In this video we clean off the emblems we "masked" with Vasoline. This is the easiest and cheapest masking technique I've ever seen or used. No need to remove emblems and glue them back on after the paint job.

Toyota Sienna and Rav4 AWD very common failure is the bearing in the Rear Viscous Coupler goin bad. You know you have this issue because of the noise/growl coming from the rear of the vehicle while driving. It's louder or more pronounced with speed and only gets worse over time. It never comes and goes, it's always there.

Mechanic shops charge anywhere from $2800-$3200 for this repair (at least in Utah that's what we were quoted). Doing some math against even the lower of the 2 quotes you are WAAAAY ahead to buy some tools from the list below and do the work yourself. You'll have some new tools, some new skills and the confidence to tackle projects in the future! WIN/WIN/WIN:

Starting with $2800 you will need the part and the following tools (Amazon Affiliate Links):

This overheating issue is getting out of hand! Thought we had this overheating sorted out last time. But the symptoms are the heater stops working first at idle, then it works at RPM/driving, then it stops working while driving, then starts to overheat. Basically it's running out of coolant over time. After huge amounts of testing all the various options I finally determined it was the Head Gasket leaking pressure back into the coolant chambers over pressurizing the radiator cap and overflowing the overflow bottle. Spoiler alert! Haha

Giving @Rigs__Rigs another shakedown drive and found the vibration issue when it's all said and done shouldn't be too hard to resolve.
Also ran over to my buddy "Mean Gene's" (aka @flingndirt_UT) to help with a transmission install. I helped the day before with my harbor freight press to swap the gears. Good times in the garage.

Hope you guys hang with me while I take care of that old Corolla to get it ready to sell, this will help fund the next big project. What is that project? Who knows!!!! Help me find one, what should it be?

What a blast! I was part of the crew for Stevens Truck Power and the white Chevy Squarebody. Robby Layton called out Kyle to see who would win in the tug or war - Ford or Chevy. I guess Chevy won cuz in the end the Ford was stuck and had to be pulled out by the Chevy that helped it dig the hole it stopped in.

Here's how I (the idiot) "fixed" a rusty cracked paint section on my Ram Rebel. It's NOT how you should do it, but you might if you are an idiot like me! Mistakes were made, but it's BETTER than it was and should stay rust free for a while.

Sometimes removing the Studs from a diesel wheel hub can be a real struggle. Especially in locations where they use salt on the roads during the winter. Kyle with @yourdieselspecialists was impressed with AIM Extreme Duty All Purpose and will now reach for it instead of PB or any other lubricant.

I've been invited to the Off Road Games 2024 by Kyle from @yourdieselspecialists and this is a huge opportunity for both of our channels. Follow along as we get his 86 Chevy Squarebody K30 ready for the big dance! It needs rear brakes and a locker for the rear as well. Kyle thinks he's a huge underdog in the event, but please come out and support him (and me supporting him) for this event. If you can't come out, please subscribe to our chanels and follow along with both of us as we share our experience. We are both nervous and excited for this!

I've never heard of cryo blasting or dry ice blasting for cleaning under the hood of anything let alone a patina 1972 Ford F100 truck. In this video we explain the process and what all it can be used for as well as some of the limitations. Overall this is pretty COOL, and that's the truth!

Using dry ice to blast away rust, debris and reveal the sweet patina underneath. Safe for use on plastics, rubber, electronics and fabrics. Was really cool to see this in action. Full length video with Scott Stone the owner of Stone Pro Services drops next!

I've never heard of this technology before, but I guess it's been around for a long time. It's getting more popular in the automotive world due to it being more gentle on original paints. Will remove loose rust, scale and caked on debris with relative ease.

Headlight assembly full of water? I'll show you how I "fix" that! I'm cheap and saved myself about $500. Was gonna just replace it, but it's "good enough" for now so cancelled my order. This video was recorded in December 2022. I'll do a followup video soon to show if it's still working as "fixed" or not. Subscribe so you don't miss out on that.
