Did you buy wider than stock axles? Or you running spacers? Or low backspaced wheels? I have a 4 door JK and wondering if it's worth the extra cost to buy a Fusion 44 at 68 inches. I currently have 4.5 backspaced wheels and going to go for 37 inch KO2s (on 35 KO2s right now)

We had a "ticking time bomb" for years under our JK, then it went off. $22K CND estimate for engine replacement. That rattle on start up is valve train operating without oil pressure momentarily while the oil filter fills back up with oil after draining down to the pan. After 6 000+ dry starts, the damage from insufficient lubrication adds up. Baxter adapter prevents that.... well worth it. Now engine is quiet on start ups 👍👍

@BruceF.6 күн бұрын
I had looked at this device before but kept coming back to two concerns. First, if you're having to use air pressure to open the anti-drain valve during oil changes, and since oil pumps don't pump air, then oil pressure is what opens the valve whenever you start the engine. So you are still having to wait for oil to get pumped up to the Baxter device to force the anti-drain valve open so the oil can flow to the valve-train. Not sure that is saving that much time, at least not $300.00 dollars worth in my opinion. The second thing is almost every car I have owned prior to my Jeep has had the oil filter located toward the bottom of the engine, usually about oil pan height. Additionally my last car (Toyota) used a similar cartridge type filter as my Jeep, but it was located near the bottom of the engine, so no anti-drain valve either. There was nothing to prevent the oil from draining down to the oil pan on any of those vehicles and I had never heard of dry start concerns with any of them. I think a lot of this concern as it relates to Jeeps was the result of a well known issue with the roller rocker arms on pre-2019 Pentastar engines. The needle bearings were prone to failure after 100k miles and literally were a ticking time bomb. Will this Baxter device help that issue? Not sure (see first concern). Since I don't have a pre-2019 Jeep, I think I'll roll the dice.
@JustEmptyEveryPocket8 сағат бұрын
Fair enough.
@americanwildchilds39927 күн бұрын
If the filter is allowing oil to drain back when shut off.... Then why is it that when I take the filter cap loose, the filter is full of oil... Also, the factory oil adapter already has those features built into them. Yes, they are prone to leaks. And yours is the early version, which is more prone to leaks. On the later models, it's actually the o-rings that are more prone to leaks. And one more thing... If these are starting dry every time, why is it so common to see promaster vans with 300k miles.
@JustEmptyEveryPocket7 күн бұрын
If yours is full of oil that's good. That's what you want. Every JL that I have ever wheeled with has the "Three Point Six Tick"; so I'm not sure what is causing the roller rockers to wear out if the top-end doesn't drain...
@grantmoon6246 күн бұрын
@@JustEmptyEveryPocket The rockers have needle bearings and those needle bearings fail. How, why, when and can this happen? Let’s evaluate; All rocker arms with needle bearings can do this no matter what. While this happens prematurely in 3.6s it also happens in a lot of cars eventually, and a lot of cars allow oil to flow back down in the same manner as the 3.6, but keep in mind a needle bearing solution is a delicate one. Also note that the 3.6 runs hotter than other motors by design. It actually needs to run hotter so that it runs optimally. I believe the leading issue with the 3.6 causing rocker failure so frequently is by not incorporating rockers with needle bearings that can be properly lubricated with oil at higher temperatures, thus higher viscosity. The Baxter unit will allow more oil present at start up, but it does nothing special after start up. Can this brief aid in lubrication prolong prevent rocker life? Maybe, but it wouldn’t hurt in principle. Will it help in other ways, sure, but it’s marginal, and that is a different discussion. The best cheapest bang for the buck is to switch to 5-30 synthetic.

We had a "ticking time bomb" for years under our JK, then it went off. $22K CND estimate for engine replacement. That rattle on start up is valve train operating without oil pressure momentarily while the oil filter fills back up with oil after draining down to the pan. After 6 000+ dry starts, the damage from insufficient lubrication adds up. Baxter adapter prevents that.... well worth it. Now engine is quiet on start ups 👍👍
Same; the only time it’s noisier than I like is when it sits for multiple days.
