One thing I like to do when welding a bung, or any threaded insert is to coat the threads in nozzle gel, or to coat a bolt in gel and insert it. The gel keeps your threads from getting damaged from splatter and the bolt helps keep the threads stable when welding. The gel keeps the bolt from getting cooked in.
I appreciate the details in the assembly of this part. Managing heat is essential as I have found out through experience. I Mig, so a project like this will take time. Great fab tips. Thank you
Love your work man, but I have to ask, why didn’t you add a rosette/plug weld to the bung? A lot of people I know that don’t take that step, end up breaking the weld at the tube. Also, if I were a guessing man, I’d say Ryan’s truck is going to be looking a lot different.
Hey guys nice video!! Quick question about the frame mounts. I noticed the one not welded you had the 90° bend hanging over the edge of the table. I’m assuming that to wrap around the frame rail on the truck. But on the one you already welded the 90° bend is facing up on the same side you welded the mount on. That gonna interfere with the frame mounting?
The frame that these mounts are going on is a C channel frame rail. One upper and lower link mount goes on the outside of the frame and the other goes on the inside
Okay I am looking at building a truck with suspension like this what all do you need to buy and what all type of coilovers land shocks and hard wear shocks I am doing a 70s Era ford prerunner
Is the top plate flate? If so it appears that the lower shock mounts aren't below the centerline between the rod end and bushing centerline so the link doesn't try to wobble?
Correct, the shock mounts are above centerline of the links. That is why the front pivot is a bushing instead of a uniball, the bushing will keep it from rolling from side to side. Its just another way of going about things
@@WingsWorldChannel i have been through this.....the front bushing will wear very quickly and if things get too sloppy you could possibly bend a shock shaft. Im suprised Giant would sell them this way...it wouldnt have taken much change to make them correct. Great welds though ;)
where did you buy the weld it yourself kit? did the pipe come with the kit or did you bend it yourself,if so could you send me all the dimensions and the degree you bent it at. I have a 1996 ranger I want to make it a prerunner aswell

Nice welds bro
Im in love with these trucks
When you do a tig video some tips on when you should double pass vs. when a single pass is good enough would be cool!
Very talented bro I wish I had the tools and know how that y'all do keep it up guys love the content
Secret Squirrel projects are supposed to be shared. Hopefully we see the truck soon.
Very very nice keep up the good werk💵💵💥
Nice work, as usual 😎 keep it up guys.
What happened to ah suh dudes ?

I didnt get it on video but the bung has 2 rosette welds holding it in!
Christian Ewing Right on, my bad, continue on
@@ChristianEwingVD so you did the rosettes after you had the whole thing welded up?
Lay heat on those bungs, get a 1.25 tap.
Definitely following this channel and this build looking at doing A 92 F150 myself
You should spray Eastwood internal frame rust encapsulator. The can with the hose
So sick!
I will never understand why the CZcams algorithm did not show me this two years ago.
A true pimp cuts some kerfs in the side plates so the internal webs can be welded from the outside.
Dang!! Laying dimes homie. Always quality work guys!
Great video love the weld it yourself stuff!
That right angle Milwaukee is a legit tool.
just bought a tee on the site. Still waiting for the hoodies!!
can you explain lower link pivot placement and drive shaft plunge . please
Awesome video, wish you had a link in the description of the truck the links went on in action. Potentially nterested in collabing for content. 👍

I like your efforts . 👍
THIS IS GOOD.
I’ve actually been looking for a video on this but everyone I find is very old and not very informative thank you so much
I’ve been on the fence about going from deavers to links. The deavers work well. Night and day between the two though
subbin, i dont even do prerunner (would love to but live in DFW) but i just love fabbin
So sick yeeeewwww 🤙🏼
Nice video man
PARABÉNS ótimo serviço!!!!
Hi, what is the thickness of those plates?
I think I want to do this to my '47 Ford pickup truck.
Okay I am looking at building a truck with suspension like this what all do you need to buy and what all type of coilovers land shocks and hard wear shocks I am doing a 70s Era ford prerunner
You Happen to have the Filler Rod #? I never heard anyone use Bronze for Tig'n. Something I would like to try.
Do you think you can weld it on mig with gas? Or do you think it will warp it too much?
What kind of material do you use?

Drilling and adding a grease zerk for the bushing will help some.
Could you tell us the thickness of plate on these, and the Tube?
Matti Cone 3/16 plate work and .120 wall tubing 👍🏼
Wouldn't it be a good idea to have some drain holes where the shocks go too
Haha you were already thinking the same thing I just commented
where did you buy the weld it yourself kit? did the pipe come with the kit or did you bend it yourself,if so could you send me all the dimensions and the degree you bent it at. I have a 1996 ranger I want to make it a prerunner aswell
Get a prefab beam kit going next please
why you dont paint links inside that way they dont rust so fast
Why TIG over MIG? Real question. I’m MIG certified. Why not MIG is it just a finish preference?
Great Video Guys! Im digging the builds and in depth series on sub components. Happy Holidays from NorCal!
Damn daddy
Silicon bronze is brazing and weak. If you clamp the weld spot to a plate of aluminum it will pull all the heat that would warp it out..
Any cad files available for this? I wanna make my own instead of buying the kit
🇰🇿👍👍👍
What gauge/thickness is that material?
No dislikes yet, let’s pray.
Can i join you guys ?
Holy Adds Dude! Was excited to see a new video but man there are to many adds. Maybe post more videos and you wont have to blast us with a Apocalypse.
What rig is that for?
Peterbilt
No ah suh dudes in this episode. 😕
It got lost in the ads lol
Gaintmotorsports we'd site sucks
How thick is the plate?
