Progear Squat Rack and Lat Pull Down - Unboxing, Assembly, and Review
Thanks for the video save money to do it yourself, the dealer would overcharge for this type of job.
Great video, thank you. Very detailed
@123lolshto I really appreciate that you watched and commented on the video. I really hope it helps you with your project.
So how long did it take you to do this project (how long do you think it would take without worrying about filming it for RUclips?)? Great job.
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. I believe this would have taken me about 4 hours without youtube filmimg, and I was learning as I was going along. I feel like with my video, and doing this for the first time, someone should be able to finish the job in 2.5 or 3hrs. Let me know how long it takes you when you finish!
@@joesdiy4260 Thank you for the reply. Yeah, I've been debating on doing the job. Where we live it's not really necessary to have the heater in the seat, but for a couple of months it would be nice. I did call the dealer out of curiosity and they were hesitant to do it since none of their techs really had experience doing it and they said it would be like $600, so no thanks. I'll add this project to my never ending list of projects.
@jamesb5863 The dealer cost sounds about right. I also bought the part from some random online retailer and sells genuine Honda OE parts. Ah yes, the list that never stops growing haha I wish you the very best. Take care.
what size fan are you using
@CharlesGardiner-ft8fs thanks for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it! I have a ryobi 18v 7.5in fan that I use, just stick it on low with a 4ah battery and you can leave it running all day.
@@joesdiy4260 Thanks, ill need more info as i go. i.m picking up a used highlander this wednesday

The mid range had their own tweeters. Now you have two in each door. How does it sound?
Hey, thanks for watching and commenting. To be honest, it sounded great, but sadly the truck was stolen about 1.5yrs ago and it was never recovered. Take care and good luck with your truck!
How much oil did you use and what size was the filter cap!
Hey, sorry for not responding in so long, thank you for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it. I added exactly 5qts and that's with the filter. My filter cap was a 24mm

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting! Amoh2513 has answered the first question. You will have to do some research, but I am pretty sure the ribbon cable is different width, so you need to get a touch screen mobo. PLEASE RESEARCH AND DO NOT TAKE MY WORD.

Good video but may want to explain how many quarts you put in and show the proper or safe oil level on the dipstick.
Hi! Thanks for watching and commenting, I really do appreciate it. I will start to include the weight and how many quarts of oil the manufacturer states to put in the engine in my future videos.

What sz are the tweeters? I change out my 6.5s idk the size to change the tweeters too
Hey, thanks for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it! I honestly don't know the size of the stock tweeters, maybe 1in? I would just look up 2001 silverado stock tweeter size. I am sure there will be lots of results.

