Just an active-duty military dad doing things I think are interesting every once in a while. I focus on automotive repair since I was a professional mechanic for a few years in a past life and on RV tips/tricks/repair since we own a used RV that breaks a lot. I will also post and comment on some U.S. Military stock footage that I find interesting.

Patch with fix it
Can’t patch a side wall or the actual tread part if it’s too close to the sidewall!
get a jeep not a chrysler knockoff
Home Depot parking lot
That was definitely on purpose
It’s not that hard just silicone off the boot then it’s brand new
They yell at the missile the way i yell a pot of water to get it to boil. Works every time
What's all the yelling about at the end?
@@topspeed250k5 they yelled as they tested the locking mechanism. It is so a pilot can hear.
we have mini s , r 52 s hever have problem s with them , high miles 150 plus just keep a check weekly , had 5 years
@@mikebrickwork2407 he wants to rebuild the engine while it’s still running good but for now it’s a great commuter.
Brave purchase
What is your son's youtube channel to follow this?

Jesus, this thing is a POS. Why would you buy it? I love mini coopers, but they don't seem like good used cars.

Wow. Getting it up there was worth watching. Great job.
自動車に対して高圧洗浄機とエアーコンプレッサーは使わない方が良いと思う
I love how everyone hears them yelling and thinks its like a tradition.. he yells forward, they push forward(making sure its locked in) then aft, and pull backwards checking the same. Ensuring if 3 men cant rip it off by hand, it should survive flight.
Calling an entire missile a warhead is wild lol
Wouldn’t wanna trip and tink the lil booger would we? 😂
"STUPIDITY"😂😢
Durango and Dakota transmissions SUCK ASS
Change your tranny fluid NOW
Great mix of modern and antiquated.
Think maybe renting a truck for a day might be a little less expensive than a transmission rebuild or replace
Sick ass dodge lol
Get a bigger transmission cooler dummy
Bad planning not bad luck. The Durango not being able to handle the load was a known fact.
Should’ve just rented a truck or van from Home Depot bro would’ve cost you a hundred bucks and you would still have your Durango for buzzin around town
Looks like you changed your vehicle out to a dodge pickup truck
So you didn’t fix the problem and yet you wanna go on a 6hr joyride?!?!?! Seems your chromosome was at the bottom of the barrel.
I noticed you did what anyone with a brain would have done. You stopped and bought a truck 😂😂😂
@@sinner-saint361 rented the truck but yeah…
Why would you do something you knew was gonna be bad . Its like shooting yourself in the foot and expecting the second time would be better then the first. Did everyone in America become brain dead over night or is it me
Well at least you were at cracker barrel, that'd make any bad day better
You check the fluid level? That's not cool
At Cracker Barrel, it was hooked to a ton truck. Hmmmm
Towhaul
Towing a boat like that can kill someone. The strap in front is supposed to be under the winch, not over it, because if something happens, it will go over the top of the trailer, and into the vehicle pulling it.
Bad luck? Bro, you got a nice ass boat in a nice ass neighborhood you are lucky, bro.
People do such dumb ass shit for a video clip
Mite loop in a few trans coolers under truck with fans mite be cheaper than replacing trans idk
Ever thought about investing in a trans cooler? Just a thought.
Get a bigger truck or a smaller boat lol. Best of luck
Hook up your boat to the trailer the right way and you wouldn't have to tighten the straps
If towing this oversized boat overheated your transmission once, I hope you hade the common sense to put an external cooler inline (after) the radiator.
@@JamesStover-gr3hw it has an external cooler but it is over 220k miles and I think the torque converter may be going out. (I replaced it once 5 years ago)
Bad luck ❌ Stupidity ✅
Just because you can hook something to a vehicle, doesn't mean it can tow it. I saw an early 2000's vintage Blazer with a 26 foot travel trailer hooked to it. No weight distribution system or sway control. Looked like the rear of the Blazer was sitting on the axle. Dangerous for the people in the tow vehicle, even more dangerous for the other people on the same road. There is so much more to proper towing than hooking to the ball, connecting the chains, and connecting the lights. No sympathy when you're on the side of the road waiting to get towed to get that new transmission.
