You deserve the hoist, man. It's hard for men to accept that we deserve nice things when we can get by with what we have. I'm 50 this year and just bought a vehicle that wasn't a hooptie for the first time. My wife had to convince me, and even after 2 weeks, I still feel guilty for having something so nice.

Man, you said a mouthful! I went through several hoopties before I finally got a new truck, and it took forever before I could feel comfortable driving it!

Haha! When Ur Lady Jen Changed the Belts, reminded me of the Bumper Sticker of the Ole Days! nobody rides for free! Haha

Welcome to Manasquan Inlet! That clam boat was lowering its stabilizers to keep it… well “stabile” in the sea as she broke the inlet.

Stabilizers you can turn over in the inlet with seas as they make your balance off. They drop the heavy birds in the water and it smooths the ride out. They work good

My father had the same type of steel file cabinet for his workshop. Probably acquired from work. They really are built like tanks! After he unfortunately transitioned to nursing care, I had to clear out his workshop of 50 years. I pulled the extremely heavy file cabinet and many other items to the driveway and placed a "Free" sign by the road. It was gone in no time. Days later, while working in the yard, a nice woman pulled over to tell me that her husband had picked up the file file cabinet for use in his own garage. She wanted to express their gratitude, knowing how hard it must have been for me to display my father's life out in the driveway. I couldn't have been happier knowing this young man has my father's cabinet and put it to use!

You and Jen should take the Jeep down to Daytona Jeep Beach Week!

An honest, hardworking mechanic that knows more than a little about most anything mechanical. Really dig your channel and the content you put out. Can't think of a guy that deserves a good lift more. Love these videos. And Gus!! We gotta get more content with that hound!! Thanks Chris.

Take notes ladies,Jen is a keeper,Love the CJs such a simple concept.

He should consider letting her create some songs to use in the background of videos! She sings great and even has her own style.

Been looking for one of these for a long time, just the right balance of beater and life left, enjoy man

All ways amazing to see both of you having fun enjoy your time together ❤️. Have a great time. And enjoy each other.

Chris is the best mechanic on KZread.

I've had my 83 cj7 for 14years you need the HEI ignition up grade that's what I did woke great..also webber down draft..my original carb was brand new when I bought it junk compared to the webber...no hesitation, great Idle,,, Not too costly..

There isn't a single soul that deserves a nice lift more than you! Its been really awesome to watch you evolve over the years. Thanks for all that you do.

Dear mpp 👍👌👏 Exactly! Best regards, luck and health in particular.

Nice lift! That will pay for itself in no time.

I have an 85 CJ7 that has a lot of the same issues. I laughed out loud at the broken power steering pump bracket. You’ll probably find both halves are broken when you get it apart 😂 Your videos are great, I enjoy every bit of them

Every vlog goes better with Jen and Gus. Love the Jeep.

Man congratulations on the car lift. It makes repairs so much easier.

Really enjoyed seeing the Jeep out again, thanks for sharing 😊.

Great content y’all. You, Jen and Gus are a joy to behold. Your garage is pretty awesome. Keep doing what you’re doing. Hopefully, if it’s your intent, I hope you can succeed at plying your own trade in your own garage. Blessings y’all.

I love it! This Jeep is getting the restoration that it “So Richly Deserves” Well Done!

Thx for the update on the Jeep. I realize you know what your viewers like, but I like the details you gave us on the carb and missed seeing you add the other new parts! A lot of simple things really upgrade a vehicle and prevent breakdowns. Thx for bringing us along. 😊😊😊 John Ken

You're a very smart and talented mechanic!

Man I miss my 78 CJ7 got it in Florida wasnt running for crap turned out to be a loose distributer. I got too feeling guilty cuz the guy I bought from said hed taken it to several mechanics dumped 1200 into it and it still ran bad. So I went back to him and told him id give it back to him for 1200 (what I paid) he said nah. I loved that thing!

My first everyday car when I got my license was a soft-top Jeep cj7. This was probably about a year after the CW McCall song CJ5 came out. 3-speed manual - 304 V8 - I had to get out to lock the hubs for four-wheel drive. 16-year-olds should not have cj7's ! The main thing I remember is that my parents would not let me get aggressive wheels and tires. I guess they figured it was easier to keep me off of the heavy trails that way. Thanks for your updates. entertaining, as always!

Old Jeeps really helps the economy. Especially for the auto parts industry. An aluminum block LS 5.3 would be a good swap for a movie.

