Cassie, yes! As the others have said, definitely do a DYI class. You might also talk a little bit about where you got your skills separate from what Ben has contributed to your projects. Seems like you can do it all. We know you two have been very busy, but so glad to see your videos coming back out. Keep up the great work!
Hell ya you guys. This is what I love about you two. Your not afraid to tackle any project that you want to accomplish. I have heard and been told by so many people, oh you can’t do that, your not certified! I have the skills to do this also. I have just battled the confidence always to do these things. I just wanted to say thank you so much, for showing us all, that we can build cool stuff like this too!
I'm almost 60 so my welding days are over for too many reasons to list. You made great beads, great penetration so the weld is true. My 04 TJ frame was so rusted that it led to the subsequent trade in on my 2020 JT while yours is excellent. I'd have rattle canned the arms red though since my TJ was red🤣
Ben you missed the perfect opportunity at 8:03 hahahaha. Anyways y'all are a great couple and keep the video pumping. Yes the welder video would be great.
swish cheese drill few hundred holes in the skid plate* then hve a sacrificial sheet of rust proof slippery material so u get best of both strength & rust proof high slip. Pick drill bit size that won't break width yet still no loss in strength maybe 3/8"/7/16". Tight enough drill pattern should save more than 3rd the weight.
On a semi triangulated four link, you still get axle shift very minimal but it’s there the only time you don’t get it is when you have a dual triangulated four link
Wow! You made that look so doable for the regular weekend wrencher. I’d love to see a beginning welder video. Also, details on your welder & why you guys chose it. All my welding experience was with an old stick welder back on the farm. This Mig/Tig stuff is Greek to me.
Hey man not sure if you’re still looking at getting better at welding. But if you want to do it right and pretty much be a hobbiest pro laying dimes in about 3 months, I’d recommend looking at your local community college for any welding classes they might have. You’ll have good equipment and most teachers don’t mind if you want to come in a bunch and practice. You’ll get a feel for what you need and don’t need and you’ll really dial in the small but important things like temperature control. Best of luck!!
@@EAGLINWRX i did a ton of welding before this class I’m in but now I’m extremely confident in my welds, I’ll never worry about them while driving like I was before
Thank you Cassie for doing this, it really helps the people who want to build a nice jeep for themselves by themselves without going to a big name shop and potentially having a bad result, keep building, I'll keep watching
Glad I found this video. I was between this kit with Jonnie Joints, the BDS 4 link or the IronRock Rock Link kit. This is the way I'm going to go for sure. On another note, have you guys typed this all in to one of the long arm calculators to see where your anti squat and anti dive are in relation to stock or what you had before this setup?
The first time I saw you doing your own welding I kinda freaked, This chick welds!!! instead of having Ben do it for you that's awesome. So heck yeah I would love to see how you got there. Ben old buddy ya got yourself a gold mine in classy Cassie
I can see in her face she enjoy doing the build so now shes know how we feels I love you guys great couple also i love the new puppy the dog hi o her enjoy the project too
welding overhead... sucks. :P got slag in my ear once.. I was just waiting for that sweatshirt to carch fire . :P Good stuff so far, going to have to finish the video later. Very interested to see how it turns out, i want to do something similar to my LJ when I do my D60's.
Dont use that upper control arm bushing, itll just bind you up. Use one like the rock crawler joint. All though im gonna use a heim joint with a new tower as well.
Can you provide info on what you did with exhaust? I’m about to pull the trigger on this for my 2000 TJ but want to know ahead of purchase how to deal with exhaust. Thx.
Quick question hope I get a response. what was the measurement between the 4link brackets?I don’t have a hiem to put in between yet but what to start welding and would just make a spacer.
I noticed your TJ already had a lift in place before the install. I already purchased the Barnes kit you have, shocks, 6.5" springs, and a CavFab steering system with track bar. Having a basically stock TJ what do you recommend I start with on this install?
What a coinky dink...we were just having a FedEx roasting session on JLG&G FB group & here you are stating how they lost one of your boxes. FedEx is going to give me an anxiety attack one of these days!
Hey girl my buddy os wanting to do a LS swap in his TJ , what os the name of the plug and play wiring harness you are waiting for ? Looking for the name of the manufacture so he can order his harness from them .. he has a manual trans so it will be a different part number .. thanks for the info on advance…
Heck yeah, let's have a beginner welding video. I just picked up my first welder and my hobbyist class was canceled.
Not just another pretty face, you actually get under there and get the job done. You’ve got my respect.
What a great Sunday. I wake up to a new Cassie and Ben video. It's been waaaaay to long. So glad you 2 are back.
I would love to see more beginner welding. I have a project on my Sierra that requires welding.
Nice teamwork welding! 15:18 💥
Fantastic! I love the fact that this girl does everything herself major respect And excellent work ❤️
Cassie!! Ben! So glad y'all are back.. I was getting worried! Love the videos,. And yes, Cassie, I would luv to see a beginner welding video. Thanks 👍
Cassie, yes! As the others have said, definitely do a DYI class. You might also talk a little bit about where you got your skills separate from what Ben has contributed to your projects.

