Matt. From an old timer. When you finish spraying a job, turn can upside down and spray until no paint comes out. this keeps the nozzle clear.
That unfortunately doesn't work with those "any angle spray" cans they have now days.
With the location of the handles, could run a pipe through the handles so two people could lift and carry it.
Matt, it is a thing of beauty. That is your calling. You are a manufacturer inventor putting things together from nothing you are visionary. I don’t know how many more suppurative I can give you a great job Philip.
A clean workbench is the sign of a sick mind
Oh ya, I like shit organized just so I know where to find, say a pair of scissors but my garage ya forget it, to many projects on the go!
That’s what the clearing stick is for, you need a spot to do something on your work bench you take your clearing stick and just clear your self a space by knocking most of the shit off the ends of the bench then you have a place to work lol 😂. Good ole clearing stick
A clean workbench is a sign of someone with nothing to do…
Hi:
The idea of the loose straps is 1st. class.
I enjoy watching your videos Matt and I would like to continue to do so. My years working in logging shops, chemical plants as well as the automotive repair industries have taught me to be careful when welding or using an open flame, ( torch) around aerosol cans. you are taking a mighty big risk with those cans setting all around where you are welding, burning with a torch or your plasma torch. Please store them in a safety cabinet or a home made one so you won't get hurt or worse. Please don't take this comment wrong young man, we care about you and yours. Lee
Matt, this is what you are the best at creating new equipment to serve your needs. You are an inventor. God put you there for that. This is kind of content. I love seeing you’re great at this Philip.
The real reason for getting a forklift becomes evident in this episode: paint stand. BTW nice spindown on the turbo.
yeah that spindown....without oil pressure!
Love the sound of the turbo after you stoped the engine :)
like a jet engine slowing down lol
@@DieselCreek Hope your mileage is better though :-)
@@dc4931 I love the sound too. is it a 6.0 or a 7,3

@@montygram I'm new to your channel, do you have a video on the set up you have for your 6.0
I mounted my Badland 12,000 winch like you did over 3 years ago with a receiver front & rear. I got the wireless remote & have had no trouble with it. I enjoy watching your work. Keep it up.
Worked at a warehouse way back and they hired a genius to install an overhead crane type deal intended to lift stock upwards of 800lbs and 10 feet up in the air then across the line 5 feet at most. Dude mounted one of those winches to the main roof truss of an old metal building with no other support. To move the stock lateral he just hooked a smaller winch around the cable of the first one to just pull it perpendicular.. if you know anything about physics that puts a force on the first winches mount multiple times the weight of the load.. so first time they go to use it, the thing took down the building damn near.. to top it off after that happened i saw the dude come back and take that bigger badland winch and bolt it on his truck then put his crappy winch in the pile.. some people are bred to be piles of crap. Lol
A clean desk, is the sign of a sick mind.
What a awesome Custom Portable winch Setup Love your custom Plate There Matt 28:22 @Diesel Creek
Looking good!
Now I know it' probably way too late but if you haven't already worked out how to connect it to the truck for power then I would strongly recommend that you give the Anderson connectors a look, they come in a couple of different current ratings and I would guess the 175A one would work for you for this.
You can use them everywhere where you need to connect up DC power from a battery or chargers and so on!
Multi purpose truck front and rear, trailer, tractor and free standing, great use of a tool. You'll get a lot of use out of that winch.
Nicely done. You should checkout synthetic ropes, they have become the norm in the UK for off-roading, mainly because they are much *safer* to use, easier to handle and they float. In a pinch you can even safely splice them in the field with a small screwdriver or centre punch. Weight for weight they are a lot stronger than steel wire. They are also thinner than steel wire for the same rating so can get more on the spool for a longer pull.
Synthetic winch line has been very popular in the United States since the early 2000s.
I snap the synthetic ropes on the first day
Sweet project. I was planning to do something similar. My plan was to weld a vertical 2" receiver tube somewhere on my flat bed for storage. You could do that maybe next to the tool box or in the tool box. Then use a locking hitch pin to prevent theft.
