Friiick..... only the O.Gs will remember nick rocking the chilled poon and ricky lake in the og Mav. Such simpler times. Crazy how far the dudes have come in a few years though 👌🏼
Doug wear a respirator when welding aluminum the gases are horrible for your lungs ! Stainless you should wear 1 too . What size welding gloves do you wear doug I'll send you a good pair !
a weld that holds is a good weld. When finished with a bead hold the tig torch over the hot weld for 3 seconds till it cools down so it doesnt oxidize. It will be very brittle if you dont
As a Talon owner, I am so happy you guys are showing it capability. Welding aluminium look good for just starting. You should talk to your weld supply store about Dye Penatration for testing for weld leaks. It's cheap and supper effective to give you piece of mind.
I am fairly new to the channel It's taken me a few weeks to watch all of your older videos And it's band super entertaining!!! You guys got the best channel out there keep up the Great work!!!
I think Sous held back on those laps! Usually he is on the edge of sanity when he is driving. This time he was the least aggressive of you three. However you guys are living the dream and having a great time! Keep up the great work! I can't wait to see 2JP running again. You will have to dial the suspension in to keep it from wanting to stand on the bumper though. I think we all want 1500+HP on the dyno. You know, just to justify the billet block and the expense that went into phase 2 of the build.
Loved the vid! Reminded me of the old drunken shop vids. Love all the cool shit u do but damn.... those were what got me hooked. Rick keep the beard dude. Period 🖒🖒
My tip for aluminum welding make sure it’s clean material and filler rod. And if it’s thick or has lots of mass pre heat it even a few seconds of a propane torch just to boil the moisture off the material does wonders. Once it’s hot should flow amazing and to get the mirrored dime stack welds is just a combination of feeding speed of the wire and the travel speed and torch angle.
The Talon is a Great Machine and rips with that Turbo! You guys are such a Great team and probably envied buy many. The end of this one had me spitting my beer, shame on you guys! I really enjoyed the video and can't wait for J2Z to come back, for you guys!
I am proud of the rick beard. Im glad I didn't have to unsubscribe from the channel. I want to see rick channel his inner lumberjack. As usual love the channel and always awesome content guys !
Hell yeah guys I'm glad you are doing the upgrades to support the extra power! Can't wait to see this thing kill it. I know you want it running right away but take your time and get all the sensors wired and working before going too hard on it. Coolant pressure sensor and front lift sensors are awesome things to include.
contamination is your worst enemy on alluminum. clean clean clean. a little tip. allways bend the opposite end of your filler rod over so yo dont poke someone s eye out and it will help you catch the 308 rod that gets mixed in. whipe your rods down with alcohol as well.dont be afraid to throttle in and out when welding alluminum. i much prefer a pedal controller than a torch controller for this reason. the other big problem with alluminum is you only hav a 300 degree window to weld compred to about 800 degrees on stainless. gotta control heat. take your time. gett it hot super fast. run a bead and stop and let it cool
Rickbeard or Richbeard should definitely be his new nickname if he keeps the beard. (Which looks good) And since you said you read all the comments, I had this idea for a podcast or weekly/biweekly livestream, called "Shoot The Sh*t with Sous and Rick" ...Its entertaining just to heard you guys talk.
Can't wait to see how the xona parts work for you. I'm a cnc programmer for Tial and did the programming on the chra and turbo housing for the Evo kit. Evo has great stuff! Love your channel and hope to see you guys on trail sometime!
