Just a quick mid week video! The jeep wasn't that dirty in this one, but I was cleaning it ready to get under it and change the chain in the NP231, so I thought I would make a vid. I've been asked so many times about how I wash the Jeep and keep it so clean. I don't think its a secret but I use what's called a brushless cleaner meaning no sponge, bucket or touching it in any way (unless you choose to hand dry). I don't do this because I'm worried about paint scratches, I just do it because its fast and easy and the Jeep comes out looking showroom clean. It costs more to use these technical cleaners but I don't like spending a long time washing my Jeep and I like the best results, so it works for me. When the Jeep is caked in mud I pre wash it with the pressure washer before following the steps in this video and the outcome is the same. Its a waste of product to douse flakey mud in it basically. This is the best cleaner I have used to date as its the only one that cleans everything with no left over residue or dirt, without caring too much about a through pressure washing. Thanks for washing.

I keep my XJ undercarriage sprayed with WD-40, I gave it good scrubbing once a year, drive it to air dry it, the apply a labral coating of WD-40, nothing sticks to it, and you can pressure was dirt, salt, mud right off.

I use dinitrol under mine. 3125, then the 4941. You re-apply every ten years. I used to use wd-40, but it comes off in the snow when I'm in the wilderness.

I'm one for keeping my XJ looking clean... especially the underneath. I just like how things look after a wash and detail... I do a hand wash and then hand dry it down. I have the original white paint finish and every six months I give it a hand polish. Looks great. Your video is well explained.👍🚙🇦🇺

Another great video. I think your humor is wasted on most people, but I/we laugh a lot from your jokes. All those measurement are wasted on us as we use the Imperial or Freedom units here. Your videos are informative and fun to watch. Maybe I am mental? Good to know that we will all have shinny ball bags to attract Bigfoot and have to deal with more of his antics!! In an case keep on making all the videos and we are looking forward to the next!

Really nice man. Quick question, do you use any type of kill switch for anti-theft? I’m trying to figure out if and how to do one. I’ve read I can put one in the fuel line power wire that runs down the cab but not sure if that’s too obvious.

@russjowett2137

5 ай бұрын

If your jeep is a gas 4.0 engine. Get another fuel pump relay. Take it apart inside. So it doesn’t work. But looks good. Then swap out your good relay for that one in the fuse panel under the hood. That’s what I do if I have to leave mine in a remote location unattended. With its steering lock on also. If someone cuts the steering lock off with a grinder. And figures out how to get it running without a relay at hand ….well then I guess it’s gone!

I have a kill switch hidden in the Jeep that stops it starting. Its also got vibration detection, GPS and engine start detection that sounds an alarm on my phone. If someone tried to open a door for example, my phone would sound a loud chime that lets me know someone is messing with the Jeep. Thanks for watching.
