for a PB&J!
"Hoarder validation!" THANK YOU for that. 👍
You are a wizard TomTom!!
Two words, Tom: safety glasses (9:37)
Tom Tom you the man!
I watch many videos covering a number of interests on weekends and this one is the best I've seen.
man that wagoneer was an EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER, glad we had a happy ending
Love your channel. Really cool how you explained your departure from MORR. Thumbs up to your wife's help on the channel! Love Matt's channel also. You guys are good entertainment and teachers!!! Thanks so much
Tom you’re quickly becoming one of my favorite channels… Keep up the great work
Another excellent and entertaining video. Thanks, Tom (and Mrs.). Side note: It may be time for a little shop organization before it becomes a safety hazard for you...
I don't know who does your editing but I appreciate the flow of your videos! Nice work & Thank you for sharing
Another good one Tom
Tom Tom, It's not nuclear physics!! Use an impact to seat that stud.... It will be 11% better!! Cool project. Safe Travels.
You're doing a very good job of editing. I find that anything over 40 mins is too long and I skip by some. BTW, my father had a Jeep Wagoneer, I don't remember what year it was, but it was the last year they used regular gas (not unleaded). It had a 440 engine.
NICE!
Awesome vid Tom keep them coming !!!!!
I love watching your precision, combined with a make it work attitude. I love watching Matt build, but he kinda makes me think of a hillbilly building a windmill to make electricity for his tv. You're more like the nuclear engineer building a power plant.... Oh wait....
Another top notch episode!
Get the 🇺🇸 on the wall!! 🇺🇸
Niice Job....Tom-Tom
Keep up the good work, love it! 👍
The Professor doing his thing…
From nuclear engineer to gearhead fabricator, Tom's a perpetual motion machine of learning and problem solving.
Also very good job whoever's on the camera (wife, Jenny?).
that's good when a vehicle sounds like a singing bowl
Quality work as always.
Good job Tom. I’m enjoying the content.
Love this channel! Your ingenuity and attention to detail works for me. I’m not that intelligent but I am a one person show so watching you come up with how to solutions is very helpful.
Thanks Tom Tom.
Great work Tom Tom
One of the best things you’ve ever made.
Skills and patience
good thing tom is a qualified engineer cause he just engineered the crap out of this buld
"Does that look level?" What?? As a fellow engineer, I can't believe you didn't put a level on that banner to make sure instead of just eyeballing it! 😂
Not sure who is helping with the camera work but they are doing an excellent job! Editing is top notch as well. Very enjoyable to watch! 👍👍
Subbed!! That front end needs some high steer
Another great video Tom Tom and your beautiful helper
Hey Tom Tom! You never would have had that steering u joint problem if you had used a proper claw hammer on the project from the start! Greetings from the north shore mountains of Vancouver British Columbia Canada!
We've all gotten spoiled by Amazon 2 day delivery. When something is late we begin to question our decisions 😂
Watching Tom do such precise work is so cool😊
Loving your channel Tom!
10:22 I remember from watching TV shows at my Grandmother's house (We had no TV whe was kid) .. the in America there is no differentiation between Jams and Jellies, you call them all Jelly! :)
In Canada Jam has bits of fruit in it even some whole pieces for smaller berries, Whereas Jelly is made with JUST the juice of fruits or berries, no bits and pieces in it.
Jelly is more rare, so usually when you have PB&J it's actually Jam :)
Wow! 164k subs! You must be proud TomTom!!!
Love your channel. Great content.
The inlmpact is the right way to install wheel studs. I've done hundreds successfully that way.
