No Chad. Why you all have to leave? Feel free to give us more of the 2 hour ones. We love you and the family. The joy and jokes are always coming.
Stacy your a mean mom your poor boy disco dancing and your ripping him LOL
Chad Stacy its always a pleasure to see the episode just puts a smile on my face
thank you and God bless
Good video.
Keep up the good work ,
Exhaust manifold that you welded ,
Consider brazing on top of that to stop Fracturing from two dissimilar metals , cast & Steel , Not saying your wrong !
Braising over the top with a torch torch will soften both Metals , then the Brass would be
Redundancy from cracking along the cast , then sand paint with ceramic coating
Just a thought , I have seen a lot of fractured cracks , just Concider
Great Job to your whole team
Thanks for the tips! This manifold is cast stainless steel, the pieces added are also stainless. I hope it all stays together with all the exhaust heat.
Getter Duuuun
Chad shouldn’t you mount that shock at full bump so the bumps engage before the shock bottoms out? Or am I missing something?
Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. We’ll probably have an oops video coming soon.
I still need to make spacers for the bump stops to contact.
Chad…you are a wealth of knowledge. Your ingenuity and skills never cease to amaze me.
such a joy to watch the channel everyone acts normal no show just do what has to be done thanks for being who yall are
Sounds like a supercharger is gonna land on top of that engine. Nice work guys.
Grizz is coming along quite nicely, Good Job Everyone
4:39 you guys should know by now, that there's no such thing as a problem; only opportunities to shine! 😉👍
Your explanation of why and how your Fabrication skills will work out for the application
Very impressive at all of the work you and the Team are doing Great Content and Video
Thanx for sharing your experience and thoughts
Have a Great Day 👍
God Bless You and your Family and Team
Thank you very much!
Love the patience ,good job gentlemen
I've enjoyed this video the whole gang seems to be showing a little bit more personality instead of being serious about making a video how much more enjoyable to watch
in central California our roads are the worst, thanks to our crooked Democrap Govenor..........
Great show guy's. The roads in New Mexico are probably the worst. Liberal Governor has sent all the state tax to Ukraine.
Thank you for another great video. Have a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year.
I live on a dirt road in GA where the county scrapes twice a year unless the school bus driver complained about it there are spots where it is red GA clay and great video keep up the good work God bless from GA stay safe
Another Great Video 👍 Great content, keep up the great work! Perfect way to start a week.
I live in Montana. Our roads are so bad, we only have two seasons! Winter and Road Construction!
Keep up the good work and shows. I really like them both and also your closing. It makes me stop and think.

Tell you what the roads in Upper Peninsula of Michigan are just wonderful!! Lmfao. Pot holes as big as a full size Chevy. But I will never leave. Home is were the heat is.❤ Don't ever buy a vehicle from Michigan!
Matt called you out,,to come to the Matt off road wrecker Game, and Murphy’s diesel both , it’s inhe last vlog , The link the money the time and the place, let’s go , get bust on a sand puller thanks BigAl California ,,,,,praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
I live in a city in Mid Michigan with a college there and 1 of our main streets in town had pot holes for 20 plus years just patches upon patches some I swear would swallow a semi truck an always all of you do a fine job on everything you build and work on and here's to HOPING AND WISHING all of your family a HAPPY and MERRY CHRISTMAS
The streets around here are 110% exactly the same as being on a potholed, washboarded old back woods, dirt, logging road but different!! 😂
Wishing you and your whole family a very safe and joyous Christmas.
talking about wheel hop i owned a 1967 Camaro 327 300HP with stick shift and monoleaf springs yet know about wheel hop
Oh ouch!
I know you've been through Tooele before... some of our potholes need a lifeguard.
Roads? Man I live in California we have the highest taxes and the worst roads in the country! Don't get me started!
Our stretch of 24 mile road is horrible. They were last repaved in 1992.
You asked for comments on peoples roads I live off county maintained road I have 1/2 mile of road that I have to maintain my UPS driver told me my road is the smoothest road in the county
It's truly awesome to see all the love between so many friends. I know for sure this is a very tight knit family that goes above and beyond for each other. Great video....
Hopefully the fan adapter you made doesn't ruin the water pump bearings might be out of balance just fill in the weld while you have it apart then put it back in the lathe.
I bet chads wife keeps him smiling like that if you know what I mean. No one is that happy all the time
There are some roads out here so bad Chad. You had to take bags of quick patch asphalt with you.🤔😃🤣✋🏽🤷🏽♂️.
Someone who has a lot to be grateful for the man above.
Back in 09. I was pretty close to not being here talking right now will more than close.
I'm alive thanks to someone who isn't here anymore.😞😔.
I had a whole liver transplant.
