I really dig what you're doing with your channel. The discussion of dollars and cents at the end is key because many, if not most, of your viewers are considering if they themselves can do it too and whether or not it's worth it. Also like that it isn't programmed with electro-pop crap music and fast-forward video through important details. Glad I signed on to your channel.

I'm 70 now so my truck days are over. Got rid of my crew cab 95 powerstroke with 5 speed and custom bed. I sold/traded at a lose cause I can't turn my head (broken neck) but that is ok cause dirt nap ain't far away... I hope' Pain everyday and miss working so bad. People who don't work got it made cause they have the state take care of them from guys like us who work. I wish there had been KZbin when I was even thirty years younger. Pulling wrenches and being out of work don't go together. You must live in an area that don't cater to rust much and that is a good thing.
