[Bear_JT]

Great video Cindy and Eddie! Thank you for showing us. There really is no better peace of mind on the road or trail than being prepared and knowing how to fix something.

Hi. Thanks for all the good info. Question. What size ammo cans are you using to carry your fluids. Thanks.

Actually, what you see in the video are actually cans made for night vision goggles. They originally came with thick foam padding inside. What I love about them is that they're the perfect size for tall things like gear oil.

Now there's a problem I'd like to have. Cool Vid.

You know, the JL is mighty fast too :yup:

That was a nice simple fix. I can see where most people would chase the wrong end looking the problem.

How did you figure out what the real problem was?

This also shows the value of never leaving without being prepared to work on most anything.

I'm embarrassed to say that it took a while for me to figure it out. It ultimately took me reading through the tech notes that Atlas has to get an idea where to start looking.

Good to know it could be an easy fix. I don't think I've ever been over 75 MHP in our jeep LOL

LOL!! I think that's most people. Fortunately, Moby is powerful and super stable. :yup:

So funny. Was thinking the same thing.
Maybe in our JL’s right?!

Neat video Cindy and Eddie. Loved the “roadside” setting, cowboy and all.

The cowboy visit was a nice treat for us for sure. We actually talked for quite a while and found that his horse was a rescue from a BLM round up. As far as speed goes, the JL with the all new 8-speed automatic will get you moving for sure. This is super nice in places like Nevada, Utah and Texas where we have 80 MPH highways and tractor trailers ready to roll you over if you aren't moving at that speed. :crazyeyes:

Moby sounds great!

easy enough fix, wondering if the same thing could be on the 3.8 JK?

I've noticed a slight shake when letting off the gas pedal at higher speeds...my fix has been to not go so fast lol

definitely going to make the check since it's so simple, thanks! :thumb:

The rattling in the shift lever is an Atlas issue. Unless you've got one, I doubt it would be what you're experiencing.

You’re always amazingly prepared. Awesome job!

Well, you know I try to be if only to help others out

Great video! Do you think the guy on the horse stopped to offer you a ride to town?? You guys take " Go Prepared" to another level.

LOL!! Now that would have been funny. :crazyeyes:

For better or for worse, a Jeep as old as Moby and one that's been punished as much as he's been, you kinda have to be prepared for the problems that come with it.

Nice video for a simple fix. Of course that's assuming you knew where to look. I do now.

that was easy...

I am always awe struck with the level of preparedness you and Cindy bring with you on the trails. It wouldn't surprise me if you had a slushie machine for a cool drink on hot days and a GP Medium military tent to cover Moby while you make repairs in the rain. Plus the mechanical knowledge you two possess.

Great Video!!! So did I win the shot glasses?

 

[BaddestCross]

I hope one day I have an Atlas so I can try this fix.

Video needed more cowboy.

I don’t have an Atlas and wouldn’t know an Atlas from a hole in the ground! [emoji51]

The back end of Moby is better equipped than my garage, need more Moby videos.

My garage has slowly been making its way in the Jeep because of watching trail repairs. It's bad when I open the tool box and then realize I put that in my jeep tool box...haha. I really could use a second set of gear wrenches.

Amazing what a relatively simple fix that was, and pretty neat to see that cowboy offer help.

As always another awesome video!

LOL!! Yes, it was easy this time around. Truth be told, there was a period of time where I was beating my head against a wall being that I had no fricken clue what was causing the problem. :crazyeyes:

:cheesy: It's only because if it can go wrong, it's gone wrong for us at some point and time. We only carry what we've needed in the past. :crazyeyes:

Video needed more cowboy.

:cheesy: Yes, more cowboy would have helped :crazyeyes:

LOL - for the most part, most people would never have a need for one.

Truth be told, I literally have 2 sets of tools and one is in my garage and the other is in my Jeep. :yup:

Give it some time and you'll have 2 sets of everything just like me

Amazing what a relatively simple fix that was, and pretty neat to see that cowboy offer help.

It was very cool to see a cowboy ride up and offer help. It was like he came out of nowhere and then rode off.

As always another awesome video!

Thank you

Excited for this series. I think a lot of people (including myself) tend to overthink some issues rather than seeing them for what they are and just working through them.

Good info thanks...glad you added the horse guy in the video . :thumb:
