@@BDL090754 keep in mind, that paint on the can will burn off. Its not rated for high heat. Might save yourself the time and scrub it all off and paint it with high-temp enamel or BBQ paint before you assemble everything. I knew it was gonna burn off, but just didn’t have the time to strip the paint, so i just burnt it all off. Also, the air mixer valves helps a lot. Almost no sooty black smoke from the flame
One thing alot of people overlook is the radiator cap itself. I had over heating issues and replaced the water pump , new coolant and ALOT of other things to help and still had issues. I came across a video that explained about how it could be something as simple as the radiator cap being bad or leaking because it's a pressurized system. I finally replaced the cap and all overheating issues were gone. It really can sometimes be something just that simple
@@jacktorrence3682 yes! Because if the system can’t reach its rated pressure, it can’t push the thermostat open. That’s a really good point. Idk if i showed it in this video, but i did replace my rad cap when i did this. I usually replace my rad cap any time im doing maintenance on my cooling system. Especially considering they’re like $15
Really good video… I’ve been doing the wiring on my own truck for a while, I drive a Gen 1 Raptor and I’m so glad you included the part where you show which color controls which so I can hook the LED to one Aux and the DRL to another AUX
@@carsonhoward1142 yup! Its helpful to know which wire energizes which. Thanks for watching, glad it was helpful! And I’m still running these lights, they’re nice and i like the look of the DRL ambers on them
Already replaced thermostat 2X, vacuum lines with coolant flush, Burped, changed coolant sensor, and still overheats. Ordered a different thermostat so hopefully this is the charm. 2015 Rubi JKU with 86k
I would recommend only using the OEM (Mopar) thermostat. The aftermarket thermostats are rated differently. But also, have you done an exhaust gas check? Make sure it’s not a head gasket? Are you leaving coolant from anywhere? Is your radiator fan turning on? There’s some big relays for the radiator fan, are those fried? And, do you have grille inserts?
So the solution was a new thermostat again, but this time I ordered a better one online, not Chinese made. OEM are backordered for months. It was a thermostat from Gates
Great video, I've been looking for a more portable cot option for my swag, thought the overhang might be an issue, but it doesn't seem like you've had an issue and looked stable using that big bear oasis cot. Thanks for the info!
Yes! The overhang it does have is actually perfect in a way. Keep rain away from the cot. One complaint, this cot is low to the ground. But it’s also very compact, so good trade off. The Big Bear Oasis cot is can’t find it on Amazon anymore, but any XL cot will be the same dimensions. 👍
I like this one. Its what I'm looking for. I believe the extra holes you referred to at 16:50 are for mounting additional hardware like the Hi Lift Jack holder (been looking for these lately and they mount onto the existing hole locations of the OEM hinges, which align with those outer holes) and maybe the flag holder.
RC doesn’t make any accessories for those holes, and i haven’t been able to find any built that’s the correct thread to work in them either. Everything just binds up But the hinges have treated me well. Not had any issues
@@farmersgrip i can lay flat on my back with no issue (width wise). My dog (pit/lab mix) has slept with me in there once or twice, that is a tight fit, but it was fine 👍
Thank you for this video, I have been looking at swags lately for my motorcycle adventures due to the durability along with ease of setup/break down of them and I have been cautious of how long they are because I am 6'7" (used to be 6'8") and 300 lbs. you have definitely helped me make a decision.
@@nate5234 oh! Yeah i have had this problem with a couple videos. Its my mic, it likes to record in stereo and then it only records the left channel on the GoPro. I missed the setting on the mic and didn’t realize in editing that it did that. 👍 Competing devices
You could! Let’s say i seasoned it “naturally”. Its been rained on multiple times now. It’s not completely canvas, it’s a poly-canvas blend, so it’s not really necessary like with full canvas.
@@bigzoffroad I’m having the same issues. Only my radiator fan won’t turn off. I replaced everything….. sensors, thermostat, fluids…. My pump is fine. I believe it to be the thermostat though, it’s not Mopar. I was told that Jeeps are very particular about the OEM thermostat. So I got one that will be here Monday and I’ll see if that fixes it.
@@cmkpro81 i don’t think the thermostat has any control over the fan turning on or off. That’s all controlled by the relays being fed information from the coolant temperature. But yeah, i would only use the MOPAR thermostat. Also, you could take your current thermostat and gut it so it’s just wide open (remove the spring and seal) and see if that works, because it could be that your thermostat isn’t opening? So as soon as you turn on your jeep, the fan is just running? Or once it starts it won’t stop?
