I TURNED MY SXS INTO A FIRE ENGINE 

For those that dont know those Bolts used in the mounts with the big heads are reffered to as elevator bolts . Great video Cody

i used to use the long snap on screwdriver to repair HP Laserjet printers, there was one screw on the assembly that could not be reached with the outer case installed - it saved me hours of lost time and knuckle scrapes, even for a IT nerd. Keep up the great content, commentary, and faith in others. Good luck with the shoulder and the move.

Cody, those carriage bolts are not that special, you just have to know where to look for them. They will have them at a semi trailer dealer/repair shop. Those are used in semi trailers to keep the walls smooth.

Cody, that Blue Monster Teflon tape is literally the best stuff on the market. Also, there's a Green Monster Pipe Dope for larger fittings too. Those are the only two you will ever need. Cheers and good luck with the shoulder. I'm glad that you are allowing people to help and giving yourself some time to heal. Many prayers to you and your family.

"All that confusing metric nonsense" - You sure do know how to troll your European audience! 😂😂😂

If you have an air hose you can blow off stuck tubes lines and hoses. Take a screwdriver and pry open a little spot, them shoot a blast of air in that opening. If really stuck. Squirt a tiny bit of WD40 in the opening. Thanks for the video Cody! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 🖐😁

Resurgence of USA made products, YES I'd LOVE to see this. I've kept a tally of what I have spent buying items USA made (when I can) over foreign made for the past 6 months. It comes to a little over $1,700 more. To keep U.S. businesses/workers in the green is well worth it.

Exciting! Keep on keeping on, don't listen to your detractors. I know its tempting to give in and stop fighting - but you are a light to others. You offer hope.

Sweet loaf is such a good little RU-vid star!

Great video Cody! Glad it went fairly smoothly, and we appreciate the suggestions!

To all you people scrolling through the comments as you watch the video I hope you have a wonderful day 😁

Loved the video. It might take 3 times as long to do a task with the wee one in toe. Next time you do the same thing the wee one will tell you the order of operations and how to do it properly. The satisfaction of a tiny person laying down the law as a project boss is one of the best things I've experienced as a father. The sweet loaf is a charm Cody your grandad will be proud seeing her getting stuck into the tools

Be careful going up a steep hill or sidehill with that slipin unit. You have drasticly altered thé center of gravity.

I have been watching for years and it is amazing seeing changes throughout the years

I have the same long Phillips screwdriver. I got mine in my early twenty’s when I was early into collision repair. Used it to adjust sealed beam headlights.

Snap on screwdrivers for a dollar? I’ll take that deal all day!

A LITTLE HEADS UP ,, as a sailboat owner and of course i turn my own wrenches ,,, TRY MARELON FITTINGS ,, ALL SHIPS CHANDLERY CARRY THEM ( boat parts house) , these fittings are actually a marine grade NYLON fitting ! They come in all plumbing variations/sizes and are tough as nails ,, cost more than plastic but last forever . really enjoy your shows ! A COUNTRY BOY WILL SURVIVE !!

“This is the point where I usually stab myself” 😆 Yep, I’m with ya!

Great video and hope your shoulder gets better. Keep up the great work !

It still amazes me that QTAC have such good engineering/customer service. I appreciate you are an "influencer" but for them to chase you when you have issues says that they will be pretty pro-active for the average Joe! A boom in US manufacture would be good. I'm in the UK and I still buy either US/UK if I can. There is a definite difference in quality. One option for the water in the channel issue is to use a non-setting gasket like Hylomar blue on the base of the soap tank so water can't get in there in the first place. Whatever you do you will end up with rotting stuff, blocked drain or a creepy crawly home in there otherwise. Soft grip (plastic) jaws on the hoses and gently twisting them starting at the top and working inwards is the easiest way to break the hoses free, if someone saw you jamming a screwdriver into a hose in the aviation/critical environment you wouldn't last long!

Cody, just saying when you move all of your tools is to keep it organized so that you dont have to make yet another video on how to organize your shop. :)

I learned a tip just the other day for removing hoses: use a compressed air blower nozzle in there, it will separate the hose from the fitting.

How old is the sweet loaf now?! Crazy to see how those kids have grown. As Jack races towards spreading his wings, I’m curious to see how many items have been ticked on that old preparedness list for men venturing into the world. It’s a list I aspire to for my boy and also I would love to see manly manners make a resurgence here and there. Best of luck to you and the family on this new chapter in life, we thank you for being so open and sharing with your family.

