- In this video I build a ladder rack for my Suzuki Carry 4x4 Kei truck. I use my M600 Rogue Fab bender to bend most of the tubing for this project. Other tools used are my Langmuir system’s crossfire pro CNC table and my Yeswelder 205 DS. Excellent tools that make this job much nicer.
I plan to build a canvas cover for it so i can do some camping.
This is the Crossfire CNC plasma table from Langmuir systems.

Elevator music?? How dare you be chill while fabricating! REEEEEEEEEEEEE
Heh heh, keep up the good work bud. Always a pleasure to watch.
Nice job on the ladder rack. I never get tired of watching the CNC cutting out parts. Thanks.
Thanks for checking out my new video 👍 It definitely has been useful for moving lumber and metal roofing!
I agree...I like watching stuff being sand blasted in a cabinet as well, lol!
"Liked" especially because of the elevator music. Nice fab work, too.
The “truck” is looking good and it great to see a father and son working together.
Right on 👍 My son helps me a lot on projects, he loves to work on things like his Dad 🙂
Ditto.
why do you put truck in quotations?
@@MonkeySpecs301 because I “like to use” quotations @#$&-+=.
The longer I watch the nicer your tools get and with the nice tools the quality has gone up thumbs up.
I was thinking exactly the same thing his fab skills get better and better every video!
Wow something positive worth watching and listening too thanks, a change I needed to get out of the rabbit hole of negativity thanks!!
The music you use adds such a nice mood to your videos. It makes me want to curl up on my couch in a blanket with some hot coffee and vibe out. Love the channel!
Mike it’s awesome!!! Loved seeing your son help you. He is so fortunate to have a dad that wants his help for one . And 2nd a father who has so much talent to teach him how to build whatever he wants to. Also please tell him I love his tattoo’s 😃. I really like the videos of your property. My husband and I love the woods and the privacy.. thank you for all the videos and sharing all the little tricks you have , your videos and your delivery are so great 😄
Thank you 🙂
My son and I are always working on something around here, he loves to build things!
Thanks again for the awesome comment 👍
I think this little truck is so cute. I never get tired watching videos of it. Thanks Mike.
You’re like the Bob Ross of Fabrication. Don’t change a thing brother. I’m digging the soothing vibe . Keep it up and it’s been nice watching the channel grow over the years . Cheers
Shout out from Renton , WA 🤘
Great design and fabrication. Your attention to detail and skill are admirable.
That’s one useful little truck!
Elevator jazz is the BEST! 😍
Man this is such a functional little rig. What a blast it must be in the mountains!
For a sewing machine make sure you get a walking foot if you want to sew heavy fabrics/canvas. I’d recommend an old juki of pfaff.
I've turned on notifications for very few channels. This is one of them and always worth the watch.
Came for the fab work and the tips & tricks. Stayed for the soothing work music.
Seriously, I get stuff DONE with tunes like this in my shop. That caption at 14:04 tho... GOLD! The haters can have their own music in their own shop when they make their own videos.
I have been working metal all my life and just drool at all of your toys. And no I don't live in a third world location. I have worked with EDM, plasma cutters, even computer controlled plasma cutters, but never home based units like yours. Thank you for sharing....you lucky devil.
Would love to see a full exo-skeleton build roll cage for this! Keep up the great work
One of the best builds Ive seen for a Kei truck.. Wish I had your skills & tools.
Thanks for checking out my videos 👍😊
@@Mikefestiva Cant help self..It's not difficult watching a well produced video from start to finish.
Thanks for uploading
So nice to here ‘original’ music while watch a soothing build. Mike, I can’t tell you how many times I end up spending money on another tool after watching your videos. The dimple dies have been on my short list for years, but they are pricey. I just added them to my Black Friday wish list. Every year I buy something from SWAG on his once a year sale day. Ladder rack came out exceptional. 👍👍😎👍👍 Can’t wait for the next Festiva episode 😁
Thanks for checking out my new video Joel 👍 I really appreciate it!
Haha I hope I’m not getting you in trouble with tool purchases 😂 The dimple dies are definitely pricey, there are a few different kits available from Swag off-road, Troy the owner of the company is an upstanding individual, I have spoken with him a few times on the phone and I admire what he is doing with his business. Basically he was an engineer working a full time job, but was making useful tools on the side at home, he started getting more requests for bandsaw stands and other stuff, he kept at it and before long he was working for himself engineering more products and started his own business. 🙂
Take care Joel.
