Thanks Frank for hooking up my machine.I know it was a headache to fix dudes messy ass job. I appreciate you taking pride in the saftey of my family by doing the job correctly.

[@GLifeUTV]

Hope all is well brotha

[@thisizpeterz8606]

I’m not a pro installer but I like working on my own stuff! I am very picky and want everything hidden and looking good. I’ve been watching ur videos since day one and i can say my ride looks a lot better than pro shop installs. Thanks for the videos brother! Ur always the go to guy for any questions or guidance. Keep up the good work bro!!!

[@GLifeUTV]

Thank you for the kind words🙏🙏

Outstanding video Frank. Class move not to drop the 💣 on the guy for bad workmanship, awesome work as always bro. I learn from every video, thank you for that. 👍

Heck yea. I appreciate it

All those wires gave me anxiety!! Takes time and patience! I use to be great at all this stuff. Now I get impatient and tear stuff up. ( like an old man) I'm only 43!! Ahhh !! Nice, clean, professional work!!

[@GLifeUTV]

I have no patience but for whatever reason wiring gives me some form of meditation. Of course it has to pay right😅

[@DANLARCOMB]

Well done brother, that is how good wiring is done. Great video as I am starting the installation of 5150 187 lights on my X3, I will be following your lead on this one. If I may add a comment use Brady wire label maker to label all your wires, this will save you a lot of headaches. I have my own business wiring Yachts and High End Boats, this is what the customer expects from a quality installer.

[@louiebenavides3679]

Great work! I wish someone local to me in Texas did work like that. Your vids make me want to try the switch pros.

[@GLifeUTV]

If ur installing many accessories. Switchpros is the way to go.. i resisted for awhile. Finally gave in because the conventional style rock switches kept giving me issues. Sand and water would get inside them

[@cdico1062]

Looks good man. Funny thing is I can tear into a motor or work on exterior and do my own wrenching in general, but electrical and proper wiring and control is super intimidating lmao. Nice work!

[@stevenortiz0782]

You always do a bad ass job I used to do ok work until I found you! My work got so much better and I since have attempted to do more of my work thanks alot for all your videos. One thing that I haven't figured out was how to get wire threw the tubing. Would be awesome if you could show how you pull wiring threw the tubing. I know it can't be that easy. That's one thing that I haven't seen in any of your videos. Thanks G for all the videos.

Hey Frank I’m in the market to buying a can am wondering what you recommend to buy a used one or new and what are things to check when purchasing a used can am

[@GLifeUTV]

I couldn't give u a good recommendation as to buy new or used.. Im a buy new kinda guy.. if u are buying used.. first impressions are how clean the machine looks, gives an idea whether the owner kept up on the maintenance.. on canams specifically you can get s good idea on how hard they rode it buy checking the skid plate on how damaged it is.. checking from paint stress cracks in the frame.. inspecting front suspension mounting points for worn out bushings....and of course listen for any unusual sounds from the drivetrain/engine

[@jerrymartinez2446]

You should definitely give the dude who worked on it your KZbin channel to lean how to do it lol I know I learned from all your videos. Even my local shop was impressed with my work 🤙🏼

I dont know bro. I would say think close to 20hrs... 🤔 Maybe an hr or 2 more to undo some of the stuff this other guy did

[@rickbechtel2835]

I like your attention to detail. Hard to find people who take pride in there work and appreciate a clean install. I do have one concern. It is not a good idea to attach ( zip tie ) wires to brake lines. Especially braided steel lines. If wires and brake line happen to chaff and short , you have a high risk of fire. Flash fire if pressure is in the line. Just food for thought.

[@GLifeUTV]

Never thought of that...Good point. I appreciate ur input👌👌👍

Tips for running wires on a stock cage?

[@GLifeUTV]

Weed Wacker string is your friend

[@TheOne-yc1wt]

Another trick I seen in the marine world, that i have yet to try myself is to use fishing line and a shop vac, watched it done on wake towers, as long as you have enough accessible room shouldnt be too hard, feed one side with fishing line, get the suction of a shop vac on the other end and line should come out then you can attach wires to your tail end and pull them through
