GONE FROM A BEATER WITH A HEATER TO A CLASSIC THATS FANTASTIC
instaBlaster...
New headlights.
New battery cables.
Fixed the door.
A “bonding experience.”
And a FREE SCREWDRIVER!
Man, it must feel good to win one sometimes.
I am a female, and am a certified mechanic in everything but transmission rebuilding, but ran a cemetery instead of trying to continue working for a Chrysler dealership, which my ADHD couldn't handle. Most woman don't like the garage, so props to the wife for helping you, I have seen her help you before, and think it was cute. My grandpa, and dad taught me most of what I know, and growing up around farm equipment gives you a lot to fix. God bless you all.
The projects never end!
@@chickenmaster7069 loser
@@chickenmaster7069 Odd thing to say....
Just out of curiosity, did you grow up with sisters?
@ Alan, I never had a problem with the guy's I hired, because I told them what I expected from day one. I hired this one guy, and he had a wife and kid. I got a complaint on a grave he topped and seeded, and it looked bad. I took the guy to the grave, and said look at this grave, how would you feel if your f...ing wife was buried here. The guy was like, you didn't have to say it like that. One of my best worker's, always did a good job after that. I never hired any female's, because I didn't want to deal with any drama. The ladies that worked in sales, and administration were in a different building than the shop. I saw how they flirted with some of the girl's, and that was all I needed to know, only had to fire one guy for getting out of line. I had to do building maintenance as well as burials, equiptment, and helping out at other cemeteries, but never got any disrespect. I was a working supervisor, and could keep up with anyone, and usually outwork them, because Ib cared about the people who came there for burials, and to visit loved one's. I worked in rain, sleet, snow, or any weather, which gets you hardened up. Give people respect, and they will respect you. God bless.
@@stillliving5899 I hear you, I guess you had a bad experience and I see why you’d try to avoid the drama thing.
For me, hiring more women was the best decision, helped my business grow, female customers often felt way more comfortable talking to a female mechanic.
I feel there is a good balance to be met in every business so I understand why your personal choices may differ and see why Alan has commented.
All the best, stay safe in these times.
Andrew Camarata has a good tutorial about fixing door latch and saggy hinges : )
He sure does just seen him remove a cat dozer starter motor with a skid steer lol true Camarata style 😎
@@Lee-At-Green-Pheonix-Rc I think using a skid steer to break the starter out is in the CAT service manual tho?
Hold door with crane, attach new vehicle
@@darrenw2803 Yea lol just uploaded it
@@RyJones I think 🤔 he's voided the warranty on it because he use a bobcat not a cat skid steer 🤣🤣🤣
Happy to hear you say you were going to adjust the headlights, too many people don’t know how to do that these days. Nothing is more irritating or dangerous than an oncoming car blinding you because the lights are misadjusted. I gave a thumbs up for the wife I think she earned it for putting up with you. 👍🏻
"The lady" is hilarious. Need to see more of her garage antics!
אִם יִרְצֶה הַשֵּׁם
For sure, she's great!
:-D
Oh, es-tu sérieux !?
"Ow, I feel old." Hahaha! So relatable.
Always good stuff Matt. Don’t forget to give the wife lots of praise for helping you..You never know when you need that extra hand.
She just wanted to learn this time but shes been thrust into emergency service a few times and always ends up pulling it off well!
Matt, your look when your wife asked if it was supposed to go the other way when she was removing the headlights was PRICELESS. I had to rewind it just to watch it over and over!🤣🤣🤣. Good on her to get it done. She’s learning and that’s what matters
Long blinks into camera, "Classic". "A" for effort, she did good.
I think she may have wallered out those screws a bit...
I still prefer to use a hand screwdriver, for jobs like that...
Yeah , but noticed she used excellent trigger control!
"It's your car, it doesn't matter." - Beautiful Wife
Thanks for sharing and hope she's in more videos. Loved her commentary !!!
"Everything's kinda dirty in here. It's a garage."
Yep. I clean up my basement every few years whether it needs it or not.
