Your sisters face when the oil missed the bucket and when she shorted the starter motor out. Flying sparks. Her first experience of the unmistakable smell of used gear oil was also a treat to see. Definitely enjoy the episode.
This is one of the best ones you've done in a long time you can't beat having kids in the shop especially when it's so generational more of this please
Emily, Abby, and The Kid putting in work with special guest star appearances by Lilly, Mom, and the grandparents? Yes please! My heart is full watching y'all wrench away. First vehicle for The Kid - what about something like a 2001-2006 Tahoe or Silverado? It doesn't have the vintage cool factor, but it does come with LS power, current support, and you can do quite a bit with them. It is also a transitional period that is still big and heavy with solid metal plus it has airbags.
'Well, now it's a 2 wheel drive Jeep' Best comment ever from Aaron. Is there anyone else that thinks Emily sister is Uma Thurman? I love seeing noobs showing an interest and assisting with work on their own vehicle's, props to you!!! Well done in making time for helping family. Where would humanity be if we didn't take time to assist and help family?? Keep going guys, really love your videos.
I would think "The Kid"would enjoy a mid 90's Ford, Dodge or Chevy pick up truck. I had a '91 short box Chevy 1/2 ton truck I drove for almost 25 years and it was very reliable and relatively easy to work on. Disc brakes in the front drums in the rear. A/C, power windows, power brakes and steering with a 350 small block V8.
Emily! You and your sister are to much fun! Good for Abby for getting in and getting in and getting it done! Grandpa and Grandma added to it all! Good to see you all having fun!
I clicked on the video so fast. It's nice to see a Jeep on this channel. I have a 77 Jeep CJ7 that was a barn find. I slowly restored it and modified it to my taste and now I daily drive it.
I can't believe of all the videos I've watched before, this is the first time I've seen your sister in one of them and I have to say you two look like twins! Thumbs up to your mom and dad for making two beautiful girls 😊
Wonderful to watch all the ladies working together and learning about the vehicle they will be driving. Aron , I feel for you man , you had the hardest job 😂 Awesome video 😊
The look on Abby's face when attacking the u-joint straps was pretty damned intense. She seems like a very driven individual. She's damn sure doing a fine job with her daughters.
I enjoyed this video....your sister enjoyed herself with working on her vehicle. The kid should get the black Z, and she could help with the fixing up.
Wow your sister is sooooo pretty and seems like such a cool person. Love your family, keep them coming and have her on more often. Been watching you channel for years and I can not ever remember you having her on. Love the Kid too.
Abbey did a great job. and she was half right with the power steering fluid coming out coming out the transfer case. a lot of the time it is the same spec fluid. all Aaron needed was a cold beverage of some kind and he'd been all set in his hammock!!
As a retired firefighter I can 100% testify that newer cars are MUCH safer in the event of a crash. I love older vehicles but I would strongly suggest a newer vehicle for a beginner driver. The safety ratings you can find online seem to be legit. I would look at those carefully.
My first car was a jeep and I’m fine as well as many others. I’m a firefighter too and would have a bone to pick with that advice!! It’s America Do what cha want you’ll be fine
Aaron got a little heated there! You guys do great work and I enjoy watching every episode. I’ve been looking at cheap Jeep’s to fix up this winter so this is right up my alley.
Remove front and rear track bars. Retorque the shackles at leafs and frame mounts. Track bars on YJ bind the suspension during its travel as the leaf is designed up/down and not to be pulled sideways via the track bar. That makes it a rough ride. Most people add lift shackles and over-torque the bolts resulting in pressing the shackle into the bushing and cause more bind and rough ride. Body bolts are relatively standard coarse SAE bolts. 2 on rear crossmember, 2 over rear axle, 3 on the side of the frame, and 1 in the middle of the grille. The 'block spacer' on the corners of the grille is part of the product kit for the small body lift. If those body bushings look bad, look at replacing with 1" taller poly body bushings. You are missing the lower bushings with the large washers. 1/2"-13 should be in the middle. 