Well looks like you have things locked up pretty good there. The little compressor could and the junkyard tank was able to make one hold 150 psi and not blow up.

Hey paul (unless I missed it) you should definitely consider adding a check valve in the tank where the compressor line comes in... if not those pumps burn up much faster, or they get worn and start leaking past the cylinder causing it to cycle constantly, after burning through a couple 12v compressors I stole one off an old pancake compressor, but new ones of all different thread sizes are cheap as chips on Amazon 👍

*Junkyard air tank with chisel scars outside and rust inside about the last thing I'd stand crotch high next to while it was filling with air. Those things routinely fail because they weren't drained for years and grenade through 2x4s in people's garages.*

Paul love the way you work they always say a good mechanic can fix anything and you have proved that well done fabrats

Love how you improvise with parts needed instead of buying them.

That's a fine engineering and quality factory install Paul,👍👍its even nicer to see it work as good it should. Gotta' say, I enjoy seeing you and your son working together, makes the videos more enjoyable. I admire your laid back approach of being a dad, mentor and a buddy all at the same time, that's "Too Kool For Skool" in my opinion..., I suspect all of this comes from Grand Dad. Kudos to your son on a great video, editing and content.

Thank you for your support. Keep it up. We love you. Beautiful family

With the amount of heat you gave that fitting, I doubt there is too much galvanize left! LOL. Also...kinda worried about that chuck sticking down like that. There is a rock out there somewhere that is going to take it as a challenge. 👍👍❤️

Every time that you mention a dump find I am reminded of my early childhood where we often came home with as much as we left at the dump! Can’t do that at today’s transfer station.

Morning all. Up here across the medicine line we've got a brand of cut off wheels, abrasives and drill bits called Walter. The Walter drill bits were the one's I'd keep hidden for millwright work whenever possible. Way back when Makita sold drill bits and they were decent too.

at the shop I was at we had Nachi drill bits bought in bulk, are they the best drill bit? probably not, but they're a good, affordable one I've been buying a few sizes of carbide bits, really brittle but sometimes you need a really hard, sharp bit (drilling out broken studs especially)

“Mostly clean” I love it great video I learned some stuff and enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing!

Made a tank for my Ram. 5 “ pvc, mounts to the floor against the frame. Works great, easy, no rust and completely out of the way.

such a talented fella, along with his family + friends, all get to join in - such a pleasant environment

That will be handy for airin up tires ( when your done wheelin) too.

That little orange tank looks like it was made for the place Paul is putting it. Really great work and content

I am a mechanical design engineer (by day) and LOVE watching your videos ...my biggest pet peeve with the other engineers that I work with is analysis paralysis!! they over think things so much that its hard to get things done... I watch this 'show' and yall just do it! I love that.... now, I could critique some of the things that I have seen but I'm NOT going to do it - because yall do things based on your experience, and well... its working... I will say it again, I love watching your videos!! MV

I grew up on a farm and taught myself to weld and work metal, and then went off to college to get my BS in Mechanical Engineering. Some of my classmates literally did not know which way you turned a standard bolt to tighten it, and would miss extremely simple aspects of a design (like, hey this is going to hit that so it won’t work) simply because they had never actually built anything and gained that experience of failure! I know exactly what you are referencing and have always chalked it up mostly to how folks grew up and the experiences they had going hands on.

KZreadr Project Farm tests products. He did a great job of testing drill bits. The results are pretty convincing that speed and feed are the major factors that effect the life of a bit. As long as you are not going cheap most bits are about the same.

35 years of "testing" drill's.Feed's and speed's are critical but the statement that most drill's are about the same couldnt be any further from the truth than the sun is from the moon.When you are drilling thousand's of holes in a machining center every week at high rpm and fpm you learn "most" drill's (not called a bit,a bit is used with a brace ) are not about the same.

Hey Paul great video once again. I have ARB air lockers in my ZJ I love them I have three switch's compressor, front and rear mounted in the console easy to reach. All I can say is I love them the are awesome. I have been running them straight off the pump but have wanted to add a tank this was great and gave me some good ideas thanks...

Thanks for another video. Best channel on the net! (Together with MORR of course!)

