Orangie has everything you need for exploring like you do…and nothing you don’t. It has taken you to more places than most people dream of seeing in a lifetime. After all these years, who can argue with your experience?
Good tips here thanks! Man I could not get the front stab link off!! The top nut was "fused" the the bar. I did get the 4 shocks, coil springs, steering stabilizer, rear stab links and rear lower control arms though!
From being laid on its side in Canada to all the off roading and rock climbing and over 100K miles Oangie still looks like a new jeep. Chris you have taken awesome care of your beautiful child. Now off to a new adventure afoot. Have a super blessed week. I just read the video and miller time didn't look like a miller to me LMAO.
Chris this video reminds me when I gave a 3'' lift to my brand new 2016 Rubicon right after I bought it. It was fun doing it. Hope to see another 100000+ miles of adventure with your Jeep.
I'm going to be replacing the front bump stops and rear shocks on my truck sometime next week. The parts are ordered, just waiting for them to get delivered. I did the front shocks/springs, upper and lower control arms about a month ago.
When my friends and I had a 4Wheel drive shop here in Colorado, we did a number of these coil spring replacements. We would go to Autozone and borrow an outside the coil spring compressor. Made very quick work of the Springs. Would also wd40 the bump stops and holders to get them in easier. Overall nice job Chris. CHEERS from Colorado 17:55
When I was driving home from Arizona yesterday, I passed an orange mustang that had the license plate ORANGIE. And all I could think was, that's on the wrong vehicle. 🤣
Aev is good stuff. Real workhorse off road. Not fancy but quality and it works flawlessly. I replaced the aev 5100s to the aev 8100 bypass shocks and while expensive it was a huge upgrade in handing and off road performance.
Chris, you made that look relatively painless as much fun as it is crawling around on the ground in gravel. Actually it's not much better on concrete when you have tired old bones like mine. Could someone help me up please?
having done this activity a bunch of times, I kept wanting to reach in and help you do this! You did it nearly how I would have, and honestly, you didn't struggle much, so you obviously know what you're doing here. NJ sir.
Jack up the axle without the spring to put the bump stops in. A little grease or dish soap and they go right in. A floor jack and concrete make the job SO much easier!
Thanks for sharing Chris, nice job with the maintaining of your JK! That was hilarious washing your Jeep after you did the work. Last week I did the same thing, I’m still digging dirt and sand out of my eyes. 🤪 And thanks for sharing your tire size, I appreciate it!
HI CHRIS 👋 YOU MADE IT LOOK EASY ! I WAS GOING TO SAY / BUT YOU FIGURED IT OUT ON THE SECOND ONE / BUMP STOP / I LIKE THE RACHET STRAP , IDEA 💡 YOU MADE ME THINK 🤔 I SHOULD GO SEE 👀 HOW MUCH MY FRONT COIL SPRINGS WOULD COST WHEN MY NEPHEW & I REPLACE THE FRONT SUSPENSION ON TASTY . SO I CAN GET A FRONT END ALIGNMENT JUST ONCE . THANKS 😊 GET THE LEAF SPRINGS FOR THE REAR WHEN I HAVE THE FUNDS . THEY'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF MILES & YEARS ON THEM . MAYBE A LITTLE WEIGHT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE TOO . BEEN GETTING A LOT OF RAIN 🌧 STORMS HERE ON THE EASTERN COAST . HELPING EVERYTHING GROWING & BLOOMING 🎉 BE SAFE ☺️ 🙏 HAVE FUN ☺️ 🙏 ENJOYED ❤GOD BLESS YOU BOTH ALWAYS ON YOUR ADVENTURES 🙏 THANK YOU ! ☺️ 🙏
Well done Chris. I did my first suspension install before I had my TH-cam channel so I didn’t film it. But when it’s time to update it, i will do something similar to your video
Well done Chris. I know how much you love Orangie.
Looks great. New engine, new shocks and springs. She's ready to go.
Adventure is afoot.
Fixing up an old friend. It feels good on another whole level.
Orangie has everything you need for exploring like you do…and nothing you don’t.
It has taken you to more places than most people dream of seeing in a lifetime.
After all these years, who can argue with your experience?
"FOUL LANGUAGE AND LUBRICATION " that was memorable coming from you Chris. 😅😂
Good tips here thanks! Man I could not get the front stab link off!! The top nut was "fused" the the bar. I did get the 4 shocks, coil springs, steering stabilizer, rear stab links and rear lower control arms though!
I sometimes let your episodes play all day while working, some of the most satisfying ones I remember were when you would service the Jeep.
So, rewarding doing your own work.
An Iconic Jeep for sure! Great to see Orangie getting ready for adventure! Chris, you are an inspiration to us all! 😁
Perfect job for gloves

