Jeep & Land Rover tech tip of the day:
Always bring your friend in the 4runner.
I don't think I've ever changed an alternator in a garage. Every one of them was in a parking lot - typically on the hottest day of the year. The luck o' the Irish, I guess.
My favorite TFL series. Tommys a good guy just like his old man. Moab is on my bucket list. Keep it up Tommy. Bring Nathan along in his 04 Taco ....if he's got "the cahonies". LOL
I've been on everything you showed in this video and the camera NEVER does and justice... when you said "Holy Pickles this is steep" I know you ain't lying😂😂
Airing down tires gets a perfect 5/7 score. It's the best. Good job, guys.
I'm one of those seasoned hardcore guys and I wanted to say nice job on the video you did here.
thumbs up for sure.
Thank You Ken!
There are several things on this video that deserve comments. Instead, I'd like to answer a question that was asked near the end, "What could be better?"
Answer: Driving some of those same roads during the week when there is hardly anyone around (i.e. other than during Safari Week) and camping overnight miles from the nearest paved road.
We have a book that lists four dozen back roads in the Moab area (and we've driven more than a dozen of them) but there are at least a couple dozen additional primitive roads within 50 miles of Moab that aren't even listed in the most popular guide books and aren't used by the Red Rock 4-Wheeler club during Easter Jeep Safari. If you like solitude, get the most detailed map(s) you can find. Then go explore.
Wow, thanks for the tip.
Best episode yet. I wish there were trails closer to where I live.
I've changed alternators in a driveway and a garage but my off-loading hat is off to you guys. I pushed my 88 4runner with tires and wheels as the only upgrade.
As an old man, still love this!
I don't find jeeps to be budget friendly at all lol.
+invisibleaznDJ you can do better but theres one thing about jeeps...the parts are cheap, so for every inch you want to lift and every o2 sensor or alternator you have to replace its like half the price of the toyota
@@philtripe not now. Oem is a bitch .
I'm glad there's finally a new episode. I really enjoy this series!
Excellent video guys! Glad you stuck with it on the alternator swap. Great job on the wheeling and some really nice trail footage. Scott
Love these videos! Have a 1988 YJ myself, Jeeps are a lot of fun!
This has to be my favorite series on TFL
Thanks for making the video. Looks like fun. Iv’e take the same trip 8 years ago in FSBronco and it was awesome.
Love the budget builds that surround these kinds of episodes. Keep up the good work!
i had an '87 jeep cherokee, the old kind with the inline 6, i had to change the starter solenoid a few times. the battery was good the SS wasn't.
Great videos you guys made!! Thanks for keeping it real with the budget too. I'm a college kid only working part time, looking to see what my jeep can do before a big trip, and all i can find are videos of Jeeps with more money in parts than what my whole jeep is worth!
Bring back these type of videos Tommy. They are awesome.
“Holy pickles” Batman
Not gonna lie- I watched this twice... Could be that tommys more relatable because he's young, or that he also and only does keeps, but I think it has more to do with the fact that these 3 are basically the new Top Gear. Haha nice job guys!
You guys are having too much fun, keep it up !
Good stuff right here. Keep it up. Very entertaining.
Awesome video! Glad you guys took care of each other! #JeepWave
reminded me of the fun wheeling we did as kids. not everything has to be super hardcore to be fun
glad y'all had a fun time
Nice work guys!!! Looks awesome
This looks like SO much fun! I wish I get to go to do Moab some day.
It doesn't matter what you drive as long as you use it off road. Nice Job
Y'all are adorable, this was a great vid, keep it up.
Awesome adventure!
now i have a question for you! what brand is that basket on the 4 runner ... i bought the same from a guy downtown (used) and people wont stop asking where they can find it or the plan for it.....i told the to get their measuring tape some pictures and to find a welder but hey if a company makes them id like to know
Very good series.
Did Fins n Thingz 3 weeks ago and kennys climb, the off camber side of the slope was great to go up. Also did Elephant hill in Canyonlands and that was ton fun.
