Uhhhhhh i have an opportunity to buy a transport vehicle for a good price. BUT- the problem is that I don't need to transport 25 people!! I need a place to live. I'm trying to find someone who does these rebuilds in NJ. (Near let's say Atlantic City area-ish) but I'm not having any luck. So I'm trying to NOT hold up the person selling the vehicle. They said they don't mind holding it for me bc they're familiar with my situation, so if I can find a builder!!! I have a chance. Any suggestions or recommendations in the South NJ area. ????? Thank you in advance!

Hello, my name is Jessica from south Florida, I was wondering if you could help I have a Rubicon 2024 all stock I was wondering about purchasing wheel and tire package Can I go with 37”s a 3.5 lift with out having to regear? Also I hear people taking about 4.10s. What is that. In advance Thank you for any advice ! 🙏

@@hotjesssica954 you can make that setup work lift and tire wise. If you don’t change the differential gears, your transmission won’t use 7th and 8th gears frequently on the interstate. You are better off planning to have the vehicle gears changed when you do the lift. A 4.88 gear set will make it close to stock in terms of power and fuel economy. A 5.13 gear will give it more power. I’m not sure how far south you are, by Roco 4x4 in Miami is a great shop that could help you with your build.

First, I love your content. You do an awesome job describing pros & cons as well as how to videos. I agree with you on most things, but I'm going to have to disagree with the flares. True the off-roading will cause paint chips, IF one doesn't either DIY place clear paint protection on the painted flares or have it done professionally. I know this cost, but I think at least placing this on the flares & I also put it on the hood as well. The problem I have with the black plastic flares is the chips still show & there is no protection you can do for those, PLUS my biggest issue is the fading of the plastic over time. Anyway, that is my two cents. I think placing clear PPF is the way to go
@Ali_Mansour_Editor24 күн бұрын
This Wrangler had the paint protection on the flares. After a year of wheeling , it was full of holes and dirt was getting underneath it. The same thing is happening on my 392 Wrangler. The flares on my Gator Gladiator are the black plastic ones and have small chunks missing from them from years of driving on gravel. That doesn't look great, but it's not as noticeable as it would be on a painted flare. I agree with you completely that the plastic fades (and too rapidly at that). I just haven't had good enough luck with the PPF to put any faith in it.

Really enjoy your videos. I’ve got the 2” dynatrac lift and currently on 35s. It is a nice set up. Want to make the step up to 37s and know there will be some rubbing unless I tweak a few things. I’ve already got the 2” rear bump stop. Could add an additional 1/2” there. Also Do you feel that chopping your fenders would completely eliminate the chance for rubbing ? Or will some body cutting be necessary? TIA

You can ride every trail there on the Surron with the exception of the very front side of the Daniel trail. It’s just too rocky and not that much fun at that spot. I would probably start with the Lakeview Trail. It’s pretty mellow and then work your way around from there. Some of the trails are currently closed until August 1, so that’s gonna limit you a bit.

I don't understand this. Many people say to pull the F42 fuse, and then to take the black cable with the 13mm nut off of the ground of the battery and leave the other one on (the one with the smaller nut that takes both cables off).. And they say this disconnects the AUX battery and turns the ESS off.. but when I do this, my vehicle has no power when the cable that they say is the aux battery cable is not connected to the ground. I don't feel like going through all that work to take out the aux battery.. but I believe that my aux battery has died and is now draining my main battery. I could take it to the dealer and get it replaced but I am selling a lot of stuff on eBay and I don't want the hassle of a dead car and being unable to drive right now.
