- I removed a bunch of stuff in the engine bay, prepped it and painted it with tough bbq enamel, painted some accent pieces, she turned out well.

You’re re-taping the loom - impressive.
Yeah I think it only took about an hour or so.

The car looks great! ❤️
Thanks!
Based on the schematic I have and the wiring on my 1986 Samurai. The little sensor is the "Thermal Engine Room Switch". The bigger part on that same bracket should be "High Altitude Compensator". Both of which are only needed with the factory carb and ECM.
Wow, thank you. I didn't know if anyone would be able to find that info. Good news to hear it's not necessary for mine as I don't have the stock carb. I think '87 was a transition year when fuel injection was in its infancy and they were experimenting before throttle body injection. Sounds like it's a thermostat for the engine bay, kinda weird. I wonder what that controlled. It prob fed the ecm but I wonder what the ecm controlled if it got really hot in there, or cold maybe. Could be more for cold to help the carb work in conjunction with the choke. Well thanks again, great information!
Looks super good
Thanks brother!
38:16 WOW - you are not joking when you title it “night and day difference” that is AMAZING….
Hey thanks, yeah it made a big difference in the overall appearance. Lots of work but it honestly wasn't as hard as I thought to spray around everything once things were loose and could be pulled up to shoot behind. The drivers side was really easy.

The adjustable wrench is a Swedish invention, as am I.
FYI
It performs at its best when rounding bolt heads and nuts.
It performs at its second best when used as an emergency tool.
Ah yes, the thumb f_cking nut buster. I don't think your Swedish guy (Jahoansson?) got the credit for the adjustable wrench because over here we all call it a Crescent wrench, maybe someone stole the idea. I think it was originally designed with 2 moving jaws then simplified to just 1.

Crescent wrench?
That’s funny and accurate. Crescent means the shape of half a circle. 😂
In Sweden the tool company Bacho (pronounced Backo) is the main manufacturer. However, Asian copies are very popular common.
My Sammy still has its oem stickers under the hood and it calls for ngk or denso.
NGK BPR5ES
Denso W20EPR-U to be exact.
That's a huge help, thank you!
NGK and Denso are both Japanese, as is the car. They are not bad at all, but there are better brands, Bosch is one of them.
I was like this when I got my 91 xj, nowots all lifted and all is done. Now it sits in my driveway collecting dust. My Honda Accord is more comfy.
Yeah that's how I am too. They're funner when there's still stuff to do on em.
Suzuki Samurai Firewall Mounted Thermal Sensor is that little sensor. The bigger one is a high altitude compensator.
Yes sir, someone else said the same exact thing. I didn't know if anyone would know and already several of you have known. Thanks for the comment, I'm surprised the part number didn't point me in the right direction, but luckily you guys know a ton about these.
Only 30 more buddy. Just stared watching so im sure ill say more
Temperature - Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion …
Subtract 30 from the Fahrenheit number and divide the sum by two. The result isn’t exact but pretty close.
Example:
88F minus 30=58
58/2=29C
That's one of those things I've learned at least 10 times and will have to learn it again the next time I need to use it. Some things I retain easily and some stuff I just don't really remember unfortunately.

I recognize that, as I do a lot in your videos. I have a diagnosed name for it.
The diaphragm … If you take it apart I think you’ll find the leak where the arm rotates.
I think you're 100% right. I think I may also find out it's not supposed to rotate lol. We will find out because I'll definitely be tearing into that one when the new one shows up. I almost did yesterday but I think I'm gonna do alot of damage separating the two sides.
Use wire lime for your wires, it's pretty cheap.
Yeah I have loom on alot of the wiring already. I only have 1/4" and 3/8" right now. I'm gonna pick up some 1/2" and if it fits in there I'll prob use it along the firewall and sides.

