Calling Out Another Idiot In the Willys Community....

[@Okie-Tom]

Pay no attention to the trolls! There will always be posters that only want to spread hate and discontent! You do a great service for people in the Jeep community. Everybody that is rebuilding or working on a Jeep greatly appreciate your videos. I like watching your videos even though I am not working on a Jeep. Keep it up! Tom

[@bringsometools5159]

It is easy to let these comments and emails eat away at you. Anyone who watches your videos and knows how hard you work, and the extremely high level of quality you turn out and promote, knows your commitment to your craft. That is a very rare thing these days. The rest of us get it. As hard as it is, let it go. You have helped me for sure. Through the videos, as well as your responses to my emails. This is dark underbelly social media.

[@benjohnson1082]

Maybe “take” in this context means “give”….. I find your videos are the ultimate source to verify how something is done correctly. Start to finish. Perfect reaction to Dexter. Keep up the great work and thanks for all the content/information.

[@JMULLY1900]

You are a treasure to the Jeep community. Thanks!

[@HARLEY2006DAVIDSON]

I personally want to thank you for all you have done. I restored my own jeep (52 m-38) a few years back and your videos were like manna from heaven. You are right about the world changing, it seems like people want everything handed to them. It's not hard to do research such as watching a video. Thank you again for all you have done.

[@paulbell3471]

Dexter is the one that always wants to be at the front of the line ! Forgot him you are a great form of information through your videos that we all learn from !!!

[@timhoggard56]

Keep the videos coming Brian,your knowledge and work practices are incredibly helpful. I often wonder how you cram so much into your life,with the shop and the farming. I do jeep work in the uk but have only a fraction of your skills and knowledge.As for the dexters of the world,you don’t need those people in your life. Best of luck trying to get the work/life balance right!

[@josephbak2271]

I would just like to say that your videos alone have motivated me to work on my 42 gpw diffs, knuckles, and, trans. I am 30ys old, have minimal experience, work full time, but with your help I have found the motivation to tackle them by myself. I have watched all of those videos multiple times along the process. VERY HELPFUL stuff if you pay attention like you said. Any questions someone might have can be found on the g503 forum or others of the like. Keep putting out great stuff because there are tons of us out there who REALLY appreciate it even though you may not hear from us! Thanks alot and keep doing what your doing!

[@tomc2748]

Brian, As someone who has had a passion for old jeeps since the late 60's and has owned a few including flat fenders please don't stop doing what you are doing your information is invaluable. I am also a one man operation and have been for 40 years and I can say don't be afraid to burn a few bridges it can be very cathartic. These days people seem to think that just because they are paying you for something they think they own you. You are much better off without those customers and without them you will sleep much better. Just my 2 cents.

[@Lycaon1349]

Best thing to do with the instant gratification crybaby nonsense is to just ignore them and let them be miserable on their own. What you do for this community is absolutely priceless and trolls like that deserve to be shunned if they don’t appreciate you. That being said, I just rebuilt my T90 using your info and am now moving to my D18, so I’ll be contacting you soon for some of those lubricants. Thank you for all the incredible content and knowledge!!

[@michaelgutkowski1243]

This channel is GOLD when it comes to Jeep restoration. Keep the videos coming. You’ve helped me immensely with mine.

[@ethanbontrager7994]

I have learned a tremendous amount from your videos. I’m thankful for the content you have put out. I bought my first vehicle when I was 20, a CJ-3A. I then went to Sears and bought a basic tool kit, read the service manual that came with the truck cover to cover and then got it running. Twenty nine years later I still have my Jeep. I’m never happier than when I’m in the garage covered in grease fixing my old vehicles. I fix as much as I can myself. Much of the joy in my life has been because of selfless people like yourself.

