I weld all the time. I haven't burnt myself in a while, thanks to Tommy's safety tip.

"Thank JCR for giving us a stiffy" is probably one of the reasons Tommy makes me laugh so much lol

Weld thru primer is a good thing to spray on the parts prior to assembly to allow the areas joined together to have inner rust protection. water will get in between the rail and stiffener, you want this area painted wkth the weld tru primer.

How long did that take you? What welder did you use? I think the pervious owner of my 95 2D 4x4 XJ busted a few welds and I get a popping from what I think is body panels that have been a little stretched. Have ordered the stiffeners but have not much experience in welding. Have always wanted to though. That said, I’ll be getting a welder and the stiffeners and doing it my self. Any help or advice is much appreciated.

@RickJamesBish 8 жыл бұрын

I'm assuming the spacers mentioned go between the rock sliders and pinch seam ? Any recommendations on getting new holes drilled in stiffeners to match up with holes on frame where sliders mount?

@PabstBoys 8 жыл бұрын

+Rick James Bish We aren't running those sliders, but just got off the phone with Handicorn and he said, "Use the pinch weld to locate the sliders front to back since they already have the holes in them. Push the feet tight against the frame and mark and drill. That's going to get them real close."

this might be my favorite channel, but it is hard to get subs when there are not new videos every week..i think these guys have real jobs they have to work around unlike some some other channels that have big sponsors and only need to make youtube videos. (i am a proud PB Roadhouse subscriber)

@UseLessInLife 8 жыл бұрын

From what I know more content daily is better and over 10min videos get better ad revenue but yeah I figured they have jobs etc

@PabstBoys 8 жыл бұрын

Yeah, we have jobs. The 10 min video thing is pretty crappy though. It's a lot more work to make a shorter, more entertaining, well paced video than just upload the uncut long edit. We would like to get popular, but not at the risk of making less quality content. So, we're not gonna game the system and post crap videos on the regular. We are coming up with a few things that will help us upload more regularly. We just have to work out our budget constraints. We may even go on a fan funded model if there's enough interest. We have a lot ready to go, it's just a matter of having the time and the resources. Thanks for your input guys. We love making the show and we're glad to have you guys in our audience.

@BuccYJ 8 жыл бұрын

awesome like allways... btw. how many Ampere did u you use for the welding?

@PabstBoys 8 жыл бұрын

+BuccYJ Anywhere from 90 - 150 depending on what spots we were working on. There is some thin sheet metal in spots. It's kinda hard to gauge a solid number with the little Buzz Box we have. I find wire speed to be a more important factor.

@BuccYJ 8 жыл бұрын

+Pabst Boys the wirespeed depends on the power u weld with. btw. nice cartoonpic of you guys at the beginning

@PabstBoys 8 жыл бұрын

+BuccYJ Right, but wire speed on a Buz Box like ours really just adjusts your "stick out", so when you only have "A' through "E" Amp settings, you can really fine tune it with the wire speed. Glad you like the new Logo. We've got something coming really soon about it.....

@MrGalaxieman 5 жыл бұрын

Do you weld these all the way around or just stitch weld them on? How do these compare to other brands? I noticed a lot of other companies run clear to the front where the bumper mounts are, is that a big advantage or will these perform the same? Thanks! I really appreciate these videos

@brianwolford5084 5 жыл бұрын

If you want it to go all the way to the bumper there is another JCR kit to buy that stiffens the bumper mounts and steering box area . It mates up to that funky angle on the front of the JCR stiffener.

For a long term Jeep build, has it caused the lower rail to rust out faster since it hold dirt and water more? Mine is rust free now, so not looking to compromise that really
