Wheelin and wrenching on a budget! I've got almost 20 years of experience off-road and in the garage. I'm by no means a professional mechanic, but I am a trail guide, who's done most of my own garage work. I do things with a balance of cost and safety. If you're looking for a real life wheeler without a seemingly limitless budget you're in the right place!

WTF are you doing to that thing? 😳 😂 🤣 😒 just get a die drinder and cut the welds!
Yea i tried that first and only had limited success. So i cut it down as close as i could and ground down the rest. got the job done
Thank you bud, by far better than any other video. As you mentioned, others had hacks on how to bandaid the issue, but not fix it. My daughter's jeep had literally inches of water after huge storms in south Florida last week.
glad i could help! thank you for watching!
I live in South Florida and we have super heavy rain in the summer. My JK has this exact problem, and the floors are soggy as hell as I'm watching this. Thanks for the info. Will try this.
Thanks for watching! These specifically fix the leak that happens right at that windshield frame seal, where it meets the door seal. Theyve done a great job for us, but if your leak is elsehwere, and just pools in the same place, your mileage may vary.
Same man same
On the part number it says 01-17 anything on a 2018? That’s what mine is I commented before but it leaks in the same spot
07-17. 18 was a weird model year because both the Wrangler JK and the Wrangler JL were being sold. So if you have an 18 JK you dont always get included in these year-spans. I don't see any reason these wouldnt fit a 2018 JK. They will NOT fit a 2018 (or newer) JL.
I found it much easier to just remove the plastic wire cover in the back before taking the valve cover off and putting it back on after reinstall
Yea, I dont know why I didnt do that. It looked like it'd be a pain to get to, but in the end, I fought it every step of the way, so was it worth not taking the time? Not sure.
I have tried a bunch of the tricks on my 2016 jk. Would you ever do an update on these seals?
So far so good on these! It's been a while now since we installed these, they definitely improved the situation. We do sometimes get water inside, but we can usually blame that on the soft top not being seated properly on the tracks above the doors. I definitely would buy these again if I had a JK leaking at that windshield frame seal. But these are specifically to fix -that- problem, if your leak is elsehwere, they may not help.
Im having this leaking issue on both of the front doors of my 2010 JKU. Can you please let me know what the part numbers are for the front driver's and front passenger's door seals? I didn't see them posted in your video.
They are in the description of the video, as well as amazon links.
I asked the internet if a Go Pro could be used for welding and most replies were yes. Then I saw this video, so I clicked on the play button. When I watch You Tube videos where the description says welding, the bright light on a 42 inch color computer monitor hurts my eyes, so I usually have to skip ahead to watch the rest of the content. Believe it or not my Auto darkening Harbor Freight welding helmet set on 1 will auto darken watching You Tubers welding. If children are watching You Tubers welding, I'm sure it can damage their eyes, but do the content creators think for a second to use a filter? The answer is no. Thanks for posting this 4 years ago.
Thanks for watching! I hope the video helped!
@@SWBCrawler Helped me to know and I shared your video with Trailmater's latest video upload, as I made a comment there. One of their employees used a filter on their camera and it dimmed the bright light, but you could still see the picture. Like looking through a pair of polarized sunglasses. It wasn't as dark as yours. So, I don't know if there is an in between setting or not. Maybe there is. I don't own a Go Pro.
Cool
How can I prevent this from happening in the first place?
You might be able to mitigate it by greasing the hinges periodically. but these liners are a more permanent solution.
ONX, I using a iPad 10.2 and it shows the information and portrait mode, and it also shows compass.
this video is becoming a bit dated. it's from a few years ago. all of the apps involved have changed a bit.
Sprinkle baking soda on the engine.Then spray the vinegar on the engine.

The engineers were nice enough to use the same metals in the transmission pan bolts.
Genius!
It’s probably the period blood on your chin pubes!!!
Gear oil stinks like wombat queefs
I think you huffed to much brake cleaner, cause gear oil is one of the worst smells in the world.
You just haven't smelled it in the right circumstances.
Ford Friction Modifier is where it's at! I love that smell!
Kroil is better lol
Smells more like a cleaner than penetrating oil.
Thank you so much for this video. I came across it by accident. I literally installed this top on my jeep yesterday and I’m looking at it today thinking there’s no way that’s not gonna leak. It hasn’t rained yet. There were two pieces of foam in the kit. there was no mention of this foam in the instructions now after watching your video I know these two pieces of foam are for so thanks again for saving me hours of troubleshooting.
Awesome, glad the video was helpful!
Its a thinner wall though and the overall strength increase is negligible... it is however slightly lighter than the old style
This doesn't even compare to the JD squared model 32 bender and it is $50 cheaper and can bend 2" x 1/4" wall ! Those bends look like ass! You can only do 180° bends on the very end of pipe! Lube the die not the roller.....
Man. No question the JD2 is a better more versatile bender. But it is _not_ a $50 difference. jd2 with hydraulic and no die is over $900. Thanks for the tip on the lubrication though.