[@oldschool6345]

Short answer- no you do not "take" from anyone with these videos. I'm not even a jeepie necessarily, but I like the content. I especially enjoy the panel making sessions. You are correct - you don't need customers like that. Water off the ducks back bud, ignore trolls and instant attention/gratification people. Thanks for sharing

[@kirkrobinson6398]

Brian, you have proven time and again that you care about what you do as well as all your viewers. I have never felt misled or "cheated" by any of your content. You are nothing but a wealth of knowledge to myself and the flat fender community. I have been restoring and working on flat fenders for the last 20 years and I thought I knew a lot until I found your channel, then I realized I haven't even scratched the surface. The world today is full of idiots, please do not be discouraged by one person who thinks he was cheated. Keep up the good work, all of your videos are excellent.

[@kiki7694]

Please keep making the videos. I don’t ever comment on anything but your videos have been a tremendous help on my Willys Jeep projects. You have been very generous to take the time to do this. Thank you.

[@joefleming8568]

For anyone that really likes old Jeeps, your knowledge and video explanations are pure gold. I really like to watch all the stuff you get into. Even videos around the farm are cool to see as well. I know It is a lot of extra work on you to keep cranking out these videos, but I hope you can keep it up. There is nobody doing anything close to the stuff you do and show us on KZbin. Thanks Brian!

[@jonb4967]

I wouldn’t say you took from me on the MB frame… on the contrary, you gave me a solid usable frame that had previously been junk. Still working on trying to find another right timeframe MB block with no luck, will let you know when I find one to ask for advice on whether to buy it and hopefully avoid a repeat of the first engine I brought you. Thanks for all you do.

[@heyyoubuddy6749]

Hi Santa Brian! I’m so sorry that some guys ain’t worth the lead, ya know what I mean. I look forward to ALL of you videos, I think of your channel as a doctoral course in all things Jeep! I bought my Jeep because I want to do what I’ve learned from you and your channel. Jeeps are so incredibly adaptable to what we need them to do. They tough, dependable, reliable when maintained. They are classics from our past. As I’ve said in the past I wish I was a young fella looking for a trade, I would so want to apprentice with you to learn what you know and continue this important calling. Please continue making videos, but I understand what it takes to share you knowledge. Life would be easier for you I get it. Thank you for all you share, you are not a taker dexter is a turd!!!! God bless you and yours.

[@johngreen5215]

I think what you do is incredible, I am working on a 1967 cj-5 and do not make a move until i have checked your channel.

[@hillbilly5b72]

Personally, the information you've shared has been invaluable to me. The lubricant you sell is the best I've ever used in my jeep. Thank you and I hope you keep it up.

[@TradIrishHarper]

Your videos were how I figured out how to rebuild my axles, differentials, transmission, transfer case, steering box (your lube worked great by the way) and brakes. Keep doing what you are doing. You have the only real solid step by step process information on these Willys Jeeps.

[@jamesrichter4354]

I love your videos it helps me put in got 1946 jeep next year I pland to get started on it

[@pietervanderwalt2388]

Please dont stop making videos Brian, I really like it and I need your videos as it helps me alot in my rebuilds. I watch them all over and over again and learn something new everytime

[@101stAirbornefilms]

I wouldn’t have been able to rebuild my rear diff without your videos!

[@1948betty]

I really appreciate all the effort you put into all the projects that you share with the rest of us. I am new to Willys Jeeps myself but I have learned a ton about them from all your great material. I am working on ‘49 wagon now and I have so far rebuilt the trans and transfer case. It was a good fun and good learning experience and I am looking forward to rebuilding the Dana 25 and 41 this fall. Keep up the higher quality work and I look forward to seeing more content in the future!

[@snrakmas]

I've been rebuilding a Go Devil engine for my brother-in-law's family heirloom CJ2A. Went from zero knowledge to figuring it out, in large part, from your videos...and a select few others. I appreciate every second of every video you've made. They are helping real people. I hope you stay motivated to keep working and posting, but also understand the pressure, and respect whatever decision you make. Thanks for everything.

[@geoben427]

Hi Brian, I've been following your videos from the beginning and there is nothing out there that compares to the level of detail and skill you provide. For FREE, I might add. The fact that you have always provided your email address to the viewers, shows that you are willing to offer help. I have often wondered how you find the time to get everything done AND video it and edit the video as well! I don't blame you for being pissed off. Most of your regular viewers are right there with you.

