My personal preference is to only use hot glue when needed. Pulling paint is fairly common so why risk it unless you need to? Getting a good tool with great leverage is superior to any glue.
I got these from a local Toyota store. You could ask yours and see if they have them. Going to be hard to get them in bulk unless you get them like that.
That guy who walked right past the bear and didn’t notice 😳 lol. We went to glacier a couple of years ago and hope to go back. That trail looks gorgeous. -Candice, Andrew & Riley 🐾
Thanks for the comment! I had a blast! I can't believe that guy didn't see him coming. I thought it was a grizzly, it was a cinnamon bear which was interesting. We have black bears on the east coast where I live. I hope you get to go again, I know I will. I will take a look at your video too.
Thanks for the comment! Yes, I did and it was beautiful. I have been swamped with work and life since I got back. I am working on uploading videos, I am putting another up tonight.
Question if you had the peep sight behind the Romeo5 wirh rail do you think you could see thru or under the Romeo5 to use steel sights without removing Romeo
It would of be very helpful if you showed how you took it apart as well as putting it back together again. You have to think of the ladies out here that have to fend for ourselves…much thanks
@@ctadventurist it is a nice property. I only said it as I was surprised to see it in my feed and thought the background was familiar. Didn't know you did RU-vid. Or your brother. Hope all is well with you. And no, I have a Sierra. I put a are dcu cap on it, and thought about building out the inside. Like the camper build tho.
Appreciate it. I used to do a little RU-vid but stopped. I’m going to film my cross country trip this summer. I figure I’ll be 3k into it when all done.
This video helped me a lot been having that po442 code for a while and went to pump gas and gasoline spilling underneath just changed the hose and no more leaking and it did had a little hole on the filler tube to the tank!!
@@ctadventurist Hey there! I hope you got it figured out by now, but there is a low profile mount that should have come in the box with the red dot. You should just have to unscrew the tall one off the sight and put the shorter one on!
Thanks for that comment! I dont see anything else in the box! I haven't looked into as I have been really busy but maybe I can reach out to them and see if I can buy another mount.
I forget the exact year but my first vehicle at 16 years old was a +/- 1990/91(maybe even an 88/89 idk) Dodge Ram conversion van. It was grey with _pink_ interior, lol. It even had pink curtains! The two rear bench seats folded down into a "bed." I bought that because I was in an indie rock band so I got the van and an enclosed trailer to haul our gear for gigs. It was a truly _great_ vehicle that was incredibly reliable. I drove it everywhere. Hard miles too. On top of it being my daily driver, towing a full trailer to all our gigs, I also drove it back and forth from S.E. Mass, (New Bedford/Fairhaven harbor area) out to the Cape (Hyannis/Yarmouth) because my girlfriend at the time lived out there. And we would take that thing on regular trips to Boston, Providence, P-Town, Newport, back to the cape and back to the South Coast. Many days we'd just randomly cruise the back roads of the Cape. It never gave my any issues, only needed regular maintenance. Looking back that van was a central part of some of the best times and memories of my life (I'm almost 40 now). I still dont remember why in the world I sold it. It needed some kind of larger but not outrageous repair _I think._ I let it go for like $850. The guy who bought it did the fix and it was every bit as reliable for him as it was for me. I always regretted it. Outside of that van and the '02 Tahoe I drive now, I never had any luck with vehicles. Seems like every vehicle in between those two had all kinds of major and inevitability fatal flaws. I'm sure the extension came out great. It already looked good here. Can tell it's solid work. Best of luck.
Thanks for sharing. I've got the _identical_ situation you dealt with here a few years ago. I've currently also got an '02 Tahoe. New copper brake lines, love the truck, typical maintenance. Starting to get some body rot and I could use new bumpers, especially on the back. Anyway I've gotta do this same repair so thanks again. It's nice to get a look at what I'm getting myself into and what to expect. I'd like to get her to 250k+ if possible. 🤞🏻
I have a 2021 Tacoma I use for worn but I also still have my good old trusty Tahoe, I love the thing. I’ve got 215k miles on it, new tires, I rebuilt rear end 2 years ago and it’s very reliable.
I think you could smash it out with a screw driver but I doubt you could siphon gas with it in place, I don’t think a hose could pop it out of place from filler neck.
