00:00 If you've ever wondered what makes one project stand out from the next, it's the research
00:04 that goes into it.
00:06 And as Tony discovered, the SEMA show in Las Vegas is a good place to begin finding out
00:11 what works and what probably won't.
00:15 Hey, this is something new because I know I've had your tops on my Jeeps forever, but
00:20 this is different.
00:21 Can you tell me about it?
00:22 One of the features of this is that we continue using our tailgate.
00:26 We brought that from Supertop to have the access without having to remove or unzip anything.
00:30 Sure.
00:31 Still have easy access to the bed.
00:32 And then this slides out the same way with two little channels?
00:35 Our traditional tailgate button.
00:37 Pull it out.
00:38 Pull the channel up.
00:39 We recommend that you remove the cord windows, but for a quick application, we'll leave this
00:54 one in.
00:57 Same bell rail system that we currently use.
01:00 That's off.
01:02 Get mine off.
01:05 Lift this up.
01:08 Pull this forward.
01:11 There we go.
01:14 Whoa, that is really nice.
01:15 Folds down into a nice package.
01:17 There's some straps that we use here to hold this in place and some tie-down straps that
01:22 hook to the bell rail so you can travel with this top down.
01:24 Hey, that is really, really nice.
01:27 Here, we pull the bikes out now.
01:29 If it's starting to rain or whatever, you can flip this back up.
01:31 A little bit of security with the can't see, they won't take.
01:34 You know, the other thing that people forget is that you guys don't only make this, you're
01:38 making other hardware parts.
01:39 I just put Jeep sliders and Jeep bracketry in this new Jeep I'm building, and it's all
01:44 good stuff.
01:45 And are there bump stops down here?
01:51 Yeah.
01:52 That way you can change.
01:53 You can switch out your top.
01:54 Strap your backpacks on and do that.
01:57 That is very cool.
01:59 That is...
02:01 Yeah, that is very cool, and it clips in, right?
02:05 Yep, that's right.
02:06 And how do you do it?
02:07 How, when you pull it out, would you just push them up?
02:10 Yeah.
02:11 I'm telling you, that's very good.
02:16 It accommodates our universal rack trays.
02:18 Somebody's thinking.
02:19 You know?
02:20 That's pretty cool.
02:21 Because for a lot of guys, those steps are great too.
02:22 It locks in there, out here, comes out all the way.
02:23 This comes with a cargo net that you put here just for some light storage.
02:24 It comes with it.
02:25 That's really nice.
02:26 Once you get to your area where you can't, where you can unload all that stuff, it comes
02:27 right out with a couple of pins and you're good to go.
02:28 If I could have my assistant here.
02:29 I'm going to pull it out.
02:30 I'm going to pull it out.
02:31 I'm going to pull it out.
02:32 I'm going to pull it out.
02:33 I'm going to pull it out.

02:36 I'm going to pull it out.
02:37 I'm going to pull it out.
02:38 I'm going to pull it out.
02:39 I'm going to pull it out.
03:00 I'm going to pull it out.
03:29 I'm going to pull it out.
03:30 I'm going to pull it out.
03:31 I'm going to pull it out.
03:32 I'm going to pull it out.
03:33 I'm going to pull it out.
03:34 I'm going to pull it out.
03:35 I'm going to pull it out.
03:36 I'm going to pull it out.
03:37 I'm going to pull it out.
03:38 I'm going to pull it out.
03:39 I'm going to pull it out.
03:40 I'm going to pull it out.
03:41 I'm going to pull it out.
03:42 I'm going to pull it out.
03:43 I'm going to pull it out.

03:47 I'm going to pull it out.
03:48 I'm going to pull it out.
03:49 I'm going to pull it out.
03:50 I'm going to pull it out.
03:52 Yeah, you can really make your money back quick if you get the right part and the right
03:56 application.
03:57 Yeah, I would think so.
03:58 Watch your eyes.
04:03 Where are you guys at?
04:08 All the welders that I know run Lincoln.
04:11 Where am I?
04:13 Where am I?
04:14 It's pretty overwhelming when you see how precise that is.
04:33 It really is.
04:34 One thing about a robot, it always repeats itself to get the right fit up and the right
04:38 application.
04:39 Yeah.
04:40 Typically, the fit up needs to be within one half the diameter of the wire size.
04:44 So if you're running a No. 35 wire, you have to be pretty tight-tolerant.
04:48 But if you get the right application, you can save a tremendous amount of money.
04:52 These machines never take smoke breaks.
04:55 They show up for work every day.
04:57 And it doesn't feel bad for those guys.
05:00 I watch this thing, and wow, somebody lost a job.
05:02 Well, you need an operator.
05:03 And it's one thing about becoming more efficient is we can keep the jobs in the country by
05:09 becoming more efficient and having highly skilled operators rather than guys sitting
05:14 --
05:15 Well, what happens is you still have the same amount of jobs.
05:16 You'll just be making that much more product.
05:18 Absolutely.
05:19 You just keep bringing it in.
05:20 Absolutely.
05:21 Hey, I appreciate you taking the time.
05:22 You're welcome.
05:23 Thank you very much.
05:24 We'll be back, India.
05:25 I'm going to have to get one of these welders.
05:26 Yeah.
05:27 I'm going to have -- I've got to get into it.
05:28 I'll give you my card.