"Hey man I need a lift to town. Nice Jeep, drop me off right here, Thanks Know Nonsense Man!!! " Alright, you got a lift!! Awesome!! that will save you from permanent back injuries. I saw the lift and tackle wrapped around the beam there. I would weld in a track from one wall to the next. You can then install an electric hoist to pull engines and transmissions. That would the safer, and better way to pull engines.

Great video. Can’t wait till your trip out west. That little Gus man is absolutely adorable.

Another GREAT video!! The garage is really shaping up... can't wait to see what else you do to the Jeep. Love watching Gus romp around!! (LOL)

Great work. Sad I don't get to see the Jeep worked on. Especially after buying all those parts for it. And a new lift!!! Nice to see the garage getting out back together. Love your channels. Keep up the great work everyone. You guys all rock including Max.

Hey Chris, congratulations on the lift -- you deserve it! After so many years making due, you deserve! Enjoy it and keep safe! Also, cool that you're fixing up the Jeep -- perhaps, bit-by-bit, you'll restore fully. It's a keeper!

No more crawling on the ground in the wet, cold, nasty weather. Congrats.

I love that you’ve grown to love the wrangler, I lost my wrangler not too long ago and I’m now living vicariously through you! 😂😂

I thought Jos found the magic lamp 26:57 👀🐶 Hey Chris, congratulations, the garage has turned out great in principle 🛠👌

You are a perfectionist when it comes to organization and order, congratulations! Greetings from Austria/Europe

Milwaukee is an American brand but they use them in Germany, building cars. That is the best compliment you can make them. Good stuff.

Handsome ❤Gus❤ we love you. Aww great shot of Gus on his Mamas lap. So awesome you include him when you can. Hope your kitty is doing well to ❤🐈❤️. Gus is a little trooper riding on the Kawasaki

A lift is a life saver.. especially when getting older lol Jeep=just empty every pocket!! Cant beat them tho!!! Cant have enough stock for projects!! Cabinets from an old kitchen work great too!

In Australia, we would call those shocks kangaroo Theodore. Roo-Ted.

Awesome choice with Rotary Lift Chris. I am a welder where all Rotary Lifts are USA Proudly Made in Madison, Indiana!!! I wish I could sneak you some extensions for that 2 post lift!!

Love your content. Chris, you and Jen are so genuine. Keep up the great work.😎

👍👌👏 Congratulations 🎉 for purchasing this amazing car lift. It really looks brand new. You deserved such a device for a long time. The new workshop is coming together well. I was glad to see that you put on fire protection everywhere. 2) The ol' Jeep gets a lot of TLC. I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the next part. I guess I know why you like the car so much. Nothing respectively not much to worry about. It's because of the same reasons why you love some of your cheap boats so much (I especially liked the versatile Glasstream Bass Dumpster). Some scratches more will be no problem. 3) Of course do we all love cute little Gus 💚 very much! He is simply adorable. 4) I'm eagerly looking forward to your trip to Phoenix. Hope that you will be able to purchase a great car. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all 4 of you.

Tow bar sure comes in handy

That lift is going to be life changing. Thank you for buying USA made products. 🇺🇸 PS, Bonus Gus footage is always good.😊

Oh yes ! What a great addition to the workshop, I know you've talked about getting a lift - But it's great seeing it in place! As a few people have said here and before - Chris you deserve it, as you've worked really hard to get yourself , your Ch, etc where it is and where it's going to be in the future.. on the up! keep up the amazing work mate !! and looking forward to the Phoenix trip.. Come on guys hook the guy up with a vehicle too !! And YES a GUS Ch !! what an idea.. woof woof

i also enjoy watching gus at the end

Sunday morning coffee ☕️ and NNKH 👌

I just love your content and application of your skills at trouble shooting looking forward to your trip out west to see what the next vehicle you pick up and drive back

That lift will be good for years, very reliable well made 👍

I'm sure most everyone comes here to follow a man who has great skills and mechanical instincts. Sort of a nice way to see what a true American life should be. Does not hurt to be old enough to have gathered skills, and young enough to still use them wisely. Although Gus is great , he isn't why people come to your channel . NNKH. Is high on my list.

dam thought the video was half over when I saw all the jeep parts.

Congratulations on your shop, and lift. You work hard, have great content, good for you! Keep it growin'

W O W . . . !!! Good show with all the parts and Lift also. ✅

You have a really nice shop now and awesome lift.

The old CJ model is just a blast to drive, especially once you soften up the suspension. Many of them had the heavier rear packs for farm equipment. It is good to see you giving it some much needed maintenance.

Thanks Chris for announcing that you will be at Duct Tape Drags. Your many many fans like to shake your hand and say hello to you, Gus and Jen.

I like your new shop.

