I personally would rather have a 2-hour video, every 2-weeks, than have short videos more often! Thanks for the fantastic detail too!

I love long videos as you don't forget what you've watched and prevent a loss of interest. Most KZbin channels love their short videos because they make twice the revenue where Jesse is about quality, not cash

I really miss those times when my boys were that age. Time passes so quickly, cherish the moments you have with them. On the upside, my kids now have kids so I get to re-live the past except when they misbehave, I can hand them back to their parents :).

So very true! My son is starting college and my daughter is going into her last year of high school. Time moves so fast. I miss when they looked towards me as the most important person in the world. Cherish those moments!

Keep up the good work and may God continue to bless you all in all your endeavors. Still looking forward to the final video on your dream truck. To be able to take the whole family in a nice comfortable ride and still have all the tools and equipment you need when you arrive {and being miles from home and the shop}. Can't wait to see those videos. Most of my family vacations growing up were working vacations, but dad still found time to mix both work and family fun time together.

My favorite part of this video so far is you having your son clean up the pin that he dropped and when you say “I have to punish you somehow“ he says “well, yeah” he’s a good kid and gonna be a great man.

Those outer seals contain glass in them. When they stretch to go on they immediately stay that shape and size. The only way to get them back to the correct size is to compress them with a hose clamp. It’s pretty much an instant fix. Good luck and thanks for the great videos.

It took quite some time with the carpet cleaner pressure washer and a heap of deodorizer to make the car habitable again. Cheers Eric

Nice work on your repairs Jesse, if I may say, I was screaming cut out the bent metal as soon as I saw it, you need to buy some sheet metal vice grips for cosmetic repairs. The back up rings don't wear out so just change the actual seals, put the seal puck in the freezer before you put the wear ring over the "o"ring then heat the seal ring in hot water to avoid stretching too far. Enjoyable video, thanks.
