A Long Long Way to GO
США
Добавлен 22 мар 2020
A self proclaimed “expert” at NOTHING……We are simply about adventures and setbacks. Not just another Jeep channel about “Jeep” things ( although our Jeeps are a BIG part of our lives ) but a channel for all things. Whether it be motor home repairs, upgrades, jeep repairs or just another adventure with our @RockSolidRig family. We invite you to come along with us. Experience what we changed about the daily grind of just working. After a major medical setback in our family, this is about deciding to change the way we thought about things and how we decided to...well..Live life today...tomorrow never gets here.

Hurricane Beryl | It could have been worse
Hurricane Beryl hit as a Category one storm just westerly of Freeport Texas. Making a rather large arc, its movement put the eye wall and surrounding outer bands closely over Houston Texas. That curvature continued and passed very near our home on Lake Livingston Texas. No over dramatizing it here. This is a short few minutes of what we experienced.

A smart fella' would have tied the new line to the old line before pulling it out!!!
@@robertsimpson7113 oooo…..good try. But me being “dumb” figured the four 90° turns and hose tie down clamps along the frame that kept you from doing that wasn’t gonna work. But nice try.
Any bow in your toe sticks makes a difference in your readings. Remember your one degree example.
@@MrTurbo64 Yeh. It was just a way to try and get things pretty darn close. I since then got some of the TMR adapters ( well….borrowed ) and rigged up some of those super cheap laser pointer lights straight down on the floor….then it’s just a simple measure of the laser dots…worked pretty dang good. Since this video though, we run 40” stickies now so not much road driving anymore at all. Although I did drive it to the Ozarks and back on the stickies…LOL…it did great.
Put your hand behind the hose so that it then camera focuses
@@sergevilleneuve1715 Good idea !!!! Stupid auto focus !!!! Thanks.
Great video, AJ. My son was watching with me and he loved watching you make up the -AN fittings. Quick question; do you have a link where I can source the SWACK and Blue Devil tape? Looks like good stuff. Hopefully next year I'll be replumbing my fuel system on my truck and I'll be going with PTFE hose and -AN fittings. Again, great video as always.
@@theezeelife292 You can actually purchase the liquid version of Blue Monster at Home Depot. It works just as good as SWAK does and is slightly cheaper and more readily available. As far as the Blue Monster in tape form let me see if I can “SWaK” some from my stainless supplier for free !!!
@@ALongLongWaytoGO You're awesome, dude.
Sounds like a Ford 2.3 misfiring
@@Mr_BUSINESS_24_7 😂😂😂
can you grill there? also im not going in a rv but i can park close to the river to go swimming ?
@@spamaya713 there is a parking lot barely 1/4 mile down the road at the river crossing. Lots of shade trees and access directly to the river….BUT…If the river is flowing good, need to get there early to get the good spots. Also you can look up Rio Frio and there is a lot there also with great access for swimming.
Our Magna is rubbing in the very same spot! I will be adjusting it this week! Thanks so much for the video and valuable help!
@@CCMagna06 does it have a tendency to creep out at the top before slide goes out? Very well could be same issue.
It is exactly the same issue, I will let you know the outcome when I am done! Gotta fix the heater hose that blew out on our way home the other night first! Haha🤪
OK, you inspired me, opened up, adjusted about 1/8” on the adjustment nuts, lubed up the mechanism and good to go! Also nice to see the paint stripes lined up on the outside! Thanks again
@@CCMagna06 I love it when a plan comes together!!!!
Just one more reason I respect the hell out of you, never afraid to tackle a project and learn something.
@@RockSolidRig It’s all about continuing education……and the stealership charges WAY too much money for EVERYTHING!!!!
On those trim pieces, you could probably find some plastic sleeves that glue to the back of the strip and friction fit inside the recesses of the screw holes.
Great video, AJ. A lot simpler than I thought it would be.
@@theezeelife292 I was a nervous wreck !!!! Things can go south very quickly !!! LOL
Another amazing DIY video! I'd call you a WIZARD as in "help me Mr. Wizard" Lol.
@@kevinp2820 not gonna lie…..this one is 100% Dennis Maloney…..Couldn’t have done it without his guidance…..so maybe just Wizard Apprentice for now !!! LOL….wait till next week when you find out I’m secretly a contortionist……🤔
@@ALongLongWaytoGOwe already know you're a contortionist! Wait, I saw that video somewhere else...
@@RockSolidRig different account !!!!……LOL
what is the offset of the rims? -18 ?
NOTE !!! I had a viewer comment the reflective material is on outside of window. This did puzzle me as I was specifically WARNED to NOT use steel wool on the reflective side of glass as it would definitely scratch it…..So my con-fizzle isss……I steel wooled the hey YA out of the outside of window and now it sparkles with no scratches….🤔🤔🤔
Hey AJ… I for one really appreciate your long form videos! Especially for the great DIY projects you tackle. It is very helpful to be able to watch ALL the details that are actually necessary to get a project done correctly. Thank you for taking the time to document the entire deal. Also appreciate that you are fearless when it comes to taking on DIY projects on your coach. I am inspired to do the same and it helps me truly “know” my coach as well as save some $’s. Take care and thanks again!
