ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ต.ค. 2024
- This time on the AutoEdits Jeep Wrangler video series... I'm freshly home from that epic trip into Mexico to run sections of the Baja 1000 race course with my friend Kris from PowerStop Brakes in his Ford Raptor and wanted to show you a few things to check over on your off road rig AFTER you get back from an amazing trip. Plus, I'll highlight a few of the heroic Jeep upgrades that performed above and beyond the call of duty on that trip!
Here's a link to the AutoEdits Amazon store front...

Oh, here's a link to the MetalCloak bump stops I liked so much...

Yes, I love the Mustang build.
Glad to hear this! You'll like the test drive video... I'm going to really thrash on it... at least that's the plan!
You still have some of the best videos. I'm about 1-2 years behind your build, but on my third Wrangler so hope to get things right this go-around and you provide great info and a peace of mind prior to any of my purchases! Cheers
Glad to hear this, thanks for taking a moment to share!
Pinto wants you to tell the delivery guy to bring treats; she's a good girl and deserves it! Also, she's doing her part to stop the squirrels from carrying out their plans to overthrow the human race... because she's such a good girl!
HA! That is a great idea about ordering treats... We both hate those squirrels! They are such jerks! LOL
Mustang, jeep , dodge & pinto the dog best TH-cam channel ever!!!!
Best comment ever! ❤️🐕
Thanks for showing how to jack up the Jeep!
You ask, I try to give! LOL
Kudos for being a very considerate neighbor, and pet owner. Pintos a great looking well cared for dog. Your neighborhood looks heavenly a quiet culdesac butted up against nature is what I call a little slice of heaven here on earth.
I have a little bit of a similar setup. I live in a culdesac in Chino Hills ca. That is butted up agsinst one of the many hills here, hence the name Chino Hills.
Thanks for this awesome share!
Large Marge sounded really nice. Perfect sound for that car.. Keep the video's coming. I'd like to see the one where you updated the ball joints!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't shoot the ball joints because when I searched youtubes.... there were tons of them and many were good. It's a total pain in the neck to do but kind of straight forward. Thanks for the liking Large Marge... can't wait to go shoot that test drive !
Those metal cloaks bump stops are wonderful.
If you ever driven to polihale state park in kauai,hawaii you know how slow most people go without bottoming out.
I'm pretty sure you can search on youtube for polihale drive through
With stock bump stops I only could drive like 5-10miles an hour because I'd bottom out.
With the metalcloak bump stops I can fly through that minefield of pot holes at 20-30mph. But it also could be also thanks to the falcon 3.2 shocks I've installed when I was upgrading my suspension
Always a good idea to make sure it is all together after a long trail ride.
I agree! Often overlooked maintenance!!!
I love all your vehicles. Good stuff Jason
Thank you!
Awesome Jeep! I want those fender flares. You should get an “invisible fence” for your pup. No more winch line!!
Those are the MetalCloak Overline fenders and I do love them.
I have that William half doors and I put the sliding windows in and so the plastic zipper ones and it works really well
Always great info...Thanks my man!!! 👊👍
Hey, Thanks!
I love how much you love Pinto
I do love that silly dog... she's been a great pup.
As always, Jason.... fantastic content. Love to see Pinto, the Mustang, and of course the Jeep (as that's why I'm came here in the first place), Please keep continuing. I'm ready to buy your merch when you sell it.
I so appreciate the support! thank you thank you thank you
A feel the same way glad I didn't go ahead with that type of carrier thanks for response Jason
Of course... I've been thrilled with the sportgate mount so far!
thank u jason for all the hard work you put into your videos, its very appreciated. Looking forward to future content
Well, thank you very much!
Great to see you back Jason and Pinto. For some reason I haven’t been getting the TH-cam notifications when you post a new video. Now I have some catching up to do😎. Looking forward to your Baja video. I was just at Mike’s sky Ranch last weekend. Quite a thrill, the last 15 miles in and pitch black and pouring down rain. Was in the 2500 ram not my jeep JK. Anyways Jason your videos are always great keep it real brother
Well, I'm glad you're back and I'm here with a lot of stuff coming... so thanks!
Awesome you're what we need in this crazy world. Love the Pinto!
Dang, this comment... feels nice.... thank you!
These videos get me excited to go out and adventure. The weather is getting nicer here in the PNW and I've got some new Patagonias mounted up and ready to go once the truck comes back from the transmission shop.
Yeah buddy!!! What size did you get?
AutoEdits I've only got a leveling kit currently so I got some 33x12.5 r15 But I can swap these tires between the '88 F-150 and my Bronco.
