- I found that no amount of coffee will make the day have enough hours, so I have to cut back on some projects. I also don't want to leave people unsupported, so I came up with a plan. Oh, and I fixed the A/C in my Grand Cherokee again...
@M11Offroad use code LOWBUCK for a discount!

Thanks again for working with us! We're excited to keep Stick Shift ZJ alive and well.
@@M11Offroad great to learn about you on here. Always looking for new sources for Jeep Parts Made in the USA!!
That light bracket you guys made, if you beef it up a bit, and perhaps add that anti bend kink you can see on some brackets, that could be a great mount for an out of the water intake. Usually, you have to drill holes all over a vehicle, not just the fender, to install it. Brilliant bracket idea you guys had, thought i'd share a potential use for it.
Glad to see you guys taking over!
First time hearing about you guys. I'm honestly surprised at the price for some of your zj stuff, in a good way. Might order some of those light brackets soon but when the 42RE finally explodes (It really doesn't like the 31s and steel bumpers) I'll be ordering that pedal swap.
Congrats!
Low Buck Garage is the best thing on RUclips.
Aww second best. MUSTIE 1. GOT THE LEAD
liamrobinson2084 IMO way better than anything from vgg.
Antspants is my favourite. Same kind of humor. Then lowbuckgarage and then, new to me, watchweswork.
@@gerry-p9xI will have to check out that one
@@werfolf wasn't expecting to see his name pop up here, i found him when he started the kiro, been watching since
As a former Boeing Industrial Engineer, I too realized that I didn't like working for large companies. Since striking out on my own, my career has taken me around the world and presented me with far more opportunity and personal satisfaction. Your decision to pass the torch to these talented and enthusiastic young men is both rational, considering your well deserved growth on social media and pride in your work, ensuring the quality standard you implemented remains. Wishing you continued success and fun with your projects and channel!

Pretty awesome that I'm watching an older low buck garage video and a notification pops up that a new low buck garage video is posted! Great channel!
You tube nirvina😅😅😅😅
I'm glad you're branching out your business! more fun times with us here in RUclips!
hopefully those M11 offroad guys will do it with quality over quantity!
You may have an average guy personality, but there's nothing average about your mind and abilities. Your train of thought process is a joy to watch. Love the long format.
Looks like a decent couple of people you found to take over what you were doing so you can do what you want.
I have about 0 mechanical knowledge but your videos are great to watch. Great mix of informative, funny, and just generally entertaining.
It’s one thing to be smart enough to figure out how to make just about anything you need but it’s entirely another (and more rare) to be able to explain it so others can understand. Awesome that you found M11 Off-road and shared that information so others can source parts made in America and affordable.
If you can't explain something so a 6 year old can understand it, that's something you don't know much about. Takes a special type to be able to explain and not make us feel stupid.
Low Buck garage where all things are possible. Great video sir
Thanks for the great content. I borrow a lot of your ideas on my ranch. Very helpful and I enjoy the humor.
I am excited to see M11Offroad will continue to offer these. I love ZJ's and want to keep the one that I have out on the trail, but it has been disappointing and a little bit frustrating to see so many ZJ aftermarket companies go out of business over the past few years. For one of my winter projects I want to AX15 swap my ZJ, so I'll be planning to order this kit within the next few weeks.
Never fail to learn something new while watching your videos. Bonus of having fun while doing it!
Lou, I watched the video this morning on the Jeep. The parts that you make the same thing happens on the Toyota 4 runner. The pedal actually collapses because it's such cheap pot metal. I had to have my motor rebuilt right after I got it out. I stepped on a clutch and it was like stepping on a rotten tomato, so you could bring designer. Have those guys redesign that assembly for the Toyota forerunner. 92.
I'm not sure about the other years.I have a 90 too and might help them sure.They'd sell like hot cakes
Thank you for your presence on RUclips. I really like your videos, keep on having fun! 🎉
Thank you for sharing some of your past life. I really appreciate your channel.
This channel is quite the gem!
it's been a while since your last video I hope now you be making more videos ,your common sense approach to fitment problems are a breath of fresh air ,I hope to see more of your project on a more regular basis ,what a hell of a shop teacher you would have been with you wealth of knowledge and skills
Love your channel Low Buck. Happy to hear you will be spending more time making your great videos. Here’s hoping you get to a million subscribers soon. Looking forward to the next one.
I'm not a ZJ guy, prefer the XJs. But I can really appreciate that you sold your business on to someone else to keep the product on the market. Kills me to find the perfect product for a vehicle just to find the company went under or has a stupid long lead time. Like the 231 doubler kit out there - if you can get one they're great, but good luck because the guy is really slow.
¡Viva El Low Buck Revolucion!
Honestly my favorite channel on youtube
You are amazing. And I always wondered what your "day job" was. I had no idea you were a manufacturer.
I had to do the same thing in my E250 work van. Blower fan switch would always burn out. For a while i just had the wires sticking out of the dash and would connect the appropriate wire for the speed i wanted then i put a on - off - on switch i. Worked great for the rest of the vans life.
