Kevin, CAUTION anytime you join 2 straight cuts, where they meet you create a stress riser. It is best to drill a hole at the intersection and join the straight cuts to the radius formed by the hole as cleanly as possible.
I got rid of the u joint straps on my drive shafts and drilled the yokes out and use u bolts. Still holding up after 20 years. Good video guys. It's easier to right an rc car!
Kevin. Good job. You have a lot of knowledge. Sometimes it’s good to see y’all working on your Jeep like the real world in drive way on jack. stands. Good Job y’all be safe.
Impressed that you can do all those repairs and modifications yourself. I’ve learned to work on my Jeep much more than any previous vehicle I’ve had before, but I can’t imagine ever being at that level. Impressive.
Did the money out thing with my cj7 and 1992 Cherokee and 1995 grand Cherokee. I’m older and wiser now and can’t be bothered. 2010 fj and 2000 4runner. Just a modest lift and bigger tires in the stock rims and I’m good to go. Yaaaawn...🥱😴😴😴😴
I’m into scale RC which is based off the type of platform he had there but his was a bare bones RTR. These RC trucks can be built to look exactly like the real thing with real winches and everything. Very fun. Rc has been a hobby of mine since I was a kid second to motorcycles, I’m just now getting into the whole 4x4 off roading thing with my 1990 Toyota 4x4.
Literally just dropped my rear Tom Woods 1350 , had all the u joints & ball replaced.. rebalanced and I am watching this right after I took it for a test drive. Why blue locktite? I thought red for drive shaft bolts? 🤔😳
Enjoyed watching this video as usual and really thanks guys with all the current situations and how difficult to upload your videos but you still working hard to make it.
Awesomeness.....Stepchild is more capable now and reliable in a different way....Jelly 🐶 is fast and was gaining on the RC @ the end.....one more rep Kevin 💪......Brittany always editing (keep up the excellent work) can't wait for the next vid....Safe travels
Step Child is lucky to have you two loving "Parents"! I'm enjoying seeing your escapades! You are experts in finding local Equipment-makers...the new Spacers seems to be great workmanship! "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten"! Keep on Lite Brite Nation!
Glad to finally see the RC again. I love my scale crawlers. It looks like someone needs to work on their scale throttle control. :) Stay safe out there.
Harbor Freight shipping blankets for the win. I always carry two in my JLUR. They are great if you need to get under the Jeep. Nice vid guys. Always enjoy your content.
Great find. I'm going to look at the same width for my wife's XJ!!! Nice! Hahahahahaha that was the best ending of all your vids!!! I never go wheeling without my RC crawlers!!!🤘🤘🤘
I would have died laughing if Kevins RC jeep at the end of the video knocked out its drive shaft on the rocks lmao.. In all honesty though i love you guys and I am glad things are going good for you. Keep up with the awesome videos!
Great video as usual.i watched while sitting the parking lot of the doctors office,waiting on my 8year old to get checked out.thanks for great videos to make time pass by faster
When I first started watching you guys I was like maybe I should get a Jeep and go wheeling..... now I was how often you break things and I’m like I can’t afford that maybe I’ll just get an atv.
Why didn't you prime or paint the opening for the sway bar joint where it goes into the frame after you did the grinding? Seems like a big rust attractant on the frame to me. Good spot for some POR-15 or Rustoleum at least.
So how do you like the rock krawler compare to the metalcloak. I am currently unsure what I'm gonna go with at this point was liking the 3.5 cloak system but I like the beefyness of the RK ....?I know you have long arms now but still need some help. Thanks
Awesome video guys. Love the information. Would be nice to do a summary of "these are all the aftermarket things we still have on the jeep, these are the aftermarket parts we've replaced and why". I have yet to buy a jeep "still working on my Wife, but would be awesome to see a parts roadmap to tell me how broke I'll be. Hahaha
Impressive Kevin. I like the fact that you don't mind getting your hands dirty and do things yourself. Then Brittany, Brittany, Brittany your knowledge is exceptional. two thumps up... 🤠
Hmm, now that The Stepchild is 1” wider, I wonder if y’all can get through “The Squeeze” again. There’s only one way to find out! I’ll bring the honey.😉 Keep the shiny side up and Happy Trails!
Hey Guys, Love the channel Quick question: I know Kevin had said you guys are running "zero offset" wheels What width wheels you are rolling, hence back back space ( no spacers ) ( from Sydney, Australia )
Very nice camera work Kevin, you guys have come along way. It dosen't matter what anyone says or thinks, weather you do your own work or someone else does it, or you know everything or get advice from others, it's about living the dream, enjoying life to the fullest, having fun along the way, teaching and learning as you go. So you pay for some and you get some for free, who cares. Your doing what you want and I for one enjoy it. I've learn so much, and so much more to learn. So when I win the Foster Child and let you adopt it, and I buy my JL, I know where to start with mods. God bless stay safe be good or at least be good at it.
A few months back, I destroyed my driveshaft on a pyramidal rock in a similar way... Feel your pain. BTW - Those bistro markers are water soluble erasable. Those marks may not be there when you need them.
Good video and good info looking forward to the next. I am curious about Sand Hollow since I hear so much about it. I seen y'all video wheeling there and looks fun also really beautiful views. Gonna have to add it to my trip west once this all over.
Great video! I actually enjoy the install stuff from you two. That crawler looks like fun, it's funny I was just looking at those online last night, with pretty much all of New England being on lockdown and wheeling inaccessible, I was thinking of ordering one to pass the time with LOL.
@@RyanRKJ awesome! I don't really know too much about them yet, I've just seen a few RU-vid videos. Which one do you have, and what would you recommend for a beginner? I was looking at the Traxxas trx4s, they seem pretty cool and have some good features. And yeah, there's no real wheeling close to me, so I would do more off-roading with the crawler than with my 4Runner, haha.
Michael Smith I have a Vaterra Ascender. Lots of videos of it on my channel. It’s been very durable. However, the product is at the end of of its cycle, and will soon be discontinued. I’d probably suggest the Traxxas TRX4 Sport to start with.
@@RyanRKJ cool, I'll have to check out your channel. I did see the Ascender pop up in my research, I really dig the Suburban body! I also really like the TRX 4 with the K5 body. I know it's just the body, but the K5 is one of my favorite vehicles of all time. Was allso just reading a review of the Redcat gen 8 Scout, seems like that's a pretty good one, and I really like the price, it's on sale for $269 right now. Decisions, decisions.
