The trailer's looking great. I hope you're enjoying yourself, you certainly deserve it. I retired in October 2023, but I'm not young and spry like you are, I'm pushing 70. All the best to you, may you have many, many years of happiness.

Congrats on retiring glad ur back

Hi April glad to hear from you. The trailer turned out very good. Take care an good luck on your retirement. Terry 😊

I like the addition of the footman loops. Makes me want to do the same with my T3-C trailer. Nicely done, looks like a good solid rig for Salty to tow. Always nice to see a matching Jeep and trailer.

Just came across your channel while researching upholstery ideas. Fantastic work on your truck! Thanks for your service too!

HEEE HAAWW You are a 63 and I am a 60 and right now I am working towards improving the handling and braking. You are just what I needed :)

After all those years, how did it hold up? I like the product but I am kinda scared that its not durable and will cause rust underneath it.

It’s the little touches that makes it all you 👊🏼

WOW! What a beautiful Island.

LOL I have a Ford van and watch car videos... i happened to be playing Kurtis Blow this video was in my shorts and when it started playing the video and this song still was on i got so confused .. nice truck. I did a rear disc conversion on my Econoline.. probably same damn kit... uses like 70s GM calipers

just curios do you loose any of your turn radius going to disc and having to lengthen the stop bolt .. be cool to see it on the road

April nicely done! I like the wheels, glad you were able to keep them with the conversion!

nice upgrade April, keep on wrenching 👍🏼

Thanks for the video. I'm sure it feels nice to put the (Retired) tag there. I retired from my (civilian) career last October. I've been getting moved, and then had some other issues, but I sure don't miss having to answer the alarm clock's call! I'm very interested in both your restorations. Thanks for sharing them with us. All the best to you.

Coast Guard is fucking outstanding outfit. Worked with those cats in Al Jubail port during Desert Shield/Storm when I was with 1st MEB out of Kaneohe. The amount of dedication and “can do” was as high as I ever saw in my 12 years. USMC 81-93.

W I want to do a rear disc on my square

I miss that drive.

Good tune.

Try going down the road on a 1947 Allis Chalmers sitting on the rear diff with the engine between your legs. You see potholes coming you stand up on the axles so your legs absorb the shocks. Happy Motoring.

Mine feels sketchy at that speed and it’s 4wd.

Outstanding! Congratulations on your retirement. I was very interested to see the training clips. I had no idea they did that aboard ship. Sorry to hear about Diesel, /i know our pups are family. I do kind of envy you, getting to see the South Pacific. I had some college friends from that part of the world, many years ago. Thank you for your service. I hope you'll keep posting, it's been very interesting seeing you working on Shipwrecked and Salty. All the best to you in all you do.

Congrats April. Sorry to hear you leaving for the West Coast. At JBLM for the moment, but headed back to NC.

Congrats on retirement April! So sorry to hear about the Diesel

Looks like it was a good final deployment! Congrats on a job well done. Thank you for your service and welcome to the retired ranks of the Coast Guard.

Congrats on finishing a full career. Are you staying in Virginia or going back to Oregon?

Glad your deployment is done, congrats on your retirement and thank you very much for your service April!

Good stuff. Thank you for your service. Congrats on your mission. May you have smooth sailing ahead.

Well happy retirement ..... now enjoy life

Hi April, sorry to hear about Diesel. RIP little guy, thank you for your service April. You ever get thru W Cent Illinois give me a shout, I'll buy. Be safe an God Bless. Terry😊

Did you fix it? I think it's valvetrain. Seems to be happening at a slower rate than rpm.

Sweet truck. In my experience things give trouble when not being used enough. Use it more and if that don't work get ride of it.

Great to hear from you! I can't believe that actually rocks the boat (ship?)

It's great to see an update from you, and I'm very happy to hear you're that close to ETS (as we called it in the Army). I retired in October, I'm loving it, getting time to do all the things I've been planning to do "once I have the time." All the best to you, I'll keep you in my thoughts as you get closer to the happy day.

2 months out, pretty close to the end of that tunnel. Congrats!

Welcome to retirment

I didn’t know that was a thing! I would have been a smart ass and said I was feeling extra salty that day!

That's not a Medium Endurance Cutter, that's a 378 foot High Endurance Cutter.

It is your main bearings. I had a 58 223, the mains bearing sounded just like that. I pulled the engine had it totally machined, then I was mentored in the complete rebuild. The way the crank and mains are engineered they just fail. Now, with better materials you should be able to get those bearing replaced with some very good bearing that will last.

I've been binge watching your videos and I'm impressed with your budget, availability of parts and time. I have a question with relation to this video of the primer work....how much of the tub and other parts do you think you covered with one pot of primer and how much did you fill the pot with? I'm in Australia by the way way, ex Australian Army Rifleman so much respect to a fellow veteran for bringing an old war horse back to life and serving. 👍🏻🇦🇺

Thanks for the update, and smooth sailing for the next five months. I envy you the trip through the Panama Canal, I've always thought it would be cool to do. Maybe not so much for work, but as a tourist. I hope you have time for some relaxation and enjoyment sometimes. Thank you for your service. All the best to you.

Hope these next 5 months goes by smoothly.

Hi April, hope you've been well. Good to hear from you, stay safe an have a great Thanksgiving. Terry😊

Good tip here, my D41 has the same ease-of-removal issue on that inner race. I thought upsetting the material and using something like green Loctite might a good solution and since I can see someone else doing it, it's probably fine.

I know this is an older video but it's still relevant and helpful. I was wondering how I was going to create my setup bearings and had forgotten that I have a similar grinding stone for a drill. Good to see your process. I have the same fun ahead of me x2, and maybe x4 if I feel like reworking the old axles I'm replacing. (I'm late to the video for the promotion news but just in time for the retirement!)

I want a coupon!

As someone who runs their own LPFM station, the pain of driving home from work and losing reception is just sad 😢
