Look at the big picture.... Judging by the condition of your truck and the height of those stairs, you can be happy that you're alive. God Bless

@@2jeffs1 Been wondering where you have been, hope everything is going well.

Jeff, this year (a literal year, not just 2020) has been a living nightmare for me and my family so I understand. Long story short we lost the patriarch in my family suddenly last November and were forced to sell the house/workshop. I purchased my own (and first) house in April and the home inspector missed just about every MAJOR problem he could have. I didn't know any better, I sure do now. I learned how to sheet-rock, wire electricity, plum, etc. I work 58hrs a week only to come home and renovate. Every wall had serious mold in it. Anyway, not trying to downplay your injuries, I hope things get better fast!

Praying for your healing, your hope, your joy, and sunshine! Hang in there !

Dang! When it rains it pours. I feel sick about your truck!

I scooped, filled one of those white pails of mud off, then spent several hours pressure washing. Seeing it cleaned off makes one feel a bit better.

Thanks for the update.

Discovered your channel when your DIY oil undercoating video came up in my recommended feed. Watched a few others and subscribed! You are a rare breed. Your videos are entertaining, informative and inspirational. I hope you are doing much better. Positive thoughts for a complete recovery. 👍🏻

Really difficult to say how much this affected me.. .. could honestly feel your sadness in this short video, it's more than your truck, you keep everything around you so nice.. I'm deeply sorry and wish you nothing but the best in the future... I've missed your vids and would rather do without them than see this...

G'day from down under. I must admit I was worried that you weren't here for awhile, now Im happy you're okay. “It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.”-Mahatma Gandhi Looking forward to more of your mastery. Norm

Looks green outside, hoping this video was from a while ago! Can't wait to see what you've got brewing. Keep up the good work guy!!

Thanks man!

its still the best looking ranger around Jeff. Should be in a museum once you get time to fix it up a little

Glad you're alive and kickin, life's like that sometimes the simple things can really bite you in the but.

Hey Jeff! So sorry to hear of your recent hardships. Just remember we aren’t getting any younger so we have to start being more careful. My wife and I are huge fans and we’ve loved watching many of your vids. When I grow up I want to be just like you. (I’m just turning 60 so I’m not holding out much hope, lol). Proud to be a couple of your ‘toobers’ up in the wilds of BC Canada. Hugs for a safe recovery. Cheers Buddy.

Hang on in there Jeff! Thinking about you, and wish you good health ASAP. X

The kind comments do help cheer me up for sure.

Thanks Jeff. Keep your head up and get better.

Jeff, your videos and your channel always motivate me to get better, thank you for that. And take care of yourself, please. Shit happens and it will go away!

Im also from Wisconsin. And you’re videos are so inspiring. And you’ve accomplished 20x the average person. Hang in there bud.

Jeff, I’m so sorry to hear this news. Please know we really appreciate you and are wishing you the very best!

Sorry to hear, hope you got your jaw fixed up, the truck is always repairable! And you have the skill set to accomplish that! Take care

This is one of the first channels I ever subbed to,I'd be just ruint if it went away. I've learned alot here and share alot of ideas in the comments with other viewers and it's wonderful. I never unsub,it's fun to see a vid posted after a couple years of dormancy 😄 (Not that it happens here) Work on yourself and get better, we will hang in here and wait.

Hope you're getting through your situation; please give us an update. Your videos are inspiring and you will no doubt fix that truck and put together a positive video for us to enjoy because that's what you do!

Found your video about how to remove rusted bolts and nuts. Now watching this. That's sad. Hope you are healed up and doing better. Best of luck to you.

Hang in there. You have fixed far more broken things before. Just think of how much worse the backhoe was.

