Will She Let Me Install a Lift Kit on Her Jeep Wrangler?

- My wife has had her HellaYella 2 door Jeep Wrangler JL for over a year now and she loves daily driving it and exploring new destinations out on the trails. While the JKUR is very capable in stock form, I’ve always wanted to add just a little lift and slightly larger tires to it to give it just a bit more capability, but still maintain good daily driving manners. In this video, I try a little experiment to see if she’s willing to allow me to install 35” tires and a 2.5” lift kit… we’ll see! #jeepjl #jeepwrangler #jeep

Save those wood blocks. Hot glue them to her shoes. Problem solved!
🤣👍
Now that’s funny right there. I don’t care who you are
Love it
A very thoughtful and considerate husband you are. Looking forward to your jeeps holding hands among the rocks.
😂
Just get her Rockslide engineering steps.... then no problem. 😁
My wife loves them . I bought them for her as you said happy wife happy life 😁
I had them on my JKU with the extra armor now for over three years now and bet the crap out of'um. They are tuff as hell . Not like amp steps lol...
Mall crawler type.
@@pullingtaffyproductions8148 We've been using the Rockslide Engineering slider steps for about four years. They are super tough. They do need some maintenance but that is pretty easy.
Pulling taffy Productions Hahahaha it’s the only way
@mk319mod0 With the number of Jeeps and mods this guy buys, you think $2200 on some steps is going to break the bank? Come on. He bought his wife a JL Rubicon to drive to work. He bought a Gladiator Rubicon because, well, he wanted a Gladiator Rubicon. I don't think he's gonna sweat over a couple of grand.
Smartest man alive! Checking with the boss before you ruin her ride 🤣
She’s a trooper Brad. Merry Christmas to you guys
Get her steps. She’ll save the seats by not sliding down when she gets out.
I have the Roam Offroad steps on my jl. They have taken a beating, and have been great.
Kirk Walters definitely agree with that
get like some deplorables hooked up to the door opening and closing
@@teabag_0119 Deplorables!!! LOL All y'all are missing out without a nice set of deplorables. Available now in camo or rhino lined
I measured carefully before and after I added my 35" tires and MetalCloak 2.5" lift. At the driver door, my Jeep was 4.5" higher after the lift and tires. Different lift kits can give different amounts of lift despite them both being "2.5" lift" kits.
This was a really sweet video. You two have great chemistry, and you seem like a great couple! I wish your wife the best and hope she enjoys the new build! Happy trail riding!
Awesome! I’m excited to see some more of this story unfolding; like footage of you all exploring more trails together.
I’m just throwing this out there. If you like it, take it. If not, send it right on back...
But it would be cool if you did a trail trip, similar to what overland history does with his New Years crawl. Taking a bunch of people with different rigs on a easy trail to camp and hang out.
Great idea with the blocks. I'm going to have to use that trick with my 4runner. Can't wait to see what it looks like all done!! Hope she likes it!
A set of the step sliders would help your wife out and save the seats over the long run.
I was thinking the same thing, Ouch! That seat is going to get ruined with all that sliding out... Please add some rock steps and save the Jeep seats ;-)
"I need a purse" she's awesome. 😂
Awesome, can’t wait the build video.
Great video as usual, thanks Brad! Happy Holidays!
Hell yeah love your install videos.
Well Brad after watching this video, I bought a jeep this weekend.
Congrats!
Hats off to Mrs TrailRecon. She's a good sport.
Can’t wait to see the transformation!
Like the vids man keep up the good work
LOL. Excellent. Reminds me of my wife getting into my 2 door JK passenger side with the same set up (2.5" and 35s). She has a system...Foot, handles, pull, butt, and slide. When she doesn't say it, i remind her. She is 5'4". But you know, I am actually 5'8" myself and I got used to getting into the jeep quickly (no purse though haha). Your wife will do the same and love her jeep even more after it's all done. Great Video!!!
FINALLY, some 2 door love!
Rockslide engineering. Was not a fan, but my 5’3” woman loves them and me for putting them on. 👍👍👍🇺🇸
7th Communications Battalion, Camp Hansen Okinawa Japan! Ooorahh! I was there 94-95 with Construction wire. Never thought id see that banner in a TH-cam channel!
Your wife was a great sport participating in the simulation!! It’s a workout getting in and out of my Jeep with our lift and getting over the dirty rock sliders!!
