Keywords

💡bomie

The bomie refers to the vehicle that is the main project being worked on in the shop throughout the video. It is described as an old bomb-looking vehicle that is being rebuilt and restored. The bomie seems to be the central focus around which much of the video's narrative revolves.

💡engine

The engine is repeatedly referenced in the video script as a core part of working on the bomie. Much discussion focuses on removing, rebuilding, and re-installing the engine in the bomie. The engine represents a key mechanical component that enables the function and performance of the bomie.

💡restore

To restore means to return something old or damaged to its original good condition. Restoring the bomie, through work like engine repairs, new parts, and cosmetic improvements, is a main goal and theme of the video's narrative.

💡rebuild

Similar to restore, to rebuild means to reconstruct or renovate something that is worn out or broken. Rebuilding the bomie's engine and other components is a central activity described in the video script.

💡project

The bomie is referred to as a project - an undertaking or piece of work requiring effort over time. The video chronicles the ongoing project of restoring the vintage bomie vehicle.

💡parts

Parts refers to the many mechanical components that make up a vehicle. Installing new parts is shown as key to upgrading and restoring the bomie.

💡vintage

Vintage describes something old but prized or classic. The bomie is a vintage vehicle, meaning it is old but valued for its age and original design.

💡performance

Upgrading parts like the engine aims to boost the bomie's performance - its speed, power, and capabilities. Better performance is a goal of the restoration.

💡transmission

The transmission is mentioned as one part upgraded on the bomie. It transfers power from the engine to the wheels.

💡axle

Axles are shafts connecting the wheels on vehicles. Upgrading the bomie's axles improves its suspension and load capacity.

Transcripts

play00:00

good morning it is another day of

play00:02

working in the shop and look the Bombi

play00:04

is back Robbie and his team did amaz

play00:07

there what's the word above amazing he

play00:09

did too good of a job for what the

play00:11

bombie is but we're going to accept it

play00:13

here's the deal yesterday we were

play00:14

working in the shop but we were not

play00:16

working on the bomie we were working on

play00:18

the banana and in the middle of that

play00:20

Robbie showed up with this in toe so

play00:23

what happened is we finished the banana

play00:25

we pushed it out of the shop we pushed

play00:27

the Bombi in but let's show you that

play00:30

work and then we're going to get back on

play00:31

the bombie I know Tom has some things he

play00:33

wants to do I know Caitlyn has things

play00:34

she wants to do and there's things that

play00:36

I want to

play00:37

[Music]

