Took apart my HF 6 Ton Jack Stands of Doom to see why they were failing. Its kinda scary. Quick search on Harbor Freight's site and they are still taking them in on recall. If you haven't already, take yours in and get them exchanged! images.harborfreight.com/hftweb/recalls/Jack-Stand-Recall-56371_61196_61197.pdf

Budget Friendly Water Filter for Spotless Car Wash?

Inline RV water filters like this make a great budget friendly solution for a hard water problem! Its not exactly spotless, but it made a huge improvement for me.

Roof rack and DIY fairing install on my '01 E38
zhlédnutí 4,2KPřed 4 lety
In this vid I "mod" a roof rack to fit, fabricate a fairing from scratch for the rack and install them on my E38. Since I've had the 740 its always felt a bit too formal. It needed something that makes it look a bit more playful even though its just a big speedy couch. Nobody makes a rack fit kit for the E38 so I had to hunt around a bit to find pieces that would work, thankfully I just had to ...

I don't think drilling and tapping a single hole in a seemingly random car part would be particularly interesting. This little job for a friend's project was a good chance for me to try something different. I haven't put much effort into previous videos and I think it really shows. So I took this opportunity to try a different style of shooting and editing and I'm kinda proud of what I managed ...

you used CRV traling arm for your civic? whats the diffrence between CRV traling arm(beside hub for awd) ?
Thanks for the video, you have certainly improved the engagement depth of the 2 parts, however I'd be concerned with the thinner edge on the pawl to perhaps shear under heavy load....and I now see you've addressed that issue as well.
Why do you need to back pedal ? Just don't 😮
Aren’t the teeth on that chain ring directional? Might wanna just get some 4mm spacer washers and some 16mm chain ring bolts off Amazon.
Did you notice any difference in pedaling with the one spacer flipped to the other side?
Not at all, tho I haven't been paying that much attention to it
Chinese rubbish.
how to know which cable is which?
What times are you running
How does it feel on the road?
Aside from riding a bit stiff, just like any other minivan. The steering is a bit heavy without the power steering pump. It was my daily for a couple years, ended up putting 83k on the clock.
Good job bro
Del Sol!
Sep 2023, I just returned 4 of these to HF. Got $130 in store credit. Or I could have $100 cash. I always need something so I went with the credit. Thanks for the vid!
Why not keep the bike the way it was designed and get a new one with the new standards?
they will not , just exchange them !!! You must pay the difference in price from what they were when you purchased them to what they cost now !!!!!!!
I recently had this problem (2 weeks ago). I bought a Shimano M5100 crankset which is advertised as being compatible with a 48mm chainline, which is what I have because my rear wheel is a non-boost 135mm QR axle wheel. I installed the crankset and was having a tough time shifting into my larger gears. After measuring the chainline it turned out it was 55mm, so Shimano lied in their documentation. To solve this i just went to Home Depot and bought some M8 stainless steel washers. The washers measured 1.3mm thick, so i put two of them together on the chainring bolts in between the crank and my chainring and it pretty much solved my spacing issue. It's not 100% where it should be but it's close enough for me. I do want to go ahead and add one more washer but first I have to find some replacement chainring bolts that are long enough.
Chainline is also determined by your bottom bracket spindle width. You need both the crank/chainring and bottom bracket to work together to get the proper chainline; non-boost (48 to 50) and boost (51 to 53). The Shimano M5100 crankset has 3 versions; a 1X and a 2X for 135/142 rear hub and a boost version. You need the matching BB to get the correct chainline.
@@yellowsheeps I've got the M5100 X1. For my BB I've got a Shimano MT800 which actually came with a couple shims. Thankfully I didn't use any of the shims because it would have made the problem even worse.
@@NonLegitNation2 The MT800 is the XT bottom bracket for the XT 12 speed cranks. Not sure if there is a difference in spacing between the 11 speed Deore and 12 speed XT cranksets. In any case, the matching 11 speed Deore cranks use BB-MT501 or SM-BB52 bottom brackets for correct chainline. Was much easier to mix and match to get the correct chainline with square taper BB's and cranks.
@@yellowsheeps thanks for the info. I'll go ahead and buy the MT501 or BB52 and see if that helps. Does it matter which one or would either of them work? I know my BB works with a 63/73 BB and it says the BB52 is 83 so I'm assuming go with the MT501?
@@NonLegitNation2 MT501 is the new replacement for BB52. Both will work. However, looking at the Shimano specs, there are 3 versions of Deore M5100 cranks: FC-M5100-1 (1X for 135/142 and 148) with a chainline of 52mm. FC-M5100-2 (2X for 135/142) with a chainline of 48.8mm and FC-M5100-B2 (2X for 148) with a chainline of 51.8mm. You said you have a 1X crank for 135 QR, so if you use the recommended bottom brackets above, you will get a chainline of 52mm which will work with a 1X 10 or 11 speed cassettes.
what a car!
What country did you get this LHD version from?
Where did you get the lower control arms from?
Hey what size is your crank pulley and belt size ? Can you plz provide some info thanks 🙏🏼
I bought bull boost shifter and didn't buy the same brand cables but it won't go over into first or 2nd it locks
I’m having a similar issue with shifting any update?
What code did you getvto determine that u needed to replace that part.i have a toyota 1993 supra and I got code 71
Did you do a build video on this? And if not could i pick your mind about the build? looking at doing something like this to mine
👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎
Removing material off the pawl would make me nrervous. Each to their own. One thing that would improve the "A-frame" style stands that are so common, is to weld some strap on the sides where the legs are open. Those "zipper" welds that extend vertically above the open areas are often only welded on one side, inner or outer, and I've seen bad welds and some that are pretty decent, but they are all chinese. Strapping the legs together will greatly reduce any possibility of those zipper welds letting go and the stand pancaking. On Harbor Freight's current version, they have added leg straps. If you go to their site and look, you can see it and they call them reinforcement braces. Plus they added backup pins.
That’s what I was thinking
but..how is it a spotless water system if it leaves your car covered in water spots? 😂 judging by the shot at 1:47 , this is far from “spotless”
This is a great video and you did a great job with that fairing. I also have an E38 and want to install a roof rack. Do you have a parts list for your Thule rack? Thanks!
I didn't know that ratchet Jacks were failing until I watched the video earlier tonight. So I quickly searched CZcams for Harbor Freight six-time jack stands failing and I came to yours. Not exactly a comfortable feeling that I'm getting under 9,000 lb of a semi truck working on it and if those jack stands give out I'll be a 220 lb hamburger pancake. I guess it's off the Home Depot to get some 4x4 cribbing going under the frame.
What would happen if you get 2 of them and make a diy 2 stage filtration system?
We’ll said on the warnings and the disclaimer. 👏
OK, you fixed it. But why do MTBers insist on back pedaling? Not a criticism, just a question?
Don't always want to power to preferred foot position to setup for an obstacle? Sometimes you don't have clearance for a full crank so you kind of ratchet yourself along with partial cranks. At least that's what I find myself doing
Backpedaling to get the pedals in a good starting position is common at traffic lights, or generally getting started from any sort of stop regardless of discipline. A good drive train should simply never frig up the derailleur from backpedaling or otherwise self-damage itself no matter what I do with the cranks.
I noticed that you have what looks like an Epoxy ceramic coating on your garage floor. I'm also looking at having this done to my garage and then later planning on installing a Max Jax car lift. How difficult/easy was it to drill through the coating to set in your anchor bolts? Also when you are bolting the lifts to the floor were there any issues with the texture of the coating created for the post to sit flat?
Having an epoxy coating or not didn't make any difference in drilling the holes and I can't imagine it having any affect when installed. You'll shim around the individual bolts to square up the lift and any irregularities will just get crushed flat. To be honest, I haven't installed the lift on this floor as the slab is too thin.

