Geting My $499 Jeep On The Road For The First Time In Years

[@kevinleee3408]

You and your fellow KZbinrs have inspired me to fix up a vehicle so I got a 1984 S 15 I have bent and replaced all the brake lines except for one

[@jd6898]

In many states, finding a compression fitting on a brake line causes the vehicle to fail a safety state inspection.

[@jimknapper6427]

I was taught many years ago that using a compression fitting on brake lines is a bad idea. In an emergency the pressure in the line can blow the fitting off. Flairing is the only way to go.

[@junglejones]

Then why do they sell compression fittings for brake lines?

[@WaterfrontJustin]

It's an old mechanics tail to upsell things I've never had one blow off from the pressure. Even solid lines can fail so it's a weird theory.

[@leejohnson6173]

Yet the whole brake system on semis it compression fittings lol

[@leebuck180]

a rusty line will fail way before the compression fitting will.

[@eugenesbackyardrepair4593]

I've used compression fitting fir years and never had one fail. Some mechanics hate them but it's my vehicle not theirs. I'm glad I subscribed to ur channel Ike

[@Archersgarageandwhatnot]

$500 anything is a good deal! Great find.

[@kevinleee3408]

Please revisit this and put flared fittings on when you get more time maybe you can show us some good tips and tricks for getting a good flare working under a vehicle

[@RANDALLOLOGY]

Hell of a deal for $500 you got a good car

[@danielheartsill4269]

you got a heck of a buy on that Jeep. It looks straight and after the wash I hope the paint is great. looks like a nice Jeep.

[@warhog5554]

Just get a set of adapters they are about 1.5 spacers that will convert 5x4.5 to 5x5.

[@icebrakernh]

The only off roading I do is trail riding on a dry day slow and easy no mud but a lot of rocks dirt and sand. Bringing a lunch and some friends to share the moment is what makes it more enjoyable. No need to high speed through mud and brake stuff.

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

Sounds great!

[@jaysonswain527]

Dude, this is probably one of your best buys! There is no rust on that thing at all.

[@seventh-son]

There’s some people will jump you over a Compression fitting. I use them all the time started using them in the 90s I never had a problem some guy back in 1999 he told me that it would Break a part the first time I had to hit my brakes hard HE was so wrong if you have a problem with them, you’re not putting them on right. I love that Jeep

[@honorrolls5415]

Hi Issac. I especially enjoy when we can watch your repairs at normal speed your an experienced mechanic with lots of knowledge to share. And your so right about heavy keys on the ignition cylinder especially on column locking ignitions. Good tip hope people listened Bill in Fort Wayne Indiana

[@shaunwalker2055]

I did just this with a Miata that had been sitting for years, got it for 300.00 swapped in a fuel pump and it ran like it had only been parked for a weekend. Love that you saved this Jeep, hate that I didn't see it 1st for sale. Lol

[@Yelnats101]

Friday!! Best day of the week!! Have a good weekend Ike!!!!

[@edwardweisenburg6585]

I've bought and sold over a thousand cars.... and what we used to call a deal like this jeep deal is a HOMERUN !!!!!!! Awesome job. ❤

[@michaelbishop242]

Compression fittings on brakes lines is a type of gambling we should all take. And the moment I saw JK wheels I’m like he’s gonna learn today.

[@skipads8784]

I'll double flare thanks. I'm not stupid.

[@bigjay6743]

I've never had a problem with a compression fitting. I live in northern Ontario or break lines are constantly rotten here. Even if it did leak again that's why there's a front and back in your master cylinder.

[@nicholas9834]

That like a shark bite on pvc for brake lines?

[@skipads8784]

@@bigjay6743 You should just use air shock lines as they can't rust..

[@broo_shs]

@@skipads8784 those can only last how long they last,and its can brake just when you are in going to crash or need a brakes, so do it like all we rest do buy a line and swap it in right spots.

[@mitchelllawrentz766]

Chevy cavalier seats will bolt up to the factory seat rails on the yj and the are pretty comfortable if your wondering

[@OGjerseyfice]

Just came over from latest c&c video, Ike I’m so sorry about the flooding, wish you all the best.

