- Today we are installing a set of Swag Off-road body mounts. These were sooooo easy and make for a great beginner welding project. The low hanging body mounts on the Jeep TJ are a big problem if you enjoy a lot of rocks or time off road. Today we fix this problem once and for all! Enjoy and stay creative!

Often times it’s the small things that add up to make a rig functional. Nice to see some quick focus on them
I can tell you’re a man of quality when I saw that drawer full of Milwaukee tools 👍
Lol I'm a big fan of good tools 👍
Up here in the northeast the welded nuts for the body mount bolts hidden in the tub love to break free and spin. Good times
Another great vid Nate. You’re a natural in front of the camera and on the tools! Easy to underestimate the time and effort put into making these quality short edits. We appreciate it. Keep em’ coming!
Thank you!
I dont have a jeep, I dont go offroad. I still love your videos for the fabrication and tips. Thanks!
Digging the tunes on this vid. Was wondering when the TDI would make another appearance.
Yeah I have been waiting for more TDI videos
BOB SAGET 400 hp TD I?
Wow,gotta look that one up!
@@1966cambo yeah. I was curioua on that too. Usually it's 200 hp/400 tq without sacrificing greatly on the tq side.
Definitely next upgrade on my XJ. 😂
Your videos on fab work on the low buck diesel truck have taught me SOOO much, for my Comanche build. Currently passing with an A in my welding class because of your tutorial on using a speed square!!
Thanks great to hear man! I'm so pumped to see such a positive comment! Much appreciated my brother 🤘
Man your shop is awsome
I'm very fortunate 👍
Solid work! I can’t wait to put these on combined with full boat sides
Muddy got ya beat on the painting though ;). I liked how he taped off the weld area and painted them. Then finish welded them on the frame and finished painting. I totally get what you mean about all the paint being rubbed off the next day haha.
Muddy?
Dirt Lifestyle Sorry. KELLY from muddy beards. He just did the same boat sides in one of his most recent videos. I kinda figured that was why you also did them :)
Another great video. Been a long time watcher of yours. Actually you are the only reason I ever subbed to Bleepin Jeep. I think your video quality has improved quite alot since you went on your own. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you for sticking around! And thank you for the giant compliment 👍
Jeep logic... Let me do the most complex upgrade/mod before I take care of something that should have been completed years ago.
I know exactly what you are talking about!!! LOL
Lol
You’re a rockstar of humble knowledge. Keep up the great work.
Btw you can put a French drain in front or behind your garage door and eliminate the water infiltration.
I've thought about installing some trough drains up there i just haven't gotten around to it 👍
And thank you for the compliment brother 👍
Dirt Lifestyle haha I have a thousand such projects, too. Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏻
Man your shop is awsome thanks all cool build stuff
new nickname : "That's not just one rock" Nate ;)
Lol
Check out the gravel inside the frame :-0
Has anyone ever mentioned that in the work suit you were you look like a sushi chef ? 😂😂
I was thinking Hop Sing from Bonanza.
Definitely looks like a restaurant worker
Lol this is a first
Hibachi!!!
As a former sushi chef, I find this an agreeable take 😋
This video brought joy to my life today. Quality part, quality welding.
This vid makes me want to build a TJ!!! Awesome content, thank you!
Great quick video! you got me cracking up with “yup that worked” when straightening that body mount and “water world”. Hope you guys have a great time out on the rocks today! Sounds like Reiter maybe. 🤔
Lol thanks man! Reiter was epic. The edit starts now 👍
Dirt Lifestyle heck yeah! Can’t wait to see it! Saw Kelly dropped on his tub and looks like he bent up his slider and tub a bit 😬
A really cool upgrade, now thinking to boxing my bodymounts as well😅
Cant wait for another wheeling video! Also, I'm sure you are spending most of the time on the disco, but when is the LowBuck going to come back to us?
I shot the next wheeling video yesterday 👍. I'm not sure on the LBDT. I might do a short video on it soon. I have many other projects that unfortunately have priority right now.
That’s pretty sturdy and genius looking . Great looking Jeep . Keep on wheeling 💪🏼
Have you thought about making a video on replacing the center body mount tub sections for those people that need to replace them from rust? I have seen a company that makes frame and tub replacement panels to make the job even easier.
I have not brother, it's not an issue we have in the Pacific north west 👍
I was actually looking at these the other day. The mounts on my YJ are starting to look like an M. Definitely need to add those to the list.
Looks like you are able to move them up and remove the body lift but still maintain that body hight that’s awesome!
Not gonna lie, I thought you were talking about Portal Axles. 😢 I was excited to see you add that to the Jeep. But these body mounts make sense.
Lol why do some of you think I'm getting protals? If I have the money that would be great but I've never even mentioned them on the channel before 😆
One of the best upgrades you can do
Man, the quality of your videos is awesome. Really inspiring making me want to learn to fabricate
Why not build brackets that incorporate your body mounts and extend out too also be your rock sliders? Then with skid plates covering front to back and from the outer edge all the way to the frame. The first down side I could see is the weight. Your thoughts?