[@jwhibdon]

I don't have a jeep but I love watching your videos. I have been for a couple of years. Keep up good wokk.

[@jonathanschrader7881]

Man fu*k Dexter.. sounds like Dexter needs a life. "Dexter" doesn't matter nor his feelings... I watched a good bit of these videos.. and they are quite good. 👍

[@jafo321]

Listen, I have a '79 CJ7. I had to go through the front end and replace all the ball joints etc. Your video helped me immensely. You are basically the only person that really put out a video on this start to finish and excellently detailed information that proved priceless. I have watched a few other videos and I can say, when you cover every component and give real world experienced advice, no one else does this really. To find someone that does what you do is extremely rare, or I'll just say it, down right almost impossible. I have mechanical ability and experience, but there are things, like types of bolts, nuts etc that I am not up on and would rather learn it from you and put it together once than have to tear it back apart later because the wrong hardware was used. That is the kind of detail I can find in your videos that is so priceless. I hope you keep making videos, to give knowledge is a special privilege that only those like yourself should be giving out and to get this for free is amazing in itself. There are some videos out there that just shouldn't be there if you know what I mean. But your videos are just awesome. I hope you keep doing them.

[@scottcrwford9022]

I watch your videos most of them are the longer in depth videos and I view them repeatedly. It is not just for knowledge but for your museum quality detail. Ive often wanted to ask if you sell kit's such as the cj5 clutch shaft and pillow blocks. That is genius but for my project would have to attach to sm420 gearbox. I tell everyone that aspires to be a mechanic to take a look at your art work or works of art more appropriately. Please dont let people that are having a bad day control the type of day you will have. Their are a lot more of us that will bid you a good than those that have a momentary laps of reason. So keep up the fantastic work you do and please have a really great day! I Thank You.

[@jimsahm]

Brian, you sir do NOT take from the community. If anything, you are a VERY generous person!! You have done more for this community than anyone else I know. Best to you a Maria!!

[@CharlesLochowski]

hey neighbor, chuck lochowski here. ( wickham rd). stopped down to your place when i bought 2 47 jeeps.. they are gone ... but still watch your vidioes as it gets me that the people today are really clueless on what it takes to repair/ restore/ fix etc. anything...God bless ya on changing gears and getting the new tooling for the engine work, that said, all they info you shared is priceless to a resto jeep project. Anyway, if ya here my sons sportster with me on it stopping in to say hello, dont be alarmed!

[@photo111]

An infrequent viewer here in Nova Scotia Canada. When I was "on the search" for a Willys Pickup a fews years back(found one!) I discovered your channel and learned a great deal about Willys in general from you. Keep up with the great information you provide, I think that for those who know the Willys brand, you are a trusted and reliable source of solid information. Thankyou for the videos.

[@chuckuptergrove6186]

Brian I for one and I’m sure many of your other viewers, feel exactly what you were trying to express most of us, have searched for years. For the free-flowing of information the quantity the quality of what you sharing with the world, what you do as a one-man shop, which shocks me what you truly get done. So somebody like this who doesn’t appreciate or understand what you’re doing by yourself, I know for one, how much I appreciate your information this is my first time restoring a jeep having you involved and watching your videos, and all the other things that, I’ve already applied to myself is greatly appreciated don’t change anything buddy you have most all of our upmost respect on your quality knowledge and the freedom that you give it God bless you

[@geraldguyette470]

Brian , take heart my friend . The world changes and we change with it . I am not restoring a jeep but even so I have learned from your channel and I thank you for sharing your knowledge . I hope you continue to make videos as I enjoy them very much . I remember the first video I watched I subscribed right away because I knew I could learn from your videos . Don't let the crap emails get you down , your friends will still be here watching and learning . Thanks .

