- Just another day on the roller coaster ride we call TFS. Spend a day with us as we celebrate the awesomeness of a former employee while trying to get some chassis reinforcements finished up. There might even be a hint or two about this build just waiting to be discovered as well...

I have a new way of describing things now, "I dumbassed my way into it" absolutely love it
Thank you!
Reminds me of what my former boss use to tell me all the time ( you've got to be smartest dumbass I've ever known)
I do this stuff everyday and I just sit and watched till the end. I have a problem, don't judge me!
We are only as good as our help,hard to let good ones go. Glad for him to see he was appreciated!!!!!!!👍Good for you!
Slayer shirt+ humble dude= good people!! I love this channel in every way!
Damn, could've watched 30 more minutes of that, can't wait for the next video.
Always Enjoy watching craftsmen at work !
I always learn some new stuff !
Thanks so much !!
Thanks brandon! I got at least 100 of those coupons in mild steel, aluminum, and stainless.
Justin, watching you fight the square like I have forever made me wonder if you have seen fireball tools mega squarr. I just got mine last week and already am loving it.
I'm enjoying the vlog format of these videos. Still love the educational "how-to" videos as well. Great job, Justin!
Thanks Brandon! It feels good to work hard. Thanks for a job well done, now keep it rollin!
Thank you Brandon for your service. Nice to see the face associated with the coupons I've been practicing with. 👍👍
Aww can see you taught a lot of him as your employee and you seem to be a really cool employer for doing that for him wish more employers are like you 🤘🏻
Can’t get enough of these videos. Keep them coming
It's great to see that things don't always work exactly like they are planned but then you just change gears and readjust to get it right. I really like your videos I've learned a ton!
You are a great boss and even better human being, thanks for the upload
This was an amazing upload. Just seemed real, and unscripted. Just the way I like it......."Real"!!!! This video really shows why your successful. Great people succeed. Keep jamming along. Love the content.
All the best to Brandon in his future, well done 'boss' Justin for putting on a little farewell for him. And the gold tape dispenser was awesome. It will always make for gr8 memories for Brandon....
Love your vids..... Keep up the good work. From down under 🇦🇺 Oz 🇦🇺
Burgers and beers!! Congrats on how far your channel has grown. Thanks for punching out all this great content! Stay up!
Oh you gave away some more on what its gonna be!!!! Dude i cant wait.
love the content brother 😄 good to see you back in action 👍🇺🇲🙏
I have been so very impressed with your thoroughness and attention to every detail (including your employee thoughtfulness). If you are hyper concerned about the strength of the whole design, you may want to consider taking a square tube or two from the top of one of the bag frame mounts across to the other bag mount (basically from the inside of one side of the frame to the other side directly on top of the bag mounts). That would relieve a lot of the stress put on the relatively short mounting surface you have on the frame to hold the weight of the whole truck (car).
That the first welder I ever got and learned off after going to Fab school! Such a great welder that Miller!!
Love the build and the new style videos. Keep up the great work.👍
Great series, loving it.
Love your stuff currently in the Air Force I’m kc135 Crew Chief and I love how you also like taping the crap out of your friends stuff
Best video i've seen on rearend setup of this type!! I've watched way too many of them:)
A very complicated four link suspension system and chassis set up young man. I have seen a simpler alternative which uses an "A" frame and fulcrum ball joint on the rear axle. Much easier to to set up and install and little geometry to worry about as they arteoff the shelf parts. A really interesting series and I can feel your frustration, as with any kind of first time builds where you sort of invent solutions on the fly is really brain bashing stuff. Top respect!
Just got my first batch of coupons yesterday, figured I’d watch this video before heading to work so I can start practicing my tig skills.
good to see you observing appropriate social distancing and using ppe.
Another good vidoe. Thnx Justin.
Fish plates vs Gussets Hmmm ? I still prefer gussets, because they reach farther and supply angular strength. They also supply a center support that stops stress BEFORE it ever gets tp the weld joint that's being supported and stiffened. They are easier to make and install. That's just my way, but I like yours too.
Very nice work, Great video, thanks
All the load is on the rear chassis legs.
