Wes, your running commentary reminds me of my Dad telling me "put $1000 into a $1500 truck, and when you get done, it'll be worth $800.

I think you probably saved my axel seals with that last video. I went out and checked my diff breather and it was clogged and had pressure behind it. Thanks Wes!

Dad started teaching me to work on our old stuff when I was about the size of your little one, I was about four. I especially remember the Chevy Apache with a canister oil filter. The tune up: points, plugs, condenser. Cleaning and greasing wheel bearings. I wasn't the best option for him but the only option. I had a nickname then too: Tornado. If you can get the junior online, he can do the easy stuff, like bump the starter until the points are on the cam, clean the bearings and dust cap with a coffee can of regular gas and a toothbrush (yeah, the orange stuff we used to wash our hands in after working in the garage). Pour the old oil along the fence line to keep the weeds down. Hold the trouble light so dad couldn't see what he was doing. "Get that ------ light out of my eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hold it HERE!" Thanks for the memories Wes....

I was loving those booger welds on the exhaust hahaha. I've spliced many a pipe. A trick is to start the weld arc on the clean new pipe, then drag the bead across to the rusty pipe. The molten bead will melt through the surface rust and bond the pipes. The arc never starts well on rust. Just my $.02

"FIXED!" Great ending with humor. You're the man!

Love how you can take a seemingly basket case like this, methodically tackle one item at a time and have her all fixed and good to go!

glad to see your shop is so busy.just dont overwork yourself.theres only one WES. we want you to be successful, but also want you to live a happy & long rewarding life.too much work degrades both.thanks for the follow up bud.we appreciate you taking the time for us viewers.

I'm not sure what I appreciate more, Wes, your humor or all the things I learn watching you work on stuff. Either way, both are very much appreciated!

16:12 looks like how the exhuast shop I went to did my exhaust...ended up just doing it myself after. That's the last time I go to a shop due to self-doubt, plus I learned myself how to weld pipe better than a guy running a "professional shop" who tried charging me $225 for welds like those. Wish we all had a Wes to go to, if I could afford it.

You're wrong, it was an excellent video, as always, you really are a master at your trade

It's kinda funny when you a guy who can work on huge trucks is working on a little Nissan and you just knock out every problem like it's nothing. Excellent work! Love the content. What's crazy is the cat converter thieves in my town steal them in parking lots in brod daylight. With people around. They legit never get caught around here in CT.

I am so glad your not taking the comment section too seriously, it's full of "experts". Just laugh it off, You obviously know what your doing.

We could be friends Wes. "Come on...." is one of my goto phrases when the struggle gets real. lol

As always, thanks for the time and effort you put into making these videos - “we” appreciated it and enjoy hanging out with y’all.

"Somehow the wire speed got turned up to maximum", a good workman doesn't blame his tools Wes ;) ;)

Wes: "The front suspension still creaks" Every Nissan truck owner just chuckled! They just do that, you can't take them anywhere!

You will always have plenty of work, Wes, because of your skills and integrity. @ least until the supply chain is completely destroyed.

Best truck I've ever owned was a 1998 Nissan frontier extended cab. Drove it for 13 years as daily driver. Gave to my son and he drove it 10 years as a daily driver. Still ran fine and he sold it in 2021. His friend still driving it. Had well over 300,000 miles when he sold it. Never had anything but routine maintenance.

Your backlogged because you do great work & your loyal customers will wait to get an appointment!

That Max, always messing with the wire feed control on the welder. 😂

Wes ! I am a self employed carpenter. Have been for 30 years here in N.H. Been through my share of diablo carbide tipped sawzall blades. I want to compliment you for your ability to bite your tounge. Your better at it than I am.

Nice. My 2008 Frontier 4x4 4.0L crew cab long wheel base has 385,000 on the original engine and trans. Had to replace the rear diff at 350,000 cause I never changed the fluid and drove it in many stream crossings as well as towed a cargo trailer for work pretty often. My bad on that one. I have replaced several radiators and the cats went around 350K which was a pricey fix. Frontiers are Great trucks!

