The Jeep CJ, the icon that started it all, is the most popular off-road vehicle of all time. The look, style, and functionality of the CJ made it instantly popular and recognizable the world over, in no doubt partly due to its military presence in World War II. The Jeep Wrangler platform had the difficult task of replacing the extremely popular CJ platform. Outwardly similar in appearance, the YJ, TJ, and JK that followed all had significant design improvements, as can be expected when a platform has a life span of more than five decades. The YJ was the first Chrysler release after it purchased AMC in the mid-1980s, and it was aimed at taming the original CJ for more comfort and, arguably, a larger audience. The TJ that followed next was an evolutionary update, significant in that it featured a coil spring suspension and the celebrated return of round headlights, for a more traditional look compared to the square lights of the YJ. In Jeep TJ 1997-2006: How to Build & Modify, everything you need to know about how to modify your TJ for off-road use is covered. Beginning with why you should choose a TJ for modification, Jeep expert Michael Hanssen takes you through all the different systems needing modification, including engine modifications and swaps, transmission swaps, transfer case and driveshafts modifications, axles and traction systems, suspensions and lifts, wheels, tires, brakes, chassis protection, electrical, and winches. Included in every chapter are step-by-step modification instructions to help walk you through the process. If you want to build a TJ for serious off-road trail use, or you just want a capable and great-looking Jeep for around town, this book has you covered. Pages: 144

My Response to the "Starting Over Jeep Challenge" and #EileenStrong
Two things going on in this video.
First is an answer to a callout from my friend Nate over at the SWBCrawler YouTube channel. He started a challenge to Jeep YouTubers to create a video about what you would do differently if you started your build over again - or if you started a fresh build, how you would do it. You can watch his original callout video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXLkj3eTHzo
Secondly is a tough thing for me, but I finally decided to share some info about my good friend who was seriously injured in an accident after a day of wheeling at AOAA. You can find the GoFundMe mentioned in the video here:

Metal Masher Trail in Moab Utah with KL Young from Twisted Jeeps - 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
What a great day! Metal Masher is a Jeep Badge of Honor Trail, so make sure you check in if you are collecting badges. KL was a great guide... so thanks to you for recommending him, and thanks to Twisted Jeeps for allowing him to spend a couple of days hanging out with me!
Overall, I'd rate Metal Masher as a moderate trail, with some optional advanced obstacles. We didn't hit several of the big obstacles because there was just more risk for vehicle damage or breakage. I asked KL to keep things on moderate range of the "Easy - to - Extreme" scale. And that... he did. That's also why wheeling someone familiar with the trail is nice... they know where all the bad things happen. :-)

How To Fix Can't Load Android System Recovery Screen Seicane or Other Car Stereo Head Unit
So... yeah. This is a video I didn't think I was going to make. I honestly didn't think my first attempt to fix this was going to work. But, it did. So now I am catching you up.
Here's the screen that came up:
Can't Load Android System. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device.
Seems easy enough to hit that "try again" option...but there are no physical buttons on this device. Only soft buttons and a single reset button. Here's how I solved it.

Dodge Rebel RAM 1500 Diesel Testing at Hells Revenge in Moab Utah - Off Road Spy Video
Sorry Jeepers... consider this a commercial break. If you have watched my JL Diesel testing video, then you have seen this footage. As it turns out, the Dodge Rebel 1500 Diesel testing is more interesting to a lot of folks, so I broke out a separate video (at the suggestion of a subscriber) so truck folks don't have to watch all the Jeep footage to see the truck in action! :-) Now... back to your regularly scheduled program.
Shoutout to "Desert Speed Mafia" for the idea of breaking this footage out into a separate video!