I always enjoy you videos on the Jeep or Mustang, but Pinto is the star. Got to love that dog.
I agree!!!
Have some of those bump stops coming soon!!!
Awesome to hear... have fun with the installation!
Another good video! I like the explanation of why Pinto was on a leash. It truly IS better for her to not be running around where she shouldn’t be and possibly get hit or eat something dangerous. People are so irresponsible now, AND you have to head off those folks that don’t understand good pet ownership at all, yet are the first to criticize keeping her on a leash. The Mustang is also always good to see!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you appreciate all those things!
Loved the video as always!! Pinto likes the mustang from the inside 😂😂. I enjoy the nut and bolt checks.....they are so important.
After run checks, people need to do more often! Nice job
Thanks... and congrats on First!
AutoEdits Thanks, I’m planning on doing an after trail run check up video myself. It’s on my list 😂
Yep,it was good use it all the time.
I've being following through quite a few of those upgrades and it's great to hear your combination and research has been working well! Thank you for all the great content.
I'm in the market for a brake upgrade and will be looking into the 2 kits you've mentioned. Thank you for the tip.
Thank you! I can honestly say that even the basic Z36 combo is a great way to go. I was very happy with that for years.
Jason I've been following your channel for years. Def the best Jeep channel on TH-cam. Thanks for your great videos! Oh and my cat loves watching Pinto too lol
HA! Thanks!
Thanks Jason! Will be getting the brakes soon off your store.
AWESOME! Thanks so much for the support! Even if you get just the Z36 pads and rotors you will be thrilled!
Great review Jason. The big brake kit is on my list, I’ll try and get it from your store when I do!
If you can that would be appreciated but I’m really happy for the view here and nice comment! Thanks!
It's always good to have a secondary fail safe even if you do your "shake down test". Didn't look like you chocked your wheels either.. It's always good to leave your Floor Jack up as a secondary protection..
Solid suggestions.
Another great video of your beautiful Jeep and Pinto oh and you too I guess 🤣 Looking forward to your bumpstop video soon Thanks again for your informative and entertaining videos
Huge fan of my MetalCloak lift on the JL, but I don’t have the game changer shocks. The MetalCloak bump stops are a noticeable difference over factory and well within budget compared to airbumps. Definitely +1 on the 38” MileStars, as I daily it as well. I put Falken WildPeak MT on my dodge truck, just need more street miles on them to decide on my feelings about them. They are great off-road, but a bit noisier on road(but in that truck their are so many other noises....which is why I daily the Jeep).
We have the same tire choice setup right now! I love the Falkens on my truck and I'm actually considering trying the WildPeak A/T's next time on the truck.
Love your videos keep up the good work OlllllllO
The Stang sounds GOOOOOOD.
I should probably do a more thorough inspection after trail runs... I typically just do a quick once over of fluids and tires and easy to reach stuff.
It's easy to take it for granted since these things just keep running sometimes...LOL I was even being over cautious about the bump stop but just thought better to be thorough. Plus, that's how I found loose bolts or "almost" broken things!
Love the Jeep videos but not going to lie I love seeing the work you’re doing on the mustang and the Ram
I love hearing this, thanks!
Always a great review Jason and Pinto🐕
Thanks so much!
The metalcloak bumpstops really work well for the money! I just wish the rears were a bit longer.
Do you use the bump stop extenders from MetalCloak? Add one more puck?
@@AutoEdits that's not the problem, a longer cushion zone like it is in the front would just be a little better. Like the teraflex speed bumps.
I’ll keep an eye out for the bump stop vid !
It's pretty straight forward but I'll turn it as soon as I can... the rear bumps stops are so easy!
AutoEdits awesome man ! After seeing how u abused the metal cloak ones lol I wanna swap mine out because I’m still rockin the stock ones
Pinto doesn't hate the FedEx guy. Pinto doesn't want the FedEx guy to leave.
LOL!
Hey so funny it looks like pinto took care of rolling her rope when you moved the mustang 👍😀, always fun listening to your vid 🤞 keep up the good work
She’s considerate that way 😂
That's so awesome that Pinto just hangs with you in the garage , I miss having a dog doing that . Good tips on what to do after a off road adventure . I check mine out two to three times a year no matter if I go off roading or not . So I was with Dan and Richard Mick over the weekend and I watched the video of you and Richard going up hells gate and I had laugh at your expressions . Hells gate is no joke though . Looking forward to your next video , take care and give some pets to Pinto from me .