Your Jeep got two spark plugs per cylinder. Alfa Romeo has had that for decades. To my knowledge twin plugs is a gimmick that makes zero difference. Way more important is the quality and performance of the plugs. 16 Iridiums wasn’t cheap but will probably last longer than the engine / car /they are in. Congratulations to a good decision.
Yeah I doubt it does much if anything. They do it in aircraft engines alot but that's purely for redundancy.
@@FixLife119
In an aircraft it is a safety issue. If a spark plug fails in an airplane you have very little roadside to park at…
The horn it's on wrong place,,it's suppose to go like close to the radiator passenger side you see the mounting place
That's weird. I wonder why they relocated it. Thanks for the info.
Great job on the engine bay, looking nice.! Your wiring looked in pretty good condition too - is it original?
Thank you. How's yours coming along? I think the wire is orig. Or at least I have no reason to believe it's not.
@@FixLife119 going slow! Been really busy with my job. I had a suspension lift put in, it's sitting a bit too high at moment because I didn't pull the body lift off yet. I will try to add another video soon . Also trying to sort out someone to pull body off to do paint whilst we do the frame etc .
@@andrebaumbach9447 I feel ya. Cool that you got the lift done! Most of these projects take a few years, especially when juggling work and life.
@@FixLife119 I know it's ambitious but I set myself a target of mid November as that's my birthday present to myself . I am banking on the body and chassis being done by October then a month of reassembly as many of the new old parts I already have stockpiled. That's when I will take a few weeks off work to do.
@@andrebaumbach9447 Dude that's gonna be such a fun month! I bet you can't wait, hell I can't wait for you lol.
Im not sure if he can make it but ask phil at phils craft corner TH-cam. Tell him your a friend of mine, but ask him. Sorry the stickers under you hood.
Oh yeah, that's an idea. We've got some local businesses that make stickers and stuff. If I wanted it that bad I'm sure all they would need it a digital pic. If I go that far maybe I'll hit up your guy. Thanks man!
@@FixLife119 I'm not saying he can do it, I'm just saying he's a little guy like us
@@numbskullskills I gotcha. Ya know, my roommates have a printer that will print photos if you buy the photo paper for it. I wonder if I could just buy adhesive paper and print it onto that. Might be able to diy it.
@@FixLife119 that might work
Perhaps you could create a mailing address (not your home of course) and share it to TH-cam viewers… so if they want to send you gifts or parts etc …. ???
Yeah I'd like to get a P.O. Box at some point. I know I've sent several things to youtubers over the years. I might need one for a business I may be starting so I was thinking I could combine them and just do 1.
Where did you get that awesome front bumper?
It was actually on there when I bought it. I think its a homemade jobber.
its been two days whats up brothr
Been tryna come up with enough content for a video without boring people. I'm editing now, should have one out manana. This heat has been killer. 111° today.
@@FixLife119 dam!!! i was workin south of the alamo in tx one summer, job got done an we came home it was around 80 somethin here an i was so cold. i dont find you boring im sure itll be great
@@numbskullskills Wow that's crazy. Then again I just went out to work on the Sammy at 11pm and it felt nice and cool. It was 90. But then I started sweating again when I started workin. This video tomorrow shouldn't be boring but it took 3 days to make. One of the days I only got like 8 minutes of footage that I used. It's getting harder toward the end of this. In the beginning there was so much to do I was able to go work for 3 or 4 hours and have enough to make a video. Now I'm basically down to just painting. I guess we could watch it dry lol.
@@FixLife119 lol I sure like watching paint dry. Could you please do that video.
@@numbskullskills Actually when it's on time lapse watching stuff dry is really cool! Should do a whole video of just that lol.
Hi, just a suggestion...maybe making shorter video would be more beneficial for the channel. where on each video you talk about one topic..personally I jump from one segment to the next often during the video....30 or 40 minutes in my opinion is to long...10 to 15 would be perfect..like most video on youtube
Yeah I've thought about this quite a bit. My mom is always saying they're too long. My fav auto TH-camrs (Sleeperdude, Vice Grip Garage, Flying Sparks Garage, NNKH, etc) are all usually over an hour and in their comments people often say the longer the better. So that's one side of it but the other side is human nature, people have a short attention span. That's why tiktok and youtube shorts do extremely well. I'm kinda torn in the middle, this series is on the tail end so I prob won't switch it up now but I definitely might on the next one. It would be alot easier for me to edit shorter videos. With my editing software once I get past 20 min it buffers so hard it takes much much longer to do the 2nd half than the first. Lots to consider but I think shorter would make more sense. Hey thanks for the comment!
I disagree to shorter videos. If a subject gets too much time in Adam’s videos I fast forward by double tapping at the right side if the screen on my phone.
Adam’s videos aren’t TikTok or FB Reels and I appreciate that as the show more of all the work he puts in as well as more of his personality. I appreciate both and that makes his channel stand out from the crowd.
