That neighbor was a true inspiration. He doesn't quit when it gets hard and he isn't afraid to get out of his comfort zone. I wish more people were like him.
Sport Chalet license plate frame... I was the operations analyst for the company. It was an amazing place to work with amazing people that worked there.
It's always a blast seeing people help each other out during uncertain times especially when its about wrenching ! Love the video jason , we need more people like you around the world maybe we wouldnt have the issues we do . enjoyed every second !!
There is a documentary called Losing the way on Amazon prime about a couple who drove that trail. Great job helping teach the next generation of DIYers. And don't worry 22 is a kid.
This was a great video! My brother was a mechanic who taught me a lot about working on my own cars. Recently I’ve met some younger (than me, I’m only 30) guys who are into cars but don’t know how to work on them and I’ve been teaching them the basics. How to change oil, change a flat tire, things like that. In fact just this morning I sent one of them your quarantine battery maintenance video because he called me with a dead battery 😆. It is a much more rewarding experience than I thought seeing a young person go from being intimidated about anything on their car to being confident in their abilities to do their own work. Plus it’s awesome not having to do it myself! 😆 Keep up the great work and videos Jason!
Step 1: Pack up Jeep Step 2: Drive to California Step 3: Park in Autoedits cul de sac Step 4: Sleep in back of Jeep for 2 weeks Step 5: Become a “neighbor” of Autoedits Step 6: Get free help on Jeep build In all seriousness, this is awesome. You always pay it forward and you are genuine. I love your channel!
I'd watch it. He reminds me of my best friend, when I was his age. Great memories. I'd love to see his backpacking and off-road adventures. He's going to have a lot of them!
Very cool Jason! I was in high school back in the late 70's & early 80's when my Dad's regular mechanic would let me go to his garage to work on Dad's 1973 Dodge Power Wagon 3/4 ton 4X4. Getty would watch over my should just like you did with Garret. I admire Garret for following through with his actual hikes. I graduated there in So Cal (WCHS class of 81), and in my senior year I read the book "A Walk Across America" by Peter Jenkins. In the mid 70's, Peter started from his home in upstate New York and walked all the way to New Orleans, LA. Where he met and fell in love with his wife, Barbara. Peter's 2nd book was "The Walk West" as he and Barbara walked from New Orleans to New Port Beach, OR. Their 3rd and final book was titled, "The Road Unseen" Their story inspired me to check out America before writing it off and turning my back on Her. Well I didn't hike America like Peter or Garrett; however, I did drive all over America and got to know Her better than what I saw on TV. I joined the US Air Force and proudly served our great county and am still very proud to be one of Her sons. Your story has reminded me of some great men who tutored and mentored me. Your teaching will help Garret be open to more and new teachings. Great job to you both! PS: Would have liked to have seen some side by side comparisons of the old parts compared with the upgraded newer parts.
Love your channel so much, and I appreciate all the little tips and tricks you pass along. I think it really shows how selfless of a person you are in this video, as does your other videos! I can’t wait until I can rebuild a muscle car someday. Keep going! Have you ever considered a Patreon?
This means a ton to me to hear. It's not selfless, just me trying to do some good where I can but I appreciate the thought. I'm not confident enough to straight up ask for money on patreon. I would love to be able to make it here on UA-cam but it's just not happening and as a matter of fact... I'm going backward on revenue lately so it hurts even worse right now.
That body style is the very best Toyota produced, imo. Wanted to add that acetone works way more betterer than brake cleaner, in my experience. Usually cheaper and way healthier, too.
Great tip! I come from an aerospace background and acetone was the go to solvent in that world. That would be a cost effective alternative but the convenience of the Lucas brake clean is nice.
Very cool of you to teach the youngster some new mechanical skills!!! It looks like the truck also is in need of an all around shock replacement? Jason, what Hi-Tec's are those? They look like good durable shoes. Not beer label... classic label system, LOL.
Thanks! That truck does need shocks... they are spent. Those boots were on sale at my local big5 and are the 9531 model... don't remember the name. Remember, don't drink if it says "not beer"!
Great video, and showing a " kid " basic safety and automotive repairs., awesome. Is that a 64 Corvette parked on the side of your house, let's see it!
You’re definitely an awesome neighbor. I’d enlist your help too if I could ;-) as I’m also mechanically challenged. I’m a great assistant and camera slinger if need be 🤣
