It really is cool to see the progression from the “rather exuberant” guys from the early episodes, to the respected craftsmen we see today. Jimmy, Jeremy, thank you for letting us appreciate the skill you guys possess, and #Powernation thank you for letting these guys become who they are today. I know that I will appreciate the #Carcass show for years to come.
Well, I hope you don't forget to put a top reinforcement bar on the shocks hoop, because all that tension from the shocks will bend the chassis inward. And the brackets for the axle links seems too weaks. YOU GUYS KEEP ON MOVING, EVERYTHING GOES VERY WELL.
This is a great video. Thanks for doing it. You do create very nice welds with your technique and setup. The camera shots of the welding are also very good. TIG welding has an artistic aspect to it. When the helmet goes down all else goes away except the puddle.
You can’t run a steering box with a triangulated four-link front suspension; you’ll have uncorrectable bump steer. You either need to run full hydraulic steering, or run a three-link with a track bar.
Awesome video, how’d you make sure the axles were completely square before measuring for control arms? Plumb bobs? I’m assuming that the frame was leveled before any plumb bob was used? How about the axles caster? It’s safe to assume that you positioned the axles at the optimum position first? I’d love to do a build and am in the metal trades, you are all awesome! I’m curious if you got sunburns from welding without sleeves?
I gave you guys crap on the Trailblazer project because you used a SS model. There are a lot more 6s running around that are affordable and plentiful. However, this build makes plenty of sense and I am enjoying it. Good job guys.
I really love to watch your videos... I can learn more about how to build something with using a right tools and do it right way... Very helpful... Sorry about my bad english... Hope you can understand.... 😅👍
When welding near machined parts, especially with MIG anti-spatter spray is your friend. Also when welding near threads its a good idea to thread the piece in before starting... make sure your ground doesn't transfer through the threads.
How do you know the front drive shaft isn't going to hit the link? Without the transfer case in you are gonna get some serious plunge if your middle link ends aren't close to the U joints.
nice video !!! Please some more info on anti-squat and CG relationship, theory design. Where did you get this info and where can I get it? Why didn't just run a parallel set for hydraulic/mechanical steering like in the 4500 class Ultra4 cars? The best of both worlds.
I'm just wondering how they know / worked out the length of the coilover when it's at ride hight? How do they know what the spring wights will be and how much gas pressure will need to be in the shock? Good video guys From the UK
If you deal with a professional company you mock up the correct chassis height, measure the mounting points, corner weight your car (with the right load), then you send the data to the supplier. They will calculate spring stiffness and lengths to get you the ride height you have specified.
I always ask myself the same question, I would like to do a project like this, but nobody has answered that question and they never show it in the videos.
First time I've seen this particular video series. I really enjoy this type of creative fabrication. But where can I get access to a shop with a plasma cutter? To buy and build a simple shop with equipment like they have would probably cost more than my entire house. Seriously, I wish someone would do a video on how to economically build and equip such a shop, not just how to do projects in a completed shop.
I'm assuming you did alot of measurements and triangulation off camera. Alot of people may not understand the significance of tacking and measuring twicet before committing to a weld.
Hello, I am a newbie in this, could someone explain to me how they know how much the coilover is going to compress with the weight of the vehicle before mounting it? How do they know how long to make the upper supports?
So what length shocks did you use and how do you figure up the length to weld in your shock hoops? I am building 1978 2dr SJ the same way and I’m trying to decide what shock to go with. Thanks for any input. I have photos to send
I'm sure the average car/truck enthusiast doesnt have a clue exactly how much knowledge is needed to do a build like this...i mean just the amount of knowledge you need to have to be able to use the tools needed is allot....not to mention actually building it.
If you guys want to get to the 1million subscribers you need to do more give a ways. It doesn't half to be anything huge, sometimes its the little thing that go along way. And don't forget about your northern neighbors. That's right people from Canada watch your stuff and we want to be included. If you stop giving away whole cars and gave away some car parts people might be more inclined to watch. Also I thing anyone from Canada would gladly drive down to the USA to get one of your give away cars so don't count us out. Anyway just giving you some thoughts. Love the show keep up the good work and plz do some more third gen Camaro stuff, I have one with a 350 swap and your third gen videos were a nice surprise, BTW there making a huge come back right now since the alleged Camaro discontinuation
Maybe knocking some of that rust off before you complete your build might be a good place to start...then a quick stay over at the powder coaters or just about any place that will apply some kind of corrosion resistant material to that chassis.
@@thebuchanans2002 Urban myth... DOM is still welded seam, you just cant see it due to the mandrel process. It is no stronger than CREW tube, its only real advantage is a true dimension inside and out.
This is all a dream too have this done to my junk truck maybe one day but itd prob cost more than imma pay since i dont have tools or friends to help me do it!

