Bose Upgrade for my Ford Explorer (Humor)
Having fun at the expense of our trade deficits and "Global Economy," I "upgrade" the sound system in my Ford Explorer from Sony to Bose.

2011+ Ford Explorer Armrest Repair
มุมมอง 93K8 ปีที่แล้ว
A common problem with 2011 Explorers is that the door panel armrest splits at the seam. This video shows how I repaired mine using waxed thread. The video is a bit long and a bit redundant so I suggest watching the first stitch and then skipping to the end to see the finished product (15:24) or the middle (12:30).
Fixed loose Pac Bay butt with Loctite 290
มุมมอง 2.2K9 ปีที่แล้ว
The key inside this Pac Bay butt was loose so that the rod was twisting in the butt. I ended up fixing it with Loctite 290. Seems like it will hold. I'll keep an eye on it and may use is for a backup.

Removing a stuck Aftco Butt with heat and hammer - Part 2, Success. Summary: I sprayed various penetrating oils at the seam for 3 weeks and had heated it to 200 degrees using a heat gun with no movement at all. I destroyed three 2x4 wood clamps by hammering before changing to the 4x4 shown in this video. For this final successful attempt, I heated it to 300 degrees and I think it was the heat t...
Stuck Aftco Butt - Part 1 No Joy
มุมมอง 9949 ปีที่แล้ว
Video showing steps I have take so far attempting to get a 25 year-old stuck Aftco butt to come apart. I have two of them - one came apart using the 2x4 method shown but the second one is still stuck at the moment. The one that came apart had white corrosion inside mostly at the bottom. This is part 1 - there is a part two where it finally comes apart.

Plane-on-one test with 17" Rebel Prop on E-TEC 200HO for Grady White Sailfish
มุมมอง 8K11 ปีที่แล้ว
I replaced my Viper 19" props with Rebel 17" props and did a number of tests to compare performance. This test is a "plane on one" test where the boat gets up to ~35 mph using a single outboard running at 5100 RPM. Normal full-throttle with both engines is 5700 RPM and 49 MPH. The audio about 1 minute in is difficult is understand but what I am saying is that with a 1994 Hull/Transom and near 8...

    I tried this repair myself and it turned out awesome! First I ordered thread that was real close to the original color. To get it exact I ordered some vinyl interior dye that matched the interior trim color exactly ( SEM vinyl dye). I needed it anyway to spray / repair the scratches on the glove box door. So, I dunked the thread in the vinyl dye then wiped it off. Let the thread dry for a few minutes. Threaded the needle and started to stitch away. After I was done I tucked any white/ yellow foam into the seam. Then I took a small brush and began to lay the vinyl dye into the seam. Lastly, I took some body solvent/ mineral spirits on a rag and wipe the excess vinyl dye off. The results are unbelievable! Perfect repair!

    Got this problem on my 13 explorer, was wondering if this could be possible, thank you so much for posting this, while watching i started wondering if a guy could do the actual leather stitching with 2 needles, i think it's called a saddle stitch, this gives so many ideas, many thanks again

    Baseball Stitch it or Straight Stitch the full length of the door. Do all four doors to make it even. That's what I did and it looks great.

      I replaced this boat with a Grady White 272 Sailfish which is a foot wider and 3 feet longer and a whole lot heavier. It is powered by twin Evinrude E-Tec 200 HOs which are great motors. There is a 3-second glimpse of it in this video starting at 3:19.

    Oh my goodness I did not know anyone else had this problem too! My 2013 Ford Explorer driver side stitching split around 48,000 miles too and I super glued it and it’s held until now at 98,000 miles. Thanks for your video and I’m going to try your way this time and maybe it’ll hold better.

    Hey, thanks this was a great repair. Just finished up mine, looks great and a lot less than a new door panel. I did find quite a bit of difference in the flexibility when doing it in 70 degree sun vs 60 shade. I'd recommend 70 degrees in the sun

    Thank you for this great tutorial. Not having to replace the door panel to solve the problem saved me at least $400, and that armrest would have likely split over time also. Nobody should shy away from following your lead/tutorial and giving this repair a try. The bonus was the information on the exact needle and thread you used as the tread is a great match to the original fake plastic stitching texture and the blunt point needle makes finding the hole from the back side an easy task. The only issue I had was that it took approximately 2 months (due to delays) to receive the thread I ordered via Amazon but we were/are in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic so...