[@mikefleischhauer6264]

I’m a relatively young DIY’er. I’m currently restoring a 69 CJ5. I deeply appreciate your videos, they have taught me techniques and warned me of frustrations. Bottom line is people who are do’ers are few and far in between and fewer are passing on their knowledge. Without folks like you I would not have the support or know how to tackle this project and my wife would be super pissed that I dropped good money on a pile of rust. Keep up the good work, ignore the jerks, and I would still like to see a T 14 rebuild or know which video to check out to get the gist of the process. I know you have mentioned several times you are having trouble finding locals with the passion and drive to pass on your knowledge and skills, I feel like many are in that boat these days and this is a good platform to pass knowledge over long distance and into the future.

[@RADIOACTIVEMASCULINITY]

Your channel has been such a positive influence on every level of my abilities and craftsmanship. You offer such amazing information and I know others must appreciate you as much as I do even if they don’t say it. Thank you for being you and putting stuff out there for guys who know a little bit and want to get better 💪🇺🇸

[@ruebencover5795]

Well said 👍. Brian has helped me so much with my jeep and he is right the world has go MAD and its not just USA I live in the UK

[@pauldusharm6968]

Please keep up the video's, you have helped me get my Willys up and running. I don't know if I would have been there yet without them.

[@TheSquidtone]

"The world is changing." Yes it is. I believe it IS true that more and more folks have an expectation for instant answers at their fingertips. Sure, it's possible for high volume mainstream businesses to provide that service, but Metalshaper is a "niche" SMALL business. Any rational person should put their "patient" hat on when dealing with a "niche" Willys Jeep shop. For my part, I'm VERY grateful that Metalshapers business exists (Brian saved my broken L134 engine block and machined it back to a rebuildable state...for a super price). Not only that, he makes all these detailed videos. That is a TON of work. The videos are a super valuable resource for anyone. It takes a few minutes to search it, and a few more to comb through them for any particular subject. Jeez....that's part of the fun. All I can say is ignore the unrealistic folks. There are passionate Jeepers who really value what you provide.

[@mikerogers878]

I love your videos, watch and rewatch them they are a great asset to the jeep world. we do appreciate all your time and effort after seeing the videos I have gained more confidence and I'm not afraid to try things thanks again

[@BriLis3]

Brian, the Willys community appreciates your videos and instruction. Your channel has helped me with the drivetrain rebuilding on my '51 M38 by watching your content. You are a wealth of knowledge and we appreciate you sharing through videos. Plus, I am publicly stating that the lube you have formulated is the best you can buy for your Willys. Thank you for providing a way to get the proper lube for our jeeps.

[@ruebencover5795]

All I can say you only just helped me time and time again with your videos and emails. My jeep was a basket case when I got it and now it's a fully restored jeep and that's all thanks too you

[@ludolphconklin9541]

Brian, What I appreciate the most about your videos is how thorough they are. I bought my Jeep so I could learn how to rebuild it and thanks to you I have the opportunity to learn how to rebuild the Jeep properly. I often watch your videos for an hour or more at a time and will keep referring back to them as I go along. I do agree with you about the way the world is going, but I hope you know that not everyone is going that way

[@tomseibel439]

Hey Brian, I know as they say, one bad apple can spoil a barrel…. I really do appreciate you and what you are doing for us Jeepers. I watch and save every video you make. I have gone back many many times to watch them and every time I learn more. You have done transmission, transfer case and steering box repair for me. I have purchased all lubes from you, as a matter of fact…. I received my order today!! Thanks again for everything you do. Tom S. PS. Please put me on the good list SANTA!!!

[@sretch66dog]

Several time you have helped me understand how to get things done with my 1969CJ5 Willy. That I have had since 1983

[@mikek7622]

Your videos are the very first place i go when rebuilding anything on my 2a restoration. I think they are great.

[@newriver8940]

The things that I have learned from you are priceless and I have always enjoyed your videos thank you for showing what it takes.Some people today want everything right now and cheap.Thank you for everything you do.

[@kevinmaker128]

Keep providing the video’s please. I watch with great interest and have no doubt you know what your doing. You have worked your whole life to get to the level that you are at. Thanks for sharing. I’m hopeful to rebuild my own 56 leaky Willys transmission & transfer case from your channel. I just told another Jeep guy about your channel yesterday in the supermarket.