I built one of these about 6 years ago. There are 2 things I did differently. Instead of anchor rings on the rear I welded a plates next to the receiver tube and drilled holes to accept 3/8 chain hooks. On the front instead of a single ring in the center I have eye bolts on either side of the feral lead. I do however like your idea of using straps!
You know you are not supposed to load the throat of a chain hook, right?
I did something similar except I used a trailer hitch and mounted it instead of a receiver hitch. That way you can latch onto a 2" ball and it can swing up, down, or sideways and still pull straight through the fair lead and will mount on any hitch, whether on the front or back. And I put a trailer ball on the front of my equipment trailer to use it to pull heavy loads up onto it. I use it with my 1000 amp power pack so it is completely portable.
I saw some set ups like that but I prefer the rigid mount
With my set up, you can sit on the side of the road instead of cross-ways and tow someone out of the ditch. Or pull a moose out of the woods and use your vehicle perpendicular to the pull for stability.
Great video ! You may wish to also consider adding a hitch receiver or welded tube up front on the truck, on the trailers, and perhaps the 2000 pound Harbor Freight winch to the 4 wheeler. All are available from HF...
that's a nice build you did there!
The only thing I can tell is in the first part of welding: you may want to keep in mind the pressurized cans around your work surface, that can be dangerous, or messy, or both. It happened at my work with a can of ink for dye penetrant testing, the welding box (and welder) got an instant paint job. It was hilarious because no one was hurt, but, with flammable fluids, that can go wrong very quickly.
I've had the same winch for 2 years. I've used it to load logs on my trailer and pull myself out of some tough spots. I've had it smoking several times. I just replaced the steel cable with the synthetic rope. Seems to work fine and it makes the winch lighter. Enjoyed the video.
The synthetic rope is nice, but the poor wear characteristics when being dragged and contaminated with mud and dirt kind of turn me off. The weight savings is impressive but the myth that it just drops when it snapps was its biggest selling point
I am always amazed that welding and cutting is done with flammable papers and plastic on the bench you are working on.
As a welder (in training) myself, it's shocking how many flammable things can be safely right next to a weld and not catch. I've literally used styrofoam blocks as shims while welding, and had them not melt.
@@NikkiTheOtter Knowledge like that comes from personal experience ;-))
No critique here. I love what ya put together. I'm sure you don't need any advice from the sidelines! Thanks for showing me a great way to do something I was planning on! Great planning.
Nice 90s Ford Ranger There Matt 34:30 @Diesel Creek
I use a winch quite often, like the one you have. Mine is 1 8000 lb. @ things that make mine very handy, I added a receiver to the nose inside my trailer, and added a remote for the winch. The remote helps when guiding something on the trailer. It also helps me get my tractor unstuck, I connect to my truck, and rub the cable to the tractor, drive the tractor, while pulling toward the truck. I also added 15ft jumper cables nto connect winch battery to my truck battery, even reaches to trailer tongue for winch.
The winch mount turned out great. I made one very similar a few years ago. I like the D-ring idea on the face for a double line pull. I put a square tube insert on my headache rack to store the winch for travel and to also pull big game into the truck during hunting season. Have a great day.
Love the build! I didn't use D rings (but I should have). I just used the safety chain hook attachments for connecting snatch blocks.
People knock HF but those little suckers can do some work! And with the 4 snatch blocks I prefer to keep with me at all times, you don't need the big expensive set up that people try to sell you instead.
Also recommend a hitch attachment up front. It's nice in case you get stuck in a tricky spot and a more controlled pull if you happen to come across a person in need of assistance in a ditch. I also made a hinged attachment that had a winch hook point and a hitch on the end. That comes in handy to be able to add a trailer tongue to push people from behind (hooks your truck like a trailer but you push and they steer), or put a ball on it and move trailers. That way you can use the winch to raise or lower the ball.
And I have always loved that wind down on the turbos!
Matt, THANK YOU SO MUCH for the drill press Information on drilling holes. Much appreciate it.
Love all the toys/tools you have to fabricate your builds with👍❣️ Awesome
What an awesome job you did on that! Really thought of a lot of scenarios when you built this. Straps were genius!!
Thanks a bunch!
