 Hello, Mojo. Nobody's in here. Alright, so this is where we left off yesterday. I don't think I filmed it, but I used a giant torch, a cutting torch, and cut off the bolts of the sink because they were too rusty. This is a frame that we have so far. Justin is a very good learner, a very fast learner, and a very proficient welder, and I was happy to share the knowledge that I got from Mike and Badge and the guys at Colorado Custom Coachworks to show him my remedial welding skills, which is good enough, right? Like, this is going to be covered, so it might look ugly, but it's not in display. It's structural. So, today we are going to cut up some metal. It looks like these guys are already at it. We have a plasma cutter. We're going to try and cut some metal pieces, and we're just going to continue rebuilding with the steps here, and it's pretty cool. Let's go take a peek. I just want to take a brief second to thank Rafe Langston. I know I always get his name wrong. It's a little hard for me to pronounce, so I think it's Rafe or Rafe, but thank you so much for joining Patreon. So a couple of videos ago, I had a little rant, and I was a little frustrated, and I was trying to communicate as best I could a couple things going on as far as people getting harassed online and things like that, just because people have a Patreon. Now, me personally, I've invested tens of thousands of dollars. I have made tens of thousands of dollars from sponsors, and that's how I keep myself on the road. And so, with a hypothetical situation of having a breakdown, actually one of my friends and someone I look up to drew some similarities between it, and I just want to say I apologize for throwing out a hypothetical situation, because in fact, I was definitely not referencing this person or anyone in particular when I was mentioning the I'm-up-a-creek-with-out-a-paddle type of thing, and I guess what I was trying to do is differentiate my... The way that Patreon is seen, for me, like I said, it's easier to think about it as like a tip jar. You know, I used to open a can of beer, someone would gladly give me a dollar or two, and it was like nothing. And so I think what I was trying to communicate was that I'm out here spending hours and hours on videos, tens of thousands of dollars over almost three years, tens of thousands of miles, and thousands of hours working on this. And so it's like a double-edged sword because us YouTubers definitely feel, you know, we feel under attack sometimes. And really we are putting out content from our own pockets for people to consume without any payment whatsoever. And to be quite frank, the ads from YouTube, unless you are a very large channel, 50,000 or above, do not pay the bills. And it is essential that if you want to continue with a type of lifestyle, for me this personal dream of traveling and sharing it as entertainment, you know, it's very helpful. And so I just wanted to apologize to my friend for any sort of similarities with that because I was, at first I didn't understand the message I was reading, and then I was like, oh crap. Absolutely not am I trying to, you know, infer that someone is not deserving of help when they have trouble. It was more just a kind of to let people know this is a situation and trying to be transparent and throwing out my situation as an example and nothing more than that. So I was very, I was just overly apologetic and cautious of me explaining that situation. And I hope that makes sense because I'm definitely not trying to call anyone out whatsoever, especially not a friend of mine. All right, so he is just going at it right now by the way. Glenn told him how to operate this thing, didn't show him how to operate it, and he's just going for it. So I think I know what he's doing, but to explain, he's cutting the metal to recreate part of the lip where it touches the doors. So if anyone hasn't noticed, I put a gigantic list of thank yous at the end of my videos from now on. I didn't know how to properly thank everyone on a regular basis, the people who have helped me out with different jobs along the way. And so I put them out to all at the end of them, and there's a lot of people who don't even know that they're thanked. So if you've helped me out on this video, please watch it to the end of this video because you might be pleasantly surprised. And if I forgot someone, please let me know, and I will gladly include them in that because I, as you know, this took a completely different direction. It's been this giant collaboration, and I am so thrilled to have had such an amazing experience, you know, building with so many just fantastic people. And even though this thing has been a pain in the butt, that is my personal problems, right? I do get a little frustrated from time to time, but that's just all about managing expectations. And honestly, if you can manage expectations in life, life just becomes a little bit easier to deal with, you know, and also prepare for the unknown. Thank you. Wait, was I supposed to put the washer on the back? Yeah. Did you put it on the front? I did. Don't worry, you can edit this. I like to keep it real on this channel. I put the washer on the front. That's just a fact of life. Usually it's someone else when I say we, but this one's on me. I am putting and bolting back on, I don't know, we'll just call it the swivel mount for the steps, which don't exist yet. All right, so the thing that Justin Plasma cut is just to bump out and make flush this, I don't even know, bottom step, I guess we'll call it. So the door shut. Yeah. So anyways, we'll fill a weld, so it doesn't really matter if it's off, it's just more of a consistent width or something we could work with. All right, so we just clamped angle iron on angle iron, and Justin's just gonna weld it up. And after. I don't