 What's up everybody? Over here playing around at the shop It's what I like to call Monster Garage Sunday At the old lawnmower shop. Yeah, come on Listen people jump in here real quick. A couple more people jump in here and Talk about what I got going on over here What's going on with frostbite? All right, we got a few people up here. What's up everybody? so As you can see Hopefully my internet connection is good and it's not too blurry Try not to move around too much So while back you guys know I got the new core 4x4 aluminum racing bars with the double adjustable Johnny joints on both ends and We've had a lot going on. What's up Craig? We've had a lot going on lately with project storm Plus my own shop my own business over here plus working in general So frostbite's kind of been sitting in the driveway Getting forgotten about but we forgot about the old girl. So anyway This is what's going on before I go to the track. Hopefully this is coming weekend Like I said, we got the core 4x4 aluminum bars and what I'm working on Project storm, what's up Ryan? some brackets Now I have this simulated and when I get this done I'm going to show an install of how all this is going to look before and after but right now I have this set up Just about exactly like my factory bars and suspension is sitting on the rear frostbite If you picture this bracket right here as the factory hanger for your factory bars and Then this bottle right here is kind of like your rear end This is what you got going on all right, so Try explain this pretty decent here Right now where the bar is if this is towards the rear of the rear vehicle. This is the rear axle Right now where this bar is would be the factory location on the on the stock Having a brain part here on the stock Bars where the bars bound up on the rear hanger on the rear axle So that is where the factory Mount is and then down here. You got it mounted on the frame rail up front and I'm trying to lay these out about how My rear end looks like on the truck right now. This is about what we got. This is kind of the angle we have going on Not very good for drag racing granted we've been making it work and it's not doing too bad but on the trans brake we can do better and That's what these ball. That's what these brackets are that I literally have made I have a quarter inch plate steel had a big chunk of plate steel laying around and I probably got a thousand dollars worth of labor in this shit. I'm not gonna lie But any who? Here's the dilly this big hole is where your shock Where your stock shock mounting location is so this is a big hole to be able to get to that shock bolt still This hole right here would be a hole you would drill into the factory hanger Or bracket to be able to put a bolt through it Obviously this bolt here or this hole right here would Utilize the factory stock location where this bar is already mounting on the stock hanger This bolt hole down here is Gonna do this for us We're gonna drop this bar down about six inches and Then what we're gonna have is a setup that looks more like this more ideal for drag racing Usually you want to get this lower bar to start with you want to get it usually pretty straight and On my truck we have a 2-4 Beltech drop with two coals cut off the back and When I was mocking all this stuff up This is about how much drop I needed to get the bar down at a more reasonable level So this is what we got going on This is gonna be the other the other sandwich to it I Welded thick washers on each side That would sandwich the bar in So I don't have to use a like washers or anything to take up that clearance Obviously these plates will be mounted on the outside of the factory hangers and That is what I got going on That's what we've been screwing around with for a little while among other projects So anyway, I've had some people ask me about these plates Not gonna go too much in detail with I Was talking to a guy that actually made some of these plates Similar to this he makes it a little different where On the factory hanger They have like a rolled lip and he cuts a big slot down here so that it will slide over that factory lip I'm gonna cut that lip off of the factory brackets To where this will sit flush on those and it still has a lot of material here These will be able to bolt on to your factory Axle hangers so you'll have a bolt here and a bolt here and Of course down here you'll have your sandwich where your bar is gonna go between the two plates So you could bolt these plates on as a bolt-on deal Or you do what I'm probably gonna do which is I'm probably gonna bolt them on and I'm actually most likely probably weld it In a few areas on the stock hanger. I Don't think it's necessary, but I may do that or I may just weld mine on period. I don't know yet But that's what we got going on A lot of people have been asking me about these plates from the last video. I put up where they can get them Well, I think I'm gonna probably make some Obviously this that's going on frostbite I've been trying to get a hold of like some CNC shops some middle-fought fab shops around here And I've been talking to them Problem is they're so busy and backed up with making other stuff because of the whole virus thing still a lot of people's having to get parts made because nobody's Making parts for shit. So all of the metal shops are backed up So my idea is once I get this done and I test it on the track. I get some good licks on it I feel good about them. I'm gonna most likely sell some of these plates. I'll get them made I'll get them cut out where they actually look a little better Granted like I said, this is my personal set. So the holes ain't perfect They're not pretty because they're not made on a machine I made these literally out of a chunk of metal cut them out myself with regular hand tools and shit and This is what we have So hell, yeah, that's the plan But if you're interested in some I'm gonna have some made. I'll have some built after I get some testing done on it I Don't want to make anything and sell anybody anything yet until I test it and see how I like it and how it works on frostbite Generally speaking I'm kind of thinking on the trans break. I'm hoping that this will get a lot of the suspension straightened out We also put on double adjustable QA1 shocks Along with these bars these plates to get my bar down where it needs to be down here I'm kind of thinking we should be able to pick up at least a tent in The 60 foot we should be able to drop a 10th in the 60 foot. I'm hoping if not more If all this works, you know, the plan is to launch off the trans break at like 4 to 5,000 rpm I mean absolutely hammer the bitch off the line and If we can do that, I'm pretty sure we're gonna drop more than just a tent With all this stuff we got going on, but it's all about being able to drop the hammer I had a lot of rpm and it be able to hook and take it. So We'll see how it goes. It may take a tire change We're gonna test it on the same tires we got on the truck right now, but that's it So again, like I said, they're not ready yet But if you're interested in probably getting some of these things these are gonna pretty much work on all the ram trucks that will be Mostly lowered trucks. You're talking, you know a belt tech to four drop or Anywhere from a four to six inch drop These brackets are gonna work for you whether you have the core four by four arms that are adjustable or your stock Factory bars The holes I have drilled actually line up exactly perfect From here to here with my stock bar To be able to drop it down if I wanted to continue to run this the factory bar and then this is the Lowered version the lowered version core four by four bars and This bar is completely collapsed as short as it will go and This is exactly how long the factory bar is currently on frostbite as I've already checked them. It's exact length so Again, this plate should work for anybody that's dropped between four to probably six inches and it should be able to get you your lower bar down a little bit straighter and Get rid of this mess right here when you got a lower truck and you end up with a bar that looks like this So yeah That's the dilly Other than that guys stay tuned We have Video dropping tonight for a project storm this will be part two on the Torx storm supercharger on project storm and We got a lot done in that video Not much more to go. We still got a few things to button up and that truck will be pretty much done So again that video is gonna drop tonight stay tuned for that video and as always guys stay safe out there We'll see you guys on the next one. Peace
