On your next new merchandise, could you add more color? Just an idea.
Damn dawg. You got an OF?
Well, Robby, you did do a very nice job on that bumper. Looks nice. And you always keep the boss tickled. That's nice too.
I think you are missing some recovery points on the bumper to attach d-rings or soft shackles to pull from. Otherwise great transformation.
Thats a very busy front bumper,thumbs up great video
…and cerakote
Install a battery disconnect in the cab, way easier then opening hood every time you gotta start it.
I actually enjoy the fabrication work. So welding is a big part. Keep welding up
Welding with Robbie, a happy weld here and right over there another happy weld!
🙏❤️😎🤙🛻💨
The "overkill" on the front bumper is a good thing. You need that extra weight as far forward as possible for carrying out heavy trucks on the hook.
I love what you've done with the bumper so far! When you get it finished you should show a picture of the original bumper that you started with. Basically a before & after. It'll be a good way to show everyone just how good of a fabricator you are! Everyone already knows how awesome of a paint & body man you are! Keep up the outstanding work!!
I laughed so hard when you corrected the hurry up statement. 😅
Dude! I had my doubts seeing the way you were cutting and the initial fab process when trying to picture the finished product. I thought you were going for practical and didn’t care about the way it looked, but that turned out cool and heavy duty af. You should write a program for that design and sale them. It would be good money for a local fab shop that builds and ships them for you too. It looks a lot better than any of the pre fab bumpers I’ve ever bought and installed on my rigs.
keeping in mind this is a tow truck, he's making it heavy as possible out front to counteract weight on the boom, making it more stable for tow work
a bit more than overkill for anybody else
That bumper is becoming a sculpture... a piece of art... thanks for sharing your tips and tricks for the jig 🙂
Hey guys, if you haven’t tried one yet. Get a drill bit sharpener. Some people say they don’t work great, but once you get the hang of it, it will save you a fortune in drill bits.
Don't you know how it works now-a-days, you throw it away and buy a new one.
Bumper turned out nice ! Thanks for sharing !
Fred is coming along nicely. Looking good 😊
Any job that brings Demri's classic giggle to the fore is a job worth doing, and watching!
robby Demeri and Hillbilly and crew this wrecker build is looking great thanks for your video's and keeping us entertained,,keep making great videos 📹 thanks again..
You should teach her to weld. The boss should learn. She can do it. With practice she can do it.
Absolutamentos
Robby I hope you feel better soon. Sinus infection is not fun. ❤
It is not a waste of time. Quality work takes time, keep it up.
Really like the wrecker, only thing that would make it better is if it had a 7.3. Good job on the bumper!
Grinding and Paint make me the Welder I ain't.
"Blow, Tack, and Static"
Rigid Industries FTW
So many of us can relate to this video. Start a 'simple' job, add embellishments along the way, hit a couple of snags, and a 'quick and dirty' ends up taking as long as it takes!
Robby, if the wiring has been messed with then just add a battery cut off switch to King Fred instead just pulling a battery lead not only is it faster but putting one inside the cab makes sense for safety so you can cut all power off in the event you ever roll King Fred or get in to an accident.
BTW that bumper is looking cool AF and will look the mutts nuts when you add the extra flush lights and powder coat it.
Dang, King Fred has new shoes and a fancy bumper 😂
putting the lights on the angle part of the bumper will be great for side lights
When using tubing bender measure your hydraulic ram travel .. use protractor to find angle and amount of ram travel to get that angle. Will be different for other sizes... is how I bend conduit
Great job Robby and team! The bumper looks awesome. Thank you all for sharing!
This classic tow rig is turning into a nice build❤
When using hole saws I use a spray bottle with water or soapy water. Works great. Keeping the bits cooler is much more important than lubricated. Not near as messy either. Those 1/4" drain holes get plugged too easily. 1/2" holes work much better.
Robby spent more time rebuilding the bumper than he did on the rest of the wrecker. 😂
Just kidding, Robby. It's a good looking, functional bumper. All of your hard work will really pay off after it's painted.
