But in recent years the buyers have seen more and more recalls and that's with all the Big 3 and Honda Toyota Hyundai it is just happening too often and the public is saying oh well it happens with all cars the automakers that's just being too easy on them.
Hi. I do ceramic coatings also. Actually trying to start a business. My question is how do you ceramic coat the frame? Or areas under the hood? Thanks so much! Your skills are amazing!
7-level quality. I would use 9-level quality, but all the 9-levels I knew never turned a wrench, so I have no context. You USAF vets know what I am talking about.
Several years ago I bought a new vehicle and it didn’t take long for the dash to show sun damage. Dealership said not to park it in the sun. I appreciate what you’re going through with the top on the Bronco. In the final analysis, the sun has been in existence a very long time and I think it’s incumbent upon the manufacturers to take ownership in this. It’s like saying the reason my boat leaks is because it’s in the water. Just my opinion.
hard agree, and I think it's reasonable to assume something they display outside at the dealership is sunproof, so the dealer is assuming customers will think so too. It's such a reasonable assumption that if it's not true, they need a warning sticker or something- not just having the dealer tell you if you ask.
The dealership assumes everyone who walks in the door is stupid. When they do that I usually put them in their place pretty quickly. If the dealer gets stupid do not be afraid to ask for a manufacturer's zone representative. I had an 86 Bronco II that started to peel paint and the dealer said, "They all do that.". Called in the Ford rep and they said, "No they don't." right in front of the service manager. Ford paid to have the truck painted twice since the dealer messed up the first time and Ford went crazy on them. If you are right stick to your guns and go up the corporate ladder.
Sarah is 100% right about the longevity of cars. Back in the late 50s and early 60s it wasn't unusual for a car to need a valve job at 50 or 60,000 MI, it was expected. Oil changes were every 3,000 MI max. A car going 100,000 mi was considered a big deal. It was wise to sell your car at about 80,000 mi to get a new one. Now we have Toyotas all over the place that are for sale with over 250,000 miles still going strong. My Dodge caravan has 200,000 mi on it and hasn't missed a lick. My SVT has 147,000 mi on it and is still a stormer. Cars today are way better than old cars. They get better gas mileage the performances better you get more horsepower for the buck they last longer they look better longer and they have more features for in a for inflation-adjusted dollars still cost the same
In the 50s and 60s, there were garages near steep inclines that specialised in re-metalling main bearings and repairing radiators. Overheating and running main bearings was a common occurrence back then.
and with that all being said there are multiple car companies over the last few years that are either replacing the top end or ENTIRE engine of vehicles, because they are failing under 50k miles.
Agreed. German cars especially get a bad rap, but if one takes care of them, they can last for a long time. My 05 GTi has 180k miles on it and still pulls as hard as when I bought it 12 years ago. Aside from some electrical gremlins and a bad vacuum line, I have had no issues. But I do all its maintenance items on schedule, change the oil every 5k with high quality oil and filter. It doesn't take much time or money to maintain a car well.
Also how safe they are. Being in EMS I see crashes, and old vehicles literally tear apart like tissue paper once the speed and force goes high enough and the steel can't take the strain anymore. I've worked with several people who lost their front teeth going into a steering wheel or dash that wasn't padded with rubbers or plastics.
As a LEO, I can tell you newer cars are way safer. Older cars were built like tanks , but people inside are not. I love the look of older cars but wont ever buy one.
I think I need a "Sarah" friend in my life...one who has a shop....works on cars....has excellent musical tastes....and a great sense of dry humor. Magnificent.
Frequent oil changes are critical for longevity. Our 2005 4Runner recently hit 380,000 miles and the engine runs like a top. Transmission fluid changes every third year along with brake fluid, power steering fluid, and coolant. We also regularly use chemicals; Fuel treatments and oil treatments.
Glad you mentioned the detailing products looking like a Periodic table elements, as that was the first thing that came to mind, when you first introduced it on the channel.😊
if its a periodic table of detailing, does that mean there will be hypothetical products and products that only last for fractions of a second? Can we infer the existence of future products by the properties of existing ones?