Oh Joel... Why'd you have to tell me SWAG has a Black Friday sale! Dabnabit! Now I'm gonna be buying more tools too! I'm telling my gf who's fault it is! LOL!
Dave, sorry about that 🤣😂🤣 ……… but you have 2 months to save up a little. And whatever you don’t have enough for this year, you have all next year to save up for. That’s how I do it 😄
@@joell439 Now give me the secret to sneaking it past the gf! LOL!
@@davesmith8936 well Dave….. not entirely sure I can help with that one. 🤣. Apparently I have a history of wanting something I don’t NEED, and then complaining just long enough to my wife about how I want it but at the same time I don’t want to spend the money. Eventually she says…. ‘don’t be silly, quit talking about it and just go buy it already’. Weird… 🤔 😀
mike i dont care what you work on, i like all your work, keep up the good work.
Right on Rick 👍
Nice rack, similar to what I've put on my trucks including my Haflinger, I also mage removable mesh gates which hold stuff, and in conjunction canvas tops you can prop them up and they make a really solid roof for camping.
Way better than you could purchase! Fantastic design and build Mike! By the way, the elevator music comment made me laugh! It's your channel....do what YOU WANT! Your channel is one of my favorites due to your talent and personality!
The fact that anyone watching your videos and give the a thumbs down, blows mind. Keep doing what you do, I for one thoroughly enjoy what you do and share with us.
Thanks Richard 👍 I appreciate your comment!
Haha well there seems to be a few trolls out there that like to thumbs down 👎 other peoples hard work.
This reminds me of back when I was active in the 4x4 crowd. There was a guy in our club that would weld up steps and bumpers for 4x4’s that were made of round tubing, but he welded them up tight and fitted them with air compressor fittings so they could double as air pressure tanks for the little compressors we took on the trails.
A work of art! I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching your projects. Keep them coming my friend.
Thank you!!!
As someone over the age of majority, I appreciate that you select music that is pleasant and doesn't detract from the video. I also acknowledge that you have a limited selection from RUclips royalty-free music. I like your fabrication skills, reminds me of another channel I subscribe to; FabRats.
Love the return of original music. Well done!!!!
I look forward to your videos, because you’re always so attentive to each step and the details of how you do these projects. It certainly takes the anxiety out of starting new projects for someone like me, who gets bogged down in the details to the point of being too anxious to even start. Plus, the fact that you use affordable tools certainly shows that you don’t need the most expensive equipment on the market to do a good job. Also, props to your camera person!
P.S. Pretty sure I’ve seen that Dodge rig in the background in some of the overlanding groups I’m in online. Looks like a sweet rig!
Every time I watch this video I see more details. It’s funny how you can watch something even a movie and then pick up so many details after like the 3rd or fourth time. Or 5th lol 😄. I am loving those dimple dies. That’s next on my list. Love the look it gives and like Mike stated. The strength. The same way bead rolling gives strength to straight panels. Awesome as always. I just got my bender two weeks ago. I’m looking forward to using it now 😁
Wow! Being able to work metal like this really elevates what you can do with other interests. Incredible work!
So relaxing. I really like your style, good vibes and serenely creative. Keep up the good work Mike.
Impressive craftsmanship, its sadly vanishing from today's culture
Definitely a thumbs up 👍
Another job well done. There's nothing like the satisfaction of having done it yourself, and that's not just a platitude. You know that you wouldn't find that rack in any catalog. Gotta love a good welder and some time to use it.
appreciate it 👍
Looks really good, nice to see just enough steel to make it work and not so much that you've added a load of weight.
First thing I thought. Surely he's not going to mount that on the bed sides. Nope, he didn't. LOL!
I love you have the kiddos helping out. You can teach them sooner but often not later. I was teaching my 9 year old granddaughter how to weld. She saw me altering a bicycle and wanted to know how. Now she's pretty good for a little girl! LOL! She came up to me and said one of her friends was bragging about falling off her bike and skinning up her knee. She told her friend that she got this burn from welding up hers!
Yep! That's my girl!
Thanks for the cool music in the video. I'm all for something that drives the whiners nuts.
Take care, stay safe!
Terry from South Carolina
That’s awesome Terry 👍
I love the easy going music in back ground. I’m mean I honestly can’t complain about your production quality at all.
My only complaint…not enough content but hey I’ll survive. 🥰
I love watching you work mike. You've got good skills and a great mind for finding creative solutions to problems, it's definitely inspiring.
Right on 👍 Thanks I really appreciate it!
Nice! This should add a lot more versatility to this vehicle. I'd say it looks store bought, but it actually looks much better than that! Thanks for sharing.
