MATT... SAFETY NOTE; incorporate/install some type of fire extinguishing system INSIDE the engine bay since now you won’t be able to “quickly” open the hood to get to a fire if need be.
Matt, you ought to have the welder install some hydraulic assist rods to aid in opening the hood cage. That's going to be a lot of weight to pull up without them.
Not part of a the technical exoskeleton but skid plates would be a must imo. Given the size of this thing, you are going over a ton of obstacles and protecting the boxes on the side as well as stuff like driveshaft and transmission should be taken into account. A skid plate from the front bumper would be nice as well to help move stuff under the truck
A lot of these trucks have huge skid plates already I wouldn’t be surprised if this one does aswell unless the guy that converted it to a single rear axle messed with it
Yes you will be amazed at everything under my car that I busted a hole in just by running over a stop sign. Someone was driving in the wrong lane and I tried to get over as far as I could. The stop sign did more damage that us actually hitting each other.
You can't forget the 50mm machine gun on top with two not so compact grenade launchers and spikes all over the rims and dark green underglow with two jet engines on the back to boost it out of any sticky situation if needed with a gun locker full of ar's in the back incase of an emergency attack against the demolotia and family. Oh, did I mention, a remote start for when ta cold outside... The chances of matt seeing this are low but can we make it a little bit higher? Thanks y'all.
Agreed. Also, the frames above and around the doors....you dont want a tight fit to the profile of the opening. If they get tweaked it becomes a 5T coffin in an emergency
When raising the cage while servicing the truck, let the cage go just past the gravity point, and use chains to hold it off the ground, same as the hoods of all big trucks.
Modern trucks have hydraulic cylinders, but same principle. Except they also assist lifting and a controlled close, also have a auto lock so it doesn't get slammed on your head from the wind while you check the oil. If it wasn't such a pain I'd put them on my 1999 Freightliner lol
They are putting a new engine from Texas Speed in Matt’s El Camino aka the el CROmino. If you follow them on Instagram Cleetus posted them with an engine in the back of their rental leaving Texas Speed and then also them installing it.
@@drillbittreed10 isn’t it? 😂 but honestly if it were mine I would put some 60” on all four sides or roof and some off front bumper somewhere. Never know what kinda night time shenanigans he will get into.
Been a journeyman welder/fabricator for a while now and done quite a few custom one off projects and having built lots of oilfield equipment (flush by’s coil tubing units, garbage trucks, concrete batch plants, the list goes on) when you roll a heavy disproportionate truck the main issue is bent frames which causes bad dog legging which is near impossible to straighten. Also if you have use a keyed square slot at the pivot point of the front cage you can make a leverage arm bar to open the cage with a 4:1ish mechanical advantage. Also don’t use bolts for the window screen go get a couple snap latches and make the pipes bottom out point the plate behind. No more room but lots of tips so hmu!!!
I’d like to see some identification lights on a piece of flat stock between the roll bar and the windshield guard. Apart from it being mandated for vehicles 7 foot wide I’d think it would look cool to see.
Matt should look at how the windscreen protection on a Snatch Land Rover is held in place, same style of windscreen guard just designed for stopping bricks in Belfast instead of trees in Texas
Totally Awesome! Can you imagine how proud Brandon's first welding teacher is every time he sees him in a video? Great being a teacher to see your former kids really achieve.
I think you should put multiple D rings on the front and rear bumpers (if the rear bumper is strong enough) and a winch in the rear. And don't forget to carry snatch blocks. A toolbox just for that kind of equipment is super useful and you have to worry about forgetting rigging equipment and such.
Weld the nuts onto those pipe flanges. That way you can never lose the nuts, and if you need to open the hood in the field, you only need 1 wrench instead of 2. Also might want to put a threaded drain plug on the lowest points of each pipe run. That way you can drain any water that eventually makes its way in from rain.
Steel mesh window covering.3/8in to 1/2in bars welded in a lattice pattern to protect windows from branches and larger debris. Do the same with thinner bar over the headlights. A rear winch-plate and light bars, front and rear.
