I love how people think he does no research before he does something.
"Let me just cut my truck frame and not understand what I'm doing"
K...but I'm not sure he does enough or the right kind.
@@robsorgdrager8477 he does things all by himself and learns from his own mistakes, what more do you want
@@rubenbraekman4515 I'm not wanting more. He's his own person. The best way is to make mistakes. When I train mechanics I tell them " the best way to learn how something works is to break it and then fix it. "
@@robsorgdrager8477 K... so are you arguing against yourself at this point? How do you "do enough" without gaining experience by doing it?
Gingium im so proud of you. Been here since like 30k back when you did forza vids. Never would've thought you would be building cars. Its so crazy seeing how far youve come. Honestly my favorite TH-camr. You put out such quality content and you have absolutely zero drama involved with your channel. The drift truck is beautiful you did an amazing job on the coilovers. That truck is the definition of built not bought. Love ya ging.
Yeah I am too. I have been here since he sold his ford focus. this is one of the biggest growths I have ever seen in someones channel and he deserves it for his hard work!
I came for Forza content but stayed for his cars

Dam I’m proud of you bro! The truck is coming together crazy fast, looks amazing!
Thank you so much! Cant wait to drive it again 😎

@@rubenbraekman4515 I paid for every thing in my shop out of my own pocket. But hey, if people will buy your tools for you....
*hears music*
Me: that kinda sounds like Skyrim music
Me, 20 seconds later:
YOOOO
Drift truck slowly coming together I love it
Goddamn the production quality on this one is incredible! Keep it up with the spicy editing gimgim
Literally my favorite build on TH-cam rn!
mine is mastermilo82 rebuilding an old T-55

I remember watching you almost breaking molly while installing a cold air intake. It's so impressive to see what you're doing now. Great job Caleb.
Keep doing what you do, the important thing is to be different and unique.
So proud to see you progress, been here since around 50k when you had the Subaru and did forza. You have your own shop, weld, do metalwork and things like that. You’ve grown like crazy, keep it up Caleb
Loved the fast sawblades shopping edit ^^

I had to double check to make sure I didnt miss spell anything in the title after reading this haha