Buy your wife some red roses. She did a good job there putting the new headlights in! Most women are "gas and go" types, my girlfriend didn't check the oil in her Ford Taurus until I found it two quarts low. I check EVERYTHING on her car now. My ex-wife blew the engine out of her Ford Windstar, what a mess that was. I still have it. Replaced the engine, did some renovating on the interior, now it is a camper with lights, stereo, and TV with a swing out kitchen. Real comfy for the two of us. Now checking out a roof air conditioner for those hot August night's.
I use to be that kind of girl until I met Matt. He’s taught me a lot but really got me to be more independent and to know what goes where and if something is really wrong with the car.
Or...get a newer vehicle and it will tell you if the oil is low...plus other troublesome issues! Just sayin. 😉
@@kathyusa-iowa5137 And a load of more electricals to go wrong for no real reason just because can't be bothered to do basic checks.
Agreed. I know next to nothing about cars but even I know they need coolant and oil. After a year of asking the the ex how she was maintaining her car (spoiler, nothing at all) I insisted on doing it myself before the engine seized because she wouldn't. And take it in for servicing. Mechanic said the shocks were completely wrecked and about to drive through the body...
So great work there Ms Creek. ☺
@@evasimone2859 you did a good job! Keep it up. I love that your willing to be on camera!
Thanks again Matt. Good that you're wife doesn't mind wrenching a little. My wife helps me occasionally. Have a wonderful day folks.
“High beams that see into the future” as I drive at night, other people’s low beams are brighter than my high beams
Yes my dump truck is that way as well
Yeah. These 19 year old bubbas think they have to have off-road 4X4 lights on the highway.
And, they have to be colored anything but the normal. Maybe it's because they think everyone else spits snuff out the window also.
@@robj2704 Not only dumb teens, "adults" too. The other nigh, I flashed a dumb damn Ram owner who had an off-road truck wide LED bar mounted under his front grill. In our suburb downtown street... He retaliated by lighting his LED high beams. 😤
What the douch did'nt see is a cop car 2 cars behind me. Ha, the cop did a u turn and stopped him ! Sweet karma ! 🤣
Facts, I have a 95’ Jeep Cherokee.
It's not even that their low beams are too bright. Real problem is no one aims their headlights. At most once per year I see someone with properly aimed, bright LED headlights that shine their light on the road and not directly into my eyeballs.
Huge respect for your wife, she WANTS to help and do it! That's willpower and determination. Thumbs up!
Your wife is a trooper lol. The eye rolls are classic lol
Oh Dam she said' "it's your car it doesn't matter." Wow your wife sounds just like mine.😳🤯
Kind of different from the hysterical squealing that occurs when madam’s shopping trolley makes an unusual noise !
Run, young man, RUN ! Not too late, ya know ! Run ! 😨
She is him Sister
andrew camarata would be proud of your door repair
Not at all! The only way to fix a door is to take a jack and jack the whole truck up! Then it's fixed! Haha! Good comment!
But he didn’t need a chainsaw?!?
@@peterg.8245 that would work! I guess Andrew has a new technique! Using heavy equiptment to remove starters and also using torches!
It was so good to see you go the extra effort and weld that hole in.
Door pins go in from the top. Its so they dont drop out. :)
I just put them in the way the factory did... they have good clips to hold them.
@@DieselCreek you went further than i would have,i would have just weld a washer on it hahahahha by the way when mama comes out to help is first sign she wants the toy for herself ,which is good,means more toys for you to buy hahahah, i did notice the eye roll too hahah
@@DieselCreek The "fac-tree" welds the pins at the top. Top down goes the bolts.
The bathroom door in our house had a catch that didn’t line up to it’s latch pole. I fixed that sucker and everyone seems much happier! 😂😂. Hi Mrs.Diesel! Way to represent! 🙋🏻♀️
Your apprentice did a fine job fitting those lights.
not too bad for a rookie.
And she didn't even break a nail
Do the underside with waxy now
All right, finally have good help! She needs a raise. Wow the autocar will be finished sooner !
Maybe he should have her do an in-frame on the Autocar!
Best parts of Friday: 1. Payday. 2. New Diesel Creek video.
Automatic thumbs up for the screaming HOT PINK SAFETY CROCS!!!! Mrs. Diesel Creek wins the internet for the day.
surely the CROCS should only be worn for new year burnouts whilst having a snack
Is that the OHSA song I hear in the background?
She's a gutsy one! Love that she's willin. Now you need to cook something with her in charge.
