Welcome to Spirit'ed Wrenchers. Art & Dana here. We're glad you stopped by to follow along on our journey and share some of our passions with us. We discovered on a number of occasions that we just couldn't find content on what we wanted to see, especially with a couple wrenching together so here we are.
Our name gives a clue to a couple of our passions which include wrenching on our 5 cars (1970 Ford Mustang Coupe, 1972 Chevy C10, 2012 Toyota 4 Runner Trail, 2016 Subaru WRX & 2022 Hyundai Sante Fe Caligraphy Edition), and our love for spirits or liquor as many others know it. * Sorry, no spirit conjuring on this channel*.
Our weekly videos will include everything from simple maintenance, small to large upgrades, restomod work, gear reviews, as well as an episode of a highlighted spirit that we'll share the history & tasting of.
Sound like a journey you'd like to be a part of? Hit SUBSCRIBE & the bell plus share your feedback in the comments! We look forward to meeting you

I have problem that the sun shining through from the roof panels .... second how much weight can hold(snow)❤🙏🙏🙏
Hi Virginia. Thank you for watching. We appreciate it. We don't understand the problem you have. Sun will shine through these panels some as they are not metal. For the snow, please consult the manufactures site for details on what they advise.
Looking better and better in each episode and yall are having fun while getting it there.
Thank you for continuing to follow along with the build. Much appreciated!
Why does your new cabin air filter say MOBIS instead of Hyndai/Kia like your original one? Are you sure your dealership sold you an original part? Also? What is the normal interval for replacement? I have a 2023 and recently went in for oil change with 8500 miles. I told them not to replace or even check the air filters because I wasn’t going to change them yet. Since then, I’ve noticed a mostly smell coming from the air vents. I also noticed finger print (grease marks) by my glove box when I picked up the car- that tells me they did indeed at least check the filters when I told them not to). I suspect they stole my original filters and replaced them with older filters. I’m watching this video to learn how to check them myself. I’m so mad that the dealerships are so corrupt and no one can be trusted. They steal from their own loyal customers.
Needs a ZeboZAP
Thanks for watching and sharing. We appreciate it. Had to actually go look that up to see what it was. Pretty cool. We have no desire to put a TV outside so we'll pass. When we're outside, it's to get away from the TV and the rest of the world. I can see those being useful to others though. Cheers.
Why do you want to stay within the OEM weight limit? What are the risks of carrying 200 lbs of lumber for example?
Hi Jay, thanks for watching! The primary reason we want to stay within the weight limit is to prevent any failures of the crossbars themselves, but also to prevent any damages to the mount points on the roof rails. You may not notice any issues going slightly over, but your mileage may vary there. For us, we will use the trailer if we need to move heavier items and keep to the weight limit on the crossbars. Hope this helps; take care and stay safe!
Very Good! I would like to do the same for the brake and backup lights. Do you have videos for that as well?
Hi Bill. Thanks for watching and sharing the kind words. We appreciate it. We didn't do the bulbs for those as we felt they were sufficient with the lenses that we have. I say that but last week I was looking at the reverse lights and felt that I will likely upgrade those next. They could be a better white. I'll work on getting the bulbs for them soon. Stay tuned. Cheers!
what number chain did you use?
Hi Jorge. The links to all parts used are in the description of the video. Hope that helps. Cheers!
Absolutely super job; you're the best Dana. However at the very end you comment about re-setting the computer and the code. Do you have a video on how that is done? My 2008 Impreza is showing the identical issue and with your very clear guidance I can probably do the job myself. Thank you!
Great job brother That looks like a blast to ride. Please wear a real helmet stay safe on her.
Thank you very much for watching and sharing the kind words. We really appreciate it. We most certainly wear a helmet and gloves when we take this out to race with. It's a blast and we'll be making it even faster here soon. Stay tuned. Cheers!
Fantastic video! Confused why manufacturers don't just use a spin on filter. Seems ridiculous to need a "kit" to change oil. My new Sante Fe is getting changed this week at 500 miles. Again at 3000 then we can follow the manufacturer interval.
Can I get the link for the fan?
Hi Marcy. Thank you for the watching. We appreciate it. All links are in the description of the video. Hope that helps. Cheers!
A helpful video from pleasant people. That's a rare and beautiful thing. I will have my tablet nearby when I assemble my own. Thank you for taking the time and thought to share this.
HI Mr. Brown. Thank you so much for watching and sharing the incredibly kind words. We really appreciate you for that. We set a goal for both of our channels to create content to help others and we're so thankful that we have been accomplishing that goal. We hope you get many enjoyable and relaxing days under your gazebo. Come back and let us know how your assembly went. Cheers!