know, what do we think? Pretty good for a first timer. I am not speaking from a wealth of knowledge, but my small amount of knowledge was enough for mojo bus to complete this job. All right, here is an update on the oil. Let me take a sample, let me take a sample out of the tank. It is coming out the color of, that just gonna like this one. It's coming out the color of maple syrup, look at that. Nice amber color maple syrup, completely clear, and it just gorgeous, right? No debris whatsoever, if you can see that. It's like, you know, like a dark beer, like a Sam Adams. Like a good beer. So, many people are wondering about the denim jeans situation. Let me just show you how well the denim jeans filter out debris. I'm just gonna scrape on the inside of the denim jeans with my fingers, and I'll show you all of the residue left over from the jeans. This is all the nasty bits. This is the sludge that was coming out of the bottom of the tank when I first opened it, if you did see that video. It is all sorts of carbon. There is a little motor oil in this batch, but it is, this is all, everything denim jeans are catching is right here, and this was what was previously clogging my filter because it was not sufficiently filtered enough. I've done a bunch of homework on YouTube. People recommend filtering down to the smallest amount possible, 1 micron, 0.5 microns, 2 microns, and then putting it in your tank and then having a 10 micron filter on the way to the engine. So this is all sorts of already clogging, injector clogging garbage. So I just want to give you guys a little update on that. Picking up where we left off, this is the following day. I donated some rattle trap. Mojo is welding in the side supports. I just heard rumor that you might put astroturfers, is that right? That's a terrible joke from Glenn. We got a bad joke Glenn in there laughing his ass off. It's alright. I changed his name at Ace Rewards, so I got him good. Anyways, a little thank you to these guys for all the hard work they've done for me. I got them an upper radiator hose, thermostat housing, and a fuel filter. Alright guys, here's the update. I took off my suit. Why? Well, I got this off, and guess what? I snapped the nuts or the bolts in there, so I'm going to go buy a new water pump. We got the water hose off. That's a newer version, the kind that is not supposed to rub into the AC right here. But I feel so much more comfortable doing mechanics than I do carpentry. It's kind of funny, just kind of where I gravitated towards. But we're going to get Mojo bus all fixed up, and just a small token of my appreciation. And he's going to help me out and try and finish the rest of the bus next week. So it's a great trade in my opinion, and also a little payback for all the custom cabinetry as well. He's proud of the stairs that he's made. Looking good. You guys might recognize some of the rattle trap. He's going to cover the whole thing with more rattle trap. Yeah, and then build in a little shoe cubby. Alright, we are midway through. We got off the fan clutch, fan blade, sorry, the fan. And then, yeah, all the lower radiator hose, sensor. So we just have, it's basically just, you take the bolts out, you put it back on, that's it. To simplify it. Look, Mom, I'm learning. This is the first water pump I've ever taken off. And it is nice to learn how to do things like this, even if you accidentally break off a bolt like right there. And like right here. Sorry, I broke your bolt, dude. We're going to do water pump, right? There you go, water pump's on me. Alright, so we got the bus back put together, just like we started, but we just went in reverse. Let's check down here with Justin. Wait a second, Justin, why are you draining the coolant again? Just sound like a good idea. You're not going to believe this. We're going to have to do the whole job over again. I'm just leaking from the water pump. I know. I know what you're thinking. It's going to be an awesome time. Are you excited? At least we know what we're doing this time. Water pump times two. Well, I was getting myself ready, grabbing a new gasket. And sleeping in. Thank you, Glenn. This is what happened to our gasket that came with it. For some reason it got sucked up and one of the blades chewed it and spit it back out. And so Justin took all this stuff off by himself in one hour. That's what happens when you do things. When you go to water pump boot camp, we'll call it. So anyways, we got some water pump gasket maker, and I'm sure somebody already knows that we should have done this to begin with. People like Badge and other mechanics, like this around where the gasket is, and try not to make two mistakes twice. Alright, you see some shiny new things. We got a new belt tensioner and a new thing. It's called an idle pulley. That bad boy right there. And since I was on the bottom yesterday, we were swapping. So my back hurts. I haven't used muscles I haven't been using for a while. Make sure all the mechanics know what I'm talking about. And yeah, so we got a new one of this, a new one of these. You know what's funny, buying this whole part here was just as expensive as buying these individual parts with bearings. So yeah, a lot of new shiny parts on this bus. On a scale of one to old man, I'm feeling like retired, maybe just tired. But we got it done. Thank you guys for all your help on my bus. And like I said, it is a pleasure that I could assist you guys with everything we did here. Thank you. No, thank you guys. I still have a big debt going on with these guys here. But we're going to end this video. We finished up, we put it back together. Everything is life is puppies and ice cream. We got that done. We're still going to work on the steps. That's pretty minor because they're already welded in. We'll let you know after we drive. See you.
