Good to see others out shooting in 4k. I really does add to the viewer experience. Hope ya wore steel toed crocs for that install. Thanks for the update and for sharing. Been missing you two in my 4x4 show playlist.
Congrats on the lift it makes life so much easier.... Next time you plan on digging up the yard for whatever reason you should call Callbeforeyoudig or something similar in your area and they will come out and check your property along the proposed dig area and mark out any buried utilities for you for Free. Also before you cut into that Truss you should have an engineer look at it and draw up what needs to be reinforced and how to do it to avoid a possible collapse of the truss and roof, trusses can take some modification but if you cut the wrong piece of wood you are asking for trouble and that bottom chord of the truss is one of them. Keep up the great channel looking forward to more videos from you and the wife.
Very nice vid Ben and Cas. Congrats with the lift, I love it, however . . . Although it's already installed, you should really consider a base plate, H beams or dedicated concrete piers underneath the lift poles for 3 reasons. You don't know the concrete reinforcement directions, density and number of bars or netting. This is really important to know because we are talking about forces to reckon with. Don't rely on the construction drawings for this. As a designer I know that these drawings are seldom followed, people often start off professionally but along the way they often start to cut corners due to time- and money issues. Especially when the house is finished and there's less money left then anticipated to build that shed or barn (I've seen this happen many times) Always assume that the previous owners cut corners and/or were your typical "do it yourselvers". You can see this by the way they route the electric cables and water line without a protective casing/pipe. This tells me that it's not an unnecessary luxury to keep a sharp eye. Regarding the foor, the drawing maybe shows 6 inches or even 10 inches of thickness while in reality, it's only 4 inches thick (to save money and/or time) Looking at the cracks in the floor, I don't know about the thickness, but I wonder what reinforcement they used and how stable the ground is underneath the concrete slab. A floor shouldn't crack like that unless the reinforcement is rusted or the floor was still wet when it started to freeze or there's not sufficient reinforcement in it. As long as you use it as a garage or equipment storage, it's fine. But when you are planning on really stressing the floor, these things become essential. In almost every case concrete won't fail when there's no weight on the lift, it always goes when your car/jeep is on it because it's not only the weight pushing down on the columns that can cause the concrete to break, the biggest danger is the weight distribution when your car/jeep is up high. When the weight of your jeep is not evenly spread from the middle of the columns backwards and forwards, the lift will have the tendency to tip over or fall backwards. We always like to eyeball the lifting points so they are evenly spread, but these positions seldom represent the exact place where the weight is divided evenly. You don't notice this "tilt force" (hope this is the correct word) because concrete doesn't give you a waring". It's this tilting force that could get you in danger. When you look at the Gladiator, it will be heavy in the front and light in the back. You can image how those tipping forces will multiply with every inch you raise that vehicle. therefore I would recommend dedicated concrete piers or large thick base plates that can spread the weight evenly over a big surface because the danger it's not only much the forse of weight pushing down on the concrete, it's the tilt force that can rip the concrete. I hope you appreciate my concern, I just don't want to see two young parents to get hurt ;-) English is not my native language so I hope my post is clear enough for you to understand what I mean. Keep the video's coming my friends, love them.
@@rickaccurso I did 6 inch concrete, with wire and it was definitely 3000 psi or better. I ordered my lift from the Home Depot app. Zero shipping costs if ya pick it up at the store. We installed ourselves.
I think Ben is the only person I've ever seen that starts with his thumb, when counting numbers on his fingers lol congrats on the new lift, makes life a whole lot easier having one of those around.
If you go to Tackform and get the 20mm bar mount and 20mm to 17mm ball you can mount that trail dash 3 to the vector bar. My suction mount stopped working because the cold recently.
I was so excited to see yall moved to Oklahoma. ! I’ve been a fan since the Virginia days and I’m glad to have a channel like yall showing off our state! Maybe I’ll run into y’all at Crossbar sometime, I live just down I-35 in Ardmore.
I'm considering a td2 or 3 for my JK. But you should check out the ultra-gauge. I put one in every single car I own now. It's awesome to have in my 08 jk and 2018 escape.
Great to see you guys are back!!! Quick suggestion: when you are going to be away for a while (like before this video! Lol), drop a short video (maybe even a cell phone video), just to let your fans that your working on things, but especially to let them know you're still alive and kicking!!! Hahaha!!! Anywho, glad to see your back!!! Thumbs up!
Thanks for another great video and congrats on the new shop!!! Is the Superchips TD3 compatible with the Tazer? Have 9 boxes of Clayton JT lift waiting for me to install and I loved your install video! Thanks!
Lift in, we got the parts… it’s happening, finally🤣
Love the shop and the lift! Nice job!
Great video! Why do I get the feeling that the family is growing… 😎
Your lives have just Changed forever. Lift - space to work- power. Game changer!
Baby #3?
Congrats Ben! Having that lift is a game changer. So jealous. Keep it up

I'm glad to see this, I'm in the process of building a shop and I want to put a lift in it. Thank you for the info, I will consider all what you said.
@@rickaccurso you are welcome my friend

@@CVCWV thank you
I have had a traildash 2 in my JK for almost a year and I'm super happy with it.

My only regret with purchasing a lift was not buying it 10 years sooner. Total game changer. Congrats to you guys!
take your work bench and tool box and put them on the wall in front of lift/jeep. open up the side wall. you will be golden!!
I was just going through y'alls channel Friday and wondering where you've been. Glad to see y'all back.
Congratulations, can't wait to hear about the new addition(s) on both your channels.
So good to see how things are starting to look in your shop!!
I think Ben is the only person I've ever seen that starts with his thumb, when counting numbers on his fingers lol congrats on the new lift, makes life a whole lot easier having one of those around.
Shops looking good! Well worth the wait
Glad to see you back, and congrats to both of you.
Shop’s lookin good! Glad to hear from you guys. 👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Try backing the JK on the lift. Maybe then the truss will be over the hood and give a little more clearance.
Y'all killin it. Not wasting any time. Shop looks great!
The LSJKU has the 1st gen Insane Audio and it's pretty laggy too.
Welcome back guys! The shop is looking good! Now let's get those Jeeps on the trails..... and don't make us wait so long 👍
If you go to Tackform and get the 20mm bar mount and 20mm to 17mm ball you can mount that trail dash 3 to the vector bar. My suction mount stopped working because the cold recently.
Glad to see you guys back. Look forward to more videos.
Awesome y'all, congrats on the move and the big decision to move on from the CG!
The new shop is coming along nicely.

Add a larger plate of steel between the lift foot and the concrete to spread the loaded.
I was so excited to see yall moved to Oklahoma.
! I’ve been a fan since the Virginia days and I’m glad to have a channel like yall showing off our state! Maybe I’ll run into y’all at Crossbar sometime, I live just down I-35 in Ardmore.
That's so awesome! Looking forward to future content!

Welcome back yall. Great progress since last show. Carry on.
Congratulations on the new "addition".
Glad you're back! Missed your great content.
When lifting the jk it might be worth backing it in you might be able to get better lift height
Things are looking good there! Nice to see you both back!
HE LIVES! Good to see you guys again!
Glad to see ya guys back ...
The shop improvements are awesome. Great job👍
I guess we can call off the search party. Thought yall gave up on TH-cam lol glad to see yall back.
I'm considering a td2 or 3 for my JK. But you should check out the ultra-gauge. I put one in every single car I own now. It's awesome to have in my 08 jk and 2018 escape.
If you take the doors off, lift between roll bars, you might have more lift height? Just a thought.
Congrats looking forward to future vids. Thanks
So happy you ate back. Best channel out there.