@@pauljordan756 Thank you sir. I get really nervous on the long ones !!!!…..😀
Great video as usual. The mirror finish is on the outside. I know this because the dealer had a "free detail" and destroyed one of my windows. Not sure what chem they used but I'm still searching for someone that can match the mirrored finish.
@@moto52000 very curious to me as I was very much warned not to steel wool the inside finish as it would destroy the mirror finish by scratching it. And of course as I showed in video I steel wooled the crap out of the outside to get the water spots off. They look beautiful with not a scratch one…..so I’m definitely puzzled now to say the least. 🤔🤔🤔
I have a 2006 Magna, had all 12 of her windows reworked in Searcy, Arkansas last week, every one of them was fogged. I was thinking about doing them myself. But decided to farm this out. Huge difference! Glad it’s done.
@@CCMagna06 it’s a lot of work for sure. But happy I learned how to….Now for the next ones ???……Ohh boy !!!! LOL
Definitely very, VERY labor intensive. But much like everything you do I had no doubt you'd be able to accomplish your end goal. Great video and love the attention to detail.
@@RockSolidRig Thank you !!!! Wait till we do fuel lines on the generator…..I may have learned to be a contortionist also…..
Another amazing DIY video! No need to apologize for the long video. I appreciate that you take the time to show what you did to fix everything you show us.
@@kevinp2820 thank you. I feel like I cut and cut the video and it still takes all day to watch it !!!!
Thanks for the video was at a loss before watching it, just finished my American Eagle, (3M product) the heads up on the scraper really helped, got them a harbor freight, I used a product called rapid remover (amazon) and was able to get my glue off with just 1 quart of product, one thing I did do was after 2nd application and scraping I put mineral spirits on a rag and cleaned of the residual chunks of glue, it also with mild rubbing removed the small are where glue was still stuck, made the job go much faster. Thanks again.
@@4knanapapa I bet it looks beautiful…..Thank you for watching. We greatly appreciate it.
@@ALongLongWaytoGO it does, its amazing how well the vinyl protects the paint, I'm going to follow your suggestion on the ceramic coat as well.
@@4knanapapa yep. just keep it clean and keep the bugs off of it and then apply some kind of protection over the paint to help with UV protection.
@@ALongLongWaytoGO I've been looking at ceramic coatings and can't decide what to use do you have a suggestions
Great video
@@randalkauppi6821 thank you.
I think the "canned ham" has gotten you brainwashed! Come back to the jeep side AJ...
LOL…..It was super fun !!! But I would definitely miss my AC and heat way too fast !!!!
What an awesome excursion!! Definitely get the hype behind the SxS thing for sure after that trip. I need some more powaaaaa though 😂 senor chris was so cool! They both were really great people even if he did make me slow down 🤣 just call me speedy that’s my new name from this trip
@@michellejohnston8944 El’ Speedy con LOCO !!!…..LOL
@@ALongLongWaytoGO Arriba Arriba Amigo!!
Looked like a Great Ride!!!👍🏼🏁
@@Smokeroux it was a BLAST !!!!……Trails for months out there !!
YEP! And just like Jeep they havnt changed it on the JL either!
@@Bill-bv9ld ohh NOO !!!! WHAT? The JL has the same issue?
Awesome I look forward to see you thank you for sharing your time.
❤ it also I live down here in deals gap.
@@bobbydaytona08 Sweet !!!! I will be there Saturday all day on August 24th….racing motorcycles Saturday night with Judd in the 50’s races. Flying in Wednesday for Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion and then headed out to Deals Gap Saturday morning. Hope to see ya there !! I’ll have a shirt on with the RUclips Channel name on back.
❤ it great protection I’m thinking of getting a SRT Jeep good choice?
@@bobbydaytona08 we were very happy with them. The fit was good and they did there job of keeping the junk on the mat and not the carpet. We love our SRT GC. Second one we’ve had. Be nice to have a Track Hawk…..but goodness gracious!!!!
Nice Video! Is there any option to reset “flash memory “ of the AC module?
@@keftel ok…..here’s the truth on that subject….I have NO clue !!!….LOL….I have never read or heard otherwise about anyone doing that. I guess if the flash program was available….maybe….but then I’m not sure how you would even access it…..maybe through J-Scan somehow….
@@ALongLongWaytoGO ha ..thanks .. so I used to have a similar issue with an old Rover .. memory would get jammed up and my mechanic at the time had a way of “erasing the memory” . It would often take up to a minute for AC to start blowing .. The way I remember him explaining was that there were too many functions it had to perform to get to the AC… meaning it had a lot of stored codes that had to be cleared. After he cleared then he the AC would come on quickly. Made sense at the time . Plus it worked .