They should weld the nuts on the backside of the stationary flange so when you do have to unbolt all 16 bolts to get the hood open, you only need one tool.
Don't you mean weld the nut? Although a good idea in theory, if the bolt head becomes rounded as the bolt gets rusted and becomes problematic to unscrew, that puts him flat out of options
@@PaceWorks true, as long as the battery's good to go...you'd still be left with the prospect of drilling out the bolt from the centre of your nuts though
@@weedfreer Air chisel or grind them off. I’ve got that with factory bolts on my jeep in my frame. You cut the frame open and chisel of them off and weld the frame back up and put a 5/32 piece of metal over the path or not
@@Fatlax73 depends on what year, if your talking newer trucks absolutely, late 90s and early 2000s CAT is king of the hill. I've got a cat in my 99, friend has a Cummins in his 2001, running the same load with identical trailers at the same time I outpulled on the hills and got better fuel economy. Both factory tuned, mine at 475hp his 500. Obviously my sample size is small, but his was checked out by the dealer and was supposedly in tip top shape so there was nothing wrong with it at the time. At least not obvious. That truck of his now sits behind his grandfathers barn and he drives a 2005 with a CAT that he got for a steal from a small local carrier with 250k on a platinum overhaul.
Bump stop and maybe shocks for the hood gaurd when opening the hood, all the weighy is gonna stress the bull nose over time, bump stop will help absorb the impact and the shocks will actually help in pivoting the gaurd as well as absorbing the impact as well
Anyone else feel like Matt is getting ready for the zombie apocalypse and these videos are how he's trying too warn all of us. Matt really does love his fans.
i like how you stick to brandon's welding team. them reading comments for improvements for your truck is also a learning opportunity for them. thumbs up
I realize that you have already wielded those flanges, but look into the system they use for pinning together truss for concerts. That stuff can handle massive amounts of weight and is much quicker release than 16 bolts...
Only thing is that truss connectors aren’t really meant to come apart under pivoting stress without shearing the truss it self apart, they are meant to come apart horizontally but the idea of hammering a pin through two or more elements appeals to me even more since it’s almost a year since I did my last gig as stagehand on a concert
Too much shearing force. That whole thing is going to be torquing around in various directions, and the standard pin/r-clip you see with 12" and even 18" truss simply won't end up cutting it. Plus, they are talking about making aspects out of that with schedule 40, so right off the bat the whole system is going to weigh a ton more than your standard lighting truss. Look at the big stuff they use for arena tours, especially power distro truss; that stuff is all 5/8" bolts. Source: am stage hand
It's crazy to see how many different content creators you guys represent that I've watched for many years and would of never thought of seeing you two together that is awesome
This country would be in for a real treat if every young person were like these two fine young men you have graciously seemingly took under your wings in a sense.
For your tipping point you could do like peterbilts do. Run a steel braided cable from one point to the cage so the line maxes out at your max angle. Helps keep it from just free falling.
Matt... If you put a roller on the bullnose then you can easily use the winch to move the cage and the hood. You also could have used quick disconnect bolts on the cage flanges to make it easier to get into.
You should put Guards that extend down to prevent puncture or damage to the balance of the front tires, especially if you plan on ramming stuff. Basically some tire brush guards since they are so exposed when it’s up so high.
You need to put standoff guards on the exhaust heat shielding for when you have passengers in the bed for parades etc like you mentioned you planned on doing, otherwise some kids are gonna get burned
Possibly, but diesel exhaust, especially though pipe that large, is typically not as hot as a gas engine. Unless it has a DPF system... which that does not.
@@zachcollins4442 in an open system yes, but he also has flappers which contribute to the overall heat retention, better safe than sorry when it comes to that sort of thing and kids

@@oif3vetk9 I was thinking about that too yes, always knowing it’ll start when needed is very important. Also other handy uses for it when camping etc but that was also the main selling point.
