  1. One can't agree more with @iAMunderSTEER other than to say it in my own Comment after giving 'under-steer' a 👍...:face-blue-smiling: I do wish to add how I am finding humor where it may not have been intended to be found... I can't be the only person who sees the genius in Chris almost like the 'Mad Scientist Inventor" character in the Back to the Future serial... "Hey Doc!" & "WT [H E🏒🏒] !" Well there's another 10 minutes to watch to the conclusion and it's just been great to sit here indoors and not be eaten up by mosquitos just now, BACK to the SHOW...:trophy-yellow-smiling:

  2. OMG..OODNESS.. Is there anything Chris doesn't have the "Know How" to get going?

  3. ...ain't that the truth🙂hey Pete was that you up river from our camp back in the early '80s? Edit: p.s. ....almost forgot to say, "I feel ya brother on the multi-stroke survival wherein I had hoped to get back more functionality but this second stroke* has cut my stanima to 30-40%. Fortunately I'm still moving around pretty well, best to you Pete. * four years between the two events.

  5. :person-turqouise-waving:Of course someone may already have asked what coolant* you use in the TUNDRA? If my lame memory serves me correctly without going out and popping the hood to see for sure, isn't it a specific coolant for TOYOTA TUNDRAS? Glad to see your garage is getting finished soon. Also my Jack-a-huahua gets so nervous at the dog park she actually starts to hyper salivate, so after three trys, we gave up on the socializing in the pen. *(besides lake/river water) :face-blue-wide-eyes:

  6. It's been 7+ months (July 25th '23) so what's going to be the interior work on the roof, fixed or left as is? You've mentioned PBG and the playing cards but how about make a collage of photos from the start to finish* from your adventure thus far including shots of the trip across the country? :body-blue-raised-arms: * never finished of course.

  7. You said it for us all.... I still roll back to VGG, JYD & PBG. My Favorites forever. There were a couple others I tried🤔but found those just couldn't make me feel as sanguine outside and in... not nearly as much as "Chris'Jen" do when they're :goodvibes:out and about...

  8. I just thought I'd put my worthless two cents in on the noise and the neighbors. To me a neighbor having use of their yard is part of living with neighbors. What makes the experience better is being friendly to a degree that says, we are sharing this time and if you are in need, you can call on me and if I can help, I'll do what I can. Block parties that are sans hard alcohol or just keep the alcohol out of the party and go '420' instead if that makes for a chill time for all. But when peeps today go inside all the day long and don't recognize that there are good people out there. Real people. That's sad, so sad :face-pink-tears: Get off the social virtual media once in a while. And when a neighbor is in need of sleep due to odd hours at work, try your best to understand and work around that issue best you can. If all neighbors could be socially connected there'd be much more benefit to dwelling in a city. :person-turqouise-waving:

  9. :yt:@6:51 (nice to have you ask out loud...kinda one of my pet peeves, I am way over it but I do wait patiently for someone to get it right, just once would lift my 💕). The 'Old School' moniker for those would be; "Wheel Covers" but they just got heaped into the vernacular of common speak for what today most peeps refer to as 'hub-caps' ...but you know a hub cap when you remove one and expose the hub-bearings.

  10. :person-turqouise-waving:Too many years ago to say when but a friend had two Chihuahuas (Mom & Son) that were sent Christmas packages. Under the tree until one day my friend at work came home to the two dogs on the couch shaking as they had chewed into one of the wrapped gifts and tore into the gift that was a 'Treat' container shaped like a dog sitting and the head tilted open to get at the treats stored inside. But the thing would 'BARK' while the lid was open, I guess to give the dog a 'heads up' literally, that it's time for a treat. So that's how my friend found the container on the floor still barking:face-fuchsia-tongue-out: and her pups on the couch in peril:hand-orange-covering-eyes:, or so they thought.:face-blue-wide-eyes:

  11. As always Chris, you produce compelling and entertaining content. The title of your channel couldn't have been better conceived IMHO. Props to you! To be sure I have to say, Jen is the 'icing on the cake' that compliments the foundation you lay for a delectable interlude to any day. REAR SEAT REMOVAL: I have wanted to do this too. For a guy with no use for seats in that space, I much rather have the extra couple of cubic feet of space to stow and carry items. Is there any chance one of your viewers has done this already, I bet yes. My 4.7L iForce 2UZ 2003 4 X 2 Tundra has near 165K on the clock, as far as I know has never been swimming, and the 'get up and go' when I ask for the beans to produce power to the rear end... I sometimes feel as if my 0 to 60 mph is close to 8 or 9 seconds. Not that I have actually attempted to go all out. I'd rather have this engine last the rest of my days and beyond. My 'Baked AR' rips and shreds and I too have a load of items including spare tires a RYOBI Generator, a spare battery and a jump start battery w/air pump in the 6' box under the cover of a Workmate' aluminum 3 door cap. I also added the same AIRLFT air bags to the rear. I have and tow a small loaded mobile storage space within an enclosed 6' X 10' cargo trailer. Which btw is why I bought the truck in the first place, now some 3 years ago.

