wow your dads friend is really awesome for that i bet your dad is a really good guy

[@KelsAndJay]

He's the best! 😊

Something that a lot of people are unaware of is that tires "age out" of service, regardless of the tread that may remain. This is analogous to an old pencil. It's never been sharpened, the eraser is completely unused. But when you try to erase something all it does is smear because the rubber is so hard. Tires are like that. Comes a time you need them to grip and they just slide like you're on ice. So the recommendation is that tires be replaced every six years, regardless of tread depth. To determine the age, look for four digits after DOT. The first two are the week they were made, the second two are the year. So 2516 would be some time in June of 2016. If you don't put many miles on your tires there's no use in paying more for high mileage tires as they will "age out of service" long before you reach 90,000 miles or whatever.

You should have coated the wheel wells with some "undercoating" to help seal the area from water and mud.

Hi Guys! I've missed you. Jay, you're a great handyman and I know your wife appreciates that. On her behalf, thank you for all you do.

[@MehaulUhaul]

Very sorry to hear about the fire. I am happy that they are okay!! Also, loved seeing that checklist on Jay's phone. Something I must learn how to do! :)

[@MobileDwellings]

Happy 2024 baby!!!!

[@JoeandEmmaLee]

Aww you guys are so fun! Can’t wait see what’s in store for 24’! We must cross paths!

[@paulhoneyman6923]

Great to see you guys. I pray the roads are good to you and always look forward to seeing your journeys and builds. Stay safe

[@samanthawilliams9635]

So sorry it’s been a rough time for your family. If they are anything like you, I know they will be strong. Sending love! X

[@KelsAndJay]

Aw that's so sweet, thank you Samantha! They really are handling everything so well and getting through it ❤️

[@samanthawilliams9635]

@@KelsAndJay I’m so glad it’s not dulled their sparkle! P.s thank you for not shortening my name. I appreciate it so much! Keep going! Best wishes from South Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿!

[@pamelataylor412]

We’re happy to have you back❣️

[@jimhaxton1982]

A torque wrench, then you know it's right

[@cstoneav]

Really impressed with your attention to detail in your work but... As I noted in a previous comment by @bigwheelsturning... if you didn't seal the wheel well repair it will "DEFINITELY" leak "EVERY TIME" you drive in the rain. Blessings to you BOTH! Keep up the Good Work!

[@cjg8822]

Glad to see you back, 🎉Happy 2024…Let’s Go!!!

[@TheRoamingLions]

Sorry to hear about the house. You guys keep killing it.

[@The_Joy_Finder]

I haven't watched for a while. The last time was 'we are burnt out. Don't know what is next'. This episode: we've been having way too much fun. Aw 🥰

[@KelsAndJay]

Aww haha thanks for putting a smile on our faces with this comment!

[@MBMCincy63]

[@KelsAndJay]

[@markj10]

Wow! You two seem to be in a way better place than a year ago! Whatever you are doing just keep doing it!!

[@KelsAndJay]

Haha thank you! Just sort of been going with the flow that life brings :)

[@tommazzaro9642]

⁠@@KelsAndJay Just saw the video talk with your Grandma… then followed that up with the upgrades on your AS. Your response on ‘going with the flow’… that is the lesson you take away from your Grandma. She is correct about looking at time (age) being a blessing… with all the things that can take you out along the way… if one makes it to 80 they are very fortunate. Happy training and travels

[@somesvede]

[@lrfox49]

I believed you Kels, lol!

[@KelsAndJay]

Hahah you must be gullible like me 😜❤️

[@Eli-vj2wc]

You guys are so underrated, I have literally been watching your vids since the start and you’ve grown but I wish you were more popular I bet if you post weekly or even do a couple times a week post you’ll gain more views and subscribers! It may be hard like the Iron man but will be worth it. I believe in you guys and keep the great, positive, loving, sweet, charming and cheerful videos coming! I love them!!!❤

[@KelsAndJay]

That's so sweet, we appreciate such kind words! In all honesty we used to post twice a week and it didn't feel right for us. We love our tight knit community on here and aren't chasing views and subscribers. Just want to try to put out the best quality content we can because you guys deserve that!