And I've been eating out hospitals a few times for other things like my daughter says they can't kill me. Thanks God.
You all take care and be safe.
🙏🏽🙏🏽👍🏽🤙🏾✋🏽😊😎🙋🏽♂️.
Texas roads are horrible!!!! I've even seen people put big flower plants in them to keep people from hitting them to keep from ruining their rims & frontends. UGHHHH!!!! 🤦🏻♂️🤬
You guys are awesome thank you for another great video ❤
lol, makes you wonder where all that tax money actually goings
Chad has problems with the hereafter. Like What Am I here After?
Our pot holes have pot holes that's how good our roads are in Tennessee
Hay Chad. I like your Fabrication work. I think with your Brothers beating on your bench vice you have to google Fireball tool hard tail vice. YES it's pricy but with those barbarians beating on your vice and table you can see your soon going to be in the market for a new one or a replacement... :) Love your advice and calm demeaner. :)
Agree, Those vices are incredible. When we brake this vice that's likely what we'll replace it with
Yeah they're sending all the money for our roads to other countries
And wasting it on bicycle trails.
Love your channel and the quality that you guys put into your builds. With that said I've commented a couple time giving Matt heck for not wearing any eye protection while grinding, cutting and drilling. I have done metal fab work starting in the 60's, I've had cutoff wheels explore, drill bits shatter and send pieces everywhere, I've had a wire off a wire wheel stuck in my left eye lid have worn eye protection ever since. You only have one set of eyes protect them.
Come to Illinois if you want to see bad roads.
MATT sent me here to hope you get finished in time for the March off road games.:)
All the best to everyone in 2024, from FIVE ISLANDS NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA.
Here in Texas the orange construction signs now read “ROAD CONSTRUCTION FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS”
They maybe trying to fix it but they are making a career out of it. 😢
I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area... our roads are okay. They damn well should be, considering all the taxes we pay!
It's the other drivers who are the problem. Way too many of them! There are two speeds: 10 mph over the posted speed limit when traffic allows (one car length between vehicles) or creeping along so slow the speedometer doesn't reguster in bumper-to-bumper traffic jams.
Ever see a woman putting on eyeshadow using the mirror in the sun visor while she's driving at 70 mph? Or a guy eating cereal from a bowl with a spoon?
It was here that I learned what a nanosecond was... that's the time between when a stop light turns green and the guy behind you honks his horn.
A friend I worked with lived in Santa Cruz and commuted to N. San Jose five days a week for 35 years. That's 10 miles of 6 to 8 lane per side of divided freeway followed by 12 or 15 miles of two lane, twisty, windy mountain roads that the daily commuters drive at 70 mph and are only ever slowed by the occasional freaked out tourist who makes the potentially fatal mistake of driving there during commute hours. He broke the steering wheel of every car he ever owned and had carpal tunnel surgery on both arms, twice!
I thankfully no longer commute and can avoid the peak traffic hours.
I learn so much from you. I am betting your manifolds will increase horsepower some, close to headers, with the increased volume. Rear suspension looks amazing. Great work. You and all of your crew and family have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. God bless...❤❤❤❤❤
10:41 Because It's CAD board.
I live in California.. city to city the Roads vary.. but in my city they’re alright.. constantly Road work surrounds me.. I live near Route 66..
Chad, your willingness to go the extra two miles to get what you want is impressive.
Another great video bishop. Merry Christmas to one and all.
Beautiful header collector. When I was drag racing many years ago we always were concerned with exhaust flow and head/collector flow. Chad's looks absolutely fantastic. Keep up the build looking forward to more.
I buy road Hazzard for my tires for a reason sure it makes them $20-$50 more expensive up front but when a pothole inevitably takes out my sidewall I save $200+
If ya want to test your rims, come to Michigan, the potholes are known for removing fillings & setting off air bags!! Lol.
Nice work, btw. Certainly appreciate all the chuckles! Thanx !
I love starting my week with Chads Fab and you guys inspired me to build my first CAD project…(cardboard aid design) i built complex bend and turn bracket to mount something and i am quite pleased with it! Thanks for the inspiration and brotherhood you share!👍👍😀
I'm not saying our roads in Tucson are bad, But last week I hit a pot hole and ended up having lunch in Hu Nan province China. Just an observation but your floor needs repainting. ...just sayin.