That is where your 4 bar connects so all the acceleration and deceleration forces will go through that part of the frame.
Seeing the bags installed and the suspension move was rewarding I bet.
I like it. It’s a bit of a departure from your usual in that you’re hitting a lot more things whereas the older stuff is *usually like one thing specific. Certainly not saying one or the other is better, just what I noticed. But the video style is still casual enough to not feel all Hollywoodish, and the content of course, was on point as usual.
I appreciate the feedback.
Watching all the way from trinidad and tobago.
Like the video I’m glad to see you you are happy with your success To see you doing videos from your garage to teaching to a video grew congratulations wish you further success
How come your running the trailing arms of the 4 link to the rear?
Good work bud sad ro see a member of the crew leave keep up your good work
Great content. Looking forward to the truck being finished. Jason at ThorBros is a great guy. I try to order as much as i can from him for my bagged and body dropped Tacoma.
What valve setup are you planning on running for air management?
absolutely love your videos, always learn something! I also get a good laugh from your comments, that looks like crap!
Good to see you care about your employees. I have a question. What are coupons? You know? Those things Brandon made 116,000 of? Looking forward to the finished product. Plus, I'm loving the new video production format.
Your video on measuring for the main hoop really helped me out! I checked, double checked and checked again. Took me a while but only had to do it once. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. So.....you have a position open?? Where are you located?? Noticed the KBPI sticker on your welding hood. You in Colorado??
I Haven't visited the new shop yet. It's time I do. Neat shhhTuff!
You should drop by! Would be cool to catch up with you.
You have used TIG welding in few components which you have used MIG welding on main chassis, Can you please brief me why you did this way? does it make any difference with the type of welding we use? I am newbie to this. Please tell.
Mig for fast welds on thick steel. Tig on thin parts and other materials
Remembering back to when you made your grinding bench. How well has it been operating for you?
I'm afraid you would need another bracings on the rear to counter the reverse inertia during heavy starting and stopping.
damn, now I really curious if the Watts Link could be laid horizontal across the top of the axle. The more I think about it, the end links and the bar on the axle itself could be integrated directly into the airbag mounts, and they could be mirrored. So many ideas.
how do you pick which bags to go with? That might be a good subject for a video.
can you tell us some law aspect about DIY car?
this is very interesing bc im from EU and in my country law about cars are very restrictive.
where has this project gotten to miss it
So in the second Watt's link video you mention that the axle wasn't centered quite right. Did you center before welding the airbag mounts to the axle ? Otherwise the bags will be running at a slight angle. BTW, met Brandon last year when I did my class last May, he was busting his butt , great guy !
Do you have video of cutting the old chassis and connecting your tube to it?
Again, if you had used 45 degree instead of 90ies over the back axel, then you would have had more strength and might not need the extra plates for strength + weight.
Is there any specific packaging reason you went with a reverse 4link setup? Because even within the confines of that box you could have done a forward 4 link
There is quite a bit of controversy about that, seems wrong for so many reasons but Justin has a plan.
Same thing with the side plates/gussets and bracing - the former are largely along neutral axis and the latter not actually where there are going to be much by way of loading, anyway - that square tubing is damned stiff!
Forward 4 link is the Wright way to go. Because when you are driving forward the suspension will want to move back and up when going over bumps. Will be vary smooth ride.Reverse 4 link is going to jam and make the chase jump up and loose traction.
That's a very strong design. You will be able to carry at least three bodies in the trunk.
You should make a video about aluminized steel pipe
I sat here and kinda wondered why you would do bag over axle then I hear there is gonna be a trunk so I assume space is gonna be tight
Force the bags down with vacuum?
I have that Miller welder also and love it
@billyfromtheusa it's the millermatic 220 AC/DC
@billyfromtheusa it's worth it if you want to do aluminum. I also like that you can keep both tanks hooked up so switching from mig to Tig is easy
@billyfromtheusa yes you can do 110/220 and I have done 24 gauge with ease.
Not going to run shocks? Might be a little bouncy
I was wondering that too. I have to imagine he will just hasn't gotten there yet
I can't watch your channel. The reason I don't watch tv is reality shows. You're the first channel that makes me feel like I feel when a reality show is on the tube when I'm in the room.