Used to operate a 4x4 tour and offroad training business in New Zealand. Live in USA now, have had the same Badland winch on my H2 Hummer for a year now, used it on my car trailer and other eauip also. So far I'm impressed its taken all the punishment I've put it through so far. I plan to buy a second one for my 83 GMC ramp back car hauler soon.
I have a small ranch, build and restore muscle cars and machinery and have a Bobcat 620, sounds familia eh.
Enjoy your videos, thanks Matt
Cheers Rusty Douglas AZ
Looks like a good winch there. Not bad for a Harbor Freight purchase. Harbor Freight really seems to be coming up in the world. I've bought quite a few things in the past from them and I've been happy
Well that's definitely one heavy duty setup don't know how portable it is I know I wouldn't want to Lug it around but she'll damn sure work
@@josephburkhalter5105 yeah thanks for the reply Joseph definitely is in the work description not something you'd want to Lug around all the time by hand but something you definitely need to have so yes I agree it is in the work description thanks again
Matt, nice project that I may copy.
Two things to look out for, the D-rings to tie it to a tree should have been installed vertically because if you tie into a large tree the chains will pull them outward and put undue strain on one side of the clamp. I noticed the constant sputtering sound while you were welding, that is caused by one of two things, not enough heat at the weld or too fast a wire feed.
Just use two shackles turned vertical problem solved vertical won’t sit right when hitched to truck
Krylon paint.best spray can paint out there. I have been using that paint since I was a kid in my teens painting bikes. I found none better and I have be painting with paint cans all my life and I am 77 now. Forced to use others from time to time when I could not find dealers that carried Krylon. But never found anything near as good. Love that paint. Hope they never go out of business.
I have a Badlands winch on my equipment trailer and have never had a problem of any kind unlike a couple Warn winches that caused me trouble regularly. I built a similar mount years ago and after using it several times I modified it by replacing the tube with a little longer one and didn’t weld it solid I put it on a 1 inch pivot pin with a hall moon plate underneath it much like a grader blade on a tractor pivots and pins, most of the time I left the pin out so that the winch would turn directly towards what ever I was pulling. I love watching except when you time lapse but I’m sure others like it that way and no one can please everyone, God Bless and stay safe!
This winch turned out really nice. Looks like it was bought in a store!
Except they dont sell anything that heavy built in the stores! or id have saved myself the trouble! lol
Brilliant build there Matt, well done! :-)
Thank you! Cheers!
Good job Matt. Well fabricated. You are a man after my own heart. What ever it takes to get it done.
Enjoy your videos. I admire your tenacity and common sense knowledge. Disregard the critics from the building industry as I have built things on my own without building knowledge.. chicken coop,barn,garage and family room
Couldn’t hire contractors, no money. I’ll bet you two bits those building people couldn’t diagnose and repair an engine as you have done several times. Keep up the common knowledge and keep your wallet,credit card in your pocket..looks aren’t everything. If it works for you that’s all that matters. Notice you are left handed,that’s good means you’re smart.
Ps. I’m left handed and 81 years old..
Great work! I almost built something exactly like this! But found a nice one on Amazon it was just too good of a deal to pass up. So I ended up buying one and welding on D-Rings
Good looking welds man! Love watching your channel and all your boys toys and guns - a real mans channel. cheers
Thanks for Watching!
I have the exact same winch on my 21,000 lb triple axle trailer. A word of warning. The battery leads on that winch are super fine stands inside the insulation. My winch started running slow after only a year on my trailer. When I got to looking at it, I found that moisture had gotten under the insulation and started corroding the inside of the wire. I ended up cutting about a foot off the wire in order to bypass the corrosion. I was surprised that it went so far up the wire. It was almost corroded in half! So if you have that issue with your winch, look at the battery leads. They looked fine on the outside. It wasn't until I opened up the insulation before I found it. Good channel.
Always a good video from Diesel Creek. thanks
Really enjoyed this video. I can tell that if I ever want to be really effective with these kind of projects I need to learn to weld. That was some nice fabrication; really professional results!
You can do it!
I got the basics in welding from a night school course in local technical college, two nights a week for a few months to learn the correct way and then experience at my work. Not super brilliant still but the more you do the easier it becomes.