Good to see her learn to help, and want to. Maybe you should do a series; Teach her how to change a flat, Teach her how to check the fluids (in whatever she drives), Teach her how to do an oil change. All sorts of little things that it would be good for her to know, like how to use the pew pew.
Disclaimer. No fingernails were damaged making this video. Great job Mrs Creek.
From the intro Matt it looks like you've dyed Diesel Creek green for St. Paddy's day. LED lights are the way to go, much brighter for sure. I've been married almost 49 years Matt and I'm not sure my wife knows where the garage is at. Good to see Mrs. Matt pitching in with the lights. This is why I like your channel Matt, never know what you're going to do next. Sparks flying, welding, fabricating, it doesn't get any better than that. You and yours stay healthy and safe and tell Roscoe and Meatball I said hello. Cheers from this old retired coot living the dream in Tennessee.💖 👍 😷 🍻 ✌
That's a really cool Jeep, you named it without realizing it "Plinko" is a perfect name nice upgrades you've made it way more dependable.
nothing as satisfying as having your wife help when working on a vehicle and you have the perfect help she's hilarious 😆 and handy with that screw gun too make sure you buy her something nice 😁, love 💕 the relationship.
I am glad to see your wife getting more involved. I enjoy watching you work on these projects. Keep it up.
Dang Matt she sure is a looker!! Good job man she seems like a good woman 👍👍
Lol the blinking code when she asked about turning the driver direction when going to the other side of the light!
How many noticed? I sure did 😆
I got the blinking, what was he "saying"?
;-)
Reminded me of the American POW that blinked the word TORTURE in Morse code......
@@swilliams2575 :-D
Hi, Mrs. Diesel! It was a pleasure to meet you.
GOOD TO KNOW that there are still American Businesses out there that still know Quality in Workmanship. Yes, those cables are on steroids, but all the better along with your comments. BEST Advertising they can get is a happy camper on National/Worldwide media.
My neighbor had a light out on his wife's car. He didn't ask her to change it, cause you had to take the front wheel and inner fender out of the way. Yea, it's a 3 hour flat rate job to change one little bulb! Gotta love engineers !
Yeah, I have a 2011 Outback. I know of what you speak. I finally replaced the halogens with LEDs. They have lasted two years with no problems. Easier is to take the bumper cover off and detach the light assembly. I have a boatload of plastic fender / bumper cover fasteners.
"HAPPINESS IS A DOOR THAT CLOSES!" slam, slam, slam, slam😁😉😷👏👏👏
I've had one of those doors before so I know the pain.
You are a video star. Your wife learns fast and is a good mechanic. But in the garage, pink must go. Smiles
I’m new to the channel and been watching all the heavy diesel stuff. Had a ‘87 Cherokee Laredo with the same dang engine 20 years ago…been smiling and laughing watching this series remembering all the rusted sheet metal, seized bolts, etc. thank you! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Hey, I think you’re one lucky guy, your wife is just as big a personality as you! She’s ADORABLE, and she got it all figured out in the end!
Looks like somebody bled out on that floor board 😂 hey! Stop throwing the new parts around! This is a great beater with a heater. Can’t wait to see more.
Excellent repair to the driver's side front-door!
Great upgrades with the headlamps; and the electrical cables! It was cool to see you include your lovely wifee-poo!
Well done, Matt!
Love how most of the time when a bolt or something wont come loose, it's swears for years, but this guy stays clean somehow! Mind blown!
Amazing what you have done to bring the beast back from the dead. Great to see you getting your better half involved, a lot of fellas wouldn't do that. Fair play to you mate!!
Now that’s a good woman to help her hubby out!!
LOVED that your wife came over to help, and that all to familiar look you gave the camera at 32:55 cracked me up
You did that Plinko and I just busted out laughing, my wife came from the room to see what was so funny.
Good job. Some people try to do an LED conversion on head lights that take bulb and don't realize there are like 300 different lamps. Just because they fit doesn't mean it's correct. Many factors like light pattern from bulb, focal distance, how it works with the parabolic reflector. End result-bad match and they blind people coming down the road. Your sealed unit style is a perfect match, just take in account if you weight in the back which will make them beam higher. Nice to see your helper out there.
