Last Video! I’m finished! 2000 Nissan Frontier 3.3 4x4

[@gusser2121]

As any parent knows, we all have those nights where our kids challenge us. Congrats on powering through and getting it done. (I found that coffee was my best friend during those moments. I was still cranky, but a wide awake cranky 😂)

FINALLY !! A Clickbait title that had me laughing 😂 instead of worrying. Your sense of humor adds A Lot to watching your Expert communication of the work. Thanks.

[@ecjb1969]

It’s OK, Ray - we’re here for you.

Here, here, but not all there.

[@ladonnaghareeb4609]

Dang Ray you really are Human. It'll get better, promice.

[@williamyoung5353]

Right we here for you buddy

[@SteveBatsford-tp1ho]

Ray, Watching you tighten up the torsion bars reminded me of when I worked in an auto salvage yard in the early 70s. When things got slow we would get a junk Chrysler going and tighten up the torsion bars as much as we could to get the best ground clearance in the front. Then we would race through the yard. Lots of fun when you are 18.

[@trebornesregrot]

Being a parent only happens once and a dad is essential for a good solid kids life!

[@Psichlo1]

Getting ever closer to the 500k subs, keep it up Ray. I still don't know how you keep up with where all the fasteners go when you have a job this big. No matter how organized you may be, it seems like a multiple day job encourages forgetfulness lol.

[@whochecksthis]

Its a skill. When we mechanics enjoy our tasks, we love and care for everything we work on. Many fasteners we remember, some it comes down to a system and placement order as we dissassemble. Also... Its on video, so rewatching the work helps us know where the right bolt goes...

[@davidmcguigan741]

Phew Ray this has been a great series, you are one heck of a great mechanic. It's too bad I don't live in Florida you would be the number one guy to go to.

[@James-dm6ey]

Good content Ray. People need to see these kinds of videos, so they understand why repair bills are what they are.

[@kennethm3071]

It's all good Ray, we got this. Got rust in our eyes, tired arms, kept dropping stuff, but it is finished. We are all here to help.

[@JMRSplatt]

I get unreasonably excited when that intro rolls.. like it's just an auto repair video... but you make my morning(afternoon working nights) routine fun and informative. You have helped me with confidence and information in repairing my own car.

[@ronsloan7662]

Hey Ray, that has been a great series. There was a ton of stuff wrong with that truck. It was a very daunting job and the truck seemed to fight you every step of the way. It seemed a bit more cooperative when you were putting it back together. Great job Ray. Cheers!

[@christophermcreynolds6001]

For the efforts you put in on the videos , I hope your business is extremely profitable. You are a good man Ray

[@jimmygeorge4268]

LIKE the song says…”LOVIN EVERY MINUTE OF IT”….never will I miss an episode…thanks 🇺🇸👈🚘

[@rexkars6740]

Hi Ray! Just to let you know, I don’t mind the loud noises, in fact, I kinda like them. I usually get into the shop pretty early. Then I put on one of your videos, turn it up a bit, then go get a cup of coffee. After a while, the shop manager wanders in. Hearing all the ruckus usually puts a smile on his face. Thanks for all the videos!

[@kenm6948]

I think my favorite part of your videos is the ongoing monologue explaining in detail what you’re doing on the various jobs. Another great video!

[@terrymax5340]

Good work . Many things to fix . You got them all fixed 100 percent .😊

[@chrisahogan7593]

Great job Ray. Love these full long videos.

[@stephenrasmussen8160]

These types of videos are fine with me, it's interesting to see how things get fixed and very informative. I know it's rough sometimes with young kids, worrying about them when they get sick and trying to get enough sleep at night. It gets easier when they hit 5+ yrs old so just try to get catch up on the sleep when you can for now.

[@racingboss166]

I hope so mine has like 4.5 years left

[@jayweiland]

Awesome video series on this truck. Your videos relax me like I can't explain. Thanks for your daily uploads and the great content.

[@MrJet30]

WOW I thought i was the only one that felt that way, when i get up in the morning i start one of his videos and grab my coffee. 👍

[@kerrylewis2581]

His voice does have that effect on me as well. Calms me and makes me laugh. Great combo.

[@jayweiland]

@@MrJet30 same! LOL I have a cup of coffee and watch one of his videos and start my day afterwards.

