Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Good Friday morning friends!!! Hope everyone had a great week so far and has an awesome day

 

Good morning all

 

I have the old style gas can too. My son has some kinda can that takes 3 hands to operate.

 

Like vice grips

 

Morning

 

Well , guess I can cancel breakfast

 

Sorry about that. I edited for those that haven had breakfast yet.

 

Innovation at its greatest
The one I haven't replaced the nozzle on yet...used it last night to fill the lawnmower. It's a type that has a hook of sorts off the side and you push that down on the lip of whatever your filling. I was very close to overflowing and spill over with that beauty. This would be a good place to link replacement nozzles. I'd bet Amazon has them but pretty sure I got mine from TSC.
Happy Friday everyone.

 

Co-worker made two sets of tie-rod ends for his old chevy pick-ups a few weeks ago. We had to order a left hand tap....oddball size but I don't recall exactly.

 

I have some gas cans with a push valve filler tube. They're crappy for filling up a vehicle, but great for lawnmowers! You don't spill hardly any fuel.

 

Did that last week shame shame, switched to ujugs

 

Advertised as Heavy Duty 3 row, all brass and copper construction. Some of it looks brass...and I see three rows....
A little apprehensive about putting this radiator in without putting a new water pump and thermostat.
Why do those plastic and aluminum ones keep blowing out? Just because they're cheap $100.00 POS?

 

Morning Shane

 

Probably finished in a zinc chromate finish to stop brass corrosion. Plus, we're used to seeing silver radiators in our cars, they might have a bunch of complaints from end users on "why is my radiator gold colored?"

 

A new water pump and thermostat 6 years ago, then a new replacement radiator that lasted a few years, then 2 radiators replaced with lifetime warranty...and another water pump not long ago, at the first water pump change it also had a new belt with tensioner and idler replaced.
I don't want to make swapping radiators out a new career.
2000 Jeep Wrangler TJ , 4.0L auto.
And every time it's broken down has left my daughter stranded in what she thought was a sketchy part of Lincoln.
I felt like telling her stay out of sketchy part of town.

Edit, about 30k miles in the 6 or so years we've owned it.

 

Just push that thing in the river and start over.

 

Daughter, fresh out of college just landed a 80k a year job...starting pay. She eventually wants a new Rav4 , but would like to keep her first vehicle and that is this Jeep. I'd like to see her keep as well. The Jeep is a year older than her, and it's in remarkably good condition far as rust free decent looking Jeep. Plus the off-road seed was planted at a Jeep Jamboree where she did all the driving.

 

Sounds like it's just the fact that it's a Heep...

 

He got these two done yesterday.

 

Missed it

uh ive never swapped that many radiators on one vehicle
