Such a Simple Job Turns Into More
Just swapping the axle shafts on my TJ Jeep Wrangler. It's an hour job, or at least in another shop would be. But here at Rooster's Garage, things get more difficult always.

Ex-Govt Project Boat Is a Pain in the Butt
My project boat I bought at a government auction has been getting some expensive repairs lately. It's been in the shop more than it's been in the water. Let's work on getting this back to being reliable.

Swapping Out 15 Year Old Dodge Ball Joints
The ball joints on my Allison swapped Dodge have finally had enough. They've worked for 263,000 miles, and I guess that's a good enough life. I'm putting EMF @EMFEVO rebuildable ball joints in so I never have to do this job again.

I Worked All Summer Only To Have This Happen
I spent the summer dodging rain and working on this boat for a friend. He said it only needed a few things added and would be quick. Well, turns out it wasn't as quick as he thought because I found problems.

Welding, Extension Cords, Generator Power and a Fox Body Mustang. What could go wrong?
We've got to weld the frame of a Fox body Mustang in a shop that's being built and doesn't yet have power. The shop is running on a generator and extension cords. Can we weld, or better yet should we weld on extension cords? Only one way to find out sometimes, you just gotta do it! At least I have a pro welder running the beads! That's one thing we know we've got going in our favor.
We brought our new Arccaptain MIG 130 to this job, and we are hoping it can not only run on the extension cords, but also brings the power to weld the frame sections to strengthen the rusted out frame. I'm told by the Mustang owner this is a pretty common repair on these older bodies.

Pulling Stuck Neighbor Up His Steep Rutted Driveway With a SxS
After lots of rain my neighbor's son was stuck at the bottom of their driveway and needed a tow. I hopped in the trusty @Kubotatractorcorp RTV x1140 with the @NilightLed light bars lighting up the way and used my @voodoooffroad4148 recovery rope to give him the tug he needed. He didn't think I'd make it up, but he forgot about last year when I pulled his dad's work van up their driveway.

How To Replace a Leaking Kitchen Faucet
Replacing a kitchen faucet isn't difficult until it is. The shutoff valves were leaking and needed to be replaced, but the water main is frozen open and I can't turn it off. Having to change a shutoff valve with the water on was a chilly experience! But things don't always go right and you've got to adapt, improvise and overcome.

Rilon Mig 135E Welder Unboxing & Review
I was sent this Rilon 135E welder for free to try. It is designed for beginners and there is only one knob to adjust, which is for the thickness of the material to be welded. I haven't done any MIG welding in several years, and neither of my boys have done any MIG welding at all so we all three had our turn using this welder. I also did some destructive testing to see how the welds held up.

New Headlights, Flat Tires & One LONG Driveway
Auxito asked me to review their headlights and I can't just do a normal product review. I've got to run things through their paces and I got a chance to actually test out the headlights where there are no lights for miles! This did mean I had to bring my gooseneck out of trailer retirement, air up some tires that had gone flat, and drive out there with the Kubota RTV x1140. Very little goes smooth around here, and this video is no exception.
Then I went to my brother's house he's moving out of to take a Bear Cat wood chipper back to my house. This wasn't without it's challenges either, but the winch was used a lot, and I even got to bring the @VooDoo Offroad kinetic recovery rope out to play.
