Jeep Axles! Full Float Conversion, Disc Brake Swap, and a New Willys

[@edryan2926]

I enjoy the longer videos and how you include lots of sidetracks along your way. We all operate like that, don't we?

[@2dogsmowing]

If you're not having fun. You're doing it wrong. 😁

[@JohnCompton1]

Ditto kiddo

[@belyear]

I completely agree

[@XCX237]

Agreed 👍

[@jessieworthington6413]

I like both ways but the longer videos are more entertaining n very useful especially when some use them to look up things as tools it’s in one place not separate videos thanks for the content it’s great channel

[@LectroSaw]

I like the longer videos because they have actual content. Often, a long video means watching someone look for a socket, find a rag, walk around, just wasting time to create viewing minutes. Appreciate these.

[@rucebaybruce6174]

I like the longer videos!

*- James your encyclopedic memory reminds me of the parts store owner who taught me what little auto mechanic knowledge I have.* *- He could remember the part number of everything in his store and how much he paid for it thirty years ago.* *- At 16 he timed and got started a giant custom designed marine engine with no timing marks and a 3 in fuel line for a wealthy vacationer on Bras d'Or Lake Nova Scotia whose batteries were almost dead.* *- It started on the first crank. You would have liked him and he would have enjoyed you.* *- After starting that engine, he left N.S., sailed a small boat to New England, and never went home again.* *- His son secretly bought car insurance, rebuilt a car and got his license...and then left and became a submariner with the US Navy.* *- I know this is a bizarre story to tell...but I hope you enjoy the independent spirit it speaks to.*

It's a miracle you can find the old footage to splice in. Amazing organizational skills 😀

I like longer in-depth videos - like watching a documentary about all the mechanical expertise and DYI manufacturing.

[@homemaintenancebyclive153]

Agree. Normally after the video I feel I need to wash the grease from my hands

Yup!

[@HateMerchant]

Today is Monday

[@jamesroets800]

I like the way you did things in this video - pulling parts from one to others - and the continuity of your work is explained better. I'm all for you continuing this. The longer videos are much better.

[@phila3543]

I like the longer videos, I will watch the ones you put out either way. Thanks

[@JustanOlGuy]

True I'm here either way!

[@kopperhed4472]

It’s just a really charismatic guy puttering around in his yard, but it’s my favorite channel on KZbin

[@carld3184]

Whatever makes more money for you, one long one or more short videos. I welcome all your videos and I appreciate the explanations and watching the procedures that you use. Keep on having fun, your projects are so very different from other YT channels.

[@cleophusA]

DEFINITELY longer, more in depth videos! I've got a '47 and a '51 Willys Truck, so this stuff is right up my ally. Also, anytime you can throw in info about parts interchangeability it's a huge plus in my book. This one video has answered several nagging questions I've had kicking around in the back of my head for a while now. Thanks for the added knowledge!

[@OldJeepGarage]

I agree! I am working on a 52 Willys truck project too.

[@hippielongshanks]

I love the longer videos. The way they progress, it is just like how real life projects go! You don't simplify how it REALLY goes!

[@RedSoxDad01]

I enjoy the longer videos, mostly because they allow you to go in any direction that strikes you. Getting to follow your creative process certainly inspires me for my own projects.

[@Lostparadise1776]

Im with everyone else here, whichever make you more money! I still cant get over hiw much i learn watching your videos. Keep em coming.

[@TheMiwer]

I really enjoy your videos ( seen them all ---- twice 🙂 ) The longer ones are way better than the shorts. Please keep them coming

[@tundro27]

Honestly, your videos are always great when you're enjoying yourself, regardless of the length. I'm here for any and all.

[@fableedge9389]

I've been loving the longer videos it really shows your thought process through a build, especially this one with all the back and forth like anyone that works at home

[@dneilson2412]

I like indepth details of each step you do.

[@BeingAGamerguy]

As someone who is working on a mis-matched CJ-5, the longer videos with the parts relations and re-use of used parts are very helpful as reference material. On several occasions something you have done has either inspired me, or informed me of a direct solution to a problem I was trying to solve in my revival.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

LOL I'm only about 7 minutes in and I bet the original line was, what's in my rearend"....LOL!

