Father Son Garage is about the things we get up to in the garage as Father, son and grandsons. Our projects over the last few years have been jeeps and trucks and a little about RV's. It's about passing along generations of life experience to those that come after us. Join us and see what sort of trouble we get up to and if you have something you think we should try, let us know! We're always looking for more things to do at the garage.
Full night of northern lights on May 10th, 2024
Last night I set up my Afidus camera with a 2 second timelapse interval and was able to capture the whole night from a little after 10 pm through dawn. The lapse was sped up by 4x to create a 5 minute capture of the night. It's worth watching the whole thing, there are some great colour flare ups. The photos were taken a little north of Kingston, ON, Canada on May 10th, 2024

92 Jeep YJ Restoration and Build - Getting back to it!
Переглядів 5022 роки тому
This jeep got started a year and a half ago and for different reasons sat for while before we could get back to it. The first time around the frame had gotten a scuff and paint and it had started to rust again so we decided to pull everything back off and get it blasted. This video shows what we did.
1981 CJ7 Project Takeover!
Переглядів 3922 роки тому
I found this CJ in one of my daily (sometimes more) trolling of Marketplace. It's a great looking jeep that's already mostly done. It needs to have the engine finished up, the roll bars back in, and some cosmetic things finished. I'm also going to swap out a couple of things I don't really like on it but overall it's a great find!
5th Wheel Camper Renovation - Part 1
Переглядів 903 роки тому
We recently decided to sell our 2018 5th wheel that seemed to always have troubles and instead bought a 2010 that was built with a much better attention to construction quality. In this video we do most of the interior renovation work to the main room and bunk room. Then we went camping. Next spring we'll tackle the rest of it and get it finished up. hope you like it!

This project is the most complete restoration of a Jeep that I've done yet. It took about a year to do it and included a full disassembly right to the frame which got sandblasted. Then I slowly put it all back together. Here's what we did to it: - Frame sandblasted, painted inside then rust encapsulated and frame painted outside - All fluids jeep wide replaced - All new brake lines, master cyli...
Installing rearview mirror dashcam on 2017-2020 F250 (detailed)
Переглядів 7 тис.3 роки тому
In this video I install a rear view mirror style dashcam with both a front facing camera in the mirror and a second camera facing to the rear that I use for my 5th wheel hitch. it's a great alternative to the factory CHMSL (Center high mount stop light) camera that some trucks have. The video is longer and slower but is detailed so that you can follow it do do your own install. The trim kit I u...
77 Jeep CJ7 Restoration - Raptor liner sprayed in my fiberglass tub

After trying a few brands for doing the inside and underside of tubs, I've decided to try Raptor liner. I like the way it's packaged in separate bottles and I was very pleased with the results!
DIY dual pod light brackets for 2017-19 F250 F350 in 1 minute!

I built these dual pod light brackets to replace the factory halogen fog lights on my 2017 F250 XLT. I had upgraded my headlights to LED but the fog lights were still the halogen yellow color. Any single bolt pod light off Amazon should fit this bracket.
Building a spare parts Jib Crane/Gantry for my garage
Переглядів 25 тис.3 роки тому
I needed a way to hold my 77 CJ7 jeep tub up and able to adjust while putting it back on the frame and though I had an engine crane, it just wasn't what I needed. I've got a few more projects coming so I hunted around a little and found the parts needed to make a small Jib crane that anyone could build in their own garage with mostly basic parts and tools.

2015-18 Ford F150 trailer tow mirror marker lamp replacement
Any updates? How does the paint hold up?
You should of showed them at night and the led color
Great video - thanks very much - this helped me do this on my 2018 F150 Lariat with the tow mirrors. Note that mine had five 7mm screws instead of 8mm referenced in yours, but the T10 was accurate.
Tire's size?
33's on that one I think..
Thank you
3 years in....any leaking issues?
I don't have the truck anymore but i never had any issues with leaks. I had it for about a year after i did this.
I appreciate videos like these! Thank you so much for posting this!
Glad you like them!
Great video. I measured a factory sunroof with clearance light 2022 f250 platinum. The lights sit 6 3/8” back from the top of the windshield. Hope this helps in the future
super what about the wheels are they M/T classıc 3 ?
They are procomp rims actually, sorry for the delay on the response!
Just an fyi, I drill and add cameras and all sorts of stuff to transit vans for a living. Take a piece of metal tubing and cut it to a length just shorter than your drill bit and it will stop the bit from going too deep. Just make sure the metal tube wont scuff any paint that will be seen
Very nice. I would have done a front shackle reversal, moving them to the back of the springs for a better ride. But it came.out damned nice.
Anyone tried these lights on a 2022 ? I can’t find the truck wiring to connect the lights to. Checked both a pillars.
I'm having trouble getting the wires to de-pin with the tool. It's a bit difficult to tell on the video exactly where the tool is being inserted. Any recommendations?
Can I use one of the OEM switches on the ceiling to turn them on/off? Would be easier to connect the wires?
I’m looking at this three years later. Any issues? Leaks? Regrets?
Are they on with daytime running?
Yep, they are :)
How many ounces of paint did your pour before adding lacquer thinner i started brushing my engine not liking how it looked glad i stop before i use too much
nice build! do you have link to the swivel hinge used? You gave some good ideas for my custom location for mine.
Thanks! No link sorry.. don't remember where I got it but look up long leaf hinge on amazon and you should find it, i found a couple like it. Good luck!
Nice job. I wish the tool wasn’t so darn expensive!
Hi, I like your content. Do you accept sponsored products?
Thanks! I've started to accept a few things. I'm in the middle of building a bigger shop so I'll have new content coming out soon but most of my builds are older jeeps. Let me know what you have in mind! Cheers!
@@FatherSonGarage Do you have an email address or Instagram account? We could further conversation there.