Love it I have 2 GT GT Avalanche 26 3.0 and a GT aggressor 26er 3.0
Hey! Thanks for watching and commenting. This is a really great bike and I really enjoyed building it, I am even more happy that you own the same thing. I love reviving old metal and I am happy other that appreciate it.
It would have been nice if you had commented on the material you used.
Hey! Thanks for watching and comment, I used 18g steel. That's all I remember. Hope that helps.
What the hell is leaking underneath. You should fix those
I think at the time of this video there was a power steering pump + rack and pinion leak and a rear main seal leak. I fixed the first two, then the truck was stolen haha
What did that drainplug do to you no reason to torque it like that
Lol torqueing to spec. But honestly, it may look like I hammered on it, but I didn't tighten it that hard / much.
How did you determine the junk yard rack & pinion was good shape?
Truthfully, you never know until you run the part on the car. But things you can look for when you are in the yard to give you a high level of confidence that whatever part you are pulling does not have issues are: - Does it look new? - Does it have a reman sticker on it? - Is the part covered in fluid? If so, can you identify where the leak is coming from? Maybe there was something above that leaked onto the part you want. - Can you physically move the part in a way where you can tell that it is bad/broken? In the case of the rack that I pulled, I employed all of the above questions and I had a high confidence that it was OK. I really hope this helps, thanks for watching and commenting and have a great day!
Thanks, I saw about 4 vehicles with oily boots but two that weren’t
@jasontalbot3121 yeah, I would try out the two that didn't have oil all over the boots. The rack I picked up was super clean.
Probably the best DIY video for the 4th generation LS Lexus. Did you happen to make a video showing how to do the rear brakes and rotors?? I have to do those as well! Great video. Thank you!
Hi Melissa, thank you so much for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it. I do NOT have a video of the rear brakes, but when the time comes to replace them on this car, I will be sure to film it. Take care and I wish you the best on your car projects!
I'm going to get on this project this weekend. I've bought a pad which shows the correct part number (81534-TK8-A412-M1) though the 2-M1 at the end seem extra. My first concern is the connector - what I saw of yours, it looks different. Mine is wide with 6 contacts in a single line. Is this correct? Excellent video - detail was very good.
Hey Bill, thank you so much for watching and commenting, I really do appreciate it. I don't know what's expected or not expected in terms of the connector. So I am sorry I cannot help you there. The only thing I can tell you is, if you gave the VIN to the dealer and picked up the part from the dealer, you SHOULD be OK. I am really excited to hear if you are able to complete the repair with my video tutorial. There have been other success stories with my video and I hope you add to that. Good luck and take care!
Why are you taking the o ring over the old oil filter, that makes no sense.
Hey! Thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it. I will make sure to remove the old oil filter prior to installing the new o-ring in the future. Thanks, and have a great day!
That's what you're suppose to do with any oil filter. My oil filter even comes with a paper saying to change the ring
Why do people continue to jack up their cars for an oil change. People buy yourself a set of ramps. So much easier and safer.
Hey, thanks for watching and commenting. The reason why I use a jack and jack stands is that ramps take too much space in my garage. Ramps are safer but they are not as versatile as a jack and jack stands, but that is my opinion. Regardless of how we lift a car, I hope you were able to use this video to change the oil on your vehicle. Have a great day!
Thanks. I know this is a year old now, but I just got my 2017 SS last year, and it's time for breaks. Want to go all OEM, but the Chevy dealership is out of their mind. It's about 1000 just for new pads. All OEM pads, rotors, and hardeware are about 980bucks if i do it myself. Thanks for the tutorial.
Hey, thanks for watching and commenting, I really do appreciate it. I bought the front pads and rotors off rockauto, they have the OEM parts.....at least they did when I bought them. Enjoy the SS, it's a fantastic car.
@joesdiy4260 Thanks, rear rotors are hard to find, but I found 2 along with everything else from Rock Auto and GM parts Online. I am so mad at myself for not buying this car brand new, but I am definitely loving it.
@pjh1776 I ended up getting FVP rear rotors and some GM brake pads (not OEM) and I wish I just paid the premium for the OEM stuff. I brake pedal feels different, not as much bite in the braking. I also flushed all my fluid at the time of the brake job.
@joesdiy4260 ah yes, I might as well do the same. Yeah, I'm paying for it, but it sounds like I made the right call.
*brakes
Just got a 2020 Trax AWD. I have a 2015 Sonic with 107k on it, which still runs like a top. Hoping the Trax will do the same.
Hey, thanks for watching and commenting, long lasting cars mostly comes down to the maintenance. I say mostly because there is always unforseen things that can happen haha take care!
Great video with details. By the way where are you may be if you are close I will contact you. Jose, We bought 2011 a month back in fairly good condition. Now in chicago winter my father-in-law complained the passenger seat heating light is not turning on. I have to check the fuse after the cold front is over. But I don't have time to do this DIY work nor taking it to dealer. Thanks for posting . I will live with butt cold passenger seat. As long as the front heat is working we are good.
Hi, thanks so much for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it. I am sadly not in Chicago, but I wish you the best of luck if you try to tackle this job. I have had numerous people say that they were able to complete the job with this video. Thanks and take care!
I just went through the process to replace the back heating pad and your video was extremely helpful with the process.
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. It always feels great to help someone out. Take care.
What type of twiiters can go or you will have to modify the stock ones?
And do they have to be conected in the same wite harness or will have to be mod
@joshuayanez7674 thanks for watching and commenting, Ireally appreciate it. Sadly, I don't know the answer to your question but I am sure with a bit of googling and using my video to see the connector type, you should be able to get your answers. Good luck!
