Next video: Putting my employee's car on bags and a widebody while they're on vacation
-
Running a CT scan on potential components is both genius as quite possibly the most impressive tech flex I've ever seen. Bravo 💪🏼👌🏼
-
I love seeing Alex in videos, he has this very "i did my research but still have no clue so we're just gonna wing it" attitude that's amazing for videos.
-
I very much appreciate you guys not just jamming LED bulb "retrofits" into the old housing for so many reasons. They do blind people, and don't usually have a very effective beam pattern. Your xenon projectors came out looking great for the amount of cutting you needed to do. This was probably my favorite video you have done in a while. It would be so cool to see more old car upgrades.
-
I love that you're running into normal car person problems. buying the right part but for a different trim, the bumpers held on by zip ties, etc
-
Daym, I don't expect a new series of Pimp My Ride 2024: Linus Edition :face-blue-smiling::face-blue-smiling:
-
13:50 "I can be the asshole that blinds people!" "No, we aimed them..." "Like up?" "No down, you won't blind people." "Oooh man, I want to blind people." Gold.

As an automotive enthusiast who's also a tech nerd, it makes me so happy to see you make a video like this!
-
Linus using his employees car to get tips on how to paint his bike is the most linus thing in this vid xD
-
As a automotive technician im glad the customer was happy and you guys had a great time modding it! (internal screaming)

Until I watched this video, I had no idea cab filters existed. I followed the instructions to change mine, and it was caked in leaves and mold from 2 years of existence in Florida. So I went to an auto parts shop and bought an M95 quality filter. It made a heck of a lot of difference. I don't smell musky air when I first start the engine, and my nose opens up. I owe Linus a thanks. I've been harming my health all this time and didn't know. Update: Will people stop dogpiling me for not knowing about Cabin Filters? For Pete’s sake, It's like saying, "How could you not know there was a needle in that haystack? For shame!". I mean, the thing is BEHIND the glove box. You expect me to know to look back there? I'm a tech nerd, not a mechanic. Calm your teats!

Now I can OFFICIALLY confirm that LMG can debut into automobile/automotive works......!!!! CAR repairs , modification etc...!!!
-
Thank you for not using drop in LED bulbs in a reflector housing. Correctly levelled HID bulbs are so much better for everyone.
-
Jake and Alex need a car channel asap, love such videos
-
Strong advice, when painting a car, almost every light and reflector can be removed in 3 screws or less. Just take them off, and freely paint the frame under them, but do make sure to tape the connectors, don't want to paint them.
-
So is this like a Plouffe of concept?
-
can't believe you missed the opportunity to spray the hubcaps gold
-
thank you LTT for pimping my ride

hey Linus, I worked as a car preparator for a mechanic that did paint jobs too, if I can give a suggestion or two, the first thing you need to remember is "the ludic parts ofthe paint must disappear" sand it down, use scotchbrite abrasive brush, sandblasters, but make it as rught looking as possible, and scale up the sandpaper from 400 grane to 600, 800 adn 1000 as finishing one right before applying the first layer of paint, second suggestion/tip "always clean the chassis that have to be painted with paint thinner and antisiliconic cleaner to remove skin grease from the primer color" because if a bit of grease is on that part, it will amke the paint peel off someday, and last hint I can give is "after one of 2 hands of color pain (that are properly sanded with a 1000 grane sandpaper) put up a layer of transparent coating" even better if it's a heatcured one, this will make the car shine like a diamond and look like brand new, it's like the cherry on top on car paint jobs. Great video anyway!

I've been watching this channel for around 10 years or more, and this is in my top 10 most original videos for the channel, I loved it! It really makes you feel like the old LTT is definitely still there!