[@rysammy]

Brian, Thank you kindly for taking the time to make these vidios!!! I am new at watching your videos and have learned a great deal from doing so. I had a 63 M38A1 when I was a kid and loved it and just picked up a 46 cj2a thats needs some work. I lost my left leg a few years ago and cannot use my tractors any longer, but after watching your videos, I found great hope again by using my jeep as a tractor and I thank you for that. Now I just need to find the 2 stick pto and the rear gear box. You are very talented Brian in many different disciplines, we, the jeepers, need and appreciate you!!! Thank you for being you! Ryan

[@Texas_taildraggin]

As a younger guy wanting to learn this stuff I don’t have someone in my life to show me how this stuff works. I couldn’t build my project without your advice. I think I speak on behalf of all your followers , we really appreciate your hard work!

[@baxtersheakley5793]

I for one really appreciate what you do and your videos are so much help. Just finished my 3rd T90 and D18 .In the process of rebuilding an SM465 and Novak adapter to a D18. I still go back and watch your videos a little at a time as I proceed. Thanks so much! Keep up the good work! My buddy is ordering a couple more gallons of your trany lube for our projects.

[@r.j.schubert9222]

Hi Brian. Your videos have taught me so much. I've always been a car guy. My first car was a '44 Willys, and now almost 50 years later, I have a '50 Willys CJ3A, with a few '69 CJ5 parts in it. I'm following your videos as I rebuild my axles, install an OEM limited slip up front, rebuild the brakes, and so much more. Thank you, and keep it up.

[@Ronnymotard]

I really like your video’s, I’ve learned lots of it. Please ignore the negative people and keep up the good work! You are a hero to me

[@powellph]

I’m sorry that people are A-holes. I myself feel like I struck gold when I found this channel. I recently purchased a 65 CJ5 for a father-son project for me and my boys. After I got it home and dove into it, I found the entire floor likely needs to be replaced. I watched your video series on replacing the floor on a CJ 5… just what I was looking for. I got exactly the information I needed to tackle that project and I thank you for it.

[@keithhagen515]

Your axle videos were invaluable to me when rebuilding my Jeep. I must have watched them 20 times as I did the project. I really appreciate all the work you put into them and thank you for making them available. I would not have been able to do the project without your videos.

[@jimgillen755]

There will always be those people that are just miserable and need something to complain about. I for one appreciate every video you put out. I am currently restoring my father's 1955 m170 and have been able to accomplish so much just by watching your videos. My father purchased his m170 42 years ago and used it for a daily driver for almost 20 of them. When he passed away my family gave it to me and I am so thankful for that. Clearly I'm not able to do all the work you do, but the work I can do is much clearer when I have the confidence to do it because of instructions through videos like yours. Thanks again for everything

[@rgd2598]

This is so upsetting…. And I venture that most of your audience/subs feel the same. For taking the time to share your expertise and do it in a way that shows you really want to teach us. … you deserve a ton of appreciation

[@tsmith578]

I was just browsing through some videos on your KZbin channel and I seen this video from August second,. And just wanted to say that I like and appreciate all your videos and the effort that you put into making them, you certainly seem to be a very honest and helpful person who tries to do your best. I have never done any business with you, nor do I own a old Willy's or cj jeep , but I do like them both and have since I was a kid. I simply just watch your videos because I like jeeps and like your videos. And the only thing I think that you could do to make them any better is if you had a better camera. Thank you. Tim from Wisconsin.

[@oblvnnwtnjhn]

Keep the videos coming, engine and transmission content as well. Yes the world is changing, not many old school mechanics left or willing to take on older vehicles. Which leaves us to do our own or get as far as we can, farm the rest out with detailed instructions, such as your content, to complete the work. Don’t let a few detractors stop you from providing a great service to the vintage Jeep community. Thank you Brian for all that you do and give.

[@notajp]

Personally, I love your videos even tho I don’t currently own a Jeep (have owned several different models in the past). However I still enjoy learning from you and seeing the interesting projects you get into. I’ve recommended your channel to other folks who are fixing up old Jeeps because I think you’re the closest thing to an “expert” on vintage Jeeps than anyone I’ve ever seen. Screw the haters, keep up the good work!