11:59 couldn`t of said it better myself. Good job girl.
When Max came to help, I knew this build was gonna be good
Hell ya you guys.

Great video Cassie and Ben. Can’t wait to see it finished. And the welding video is a great idea. Stay safe and happy Labor Day

Beginner welding class? YES Please! That would be awesome to learn more skills to help us do more DIY projects.
Ben you missed the perfect opportunity at 8:03 hahahaha. Anyways y'all are a great couple and keep the video pumping. Yes the welder video would be great.
Thank you Cassie!!! Will you and Ben please make a Part II video of installing the rear part of the Barns 4 WD kit? I would greatly appreciate it!
Keen on that beginners welding vid too! Thanks for another great vid.
This is the video I needed to see, glad to see you guys back.
Yes, beginning welding would be great
Long arms, nice. They will go good with those long legs.

Good to see you both I was thinking just yesterday that you guys had disappeared.
Kind Regards

Lol...speedy talking today hahahaha...welcome back. Thank you for this video. I am plotting the same build for this winter.

@@EAGLINWRX + if you take a welding class your welds will look a lot better and hold much better than the ones in this video
@@masonsunderland8126 yessir, gotta say the welding class was one of my favorite classes to date. So fun and actually useful.
@@EAGLINWRX i did a ton of welding before this class I’m in but now I’m extremely confident in my welds, I’ll never worry about them while driving like I was before
Gonna buy my first mig machine in a couple months and I’d be happy to watch your beginner tips
Thank you Cassie for doing this, it really helps the people who want to build a nice jeep for themselves by themselves without going to a big name shop and potentially having a bad result, keep building, I'll keep watching
🤦♂️🤡
Another vote for a beginner welding video. You guys are awesome!
Cassie you do a great job and look good doing it making it look so easy Ben is a lucky guy! You 2 keep up the great Jeep videos.
Yes to welding videos!! Was just thinking I need to find some classes to take so I can learn.
Glad I found this video. I was between this kit with Jonnie Joints, the BDS 4 link or the IronRock Rock Link kit. This is the way I'm going to go for sure.
On another note, have you guys typed this all in to one of the long arm calculators to see where your anti squat and anti dive are in relation to stock or what you had before this setup?
Good to have you back.
Traveling for 2 months? What kind of work do you do?
Jeep is looking good my grandson thought you was like Jessie Combs for extreme 4x4, though you'd like to know that
Yes on the beginner welding session! I’m learning myself and bet I will learn a bunch from you! Cheers from Canada!
Looks good! Cassie & Ben, y'all should look into a F-Body oil pan for that engine!
I vote beginner welding video. I can use all the help I can get. I wanna weld too, you know. Great video. Keep it up.
glad to see you're back i getting tired of watching Lite Brite nation they let other people do their work
The first time I saw you doing your own welding I kinda freaked, This chick welds!!! instead of having Ben do it for you that's awesome. So heck yeah I would love to see how you got there. Ben old buddy ya got yourself a gold mine in classy Cassie
Awesome Video!!! Also, Barnes has a military discount if you call and ask for it.
Yeah a beginner welding video sounds awesome!!!
I can see in her face she enjoy doing the build so now shes know how we feels
I love you guys great couple also i love the new puppy the dog hi o her enjoy the project too
Max is adorable!
I am excited to see how you do the wiring on your LS swap. I am just about ready to start the wiring on my Land Rover LS swap!
Dixxon flannels Work force flame retardant button down is a must while welding on a jeep.
I really enjoy watching you two working together on your rigs. Definitely go get a welding jacket. Slag hurts!
Great video! I need to talk Barnes 4x4 into developing a DIY kit for the XJ, that’s too easy and looks so fun to build! Jealous! 😜
Check out an older video on Muddybeards channel where he does a DIY long arm on an xj
