🎼The Hudson airs up and down. Hurrah! Hurrah! Bags vary the ride within Hurrah! Hurrah! Rats will sing, and Rods will shout. Ladies will bring beer to drink And life is now A Oh Kay When Hudson airs up and down.🎵
I'm a 75yr old with hands just like yours and I appreciate old age but we can't get enough of you . . . easy to say your videos are too infrequent and not long enough in duration.
Seems like a 3 way ball valve would have simplified it a bit. One port to bag, one port to air source, one port to release air. That way the valve would go up or down increasing or decreasing pressure.
Thanks for your recognition of American Independence Day! 🇺🇸Also, Johnny Comes Marching Home was not lost on me. I appreciate your knowledge and perseverance! I’ve learned much from you.
I had a friend that used an a/c compressor as an air pump, but not for a suspension. It was to put air back in his trucks tires after riding on the sandy beach. He made a front tube bumper as a tank and would just plug into the bumper with an air line to fill. Rat rod bob is a good guy.
1 minute in I hit the thumbs up button lol. Then I hit it 4 or 5 more times through out the video. Haha. Love this build man !! And thx for the HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY wishes my brother. And S. O. S. Is my only option nowadays lol 😂 👍🏻✌🏻😁
Hi Diff. Thank you again for the shout out to the Canadians. I love your candid attitude... problems?..no .just things that need solving., great channel full of innovative ideas. keep on truckin"
Hey Div, I am an OG with a few years on you, living in the middle of the USA. Yes Kansas. I so enjoy your videos. I to am a creator of stuff. No matter what I build, I like to have a bit of bling and/or shine. Your ideas and work to create smooth shiny metal, function and uniqueness are top notch ! Using what I have on hand is part of the thrill of building, as I see in what you build. You and Rat Rod Bawb look to be of the same mind in many ways. Nuthin wrong with that. Good show Compadre ! Work Safe, Be well Enjoy Life
Thanks for the shout out ! Getting a four day weekend ! Heat index was brutal yesterday. Better today. Awesome design and workmanship on the valves and handles ! I'm a big fan of both you and Bob !
Fine piece of carrying on! I used a BF sway bar on the rear of my truck to solve the "leaning" issue. But it did lean really easy before that, same as you stated, the air would go from side to side. Those manual controls really attracts attention from spectators so be prepared for that 😎.
Worked at a GM assembly plant for 30 yrs. All welding in the plant is stick welding only. The company doesn't allow mig except for assembly in the body shop. Love this manual controller, never once thought about doing it this way. Effing awesome bud!
I guess I've watched maybe six of your videos and I've got to stop for a minute to let you know that you are a genuine treasure. That you for posting all these videos. Even when you make a mistake (the driveshaft problem) you show so much skill and experience and knowledge. It's a delight to just watch. Keep 'em coming! Great stuff!
Thanks for the Canada 🇨🇦 shout out Diff! That would be totally cool if you mounted that on the roof like a plane!! Very good work as usual Diff! Looking forward to the next instalment……😎😎
Div!!! That was some good stuff!!! Enjoyed the video as always!!! Thats gonna look awesome in between the front seats, like a jet cockpit!!!! Have a lekka one Boet!!!
6013 is a great penetrating stick rob and follow it up with a 7018 and you have a great weld. I was a NDT tech for over 20 yrs servicing major oil companies back in the 70’s 80’s and the 90’s. Enjoy your videos Diff….you make my week young man! 👍 🇺🇸🙏
Excellent mechanical control system, should work fine. You may need to add a gauge for each airbag to the dash to allow fine tuning or trouble-shooting. Thanks Div.
Pity you couldn't roof mount it like some old sea planes , think of the grief you would have running the lines + something to bang your head on ! Looking good ,from uk.
I have a suggestion have pressure regulator with two check valves, so as not to over fill the bags. The 1st for the high level point and 2nd for the normal ride height. This will easy than controlling the individual bags, the vehicle wouldn’t lean to the left or right.
ingenious air ride control set up Diff, youre a clever bastard and much cooler than an electronic system, my daily has self leveling and ride height control all done by a computer so Ive seen the other variety
Thanks for the Canada 🇨🇦 day shout out! Awesome job! I'm a diesel mechanic 30+ years and we used to have 2 leveing valves for left and right side but now one valve does both sides and it doesn't seem to be a problem when cornering or weight distribution. Also maybe add a regular valve to the supply, could be dash mounted.
I was diggin Bob's and I'm diggin your version too, I'm not so sure about the independents in the country but at least your airbags will truly enjoy some, nice work Div
Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦. Thanks for the recognition. I always look forward to your videos
Thank you!
You are building an airplain 😅😅😅. Very good job.