I plan on boat sides eventually 👍
Beautifully executed
Hey Nate, another great video, thank you.
Just an ideer, an old fashioned welder's cap like you wear, with a Dirt Lifestyle logo......
getting hard to find the old style caps.
My wife is looking into these as we speak 🤘
Jeep pron on a rainy day, perfect! Good to see you wrenching on the TJ again.
Thanks buddy 👍
Hey Nate, awesome video, you do such great work with not only your Jeep but with the editing, keep it up 👍
Thank you!
Love your welding 👍 it keeps getting better 😀
Nice brackets. Thanks Nate👍🏻
Loved the humour you put into this one. :-P As always, thank you for the great content.
Thank you!
You had a surprise rain storm in Washington..... color me shocked.
Awesome video, Nate! Loved the shot at 5:37 :)
Thank you!
The last time I saw body mounts that bad were on a drag car that crashed at 100+ mph. Nice work Nate, love the channel brah 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Makes me wonder why they don't do things like this at the factory . If you ever want to do a video series on swapping a solid axle into a Blazer, I'd be willing to let you use mine for the demo. ;)
Looks like you took the body lift pucks off and mounted the new brackets higher. Having less leverage on the body bolts will help bending along with the design of the new brackets
Love watching your work and ideas! Keep it up!
Thanks!
Great video and useful tips! My body mounts look like your old ones...now to make them look like your new ones!
Get yourself a squegee on a broom handle, then you can easily clean liquid spills or wash the floor
Good video! Felt like i didn't get to see the final picture with the rattle can paint job..!
I hate to keep saying it but another great video. Love the welding tech.
Hey man. You have really motivated me to start working on my keep again. The videos are killer and keep up the great work. Also I have been using a company called Roark supply for all my cut off wheels and flap wheels. I am not sponsored by them but they have great deals.
Looks good man I gotta get better at welding
I think we all say that everytime we watch Nate weld.
nastycbr true story. I’ll get there one day just gotta keep practicing
I want to get better as well my friend! We all just need to put in the hours to sharpen our skill sets 👍
Awesome upgrade
I'd love to have your expertise for laying out my build that I'm doing on my 2004 4.0 TJ Sahara, I have learned a ton from your videos but I have a long way to go on slowly building up my jeep while being full-time in college. My biggest purchase and upgrade so far has been my GenRight Aluminum Highlines which I was able to install after fighting quite a bit with the hood haha! Wanting to dana 44 swap, do a 3.5" suspension with 1" body low COG build on 37s, maybe 40's someday but it is my daily, so I'm trying to keep it driving nice.
So I've been watching your channel for a couple weeks now. Kinda binge watching, with everything you do, why don't you own a lift??? I do, and it make fabricating certain items, and welding overhead so much nicer
Lol a lift takes up to much space for me. One day i want to get a commercial space. Then I will absolutely get a lift 👍
Some very nice mounts Nate. Looks great installed.
Looks like u could just these to do a small body lift and look like great places to land some boat side rocks cool video Nate keep up the good work
I really like the SWAG products I have.
Wonder if something like this could be done on the LR Disco 1. The rockers and suspension/body mounts hang pretty low. I’m cutting what’s left of my rockers off and turning them into sliders/rocker panels.
Great video! I’ve definitely checked out these body mounts for a future mod!!
Great job and good tip on fitting them before tacking them together to account for vehicle variances.
Have you tried Dupli-color satin black wheel paint? I use it on most of the brackets I make - interior and exterior. It is very good for irregular surfaces because it dries quickly and doesn't run. It's tough, too.
I haven't but am willing 👍
Yeah I can’t keep the paint on my tj either lol I just rattle can what I need for touch ups then back to the trails she’s solid just not a pavement princess lol
Loved the vibe bro! Great video.
Thanks!
Would've been the perfect time to toss in some fresh body bushings. Other wise great video and something I've looked at doing myself for some time now.
These are still in great shape! The chassis on has 54k miles lol
@@DirtLifestyle oh wow! I figured it had probably 3 times that many miles haha.
Those look amazing
Who gives this a thumbs down ?? WTH......
Sometimes it's a fat finger that does it.
@@Ntmoffi bet the lady's like them though...
Lol not sure man! Someone has rung the bell to get notifications when i launch a video AND they thumbs down every video as soon it goes live. Every video. Seems ridiculous to me 🤦♂️
@@DirtLifestyle I like your videos...... I think you do a great job !!! 👍 and do a very good job at explaining thinks..... TY..
Clickbait title most likely. Great content though.
LOL.
15 yrs into it, I just did mine last summer. I was down to 2 of 8 on my commando.
It aint just you
Lol
Excellent as always Where did you get the Worklights
That made a huge difference,looks awesome too brother 👍
Thanks!
Nate I would really like to see you use some weld though primer
Great video. Thanks, Nate.
LITTLE RAIN IN WA, NOOO ,OREGON ALSO RIGHT THERE WITH YA
I wish I had that shop...