I live in Pennsylvania we Notoriously have the worst roads in the United States by far. ask any Trucker, Guarantee they say PA. LOL
Don't bring your 1/4 million dollar Motor coach to alaska if you want to keep the lower fender and body skirts clean. The roads are rough, bumpy and lots of frost heaves
When traveling into Louisiana from any adjoining state the road conditions change dramatically from good or fare to bad, it will wake you up if you're asleep.😞😞
I’m originally from Alaska so every spring once the roads start to defrost and all the bottom layers under the dirt start to defrost it’s pot whole city everywhere it’s like bugs bunny came in town and just dug little holes everywhere good times
The pot holes here are so deep i seen a guy cat fishing in one two days ago
"What is the meaning of life" ? you asked. The answer is "42" ! [I'm serious. Go research it !]
I'm from West Virginia and we have to have WV inspection sticker on our windshields to drive on what they call roads. And reality is the roads need inspection for our vehicles they are in terrible shape.. But that's what we pay taxes for. Lol
i get so anoyed when ppl drive with thoes small tyers on ther offroaders
press 2 sizes bigger on then rimm is wide... get som grip... thoes this bicycel tyers are no good
on a KAWASAKI..
Anyone else pick up on the subtle reference to Matt from Matt’s off road recovery?
“Unsafe at any speed”
How many remember what that is from??
the roads fall apart and they skimp on the plowing.
This is an awesome build look forward to it every week! You guys all do such nice work but I gotta say, when watching you guys trace out brackets and cut them by hand I sure hope Santa leaves an Arcdroid under your tree.
As for road conditions,
We have the most perfect as long as you love big potholes.
We also have some of the best sloppy road repair.
We don't have to go off-roading we just drive all over all the bumps in the road.
But seriously, most of them are really bad roads.
our county here in Alberta, can't stop wash board from happing, every grader can't stop wash board from happing on our road
Come up to Davis county specifically Clearfield my road is the worst road anywhere.
Great job guys , love watching your show .
All the best from Australia.
The road near your house isn't that bad, when I was there visiting with you this summer. I think Indiana has far worse roads than Utah ever had LOL, and I live in Michigan LOL
Ranking of roads, my state, 50 and 50 clear at the bottom of the for the worst roads in the United States. At least that’s why I’ve been told my little town they’re pretty good but statewide we have the worst for states roads and the highest taxes for gas they should know where that is Washington state. Yes see where you go.
I enjoy watch your show. You guys were safety glasses safety protection. Oh I rose here in Michigan are big potholes.
Nomenclature...the proper name for what you call a "V-Band is a Marmon Clamp.
If you habitually beat on your vise like that, might consider getting a Hardtail from Fireball tool.
We just have horrible roads all over utah!! We live in Price and the roads are terrible, it's sad when the gravel roads are smoother then the main roads! I just installed a long arm on the jku and was the best decision just for the ride on our roads! Lol😊
Love the PSA at the end. Always look for things to be grateful for. Awesome! Love it!
Great job guys. Thank you 😊. Are you guys entering Griz in the wrecker games?
Is there anyone out there that could donate a old welding helmet? I'm disabled and can't afford one. Thanks for reading.
You can complain about your roads but you don't pay the gas tax CA pays and the roads in California still suck
Indiana has the worst roads. We have potholes that swallow semi tires. You will be able to tell when you leave Illinois and enter Ohio because the distance between will be the roughest on you and your vehicle than anywhere else you have been. Facts!
I watch your Channel from Cambodia, the highways here look like a bomb run.
Shouldn't the starter engage the flexplate or the flywheel? What is a clutch plate? Do you mean the clutch pressure plate?
If a road vehicle is required to be road worthy, why aren't roads required to be vehicle worthy?
Those tiny gussets on the bump stop supports will eear grooves into the coil springs. Would be better to have a cylinder to locate the coil springs.
i use all if the 12" in travel here in the Detroit area of Michigan. i would say the big 3 pay the state to keep the road bad for testing purposes
"This city has the best roads by far in the state"... any California city, "hold my beer".
TH-cam keeps deleting my subs I'm back now though
Roads? What are these things you call roads? We swing in on a grape vine around here....lol😂
Well I can probably guarantee that our Pennsylvania roads are much worse
Just found your channel from fab rats! Very cool work you do!
Thank you and welcome
I think roads world wide are bad. Some roads in New Zealand have pot holes and we have a lot of road cones very were. It's not good too ride a motor bike at night.
Are roads in Arizona are always under construction potholes gallor and some roads you can catch air if your going 45
This summer the county rebuilt the road passed our lake community so our roads are excellent!
Always a good informative show. Up here in the state of taxes , NY, many of the roads were cement. When they widened them it always pulls apart on the seam. The rest is just band aids on top of each other.
You all are the best! Merry Christmas! 🎄
Thank you!!
Merry Christmas!
you appearently haven't driven in illinois (not counting Chicago as all our road money goes up there
Merry Christmas to you and your family! Oh yeah our roads in Oklahoma are awful !!!
Chad's precise fab.