[@ronjones1077]

I watch everything you put out. Been fun going back to videos before I discovered your channel. Thank you !

[@TCW-hw6iw]

I like the longer videos. They are enlightening and fun to watch. I'm doing a '48 Studebaker M15A and I think you just showed me how to deal with the brakes. The replacement shoes come in just under 900.00 for one axle!! If I need wheel clinders and spring kits it totals more than 1200.00. So much for a cheap build!! I don't think the truck weighs much more than a mid-seventies 1/2 ton. Thanks for this tip and a lot more from past episodes. Interestingly, the square fender jeep was the first vehicle I learned to abuse while in the army.

[@АлександрКузьмин-в7ю]

It's not about the length of the video, it's about the fun you bring with it!

[@gtnaylor5870]

This length video is just fine. I enjoy your wit and humor. "I'll ignore that!" That's a "HOOT!"

[@PearlJam2k6]

Honestly, i like the longer videos. You go more in depth, and seeing how projects inter-act between each other is fascinating.

[@mutstang66]

I like longer videos. They are already not long enough. Always learn alot.

[@stevevogelman3360]

I like the long format and love your channel. I guess I’ll watch and enjoy whatever you put out. So whatever works for you is fine with me. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@MrPancake0825]

JAMES, @1:29 there is a brake line sticking up that is going to poke an eye OUT!!! I love the videos!!

[@palmlimit9297]

You are my favorite KZbinr! I’ve been turning wrenches on everything from weedeaters to aircraft for over 45 years. I love all your quirky projects And I’ve been a subscriber since about the 25,000 mark. But what makes your channel my favorite is your intelligent Rye & sarcastic humor! Reminds me of my grandfather who I miss dearly. I happily watch anything you upload! I am thrilled to see your channel growing. I prefer the longer stuff, but I believe from what I’ve seen of other channels, the algorithm rewards production.

[@shawnm6621]

I like the full length videos, start to finish. Keep up the good work.

[@clintcampbell1999]

I’m not a big commenter but I just wanted to say you seem like a guy I’d like to have a beer with and I don’t even drink. Keep up the great content and thx for the effort you put in.

[@cutlow1383]

Long or short doesn't matter. Great either way!

[@tcsmith4838]

I like the longer videos personally, but I would watch shorter ones with just as much enthusiasm and excitement as I do all your videos 👍

[@terrywarner8657]

I like that after so many years, you are marking your parts. I bought military tires from a guy in Canada who had MB, CJ2 and 3 parts all over his yard. But each model had a different colour paint pen noting yr or variation or condition.

[@Grizzmakes]

Morning from Rochester, Kent, UK. First time commenting Have watched a few of your videos and enjoyed them. My infant KZbin channel is super random and I always hope of value to someone. Your problem solving skills are very impressive. Simple things like releasing the brake shoes in the hob of the axle you chose. My brother thinks like you. Me…….?? I struggle along but love learning from you guys. Thanks for your teaching style. You remind me of Div on Ratrods for Africa.

[@mikelesher3100]

I definitely like “Step 1”

[@alexthomas6487]

worth the wait! I enjoy the three projects together and your story telling. Thank you for the videos and for teaching me something each time I watch!!

[@somerandomguy3868]

I'm willing to wait for the longer videos, I enjoyed this differential tour, I know you're going to put a V8 in the one your starting to put together and nothing is likely to change your mind about that, it's been my experience that the 6 cylinder is the best of both worlds, more power than the 4-cylinder less weight than the 8 cylinder and better longevity with the drivetrain, I'm going enjoy watching you put the parts together either way, so thanks for this detailed video and I look forward to the next

[@RobEnglebright]

I like the fact half you get distracted and almost build another project by accident. Happy with long form videos. Keep reminding me that if I'm not having fun I'm doing it wrong, it is a very important message.

[@stoney1918]

I'll put in another vote for the longer videos! Noticed at around 36:10 are those IH logos in the middle of those hubs? Might you have some scout parts mixed in there? Also looking forward to a segment about what looks like a Monarch 10EE lathe in the future!

