  • @ford5.4l2v4
    @ford5.4l2v4 2 роки тому

    At least for first generation 1997-2002 Expeditions, the Ford procedure is to insert the screwdriver to the back of the slot and then twist the screwdriver 90-deg. The hook in the video looks exactly the same as the first gens, so I assume the 90-deg twist is correct for the later models as well. This pries both metal clips open, not just one side as the method in the video shows. I broke mine trying to pry as shown in the video.

    1) leaving that center post at the gate also helps camouflages as looking as part of the fence. 2) the brace you used at the 4x6 post should have been a steel cable, not wood (or a steel bar). Still a great gat setup if you can't afford a steel frame gate.

  • @pablopalacios5886
    @pablopalacios5886 2 роки тому

    Do you recall which aftermarket part number you installed? I noticed at 6:29 of the video that the clamp on the filter side of the hose is different before and after you installed the new air filter. Did you simply swap the clamp or did you purchase the wrong hose initially and had to buy a different one? The Honda OEM part number cross references with Dorman 696-159, but Dorman and all the local parts stores state that the right part for 2011-2014 Odysseys is Dorman 696-020. The hose prior to 6:29 of the video looks like Dorman 696-159 and appears to be Dorman 696-020 after that point. I'm just trying to make sure I buy the right part since I'm getting it from Amazon. Thanks!

    • @professionaldiy4122
      @professionaldiy4122 2 роки тому

      Same hose both before and after. Only difference was I initially went to reuse the factory clamp. It wouldn’t work with the Dorman 696-20, so I used the one supplied with the Dorman intake tube. Good eye! The 696-20 was the one I used. Still working great.

  • @MrCbell57
    @MrCbell57 2 роки тому

    Great job. I think over time these would sag based on the one support diag boards. And the fact that these sections were not meant to ever be a load bearing gate. The ends crack, split and fail. Fixed with but two screws (no matter how many screws)and very long expanse which means holding up a ton of weight. It won't matter. That board will warp. Break down and split and crack to where it won't keep holding year after year. Basically you would need (for longevity) a square tubing steel frame that the fence sections mount to with steel diag structure included. 1" or 2" square tubing. I think the hinges are fine and will hold even a heavier gate. The problem with long expanses of constructed fence is that its not really designed to hold its on self up. Meaning it was not a gate nor was intended to be one. Not structured to become one either. Turning fence sections into gates changes the game for sure and no matter how much structure you have in the way of lumber, over time it gives up its tensile strength and breaks down due to weather. It also will warp badly if left open or unfastened. Due to the long expanse with nothing holding it vertically ridged. . I think double gates always need double cross support diagonally and that needs to always be metal. Even encased in corner brackets and cable the wood gives up its strength over time and no matter the design, it will succumb to weakness and rot. Over all a great quick fix and unique set up for sure. And good for a few seasons. Well worth the effort. I give it five years max. Still over all a great job and great video.

    • @professionaldiy4122
      @professionaldiy4122 2 роки тому

      So far there has been little deformation in nearly two years. I did however plan for this to not last a eternity. I agree that if building from scratch a metal frame and hinges that take grease would be the best solution to combat the ability to cary the vertical load and exterior conditions. With the picket boards on the outside acting as a anti racking aid for the framing and the fact it is only opened once or twice a week, I would hope to see a minimum of the 5 years you are predicting. I had a 10 year or less plan to remove and build a storage garage in that area. I appreciate your input and time writing the suggestions! 🍻

      We are located the USA. You can do it, if you have a existing fence and access to the tools. It really wasn’t to difficult. It took a afternoon to complete. The hinge quantity could be more or less depending on the weight of your local lumber, you will have to estimate based on your local lumber and fence construction. I would recommend building in a 20% safety (taking the total estimated weight and add 20% to get your actual estimated working weight.) Take that actual estimated working weight and use it to determine the number of hinges required for each side.