I work on older Jeeps a lot but your channel is full of great ideas and even better old trucks!! 👍👍
I'm glad you're happy and having fun. We try to keep our expenses low too so we can afford to stay here easily till they plant us.
As long as you can pay the bills do the fun stuff and take us along for the ride👍
Don't know what project the Jeep is, but it's Low Buck Garage, so I know I'm having fun! ❤
I was here for a low Buick but stayed cause this guy is alright
Low Buick 😂
I didn't know your History, you're amazing. Great idea for the Clutch Pedal Assembly . Always wondered how you could have enough time and money for your "Projects" a very busy man. Enjoying and sharing your videos.
Rules of Thumbs..
#1 Always stay upwind of the hind end.
Always an interesting upload. Big fan of the channel!
Great having a wee insight into your life, another great video, hi from Scotland!
Awesome channel look forward to every video
Glad to see youe channel finally take off and gain lots od subs. You deserve it.
So happy that your channel is getting the love it deserves, enough so that you can put more of your hours towards it.
Watching your content really fills me with the confidence ( likely unfounded :P ) to go and work on my own projects!
always wanted to buy one of your clutch pedal kits and the random projects are great
I am glad you chose to keep making videos for us. Can't wait to see what fun things you have coming!
I can't remember what my first video was but i have been hooked since, genuinely my favorite channel on this website
We also enjoy you being alive and functional. 😊
I spent my life welding and manufacturing. Loved it. There's a ton of stuff you could manufacture for the aftermarket industry.
I was just happy to get a 7/16-14 die today and fix a sickle mower bolt. Great job, James
Well P&W don't know the value of what they let out the door.
Awesome video again thank you 😁
Great content. Well done. Love the effort on editing.
So interesting you worked at Pratt... now your trip to CT makes more sense! I worked at UTRC back in the 90s.
I'm glad you are doing well with the channel your videos are fun to watch.
Attaboy -- well done.
Ohio and New Mexico are 2 of my 3 favorite states -- it's good to see them represented here.
This is the smartest man i ha e ever seen i like watching him say something is bad but fixable and having the know how to do it i have learned a lot from him and continue to do so its a great channel keep it going
I love watching and absorbing this information as best I can with your dry sense of humor. One of the funniest yet most informative channels on youtube! Where can we buy shirts? I would wear it proudly.
Looks like i will ne 30 minutes late to do my farm work.
You're a genius. Dexter's Lab all grown up 😅
I pass by Harris Welding all the time!
i had a feeling that your like a machinist slash engineer a guy with your temperament and ability is usually a smart fella. and you know what they say never trust a mechanic that has a spotless shop. a guy with a shop that looks worked in is busy. and for a good reason. Love your videos. and your ideas.
Oh man, I would love to have one of those jeep cherokee
You have become one of my favourite channels here, how you can do so high end CAD machining and design but happy to grab a dirty old bracket from a junk pile and smash it with a hammer, grind and weld to make it a new purpose in life :)
Oh, for the Phillips screw in hard to access areas, just wrap a bit of masking tape around the screw head and the end of the screwdriver. No more lost screws in cavities.
OK James, Thank you for another fine video. So, here's my story about working for a big company. I went to work for GM back in the late 70's. I was a Mopar guy thru and thru, but as one of my uncles who was a comptroller for Chrysler said, "their money spends." Well, living 5 miles from Pontiac Motors place of origin, lots and lots of people drove GM's so I gave it a try. I went to work in Engineering at a "proving ground." Not exactly assembly line work but I did a lot of repetitive things. But I wasn't an Engineer, so I figured OK let's give it a minute. Well the first thing I found out was even though I was working in automobile manufacture, I had no union representation. And guess what: They didn't want to pay much. But, I thought I'd give them a try anyway. After a while I found myself working all the overtime I could find at GM. So, one day a buddy called me up and said come over and check out a couple of businesses he was thinking about buying. One was a Pizza joint, another was a Dairy Queen, and still another was a carwash. I told him I didn't like the food industry because we'd both be dead from obesity at an early age. And the carwash was about a million years old, and it was something neither of us knew anything about much. So, then one day he asked me to come over and see a 4 bay car repair business. It was very small in profile, mostly handling older retires from Pontiac Motors cars, but I really liked the idea of car repair. So, I drove the 25 miles to his place 6 days a week befor I reported for work at GM. I had some distributive education and I had a philosophy: Take good care of the customers and outright ask them to bring someone back. I always gave the customer more than they needed for their repair. I.e. Several customers showed up with cars that needed brakes or exhaust and they warned me not to use the driver door because it was broken. Many many times I did the brakes or exhaust work and then worked on the door without telling them. Sometimes I would accompany the customer out to their car as they were leaving and I'd grab the door handle and open the door for them. They'd be shocked to see it worked. "That door hasn't worked for 2 years" some said. NO CHARGE! I'd say, Just bring someone else back. Success! (for my buddy) They brought people back in droves. Eventually my buddy bought the restaurant next door and made a larger 9 bay store for him to work out of. I kept helping until my knees needed replacing, and also worked at the GM job every day. GM went bankrupt, but some of us got to stay under the new name. I had to take a 10% pay cut, but I could work all the overtime I wanted. My buddy had become big business too, and was making millions by then but he never offered me anything extra for helping. So I gravitated back to GM only. But had to leave a little early due to some kind of vertigo issue. And now after the Obama 3.0/ Biden Harris inflation, stock market destruction, bond market implosion,(and who ever heard of bond market being destroyed?) and finally blaming the inflation on consumers instead of congress they even raised the interest rates on money borrowed which destroyed the real estate market. I'm doomed. I can't work, and there is literally nowhere to invest left. Oh and I almost plumb forgot, I bought several vintage Mopar cars and pickup trucks to convert to hot rods and "Little Red Express" and "Warlock" trucks, but Obama 3.0/ Biden Harris is threatening to take gasoline away. Net Zero Carbon by 2030. Also Too, I have heard in Europe they have begun to stop production of certain specialty lubricating oils, like Hypoid and ATF. I only wish I would have forgone everyone else and did my own thing. But, hindsight is always 20/20, right? Having fun now just trying to keep my own cars going without paying to have it done, but it is hard with the world spinning all the time. ben/ michigan
"And I HATE working under dash boards"
YES!!! Me too!
