 What's happening on my YouTube peeps? Thanks for tuning back into the channel. It might look like a cold shitty gloomy day here in Ohio, but it is kind of a cold shitty gloomy day here in Ohio But we're about ready to warm it up a little bit. We've got a really awesome build coming up. It's a 2018 Ram 3500 cab chassis that we've got a customer build here We've already got the Hillsboro bed installed for one of our upfitters So we've got that already on there for you, which I think is a really bad ass-looking bed Have a look at her there. She's pretty sexy But what are the coolest things we're going to be doing is something that not many people have seen on newer trucks Oh is a fab fours grumper Powder-coated and we're gonna get this thing installed fab fours grumper We're gonna be put on some Toyo open country MT tires So this guy can do the work that he needs to in any kind of conditions on or off-road So make sure you guys stay tuned So most guys would say damn that's a nice truck. And you know what it is a really nice truck This is a freaking 2018 Ram 3500 cab chassis got the alco aluminum wheels to him Looking shiny now that whole front end there everything in chrome. It's about ready to split gonna get out of here We got our fad fours grumper that we're gonna be putting on there Show you that here in a second and then on the rear couldn't leave her left open customer opted opted for a Hillsboro aluminum bed with the skirt toolboxes Really really nice high quality bed got the goose neck in the middle Nice section there in the rear really nice LED lighting to it. I really like these beds They're nice lightweight and they Give you all the room and all the function that you need to forget and all the jobs done This guy's gonna need to do so let's get inside and check out what we got from fab fours When you get one of these fab fours grumpers in this is the package It's gonna take place. It's gonna be coming into your shop all big and heavy coming in You guys better have a forklift to get this thing off off the truck Right there from fab fours And inside it's gonna come in I believe there's four total boxes in here You got the base bumper the cup a couple of fitted parts there Hardware and grill inserts are gonna be there and other grill side wings and everything in the box underneath of that We'll get these boxes open and get all the parts spread out for you guys to see After being the kid in the candy store on Christmas Day opening all the packaging. Here's all of the parts This is like the biggest big kids puzzle ever all these nice hard powder coated parts They look gorgeous they were all packaged really really well They were all packaged and wrapped up each individual part in this fabric like material They're like fabric bags for every single one of them. So I'm not even worried about the scratch it any scratches on them. They are all Gorgeous they were all shipped very well So now we're going to be going through the destructions and we've got the two new bags of hardware For the thing here The main section which is right there That will be bolting up to where the factory bumper goes on to right now We've got to disassemble the truck and get everything off of that including the intercooler because that's going to be mounted a little bit different And then we're going to be putting everything from the middle together All from the middle in before we put the center section onto the truck Now on diesel specific trucks You're going to have to take the intercooler out because you can see the two mounting tab bolts that go through these front frame horns To pull them out. Of course they mount them on the inside So you got to pull them out inwards and intercoolers in the way So going to have to take the intercooler out and then we can pull the frame horns off Next thing we're going to have to do is here in the frame horns There are these anti crush spacers here in the middle They have a spot weld here on the bottom section and on the top section here We're going to have to break those spot welds loose to be able to get this whole crush washer plate assembly Out of the front of the frame So the reason that we had to take those separator plates out was because we've got another crush plate that we've got to fit in To the frame rail that will fit back in and then there's two bolt holes in the sides back here So this will keep the frame from crushing about four inches back inside the frame and then see the in the instructions They tell you just to break this weld off and then fold up That crush bracket here in the front so you can slide this in but I broke it out And I would rat much rather just retack welded in the top and the bottom So we're going to clean up these two spots and tack weld that crush bracket back in We've got the main part of the bumper all Situated up into the regular Frame we use the standard u-bolts back from the other bumper the 916 hardware right there going into the lower L portion of the Bracket so that's where our other crush bracket was to keep the frame from crushing when we tighten that up Later That all installed at this time is where it would be a really good idea To be putting your winch in because you've got access right now So we are not customer didn't apply for a winch on this one. So everything's all mounted up And then we also mounted the inner cooler backup at this time as well It seemed that that would be about the best time to be able to do it as this is the most room You're going to have also as you can see in the instructions the whole center assembly You're going to pre-assemble it on a nice surface with all of the different parts stacked up So we've got our main center part set here on the box with some Nice covering to keep it from scratching the front face of it and we're going to start building the front center section When you're stacking these up You're going to be having your one plate in between here If you wanted to powder coat that a different color ahead of time because that's going to show a little bit You would do that and we've got our big spacer there and then our silver colored hardware is going to be put on from the inside with a rubber faced washer put towards the face of the grumper and Then on the inside we've got a flat washer a lock washer and a nut So that's going to line the inside that mouse to there and then what we're going to do is we're going to be putting the grill The mesh grill on the inside with the zinc coated yellow Hardware for that one when you've got all of the sides put together This is what each section is going to look like with the nice silver hardware on the outside with the rubber backing on that washer I'll tighten down against those and then on the inside you've got your hardware That's the yellow zinc color Mounting the grill portion into that spacer piece So that's the one section done and we're just going to go ahead and put the other sections in before we get the Full center section ready to mount at the main center part all mounted up here And we aligned it up and down where I liked it tightened up the 10 millimeter bolts here We left with two 14's kind of loose for the brackets here and the two that were here that mount the Fairlead section which is the main mount for the bottom of this and then adjusted it side to side I know it's not dead on to the Fairlead It's like a quarter inch off that way, but we're dead even up on the lights Which is what I really want because that's what's the most visible So now that we've got it level side to side we can go ahead and tighten down our mounts up here And we already tightened down our Fairlead ones Now the grill is all fitted we still have left our bolts loose for the in and out tightening Here where it attaches to the frame We've loosely attached the bracket that's going to be out here for our wings And that's the next thing that we're going to be putting on is the outer sections So we've got four bolts that are going to hold it on one two three four Into from the middle out one two three and four are going to go in through there And then you're going to have one single piece of hardware that's going to attach to that bracket right there Loosely put everything in so then we can do some adjustment Here's the finished product all done and mounted up We've got it nicely aligned with everything we need to Gapped with the lights evenly on either side and gapped underneath the light set evenly across We can see where it comes out to We know that we'll have to do some trimming of the inner fender there So we will have a second part to this video We will likely be putting in some fog lights here. There are some Slots up in here for up to two cube lights that'll mount from the top We got a hold of them and they're supposed to get back to me On whether there's plugs for the front sensor mounts or not because this specific truck does not have front sensors So that'll be in the second video. We'll be mounting the Sticker the or badge. I should say right there The customer didn't want to mount for now for the winch. So that's open for him You can see underneath we did get the plate for the intercooler guard Is mounted as well That's there and everything seems to line up pretty nice and neat. We're going to close the hood here Oh just an fyi you do have to bend forward your Handle for your hood release That does have to be bent forward because otherwise it's going to hit your bumper there That's about the fit and finish that we're going to get there Looking at this side Is what you're going to see we're going to be Trimming that area on the inner fender up as well on this side Get it to sit nice and flush All in all that was pretty simple project It definitely takes two if not three people At some points to help lift and hold things into place as you line them all up And we're going to get going with uh, you know number two video on this one as well We're going to be putting the uh, toyo open country mud terrains on this thing also And hopefully putting some lights on and doing some little finishing up So make sure you guys tuned in for that one That's about all I got for you guys today. We kind of ran out of time So there will be a part two to this video like I said before where we'll do the tires lights and get everything Uh final finished product for you guys to see I know how you hate me to leave you on a cliffhanger But i'm going to have two for the day.