Whats the advantage of race spec over standard?
Where are the shifter cables coming from? From heater core?
Hello, what Inner diameter size did you use for the heat sleeve? Thank you
That click at 5:14 is SO satisfying!
Nice mod! I'm doing a 1x11 swap on my 2003 Gary Fisher, so I also took a crash course on the chainline thing recently. Loving the cars in your garage btw. I've been looking for weird LS swap cars to do one day, and never thought an L300 could be one. Well done.
did you put the motor in through the door? the wind shield? or from underneath? with the trans connected or separate?
Through the door yeah. Trans went in separate from underneath.
Everything is harder to do on an L300 😂 I’ve been avoiding this one. Thanks for the video !
Awesome video brother.
how many cars can you wash with that filter?
I just clicked for the starion/conquest LoL
How do you know if you need to adjust the cables or not ? Want to make sure I’m going fully into the gears but not too far so I don’t stretch the cables.
Did you figure your cables out?
@@anthonymanz9355 sold the car but yeah I put a stock shifter back in it
Your Van is dope! I just got this Van too. Did you have to mod anything to get the American Racing wheels and tires on?
Did a 6 lug conversion long before considering those rims, but I think they are available in 5 lug as well?
lmao what an epic shitbox. I can dig it.
Nice install Bro!!
You improved the engagement, but reduced the material and strength of the pawl. Yes, probably reduced capacity. At least you have seen and dealt with the issue.
Wrong.
100% agree.
Yep !
Nov 20th 2021 Just returned the recalled ones and just bought 2 set of the Daytona 3tons👍
Thanks
