Thanks I appreciate that. It saves me time knowing where everything’s at it took a while to get to this point, but I finally feel like I have a good workflow.
You Sir are a pure Genius! From one Mobile rig welder to another… your truck is by far the best put together, and organized piece of artwork I’ve ever seen! I am waiting on my pipe liners cloud umbrella. Ordered it today.. I know how important it is to not get too hot.. out here in Oklahoma it gets hot all summer long as you know. I have been rigging my truck out slowly but surely. Constantly moving things around but eventually I know it will all work out. Much respect sir!!!
@@godwinwelding7172 hey I really appreciate that it means a lot. You were going to absolutely love that umbrella. It sure makes a heckuva difference on those blue sky days. I’m making a few modifications and I’m gonna do an update video here soon.
Nice rig Man!!! You will get it all tuned the way you want it in time for sure. I hear ya on the amount of money you put into one to start with. It's ok to go cheap when you have to so you can get going. I've been very happy with Tidweld reels on both of my trucks. I recommend those when you get to it. As far as your coffee addiction goes.... I carry a Keurig Single Serve on mine!!! LOL!!! A real hot cup of coffee on a super cold Winter day goes a long way sometimes!!! You really have some nice and unique deals on your rig that I'm sure work well for you. That's the real deal there. Make it work for YOU and what YOU do!!! I always see people picking another's rig apart. They have no clue what they have it set up for. You clearly have it dialed and are open to advice. That is being smart right there!!! Kudos Man!!!
Hey, thanks for all that. I appreciate it. I’ve heard nothing but good things about Tidwell reels. Yeah there’s always something that is just that little extra that you keep going for me my wife got me an electric lunchbox. I can put some leftovers in and plug it in. It’s hot at lunchtime and after several days worth of sandwiches, a hot meal in the middle of the workday sure makes a difference.
Probably the most useful and organized truck put together with run of the mill, buy anywhere storage. I actually like this a lot more than the pipeliner style custom built beds
I was looking for information on metal fabrication and came across this video, I have to say this is such proof you are a true professional, thank you for sharing this information.
this is insane. i've never felt less like a man than after watching this. im finishing up my 4 years in the service and headed back to the chicago land area where im going to go to a welding school, and would eventually like to move to indiana and start ideally pipeline welding, but honestly any kind of welding to get started with. amazing video, thank you
Im impress the way you make your rig. You made a nice video with a bunch of details that I have to reviewed several times. Congratulations. You have everything for every situation.
Very beautiful and well organized work truck. Makes me realize just how unorganized my little rig is. I would look a lot more professional if my rig was more organized. Thank you sir for the inspiration!! I’m subbed up to your channel now and looking forward to new content.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. It means a lot. I did take a lot of inspiration from him. As I said in the video he is definitely one. We could all learn some from.
I’ve been watching Issacs Chanel almost since the beginning and he is a master of his craft for sure 👍 I also subbed to yours because I really enjoy watching guys with their 💩 together that care about their appearance and presentation and not doing a quality job every time is not an option. I am a sponge for knowledge and apply bits and pieces of it or all of it to my own work and you guys don’t know how much I appreciate y’all sharing this information with us 😊😊
Austin Ross sent me here , and goddamn , that is a dream rig . I’d go with a flatbed myself to avoid the commercial tag just because it’s a headache in my experience. This was a great video . Thank you.
Well thought out, super clean layout, loved the improvised solutions like coffee holder, & 'Hreat-stuff mod' to the cooler, the upside-down upper box with the DIY gas-piston. Auto closing shelves, the remote locking mechanism is a brilliant idea too. One of the best dedicated rigs I've seen, thanks for sharing!
A Ross said check you out. I’m sure glad he did! You have certainly NAILED IT!!!!!! It has to be a joy to go to work with what you’ve created. Well done indeed.