I had looked at this device before but kept coming back to two concerns. First, if you're having to use air pressure to open the anti-drain valve during oil changes, and since oil pumps don't pump air, then oil pressure is what opens the valve whenever you start the engine. So you are still having to wait for oil to get pumped up to the Baxter device to force the anti-drain valve open so the oil can flow to the valve-train. Not sure that is saving that much time, at least not $300.00 dollars worth in my opinion. The second thing is almost every car I have owned prior to my Jeep has had the oil filter located toward the bottom of the engine, usually about oil pan height. Additionally my last car (Toyota) used a similar cartridge type filter as my Jeep, but it was located near the bottom of the engine, so no anti-drain valve either. There was nothing to prevent the oil from draining down to the oil pan on any of those vehicles and I had never heard of dry start concerns with any of them. I think a lot of this concern as it relates to Jeeps was the result of a well known issue with the roller rocker arms on pre-2019 Pentastar engines. The needle bearings were prone to failure after 100k miles and literally were a ticking time bomb. Will this Baxter device help that issue? Not sure (see first concern). Since I don't have a pre-2019 Jeep, I think I'll roll the dice.
Fair enough.
If the filter is allowing oil to drain back when shut off.... Then why is it that when I take the filter cap loose, the filter is full of oil... Also, the factory oil adapter already has those features built into them. Yes, they are prone to leaks. And yours is the early version, which is more prone to leaks. On the later models, it's actually the o-rings that are more prone to leaks. And one more thing... If these are starting dry every time, why is it so common to see promaster vans with 300k miles.
If yours is full of oil that's good. That's what you want. Every JL that I have ever wheeled with has the "Three Point Six Tick"; so I'm not sure what is causing the roller rockers to wear out if the top-end doesn't drain...
@@JustEmptyEveryPocket The rockers have needle bearings and those needle bearings fail. How, why, when and can this happen? Let’s evaluate; All rocker arms with needle bearings can do this no matter what. While this happens prematurely in 3.6s it also happens in a lot of cars eventually, and a lot of cars allow oil to flow back down in the same manner as the 3.6, but keep in mind a needle bearing solution is a delicate one. Also note that the 3.6 runs hotter than other motors by design. It actually needs to run hotter so that it runs optimally. I believe the leading issue with the 3.6 causing rocker failure so frequently is by not incorporating rockers with needle bearings that can be properly lubricated with oil at higher temperatures, thus higher viscosity. The Baxter unit will allow more oil present at start up, but it does nothing special after start up. Can this brief aid in lubrication prolong prevent rocker life? Maybe, but it wouldn’t hurt in principle. Will it help in other ways, sure, but it’s marginal, and that is a different discussion. The best cheapest bang for the buck is to switch to 5-30 synthetic.
For me. Maybe a 1sec difference between Baxter and normal filter. Not worth it in my opinion
That’s what mine does after 5 days; I still use the clear flood. But if it’s only been sitting for a day or two it’s a quiet start. Might be time to go LS?
@@JustEmptyEveryPocket An LS would be a nice addition to those Dynatrac axles. ;)
Jeep is already placed my valves rocker arms and lifters. But I also have a lifetime drivetrain warranty on it and I'm at 255,000 me on a 08
@@boomer6942 how much mileage?
Great timing! Our next set of tires will be 37's. I just haven't upgraded the steering box yet ... At 130k miles, it has some issues that i need to address before we put the bigger tires on. Your videos are some of the best ones out there. We're always excited when a new one is out. Keep them coming! Safe trails and see you out there.
