What's up my people, what's up machine freaks, I am up here at the shop at the warehouse. I have the Jeep right here. The Jeep does not look too much different from yesterday. However, the shop does look different as you can see. I get a lot of those boxes out of here. Trying to make it easier to stay on path. I have the differential right here. I only have a few components I have to do after I move the drum brake, the e-brake, the cable, clean all this to the brie out of there. Other than that, I think this side I have accomplished. Oh yeah, that's right. I have to remove the axle hub here. I need to pull this right out so that when this gets sand blasted or you're not sand blasted, it shouldn't be affecting when it's sand blasted. But when I go to powder coat it, because as you guys know, I'm powder coating basically everything to make a bulletproof vehicle, something that once it gets a dirt salt, anything on it, it kind of just falls off where paint it. Once you get it chipped, it russes away. It's at least here in New York. But like I was saying, I'm going to get this powder coated. So when it comes to the sand blasting process, I think I'm going to keep it just like this because the sand blasting guy will be able to get over here. He'll be able to get behind there. He won't hurt anything out here. He'll clean up our bolts nice and clean so we can even powder coat our bolts. He'll sand blast all this up so there's no point in me cleaning this right now because the sand will just tear all that right out. Then once it comes back from sand blasting, then we take the axles out, then we put new bearings in after it's powder coated. There's just a lot of steps and you got to stay well organized. That's my notebooks for. My notebook is coming in clutch. For example, I need those two plastic, whatever they are. I'm going to call it that. I saw a lot of questions that concern the last 3D machines production comments section. So be sure to get to as many as much information as I can. But first, let's get this all torn apart. The dip is done and ready to be sand blasted. As you can see, I'm keeping this dust shield or I actually forgot the name of it again. I'm going to have that sit just like that. So when he goes to sand blasted, he can get here and then get here. And then if he needs to move it, he can move it. He doesn't have to completely remove it. Now, this transmission was missing a few bolts. So I just put some in here just for just for joining purposes. So you can see I got a bolt in here with two huge washers. Definitely not something that comes off the assembly line or in the factory. And then here you have a bolt, a lock washer, and then a regular washer. That one's slightly more suitable. What I would like to do is remove both the engine and the transmission at one time. So that way we can get moving forward on the frame, our foundation. One of my buddies might come up and if he does, we'll save that process for when he comes up. Otherwise, I'm going to work on the drive shaft right now because that thing's looking rusty and crusty. If we're going to powder coat as much stuff as we are, we may as well do things like that. Even though nobody's ever going to see it, it'll last a long time. Heathen ended up coming up and he took off the front sway bar here. He's got some of his tools and the nuts and bolts. One thing that's definitely coming to mind now is the fact that when I do install my four inch suspension lip, there are going to be components that are going to be bolted on because companies don't want to rely on people having a welder or not. Everybody can buy a drill. Everybody can buy a drill bit. So all rough country stuff is bolt on. Well, I'm going to weld a lot of my stuff on because I have the luxury of a welder. But some of these components you don't weld on, but I do. I think I want to powder coat some of these because I want to shy away from a lot of things black. A lot of people have black components. I don't want to be like that. I want to have a lot of red. If you know anything about lighting and cameras, black is terrible with cameras. So that's why mostly I'm going towards red and a lot of people have it. So you got to stick out. You got to be a machine. You got to stand out. Also, I took off all this rusty, crusty mess that was on the transfer case. I tore that all apart, which took me a very, very long time. It's sitting right here. I'm trying to keep everything grouped together. There's all the components right there. So that everything in there will be sandblasted and then there are some components not in there that will not be sandblasted. As you can see, I actually cut this one portion out. I had to do that in order to get one of the bolts out, but now that that's cut and after it's sandblasted, we'll go ahead and weld that together and it'll be brand new. Now I want to assess the situation for either the engine and transmission removal or just the front end because I kind of want to get this frame and other components to the sandblaster so we can start having our brand new foundation. Hey, you didn't make a three more bucks for it. And just like that, the grill's off. A few days when I took the oil pan off, I only lost one bolt. I finally found it. It's on the front differential there. I currently have a whole bunch of stuff from Rough Country, including like this whole front portion here. I'm thinking since the wheels are on here and the engine's right here and it's kind of as far forward as it can go, I'll put the cherry picker up here and then once we get the engine and the transmission because we're going to keep those two together, once we keep, once we put that up in the air, we can just then pull this whole assembly back instead of moving our transmission and our engine with a cherry picker. Basically, we'll have a dolly on steroids. Oh! All right, so Ethan and I just prepped the engine and the cherry picker. You guys probably recognize him. He bought the blue chopper off of me. You still got it? Oh, yeah. Does it run? Yeah. Kind of? Yeah. Does it run good? Yeah. It does? It gets me around. So he's been my intern. We're going to try to pick this thing up. We got the nuts off of both sides of the bolts that hang on to the engine mounts. Conveniently enough, this transfer case wasn't even bolted down so that should come right up. So I have a chain right here. I have two points on the engine so basically we're going to have three, three points here and we're going to lift it up. You want to use a engine license so that adds to the change. Yes! That occurred with any clip or stuff, that's all we get, add two parts, figs for fingers, There you go, set it down. Can't really hurt his handle. Well, we got the engine, the transmission and transfer case out. It was soon apparent that we didn't really have this last chain on too good because what had happened was all the weights actually right here. And all I did was put two chains on the front of the engine. So all the torque was going back here and was put on this chain, but this chain was definitely not far enough back. So it kind of was a pain, but you know, you live and you learn. We had fun. It was definitely chaotic wasn't it, you know. But it definitely won't go back in the Wrangler like this because I have a clutch coming, a two-stage clutch, and I have to replace some seals. I don't know if it's leaking out of the engine or the transmission, but I'll replace both seals. So we'll be good. If you're going to have it out, make sure to change simple stuff like seals. Otherwise you put it together and then it starts leaking and then you got to do it all over again. And nobody likes to do things all over again. Now we'll be able to make stuff pretty on the engine. I'll probably get the fan even powder coated. We're going to replace the timing chain on this thing and I think the kit comes with this water pump so all this stuff will be brand new. Basically everything's getting renovation and a restoration. So this thing's going to be clean. It's not going to be a 97 or a 99. The engine is a 99. The chassis is a 97. We're pushing this stuff to the 2018, which is very, very, very exciting. A lot of you machines and machine freaks were in quarrying about 10 plus minute videos in the comment section. So I'm trying to do that. I'm trying to answer a lot of questions as well. If you have any comments or concerns, put them in the comment section below. Your feedback helps these videos run like a well oil machine without your creativity and without my creativity. There's not as good of creativity. So just put in the comment section. Trust me. The video is only get better when you comment. You guys need to get on your keyboards a little bit more. So then I can start swearing at the haters. You can start swearing at the haters. Everybody starts swearing at the haters and the world is a better place. Stay fruggy first. Stay super fly. Until next time. We'll see you later. Three machines out.
