- Join us in the Drift HQ garagemahal for an action-packed episode where Crickett takes center stage, breathing new life into the 2jz E46 with a custom-built bash bar. This isn't just a build; it's a full-blown tutorial on mastering the art of tube bending, packed with tips and techniques straight from Crickett's extensive experience.
We kick things off with a crucial radiator install, ensuring our 2jz E46 stays cool under the intense conditions it's destined for. Then, we dive right into the main event: constructing a sturdy, sleek bash bar that not only looks great but also offers enhanced protection. Crickett takes you through each step, from initial design to the final bends and installation, making it easy to follow along and learn.
This build is shaping up to be something truly special, and we can't wait to show you the progress we've made.

Now THIS kinda episode I can get behind. As a fabricator, I love hearing others tips and tricks they have learned. Just adds to my "how can I get around this issue" book of knowledge. Thanks Cricket!
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 happy to help! More to come for sure
these style of videos is awesome..
Weekend warriors gettin' sh*t done! Amazing content, fabrication, facility, and crew, as always.
I JUST bought a RF bender and am diving head first into tubing work, thank you for this!
Happy to help 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Nice video useful in a way that only Crickets explainers are.
5 3/16 will not be forgotten, ever. 😁
😂😂😂
Yall are the best how to Channel on CZcams!
Definitely more videos on how to do things like you said wiring, this video was very informative and i would definitely want to learn more on the in and outs on how to build a race car the right way.
Heck yea love watching how to videos an cricket is the man at teaching wish I could work with him an learn some of the knowledge he has in that cranium he is one smart guy🤘🏽
Gotta K Swap the Pajero jacked up on big mud bloggers and a snorkel. Plus the how to video breaks it down and makes it easy to follow. Definitely gotta keep doing these and it would be helpful if yall did a full How To 2JZ build. DriftHQ always putting out some banger videos
Definitely a wiring video
Try taking the clamp off installing it on the tube using your impact gun then slide the tube with the clamp installed in put your red pen in and start it made it so much faster for me
Ive done it that way a few times. Even used electric ratchet that works well.
Another tool to use to make sure your bends are inline is a "no dog" level. Eletricians use them for bending rigid conduit. Works great.
I enjoyed this video but honestly it left me with even more questions now specifically about bash bars
Cricket RF sells the clamping blocks separate so you can put the blocks in place first and its not so fiddley for doing bends.
Send me a link baby 🫶🏻 I need a glimpse of these warlocks
Love the bandsaw, fyi for any sparky bandsaw is perfect for unistrut. If in aus no need for a fire extinguisher or permit as it’s a cold cut!
I’ve been looking at cold cut saws. I got to check out one at sema that was amazing. They just 3k and up.
🔥🔥Notification squad 🔥🔥
Good times nicely done 👍
Yo Cricket, if you look at the fender to bumper mount you also see a gap.. If you make a mount for the bumper to fender at the wheel well edge (pushing that corner up it should twist and push the front headlight corner down.
Definitely Wendy great show
Notification squad Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥
I have a good metal stretcher too.
I know you do 😘
Great video
This was Great! A video about wiring is always welcome, no one looks forward to doing wiring.
Am I bugging or am I seeing a lot of horizontal lines. 😅
Crickett may have bumped the shutter 😅
Ok cool thought I was seeing things. Lol🤙🏼 🤙🏼
Yea that checks out. I definitely bumped into it
Definitely k swap Wendy!!
Looks like Adam needs to help get you guys some updated Fab equipment. Maybe reach out to Woodward Fab for a Bead roller, tubing bender and tubing notcher.
Rad Dan makes those rad cups and bungs that m6 and m8 instead of tapping

What would be a good budget build? Think, the least amount spent, maximum fun...
E46 probably the cheapest. Throw a cnc71 kit, weld the dif and install a in line hydro
@@CrickettFab Sure, easy to say when you are a fabricator! HAHA They rust so bad and then the wiring from factory has always been the worst. Then, they always use the smallest gauge possible to cut costs. I guess I can see why you say that, since it has been a prime chassis for so long that it has support. Love the support I see now, it was not even close to this when I raced in the 80's/90's. Road racing and I had many friends love the chassis but hated they had to rewire it and they bought brand new factory chassis'. I enjoyed the 944 Turbo chassis a lot then, so... Love the innovation, would have killed for an angle kit many moons ago. I think it would have been a great learning tool, I went a different direction and went to Rally school. Mostly, trying to find limits in the dirt because on the old tracks not much run-off and a lot of walls to hit. Ouch! Thank you for the reply!
Cricket is much smarter than he puts out
😅🫶🏻
Is the metal stretcher the blow torch?
Why not build a death kart for the k engine
That would be a good time
Now in some industries they refer to it as OJL (On Job Learning) because somehow “training” is offensive to some people 🤷♂️🤦♂️
I look at training as to do a specific job, learning is just getting knowledge about it. But I’m definitely not HR qualified 😂 so I don’t know 🤷🏼♂️
I agree with you. I am in the skilled trades industry and will always call it OJT and fell 100% if you are offended with it being called “training” you probably aren’t going to make it in the industry that you are “learning” for.
📈
Ok, I'll bite. Cricket, what is a metal stretcher? 🤔
Usually means adding more material 😂 not actually stretching it.
Came from GOT when the king is too fat and can’t fit in his armor and yells at his squire to fetch the breastplate stretcher 😂😂😂 there’s no such thing
K swap Wendy - Ranger need a proper engine
I had a good poop today also.
😂 lots of very good information in this video
😂😂😂 it helps