Hey man, you should really look into a set of boatside rockers. I have the version made by Dave's Customs Unlimited and they're a game changer for rocker area clearance.
I've been planning on building a set for years, just haven't gotten there yet 👍
@@DirtLifestyle Dave's only charges $300 for their set, which makes it really hard to beat that price when you consider the substantial material and time cost of building them yourself. The install is definitely tricky.
Looks good dude haha great thing about pnw the rain I use my weed burner to dry the concrete works great ha
Great video, enjoyed the music. Look forward to new videos every week
Excelente trabajo en mío bueno cuando se pone a soldar a cortar los metales 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Saludos desde Antofagasta Chile mi amigo 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
This isn't my language but it looks positive and I appreciate it! Thank you for watching mi amigo 🤘
@@DirtLifestyle l love your vídeos are excellent and more when you modify the jeep greetings from chile 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I need to do this on my Geo Tracker 🤣
Looks like a good and seems like it'd help a ton. When are we going to see low buck diesel truck again?
Not sure man, many folks have projects that take years to complete. The low buck diesel truck is i. That category to me. I will continue chipping away at it but I have some other projects that have priority. Slowly but surely it will be completed 👍
@@DirtLifestyle i get it! I have my 93 YJ, 79 square body and some dirt bikes lol
Only three sides of contact on the chassis mount weld, you reckon that will be strong enough?
I'm surprised he didn't go with the chassis swap from Wide Open Design.
So, across the top, on the frame, is there no weld across it? I know the rest of the welds will hold it, but my old would want that welded also.
I welded the top from inside the bracket 👍
sometimes it more important to get the job done then it is to be able to say i made every bracket by hand
Next upgrade - Trench Drain in front of garage door.
Great video per usual, keep up the good work!
Just curious, what about the top seam on the bracket/ chassis and under the body? I would have thought that it would be an important weld. Curious minds want to know! Kind regards,
Hey man! I welded it from the inside. Swag make a larger hole then you need to hit this spot 👍
@@DirtLifestyle Cool, thanks! I wondered how you were going to get around having to lift the body off! Well done ;-)
Hi Nate, question: The wheels look like Method, but I can't find a wheel with the valve stem protector seen at 2:59 on the rear wheel
If they aren't Method Grid/Mesh, then what brand and model
Thanks
So how long did the "two hour" project really take?
And how long would it have been without the cameras?
I could knock this out in 2 hrs with no cameras easy. But with cameras I started between 5 and 6 in the morning and finished the edit around 11 at night. Then I went out to the shop to do a quick coat of paint 👍
@@DirtLifestyle Long day
well shoot thought it was going to be portal axles..
👍👍👍👍👍 I hear you !!!!!!!
@BOB SAGET tractors have been using them for years..... and they work very well.... but very expensive for sure..... unimog
@BOB SAGET unimogs would differ from you in that regard....
@BOB SAGET did I miss something.. ? All I said was I expected to see something abou tportal axles.. as a sort of joke.. then you come along talking about how only uber rich posers use portal axles.. then when that view isn't entirely accurate because manufacturers actually use them, it some how turns into some weird confrontational verbal exchange on your part... but hey.. to each their own you keep on hating portals and I'll keep on being curious..
I don't have the money for such a thing lol
You fabricated the sides panels? Back from front fenders.
LMAO those mounts look like they've been through two world wars!!
So I have a question if you where to do it over would you still do the tdi swap? Clearly more usable power in the appropriate area over the stock 4.0 but was it really worth it? If so is there anything you would do differently?
Do you have a discount code with Swag? I'd love to make sure you get some credit for my purchase. If not, the Barnes kit looks almost identical to me.
I don't unfortunately. Barnes and swag are both top notch 👍
Love SWAG STUFF, looks great. HAY, how’s that Liberty winch bumper build for you wife coming along. 🤷♂️
It's painted and installed. More updates to come 👍
Very nice man. These are on my short list, and in fact just this morning was talking to a friend about how I want to incorporate something like these into a high clearance belly pan I want to build. Curious, what do you do about the rear frame body mounts? just pucks? Thanks!
The rears are still just body lift pucks 👍
Cool video Nate. I have a body mount nutsert that is spinning that is holding a cheapo nerf bar rock slider on my TJ which has kissed many rocks and needs to be upgraded. Do you recommend cutting a hole in the body to get to the nutsert or something else?
I haven't had to fix this problem so unfortunately I don't have any advise on the subject 👍
interesting. This was pretty cool.
I think I would have replaced the bolt hardware while you were at it
What tailgate mod is that? Looks cool.
Awesome idea to upgrade! I am definitely going to consider this! Do you already have a body lift installed prior to this or are you not running one? Thanks!
Yes sir! It had a 1"body lift so I just removed the 6 center pucks for extra clearance 👍
You made that look to easy 😳😧🤣
What color is the tj? What's the paint code? Awesome videos!
Not sure on the paint code man 👍
"there's always slight variances from the factory".
That may be true but I don't think yours were from the factory!
Lol
