This channel makes 45 minute videos feel like 5 minutes. You just never want then to end.
Thats why i push / encourage 1 - 1.25 hour videos yet the sentiment seems to always be " oh no, this video is getting too long " ... -_-
I agree his videos are never too long
1:48 "RUST assured, that IS the real deal!" 😂🤣
Hey Chris. Those who like the “patina” whether it comes to a rusty car or blue jeans are just trying to buy “blue collar” experience that they have not earned. You’ve earned it my friend.
I remember 20 years ago, Old Navy, sold Mechanix Jeans. Ones that had fake grease stains and ones that were distressed. I went for the distressed look. I was a hit with the girls in college at the time!
@@HighSierra1500that’s wild. I hate it when I end up somewhere social looking greasy.
I dont care mutch for cars. I startes to look on your boat engin repears and liked them a lot, and now i like cars also. You sir are a wisard with engins. Love all your videos. Thanks for sharing.
I like patina. The real patina. I've never understood why someone would fake it then spray shiny clear over it. On my 1967 Ford F-100 SWB it's got real patina and I'm gonna scuff it and spray flat clear on it and I'm done. It sat in a old man's yard unprotected for 30 years to get to the look it has.
You see I’m on the other side of that why not just kind of give us a good cleanup and then just do a cheap paint job so it doesn’t look like hell but that’s just my opinion. It doesn’t take a lot of money to put a paint job on there people make it seem like it’s so hard. It’s gonna cost so much but a guy could do it himself and be proud of it without spending Thousands… ask me how I know
Because when we spend 60 Grand on our truck we don't want it to rust away but we want the look
From South Africa, if i may ask, what do you guys use for/ to patina a car, is there a special product on the market?
Had a 67 Ford 500 , no rust . . put a Perkins 6354 in it , pushed the diff back to end of chassis as was planning to turn it into a tilt tray . . but just ended up putting a hiab crane on it . . actual resprayed it original Dulux red it came with that I got off from the VIN plates & had Dulux mix it up for me who understood the code
Patina is rust and shit paint. Plain and simple. It amazes me people don’t aim higher than that.
saw this new vid in my feed, Friday just got better
Appreciate you tuning in! Hope you enjoy your Friday
What you want for the bed electrics is called dragchain, it's a segmented loom guard. You've probably seen it already on forklifts and anything with an extendable boom. If you run a piece of C channel along the frame for it to sit in and run your loom though that should sort you out.
Great advice!
14:09 Jen to the rescue 🙂 oh and ,congratulations you guys
The rollback sounds great. I love the Gus man. I'm glad he's feeling good. I can't wait for Jens big news. I definitely will be watching her channel for that.
I think big news got patent pending on the cellar toilets mods with AMERICAN STANDARD
Read my comment
out of all the rigs you've had something about that rollback is just the coolest to me
I no nothing about cars but I like watching your videos. Thank you.
And English
@@Deek6923 one of those, good one champ
@@Deek6923 Try to be nice.
This is not the place to learn from properly. Drywall anchors is hack work. Best I can say. If you are going to do the job do it right!. Side of the road repairs aside. At a shop hack work is not what to do.
@@ClimptonDiddlehopper it's a rotted out 70s jeep. Chris posts a ton of vids and there's a ton to learn from, he does good work. Lets see your perfect barrett jackson restorations lmao
I love the way u make things goods as new when they are good for the scrap dealer 🤣 i watch ur videos since years, it's always a pleasure, greetings from France.
A man that knows how to run a tap and die set I get so sick of seeing people on RUclips putting sockets on the set ups and crank away with the impacts or cordless ones. Thanks again for sharing that with everyone. 😊
Yea, I only use a sockey type setup when it's a tight spot
Hey Chris, iirc that Jeep is a limited edition 'denim' model, that's why there's blue seats and decals
The seats should actually be covered in denim
Wheeler Dealers restored 1 a few years back
The LEVI Editions had denim seats. That looks like one! Super Cool blue and white.
Really like your style man. Buy more, built fortune for your children, you are a good man. Have children and build generation welth. You give us hope. Build a Family! MADE IN AMERICA!