I completely understand; the struggle is real!! 🤣🤣❤️🐞
It’s a Bug’s Life it’s a hard life but someone has to do it
Ya just get a step! Poison spyder has their new rocker knockers for the JL and they’re coming out with detachable steps. Got my rails on a couple days ago. Steps coming out soon is the last word I got from Alex.
Jonathan Wallace - do you have a link with what the detachable steps would look like?
Great vid, Brad! The love/connection between you and your wife is so palpable and beautiful--saludos! We all miss you much down at the point.
Cookies are a good thing just getting her in the garage is quite a feat in its self way to go.👍
We'll see!
Well done video! I'm certain your wife appreciates your effort to meet the modification with her approval! Semper Fi!
She was a good sport about that looking forward to the finished video. Merry Christmas.
Haha! Happy wife happy life :-)
Well when we bought our Wrangler 2 years ago it was pure stock. Now, after a lift kit, tires, bumpers, exhaust and acrid top tent my wife is using it more than me. It’s our both hobby. She is happy driving it and I am happy swinging the wrenches and spending the money!
I wish you a merry Christmas time and best regards from Germany!
Love all the garage decorations, Semper Fi Doc!
Great video...
You and wife are great inspiration..
🙏👏👍🇺🇸
Thank you!
We feel her pain! My wife & I are vertically challenged & have a lifted 2020 JLUR with 37's. We use grab handles that mount above the door openings on the roof frame + the Rock Slide Engineering electric step sliders with their extra armor. This solved the issue. Hope our RSE steps are as durable as Pulling Taffy Productions says!
I guess it’s a go! Awesome! Can’t wait to see the JL lifted!
Great video thank you!
Great channel! Love it Brad!
Thank you!
RSE Step Slides are your saving grace. We lifted my wife's JKU with the AEV 3.5 and ended up closer to 5". Wife was NOT having it so we invested in the steps and she loves it now.
Shes so cute. Haha, get her on screen more.
This video was from 2 years ago, but I still re-visit frequently as I improve my own 2021 JLU. I just added the Mopar 2" lift today, and at 5'4, I am going to have to practice getting in and out of it somewhat gracefully. Regena has been such an inspiration for me!!!
Thank you so much! Regena and I appreciate the kind words.
Rock slide step sliders...my wife LOVES them! 2 years no problems
I kinda, sorta, made the mistake of letting my wife drive my JLU Sport. It's got a 3.5" life and 35s.
She came back from the store with a huge grin to tell me she wants a her Jeep lifted. We ended up with a compromise. I'm giving her my Jeep and I get to buy a Raptor..
Rick Boyett not a bad compromise at all
Rick Boyett smart man, well-negotiated compromise I must say
Made a mistake? Lol you got the better deal!
@@whosmansisthis1894 naw, it was a mistake. I simply made the absolute most out of it.. I closed on the new Raptor the day after making my initial comments.
Cant wait to see how this turns out. Keep that lovely wife of yours happy Brad.
Well I’m behind here again playing catch up on your videos 😂 think we have a lot in common what ever it takes to make our wives happy 30 + years for me what a great sport your wife is love her Jeep excellent choice on the lift she’s gonna love it as always be safe
Electric steps, I did those on my jk and my wife love them.
Smittybilt side steps are what I run on my TJ, bad ass steps that just bolt into the frame, perfect for light offroading and ease of use!
Couple goals.
Rock slide engineering steps. Best of both worlds.
Ok, that was just funny!! I am looking forward to this upgrade. Thinking a pair grab handles on the rollbar would help with her getting in and out!
Any real concerns with doing a budget boost lift? Just don’t know if that lift kit and accessories are in the budget!!
I just wanna say thank you for your service in the navy!
What a great wife. Mine suggested grab handles over the door for getting in and out. Mine like the 4 inch lift with 35s on her jeep with handles as an assist. She is 5`8".
Love your videos keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Watching your channel makes me want a Jeep so bad it's Killin me.You guys look like your have a great time. Maybe 2020 will be kind to me
Nice test. Definitely a good plan. I wish I could convince my wife to switch to a Jeep.
Awesome! Looking forward to this! Also what “stage” is this kit? I’ve looked at they’re website and it goes all the way up to “stage 8” 🤔🤔
Rockslide engineering for sure my wife and kids love them
Well Mr. Recon, looking forward to the build. Is the kit you have the stage7 or stage8 ?
