Jeep specific repair suggestions
Posted: Sat Dec 12, 2015 2:54 am
Hi Troy and the rest of the off grid community. I've been watching the YouTube videos for quite some time. I have been very interested in the jeep videos recently and thought that you might be interested in having some advice on how to repair/modify your jeep as you come across the issues that they have.
#1. When replacing or changing a tire place the jack under the axle closest to the tire you wish to change. ( do not jack from the body ) also never drive a 4 wheel drive vehicle with different size tires you will damage the transfer case unless you remove the front drive shaft. ( for vehicles without drive hubs )
#2. This particular body style jeep ( 2 door ) is notorious for hinge problems so be aware the the doors may fail at some point.
#3. Based on what could be seen in the video showing the damage to the hitch I believe that you do have damage to the substructure that may not be repairable without professional tools/equipment.
This post was not to rag or troll on skills or Troy's abilities I don't want to see this jeep damaged any more than it already is I only want to see the success for Troy's channel and if I can help I want to.
