Hey guys! You still get it done even more when stuck at home. You keep it real and more than interesting. Hats off to you and community gatherings will happen again. Hopefully soon. Really slick rear window install. Still better than tv!!
Thanks so much!
Just got the June Texas Highways. Y'all need to check out the cover.
Well done for lifting our spirits, we are in week 8 now here in UK, seems to be no end really in sight, still using this opportunity to move projects forwards, keep safe. Greeting from UK!
Greetings Gary! We will get through this together
Great to see Father and Son working on VW’s, there addictive, I tell my Wife “There small they’ll stack”
yeah they will have you seen them stacked in mexico?!
Gotta love a day working on Vdubs and checking things off the list!
You got that right!
I've really been enjoying watching these videos. It's cool watching dad and son work together in harmony. Y'all make it fun to watch. I wish I still had my old Volkswagen I drove in the early 80s. You two have the best laughter and giggles.
Glad you enjoy it!
It's mutual. YOU support us too by keeping us entertained with your shenanigans. Thanks for posting.
Thanks!
Pro trick : you can watch movies at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.
@Derrick Johnny definitely, I've been using Flixzone} for since november myself :D
@Derrick Johnny yea, have been using flixzone} for months myself :)
Thanks for you and your Dad taking the time to film your work, its so much more fun watching you guys work while I eat! I have been motivated to finally start my new hub and rear bearings along with the rear disc break conversion that I have had sitting around since the new year. Its awesome to get back into a VW project! Great episode!
That is awesome!
You have a pretty good Old Man...
He's okay 😎
But the most important thing is that your Dad helped you fix that problem with Boomer, plus he has some incredible knowledge on Volkswagens, but is an awesome welder from what I can appreciate , err with what he did to thectrailer,,👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks indeed
Great video! I'm building a 1967 Squareback in my garage. The VW community has been amazing...
That's awesome! Post pictures of it on our Facebook page facebook.com/VWLifeVW/
Great video keep up the good work 👍👍
Thanks, will do!
Father and son, gettin' it done! Much better results than when I tried that repair on a friend's bus.
lol thanks!
Jake, if just the one side is wearing like that check your link pins to be sure they're adjusted. Check for king pin wear, grab top/bottom of tire and shake. Have the old man look underneath to see what moves. If the offset was cool when you installed the spindles, the torsion arm should be good. Make sure tie rods aren't bent too.
Wide Five the link pins are new. After getting everything buttoned up I took it to a local alignment shop. Said my alignment was 2 inches off (whoops, a skill I need to improve) so after the dumbass tax of a set of tires, my problem is solved.
@@vwbusjake Cool, glad you got it sorted! Odd just seeing one side wearing so bad from a poor alignment, but I've seen stranger things, ha, ha. Take care!
You rock!
Great video guys. Yall keep makn them and we'll keep watchn. Very uplifting every week
Thanks so much
Dutch flag and the Ramones written on it😎 greetings from the Netherlands, me and my 11 year old son are restoring a 1971 Bug. started september 2020 and nou ready for paint. Holland is not a dry country so lots of welding. Keep the videos posting and we wil be watching from the other side of the world. (ps love your VW life stickers) Gr Pascal an Max, He Ho Lets go!!
Awesome! Post pictures of it on our Facebook page facebook.com/VWLifeVW/
Thank you so very much for sharing! Awesome job! Always enjoy and love it VW Life! 👍😍
Glad you enjoyed it
Keep em coming !!!
Yes sir!
C'mon Jack! Lol. Very fun update boys! All good in the hood here... Misty's running like a top and always bringing in big smiles!😷✌💓
Good to hear!
@@VWLifeVW had the sunroof open, thought of you guys!
So cool! Was that 5000 subs?
@@VWLifeVW had to look back, yes it was. ✌E-🦸♂️
Great info! I'm totally jealous of the single cab!
You and me both!
Another great video to give me my "fix" of VW's
Stay safe and well.
Andy UK 🇬🇧
Thanks, you too!
Good words Jake. Excited to be able to see yall again soon
New channel name!
@@VWLifeVW yup. New content coming soon, hopefully
Nice video guys. Keep up the good work.
Will do Terry! Thanks
Thanks for another great video. VWLIFE ✌🏻
Thanks wade!
Yep remember doing that in my 57 type II pickup Big difference
Yep for sure!
Whooo! I kinda peed a little when the window slipped.
Yeah close one!
VW family, wherever you are, take care and stay healthy and safe !!!
you too thanks!
keep it up guys!
you too!
Hello I’m new to your videos just wanna say you guys are awesome love watching you guys work on the VW beetles and buses keep up the good videos god bless take care 👍🏻
awesome thanks! and welcome
Brilliant video lads
Glad you enjoyed it
because of this quarantine my bug and ghia got some TLC from me ,good thing i already have all the part needed to make them work like new again (but still rusty) :)
Thanks for sharing
Suggestion - take that reamer and have a Lead diameter ground into it. Starting it straight into the liners will greatly be improved.
okay thanks
I’ve always wanted a double cap vw truck!
would love to find one too!
