    Great break down as always!
    Don’t blame you for switching things up and going with the 5x5’s.

      @VWJawbreaker The man, the legend, the Jawbreaker! Good to see ya, Gary. Loving that motor your building!
      Yes, while the numbers are theoretical, the travel gain with micro-stub 5x5s will be a great benefit!

    Great explanation of the parts you’re choosing. Nick sure does make it look easy. I’ve been welding for years on things like metal buildings and ships but you can’t tell by looking at my welds. My eyes aren’t that great any more and I tend to shake too much now which can make an ugly weld.

    • @thebinderbuilder
      @thebinderbuilder  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @DIYWilly WILLY! Yes, Nick does make it look easy. Homie is a master chief at cooking bacon for sure. Someone should make him a "Master Chef" t-shirt! Lol
      And, don't discount yourself. You're doing some impressive work on that build of yours!

      @timswitzer792 Tim! Sup buddy, sorry for the short reply on DM. Don't overthink it. Starting is the best practice. My cage-to-body welding is kicking my butt currently, but it's coming along. It's solid for sure, and that's what matters.
      As for stickers, t-shirts, and stuff. I've been playing on Kittl with some designs. I should have pulled the trigger a couple of days ago, but I move at the speed of cash. Stay tuned!

    A good way to work on your welding consistency is to practice doing some really long welds like that. You’ll start to get the tempo down.

    What torsion bar you run with the 5x5❤

    • @thebinderbuilder
      @thebinderbuilder  21 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Hey David, thanks for asking. I'm planning to get a custom torsion tube and not run a torsion bar. I will use coil-overs for the springs and shocks which eliminate the need for the torsion bar itself. As for the tube, @BuggyBarnFabrication (they are on Facebook) makes custom torsion tubes out of 2" x .25" wall DOM that are one piece tubes and hiems bolt directly into the bar, no casting or torsion bar eliminators are necessary.
      Thanks for watching!