It’s refreshing to find a car channel on this site that’s not constantly fearmongering about every new vehicle under the sun! That’s why you do your research and understand that new models of anything are going to have issues and quirks that will be sorted out over time in newer generations.
You are the BEST! I love your Spotify playlists, I love your jokes, I love you products ( just got my Bleep bloop whatever package) and I LOVE YOUR QUALITY WORK. You are THE BOMB!
i used to work for a JL dealer for a long time. people constantly complain about the cost of a stealth box but they ALWAYS performed. buy once cry once.
im sure any car enthusiast will remember the E66 bmw 750li valve stem seals. I had one of these cars and the oil was changed every 4000 miles, and NEVER had any oil loss/valve stem seals failures. it was tied to people doing oil changes every 7500-10k miles. or as Sarah says, dont treat it like an appliance.
You are absolutely spot on: Maintenance and care will make any car last longer. It's really nice to see your entusiasm when you wash and polish this beauty of a car. Well done.
Love it. I’ve been an A&P mechanic for over 20 years. My mantra is. Nice clean sterile installation. Your work has that. I have a Jeep WJ Grand Cherokee that we wheel in, love it. lots of making stuff to make stuff fit . As well as making stuff , to make the after market stuff, well… work. On of the things I use , for example after market lights controller and relay box, industrial Velcro. We live in Florida, it holds up to the heat and the off road, not quite smooth rides. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I have a 2019 Lexus Gx with the smaller Toyota V8. So reliable, over 110k and no signs of being loose, or rattles. I do 5k oil changes Mobile 1 since new. It is used as intended, daily driver and off road use. Impressive off road capability. Easy to work on. Very impressed with what you do, I would love to buy one of your used cars.
So many of your soundbites in this video are spot on, but the common thread of it all is your attitude towards appreciating and maintaining a meticulous attention to fundamental upkeep. “No one will do a better job than the person who paid for it” is the most important message here. As a die hard car lover and DIY’r, I’ve preached this forever. Take great care of your stuff and it will take care of you. If nothing else gets through, the change your oil every 3-4K miles with today’s engines & oils is an absolute must. Bless you for your hitting all the key points! PS: attacking the ceramic coating after 15 hours of audio upgrading grants you some serious next level hard core car fanatic bonifides. Kudos! I couldn’t have done it! 🥵
Love the way you thoughtfully plan out functional and modest upgrades that add to the vehicle driving experience. As opposed to upgrades that are money pits just for the sake of appearance.
My wife and I ordered a 4 door Outer Banks Sasquatch with a MIC top the second day. Waited 2.5 years and gave up on it, precisely because of the MIC top. I wound up buying a Ranger, which is essentially a Bronco pickup.
As always, I am floored by the attention to detail. These vehicles are kept so clean. Watching Sarah has changed my attitude on how I work on my own cars. I now clean parts, covers, bolts/nuts, as I put them back. Did order the 3-pack of Sarah's products and will use them for the first time this weekend. Sarah's vehicles truly must be the best condition cars on earth.
Why I love Sarah’s channel. Never know what you’re gonna see. Old cars, new cars, v8’s wedged in old 4banger rides, traumatized penguins lmao 😂 it’s a variety show! 😆
Wow, second vid I've seen of channel. Informational, entertaining, high production - script, cutting, seamless narration to live description... Sarah comes across hilarious, hot, and more knowledgeable on vehicles than myself and most youtubers and just cool without being obnoxious... so enjoyable AND learned a bit that I can actually use.
My Bronco is pretty much the same age as yours. Goes out of warrantee in early December. It has been really reliable - and I am pretty rough with her. It is my dream car so I plan on keeping it for a long, long time. Gonna cross 36k in December, probably. Thanks for the content.
Just bought a '22 2 door manual Big Bend package. As a 6 year USAF avionics tech and a 34 year airline avionics tech, I enjoy watching you work. Details matter and you're on it.
