    They will only like your response if you stroke their ego. They don't do well with constructive criticism. This was a good video until they both said they prefer the lady 4 door jku limos. So many wussbags need these fake jeeps for all their "gear" aka shopping bags. The pussification in this country gets worse and worse. Wheelin is with a 2 door Wrangler with just the essentials. These are people who think camping is sleeping in their RV in their driveway. smfh

    @@JeepTJWheelin Damn bro you need to ease off the roids. The JKU is a better fit for many people who have families like myself. I have a Ram 2500 Cummins mega cab lifted on 37s I daily Drive, use when camping, hunting & wheeling. Sure the 2 doors have much better breakover angle but sometimes you have more than 2 people. Jeep says it's been selling more 4 doors ever since they came out with them & if it's working they're going to stick with it no matter what your whining ass says.

Thats fine to buy a four door if you have any family or friends, as I have niether, I suppose the two door would be good for me. Might even remove the passenger seat to make for increased storage solutions.

It sounds like Tommy is really knowledgeable about Jeeps! Both of you two are sticking to relevant facts and that keeps it interesting. Please think about reversing the too loud music sections with the too quiet commentary. I have to keep turning my speakers up and down to hear what you guys are saying and not get blown away by the music. Hitting the Rubicon in my '06 LJ Jeep Truck is on my bucket list.

    Not a fan of the 3rd brake light relocation kit. It becomes a PITA to remove your spare and to do that you need to carry a set (or at least two) torx head wrenches to take it off. Which you need to take off because that thing sits over the lugs holding the wheel down. My stock light still works good in it's extended position with my 37 back there.

My dealer tells me that I do not need to purchase the reinforcement bracket for my Rubicon. I cannot find an official answer and I do not wish to damage my new Jeep. Since you spoke to a lot Jeep representatives, would you have an answer for me. Thank you! I watched all of your videos. Keep up the good work! Thank you!