Ok, you almost lost me when you said you can always trust your local dealer. I put car dealers and politicians at #1 when it comes to people you cannot trust. When I took my daughters car in for the first free oil change which is a Sonata, the breaks were making a squealing sound, 7500 miles. They told me the brakes were glazed over and I needed new brakes. What a joke. The sound went away on its own. After getting the three free oil changes, I proceeded to do my own to discover they broke the air filter cover. Nice of them to let me know. Can't blame the mechanic in a way because I know they would take it out of his or her pay. I have seen videos by dealers' mechanics on how bad they are paid and treated. Later the car was rear ended, the body shop called and said that when they had to remove the rear bumper the blind spot sensors needed to be disconnected so they asked me if I could take it to the dealer and have it reprogrammed. I agreed and then the trouble starts again. They said that does not cause the sensors to need to be reprogrammed. Then they called and said yes that was all that was needed. Then they called back again and said no the sensors were bad. $3500 each sensor. Then they called back again and said no that was not it, the wiring was bad, another $3000. Then they called back and said the body shop did not get the body straight, they had a couple of thousands to work with, so I needed to take it back to the body shop to fix it right. When I get there to pick it up, I ask for old parts back, the lady called out to the service advisor hey insurance company's do not ask for old parts back do they? Of course, he replied was no they sure don't. That was when I asked to speak to a manager. I ask him why they called me four times to tell me it was a different problem. Little did he know I had already researched it on you tube and it is a fairly simple process. He picked up a business card holder and proceeded to portend it was a blind spot sensor and explain to me how they work. That conversation did not go well. After taking it back to the body shop, they called me and said it was fixed and wished they had called so I could come see when they had it apart. They said I was lucky the bumper did not fall off because they had only put 1 bolt and 1 clip back in. They said 1 sensor was loose, so they added another screw to keep it tight. Said the sensors were very dirty, so I can see why they said insurance company's do not ask for old parts back. Then they said they would have to take the car to them because they did want not me back there again. The lady said when she asked how much to reprogram the sensors because she had to write a check and send a helper, they said they would do her a favor and do it for $600. With favors like that who needs friends. Now I only communicate with dealers through text. I want a record of the conversation. That has since worked out well for me. If they refuse to communicate by text, I find another dealer. Have bought 2 more and both times I had to pull out my phone and show them the text. They ended up agreeing to what we agreed to in the text. I live in a state where you have to have second party consent to record, so when we text, I have consent.
Hi Allison. Thanks for watching and sharing your story with everyone. We certainly appreciate it. Your experience is certainly a tough one but it sounds like you set up a solid practice now to ensure what they say is what they do as well as understanding things without just taking their word for it. We do the very same thing. Stay safe out there.
Thanks for posting this. Im replacing mine tomorrow. 1 unrelated question, what bumper do you have on the front? I find the selection for these 2010-2012 models limited.
HI Adam. Thanks for watching and sharing the kind words. We really appreciate it. Good Luck with your upgrade. I'm sure you'll like them. Our bumper is actually a custom made one. I've had several folks ask me the same thing. It was made by a connection of the company that I bought the rig from so I don't know who it is but I wish I did so I could share it with everyone. Stay safe out there!
Got my eye on this one from same company, saw your link. Hows it holding up? Thanks
Thanks for watching and sharing Eric. Much appreciated. It's doing fantastic. Handling everything that I have needed it for so far. Hope that helps with the decision. I know it's not an easy one, but I wouldn't change a thing with the set up that I have.
Looks pretty good set up what size tire can it hold up to?
Hi Stephen. Thanks for watching and asking. We appreciate it. We’re running 33s, but the platform can be modified to adapt to larger based on what the customer has. Andy can help answer any specific questions you may have. Hope that helps. Cheers!
It gets hot asf under that gazebo, I have one
Hi John. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience with everyone. Cheers
Thank you SOOOO much from North Idaho! My wife thinks this is good so in my research I found your video. Thank you for a very informative and Helpful video and I will watch your build video as well!!
Hi ClarkLee. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your experience with us. We really appreciate it and are thrilled to have been a part of your gazebo build. Congrats on completing it yourselves. We hope you have many enjoyable days with it. Cheers!!!
We finally put ours together this week. We referenced your video many times! Thanks for sharing. This was super helpful!
Thank you so much for watching and sharing the kind words with us. We really appreciate it and honored to have been a part of your gazebo build. Congrats on completing it yourselves and we hope you have many enjoyable days under it. Cheers!
How did you end up anchoring the gazebo to the deck?
HI Karl. Thanks for checking out the video. We actually answer that question at the 6:15 timestamp in this video. Cheers
Thanks. I was wondering if you reinforced the deck before anchoring?
@@collo_karl You're welcome. We did not considering where our deck was, how our property shields a lot of the heavy winds and the deck has posts buried in the ground. If the gazebo pulls the deck boards up, we'll have bigger problems than losing the gazebo. LOL.
At least one injector has went bad on my 23 limited at 27k miles :/
Hello, and while I hit the like button on your comment, we certainly do not like that this has happened to you! This is definitely a warranty issue on the part of Hyundai! While we expect every new vehicle to roll off the factory floor in perfect condition, that doesn't always happen. This is why every single make and model of new car, SUV, and truck comes with a factory warranty. Sometimes the part delivered to the factory is bad, and sometimes the factory installation is bad. We hope that your dealership is able to make it right and fast!!! Take care and stay safe!
Well poop, I did not know spark plugs needed to be changed after 48,000 miles. My Santa Fe has 74,000 miles and have yet to change them. I guess I better get to changing them
LOL. Yeap and based on the way ours looked, I'm sure yours are pretty toasty now. Hahahah. Thanks for watching and sharing. We really appreciate it!
How’s it working for you all?
Hi Viky. Thanks for watching and asking. We appreciate it. I would love to say that it's doing great but have yet to get him on the road. We've been bouncing between projects and gotten deeper with modifications than we had initially planned. We hope to have him on the road this summer finally. I'm sure we'll have footage of it all so be sure to subscribe. Cheers!
How loud is it? Can you have a conversation without yelling while it running?
Hi Camaro. Thanks for watching and asking. We appreciate it. This is a tough question because it can be a matter or perception, how and where it's installed, etc. I can tell you that it's quieter than our old 25 gallon which was very loud. I don't mind it a when it runs. Cheers!
I had to do this...using the same exact kit. It was a pain in the butt haha
Hey Ken. Thanks for watching and sharing. We appreciate it. Yes, the kit is a big pain. It's not perfect but it's pretty damn close. We're thankful for it. Cheers!
Great video
Thank you very much for watching and sharing the kind words. We really appreciate that!
Thanks for this great video. Really helpful.
Hi Sally. Thank you so much for watching and sharing the kind words. It means a lot to us. We're very happy this episode was helpful for you. Stay safe out there!
this is one of the best paced and stepped guides I've ever seen for a car specific oil change. Full marks!
Hi We R Steltek. Thank you so much for watching and sharing such a powerfully positive comment. We greatly appreciate that. We try our best to demonstrate our how-to's so everyone can follow along and do them. Glad this one delivered on that mission. Stay safe out there!
I had a 1980 Plymouth Champ many moons ago. No matter how hard I beat on that thing it just kept going.🤣
LOL. I had no idea what that was until I looked up the pic. I remember those. Funny how the ugly ones keep on ticking after a licking. Hahaha. Thanks for watching and sharing!
I love it neat room temp
Hi Josh. Thanks for watching and sharing. We really appreciate it. We wished that we like Mezcal but it just wasn't for us but I'm glad there is more than 1 (Dana's brother) that likes it. LOL. Cheers!
Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you Jacob for watching and sharing the kind words. We really appreciate that and glad it was helpful to you. Stay safe out there!
Why did I enjoy the beginning of this video so much? 😅 Dana, how dare you call 1999 “the 1900’s” 😂😂
ROFL. Glad you enjoyed that. We had fun putting it together. You're right, we do sound so much older when someone says 1900's. Ugh. LOL. Thanks for watching and sharing!
❤
Thank you Sergio. We really appreciate that!
🎉🎉
Thank you for watching and sharing. We really appreciate it!
Interesting additions. Cooling about the bike... Hope y'all get lots of enjoyment from them.
Thanks Burke for watching and sharing. We certainly don't follow the masses with what's hot. It's all based on our likes and needs. I'm sure we'll have many miles of smiles with both of these (while keeping money in our pockets. LOL). Cheers!
What about AWD kia Sorento's? Any components that would need replacing or lubricants?
Hi DaddyBeetle, Happy Father's Day! Any AWD vehicle will have additional components beyond that which you can find in a standard FWD or RWD vehicle, such as both a front and rear differential. Without the owner's manual to reference the specific maintenance schedule, we wouldn't be of much help to suggest which of these services you can perform yourself at home and which are better left to the hands of a seasoned shop technician/mechanic. Hope this helps; take care and stay safe!
Hold on. All 2.5 Turbo Hyundai engines are dual injection. They have fuel injectors on the ports and direct injection. Since they already have a way to wash carbon deposits off the valves are you just going for the gold on this?