I just picked up welder so I'd definitely like to see some beginner welding tips.
Please beginner welding video, been wanting to get better at tig and mig and could use all the tips and tricks I can get
Holy moly they are alive
Did you ever make a beginner welding series?
Is there a minimum vehicle lift requirement for this kit?
welding overhead... sucks. :P got slag in my ear once.. I was just waiting for that sweatshirt to carch fire . :P Good stuff so far, going to have to finish the video later. Very interested to see how it turns out, i want to do something similar to my LJ when I do my D60's.
Cool video. I hope you do some serious rust proofing when the Jeep is done. Fluid Film or CRC?
YAY MAX!
AWESOME VIDEO! I was going into withdrawal.................................missed you guy's!!
what's been going on with the charger =D looking forward to what you do to it
Thats a lot of welding for that machine, I have the same but use it just for lighter stuff like 16ga.
I am “in” for a beginner welding series. I have committed that I ned to learn to weld.
Nice work, should have plug weld each hime joint.
Dont use that upper control arm bushing, itll just bind you up. Use one like the rock crawler joint. All though im gonna use a heim joint with a new tower as well.
Nice work either way, can i just bring you mine to start it and finish it up. Lol
Max is so cool!
What size lift springs do you have on your LJ for the 37's? We really enjoy yours and Ben's channel ! Keep it up!
Welcome back!
Love the info and all the videos!!!
I was wondering if you and Ben use flux core wire or solid core with gas?
MAN SHE IS SO DANG GORGEOUS
Max is a good boy!
I just now realized you have the AEV highlines
How come you didnt rosette weld the bungs also so they dont have a chance to pull out
MISSED YOU GUYS!!!
JK Gear and Gadgets” Welding Apparel available soon ???
Outstanding video as always!
Can you provide info on what you did with exhaust? I’m about to pull the trigger on this for my 2000 TJ but want to know ahead of purchase how to deal with exhaust. Thx.
@@spclark77 shorty headers, borla mufflers, and they dump in front of rear tires. 2.75” pipe
Jessi Combs had a great line of women welding PPE. I think it was by lincoln
I hope y’all are going to do some overlanding soon to show everybody what your Jeep’s can really do
Finally!!! Been in Ben and Cassie withdrawal!!
Quick question hope I get a response. what was the measurement between the 4link brackets?I don’t have a hiem to put in between yet but what to start welding and would just make a spacer.

Awesome Work!
Please consider featuring some "out takes" with your pup :-)
I love it Cassie Jeeps are my favorite
Lookin' good. A beginner welding video would be great.
do you have the full shopping list? I am looking to do this with my TJ
What a coinky dink...we were just having a FedEx roasting session on JLG&G FB group & here you are stating how they lost one of your boxes. FedEx is going to give me an anxiety attack one of these days!
Begginer welding guide would do me wonders, I've always wanted to learn
That would be cool to learn how to do certain things on the Do some welding
Thank you guys for the awesome video..
Was there a reason you used the Barns diy kit vs a kit like Metal Cloak or Rock Krawler?
My only thought is suspension and welding should be a certified welder
MILO!!! He's so adorable!!!
Get those hands dirty. Great jeep video.
Hey your back. Gone so long figured your kids would be making the vids while you rocked in your rocking chairs in the background.
😂😂
Do you still have this kit ? Any chance you could get a dimension for me ? How is it holding up ?
You mentioned that the front was stretched 2 inches. I'd there a video on how you did that? What kit did you use?
I have a T-Rex Jeep right now. It's green and it's got short arms.
Yeah buddy! 🤘
I’d love to see a beginner welder video. I’m wanting to learn.
Great video as always!
Finally! Great vid.
Awesome job thanks for the video. I have been looking at this kit
Hey girl my buddy os wanting to do a LS swap in his TJ , what os the name of the plug and play wiring harness you are waiting for ?