Right on! Thanks for checking out my new video 🙂 It’s been really useful having this rack!
You make manufacturing stuff DIY look easy!
Great video, Mike! I love the little kei truck. I agree with keeping the ladder rack light. Pretty trick bends on the round stock. 👍
13:50 I ALWAYS look forward to the lo-fi jazz soundtrack! The stranger and more lo-fi the better! 😂
Nice 👍 thanks Keith!
So cool to see your son helping you. Enjoying this Suzuki build out.
I'd love to say that the quality of that rack is factory built, but that'd be a DAMNED insult to your build. Freaking top job on this one Mike, superb. Indeed, you've come a long way, and it's not just the tools that got better, i've seen plenty of shops built with money that forked out subpar quality work.
As a recommendation for a sewing machine, maybe be on a lookout for a Sailrite Ultrafeed LSZ-1. It ain't cheap, but the quality is there, and it's a stout machine. Adam Savage just got one and he has a few projects using it (you can trust his opinion on the machine, and you can also see him push it). I have an older LS-1 and it's a very capable machine. FYI, these are machines made to sew sail material, so nothing like your average Singer or common grade Brother machines.
Thank you!!!!
Great to see the next generation of fabrication.
actually like the use of oak over the cab. pretty cool to see!
So Mike, buddy, the “adjustable height welding/work table” teaser...??? I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas! I’m hoping you cover that more in-depth in a future video. Also, love the idea of cutting and repurposing the chain links for tie downs. I’ve tried bending 1/4 and 3/8” rod in the past for the same purpose but your idea is much more efficient. And sweet use of the pallet oak, nice touch! Keep on keeping on buddy!
Right on thank you !!
Easily my favourite series on RUclips 🤩
What chump is bitching about the sound track??!???!! Your music is one of the best parts. I especially liked how the bender noise almost became part of the song in this episode. I love you channel. Thanks!
I agree 100% with you Mike Loomer!
I have been subscribed for a long time now but I do have to say that I absolutely love the SUZUKI KEI TRUCK AND BUILD . I think you got an incredible mini truck and I'm jealous. I've been looking around for one myself lately, hope I get a solid one like yours so I can replay your videos and follow along with your builds and do it on mine just with my own spin on it.
They are great little machines! I really enjoy mine. What part of the country do you live in? There are importers in some states around the US. Depending on where you live you can find some for cheaper in some states.
Thanks for checking out my new video Jay!
@@Mikefestiva I'm in new york, Staten island to be exact. Thank you for the reply and help
The use of the Pallet Wood is a Nice Touch!
Super clean build!!! Love that mini truck!!!! Awesome job as always!! Those dimple dies are sweet and oddly satisfying!! Thanks for a great video!!
Look for an old school, farm edition Singer sewing machine, they are great all around sewing rigs. They sew light leather, canvas, and cloth with ease. Love the "elevator music"! 😆
That's such a neat, light and robust rack...thanks for sharing.
That little truck is awesome. I would definitely be loading the canoe on it and hitting those fishing holes. Rack looks great!
Right on that you
Very nice. Got my fabulous Friday Festiva fab fun fix! Oh and one more F for Scott Groves too....
Sweet rack, increasing the usefulness is what it's all about.
This is a thing of practical beauty and now it will help keep the tires on the road a bit
Found your channel a couple days ago, loving the mini truck build! You're making me want to spend money I don't have! Keep up the great videos.
Thanks for checking out my videos Nick! I have owned my truck for about a year now and I have zero regrets buying it👍 I drive it all the time 🙂
@@Mikefestiva that's awesome! I'm definitely looking into getting one in the future!
Another great project! Can't wait to see it filled out with the canvas sides
great design on the rack. perfectly suited for that little truck
I really want to see the canvas sides, I've thought about that for myself. Thanks for the content!
Beautiful work! It's always nice to see talent for engineering and flair for design in the same project.
the elevator music was my favorite. this was one of my favorite videos of yours by the way. it just flowed so well.
Thanks man I appreciate it 🙂👍
Nice. Fit and finish is definately as good as most store bought stuff 👍🏻
Looks great Mike! That could make a nice DIY kit to sell? Just include the brackets and the bends with instructions 🤷♂️
Maybe Scott Groves would like to buy one? 😆
Ha ha
LOL!
I’m doing some catch up, haven’t felt the RUclips bug for a bit, FANTASTIC rack! Love the oak boards, and dimple die everything!!