Oh man, I am so sorry. Sometimes life really gives us a hard kick in the pants, there's just no way around it. We are all at risk of being caught by the wolf that is always stalking us, just a few steps behind. That is why we must be grateful for every day that Fate spares us, because one day she won't. Your videos mean something to your viewers, and we care about you, dude. Don't let the depression demons get you-things can get better again. Maybe you could get a Patreon going to help cover some expenses. Best of luck to you in the future, it will get better!

What's really good is to have come across such a really nice guy here, and that's you! As the old saying goes.. Some rain falls into everyone's life. It's just that in your case, at that time, it was a blo*dy monsoon! Hope that it's passed by long ago, and your in a good place again now. Shane. (Aka, Reliant Scimitar SE6a, Ian Galbraith - here on KZread.) Been there, restored cars, still got the skint knuckles, dirty hair, ruined weekends, empty bank balance. But so far I've not learned, 'not to play' with old cars! Don't suppose I ever will. Keep making your great video's please. & I'll be seeing ya's, in the next one. :-)

Sometimes talking about things helps, glad to see you're back on the right track. Hope you continue and look forward to more videos.

Prayers from Holland MI Jeff. Love your wide spectrum of repair knowledge. Always yes to random interruptions from nature in your videos!

Hey Jeff, I’m glad you are still with us! We look forward to your return after you’re all healed! I’ll be praying for for you.

Hang in there....things will get better!

Jeff I am so sorry to hear of your 2 accidents. Sounds like Murphey moved in for a while. Will be praying for you to have a speedy recovery and healing. Miss you buddy. God Bless!

I’m new to your channel but your way of sharing your projects with us viewers makes it seem like your a friend. I hope everything gets better!

Greetings from Canada, I love all the work you do and you always continue to impress, all of us go through tough times, keep your head up and sunny roads will be ahead!

get well soon man , ive missed your videos , i stuck some stairtread traction strips on my mocs , be careful !!!

Hey Jeff, Thank you so much for the reply, you are like family to us and we have been worried about you. Sorry about your tough times, take your time and get yourself back on the sunny side of the street, rest assured we will be waiting here for your return. Prayers your way my friend & take care of yourself.

Times like these thing's can only get better.

Sending positive thoughts from a fellow Wisconsinite! We all have out bad days. Ill keep you in mind when wrenching in the garage. I've learned al lot of great things from your channel. Thanks!

Wishing you the best of luck and a speedy recovery mate! Cheers from the West Australian goldfields.

For some reason the bad stuff always hits us while we're down.... I hope you get to feeling better and you in the truck will looks better than new in no time!

There are no words that I could say to help you heal on the inside, I just want to let you know that you are the kind of person that when I wake up in the morning you help me to stick around for the next day. My friend(if I may call you that) You and I have no choice we have to push thru ALL of our days here. People like you are rare!

Sorry to hear the bad luck, things have got to be on the incline. Love and miss your videos, I among most everyone tuning in learn alot from you, you are a wealth of knowledge and a great guy! Reast up, hope to see you soon.

Hey Jeff... Sorry things weren't going well a month or 2 back... Cool truck wrecked or not... STX I remember like it was yesterday... I still have my mom's 1987 XLS Bronco ii I'm starting to put back together... So my big thing I want to say thank you for: Thanks ever so much for showing us all how to build the waste oil burners from a wood fireplace... I finally made my "copycat" of yours built and inspired by yours on your video.today I just got the chimney in and I got to watch it run for the first time today! Woo Hoo!!! Couldn't have done it with out you though so I hope things are going better now anyhow. Again thanks so much for your videos and your knowledge... I'll now be able to warm myself easily...

Sorry to hear about your incident and the truck. Hoping you all the best to healing and better luck!

God bless and keep well. We missed you

Glad to hear from you. Sorry it’s under these circumstances! I grew up in Wisconsin. I happened upon your channel a while back and couldn’t stop watching. You bring me back to memories of my uncles tearing apart and rebuilding so many different things. You have a type of resiliency I can only describe to people in the south. Thanks for sharing a bit of home with me! We’ll push through this together.

sorry to hear, have really missed your videos. take care you will get through this. I have a ton of admiration and respect for you

All the best to you. Get well quick.