That was an amazing experience... I keep meaning to catch up with them when I'm in Moab and never do! Thanks so much for watching this videos with me and Pinto the Dog!
@@AutoEdits They are great people for sure.
Only 8 of us?! Surely you underestimate the power of classic American muscle!
Ha! Well, your gonna like the test drive video!!!
I like your video very nice thanks
Thank you!
good video. I know I neglect this sometimes.
Thanks!
Nice video bud. I've been watching the mustang build with my buddy, just not cought up yet.
I just posted the current test drive video of the Mustang when you get a moment to watch it. th-cam.com/video/qSJ72eAVZFU/w-d-xo.html
Please show a side by side comparison of the damaged bump stop and the replacement. Congratulations on now being able to start the Mustang and not cry - just kidding. That was an awesome video when you got it started. :)
I will show the old and new bumps and yes... it is nice not to cry every time I go out to the Mustang LOL
@@AutoEdits thanks Jason, i love your videos - they're very informative and well edited. I have 2011 Dodge Ram 2500. I'm working on installing a Cobra 148 CB. Have you shown where you've installed your CB in your Ram? (If you even have one. )
Do you have a link for your wheels? I watched your video on them but had a hard time finding the ones you have. Thanks, love the work you put into your channel.
Same here. Its as if the manufacturer does not want Jeepers to buy them. I cant find them anyplace!
These are the wheels but for some reason you have to special order them with Jeep lug pattern www.visionwheel.com/wheel/7215/VisionOffRoad/398%20Manx-Beadlock?finishID=1897
Anyway you can add your jack and jack stands to your amazon store front? Or at least a recommendation for working on our Jeeps? Also, are you getting any metal cloak deals!? You have so many metal cloak parts and those are some expensive options (I’m very jealous).
well done! remember only tool box buddy the outside ;)
HAHA!!! I hope we didn't get (more) brain damage from hot boxing ourselves with that crap!
A MAN AND HIS DOG GOOD FOR HIM
The other thing I would tell viewers is to place the wheels under each frame rail when on jack stands could save your life if the jeep ever fell
I think there is a lot more than eight of us that love the Mustang :) Oh, and if you are losing PS fluid out of the top of the fill cap, it means its probably getting over heated.
Time for a cooling unit! That should be a good install.
@@AutoEdits now I'm curious how a cooling unit would function in a non circulating system 🤔
@@eugeneenslow8563 It does circulate. Several companies have coolers that are specifically for the JK. A few universal ones that work as well.
All my jack stands have came from former places of employment.
LOL
Best videos ever!
You are the best!
Am I one of the 8 waiting for the mustang video... hell yeah I am!!! Love iiiiit!!! (Ps if jeeps got 30 mpg you would have sold me a long time ago on them lol)
Glad to hear you like Large Marge... you literally are the 8th comment about this...LOL
AutoEdits lmbo nice!! 😂
Hope you dont mind if I build my jeep just like yours. Well a few things different but I'm planning on going fully cloaked. Eventually. Little by little. That's actually how I found your channel (researching metal cloak lifts). Awesome channel btw. Dont know why you dont have million subs. Here's a jeep wave from the east coast. 👋
Thanks so much for the kind words! Of course I want you to build your Jeep like this...LOL I'm sharing these things to help who I can... it gets expensive fast so watching someone else test stuff makes it a bit easier!
This just in: Crazy Jeep Driver Inappropriately Lifts Jeep and Cruelly Ties up Dog!
Now that that's out of the way, I am wondering if you know someone who has the Dynatrac brakes . I ended up getting the ProGrip setup and am curious how the Power Stop setup compares. Long story but I purchased the PS system and the national chain I went to couldn't install them right. So I ended up with Rebel installing the PGs.
Anyway, dig the new outro brother. Keep up the fantastic work.
Man that mustang looks good moving under her own power.
I AGREE! thanks!
Excellent video, especially jacking up your rig.where's the video on the effects of your first trip after you installed your metalcloak undercloak skid plates?
Thanks, here's the video you requested th-cam.com/video/jz6LRWB-Z9M/w-d-xo.html
Good to see ya Jason. Mustangs and Jeep are looking great! I’m due for brakes so I’ll def get them thru your store front. How do you think the z will do with 35’s?
Thanks so much! I was VERY happy with the Z36 pads and rotors all the way up to 38's and it was just icing on the cake when I went to the big brake kit.
Thanks for the reminder, Jesse. I need rotors and pads myself and would rather get them through Jason's storefront.
Hey brother your garage needs a make over love your video 👍
It's just messy from the last thrash on the Mustang.