I'm a "car guy", and I really enjoy watching Chris do things right! So many RUclipsrs cut corners and do some pretty sketchy things... and having the lovely (and talented) Jenn and the Gus man along just makes for a well-done channel.
I had a grey tabby named turbo too .
He was the best cat ever.
Very playful and nothing ever scared or startled him.
He would always hang out with me in my little shop.
Hey Chris!! I've just watched Jens video and I want to congratulate you, you'll make an awesome father !! I hope you both keep us all updated on the pregnancy much love from the UK!!
Man, 96k miles. Someone had a lot of fun with this thing over the years.
Is that a lot for the area rust wise or something?
@@inverted311 Jeeps of that era had pretty thin sheet metal and were prone to rust. My parent's 1985 Jeep grand Wagoneer rusted out and so did my neighbour's 1977 Jeep CJ7.
45:03 is the best part of the parade
Love the work you do with heavier duty trucks like the tow truck and now this rollback, maybe you’ll have to buy a dump truck to complete the fleet.
I love your videos, thank you!
Awesome to hear that and appreciate you tuning in. Thank you!
Marching band was a great 4 years of my life. Best thing about high school. And congratulations on the new little baby coming soon.
Chris, as far as I’m concerned you’re the best mechanic I’ve seen on Utube! You know all the tricks on repair! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻💯💯💯💯💯💯
I really like your videos. I like the jump cuts to other stuff. Town stuff and odds and ends. Keep up the great work!
Glad you like them!
My first car was a 78 cj7. To remove the roof like a pro, put some ramps off the back door. Crawl into the back, find the rough center and stand up. The roof will balance on you back and then just walk down yhe ramps.
Yep, the old turtle method. Helps if you don't have a back seat
Hey Chris THOSE Denman GROUND HAWG TIRES ARE RARE & AWESOME! THAT CJ-7 IS WORTH RESTORING!
Bro has the Sickest Mullet Ever!!
That's what I thought too. 40 years out of date....🤪👌
Edit: I had one 40 years ago ..... 😅
@@Lookup2Wakeupnaw, right on time. They’re back big time
22:30
Gus steels the show again, glad he’s feeling better. Another great video Chris, loved it.
Also, the bed should have a spot that doesn't actually move for the wiring, run the bed and see what part doesn't move, I can go look at my rollback and see exactly what they do. Your bed doesn't sit down all the way cause the bed locks are bent from ppl raising before sliding it back far enough to clear the locks
Only with a NNKH vlog do you get to see a classic Jeep and Mr. Gus but a marching band and the end. Great video. Thanks.
Back when Jeeps had some character. Not the current $100k garage princesses.
Ugh, right? My boss in addition to one of my coworkers had 2019-ish era Rubicons that I'm sure were like $40,000 off the showroom floor. They then dumped at least another $25k each on aftermarket parts, lift kits, hideous wheels, winches, etc. Time spent on any road surface rougher than the gravel parking lot at the weekly farmers market? Zero. So effing ridiculous. I have an 01 TJ 4.0 that I daily drive, absolutely no hesitation at getting her muddy. Oh yeah - $5,000 hahaha.
I think the new ones still have built in character, but most owners do not use them off road... Rubicons and modified Wranglers are definitely no exception, I think most people just buy them because they look cool. Oh well... in the future when these Jeeps are affordable parts will be plentiful.
I don't know where you got your skills,training or whatever but you have to be the best machanic on you-tube!
Let's ALL assist in enhancing his RUclips algorithm, like I'm subscribing, viewing, liking, sharing and commenting from Quakertown, Pennsylvania, USA.
Thanks! Greatly appreciate the support
Can't watch it now 'cause I'm stuck at work. But thanks for giving me something to do on a Friday evening. Gonna make popcorn.
Can't thank you enough for tuning in this evening! Enjoy the rest of your day
i'll just say that my cousin had a cj5 with the 304 and he put side pipes on it. the sound was amazing.
Congrats Chris!!!! Your life is getting ready to change in a major way!
