As much crap you give me I know you love it haha!

Start a channel for the Maro!

No hablo espanol, moy picante. Gracias! Planos es JD's Garage $20-25

Sounds like the exact pan I ordered. I made my table and then ordered the pan. Should have done it the other way around, smart!

You just have to prep your area and you'll be fine with TIG! Good luck!

I am using Fusion to generate the Gcode and then the normal grbl program. I think I selected dark mode which may be why it looks different?

I am sure you just saw they just released the THC but it is a pretty expensive option that many people probably dont need....maybe you do though. I think the budget friendly option is to build a duplicate Y axis (without the motor) which would keep everything level. The cantilever design is the worst part about the build...much more to be desired. I spent a good amount of time getting mine adjusted. If you tighten it too much, it wont roll. Go to that point and then back it off some. It will never be perfectly level, atleast not from my experience but has not affected cutting much. If you are like me, I do not need my cuts to be perfect, just close. A CNC plasma I use to speed up my fabrication process, not looking for perfection perfectly. Let me know if you need help, I am happy to try! Thanks for watching!

Oh man, traming that arm is driving me insane. I get a 5mm (1/4in ish) drop at the end, and I just can't dial it out. I'm combing yt looking for tips on how to deal with it. I might be adding a support rail...

@@timandrew4515 I found a video where someone added a caster wheel to the arm that rides on the table frame. I think for a quick fix this might work perfect. Havent used the table too much recently, so havent had the urge to fix it either! Let me know if you find a solution!

A few reasons actually! 1. Ram was the only truck manufacturer to offer coil springs both front and rear. I am thinking this would aid in ride quality 2. Because of the coil springs, the axles are already 4-linked (using that term as a general statement) 3. The axles are already proven to handle the torque of a diesel and that of modified Cummins. I am planning to build my engine up. Although most heavy duty trucks will. 4. Speaking of an engine, I wanted a 12V Cummins as the power plant and although a 12V was never installed in this year chassis, a 6.7 Cummins was and figured it may help with the installation process as 6.7 and 5.9 are very similar. 5. I never thought I would find this chassis (2018+ Ram 2500) that was affordable honestly. I managed to find this pretty local to me for a very reasonable price delivered. I never have fabricated like this before, and figured if I messed up shortening the wheelbase, at least I have the axles I could use or sell to make up the money I spent on the chassis. I realize some will not like it isn't on a Ford Chassis, and although that may have made it easier, I am pretty happy with how my build is turning out. Turns out a bunch of Dentside guys actually swap onto Dodge/Ram chassis, although typically 2nd gen chassis!

VBENLEM 32 x 30 x 2.5 Inch... www.amazon.com/dp/B07XP6ZN7N?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share FYI, The pan they recommend is nicer than the one. heavier gauge metal. Also note, this one has a drain hole, nothing you couldn't plug but be aware. Thanks for watching!

@@barnbuiltbeaters I put a 1/4 turn PVC valve on the drain hole with a 90 elbow pointing down. I drain the water into a 5 gallon bucket after every day of cutting. I do have to lift the pan a little bit to get some of the water out since there is a lip on the drain plumbing. Works great! I don't know what you would do if you didn't have the drain. I mean trying to dump the water without the drain would be a mess as the pan is fairly thin and weak, you have the supports in there and the X axis would be in the way when trying to lift it to drain it . . . love the drain! LOL HIGHLY recommend putting in a drain if you buy a pan without one. With that said, a bottom drain might be better than a side drain . . .

@glenrock672 the pan JD recommends is a lot nicer than the vevor. Much thicker gauge. I admit it'll still be a pain to drain though! Haven't done so yet!

@@barnbuiltbeaters Since I didn't get that one, I'll take your word for it, but it was $130 versus $85 . . . Being a cheap ars, I went with the Vevor! LOL

I thought about doing that but this seemed safer. Also got multiple use for moving the cab and taking the hood on and off!

I am still playing with speeds and plan on increasing as it has been helping a lot with dross. Thanks for the insight! Only one nozzle available for my Plasma (YesWelder CT2050) I believe. CNC does not have THC only z-probe. JD's Garage is working on THC but have not yet released it.

That's awesome! Let me know if you run into any issues! Thanks so much!

That actually isn't a bad idea! I have an Etsy shop where I have sold the digital files (3D print) to my Wheel and Tire Fitment Tool. I could sell this too. Would you be interested in the plans or just the physical tool?