[@JohnHill-jm7tm]

This Old Man always enjoying your videos. Was really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow and it's been rescheduled 😢. Great looking Jeep 👍. 🛵🧔💝

[@jeffclark3924]

Thank you for the Mustang burnout. They never get old.

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

Couldn't agree more!

[@skinnywheelz]

This world will demand every second of your time if you make it available to them. I hope you are taking some time out for Ike. We don't want to see you get burnt out. Great video, Thanks for sharing.

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Issac :) also would paint those lines fuel and brakes line with brand Rust Coat of silver or white or black keep from rust up to also put clear coat on after paint too! Also for Muffler put round one in too and look cool too! Also tires bought are same size and put them on jeep old tires on older rims too and new rims should get $400.00 for them lowest be $200.00 ! Also undercoat with Rust Seal save that vehicle rust out too!

[@anthonypiligno7618]

🎉 thanks 👍 for the video bro 🎉....JJ .. Jonjon....😊

[@marcinflorek3862]

Thank goodness you are swapping wheels!

[@larrydavidson3402]

I still think you got yourself a good deal. Some wax and buffing will do wonders for the paint.

[@donnie2533]

Great video. I'm glad you posted keep them coming, thanks. Love the jeep

Fellow western WA, im from skagit county

[@petergrubb3037]

Nice YJ. You need to keep those black rims. They complete the look.

[@reviewaccount469]

I bet a clay bar would really help out on that paint.

[@gradybrowning3976]

Cleaned up Real Nice!!!

[@jamesbigham9036]

I love the jeep and it is smart to not doing any off reading. That jeep is a perfect old school beach jeep for sure

That's one hell of a 500 dollar vehicle!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kimberly1273]

Great job Issac, for $499 and some love!

[@R3TR0R4V3]

Burnin' deal you got on that. She cleaned up real nice! Try wetsanding & buffing it out.. I bet it'll clean up even more. 😎

[@darrellnichter9894]

Jeep cleaned up real good! Muffler and some detail work she be a great cruiser man!

[@calvarycustoms6681]

Bro, I *did* tell you they wouldn’t fit! Could’ve saved ya the 38-mile drive down to NB and back. But still, with the price of tires these days, I think you got a killer deal for five wheels n tires. You shouldn’t have any trouble turning a little profit on those. Hey, @Isaac it’ll be fine what’s that red Caprice Coupe that was in front of the shop? Yours, or someone else’s? That’s pretty sweet, I almost never see those late-80’s Coupes anymore.

[@docholiday6944]

Great vid Ike!! Be safe and drive careless!! 😜 👊✌️❤️🤙

[@samuelloomis2345]

I too have been running into the wrong lug pattern myself lately bud don't feel bad.

[@adurrence1]

Love it brother

[@derrickoosterling8733]

Good thing your not in NYS, can't use compression fittings on brakes here

[@papatomsthoughts]

Heck of a find. Chech Derick of VGG he has a mixture for paint that helps keep the paint as is. I love this jeep.

[@tmackinator]

You need a flare line coupling, not a compression fitting. Very bad practice unless you are installing an icemaker.

[@reginagurganus3064]

You got a really sweet deal. I had to laugh at 14:20 that was cute. Wondering would those tires fit on a 2006 Jeep Liberty? Anyhow, stay safe in our tropical storm. It will be out of here by late tomorrow. Saturday.

[@paulweigle6872]

Awesome looking jeep for$499. Sorry the wheels didn't work out. Jeep stuff, go figure.

[@majobis]

I would not mine owning a YJ jeep of those years. (a hard top is a better pick for me) You got a sweet deal on with a little effort to get it back on the road. Me personally I would have found the OEM Jeep/Wrangler wheels with the Jeep word stamped into the wheels

[@crispyboi6374]

I’m so glad you got your own channel man

[@glennahoopes2895]

Your best bet is to get an after market gas gauge and install it. The jeep gauges are notorious for being wrong or not working at all. I know alot of people who have done it including myself that just gave up on replacing the jeep guages and sending units.

