A word about Craftsman Tools, I bought a set when I was sixteen years old and still use them today. Over the years I have replaced 1 broken ratchet (FREE) and 3 or 4 screwdrivers (abused by me and again for FREE). These tools got used and abused and are still going strong after over 54 years!!!
Thank you for all the streamlined concluded tips on what is more important! I inherited historical tools & bridged the gap by purchasing adapters and what nots. I really miss my Dad & my Uncles. Those guys taught me automotive mechanics growing up. I have older tools that last forever! 👍
I only got to watch my dad growing up and now that I’m grown I noticed how sloppy he was hahaha. He tried and we got through so I can blame the guy. He’s now watching RU-vid too to learn how to fix things more properly and efficiently. Thanks for tuning in
thank u! , flicker on Braun light , check screw magnet on bottom, mine loosens. tighten and stop flicker. Also Makita 1/2 impact rules lug nuts always, Can also replace Lipo batteries to better in Braun lights . Keep filming!
I have tons of harbor freight lights and I'm a full time mechanic I have the Braun ones you have 7 of them I have the 4 of the new 3in 1 Braun lights as well as 2 green and 2 red of the Braun pod lights as well as the Braun underhood light and the new icon Underhood light and the Milwaukee ratchets work well
I agree with your Tool List and I been using my craftsman set for 40 plus years now I use my Stubby impacts for things like the skid plates or get a 12v model
@@PhoRunner there well worth it for the stubby m12 even the dewalt Atomic 20 volt impact wrenches they are compact stubby in size are also worth it both get 90 percent of the vehicle done I do brakes and drive line all the time with them
This is a great list! Other than basic tools for my routine oil changes, I didn't have much at all until I started doing more DIY a couple of years ago, and thanks to your channel and several others, I have most of the tools you mentioned here, and they have come in really handy (it's nice to be able to just quickly grab them now). As others have mentioned, a torque wrench (a 3/8, maybe a 1/2, and on rare occasions, a 1/4). I also keep a couple of small tools in the car: a small ratcheting right-angle screwdriver (Harbor Freight #92630) and a 1/4 in. tiny ratcheting wrench (the former for hard to reach repairs like the throttle position sensor and both of these tools for getting interior screws on/off in tight places like those on the doors, dash, fender flares, etc.). Thanks for more great suggestions. And as someone else said, if you haven't done so in a previous video, I'd be curious what tools you take for off-road adventures (do you take a Hi-Lift, RotopaX, just a few I'm considering).
Most things don't need a High torque impact you can do 90 percent with a mid torque or a stubby Compact impact wrench I would say a Small Hand full of times the high torque is needed
Companion flang you showed at the end of the video is 87 foot pounds that the drive shaft connects to on the tranfercase its alot higher on the diff Pinion
Very handy for shops with lifts. (Ground isn’t in the way). I find only the small ones are useful but not something I always use. I also have the 6 sided one so it’s a bit more difficult to get on there
@@PhoRunner half the time I'm doing work on the ground in the gravel only time it's easy is if I'm at one of my shops 99 percent of my house is Gravel so eh I tend to use them more even on my non lifted vehicles and they seem to work fine for me looks like you have a preference don't make it better or worse then my preference just different
The 6ton stands are worth it! I made the mistake of thinking I could get away with the 3ton stands for cheaper but it just wasn’t worth that risk. That extra $40 bucks at HF is worth working under your T4R another day.
i don't know if there's that much risk using the 3 tons. . 3 ton jacks will hold 6000 lbs, a 4runner weighs 3700 lbs. if you're using 4 jacks to lift the whole truck, u have 12000 lbs capacity for a 3700 lb truck. still went with the 6 ton jacks though. because of HEIGHT. they're much taller
@@PhoRunner thanks ! Also wondering what battery do you have lol because I want to do a full L.E.D conversion but I read about voltage going down a lot but I figured you have a lot of things wired up
