There’s a first for everything hey haha , no need for it since this is flux cored gasless weld process, which has an inner chemical that when burned, creates its own shielding gas over the weld pool, there’s also detergents in the flux that help clear impurities, we see this in the form of slag. A cup at the end of a nozzle is used with shielding gas this helps direct the shielding gas plumped to the weld pool. Dual shield is the only process I’m familiar with that needs both. 🍻
@@ATEMOFFROAD yea, I know. I weld wind towers. We use FCAW and GMAW, so I’m used to every torch having a nozzle on it all the time. FCAW is really just wire fed “stick” welding. Unless it’s dual shield, like you said.
@@chaselamprey6810 if you think it can be stronger with angle , and can be in your design. I’d go for it! I mainly just copied the old nerf bars setup that came off for my design. I like these a lot better than the tube. I’m sure it can definitely be stronger in many ways 🍻
After everything was tacked and bolted up I welded some of the joints on the jeep, then finished in the garage, that way when I was ready to finish the metal would be strong enough to not bend or warp from the heat of the Finnish welds and my bolt holes would still line up perfectly! Thanks for watching
💥 nice , they are still in good shape and holding up strong ,this was a fun little project! I really like them but If I were to make a change I would probably dog ear the corners, maybe soon , thanks for watching , I really appreciate it!
💥 nice , this is great info for viewers I appreciate you mentioning this! And you don’t need to be sorry! I make videos like this to share ideas, Mainly for education purposes! I’m learning too. From my understanding Old CJs had a C channel frame which I have been told was designed to flex as part of the suspension. You are absolutely correct! I should have been more clear about which CJs can accept frame mount and those that cannot! Some CJ5s and 7 can accept the frame mount sliders it’s doable! , (correct me if I’m wrong) this frame design was true c channel but boxed in 3/4 of the way front to back and 1/4 in the back open C , to accommodate the larger v8 engines. I added CJ to the title because simply you can buy these bolt on rock sliders for the CJ all over the internet, nevertheless I will change the title. Thanks you for watching and sharing! Cheers
Your correct on the boxed in part. But most jeeps cjs came with the F-134 like i have & the V6 Dauntless came out in 1965/66. Anything newer im not sure. Now you says theres lots of sliders to buy for a cj. But no. For 1973 & newer yes. Poison Spyder sells Rocker Knockers $375 for a pair but only fit 1973 or newer not the older models like mine. Warrior Products sells sliders at $410 pair that fit all CJ5 years. For me on a budget & loving Poison Spyder im buying their to save $ & ill modify theirs to make fit on olders cjs. You can buy Sideplates $150-200 range but only give so much & a 1-2” lip underneath, nothing to rock slide on to.
@@Kylejeepadventures 💥 poison spider makes some really nice armor! I was mainly speaking in behalf of C7 1976-86 to be exact, anything older I would have to ask you about it, that’s some really interesting jeep history! Thanks for sharing
Hey, if you have any comments or questions feel free to ask. Thanks for watching
I knew there was a reason I kept my old nerf bars. Thanks for posting this. Those sliders are tough, simple and effective. Perfect!
Still holding strong 💪🏼, thanks for watching buddy 🍻
It looks like it works, but, I’ve never seen anyone weld without the copper nozzle before.

Those are Nice!!!
That’s great looking and I’m sure performs better than those flimsy 300$ ones that bolt to the body and body mounts.
Thank you 🍻
Looks easy….. wanna do it on a rusty one lol
Haha get the respirator and a Grinder lettts gooo 💀😷
Great idea
kakarote2277 thanks , I appreciate it! Cheers
How did you bolt them onto the frame? Using nutserts? Preexisting holes? Drilled strait thru to the other side?
Yes those are bolted to the frame, drill at tapped 5/16 -18 threads and bolts. Total of 12 holes outside of the frame!
@@ATEMOFFROAD I’ve also been hearing that this is not as strong as compared to angleiron bolted to the body. What are your thoughts on that?
@@chaselamprey6810 if you think it can be stronger with angle , and can be in your design. I’d go for it! I mainly just copied the old nerf bars setup that came off for my design. I like these a lot better than the tube. I’m sure it can definitely be stronger in many ways 🍻
Did you paint your diamond plate yourself? If so, what kind of paint and how many coats? Looking to paint mine black also.
Yes same paint as what’s on the sliders, rust-olieim satin canyon black, and about three coats
It’s been 2 years now when did you have to reattach the rails cause the self tapping screws loosened up?
I don’t recall using self tapping screws ever , but 16 5/16-18 bolts, they are bolted securely, I didn’t want to weld them on! 🍻
Do you still have your old tubes?
No I let those go a long time ago! Thanks for watching!
What did you weld under the keep?
After everything was tacked and bolted up I welded some of the joints on the jeep, then finished in the garage, that way when I was ready to finish the metal would be strong enough to not bend or warp from the heat of the Finnish welds and my bolt holes would still line up perfectly!

@@ATEMOFFROAD nice man I will be using you’re method .. new sub keep up the good work ..
@@elchapofree8326 thanks buddy I appreciate it! Cheers
how thick was the metal
I want to say 3/16 wall tubes! Thanks for watching 🍻
Those are great man, those will last you awhile. How are they still holding up? I had a tj and lj they were good jeep.
💥 nice , they are still in good shape and holding up strong ,this was a fun little project! I really like them but If I were to make a change I would probably dog ear the corners, maybe soon , thanks for watching , I really appreciate it!
Sorry but CJ models are body mounted not frame mounted due to the natural design from Willys Overland that the frame is designed to flex

@@Kylejeepadventures by the way I just checked out your channel, some really nice jeeps in there! You just got a sub! Cheers buddy
@@ATEMOFFROAD thanks. Subscribed back too.
I just was out hosing off salt on my cj5. I hate rust. You on Instagram?
ok how much for that...make me one please...im dead ass serious
Haha thanks for watching , was hoping you could make your own with this video lol possibly 200
This guy lost credibility when he lost the tip of his MIG.
I applaud 👏 the commentary, but that type of welding is not GMAW - That’s FCAW ! no nozzle on torch necessary! Thanks for watching
