I appreciate ur hard work and attention to detail. Good job bro 👍

Anyone reading this please tell your friends about this channel. Let’s get Mike to 200k before the end of January. I know I love watching his shenanigans and I’m especially eager to see this Blaster completed. You actually ROCK, Mike!! Here’s to 2023

[@Stick_talk216]

Iv said it before and I’m sure many have but I need to say it again. The best rebuild/restoration channel on KZbin when it comes to Offroad content. The attention to detail along with the tips and tricks. Don’t know how your not at a million subs

[@MichaelSabo]

You always make my day with these Jimmy; thank you for the love and support, I'll see you at 1 million! 🤘

[@bilboswaggens2975]

His last video with plastic buffing is literally going to save me thousands in the future if I can pull it off. It’s been the talk of the town in my trail association after I showed it to everyone. Everyone hates faded plastics. Everyone loves sabo

[@Joe-Pro89]

Man don't hold back on the trash can explosions!!!! phenomenal!!!!

[@jeranspicer637]

I love those trashcan shots and explosions

[@MichaelSabo]

Haha, thank you for the feedback on them!

[@royhenson3379]

Love Sabo posting at this time of day.

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for watching!

[@jacobg130productions]

The added earthquake and crashing sounds at the end were golden 👌🏼

[@MichaelSabo]

I for some reason find explosions to be funny when placed at the right times

[@Iamdesignproducts]

Absolutely love the humility & mechanic humor, great content.

[@coyoterob2839]

The humor that goes into these videos is funny

[@MichaelSabo]

Glad you enjoy them man!

[@SkylarLadouceurRacing]

Happy new year! Be cool to have a video of the process of having the parts powder coated. Keep up the great work!

[@MichaelSabo]

Happy New Year! I might do this at my powder coater - a walk through video

lol, that's actually a pretty nice light

[@jxntxn1462]

Love the comedy you been injecting into the vids lately man. Keep em coming!!!

[@MichaelSabo]

I appreciate the feedback man! I'm glad you've been enjoying it

[@kennynadeau17]

so cool to see that you have the budget to completly rebuild an atv but you also show how to bring used parts back to life that most people would just thro away, love it!!! are you building all of the quad in the next top quad?

[@digger_jon2778]

Facts of life one man's trash is another man's gold..can't tell you how many things ppl thro in the trash that can be repaired straightened or rebuild.

[@MichaelSabo]

Huge compliment man; thank you

[@floridatrailrider305]

Crazy transformation with the headlight

[@stuartbellwithvintage2stro375]

This Chanel is my favourite on all of KZbin. You and Alan millyard are brilliant.

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you so much dude!

[@rickymiller1571]

I really think it’s amazing what you do for those old quads it’s something I want to do with side by sides

[@MichaelSabo]

I appreciate that Ricky; you should do it!

My dad had a 70's bultaco. Keep the thumbs up coming.

Nice job on the headlight 👍🏽 looking forward to the rest of the build!

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you Mike!

[@eviltwinstephen8367]

I love how the abuse this poor Blaster experienced over the course of its life becomes more evident with every layer you peel back. I just found your channel and I’m enjoying your videos. Keep them coming.

[@MichaelSabo]

It's true, on the surface sometime you really can't tell. Thank you for finding my channel and following the build!

[@298CRE8]

It's nothing check ones from UK the rust eats everywhere here and the lack of brains for a thousand dollars you'd be lucky to get one running mainland UK probably rusty as hell requiring bearings seals bushes chain sprockets tyres etc etc got four one as spares for rest and live midlandish England not alot of good examples about 👌😅

[@daxmorlock7846]

I'm glad to see you do this build. This looks like a perfect machine for a budget build. Still can't wait to see the finished product though. You always kill it on any build you do.

[@MichaelSabo]

Thanks so much for saying that man!

[@j.need4qlife483]

Fantastic video Michael. All those years of working on disenchanted atvs and bikes clearly show the wealth of experience you have acquired. I know how easy it is for people even with great mechanical skills to just walk away expressing not worth the effort. You clearly show otherwise with persistence and keen observations that rusted out nightmares can be reborn into Phoenix. I salute you for your dedication in making your videos into quality entertaining and very infomative at a professional level. Thank you for starting 2023 with this video.

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for this awesome compliment man! Made my night!

[@Adam-wj1pn]

i would watch this youtube channel if it was on cable TV. i love the videos. I'm always excited for the next one to come out. funny and educational.

[@johnnyboy8606]

It would be awesome to see you doing a Honda atc build. I’ve learned so much from watching, thank you!

[@MichaelSabo]

Makes my day hearing that you've learned from watching my videos. I have an ATC lined up but it's a TriZ 250; I'd like to get around to a honda as well

[@SG-Cichlids]

The stuff I use on my boat and lenses is Mckee's 360. Cleans, cuts, and polishes all in one. It's a miracle in a bottle. Terrific stuff

[@olimitchell01]

Man like Mike 🔥🔥🔥

[@brad5085]

Thank Mickeal for showing me that everyone even the best accidentally tighten instead of loosening the nut

[@AirOnTheMove]

I’m convinced there is nothing basket case garage can’t do! 🔥

[@juliodelira7531]

Can’t wait for the next video !! Great video 💯

[@ashpunting]

That Quad needed some love and attention for sure, this is what happens when you leave your big boy toys outside 💯🙏

[@MichaelSabo]

100% Ash!

[@BostonBanshee]

Lmaooo when mike pulls out the Thor wrench for the carrier nuts 🤣🤣 nobody will ever know that feeling of relief until they struggle with bearing nuts and get them free!