The steering box will make a huge difference; and the HD steering links. If it's in your budget do it! I drove from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada to MOAB...which is 4500km...and it was one finger on the wheel most of the time. Honestly, it's never driven better. Thanks for the feedback; heading to Southern BC for some action on the Whipsaw trail and Farnham Glacier in a couple weeks. Tomorrow I'm going to talk about two ways to keep your 3.6 from blowing up! HAHAHA.
Though I agree with most you've said there just our opinions , we build our rigs to our tastes and for our needs and money ALWAYS comes into play !! Most of us can't afford crazy expensive diffs or other high end high dollar components but still wanna live the life and sit behind the wheel instead of on the couch .. it's a well known fact that if you have some abilities offroad and stick to obstacles that your rig can do you can have a shit ton of fun even on stock drive train. Personally have ran 37s on stock axels for years without any major issues and most times I created the issues by going harder than the rig should go ! All I'm saying is to reach there own , if your happy on 37s and stock axles and can meet out on the trails more power to ya . When ya wanna go big then your pocket gotta be big most of the time and in today's world we all can't do it. Keep up the great content 👏
Agree; you have to modify at your pace/comfort levels/budget. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching. Maybe see ya out on the trails someday!
Looks great I've got some on a Ford 44/9 set that I haven't tried yet.
Loving the LS in your project!!
@@JustEmptyEveryPocket thank you sir 😁 it's moving along slowly but surely.
Not to sound like a nut!!! Why do you need 37" tries on a 2 door Jeep? 35's are perfect.
35s are perfect on a 2-door…until you put 37s on :)
I saw your Jeep this morning, it looks fantastic atop those 37’s, well done build! Your content is great and a pleasure to watch.
@@greystone4333 thanks! It’s coming together nicely; happy with the 37s. Looking forward to the next trip. BC; whipsaw for sure and a few other stops. Thanks for watching! Maybe see ya out on the trails some day.
Time for 40's
@@michaelturner185 I would love to but my garage would need a lift-kit then 😂😜🤪
When I bought my jeep it came with a lift time million miles drive tran warranty in 2008 And I purchased the life care max warranty. I am a trail guy with 255,000 miles on the jeep. This is the only reason I have not up graded my axcels or steering parts like you have. Been on jeep $$ since 08. I removed my smart bar it was the third one that jeep replaced and the last. So I now have manual. They wouldn't replace the forth set with out voiding my max care warranty. So I went for manual. And kept my warranty.
Yeah that's a pretty good deal; can't say I blame you. I haven't been able to build a consistent wheeling crew so I end up doing a ton of soloing. I want as much piece of mind as I can possibly get.
Nice hat
Walmart FTW! 😜
I have one for my vr 10s. Has anyone cleaned theirs? Mine is stained with mud and doesnt look as nice anymore.
You might want to try a 50/50 mix of alcohol and vinnegar. I use it on my windows and fender flares; works pretty well; might work on the cover too?
Another epic video buddy! But one thing I’ve learned while jeeping is, ALWAYS bring the fishing gear 😂 Also love the sticker btw 😉
Thanks for the comments; I love that sticker too :)
Another killer video!! Great job
Still looked like a fun trip, nothing broke and everyone had fun. That was great, thanks for sharing.
It was super fun; going back next year! Thanks for watching.
Another quality video. This spot is on top of my 2025 list. As for BC, I only adventure there. I love living in Alberta but offroading in BC is next level.
Yeah; I'm hoping to get there next month; but with all the fires I'm not sure if it's going to happen :(
I feel your frustration about the Jeep fender clips; I hate them, I just had to take off my fender to install a twin ARB under the hood of my '24 Gladiator, only 4/11 survived... I'm now just going to put parts in my storage locker to minimize the number of times I need to take it off to get them chopped, put in new liners and get them wrapped. Side note, do you think Whipsaw can be done in a stock Rubicon Gladiator? I really want to join your group, but I'm not sure the truck will handle it.