@@FatherSonGarage ok.
Do you have an email address or Instagram account?
Did you have problems with them not working when the truck is running? Mine work perfectly until the truck is running. they light up in a flashing pattern then go solid but only when it’s not running.
Never had any issues.. sounds like you may have tapped into an incorrect wire though...
I’m running into the same problem. Did you find a fix?
I have same problem any fix?
@@SpeedDemonATX more than likely your truck originally had halogen headlights, is that right? If so, a lot of the competitions lights won't work. Ours will though!
Can you please share the complete part number for this with the wiring harness? Thanks
I don't have a part number sorry.. you can get the light kit from recon, i just made the rest of it :)
@@FatherSonGarage ok thanks
Great video and you did an excellent job sir! Cool looking pickup truck! Thanks
Thanks 👍
Nice thanks I just bought some for my CJ7
great!
What was the grey paint you brushed on and what was the final paint used? Looks great btw!
that was an eastwood product.. it's called rust encapsulator platinum, I've been very happy with it!
What a scary installation drilling 100K truck.
Excellent job!!! it amazes me how you can tear the whole thing apart and then remember how to put it back together. I could never do that.
Ever had any condensation issues ?
nope, not before I sold the truck anyway!
I want to buy them for my excursion but I don’t have pre existing can lights? How do I get the plug installed to have lights installed?
you can really just wire them into any marker light harness or wire. You'll have to see what wires are there for your excursion and tap into them, there's no plug that I'm aware of!
So do you have any problems now? How’s the camera holding up and how’s the seal around the third brake light doing
I don't have the truck anymore but i never had any trouble with it!
You paid 100k for a truck and did not get cab lights? BAHAHAHA!!!
Happens when you buy it off the lot.. they would have installed them for me but cost me less to do it myself :)
Where did you get the plug for the wiring harness to plug into the truck
I didn't use a ford plug, I used a couple of electrical connectors that I modified. Anything that's snug will work really, and a little tape to hold it doesn't hurt either!
Music too loud pls; thx for the vid!
Fabulous! My 81 cj5 is silver with blue renegade {originally a dark maroon}. And thanks for reminding me I need to install steering box brace!
I'd love these on my truck but thats a TON of work. Other than looks why?
Clearance lights help identify the edges of larger vehicles to help others see you at night and also to help you know your own vehicle dimensions while you try to fit into or around things.. like fitting in a parking garage etc..
Congratulations on the video, it was very good, I live in Brazil, this panel that is above the black manure is easy to find there for purchase and shipping to Brazil
Damn I need that tapping part on video
Beautiful job!
Super job!
Fantastic job!
what distance did you end up going with on the outside lights 5” or 6”?
I have to admit i don't even remember anymore! I traded the truck a while back so i can't even check.. but I THINK it was 6".. best to measure yourself now!
My 20 platinum tremor is about to get those hook ups but by professional. the drilling scares me
I installed mine on February first of this year. They’re magically toast as of a few days ago. Sucks these lights only come with a 90 day warranty. No leaking or anything, they just went out.
Did mines on 7/15/2023, for the ones that are still wanting to install and want a close update. Going back 6.75 is perfect. Enough to avoid the aluminum bar for trucks with sunroof. Also they ask for middle ones to be gapped at 7 inches from the middle one. I notice that on f250s that come with them they have em much closer rather than the 7inches. One thing i would do if i was to help a buddy out with their truck is give it a gap of 6.25 inch insead if the 7 inch gap so it can look more like oem. Idk why they put 7 inch gap. They def need to update their dimension paper
I measured a factory one and the three center ones were 7" center to center on the mounting bolts
See, 7inch center to center sounds a whole lot better & much like OEM, i wish i would of measured OEM 3 middles ones first. The drawing RECON gives you shows 7inch gap im between them, not center to center. Which sucks because now i can see a big difference when looking at my 3 middles ones & OEM ones. Is now been 7 months and i still cant go to sleep happy. Im thinking of fixing that soon just because it bothers me so much.
What color did you paint the gray hub body assembly?
I used an Eastwood aluminum aerosol can. Cheers!
Great video well explained . Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Does this fit on the 2018 f150?
Yep, it will fit on any car, you just have to choose where to mount the rear camera. Good luck!
Great video. Are you still happy with them or do you wish you wouldn't have done them?
Hello, I no longer have the truck but I was always happy I had done it. I have a different truck now that also doesn't have them and I'm planning to add them soon. Cheers!
@@FatherSonGarage thanks for the response. Good luck with the new one.
And I’ll still be able to use my oem button still correct?
The lights are wired into your parking lights. They'll go on when you turn on the lights :)
Where did you get these mirrors from?
Hello, they were on the truck, i was just repairing them. But you can find them on ebay :)