Oh no Joe..are you still driving this bad boy??🫣😏
Next step, gonna swap an 8bt and rip the axle off the ram dually in a truck pull.
Perfect - that drain plug size is what I needed. Since buying my 2001 GMC last year, this is the second thing I've worked on with metric sized bolts, which surprised me.
So you don’t have to break the bleeding bolts loose on the calibers when pushing old pads in, to keep from pushing brake fluid back through the system? I have a 2013 LS460L..
Hello, thanks for watching and commenting, simply put, in the 18yrs of working on cars, I have never once opened the bleeder when pressing in the caliper piston back, I just leave the master cylinder cap off. I hope you found the video helpful and good luck on the brake job!
Ok thank you sir!
How is everything holding up? I really want to purchase the lat pulley attachment, but I do not have any experience with cables. Is this something that is easy to install? Thanks.
Hey Andrew, the cable attachment is holding up really well and with the instructions provided in the box, it was very straight forward to install. I hope this helps you out, thanks for watching and commenting. If you have any other questions please let me know!
@@joesdiy4260 I went ahead and got a cheap lat pull-down and low row cable machine on Amazon and put it together today. Thanks for the reply.
Not a huge car guy. Whats the exact oil Filter needed?
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. Sadly, I cannot give you the information that you are looking for. Every manufacturer (Fram, Bosch, Purilator, MAHLE, Mobile, etc) has a different model number for the same size oil filter. If you simply call an auto parts store and ask for a filter, they can help you out. Hope this helps and have a great day!
Who makes a good 4g63 that's built and can drop right in.Exhaust and. Radiator Brakes and suspension.This car is so fun to drive just needs 300 HP or more.
Hey man, thanks for watching commenting. This car was my first and last dive into the DSM family, I loved the car and loved the after market + hot rodding scene for it. I really wish I didn't sell it. But I honestly do not know who makes all of what you are looking for, I thought the 4g63 drops right in 🤔
I have a 95 I want to do but Im not mechanical.Should I do anything with the4g64 in there or take it out and put a built 4g63 and do brakes and suspension
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting, because you say that you are not mechanical, it is hard for me to recommend a mod for you to do. But with that out of the way, I know people would use the bottom end (engine block, pistons, robs, crank, oil pan) and place a 4g63 head on top and create a stroker engine with the 4g64, but I do believe there is some mods that need to be done to the cylinder head, like oil or water passage block offs. I am 95% sure that the 4g63 engine drops into the car, but I could be wrong, I would check out the Egale Summit FB group, lots of smart guys on there that have done a 4g63 swap on these cars. Good luck and have a great day!
can you just disconnect the back heater, so that the bottom heater only works?
Hey, thanks for watching and commenting. I don't know the answer to your question, I THINK that both the back and bottom heater wires need to be connected to complete the circuit. IF you decided to do something like that, I would think you need play with the wiring. I know this is a daunting task and I hope my video makes it easier. Have a happy holiday!
Good video
Hey, thanks for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it
Greetings Joseph, first off, until I saw that you left the Fork stear tube very long I knew it wasn't going to work 😅. Second, you're not going to build wheels for a living so don't worry about your speed building them. A dish tool is advised if you plan to build more which I would encourage you to do so. You did great. Jobst Brandt is a gentleman who wrote a book about wheels and building them.
I first would like to say thanks for watching commenting. It really means a lot. 😁 yup, I left the stearer tube long because I knew it would go into a different frame. I absolutely know I won't be building wheels for a living lol, I just wanted to let others know how long it took me since it could take someone shorter, as long or longer to build their first wheel set. I one million percent needed to dish the wheels, haha. I did a poor man's dishing by putting the wheels in frame and measuring left and right between the fork tubes and the back of the frame. I was able to get them dished pretty evenly. I will definitely not be building another set, but anytime soon, there is no need to right now. But it's fun to understand the process, and it is always a humbling experience when you learn something new.
Not a good location to to place jack under car, that is not a steel frame.
From my 18yrs of experience working on cars that are generally 15 to 20yrs old and have lived their entire life in the rust belt (north east), I never ever lift cars from the pinch welds. They are the first things to rust and get very, very weak. This car is only 3 years old at the time of filming but I wanted to film with a lift point that I KNOW will be OK for 20 years. So, if anyone watches the video in the future, they can do the job safely.
How many liters of oil do I need to fill it with
Hello! Thanks for watching and commenting, I did a quick Google search and it says 5qts with filter. But I would still start the engine AFTER filling it with oil, let it run for a few seconds and have the oiling system prime the filter, turn it off, wait a minute to allow the oil to drain back and re check the oil level. Good luck and take care.
How do you know when to change the oil
Hello! There are multiple ways you can identify when to change the oil. Either 3000 or 5000 miles, milage depends on weather you use conventional or synthetic oil respectively. Another indicator is the oil life monitor, I generally change a cars oil that is equipped with an oil life monitor at 30%. You can wait until 0% but I always find that the oil has a very burnt smell and is very black indicating it is over used.
My mechanic told me to change the oil on this vehicle when the oil life monitor is at 50 per cent. He said this engine has a lot of problems especially with the oil line going to the turbo becoming clogged. That is why he recommends frequient oil changes for this engine. He said believe me it will save you a lot of grief with this engine.
@scrambler69-xk3kv that is amazing information and I would say that around the 3k mile mark, your oil life indicator will be at about 50 or 55%
