If you plan to move the radio between vehicles, put a connector behind the radio. This will let you quickly disconnect the electric to the radio. You can also get a quick disconnect bracket. It just slide in and clips into place.
I was going to suggest this also. About 40 yrs ago (yes, I am your grandparents age) a friend and I (with spouses and family) would go on trips together, which often included taking our boats. We got into using CB's to keep in touch. We used the quick disconnects to easily move the units from vehicle to vehicle. This eliminated the working under the dash and sting wire through the firewall steps with each switch. It was truly Plug and Play.
What... a battery without a go handle! Family time is precious time. It looks like a fun time next week and I am looking forward to going along with everyone.
You would not know you've been staying up into the wee hours of the morning editing, you still look beautiful as the first time I started watching your videos 1 year ago
Yup! No pressure but, Daily uploads! I'm getting a new found respect for FORDS and with a little getting to know bottom up, hands down that Bronco is the best one I've ever seen!
Ever episode really makes me kick myself for not taken off work and going on Power Tour this year. Have fun and be safe. Next tour I am going to be there.
The daily uploads have been great. I am pretty sure it is a fact when I say that I am not alone in being very grateful for all the hard work and late hours you guys have been putting into them and all of your videos. Thank you so much!
Just a friendly tip, whenever you connect something to the battery, make sure there is a fuse in the circuit. Preferably near the battery side, just in case... :)
Thanks again Emily & Aaron, a recommendation for the Wiring, put fuses close to the battery, that way if something rubs and you end up with a short the fuse will blow instead of an electrical fire.
15 to 20 minutes is plenty for a daily update. Even 10 minutes would be good. Great to see the grandparents. They are the ones that used to have an MG, right?
I like these quick ones. They seem more real. Life is a series of projects and steps. Everyday, we make incremental progress on each project, and not project A on day 1, Project B on day2&3, project C on day 4.
Carla and I leaving Saturday morning from Lucas, TX. Staying at Platinum hotels, we look for y’all on the road. We are in a white 2011 Holden Caprice PPV Detective Model. Drive safe and God Bless our trip!
Arod/Em I thank for the up loads and thank y'all for taken us on the journey with y'all. I can only speak for me....if there is not a lot of time to make the videos while yall are there I completely understand....you got to enjoy the time that you have too. So if you have to miss something to me or just trying to be in the moment...then that is ok.. thank y'all again for just being real....
Looking forward to your videos. My wife and I have been married now for 48 years having dated before marriage for 4 years. Six granddaughters, two sons, and a daughter all living nearby - life is good ... enjoy.
Your doing a great job I like the short format, for the lead up to adventure. Long format for when life is less hectic, if there is such a thing. Keep it up but don't burn yourself out.
I have watched from the very beginning. So sweet, learn as you go. Make mistakes like we all do, own it, and keep going. You aren't learning if you aren't breaking stuff.
You should do a couple of live streams from the hotel hang out so you can have a few non edit days. I would put some fuses in those wires. And a two prong polarized plug behind the radio and similar harness in each car so you can change it up and leave the wiring in the cars.
We look forward to seeing you too kiddo. It's like we're learning with you. I personally enjoy the content very much. Aaron is a lucky man and so are we. You are too my dear!
love the Bronco billed. it reminds me of the one we had when I was a kid growing up in Oregon. I was told we had the very last one ever made. it had every option you could have.(even had fuel door for bout tanks ) and that 302 and 4 barrel carb made that thing rip. I guess they were in such a hurry to put it together that they didn't let the mettle mills cal properly so the paint would rust at the joints and the truck would get a new dealer paint job (whit & green ish ) all the time. the ford factory keep trying to buy the truck back but only a fool would sell it to them LOL.
Family time is precious enjoy every time you all spend together, great videos thank you for posting them I’ve got a 1970 bronco that I’ve had for 27 years I’ve been doing little projects on it over the years and now I’ve got a Dana 44 front axle with disc brakes waiting to be installed and I’ve got ceramic coated headers with a complete exhaust system with magma flow mufflers waiting to be installed also and I have to rebuild the the rear drum brakes on it and install a windshield and get a front drive shaft for it and then it’ll be on the road after that
Emily I think you doing pretty good for not knowing wiring electrical well. If your crimp connectors have built in heat shrink they don’t need regular heat shrink added too. I just wanted to let you know to save you money and time in the future.