Hi Robert, thanks for making this note and watching. You are correct that this is a combination engine and while we are told that deposits shouldn't be a problem, provided that we are always using top tier gasoline and in lieu of that always using fuel additives per the owner's manual. Not all owners are fully aware of the differences between brands of gasoline, nor of the suggestion to use fuel additives when top tier is unavailable. Many will use the cheapest available and it's my guess that after many miles, build-up will occur. We ourselves don't always use the additives suggested, and we feel the occasional top-tier or additive use isn't going to back-clean the valves as good as an intake cleaner system such as this. Personally, I'd rather spend the time and money performing this service at home, even if for superstition to keep us out of the dealership service area later in the engine life (I guess that is going for gold, then?). Hope this helps offer some explanation; take care and stay safe!
Does anyone have a high output alternator? I've got a 99 runner and need advice on what size and manufacturer to go with... I'm trying to upgrade my 2000w amp to 3000watts. The output on these alternators are 💩!
About to go put one of these up for a client. This is sweet
Hi Enrique. Thanks for watching and sharing. We really you doing that and we're happy we could be of help for your clients build. Good luck.
Can't wait to see the DIY window tinting on the Metro. Lol
LOL. Thanks for watching and sharing Byron. We appreciate it. Not sure on the DIY window tinting. After pricing out good tint and factoring in time, it was the same price as paying someone else to do it. We'll see if things change when that time comes. Important things first. 😀
Nice additions! My buddy had a metro in HS and we used to beat on it a lot! The bike is rad too! I know all to well how picky the 80's bike carbs can be!!
LOL. I think a lot of people used to beat on these Metros. Hahahaha. Thanks for watching and sharing. We appreciate it!
Did you remove the crossbars of your santa fe?
Hi Anirah. Thanks for watching and asking. We appreciate it. We remove the bars and store them when they are not needed. Helps reduce wind noise. Hope that helps.
So funny and it looks like both will be really cool to jet around in/on. Thanks for the laughs and for sharing!
Thank you for watching and sharing. We appreciate you. Glad we could brings some laughs in this one. Cheers!
A Love bringing the D Line.
Bahahahaha. Now that is funny. Thanks for watching and bringing the humor my brother. We appreciate you!
Meguiar's works great. Meguiar's M4016 Mirror Glaze Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner, Restores Life and Color. Any heavy scuffs or scratches will still appear but your black rubber floor mats will be clean and have a dark appearance when laid back on the car floor. To surprise people, have 2 sets of floor mats, one for everyday use and a new set for showroom appearance. The biggest problem is the use of power tools and using hard bristle brushes. Using a pressure washer will damage your rubber mats too. Rinse mats with a garden hose, spray Simple Green, use a medium bristle brush and scrub easy, rinse, some times need to repeat the cleaning process, let dry, spay Meguiar's M4016 Mirror Glaze Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner, Restores Life and Color and use a microfiber towel to rub and work it in. All done, rubber floor mats look great. Do not purchase Adams or Chemical Guys mat cleaners since they are poor performers. 303 Aerospace Protectant is good but lacks in durability meaning in a few days mats are dirty afterall 303 is waterbased and protection fades quickly. McKee's 37 is overpriced for mediocre results.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for watching and sharing the kind words. We greatly appreciate it. Stay safe out there!
I love the fact you guys spoke about all of the pitfalls and things to look out for while assembling. I enjoyed the video, great work.
Hi Jake. Thank you very much for watching and sharing those kind words. We really appreciate it. After watching many other assembly videos skip things or present it as if everything goes together perfectly, we knew we could do better and really assist the consumer with their builds. We're incredibly thrilled that our mission has been a success so far. Take care and stay safe!
Same thing happened with mine. The tracks for the roof panels were bent right out of the box
Hi DelusionalsBrownsFan (love the name by the way). Thanks for watching and sharing. Hopefully you were able to bend them back into place so you could finish the build. Cheers!
We bought brass groumetts(eye lets) and added them to the bottom of the curtains as we get a lot of windy days. We then pulled string through them to to secure to our deck railings via Velcro straps so easy to remove Question, is it safer to have the curtains closed and zipped during very high wind storms (not tornado high) or open them up and tie them to the gazebo posts to let the wind pass through. We are in Ontario and sometimes .at most we get a wind storm of 100km. My dad says it’s safer to let the wind pass through so opening the curtains and tying them to the posts. What says you?
Hi J Joy. Thank you for watching and sharing with the community. We greatly appreciate it. As a Dad myself, I have to say yours has a good head on his shoulders. We recommend you follow his advice. It's exactly what we would, and have done. 🙂. Cheers!
Love fi subs
Hi Benjamin. Thank you for watching and sharing. We really appreciate it. Yes, I loved my fi subs. Was introduced to them by a close friend of mine that is no longer with us. Wish he and those subs were still around.
