    Love this video! Best wingin it ever btw. I thank you for putting this video out. Some people just can’t afford to go break their Jeep crawling in the rocks and whatnot. But can afford to build it once into something cool that they can enjoy and take care of and kind of baby it around. And I don’t think there is anything wrong with that at all. If they are out having fun with it at the beach or the mall or a show and that’s what they enjoy rather than crawling and off-roading then they’ve achieved the same thing that the people do that go out and offroad and do the trail fixes with the onboard welders and all that kind of stuff that is what they like and have fun doing. Jeepin is jeepin if ya ask me. Dont matter if you’re in the woods or the rocks or the mall parking lot or the beach or driving down the highway.

    My stock 2004 jeep grand Cherokee limited edition stock 30 & 35 have been across the Rubicon 4 times no problems. Even running a aluminum ring and pinion. The rear end makes a little bit of noise after 250,000 miles but it's still holding strong. The guy has a really badass jeep hand's down. I'm not knocking on him. But a Jeep is meant to be used. This new generation is killing it with the rubber ducks in the windshields and what ever else you see these new age jeep owners doing. I found a rubber duck on my jeep the other day and put it in the trash. Grow a pair and drive your jeep where no one else will. Awesome video Kevin and Brittany. Can we please get back to wheeling again 🙏 I remember when y'all were living in your jeep and going everywhere. Colorado is by far the best videos y'all have ever made. My bucket list is to see the trails there. God bless lite Brite Nation and peanut and jelly

    We have a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sport with 33" tires and a 2 1/2 inch lift. It is not a super rock crawler and it is not a mall crawler. It is used as a Jeep is meant to be used and that is off road in the Arizona desert and the Arizona mountains to explore and have fun. But we do like our duckies. I only keep two. One is an Army duck, I am retired Army. And one is a Navy duck that was give to us by our sailor daughter. We give out duckies but only to Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators that have rocks in their tires and desert paint striping not to mall crawlers. Like driving off road it is fun to give ducks to fellow off roaders.

We are 6 “badge of honor” trails in (plus countless others) with no problems. Every Jeep is awesome in its own way, just like the owner. God Bless.

    I've got a Sport with the Dana 30. Slowly getting it where I want it. 3" lift, 35" Ridge Grapplers, Rubicon rock rails, Willys wheels, 4.88 gears, handful of other mods. I do take it off road. The Dana 30s are stronger than people give them credit for. If you drive smart and dont beat the hell out of it, it'll last. I jokingly call mine a "Sporticon." Have plans for new rims, steel bumpers, winch, and possibly 37s. Always a work in progress.

    It is easy and cheap to fix stock, more challenging, to offroad and duel purpose. All Jeeps are cool. Never seen a bad one.

    The best way to describe it is “Any race car makes a good show car, but not all show cars are race cars” I prefer the stepchild since it is super functional off-road.

    Every time i see that other Jeep on IG, it's got some model hanging out with it. Dude, spends as much money on models as he does his Jeep!