1 a.m. Edit 7 a.m. Starbucks 8 a.m. Open the shop 8:30 a.m. Find the creeper. 11:55 a.m. Come out from under Bronco, rested, hair unharmed. Noon. Really start the day.
Great episode. Gotta take family time while you can! Shorter episodes more often is great to me. I miss seeing y'all while waiting for a long episode and frankly it's easier to grab a watch on shorter ones.
Emily, there's a connector on the power cables just behind the radios. You can get more wire harnesses to have them in each video. Would be good to add a fuse into the harness too.
EMILY!!!!! Well done on allllll the daily uploads u rock!!! U and Aaron are Flippin awesome...both are very lucky to have each other and so much in common...life goals
12 and 17 fantastic. Me 13 future W 11 , we have 2 great kids and 4 grandkids together. We broke up 38 years ago and I am still carrying a torch for her.. Such is life. On my next project I would bring to you for wiring. That looks so pro..
Along with the Power Tour prep and your late night editing sessions, Emily might have to learn how to take 'Power Naps'! Aaron, as to the spare tire rack latch 'hiding' from your sight, you have my sympathy! I can relate so well; I absolutely 'KNOW' I have that part/tool/chemical sitting in my shop, it's that it is 'hiding' from me! So much time wasted looking for the darn thing, running to the store to buy the thing I can't find, only to 'discover' its 'hiding place' after I don't need it!!! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!
Dan from DD Speed Shop, in Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦 is going to Hot Rod Power Tour 2022, Driving his Black & White 1957 Chevy Black Widow Clone I think I'll see you guys in Pensacola Florida👍🏻
I love you guys i watch every video and you both are so amazing people and the family is amazing to you guys work so hard and u guys help people all the time i just wanted to tell you guys that and little Finley is to cute so keep on keeping on
Thank you very much for the daily updates and sacrifices you are making to bring us the daily updates, don't forget to enjoy the show for us as I know I want be able to, all the best to yous and your loved ones
It's great to watch you both get things ready to go. I have one suggestion if you don't mind. If you would have removed the plastic coverings attached to the terminal rings, you could have verified a good connection visually, and then slid the heat shrink up and made them totally waterproofed. Have a great trip, and hope you don't need anything the entire time.
When you do the power tour do minimal editing since they will be daily updates. You want to be able to hang out in the parking lot and film. I think that's an integral part we would like to see. Just my two cents. Keep up the great work!
Enjoy your videos, Bronco is starting to look good. I have owned many 4x4's and have done all of the extra wiring, I always crimp and solder all connections and then cover with heat shrink. I never have problems with lose connection. keep up the great stories. Barry Walker Melbourne Australia.
I love watching you all a lot makes my day I enjoy watching you work on the cars and trucks I hope you all have the channel for a long time its fun and educational to thank you .
Love your channel and everything that you post...if I may , PLEASE wear safety glasses when ever you work with batteries and connections....your eyes are very precious and can't be replaced so as my grandmother taught me, an ounce of protection goes miles in safety...have a safe and sound trip.
Enjoy the daily uploads. Looking forward to following along with you guys on the trip, be careful! Who is going to take care of Finley while you are gone? He is awesome!
Always look forward to your videos and the daily uploads are great. Can't wait till you get on the road 😀. Wiring wise as already mentioned below put a fuse at the battery end of those wires an in-line one will do the job and protect the Car and wiring. Also would be good to see grommets where the wiring goes through the firewall if thet aren't there already. If you forget to put the heat shrink on I often find using sleeve expanders on the heat shrink will often expand it enough to get it over the connector failing that you can also use long nose pliers to stretch it as well, as soon as it's heated it will still go back to it's normal size and shrink down on to the wire.
The length of the video is great! Like you said, by being daily it is relevant to what is going on. Don't sweat the small stuff. Hit the highlights on a daily and then come back and build a master set of videos later on if you want.
RE: Comm power wires Have you folks considered adding a quick disconnect connector to the comm unit so you can quickly disconnect it without having to pull the wires in and out of the firewall?