Out of all the shows on the channel this is definitely the best one. Keep doing the crazy artistic stuff you guys do.
Parte 2 xfa. Saludos
Thank you for the reformat. Took Carcass from a show I couldn't stand to watch (with the reality tv vibe) to one I can't wait to watch.
+1 Yes, like the show much more now. Painful to watch before.
Y’all r the og of car building..1.2mil subs is a shame… there wouldn’t be a us without yall
THC keeps me at the optimal height too.
Thought the same thing when I heard that 😆
Facts.....on a multiple times a day basis!!

Nice, this is power of USA people, make America great again. Hello from Europe
the slot-and-tab design you can build in with the CAD software really shines here. this is just well-thought design meeting experience.
Props for actually giving a quick shot on what the welding machine was set at. 👍
The reason I just subscribed.
this is how you can tell if they understand their audience.
I've always wanted to build one of my own. I hope you guys are available for tech support over the next 10 years.
Glad to see deadheads still around.
Deadhead from Virginia right here!
Well, I hope you don't forget to put a top reinforcement bar on the shocks hoop, because all that tension from the shocks will bend the chassis inward.

YOU GUYS KEEP ON MOVING, EVERYTHING GOES VERY WELL.
Loving all the fabrication on this build !!!!
Did the plasma table come in handy? Idk if they said it did
I wasn’t even planing on watching this video but holy hell this is informative and interesting I love this channel man
I enjoy builds like these. Would like too see how it turns out.
This is a great video. Thanks for doing it. You do create very nice welds with your technique and setup. The camera shots of the welding are also very good. TIG welding has an artistic aspect to it. When the helmet goes down all else goes away except the puddle.
What a blast! Killer shop and suspension masters!
I would have built a different crossmember with clearance for the link bars, I mean you do have a CNC table...
🤔🍻
You're going to have crazy bump steer with that front 4link set up. You need to run full hydro steering or a track bar with that mechanical steering.
🤔🍻
Might as well do Leafs in the front at least if you're going to have that steering set up
Yep....they could of easily done a proper three link setup.....but those who know....know. And those who don't know....well.....
I thought they were doing a whole hydro setup
Exactly what I was gonna say then u already did😂

@Leo Coffy lol
What? These guy's are pro's
@Leo Coffy has nothing to do with grip and everything to do with the vehicle being unstable on the road
@@dumbestoyster apparently not
Wrong yes you can I have a few you have to do a bell crank set up for the steering
The production and effort plus knowledge. Respect
I COULD BINGE WATCH THIS CHANNEL ALL DAY!!
Thank you guys, from you I got lots of knowledge about automobiles
I enjoy these videos so much!! I feel like I learn more here, then when I was in school
Now about a mile of weld bead to hold it all together!
This show is the nickel back of automotive shows.