If you want to hit Baja on the regular, switch to coilovers and bumps. I know peeps, upgrade.
It’s pretty bad you feel you have to explain why your dog is on a leash and ensure people she is ok so snowflakes don’t get offended. Lol.
Well, it’s the internet after all 🤣
@@AutoEditsWe all know you love that dog, You take very great care of him. We
love Pinto. lol
@@machelesteve Hell Yeah! Love Pinto! Happy k9 obviously loved.
Your jeep is so clean. Wish I didn’t live in the rust belt. What lav mic are you using? I’m looking for a good cheap setup for my install videos
Check with my buddy at Willomet Motor and Fab... he just bought a cheapish new one... mine is a 10 year old Senheiser... not ideal.
AutoEdits thanks man I’ll reach out to him
Are you gonna add the drop brackets from Metal cloak? (Just a tip) I got a old blanket my dog loves and had some memory foam pad from camping. Made him a dog bed for the garage.
Thanks for both of these suggestions... I am looking at a next level up for this thing!
I'm amazed you haven't broken anything serious in your rig after that trip. Is there an upgrade or a relocation kit for the reservoir?
No relocation kit... but I'm still looking around! Yes, the Jeep has done very well for me.
Hafa Adai, I’m From Guam, USA... I really been wanting to try the “Tool Box buddy” things on my Jeep as well. But they dont ship to Guam....
Was wondering if we can share addressees and be lucky enough for you to ship a couple stuff out for me to try.
Thank you, I Love watching your Channel. Especially for the Jeep stuff. I learned a lot from you 👍🏻
Hey man, love your Jeep and the videos! Quick question: did you ever have any emergency break issues before upgrading your breaks? Meaning the Jeep wouldn’t stay in place on an incline when at rest. Appreciate the assistance in advance!
Howdy! I adjusted it when I did the brake up grade a few years ago and it's been great. Adjust each side until it just barely drags and cal it good.
AutoEdits Thanks for the info!
Another great video!!!
Did you change your axle? If no, how is the stock axle holding up??
That is the stock D44 axle housing but I have chromoly axle shafts. With the big impacts, I have bent it slightly but nothing has broken yet.
Did you retorque the bolts on beadlock ring? Just curious, after all that high speed bombing through the desert, how much it affected the torque specs on the beadlocks.
I didn't check those after this trip... good suggestion. I checked them after the colorado trip and kind of take them for granted.
Hey man going through all your videos and loving it. I have a 2004 tj. I don't exactly love how short it is being a two door but all I could afford at the time. It has 145k and still runs like a champ but I was hoping you could give a me a few things that I should go ahead and do to keep it going as long as possible. The only thing its had is a lift and tires I believe but it dont feel like its running like you expect a jeep to...power wise. Any info would be appreciated thanks man.
Howdy and welcome to the channel! I'm not sure what engine your jeep has but a basic tune up and maintenance is key and if you have larger tires but stock gearing, it will feel sluggish. Get that dialed and you will have a solid base for future upgrades!
@@AutoEdits wow thanks I honestly didn't think I would get a response so thank you for that. I know you have your own stuff going on and I wish not to take up any of your time but with there being so many options and different ways to do it ..i really love how you set your jeep and friends up. So if you wouldn't mind and had an email I would be so grateful if I could send some pics and more info so you could tell me what to toss and maybe what to keep. If not I promise I understand. I've spent most the day ....its a snowy day in east Tennessee lol....watching your jeep videos. Awesome jeep btw I think I'm drooling a little
My email is in the profile but I'm not an expert on any of this and don't know much about the TJ platform. I would keep watching videos!!!
Invisible fence for pinto
🤔 maybe!
At 5:10, I saw you open the door and thought for sure you were going to hit the side of the garage. I cringed in anticipation.
I do the same on some videos!
I was one of the first to order those Bumpstops last year.. I ordered them literally on the release date and I just checked them... I live in quebec Canada and they are already cracked and I see the metal spring inside em.. I'm pretty bummed at finding this out this morning.. Like wtf I paid premium price to get em shipped here because its more expensive in qc, canada and I havent even done hard trails yet and they are broken.. going to have to call Metalcloaks service because this sucks man .. My 3.5 game changer is not even a year old and its rusting like wtf..
Do you have a list of the components you have on the undercarriage and wheels. Lift kit suspension, armour, ect.?
There’s an entire build playlist on this channel.
Any front axle upgrades planned?
Yes, just waiting for the funding!
AutoEdits what do you plan on upgrading? Im running exact set up as you also!