Thank You ! Awesome rig ! Love the cord hanging elbows, I’d have to figure some kind of gang cap lock for them. Those monkeys in theft mode jump right up, gray n go
Thanks I appreciate that. You can take a piece of 4 inch wide, flat stock, cut holes in them to line up with the elbows and then just set them on top and put a pin through to lock
Appreciate the video! Your Rig is awesome. We are taking an old 2007.5 duramax and building a rig. But we are truly starting from bare frame. The truck has a CM bed. We will be putting a cummins engine in it. Hopefully we can organize it similar to yours.
Buddy, this is slick. I'm geeking out about you geeking out. That clamping tab on the back driver side is slick. Can you talk about your clothing choices? I built a fence this summer and it was awful being in the garage and out in the heat fabricating and burying posts. I had to wash my work pants and welding shirt just about every day I worked due to all the sweat. Spent a fortune on pedialyte too.
you can make your own adult pedialyte equivalent with just sugar and table salt and tapwater.for near nothing, just the cost of a gallon jug to keep it in. Most of the cost of pedialyte is the sterilization heating at the factory and the transportation cost. pedialyte also contains some salts that you won't lose thru sweat, like potassium. Babies with diarrhea lose a variety that must be replaced as opposed to an adult who is just sweating.
You normally wear both pants and shirts more than once before washing them while working as some type of welder for 8-12 hours per day is what you're saying ?????!!
@@mxreese69r6 I'm a weekend warrior. To your question though, same britches, same welding top that goes over a t-shirt. Wear it for a weekend, wash it for the next weekend.
I’m no professional but one thing that came to mind with the backseat section is custom door panels. Maybe some with hooks or compartments. Since no one needs to open the door from there. Awesome video. Awesome truck.
You had me at “take my coffee seriously” lol. I have a 20oz Starbucks metal mug from 1995 that they don’t sell anymore and my wife says she’ll bury it with me. 😂
@@TempleThomas my ram truck is also red. I really like read on black theme I was really looking for an alternative to just chrome and shiny paint job so I'm gonna go with a black grill and black rims also and I really like the fire suppression idea thanks again many blessings to you and yours
This would be one Hell of a Welding Rig to set up sometime after ypu have been making " Big Boy" money for awhile. He has some really good ideas on how he set up his Rig .
I would suggest installing some ends to those hangers holding your hoses. You can install locks and have one bar/top to go across the top of your hose holders and just relock them before you leave. Hoses aren’t cheap and I just thought I’d throw that out there. Thanks for the video!
Great video and beauty set up! I have a 2007 chev single wheel one ton with a deck. Pretty bare bones compared to yours as I do strictly pipe fabrication & pipeline. And maybe a casing bowl here and there. Gave me lots of good ideas! Thanks for the informative video. You gained a subscriber
Beautiful truck and very well thought out. I've spent some time as heavy equipment mechanic and work up in the Pacific Northwest Industrial farming world with miles and miles of gravel dusty wash board maintenance roads. At the end of the day all my crap was bounced around with paint wore off and nuts and bolts scattered all over with tools shook apart and any written material a muddy soggy mess. Most all of my wrenches would be buried under said dust and debris. So ONE of my suggestions is to stay on the freeway. One of my earlier employers was so cheap that when I ask for a vise to mount to the service vehicle they refused. At the end of my employment with them I was reduce to using a half dozen five gallon buckets with "cheap" Chinese tools in the back of a half ton twenty five year old pick-up. I only hope you can get the hourly rate you need to be able to support the beautiful truck and new tools. THAT never happened for me! I changed occupations!!
Well put together truck only thing i didnt see you talk bout is a small first aid. Bandade, twezers for medal splinters, TUMS, ibuprofen etc. You have to be 💯 along with the truck
@@Austin-bw1wz you’re right I did not mention that I do keep a bottle of Pepcid in the door and I have a first aid kit in the center console up under everything. I forgot to mention.
Nice setup. I didn’t see in your links where you bought your pancake helmet. Also looked at those umbrellas, not cheap, did you get the 10 footer? BTW, do you like that Dodge? I drive an old 92 Ford F350 dually IDI flatbed and it also is a cab and chassis incomplete, I learned 6 years ago that it is registered as a commercial vehicle, period. Commercial insurance.