[@lanniewiant8269]

Man the plastic looks awesome good job I have been wanting to learn to restore plastic thanks much for showing how. Great work as always!!!

[@MichaelSabo]

Thanks man; I don't know if this method would restore plastics but definitely for one's like these that weren't in bad shape, it works pretty well.

[@fisherjay8912]

loving this build so far man i watch all the old vids i love watching u rebuild these bikes

[@bryced3832]

Happy new year Michael! Hey if you get bored this summer come up to Michigan and hit some trails with us!

[@MichaelSabo]

Happy New Year Bryce and thank you for inviting me to ride dude!

[@haywire05]

With the ball joints, take the nut off, flip it over and tighten it just flush with the end. Then you can hit it without fear of mushrooming the end or damaging the treads. However, you can still bend it if you Sabo it real hard. Great channel, love quad wars. Thanks for representing the average guy with cheaper quads. Not everyones got $10k to drop on a quad.

[@steveharris6916]

Winning the war 🦾

[@MichaelSabo]

💪

[@newellweeks2759]

I really like when u BS about junk parts and u blow it up.,❤

[@bilboswaggens2975]

Love the restorations. It’s so satisfying fixing something rather than buying new. If you use a little cerakote trim coat on the black housing it would bring the gloss back just like the plastics.

[@MichaelSabo]

I agree man and thank you for the tip with the cerakote!

[@Mitchell.A]

I love your videos, I would love to see a 4x4 4wheeler on here I bet you could make a sick mix of utility and handling and add some sport to a cool 4x4

Super impressed with the light

[@fearless5tiger434]

I have a tip and you might already know this, But when I wanna make graphics and plastics shine even vinyl i just use tire shine. It makes faded black black plastics look brand new. Also great video hoping to get a quad soon and build it up. Thanks for all the knowledge you have taught me

[@shepss217]

Headlight looks awesome! Nothing more satisfying

[@davidstoner27]

@Tele-gram-me-Michael_sabo1 lol dumb bots

[@ALDA2479]

1rst day of the year and we get a video good shit never a bad day when Sabo drops something

[@ps360bros]

Mike, when trying to remove tierods, take the castle nut off, flip it, and screw it back on flush with the end of the threads, then you can hammer without worrying! Just like you did with the rear axel

[@MichaelSabo]

That's a great tip if you don't have the ball joint separator but once I got that tool, if it doesn't break right away with some light taps I just go right to it

[@ps360bros]

@Michael Sabo I agree, the tool is the way to go, when it comes to my jeeps I seem to always ruin the boot, but it's usually clapped out anyway lol

[@garrettsargent4097]

I absolutely love the damned explosions, stoked to see how this build comes out!

[@jonasbarcat617]

I have a Yamaha Blaster blue color, it’s an incredible machine. Watching and enjoying all this serie

[@Bri-tg6xr]

👍 on using an adjustable wrench the right way. So many times I see people using it flipped over which causes the jaws to spread apart and slip.

[@fmscooter768]

omg the compilation around minute 5 as you where removing the stuck Nut made me laugh so hard, these sounds uhhh ahhh bäng bäng ouch uhhh ahhhh , very good, you have a nice sense of humor!!

[@MichaelSabo]

lol, glad you enjoy it man!

[@RealSuburbanCowboy]

I don't know why, but I love the garbage can toss scenes! Love the channel! That sticker removing stuff "Goof Off" will do that to headlights! Again, MOTHERS mag polish will clean up that headlight lens.

[@drdanger95]

MIKE UPLODAD ALREADY IM DYING

[@jax8646]

Love simple quads like this 👍

[@BlasterBlaner]

Love your work! Just a tip...when knocking on the threaded tierods/ball joints, thread the not on upside down until flush with the threaded shaft, then tap on that. Saves the thread. Keep going!

[@willheft3445]

Keep up the good work, Mike! You make my favorite videos on KZbin!

[@duneracerweston]

Yep I'm gonna need to get one of those buffers. I have a few machines that could use it for sure

[@MichaelSabo]

It's a handy little tool!

[@lukecombs5242]

Hey mike when knocking the tie rod’s loose screw the nut back on it backwards and you can wrap on it pretty good to knock it loose and you won’t damage the threads on either just run it backwards and almost flush with the stud leave a couple threads of the nut hanging off the stud and hit it flush you need a soft blow hammer or a brass hammer for those jobs.

[@MichaelSabo]

Good tip man; thank you!

[@christopheravery5808]

I really want to see you do an LT250R and a Tecate 4. A head to head shootout between the 250R, blaster, banshee, Tecate, and LT250R would be interesting. I’ll have my channel started very soon and if nobody does that shootout then it will be on my bucket list. I’m just waiting on a couple more pieces for my 250R and then I’ll have videos up.

[@MichaelSabo]

It would definitely be an awesome series man!

[@twistymcslide2]

i use spraymax clearcoat on headlights. very well worth the $20 a can . . i usually get a couple parts together and ready to clear and the can can cover a decent amount of area. the nice thing about a clearcoat is the added UV protection which you wont get from just polish and a wax .. i wet sand down to 1500 and do 2-3 coats . can always do a few more coats and that gives a lot of impact protection , and ability t wetsand and buff down to road which saves a lot of refinishing time. the Spraymax comes in a 1k acrylic , or 2k urethane , that is 2 part, and has a shelf life of a few hrs to few days depending on environment . i flip and clear the nozzle and it stays spraying nicely throughout the time period without splattering . good stuff. they have it in high gloss glamour , matte , and satin .

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for the info on this; I'm going to look into doing some sort of UV protection