The daily uploads are great but you should listen to your mom you do need your rest and its great you should spend time with your family love the videos keep up the great work
The hicas system was a big leap forward back when first devised but probably in your best interest to get a delete kit as they are incredibly hard and expensive to get back into good condition
Well I liken the format. Aaron is doing great support act. 👏 And you are entertaining us emmensly. Fin is to be applauded for his part as well. Fantastic to add many generations of family 👪. Where us the kid?
Jeez, get some sleep!😂 Thanks for these daily updates; I know you guys have to work your asses off to put up this kind of content, so kudos to you both!✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
Taking a little time with family is important. Vehicles will always be there. Family won't. Speaking of vehicles. How about adding a vintage motorcycle with a sidecar to your collection? lol
Tip of the hat to your Grandparents. You guys & Sarah-n-Tuned make the best petrolhead content. Hope you got some more sleep. ...and now I'm gonna have to go back and watch your drag racing videos again coz I've just discovered Roxy sounds A-maz-ing with headphones on :-D
Please put an inline fuse with the positive radio power lead at the battery. It might prevent a fire.
If you plan to move the radio between vehicles, put a connector behind the radio. This will let you quickly disconnect the electric to the radio. You can also get a quick disconnect bracket. It just slide in and clips into place.
I was going to suggest this also. About 40 yrs ago (yes, I am your grandparents age) a friend and I (with spouses and family) would go on trips together, which often included taking our boats. We got into using CB's to keep in touch. We used the quick disconnects to easily move the units from vehicle to vehicle. This eliminated the working under the dash and sting wire through the firewall steps with each switch. It was truly Plug and Play.
YES this would enable the transfer to YOUR boats!!
My thoughts exactly. Well said!
Exactly! Back in the CB Radio days this is exactly what I did between my three vehicles. One radio, three hand-built harnesses.
What... a battery without a go handle! Family time is precious time. It looks like a fun time next week and I am looking forward to going along with everyone.
I like the 20 min daily videos rather then an hour weekly.
You would not know you've been staying up into the wee hours of the morning editing, you still look beautiful as the first time I started watching your videos 1 year ago
Yup! No pressure but, Daily uploads! I'm getting a new found respect for FORDS and with a little getting to know bottom up, hands down that Bronco is the best one I've ever seen!
Ever episode really makes me kick myself for not taken off work and going on Power Tour this year. Have fun and be safe. Next tour I am going to be there.
I see many connections off the battery that are not fused. These wires can and will cause fires.
The daily uploads have been great. I am pretty sure it is a fact when I say that I am not alone in being very grateful for all the hard work and late hours you guys have been putting into them and all of your videos. Thank you so much!
Just a friendly tip, whenever you connect something to the battery, make sure there is a fuse in the circuit. Preferably near the battery side, just in case... :)
VERY good point
Emily any morning I get up and I see your pretty face and that beautiful smile I know I'm gonna have a good day.
Howdy 🤠 I’m just a neighbor that Loves your channel. Stay nice and rested you two for your adventure’s
Thanks again Emily & Aaron, a recommendation for the Wiring, put fuses close to the battery, that way if something rubs and you end up with a short the fuse will blow instead of an electrical fire.
Luv'n the Jesus muffinlerz on the 300zx! Everybody needs Holy parts on their cars :-D
15 to 20 minutes is plenty for a daily update. Even 10 minutes would be good. Great to see the grandparents. They are the ones that used to have an MG, right?
They had 3 MGs for their daughters first cars, they currently have a Miata that we’ve done an episode with!
I love how your shirt says "Loud Pipes Saves Lives" as your pointing out the hole in the muffler 🤣
Love the dally uploads ! Nothing wrong w/ family time and a cold beer ! Can’t wait for power tour uploads !
When Aaron puts his hat on backwards, you know things are getting serious. 😉
Thanks for bringing us along!
I like these quick ones. They seem more real. Life is a series of projects and steps. Everyday, we make incremental progress on each project, and not project A on day 1, Project B on day2&3, project C on day 4.
Those battery cable ends hurt my soul 😂
Somehow i missed this episode. Love the grandparents. Enjoy them while you still can.
You guys are role models. Thank you for what you do.
