      Matt, I’ve been watching your videos for several years now and I have to be honest with you. I would have to believe that the majority of your subscribers are men, like 90% or more, and seeing you have your Lizzy replacement wearing pink on Wednesday’s was bad enough, especially the hat, but man you have to be smart enough to not wear pink yourself. We watch your show because of your bad to the bone vehicles and your adventures and it seems like you’re evolving to something different. It’s Your show, I’m just a subscriber but I bet I’m not the only guy thinking that. Thanks.

    Don’t worry Matt some of us over here across the pond when measuring understand fraction, decimal and metric. Unfortunately being 70, when I went to school back in the early sixties, we were in some sort of confused transition stage. We had to learn fractions of an inch, which was in use at the time, decimal that was going to be commonly used soon, and then just in case it would be used in the future, which it now is, we had to also learn the metric system. So now I measure something and think about it in all the different units, so to me a quarter inch is 0.25 of an inch or 6.4 mm. My diagrams I make when I’m working out a design is a combination of all three because it might be thinking in fractions, metric or decimal at whatever stage of the design. It can make for some confusing drawings!
    By the way, the pink pants need a pair of pink boots would really set off the ensemble.

    Matt, the first car I had title to, was a 1962 Corvair 95 window van. I pulled the engine and replaced the clutch. I also rebuilt both carburetors. It never ran on more than 5 cylinders because I had a bad lifter for cylinder 6, and it leaked oil everywhere, but it did run. I paid 30 bucks for it, and sold it for $150.00 to a guy who owned the local garbage dump. He replaced the bad lifter and gave the van to his grandson.

    for easy storage of bolts and stuff use red cups and masking tape for labels. you can stack the cups and have things stored neatly in a box until assembly. i did that exact thing when working on semis for 10 years. when sometimes having 3 different brands taken apart you need it organized in a way that dont take up much space. the cups are way more durable than you think .

    Matt at 10:45 reminded me of helping my dad change the clutch in a Falcon. We live in Australia. It was an XW Falcon station wagon.
    We only had the front wheels on ramps on the garage floor. Got rid of the tailshaft, loosened all the bolts to the bell housing then dad
    layed underneath while I pulled the bolts and he had it on his chest. Dad wriggled and I pulled and we got him and the gearbox out from under the car.
    Replaced the clutch and reversed the gearbox procedure. Amazing what you can do when you don't have enough money to do it for you.

      @@FYMASMD Oh good grief. How is that in poor taste? Having five or so guys lift something with arms aloft is very much like the famous Iwo Jima flag raise image. It's quite a clever visual comparison actually. They're not equating their momentary struggle to fighting the Japanese, or downplaying the sacrifices made in the Pacific by making the visual comparison to a much-celebrated photograph. It's not an insult to the guys who fought or even the guys who died to say something is visually similar. My Grandpa fought in the Pacific and I'm fairly certain if those guys who died on that island could have been back home working on a car with their friends they would have been. And I'm even more certain that if they knew they were going to be remembered almost 80 years later they'd be ok with that. If anything, I think Iwo Jima and other such sacrifices made by brave men should be cited, mentioned and remembered MORE not LESS. And if done so in everyday settings like workshops and garages where guys work - not just in history classes or on memorial days - all the better. Merely mentioning a thing isn't mocking it. Don't confuse the topic of a 'joke' as the 'target' of it. And in this case there was no target. I mean this is in the nicest possible way, but get over yourself. :)

    hey guys, been wanting to tell you how I think you can solve the problem of towed cars hitting the back of the wrecker, back in the day, we towed cars with a chain wrapped around the 2" ball, then going through a pipe about 3" round and 4' or longer and wrapped around the front bumper of the towed car, it keeps the towed car from closing the gap and making the chain/rope slack, you could use schedule 80 3" abs/pvc down at the bottom two ropes holding the car, you wouldn't even need someone to brake the car then, TRY IT!

    In my neck of the woods, we have alkali clay with a bit of salt in it. You can't leave that in your suspension or undercarriage if you like your rig. It eats everything. The alkalinity causes electrolytic etching of dissimilar metals covered by the clay. To help with this, most private offroad parks have a "bathtub" you can drive into. The tub typically has 3 different depths to cover the different sized rigs. Before going in, a majority of the clay is washed off with low pressure spray bars. These are just powerful enough to knock off the loose clay, but not strong enough to jam clay into places it should not be. Then you pull your rig into the bath, where a slightly acidic cleaner is added to the water, along with some SLA of SLS. Then, a bubbler is activated to agitate the water and knock loose the more stubborn clay. You can let your rig soak for anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on how stupid you drove on the trail. Once done in the bath, it's back to the spray bars for a rinse of your like new undercarriage. I've have this done on a freshly built rig with urethane joints and lithium grease on the urethane. The grease didn't look like it had even been touched,

I have found that my exuberant youth--hunting, fishing, rock climbing, dirt biking, three-wheeling in Wyoming followed by 7 years active duty in the Marine Corps--has left me with a body that makes all kinds of noises that only seem to be getting worse as I work my way through my 50s.

  • @robertdonnell8114
    @robertdonnell8114 Před měsícem +1

    As far as dirt and washing, the US Army did a study that found that too much washing with high pressure water damages vehicles, I am guessing by forcing sand past seals into bearing surfaces. So the Army did away with most of that. You still need to wash the undersides from time to time though.

And end up saying, "WTF do these go to?" And always sort, organize, box, and label them. Makes finding stuff less frustrating. A good way to recycle plastic bags and shipping boxes. I write onto the box the description of project, contents, and date.

    I'm afraid to use a power washer on soft parts. The engine bay, the undercarriage--I'm afraid I'd blow the insulation off of wires or punch holes in hoses. One place I used to work, a temp poured hydraulic fluid into the DEF tank of a tractor. Which he immediately realized and reported, and which led to us discovering that the fuel truck had put _diesel_ in the DEF tank the day before, and we'd run it all day like that without knowing. So stuff was fried, people were fired, and one of the cheapest things that had to be done was getting all the not-DEF stuff out of the DEF tank. For which they tried to use a heated pressure washer. Which cut a hole in the DEF tank. While that did involve a temperature of about 180 degrees, I'm concerned that wire insulation and hoses are softer than the material of a DEF tank.
