Follow me for advice from boat and car repairs, to martial arts and worshiping Jesus and everything in between. This is a clean channel with no profanity or adult-only content.
One week we may be out at the range learning how to shoot, another we may talk about good pushups. You might find me cooking a steak, or replacing a heater on a pool.
This is a greater place to come and learn to be man!

Great video Brian. One question: when you connected the old radio harness to the Rockville head unit harness before applying the athletic tape, did the wire colors match 1-to-1?
No, some were different. Have to follow the guide from the radio and the adapter. Fortuanly for me the old radio was a car radio and I was able to look up the wire guide.
Question: did the usb and aux port in the armrest work after this? I know they are powered directly by the deck itself, and as I use it to charge my phone, would kinda like to still keep it. Great video seems far too good to be true ! 😂
About the standard V/P manifolds & elbows, if in salt water, the elbows are good for 5 or 6 seasons, after that as you can see the internal rust starts clogging the water passages, and your running temps will rise, hopefully you don't get a leak at the manifold/elbow joint. What many people do is remove the elbow and toss it (for sure it will be too far gone to keep using) and resurface the top of the manifold, to V/P's specs, the manifold will usually last longer perhaps as long as 8 years. A trick I learned is to (careful, flammable) prop it up level and fill the water passage with acetone. If there is any small crack or rotted through area, you'll see acetone leaking at the exhaust ports. If it passes this test it probably can be reused. Put it back together with a new elbow & gasket. Acetone has lower surface tension than water does, that's why this will show a leak sooner than water. I'm thinking the longest I'd run a manifold is about 8 seasons. If you don't want to spend the $$$ for the stainless steel units Barr Marine makes a nice aftermarket replacement for V/P, OMC or Merc systems. I do like the one piece design, no gasket to leak, both OMC and Merc tried this on their V6 engines , but both discontinued them because it was too hard to get them accurately cast (wall thickness was a problem, sometimes too thin) and they went back to the 2 piece manifold + elbow design. Merc made a further improvement, called the dry joint, where the water passages are moved away from the center exhaust passage, so it is really impossible for water to leak in, as with the wet joint design used previously. More expensive but well worth it.
suggestion: When you have to install new exhaust....to make the whole job a lot easier: take one of the new bolts to a hardware store, get 2 longer matching ones. cut the head off and cut a slot in the stub where the head of the bolt was. Remove the 2 outermost old bolts, then thread in the 2 longer headless bolts, before removing the rest of them. Then you can slide the old manifold off, remove the old gasket, clean up the gasket surface, slide your new gasket on, and then slide your new manifold on. Replace the rest of the bolts, and use a screw driver in the slot you cut in the stub of the headless bolts, to remove them. Then install the last 2 bolts and torque all to spec. Easy peasy, much easier than wrestling with a 40 lb manifold trying to keep the gasket lined up etc. When you have to do this job about every 5 years or so, you learn a few tricks.
Actual trash takes. Also, if you just stopped talking throughout the episode you might have actually heard the storyline and understood why every part of this episode was pure class. The entire video is you all just being negative and cracking jokes about things you are clueless about. Reminded me of “Mean Girls” just gossiping and clueless.
Your channel is good, but the one thing I don't like is that you guys talk way too much during the this episode (haven't seen your whole channel or other episodes). Should keep it to a minimum. Wait till after the episode to talk about your opinions. You guys talked so much that you missed when Rex made an appearance.
Where did you find our old yellow jug, I've been looking for that for years ! We drank the frozen sunshine that came in the cardboard cans. I would pull off the white plastic rip-cord around the metal top and pop it off and then muscle the whole frozen mass out with a big wooden spoon, add 3 1/2 or 4 cans of water (makes more juice that way) and then stir the bejeezus out of it.
I was seven in 1985, and so far, the only thing I recognize is the pitcher. Ours was yellow, though, and contained sweet tea. 😊 Edit: Ok, I recognize cartoons, Mario and Duck Hunt, as well. Lol!
Didn't GenX OJ involve a white Ford Bronco, too? And that wooden spoon brings back some memories! 😮 That utensil single-handedly stopped me from mouthing off to my mom. Glad she didn't use TWO hands!
@@corinnewolfe-betz7478 I'm sorry but we just never had anything like this in the UK, we got our OJ off the milk man when they used to come round back in the day. It came in a milk bottles, so a pint of OJ in a milk bottle,
My mom sold Tupperware 😅😅😅 we use to have to help at those parties at other peoples houses. She did alright for a few years . I miss that indestructible food serving and storing stuff. The memories
Did you know the farther you keep the pitcher from the sink of running water thus the increased likelihood of spilling the can of water makes the orange juice taste that much better? Moron!