The day after I got back I took a Sawzall to my fenders. Turned out great; I didn't go too crazy so hopefully I took off enough. If they're not painted you might want to just spray them with Raptor liner. That stuff is awesome. If I do have my rubbing under control, that's what I'll be doing to mine. Whipsaw has bypasses; so yes you can do the entire trail on a stock Gladiator. Don't make plans just yet. I might have to move the event due to BC wildfires. I'm pretty sure Rady is out since there's a fire right where the trailhead starts. I might move to the week of the 19th...but will give it another week before making that call.
@@JustEmptyEveryPocket Nice, did you use a kit? I'm thinking of going with the Quake LED fender chop kit, the bracket allegedly makes the fender quite a bit more rigid. Sadly, my fenders are painted, but I'm not opposed to spraying them with bed liner if they get too beat up. Sounds good, I think I'll join; no worries about moving it, getting time off isn't a big thing for me, I only need to give about 3-4 days notice.
@@kazwalker764 no kit. Sawzall and a steady hand with some dremeling and filling after.
@@JustEmptyEveryPocket Cool, I'm interested to see how it turned out. Any updates on the Whipsaw dates? Trails4Tomorrow's Margaret Lake Trail Clean up/Maintenance Day will be on the 24th, so I'm hoping I can make it back to Ghost for that.
@@kazwalker764 Very certain I am moving it to 19-23. Rady is still a mess and a fire has popped up just south of the whipsaw trailhead; it hasn't grown but is out of control still. I will post the update this aft.
If you remove the electric sway bar should you remove the fuse for it?
@@Sunkist75 I did (5:08)
30:08 No seatbelts. Not a good thing if you roll or go over the edge.
@@barrytunzelmann6010 that part of the trail is a 1 out of 10 difficult. My Kia Rio could rock that trail plus…If I roll it there I don’t deserve to live in the first place 😝
Alberta's toughest 4x4 trail?Hell no!!
Overland trail not off-road trail; I know it’s semantics, but if you want your video watched you need a silly title like this one. I know for a fact that Twisted Trail is way tougher than the connector.
Well that’s disappointing, Ive been there twice and hoped there was something better…….
Without the Northfork Pass (thanks to Teck Mining), the area is a collection of really easy trails. Some of the decents on the BC side of Racehorse were nice and steep which you don't really get a sense of in the video; but it's still an easy trail. That being said, it's one of the more picturesque trails you'll find in this province.
In the stock diff cover the full hole might be in the right position
Yep; it's very likely. Worst case you can drill a custom hole higher up on the cover and use a bolt to keep it sealed. That wasn't an option for my ARB cover as it's extremely thick; not just a thin plate like the OEM cover.
Such an awesome video and it was so fun doing Top of the World trail with you. You got some great shots of it! Someday I hope to do the Mackenzie trail in Canada. Many years of off roading to come! -1995 4Runner
Hell's revenge: hell yes!, hell's gate: hell no!, walking it was enough for me 🙃 Awesome video!
@@VoyagerOverland hahaha it’s not THAT bad. My wife says I’m not allowed to try it but…..
@@JustEmptyEveryPocket Ya, I confess, I would do it with an experienced spotter🤷♂️
@@VoyagerOverland the steps at Marble are worse in a lot of ways…
Well done sir! I'm in the market and want 60’s on 40's (currently have stock Rubicon axles on 37's). After your Moab trip, would you recommend doing 60's front and rear?
If you’re going 40s YES to PR62s front and rear. For me, 37 is max; I would have to give my garage a lift-kit if I had 40s 🤪 in Moab my PR44U/PR62 combo was absolutely dialed. Loved it. Also, for 40s it’s best to have hydraulic steering.
To find out what happened to Cole and Dashell, go to the channel for Matt’s Off-road Recovery and search for the video “Off Road Rookie makes a BIG MISTAKE.” 😂
This gorgeous video deserves so many more views!