Robby's a Metal Surgeon! Great work on the front bumper, and she does the videos well! Great team you have there. 👍🏻
I was so relieved when Robby corrected himself about the angle he needed. From the first time he said 40 degrees, I was worried he would bend it before he caught the error.
Some times my elevator doesn’t go to the top floor haha
You should start a new channel called "The Front Bumper Channel". You could post all 75 episodes there. 😄
Could you simply buff the red paint? It doesn't look very damaged on camera. Old paint on a old wrecker looks great. Maybe your name in white lettering on the door and the bumper in white would look awesome. The bumper looks fancy pancy... Well done.
There used to be these white signs with magnets (search magnet signs) that contractors could stick to the side of their doors on their vehicles. Maybe fun to do on this truck too.
I hope you won't have airflow/cooling issues with that monster bumper. That is an amazing bumper. Maybe something to start making for common trucks on the road like...say...a 2015 GMC 3500 Denali???? 😉
The Boss is ALWAYS right.
Yep, and even if she wasn't, nobody should say anything. Gotta keep the boss happy
Definitely cool looking bumper !! Hopefully yall put suspension at some point to give yall good ground clearance
Well hat didn't take long, have a blessed week and count your blessings amen.
❤ I have terminal cancer, you guys are inspiration of life. Love you guys!💞❤️💫
Thank you for watching and may you be blessed as long as possible
Man I can't believe how great that bumper looks! Great job! You guys are always entertaining to watch!
3 welding fixture tables joined together would be helpful from Harbor Fright...... Bumper looks great.
Great job on the bumper looks good 👍🏻
OK, I can't let this go any more. I love your channel! You and the boys, Matt, Paul Chad, Merlin, Rory, your all just top notch people! And Hill Billy's nervousness on screen still, is the best. It's all good Hill Billy!! I have one thing to say. The drilling. Slow speed is the key to drilling any material. Heat is your enemy. It takes the temper right out of your drill bits. Slow and lube is your ticket. Oh and no more impact drills for drilling holes in metal. Your just pounding the tips of the drill bit for no reason!
Keep up the great videos gang we love them!!😁😁😁
Y'all better add some airbags to the front of the truck to hold the weight of the bumper, by the time you're finished.
That sinus issue, could be all the cutting and grinding, and welding, without a mask or filter. I've gotten that way a time or two, from grinding and sanding on cast iron skillets to clean and restore them.
Metal oxides tend to be high ph.
Clog you up real fast.
Bumper is an excellent piece of fabrication. It has all the bells and smells.
All bumper... no truck. 😂 I love it!
Front end of the wrecker will look great.
Welding? You could be sanding for that entire day.😂👍🏻
The bumper is looking amazing!! Great job Robby!!
Good morning I agree with a comment I seen you should teach the lovely boss how to weld I think she would be good at it.
I really like the new fabricated bumper on the wrecker it definitely is one of a kind
"Hurry and..." I figured that was a standard Utah phrase, since I noticed it on your channel and Fab Rats first. Similar to "fixin' to" used around here. I don't read other comments as much as I used to, and hadn't noticed others mentioning it until you talked about it a couple of videos ago. You do what you do, and say what you want to say, and the folks that are mad about it can get happy in the same shoes they got mad in.
Bumper Down, who knows how much more to go! Can't wait to see what's next! Til next time, take care, and we'll see you on the next.😊
King Fred to the rescue ❤🎉
I wish the old ford Rory has would get some more love, he might pickup some more viewers from you possibly, and sell some more merch 😜
LOL you are the Bob Ross of welding.
Robbie has turned into a Milwaukee hoarder look at all of it lol. Have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from North Attleboro Massachusetts
They sent him All that in an episode
Hey just an idea guy's, it would be AWESOME if you guy's offered the option to have your logo's put on the back of your shirts an hoodies.
Nice job guys we differently learned how to weld and cut and do angles. You really should listen to your Boss more often.
probably one off the best off road heavy bumpers I've seen
Get some magnets Rob, makes life a little easier
You and the boss work great together, Good video.
Bumper Looks good..... but think you need to add a solid eye to each side so you can use a block for the times you need to double the capacity of the Winch
Awesome job on the bummer 👏. Love it.