You know sometimes your taste in something’s are not quite what I’d consider but after seeing the bottle of Tapatío I will never question you again haha you are a good man Cody

So cool saw the vid of you unpacking it. Real fun, exciting to see you getting to it

Wonderful how he helps his daughter to learn stuff instead of crying for help! I bet she's more competent at fixing problems than anyone with a master's degree when she's five...

Of the joy of taking apart /putting together a well made part or piece of machinery. It certainly saves my blood pressure and the temptation to throw it across the workshop😊

Love learning things. We own some property and this QTAC system for water protection looks awesome.

Next time you have a stuck hose, use and air compressor to help blow off the stuck hose. Lift up a corner of the hose with your pick and blow in the compressed air.

Sometimes when your working on a project with kids around you just have to 'grin and bear it'.

Blue monster also has thread sealant also known as pipe dope. Blue monster is definitely what I like the best.

Haven’t bought a China made product since March. Will pay more for American from now on. Yes connectivity and cheap was nice but man I forgot how much of a difference there was in quality

Cody, shooting a little compressed air down the side of the rubber tube will help release it from any connections.

I have two boys who are over 14 years apart. It sure is fun watching them grow up. Just remember how fast it goes. My youngest is 9 now and it seems like yesterday he was sweetloafs age. Congratulations on the new place!

I’m happy to see that everything fit on the smaller tank, nice job 👍

My husband works in construction, he’s a pipe layer. He had a repetitive strain injury on his right shoulder for years. We used to have to try to tape ice bags and wrap elastic bandage around his shoulder after work. His wasn’t torn, but same area. The only thing that started helping his muscle injury heal was when I started feeding him jello and adding plain gelatine to most of our cooking. Muscle and skin injuries benefit from more animal protein in the diet. It’s needed to rebuild the tissue properly.

The baby is just outside playing. I love it.

You have such a beautiful family. Love watching videos of when you are making or taking apart stuff. Great video. You & family stay safe.

I would love the U.S to be self reliant again

That looks cool. Though i fail to see how metric ( decimal system) can be confusing. You must be an east coast man. 😂🤣

A couple of things! I also switched to monster tape, i have been using the gray type it does both gas and water. Second thing is boy I feel your pain on the plastic fitting... I don't know how many times i have been heavy handed trying to get something done and broke one... love your channel as always! God bless you and yours!

Just a dumb question. If the weight of the large container of water is the problem, why not just fill the container only part-way? The footprint is the same....

i like your tool talk lol many good insights

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve had the chance to watch a video. Jack surely has grown up! Keep up with the great content.

Much LOVE to you and your Family regarding the Move!❤

I cant wait to see how it performs on the pioneer! thanks for the video.

So adorable "Hey poppa, hey poppa". Love it. God Bless you all and have a safe move!

I 1st thought she was looking at an ultrasound.. I almost congratulated you and Misses W. haha

I am a Metrologest which is a calibration engineer !! I have 2 of the 24" phillips and flat blade screw drivers!! They have saved me so many times trying to change or realing a piece of equipment ! Best investments I have made!!

Looks like things are coming together!

May God Bless you and your family as well.

I almost always use a long shank phillips ever since I first used one working on large format copiers and laser printers. Just seems better to me.

Slick setup bud, keep on keepin on...

I’ve been becoming a huge fan of your channel and watching your family everyday.

Noone: Cody: put Locktite on selflocking screws👍

That qtac is an amazing unit. Little outta my budget but I'm planning to put something together similar for myself. Fire preparedness seems to always be on my back burner of things to do. After your recent videos I'm putting it up towards the top. No, I dont have the same acreage you do...but I've got neighbors who are elderly.

the young lady really likes the tools. smile

So glad you did this vid ... I was looking for Elevator Bolts and didn’t know what they were called. It was getting frustrating, problem solved !! Wooooo !

Cody. Use one of your small torches to heat the rubber hose.

Without fail, I always grab a 5/16" nut driver whenever I know a screw clamp is involved! Straight screwdrivers slip out repeatedly when trying to loosen or tighten one. I have run into a few with 3/8" but most are 5/16.

The pioneer 700s are a as tough as it gets we load 1500-2000 of cattle mineral in the bed and run through rough canyon country all day long. We pull well over 2 tons of fence posts and wire through corn fields and pasture ground. Only problem we have is tires. Not fast and not fancy but so far they’re the only ones that hold up in our line of work.