Bag over axle is a hard ride , recommend a 1.5-1 reverse cantilever .
What's a coupon...
Why didn't I have a boss like you when I was in fabrication as a career, damn
Anyone know why they’re called “fish plates”?
Okay, what's the coupon thing about?
Is the Body a Mitsubishi or a Dodge?
Wow, what a cool boss. Can I have his job and get a golden tape gun?
So much beef except the plate brackets connecting the bags to the chassis. Seems to me all the load will be on those two brackets.
Does the load from the torque transmit to the rear 4 link, won't it try to pull the chassis and stretch it backwards??
That's what I was thinking. All the longitudinal forces from acceleration (assuming RWD) and braking (in the rear) will be transferred from the axle through the links to the frame side four link pivots and into those rear sections of frame. I'm not there and I can't see it in person so I can't say how much gusseting is needed, but to say all the forces are going to be in the bag mounts is true if you are only talking about the vehicle's weight. All the lateral forces will the transferred through the Watts link and the longitudinal forces through the four link for the rear axle.
I recognize the frame as a MM/D50, but what is this for?
I don't get why I'm just seeing this was released a week later??
BMW body on this chassis, boom!!!!
Make a sandblasting cabinet!
To collapse the bag. Stand on the bag and put a pipe plug in the port
Progress!
Classy!
Why is this video so hard to find? I've been waiting for these videos and looking forward to them but they don't seem to be showing up properly
This is a test screening if you will. I havent released the full series yet. Just a couple to get some feedback.
@@TheFabricatorSeries im hardly an expert but so far I like how this is looking production wise. Its nice to follow along as the build progresses and see it come together. Looking forward to the rest of this build. Particularly the suspension.
I appreciate the feedback!
Wait, I've seen Brandon on another channel. Freakin' Reviews or something.
Remember it is only overkill if it never fails!!!
Yeah, metallurgy is more of an art than a science.
7:30, needs more power.
Love The Channel Man Im Happy to Sub. Too It
guys, where's the hearing protection?!?
Good educational vids for young guys just starting but don't forget to match your rear roll centre to the front or it wont work front and rear will work against each other.
By match are you talking about height? If so, research "roll axis inclination". They do not need to be at the same height and in some cases it might be advantageous not to have them at the same height.
Just remember its a light weight mini truck with 30hp. It doesn't need to be built like a tank
But if it has 110 HP... 🤔
👍
Why not put the fishplate on the inside!

Hello OSHA want s to know your location, to talk about safety glasses, ear protection warning signs, barriers and procedures.
OSHA, aside, Man, many thanks for showing what you do, you are an inspiration to keep going in this difficult times.
royal with cheese
Такое ощущение, что в начале видео он с дикого бодуна ))))
Why does this say it was uploaded a week ago but has only 30 views? These videos get at least 30 views a minute... I'm slightly lost on this one...
Because it is unlisted. Only people with the link can see it.
And how do we get that link? To pay for the camera and edit crew? Cause I want to support your venture. Videos are great.
@@vwbughacked3098 They'll be released very soon.
Slayer \m/
Honestly can't watch this style video. Its just painful. Why no lav mic? No close ups. Filler. Not a fan of this style.
Sorry Justin but I agree with the above, seems like I’m watching twice as long to get the same amount of info and I have to put up with poor quality audio as well. I like the project, how you are doing it and the info you share but ... I dunno, it doesn’t feel as professional as it used to.
This kind of video takes a lot less editing. More frequent videos leaves less time for editing
Toward your chum, not your thumb
Format got too long. Tech too spaced out.
Those "fish" plate look AWFUL!!! I would have gone with inner and outer gussets rather (just my personal opinion) as I think it would have look a lot neater.
Airbags are crap compared to SumoSprings
First!!! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Good job Young Man
Ah huhu he said fish plate, oh and TH-cam.peeps much like liberals will never be made happy no matter how many fish plates you put on that chassis , I think you need to gusset that frame some more keyboard rattles