There’s no crying on baby lion’s back
cool stuff guys
on a stock yj you can get up to a 130 amp alternator, mine was 75 went to 90 should have went more but the 90 was in stock.
Tell your buddy my OCD is kicking in lol tell him to take the inner panel off that 4runner and pop that dent out easy fix lol..
Haha, you guys must be Roadkill fans. Great episode, this is making the wait pretty tough for my JK.
Love how that YJ had intermittent wipers but my TJ only came with 2 speeds.
i just wish they had access to these trails for all of their offroad vehicle test, you definitely get to see where a vehicle falls short and excels more than you do on the trails that you guys typically use.
check those lugs before and after wheeling! l threw one while wheeling and thought I broke something. just a lug flying under my Jeep. lol
LMAO !!! Holy Pickles !!!!!
What axles under there? And is that carburated or no?! I'm talking about Tommys...
nice episode
Seems alternators always go out 8n the middle of nowhere. I had to drop my fuel tank to change out a fuel pump - also in the snow. Don't know what's worse, laying in the snow, or keeping a hammer handy to hit the tools frozen to the ground. Ahh, to be young again. Couldn't do that now.
Great video guys. Just curious to why you can't change an alternator in a parking lot or on the side of the road? I've personally done that in a few different vehicles. Is there a law or something i don't know about?
way to go... some thumbs up, every one must know how to do in a situation like that...
I've swapped a TJ alternator in a driveway, would a parking lot be that much harder?
Me and my father replaced an alternator in a parking lot after a nascar race. Awww those were the days fun times
Tommy’s friends have a severe case of the giggles.
I am so glad you guys decided to replace the alt. It's necessary to learn how to work on your jeep if you off-road. Can't believe he chunked the core down like that though.
I had confidence you guys would be able to fix that alternator.
Did you ride with a scheduled group there or did you just pick a trail and go?
what air compressor were you guys carrying around?
Hi I started Watching you And Your Friends. I Noticed that You Put On Some Lift Spacers were Those Hard To Install.
Looks like the only decent tyre is the spare on the red Jeep.
Good thing you had the 4runner to make parts runs for your jeeps
find and things is a fun beginner trail.
"Fins & Things" is a reference to thin slabs of rock standing on edge--fins.
what's the gear ratio in the green Jeep
Lol I was about to say...you didn't want to change an alternator at a truck stop? Roadkill would replace an entire engine, brake, and fuel system in the middle of nowhere haha. Good job guys
Whats the specs on the red jeep yj?
Good for you guys!!..If the Road kill guys can swap out an engine in a parking lot I knew you guys could do an Alternator . :)
look up roadkill pls :D u guys will love it and learn some stuff!
All jeeps are capable they were all capable brand new so always will be
Dam that Yj is clean for its age, I own a TJ, but I'm still debating on selling it and buying a new Jeep Unlimited.
I'm with Gray Man! \/ The best times I've ever had in Jeeps was when they were relatively stock and WERE A CHALLENGE. I've "overbuilt" more than one 4wd and it gets boring just pointing it at an obstacle and letting out the clutch, the Jeep then doing everything without any challenge. The only way to get that simple thrill in highly modified trail rigs is by adding substantial risk (read: upside down or crashing or worse). Keep having fun and the rubber side down. And sell me that Sahara for $5K!!!!!! I need another one to match the one I have!! =]
Holy pickles; this guy should have played Columbus in Zombie Land.
In the time you spent farkin around, you’d have changed the alt and had a smoke....live in Canada and changed a head gasket on a side road....in winter......good to see you kids buck up and get it done.
Yes, everyone should learn to wheel with open diff's, teaches you how to pick a line. You don't learn that if you start with lockers !
Um, is it bad my jeep sometimes makes a hissing noise? 😂 runs fine, no check engine light. It's not a vacuum leak (already had to fix one of those.) is that just normal old jeep behavior, or should try to figure it out? Maybe it's a belt...
