We are the Losee family of the Idaho Panhandle, our goal with this page is to share our outdoor adventures from hiking to boating, camping and Jeeps, I (Chris) have had a Jeep obsession's since I was young and have spread the Jeep love condition to my family! Our goal is to share the great outdoors and all they have to offer. I envision much of the material we share will be Jeep and trail oriented, there is no better way to enjoy and experience nature and get away from civilization than to do it behind the wheel of a Jeep!
you drivin or you dri nkin? water bottles fit anywhere and the only time you can have fast food in your car is with a passenger to feed you fries so what even is going on here
SO glad I found this! I was thinking of getting an old Jeep Cherokee and wrapping it for my business. I wondered about the cost comparison between commercial wrapping and DIY - this was really helpful!
It's better than nothing, I suppose. Just have to make sure you only buy canned drinks. But they are selling tall cans nowadays with tea, soda and energy drinks, so it shouldnt be a huge problem.
Trying to do the valve adjustment and see if any rockers are worn. On my 02 4.0 I’m a little lost on how to know each cylinder is at top dead center. How do u know if u don’t mind explaining?
@@Mo_Money73 To replace only the rockers I don't think it is completely necessary. If you are removing the valve springs you would want to do it to prevent dropping the valve into the cylinder.
Right on ! We love the mud and rather it's the XJ or the ZJ , we always have fun .. I have a winch on the ZJ but never had to use it in 10 years it always digs it's way out .. & it's been up to the doors , scared the wife so many times ,,LOL
Sounds like a blast! I just added a winch because I usually head up in the hills in the early spring before all the snow has melted and end up getting stuck...
Currently fighting the same battle on my '02 GC with the 4l, just got my new rocker arms in today. Was excited at first but after this video, not so much 😭. My rockers are also worse condition though, and there's about 3 I can move by hand and replicate the noise my 4l makes while running
Hopefully the rocker arm replacement helps you out. If you read down in the comments somebody also recommended replacing the valve springs. Maybe that could help too? I'm thinking when the weather warms up I'm going to drop the oil pan to look at all the rod bearings and check for broken piston skirts. If that is all good then I will rebuild the entire top end I think.
@@FamilyJeepingAdventures I also planned on rebuilding the top end but running a bunch of different cleaners did help quiet mine down, I'm thinking maybe my noise might be more loose pulleys than rockers/lifters/injectors etc
@FamilyJeepingAdventures it's possible I'm wrong but I believe I seen this as a factory option but they're not something I'd spring for since they're so shallow
@@sc400gilliland Yes I am on your side on that, I have had some drinks tip when cornering or stoping because of how shallow they are. I do like the 3d printed ones in the console though, the downside to that is that I like to rest my arm there when I drive...
Question. Can this thing burn a car? I have such a heater installed probably like 10 years ago on my car and never used it. Right now I would, but really afraid whether it's safe
Thank you for watching! I think it is extremely unlikely. It is said to only reach 195deg F. That is the typical running temperature for most engines, also consider the fact that water boils at 212deg F. The device doesnt get hot enough to boil water.
@@kovalenkoihor4325 If that were to happen it should blow the breaker in your house/shop. That being said, there is always a risk when playing with electricity, do so with good judgement.
That is a good ear, sadly I sold this Jeep last year... It had lost compression on 2 cylinders. I ended up replacing it with a 91 Cherokee. I still love the classics though. Most of the trails up here are forest service trails, usually maintained ok, there are a few places you can go to have some fun, and the scenery is always awesome!
@@FamilyJeepingAdventures Thats cool. Im from McCall, but I live in the Treasure Valley now. Id imagine up in Sandpoint most of the trails are like what we had in McCall. Nothing too technical. I do a lot of wheeling around Kuna now and by the Orchard training area. Lots of cool stuff to flex yor rig and test your traction. Lots of short steep climbs with shelves at the top. Pretty fun.
@@moneymatters2223 Not 100% sure but I would think so? As long as you have a 4.0. The ones that I used were listed for years 87 through 06. Elgin Industries Rocker Arm Kits compatible with 1987-06 Jeep 4.0L 4.2L V6 Wrangler Grand Cherokee a.co/d/1PnvUbd
Thanks for watching!!! This is the link to the exact muffler I got, you will want to make sure the one you choose fits your application (pipe size, offset and muffler size). Hope this helps. www.magnaflow.com/products/11226-magnaflow-4-x-9in-oval-straight-through-performance-exhaust-muffler-11226