Kewl video, that was such a good built video for your air locker. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Another great video! Nice job 👍🏼

Super excited to see the Rubicon Video and hopefully you get some good footage! You're making me want to get my Xterra SAS on 35's. I got stranded in Hurricane a couple weeks ago because I broke all my steering and a motor mount on Toquerville falls trail lol! I love that your editor pokes fun at you and that Lan is getting pretty good behind the camera. Ask things to your audience that you want them to comment on, it's fun reading the comments to see peoples opinion...... but audience engagement helps the algorithm.

Nice that you had a real life test with the lockers, showing that you don't magically float up them. Your videos always get an automatic thumbs up!

Looking forward to the bumper build... Love how Landon? is by your side.... Awesome father son times......

Thank you for great advice and showing us how to do it would love to see more videos but understand you have to make a living doing other stuff to support your family much respect

As always great video ya'll!! Those lockers really make a difference for sure that was a heck of a climb. Think you need a deep reduction in it so wouldn't be so high geared. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun enjoy what ya'll do

Nice job Paul, You are the man. Reuse as much as possible

Fantastic job with this.

..good one, nice job, stay safe,,

Very cool. Great fun

Thanks Paul!

Mount the compressor in a plastic battery box for protection from dirt and dust. Check the filter often. Those Viair compressor don’t like dust and slowly take longer to build air like other oil less compressors.

as always - good work. drill bits, 3 words - Amazon solid carbide! 1/8,1/4,3/8 and they cut like a hot knife through butter, low cost and last. buy in multi packs and their cheaper.

Nice. Paul's Tacoma got even more badass!

Norseman drill bits kick butt!

Quality dad son time right there guys..awesome vid.

Awesome love the sound of the 1GR-FE. I have a Hilux double cab automatic 4x4 with the 1GR-FE it's a little monster.

Love the precision hammer work! Matt could take a lesson from that.

Paul, you always do great engineering, will appreciate it if you make another video of how you installed the air system to the front-end locker.

Love your videos keep up the good work

That air compressor is going to be so handy with you guys and having low pressure tires and stuff like that. Great idea!!

Nicely done, Paul. I guess next is bead lockers so you can air down even lower. Hope to see you all next month.

The Arb's are a nice addition to your rig. The air tank will come in handy. I bought a drill doctor at Menards. That does a good job of sharpening bits if they are not to burnt up.

Nice Job!

Truck is sweet . Mods are coming along nicely👍🏼. Now time for a new grill. The Lincoln Navigation one isn’t doing it justice.

As in to extend drill bit life of staying sharp ..Fasenal sells a lube stick ..it's about diam. & length of a grease tub.. In our shop we use it to lube drill bits ( rub a touch on bit prior to using drill ) Can also wipe a touch of lube on your band saw well cutting tub & other metal items.

Your truck just keeps getting better I like the setup u have.

Tap Magic fluid or similar will help your bits live longer. Great content!

I used to work and live by Fastenal's manufacturing facility in Sterling Heights Michigan! I used to get a 20% discount on everything in the store on the other side of our warehouse. Only place I could find the 12mm x 200mm bolt for my 84 honda c70 pitbikes rear axle.

I buy the decent drill kit from a local tool store, I suspect they are Walter. When my sons were around I kept that drill index hidden and left a cheapo seat around for them to find and abuse. The best bits I have are some that were Dads, they are at least 40 years old and they stay sharp better than any of the others. I bought a Drill Doctor about 15 years ago, and once I took the time to read the directions and learn to wear my dang glasses when using it I am finally happy with it as well. A winter afternoon every couple years in the shop and I can run through all of the bits I use.

RODMAN BLUE BULLET drill bits are great. will drill through about anything. and can be sharpened super easy

What a great install. you talk about big bang for the buck WOW!

The locker works Great...Yotas are a Tough truck...I had a 90 with a total 7 in lift on her. And it had a 350 Small block Chevy under the hood...Loved that truck...You should drop a LS motor in Yours...I used to pop Wheelies with mine. Until My buddy Told me My Yota rear Leaf springs Were Almost Snapping. Needed ladder bars..LOL..HAHA..Love Your truck...Geat Video Thanks for sharing.. .

You guys are the best

Makin' it work with a Harbour Freight find. Great project!

I would suggest cutting oil for drilling metals. It will really save your bits. Also, you might consider a water drain for your air tank. They build up water even in the driest climate.