You should put some shocks for the hood and exoskeleton to be used as automatic lifts Put a light bar underneath the hood for repairs and looks at night!!!
Don’t forget GVW with all the extra metal .....also if it’s registered to a company ie. Demo ranch ect. You may legally need D.O.T numbers as technically it’s a commercial vehicle.
Armored plating to protect engine bay in wheel well. Just make sure you keep plenty of airflow to the engine bay. Also skid plating under neath to protect vital areas.
Should redo your storage apartments with thicker metal and implement nice stairs to get up Edit: also make an hatch for the top so you can shoot your .50 cal
A few of us mentioned it in the first vid you talked about a pump and tank on Chief, but now that you’re looking for another truck... don’t forget to check out QTac Fire! They do some awesome skids for trucks and side by sides, but they can even do full on fire trucks!
Pro tip about the fire suits: to have them ready-to-go, put the pants already over the boots (all the way down so you can grab it by the boot openings), so you can just slip in the boots, pull the shoulder straps of the pants up, and run. Also, practice putting on gear regularly...
Armored doors and dual extended fuel tanks on each side of the truck. Oh, and an olive drab rhino lining paint job and a Demo Ranch logo on the hood's side armor. Maybe with some painted bullet holes and scorch marks.
Intergrate a lader into the b pillar and put some side tie down rails on the roof. Put some sheet up there to take the sun off of the roof to make cooler inside the cab. And would make a pretty cool shooting platform.

Oh my God who else though Matt just SMACKED Demo??😂that timing
Hahahahaha
Get a cordless impact for the 16 bolts
with all those bolts to get at the engine id be installing a retractable hose and air compressor 👍
A few of us mentioned it in the first vid you talked about a pump and tank on Chief, but now that you’re looking for another truck... don’t forget to check out QTac Fire! They do some awesome skids for trucks and side by sides, but they can even do full on fire trucks!
Matt: 'It's too tall to roll over.'
Outro: Shows big tall monster truck rolling over onto roof.
yeah that's because it's a monster truck lol. The tires are over 5 feet tall... which makes them incredibly top heavy. Nothing like the 5 ton
Weird, almost like they're 2 different vehicles.
Matt, how about a banner of your brother Mark on the wall. You could design your own. A cool way to keep his memory alive.
Pro tip about the fire suits: to have them ready-to-go, put the pants already over the boots (all the way down so you can grab it by the boot openings), so you can just slip in the boots, pull the shoulder straps of the pants up, and run.
Also, practice putting on gear regularly...
"It's so top-heavy" Let's dirty bulk the truck! No, but really. Give her a wider stance! Make it THICCC!! Just something to think about.
Give it duals in the back...because
If u dont have one u should put an inner roll/fall cage
Armored doors and dual extended fuel tanks on each side of the truck.
Oh, and an olive drab rhino lining paint job and a Demo Ranch logo on the hood's side armor. Maybe with some painted bullet holes and scorch marks.
Tell him he needs to weld flag holders on.
A Biden flag would look nice on it true
@@illest_centaur_ever1387 Nah, Demolitia flags would look much better.
Needs skid plates to protect fuel tanks/lines underneath in case you want to run over shit.
Matt levers and pullies put a pully wheel on the bull nose and a hook point so you can rap the winch around to open the exoskeleton
Is no one going to talk about how heavy Matt’s breathing is.
Maybe he has covid.
Our cedar and other pollens are really high lately! Hope that’s all it is!
Bulking is doing its work haha
Just noticed
Videos will never be the same
@@ultimatemeepo oh yeah could definitely be that!! 😬
Matt: What am I missing?
Me: A 50 Cal turret on the passenger side obviously!
Passenger side??
Nah you need one on the roof and one on each sides
Intergrate a lader into the b pillar and put some side tie down rails on the roof. Put some sheet up there to take the sun off of the roof to make cooler inside the cab. And would make a pretty cool shooting platform.
You know that Bunker Warehouse has a ceiling
How long before a fire marshal sees it
It’s a total fire hazard