How are they getting to the nuts for the fronts rear upper mounts??
When welding near machined parts, especially with MIG anti-spatter spray is your friend. Also when welding near threads its a good idea to thread the piece in before starting... make sure your ground doesn't transfer through the threads.
I get the feeling you guys like that plasma table.
Nice work! Looks great. I’m building a 1978 Jeep Cherokee Chief the same way. Just waiting on my shocks from King.
Después de ver esta chapuza, no me extraña que en las ITVs miren los 4x4 con lupa.
Why don’t you sand blast the frame and axles?
Because rusted is all the rage nowadays They call it "patina". The rest of us call of cheap and lazy.
Because they are going to use some (product placement) coating you can apply directly to a mildly cleaned up frame.
@Leo Coffy me too😕😖
How did you find the anti squat line? So confused on that process. To me it looked like you just picked a random location near the wheel center line.
Been nice to stay with basics and talk about the geometry more , less I’m welding and cad stencil ,
Will you guys be gusseting the hoops for lateral support?
How are you going to run a triangulated front 4 link with steering linkage? You'll probably need full hydro steering
Are the doors going to clear sliding past some decent tires?
I am about to go postal!😄😃😀😊☺😉😁😂
First episode I've ever seen and reminded me of those shows on speed I watched growing up
Good day friend...good job...👍👍🇹🇱🇹🇱
Great Work guys
Looks like you guys have a lot of fun.!!!
4 link front with a chassis mounted steering box? How do yall plan to combat bump steer?
I’d like to see an detailed episode for setting up the gears in those axles.
What is the coilovers they used i was hoping they'd go into detail about them but nope just heres want we got lol
Doesn't that lower your clearance by quite a bit to have the center heim joints hanging down off the frame rails?
How do you determine the length of the Shock at Ride height? To make the Dummy Fab shock bar?
How do you know the front drive shaft isn't going to hit the link? Without the transfer case in you are gonna get some serious plunge if your middle link ends aren't close to the U joints.
nice video !!!

Nice build and great info. Just curious I would like to know who makes the 2 post lift your useing?
They sure have a good sponsorship of Dippity-Do
lol good one
Unity giving power for couple of suspension
Could you do all the welding with a 110v mig welder?
I'm just wondering how they know / worked out the length of the coilover when it's at ride hight?
How do they know what the spring wights will be and how much gas pressure will need to be in the shock?
Good video guys

I always ask myself the same question, I would like to do a project like this, but nobody has answered that question and they never show it in the videos.
At 16:36 it does not look like there would be enough room to fit a nut between the mount and the frame.
Later on you can see the nuts on, it looks very close, but they did it.
Pan Hard bars??? What about lateral movement? Or am I missing something?
Triangulated 4 link keeps its self centered so no panhard bar, but as someone else said, nobody runs 4 link front because of steering bump steer.
@@jorgyr36 Interesting, I dont see it, but I am not a suspension expert. Thanks.
Full Hydro....
I think I understand quantum electrodynamics better than the suspension physics.
Great work can’t wait for the next update
nice work guys

I could answer, but this question is a year old and you probably found the answer by now.
Did you guys do an episode on the frame clean-up?
If so, can you link it please?
What CAD program are they using?
17:30 You left out ORI's air struts. They're the best in the business! Off Road Innovations. Only downside is they're backordered quite a bit.
So what length shocks did you use and how do you figure up the length to weld in your shock hoops? I am building 1978 2dr SJ the same way and I’m trying to decide what shock to go with. Thanks for any input. I have photos to send

Its awesome I liked your video ,I'm looking for coilover suspension for my 1984 fj40 ? What do you recommend me ?
Altering the wheelbase effects the engineered steering Ackerman, unless you adjust the width accordingly, or alter the steering knuckles.
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙏
CAD - Cardboard Aided Design
Great job!!!
16:36 How are you even gonna tighten it up?
They sure like pointing sponsors stuff out repeatedly that most of us cant afford.
You can DIY most of them in your garage. Just as we do.
Why do you expect them to be broke like you?
They get paid by sponsors.
Maybe you would be broke if you weren't such a whinny little crybaby?
@@craftyukraine you build bikes bro.🤦🏿♂️
No links for the the “used” springs and “end links” ?
Good job 👍🏻
Awesome educational content! 😎👍
what kind of axles are you using? thanks
Thank you for sharing your video I get great ideas
Why not a triangulated shock mount? (Cool build:))
What axles are being using in this build?
How recent is this? Are these re-runs from years back?
what size of welding mire do you normal use. do you 75/25 argon/co2
Sorry I don't understand the tubing in a D O M? I'm assuming it's the strength?
DOM= Drawn Over Mandrel. normal tubing has a welded seam. much stronger in all directions.
Fancy term for seamless tubing
@@thebuchanans2002 Urban myth... DOM is still welded seam, you just cant see it due to the mandrel process. It is no stronger than CREW tube, its only real advantage is a true dimension inside and out.

Dam I miss Ian Johnson.
Same, watched that and gearz with my dad all the time after school when I was little