Your health, I understand the concerns. The truck, IT’S MATERIAL!! Glad you are healing...

Hey there, I feel sorry for you. Seems like your 2020 is not that great. But you can still be happy you have survived all of those incidents. I think we're all looking forward for a better year 2021! Hope to see some great content and videos of you sharing your experience with us on YT then. Get well soon and have a merry christmas and a happy new year! Stay strong - you are great! Greets from Germany

Hey! Hang in there. Were all rooting for you!!! Glad to hear your ok. Lots of love from VA.

2020...... just be reatful for what ya got man. kinda hard right now but things will get better. Your badass buggy got me into your channel and I thank you for that. Always wanted to build one, I have a 74' CB450 honda twin i should get running and do that.

Hope your feeling better Jeff, wishing you better luck for 2021

Jeff,I have followed your videos for quite some time and you've taught me a whole lot, especially about being creative. You have had some terrible luck in the last few years, but I know you'll find a creative way to solve life's problems. I look forward to many more videos about that truck. I was born in 86 and that style ford ranger reminds me of my childhood. We never had a new one but have spent a ton of time wrenching on the several we had to keep a good one on the road and overworked. Thank you and well wishes sir.

Wow Jeff! usually watching your videos makes me feel bad...about myself. Always packed with your ingenuity and exceptional skills. It takes time to heal and we don’t bounce back as we would in the younger years. Looking forward to see your creativity we you’re on the other side of this streak of bad luck.

Sorry to hear about all your troubles. You give so much inspiration and motivation to so many people on here, thru your informative and entertaining videos. just remember that.

Hi Jeff, thanks for all the great videos you have posted - you have such amazing abilities. Sorry to see you have had a run of really bad luck and going through a tough time... I hope your jaw is on the mend and you get a run of good luck now like you deserve. Keep going - really looking forward to seeing new projects. Sending best wishes

HOLY COW>>>>> So sorry to hear about your rough luck lately..... I've had patches like that myself.... It's really hard when you work so hard to keep you things in nice shape for as long as you have to hit a setback like that.... The most important thing is YOU... Hopefully you can get your health back and things will turn around...There's a lot of folks out here who sure enjoy your content, and your innovative solutions to things around the shop!!! HANG IN THERE.... We'll all say a prayer or 2 for you and keep you in our thoughts... Take Care Pal!!

Glad to hear your ok. You'll get through this rough patch

I'm sorry to hear about your bad luck. I enjoy all your videos, please stay positive as you move forward in life. Best of luck my friend.

I know this is late but there are better days my man! I sure hope you start feeling better and things start working out better for you. Try not to let it get you down

Nice to see ya back again....God bless. Really miss your videos.

Wow Jeff, I don't even know where to start. What I can do though is offer prayers that you get through these challenging times soon and get back to that innovative, smart, hard working guy with a zeal for life that we all know and love. Hang in there brother, I'm pulling for you. God bless and here's to hoping for some great reasons to celebrate Christmas this year.

One of the more frequent phrases in the Bible is " It came to pass ". This too shall pass and brighter days will come. Keep your thoughts on that brighter future brother!

Hope things get better for you . I enjoy your videos ... keep up the nice videos very informative and entertaining 👍

Jeff, thank you for what you do! I hope you get better quickly. I look forward to watching more interesting and instructive videos! Let us know how you're doing.

Hey Jeff, so sorry to hear about your run of bad luck:( Thanks for the update.... We sure look forward to your next video's. Life is hills and valleys.... Enjoy the highs, and know that the lows don't last.....

God bless you my friend. Oh what a couple three years or what? My heart's with you. Keep going. What doesn't kill makes us stronger. That's what they say having never gone through such things. Good luck.

Good luck Jeff. Praying you have a speedy recovery. Thank God you can fix anything.

