A word about Craftsman Tools, I bought a set when I was sixteen years old and still use them today. Over the years I have replaced 1 broken ratchet (FREE) and 3 or 4 screwdrivers (abused by me and again for FREE). These tools got used and abused and are still going strong after over 54 years!!!
I have tons of harbor freight lights and I'm a full time mechanic I have the Braun ones you have 7 of them I have the 4 of the new 3in 1 Braun lights as well as 2 green and 2 red of the Braun pod lights as well as the Braun underhood light and the new icon Underhood light and the Milwaukee ratchets work well
Thank you for all the streamlined concluded tips on what is more important! I inherited historical tools & bridged the gap by purchasing adapters and what nots. I really miss my Dad & my Uncles. Those guys taught me automotive mechanics growing up. I have older tools that last forever! 👍
I only got to watch my dad growing up and now that I’m grown I noticed how sloppy he was hahaha. He tried and we got through so I can blame the guy. He’s now watching UA-cam too to learn how to fix things more properly and efficiently. Thanks for tuning in
thank u! , flicker on Braun light , check screw magnet on bottom, mine loosens. tighten and stop flicker. Also Makita 1/2 impact rules lug nuts always, Can also replace Lipo batteries to better in Braun lights . Keep filming!
Companion flang you showed at the end of the video is 87 foot pounds that the drive shaft connects to on the tranfercase its alot higher on the diff Pinion
Most things don't need a High torque impact you can do 90 percent with a mid torque or a stubby Compact impact wrench I would say a Small Hand full of times the high torque is needed
Very handy for shops with lifts. (Ground isn’t in the way). I find only the small ones are useful but not something I always use. I also have the 6 sided one so it’s a bit more difficult to get on there
@@PhoRunner half the time I'm doing work on the ground in the gravel only time it's easy is if I'm at one of my shops 99 percent of my house is Gravel so eh I tend to use them more even on my non lifted vehicles and they seem to work fine for me looks like you have a preference don't make it better or worse then my preference just different
I agree with your Tool List and I been using my craftsman set for 40 plus years now I use my Stubby impacts for things like the skid plates or get a 12v model
@@PhoRunner there well worth it for the stubby m12 even the dewalt Atomic 20 volt impact wrenches they are compact stubby in size are also worth it both get 90 percent of the vehicle done I do brakes and drive line all the time with them
This is a great list! Other than basic tools for my routine oil changes, I didn't have much at all until I started doing more DIY a couple of years ago, and thanks to your channel and several others, I have most of the tools you mentioned here, and they have come in really handy (it's nice to be able to just quickly grab them now). As others have mentioned, a torque wrench (a 3/8, maybe a 1/2, and on rare occasions, a 1/4). I also keep a couple of small tools in the car: a small ratcheting right-angle screwdriver (Harbor Freight #92630) and a 1/4 in. tiny ratcheting wrench (the former for hard to reach repairs like the throttle position sensor and both of these tools for getting interior screws on/off in tight places like those on the doors, dash, fender flares, etc.). Thanks for more great suggestions. And as someone else said, if you haven't done so in a previous video, I'd be curious what tools you take for off-road adventures (do you take a Hi-Lift, RotopaX, just a few I'm considering).
The 6ton stands are worth it! I made the mistake of thinking I could get away with the 3ton stands for cheaper but it just wasn’t worth that risk. That extra $40 bucks at HF is worth working under your T4R another day.
i don't know if there's that much risk using the 3 tons. . 3 ton jacks will hold 6000 lbs, a 4runner weighs 3700 lbs. if you're using 4 jacks to lift the whole truck, u have 12000 lbs capacity for a 3700 lb truck. still went with the 6 ton jacks though. because of HEIGHT. they're much taller
@@PhoRunner thanks ! Also wondering what battery do you have lol because I want to do a full L.E.D conversion but I read about voltage going down a lot but I figured you have a lot of things wired up