That would depend on the price, very similar one is being sold for 200

Thanks! I am just using the stock Ram body mounts for simplicity sake!

This is a Dragway Tools 2 Ton Hoist. I bought it because it was one of the highest lifting hoists out there. It's great I'd buy it again!

It has been working pretty good for me! The 5" throat has gotten me a few times. Wish it was a bit bigger but I've just had to work around it. For the price, I can't complain too much. I have had blades break on me a few times. Not entirely sure why that is. I don't believe I am putting too much pressure tightening or pushing material through. I just swapped blade manufacturers and this blade seems to be holding up well. Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks for the suggestion! I will look into it! I have done similar with pallets and casters!

I do not envy you! Drywall is terrible! Mine isn't perfect but for a garage It is fine and honestly the seems you can see, aren't too noticeable. First time doing drywall so I'm happy! Good luck on your project!

Good luck! I'd imagine it'll turn out great!

Haha it was a little sketchy! I just made sure to take my time with it. What would you have used?

@@barnbuiltbeaters My cnc plasma table.

@tjs_welding_and_fabrication guess what the next video is going to be about haha! Just waiting on metal and every so slowly 3D printing parts for it!

@barnbuiltbeaters I have some vids on building my table years back. Best thing I ever did. I use it for just about every project I do.

@@tjs_welding_and_fabrication I will have to take a look at your vids! I am/will be building a JD Garage CNC table. Not having the budget, nor the need, for a professional table I figured this would float me by until I can upgrade in the future. I am assuming itll play a critical role in my build(s)

It is better then the original 40 year old chassis! Better then a new truck....probably not haha! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! the tool works pretty good and wanted to share with others! My truck does not have a lift on the new chassis nor did it on the old chassis. hope that helps you!

I have the entire body mounted to the new chassis. I just sold my old chassis along with my wheels and tires as the wheels didn't clear the brakes. I'm working on a new video of a tool I developed to check wheel/tire fitment prior to ordering. So new wheels and tires soon! Keep your eye out!

Thank you! Trying my best!

No payments yet I'm always throwing money at the dang thing lol

Yeah I know it is wild! I wish I could do more in my videos like other automotive channels. However this is just my hobby and I only get a few hours each day! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the sub! Holy cow man that was a rant haha! Where did that come from haha? All I can see is you can't stop progress. Progress isn't a straight line. Unfortunately, the cost of goods always increases. These last few years were a bit crazy though...

How in the world is this cheating lol. I been working for like 7 or 8 months on this swap. Thanks though dude!

@@barnbuiltbeaters I’m kinda just playing, but what you have there is really a 2018 dodge 😁 parts for the Ford chassis are plentiful and cheap. My daily is a 60 f100 with a 1uz dumped right in with the a340 too. The whole Lexus costed me 500 bucks from a homeless woman.

@user-vh7ki7xu7o it is basically a Dodge I can't lie! Not exactly what I intended when I first bought the truck but here we are. Sounds like a cool project! Can't beat cheap!

@@barnbuiltbeaters That thing is awesome, just a lil jab lol

It is a nothing right now lol! It will be a 12V Cummins with a ZF6 (manual) transmission...one day lol. Thanks!

@@barnbuiltbeaters awesomeness cant wait to see it

Thanks! I am always open to criticism too. I am trying to get my audio and video quality a bit better. seems I am always fighting one or the other! Video quality much better in this video but had issues with my mic! Thanks again!

@@barnbuiltbeaters music selection and your eye keeps darting between I'm guessing monitor and lense? But video is beautiful audio I didn't have any issues. Looking forward to more videos.

I appreciate the honesty! What type of music do you think would be better? Have any ideas where to find it? I struggling finding music that I like and something that bothers me about my videos too. Yes my eyes! lol. Thanks!

@@barnbuiltbeaters im guessing it depends on your musical tastes but a quick search of royalty free music will bring up a decent selection. I couldnt paste everything i found in here. it would look crazy. good luck though. I cant wait to see your channel grow.

@@reecemhovah I have done that before. I have a hard time finding the genre I am looking for...not even sure what I am looking for. I will keep it mind though. I am excited to see it grow. Thanks for the advice, the sub and, stick around for more!