@@bigzoffroad it turns on when I get up in temp and stays on even when it’s cold outside. It goes up and down. I stop at a red light the fan slows cause temp goes down. I speed up fan goes up.
You know, I’ve been running with this roof rack for like 4 years now? Its been nice! I’ve laid it into trees, loaded it way over its “rated” capacity. It’s all messed up now, but works just fine! Haha
Bought my first Jeep, three weeks ago, wrangler 21. Been driving around with this random rattle, have tried everything to figure out what it is. I will look into adjusting this tomorrow and hopefully problem solved. Thank you so much for posting and sharing this information.❤
I climbed in the back tonight as my girlfriend drove down the road and that’s exactly where the noise was coming from. Been trying to figure it out for weeks.
how fast does it grind things flat? Does it grind hot welds really well? How about stainless? does it make a groove well? I weld power poles, and my job restricts cutting wheels of all things. Not even really expensive ones, like, they limit workers to one cutting wheel per week, and they are the cheap ones. You make really good points, and I'd love to see if I can use this to replace my cutting wheel, or maybe even my grinding wheel if it does good enough.
Hey, thanks for the comment and questions. It grinds pretty decently, and now that you ask that, i really wish i had included that in my video to show how it grinds compared to a flap disc… might make a part 2 now… haha! But it’s a flush grinder, so it’s a bit better for blending stuff down. If i have a lot of grinding to do, i prefer a flap disc, and flap discs have a little “give to them” so you can push them into what you’re grinding without bogging down the angle grinder. BUT! It will obviously last longer than a flap wheel or grinding disc will. I don’t really use any grinding whees, just cutting discs, flap discs and this. I would also recommend checking out Nate’s video at Dirt Lifestyle. He did a video on this same disc and covers more than i covered and different things and has a different perspective on it. But, since i bought this, I’ve gone through one cutting wheel and this is still performing like new, and they do honor their lifetime warranty on it, so it’s a “buy-it-once” kind of tool. I’ve never worked with stainless, so idk that i could give you an answer there. And for making a groove. This might just be me, but this disc seems to bite and kick easier than a cutting wheel, so yes it can make a groove, but not the same as a grinding or cutting wheel. Not as “smooth” i guess? Hope that answers your questions! Man… looks like I’m gonna have to make a second video on this! Thanks! 🤣
Follow-up: this video was spot on. Mine was scraping the bottom, so I moved it all the way up, then halfway down to split the difference. The good news is - that resolved the problem. The bad news is - I way over-torqued the bottom screw and broke the shaft inside. So, I need to drill and tap out the broken screw and replace it with a new one.... and not go full retard strength on it next time around.
Great video! Can you wire the blue and white on the same pole or will that make them turn on together? I’m wanting one to turn on then turn the switch off and back on the other comes on
If the DRLs are on the same post as the floods, they’ll come on together. You could wire them both to their own switches no issue, i just wanted mine to come on with my factory DRLs.
Thank you!! Nate at Dirt Lifestyle did a review of these as well and covered but only different but a lot more than i really have the capability to test on it, and his review / comparison also has some great information. If you haven’t already watched that one or want to see even more on these wheels His end conclusion was different than mine, but i don’t disagree with his reasoning
Hey Big Z nice video. Question I never changed my Transfer Case fluid , I'm starting to get more "hands on " with my jeep, my Wrangler has 190,000 klm on it (my bad) there wouldn't be a problem in doing it now would there, as alote of threads I've read about Transmission Oil change (which I haven't done either) is to leave the trans fluid now because I may run into problems. Thoughts ??
Thanks for the video my man ! I recently acquired a 2006 TJ that was not well maintained, but has a 3.5" Lift. The 4.0L engine is great, no issues. It has 227,000 km on it, which is about 140,000 miles. But all the steering and suspension linkages need replacing. I'm looking at the Rough Country HD Steering upgrade with new stabilizer, upgraded motor and transmission mounts, all new front and rear suspension control arm bushings need done.
Im running 35x12.5x17 and im on my 3rd rough country tire carrier!!! The bushings at the pivot points arent lasting..... thankfully rough country has a decent warranty
Oh dang!! Haven’t had any issues with mine off yet. But yeah! Rough Country aint exactly the best product out there, but they do stand behind their shit! Haha
Thanks I’m gonna check my mine tomorrow. Makes a lot of sense being that I just took the spare off because it had a nail in it, and set it in the back floor of the jeep, and noticed that the rattle had gone away, probably because there was no weight on the tailgate!