Carla and I leaving Saturday morning from Lucas, TX. Staying at Platinum hotels, we look for y’all on the road. We are in a white 2011 Holden Caprice PPV Detective Model. Drive safe and God Bless our trip!
Please say hi when you see us!!!! Thanks so much for watching, commenting and being so supportive!!!
Editing party in the lobby? See ya there!
Hahahaha!!!! YESSSSS FAM!!! We’ll be non social together editing for all the jokers at home!! 😂😂😭😭🙌🏼🙌🏼 Can’t wait to hang!
Arod/Em I thank for the up loads and thank y'all for taken us on the journey with y'all.

OMG! Is that "Rosie the riveter" sporting that red bandana? LOL!
I bet some Borla mufflers would sound good on the car. Even with u not getting all ur beauty sleep ur still gorgeous and Aaron is a lucky man
Your doing a great job I like the short format, for the lead up to adventure. Long format for when life is less hectic, if there is such a thing. Keep it up but don't burn yourself out.
The daily uploads are really cool, and we love it, but take time on power tour to visit and have fun with people. We love the content as always!!!
I have watched from the very beginning. So sweet, learn as you go. Make mistakes like we all do, own it, and keep going. You aren't learning if you aren't breaking stuff.

You and Aaron are so awesome i like the jeep

the ford factory keep trying to buy the truck back but only a fool would sell it to them LOL.
The daily uploads are awesome. The amount of work y’all are putting into making it happen is understood and appreciated by all!
The Bronco is coming along well
Family time is precious enjoy every time you all spend together, great videos thank you for posting them I’ve got a 1970 bronco that I’ve had for 27 years I’ve been doing little projects on it over the years and now I’ve got a Dana 44 front axle with disc brakes waiting to be installed and I’ve got ceramic coated headers with a complete exhaust system with magma flow mufflers waiting to be installed also and I have to rebuild the the rear drum brakes on it and install a windshield and get a front drive shaft for it and then it’ll be on the road after that
What! No go handle on the battery! Dang it! Totally not VGG approved. 😄😆😅
Aaron is a real G he flys, works on cars trucks and makes food for his lovely wife and family.
Emily I think you doing pretty good for not knowing wiring electrical well. If your crimp connectors have built in heat shrink they don’t need regular heat shrink added too. I just wanted to let you know to save you money and time in the future.
1 a.m. Edit
7 a.m. Starbucks
8 a.m. Open the shop
8:30 a.m. Find the creeper.
11:55 a.m. Come out from under Bronco, rested, hair unharmed.
Noon. Really start the day.
Lolololol how’d you know!?!!
@@flyingsparksgarage
LOL Cause you turn like 8 bolts and then it's dark out and you say, "See ya tomorrow!" Haha. You're a hoot!
Great episode. Gotta take family time while you can! Shorter episodes more often is great to me. I miss seeing y'all while waiting for a long episode and frankly it's easier to grab a watch on shorter ones.
I love the time with the Grandparents ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Emily, there's a connector on the power cables just behind the radios.
You can get more wire harnesses to have them in each video. Would be good to add a fuse into the harness too.
EMILY!!!!! Well done on allllll the daily uploads u rock!!! U and Aaron are Flippin awesome...both are very lucky to have each other and so much in common...life goals

On my next project I would bring to you for wiring. That looks so pro..
Are you planning on adding a battery tie-down? I have had a sidepost battery shift and cause problems when it hits something metal.
Really enjoying the videos, Emily, but please try to get some sleep before you tackle that long trip! Take care!🙂
Along with the Power Tour prep and your late night editing sessions, Emily might have to learn how to take 'Power Naps'!

Format has been great and still captures the unique things about your channel. Great work.
Thank you very much for the daily updates and sacrifices you are making to bring us the daily updates, don't forget to enjoy the show for us as I know I want be able to, all the best to yous and your loved ones
I like the daily videos.Can't wait to see you cover the Power Tour.
It's great to watch you both get things ready to go. I have one suggestion if you don't mind. If you would have removed the plastic coverings attached to the terminal rings, you could have verified a good connection visually, and then slid the heat shrink up and made them totally waterproofed. Have a great trip, and hope you don't need anything the entire time.