Yamaha wolverine r maxx?! We need to know ha. Also, more heat than you need at first with the tig. As you constantly make tiny circles. As soon as your puddle starts, cut back on the heat a little bit and "push" your puddle by overlapping your little circles. Good luck.
Awesome lap battle. I'd like to come wrench with you guys in the shop. You get to hangout with and work with your friends all while doing your favorite hobby. Seems like a great time to me.
2 suggestions for content. The Buffalo vs X3 max And Upgrading a can am with more tech. Like tablet dash mount. Obd2 gauges on the tablet. Sound bar. The can am is lacking compared to the pro in that department.
When Tig welding aluminum use a higher table or a lower chair. Finding your ideal posture makes a huge difference on the steadiness of your hands. Once it clicks its like riding a bike.
Doug try arcing you tungsten against a metal plate first... To make a little ball on the tip... Also when grinding your tungsten hold it 90 degrees to the wheel and grind around it twisting in your fingers as it puts the point on it. Then strick it against the ground or metal plate for the ball. Try it you'll look like a pro.
I find TIG welding to be therapeutic. With that said - make sure you do a leak test on those welds. Edit: With pressure is the only way you will find one :-)
Question for @SXSblog, Do you think the turbo would be too much for the Talon X chassis? Just wondering if you think the shorter wheelbase would be sketchy with the added power. Thx.
Yo preheat with the arc a little before you start your run and a pre flow and post flow on, and use it. Clean the hell out of the weld path then wipe with Acetone. Use a stainless steel bush to clean only scrub in one direction. Some tips to make aluminum easier to weld once you prep right it's easy to weld.
Only a few will remember the original dielectric grease reference, respect to those that do
Respect to u bro. I was there too
It's just as funny for me when doug says it!
Friiick..... only the O.Gs will remember nick rocking the chilled poon and ricky lake in the og Mav. Such simpler times. Crazy how far the dudes have come in a few years though 👌🏼
Indeed
The fact that it is the end of summer and well into fall and the gauntlet looks like it hasn't been touched! Less straight line, more gauntlet!
Doug, words of wisdom… An ugly weld that does it’s job, and holds, is a perfect weld. Haters gonna hate, but F’em ... 🤷♂️
true statement....if it holds it holds....
Bet you didn't like the video smh
Grinder and paint works wonders
Better to be ugly and not leak, than be a pretty weld that leaks like sieve.
Grinder and paint make me the welder I ain’t! Keep rippin y’all!
Yes a sxs vlog before bed, best way to end a night
Glad you guys finally give the Talon respect! Such a product! Doug’s second lap was epic.
You guys are the best. Can't wait to see 2Jp ripping again.
At the end when Rick is just in the back ground staring at a machine
For like a minute and a half ha ha haha
I think he went into standby mode :D
He was burning right for a minute there
We had to sit him next to a X3 to recharge, this model of Rick is equipped with inductive charging thankfully.
Rich goes into limp mode during filming. Smart unit.
Dammit The Talon is looking good!! I just might have to order a turbo for mine!!
Rick is killing the beard game for sure don't forget to lock that diff
Beard is in full diff lock mode 😎
2jp is absolutely beautiful, just a work of art!! Keep it up fellas, LOVE what all of you guys are doing!
Respect for admitting how difficult and the short comings of welding aluminum. It’s 90% settings, 10% stead pace.
Best sxsblogs random video I've seen in a while
SXSBlog continues to be the best entertainment on TV.
Grow the The Beard!
Doug wear a respirator when welding aluminum the gases are horrible for your lungs ! Stainless you should wear 1 too . What size welding gloves do you wear doug I'll send you a good pair !
Nice, I love how the turbo helps get power to the ground. The quiet exhaust is a keeper talk about a sleeper!