Sorry about that, I got my pancake from P/L welding supply. Here it is : www.plwelder.com/Wendys-Pancake-Hood--Z-Model-PL1084_p_1001.html I got an 8' Pipeliner's Cloud - yeah pricey but WORTH EVERY PENNY !!! I love this truck !~
Hey thanks for your video it great I got a Miller trailblazer diesel and I’ve got a 2017 ram 3500 I’ve been wanting to set up a welding rig you’ve giving me lots of great ideas so thanks again
Check out Bill Covert Service Truck Tour. On youtube. I was really impressed with how you thought out your truck. I am going to have to get that water tank system.@@TempleThomas
great vid.. I weld on my farm, have alot of pipe gates etc. have a trailer set up to pull with tractoralways looking to increase efficiency and you have a lot of great ideas.. thanks allot!
No doubt! I've been subscribed to Austin Ross TH-cam channel for a while now and I was watching a TH-cam short video of Austin Ross and he said to search up Temple Thomas welding rig tour (He said something of the like.). I rewatched that video 2 or 3 times, I was going back and forth wondering if i wanted to search up the video then i thought of Austin Ross as a friend and i thought of him introducing me to a friend of his, then i thought Austin Ross is a high quality person so I looked up Temple Thomas Welding rig tour, and you, your video, your pickup, and your camera crew definitely did not disappoint everything about this video is perfect. When I heard you say "Austin Ross" ,in your video, I said, "I'm definitely watching the right video." I hope you add the remote lock security to your toolboxes sooner than later. That will be sick. That was the 1st time I've ever heard of the idea of unlocking your toolboxes with your key fob. I'm subscribed to you since yesterday, and I am excited to see more of your content! I love all your tools. I can imagine you worked so hard to accumulate all of your things.
What state are you in? I have a pickup that I ordered new that’s almost identical (same color, same interior package, also a chassis cab, etc) only difference is mine a 2021. I wasn’t required to get commercial insurance on it though. The first 6 months I owned it, while I was finishing the bed and getting it set up, I insured it just like any other vehicle. I wonder what gives?
I'm in Texas and I initially tried to add it to our Progressive policy and they said it had to be Commercial. I got a Progressive Commercial policy on it - which as I'm logo-ed and a business I probably should have Commercial to protect me and my company better.
@@TempleThomas interesting. I have State Farm maybe that’s the difference. I have commercial as well now but was just curious as to why they was your only option. Nice setup though. Doesn’t get much better than a Flame Red dodge
There's a lot of expensive stuff on that truck. I wouldn't want to to park it somewhere to eat and come back and it be bare bones. Plus a lot of that stuff is out in the weather, the sun and rain and seeing that a lot of stuff is plastic and not the best UV stabilized, I would see that also deteriorating things. What about a nice stout gooseneck enclosed trailer that of course piped the generator exhaust outside, but everything else on nice racks inside where you could get it. I mean you could have some panels on the side of the trailer where you can get at the front of your welder to make adjustments, but it would lock shut when you are done for the day? Goosenecks have better turning radius/harder to steal.
I actually had a trailer and was going to rig that out first but somebody jobsites I go to a trailer just won’t work. I have a covered area where it parks we’re not working and I keep it close by and keep my eye on it. I try not to stop anywhere I can’t see it.
@@TempleThomas What are your thoughts on converting one of those those larger used ambulances or tactical mobile command centers into a welding rig. It's hard to find them 4x4 but they do come up once in a while for a premium. Would be nice to put some sort of ramp door in the back to make it easier to wheel stuff in and out of the box in the back, plus it would make one helluva work table if you had some stout cables holding it up.
I’m from Australia I have my welding business. These engine driven welders from Miller and Lincoln are not very accessible to us in Australia. I want to import one from the US do you have anyone that I can get in contact with?
I lay out the full tour of my welding rig top to bottom. This is a 2016 Dodge Ram 3500 with a Cummins 6.7 diesel.

Thank you so much .. and howdy fellow Texan !
