JEG's Garage

JEG's Garage

This channel started out with a way to share fun videos...when I only had a few posted. It has turned into more of a tool to show others some of my projects, as well as helping anyone that I can with various hobbies. The main focus of my channel from this point forward will be focused on automotive. Mainly thirdgen f-bodies, and more specifically, swapping in later LS series motors.

Of course, Im a real guy...so there will always be videos of my son, or the occasional gun tech, or other random things. So enjoy it for what it is! If you would like to see something specific, I would surely do my best to accomodate! Rather than make a new channel, Im choosing to just keep my current (and very old) channel going. So check back often to see if there is anything new!

Also thank you for the subs! All views and subs help me out. I choose to monetize my videos and any proceeds go directly to funding my project and to making more videos!

    Do whatever you want with your car, but don't do this to your customer's. Also, realize that there's not much room on top of the tank, the fuel and vapor lines, wires will all be sandwiched in-between the floorplan and tank. It is super easy to cut something you'll regret.

    Thanks for pointing me to the tail light socket. When I removed the wire harness plug, I could see two of the six pins in the socket were coated with greenish gunk while the other four pins were bright and shiny. Also, residue on the surface inside the socket around the gunked-up pins suggest the pins had been submerged in water sometime during the past 19 year life of my 2005 Highlander. I removed the gunk using a dental probe, just like cleaning plaque off teeth. There still seemed to be some burned varnish on the surface of the pins. So I sprayed some contact cleaner on a thin cloth wrapped around a tiny screwdriver and got the two pins mostly clean. I then sprayed the contact cleaner into the socket and did a few cycles of connecting and disconnecting the wire harness plug. Problem solved!

The connection seemed very loose to the bulb that held the wiring harness, so I reinforced with some electrical tape. Seems like it is pretty snug in place now. Thanks again for sharing this!

    Condemn is a strong word. Dislike is better. Worn out rag joints can suck. But even good rag joints don't feel as positive as the u-joints. Some like that road feedback.

However, to your new point about the slip joint, these 100% are a slip joint, actually they collapse way easier than the factory shaft which becomes seized over time, and most people that use them do not have full frame cars. Not sure why full frame vs unibody would make a difference in the shaft needing to collapse... All good. These are solid ujoint, collapsible steering shafts that save space, provide a good steering feel, at a fraction of what aftermarket setups run. Nothing more.

    @@JEGsGarage It's not just an opinion, it's a good healthy debate between 2 mechanical minds. The unibody vs full frame is the movement between the steering column and steering box. When a body is on rubber bushings the distance is constantly changing. It may only be 1/4" but there is movement. Trucks have them too. Slip joint is not the same as collapse. The collapse is for accidents.
