This week we finished the custom flat bed on our 6x6 Ford Ranger! We bought brake lights, blinkers and spare wheels with tires from EbayMotors and got to fabricating.

@@GrindHardPlumbingCo I have a roguefab bender too. For thin wall .093 wall 1.5" I machined plugs with hydraulic cylinder seals and made clamps that hold them on the ends. One has a fitting in it. It's attached to a 3000psi regulator. That's attached to a pressure washer. I bend it with 2000PSI in it. YOU MUST BLEED ALL THE AIR OUT OF IT BEFORE IT GETS PRESSURIZED!!!!!!!!!.It makes absolutely perfect bends. Almost 0% deformation.

I REALLY enjoy listening to Ethan "talking out" his ideas as he fabricates. He is a fabrication Jedi and I ook forward to the new shop build and him being able to enjoy being able to work with room to move around. The video quality and editing is getting better all the time and the little sugues to the drone and other footage nicely compliment the rest of the video. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇

I was thinking you could program an Arduino to handle the rear steer. Use a sensor on the steering column to determine the angle of the front wheels and use that as input for what the rear should be doing. You could have a few selectable modes: In phase (aka crab), out of phase (wheels turn opposite direction of front), and manual mode with a joystick.

The electronic module for the door dinger is located near the left side of the stereo. It's a little black box with a speaker that can be unplugged and reset. Just remember to plug it back in because it also controls your wipers for some reason.

19:14 - this is why I love (not just enjoy) watching these guys at work in the GHPC Shop. Ethan & Edwin alone out there is a reminder of Olden (punned) Times, when Ethan on the metal lathe was the most fascinating tooling/machining fab option in the shop. those were pre-Swindling Swindler’s Swindled Swindle days. now, there’s a proper set of GHPC Rascals to rip & rev RPMs, and break stuff for Dad to not only fix/repair, but upgrade to eventual Military Tank specs Spring’s around the corner. I look forward to dustbowl action & new shop construction. the fellas have overpaid their dues by working on the crusty clapped-out concrete floor, beneath the legendary wood-burning stove.

I love seeing the use of those Harbor Frieght Hercules power tools. My die-hard Snap on worshiping coworkers chuckled when I brought mine into the shop. Then they would one at a time pick one up and try it out, and were surprised by them. I beat the snot out of mine and they keep on ticking! For the price, they're hard to beat. Great progress on the "Red Ranger", and as an old Argo Vanguard owner, I can't WAIT to see what other 6x6 you're hinting at!

You should use the Arc Droid to make some plasma drag tip templates. I cut a thin wall 5" dia. tube a 1/4" long in the bandsaw. Welded an 11ga 2"x5" tab to the side. Used that tab to clamp it into place & cut out a very repeatable 4.5" hole with the hand held plasma. This was 25 years ago. I'm surprised I don't see others doing this.