Sorry to hear your bad news. I hope things get better soon.

sorry to hear about your troubles but wish you the best going forward.

The only good part of low points is that it can only get better. Get healthy, cheer up and split up which may be overwhelming problems into smaller solvable items.

Hey Man Hang in there bro, You are Amazing at what you do, the world NEEDS more guys like you! You got this

Hey Man. Sorry for what you are going through. I had some down months as well a couple of years back as well. I am almost back to my old self now. Just remember, there are always people out there worst off than you and I. Life sucks sometimes, but bad times make us better people in the end. Thanks for sharing.🍁👍👍😉

Keep your head up buddy. We have all been there and done things we wish we hadn’t. Hope the jaw heals up nice as it can. As for the mechanical automobile, things can always be fixed with the proper amount of work and money. What can’t be fixed or bought is a life. What you didn’t lose during all this is not even comparable. Count your blessings, mourn your vehicle, dust off and focus on all the things that you do have. You have your amazing brain that can do anything and you have a ton of cool gadgets and items that you love. You have a giant shop filled with things people would love to have and so many things that hold sentimental value. Just think about all that you are blessed with and your days will be bright. Take care buddy. Look forward to seeing some new projects!

Greetings from Norway. I have been waiting for a new nice video from you, and wondered about why it have been a while since last one, Well, now I know. Hope you recovers fast and find the way to your wokshop to gain energy and make a video or two that reveal a trick or two on how you solve for you the small but for others impossible mechanical faults/issues.

I hope your feeling better.

Sure hope you're doing better! God bless and Merry Christmas!

Hello Doug. Thank you for your kind thoughts. So much appreciated which keeps me going. Yes several issues. Getting better and will be posting again soon.

Sorry to hear both things I hope things get better for you.

Hey Jeff , wondering what happened to you . I started watching you for 5 -6 years ago when you did the Kubota tractor mods . I was very impressed , to say the least . I've watched just about all your videos and sharing the knowledge you have tells me your a good guy and some one I wish I could have as a friend .You know life is real tough at times and your at a low right now , but things will get better man . some people undeservedly live a charmed life and others struggle , its not fair . I really am sorry your feeling bad , but hang in there brother .

Sorry to hear your bad news. Get well.

Sorry for your fall and truck. I hope you're better now.

Damn bud!! I just love watching your videos and they make me happy seeing you build and fixing things. We watch youtube and have channels we enjoy and get to feel like we actually know the people making them, even though we do not have any clue what the people are really like. I can tell 100% that you are in a bad place right now, hang in there man, it will get better. It seemed like the truck was a real tough topic to talk about , i suspect this sadness that came across to us viewers is coming from a deeper issue than the truck. I hope you find your way out of this funk!! Get well soon , we missed you and will be waiting for you to return when you are ready.....

Jeff, Sorry to hear about the bad times you've come upon; I've been in circumstances where I've messed up my truck too. Never feels good, but so long as you're still alive and kicking, that's what counts. Much love from our neck of the woods, hang in there.

I know it's been a year ago but hopefully you are in a better place now! I always enjoyed your videos and looking forward to many more.

When I was down and out a few years ago, I found your channel and you brought me great happiness! I was out of a job (back in 2007 the economy killed the motorcycle scene), nearly out of money and trying to afford a root canal all the while supporting my new family and new born daughter. When life gets atrocious to bear, good people like you can be the life saving relief that many need. I am very sad to hear of your atrocious endeavors recently. I will pray for your jaw to heal quickly and straight. Your truck accident I feel is a test of your awesome skills of which I wish I had 10% of. A new project for you to bring back to perfection, with your skills I know that you can do. After your stomach butterflies and the bad mental mojo that is sure to arise, considering what you have gone through, please know that we all feel sad for you and I for one am most grateful that you are still alive to share your bad times. It is better than not hearing from you ever again. You are in my prayers!