[@darploin5071]

Hey Isaac sorry I wasn't able to look at this yesterday but I'm looking at it now have a great day hope everything works out well for you within that jeep

[@gearhead2017]

She cleaned up good,yeah a glasspack would sound bad assed

[@davelambert3340]

Wheels look great leave well alone !!

[@danieljonhson6367]

If you get a chance wash under neath the jeep really good and after It dries paint it with some cheap rattle can paint it'll keep it from rotting as much.

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

That thing turned out real nice. You got a great deal on it. I'm hoping some day I can find a great deal on a pickup. Keep up the great work and I will see you in the next one.

[@evdallas123]

That fitting worked good ill keep that in mind ive got an old 88 dakota that i tinker with to keep it on the road

[@bobmanzi7712]

great stuff thanks, 500 bucks that is a great score.

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

I didn't delete it, but my comment section has strict selected

[@rtrgearheads]

@@isaacitllbefine7231 I figured because it had an Amazon link in it, KZbin might of thought it was spam. Wanted to make sure your channel didn't get flagged or something

[@mikedeboer7447]

Nice work but I would never use a compression fitting just not for me to do I would have however re-flared both end of existing good brake line and just placed a union in between.

[@waymoretheoutlaw5895]

I use Black Magic Bleche-Wite Tire Cleaner, on my White truck and it does really good cleaning off all the crud

[@norcal8718]

Clean your shop bro. A clean shop is a happy shop 🔧🧽😃

[@g-force2745]

Idk, I'd say those wheels look awesome! Love the powder coated black look. The factory Jeep wheels are fairly meh on white paint imho.

early wranglers were interesting. i too many keys but i never a problem. i watch junkyard digs he's alright.

[@iannorton4463]

Good video ike. I like the change of pace with a jeep. Thats another great thing about your channel mate,,, Variety..! Can't wait to see you put the mustang and the tri 5 on the road and use them dude.. Maybe even do sick week in the mustang,,?? Keep up the great work fella. ✌️👍🇬🇧

Tj wheels are 5x4.5 the newer rubicon wheels are 5x5 bolt pattern same thing happened to me

I would think the yj and tj are the same bolt pattern

Danged old Jeep looks good and runs good too.

Maybe you could get some old semi-truck double decker car carrier trailers and park all your vehicles on the top of the trailer so they're above the flood waters next time

Man that cleaned up good dude it is a nice jeep considering where you live . i love the mustang as well 2nd gear burnout lets go. i just bought a 1990 ford festiva for 400 bucks runs and drives and has cold ac with 1.3 auto trans and love working on it . just a fixer upper for the teen but fun to drive. great video as always ike love it keep it up.

[@ronniehenley2564]

Compression fitting on brakes is bad bad bad. It's actually not legal for a parts house to sell you a compression fitting if they know it's being used to repair a brake line

[@notajp]

Yeah, never understood why people do half-assed work like that. Totally unsafe. My dad always said that if a job is worth doing, it’s worth doing right. Words to live by………literally in this case…

[@T-Stat79]

Can't use compression fittings on brake lines in Michigan, can only be flare fittings.

Funny thing is they still sell those compression fittings here in Michigan and I found a whole Bunch on my truck when I fixed it

You gotta put a Jurassic Park decal kit on that.❤

Thanks for the like Ike

[@dudergames6547]

Love it.. I had a feeling when I saw the wheels that the bolt pattern was wrong lol.. cant wait to see more videos on the jeep and what you end up doing with it. Yj bolt pattern is 5x4.5 think you bought 5x5

[@R3TR0R4V3]

5x4.5 fits Ford Rangers too. Not sure about the new ones though.

[@tkskagen]

At this point of your automotive repairs, why do you not use a "Vacu-pump" to bleed your fluid systems?

[@michaelhartzell9758]

I've used compression fittings for years! People say it's not safe but I've Never had any issues. The thing that's worse is the wiggling of the line as you cut it can cause more leak spots. Kudos for you on going the simple and least expensive way to go. 3 outa 5 stars, wouldn't change a thing.
