1080p or 144p... the quality choices! Awesome upgrade for the truck!

You NEED to tack the metal before welding. Im very surprised it stayed somewhat in place

Welding student here. -don't weave -hold the contact tip closer, your stickout is too much/too inconsistent -increase your voltage a little -maybe think about self shielded flux core wire if your machine is capable. it's great, you run it very hot and you need no shielding gas, penetration is also very good (lol) im not perfect and i don't mean to criticize, but just run straight stringers, a little hotter, and hold that gun closer and be consistent. Then again, i've only ever welded in a booth, i might be total garbage outside in the cold and wind :P

It took me 5 years but I finally have my own truck to be able to use this. Thank you brother.

I don't even have a truck I just like this type of stuff and I find your vids relaxing

Never skip the adds lads! Thanks for the inspiration. Good job showing your full honest mistakes and experience of your build. I love watching you work! Your art inspires me.

can you do a off road bumper or brush guard video?

"not today, Zurg!" lol I understand that reference

This video really alleviated a lot of the concerns I had about how complicated a rack like this would be to make, and also I'm really glad you explained why it's important for a rack like this to be airtight (which makes me sad knowing the last rack I had and put so much work into was definitely NOT air tight...).

Man, id love to see a series of videos where you pimp out a truck or van or something.. with an apocalyptic look obviously

Haha December is the first month of summer for Australia, the down side is that the average temperature is 35C (95F).

Man, I love the variety on your channel! From knives to closets to headache racks! Keep it up!

lol "Not today Zurg" Eli is Buzz Lightyear confirmed

Awesome video man. I would love to see making more custom stuff for your truck.

So glad to see how much you and your channel are growing, you deserve it all man.

Wow, that does look a lot easier than I would've thought. Nice job, dude.

I'm definitely going to do this when I get my first truck

I like the diversity from your usual weapon builds

easily one of your funniest builds Eli. the result looks pretty nice too

awesome build nice job on welding. you inspire me to do stuff like that it's very cool thanks

About the rusting. A closed, air tight space will rust faster than open area. Water will condensade inside and it will have no place to go, so there will always be moisture inside. Foam isn't good because it will still leave small air pockets in there. Professional approach would be to have holes on undersides to let any water out and then spray the insides with rust proofing wax, for example Dinitrol ML. You can get them in spray bottles with as long straw as you will need. But you are not going to have any problems in many many many years because you used thick enough metal, so just go with what you have now :) It looks badass!

I fucking love coming home after school and watching your videos not one bad one! Honestly. I've watched every single one up to date since I first subscribed on my old YT account !!

That is some satisfying painting.

Thank you so. Much for listening to yourself and us mainly yourself

Like the way you make fun of yourself...makes the vid informative and a little funny at the same time. Keeps it less boring

Can't wait to get back in a Ford truck! Keep it up. You should do house calls to make your stuff for people.

Hey ZNA, a surefire way to improve your welds is to try actually holding the torch near the thing you are trying to weld. Most people tend to have less than a yard of welding wire between the head and the piece of work, but some people have less than 6 in! I prefer around 1/2 in. of exposed wire.

Great job. The full screen offers great window protection, the handles are handy and look good. Overall, you did a great job and it looks good on your truck. Cheers

"Weld" done, Eli.... brushie, brushie, brushie, LOL!

your neighbor cracks me up, she seems nice, a little worried about you. its sweet.

I'm sooo happy you drive a ford ranger!

Damn man the camera work and lighting is crazy on this one. Love it! Good job!

This video felt like an A Team episode.... Keep it up.

you are getting WAY better at welding and keep up the amazing content

Can't wait to see this thing preform on the waves!

this was awesome. really expanding with the ideas.

I love your videos. You have a really great gift.

I don't know how you do it, but kudos to you for keeping these videos interesting throughout. I mean, I don't even OWN a truck, but I watched this one all the way through. You probably have some talent as a writer/director buried under that macho, workbench exterior!

Got a new sub. Your commentary was hella funny and really good instructions. Keep up the truck vids brorrito

eli u dope as hail and you vids always make me happy keep up the good work bro and know that we all love you

Your welding skills have definitely improved man, well done

Nice build! Keep up the good work. Praying for your Success. God Bless.