😀👍
That is very cool, clean and fits the theme. It's going to sit in the passenger seat I suppose? haha
It will fit between the two seats behind the shifter
I'm a 75yr old with hands just like yours and I appreciate old age but we can't get enough of you . . . easy to say your videos are too infrequent and not long enough in duration.
Thanks man. Yes, would like to do more videos but the energy levels aint what it used to be...😅
Thanks for another great Sunday matinee Div! ...peace🍺
Seems like a 3 way ball valve would have simplified it a bit. One port to bag, one port to air source, one port to release air. That way the valve would go up or down increasing or decreasing pressure.
A 3 way valve is not easily available here. But I enjoy the complexity.🙂
Amazing patience, imagination and craftsmanship.
Thanks!
Looking good, I remember watching Rat Rod Bob build his manual control valves
😎👍🇺🇲
We appreciate the mention of our Independence day.
Cheers brother 👊
May we ALL live as Free men.✊
Pleasure man! The way the world is going, I dont see much freedom in the future...
@@ratrodsafrica
Sad state of affairs indeed my friend.
There's still freedom in the soul.✊
They can't take that away. 😈
Thanks for showing your invention. It's fun watching you create.
Gotta love that forest engineering!
That is so much cooler than a black box with wires!
Can't go wrong watching how Rat Rod Bob does it.
I cant stand those frigging evil black boxes!😅
@@ratrodsafrica
I am a retired Electrical Controls Engineer and completely agree. Lol
@@MachineDr. 😁 straight from the horses mouth! ☺️
Fancy! A unique suspension system has to have an equally unique air control system!!
I really like it!!!
Thanks Brad!
Lekka build Div. Thanks for sending your chaps to Canada 🇨🇦 to fight forest fires 🔥
I ordered them personally!😆 Just joking
Another Great Vid, Diff! You and your loved ones have a "Happy Fourth"!
And thank you for sharing your skills and imagination with us.
Thumbs up.
That manual bag system is so cool
Diff, SWEEETTT !! Love the creative process your brain comes up with.

lol looks like aircraft landing gear.. it's a marvel of engineering.

Thanks John. Well, when it comes to mechanical things, there are no problems, just challenges. With people however, is another story altogether. 😆
Two of my favorite channels. Yours and rat rod bobs. Nice to see him getting a shout out on here
Thanks brother

You do a great job of fabricating. Love watching you think out of the box.
Thank you very much!
Diff you never fail on your fabricating skills. Well done and have a lekka week inside your forest workshop. TKe care boet.
I’m late with a comment because I fell asleep. Long hot day yesterday. Anyway, awesome! Have-a-lucky-one! 🤣😂🤣

Good to hear that! The old school boys knew best. Thanks man!
No flip-flops? It must be getting cold there. It's interesting to see you adding layers as we're removing them.
Jip, our winter is here!
Bob would be proud 😎 nice job
Looks great
Watching from Athens, Georgia 🇺🇸 and I'm absolutely loving the truck. Keep up the phenomenal work!
Thanks! Will do!👍
Mooi Div.
I look forward to my weekly fix from you.
Thanks as always.
Great stuff as ever Div. It is said that there are many gems in South Africa - it turns out to be true 👍🏻
Thanks. Yes, many gems here, but I'm not one of them...😀
You never cease to amaze me of what you can do, that is awesome. I enjoy your videos and knowledge.
Thank you! Cheers!

Brilliant craftsmanship once again Div.
Cool and functional.
Thank you! Cheers!
Very cool design. I look forward to seeing it work.
Thats looking Cool Div, Well done. Thank you for sharing. Cant wait to see what you come up with for the air tank.
I don’t know why RUclips is keeping you a secret, you have the best Channel out there ⚡️
Thanks Johnny! Maybe I'm not blond enough😆
Love this idea, going to work so well
That's a cool setup you've made, the interior is going to look like a jet plane cockpit 😆 well done mate
Thanks 👍
Up until now it’s just been hotrodin. The air system is completely Raty 💪😎🔧🔧
More Rattyness to come!
Looking good my friend! Thank you for the Happy Fourth of July! Happy Canada Day!
Well done🎉 love the air contraption 😊 can't wait to see it all done
Thanks!
Great work Duff!!
Awesome job on the valves! They look amazing 👍
Thanks! 👍
Another great video. Thanks!!
Amazing craftsmanship and thinking! Eagerly await each episode.
Thanks
I like your air valve, nice
Awesome engineering as always brother have a lekka one brother another awesome adventure as always

Nice work Div, really enjoy your program and look forward to seeing the next one. Take care my friend and have a Lekka day. 👍
Thanks brother
Very cool. I enjoyed the feed. Thanks. Jack.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
very stylish, I like it
As usual Dif you continue to inspire me with your knowledge and practical solutions Lekker Bly Ou Pal...
Glad to hear that! Thanks
That's bad ass 2 thumbs up 👍
Awesome air controller 🔥⚡️
Excellent mechanical control system, should work fine. You may need to add a gauge for each airbag to the dash to allow fine tuning or trouble-shooting. Thanks Div.
Thanks. Yes, planning to have 5 gauges on the dash. One for each bag and one for air tank
I just had a thought. Add springs on the levers for automatic return of the handle. The springs will also keep the levers in the off position 👍👍😀
Thats something to look into, thanks.
Cool- Man...Love it.
I'm digging your build. Great job
Thanks 👍
You should mount that on the roof like old plane cockpits
That's pretty cool Mr. Duff that should work good I think looks good tho still can't hardly wait till finished keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍
That’s crazy cool!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
😀Thanks boet!
Super cool Div!!👍👍
Thanks! 👍
Very cool I’m loving the style
Looks Great! 😊
I like steampunk style diff excellent work have a lucky one
Thanks Bill
Pity you couldn't roof mount it like some old sea planes , think of the grief you would have running the lines + something to bang your head on ! Looking good ,from uk.
I fricken love it!❤
Interesting build, we are looking forward to seeing this project completed.
Thanks for the shout out for Canada Day.
I have a suggestion have pressure regulator with two check valves, so as not to over fill the bags.
The 1st for the high level point and 2nd for the normal ride height.
This will easy than controlling the individual bags, the vehicle wouldn’t lean to the left or right.
Yes, i'm sure something that will work. But its just a rat rod, like it both simple and complex😅
A bit late, but hope you had a good Canada day!
Awesome job thats real cool div.

Great job and very cool 👍👍
Thanks 👍