“Confusing metric nonsense” oh Americans you do make me laugh

When wrapping Teflon, wrap tape 3 times around the fitting. In regard to the hose stuck to the fitting, try using WD-40, silicone spray, soapy water, or oil, use an awl, or the screwdriver to pull the hose open just enough to get the lube between the hose and the fitting...Hope this helps

Hey Cody, from the few images i could see it doesnt look like a rotatorcuff rupture. From the symptoms you discribe it sounds like a subluxation of the shoulder (a commen issue after a slipoff with the arm or a fall on the schoulder that causes the humureshead to slide a few milimeters forward (that doesnt show on an mri)) and / or a few ribs that are stuck so your scapula cant move correctly. Most of the time it is the 1 rib that is stuck that causes the clavicula to move incorrect. If the clavicula moves incorrect the scapula doesnt move when it should (because its the only bone that connects the shoulder to our body) so your humures gets stuck. I hope it makes sense. If i were in your area i would give you a treatment. But i can only anwser your questions if you have some about your schoulder or back. Greetings from a dutch physiotherapist

I pray to the good lord that you are correct with us going back to MADE in the USA!!!!

The teddy bear dropped in the was so cute, and stuff dropped in the tank happens every now and then in the fire world. lol. I may have had my BK radio sloshing around in a tender tank for a few hours. It still works though. Thanks!

You’re right. Blue monster tape is excellent also I’m glad you noticed you were putting that tape on backwards! It’s all I saw to begin with and it drove me crazy. Lol. Good luck with the move

Cody, I don't think you would be wrong by buying a engine, pump, and hose reel to fit on that big tank you swapped from. Never enough fire putter outer thingys!

Wow!!! Your son grew up sooooo fast! Good to see he's becoming a great young man! Good job mom and dad!

Metric: too confusing for people who can add 32s of an inch in their heads.

Jacks cooking is a thumbs up.

So idk how right my father might be but when it comes to hoses like that he taught me to put a very light coating of axle grease on the nipple where the hose meets it so it doesn't stick to bad like it did on you. He has told me that it helps keep it fresh, keeps it unstuck, and it helps create a better seal. I did it on my car radiator when I replaced it and it hasn't had any issues.

Sometimes a little silicone spray helps with those rubber to plastic connections. 👍🏻

I have a set of those knippex pliers, I thought they were a gimmick until I used it for the first time. Ever since then I use it all the time

Using pliers (Channel Locks) to twist hoses helps break the connection for easier disconnects.

Why have I not been rolling the teflon tape off the bottom of the roll!! awesome, you can always be learning something.

A little heat in those hoses helps get them off, great job!!

Great job with the Teddy Bear retrieval.

I'm a young father of two daughters. I wasn't expecting to learn a good lesson on raising kids. Thanks for that.

Yes! Thanks! Would love to hear about the honda. In the market for 1 for use on my 100acre deer lease...👍👍

Man, you took the words out of my mouth when you said this is usually where I stab my hand!!

Amazing parenting. Proper father figure. Caring and focused.

Good luck with your move! Too adorable with your daughter!

Jack looks just like his ms wranglerstar

That Blue Monster tape is pretty thick. Depending on the application (of course here you have large threads so more wraps won't hurt), you can get away with 2.

Blue Monster is good for air and water. I have been using the grey Mega Tape for oil. Works fantastic.

Am sure that time will zoom by. Good luck with the move -epic challenge ahead

Bought several Fenix & FourSevens lights many years ago (CR123a), all still functioning. Bought a bundle of 3 rechargable Olights last week & I love them so far. USA

The problem is that if it isn't in the store when you go to buy what you need, you can't buy it. Made in America is really nice! And I would buy it more often if it was available, but when I have a project and need things done and need a tool or item to complete it, I can only buy what is there. The Made in America option decision is being made way above the consumer level many times anymore. Here in Oklahoma we do have stores devoted to products Made in Oklahoma which is great, we need stores geared to things made in America!!!

I almost unsubbed when you had the teflon going the wrong way.

I loved made in the USA 🇺🇸! Talk about quality 👊!

Invest in a set of hose picks. You will love them

Hey Cody always enjoy your videos.

Jack is wearing a Land To House shirt!

Good thing you check out the rotatory cuff for injury, trust me you do not want the injury.

We use that tape on our steam fittings it's a great product

Great video as always Cody @WranglerStar

Looking forward to your new location. Question, why not keep the large tank and just put less water in it when on the small vehicle?

I'm a plumber, and I was just about to tell you you were doing the Teflon tape installation wrong.... And you caught it yourself😉😂😁

I’m excited to see the new homestead. But I’m already missing the view of Mount Fuji.