Neat trick for the paint cans. When you're finished painting, turn the can upside down & press the trigger. It'll blow any remaining paint out & prevent clogging so the next time you use it, it'll be ready to go.
How is that a neat trick? It says to do that right on the side of the can in the directions.
Waste of propellant.
Not all spray paint cans you have to do that!
Some of the newer Rustoleum cans, with a wide “trigger”, don’t allow that… they’ll just keep on spraying paint.
Great mount for that winch! You can use your propane torch and lightly go over your nylon handles where they are frayed and it will help it last longer.
Matt, great video, you have a solution for any unexpected issue, good job!
You did it right building your own receiver mount. The one HF sells is not heavy enough. My 9k pound pull winch destroyed it on first pull.
I remember watching "The Red Green Show," about 20 years ago, a favorite of mine.
There's seemingly all the episodes here on YT
i've got an 8000 lb. harbor freight winch, and i bought the mounting plate when i got it. i've used it on my 4x4 truck, and a couple of trailers to pull vehicles on to the trailer, and my truck out when it got stuck off road. had it over 10 years, and it's still going strong. a comparable warn was triple the price. other than the actuator button, i'm happy with it. the surplus center has one i'm thinking of getting to replace the crappy one.
Matt! A word to the wise from Matt's off-road recovery Channel, he says never use a trailer ball to pull on because they will snap off causing Pain & Injury. Thanks for all the great videos
There's 1 1/4" shank balls not likely gonna snap that.
A great episode of Diesel Creek ! Wish we could hang out I think we would get along great.
I was planning on being available for a meet and great this summer but with all the craziness Im not sure!
Diesel Creek where are you located ??
Soft loop handles are a neat idea! Nice work!
I was pretty proud of the idea as well! Thanks!
I looked at your Evolution Saw and almost bought one. Then I found a 65amp plasma cutter and opted for it. It is rated at 5/8" but went thru 3/4 like your saw.
I watched another feller cut 1" steel with it and even he was amazed.
Great plan on bldg your winch skid. An angle cut on the back end of the hitch tube would have been a nice touch. However, your welds were not too shabby!!!!!
I love the straps and making the holes. You may be out in the boonies but ya ain't no country hick!!!!!
Neat hearing the turbo spool down when you shut the engine down.
Matts off Road Recovery swears by them as do several other youtubers in that group such as Fab Rats. Both do custom vehicle builds and off road recovery. Wish we had that brand up in Canada but unfortunately not. Nice build.
Looks like you did a great job. I'm a licensed engineer and feel that you made a strong frame. I'm unsure about a Hf winch. Please keep us informed about the winch.
The HF badlands winch has proven itself a thousand times over in the field and on the gnarliest off road trails in the United States, its a very robust winch
I stold “ it’s only temporary if it doesn’t work “ from Wes also it’s a great saying
"’It’s only temporary unless it works"’
Some folk that know a lot more about winches than I have found them to be a good unit. There are two friends that have just bought one with the high tech fiber rope and they love them.
For the farm we bought for them is that the pretty good deal for a 12000 pound winch we put three of them covered trailer if they have a problem we can get them up on that trailer but that is a good deal
“Yeah, she’s got some girth to her now!” That’s my criteria as well. Great project 👍🏻
Thank you!
That’s how I’ve always liked my women, “With a little girth” Shade in summer, warmth in winter, probably a decent cook And will appreciate more of what you do for her👩🏼👑👍😎
Only thing I would do differently is put it on my truck! 😂😂😂
Pretty much the same way I did mine and it worked great. I did add the wireless remote and it was a must. Definitely hardware some quick disconnects to the front and rear with some good sized welding cable, it will definitely pull amperage and won't run well enough for one battery without an alternator at a good idle to help. If you don't already, you should put a 2" receiver on the front of your truck. Too many times it's been a life saver for safer pulls.
