Congrats on the 100,000 plaque
Well deserved ~❤️
Good to watch you fighting Mother Nature. Keep fighting! Keep fighting! It's fun to watch how you fix everything.
Timmy, even here in VA, 2 - 3 weeks sitting in winter with even a good battery, it would be dead. I know because when my mother-in law goes out of town, we have to start her car so it doesn’t go dead. Keep on Truck-Housing!
Use silicone lube spray and use it on your door seals to keep the door of your 600$ car door from freezing shut.
Also Alaskan resident, works great.
Congratulations on the TH-cam plaque. Hang it in a prominent place in the Truck House. You AND the Truck earned it.👏 I bet the 'tweets' are happy you're home.
There is nothing like coming home from a long adventure and being in the place you love the most...welcome home!!!!!!
Congrats on the 100,000 Play Button🥳 I'm enjoying following along on your adventures, big or small. Thank you😁
Hey Timmy. Try the Schumacher SC1300 Fully Automatic Direct-Mount Under-the-Hood Battery Charger/Maintainer with Battery Detection - 1.5 Amp, 6V/12V - for Cars, Motorcycles, Lawn Tractors, Power Sports
Mounts directly underneath the hood, and all you have to do is plug an extension cord into it. Just trickle charge is your battery man. Saves your battery as well. I use it for my ATV at my cabin never have to worry about it not starting, at least due to the battery!
Just found your videos and love watching them. I lived in Kodiak for 3 years and miss Alaska a lot. The memory jogging views!
Check if you can adjust the hood rubber stops little higher by twisting. Should allow normal opening again. Wiping silicone lube on door seals will make it stop freezing shut.
I love these types of videos as much as the adventures! Keep on the good work Mr. Timmy.
Glad to be one of 100,000. Congratulations. Loving every minute of it.
Hey Timmy, so good to see you back in Alaska and starting the real fun. Looking forward to all the Winter activities.
Congrats on the plaque and reaching such a milestone. Glad you made it home safely.
You know you got a beater car when you open the door with a claw hammer! Lol
Very cool video, Timmy. Would be nice to see more videos of you doing projects around the house, like this.
Congratulations man, you are living the life
That was fun!! I've been on a lot of sled adventures in my life and this vid brought me right back.
Thank you for taking us along.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I live in Minnesota and that happens to everything here too! It all fails in the winter! Lol
Here's a trick for ya...after 40+ yrs of trucking in the north, get a can of silicone spray and use it on your weather stripping and window runners...you won't regret it.
Keep up the awesome work man so glad you do this for us.
Congratulations on the silver TH-cam!!!! Well deserved 👏 🙌
Timmy, can you give the snow mobil and equipment a shot of ether? Here in winter, rather than pulling until your tongue is dragging the ground, one shot and chain saws, snow blowers, etc and “Alaska, we have ignition”, lol
it just has fouled plugs
Truck looks great fun, also the cabin.
Nice going hope got machinery all sorted.
Sam
As soon as you started cleaning off your skidoo ramp I got anxiety over that thing being in videos again lol
That accident waiting to happen makes me cringe every time.
bahahaha
And now I watch this video 375,000 thousand...congratulations
I used to start a work car every 6 to 8 hours before needing it to run to get to work in Ohio winters, or bring the battery into my apartment. Stay warm..
Can’t wait for more! Thanks for sharing
Hey, Timmy, just take your time and get your chores done well, one by one. Before you know it, you will be done. Besides, your home is so beautiful, it deserves your tender loving care! And enjoy the rest of the winter. I'm here in Miami, and it's so darned hot I could just scream. I just wish it could at least get a little cool. Anything would be better than all this heat. But just the same, I'm making the most of it. Take care, and God bless.😊
Wow so happy for you and your plack Way to go…
I’m one who loves watching and learning from you
Timmy u need to show that old badass Toyota some respect n love, it'll save ur life someday
I just got back to Alaska yesterday. I parked my truck in the Dimond parking at the airport for 3 weeks. I came back to a completely dead battery. I guess that happens when you leave your dome light on. ha ha ha Live and learn. Got a new battery so i'm all good now.
Lol noooo!
Just out of curiosity, how often do your batteries get frozen up there? I live in Michigan, we have winter, but rarely sub zero for days. I would think after a few days at -30F it would freeze every battery that's not in use. Like you going away for a few weeks, would your battery had a chance with the dome light off?
@@dustyc324 this was my first. Lead acid batteries (if charged) are good for prolonged periods at temps of something like -40. In my case, I left the dome light on and left for 3 weeks. During that time was when north America got hit with that arctic cold.
@@MyAlaska12 That's pretty surprising. obviously the dome light was not your friend in this case. I figured you guys needed battery blankets or trickle chargers for the winter.
Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈🍾 Timmy
Using gun powder mixed with lighter fluid always starts my fleet of recreational vehicles buried in the the tundra next to some hoppy IPA. As far as dead batteries I’ve found mini Tesla coils and 500k volts takes the edge of those pesky dead cells hope these tips help ,
And take us on some Glacier Snowmobiling. That was surreal. Those glaciers are something else man.
Congratulations man!!
Welcome back home Tim! Looking forward to see more of the home life man!
You totally slaw me with your little sayings. And the cars name..lil Satan! Bwahahahaha! I'm so excited I found your channel! Congrats on 100,000!
100,000 subscribers! Making some money now! The wife and I were first introduced to you in Alaska Adventures. That's how we found out about your channel. Love your RV!!
Awesome, thanks Robert!
100k Congratulations Timmy🎉
You should get some battery tenders. I use battery tender brand on my ATV and motorcycle and then I have Master Force charger/maintainer on my vehicle's. They're great investments. They will save you time and prolong your batteries life.