Very nice Ute mate. Little thing I would mention is maybe add a first aid kit
Very good point, sorry I didn't mention it - there's one in the center console.
this thing looks clean as hell! only thing I'd add is some sort of cover for the hoses
Thanks ! I'm going to try a stretchy motorcycle helmet bag.

Dare I says it “the perfect rig!”
Can we get a video about the different machines and what’s their preference of work?.
Thanks ! and you got it I'll get that out soon !

I only hope you can get the hourly rate you need to be able to support the beautiful truck and new tools. THAT never happened for me! I changed occupations!!
Lots of great ideas for being organized and being efficient! I am a retired auto body man in your area but I still love to weld.
I appreciate that it took me a long time to finally get everything kind of laid out right
Really nice Rig setup
Nice rig man !!! Professional for sure!!!
Awesome truck man 💪🏾
Thanks 👍
Well put together truck only thing i didnt see you talk bout is a small first aid. Bandade, twezers for medal splinters, TUMS, ibuprofen etc. You have to be 💯 along with the truck
@@Austin-bw1wz you’re right I did not mention that I do keep a bottle of Pepcid in the door and I have a first aid kit in the center console up under everything. I forgot to mention.
Good looking truck bud. Im in Hill county as well. I own my own heavy equipment field service company. Just wanted to say hi and say great job.
Well hey there Kevin. Thanks for stopping by and thanks for the compliment.
Great setup, Milwaukee fan myself, didn't catch if you have, but grab one of the Milwaukee packout first aid kits ( you never know ).
I had no idea they made that. I have one I put together in an OtterBox in my console. I’ll take a look.
Nice! You have a great setup there. Thanks for the video, well done.
Thank you so much !
That is one wicked badass welding rig.
Can we get a part # for the gas strut? I have an identical box I have been wanting to mount on my flatbed and now know how I want it
go to gasspringshop.com .. it's a Gas spring 6-15 Stroke 150
Now I definitely want to redo my welding truck. Nice rig
Sorry about that - kinda :) Thanks !
Nice setup. I didn’t see in your links where you bought your pancake helmet. Also looked at those umbrellas, not cheap, did you get the 10 footer? BTW, do you like that Dodge? I drive an old 92 Ford F350 dually IDI flatbed and it also is a cab and chassis incomplete, I learned 6 years ago that it is registered as a commercial vehicle, period. Commercial insurance.
Sorry about that, I got my pancake from P/L welding supply. Here it is : www.plwelder.com/Wendys-Pancake-Hood--Z-Model-PL1084_p_1001.html
I got an 8' Pipeliner's Cloud - yeah pricey but WORTH EVERY PENNY !!! I love this truck !~
@@TempleThomas Thanks brother!
What's the model number on that small Milwaukee metal cutting circular saw? Awesome welding rig thank you for showing
Thanks so much ! That saw is 2782-20
Awesome truck man, love it!
Hell of a rig. A nice goal for myself to get to one day
Thank you I appreciate that !
Dam nice setup. very efficent.
Thank you so much !
Hey thanks for your video it great I got a Miller trailblazer diesel and I’ve got a 2017 ram 3500 I’ve been wanting to set up a welding rig you’ve giving me lots of great ideas so thanks again
Glad I could help
Nice work, thank you for sharing 😊
On my Ram I took out the third seat, built a wood box, 6" sides, 3 front cup holders. Put a 1/4 birch lid for 4" storage
, 2" top catch all.
That’s a good idea. I’d love to see pics.
Check out Bill Covert Service Truck Tour. On youtube.
I was really impressed with how you thought out your truck. I am going to have to get that water tank system.@@TempleThomas
great vid.. I weld on my farm, have alot of pipe gates etc. have a trailer set up to pull with tractoralways looking to increase efficiency and you have a lot of great ideas.. thanks allot!
Thanks I appreciate that. I really hope it helps.
Beautiful Rig
Thank you !
Thanks for sharing your great ideas.
You are so welcome! Glad I could help
This is an amazing video and pickup. Keep up the hard work, sir!
Thank you so much !!