Doug can drive!! And everyones' aluminum welds start out worse than that, keep it up and you'll love aluminum more than mild or SS.
Rick the beard is rad!
Also I loved the good times hanging with the guys feel at the end, classic video stuff right there 👌
You guys seem like a blast to hang out with! Love the content!
Let’s gooo love the progress guys. Killin it
Bet you didn't like the video smh

That 2 j z is going to fly now
I've never missed an episode you guys have the best content on the internet 👏 😅😅
No need for power steering if the wheels are in the air. :)
The sound Doug has that welder maken is the fittest thing he has said yet
Dannggg some nice Tig gloves Doug 🤘🏻 glad y'all are getting some use out of the package I sent!
Love the video, especially Rick just sitting there staring at the machine forever at the end lol.
Best outro yet. With the exception of the one you put together from past outros.
Loved seeing you guys all in video at once

That talon is making me want to get one and turbo it 🔥
That outro was an absolute disaster and I loved every second of it! 😂
Most of what we do is an absolute disaster 😂
@@SXSBlog that’s exactly what brings me back every single time! The humor is unmatched and what you fellas have built is nothing short of epic.
Lovin the Turbo Talon, looks like the ultimate trail & track machine now! More Talon stuff!
One of the best “out-tro’s”...The Best! Awesome vid guys...👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Enjoyed this video so much, seemed like more of the old days in the original battledad garage.
I am proud of the rick beard. Im glad I didn't have to unsubscribe from the channel. I want to see rick channel his inner lumberjack. As usual love the channel and always awesome content guys !
You guys were filling up at the BP off 81 and 75, weren't you? I've been going there for years😂 Big big fan of you guys, keep up the great content!

Best outtro ever.....title should say wait till the end lol......GNAROUGHHHHHH
He doesn’t look like a teenager now... keep the beard lol
Big ouff
12/10 on the rick beard
Beard contest!
HELL YEAH BROTHER!!!
Miss just seeing you dudes just hang out messing around.

Awesome video I love the goofing off around the garage content it gives me a good laugh and the Rick beard is on point.
Gotta get a brick city fab cage on the talon.

Don't hate the name lol
I look forward to seeing the videos,and you guys having fun doing what you love to do.
Those mini trails are so sweet out there
They do!!!
Bet you didn't like the video smh
@@sgtcompton8838 bet I did it’s the first I do when I come to any video bud
The only way you should do, give them that pre mature 😂

Thanks for the hard work brother
Y’all should definitely extend the track and a bigger bank so y’all can get sideways
Nice way to end the night with a SXSblog vid!

Before you lift the torch, wait for the post flow to do its job. Less chance of cracking and less oxidation.
All four of the guys in the same frame needs to happen more often
2 suggestions for content.
The Buffalo vs X3 max
And
Upgrading a can am with more tech. Like tablet dash mount. Obd2 gauges on the tablet. Sound bar. The can am is lacking compared to the pro in that department.
Best episode in awhile love them all but awesome guys
Laughter is good 👍🏼

The beard is nice. I love it! -CIS Male
Nice video. I love the talon. I can tell you guys are big naral guys
Rick beard is legit... it was nice to see everyone on camera at the same time for a change.

Rick beard is looking strong and is a must stay.
Appreciate the info on the talon , great vid as usual. Thanks
Been waiting for this all day...😃
don't know why but Rick creeping in the back of the signing out was killing me 😆 lol

Air pressure and soapy water
@@bustinyanutz4195 Yep, I was always surprised to find a few after tiging fuel tanks, etc.
"Go sell some belts..."LOL!
"not a big corner guy" -> understatement of the year
Doug, im loving the Michael Jackson gloves early in the vid!😆😆
Thanks, best video in a while. Just "doing stuff with your friends".
Dat ga be da fast ting over there . Best 2jz stuffdoers family
@parkerbethke same bro

It’s time to watch some Big SXS Blog Guys, everything will have Big prefixes and I love the Big 2JP update

you all have way too much fun... keep it up
Love to see you guys in a newer YXZ ss on this track!
Rick beard is where it’s at🤘🏻
I use dielectric grease on pretty much every thing I own it’s great!
Have you tried it in the bedroom?
You’re videos are the best keep it up
Big rev guy..... on board.... tough break.... didn’t think about that lol
I’d like to see the “turba” talon run the gauntlet with some smaller lighter bighorn 2’s. Bet it would be the fastest time yet.
Hmmm....the end of the video makes me want to say. Kids....this is why we do not do drugs!!!! No truthfully love all you guys videos keep it up.
Word up to the boys with their machines down and trying to figure out how to get back on the trails again.