I have 1 stiff door on mine, it also came with all new inner and outer black stainless hinges but only enough for 2 of the 4 doors. Needless to say I just left well enough alone lol
This whole time I thought you were holding a mic. Nope, it's your goatee... Lol
Lol. yep it changes from time to time. It's currently dyed red. ;)

Hey thanks for watching, I'm doing my best to try to use tools to translate your comment. i think you're suggesting I remove the bracket and get the liners out in the shop? Yes! thats a possiblity, but I wanted to avoid getting my hinges way out of alignment.
Should have stuck them in a cooler of dry ice.
i was trying to avoid taking the hinges off. if i was doing that'll could have just used my press.
Thank you so much! Been hunting for the tip on how to get the MAP sensor electrical tab off, worked!!
glad i could help!
Recently bought one of these and they apparently implemented your fix. There is a piece of foam that they provide to stick in that space to block water. You have been heard!
yep! after i made this video, they listened. They sent it to their engineers and admitted it was a problem. sent me some of their fixed seals even!
Wish I would have looked for your video yesterday, before I put my new NX top on. The back window was a PITA but I finally got it zipped up after loosening up the sides. There are a few micro tears in the rear window, where the stitching is. Going to keep an eye on them to see if they get worse.
The split i put in my rear window, at the zipper, when i installed mine, is like a 1"x.5" gap now. Doesnt leak. Im guessing I lucked out because its up at the top of the window, where the overhang from the top and side window protect it. Good luck with the new top!
I’m sorry but spending 33k on a 2018 jeep you should get better service and answers not people just trying to lie and steal your money
Dude your not alone the jeep dealer ship here in wilpo pa is trash bought my jeep within a month of having charged me a grand for a combo of leaks and rear defrost and was all withing their “90 day” warranty and for real I’ve researched this and couldn’t find anything but I’m just not about to install a door seal and looked up how to install and seen this and you described the exact situation of how mine leaks and is a 2018 jk! Thanks bro!
i'm glad i could help!! I had the same issues (mentioned in the video), and got a heck of a run around from our dealer. this is why i do things myself! Hope the seals fix your problem!
I changed the passenger intake camshaft on my JL and it starts and runs fine but starts misfiring and violently shaking after 30-60 seconds; the CEL light starts flashing and it starts throwing camshaft A/B codes and whatnot. I made sure the timing was correct with the timing marks lined up with cylinder 1 at TDC and 12 pins on the timing chain in between the phasers marks. Any ideas ?
I would have guessed timing as well, but it sounds like you did the work to make sure that was all in order. I do not know as much about the 3.6l as i might. I'm not sure if I can be much more help here. This short was the first time I really dug into the 3.6l.
@@SWBCrawler ok , I did notice the 36mm oil valve didn’t want to slide out of the intake phaser, do you think that would cause an issue ?
Are you sure you aren't supposed to put the bushing on the ball, and then press that assembly into the body?
Yea, I dont think it matters. You could put the ball into the bushing first, but then the bushing would be that much harder to get into the end. This didnt damage the bushing (which is why I greased it before pressing it), and got the job done. Theyre holding up great so far!
@@SWBCrawlerOn my RC bushing it encircles the ball so the hole for the ball is 10 percent smaller than than the mount. I haven't tried but I don't think I'd be able to squeeze the ball into that bushing or I'd damage it if I hit it in. Essentially installation is reverse of disassembly. At 4:32 you would take that assembly and press it into the mount.
@@xcpointx Yea. like i said. i think it'd work either way. in my case it pushed in with very little resistance. no damage to the bushing. I don't know that i'd be able to hammer it in, if that's what you're trying.
Im ordering these ASAP both my passenger front and rear doors have leak issues. Tha ks for the well edited and informing vid!
You're welcome! Just be sure that the leaks youre having are actually because of the seals before ordering the replacements. Thats a decent chunk of money for a fix that doesn't fix your actual issue. Also, these are front door seals only.
Don't forget to use the old fashioned elbow grease
Heck yea. This was meant to show you just what the degreaser alone does. If you want it really clean, you need to do more than spray and rinse.
Hi hehe!
Can you send me them part numbers again for the left and right door seals? Because you said they're not available on Amazon. And that link takes you to Amazon. I want to make sure I'm getting the right new seals.
they are available on amazon. the links in the description of the video should take you right to them. there are also part numbers in the video description. thanks for watching!
@@SWBCrawler Is there a certain brand that I need to look for
@@waynemartin1965 the links in the description should take you right to what you need to buy. don't they?
@@SWBCrawler Trying to make sure because I'm gonna have the dealer order them.And I want to make sure they are the right ones
OMG THANK YOU
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! best of luck with your leaks!
I wonder if this winch is still working for you or if you still have it? I just e transferred a buddy some cash an hour ago to go in the morning to Princess auto and get me one but the one I get is unfortunately the Cable version but I have had lots of those in past years and they work fine too. Anyways being a cheaper china warn version made me think a bit harder but at the end it came down to the price, like you. Any issues with it?