  12. Hmmm, how is it I started this video but paused it early into it not returning 'til now? :hand-orange-covering-eyes: Well I still don't recall the why but after the hood popped open in this go around I decided to pause and scroll thru the comments to find out if the car was taken back to be in our fabulous couple's collection. It appears not... and I just think that sucks. I don't know if Chris and Jen wanted to own this car since I haven't watched the epilog though the comment I read made it sound as if the old man/car dealer just used C & J and then wouldn't strike a deal to sell to them the car. :eyes-purple-crying: Although it needs to be kept in a dry and clean enviroment to be honest, C & J don't yet have such a place to keep this survivor. So I may not continue watching, my bad/loss. Many peeps liked the video not surprisingly as the pair are very good at producing entertaining and informative content. But for now I am a little disillusioned by the initial first contact with the grandson with what to me came off as almost a superior demeanor towards Chris and Jen. :glasses-purple-yellow-diamond:

I do believe this is put out sometime after you've put everything inside as you gave us a snippet when showing the light over not under due to the 'Air Boat' height... CONGRATS...

  14. :yt:@5:45:face-fuchsia-wide-eyes: Quarter Window... My family always referred to these as 'Wing Windows':eyes-pink-heart-shape: Edit: p.s. I had noticed an odd item under the bonnet on your Tundra and then today (in this video) you show a sundry of items kept/stowed in the cavernous engine bay. I have a 2003 4.7L V8 SR5 4X2 "Baked Alaska" plate in Arizona 'BAKTAK' (clearcoat is toast from 20 years baking in the desert out west) But the only extra item I have in the engine bay is a lamp (like the heat lamp in your coop) to ward off rodents. I also use mint oil spray weekly and I have a night prowling cat seen on my channel, (HairyH) Then there's the extension cord that also has plugged in to it a subsonic audio device that is supposed to bother vermin with their sensitive hearing. p.p.s. Also I have a defunct vanity plate on the front that reads, 'FOF150' ...due to FOMOCO and TOYOTA having been at loggerheads over design features which my friend brought to my attention as I had never noticed it until he said something...(faux F One 50)

TEE-SHIRTS: :eyes-pink-heart-shape: A Big Boy Suggestion; Actually a request. :face-red-heart-shape: Is it feasable, economically speaking, to have the Tees that are sized from XL and up to have a 'Vee-Neck' to make them more comfortable for Big Boys with the Big Neck? :body-blue-raised-arms: ( I end up modifying crew necks with pinking shears to accomadate my fat neck. )

  17. Less than 3 minutes in :body-green-covering-eyes:and I have to comment on how when I first became a fan, one of the things that impressed me was how you had such a variety of bits and fasteners on site, it seemed there wasn't anything you couldn't scrounge around... no you actually knew right where to look. The organization of drawers and stock really was impressive. ... then you just said literally '...hoarder:face-blue-smiling:' yea, that's true but in such a good way it has served you well. I believe when a Sears Store was closing you had a chance to just load up on a slew of bits and fasteners, what a being in the right place at the right time that turned out to be... Chris there is just so much that I/We find attractive about this channel and the content within, so let's dive into this amazing garage that DIYers around the YT World are no doubt green with envy over...:face-green-smiling: Okay I watched all the way up to the 1700 lb. hunk of metal and just seeing all that has been moved out of that decrepit old bldg. into the yard ... there is so much there that could keep you going for years, or so it seems... seriously I can't imagine in say ten years from now what your world with Jen, (Turbo and Gus if they still roam about) will look like:body-blue-raised-arms:I may not ever know as I'm in the last chapter of my days ...but I sure wish for you and Jen a full and loving relationship that takes you to the best possible world...:face-red-heart-shape:

  18. This 'Dinosaur' is so, and I mean SOOOO beautiful:face-red-heart-shape: I can't have any classic bargesque type vehicles... No Garage in the Arizona desert. Sans carport too!:face-pink-tears: The 'Greenies' are all feeling vindicated as the planet is spitting in the face of all the idiots blowing up dams and pipelines bc of the kindergarten argument, 'What's Mine Is Mine & What's Yous Is Mine' and as I am the bully with the biggest guns, I Win. :face-fuchsia-tongue-out: And here we're so concerned about emissions from the cleanest fossil burning combustion engines ever. It seems when what is spewed up into the atmosphere is written or spoken about, War and the fallout from the madness is never included. :body-blue-raised-arms:

DANGER at every turn. You are such a thrill seeker, but this was not what You signed up for... that dude needed to thank You for your service. (the offer of a brew at the end was his way, but so much better to just bid him well and head home) I can say I never was quite so physically fit and a bit out of my element when it came to sports and mechanical stuff. I think I enjoy your content bc you are everything I would have wanted to be at your time of life. Admittedly I did get myself into some sketchy predicuments. Including during my career as a tour bus operator. I drove tour coaches in San Fran before I had enough of professional driving* I managed to get a few buses stuck, three I recall famously, in precarious places. Now 65 and still alive; all I can say is you had a lucky charm on high that night which got you home safe, as did mine each time. *I drove tour coaches for the last twenty some years of driving for a pay check, but also a sundry of other vehicles of which some were sans passengers. Retired the CDL in 2014 Edit p.s. @29:05 Sage words. Chris, there was so much in this vid, I forgot to touch on this mindful thought so articulate and truthful. BTW have you heard, the Golden Gate Bridge is finally getting 'The Prevention Barrier' that most everyone never wanted? Except of course the surviving family and friends of those that left their life via the gate to H-E- double hockey sticks below. Peace Out Bro, and give Jen a big hug and smooch for all the boys out here that are still looking for their best friend and mate.:hand-purple-blue-peace:

So no clear coat remains on the hood and roof, I call her 'Baked Alaska' and also have a special front plate that reads, FOF150... she's a faux Ford F150 ask Toyota ...lol Nice find Chris... the Caddy, that's what I meant to say...

  30. A friend of mine had a similar vintage Econoline, also green, back in the mid eighties he drove back and forth for several months from Sacramento to San Francisco to a job in a high rise in the city where a contractor had guys removing asbestos... Crazy what you'll do when you need a job. I had forgot about that van until I read your comment. Now I'll have to ask my friend if he remembers the model year and there's no doubt he does...

  35. Where ever else will you find the host ride to a train station on an e-skateboard after delivering the vehicle to his friend/client? My other content fellers I dare say couldn't even quite honestly stand on a skateboard with the exception of one maybe two, that would be JD and possibly Briar. Luke is likely too tall and out of practice to attempt such a ride but he just might have been once into skate boarding. But Kevin, Dalton nor Derrick would nor should try to balance on a board. Well that tells you who I watch here on YouTube but I'd be remiss if I signed off without saying that NNKH and the ancillary channels associated with our top know how sans the nonsense miracle mechanic/engineer/all around best mate to Jen and his followers that, well Chris is just the best out of them all.

  37. I heard that she's gone total non fossil fuel everything and is still trying to get a spinning wheel and some sheep before winter sets in. She did get some hide from a road kill and she's at least DIY'd some sandals. She's hunkered down by the river so she'll have access to drinking water.

  39. I have to comment on the 'Fire Extinguisher' to be sure you understand how the retardent inside will cake. In the months and years of idle position the powder within cakes and then does not disperse well if at all when needed. Ergo it is important to monthly if not more often take said device and turn it upside down and knock it againt something stout. This will break up the cake and reduce it again to a loose powder. This technique I learned from being trained to drive school buses. During daily pretrip inspections we were told to perform the task of removing the extiguisher and giving it a turn upside down and a smack to the cylinder to be sure to loosen the retardent within. I still perform this technique every now and then again with my RV's extiguisher. So Chris if this is news to you I hope it has given new life to that sedentary extinguisher.

  42. Okay I'm going to go where so far no one else seems to have gone. What is it like living next door to an active You Tuber that is wrenching and sawing and running motors the diesel in particular, how tough is it to get a nap if you're retired living next door. Are ther codes in the neighborhood that restrict running a business out of your residence such as this has become? I say live and let live but there's a limit as to how much one should believe is appropriate in such tight confines as it appears the homes are situated on small narrow lots with your neighbor pretty much in your business even if they are not trying to so be as such, what choice do they have in this case?

  43. Hard to be sure but your aquatic fowl @52:10 appear to be Cormorants. Such species as these diving underwater avian are in Asia often tethered to a line where they are sent overboard to grab fish from below the surface which they must bring up to the surface where they then are brought back onto the boat and the person that is using this bird to swim for fish takes the prize from the cormorant and rewards it with a snack cut down to a managable size. Yeah, the bird can't swallow the fish it catches because of the collar restricting the esophagus opening in the cormorant's neck. Why this bird, you ask? Because being the cormorant has no oil glands unlike most water fowl they are able to dive under water witout the buoyancy issue of say a typical duck. This is why you'll see these birds often perched in the sun with their wings extended to get their flight feathers dry enough to assist in them getting lift to fly on to their next destination. Commonly seen in the Delaware river region in the winter south of their more northern breeding grounds/isles of Maine and Canada.

  47. Anyone mention how Ford had to pull a costly advertising campaign on the Areostar due to the similar shape of the Space Shuttle that tragically exploded 😢 after the launch in 1986? In the commercial Chris inserted i did see the quick snippet of the similarities but Ford had much more planned using the shuttle's aerodynamic nosefeature which the Areostar mimicked. An aquantance/employer i worked with one Christmas who had a contract to do the entire holiday decor for a fairly new San Francisco hotel (Parc 55) had the same color of Areostar which hauled many trees and such on tnat job. Oh the memories this channel invokes.❤