[@mikeprevitera5839]

Brian, I completely understand your frustration and completely agree with your decisions on how to handle those kind of people. I have had to do nearly the same thing in my business. You do what you think is best for you. I will miss watching your new content if you decide to start making your videos private, but I will understand. As for being a taker, Dexter is completely off base. I once emailed you about 2 years ago with a specific question and even though I hadn’t ever purchased anything from you, you answered my question clearly and concisely, without any hesitation. I saved that email because I felt honored that someone with your knowledge took some time from their busy day to help me understand something that I couldn’t. Thank you.

[@Bob-tn5xn]

Just now seeing this and i can say that for the 30 years that ive had willys jeeps and of the 29 i have in my back yard im shocked to find out what ive been doing wrong ! Your videos are a god send thank you very much ive been watching for about a year now and have recomended you to many others !

[@jayrobinson8046]

Keep up the excellent work! I rarely get a lot of idle time (active Army) but when I do, I tune in to your channel. I keep rewatching a lot of your engine builds. Have a 47 waiting for me when I retire early 2023. I hope to be able to purchase all the fluids required to keep my project on the road for years! Thanks for what you do!

[@lawrencemathews6182]

[@stevecaleris7674]

Brian, sorry to hear about your hater pissing you off. I’ve watched your videos for years and I enjoy each one. Just keep making them I’ll watch them. I can appreciate the amount of work you do building a body or an engine. It makes me wish I had as much energy as you do to get the projects done. I’ve learned something from each of your videos. Thank you for putting them on KZbin for me to watch!

[@jessiesimmons9408]

Keep doing what you are doing! I am in the process rebuilding my M38A1 and your videos have all of great info that make it all seem manageable.

[@MikeyGG34]

Thanks for your videos, they are great. It's amazing how detailed your videos are. You can tell by what you do and how detailed your repairs are, that you do really quality work. Defiantly not a half Asser. Keep up the great videos and information. Some people are just jealous, they can't live their dream, like you are. Guys like you are the main reason this jeep thing lives on. The real reason for the jeep wave, and the brotherhood of jeeping. Bless you Brother.

[@richwheeldon9910]

Brian, I have watched many of your videos and want to tell you they are great and greatly appreciated I have a 47 cj2a that I am going to restore. I had planned on starting it last year but seriously injured in a hot air balloon accident and had to delay the plans. I think you are the most knowledgeable person on jeeps and the most generous man with your knowledge. Please keep doing what your doing.

[@sadeghpouryan]

please keep doing you are the best place to find right information thanks for all hard work

[@kfd629]

Brian, Your generosity with sharing your knowledge is priceless for those of us who wish to learn about all that is involved in these machines. Please, dont give in to these Jabronis. They’re at a much lower level. Mechanics, Carpenters, plumbers, electricians are all on the verge of extinction. We all need to do our best in handing down our respective skillsets. Your videos are gold in that regard, and have given me the ability to work on my 2A. I wouldn’t trade that experience for anything. Keep doing the right thing and we will keep watching! Thank you for all you do.

Your 5 years of content is extremely valuable. Seriously, several online courses worth of content! I appreciate what you do very much. Don’t let the negativity get you down. I used to teach and it was easy to get mad at that one little brat. I’m sure that you have helped create awesome experiences resorting jeeps You certainly have helped me. Keep on with the integrity.

[@mikeshively9977]

Buddy, your videos are informative and really just a joy to watch. I have to be honest, your probably the foremost expert with these old Jeeps in the world. I would love to be financially solvent enough to bring my old family passed down Willys to you to go crazy with because I know you would do it better than anyone else but unfortunately I'm a Pipeliner and my job has gone to crap on me. So.....with that being said, all the information you are kind enough to freely provide it is a huge help to me in keeping the ol girl alive. Thanks a Million and don't let the negative people get you down because guys like me appreciate you and your knowledge more than you'll ever know. Thanks again

Thanks for your video efforts .... I don't see much of this quality content out there. It's a huge help with my confidence working on my own never-ending jeep project. I copied your axle seal setting tool. You've answered what email questions I've sent, and my lube purchase went without a hitch. You're a great resource for me, and an even greater inspiration. Do what you need to do to stay healthy and manage stress. Thanks again.