@@AutoEdits Here is a thread about how to do it. You basically just need new front brake lines, tundra rotors and trundra 13WL calipers. the rest is just trimming the dust shield. www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tacoma-231mm-tundra-brake-upgrade-looking-for-some-advice.519578/
Super cool, it was nice to see someone with such a positive attitude whose had so many experiences at a young age! By the way, was he the "kid" down the street who said he wanted to drink your Lucas cleaner because it smelled so good?
HA! I mean it when I say he's a good kid... legit. The kids that live next door to him are my "helpers" and the one's that love the Lucas stuff as much as me.
That was awfully cool of you Jeepin Jason! So what happened here, did you do trade Pinto for Garret? Seriously though, you did a great job teaching, and he was an eager learner. I see a series coming up on the TRD. And to Garret, well done on the hike! Not something a lot of 18 year olds would tackle all alone these days.
Right! I mean it when I say it inspired me that he pushed through to accomplish all that. I never would be able to do those trails on foot... nor want to!
I'm not sure what those are but I've been very happy with my PowerStop Z36 ... plus they were very very cool to donate a kit for this video. I appreciate the suggestion though.
I don't like that year. The 3.8 engine and some of the wiring harness hadn't been sorted out yet for the JK's. As long as you are ready for some challenges there and get it for the right price... it's a great platform.
Same here man, I fly RC planes also, I use to have a p51 bluenose which i crashes couple years ago, now I have a spitfire and a carbon cub along with a piper cub. I love your channel with the Cars and the Jeep, I use to own a 1995 Jeep Wrangler. Looking into the new gladiator at the moment...
We inherited it from my father in law. It's a very high mileage survivor... which makes it difficult to do anything to it other than just drive it once in a while.
AutoEdits amazon isn’t taking phone calls right now SMH. But it said it shipped one day and the next it was undeliverable! Waiting for credit and will try again.
@@swarbrickjesse I had Amazon do that for some Audio Visual equipment that I had purchased, kept pushing the date back further and further, finally I said enough and cancelled the order and bought the parts locally. Sounds like it was due to the current events taking place right now.
What is with the all caps? Why are you yelling? Like I mentioned in the video and several other people commented already (WITHOUT SCREAMING) trucks of this age in rough weather or salted roads have a lot of rust and corrosion underneath. Please calm down.
I feel like I know this kid's dad; but, I'm not sure. Dad is a mechanic ✓. Does some crazy type hiking ✓. Lives in Canyon Country ✓. Has a son in that age group ✓. Kid that's not going to college ✓. I know it's a small world. I just wonder. I'm taking a picture of his triple crown and texting it to my buddy. I'm thinking he at least knows him. It'd be crazy if it is his son.
@@AutoEdits Talked to my buddy. He thinks his son knows him. My buddy says Garret is a total badass. Should probably be an Olympic Athlete. Very impressive young man.
really disappointed how you bounce around on so many different vehicles and not enough updates or videos on large marge. need more large marge videos and updates.
I'm bummed that you are disappointed by the channel... if I could, I'd make content all the time but it's difficult. I took a moment and looked around your channel and see a very long term Mustang project as well. Would hope for more compassion from a fellow home builder. I don't make a living from this channel and it takes me way too long to make videos so the ratio puts permanently behind. Add to that a broken brain and the struggle with depression that I share here once in a while... I can only do my best. And I'll keep trying to make everyone "happy enough".
@@AutoEdits i love your large marge build, im just saying you spend too much time on jeep videos and not enough on marge, i have a 73 sportsroof as well im restoring along with the 65 fastback, taking tens years for my 65 mustang restoration, but with being stuck in my garage now under quarantine she will be done soon. im way over due on posting a video on my build so i reall shouldnt complain about you, butn m not posting other videos either, im focused on one build at a time. thank you for your you tube channel, dont get me wrong.
@Autoedits Jason, You can please some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all of the time. I follow you and your channel mainly for the Jeep videos, however I also enjoy all the other content. You never know when a video about one vehicle might translate to another. Keep up the great work on all the builds. Your core fans are here for you as you are here for us.
@@AutoEdits appreciate your honesty here! Again you're a great authentic guy with real life problems. UA-cam isn't worth sacrificing health and life for. Keep on the great quality of your videos.
Let’s see the Tacoma Build... Lift, tires, etc
I'd love to... let's see if I can catch up on some of my own things for now!
You stop using your Ram truck? You stop sharing movies about it!?? AutoEdits

