    Mike, the Fubar-ru is a masterpiece and hilarious at the same time. Your imagination and fabrication skills are superior to most collage graduate engineers. Blessings to you.

    Love all your videos. Tip from someone who works with all voltages dc and ac up to but not limited to 115,000v. Grease all electrical connections. The winch motor leads you made, dip the wire in grease, any type of grease, then shove in the lug and crimp. Butt splices…. Remove twice the normal insulation, fold exposed wire in half, dip in grease, use the now appropriate sized connector. I have never had one fail or a butt splice/ terminal where the wire pulled out or lost connection under even harsher than normal conditions. Just a guy trying to help, not tell ya what to do! Keep up the great work

  • @pinwizz69
    @pinwizz69 Год назад +1

    Wel Captain, you already know that I like to call it FrankienBuggy.
    But it's your build and vehicle so it's your right to name it.
    FUBAR-RU it is.
    It's pretty much one largs conglomeration of odds and ends morphed onto two different vehicles.
    Doctor Frankenstien would be jealous.
    Once your done you'll be able to yell out 'It's Alive, It's Alive" while cackling insanely with your version of Gene Wilders voice.
    I really love how you're going about figuring out how to get everything working together.
    It's absolutely brilliant.

  • @Jimmyfisher121
    @Jimmyfisher121 Год назад +1

    Mike if you want to water proof your large wires put some slithers of hot glue on the connectors then cover with heat shrink and when you use the hot gun it will melt the hot glue and make the heatshrink tight around the wires and when the hot glue comes out you will find the wires are sealed against water ingress.

  • @patrickcolahan7499
    @patrickcolahan7499 Год назад

    Nice work there Mike. Love the concept. Looks like a lot of fun. In college, a bunch of us chipped in to buy a junker that we used to do all kinds of stupid things off road. When it broke down, we sold it for scrap and or parts and bought another. Generally, and this was in the 70's, we never paid more than $100-$175 for them. Great fun for a bunch of broke students going to school. Thanks for sharing.

    @gwbuilder5779 Год назад

    Disclaimers are definitely necessary on this channel, if people are not having a good time here, they need to go to a chiropractor or something because adjustments are needed for sure.😃
    Suggestion for the rear steer situation. Remove the steering rack, weld pipe or a section of stabilizer bar to the tie rod ends and attach the rudder indicator bar to the newly made tie rod as a more direct connection.
    You could even use angle iron or some other metal for the tie rod.🤙

  • @leer-winnobbeefarms2131
    @leer-winnobbeefarms2131 Год назад +1

    Hay, Mike! Suggestion: put some di-electric paste on your electrical connections before your crimp them and heat seal them. It will save you a lot of grief down the road. Had a starter issue on my Honda Foreman 4-wheeler, and that fixed my problem. Great video! Lee

  • @robinredman5192

    Hey Mike, got a question for ya. Do the ideas come to you like a wee small voice, are their any drugs involved 😅🤣😂 or are you just blessed with a mind of a child, where everything is
    possible and what the heck, why not give er a try😁. Your kids, wife and you will have all sorts of wonderful memories. I can hear your kids in years to come, do you remember when Dad made this or did that, could you believe that he made it work, wasn't it awesome!! Bless you Sir. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.

    Cap’n it’s official! The Fubar-ru is born. With this proof of concept voyage in the bag, I can line up one of my attorney buddies at the Bureau of Patents and Trademarks. He can register ‘Fubar-ru’ and start the paperwork to apply for patenting the dozens of mind blowing, Earth shaking and utterly life changing innovations that are coming!
    That should lessen the risk of intellectual theft… because, there’s plainly some sort of intelligence at work there that a thief is sure to glom onto!!!
    I used the same low voltage switch panel as the controller for my solar light system in my equipment barn… mine came with decals for each switch. The one that controls the motion lights has Bigfoot on it… because who else is gonna trip the sensor at 2AM?
    Keep on tinkering Cap’n. Once you get the bed on it you can add lawn chairs to carry guests from the YT Yacht to the Swimming hole/Pond. It’ll be as popular an attraction as watching the modified turf tires of the 755 spin in the mud!

    hi Mike. An overhead switch could resemble that of a jet / rocket ship. I saw one person use a heat gun to remove stickers on automobiles. Perhaps one of your disclaimers could be: "This entire video is a disclaimer." That may cover everything. It would be neat if the switch for the wench were mind controlled. That crabbing is funny! Have fun days!
