Now JC as hard as that lady works you should give her anything she wants for her birthday. I think a strawberry bed is small compensation for all her hard work. But if that is her wish then it is her wish and it should be fulfilled. Happy upcoming birthday Mrs. JC. Oh yea great job on the truck...

Glad U both R feeling better. It is plain to see that Ur workmanship & knowledge is A-1, 1st class & as professional as it gets! No one will ever have to worry about this frame stretch failing. Thank you both for sharing w/ us all.

Shout out to the world's greatest detailer mrs JC (lady) for maintaining the highest of standards for QC inspector when it comes to signing off on the workmanship on all your projects

Un trabajo espectacular y lo mejor es que todo hecho para resistir el trabajos duros 💪, saludos desde sudamerica Chile 🇨🇱

Enjoyed the video very much 🙂👍 It's all coming together nicely. The strawberry bed will be an interesting video if you film it. Mrs.S done a great job with the needle scaler. Glad you both are feeling better and happy wrenching 🔧

Mrs J.C. Smith is a rock star. Most of the women i know wouldn't go in the shop never mind running a needle gun. You two make a great team. You sir are a lucky man.

Glad you guys are feeling better. I like how the frame is coming along. Mrs. JC is awesome for always helping you out on your projects!!! True teamwork!!!

Glad y'all are feeling some what better. Hopefully it passes soon but as we see nothing keeps you guys down. Always hard at it and man Love that Hp set up it's a beast and your craftsmanship I tell ya it's very few and far between anymore class act you guys thats is an amazing frame stretch and looks great to Hard work pays off that's a lesson the younger generation has forgotten sad but true. Well hope you guys continue to get better and can't wait to see the next video. Have a good one!!

Dear J.C. Smith. 👍👏👌 Oh WOW! Perfect, just perfect! 2) Glad to see that you two are feeling better. 3) Maybe it's only the camera perspective but the truck looks mighty long. 4) I know you know that you are married to a really, really great woman. Congrats! Additionally she is pretty too. 5) I guess it will be a pretty sturdy raised garden bed if it's done in the well known J.C. style. I hope that the skid steer will be strong enough to move it and you don't need the gradall. 😁 ;-) But jokes aside: I once built a raised garden bed out of boards 40mm thick and 200mm wide (called Baudielen in Germany). For holding them together I used thick zinc coated angle iron (similar to half of a truck frame). Overkill of course but that's the way I like it. To cover the wood from moisture/garden soil, I used sturdy pond liner. And of course I didn't forget to put a rodent barrier mesh under the complete raised bed. As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and especially health.

2:20 i've had great success with putting grease as you did and silicone. Silicone on around the bolt holes and on the perimeter. My brother needed a similar job for a truck to move his sprayer stuff on the farm and i helped him with it about a decade or so ago, we pulled it apart to change the axles to heavier duty ones just before the pandemic hit and basically no rust between the reinforcement and the old frame. A single blotch off rust was near the bottom, but that section was slightly bent, so i suspect we either didn't put enough silicone to make the pieces meet, or the bend was post marriage and opened up that spot for water to seep in. Considering the truck has no bed, as all the sprayer components (tanks + pumps + compressor) are sat directly on it on a rail system, the silicone was the MVP.

Nice weld job. What a blessing to have your wife working right by your side. Mine did the same thing when she was alive. I truly miss that time in life. Enjoy it while you can you two and always be thankful for this time. I hate to say it but one day it will be no more... 😭😭😭 You like to live dangerously JC offering her that "jewelry" 🤣🤣🤣 You better get to work on her strawberry bed while you can still walk 🤣🤣🤣

Glad you both are doing well again ! As far as the frame goes i dont think that frame could ever rust again great work you two ! As far as the jewelry goes your a real sweetheart HA! HA!

Ya'll really got it going together great good fabrication on those brackets looking forward for your next post thumbs up 👍👍

You sir do the best work that I ever seen

It is great how your wife and you work as a team

JC I've been watching you for years your speciality is truck frame extensions I love watching you create them. Your wife is a trooper needle scaling rust ( soo glamorous) while also being an awesome baker ( previous episodes ) this truck will be awesome 👌 👏 👍

ill bet your friend is glad you and your missus is doing the job right for him. That is a great job.

the results will most defiantly be worth the effort. coming along nicely he should never have to be worried about frame issues.

I just think that it is all awesome. You really seem to know what you are doing.

The knowledge and workmanship are awesome. Glad your wife and you are a great team. Keep up the great content and videos. Hope you both get healthy. And let good speed the projects the way you like them.

Great attention to detail as always. I don’t have a use for one, but man that mag drill is nice!

I can't tell you enough how impressed I am by your work. This and any truck you work on is so solid. My hats off and thank you again for showing us the how's and why's along the way.

Every time we look at that thing it looks like it's getting longer and longer. I admire your attention to detail. Looking good for sure! Thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸👍

There’s no one I’d rather have work on my semi if I owned one 😂. Beyond fabulous job no one could match

Looking Great and thanks for the info

Thanks great detail

Awesome work.

Nice progress!

Glad You and Your Wife are feeling better. Truck looks better every video

Did wonder why there wasn't an update sooner . Glad your both on the mend and feeling better guys. This series just goes to show how much work actually goes into stretching a frame. Big shout out to the lady wife for keeping the quality control up and getting stuck in with the build . I'm sure others will agree she deserves her strawberry patch now . Great half hour video this end I'm sure it was a lot longer at yours thanks guys

Great video

Now that is some really sharp jewelry you got going there JC But you better get making that raised strawberry patch for her since she is the boss & works her bunns off helping in the shop ! Happy Birthday Mrs C. mines next month too 4/26

1st glad to see yall are feeling much better

Love it

Beautyyy. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the video J.C.