ORO Tru-Turn Steering Stabilizer Relocation Kit Install - Jeep Wrangler JK - OffRoadOnly
Finally found my solution to relocate the steering stabilizer on OVERCLOCK3D. I've been running without one for several months... and even did the Colorado/Moab trip without one. A steering stabilizer isn't need to have a vehicle drive right...but it does help prolong the life of your steering components by dampening some of the high frequency vibrations and also protecting your gearbox from big jarring hits.
I found this at http://offroadonly.com/shop/steering/off-road-only-tru-turn-steering-stabilizer-relocation-kit-for-jeep-wrangler-jk-2/
Tru-Turn Steering Stabilizer relocation kit for Wrangler JKs moves the steering stabilizer from below the tie rod, and up to run along the draglink and attach to the frame at the driverside.
The welded bracket with the ears mounts between the factory swaybar mount and the frame with the moving end clamped to the draglink with our steering stabilizer bracket kit as shown below. This kit includes all the parts to mount a standard 8″ eye to eye steering stabilizer in this location, but does not include the stabilizer.
There is a spacer plate included to space the passenger side of the swaybar mount down an equal amount as the driverside for when a swaybar like our SwayLOC is used.
Even though I didn't use the drag link bracket from the kit... it was totally worth the purchase for that frame relocation bracket. Most people, however, will use the drag link bracket as well.

SPY VIDEO - 2019 DIESEL WRANGLER TESTING FCA JEEP JL AND JK AND DODGE TRUCK
Sorry for the wait, but here's the video and some photo footage from out run-in with the FCA Engineers who were out testing the 2019 Jeep Wrangler JL Diesels. They also had a JK that apparently has had a diesel in it for a couple of years, and a full size Dodge pickup. I left the footage raw so you can hear them... we didn't follow them around to get video all day, but when we ended up bumping into them on the trail, I tried to grab video to share! :-)
Sorry for the watermarks...but people have been screen-grabbing and re-sharing my content and claiming it as their own. I don't mind if you share, but please at least give proper attribution to @o3djeeps! www.o3djeeps.com

Drew and Sean Struggle at The Car Wash at Hells Revenge in Moab - on Dual Sport Motorcycles
This video is a little different than you are used to seeing from me. Sure you'll see a couple of Jeep running The Car Wash at Hell's Revenge, but this video is more about the guys on the motorcycles. We had so much fun!

Fins N' Things - Moab Utah - Jeep Badge of Honor Trail - September 2018 - Fins And Things
This was our run on Fins and Things. This was the warm-up run before spending the rest of the day over on Hell's Revenge. This trail is pretty much slickrock and sand. There are a few fun spots here and there, but it's more scenic, and dare I say, relaxing that technical. That's my friend George ahead of me in the Jeep, and my motorcycle-riding friends Drew and Sean are out playing on their own out there...

Stahlbus Oil Drain Valve - Compared to Fumoto - Jeep Wrangler
One of my subscribers mentioned the Stahlbus Valve in a comment on another video. I had to check it out. Now I share what I learned with you! Because I'm just nice that way. :-)
https://www.stahlbus-us.com/
Here is the one for the Jeep Wrangler JK M14 x 1.5:
https://www.stahlbus-us.com/oil-drain-valve/oil-drain-valve/stahlbus-oil-drain-valve-m14x15x12mm-steel-set.html
stahlbus Oil Drain Valve M14x1.5x12mm, steel (set)
M14 x 1.5 Set
A conventional oil change is always associated with spills and dirty hands. Therefore, this system has been developed with which you can perform an oil change completely safe and clean.
The stahlbus®-oil drain valve will easily replace the existing drain screw. When changing the oil, you unscrew the cap and put on the hose connector via quick release. Only when this is locked, the valve opens and the oil can be drained into the provided container.
The advantages at a glance:
• Easy handling due to quick release
• Drain valve can not be lost
• No risk of burns from hot oil
• Seal change is not necessary
• Sump thread is spared
• Double outlet protection (protective cap and valve)
• Connection to suction possible
• Optimal application for discharge sampling or trapping
• Protective cover against loss through O-ring
• Change oil without tools
Thus, the oil change makes fun!
Delivery:
- Valve body, CNC precision turned part made of high quality steel
- Copper seal
- Hose connector, CNC precision turned part made of high quality steel
- High quality hose 40cm long
- Protection cover made of aluminum, anodized
- Illustrated Manual
Please choose the matching thread of the bottom part (adapter). If you are not sure which kind of thread you will need, you will find here some ideas and help for determining the thread.

Poughkeepsie Gulch - Ouray - Animas Forks - Silverton - The Wall - Jeep Badge of Honor Trail
I almost killed Drew and Sean on this trail. At least that's what they think. In retrospect, not a good bike trail. :-) As far as the main obstacle, The Wall, as you will see I didn't do as well as I wanted. I really wanted to hit it again, but there just wasn't enough time... so I take my first run, and I stand proud of it! lol All in all... it was a great day!