+Skeetshooting7 Hissing is probably an exhaust leak somewhere.
I'm in Denver. I'm a budget jeeper. Can I go with you guys soon?
OMG dude. Not replace an alternator on the side of the road? I replaced my son's tensioner pulley on his '02 Outback on the side of 70, right before the Loveland exit. It died he was lucky to get to the side.
Imagen having friends like them
Don't f'up the core you can probably get it sent for a re-build
Do you guys have your sway bar links off?
+mimimurder14 definitely not, if they would invest in sway bar disconnects they would have a much better time offroad
ummm how did you go from somewhere so snowy and ended up in a shining summery environment? that's insane
Mountains to desert.
WTF are you on? That slope at the beginning is steep?
What happened to the yj
Yo, the TJ is the best cheap IMO
Miss the 4runner
Good fun Tommy! Capturing the essence of a road trip! I'm sure you've been back here to Moab several times in the past couple years (since this vid was published), and there are several great moderates and light difficult trails for you and the guys to wheel on!!! Baby Lion's back is a GREAT and steep hill! If you haven't yet, turn around on the deck after the back side drop (stay out of the lake that forms back there ;) and climb the back side!! That's good steep fun!!! Fins is great, You'd get a kick out of Hell's revenge (as far as yuo dare to go, the ledgy exit can be the crux), and on oand on.

(BTW, that's the suby I referenced in some of the other TFLC videos and would love to bring it out to the channel's off-road test trail...sometime ;)
ciao and best!
This looks steep from down here. This looks steep from up here. This was the most scary hill I've went down. This was the most scary hill I've went up. Oh god. Wow.
There's a 5 second synopsis.
👍👍😎
#Jeep Just Empty Every Pocket. MOAB is for mall crawlers with Rubicons who are scared of going up a mountain logging road with tree's to smash into (Goldmine hill) ... 4Runners are recovery 4x4's for mall crawlers who don't know how to drive in rocks! Nice video Tommy keep them coming.
How does alex survives under the sun? xD
10:05 - you're to close
does that red yj have air-conditioning????
I know yj's had optional air but does that Jeep have air
Charge the battery and drive it.
Did you get your core exchange refund after smashing the alternator off the ground? 😁
+TommyGun AutoZone doesn't do those anymore, sadly. So I didn't get my $20 back :/
Are we absolutely sure this kid is old enough to hold a valid driving license❓He looks about 12 years old. 👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻
"classic road trip" u must have meant "classic roadkill"
Im gonna bet not only ON the Toyota, and not against it, but Im gonna say that throughout your difflock series you are going to fix both of those jeeps 100 times and the 4runner will always be there for you, strong and going effortless at what ever you throw at it.
Time will tell, but I bet you will be thankful that you are not with 3 jeeps out there.
Keep the series going!
I know this is a year old comment, but I had to reply... I've always been a "Jeep guy", I had a modded ZJ and was up until recently, dead set on getting a newish JKU. I've since decided I want an older rig I won't be afraid to wheel, and also that I won't have to wrench on every weekend, so I decided on..... a 3rd gen Runner like Matt's. Once I learned they can fit 32's stock, were available with a rear diff lock, and came with 4.30 gearing on the ones with the locker, I was sold. Now just to find one in New England that doesn't have a swiss cheese frame.
so you guys know why Colorado is called Colorado, right? and I know I go out in the wilderness to listen to a F)(@#'g stereo cranked up 3 gulleys over.
Sooo....The 4.0L inlinesix takes 10w30 oil....not 5w30. Come on.....
Can’t change the alternator in the parking lot? Maybe you shouldn’t be wheeling..
Its not a car snowflake
Where are all the people that say this is not real offroading?
+Aaa Zzz They're all off doing real off-roading❓🙄🙄🙄
Piece of shit Jeep 😎
I'm glad there's finally a new episode. I really enjoy this series!