Glad you think so! Most of these longer adventure videos take a while to get discovered. I’m not doing this for a job (thank God) so I don’t pay attention to the traffic. I just want to put together the best little films I can and have fun doing so.
I look forward to this next winter. Got some life insurance and a winch.
@@johnmadsen37 it’s a fun trail. We were about 2KM away from some deep washouts. I really wanted to try them but we ran out of time.
What a awesome Trip you had!
Thanks John! Planning MOAB Wander 2.0 already :) Hoping to go the same time next year...it was deserted just the way I like it. Hope to have a few people from up here along next year. We'll see.

Yeah she HATES off-road; it's a steep section that is quite challenging. Thanks for the links; looks like some interesting stuff! I will check it out.
Stunning!! One of your best videos yet!! Can't wait to get out there!!
Thanks!!! I think it's near impossible to make a crappy MOAB video hahahh! Do it! You will love it there.
@@JustEmptyEveryPocket Working on it!!
That Sir was a fantastic video! Moab is also on my bucket list, cant wait to see it in real life. Great video and thanks for sharing it.
Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated. Definitely do MOAB at least once in your life! You won't regret it; only thing is, if you do it once...you'll want to do it twice...and three times...and four times......
Saved this one for the big screen for when I got home. Great Video Cory. Looks so awesome down there. On the bypasses / easier trails. Are there much for guys with no lockers ?
@@RXN58 I’m sure there are people without lockers doing Moab…I wouldn’t want to do those trails without ‘em though.
Excellent filming and editing! Nice work!
Thank you very much!
Great footage! It was scary as hell to watch in person 😂
That's for sure!!!!!! I had to edit myself out of the audio hahahahha!
35:08 Not sure I would say I'm badass or an expert in anything, lol. I mostly just wing it 🤣
@@evanrmoon hahah that was more than winging it. Perfect line :) I attacked my fender with a sawzall last weekend. I’m doing it next year when I return :)
@@JustEmptyEveryPocket I was focused on getting ralph settled. I wish I realized you wanted to do Hell's Gate, I would have spotted you.
Oh no; my rear flares would have popped off for sure; I popped one off on TotW...so yeah...next year! I know I need flat fenders but I've been fighting getting flat fenders for two reasons 1) I don't like the look 2) the ONLY onese I like are the nemesis industries ones and they're THE MOST EXPENSIVE by a mile. I did some trimming to the OEM flares this past weekend, so we'll see how they are next time out.
Awesome video! One of my favourites of yours! The cinemaphotography was beautiful. Top of the world was definitely my favourite trail that you did. That storm when you reached the top was really quite cool, even if you were disappointed you didn’t see the sunset.
Beautiful footage Cory. Moab is a mountain bike bucket list location for me and it looks like it would be a great time. I applaud your daughter...that takes a lot of guts to be stuck in a small vehicle with you for that length of time.
Oh yeah; the Sandflats Rec area is FULL of MTB trails! I can absolutely see that as a bucket list for bike nerds. HAHAH! It's not THAT small!!!
Great video
Thanks! It was an adventure from start to finish. They worked flawlessly in Moab and my latest trip to Southern British Columbia. Super happy with how everything is workin. Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it.
Really good video
Glad you enjoyed it
I need a cup of hot chocolate just to get through this. Watching your breath is making me shiver lol! Good video. Hopefully somebody will sponsor you a space heater.

Check out Lucas coatings out of the Crossfield area. He uses endura (industrial mining) paint. Better than powder coating.
I went with self healing PPF. So far it’s pretty dialed. We’ll see how it holds up.
@JustEmptyEveryPocket awesome video by the way. Looks like a trail I'd like to take my 95 f250 down

Do you think a VW Touareg will make it there? The only mod I did is 33 inch tire
Nope.
If you had a lift as well I would actually say yes. Everything relies on the nut! - the nut holding the steering wheel. Just don't gun it on loose rock. Son and I did North Fork and back Racehorse one weekend and never even needed to spot.
