Hemi Jeep: Finishing Up!
After a few days off, we picked up where we left off. We installed a new water pump, and the intake manifold, exhaust, torque converter bolts, transmission support and starter. We then moved on to the Alternator, A/C compressor and power steering pump. Everything came together very quickly as we kept our bolts and parts labeled and organized.
In the end, we are in this vehicle for about $1,000, which includes the purchase price at $200, title and registration at about $200 and $600 in parts, fluids and gaskets.
This was an amazing opportunity to teach my son some things about vehicles. He’s still very young and has a lot to learn, but he’s catching on very fast.

In part one of project “Hemi Jeep” I show my son the ropes of turning wrenches! As a retired Master Mechanic with almost 30 years of experience, I figured this project would be perfect for teaching my son the in and outs of being a mechanic, as he has shown interest in doing so. We bought this Jeep with a known bad engine. It had a very bad engine knock and the rear main seal was leaking, as we...

Best Cheap Rifle Case for almost ANY ATV

Showing my simple and highly effective gun case that I made for my ATV. This particular ATV is a 2007 Polaris Sportsman 500 X2. After buying a very expensive rifle case and mount from Polaris, I had delt with multiple problems of it breaking or breaking my 4 wheeler after getting bumped by brush. I built this because I needed a rifle case that gave extremely quick access to my rifle for reasons...

Removing the old style TV from the 80's and continuing the path to bring this old RV into the 21st century. The laptops screen can be flipped which is why you don't see the keyboard (it's behind the screen in the video). We have a ton of DVDs so no worries if cell or wifi is unavailable. After this video we took it for a short road trip. The boys fell in love with this motorhome (vs the old one...

$36.99 for the deck ! www.amazon.com/BOSS-616UAB-Single-DIN-MECH-LESS-Multimedia/dp/B01CG8N0H8 Filled the fuel tank ($200.00 ouch) and Test drive was successful but all belts require replacement as they are falling apart. Up next will be changing all of the fluids.
enjoy. I started with a '72 winnie 22'. So much fun restoring it.
Practical! I like it, thank you so much! 🔥
Very clever! Thanks for sharing and taking the time and trouble to make the video.
Very clever way to mount the case!
That's a great idea thanks for sharing
Hey what's the house battery situation with yours? Does it have 12v in parallel or 6v in series and does it have 2 or 4?
The RV was sold a long time ago, but it had two, 12V marine batteries hooked up in parallel
@@mikegaddis8556 Thanks for quick reply. I just bought an 88 Cruise Air that needs new house batteries but not picking it up until later in the week.
Just make sure to convert all of your interior lights and outside lights to LED. You’ll get way more hours out of them. Stuff the biggest batteries you can find into the tray, or at least the biggest ones your budget will allow. Even a used car battery will work to get you through a summer or two.
@@mikegaddis8556 That's a great idea, I hadn't even thought of that. My shop light and flashlights are LED but I totally forgot that the bulbs in the RV are probably incandescent. Thanks for reminding me!
@@mikegaddis8556 So I've checked every compartment and can't find anything that looks like a place for the house batteries. Do they go right next to the chassis battery? There's space there but doesn't look like enough room for 2.
Thank you for the video
Heyyyyy, an m-6 scout, that’s the second one I have ever seen, the other is/was mine lol
I'd love to talk to you about this. I have a 1987 Georgie Boy Cruise Air II with much work and TLC needed. jaredcombs@gmail.com
You'll love this Mike... ruclips.net/video/lqbmUm9Wggo/видео.html
Good idea, what was not clear on how you mounted it... Too fast and little time spent on that feature... / Thanks
Can you tell me where the switch is on yours, the one for running just off house batteries or when you want to switch to plug in, just got mine trying to figure it all out
nice job , im gonna do the same- also im gonna get the over the tank bags and sew on 2 hip holsters 4 my two .45's
Thanks for your reply. The mounting on the ATV side came with the ATV. All I did was flip one bracket so that both brackets faced opposite directions. One the case side, I just used 4 bolts and stacked washers to allow that to slide through the ATV brackets. Fabrication work is more art than science.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing
I even have the same picture by my door ,, lol
I live in Kentucky and have the same one , same color, 460 engine ect, I never have taken it out for more then about a Hundred and never had the time to spend a night in it,, mile's, what kind of MPG do you get ?