[@michaelcook184]

Hope the little one gets better fast

[@jonclassical5710]

I love steering, alignment, wheel / tire road force install and balancing and suspension work....I guess I am weird! I hope this guy appreciates all the work you did to make the truck go no leaking down the road! This is has been a very enjoyable series Ray, outstanding learns!

[@bridgerolson3556]

Anyone else appreciate the quiet background since ray left that shop? Miss the doodoo doo but something relaxing about just one person working

[@Andrew-ep4kw]

One very valuable lesson I've learned from watching Ray's videos is to understand that jobs will frequently fight you all of the way. The trick is to resist the temptation to let frustration rule you because it can cloud your judgement and make you sloppy. Instead, accept the frustration, laugh at it, and move on.

[@wilahinely]

I thoroughly enjoyed this series as I did all the same stuff to my son's 01 Frontier last year with exception of the rear main. It's definitely a major project.

[@paultercier2552]

Even sleepless you have the right stuff😊. Watching 4 episodes on the Tacoma was neither boring or excessive.

[@duncancremin1708]

Oh, man, I loved this. I never had the full lift and trans-jack luxury, but I had many late nights, where lying on the floor, in a puddle of coolant, struggling with the wrong tool was preferable to crawling out to get the right one. I fully sympathise. You amaze me, finding the energy to record all this, edit it all together and post it for our entertainment. I was always pooped when I finished work, so eating and sleeping were all I was fit for. Nowadays I only do that level of vehicular work on friends and family vehicles, so those sort of nights are history, for me. But I’m still a slogger, just on boats and mostly the electrical systems, so heavy equipment is usually not required, but late nights certainly are. I’m injured at the moment, so living vicariously, through your videos. Thanks for being there .

[@GrantWilliams666]

I know your kids will appreciate it, one thing I know is I have massive appreciation for what you do for your audience.

[@wowloverforlife]

Loved the flavor (rust) fall when you were tightening the cross members.

[@jefferp]

Yep. That poor thing needs a good Fluid Film soaking to slow the rust and extend its life after all that work.

[@IVIuffycat]

Great video Ray. After doing something like this and seeing no leaks gives great job satisfaction.

[@garycurry4600]

Loved this series! Then again, all the series, one off’s are great!

[@zevgoldman6769]

You found a large amount of floor space that I did not realize was available to you. Aldis' ruffle cut chips are top of the chart for me.

[@aliasfred]

Aldis' new dill pickle chips have way too much Distilled white vinegar powder in them, tore my lips up, made the skin peel, very painful.

[@jimwhalen6769]

I am sorry your daughter was not feeling good! I hope she is better! I have been through that with my 4 daughters and some of my grandchildren! But I had to laugh when you busted out in song wishing you were hung over! Great job on the work you did on this Nissan!

[@robertward9258]

[@simonbroberg969]

Been a few months saw I saw that US federal debt counter... oh dear... Hope little one gets well soon. and don''t worry too much about being a grumpy old man, I doubt you'll be as grumpy as me... I'm killing it. Time for another bottle of wine and a cigar to try to cheer myself up... got to spanner my own bike tomorrow too... new caliper seals for the front braking system to install. fek 8C tomorrow...I'm still gonna be grumpy tomorrow. At least I don't have to do anything if I don't want to. One advantage of being retired. As for your cameraman and lighting... still much better than mine. Been biking since '79 well before we had mobile phones, so we had to fix the older bikes that broke down more often in the rain at 2 AM, and as I started making my website back in 1998 the photography and video stuff we had was expensive just for 200x500 pixel stills.... it's hard to keep up with the tech especially when youtube gives me "age restrictions" for little things like using a home made clutch splitting tool or a vintage bike show where there is no swearing, not nudity and I wasn't even smoking a ciggie let alone a spliff or cigar! These days I don't care, I'll smoke with my stogie in my mouth P.S. I saw about 3 years ago that the US finally paid all the debt off for the war... meaning your civil war, not any of the ones after that, but it is a start

People who fight a lot of corrosion in their area are suggesting leaving slack in the cotter pin so after it is bent to hold, it can slide around in the hole.

