Phase 5 Trident. Just make sure you get the 60" version. They ran a 58 for a few years. It's an awesome board. Mine is 9 years old and in perfect shape.

@@johnniemo Awesome! I did google trident boards AFTER i sent you a message! :) Great looking boat, what brand is that? Looks like a great wave!

Never mind, guessing Tige since that's the hat you have on!

@@jimchappell8325 It's a Tige 21ZX with some lead in it. I've always liked the Tige wave, but I've surfed a lot of others.

Lol. Let me know how you enjoy it! I still love mine.

I don't have a video of it but you need to remove the main grommet and pull the wires through. Inside there is a connector you can disconnect.

I used Valspar DTM2004. I have a previous video on that. It works well. Endura has a lot of primer options as well. Delta Sealer is one I've heard good things about.

Awesome! That's literally why I make these videos. Now you just gotta pick a colour.

Thanks! I'm waiting for a few more small parts before I do an official "build" video. Here was your sneak peak.

Wear indicators on the rear pads. They weren't all that old, so I initially didn't think it could be that.

Good point about wet sanding the bondo. I've done it several times with no issues, but it's not something I should be doing. Even after this surfacing activity, the resulting panel was still wavy. I should have done it 2 or 3 times to make it perfect. Older vehicles have just had so much living.....

The method should work. As long as you reinforce the structure a bit, those bottle jacks will lift an incredible amount of weight. You could do three cross beams to be safe. You can order custom LVL beams in whatever size you want. Since I did this, I came up with all sorts of improvements. For example, you could lift from the outside.... you could lift off the roof.... you could use an automotive 4 post lift.... So many options. It's not as scary as it seems.

Yes - so long as you can pick it up.

Such a well timed question! I actually just re-assembled the paint bay a second time and used a single fan this time. I have found it's simply not enough. If you are painting something as large as a vehicle, you want two fans. The big reason is you want to keep the concentration of ignitable gases to a minimum. Airflow could quite literally save you. I just use garden variety box fans. However if you could get access to an old belt driven furnace fan, that would be the cat's meow. In that way you get the motor out of the paint fumes.

Thanks for the greetings! This is an old video :) If you are buzzing down a high center, as you are doing, I'd consider how you want to refinish it at the end. It isn't the prettiest surface. I still love the Swisstrax, but it's not the cheapest route. My favourite part is how the water drains underneath and the floor is never cold on your feet. It changes the experience of winter. However for the summer time, it gathers a LOT of dust and rocks and gets fairly dirty. You can't just pressure wash it, as it rains debris down all over the place. You have to remove it and clean them outside. But given everything, I'd for sure do the flooring again. It's just so great for the winter.

@@johnniemo I'm installing a vinyl water proof tile floor with an attached pad. I'll add another pad under it for picking up for variations with the floor to help with the product spec. Yes, I can understand with your Swisstrax dust and all. Yes, for the moisture issue it is perfect. We'll see what all happens, but again thanks for your video. God bless!

@@johnniemo Today is the day here. We'll see how it goes. I have everything covered I don't want full of it.

@@thewildwilsonshow good luck. Good dust collection is key.

@@johnniemo Thank you. It's really interesting doing this. I've shot video too. Hopefully I can edit something together, but this is nuts! I've been at it for about a hour and exhausting! I have a super humpy unflat slab! Think my big shop vac doesn't suck enough - oh well! Padded gloves would be really good to wear - maybe my lifting at the gym gloves as I have blisters forming on the palm of hand.

Yup, great advice. Thanks for the comment. In the heat of the moment it's easy to forget your goal isn't eliminating the guide coat. Your goal is even and consistent perpendicular blocking. I've only ever used the Valspar, so I'm quite un-informed about what other products work like. I think if you do this every week, you'd benefit from a re-useable product. For me, this is only my second ever job, so I am okay working with the harder 2k primer from Valspar (and the higher price).

That’s a good point. I actually wasn’t setting out to make a video on this issue. It was sort of after the fact I realized this issue wasn’t well covered on RUclips so I cobbled together some stills and some video fragments I had been using to diagnose. As for the parts I just went to my local auto parts store and they sold me what I needed. I didn’t use any brand names on this one.

@@johnniemo Well I, as well as the rest the community, appreciates you're contribution, the video definitely helped me identify what needs to be done! Thanks again

@@xxdriftking027xx Thanks. I hope this helps you solve your issue. It presents weird and it wasn't the fix I was anticipating.

Around here every home is built with wood on concrete. And yes it's fairly arid here. The old sill was fine after 30 years as you can see. 21" came from the panel width of a new garage door. I actually wish I had lifted to 24" for the vehicle lift.

Ha! Yes, he's on the spectrum. However it seems to be amplified when he's on camera. He doesn't usually behave that way.

I think I've answered this a few times. But basically I needed the higher door opening to fit my boat in, so that was the primary reason. In the end, I think I disproportionally weighted that requirement. Either way would work. As a side benefit, having my windows higher up has been nice. It gets the sun in better in the winter, and it allows the walls to be more useable for "garage stuff". In one of my comments here somewhere I pondering using my 4 post lift to lift the roof. That would have been a neat video.

No I haven't. It was -40 here last week. Maybe I missed my chance?? This method will take it all off in about 20 minutes.

@@johnniemo I think it might have been liquid nitrogen they used

dry ice method

Nice. I'm doing a full facelift on mine. 2006 Chevy. Was my dad's truck before he passed away. 175,000 miles. A lot of life left :)

Lift King Pro King 8. I've had it for 7 years or so. Never had an issue with it.

Use one of those sound locator wands (or a screwdriver up to your ear). Try and find which module is making the noise. My gut would say the AC condenser is the first likely culprit, followed by the power steering. It could also be at the belt is off center on one of the pulleys. I've seen people rub a stick of deodorant (not antiperspirant) along the sides of the belt while it's running to slick it up a bit. That would at least tell you if the sound is coming from the belts and pulleys, or is internal to one of the systems.

I had some issue. did the dame thing. Then stared with the Vane Position sensor and found out it was the turbo

Each of the 6 panels are stand alone. I stack the 4 8x8s together and I stack the 2 10x8s together. Kinda like books on a shelf. Then I move each stack outside and put between my garage and the fence. Unfortunately the plastic did not survive the elements over 3 years of sun, wind and ice. I think I would have been better off with 6 mil plastic. Perhaps something UV protected. OR I could wrap them in a tarp. Unfortunately I can't include a picture. photos.app.goo.gl/ZTCGwKyoxMbsFoBu5 photos.app.goo.gl/NSbdFTsUaDyZjGey9

Control would be a strong word. My garage is heated with a forced air, down draft furnace. So it has a thermostat outside of the paint booth and it reconciles there. I set it to around 20C when I'm painting. With the exhaust fans going, the furnace pretty much runs steady during the winter time. I didn't measure, but it would get down to 15C by the time the fumes had cleared. I try to close up the exhaust fan as quickly as I can once the fumes are gone to let the paint cure. I used fast dry products where I could and I didn't have any issues. It really all depends how much heat you can generate in your garage (and how cold it is outside).

That is great advice. I think I have a revised design to vent out a window so I'll try that next. The charcoal is a good backup plan. I see they are around $50.

I've never had that. But it makes sense that if you suck up some dirt/mud on the lake it will end up passing through your cooling system. A lot of other boats have a sea strainer for that reason. I wouldn't worry about it.
