Brake Booster & Steering Wheel - 4x4 Off-Road UTV Build Ep.15
In this video I'm fabricating front mud guards and parts so I can attach the steering wheel, brake booster / clutch & brake pedal assembly.
This is part of a series of a four wheel drive utility vehicle build to lessen the work load on my trusty 2002 Honda Foreman Rubicon TRX500FA. This partially answers the question "Why?" but for those who want to ask "why don't you just buy a side-by-side instead of building one?" I just want to say - I'm not made of money. Side-by-sides are ridiculously expensive, even the car I drive around daily is worth less (not worthless though!), hell, it is even worth less than my 2002 Honda ATV.
"How much HP will it have?" - the 1.4 litre FWD petrol engine I'm planning on using has 55 kw and this will not change, but the torque will be tripled via the BMW differentials I'm using to transfer power to front and rear axles.
"It will be too heavy!" - this project just like the firewood processor project does not have to float. And a heavier vehicle will handle better anyway when hauling heavy loads.
Stay tuned for future episodes! Thanks for watching!

With the ebrake you need a drifter ebrake handle obviously

This is by far one of the best channels I've found in years. I'm a huge fan and can't wait for each new video. The level of craftsmanship is outstanding. The lack of 'music' over the sound of tools and fabrication is a welcomed change from the norm. And the quality of the projects is beyond imagination. How this guy doesn't already have a million subscribers is a mystery to me. Well done my friend. Keep up the fantastic work.
Wow...You are an amazing young man who knows how to fabricate and use the tools to get it done! This is so worth watching!
Thank you very much.
If you ever decide to open a studio that people can watch you work I will be the first in line! Watching you is like going to school to learn special talents. I learn something every time I watch your videos. Thank you Sir!
Браво! Великолепная проработка узлов! Плазморез - вообще впечатлил:скорость нарезки и точность стыковки.
😁Я думаю что я один с Русский смотрю этот канал. Скоро поедет ✊
@@user-ml1tk9gx7f нас тут много ;)
I want you to know that your on screen texts explaining your steps are really appreciated. Thanks for your videos.
Good to know. I'll try to keep it up in the future videos as well. 👍
This is an awesome build Donn!! And I love the cnc machine because it makes everything look like it came from the factory and it’s a lot faster and easier. I bet you’re really glad you have it so keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see it finished!!!
I like it! You're saving enough money on cutoff wheels to pay for the super cool CNC plasma cutter!
That is actually good point, though how much running plasma actually costs when comparing the power usage and consumables and you need air compressor top of the plasma table. This kind of comparison would be interesting
That working cnc plasma cutter changes this build to a next level (up)! Donn, when Your merch is coming? T-shirts, hoodies, scuffs, pencils, bottle openers, etc.?
This CNC plasma is pretty awesome, yes. I don't know about the merch... Is there a market for it? 😀
@@DonnDIY Definitely a market for it. When you have a good following, people will buy just about anything you sell.
Nothing like a Friday morning fix of Donn DIY... Looking fantastic Donn. I really like the setup, comfort does matter. See you next time, stay safe all of you !!
Cheers, Barton. Stay safe!
Наконец-то новое видео! Донн, ты куда пропал? Плазморезу отличная штука - в раз облегчает работу👍 Удачи в работе, и не забывай про нас - по чаще выкладывай видео 😉
Your really good at the plasma designing/cutting!
You are working very determined and diligently. I wish you continued success.
Очень круто! Восторгаюсь каждым Вашим проектом. Технологический уровень повышается с каждым разом, так и до серийного производства дойдёте!
I usually don't leave comments with that plasma cutters are pretty nifty piece of kit
I'm joining, looks good.
Great video Donn! About the brake pedal, I’d extend the pivot, so that there doesn’t need to be such a high twisting force from your offset pedal.
Hi there ! I'm fascinated again! there is really an artist at work! thanks for these beautiful videos, I'm waiting for the next one! stay healthy and God protect you! 👍👍👍👋👋👋🤝🤝🤝🇩🇪
excellent builds,very talented
Bravissimo, ogni settimana aspetto con impazienza i tuoi video! Complimenti ancora dall’Italia🙋🏼♂️
Simply amazing. I truly enjoyed 👍👍
Great job Donn! Love that you have a Plasma CNC now, what a time saver plus very cool design function!!! Keep up the great work! Can;t wait for the next video!!
Good morning Donn! It’s coming together really good. You’re doing a great job ! Keep up the good work and videos. Really enjoying your fabricating abilities !! Thanks for sharing with us.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻
Again and again, I must thank you - thanks for watching the content I produce. 💪💪💪💪
I don't like cars or working on cars, but this is my favourite channel. Glad to see the plasma table getting a runout..
Amazing build! Love the amount of detail you put into all the bits!
This plasma cnc is a game changer !!! Great work !
LOVE WATCHING THE CNC WORK.
In view of the quality of the parts that come out of your plasma cutter, we can say, on the one hand that it is a very good investment and on the other hand that your 4x4 will be very solid
The 4x4 will be solid and on the heavy side for sure. 😀
Hi Donn. Really liking what you are doing. Liked,shared. Looking forward to more. All my very best.
Thank you, all the best to you too!
Hi, all good as usual. Many thanks.
Missing my weekly shot of genious fabrication.
With each new series, it becomes more and more like a tank. Plasma - bomb! Good job
Its really starting to come together, very cool build sir! Watched every episode so far, can't wait to see next video!
We always supports you video👍👍👍
Cheers man!
thanks again, great view and I do like the Old Shop, and darn the Steel Cutting Wheel, Nice ;)
Tremendous skills and craftsmanship as usual, great videos.