play00:42

do so with Robbie's Jeep being at a

play00:45

standstill that opened up a space in the

play00:47

bay here and we brought the banana in

play00:49

cuz it needs some help look at this

play00:50

thing lean well we got to get rid of the

play00:52

lean so we got to level up the shocks

play00:54

whatever that takes and then we we have

play00:57

this amazing transfer case that's been

play00:59

sitting in a conx box for years I'm

play01:02

thinking it's time it goes in this so

play01:04

years ago we bought this hero case right

play01:07

here do you even know what it was for

play01:08

did you have a project in mind it was

play01:10

for the banana and then when I got it

play01:12

I'm like this is way too beefy for the

play01:14

banana it didn't make any sense to bolt

play01:16

this monster in there but now that the

play01:18

banana has a 4.6 golen stroker a beefed

play01:21

up transmission it's got one ton axles

play01:24

the Adams Drive Shafts now this kind of

play01:27

makes sense this kind of makes sense

play01:29

little 231 J transfer case that's in

play01:32

there has held up really well it's been

play01:35

a little rockar it has but it's starting

play01:38

to get some chain slap the chain slap is

play01:40

the first indication that it's time to

play01:42

rebuild so I don't want to rebuild I

play01:44

want to put this in and in the process

play01:45

we're getting a better gear ratio so Tom

play01:47

is going to be building the Twin stick

play01:49

we're going to be building that from

play01:50

scratch so that it will fit that and fit

play01:53

this so I really like the O struts I

play01:56

think they are amazing but when the

play01:58

weather changes they do stuff like this

play02:01

so see how this is leaning I don't know

play02:04

why it's leaning I just know that every

play02:06

winter like when it gets cold enough I

play02:09

have to readjust it and then when it

play02:11

warms back up I have to let some air out

play02:13

of them I feel like they do everything

play02:15

they're supposed to do except for you do

play02:17

have to mess with them when the weather

play02:20

changes and it's been really cold really

play02:22

really cold so I'm going to get these

play02:24

hooked up and we're going to see if we

play02:25

can get this thing leveled out and make

play02:27

it through the rest of the winter and

play02:28

then we'll let some of the kn nren out

play02:30

come summer so we took some measurements

play02:32

off the transfer case I showed Matt what

play02:34

we've got for a design for this bracket

play02:36

to do our twin stick shifter I have to

play02:38

take it now and turn it into something

play02:40

that the computer out there will

play02:41

recognize and we can cut out of steel

play02:43

what are you doing Kobe oh I'm making

play02:45

invites for special people for the

play02:46

off-road games I edited the invites I

play02:50

send the invites so the rear struts seem

play02:53

to have the right amount of pressure in

play02:55

them so that means that the problem is

play02:58

probably entirely the front strut so all

play03:00

of these struts don't get the same

play03:02

amount of air pressure in them to sit

play03:03

level some Corners are heavier than

play03:05

others so what I did is I equalized them

play03:08

which made this sad which made it seem

play03:10

like it made the problem worse but

play03:11

instead I set a

play03:13

baseline this side is screwed

play03:16

down it's

play03:22

going oh boy what's going on here hey

play03:25

it's Rob this isn't very

play03:28

play09:05

to take all the stuff out of the cab and

play09:08

play09:13

that all right I'm going to need a

play09:15

bucket for nuts and bolts cuz we're

play09:17

going to have lots of them well this

play09:19

works we're in an organization mood so

play09:21

we're going to try

play09:22

to some sort of

play09:25

organiz sorry Robbie I scratched it

play09:28

somebody had to put the first scratch on

play09:29

it it's just a little

play09:32

one oh you made it worse you tried to

play09:35

rub it out and you rub the dust into

play09:41

it hey guys what are you doing over

play09:43

there so I think that's all the pieces

play09:45

on this that hold this top bed on we

play09:48

should be able to pick this up and go

play09:49

set it aside so we can get our engine in

play09:52

now so what's going to happen here is

play09:55

this is going to answer the question not

play09:56

just in theory but in practice how we we

play09:59

can take the engine out and put it back

play10:00

in how are we ever going to do it stick

play10:03

around we'll show you so these are the

play10:05

bumpers for when the door goes all the

play10:06

way open so it doesn't hyp extend the

play10:08

hinges and just kind of Crash metal into

play10:11

metal so I'm going to put these on right

play10:13

so back it up

play10:31

okay okay all right I all the rubber

play10:34

compressing yeah I'm like whoa whoa the

play10:37

thing about power tools is they have

play10:39

enough power to tear apart the thing

play10:41

that you're working on that's how they

play10:42

play17:17

would never off-road again your family

play17:20

needs you help Daddy but Matt kidnapped

play17:24

my family he took everything from

play17:27

play17:59

here's a few more contestants to cheer

play18:01

you up okay I'm spotting someone in

play18:04

Mischief maker and don't want to have

play18:05

noodle arms so I'm going to be doing

play18:08

this for I mean 10 seconds a

play18:12

day

play18:16

no so since I can't be down to San

play18:19

Hollow I'm up here in Northern Utah bare

play18:21

lake at a cabin for the weekend with a

play18:22

bunch of different YouTubers so we're

play18:23

just up here doing snow

play18:25

recoveries It's All or Nothing

play18:32

got to something for

play18:34

you I don't know what this will get you

play18:36

at the games you will sweeten the deal a

play18:39

little bit

play18:40

[Music]

play18:43

oh driver driver no your other

play18:49

driver am I old enough to be

play18:51

participating the off-road games so how

play18:53

are we light Bri getting ready for

play18:55

Matt's off-road games well don't mind

play18:58

that my uh Jeep TJ is in total pieces

play19:01

right now cuz that's not important so we

play19:03

figured since the buggy would probably

play19:05

be a little bit overkill for some of the

play19:07

trails that we'll be doing we figured

play19:08

we'd make it a little bit interesting

play19:10

not just for the driver but for all of

play19:12

you watching a little

play19:14

passenger hey the other passenger these

play19:18

guys are awesome I can't wait to watch

play19:19

them and guess what I can't wait to

play19:21

watch one of you compete in the off-road

play19:23

games that's right one of you will be

play19:25

competing in the off-road games being

play19:27

spotted through by some sort of

play19:29

so-called expert Matt how do you enter

play19:31

first of all go to the worldwide

play19:33

interweb and download the Matts Offroad

play19:35

recovery app step two watch for the live

play19:38

stream on the app January 30th 400 p.m.