Keep up the good work Brian. I’m very grateful for your rebuild videos. They’re invaluable to me who not only never worked on a jeep, but any vehicle.

Your videos are always informative , disregard the idiots !

[@laudennn]

living vicariously through you holding your clients accountable. my goal is to get there one day. thank you for this video

[@joeywaters7718]

Your videos have been invaluable to me and my CJ6 rebuild. I know the videos only add to your workday but us wanna be Jeep mechanics benefit greatly from your experience and knowledge. If you keep making the videos, I will keep watching. Butt heads like Dexter are not worth your time to even acknowledge. Keep ‘em coming Bud! Joey

[@marla.the.v35]

Please continue making videos! I rebuilt my Ross box using your videos and I (and another stock jeep) would have been LOST without it. I also bought your steering lube and couldn't be happier. I recommend your videos and products to everyone I can. Please, please, please continue to be a shining light for the community. Without this knowledge getting passed down, Willys jeeps will become a memory. Not all of us young or new guys are bad or have that attitude. I have MASSIVE respect for you and what you do and I'll be studying your videos in the months to come as the projects are starting to mount! 'Dexter' can get F'd!!!

Keep making videos Brain, ignore the crap that waste your time. I like the long videos and short ones, the level of detail is right, do what makes sense. Some people will never get it, others appreciate the content and learn. Thanks for hanging in there.

Brian - we are grateful for your incredible efforts, you are the foremost Willy’s expert/ artisan craftsman. Like I said earlier…grateful for taking the time to help us

[@mysticdag]

It is getting to be that people want something for nothing and are getting angry when they don't get it. I am could be one of the few that is in deep up to my elbows restoring my own willys wagon and looking at a lot of pride knowing that I know everything possible about my ride, every nut, bolt, cable. Thank you for your videos and explanations.

Hi Brian your channel is definitely the bench mark when it comes to content on early jeeps, part of the problem today is a lot of people think they can watch something and are experts straight away and comment negatively with no respect for the person doing the job. They don’t stop to think that the person showing something on video hasn’t already though about all of the options and has chosen the best way forward for themselves. It is the age of entitlement, there entitled to bag someone for what ever reason with no respect shown. Keep up the amazing work the vast majority will always rely on your content to get them though the job. There is no doubt that this is the best early Jeep content in the world, yep the world. Keep it up mate I’ll be relying on your videos to get me through. Cheers Kiffer Seam

[@byrnejr]

Appreciate you ! Just keep making videos! We have spoken a few times , you have always been a nice guy and your reputation is stellar . Keep it up

[@timkirby6874]

I have been watching your videos since I purchased my first Wiilys CJ3a, and have found your insight and skills invaluable to my restoration process. I apologize for the Dexter type emails on behalf of everyone who feels the same way I do. Keep making the videos, and know there are far more people like me, who appreciate and are grateful for the hard work and commitment you have for the Willys Jeep community.

[@johnmccabe4596]

Thanks for all time and experience, it's priceless, dickster can troll someone else now would love to work with you to bad I am in California, just finished in frame valve job on my 49 134 run great with your help.

[@GingerSquatch94]

Please don’t stop making the content! I am using your videos 100% of the time on my cj5. Just ordered the adapters and rebuild kit for Dana 18. Adapter for sm465. You are the only one I have seen make this happen. Keep up the good work and leave the losers out !

[@johndoe43]

You give a lot more to the real Jeep community than anybody else and I don't see how you are taking from anyone. I have had so called friends that try to get more than they pay for or want someone like Sears to warrant beyond the warranty. That crap really peaves me off

[@jimdoyle6565]

Brian I could not done my cj2a without your help thanks. I’m in Australia so your videos reach around the world Aussie Jimbo
