    Heyyyy, just wanted to let you know that your garage door is missing something. The top of your automatic door needs a strut, or your opener is going to pull that door right in half and it WILL fall on your truck. Especially if the torsion spring breaks and you don't realize it.

    Looks like a cool project. That's cool your super excited about your project, probably none of my business just all these youtube videos get the power output of electric motors wrong. Start off with there are varying types and a myriad of controllers, to throw general rules of thumb about power and torque output is far from reality. electric motors have power curves just like piston engines, the power delivery is a lot different albeit. Fairly typical in my limited understanding ac motors tend to deliver max torque if they are an encoder type at zero rpm then the torque flattens out then power level goes up. power output is a function of rpm and torque so you only get max power at max rpm. Best of luck to you man! :D

    Awesome project. If I have to say one thing it is do not underestimate the power of gearing. All these current manufacturers are not using transmissions. But what they are failing to do is create efficiency under loads or trailering. They can boast efficiency only with one person under a light demand. Sure they have large torque numbers, but they do not calculate the energy required to move the heavy loads. Anyways, very cool. I will be following.

    Love that some of these creators have started doing really in-depth and cool stuff like this. Reminds me of the days when we had mini-series on TV; Way better than a long-winded movie, more substantial than cramming everything into a 10-13 minutes video. I really appreciate how some people help elevate a platform. Hard to think, it was once a place with "Charlie bit my finger", "Charlie goes to Candy Mountain", "Salad Fingers" (all great for their time), then just terrible prank videos, mindless "comedy" and throwing things off buildings with no purpose.
    ETCG was one of the first legitimate "how to" channels I came across, then it led to The King of Random (back when it was just Grant, I think that's how I ended up finding JRE's channel) and I'd joke that one day we'd see "RUclips University" be an accredited school--Now I think it's a possibility (haha).
    Keep it up. Great work out there.

      @@Chrissmills They're far too expensive to be sustainable. I'm sick of my tax money going to subsidize that clown, Elon's, anti-consumer, anti-repair, anti-competition endeavors. 4 Tesla walls is like $40 THOUSAND dollars, then add another $20-30 THOUSAND for solar panels and install. LOL. You'd never be able to justify that cost. It would take you like 40-50 years to recoup that cost, and at that point it's needed to be replaced 3-4 times. LOL. Electric power storage has a LONG ways to go before it's even close to replacing grid power and ICE vehicles. And his cars are disgusting. They can't be repaired by 3rd parties, and since Tesla is more focused on making more new cars than supporting the ones that are already on the road, insurance companies total them out because they're too expensive to fix. Tesla doesn't have the service infrastructure to support the repair of their cars in a timely manner, and they don't allow 3rd party repairs, and they're not producing hardly any spare parts, insurance companies don't want to pay for rental cars for 6-9 weeks, so they total them out. Long before they have met the point of being more green than a traditional ICE vehicle. Since Tesla basically disables every feature (like supercharging and autopilot) after an accident, there is no market in salvage Teslas besides people who do it as a labor of love. When a Tesla gets in an accident that would cost $3500 to fix in any other car, it can cost 5-7x as much, because of the aforementioned reasons, so it gets totaled. Ever use a cellphone or a laptop? How long do those batteries last? 2 years, and they don't undergo anywhere near the current draw that EV batteries undergo. Tesla makes up for it with electronics that limit current draw, and now batteries in parallel, but the packs still only lady about 7 years. So just as the car is reaching the point that the mining of the heavy metals for the battery is offset by the reduction in emissions, you need a new battery. Add in the fact that Tesla lies about being open source, lies about producing cars (semi, new Roadster, and truck are all vaporware), and is in bed with the CCP, and you have one of the most deplorable corporations on planet earth. Amy company that gets rich of of government subsidies, funded by the tax payer, and off of the guise that they're doing it to save the planet, should not be trusted.

    Interesting to see how you are going about this, pretty cool. I own a 95 hummer.
    Please don’t destroy removed parts- many folks need them, including the bad 6.2.
    Couple things I wonder about for the future.- maybe you are not aware or just haven’t addressed it yet?
    1. The differentials are AMC 20, and you should have the factory torsen diffential.
    I made the MISTAKE of making mine selectable 2wd/4wd. The added load to just one diff is really hard on these differentials, and wears them out much quicker even under stock power plant use. Also the handling is very different (worse) than original full time 4wd.
    2. Strength. The AMC 20 is no where near the strength of most pickup units. Some of the hummers I helped modify for more power eat differentials about every 10,000 miles. You will be supplying similar, if not more power than those ones. Start looking into the aftermarket ford 9” units. You will loose the torsen advantage of brake throttle manipulation- so locking units are to be considered.
    Portal axles (aka geared hubs as called by AM General). Your hmmwv should have the 10,000 lbs units in them. This dictates the cv axle (aka half shaft) size is also the 10k you will probably need to go to the stronger ones in the 12,000 lbs rating. The half shafts are the known weak link and many of us owners learned to keep the weaker bearing cage of the 10k units because the shaft is a couple hundred dollars, diy repair parts maybe $100 each. If you make it stronger- you will break the geared hubs. My suggestion is keep what you have, carry spare half shafts. One fits each rear, 2 different units for the front.
    Good luck!

You never get to take steps back and look at the thing as a whole, and often enough the result would work as designed but be far from optimal. Tesla and SpaceX seem to completely do away with this process and instead ALWAYS look at the whole thing. Watch Munroe Live on RUclips and you quickly notice how teslas parts all look like it was all designed in one go, it all fits perfectly together with a level of integration unseen before.
