Default Posted Pt. 1 of my 1st "How to" EVER!

Hey guys, over the years I've learned so much from all of you (plus YouTube and Google). I've noticed there are not many "How to" videos on late model Dakota's.

So, hoping to change that (...and possibly start a trend *hint * hint...) I just posted part 1 of my first youtube video ever. Basically covering some basic suspension maintenance.

If you view it and have and "constructive" criticism please let me know. *Disclaimer* - this is my first time ever doing anything like this, so please be gentle and realize I'm just trying to help others out there

(btw, I know I know, I should've recorded horizontal and shot more of me actually taking things apart, problem fixed...made my own camera mount so I'm hands free from now on)

Good job on the video, and a great idea. It will definitely help out some members, (and guests), with repairs. Keep 'em coming.

Thanks! Maybe request the moderators for an ongoing thread like "Steals and Deals" but it would just be only videos / step by step pics of how to do things, or requests for tutorial topics. I'm really starting to get into this, so it'll keep getting better and better.

This is exactly what I think that new fangled Google glass would be awesome for...

Thanks man, I'm sure I'll tweek the design over the next couple months, but it works pretty good so far. Just couldn't justify dropping $50+ for a store bought thing.

If you'd like; when I get home tonight I can do a lil video on how made it and just how cheap it was.

Just watched a video on Google Glass, had never heard of it before...seems pretty legit.