I caught those C-130s in storage as you drove to the dealer. They are the aircraft of my Air Force career, and like you, after 26 years of flying them, I have some hearing loss. I have to turn the TV up when the dishwasher is running in the kitchen. Maybe I need to get a quieter dishwasher or just upgrade the sound system in my Rav4. 🙃😆 And by the way, thank you for your service.
I feel the exact same way about having some one else working on my cars, or just about anything else for that matter. I've had many experiences where I've had to redo what was done by a repair person, because of shoddy workmanship or just plain ineptitude . As a result, I've developed a big trust issue when to comes to letting someone gets their hands on just about everything I have. I just turned 71, when the time comes, I'm convinced it will in my garage with a wrench clenched in my hand. I love watching your work... a true maestro of mechanics at work.
Just love this Bronco and all the mods you've done. I found your site while looking up info after purchasing our Baby Bronco back in 2021. Still watching and enjoying all of your projects!
I watch quite a few car upgrade videos and I have to say you are a hoot to listen to. Kiddos for you skills and attention to details..I am blown away away watching you
My wife's Ranger Tremor we have had for 3 year as of mid October with 17K now on the odometer, The only issues to report is a crack in the drivers seat bolster handled under warranty and a tire replacement we handled as my wife ran over a carriage bolt. Very happy with the little mule...
Except the 90s had plenty of unreliable trash in its midst, just because a few brands/engines were bulletproof doesn’t mean the whole decade was. You’re seeing the past through rose colored glasses, Ford in the 90s was awful, and they weren’t the only ones.
@@dasmg The 80's and 90's in general are now regarded as the golden age of reliable vehicles. Just because American Manufacturers were turning out sht in those years doesn't mean most people weren't buying Toyotas. Cars made in the USA were known to suck and the results of that were clear economically. Why Toyotas and not Fords? Because reliability.
As an owner of a 2023 Ford Bronco Heritage Edition with the 2.7 ecoboost and 4 doors I absolutely love it. I’ve had it for a little over a year now and waited a year and a half after I ordered it to finally get it. No regrets it’s a fun vehicle.
Cars today (relatively speaking) are of much better quality than ever. I’m 53 and old enough to remember the carburetor engines with manual chokes, 3 speed transmissions, floor boards that rusted out after two winters, weak heaters, 8 cylinder engines that made 170 horsepower, and exhaust systems that were replaced every time we elected another president. There’s a reason they only had 5 digits on the odometer.
I remember when I started as a mechanic in the early 80's that we would be working on every car every 12,000 miles. This is not including oil changes every 3000 or 3 months. Tune ups, valve cover gaskets, v belts all lasted about 12,000-15,000 miles in most cases. A tune up wasn't just spark plugs back then, it included adjusting carb, points and condenser, setting timing...A car was usually considered junk at 100,000 miles. Cars today are far more technical, more powerful, safer, lower emissions and far more reliable. Yet I still love the old stuff, like my 62 C10. :)
Love the little TH-cam/research at the end with the bracket mount for the hinged door at the end reminding us that even the most knowledgeable still need more info!
I love your videos. I have been following this automotive passion for a very long time. Your parents have to be so proud of what you have accomplished. The Bronco is awesome. I have a 22 Ford F150 Tremor which I like very much and treat it in the same manner. Also restoring, building a 66 Mustang Fastback and a 69 Mach1.
We got a25 Camry in August and will be babying it as long as we own it. Had it ceramic coated and tint at the dealer. First thing bought for it was the center arm test cover. Changed the oil at 950 miles and will do it every 5k as long as we own it. It will live outside so ceramic coat is a must and also a windshield screen. Next up is clear bra and snow tires.
You're absolutely correct. I have owned 3 Jaguars and 5 Peugeot, now on my 6th. All of those cars have been great. No major issues except for the normal servicing, tyres, or damage to suspension due to use.. (roads in the UK are poorly maintained). Manufacturers dont set out to design or build bad cars! Its not in their interests. Yes... You may come across a troublesome vehicle, its going to happen, it shouldn't but it does but its then up to the individual to challenge the garage or manufacturer to put the wrongs correct, especially if under guarantee. Just do your research before buying.