This week on Vice Grip Garage I fly to Alaska to help a fella with some dead batrees. Theres a 97.6% chance that these going to town rigs wont start because its colder than Minnesota, sigh thats just great......
Congrats on the 100K!
love the idea of having the wood stove because like you pointed out, wood everywhere. you could survive in Truckhouse a long time if you had to.
Thank you Shelby:)
I love these homes so much potential.
This is a great video of in alaska, 0400 and 0 here , after -30 here in willow, been here 40 years, back when parks hyway was the little 2 lane no shoulder and windy back road north, , started watch cause I saw truck camper on Alaskan hyw, boy do I rember that trip, keep em coming, snow is 5 feet of sugar north, B safe
Great stuff Thanks
Looks like a garage is in order soon!
P.S. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 100,000 SUBSCRIBERS PLAQUE. GREAT JOB, TIMMY!!!
Girdwood the old highway on the side of the mountain use to be a interesting writer run, it a bike walking trail now , covering the old hyways would be good video, lots of interesting old hide places around the state, mii the birdhouse was a great place.
I've followed you longtime and is always an adventure
Congrulations on 100,000
Awesome buddy !
Congratulations!!
Living in the city is not a weakness it's not because we are weak or cannot live in the wilderness alone.. people who live in the wilderness alone are like remote places can't deal with other people.. people like to be a part of the pack people always go where people go.. even in your small town in Alaska you live with other people.. it's all and how you deal with life..
Once a battery dies and freezes, it's hooped
SO AWESOME!!!
Really enjoy your videos! From Washington state
Finally made it 😍😍
It is _so_ nice to have a place to go home to. Until today I didn't know you had a real home. :o
Love your cabin!
thanks!
nice man! It's going to be a good winter. But on a side note I went out yesterday in -20C and gave my ole 2006 rmk 700, three pulls and it fired right up hah.
nice!
Cool Skidoos love the scenery really like the video
good job on the 100k bro
Classic cold start shenaninganz
We don't really get enough snow for a snowmobile,but I've always wanted a 79 Chrysler sno-runner.
I love the artwork on the snow machine it reminds me of my neighbor Vanagon here in Portland he has a record store the artwork on it looks more like his old Volkswagen bus which got smashed
Another awesome video in the books.
great update video
Thanks 👍
You make Orange Chicken quite a lot. I can't remember if you showed what brand you usually get in a video, but I want to try it. What brand do you get?
trader joes is super good
@@TruckHouseLife Thanks. I'll try it.
The hood latch cracks me up! I had the same issue in my F-150 and I used a 5 hour energy bottle.
lol
After all that hard work I would want to warm up with a wood fired pizza 🍕
I love your orange chicken!!
Congratulations on the play button! Love your adventures and am new to your channel as you were almost home when I started watching. Good luck in the coming weeks.
Thanks!
Congratulations 🎊
Thank you!!
Time to build a shop. I've been wanting to make a wood burner/ smoker for my rv
Nice to see the 100k plaque, been here before 100,000!!
Woo hoo!!! 100,000!!! 👍😎🇨🇦
Oh my gosh. I LOVE the Toyota AllTrac. One of my all time favorite cars.
yup they're awesome!
I had a 2005 900 RMK and it started every time second or third pull.
You should get one of those lithium battery jump starters. I've jumped started a completely dead 6.8L V10 with dual batteries with mine.
Oh yeah! I knew the skidoo would start.
Ah,! So i just realized you lived in Girdwood. A pretty good place.
Just did our first trip up last summer and was there several times.
The Mercantile has what you need. The gas station also but man can that place be busy. Made a blitz trip up there from Whittier when we found out we were getting on the ferry on standby and needed food and alcohol and dog treats.
Congratulations tim I just started watching, ❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Gotta love that Costco snow scraper
I'm totally crushing🤗😊💓🙋🏾♀️.. Loving the videos Sir..
I loved going to the Moose Tooth when I lived in the Alaskan bush.
same!
Patiently waiting….🥱
Alaska looks absolutely stunning. Hey, do you put stabilizer in your fuel for the small engines? Regular gasoline will actually go bad and may accumulate water. I've been told by the small engine shop nearby that it starts deteriorating after about 5 weeks. I've had small engines refuse to start when sitting idle for a while simply because of fuel that has gone bad. For chainsaws and such things I use TruFuel (doesn't contain any ethanol), and for other things like generators, I keep a topped off tank with fuel stabilizer in it to prolong the shelf life of the gasoline. Makes a huge difference.
sure do
Good afternoon from East Texas....
Please change the oil on your ATV. Oil is engine life and it means you can have more fun for longer with your toy :)
if you bought the 4 wheeler new it may of had break in oil in it which is important to be changed out within the first 50 miles. if you still have original oil in it, its guaranteed to have metal shavings in it
Typical Polaris! Blows me away how a brand that makes its vehicles out of toothpicks and duct tape can be so popular LOL
Morning Tim! 😍
afternoon Tim!!! and MOM
hey you! miss you!
I love the Toyota wagon I wanna see more of it
Woooooohooooo!!!
Damn these videos always seem so short!
Hey! I got an idea.. maybe be you could put together a video that would be around 45min.-1 hour long that would consist of your trip.
Like a compilation of the trip.
You know why I mean?
That would make a good one to get a bunch of view hours
Yo Timmy the fanduo betting app commercial shows ur exact truck color and strips n all
Crazy thought ur color was one of
You should build a pole barn for your toys🎉 love the Alaska content.😊
Should take battery out and put on a tender until ready for use.
Let’s get itttttttt Timmaayyyyy
Should've had a tender on that battery they get ruined in this cold
Congrats on your youtube milestone!!! Dang! i cant wait to be home next week! backpackers inn! lol