7/16-14 at the rear crossmember, over the rear axle, and under grille. There would be hidden nut plates to these body bolts. The trans skid/crossmember is secured through nut-serts into the frame. Those are replaceable. There is a 'drop' to that skid plate to lower the back end of the trans for better rear ds angle due to the shackle lift. Leafs look to be not-lift leafs. To help loosening the yoke nuts for the driveshaft, look to use a thick long screwdriver through the ujoint to minimize the ds rotation. That vacuum disconnect on the front axle is designed to engage a fork to connect the 2 inner shafts together. In 2wd, there is no vacuum going to that disconnect. In 4wd (hi or low), the vacuum comes from under the battery, over the trans to a vacuum switch (23:00 min mark can see the 4 black vacuum lines to the switch) on the tcase (front ds side), then back to the engine bay, back under the battery to the front axle. The vacuum lines would be in a wire conduit. There is a cable version to replace the vacuum issue, but then, you'll have to reconfigure the vacuum as the dash 4wd light indicator is through the vacuum port off the tcase switch. That trans has those 2 nuts to secure the mount to the crossmember. That single one on the side is the torque action bolt setup. There would be a wing on the trans mount bracket where this bolt goes through with 2 bushings on it. Its to compensate for the design of the motor mount and trans mounts design that don't prevent the engine rotating during acceleration forward or backward. Shifter removal is best through the interior. Same for reinstallation. Upgrade for that internal slave is to look for the outer slave system. Upgrade for that exhaust downpipe is use a TJ version. It wraps in front of the oil pan rather than go under the bellhousing. Nice job to all. First oil change standing...do that laying on your back with like results. Diff covers leave 1 top bolt in...rule of thumb for diff covers, trans, tcase, make sure you can remove the fill plugs before emptying the fluid for refills.
Very nice to see a family that will spend time together in the garage, respect is taught and the general knowledge of the vehicle is also. As far as the first vehicle goes maybe a mini-truck could still found atvs reasonable price. The boys might respect her in more than one way hopefully and the customization is almost unlimited depending on your wants/needs ...whether its 2x4 or 4x4, lifted or lowered. Four cylinders are a great place to start and good on fuel as a starting platform. Engine/trans swaps are readily available if she decides that might be a thing she would like .
You should put a flat blade screwdriver Or a pry bar between the u-joint and the very end of the drive shaft to hold it while you break the bolts loose.
The magic is see between you two and the love that radiates from you both is something I’ve looked for all my life. I hope someday I will get to experience what you two have together.
The best first car definitely needs to have airbags,and after a couple of years of experience, she can move on to any car she wants. Look up crash test 1959 Impala against a late 90s Malibu. You will be shocked to see the results. Thanks for sharing, and you all stay safe.
My daughter's 1st car is a 74 VW Beetle. Bought it when she was 15 months old. She is now 6 and she loves it! Might be a good option for the kid. Easy to work on and teaches them young to drive a manual.
Great video, guys. Driving without a working clutch isn't fun. A few years ago the slave cylinder on my delivery van gave out just after my 3rd drop-off. It was 4 in the morning and I still had 16 drops to make, couldn't get anyone to help me finish the rest of the deliveries, and not delivering just simply was not an option. Bit my lip and just did what you guys did and limped it throughout the city. Managed to finish the last drop just 20 minutes later than usual, then limped it to the garage on the other side of town. That was a morning I'll never forget.
Owww! I felt that when the wrench bit back! Brought back such fond memories of me and my Dad wrenching on my first cars! Always good for anyone to learn how to wrench on their own vehicle! So satisfying when all is done and you can stand back and say - "I did that". Great to see the whole family involved. Have a great day!
Such a great episode! Em was an excellent teacher, The Kid was great with the color commentary and camerawork and Abbey was a rock star and looked like she had no issues at all jumping in to do the work. Keep up the great work, ladies! (And Aaron, be careful with that hammock, I hear they’re easy to fall out of…😂)
Folks, it's awesome seeing the family bonding here and I'm glad you shared it with us in you tube land. As for a good first car you will want reliability, good fuel economy and affordable insurability. Toyota Corolla, honda civic, ford focus etc... Manual trans would be preferable as once you learn to drive stick you can drive anything. Cheers from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
I think y'all should give the kid the fury II/III don't remember which one it is exactly but that black Plymouth. Everyone has mustangs and jeeps so she would definitely stand out plus it didn't look like it needs too much work to get road worthy again. Yes Mopar parts are stupid expensive but y'all can always swap out the drive train to a newer 5.7 hemi and trans for reliability and parts convenience. Either that or a Miata so many ways to modify them from track to off-road.
Two beautiful ladies in the same family! Wow!
Your sisters face when the oil missed the bucket and when she shorted the starter motor out. Flying sparks.
Her first experience of the unmistakable smell of used gear oil was also a treat to see. Definitely enjoy the episode.
Family business! 4 generations in the workshop, few families can show that.
This is one of the best ones you've done in a long time you can't beat having kids in the shop especially when it's so generational more of this please

