Building an Exoskeleton for my 5 Ton Military Truck...

To support the new hood contraption i suggest hydraulic actuator, put some on the hood as well as pulling those back can be a kick in the back

He should really make sure his truck is weighed so he doesn’t get pulll over for bypassing a truck scale. I know his truck is heavy

Put a light bar in the roof with a siren!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice brush guard bit it ain't no roll over protection my friend. You will end up flat as a pancake without any triangulation or gusseting let alone much better chassis mounting points. Oh, and if you wanna build a bullbar you find an Aussie to do a real one not those pissy little brush guards you guys use. acmbullbars.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/banner-truck.png

Did this guy win the lottery or something

Raise and lower the front clip with a air assist hydraulic cab tilt from a k200 kenworth.

My question is how do you access the engine compartment?

Love the flag

What you need are bull bars

I used to see an AMC Pacer on 75 in North Dallas that had a cage all the way around it.coolest thIng ever.

What if u gotta pop the hood?

Barrett mount? HA it needs a Browning M2 mount!

Heck yeah! AWESOMENESS!!!

Bane called. He wants his mask back

Send it to WD to test when it’s done.

I like that trump flag

Great video, terrible idea. lol Just my stupinion.

Use ratchet straps to control the lowering of the cage

It looked like a roadrunner

You should get rid of those ugly mirrors and use these. www.orlaco.com/mirroreye-trucks

Watch someone try to cancel Matt's vid because of a trump flag in that shop

Is Matt a billionaire or something ?

Love that trump flag in the shop👌🏻

Diesel Bros know 5 tons. Would love to see a collab.

nope, not a fan at all =(

🤔💩

"Hey Matt" Maybe you can make some type of a frame. That comes off the front bumper and utilize the winch. Yo lift the "Cage up" to get under the hood. Let me know and everyone else what you think Mat ok

Ditch the Raptor and get a Trek🤣

Auto Cad for designing is the shiznit.

Awesome Shit Brother. 🤟🏻🤟🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hydraulic rams for the front of the cage to lift it

I didn't see any triangular connections to route or divide stress and force... Especially around the cab. If it rolls like that, it'll be a death trap! It will twist and collapse and if you survive, cutting you out is going to take forever... (trust me, I know a thing or two about those things, after being stuck for over an hour in a strong frame car, 45 minutes of which was firefighters cutting the wreckage open.) You NEED trapeze and triangle shapes... Think back to the roll cage of the ultra4

He’s getting read for a war

Dual Tommy gun turret mounts?

Gas shocks and springs will help with the break over and closing

That was a pheasant and they are fun to hunt

1.Dont you know to use a welding blanket to protect lights from slag. 2. Looks like pipes in the way of camera. 3. The more stuff more weigh = less mileage.

Hydraulic pump like used for a dump trailer

PUT PISTONS UNDER THE HOOD AND CONECT IT TO THE INTEREAR

you should take it on an alaskan trip

Pretty sure that was a roadrunner.

put a flamethrower on it Or 50-cals OR MINIGUN OR ALL OF THAT MUHAHAHAAAA

Put som steal plates on it

I just came to the comments to read all of the ones telling Matt that he's doing it wrong. Always somebody....

Please tell me I'm not the only one who sees the flag trump 2020 no more bullshit in the background

Mat not a big hunter has the most guns in texas

How would you get the the engine if you welded all the pipes together and can’t lift the hood?

build first think later i like it

Use the winch to raise AMD lower the cage

Use the winch to pull it down

Barbed wire on the front bars or its not finished. :p

Just don't forget that those hinges are now the 2 weak points. Same for the latch portion.

Put a rpg cage on it

rip that front camera tho

How are you going Open the engine

All the better to run through crowds of liberal protestors with when the 2nd civil war starts. Like your style Matt...Like your style.

Will that thing even get above 1 mpg?

stop. getting ridiculous

Barrett mount? Why not mount a MLRS or autocannon in the bed?

Just looks like utter garbage and isn't even doing anything without triangulation.

Get some diamond plate that’s sand plaster to protect the radiator from getting punctured by idk everything

make sure you can still gt the hood open

Powder coat it MIDNIGHT Panther Black in flat

I know of a smoking hot engineer! Ask mere! 😁😁😁

Bash plates for underneath and grill plates (ya know for Zombie matter lol)

You need led light bars

love the trump flag on 4:38 TRUMP 2020

Some people have personal chefs. Some people have maids. Matt has a personal welder/fabricator

Anyone else wonder if the front camera is going to be useful with the pipe directly in front of it

You should use a pole system to lift and let down the frame

Honestly it looked better stock like I know he wants to be protected in it but it just doesn’t look right tbh

Beefy macaroni noodles!

Pheasants chill on gravel roads and shoulders of paved roads to munch on small gravel n pebbles to help digestion.

How hard is this cage gonna make it to change a spark plug?

You should do a bar in front of the winch

How you gonna get in the engine

I just got a shirt for Christmas and it is really good built 5 stars

“TRUMP 2020”... awkward. Associating with MAGA supports Matt? Aw man..

The monster truck is dead 😂😂

It needs more triangles!!!!! Triangles =Strength

You need lite guards

You need a train horn

Trump 2020

No...

Next step is to make it 50cal proof

It will be a 10 ton truck when your done , and it will be so slow you cannot smash thru anything.

How do you work on the engine

you could make a hook for the winch on the skeleton and use the winch to pull it open so you could open the hood

I’m going to have to purchase a wielders mask just to watch demo now.

I doubt you will see this Matt, however when building a cage especially for strength. You want to gusset the corners.

Ayyy man makes sure to tell him I love the flag. TRUMP 2020 NO MORE BULLSHIT!

If you're seriously planning on plowing through big stuff, you NEED to armor plate the bottom! I don't know WHY it isn't already done, but it needs to be done, so that nothing can grab the front differential, or the shocks, or whatever, like whistling keeps doing when he rips his truck apart.

I think it’s awesome you keep using Brandon for all of your welding projects.

Able is a sick Rig, but the Exo-Cage is sadly missing the mark of fitment. But, it is his Rig. I still love and support it. Hahahaa

Yo whats the point of a grill guard if nothings big enough to actually hit it???? The truck would just run everything over

I don't like it, I think a tricked out brush guard on the front would look good but this just looks like crap compared to leaving it how it was.

Matt is the best youtuber why didn't mrbeast include him in tut he rewind?

You should put some on the back to like the back bumper

to raise and low it look at electric cylinders, Cat and other big machine companies use them for raising huge hoods and belly pans on d8 dozers and such, they will raise and lower them, you can also look at cab jacks like they use on Mack and other cab over trucks

mats making a battle 5ton what a convenient time, wait orders King Demo
