Thanks! The engine has 165,000 on it and just before he passed my dad had to replace the VP44 injector pump which are notorious for going bad on these trucks due to low fuel pressure. Thus, my next upgrade will be an aftermarket lifter pump - thinking of going with the Air Dog 100gph unit. Next...

I am a little embarrassed to even share mine given how awesome many of your rigs are! LOL I inherited a 2001 Dodge 2500 4x4 with the 5.9 24v Cummins last July. When I went to Washington, where my dad - the previous owner - lived and died, it had: no brakes and no brake fluid (rotors were gone up...

I think the key takeaways are: 1. Run whatever radio your crew runs - they are who you would likely be talking to first anyway. 2. Don't count on the radio - whatever kind it is - to save you. Be ready to save yourself! 3. Keep an eye on what radios events or off-road parks are suggesting as...

Bought my Jeep with 84,000 miles 1 year and 8 months ago, and currently have 110,000 on it! Averaging just under 1,500 miles per month... :oops:

I too started with just a CB which I installed and then tuned (i.e., adjusted my antenna for the perfect SWR rating). However, when my buddy and I ran into trouble on a trail at SMOR and tried to call someone with a working winch to free his Jeep from where it had become precariously stuck, we...

I have seen several unit bearings presumably from different companies (e.g., Moog, Mopar, ect.) and they all: 1) have the same hallmarks associated with the plant of manufacture - making me wonder if, regardless of what you buy, they are all the same UB produced at the same factory in South...

The only downside of installing my new radio is that I needed to remove the bracket that supported my Bulletpoint mount that I had been using for holding my devices during my daily commute or while on the trail. As we all know, setbacks just necessitate upgrades! LOL This weekend I added a...

Beautiful ride! I love those hoods!

Based on my past experiences with AAA it seems as though they just manage the plan at AAA and rely on "partners" (i.e., local towing companies) to serve as contracted labor. Any objection or concern from a partner and they rely on their user agreement to explain away why you were not supported...

Man, I love your videos! We only got a couple inches in Omaha over the weekend, but it got me my "sliding around corners" fix in the Jeep! I have been trying to get the wife's Challenger to slide corners using the engine, but the electronic nannies refuse to allow this to happen unless I turn...

Oh! And take a grinder to the mounting tabs on the new lights before you try to install them. I ground just past the paint on all 3 tabs on both lights and they fit snugly after the first light would not fit at all. I read reviews on the Amazon page that alluded to needing to do this but thought...

FANTASTIC! Just make sure you point them... Mine were WAY too high at first - when measured 3' from the ground with the Jeep at 25' away. Really nice solid cutoff line and lighting as good as my wife's 2020 Challenger or really any other new car I have driven! As I was telling the wife last...

LOL I would be more in favor of a GAU-8/A 30mm Gatling gun that is used on the A10! 😂 Going to be a tight fit...

Happy New Year! Frigid temperatures did not allow me to get as much done last week as I wanted, but I did get the fluids changed in the transfer case and both differentials! I thought my front axle was leaking around the seal and causing a drip on the passenger side, but I confirmed while...

I have long maintained the belief that there are only two types of Jeep windshields: 1) cracked ones; and 2) brand new ones. In the nearly two years I have been driving my 2012 JK I have had two rock strikes - both on the same two lane highway while traveling at 65 MPH and both from rocks...

I LOVE your videos! I watch a ton of YouTube content and your videos are definitely among the best produced and most entertaining. My dad was our Scout Master growing up; so he taught me and nearly everyone I grew up with orienteering. He passed away last July and it was nice thinking about...

Not much time for Jeep projects this weekend, but I DID get some new LED headlights installed and then adjusted the pattern so as to not blind oncoming traffic. I have been looking at KC headlights but could never justify the expense. I kept finding these cheap ($90) LED lights being reviewed...

Thanks, OverlanderJK!

Starting to research tires... I am noting that 35" KO2's are only available at my Discount Tire in Load Range E - weighing in at 69 lbs versus the 51 lb 33" Dueller Revo's I have on it now. However, 37" KO2's are available in Load Range C - weighing in at 65 lbs or 4 lbs less than the 35" tires...

Good on you for coming back to share the outcome! Quick unrelated question, I am looking at the same fenders as you have in the videos so I can remove the "outer" fender when wheeling and keep it on while on the street. I notice you did not remove the outer portion and was wondering why...