Great video, I love long term reviews, really lets us understand the true ownership experience. Fun fact, my first new car was an Alfa Romeo Spider Graduate, I changed the oil on it every 2,000 miles, great ownership experience.
Sarah, if you made 10 videos about the Bronco or any other vehicle, we'll have fun watching you, watch the paint dry 😂. Love your channel and ALL the content you create.
"We are sorry Sarah, we determined the PIAA lights are causing the roof to crack. We are unfortunately going to have to void the last 2 weeks of your warranty."
Wow! First time I've seen a TH-cam channel with a former aircraft mechanic working on their cars. I love the attention to detail, and keeping everything clean. A clean bird is a happy bird! Also, I feel a LOT less insane for my OCD helicopter mechanic ways when working on vehicles!
Sarah, i love the icons you use in the video for your detailling products! ☺ Look so much like the periodic table of elements. In the table there is still space for an element "Sa" 😉- the element of cleansiness
Any of my detailing products seen in this video can be purchased on my website. Made in USA too! www.sarahntuned.com
Thank you Sarah for the bomb dignity play list. Woo!
I drink nothing but 100% Sarah-n-Tuned cleaning products when I work on my cars. Makes a huuuuge difference
But in recent years the buyers have seen more and more recalls and that's with all the Big 3 and Honda Toyota Hyundai it is just happening too often and the public is saying oh well it happens with all cars the automakers that's just being too easy on them.

Snap-on flush cut diagonal cutters. You went to sawing zip ties with that razor and all I saw was blood and heartache over nicked wires.
Sarahs attention to detail is what everyone wants and needs in an aircraft mechanic.
7-level quality. I would use 9-level quality, but all the 9-levels I knew never turned a wrench, so I have no context.
You USAF vets know what I am talking about.

We All need a Sarah in our lives.😊
Maybe Elon can make us one. 😆
Smelling cables is another reason we all love Sarah
You're absolutely right. A vehicle is only as good as the person who drives and maintains it.
Maybe but no one buys a new car and expect to have problems at 10k.
Three years? Wow… I remember when you first showed us the Bronco. I remember the wheels, the fenders…
Sarah, I can honestly say that I wish you were my mechanic. I’m sure a lot of people feel the same way.
100 %
Amen brother
My wife actually
Nah, Id rather not have a mechanic hand wave away my concerns about a truck I paid 70-90k for not 3 years ago...
I love it when a Plan Comes Together!
An A-team fan?
I have a concept of a plan.
"No one is going to do better work than the person paying for the vehicle." Exactly what I say...now I just need to find the time to live up to this.
"... just goes to show some of us intentionally try to struggle with life"
lol. Truth
Sarah is a talented lady, able to kill two rocks with one chicken.
Penguin 😂
Lol.

"Some of us intentionally try to struggle with life" is the truest. thing anyone has ever said. An easy life is a boring life

You’re exactly right about changing the oil more frequently than what the dealer recommends. They just want to sell you a new vehicle .
All these “experts” will argue they know better.. with their sludge deposit filled, oil burning engines lol.
and jiffy lube wants to sell oil changes
The Bronco that was used in the JL Audio Stealthbox instructions was ours, they did the final QA. Great to see it installed on yours.

There can be no doubt that larger displacement, naturally aspirated, non-direct injected, metal timing chain engines are substantially more reliable.
I've seen ford trucks from the 90s with more mileage than most Toyotas would ever have
As an owner of a 2023 Ford Bronco Heritage Edition with the 2.7 ecoboost and 4 doors I absolutely love it. I’ve had it for a little over a year now and waited a year and a half after I ordered it to finally get it. No regrets it’s a fun vehicle.
Cars today (relatively speaking) are of much better quality than ever. I’m 53 and old enough to remember the carburetor engines with manual chokes, 3 speed transmissions, floor boards that rusted out after two winters, weak heaters, 8 cylinder engines that made 170 horsepower, and exhaust systems that were replaced every time we elected another president. There’s a reason they only had 5 digits on the odometer.