Chris is definitely one of the best in the business!👍🏾👋🏾💪🏾
CONGRATS to you and Jen and little miss to come
Er... I just watchedJen's video... CONGRATULATIONS!!! I noticed for a long time, that you were both missing something from your lives... and I wasnt thinking of some extreme type of rust bucket...🙂 Now... you will have to have a NNKH 3 channel so we can stay on top of latest news... 🙂 Again..congratulations and I'm so happy for both of you!
WOW.... old school GROUND HAWG TIRES... and they look new...awesome!
I Love JEEPS! Any video with Gus and a Jeep revival is awesome!
Отличная подвеска! Красивый выхлоп! Классное, Интересное получилось видео! Мне очень понравилось! Круто Круто!!!👍👍👍
Congratulations on your upcoming fatherhood! Great news. I am sure you will be a brilliant father just as you are with your “ collected treasures”!
Nice job on the roll back Chris, gotta love the rumble of the exhaust!
Love the show, real Americana and the cars, trucks , animals all good.
The rollback sounds awesome.👍
Im still driving my 4 X 4 Opel frontera 1995 ...heavy duty and off road job ...!
Gotta love that jersey weather!!! Just ask Gus. I like them badges of that time.coolness Chris.
Old Jeeps are wicked fun. Crazy ballsy to take the top off solo. I've never tried that with my CJ5. Not eough people run their Jeeps T.O.N.D. (top off, no doors) much less with the windshield folded down. Good to see you treating it right!
Hey Chris, congratulations to you and Jen for the pregnancy, I'm really happy for you guys, it surely is gonna be something to see a lil one join the NNKH family, great great news!
From what I seen with tilt beds is a coil of wire held to the bed with a large spring with a sleeve on the wire that the spring attaches to. I don’t see why yours won’t work maybe just attach a spring to hold it up out of the way. awesome video as always!
Gosh Chris, watching you with that top makes me think back to when I was younger and not broken and could one person K5 tops off without thinking about... gosh, where have the years gone
That stiff turning is probably the wheel joints, the u-joints located right by the wheels. I’ve owned some junk and that was pretty common. Easy way to test it is lock the manual hub with the jeep in the air then try to spin the tire with the vehicle turned all the way one way or the other. If it spins fine unlocked but only moves a few inches before it stops locked its that u-joint
had a 76 cj7 304 3 speed in highschool, it was completely rusted out too
You should put that 304 in the other Jeep. Those 304’s are stout. My mom had one in a ‘74 Gremlin X with a Hurst four speed, factory headers, 4bbl, positraction. It hauled ass.
I think Gus should have been called Turbo, lol. Speedy little fella! Nice work Chris, good video
Great video maaan!! As always there’s no lack of motivation 💪🏼
45:50 Turbo looks more like turbo lag..!😂. Who doesn’t love a chill day turbo❤!!! I wonder what the big news could be…😮
You sure are lucky to have Jen
Teenage dirt bag rendition is echo in toilet & our empty heads
@@benwinter2420 Clearly some don't know what they're missing
Nothing to worry about with that rusty frame. I used to take a framing hammer with when I bought them. Knock a hole in the frame to show the seller how bad it is. Usually it’s just the inside of the boxed frame. Fix it a few different ways. Couple pieces of Angle or cut plate. A lot of times I’d raise body mounts while doing that. 🤷🏼♂️ IDK. I’LL TAKE ALL THE CJ’s WITH RUSTY FRAMES YA GOT!!!!
I love the rollback. It's such a sweet rig and totally useful.
I expected you to jump up and yell Ice Cream! When I heard the ice cream van music. Lol🎉
Hahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahaaahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just love this channel ,you always find the right solution to fix yet another problem .Plus the added input from Jen and the Gus man ,greeting from the Scottish isles 👍👍
I believe 1980 was last year for 304 in CJ. But the 304/360/401 will bolt to the bell housing in any 258 six CJ. New engine mounts and your good.
I seen an old video of yours I searched for oil sending unit for my 2010 Silverado an you was showing how to replace it. Love your videos keep them coming I learn a lot buddy thanks.
Glad it helped and appreciate you tuning in!