No doubt! I've been subscribed to Austin Ross TH-cam channel for a while now and I was watching a TH-cam short video of Austin Ross and he said to search up Temple Thomas welding rig tour (He said something of the like.). I rewatched that video 2 or 3 times, I was going back and forth wondering if i wanted to search up the video then i thought of Austin Ross as a friend and i thought of him introducing me to a friend of his, then i thought Austin Ross is a high quality person so I looked up Temple Thomas Welding rig tour, and you, your video, your pickup, and your camera crew definitely did not disappoint everything about this video is perfect. When I heard you say "Austin Ross" ,in your video, I said, "I'm definitely watching the right video." I hope you add the remote lock security to your toolboxes sooner than later. That will be sick. That was the 1st time I've ever heard of the idea of unlocking your toolboxes with your key fob. I'm subscribed to you since yesterday, and I am excited to see more of your content! I love all your tools. I can imagine you worked so hard to accumulate all of your things.
Have a good day!
Damn nice rig sir 👍🏼
Thank you !
beautiful! awesome work
Thank you very much!
Beautiful rig being a dodge man for welding rigs I question the gross vehicle weight .
Nice truck! Very real world functional.
Thank you so much
Awesome rig, cool cat too
Thanks I appreciate that. She can be pretty rotten too 😂
Beautiful rig. Will for use this as a reference if I ever build one
I’m so glad it was a help to you. Thank you so much.
What state are you in? I have a pickup that I ordered new that’s almost identical (same color, same interior package, also a chassis cab, etc) only difference is mine a 2021. I wasn’t required to get commercial insurance on it though. The first 6 months I owned it, while I was finishing the bed and getting it set up, I insured it just like any other vehicle. I wonder what gives?
I'm in Texas and I initially tried to add it to our Progressive policy and they said it had to be Commercial. I got a Progressive Commercial policy on it - which as I'm logo-ed and a business I probably should have Commercial to protect me and my company better.
@@TempleThomas interesting. I have State Farm maybe that’s the difference. I have commercial as well now but was just curious as to why they was your only option. Nice setup though. Doesn’t get much better than a Flame Red dodge
Beautiful setup !!! Love it
Thank you so much I appreciate that
That’s a bad ass rig, that’s my dream rig… A red on black Cummins
Thanks a lot - not gonna lie I love this truck !
There's a lot of expensive stuff on that truck. I wouldn't want to to park it somewhere to eat and come back and it be bare bones. Plus a lot of that stuff is out in the weather, the sun and rain and seeing that a lot of stuff is plastic and not the best UV stabilized, I would see that also deteriorating things. What about a nice stout gooseneck enclosed trailer that of course piped the generator exhaust outside, but everything else on nice racks inside where you could get it. I mean you could have some panels on the side of the trailer where you can get at the front of your welder to make adjustments, but it would lock shut when you are done for the day? Goosenecks have better turning radius/harder to steal.
I actually had a trailer and was going to rig that out first but somebody jobsites I go to a trailer just won’t work. I have a covered area where it parks we’re not working and I keep it close by and keep my eye on it. I try not to stop anywhere I can’t see it.
@@TempleThomas What are your thoughts on converting one of those those larger used ambulances or tactical mobile command centers into a welding rig. It's hard to find them 4x4 but they do come up once in a while for a premium. Would be nice to put some sort of ramp door in the back to make it easier to wheel stuff in and out of the box in the back, plus it would make one helluva work table if you had some stout cables holding it up.
Those cooler lids ur supposed to put water in them thats what the plug on the inside is for
Yeah, pulling that lid off and freezing it every day before work. It’s just more work I have to do.
I’m from Australia I have my welding business. These engine driven welders from Miller and Lincoln are not very accessible to us in Australia. I want to import one from the US do you have anyone that I can get in contact with?
Let me ask my welding supply company
Dam awesome rig one stop shop I love it 👍🏿💯
Thank you so much !
BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much
Nice job. I did a rear seat delete like that for tools in a Gremlin, but you have done a much nicer job.
Thank you so much.