I remember when I started as a mechanic in the early 80's that we would be working on every car every 12,000 miles. This is not including oil changes every 3000 or 3 months. Tune ups, valve cover gaskets, v belts all lasted about 12,000-15,000 miles in most cases. A tune up wasn't just spark plugs back then, it included adjusting carb, points and condenser, setting timing...A car was usually considered junk at 100,000 miles.
Cars today are far more technical, more powerful, safer, lower emissions and far more reliable.
Yet I still love the old stuff, like my 62 C10. :)
Door sill plates are fire 🔥
Love the little TH-cam/research at the end with the bracket mount for the hinged door at the end reminding us that even the most knowledgeable still need more info!
Glad Pokey is still running strong.
I love your videos. I have been following this automotive passion for a very long time. Your parents have to be so proud of what you have accomplished.
The Bronco is awesome. I have a 22 Ford F150 Tremor which I like very much and treat it in the same manner.
Also restoring, building a 66 Mustang Fastback and a 69 Mach1.
You are completely nuts! 👍🏻😂
Great video on new Bronco accessories. Hope Ford takes care of that top!
Thank You Sarah - beep bop boop. 👍
We got a25 Camry in August and will be babying it as long as we own it. Had it ceramic coated and tint at the dealer. First thing bought for it was the center arm test cover. Changed the oil at 950 miles and will do it every 5k as long as we own it. It will live outside so ceramic coat is a must and also a windshield screen. Next up is clear bra and snow tires.
You're absolutely correct. I have owned 3 Jaguars and 5 Peugeot, now on my 6th. All of those cars have been great. No major issues except for the normal servicing, tyres, or damage to suspension due to use.. (roads in the UK are poorly maintained). Manufacturers dont set out to design or build bad cars! Its not in their interests. Yes... You may come across a troublesome vehicle, its going to happen, it shouldn't but it does but its then up to the individual to challenge the garage or manufacturer to put the wrongs correct, especially if under guarantee. Just do your research before buying.
My 2021 Tremor is still running like a champ, (knocks on wood). Great video!
I'm more and more convinced Sarah is a gallifreyan timelord with videos of four days worth of work and editing coming every three days.
YES!! TRUTH!! So cool to see a Doctor Who reference in one of Sarah's video's comments section. I believe we would get along well.
I remember how happy you were when Pokey arrived. Can't believe it's been 3 years!
Holy Crap! Three years already?!?!
@RecklessFables - agreed
Great video, I love long term reviews, really lets us understand the true ownership experience. Fun fact, my first new car was an Alfa Romeo Spider Graduate, I changed the oil on it every 2,000 miles, great ownership experience.
You are so quacking cool. Love your passion✨
Fantastic work on this video. Honest to the point and unbiased automotive journalism 👏
Sarah, if you made 10 videos about the Bronco or any other vehicle, we'll have fun watching you, watch the paint dry 😂. Love your channel and ALL the content you create.
Love the nuts and bolts, no nonsense, and fun style of your videos. Easiest subscribe of my life.
"We are sorry Sarah, we determined the PIAA lights are causing the roof to crack. We are unfortunately going to have to void the last 2 weeks of your warranty."
Lol
Wow! First time I've seen a TH-cam channel with a former aircraft mechanic working on their cars. I love the attention to detail, and keeping everything clean. A clean bird is a happy bird!
Also, I feel a LOT less insane for my OCD helicopter mechanic ways when working on vehicles!
As always really informative, interesting, and entertaining....addictive trifecta 😁👍
And quirky funny 😊
Sarah, i love the icons you use in the video for your detailling products! ☺
Look so much like the periodic table of elements. In the table there is still space for an element "Sa" 😉- the element of cleansiness
i would watch two videos in a row about your bronco. just saying
I love that you clean everything before working on the vehicle, and cleaning as you go. My OCD thanks you! Glad the bronco has been reliable!
10:51 Nice door sills!
@SarahnTuned1 bogus account alert!!!!
i did the JL 10" with the JL 500w in my Power Wagon 3 years ago, great choice, still love mine!
Hello Sarah who reviews cars.