I wouldn’t mind owning 7 of these flash lights lol
I would recommend 12 ton stands For the Height if your rig in lifted high with large tires upwards of 40 inches
That’s a good tip! Things get sketch at that height!
@@PhoRunner yep very sketch 12 ton stands alow for less extending on the stands makes them more stable and they stand wider as well
Make a video about tools you take when going offroad.
Hmm I’ll think about it! I carry so much like a hoarder though lol

Cool video
thanks dreamer
Great video, I would like to see a video (if you can) of tools to take out on a 1k trail run..
I’ll think about some stuff
thank u! , flicker on Braun light , check screw magnet on bottom, mine loosens. tighten and stop flicker. Also Makita 1/2 impact rules lug nuts always, Can also replace Lipo batteries to better in Braun lights . Keep filming!
I’ll check it out! Had to bust out the makita since somebody went a little wild on the lugs lol
Companion flang you showed at the end of the video is 87 foot pounds that the drive shaft connects to on the tranfercase its alot higher on the diff Pinion
Yes but tightening that pinion nut on a new gear setup is a whole lot more than that
@@PhoRunner yes that was in the last sentence of my comment way way higher

This is true. That’s why it stays in the drawer most of the time haha
Great Vid! I also find having a good supply of PB Blaster helps a lot.
Yah! It was my friend early on but these days, I cleared off all the rust hehe
Wrench set for brakes, puller for timing belt maybe. Nice video!
Those brake wrenches are nice but such low use haha. Mine are all shiny new except the 10mm :)
Great video. Can you do one in depth of tools for axle bearings tools required that would be great
Front or rear?
@@PhoRunner Rear
Ah yes it’s a special tool that I don’t own yet. Maybe one day I’ll buy it! I sent mine in to the machine shop :)
I use the double box end wrenches the most over my gearwrench ratcheting combo wrenches
The long ones I showed? 2 sizes per wrench?
@@PhoRunner yep they are super handy

For sure. I respect mechanics that work on the ground lol

I might splurge and get me a m12 impact !

Thx Xmas is coming!!! Lol
@@PhoRunner oh yeah best time of the year to splurge on yourself
Thank you so much for this vid.
Can't beat old craftsmen tools. Especially the ones made in US. Nice find.`
I like it

always enjoy your vids, i learn a lot! thank you.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the videos. Extremely helpful.
Thanks for tuning in!
Good video As always brother
Much appreciated
very helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks, good information
Glad it was helpful!

Indeed!! I was using 3 ton for so long and when I got them, I was wondering why LOL.
i don't know if there's that much risk using the 3 tons. . 3 ton jacks will hold 6000 lbs, a 4runner weighs 3700 lbs. if you're using 4 jacks to lift the whole truck, u have 12000 lbs capacity for a 3700 lb truck. still went with the 6 ton jacks though. because of HEIGHT. they're much taller
Yes it’s a height thing mainly
Nice job. Thanks for keeping it real.
Thanks for watching!
Just picked up a 99 3rd gen with a factory locker and maual. Your channel has been super helpful, love the content !
torque wrenches
Indeed but I think you can get by without one. My dad did for decades lmao
@@PhoRunner That’s right I borrow my brother-in-law’s all the time
Amazing. Outstanding presentation. What is the roof set up you have there now? Did you do a video on it?
Yes I did. It’s a diy roof top tent
Oh yes, I saw the video with the tent, great.
I am completely amazed that you can do all that work with thos small tools.. thoses arms look like they would snap on the first use.
Hello, can I also use the tools you discuss to 2003 4Runner? And can you share link where I can buy parts? Thanks a lot!
👍
:fistbump
Random question out of the videos but what type of floor mats do you have ? I have a 96 4runner but I can’t find any floor mats for it
They are weather tech specific to 96-02 4runner. They fit and work great
@@PhoRunner thanks ! Also wondering what battery do you have lol because I want to do a full L.E.D conversion but I read about voltage going down a lot but I figured you have a lot of things wired up
Just a standard Costco battery. Group 27 i believe (bigger)
Where can I find your Instagram?!