That bumper is rad, nice job Robby!
Might as well have the Robbie welding videos because we have had the Robbie sanding videos. 😂🤪😂🤪😂
Morning Robby 🌞. You should make a Limited edition T- shirt of King Fred as its is Now 😅🎉 and make a new after you paint it 😁
Sweet design and fit on the light bracket.
You should put some beer Tap handles and put some bar stools in front of it. Looks nice
You could say that it was Rob Ross welding hour where you love running happy beads 😂
you should think about biz making custom bumpers/transfer flow tanks - even stuff for boats - towers/biminis etc - you need a higher powered vac, please paint this in two tone, get some good signage on old ? - the wrecker needs a name - I suggest waylon
Why did Waylon Jennings start a gardening business?
Because he wanted to be a "Good Ol' Weedin' Boy"!
Illuminated by that bumper's upgrades. Not done yet, more to come.
Awesome job on the X-90 for the 30}30 show
"Welcome to Monday" :) We feel ya man
Thought the hoops were tall [w/lights on top] like them slung below. Good touch.
She's right there's "only three" on the other ones; however, there's one at every bend. So, there's four bends in the front and it needs four. When you look at that, however, there will be too big of a gap in the middle top; there needs to be a fifth one there.
I have to pull the cable off of my old jeep so the battery doesn’t die 😂
No problem I get to go home for 4 days and I’m finally going to get a bottle of mixed gas so I can do some welding on a quad and it’s trailer.
Robby, Look into annular cutters, they have carbide tips. Just watch out for the arbor diameter you need. If you can swap out your hole saws for annular cutters in your notching tool, you will be amazed at how well they cut and on thicker metal, the hole is smooth inside. The cutting teeth are carbide and not high speed steel, each brazed in place. Not cheap unless you opt for Chinese metric sizes and then the sizes are off from American. Buy American, better quality. I built a differential tool for holding a pinion flange and it needed a hole in the center. Using 1/4" steel would have taken forever and the hole would not be to size. An annular gave it a near professional finish with only smoothing the edges.
Not in this order; but I watch Robby Layton Nation, BSF Recovery Team, Trail Mater, Fab Rats, Matt's Off Road Recovery, Mischief Maker, Chad's Fab along with a few others I cannot think of at this time.
I love the shops videos, welding, sanding, painting, it is very relaxing to watch.
Looks like a Mad Max Wrecker, y'all!
I hope you give the wrecker a paint job, Robby I think you’re a great body painter my friend! I love watching you paint and your paint jobs are AWESOME,
Hillbilly during your merch promotion...😂 Love it.
I would cut some sacrificial 1 1/2" white Oak pieces to fit into the bumper's setbacks.
Bumper is coming along nicely
Good God, man!! Finish that dang bumper already!!
Robby I had faith that you would finally get the bumper finished.
Robbie you are setting a standard for the bronco. You can't cheat on the bosses ride .. If you put that much effort in the tow truck the bronco must be above and beyond..
Robby you sound funny every day 😂😂😂😂😂
All that square tubing. Make it air tight and hook an air compressor to it and have a high pressure bumper air tank
I love fab and welding is part of that. So keep on!
Yes you have plenty of time 😅 to finish before christmas 😂😂😂
The welding is great. Get to see the fabricate come to gether that you and Paul do. JD.
Optima doesn't recomment using a winch on the side posts. There have been instances where the straps heat up internally and melt. For the winch you want to use the top posts.
Thank you for the info that’s news to me but I will change it
King Fred is a beast!
Its awesome the way your wife looks at you while you do the sales pitch....look of admiration !!
You add a battery disconnect, save you from the pulling off the battery cable.
13:00 The 4 spacers on the winch/light bars will make the assembly super strong!
Robby, your welding right over a cardboard box full of ?? Well had to add to my post, gotta say that bumper turned out pretty damn cool, was sure wondering what you were going to do with that behemoth that you started with. We had push bumpers like that for Dirt Track Sprint cars.
The bumper looks like a face. The Baja design lights are the eyes, the badlands winch is the mouth and the hoop is the head. 😂
Robby witch one of those tool boxes is yours?