Great video again. Always look forward to seeing what you’re fixin. Fun to see the better half getting involved. Thanks for sharing. Peace
Love your XJ videos! It's great seeing someone who really knows how to turn a wrench, and produce a decent video. Cheers from the Lehigh Valley! 🍻
Great having your wife help with the install shes a champ
Welcome to the Jeep world, I've done everything you did to yours to my wife's 1994 Grand Cherokee Laredo. By the way she's had it longer than she's had me. Love seeing Mrs. Diesel Creek helping out, some wife's don't have a clue about keeping a vehicle on the road.
Matt, you are very smart to let her get some confidence doing simple jobs and using tools. That's how we all learned and when I see someone that encourages and helps others do it I'm impressed.
"It's your car, it doesn't matter" Best Wife Line I have heard to date! LMAO!
Very nice to see Mrs Diesel Creek coming to help out with the light. Tell her to chip in some more and help out with the projects.
“If you’re gonna do it, over do it”. I love it!
Wife “I’m not taking these out”, comedy gold. Lol
This is why you Americans need to learn a lesson from us Canucks...
Use Robertson screws wherever possible.
So once the boss lady gets you all trained up on this mechanicing stuff do you think she'll let you upgrade the Ariats to a matching pair of pink Croc's? 😂 She's awesome! You guys make a great team.
Who hoo too funny!
It may be the beater with a heater, but we got a quick glimpse of your heater at your 8 O'Clock in the black leather holster. Didn't realize you were southpaw shooter.
I may be a great grandmother, and I will never know mechanics, but I have to say, I do get joy from you laughing when I see something happen that to me is funny!
"Aww, wha happan??"
Sum ting wong.

Mrs. Diesel Creek he took the show!! Buy him gloves, spare his hands and nails. The door was good, the lights were great. Congratulation!
"It's your car...it doesn't matter." genuinely made me laugh :)
“Awww, what happen??” absolutely killed me for no reason😂
at least someone likes my comedy!
@@DieselCreek Pug whun fan? me too.
@@DieselCreek sounded like kevin talbot after one of his epic wrecks 😁
@@av8or4951 I watched him years ago back in the Dave’s farm days but not a lot since. I actually got that line from a guy I used to work with.
Not only can it see into the future, but it can now shou the door to the past. lol.
Patience of Job! You did good letting her do the lights. Enjoy all your videos. I don’t comment much but try to give thumbs up.
My brother has a veteran Jeep Patriot. I may suggest the Headlight upgrade. I doubt he has the patience for the wiring work. Speaking of Upgrades, having your Lady in the video is very welcome. He is based in Montana, so better lights might help, especially with stock wiring. Than you all for a nice video God Bless you both.
wife struggling to align screw with hole - someone leans on wing + car dips an inch - bad man

"It's your car. It doesn't matter."
REKT!
Great video. Was glad to see your wife at work again.She is pretty,talented and trying!!!!Hope to se the team working together again real soon.
Had a 1991 Jeep Cherokee Laredo new and it lasted a very long time. Finally sold it and saw it going for years. The straight 6 cyl are good engines.
I hate the LED head lights they blind you even on low
It's not even that their low beams are too bright. Real problem is no one aims their headlights. At most once per year I see someone with properly aimed, bright LED headlights that shine their light on the road and not directly into my eyeballs.
@@johndeerekid167 it's the glare from the white light they put out that gets me but I'm getting old so night driving is getting harder
@@barhawks7335 I will say the yellow tinged LEDs are much less harsh on the eyes. They seem to illuminate the road just as well with less glare. Too bad they're illegal in lots of places.
"... am I supposed to go the same way....?" (referring to unscrewing fasteners) (Matt nods)(Matt mugs at camera, Eyeblink!Eyeblink!)
LMAO!!!!!!!!!
Big props to you for getting lights with proper housing for your LEDS.
It's ALWAYS A GOOD DAY when Eva shows up #PrettyinPink ! Love those headlights!
The Internet - You're tightening cables?
Also The Internet - yOu'rE dOiNg iT wRoNg!!!
As Vice Grip would say, "that door is factree."
Yes I almost said that out of habit, but then everybody accuses me of copping vice grip
It's funny how us viewers who watch you, commonly watch the same channels on YT. You, Vice Grip, Andrew Camarata etc..