As is par for the course, your attention to detail is spot on, I’m always learning, especially that there is a tool for every job, If ever need or are willing to take on an apprentice, feel free to holler, I know quite a bit, well enough to get me into trouble, but I’m always willing and wanting to learn!👍🇺🇸

[@OGYettie]

Great work sir on both family and business ends, can't wait for the next. Well as long as it doesn't try to take you out. Also Coke can.

[@philcrowell7516]

I can assure you Ray that the grumps unfortunately get more frequent with age but think about it as having seen it all before, explained it all before and answering the same questions as before. Keep up your amazing work and don't worry about being a bit tetchy from time to time. Your family loves you and your subscribers fully respect your experience and efforts.

[@yhird]

Masterful work Ray. Bravo.

Watching your video after having a 'Monday' myself working second shift, aircraft work in the rain & northeast cold where everything fought against us. And the jet is still broke hard, with snow in the forcast 🥶

[@jackattack70]

Great job Ray. You stayed the course and worked it threw.

[@gregoryrapier3021]

All the stress that you went through with how the factory build their cars with using endless different sized bolts that is not necessary. Is the reason I love building race cars and working on them. Every thing I do I do so I can fix it fast and easy. I felt your stress because in my 74 years I have been there many many times. God bless and keep up these outstanding videos.

[@davidpost4131]

I just realized my inner voice that tells me how to work on stuff has become Rainman Ray's voice. Your central NY fan

[@ken2tou]

Ray, great job nursing that great truck back to health.

[@patrickchavez3848]

Not to speak for everyone else but I like these videos I especially like the longer videos. I'm not a mech but I do enjoy learning and just watching it's kinda relaxing the only thing missing is the shop smell which I love. My Uncle owned a shop called Mr. Transmission here in Santa Fe NM and I loved going there and I miss the smell, shops just have that certain smell if you know you know...

[@aliasfred]

I know the smell. I did auto body and frame repair for 46 years. I still find myself visiting a body shop (just to smell it all) getting quotes for body repairs that will never get done. I am medically unable to do my own repairs anymore. All those years wrecked my body.

[@darylmorgan9887]

Epic series of videos on the Nissan Ray even though the last slog was a a bit tough with lack of sleep.

Welcome to the grumpy old man club. I joined that club a while ago. I am blaming the over-active solar flares and EMF at the moment for the recent flare up of my grumpy old man activity

[@sparksalot4950]

Gee Ray, when a grumpy day strikes me, I spend time cleaning and organizing all my tools on the cart that stays 2 steps away so I don't have to go extra steps during the day to fetch them !

[@bpedoniquott7971]

When you get old.. Your already grumpy...love. your vlogs very entertaining

[@proudcanadian5713]

Ray, it sucks sometimes being a parent but you mostly have great times with the kid units as well. I'm sure you know this BUT the good news is now that you are your own boss, you CAN go back home and go back to bed. In your other job you wouldn't have been able to do that. REST WELL, bud.

[@davidryder6017]

Ray whatever you do has the knack of educating & entertaining in equal measure. I like the series format but it doesn't seem to suit the instant gratification often preferred. Always do what makes you happy first & hopefully it will make others happy too. Fight the Al Gore Rhythm....... 😜

[@mikecrane2093]

I find most of your videos informative and entertaining. Thumbs up! Being a resident of a far north state, the rust is a constant companion. The '77 Chevy Impala that I had got surprised comments from mechanics that it was still able to be driven. I think the rust held it together! Well, until the transmission failed - it wasn't worth repairing that.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Hey, Ray. It's okay -- we've all had days like your day in this video. It's cool, brother. It's called "life," Little Units, and sometimes, the two don't get along -- which is why the Little Units have you, Dad Unit, to deal with things. And sometimes, we all go without sleep. I mean, I'm a chronic insomniac, so the "no sleeping" is part of my world, lol.

[@charleskadletc2431]

Good video. I love these " Rebuilds"😊😂😮

[@ron1584]

Thats one happy Nissan. It was sick and leaking it's fluids and wondering all over the road like a good night out at the bar. Now with Rainman Ray's help it's back on the straight and narrow, no more leaking and ready to explore the vast Frontier again. Whether it's family matters or you have been up for hours you just push threw to get the job done. I surprised I didn't hear the Rodeo Song playing in the background. Content warning ( make sure the kids are not around when you listen to it ) 😊