Awesome work. I'm wondering if you had considered removing the bed from the truck to get at it any easier. I've been thinking about working on my own ford ranger and have seen where others remove the beds from them considerably easier than i would have imagined, given he right hoists and straps were available. Seems like maybe only a dozen or two connections to undo. I personally work on remodeling houses mostly and am constantly on the fence whether to take things apart or fix in place. Just wondering what your thought process is when it comes to the disassembly options. Again, great work, and content as well.
Thanks for the comment. If it was my personal vehicle I would have considered but this was for a customer on a budget, his truck rolled down the driveway and hit other car. Also unfortunately we are in CT where rust is a serious issue. This truck was very clean but typically the bolts are rusted in and break, you have to drill them all out. Not worth it. My customer would never pay that amount of money as the truck was maybe worth 4k and that repair would have been $2500 for me to do.
Thank you for the effort and time put into creating this video....but I need to offer the following constructive criticism: this tutorial really is half-baked at best. It offers no project setup or visual intro to the tools being used--where to get them and how we will be using them. How do you obtain access to the dents since they're clearly in a challenging location. Beyond that it offers no visuals showing the tools in practice (what hand movements will achieve the "erratic pushing" that is crucial to achieving this perfect repair?) We need to SEE what to do to replicate the final product, NOT what the final result will look like. Its like handing someone a cake and saying "go make this". So essentially this "tutorial" is is really a voiceover that relies on the viewers imagination because lets face it--the visuals are redundant and surely dont offer anything in terms of teaching how to do this. It's like watching a time lapse of a tree growing...you don't gain an actual understanding of how the tree is growing, you're just watching it as it grows. Sorry for being so critical...but yeah I'd like the 36:46 of my life back.
Thanks for the comment, where is your video showing paintless dent repair? I didn't see any on your channel. I do not offer classes, this is a tutorial for someone who already has some knowledge of the process showing up close detail of where to push and knock down. I believe you can learn a lot from the video personally. If you are starting PDR I wish you luck on the adventure.
Not much better here in CT this year, $1449 and $1599 for a different model. Hard to believe how much I paid when i bought it not THAT long ago. Hopefully you can survive CA, it is beautiful from what I am told but I could never go any more left that where I am.
Looks like a nice piece of equipment. What type of license (ham, technician, general, etc.) will I need to buy and operator one of these? I’m thinking of going for my license and want to know what I would need for this setup.
i lost my life's memories 12 years ago. I am 34 now. last few weeks I am able to remember some things. I'm having a really hard time with my condition. I remembered some sorta museum and a whale and i am happy to see this video, because I need help remembering my life.
No, not until it finally rusted through…growing up I had a maxima that smelled like gas. We stopped driving it because we couldn’t track down the gas smell, looking back it was probably injector o rings or something.
I have the same thing on my car, same color and everything. How much does something like this cost? I was told that They would need to remove door handle, and the whole door sanded, repaired and painted for $350 which is absurd. Any feedback is helpful thanks
Peter you would need to find a Paintless Dent Removal company in your area. Make sure to find one with good reviews as this repair could easily go bad and crack paint when so sharp. Depending on where you live in the country a dent like this could run $125-500 and in some cases more. Best of luck!
I have the same model, and have constant problems keeping the ash cleared away from the flue pipe opening on stove top. Very narrow opening from box top to stove top. Would not recommend. Look in cut-aways for other models this area have been enlarged.
Thanks for the comment, I upgraded from this stove as it was too small for the space I am heating. The burn time was not that great. My new stove heats all night long and you wake up with a bed of coals. I used to clean the top area with compressed air, I agree with you too narrow. I will be using this in my garage when I install a pipe.
So the well was existing from previous owner and its about 15 feet deep. I have wetlands on property so its a really high water table. I will be building a small well house and putting a pump in there for irrigation.
Great job, looks like part of the repair with the ram jack wasn't shown...Question about to try my 1st ever dent repair, is it true that you start the repair as if you were playing a video of the dent as it was created (backwards) in slow mo?? In other words you would reverse the process of the dent as it was created, would that be correct?
Thanks for the comment, ideally, yes! Do you have any training? There are some great people on RU-vid who do tutorials, I don't, I just share some content as its very time consuming. I have some more videos I will be showing. Unfortunately my camera died but I did buy a new one a few months ago and have started recording some jobs when I can.