play19:40

mountain standard time we're going to be

play19:42

going live we're going to be talking to

play19:43

you giving away prizes and we will pick

play19:45

a winner that is coming to the off-road

play19:47

games and we'll just pay for the whole

play19:49

thing the higher the tier you are on the

play19:51

app the higher the chances of you

play19:52

winning just to be clear we are going

play19:54

live on the app it's not going to be on

play19:55

the YouTube platform make sure to get

play19:57

permission from your spouse and tell

play19:59

your boss that you are not coming to

play20:00

work till the live stream is done cuz

play20:02

you want to drive something like this

play20:05

back to the

play20:07

build how's it going

play20:10

[Music]

play20:11

phone one side of this is

play20:15

long that's this side

play20:20

where this I imagine is this that's got

play20:23

to press in there further for this to

play20:27

work

play20:29

it did I'm going to watch a YouTube

play20:31

video to see if I'm doing these seals

play20:33

right but it just seems like they're

play20:34

dropping in there too easy to actually

play20:36

make a seal I'm might have to put some

play20:38

silicone around them and and silicone

play20:41

doesn't work in a lot of applications if

play20:43

there's any motion like if it moves in

play20:45

and out a little bit I don't know I want

play20:47

to figure it out all right I watched the

play20:49

video I don't think the guy is a

play20:50

Certified mechanic so I didn't learn

play20:53

anything I'm just going to put a little

play20:55

bit of uh the right stuff around it and

play20:58

just press it in there I'll feel better

play21:00

about that it'll either help or it'll

play21:03

hurt or it'll do absolutely nothing this

play21:06

is where we find ourselves today I don't

play21:09

think that's going to

play21:12

hurt so let's

play21:16

install

play21:26

okay so now we we got the red in the

play21:31

front we got the little bit of red in

play21:33

the back is that it for today yes all

play21:37

right the team got a lot done today they

play21:39

worked really hard and got this done not

play21:42

only that other things we got these in

play21:45

so we can put the engine in tomorrow it

play21:47

is a new day we were working in the shop

play21:49

today and Matt's not quite here yet so

play21:51

that means we're doing whatever we want

play21:52

right now I really want to see what's

play21:54

inside this motor and I want to get the

play21:56

flex plate bolted on and torqued before

play21:58

play21:59

won't let me torque the bolts it's

play22:01

play27:11

milestone in the bomi build and that is

play27:14

to get this engine stuffed in that

play27:17

engine base

play27:19

okay really

play27:26

slow

play27:28

okay boom

play27:30

in okay let's pull that stand

play27:47

off this close to being stuffed

play27:51

in you want to test fit that real quick

play27:54

that's not the one we need the one

play27:55

play28:33

okay okay get the get the starting flu

play28:36

itself right

play28:48

go drink

play28:56

again

play29:08

it's not picking up any uh it's a little

play29:11

bit you have any fuel cuz it's picking

play29:13

up oil pressure but it's not picking up

play29:14

any fuel pressure we are on a search for

play29:17

a starter and I think the old one that

play29:20

was on the bombie originally is out here

play29:22

and might work on this

play29:24

engine that's good right there go look

play29:27

at

play29:30

that sadly this isn't going to work this

play29:32

starter is offset just like the other

play29:34

one we need one with two bolts in a row

play29:36

not like staggered okay we're not

play29:38

totally out of luck yet we got one more

play29:40

place we can look for a starter look at

play29:42

that it's already been removed for us

play29:44

it's sitting here waiting is that the

play29:47

right yeah they're they're pretty much

play29:49

in a line I think I think this one will

play29:52

work we're going to try

play29:56

it oh yeah that's going to work we still

play30:00

need the starter

play30:01

bolts but we're getting

play30:07

closer gas spr

play30:15

again I wasn't ready

play30:19

ouch that's a broken starter

play30:23

nose yeah okay turn the key off key off

play30:26

I okay oh man we were so close do you

play30:29