Man this is coming along GREAT !! I LOVE IT !! So much WONDERFUL thought into all of this and it really shows !! Very nice work !! That cnc plasma table is top notch !! 👍👍🔧🔩
Excelent, ep.15 my friend, my respets from Venezuela💯👍💯👍👊
Muy buen trabajo!! Miro todos los vídeos!! 🤓
Very good!! Congratulations!!
Very nice work!
Really awesome build going to be heavy but will be very tough and last forever. It will have great towing power I think
you got to love the cnc plasma cutter you got makes your work so much better and WHOULD T LOVE TO SEE U BILD A ROCK BOUNCER with a V8 big block!!!!
Excellent. I’m really enjoying your build. Thanks..👍👍
Thanks man!
Grande come sempre.. Non vedo l'ora della prima accezione! 😁👍💪
You are a very talented man!!!
Donn., good job!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks man!
Great! Greetings from Croatia!
awsome as always
Keep on rocking, Donn!
Cheers buddy. 🤟
This is a wonderful machine👍🏻
Wow! Did you hear that crazy amount of "Donnie power" when he stomped on the throttle?!! 1 Donnie power/45-50 horse power. You'll never be able to keep it on the road! 😉 next video: "mockup of the wheelie bars"
LOL I was thinking something along those lines and imagining if this build was on, for example, Cleetus McFarland or BoosedBoiz channels.
Enjoy your videos.
Got a love the CNC plasma cutter...
CNC works very cool
Cheers man! It still needs some work and adjustments but it's a great tool to use.
Super projekt pozdrawiam z Polski.
nice work
Your videos are super cool have always been very entertaining and fence that wit you have to be able to make Greetings from Leon gto Mexico 🇲🇽
Great video
ya lo quiero ver andar a tu utv.. que buen trabajo segui asi un saludo de arg 🇦🇷
Wonderful!
Good stuff ! I bet the new cutting table saves a lot of grinding too. Cheers from Sydney Australia MATE 🇦🇺🐨🦘🇦🇺
A lot of CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) in this episode. Cardboard is a great help whin building machines. Very impressive build!!
Really cool! New level if cut with CNC! :)
A well positioned left side DEAD pedal can help hold you in your seat and provide an antispaghettification anchor for your leg during truckin big bumpies.
8:18 perfect
I have come to really enjoy watching your videos. I'm not in any way a fabricator or welder but I am really impressed with your build.
Cheers man. I'm happy the content is entertaining for everyone.
Respect,bravo
Wow. that CNC'd stuff looks and fits great! :-D
Thanks. It's cool to think of something, draw it in the computer and cut it out in seconds. Like magic! 😀
Glad to see the CNC Plasma is working for you now. Seems to be saving you so much time and creating parts that would be extremely difficult to make by hand. Just watch that throttle pedal. Seems to hit the rev limiter very easily. 😂🤣
Nice job
Looks good
good job and once again magic cnc ...
That steering wheel holder strongly reminded me of the plasma bike build Urchfab is currently doing :D
Дуже гарна робота!!
On tunda juba bensu lõhna!
Обажаю смотреть твои видео, уважаю!
Genius 🤩🤩
We need a video of the Tracked monster ripping around in the snow!!
Está ficando muito top das galáxias Super Abraço
Ура продолжение ! 👍😏
Nice video. Nice to meet you . You are good.👍🤝⚘
HI Don, great to see the CNC table being used even if it's not finished. Its uped your game and look hugely! It was already professional quality work, but now it 100% looks it. It's some time since you changed your mill, unless I'm mistaken although we've seen the new mill in use, the last mill video was on the old mill, could we perhaps have an update on current gear and how you are finding it. Always enjoyable, always logical, keep it up. Long time viewer from New Zealand
Good to see you.
It's great fabrication i hope i can get a good idea
Good job
【加油，非常欣賞你】😉😉
Coming out great Donn! That plasma CNC is a game changer for sure! I sort of want to get one, lol!
CNC plasma is definitely a great addition to the workshop. 💪
@@DonnDIY Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I just need to make a bit more room since they are a pretty permanent setup. I have a good plasma machine, a Hypertherm 45XP, so I know it'll work well for it. Hope you're doing well all the way over there Donn!!!
This is great! Subscribed asap. I'd love to see a similar build, but as a two seater :)
I was so happy to see this video drop! But as I watched I couldn’t believe you made such a huge mistake, you put the steering wheel on the wrong side!! I don’t know how you missed it! This thing is going to be awesome, just like all your other creations!
🤣
See a DONN video instant thumbs up before even hitting play. ONE MUST Watch the MASTER GRINDER..Hope ya had a Merry Christmas and great new year buddy :) Also those slots that you used to bend after then are in place i would fill weld those. that steering wheel is hooked to those and with all the bouncing around you have 2 very thin possible failure points on both sides.
Félicitation, ça prend bien forme ! J'ai quelques doutes sur la fixation de la pédale de frein, mais je n'ai pas bien vu sa position finale. Bon courage !
On the exhaust you should do a stack pipe to keep the fumes away from you and away from the ground. Basically like a tractor stack
been waiting for you to upload
Sorry it took some time. 🙃
WAW AMAZING GOOD JOB 👍🏿, HALO I AM FROM INDONESIA THANKS 🇮🇩🙏🏻
Great video as always Donn, the plasma table makes complex parts easy!. You are better off with a home made clutch cable over the terrible Peugeot one with the auto adjuster that fails if you look at it wrong. The extended brake pedal worries me slightly as the twisting force exerted on it might cause problems with the original pedal bracket as it was deigned for purely rotational force not lateral IIRC they sit on a plastic bushing that isn't the strongest thing in the world.
Amazing
Braaaaapapapapapaaaa