You've motivated me to actually unbox that mig I recently got and learn to use it.

zednought you are by far my favorite youtuber! i realy like your work and you have inspired me to get into crafting, thank you!

Good job 👍 have bin welding since 19 and seen a lot but that idea 💡 if expanded foam is great I can use that in some areas keep it up

Nice build sir from Arizona. I live in the white mountains. So I get the short and cold days.

Love the smell of hot steel in the morning.

Thats a nice Ranger. I love it

Almost at a million Eli, congrats!

I think you are the first youtuber to say "thank you very much for watching" instead of "thanks for watching" you deserve an Oscar

I know the struggle but you are awesome, keep going!

that build is pretty dope man

Great job again, keep up the awesome work

Well done. I'm currently planning out a similar build for my extended bed ranger.

use that bed armor stuff to paint it. great work love the project. gives your truck a mad Max feel.

LOOKS BADASS BRO!GREAT JOB! 👍 😎

Love your videos dude. It was such a good choice when i subscribed.

3 years later and I still think that jump suit is really cool.

Great job & pretty decent welding! I think everybody with a pickup truck should build that for their trucks. I'm probably going to build 1 like that 1 you did as soon as I can sell my motorcycle & car & buy myself a much needed 4x4.

Dude that came out great!!

Your welding has gotten a lot better

The channel is growing so fast, Awesome.

I don't know if someone already said this but the bevel on the steel allows for deeper penetration of thr metal giving you a stronger weld. there are actually diffrent types of bevels depending on what position/material/and type of welding your doing.

thanks for making videos at fast as you can I know it's hard but you still do it

I really enjoy the music you use

man, I just want you to know that you're doing a great job and that I wan't you to keep doing this

I always used engine enamel when painting stuff like that . its a good thick paint

This was awesome man!

This was actually a cool project, I liked it :)

your welding beeds are improving :) great video!

nice ranger ya got there eli

if you bevel the end of the two pieces it will make them super strong, and if enough stress is applied area it should break around the weld. keep up the great work!

very well done dude

man! I love your videos! They really do inspire me Dude! I want to make one now!

This is going to help a lot. My dad wanted me to make him one and your video his going to help a lot.

you should do more vehicle modifications (When it gets warmer), This was really freaking awesome.

You always come up with badass shit

Any1 else remember when this was uploaded? Like sitting there one day and then getting the notification, and seeing it at the top of the videos list

@ZNA Productions awesome job man. looks really good. I take a lot of ideas from you when I'm building stuff. keep it up, you inspire alot of people :)

Eli I was a welders assistant and the biggest pointers i can give you is to tack weld the corners, bring the gun in a little closer, brace your hand and go a little bit slower.

looks really good

your neighbor is a real OG.

Keep it up proud of you 😊

superb dud keep on trucking

For paint: Bedliner!! Also, If you ever need it. You could either weld a piece of pipe to the end, Or cut a hole in the steel and welt it into there (It might be stronger that way) and make a simple frame that's removable (bolted) to use as a ladder rack. I did a similar thing (Out of wood though).

Good stuff Eli

this looks amazing!!

His welding is improving.

beveling the edges for two pieces you're welding gives you more surface area to lay down more weld, making it stronger

great design. i may do somethin like this on my truck. btw im a forever sub if you keep drivin that ford

Hey really like the videos keep em goin

good job bro I love these videos dude there awsome and I enjoy them so keep up the good work

sweet this was a cool build

damn son. you should start a business making these

If you use a big flame that produces a lot of soot over the area you are welding and cleaning it off for the weld, it will help keep spatter away from around your weld. Just remember to clean the soot from the place you want to weld before you weld. haha my wording sucks. its 10am and i've yet to sleep... kinda brain dead.. also i've not eaten anything in like 20 hours haha. About to go eat right now. Nice video btw. :3

continue doing what you are doing m8

You should coat the rack with bedliner. It's way more durable than any kind of paint.

I have been watching you since you made your knife video and subed around 200,000 and you are so close to a million and just looked at you subs good job

Epic project :D Killer voice over as well XD so epic