THE LATCH....... Stop looking for it, and look for something else. The latch will appear. ALWAYS WORKS FOR ME. LOL
I always buy another and..poof there is the original. Works EVERY TIME. 🤨
When you do the power tour do minimal editing since they will be daily updates. You want to be able to hang out in the parking lot and film. I think that's an integral part we would like to see. Just my two cents. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Enjoying the daily updates. Enjoyable content.

i missed you guys last month am glad you are all okay , loving these daily vids . see you tomorrow
I love watching you all a lot makes my day I enjoy watching you work on the cars and trucks I hope you all have the channel for a long time its fun and educational to thank you .
I thought only my mom made a pot roast dinner in hot steamy weather! 🤣 I miss that yum sesh!
you and your huseband are a great couple and your fur baby is so cute
Nice to see you back and healthy
Love your channel and everything that you post...if I may , PLEASE wear safety glasses when ever you work with batteries and connections....your eyes are very precious and can't be replaced so as my grandmother taught me, an ounce of protection goes miles in safety...have a safe and sound trip.
It’s been awesome watching the daily’s .
You guys are doing great work!! Daily uploads rock!!
Thank you for sharing and taking the time for these daily drops. Hope to see you all someday at a drag n drive event.
Great progress! Really just watching for the GTO and nice legs
Enjoy the daily uploads. Looking forward to following along with you guys on the trip, be careful! Who is going to take care of Finley while you are gone? He is awesome!

Hi you guys the Bronco is looking awesome and sounds so much better love how the paint is so much brighter
The length of the video is great! Like you said, by being daily it is relevant to what is going on. Don't sweat the small stuff. Hit the highlights on a daily and then come back and build a master set of videos later on if you want.
Another great update 👍👍🇨🇱
RE: Comm power wires
Have you folks considered adding a quick disconnect connector to the comm unit so you can quickly disconnect it without having to pull the wires in and out of the firewall?
No need to keep explaining your self. Your fine. Just do it.
Hey guys! I’ve really enjoyed the daily updates!! Keep up the great work!!
The daily uploads are great but you should listen to your mom you do need your rest and its great you should spend time with your family love the videos keep up the great work
You always need a fues as close to the power source, eg. battery, so if there is a short, somewhere along the wire eg.through the firewall
Looks like you need to replace the battery tray sometime.
The hicas system was a big leap forward back when first devised but probably in your best interest to get a delete kit as they are incredibly hard and expensive to get back into good condition
Well I liken the format. Aaron is doing great support act. 👏 And you are entertaining us emmensly. Fin is to be applauded for his part as well. Fantastic to add many generations of family 👪. Where us the kid?
Jeez, get some sleep!😂
Thanks for these daily updates; I know you guys have to work your asses off to put up this kind of content, so kudos to you both!✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
We have the same kitchen scissors!!! Love the videos....keep up the good work. Twice a week at 15 to 20...rawish is great.
Taking a little time with family is important. Vehicles will always be there. Family won't. Speaking of vehicles. How about adding a vintage motorcycle with a sidecar to your collection? lol
Dad had a similar Prelude steer same direction at speed, opposite at low speed. That feature should be on most cars. IMHO
Love all the vids you guys put out. Keep them coming. Have fun on power tour and keep them wrenches turning
Will be at Hoover for Power Tour on Wednesday. Hope to see the Red Bronco arrive.
Love the daily uploads. Really looking forward to the days ahead.
Tip of the hat to your Grandparents.
You guys & Sarah-n-Tuned make the best petrolhead content.
Hope you got some more sleep.
...and now I'm gonna have to go back and watch your drag racing videos again coz I've just discovered Roxy sounds A-maz-ing with headphones on :-D
keep up the daily have been enjoying them.
very nice job, love shrink tube to lol, power tour is on my bucket list, someday ill get to, hopefully
Thanks for working on your Bronco! Your trip with it sounds fun. Can’t wait to be able finish my ‘76 Bronco project and plan a trip out west.
Love the daily uploads, but don't kill yourself. You'll enjoy the event a lot more if you are rested for it.
you guys are very cool thanks for bringing us along
Loving the videos! Anniversary math needs some work though😂. You must had meant you got married on their 45th not 54th