Awesome that it was handed off to a great couple of people that will take pride taking it over. Automotive industry is about selling the next model. To me it should be like when Henry Ford Sr was alive. Keep the old ones going and always have a next model if you want. Not force down your throat every chance they get.
I'm up in Cleveland working at a company rhat makes plasma cutting tables. You just can't beat all the little steel fab shops all over Ohio. They're a lot of our customers and they make good stuff!
great ideas , you come up with them .
I use to work for a company that made parts for pride mobility and a few other power chair companies. We did everything from the spring in the seat to the washer and ball joint. All made in house by Americans. We even had robotic welders next to people welding in there "cave" to weld and focus.
Love this channel, your ideas is just the way I think too😊
Glad to see you could pass the business along 😎👍
This is an awesome channel and I always look forward to watching your videos.
I always watch your vids. You don't put out so many that it becomes monotonous to follow and they are all interesting.
Please make some content with one of the old Mercedes in the yard. Old german stuff is great.
i've been following you for years (and i mean it), keep up the good work!
Wonderful episode
That explains much about your knowledge. Thanks for sharing, secretly wishing you may get more time for videos now as well.
Big fan of your videos!
I think the idea of the upper fasteners is about crash safety. This way, the bracket can't rotate to the side (easily) if crash forces push in the firewall. This avoids that your feet get caught by the pedal or the bracket flipping up against the solid bar above.
Sounds like a good move, to have M11 OffRoad take over the clutch pedal and bracket business. I don't have a ZJ but if I did, I would consider doing a swap. Never was a fan of the slush box transmission.
Great video, keep having fun
I really enjoy your videos, Thanks for doing them.
Congrats!
Congratulations on your channel exploding to 127 thousand subs, thats around 100 thousand since I subscribed. Cheers Sir 😊
27:03 I was going to leave😂
Glad to see another video, fun stuff
Thank you once again for an excellent video, i really enjoyed it as always, i'd dearly love them to be longer ! i could watch what you do for how ever long the video is .
You know it's a good day when you get back from fishing and find a Low-Buck video waiting for you. Damn, life is gewd 😁
common problem with newer blower motors, the amperage draw is to high for the controller to handle but not enough to notice a problem in the motor. replacing the blower motor and melted connector/controller normal dose the trick.
Paint the truck with a raptor coating, maybe a green colour? Thanks for your page, I love it! (Watching in Sydney Australia). Cheers mate.
Love these oddball build videos. :)
Congratulations with the 100K subscriber plaque ! Good job !
Glad to hear you'll have more time to make videos
love your videos and their content, always a good watch.
Dude, this is gold content! I love this engineering stuff. One of my favorite videos you've made.
That was amazing, and really interesting stuff. Good job at gauging these opportunities and making some business out of it. True hustler spirit!! Cheers!
Jeep Wrangler people are always fun.
Smarter then your average bear. Love the channel.
Allways wondered what you do for a living, now I know. 🙂
We ❤️you ! Keep having fun and making videos ! And we will keep watching them !!!!!! Thumbs this up if you agree !!!!!
The best of luck to both concerns 👍
Good stuff! Looking forward to seeing you at Duct Tape Drags! Do you ever sell T-shirts?
thats awesome an congrats!!!
The Real end.... I like that!😂
I am hesitant to applaud you for abandoning the parts business to focus on videos. I don't know that you tube fans can handle the pandemonium that is full time Low Buck Garage.
Unleash the whirlwind! It'll be fun!
Great info and the jeep clutch pedal and bracket..
Excellent Video James :) also video to very interesting and information to help others out lots also I sure help me out lots to fixing up my cousin vechile on a JEEP one!
Thanks!!
The backstory is pretty cool. I have a shop nearby making incense burners.
I would prefer a fuse for a heavy load like a blower fan. I had used a circuit breaker before and it would go open after a long use time under heavy load, simply by getting hot. Learned that the hard way when I used one for a radiator fan on a customer's car. O_o
