You NEED to tack the metal before welding. Im very surprised it stayed somewhat in place

It took me 5 years but I finally have my own truck to be able to use this. Thank you brother.

Welding student here. -don't weave -hold the contact tip closer, your stickout is too much/too inconsistent -increase your voltage a little -maybe think about self shielded flux core wire if your machine is capable. it's great, you run it very hot and you need no shielding gas, penetration is also very good (lol) im not perfect and i don't mean to criticize, but just run straight stringers, a little hotter, and hold that gun closer and be consistent. Then again, i've only ever welded in a booth, i might be total garbage outside in the cold and wind :P

I agree with what you say, I hope Eli saw this 😁

I don't even have a truck I just like this type of stuff and I find your vids relaxing

can you do a off road bumper or brush guard video?

Never skip the adds lads! Thanks for the inspiration. Good job showing your full honest mistakes and experience of your build. I love watching you work! Your art inspires me.

This video really alleviated a lot of the concerns I had about how complicated a rack like this would be to make, and also I'm really glad you explained why it's important for a rack like this to be airtight (which makes me sad knowing the last rack I had and put so much work into was definitely NOT air tight...).

Thank you so. Much for listening to yourself and us mainly yourself

Eli I was a welders assistant and the biggest pointers i can give you is to tack weld the corners, bring the gun in a little closer, brace your hand and go a little bit slower.

Hey ZNA, a surefire way to improve your welds is to try actually holding the torch near the thing you are trying to weld. Most people tend to have less than a yard of welding wire between the head and the piece of work, but some people have less than 6 in! I prefer around 1/2 in. of exposed wire.

About the rusting. A closed, air tight space will rust faster than open area. Water will condensade inside and it will have no place to go, so there will always be moisture inside. Foam isn't good because it will still leave small air pockets in there. Professional approach would be to have holes on undersides to let any water out and then spray the insides with rust proofing wax, for example Dinitrol ML. You can get them in spray bottles with as long straw as you will need. But you are not going to have any problems in many many many years because you used thick enough metal, so just go with what you have now :) It looks badass!

Man, I love the variety on your channel! From knives to closets to headache racks! Keep it up!

So glad to see how much you and your channel are growing, you deserve it all man.

I'm sooo happy you drive a ford ranger!

That is some satisfying painting.

Wow, that does look a lot easier than I would've thought. Nice job, dude.

easily one of your funniest builds Eli. the result looks pretty nice too

peter lustig haha that'd be sweet!

this was awesome. really expanding with the ideas.

I see many comment saying he welds in the wrong direction. You guys probably never welded flux core. If the weld contains slag (flux core and stick) you have to drag the wire. You can push the wire when using mig (gas protected only, without slag). The only tips I got for this guy would be to weld slower with more heat. (or less wire feed) and weld closer to the metal for a shorter length of wire sticking out.

I always used engine enamel when painting stuff like that . its a good thick paint

3 years later and I still think that jump suit is really cool.

Awesome video man. I would love to see making more custom stuff for your truck.

Love the smell of hot steel in the morning.

For paint: Bedliner!! Also, If you ever need it. You could either weld a piece of pipe to the end, Or cut a hole in the steel and welt it into there (It might be stronger that way) and make a simple frame that's removable (bolted) to use as a ladder rack. I did a similar thing (Out of wood though).

I'm definitely going to do this when I get my first truck

beveling the edges for two pieces you're welding gives you more surface area to lay down more weld, making it stronger

Like the way you make fun of yourself...makes the vid informative and a little funny at the same time. Keeps it less boring

You've motivated me to actually unbox that mig I recently got and learn to use it.

Any1 else remember when this was uploaded? Like sitting there one day and then getting the notification, and seeing it at the top of the videos list

your neighbor cracks me up, she seems nice, a little worried about you. its sweet.

I love your videos. You have a really great gift.

I fucking love coming home after school and watching your videos not one bad one! Honestly. I've watched every single one up to date since I first subscribed on my old YT account !!

you are getting WAY better at welding and keep up the amazing content

if you bevel the end of the two pieces it will make them super strong, and if enough stress is applied area it should break around the weld. keep up the great work!