@@keftel Awesome…..I wish we could figure that out !!!…..Soooo many of these Wranglers all have the same issue….Kind of like….Chrysler / FIAT knows they have a problem.
I was pretty nervous it was gonna be super sickening bc of how choppy the water looked but actually it wasn’t bad at all!!! And the sunset ride back to town was hands down my favorite part of that day. Hmm maybe I should sell one of my bikes and get a small boat instead 🤔
@@michellejohnston8944 That is a FANTASTIC idea !!!!
@@ALongLongWaytoGO gonna have to sleep on it…. I really really like my bikes but we do have a really nice lake here too…. Decisions decisions lol
@@michellejohnston8944 Cumberland River in Somerset !!! Anywhere you wanna go !! All the way to the Great Lakes….Or all the way to The Gulf Of Mexico!!!
NICE! Always great to be out on the water. Looked a bit choppy out there tho. Ida been chumming the fish instead of chowing on tacos. Lol!
@@kevinp2820 water was smooth as could be….kind of surprising really. We did do some fishing also…..7 Marlin ( catch and release as there is a one fish / boat limit ) 2 Tuna and a Dorado….local on the dock grill cooked it all up for us…..DELICIOUS!!!
" all i did was bust a nut " 🤣😂🤘
How's the AC holding up? We have an 05 Inspire with leaking HP lines. Deep cracks in outer jacket, I'm thinking replace entire line.
@@tomibert5437 I shudder at the thought!!….If that’s the one that runs the entire length of Coach I applaud you for how much work that is. But totally agree if the rubber is cracking and deteriorating then replacing ends alone is only going to patch you shortly. Ours is doing great. Comparative to what it was before !!….Hard to adjust to the fact they just don’t get as cold as a typical automotive AC.
@ALongLongWaytoGO What part of Texas? We're in Baytown. My strategy would be to buy caps for each of connection points to seal system, plus validate size & threads. While capped, I could remove and replicate hoses.
@@tomibert5437 Good deal. We are north of Houston. Lake Livingston.
Just got my set in the mail for my 2005 unlimited. Going to attempt to install these myself. Thank you so much for creating this very educational video.
@@zipzip5807 thank you. The American Iron Off-road company is great folks. I know Josh personally and have been to many events with him. We are NOT affiliated in any way other than being friends. If you have ANY questions reach out to them. Josh will not stop until they have determined the proper solution.
@@ALongLongWaytoGO You must be talking about Josh Dodsworth. I had emailed a question and he quickly responded personally to my request and was very courteous. I can't wait to install these on my jeep. Thanks again for you video!
@@zipzip5807 YEP !!!!
lol Garner is literally the party park. lol. So annoying.
@@watching-and-judging-you it was a nut house every day. Made it even better to watch the craziness from our nice quiet little retreat in the shade trees.
Did the noise get worse when you turned your AC on? I’m having that squealing problem also, I changed the water pump with a Napa auto parts one, changed the belt, tension and idler pulley and it’s still making the noise. I’m at a dead end with it I just want it to go away 😂
@@jayepena3819 I don’t think ours changed any with AC…..have you tried very lightly spraying the belt while it’s running with very light amount of WD-40 to see if it changes? If it goes away it’s something to do with belt riding on pulleys. If it stays it’s purely mechanical related.
@@ALongLongWaytoGO I’ve sprayed water on it and the sound was still there. I used a stethoscope and it sounded like it was coming from the water pump. Maybe got a faulty one from Napa?
@@jayepena3819 well…..I would want to say I hope not…..but…..it’s easy enough to pull belt back off and spin each item independently to check for binding. The WP should obviously spin smoothly with some tension on it ( seal is loaded so WP will not just spin freely )
Great Job Where did you buy your battery from ?
@@alfredalookman2941 I ended up just purchasing from O’Reillys….As they were ALL expensive !!!
Looks like a Great Trip! Great New Video Clips too. 👍🏼🏁🏁
@@Smokeroux it’s pretty awesome down there…..lots of rock and desert though….But I like it !!!! Good off-road racing
@@ALongLongWaytoGO what resolution do you normally upload?
@@Smokeroux 4K / 30fps…..I still use I-Movie and that’s the highest it will recognize. It will default 4K / 60fps to 1080HD…..Final Cut Pro is whooping my arse…..But it will do higher resolution.
Well……RUclips did not disappoint. After going through their copyright checks….we got the A OK !!…..And then of course after the release….NOPE….They come back and say copyright restrictions……Come on RUclips…..get your crap together…..the music is even advertised on RUclips as copyright free…..WTH???
Y’all have more fun than a barrel of monkeys 🤙
We ARE a barrel of monkeys !!!!! LOL
Thank you for this!
Wow! That is simply awesome! Newbie question, will this work on a JL? Also, I just have the stock driveshaft does this change anything, I see conflicting info that the type makes a difference on how to measure? And assuming Jeep has to be at ride height with tires on?
Good video but I can’t believe you didn’t replace the 90 fitting