Cute sisters mucking things up--entertaining. :)
Lookin' forward to more "Sparks Sisters" footage, was a fun episode.

Hello the kids mom, pleasure to meet you. 😊
I particularly liked the way Aaron set up the hammock! Great Job Aaron!
Congrats to Abbey for wrenching on her Jeep. This was a very enjoyable episode.
Also love that your helping your Sis out while her doing sa lot of the work! great comedy Aaron! love meeting the whole Fam!
Emily! You and your sister are to much fun! Good for Abby for getting in and getting in and getting it done! Grandpa and Grandma added to it all!
Good to see you all having fun!
Love seeing women who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty, awesome family project!
Emily it is hard to tell you and your sister apart. There is a strong family resemblance!! She is a trooper just like you.
Definitely need more Abby in the future. Love the interaction between the sisters. Aron egging them on oil great as well.
more videos with Abbey please. great seeing her learning more about cars.
I clicked on the video so fast. It's nice to see a Jeep on this channel. I have a 77 Jeep CJ7 that was a barn find. I slowly restored it and modified it to my taste and now I daily drive it.

Y'all made me smile again 😃 .
Bullseye 🎯 with the oil 🛢️🪔
I like the hour long ones. And the entire family is working together. Even Aaron! Love the video and y’all!
Wonderful to watch all the ladies working together and learning about the vehicle they will be driving. Aron , I feel for you man , you had the hardest job 😂 Awesome video 😊

So great to see Abby and the kids learning and having fun. Great vid!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like a fun family day in the garage
This episode had me smiling and cracking up.
Wow your sister is sooooo pretty and seems like such a cool person. Love your family, keep them coming and have her on more often. Been watching you channel for years and I can not ever remember you having her on. Love the Kid too.
Arron was full of it in today’s episode
Replayed the grands visit! So nice!
Love seeing you guys all together working. Sister is another cutie! Keep those videos coming our way...
Lol I Love your grandparents!! they are so funny!! "who ever thought of that aught to be Fiard!!"
Wasn’t that THE BEST?! I will cherish those clips 🥰♥️
its great to see you power puffs worken on your own truck rock &roll.🥰😀
It is wonderful to include your sister and her vehicle in this episode and I'm always happy to see the kids as well ❤Love Jim J&R mobile service
The family that fixes together, stixes together! love all of the footage.
I love your family, all of them. I couldn't stop smiling watching this!
Hitting the starter. Hence the words flying sparks garage. ⚡️ ❤😂
Your sister needs to be a model
That thing is a pile. Almost every part of it needs something. Perfect
Refreshing, ladies in the garage wrenching with smiles and laughing😂, the guys no smiles and cussing😅
Abbey did a great job. and she was half right with the power steering fluid coming out coming out the transfer case. a lot of the time it is the same spec fluid.
all Aaron needed was a cold beverage of some kind and he'd been all set in his hammock!!
He was drinking lots of bubbly water! He quit alcohol so he drinks the unleaded bubbles 😅
@@flyingsparksgarage bubbly water? what is wrong with him!! 🤢🤢🤢🤢 I don't really drink alcohol either, but bubbly water, yuck!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved the episode. Abby was fun to watch as she worked her way through the steps. The drain plug removal was a scream.
all I can say is YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!!!
As a retired firefighter I can 100% testify that newer cars are MUCH safer in the event of a crash. I love older vehicles but I would strongly suggest a newer vehicle for a beginner driver. The safety ratings you can find online seem to be legit. I would look at those carefully.
Thanks Aaron for the spider flick to break up the giggling….sometimes….ummm…..it’s needed! 😂
My first car was a jeep and I’m fine as well as many others. I’m a firefighter too and would have a bone to pick with that advice!! It’s America Do what cha want you’ll be fine
What an awesome episode! Love you guys all working together!
Im a fan of old trucks and that might make a great project for the kid 🤷🏻♂️ 😁👍🏼
That was fun to see your sister learning about her jeep can't wait to see it finished
The way the kid learns to drive is what will determine what she drive with you teaching old school defentantly love your channel
Wow . Beauty is very clear in this family . Love the vids EM
The Kid is always a hoot! 😅
Aaron got a little heated there! You guys do great work and I enjoy watching every episode. I’ve been looking at cheap Jeep’s to fix up this winter so this is right up my alley.
Ideal first is a truck, bump/dent side ford (maybe a C10 like Garfield). Gets to wrench on, they are wildly customizable, and they are tough.
I've watched ya'll for so long I have literally watched the kid grow up its crazy
Outstanding job ladies. Aaron miss Em has always love y’all. miss Em You and your sister work great together.
Wenches with wenches...luv it😊😊😊😊