Thats awesome, its nice to meet a fellow people person, keep up the great work man.
Hey, thanks a TON!
Look at Jason taking “movie” extras and casting them in a starring role.
Well, technically I'm the movie extra...LOL I did like sharing his story because it inspired me.
AutoEdits nothing wrong with that. We all know the cars take center stage.

I wish I had a neighbor like you lol my neighbor hates me and I’m sure he’s tried to summon some Vicious voodo on me 🤣🤘, great video
Oh no! Watch out for that!

Lol, That kid was cool tell him to start a UA-cam channel on working on his Toyota and we'll all subscribe

That was so good!! Thanks!
I haven't even made it 2 minutes in, and I love the concept of this video!
Thanks so much!
Please do a whole series on upgrading this truck to a full offroader those trucks are such great machines!
It is such a great truck... if I can catch up a bit I'll see if we can do a bit more on it!
Jason you are such a nice guy!
I'm not sure about that but I will spend the rest of my life trying to be.
Damn man I need neighbors like you ! Not free stuff but for knowledge and someone to relate to !
HA! but then you'd have a bunch of junky cars parked around and random amounts of noisy projects. But a good place to hang out.

Looks like a stock version of my truck haha! Even the same color and year!
Very cool!
It’s hard to believe Someone that keeps their vehicles so nice and clean would have such an octopus of power cords out of that outlet.
There's only two... octopus is eight... LOL
i need to do that upgrade to my tacoma too
I can highly recommend it!
When are you going to tell us about the Vette?
I can do a walk around on that... I'll put it on the short list!
For you’re next brake job use Dynamic Friction Brakes!
I'm not sure what those are but I've been very happy with my PowerStop Z36 ... plus they were very very cool to donate a kit for this video. I appreciate the suggestion though.
AutoEdits www.dynamicfriction.com
I went and looked at their site and that stuff looks pretty good... and they are local to me in Southern California! Cool discovery, thanks.
AutoEdits when you’re ready for another Brake job LMK. We have a specialty 4WD low Speed rock crawler friction formula aimed squarely at that niche!
There is a jeep 2008 with 95k on it extremely clean is this a good entry car in jeep world to modify it?
I don't like that year. The 3.8 engine and some of the wiring harness hadn't been sorted out yet for the JK's. As long as you are ready for some challenges there and get it for the right price... it's a great platform.
You could clean with hot water just works fine
Not sure that's a good option for me.
great video!!!!!!!!! now lets lift and put some big tires on that taco and take him off roading!!!!!
That's the plan!
Sorry, I’m late to the party but more of this. You can call it the “See One, Do one, Teach One” series.

Hey Jesyon, do you fly Rc planes? I notice you have have a P51 Mustang hanging from the ceiling in the garage..
I used to! I'm a life long RC dork (cars/planes/heli) and that plane was just my last one and represents my favorite plane ever.

So what's the deal/story with the Stingray?
We inherited it from my father in law. It's a very high mileage survivor... which makes it difficult to do anything to it other than just drive it once in a while.

Nope. We did notice the rear drums had a bit but the fronts are really awesome.
