    Definitely want to see a video on the trailer fix. Crazy how the energy of the crash moved through it.

      I would definitely like to see it done.

    • @fearindestry
      @fearindestry ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I ain't suprised about the energy of the trailer crash. Also you don't have to be going that fast to bend a trailer like this, 30 mph is plenty enough

  • @3rd_gen_j
    @3rd_gen_j ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I believe that hawse fairlead is for synthetic cable. The steel winch cable will chew up that aluminum fairlead. I think you need to use a roller fairlead imo. Great video as usual. Loving the build!

    I’ve been binge watching this FJ cruiser build all day! Love your channel. I have a pick up FJ cruiser that I restored a few years ago but I don’t have a fully fitted and functional workshop like yours so my work is nowhere near as good as yours. Love from Namibia 🇳🇦. I love your power tools and your welds are superb. Welding is something I want to learn more

  • @kylemikesh123

    The worst part about this episode is that I have to wait for the next episode to come out! Seriously awesome work, Austin. I check every day to see if you’ve posted a video. Love the content. Thank you!

    There is no question that the frame is strong and solid. Very nice and done well. It will make a difference in the ability of the vehicle. Are you considering making any or full length skid plates across the bottom ? By the looks of it you managed to get everything tucked up nicely. So nothing hangs below the frame. So having skid plates not only protects everything. It provides a wide surface to keep from hanging up on anything. Looking forward to seeing what's next. How your going to finish the body... rear bumper... rock sliders.. roll cage... yeah it is a great build and really looking forward to seeing the progress. As for the trailer... looks like a good winter project. Such an open canvas to repair and improve upon to allow it to be used. With your creativity and imagination along with your fabrication skills. That trailer truly is a blank canvas.... 😎👍

    You are a mig welding BEAST!!! Nice work, Man!!

  • @Marcus_Woodard
    @Marcus_Woodard ปีที่แล้ว

    You might want to consider adding rubber or plastic to the frame right behind the electrical studs on the winch. They could contact the frame in a hard front end hit. Or maybe you can clock the winch.

  • @larryleerssen2562
    @larryleerssen2562 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think it would be good to see a video of you repairing the trailer, and do some upgrades like a winch, and a toolbox for your straps and fixings and maybe some more lights etc, etc, but go for it, keep up the great content. 👍👍👍

  • @qdusen
    @qdusen ปีที่แล้ว

    Surprised you didn't complete the roll cage and frame tie ins before getting it blasted. Also, you can get the inside of a frame sandblasted. They drag a hose through the frame that has side vent ports for the sand. I had it done when I had a frame galvanized. And yes, I think a video on the trailer would be cool.

  • @kurtscustoms
    @kurtscustoms ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes on the trailer fix video. I bet you'll get it back like brand new.

    One of the only channels that gets an instant like before even watching the video, great content 👏🏻
    Edit: You are correct, if you box part of the frame you gotta do the whole thing. The unboxed portions will fatigue easily. Especially Toyota frames.

    you for sure should do a video of this - something different and you know you will through some custom touches at it

  • @Max-ik9qb
    @Max-ik9qb ปีที่แล้ว

    When final welding a frame we usually jig it up to a frame table to keep it from twisting. 1-2 days of non stop final welding puts a TON of heat into it, which can and usully leads to something twisting. Hopefully you have some dumb luck working in your favor! 😅

  • @johnpyle8027

    @6226superhurricane ปีที่แล้ว

    you'll have the same issue as the 70 series toyota with the vdj engine. the alternator is down at crank level and they have constant alternator failures just from driving down wet gravel roads they don't even have to get anywhere near a soupy boghole. the alternator is just sucking in dirt,dust, grit and mud constantly

  • @marks7120
    @marks7120 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another great episode. I was mid watching a different channel when I saw the notification from your episode and I stopped and jumped to your video 😝
    Yes, a video of the trailer. To be honest, I’d watch a video if you brushing your teeth to support your channel. But I would be keen to see the trailer fix. Keep it up. Please tell me you are going to keep this FJ build and not sell it.

  • @brandtall9639
    @brandtall9639 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good call pressure washing the frame out.
    Tons of rock and grime gone. Are you going to use the Eastwood system to spray the inside of your frame?
    Going to need some frame time on your trailer to pull the side rails back in line but that’s a good buy.
    Really enjoy your work on this one. Jealous I don’t have a shop like yours to build in. Keep up the good work.

  • @papawheelie5835
    @papawheelie5835 ปีที่แล้ว

    Kinda chuckled when I saw that trailer damage. A few years back, I had just picked up a very nice tilt trailer at work, drove less than a mile and while stopped in a left turn lane, a semi drove right over it from behind. Oh, and the semi driver was an "undocumented immigrant" who spoke zero English. Trailer was totalled, driver met ICE agents, bad day all around. So, YES, a video or two repairing the new to you trailer would be awesome!

  • @fercecfe

  • @jwbogger
    @jwbogger ปีที่แล้ว

    Looks like the winch fairlead is for a synthetic rope, if you keep the wire cable you will want to run the roller fairlead. Sure you know this looking at the quality of work you have going, but just in case you didn't.

    Be careful, that aluminum fairlead is for synthetic winch rope, the steel cable will destroy the fairlead.