Safe travels to Phx....👍👍👍

I thought the end with Jen was funny.."Looks a little swirly..." Swear my wife (who is from Philly) also thinks every storm is a tornado too. 🤣 Im down in Maryland and we rarely get tornados near DC.

Great video. Lift looks great in the garage.

Hey, Hey , Mr Chris. Enjoyed the update on the old jeep. looks like your going ahead and put some money in it and i don't blame you one bit. Looks really fun to cruz around in. Also the shop is looking really good. Love the new lift. Jen did good on those belts. last but not least Little Guz man, he is the best little dog. Always enjoy seeing what he is into. I hope he found what he was digging for there in the sand. Look forward to your next video.

Like the black lift with the black trim in the garage. Lookin' good.

Lol, good luck on your trip. The Econoline sounds interesting.

I'm now looking for an old junker... I'm jealous I dont have something to play with! 😂 Good job with the garage. That will be a sweet set up!

What a Totally Cool video! Jen is so easy going!

I love your new lift! American made! Finally some one painted those barewood trusses! Looks so much better!

Awesome. I subscribed to see this Jeep being built. I have a 77 CJ7 that was a barn find, I slowly rebuilt all the systems and now I daily drive it. I love it!

I’m so glad your doing all the work on the jeep.

Love your channel man, congrats on the garage and lift; if only car stuff was as cheap here as it is in the US... Greetings from the Old Continent

Sad we don’t get to see all the new parts dropping into the Jeep! Love the content man! Congratulations on the new shop and keep up the awesome work!!

Your new shop is looking good👍👍

Congratulations on the lift the garage is beautiful. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I saw Jen and yourself at the Duck Strip Drags and Jen did well on the stick shift. The Econline is a runner, so so. But the van did the drags. The van was not one you wanted to drive across country. The Mustang Fox body you got for the drags fell on it's face because it wouldn't pass inspection.

1 qt. 10w50 and 1qt Lucas oil conditioner... top off oil levels with 10w40.... that knock will get more padded and may prolong total bearing seizure or spin. Works on LS Lifter knock issue real well.

That Lyft is a game changer for you Chris!!✌️🇺🇲

Stoke for the garage! You’ve got some room to organize again haha, much love cheers!

those old CRT TVs like that JVC in that parts store are perfect for retro gaming!

Thank you Chris for posting this excellent video...look forward to the road trip adventure...Jen...Gus...and drone shots et-al 👍👍👍

I love that new shop, can't wait to see you organize your 20,000 things!

Right up my Alley Chris! The Work you are doing on this Jeep is so interesting!

Thanks for keeping us updated on all the projects! You definitely deserve a lift! Keeping us entertained and educated is a tough job and you do it well. If you feel like it isn’t worth it sometimes, know that there are plenty of us out here supporting you either monetarily or with views. Keep it up brother!

Chris playing working again good glad you got it started all little man toys later winch jack lights storage it’s rust bucket needs it’s oiled up

Good job on the garage

Lots of people want the belt readable from the front. It’s just how we are. This channel just keeps on getting better with each video! Enjoy your new garage!

Are you for real?

Your comment about going to the parts store for belts reminded me of the time my dad spent time at a gas station in McDermitt OR looking through all the belts in a service station to finally find one that fit the Dodge pickup we were in. Even today the many miles before that are still some of the sparsest populated space you will find. At the time it was possible to drive pretty much all the way from Idaho to Nevada and not see a single other vehicle. He did find a belt that worked, not the "correct" size. But close enough.

Hello and many greetings from Germany. I really enjoy watching your videos, you have such a relaxed voice. and I like it when Jen and Gus are there. Keep going and stay as you are.

Oh man, that garage is awesome! I'm jealous. I am just a novice mechanic, but I still wish I had a nice area and all the tools to make it easier and more fun to do. Maybe someday.

Thanks for the heads up about the duck tape drags. Sounds like great fun. Enjoy!! Besides it not being in Phoenix but it Tucson I'll be in San Diego deep sea fishing that weekend.

Come on Jen cheer up,you have the wind in your and carefree☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I'm glad to see you putting some love into the cj. Iv had 4 over the years,,it's important to keep the right Exhaust pressure on the 4.2 I let that go and had trouble with the spark plugs Not oil fowl But a white crusty Ash build.. New muffler no leaks that went away..

Watched a few of your videos lately and am very impressed with the depth of your knowledge across so many different systems

Hell yeah a lift! Also, I lol'd when you said you were gonna throw some stuff away

That strut on the driver's side roll bar is missing. Olt clunkers like that are a lot of fun. Maybe you can take the Jeep to AZ and do a bit of desert exploring?
