Gotta say this is so much more relatable than the DED! Watching you struggle to remove a seat was great, shows you encounter the same issues as everyone and not just blasting through builds like nothing. DED made it look easy and quick! Excited to see what you and Dave do in the future, keep building!
Finally: A video that shows what it's really like to remove a part from a vehicle. Get tired of those videos where someone says now we will remove this and BAM. The screen changes and the part is magically laying in the shop floor like it was so simple and smooth. Not !! Thabks Fred for being real.
As a 2 door JL owner this is good stuff. Thanks Fred. Oh ... and I showed my wife this video and said "I told you it was worth putting our day old rear seat in that Christmas tree bag, it was gonna be worth something some day"
Thank you Fred. Seriously, because TBH, as much as I loved DE, the one thing I wished more for was time watching you guys work and build these awesome rides. Dont get me wrong, Im sure everyone can agree that we didnt want an imbalance of the show between work and adventure; I think its safe to say that we all would have wanted a longer show/more air time to dive deeper into your work. However, now, here on YT, we get to see that; how you operate and how your brain works. Just like when the rear seat latch cable was broken and [although] you were narrating, you can clearly see that you were internally troubleshooting what your next move was. Truck/car guys (as we all are) experience those moments all the time, and you've always brought a sense of realism to the show, which is why we can relate and loved it/you and Dave's dynamic so much, because you gave us a sense that we could all hop into a garage and work together equally. Thats what DE did, but now your YT channel does it even more and better, and for that I am thankful for you. We all wish you guys the best and hope you know we're enjoying this. Thank you for continuing and not quitting on us. We have your backs and will support you guys
Time flies by so fast. At first, it's hard for me to believe a JL could have gotten in this bad of condition so fast. But then I realize it's been out for 4 or 5 years.
@@21jimmyo You underestimate the roughness of some humans 😅 The amount of dirt and trash and cigarette burns in the BACK seat make it a little more understandable
When I bought my JK used it didn't come with a backseat and I just used it as leverage on the price. I haven't missed having it. All I do his haul my dog around back there.
It's nice to know Jeep has still kept the frustration lineage alive and well in the latest versions. I'm looking forward to broken star head bolt content.
I’m looking forward to seeing how you are going to build Nub-Sock. I remember the episodes when Tony helped you build Tube-Sock. To this day, I still think that is one of the coolest Jeep’s out there.
Tubesock is cool because it is Fred's Jeep. We got to see it evolve over the years and Fred did some awesome stuff with it. Hawaii was probably my favorite episode.
Hey 4x4fred Williams! Love your projects and your attitude for years! Didn't want to pay for the street car stuff I would never watch on motor trend channel! Glad you on your own! You've removed the tv production team bloat! It doesn't take 15 people to make good vids! Don't let the persuit of perfection stop a video! Ride ride ride!
Never thought I'd be so interested in watching someone remove back seat from a Jeep. I have wondered what would happen if those latches broke well now I know. Thanks for sharing!! This is going to be a great build.
Rock on Fred! Good to see the frustration that comes with hitting a big snag like we all do. Keep it up and thanks for continuing to share your adventures here. Also hey Batman!
Rear seat in my TJ is a similar but simpler and more robust design and still works great nearly 20 years later. The quality of newer Jeeps seems a bit wanting.
Thanks Fred, I am a techno idiot and hope that I am replying correctly. Thanks for all of the awesome dirt every day content and I look forward to future content on Diry Daily. Peter Holm
Also, if you are essentially free to do what you want, I recommend moving out here to middle Tennessee! We have Stacey David with Gearz, Vice Grip Garage, all the Power Block/Power Nation shows are all here south of Nashville. Franklin, Lewisburg, Chapel Hill, and Columbia are all great areas to live and film your new shows.
Dirt every day would have cut that whole process of seat removal down to 47 seconds, glad we get to experience all the pain and suffering this way ha good stuff
Hey Fred, I have a 94 YJ, I think you removed the back seat! I went to reinstall it and it's FUBAR, missing pieces, etc. etc. I decided it wasn't worth it and it's now a mini-truck! LOL. My version involved, internet searches, alcohol and Willie Nelson singing, "Me and Paul".
This reminds me of the tailgate latch issue with my 2007 Sequoia. The cheap plastic latch would break, so you would have to remove a bunch of stuff on the inside of the tailgate, including the window motor, to get to the latch to even open it. Once that happened, you had had to remove outside cladding to remove the latch itself. Had to do this like 3 times and let me tell you...IT WAS GREAT. Finally, someone in the aftermarket created a metal latch, which at least lasted longer.
Good old engineers creating problems that didn't need to exist...they literally could have placed 4 mount bolts that were accessible to remove the whole assembly whether the seat could fold up or not...
Really hoping you can turn this channel into something that pays your bills now that DED is cancelled. Always loved that show. Looking forward to more in-depth videos, on a more frequent basis than DED provided. Cheers!
Adding a small winch to the back of the shop might be nice. Pulling jeeps in all the way. Ps sorry I missed ya in Toledo. Worked and lived there for 15 plus yesrs.
The cards themselves will not hurt you. Since you have a partial set. Please wrap them in a old shop rag. Dig a hole. Then place them in the hole and fill it in. You will be fine.
If Dave shows up yer gonna end up with the 2nd V6 back in the passenger seat driving front wheels & stock location one driving rear , I see it coming... rockpile at Hollister Hills will be a speed bump.........
Fred you could use a tripod or something to get both hands free while filming. I enjoy these dirt daily vids and am sorry to hear about dirt every day.
Maybe am just getting older but a 2018/19 (not sure what year JL this is) is in my brain still a "new car" but, it's interesting to see how this Jeep has deteriorated in just a few short years. I am sure Fred will have it fixed up and looking sharp in no time. I guess it's just an observation on how people treat or don't treat their cars. My daily driver is a 2011 and it's like new even with 110K on it lol
Way Cool Fred!!! Sorry to hear about DED, darn it, love that show! But, like most people now a days, we're watching RU-vid!!! Really, I don't watch regular TV anymore. except Saturday morning when DED comes on. So, we get to watch you-Fred, exclusively YEH! Where's Dave? I'm really hoping to see your automotive ingenuity building off road stuff like Newbsock. Truely, best of luck moving forward, hope to watch more of FRED on RU-vid. Where's Dave? LOL!!!
Thanks for keeping the content going Fred. I loved your show and love all these videos! I own as JL as well and recently built a storage system where the rear seat went. Be cool to see your take on a design. I'm not sure, can I post a link to the pics in here? I think my last comment that included the link was deleted.
Bought my JK new in 18 and the back seat has probably only been in it for about 3 months total. Just wish someone made a rubber mat that covered the whole back floor with the seat out.