Keep up the good work and cheers
When ever your done painting with spray paint, turn the can upside down and give it a couple of shots, of the compressed air, it will shoot out what paint is left in the nozzle, hence less chance of being clogged the next time you paint. Just a tip, from someone who's father sold in the paint industry for half of his career. Luv the videos, they always pick me up on rainy days. Thanks for sharing, especially the dog and his ball, he is to funny, he should have his own, Instagram channel, he's a riot, Thanks again, and Keep on Truckin. Andrew T Barrie Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
I always turn my spray cans upside down to get paint out of nozzle for the next time i need it
absolutely... and for ANY aerosol can, remember the propellant is a liquid until disturbed by shaking...so if you try to spray before giving the can a good shake...you will squirt out good useful propellant so the can will run out with product left in the can...so always shake the can like it was you wife when she "just doesn't listen" before you spray and continue to shake even when you're spraying!! lol
thats what everyones saying, ill have to try that
@@Bugdriver49 That's why my wife ran off with the cable guy.
I take the spray tip off and shoot a little break clean it up and that dissolves all the paint
@@vincescalise4821 I tell ya I have soaked many a spray tip in acetone...like the rake clean idea...gumout should work too.
Great job ! One tip if I may. When placing a part like the hitch on the inside of the channel,round over the hitch end so it will fit flush and save you from having to do all that fill weld. Has always Liked,shared. All my best.
the fit could have been a bit better but shell hold lol
Time will tell on that trailer hitch and weld D. C. .......
Not gonna hate on building stuff when you are able, but these hitch brackets are available for like $70 and saves all the work and getting everything to line up right... but then again if you have the materials and the free time that you aren't taking away from anything more important then by all means I love fabricating stuff too
all the store bought ones I looked at were super cheap this thing is skookum as frig
Somebody watches AvE........
Love the sound of a mig welder. You make good welds.
Once upon a time there was a field with a bunch of cows in it. Next to it was a field with a bunch of bulls in it. One day a huge storm blew in and the wind blew all the cows over but the bulls were left standing. As the cows got up, one of them went over to the fence and asked the bulls how they were still standing. One of the bulls looked at her and said "We bulls wobble but we don't fall down"
If anyone doesn't get it you definitely weren't a kid in the 70's.

A comment about your work area. You may be unbelievably short on work space, otherwise a suggestion is to move your steel work "plate" away from the workbench - maybe to a roll-able work table? Or at least make a shield of some type to keep grinding debris and welding splatter confined to your steel work plate.
I like hearing your thoughts as you design. Nice fabrication, nice design.
If you are drilling without clamping the workpiece, you might consider positioning it braced against the pillar of the machine. It saves a broken finger if the drill grabs when breaking through.

This is only temporary, unless it works 😂
When I was a kid, we called "D" rings "Tumble Pads". Used to weld them to barge decks for lashing gear.
You should get their wireless remote for that, it's a game changer! I would put some heavy gauge anderson connectors on the cables so you can move it around. That's what I did too mine, but I'm going to rebuild my hitch mount to mimic yours! I love my winch for the price and how little I use mine it's a great work horse!
What are the blades for those chop saw's worth?
The license plate can go anywhere on the back .no Biggie's
They're usually about $60-70 each
License plate is covered up, possible have to move that to where it is visible... Other than that great video.
When he's in a place where he needs the winch he won't need a license plate. And he won't be driving around with the winch on when he's going to the store
That's why it's removable
as Dan said i dont plan on leaving it in there just put it in when I need it
@@DieselCreek Thats what I tell my wife all the time also. lol :) Nice build btw!
It’s almost two years later, but this video provided great entertainment on the night of 2-15-22. Thanks for posting it.
Hi there Matt, jobs well done, but for the wire rope? suggest you kick it to the curve, & exchange to nylon! Its less than half the wire radious, you'll spoil three to four times the length of rope plus it'll be about 3-4+ the breaking strain! To prove its strength, suggest you watch an Aussie 4x4 show called 'All4Adventure', they use a 13,000 pound winch with nylon rope, recovery loads +16 - 18,000 pounds, expecting the gear to break. Yes Matt watch them, I'm not sure, but could be Aussie-made winches & ropes!? 🤩👍Keep your projects coming, I've been watching Andrew Cabarata, you're both 100-proof go-getters. 🛠 Later.