As always….. of course I enjoyed. Thank you Mr & Mrs Smith.

Coming along nicely J.C . The mag drill is a time saver…I remember over a decade ago drilling with tapered reams the frame holes on Mack’s…the replacement trunnion frames used inch diameter bolts . The trucks were rear load packer garbage trucks so you drilled them kneeling or on a mechanic seat…the entire job was back breaking start to finish….but then I got a mag drill lol …only way to go

Looking great. Can’t wait to see it all back together and on its first test drive!!

I really enjoy your video.

The Jewelry was hilarious JC haha very nice indeed.

Awsome video , Thanks for sharing Looking forward to your next video

Nice work. Your attention to detail is crazy.

The attention to detail is above and beyond awesome

you folks and ez rider do the best fabrication and thorough repair work.

Glad y'all are feeling well enough to get back to work . lots of work but it's worth it to do it right . Gonna be a great ruck when finished . Still a lot to do but your getting there . Great video .

That’s a lotta drilling. Nice how it fits flush

The frame looks good 👍. The jewelry collection got me rolling, I do the same stuff to my wife. Great video. Have a great evening, JC and Mrs Smith.

Great video J.C.Smith the frame is coming along nicely the way you want it done. Glad you and the Mrs. Are feeling better. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Mr. & Mrs J.C.Smith.

Glad to see you guys are feeling better,I absolutely love your attention to detail,and as I have said before you two are like me and my wife absolute soul mates. Great job guys 👍

It would be nice to see how that grease holds up seems like a good ideal. J.C jewelry company coming soon

You do above and beyond what necessary, the frame will last way beyond the rest of the truck, nice ethic. I would buy anything you build, if I needed it.

I’m a day late here, but looking good as always!

Hello from the Netherlands. thanks for the video JC👊 & Mrs.Smith ❤. Sincerely Hollandduck

Hey JC, I hope that strawberry bed has a connection for the needle scaler! MrsJC should feel right at home then ! Hello Mrs JC.

hello jc & mrs smith its is randy and i like video is cool thanks jc friends randy

😎👍

Dam, that HTP welder ain't no joke.

I wouldn't even joke with the world's greatest helper, and she makes strawberry anything! Yes Dear how high and how long would you like beds for your strawberries!

J.C I have that same metal cutting saw and when we cut 1/1/2 or 2 inch aluminum one guy operates the saw and one guy uses a blow gun and spays air in directly in the motor and the saw does not heat up or trip the breaker …some times we run the saw with out the chip tray so the saw blade does not bid up when cutting real soft aluminum

wow

Been working on raised beds most of the winter , built them in shop. Strawberries are tough the birds seem to attack them .

That frame looks like it will hold a building.

“ oh it’s special alright “…….lmao

penetrol added to oil based paint for first coat makes it stick to old metal better

I now many have said keep up with honey/citrus for yourself,s prayer,s for health Peace

Dam that was one of your best that I’ve watched yet. Only one big problem I see is. I thought you were doing it on the cheap. You should never say that because those words are foreign to you. Better make whatever your Fantastic wife wants out of gold. No as far as l can see you’ll probably say Platinum would be better so just forget I said a word.

Build the strawberry bed! My lovely wife has me building chicken runs and a goat jungle gym!....lol

Glad you’re feeling better. Do you number parts for reassembly? I imagine the extra 1/16 larger holes are for any alignment issues. Your results speak for themselves, I was just wondering. Looking forward to the raised planter build! Thanks

Some day you should power wash the inside of those bay doors

You should build a small sand blaster box for your wife to use. Be a lot easier cleaning all that small stuff.

Hey JC love your videos man I may have mentioned this before in a comment but you inspired me/ gave me the confidence to modify my pick up by adding a dumping flat bed. I am wondering why you don't use polyurethane sealant in-between the liner and the frame. You'd never get them back apart again but that seems like a non issue to me. What do you think?

Wassup

No shade 5 cutting glasses😳

take a look at JNH classics fj40 episode 43 raptor liner kit

This one truck has frames under it from, what, 5 trucks? Its original, the long donor, the liner, and the 2 outer reinforcements?

P G Adams sells frames and cross members 17:13

First you both are perfect for each other. This is what makes this KZfaq channel great. When you both do a project you put your heart and soul into it and it shows. Nice job on the project looking forward to seeing the next video. Have a Blessed One.

JC your life would be so much easier if you moved south a thousand miles 😂 great video

Wow, that chassis is about a week long, what are you building?

Hey JC, what air compressor and air dryer technology do you use? Are you happy with it? I'm shopping for replacement. Cheers.

Your wife is cool

did your weld melt the two frames together?

Can you just run that saw without the cover? Probably make a mess but it shouldn’t be (unsafe) And try warming up the grease a bit too?

Do you ever think that one day a stainless steel frame may be a possibility

Love your videos and tell the Miss’s happy birthday

Why not sandblast?

I am NOT wondering what takes so long …. You can see - if you it done right it involves a fair share of work & time

Every time your sweet, well qualified wife says "HTP", they sell a dozen units.

Your wife is a real treasure, if she asks for a strawberry bed, you answer how big? ❤

add 4 more feet maybe 6 ft.

You better check your underwear and socks for mag drill shavings. 🤣🤣

miss a spot

5308 pounds my guess

Come on JC - at least buy mrs jc a sand blasting cabinet…. And retire the needle scaler