Great job. The full screen offers great window protection, the handles are handy and look good. Overall, you did a great job and it looks good on your truck. Cheers

Just something I noticed, you're pulling your puddle when you weld. As a Materials Technician in the Canadian Armed Forces we are taught to push the puddle. Now, some people that are probably more educated than myself argue that there's no difference between pushing vs pulling, so do as you see fit. But if you find your welds are not looking nice or that your penetration is lacking, try pushing instead of pulling. Anyway, awesome video as always, thanks!

awesome build nice job on welding. you inspire me to do stuff like that it's very cool thanks

I think you are the first youtuber to say "thank you very much for watching" instead of "thanks for watching" you deserve an Oscar

I really enjoy the music you use

eli u dope as hail and you vids always make me happy keep up the good work bro and know that we all love you

Almost at a million Eli, congrats!

Good job 👍 have bin welding since 19 and seen a lot but that idea 💡 if expanded foam is great I can use that in some areas keep it up

Your welding skills have definitely improved man, well done

Damn man the camera work and lighting is crazy on this one. Love it! Good job!

Great job again, keep up the awesome work

Nice build sir from Arizona. I live in the white mountains. So I get the short and cold days.

Dude that came out great!!

Your welding has gotten a lot better

I don't know if someone already said this but the bevel on the steel allows for deeper penetration of thr metal giving you a stronger weld. there are actually diffrent types of bevels depending on what position/material/and type of welding your doing.

zednought you are by far my favorite youtuber! i realy like your work and you have inspired me to get into crafting, thank you!

LOOKS BADASS BRO!GREAT JOB! 👍 😎

that build is pretty dope man

I don't know how you do it, but kudos to you for keeping these videos interesting throughout. I mean, I don't even OWN a truck, but I watched this one all the way through. You probably have some talent as a writer/director buried under that macho, workbench exterior!

now that you're getting married, you should make practical home item. diy challenges: - stroller - his & her armoires - floating kitchen island - diy super soaker for the kids - bike with chariot

I suck w MIG too, but heres a tip: Gota chase the bead, not run from it. Think like youre feeding it steel; that way its harder to melt a hole thru the weld

Can't wait to get back in a Ford truck! Keep it up. You should do house calls to make your stuff for people.

"Weld" done, Eli.... brushie, brushie, brushie, LOL!

This video felt like an A Team episode.... Keep it up.

Hey bro I've been welding for about 4 or 5 years now, the real secret to welding is to be comfortable. if your squatting on the ground being wobbly and stuff, your welds won't be consistent. use both hands to hold the gun if u have to. make your beads in small circles. that's how I learned. in fact you need to build yourself. welding table so that your consistent

Nice build! Keep up the good work. Praying for your Success. God Bless.

looks really good

The channel is growing so fast, Awesome.

His welding is improving.

A couple welding tips Eli (I'm no pro but I've taken a few classes). Because it is a mig, try pushing the bead rather than pulling it, and weld in a straight line. You don't need any back and fourth action. The more you practice on scrap metal the better you will be. Try different heights and amperages. But anyway the window cage looks really awesome man, good job.

Idk if you're better at welding by now or not but if you are still struggling you could try welding at a hotter temp as far as your amps and keep the wire speed the same or maybe bump it up just a bit. When it burns hotter the welds fuse with the metal better. I'm no expert but that's what has helped me in the past. Good luck and good stuff!

Eli, if you weald you should do it in little loops. Make a weald made of tiny loops that begin where the last one ended and you will get a proper weald.

thanks for making videos at fast as you can I know it's hard but you still do it

Great job & pretty decent welding! I think everybody with a pickup truck should build that for their trucks. I'm probably going to build 1 like that 1 you did as soon as I can sell my motorcycle & car & buy myself a much needed 4x4.

Heck son not d*me

When you weld bring the whole thing super close to what you're welding, not just the filament rod, that way you'll get less spray and smoother welds :) but these welds look pretty good

When you are welding start with a tack weld and check your measurements again. also there is a tendency for the weld side to expand a tiny bit and the tack welds hold things in place so you stay square.

This was awesome man!

nice ranger ya got there eli

man, I just want you to know that you're doing a great job and that I wan't you to keep doing this

very well done dude

Use rubberized undercoating or liquid bed liner. Works great on ATV racks too.

love this stuff

Love your videos dude. It was such a good choice when i subscribed.

continue doing what you are doing m8

this looks amazing!!

Well done. I'm currently planning out a similar build for my extended bed ranger.

your neighbor is a real OG.

Great job.

I don't know how to weld, but I made something similar to that with aluminum c channel and bolted it together. That looks sweet!!

I recommend you to weld with the nozzle a little bit closer to the metal, that will get the shielding gas to protect the arc in which case makes the weld better

This is going to help a lot. My dad wanted me to make him one and your video his going to help a lot.

you should do more vehicle modifications (When it gets warmer), This was really freaking awesome.