Boy would I have liked that back in my 20s to go in to some back country lakes with a canoe.
Really digging the canvas cover idea. Can’t wait to see what you come up with
What a great build. That rack looks like it came straight out of a high-end custom workshop. Thanks for sharing. And the elevator music thing made me laugh. As an aside, you recently mentioned in one of your more recent videos that there appeared to be an issue in the last year with RUclips and subscribers not getting your videos. That comment was spot-on with me-I stopped getting your videos in my feed for about 6 months for some reason. I have been a subscriber for a while now so not sure what happened. Recently I looked you back up to see what was going on and there were dozens of videos I missed. So here I am going back through what I missed. Wonder what happened?
Thanks Michael for finding my channel again, yes there’s something wrong with YT, I really don’t see the reason to get subscribers anymore if YT doesn’t notify my subscribers about new videos? Thanks for your nice comment, I really appreciate it 😊👍
Wow!!! I love all the tools you have and use, I’d never be able to fabricate on this level!!
Great vid man! You really make fabbing look easy!! Cant wait to see whats ahead on this build, i have to say i will miss the bigger tires but im sure it will still look awesome and be more useable.
Nice job on the rack. Great little truck,wish you would put the steering wheel on the proper side though! That would drive me nuts!
A very skilled craftsman.I would love to have the equipment this man has.nice welds!
I just finished building some trusses for a shed and I painted them with that same paint gun. Only I bought mine a few years ago for another project and never used it till now. I was quite pleased with the results. Thanks for sharing this video I enjoyed it
Don't mind the haters sir, this is an amazing build! Just be try to yourself and continue to enjoy what you do, We enjoy it with you!
a real craftsman --a visionary -dreamer with reality thank you
I love the curved rails on the top, nice build.
Thanks 😊
Outstanding, your fabrication and mechanical engineering skills are off the scale but your creative skills are cosmic . Even though your projects are above my capacity, it is a privalage to view. Thank you. Regards Gareth Wiltshire UK. Gratitude. Quality. Respect.
That rack really fits in well,and looks awesome doing so.If you weren't already so sandwiched for time,you could do well selling "Bolt In Kits"with that.Well done!(I've been wanting 1 of those trucks for at least 3 years,and that rack would be the first addition)
Very relaxing watching a master at work 😀
Please don’t put smaller tires on it. It looks so cool with the current ones.
Same!
I really enjoy watching your builds and I like the music. You be you, it's what makes your channel great.
I see alot of set ups like that in the Philippines..its like their working horse...pretty neat...
I don’t care what you’re working on! I feel like I’m learning on each video 👍
Right on! Thanks I really appreciate it 👍
I love the cnc machine. Cuts so well and precise
Great little episode Mike. I bought the Fein Chop saw after watching your review a few years ago and I have used it so much for some huge projects and it's absolutely brilliant. I dulled the blade on some stainless and actually resharpened it with angle grinder and it's been great ever since. Byron. Australia.
That looks really nice, if I didn't know any better I would have said you bought it. Well done!
Thanks buddy 🙂
Man, you do such great content. I was thinking a ladder rack on a Kai truck would be boring. Nope. Loved watching the process. You do great work.
I love this vehicle from Philippines 🇵🇭
Nice job Mike. You do some great fabrication.
Dear Mike,these trucks make great campers,There is a man in Japan that built a camper on his,he is on RUclips. Camper no camper, I'm jealous! Just wanted to say hello from Florida!😁
England 🇬🇧 Aaron. Amazing work and gave me some good ideas 💡 👌. And some good background tunes aswell.. keep it up
There's a military supply joint down by fife that always has a bunch of those military trailers and parts. One of the most common unused parts were the bows and canvas cover. It was a very cool design that let you cover just a portion or the whole bed. I think that the specs are close enough that you might want to look into modifying one of those. It might not even require modification unless you want a very tailored fit. Either way, it might be the cheapest way to get raw materials. Plus that waxed denim that they used is fantastic, last forever
That ladder rack turned out nice man. I hope after you get the penzgower done you have a this vs that with it and the mini truck lol
Much better than any factory rack! Nice!
Thanks Jeff
Love this wee truck.
Very nice. I was going to suggest that there should be a low area in the middle so a fork lift can load stuff on top, then I realized anything that needs a fork lift isn't going on top of that truck!
A PFAFF 129 will do incredibly well for you. Might be in the $400-600 range, but it'll outlive you and keep value forever if you take care of it.
Thanks for the suggestion 🙂👍
What a beautiful build! Really loving this Kei truck and the lift music 😉