want to push start

play30:36

it it wouldn't wouldn't take second yeah

play30:39

put it in first

play30:41

again

play30:44

I'm that clut is frozen all right we got

play30:48

distracted for a second they're going to

play30:49

go try to get that running I watched my

play30:51

hands of it we're back on the important

play30:53

thing not going to lie I'm kind of

play30:55

interested to see how that ends

play31:00

yeah okay you directing them I'll try

play31:02

and guide the

play31:05

engine we're not going to have him do

play31:07

anything but go up and down

play31:10

who

play31:14

okay whoa

play31:17

easy RI down just a

play31:22

little okay I'm trying to steer the rear

play31:25

transmission mount in the spot make sure

play31:28

oh

play31:30

wow okay just go down really

play31:34

slow I'm going to have to go in and pick

play31:36

up the tail yeah you can just steer the

play31:38

rest of this okay okay I'm trying to get

play31:42

them into

play31:43

the how's that engine mount look is it

play31:45

in the group okay come down a half

play31:50

inch oh we're in we're

play31:56

in

play31:59

I need the tail shaft to go a little

play32:01

passenger as

play32:04

[Music]

play32:07

well

play32:08

wow no we look pretty far off well it

play32:12

might be wrong it might be this used to

play32:26

fit

play32:30

it pulls Willies in

play32:33

second it's it's faster than the

play32:38

Tangerine hey oh my you look like you

play32:41

just like I don't know I don't know when

play32:45

the when the front tires pick up when I

play32:47

grab second though it's frightening you

play32:49

look like you saw a ghost

play32:52

woo I did because when it took off it

play32:55

took off I telling people to get out of

play32:58

the way I'm coming through grinder on

play33:02

top of those mounts cuz they're just too

play33:06

high the ones that's welded to the body

play33:08

are just too tall okay gentle

play33:12

up the brackets down here that hold the

play33:15

transmission mount they're just sticking

play33:16

up too high so we can't squeeze it in

play33:18

there everything's really tight because

play33:20

of this dog house and the clearances so

play33:23

we're going to cut those down lower and

play33:24

try to fit this thing in again

play33:29

okay it's past quitting time I thought

play33:32

this was just going to drop in this

play33:33

morning but it's still going in and out

play33:36

it might have a couple more left yeah so

play33:38

Caitlyn's taking off some of the other

play33:40

Crews already taken off we're going to

play33:43

try one more time and then one more time

play33:46

after that as many times as it takes

play33:48

that's how many times we're going to try

play33:49

good luck slow slow

play33:53

red

play33:55

okay is yours on mine's in all like

play33:59

almost lined up your bolts in

play34:03

no okay right side it down a

play34:06

little this used to

play34:11

fit and you

play34:13

through we're not connected to anything

play34:15

so we might need to completely modify

play34:17

that

play34:19

mount oh we scratch some paint good

play34:22

thing the bed covers that right yes does

play34:24

the bed cover that I think that's a

play34:26

little high

play34:27

does we need to get some touchup paint

play34:29

from Robbie all right let's push this

play34:32

back in the sou and then we can sit down

play34:35

and wonder where we went wrong all right

play34:37

it has been an incredibly long day

play34:40

things didn't go like super smooth you

play34:42

saw that but the engine is in it looks

play34:45

like we're going to have to slightly

play34:46

modify this Mount I don't know why

play34:48

because we pulled it out and then

play34:50

nothing changed did that other one have

play34:52

an oil pan on it no that would never had

play34:55

an oil pan on it this might be bad

play34:56

backwards it could be if that's the case

play34:59

all we got to do is grind

play35:01

outside we got some things to try so

play35:04

we're going to figure out why this

play35:05

doesn't work Rhett just came up with a

play35:06

good idea he thinks that we set the

play35:08

other one up without an oil pan which

play35:10

means we wouldn't have had an

play35:11

interference with the oil pan that may

play35:12

be the problem we're going to work on it

play35:14

next video thanks for watching