In part 1, you really cracked me up with your remark about the change engine light. Still laughing about it.

I had new mufflers installed in my truck. And I guess that the installer had a bit of trouble with his migwelder. All of the welds looked like porcupines wearing fur coats. But they didn’t leak!

the final frontier....you crack me up, but you caught that wire speed pretty quick

Not much of a video you say? It was a good video! Have a great week Wes!

Thanks for the closure, I was having trouble sleeping this last week thinking about that truck! My exhaust project on my truck ended up pretty much the same. I tried to get the nuts off the studs and almost every one of them broke off. I drove the old studs out and just nut and bolted it back together. My old 96 F250 used to have a bell ringing sound in the front suspension, drove me crazy. Could not find what the heck was causing it, it was a 2wd truck with the I-beam suspension and it turned out it was a cone shaped washer that held down the spring to the axle.

Nice work Wes! You get the good ones, it's the "American" way..

makes me miss my old frontier.... happiest day of ownership was dropping it off at the scrap yard with 98,000 miles on it and it wasn't in any accidents. last straw was the bed falling off

I love closure!😂 It might not make sense to stick a lot into the old girl, it’s still cheaper than buying a new or newer used one right now!

Wes: I'm finishing on the Nissan frontier. I will label the video 'final frontier'. Wife: please don't... Wes: does it anyway.

In different times this Nissan would have ended in the crusher or sold for parts only. But in our times its more feasable to repair something which creates good content for us :)

Thanks for bringing us along, especially with the backlog you're facing. If you need a couple weeks to get closer to normal, take it. We will be here

A nice low stress , straight forward , finish . Was a pleasant Saturday Morning stroll across the belly of the beast . Gave good closure to the last video . 👍

Wes what do you mean " not much of the video" ? Every single video you make is awesome.!!! I am a mechanic. Love to watch your videos. I always learn something. And also it feels good to watch someone else to work while i am sitting in the couch :). There is only one bad part. It is getting too expensive to watch you. Cause when i see tool i don't have, i need to buy it 😆😄. Please continue to produce videos. They are very entertaining and educational. Don't listen to negative people. They are just jealous that the are not like you. Good luck...

Thanks for the update, I'd say after the list you gave it still needs to make a nice truck. The best thing to do is chain the rad cap to your engine hoist lift up push the truck out and drive a better truck under the cap and lower it . The reality up here in Canada right now is that's a 15K truck in somebody's mind as is. I'm looking for an extra truck and that's what guys think most of the bent rusty junk you seem to fix is worth with high KM's and no safety, Its kinda interesting though lots of it don't sell. I've watched some for 2 months and if I make realistic offers based on the truck condition and the work to make it legal they get offended L.O.L. Take care.

Hi Wes and family, 'not much of a video'. Do not do yourself down, we love all your uploads. Many thanks from Nr Liverpool UK

Congrats on passing the 200k subscriber mark! Well deserved!

"Fixed." @watch wes work FTW. May not be "much of a video" but was good enough for me. Bravo.

OMG, what you SAID!! “Back probes are such a pain in the butt!!!” 😂

I appreciate you being a full service facility. I drive a service truck an provide expedite repairs on-site. Some people try to get me to do non emergency such as catalytic converter replacement and i reccomend to them its a lot cheaper to just take it to an exhaust shop. I am full service in my service truck but im not gonna waste time replacing a cat when i have a crew of 4 guys waiting for me to repace a hydraulic hose on a workover rig in the oilfields.

Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!

Great repairs. This should be a good daily driver or work truck for someone. Hope the customer does not have to much money into it. When you are good you get a lot of business. Be proud of what you do and your results. Thanks for the videos.

I like these videos because you fix stuff the right way. It's very satisfying.

Used to "fix" my body mounts on my '68 Chevy C10 the same way. Love it! Actually works well for those of us that worry more about how squeaky it is rather than how good it runs!

Enjoyed this little series very much. Loved seeing all of those issue get knocked out and watching this old truck get a new opportunity to work again 👌

Thank you for sharing and your APPRECIATION Wes