Nice, 2 door content! Oh... and ROAM makes some frame mounted rock rails with steps for 2 doors. One of the few company's that do, and what I am putting on my 2 door JLR build. They come with lights for the steps when you open the the door (nice touch for your wife to see the steps in the dark).
Happy wife happy life. Smart man.
Looks like a big family trip is up here in the future!
Ace Rock Rails helped me get out when I lifted my JK!
Always good to see the "grunt love" hanging on the wall, Semper Fi, John McClain, GySgt, USMC, ret.
Ace engineering rock sliders. Mounts with the rubi-tail and gives her a little step Love mine
Yep my wife wants the Rockslide Engineering power steps.
Love the new, flat logo!
Cool you took the time with the woodblocks. I bet you could sleep better knowing that she was happy!
"MCPO" You are a brave man, trying this on the "better half's" vehicle!
Wife's a champ!
Exactly as others have suggested ... steps might be in order; rail integrated or powered - either way. My wife has power steps on her F-150 & it’s a win w/ 6” lift.
I'm short and with legs problem so power step (if have money rock sliders) works great for me , in off road and for parents too
That was GREAT!.....
Oh your super lucky! My wife hates any tiny bit of change. So that would have been a no for her. But glad your wife is making the change for the “better” 🙌
Looking forward to the install video!
If your wife really needs a little help getting in and out, what about electric steps that swing out when you open the door...
The squeaky jack made me giggle! 🤣
My harborfreight jack squeeks like hell also😂
Here’s to more fun in the garage!
Good sales job brad, lol, look into some triple tube sliders for her. I bought the redrock sliders for my jk so the grandkids and ladies in the family could get in and out easily. Mount the same as stock sliders and are’nt terribly expensive. That little step makes all the difference. Merry christmas to you and your family ! 🦅🇺🇸⚓️
My wife is short so I got drop down steps that are electric and she loves em 2015 Rubicon with a 2.5 Rubicon Express lift kit and she has no problem getting in plus I installed grab handles also.
Rock Slide engineering makes a great set of electric steps that can handle moderate rock crawling. My Jeep runs one tons and 42’s, lift is custom but if I had to guess it’s probably about 8” of lift. At 5’10” I can get in and out with one big step, even with a skirt :)
Good wife. Another viewer suggested steps (are there removable steps for when you hits the trails?) It is WAY worth it, Sweetie! You guys have a Merry Christmas!
Just stumbled on this your channel!!! Its great. I just noticed the guidon hanging up on the wall!!! I have friends at 7th Comm...I'm currently at 9th ESB but debating on my new truck when I return to the southwest. Jeep Gladiator vs Tacoma.Thoughts
I have the same Ryobi saw. 👍🏻
What stage Icon lift did you go with?
Yeah she’s definitely going to wear that seat out if you don’t get her step
How does the jeep handle and ride with the Icon lift Kit? Are there other kits you would recommend? Thanks, Bob
Hey Brad would you mind sharing stage was that 2.5 lift kit?
Merry Christmas Brad.
Merry Christmas!
Being new to the 'lift' scene, and after helping my son lift with 2 1/2 on his 04' 4Runner, do you consider any need to beef up the drive train? thanks. Have a blessed Christmas.
Did you have to regear the truck after the 2 1/2 inch lift and adding 35 inch tires?
So awesome!
Hi Brad, I've been watching some of your videos for a few days and have really enjoyed them. I got pumped up enough that I went ahead and got a 2.5 lift with 35 tires. Since you've been doing this for awhile, what is your recommendation for bump steer, loose steering? I was excited when I saw my jeep with the lift and new tires; however, got turned off as soon as I hit the highway and went over 60. The steering was loose and a little bit of bump steer. Kind of freaked me out but I'm sure you've experienced this. Anyway, what are your thoughts, recommendations?
I’m looking to do the same options. 2.5 lift and 37”. What’s the overall height from floor to roof??
do they make rockslides that are also steps for the jeep in the states? long term would make it easier getting in and out. also gives something to keep the rocks away from your door in tight stuff.
Definitely get a set of Rock Slide Engineering steps on that for her. Put some on my JK for the wife to get in and out easier. In her opinion the best parts I’ve put on it.
Your wife is the star of the show!
Brad, what stage lift kit did you buy from ICON?
@TrailRecon Why aren't 34 inch tyres common in contrast to 33 and 35?
what stage of ICON system did you buy?
Rockslide steps. Big help
I just noticed your 7th Comm Bn flag in the background and realized my nephew is assigned to them. Semper Fi.