I had the same concerns. I Looked into it a bit before buying it, and found a statement from warn that the same warn engineering went into the vr series, just made by cheaper labor in china. Which makes me sad, but i like the price! Ive used the winch several times. One to recover myself from a pretty nasty situation where my tires were off the ground in a mud hole, i was resting on my diffs, and i was able to pull myself out. The other was a hummer H2 that was hung up on his skid plate, front tires off the ground, skid on a rock. I pulled him backwards with a snatch block. Ive done a number of smaller scale things with it too, and its holding up great. my ONLY complaint is the wireless winch controler. The battery died without even much use, it just died sitting in my recovery bag. Then, to replace it, the whole controler has to get taken apart, and the battery is not a standard grocery store battery. I THINK they have changed this design though, so look into that. Maybe its no longer a problem. I would recommend this winch, i like it, and its saved my bacon. Winch does winch things. :D
@@SWBCrawler Thanks soo much for the reply, Yea, I had a hard time finding very many reviews on this and it is because of the remote, it is like all the places have the same generic ad for it and no reviews. I found one review that said it now comes with only a wireed remote and so I got a photo from my friend last night and sure enough, the box is marked right on it that the remote is now a plug in only 12.5 ft cable remote. I am fine with that anyways because that is the only remote I have ever owned on a winch except for the rugcel that I just had to send back before using since it was wound back wards and they have no support so I was worried using the in button to go out and out buttom to go in might eliminate or adversely change the operation of the brake so I sent it back. As for the warn, now that you chimed in I bet Im going to love it for my 95 Sahara. With the 4 inch lift nad 33x12.5's I think it will be the perfect add on and other then throwing a jacket over the cable when winching and only being able to use the remote wired I think it will be great anyways.I prob would have bought the Badlands if I lived in the US but by the time I shipped it and got it to BC Canada it was way too much, Anyways, just doing the CAD on my YJ so hopefully my friend will bring it next week and I can go find some mud and hills to play on. I love my 2006 Tacoma but there is nothing short of a dirt bike in the bush as ripping around in a door off roof off jeep with the stereo blasting and the sun beating in on ya. Can't wait ;)
@@alkholic1950 sounds like a blast man! Now that i think about it. this winch had a wireless remote recall a year or two ago my remote wasn't affected. their fix was to just send everyone a wired remote!
@@SWBCrawler My daughter and I have matching 2006 tacomas but mine is the trd offroad and hers is the base but they look the same and last week I replaced my brakes and rotors and calipers etc and this week she heard scraping and her truck is behind my shop now lol.. Anyways, when I get that done this week I will be back to working on my yj and my buddy brings the winch on thursday at the latest so Ill get that on and go diggin... can't wait to try it out and hoping the trails are still full of mud and crap not dried out for the summer.
Time for some 37's. :)
tires and wheels are next on the list. we're thinking 35s though
Thanks for the video! I’m wondering if this is the same issue with my 2010 JK.
i don't know if the jk has the same valve. it may, but it's a lot of work to get in there to find out that it doesn't
Thanks for this video. I’m working on a JK with this transmission and can’t figure out if the return is the top or bottom. I now know it’s the top.
thanks for watching!
Hey glad to see ya back. Just remember my saying, progress is progress. Even if you only have a half hour, go out there and put in some work. Its contagious! I fight the same problem sometimes(LIKE LATELY)
yea man. definitely got out of the habit. trying to fix that!
Nice video, thanks for sharing!
absolutely! thanks for watching! Heck, thanks for noticing!
"One of the best jeeps ever was designed by morons" - This is what I was thinking when I replaced my heater core and AC core on my 2000 TJ. I have to do this procedure as I have a leak between my oil pan and transmission. Idiots didn't even think of putting a drain hole in the damn transmission for fluid swaps.
yea i'll never understand why the trans doesn't have a drain plug. seems common on auto transmissions though.
Whats the yellow plug called in 35:38 inhave fluid leaking from there
I believe that's the connection to the solenoid pack on the transmission.
I was about to order it but the affordable bender is $500 now... not too affordable..
Guess that depends on how expensive the others are. True though. it was cheaper when i made this video.
GREAT VIDEO and NICE JEEP!!! I did JUST get my soft top about a week ago, and I paid for the home installation!!! It DID come with two pieces of foam, because as I was helping clean up, (discarding the box and bags the top came in), I ALMOST threw away the foam pieces until the installer told me he needed them!!! After the completion, we've had rain a few times, and NO leaks detected!!! The slanted top kinda makes it look like the old VOLKSWAGEN models, but my Wife AND everyone else just LOVES IT!!! From the reviews, I may NEVER put my hard top back on...because they say it holds up really good in the winter!!!
we've had ours for several PA winters now and it's still in great shape! Thanks for watching!
03 to 11
Hi Nate, thank you for your video, I live in Western Australia, and the part numbers you have listed on amazon show that they are currently out of stock. Are you aware of any other suppliers that have these seals in stock? Thank you in advance mate.
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately I do not know of suppliers in australia. however the part numbers listed should be Jeep part numbers, and I would expect you'd be able to find them through a local dealer at the worst, or an online factory parts place at best.
What year was the redesign used from factory?
I do not know if it was ever used from factory. I can say our 2014 did not have the new design. and i've heard from folks all the way up to the 2018 model that don't have them.