Hey thanks for subscribing! A rotisserie would be awesome for welding/body work. However they take up a good chunk of room when not using. I've never really welded anything vertical or upside down so this was a learning experience for me. Turned out good though! Keep watching the body is almost finished being mounted. Waiting on some body mounts in the mail to finish filming/editing the next video!

@@barnbuiltbeaters I hear ya, I did see a video not to long ago were a feller built his own rotisserie and it could be disassembled when not in use. But you are getting it done and that's all that counts!

Thanks man! Hope everything has been going well for you! been a LONG time since we talked. You going to the 10yr?

@@barnbuiltbeaters if there is one then yes. I’m still messing with old fords so I can’t complain lol.

@TheOneStopPonyShop I've wanted to go but always out of town for Thanksgiving. Would be curious where people ended up, the jobs they are doing and, how they changed better or worse. If you like wrenching on old Fords I know of one that needs alot of work! 😉

Holy cow 1800! I bought my welder and the supplies for this for a few hundred less! that is crazy! It was a good welding project after not having welded for a few years!

Wow 12! That is crazy. One project at a time!

Thank you! I enjoy the entire process of filming and editing so I don't plan on stopping. Just takes awhile to do by myself! Thanks for watching!

Obviously didn't mean for it to fall off like that. Probably should have used my engine hoist to remove. Live and learn!

What do you mean??? You are flying out here to paint the rest of the truck so what's another bed to paint haha

I almost did that a while back! Ended up going this route and although it has its challenges, it has been working fantastic!

Yes me too (duh)! I'm hoping it'll be cool after all the time and money put into it. Shooting for 700+ HP out of a 12 valve Cummins. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't!

I just did a while ago! I cant wait to see the project complete

@idliketospeaktoyourmanager8962 thanks I appreciate it. New video will be up soon. Sorry been super busy recently!

Thank you! It can be a challenge to film yourself. Sometimes it isn't in the best focus, your head is cut off, mic problems, etc. I try my best and always trying to improve in the next one! Dont forget to sub if you haven't already! Thanks!

I just clicked and subbed on your channel. It looks very unique and I have to watch some videos when I get a chance!

Thanks! First time doing any of this! So far it is turning out good. Just takes a while especially with normal day to day life!

@@barnbuiltbeaters Its a process for sure but it looks like you have it under control.

I need a friendly neighbor! I have no one to help me. Occasionally I can convince the girlfriend to help haha. Hey if you like what you see don't forget to subscribe if you haven't. Thanks man!

@@barnbuiltbeaters yes sir I hit the subscribe button. 💯🙏 heck you at least got your girlfriend to help out, my wife won’t even help me out but she always want’s her vehicle worked on and no help there lol either.

@@savagesoldier9627 That is what I will be doing this weekend! Brake job on the girlfriend's car. Maybe this is why she helps me... haha! Thanks for the Sub!

@@barnbuiltbeaters Right on air you got a keeper and great videos by the way, stay blessed look forward to seeing more videos.

It is a YesWelder Ct2050. It does AC/DC TIG, Plasma with built in compressor, has HF start, Pulse TIG, and dual voltage. Lots of nice features typically found on higher end machines but at a fraction of the price. Took a risk but absolutely love it and have convince a few friends to buy YesWelder's MIG machines as well. Honestly seems almost as nice as my old machine, a Miller 210 Syncrowave that I sold to found my shop build. Check them out!

Do you mean pick up the bed from the side rather than the back? You could do that for sure. However, I dont think my hoist goes up high enough. The size of my shop might make it difficult to move the hoist around that way and if you spun the bed 180 around while lifted it would be in the wrong orientation to set on the frame.

Wow, that must be a big saw! I looked into converting a wood saw into a metal saw and kind if came to a dead end (within my skill set atleast). You need to drastically slow them down as wood saws spin roughly 10X faster than metal saws. Some people do this with gear reduction and others have done it with VFDs. I believe VFDs work with 3 phase,not sure sorry? Im not experience with VFDs to know what im doing anyways and modifying a gearset to work on a saw seemed like a challenge as well. If you can get a VFD to work, that is probably your best bet as you can control the speed.

Hopefully that helped some! Sorry i cant provide much more help. I was kind of stuck too! Other solution is to sell it and use those funds to buy another saw that will do both. Thanks for the sub and like! This video is outside my normal content. The channel revolves around my truck project. I just needed to make this work to continue!

It was so long ago i couldnt quite remember how we put it on lol.