@@evanlinde89 it's called algorithm. Welcome to TH-cam
That has to be the most satisfying thing for your door to shut without the lift. I feel your pain and satisfaction I had to do the same thing to my jeep so much nicer. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.
Mrs. Diesel Creek did an awesome job putting in those headlights in the beater with a heater
@7:41 Junior, put the evidence in the car.
Your wife sounds and acts EXACTLY like mine, even if mine probably has 20 years on yours ;o) A tip: Mechanics gloves and/or latex gloves in her size helps protect her nails from breaking, getting scratched, or getting crud under them. Trust me - wives don't like that! ;o)
No no we do not! Haha
Gday Matt,
You forgot to edit out all the work shots of your lovely lady,,
Now we know who really fiixed the crane , bobcat , compactor ,
Your a lucky man Matt .
Much Respect
from
Down Under
Haha... ya You’ll never see her hands that greasy
Working together, for any length of time is a good sign for a marriage. All props to Mrs. Diesel, she hung in there and finished the job. Fixing up something old and beat and have it function again is way more satisfying than working on new stuff. ps The look you gave the camera when she was struggling with the first light.. gold, pure gold!
Plus the Mrs needs a headlamp...
The led bulbs don’t burn out, all the cheap Chinese electronics around them fail. Btw if you want to look at some crazy leds look at diode dynamics
Yep. A bit over a year ago, I bought about a dozen new LED lights for my shop. Cheap Chinese jobs. Two of them died in less than a week, and two more have died since. Took one of them apart a couple of weeks ago, and found a very swelled up electrolytic capacitor. It was one of the first that failed. Shows the “quality” of those cheap lights.........
Fully agree with you fishy on the crap chintronics on lights. Same story with house lightbulbs too ay? Very disappointing.
I’m still laughing at the little woman getting pissed about helping take bed off take old truck. Something like “your going to make me use up all my strength”
I just saw that one a couple of days ago, I'm still chuckling as well, along with "you almost made me break a nail"
I think having the wife help was very cool my wife loves to help me with car truck work love your videos keep it up
I think it’s awesome that your wife gets involved and helps from time to time. I appreciate you sir and wish y’all a merry Christmas. God bless.
33:00 mark... she’s gonna beat you when she sees the 😳🙄😳🙄
I saw it. Hit got a smack on the arm for it!
Wait, you're supposed to tighten battery terminals? That doesn't sound right
Just got home with an XJ I bought in Atlanta, super clean but it’s been sitting under a tree for at least 5 years but not a spot of rust and it runs! 95 Country edition, I live about 20 miles from the factory it was built in, Toledo Jeep Assembly... paid $500! I’m a Union Pipefitter but I also own a detailing business so I’m ready to put a shine on her and use it as a work beater... after new bumpers and a lift and tires and... yeah it’ll probably become another JEEP project like my 99 on 1 tons with 38’ Nittos or my ‘13 JKU RUBICON that’s got at least 70k in it.... yeah I love my Jeeps!
Ya got to love a door that works like it should.. Even better when that repair works out well too.
Thanks for the good laugh having your wife do the head lights..
Just remember that tail in the thumbnail draws the crowd. Hasn't Wes taught you anything yet?!
I keed!
"Good enough for your beater with a heater" is almost good enough to replace "Good enough for the girls I go out with" as my go to TH-cam catch phrase. LMAO
Can’t say that anymore the wife watches 😂👍🏼
@@DieselCreek my husband says it all the time. The look on others faces when he says it and I'm right there is priceless. That's if he gets to say it before I say "good enough for the girls you go out with" 🤣😂🤣

Your a keeper and your husband knows it . You’ve just gained a subscriber .
It's nice to see the lady helping out
Your vids have so many great one-liners and many that can have dual meanings for those of us that are warped......”you’re lined up, just push”.....but by far the best one today “it’s your car, it doesn’t matter”.
Hey Man! I got this card you sent me super super generous!!! Shoot me an email!! (dieselcreek@gmail.com)
Matt, you have a wonderful wife, she's a keeper!
First one for the chief!
Good stuff teaching the little lady to wrench it's good for people to learn new skills
Awesome upgrade! Great to see your wife helping you out, you both make a great team. Tks for sharing👍