bro are you ok? Seems like you are having a stroke bro...
Thop Stat
Best thing of 2019 is the clamp you mean😏
So I'm confident this will just get lost in amongst all the other comments but here goes anyway.
There will always be haters and idiots who think they know better than you and deserve to have more of a say in how your vehicles turn out than you do. But I've been around since before the days of Molly and seeing how far you've progressed as a home brew mechanic is amazing. You bought the mud panda and a cheap welder to learn to weld, it didn't go to plan but hey, here you are smashing out custom fabbed 5 links on old Mazda's with Lexus engines and Ford diffs.... I'm a qualified Vehicle technician and I'm confident there's still loads I could learn from you and I really do admire your efforts, commitment and passion for what you do. Keep pushing on Gingium, you're a true inspiration for me to get on and get a project of my own and tackle tasks I've never delved into before.
Much love from the UK!
Thanks for answering comments and what not, I know you do research and before and people don't realise you do. But it's abit of assurance for viewers. Keep up the great work!
ok please don't cut the bed too much, keep it clean
Miguel M Silva it’s already fucked because of the fuel neck, when he does a fuel cell and paints and stuff he will probably get a new bed from somewhere
Glad to see gingium taking his time to enjoy himself. Sure I wish for more videos but couple of weeks won't make me forget to watch his videos.
Good :) dont forget about me!
Been throwing you $2 on Patreon for like 5 months now and its constantly the best thing I spend my money on every month. Hope more people support you on there too I always wondered why you dont ask for support more often you desurve it
Make a custom bed floor out of diamond plate that has an angled hump contoured to the notch humps. Also, if you make custom wheel wells, it'd be interesting to come all the way up to the edge of the bed rails and share the same shape as the notch hump, but be longer so that an actual tire can fit in there. PS, you can paint the diamond plate black or even just bed-line it.
Dude you're almost at 400k that's insane to think that you grew that fast
You might consider boxing the top of the coil mount as it can take quite a bit of force if you tag a pothole.
Right? I was thinking "Why not just bridge those two tubes with vertical plates and then drill mounting holes for the coilovers??"
@@Drunken_Hamster I have seen air bags set up that exact way. The question next is are you willing to add how much weight with that setup? Tradeoffs to be made..
As a mechanical engineering lover, that suspension is a fat nut😍. Amazing job Caleb, you have come a long way since 27k
this video was really nicely edited dude! Keep it up!
Great video before working! Glad i saw the notif
I used to watch your Skyrim videos, you've come a long way. I'm proud of you :D
You’re killing it!
Ive been chugging rum and that skyrim scene was a fat nut. Keep up that awesome work bro
each video you upload is better than the previous one! All time favourite youtuber ever! Have fun on the vacation!
Y3ss new vid is heree, life is great at the moment
I can’t do patreon but I do watch ads and like all your videos ❤️👍🏻
Thank you very much
I think your panhard rod is cool. Great video editing.
You a wavey dude, Caleb 🌊🌊🌊
Loved the little HowToBasic style segment when you went to get saw blades! 😂
I've been watching gingium since may of 2016 and the fact you listen to skyrim music while working brings a whole new level of respect lmfao
Have fun on your holiday
hey gingium... I told you so... awesome content keep up the good work and drift truck looks amazing
loved this video! really fun to watch because the way you edited it!
YOu have parts swappers and than you have gingium, 'oh thats in the way' cuts it off and than fabricates another piece....
Really underrated, just saying
Thank you
Just found you tonight. Killer job man. Never seen a 4 link done wanted to do one to my 65 El Camino. Doing a good job keep it up man.
Oh and the triangles are "gussets". Lol cheers m8
Love the video and the way the truck is turning out. Looks so good
Me gustan muchos sus videos, saludo desde Costa Rica 💙🗯️❤️🗯️💙
Wonderful video Caleb! Thanks for the SkyRim soundtrack. Best wishes and Peace Out!
Love ur vid have a nice Vacation Sir Fabium
I can't wait to see how this beast is going to handle!
Killer vid man..
Doc
Upland,Ca.
I really love this build, dude.
Yeet! Nice video!
Fantastic build man keep it up!
The music was really good on this one. It had sort of ASMR vibes with you working to it.Also the cannel "Project Farm" might help you with cutting costs, when buying things like sawblades.
Welds are mint bro👌🏻👌🏻
The reason it's like that is because if u have it parallel during the movement of the axel up and down the axel shifts from being center depending on the length, in this setup the axel doesn't move side to side at all at full droop or under full compression, alot of off road 4 links won't have a panhard rod instead they have 2 of the 4 links mounted in the center of the diff and the other 2 mounted on the ends of the axel and on the frame the links are mounted just like they are here
you should put a roll bar in the bed with lights on it, but try and make it streamlined like, hear me out, an avlanches. but you know. actually cool. maby use square light pods to match that 90s look
Daaam dude, the suspension is looking sick!!!!
you should look into steel-it. it’s a really good product. it’s durable and is weldable. plus looks sick
5:48 Did I just watch Hot Fuzz? Nice one
make the wheel wells for the bed out of a see through plasic of some sort so you can see the wheels, that would be sick
do a weekly live stream on patron of you cleaning the shop
Not a bad idea!
I would be a patron but i'm about to spend a shit ton fixing my bmw and adding a bigger turbo in the process lol
Ryan Burkett you would have a cpl of dollars spare each month then surely? Lol
Good video bud help me alot
Honestly, when I started watching the channel one of my favorite things was that Gingium would specifically ask for constructive criticism, and usually directly address actual issues.
We've come a long way, but there's still something new to wrestle with.
Also, GINGIUM CANADA TOUR? xD
Great stuff to give me ideas for my b2200 build. You have a great setup. I would just a few little things on my mine
Keep it up, I’m loving the drift truck!
You can get the coillovers more far out, put the coil on the gas tank side ,just swap the location if the coil it self, nice work man
The sawblade edit killed me lmao. I'm going to be doing sketchy suspension work on my daily to slam it and your vids give me motivation to actually go through with it 👍🤙
Don’t ... don’t do that
@@klassenkustoms9932 just doing a mild body drop on the front, its fineeee 😂😂
7:25 I was an adventurer like you once, until I took an arrow in the knee. The back half is going along nicely.
good video
ight this is some next level shit, you got my patronage.
5 dollar patreon here love your channel keep up the good work
Project is looking great! Maybe consider some sort of tonneau cover for the truck bed if you end up seriously modifying the bed to help it seem more street/sleeper?
Enjoy your v'cation!
Like Peter McKinnon getting into your editing
It’s gonna roast tires after this 👌😯😮
Anyone notice better production quality I'm liking it
You deserve patreon support more than any other TH-camr I watch, don't ever feel bad for reaching out :)
Thank you :)
Inspiration
Next time you butt weld two pieces of pipe together, try making a sleeve and rosette welding instead of a plain old butt weld. Much stronger, and there's easy guidelines you can follow on the Baja SAE ruleset that will give you solid joints that can safely and reliably bear load.
I knew you were going to upload today
Please paint and rust protect the frame before putting that bed back on
He would do that, he need get welding done first
You should paint all that staff , after you finish to prevent rust and also look nice
Teo Politis he will, don't worry
This dude really went from doing forza videos to learning welding and mechanics , proud of you
From Skyrim
Thank you! 😎
Gingium :)
Try higher heat when welding it'll make the welds come out a lot better, keep up the good work
Dope shirt man. Mazda love
I love your vids Ginny ❤️
Good work man
Still haven't found a game as massive and good as skyrim
If you’re ever feeling fab-y you should re vamp these to a cantilever set up!
Have a great vacation!
Lmao rocking the skyrim sound track.
This is cool men
You could also triangulate the upper control arms and not have that bar at all
love the videos
Installing your coilovers more in angle, would help to absorb a lot better and work/feel better on the road than a straight setup, I think it would be bouncy/stiff, unless if you set your bump adjustment really soft 💁♂️ but your build is sooooooo nice too see progressing
I have an idea... hear this out. Where you have the frame brackets for the front of the links, you have them boxed off. Instead why not link them together, and around the driveshaft put a hoop so the driveshaft doesn't interfere, that will stiffen up everything and also put a hoop around the driveshaft for safety in case you drop a ujoint while drifting.
You can also put then panhard bar on top of the axle
Ran the tale of the dragon 3 times today on a bike. First time ever. Videos don't do it justice. At least on a bike.
Can you please dim the vid when you start welding, but other than that I love the way the truck is coming man ,I’ve put several people on your channel and they like it just as much
Bugs me to see all that pretty fabrication then there is just that gross ass fuel tank😂
5:53 sounds like a Lowe's or Home Depot commercial
Yaaassssss
You should make the bed have a hatch going down to the suspension so if something happens when you are not at the shop you could check to see what it is at the side of the road.
