How many projects have you watched us build with EcoFlow?! Shop EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3: bit.ly/3RbfMss

[@dellmerlin6328]

I like your EcoFlow projects. It shows us what is possible. A really cool project would be to take the abandoned pickup from the road project, replace engine/transmission with a 3 phase motor, add a variable frequency drive, powered by the DELTA Pro 3, with solar panels on top. You would have the first DIY EcoFlow PV powered PU for Oliver to drive.

[@johnhamilton9229]

Happy to say, I have watched every video you have posted and enjoyed them all including the train. Keep filming and I'll keep watching 👍

[@marcbollat2039]

Super intéressant toutes ces vidéos merci 🎉

[@URackADisciprine]

Enough with the terrible EcoFlow infomercials already. Ridiculously overpriced and overhyped.

[@brandonEpicAero]

Love your videos but my experience like many others with EcoFlow is that their customer service is extremely bad when you receive a broken unit. They are difficult to get ahold of and never seem to be listening to your complaint. I had to act like I wanted to speak to sales to get to a human. Just thought you should know. I was going to ask for a replacement unit initially but I don’t trust the company anymore.

[@stephanebelisle7695]

Happy Father's Day, Riley. With the Alison transmission in neutral and on level ground, if you press the up and down arrow on the selector at the same time, you can check the oil levels and diagnostic of the transmission

[@carlwest859]

Careful, that enables the ejection seat on some rigs.

[@jeffblank9915]

Happy Father's day. The boat makes a return visit. I still like the Idea of the boat as your retreat from being filmed. Everyone needs time off. It is good to see it every once in a while. Make sure you take that time off and enjoy living.

[@BuckSavage.]

Just a practical note. Your mud flaps are facing the wrong direction. A lot of people face them with the chevrons out for looks but, those chevrons are there to knock down some of the water spray. You two 1/2 are so very talented, please keep up the good work and content. Happy 1st Father's Day.

[@StarHunter28]

Did not know that, thanks for sharing.

[@p9raceway759]

Mirrors on hood will help visibility in conjunction with door mirrors

[@oldseabee2938]

Funny steering gear box between front and rear is a delay and accelleration mechanism. Gives your rear steering no turns for about 90 degrees of steering wheel turn, then accellerates the rear turning to catch up after that. Do not take it apart. Springloaded and stuff! Boat trailer wiring went smoothly! And that hitch is super cool! Happy Fathers day Riley! Hope to see you guys on the lake some day!

[@marciadarby3]

My heart smiles every time you mention Spokane. I was born there and still have family there. My grandfather is memorialized on Mt Spokane. Recently my uncle’s plaque was added, too.

@@AmbitionStrikes I'm not sure this will fit in a C130 -- too tall. You would need a C17 or C5 to move it around. Also have you looked online for a maintenance manual for the truck? It would probably help with the diagnosing and fixing of problems.

You are in the world of Big trucks now. Seeing you with that 'breaker bar' Our weedy 40 tonners here in the UK we use 1 inch square drive and our torque wrenches are 6 foot long

[@brettbatchelor3205]

you gott in the lake... OMG that is snow cold water. Good stuff. Summer starts next week slip mates.

[@Goot449]

Sticking brakes can cause overheating transmissions. It’s hard to notice if one is a bit stuck on a large truck.

[@Ronn443]

Tie a rope to your old hose helps pull the new hoses through

[@Midcon77]

It bears repeating - you guys are one of the most fun and intriguing couples on YT, and when you bring your friends along it just gets better. Riley, keep buying military gear - I just love watching how you have to modify it to make it work for you! LOL Have a great summer all!

[@greglammers9905]

I got a little nervous when you tightened those filter bolts with the dewalt. With the aluminum case of that Allison it is very easy to over torque those bolts. The torque wrench is your friend. I can’t tell you how many of those I fixed the threads on. Also, do your initial trans oil level check with the dipstick, then after it’s warmed up on a level surface in neutral, you can push both arrow buttons on the keypad ( at the same time ) will give you the oil level on the keypad display . Way more accurate

[@larryboy8821]

I cringed. Nothing like the service tech standing there watching you drop the valve body to repair the threads while getting a trans fluid shower.

[@jayedavies3686]

You are the first American KZbinr to know how to paw from a bucket into a funnel with out some instructions. Great to see that you have learnt something from someone else that knows how to do it right

[@markjordan348]

It's Father's day and this is bittersweet. I started watching you because you were making things happen with minimal stuff overcoming obstacles with whatever you had at hand. And now you have progressed to the point where each week is another episode of what cool new toy did we buy this time. My best to the two of you and Oliver.

[@Marcus_Woodard]

Some people call that progress.

[@markjordan348]

@@Marcus_Woodard I'm glad they did well, but the fact of the matter is I'm no longer looking to them for ideas that I might emulate. I'm never going to be the successful KZbinr that makes enough to afford to buy that much equipment. Frankly my family farmed 200 Acres with less equipment that they have to play on 20 acres.

[@richardwhite3711]

I would suggest in the future when pulling hydraulic hoses tie a colored string to it when removing so when replacing you can use the string to pull the hose back through with the same orientation

[@prinzeugenvansovoyen732]

3:22 the best method for replaceing lines is useing a male to male coupling and pull some line in while you pull the other out - then do the same with the new line

Bolt polycarbonate windows on hinges on the truck doors. Easy, and strong. And cover them with a thin soft laminate as scratch protection. You could even add more window sections into the doors.

[@thisolesignguy2733]

Sav e those armor mounts, they work absolutely awesome to mount an external toolbox with on the back of the cab. I've used those on 2 different trucks, I got them from a junk yard and mounted them on my Pete and Volvo, then mounted an aluminum truck box on them. Saved me many times over to have a set of tools handy.

If ur gonna drive high speeds my bud added a second rad a back cab and t of the main lines with shut of values in line he use size car rad and weld a mount also added a fan because of a dead air space but it help greatly he use to pull alot around mountains alot think since it's military it sufficient and him being a mechanic on those he suggested for just longevity it also helps when you're slow driving also the added capacity of oil is also great for cooling and he also has small solar on roof for battery tender when sitting it's good to keep those batteries charged because there not cheap and try to get a schedule for maintains it were many fall short and when problems start like grease and oil changes keep up great work and everyone have wonderful day hope some these ideas are helpful it seams to help.on his .

I held my breath, watching you back down the ramp with only the trailer ratchet winch securing the boat. I've dropped a small runabout off a trailer before and learned the hard way to tie it securely to the trailer with a backup strap. Luckily, you don't have rollers on the trailer; otherwise, it would have likely ended in tears.

I got the Ecoflow Delta2 for my truck/property. Runs so much and the Lifo batteries should give it long life. Get those wheel weights off the rig!

[@AhmetMurati]

I think you need to put screws to the aluminum to make the stronger connection for the mirror. But you need to add doors to the truck so no rain would come in I mean a real door with glass that moves up and down as in a car.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

I think doors with better visibility will definitely be a future project!

[@markgarfield9535]

I love that truck! You gotta love a truck you can sit indian style under while you work on the transmission. Also, you may have wanted to keep the armor brackets on to put a little weight on that front end. It may help you in more loose terrain.

The transmission lines can collapse but you can't until they collapse. As soon as there is no pressure they will open back up. So next time you have the issue keep it running and check each hose to see if it is collapsed. Or you can just replace both of them. Those lines are expensive though. Have fun on the boat!