You have way too much time on your hands

Engine/trans swaps are readily available if she decides that might be a thing she would like .
Hopefully my messed up sentences can be overlooked ....sorry. I usually re-read/edit after but this time I couldn't edit.
Thank you for the awesome video..refreshing to see Abbey working/learning on her jeep;put the Kid in a literal tank lol safety first
You should put a flat blade screwdriver Or a pry bar between the u-joint and the very end of the drive shaft to hold it while you break the bolts loose.
He was having to much fun watching them.
Grind them till they fit!
This video was absolutely amazing to watch. Definitely one of my favorites. So good to see family come together.
There's a whole lot of "I'll pretend I didn't see that" in the first 10 minutes of this one. 😂
What an awesome video guys!! girls rock in the shop@@
Looking forward for the next one. Thanks for letting us hang out
The magic is see between you two and the love that radiates from you both is something I’ve looked for all my life. I hope someday I will get to experience what you two have together.

So awesome seeing your sister start off with the look of fear and finish with "What can I do next?" Great episode!
Great seeing Abby for my first time. Beauty certainly runs in the family 👍
Owww! I felt that when the wrench bit back! Brought back such fond memories of me and my Dad wrenching on my first cars! Always good for anyone to learn how to wrench on their own vehicle! So satisfying when all is done and you can stand back and say - "I did that". Great to see the whole family involved. Have a great day!
You guys are awesome together way to cute 🎉🎉🎉❤❤get job !!! New nickname for sis Sparky😂😂😂😂😂😂
My clutch went out in my semi one time in Savannah, Ga. and that's the way I got it back home to my shop 120 miles away driving on back roads.
Such a great episode! Em was an excellent teacher, The Kid was great with the color commentary and camerawork and Abbey was a rock star and looked like she had no issues at all jumping in to do the work. Keep up the great work, ladies! (And Aaron, be careful with that hammock, I hear they’re easy to fall out of…😂)
When the “kid” gives the side eye, looks just like her Mom
When Abby said “yeah let’s do it” I though that pretty much summed up her attitude. She went after it and it was fun to see!
Such a fun episode !! good to see Aaron in a lighthearted mind set
First Vehicle HOOPTIE,,,, Chevy Cavalier
I taught all my kids how to shift like that in a 76 cabover Pete
What a great video. Not only are you helping someone out, you are also sharing your knowledge and having some great laughs at the same time.
Abby is so cute!
Great job Ladies!
A true All Girls Garage ! Bravo !
Excellent Family Video. thank you.
What's better than one beautiful lady fixing cars ? 2 beautiful ladies fixing cars ❤
Old trucks rock..easy to work on and tons of parts available
Awesome to see a family Involved.
Family working together, I absolutely loved this episode 👍😁❤️

I really enjoyed your group effort. Both my kids both drove 2001 Gran Marquis big safe boat.. I like 60-70 cars..
Great video showing the girls working together.
Your smiles are contagious !
Square body Chevy would be a good vehicle for the kid
You gals are doing amazing job 😊
I think y'all should give the kid the fury II/III don't remember which one it is exactly but that black Plymouth.

Aaron, Emily we're getting spoiled. Thanks for the video, have a good one and keep safe. Cheers Capetown ❤🇿🇦👌💯🇺🇲🇺🇲
My recommendation for first car is a 1969 Mach 1 mustang and help her do a total restomod on it with upgraded brakes and such
Arron looking healthy and strong , so happy for that .
Good family activities! I miss the days when my girls were that young.
I’ve got to get me some of that knockers loose. 😊
Awe the kid is back
Aaron try to find a Superbeetle for the first car project.