VW Life I’ll probably end up just making one out of a bus! You can never find one, with a descent price around you!
This all looks familiar. That reamer gets around.
Cool to see everyone who has used that reamer... I think I've seen it on another YT channel. :D
That's right! 😉
Heck yeah my friends! Stay safe. Catch you on the other end of this crap!
Yep hopefully in June
Could you guys possibly do a video on replacing bug front tie rod ends? Thanks!
Yes we might be able to do that one of these days
I need to do that in my bug,I install drop spindle but i have to doble check everything
yeah always good to go in and check
Being so close to the border do you guys have any experience with the fuel injected Mexi Beetle's from 2004 and back?
we personally haven't owned one but people we know have and they seem to run for ever and be really awesome
👏👏show
Thanks!
Y'all made my heart skip a beat, putting in that back window. Oh..! Sh*t!
that's how we roll!
@@VWLifeVW Jake now can stunt-double the windshield on my '63 T-1. YAY!
Question, hope you guys can help. I got a 72 super beetle and for some reason the battery won’t charge up when the car runs , we always gotta jump it and keep it running but once we turn it off and try getting it to start again it won’t start up. Hop you guys can help me out !
post this up on www.aircoolers.org and ask
Is it safe to say that someone likes The Ramones?
Very safe, 😎
Shoot....made me jump on the couch when you dropped that window! Looks like you guys are scratching a LOT off the to-do list. Time for a winch on the trailer??
it was a close one!
Are you running 15” wheels on Boomer? What size tires do you use?
Yes!
W.O.W.
Okay
Where do you get the bushings and the reamer. I have a single cab that wonders the road. It’s more like sailing than driving.
Wolfsburg West Sells the center pin and bushing kit. You have to source the reamer another way. You can find them on Amazon or Ebay but you want to make sure you get the right one. There is a thread on the samba about it
What size are the Genral Grabbers you are running on Boomer? 215/75/15 or 205/75/15. I'm shopping for tires for my 63 walk-through standard as I just got my rims back from powder coating. Thanks! VWLife!!
General Grabber AT2 27X8.50
@@VWLifeVW Isn't that only available as a 14 inch tire? ie. 27 X 8.5 X14. Boomer is running 15 inch bus rims. So it has to be a 15 inch tires??? I saw on MAtt Jackson thesamba forum that he put the 27X8.5X14's on the 14 inch bus rims on Helga.
Yes you can get them in 15"
@@VWLifeVW I'm missing something. General doesn't show a 27X8.5X15 in their manufacture list of sizes for the grabber AT2 maybe its no longer available.
generaltire.com/sites/default/files/tires/files/GT18_Grabber-AT2_Tire_Spec_Pages.pdf
Anyway. Seems like the forums on thesamba.com really like the BFGoodrich in size 215/75/15. I've talked to locals who recommend the Grabber but suggested the size 205/75/15. I guess at the end of the day my concern is that the BFG is a load rating "C" tire and the Grabbers are "SL" (standard load) passenger rated. I'm left with 2 questions. Does 215/75/15 create rub or rear tire removal issues over a 205? Do the Grabbers handle as well being of the lower load range design?
Love the channel! Thanks.
On Boomer, running 15" Bus wheels, 205-75-15, General Grabbers. I think the 215-75-15 may rub the back fender lip, because it's close with the 205's.
Soapy water. It will wash away and not leave a mess. I cringed when you whacked your hand on the window corner. Push, don't whack! I've seen new glass shatter that way.
we've done it a few times
Boomer seems to be getting some terminal rust in those drop sides.
It's pretty bad. The previous owner filled them with spray foam
SOO did you get the window in????
Yes! 😎👍
be safe
You too!
I wood just fix boomer up no rust on the body nice paint job on her
Yep!
Love the video hope you all get back to normal soon 🏴
yep let's all hope thanks!
What tires / size running on Boomer ?
15in general grabber at2
VW Life 195 ?
How many tires did you go through in those 11 years?
Way too many!! More sets than I’d like to admit to the internet! Thank you for watching
boomer get all the second hand tires :)
Bedrooms converted to parts storage, walls covered in man cave posters/signs, ping pong scores written directly on the walls... yeah, there are no women in that house.
This is true!
Hey Gary I was wondering if your class Watches VW life?
Not really 😎
Bet their moms do, Gary...
@@TheStewmagoo :)
VW Life didn’t you say you teach 5 grade Science?
I get it withe petina and everything, but the rotting parts should be repaired.
yep
If you are just going to store that Scirocco why not sell it to me?!
We are just storing it. Be on the lookout for a new video coming soon about the Scirocco so we have you are going to enjoy!
BFH?! NO! Precision Knockometer! Metric.... Not that standard rubbish!
Lol exactly!
13:35 change your underwear.
That's right!
" i cant see my notch "
Look closer 😉
Jake, if just the one side is wearing like that check your link pins to be sure they're adjusted. Check for king pin wear, grab top/bottom of tire and shake. Have the old man look underneath to see what moves. If the offset was cool when you installed the spindles, the torsion arm should be good. Make sure tie rods aren't bent too.