[@keithstudly6071]

If I hadn't seen the way all three projects interacted, I wouldn't have believed it. You are doing it right.

[@giggitygiggitygoofg6069]

Longer videos is my vote

[@CivilDefenceCanada]

Thank you for sharing your projects. Your endless optimism and knowing when to stop - when it isn't fun - and come back later has inspired me and helped with my projects. I prefer your longer videos. Thank you again, have a great day

I like the 30 - 45 minute videos. The channels that upload 1hr or more videos I don't typically watch.

[@alexwilson8279]

I love these Jeep videos, so much so that I bought a 2a for myself to build from the ground up!

[@slipperyjk]

I'm not fussy about the length of the video's, but do enjoy the uploads.

[@caseykjeseth9974]

I like both options. A lot of KZbin channels find they have better viewership when they upload shorter videos more frequently and consistently. This helps them to generate more revenue. I like all of your content and am just happy you bring us along for your adventures.

[@jlucasound]

@34:05 it is so hard to believe you have been on KZbin as long as you have. I forgot that your early videos were in Sepia. Did you put up the one where you re grease the wagon wheel? I always liked that one.

[@chrise.2495]

i would be happy if we can get one more video per week. you make the world a little bit easier. your own way you go through is so kind. your way helps me to see much things easier too. they are like they are take it how it comes. make the best of it.

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

I dont mind waiting for the longer videos but ill watch whatever you decide to post when you decide to post it

Short or long you continue to be informative and a veritable fountain of knowledge of Jeep history and technical tid bits. Thanks for your first class editing and camera work.

[@peteljungquist1572]

I like the longer in depth versions. It’s especially interesting how you have several projects that you swap parts with, and how you adapt. You are a great mechanic and engineer.

[@tomdeville5292]

Sunday afternoon ist the right time for me watching you videos, even here in Austria, no matter if short or longer, your skills are amazing.

[@ITALJUTE]

I like the longer videos more. They feel like episodes. The short ones feel like clips. Having said that, I would watch whatever format you choose. Yours is still one of the best channels on KZbin.

[@dochydrate5649]

Great video, I'm re-watching this for educational purposes. I'm not a car guy by nature and I've learned more about car stuff watching these. Thank you!! Always fun!!!

[@martynwatson4929]

For what it's worth, I enjoy the longer videos and the interesting journeys of the parts migrating from one project to another. Thanks for asking.

[@Thomas-fo9zu]

Another great video, love the long ones! Your knowledge of these older Jeeps is astounding! I've learned more about them just watching your videos, before I new practically nothing about these older ones. Thank you for sharing, please keep em coming!

[@pickletreewoodcraft7858]

I enjoy getting the full context as you currently are doing but if you upload shorter videos more frequently I’ll still watch it but I’m not impatient and I understand that you have a life outside of your KZbin channel and just appreciate that you share what you do, many viewers feel like they are owed something and don’t appreciate what they get however I do! Thank you for sharing your passion projects with us!

[@Troglobitten]

Low-Buck Garage and mymechanics may be polar opposites when it comes to restoration channels on youtube, and I love both so much

[@chrisknauss6727]

Not a mechanic here. I love this guys humor and ingenuity. Excellent content.

[@RubenKelevra]

46:00 Definitely longer videos, and more frequent. Thank you.

[@jackrichards1863]

It's a real treat to have videos such as this. We see some real progress. It's like visiting for a couple of days and helping with some CJ's. Without the effort. Shorter videos feel so commercialised and then the sponsorship deals start coming and we have o sit through testimonials no-one believes in. and the content is neither one thing nor the other. This video is another excellent video product that I subscribed to and have always enjoyed the quality of since that day. There have been some lengthy delays at times but a chance to review some earlier material from your channel is good too.. Keep up the exemplary fun featured Low Buck Garage filming and I'll be among those who always enjoy seeing a fresh feture from your work !

[@TerryLawrence001]

My ADHD thoroughly loved this longer video! I always love how an old guy like me can still learn new things. thanks man!

I enjoy the longer videos, they're fun to watch and I also love when you start "fiddling" with another project and then "tease" us about future stuff!