Orangie says yessssss thank you Chris Back to the trail we go. Don’t forget Shannon
Chris this video reminds me when I gave a 3'' lift to my brand new 2016 Rubicon right after I bought it. It was fun doing it.
Hope to see another 100000+ miles of adventure with your Jeep.
Good job! Solving each problem as they came up!😊
So satisfying watching your vids. Especially your how to vids on Orangy. She looks leveled. Great job Chris.
Orangey rides again!!
Nice!! Great glamour shots!

Bringing it back...
Great video Mr. Shontz

😂
Impact socket police are coming for you! lol great video though showed me what I needed to know thank you
Still a great looking Jeep 👍 Don’t forget to make sure everything is torqued to spec.
LMAO....lubrication and fowl language. My go-to method as well.
Almost…No broken bolts and not much blood equals… any successful repair!👊
13:55 - Removing/installing the nut on the passenger side shock is a real PITA. Been there done that had to buy the wrench.
Remove the fuse box, then drill hole through plastic where the top of the shock is to gain access. Reinstall fuse box. Easy.
@@ddbrocato This may sound sarcastic but it isn’t.
Where was this info when I needed it last year.
Thank you. That is very helpful.
dont forget to grease ball joints and ujoints while you're down there!
Lubrication and foul language always seems to help.
Truth! 😆
Great to see some love for Orangey, good job Chris!
Thank you Brother, great video!
How do you like those shocks? It's time for me to replace mine and I have a 3.5" lift.
having done this activity a bunch of times, I kept wanting to reach in and help you do this! You did it nearly how I would have, and honestly, you didn't struggle much, so you obviously know what you're doing here. NJ sir.
Glad to see that I'm not the only one who lays in the gravel to work on their Jeep. I will be doing the same job on my Rubicon soon
mmmm refreshly squeezed orangie juice.
Why do i feel he's going to do an axle upgrade?
Congrats Chris! Great choice!!!
Thanks!!
Hey Chris, I wanted to contact you but the "Contact us" page on your website is just blank... How can I contact you?
It is on the roadmap to fix :)
So nice to see Orangey in all its glory and ready for action !
Jack up the axle without the spring to put the bump stops in. A little grease or dish soap and they go right in. A floor jack and concrete make the job SO much easier!
Some Jeeps can tell many more stories than others!
Thanks for sharing Chris, nice job with the maintaining of your JK! That was hilarious washing your Jeep after you did the work. Last week I did the same thing, I’m still digging dirt and sand out of my eyes. 🤪 And thanks for sharing your tire size, I appreciate it!
Very informative thanks
I really enjoyed your video
WoW, Great job Chris! I have Fox shocks on mine with a 2 1/2 lift on mine.Thank you for all your experience !!
After 4-5 years, time for a new 4x4. Your tech abilities are most impressive, but I'm plain ole lazy and I like all shiny new.
As others have said -
"U make it look so easy". You'll have to report back on how she rides out on the trail.
Nicely done Chris.👌
New love for an iconic Jeep.👍
Glamour shots look great.
Yeah that was a nice little job. Should make it a ride a lot better now 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Hi Chris nice job on Orangey I am getting ready to do that on our sprinter van
I'm old enough to remember when people threw thier loose lugnuts in the upside down wheelcovers... those were the days!!
That Was Easy! Lol
Dish soap is a life saver. Exhaust hangers... think about it. 😉
👍👍
“Lubrication and swearing gets the job done” 😂
Jeep life!
Nice

Totally satisfying doing work on your own rig
Orangey - the legend.
U make it look so easy
Great job man!
Great Video!
What lens do you have on your camera?
I shave been switching between Panasonic LUMIX S Pro 24-70 and 70-200.

That looks significanly more painful on a JK