That K30 sounds amazing brother. Hell of a job doing so. Keep up the great work and much love to ya from Maryland❤❤❤
CHRIS! Just saw Jens video! Congrats Bro!!! 👏 You guys are gonna make awesome parents!!
Thanks man!
Nice video as always! Jeep will be great off road as is. Rollback is shaping up nicely, love the stack also.
Dang that would suck if that rig gets parted ,,even rusty. It would be a awesome trail rig !! 😂 i had a junky 304 3spd Laredo, it was great on the trails
WOW man, I just stared at that for 15 minutes before I hit play... everybody wanted that Jeep with a mother hunching V8 and you got that baby going with your normal cautious attack and WAMMO...dig that steering, dude was going off road more than on roading.... good to see you again, my friend Woody
Man, you and Jen make the best videos. I really enjoy watching them from beginning to end informational as well as funny as hell most of the time. Keep up the great work
Thanks for the kind words and greatly appreciate you tuning in!
I love a will it run. :)
Congratulations to you and Jen!
Congrats Chris!
Congratulations to you both on the great news.
Chris, Watching your videos are like spending a day with ya! Love what you’re doing. Thanks
Thank you for sharing! I am glad that the Jeep is going to be fixed up. Those old Jeeps with the 304 are perfect stock trail rigs. I love the Torino and I hope the new owner enjoys it as a daily driver, I love to see those cars on the road.
Great video, exhaust sounds amazing. Thank you for posting 😀
A shop tour video would be super cool if that’s something you’re into. You seem to have endless amounts of spare parts in there and it’s all well organized.
Awesome and outstanding content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Great vid! All sorts of fun tid-bits in there, although I am a little sad to see the Gran Torino Elite go away. But then - glad it is going to some folks who want to drive it, and give it new life. Cool upgrade on the big truck. And I loved seeing the Memorial Day parade. Especially the re-enactors / Colonial era soldiers. Perfect timing, since I am currently re-reading 1776 - this time on audio, in my truck. Anyway - ALWAYS great to see Chris & Jenn doing their thing! 2 great young Americans!
Sad to see the elite go. Such a sweet looking ride. But glad it went to a good home.
Chris and Jennifer you’re video always make me smile, thanks
Great way to end the week with a Chris video, your channel just keeps getting better and better buddy, have a great weekend !!!!!
Thank you so much for your content! Perfect for Friday evening viewing. Best channel on the Tube.
Thank you very much for tuning in! Wouldn't be able to do this kind of thing without you
Every time I see a school band I always think " This one time at Band Camp " 😂
22:29 Hey brother, nice to meet you.
Nice video 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks
The saddest part ... the Torino is gone :( Loved everything about that car. Your going to miss it!!!
Yeah, but now they have the Mustang!
@foxstrangler .... meh, ya ok. I like the Torino tho 😆
Great job Chris,Straight to the point like always.
Heck yeah. I like all the videos you put out. I learn something new every time. Keep up the great work
It amazes me every time I watch one of your videos as to the breath of your interests. Who would have thought you like parades. Your channels are so enjoyable to watch and you are one amazing mechanic. Thanks for sharing your interests with us and congrats to you and Jen.
Exhaust sounds awesome
Yes, congratulations to both of you on your great news..Your lives will never be the same!! Mark my words!!
He is one of the most smartest mechanic fiquiring out ways to fix stuff .. blows my mind. That’s why I wish I had a dad to show me ways to fix stuff he passed at an early age.
Was looking through market place the other day and was lime that jeep looks familiar.
had 78 concord 304 , that was an excellent one tire burn out car.
Man you a bringing back memories! I had a 79 Renegade with the 304 many, many, years ago.
To engage the 4wd easier, you let off the clutch slightly right at the engagement point to "rock"the jeep back and forth. 4wd will pop right in effortlessly!
Hey congratulations to you both on the baby News! So happy for you both!
Hey Chris ! Love your channel, it is my favorite Utube destination. Love your approach to the challenges that you encounter with your projects. Very excited for your news, a new little wrench turner will be a great addition! You and Jen will be awesome parents! Love your vacation videos too
So happy for you guys!!!