Temporarily installed in front of the license plate.
You would be one hurting dude if that drill bit grabbed the wrong way and spun that raw edge of steel out of your hand! clamp it down or wear a heavy duty leather work glove. Be safe and I really dig your videos. :)
Better safe than sorry. We don't all know the old saying for no reason...
Just a thought. Get a snatch block to work with that winch. You can double from 12k to 24K power and it is helpful for indirect winching.
Could have/should have used a D ring to pull on the cable not the leather glove or the boot.
Yeah I wince everytime I see him drilling without clamping the work... I cut my hand doing that years ago, was a real gusher, several stitches and some "surgical" superglue sorted it but I lost the feeling in the tip of two of my fingers...
Серьёзно, мужик, береги руки, у тебя же есть тиски
great build- well done
The Badland Winch to me are the best that I have ever used. Great job.
I like to call it “temporarily permanent”
Temporary solutions are only temporary if they don't work.
I might have to borrow that one
Nice fab. It's always enjoyable watching a thinking man work.
I've never built one, however, I really do like your ideas on the mounting and handles. Thanks.
How did I miss this one, oh well. Nice bit of engineering and video bro. Safe travels
I see you upgraded to the Evolution Chop Saw. Nice!
Hi, Matt...
While I was watching your winch mounting plate build, I had an Idea. I'm just getting started on a refurb build on a squarebody Suburban. It already has front and rear Reese hitches. I'm going to do a mounting plate very similar so I can use the winch front or rear. Your idea of adding the D-ring was definitely good, but I'm thinking about Instead of welding a D-ring to the front, I'm going to pre drill the square tubing for a second pin before I weld it to the plate. I'm also thinking about notching the c-channel plate on both sides so the tube goes completely through the channel. That should also provide more surface for welding. My thinking is that it will allow me to mount the winch to my receiver (front or rear) and then insert a clevis ring mount (available commercially) into the tubing and insert a pin to hold it in place. Same purpose, just a little different way of doing it...
Enjoyed this video... Keep 'em coming! :-)
If you want to lighten up your winch, you could try something like the following: X-line synthetic rope 22k rating. There are many different names, but they all work very well. If the synthetic line snaps, it just falls dead to the ground. Unlike a steel cable, that when it breaks it is like a bullwhip and will cut through anything in its way. You could also change the steel rollers to delrin rollers.
I love how at 33:07 in the video you talk about how perfectly you guessed the placement of the rollers and then say the cable is not touching the rollers. Then you turn it on and it’s clearly hitting the top roller. Perfect!
Really great video Matt! Thanks for doing it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I don't own a pickup or a winch, so I am speaking from ignorance. In Texas, if you plan to drive around a lot with the winch always attached, you would have to relocate the back truck license plate to the left or right of the winch, so it would stay visible to cops driving by. Also, you might want to invest in a lockable pin thingy to hold the winch to the receiver. They are around $25, but beats having someone run off with your winch rig to stick into their receiver. You did a nice, clean job. Another channel, Andrew Camarata, that I watch a lot, he also put a receiver hole on the back of the winch, so he could place the winch first, then a trailer behind the winch. Sometimes, he uses the winch to pull things onto the trailer.
First thing I do is get rid of the steel cable and put a synthetic rope on it. It's safer and lighter and easier to work with. Downside would be it's a bit more expensive.
I also got some 350 amp anderson connectors and ran some very large cable, 3/0 if I remember correctly, from the front batteries to the rear of my vehicle. Mounted a resettable breaker to the front near the batteries and bolted one of the anderson connectors to the receiver frame just under the bumper. When I'm not towing I can just plug the winch in. When I am towing my flatbed I can plug the trailer battery in that I use for the trailer winch. I haul cars occasionally on that trailer. Welded a receiver onto it so I could winch cars onto it.
Great . You give me the encouragement to do mine in this days. Thanks for sharing.
This set up is exactly what I was looking for! Didn’t want a hard install. Thanks man!
Nice job. Very neatly done. Been wondering about it! I think they good wenches too. Enjoyed watching. Be safe!
You did a nice job! 👍🏼
The welding is impressive Matt. Great job.👍