In the bumpstop install will you be doing a comparasson of the blown one to the new one?
You know me by now... of course!!!
I am really wondering how long before you need to truss or swap your axel for something heavier.
I'm overdue.
Jason: Other than the air intake, have you made any other modifications to your JK engine.
Nope, bone stock.
@AutoEdits what diff covers are those if you don't mind me asking?
MetalCloak
The rims you are running now, are they not available on Amazon anymore? Thank you.
I just looked and could only find the really expensive version www.amazon.com/Vision-Offroad-Manx-%D0%A1ustom-Wheel/dp/B07JZL2GTB/ref=sr_1_26?keywords=vision+manx&qid=1583200252&sr=8-26
Not sure why they don't offer this version right now.
@@AutoEdits thank you much appreciated
I'm indifferent with the outro.
Come here for the high quality vids. And, to feel better from watching other TH-camrs that don't clean parts before reassembling. You might be the only one.
I mostly clean stuff!
@@AutoEdits by far cleanest reassembling.
Thanks for the vids.
Do they have big break system for the JL ???
I don't think that has come out yet.
Hey Jason, uhhh when did you change the G2 diff covers? How do the metalcloak covers compare?
Ha! I changed them the night before leaving for Mexico with the bump stops. The combo of them being steel and the lube locker gaskets mean less chance of leaks after bashing them on rocks. Unfortunately the G2 were prone to that after some abuse. I’ll let you know how the MetalCloak do after some more advance trails.
That was supposed to be OEM not Williams
will the Power Stop z36 kit work if I'm using spacers on my wheels?
Yep.
Do you live in AZ? It looks beautiful there!
I’m in Southern California.
Jason just curious why you got rid of the spare tire swing bumper mount ?
I wanted easier access to the cargo area... kind of simple and lazy but it's been really nice to just open the sportgate and grab camera gear or whatever. That's it... the swing out was super strong and no other complaints at all.
Which do you enjoy owning more, the Jeep or the Ram ?
If my Jeep sounded like my truck and had a bed it would be perfect... hmm a V8 gladiator sounds like the ticket! Now how to afford one?!
@@AutoEdits Dennis Collins can hook you up with that 😉
@@AutoEdits That would be the ticket.
Or go with the diesel gladiator
@@JustNobodyButME It will have the power. But it's not going to sound like a V8. And that's half the fun of owning a Hemi. ;)
Hi Jason. What gears are you running in the Jeep's diffs? Thanks!
Howdy! I'm running 4.88 and it's absolutely perfect.
@@AutoEdits Thanks! I'm running 5.13 and sometimes wonder if 4.88 would have been a little bit better for me. I don't know if you can truly tell without actually doing both on your exact rig, though. Thanks again!
What caster angle are you running with that lift-driveshaft combo ?
I think it’s +3.5 caster but I’d have to dig up the last alignment paperwork for sure
Cool thanks ! I am going with the 2.5 MC
Gamechanger and Woods 1350 in front. I would like my caster a little higher, but your rig seems to handle fine. I wish you would have discussed the caster/pinion angle compromise more in those installs. You are awesome and my go to for solid info. Thanks again !

@@AutoEdits Thanks man!
There’s only 8 of us that like the Mustang? No way they must be shy or something 😀
Well, I'm glad you're here and I'm certain you will like the test drive video!
AutoEdits I actually found your channel years ago because of your IROC video when you were tearing around the canyons. Been a fan ever since.
@@ConemantheBarbarian Thats funny because I found Jason's Channel because of his car reviews. I wanna say I sub'd shortly after he did the video about fitting the viper motor in the Maverick.
Sorry to ask as I know there is a video on this (I watched it long ago) what spring kit did u go with and are they multi-rate springs? My cheap procomp4" kit is pounding my jku to pieces
MetalCloak 3.5 game changer kit.
@@AutoEdits awesome thank you! Keep up the great videos you explain things perfectly and love pinto!!
Invisible fence
I think she hates the UPS guy enough that she'll take the shock to get him. LOL
cant you just put a fence? I want pinto to feel free ;-;
She has a huge backyard to play in so when I want her to run like a crazy do she goes back there!
@@AutoEdits thats sweet :), btw im getting my wrangler this months, i already have like 10k worth of upgrades lying in my garage LOL
I'd love for one of y'all TH-camrs that swear by Patagonias to come out to the East coast, especially the NE and take 'em for a spin....it'll change your whole perception on those tires. They just don't agree with the terrain here. There's at least a dozen sets 4 sale in the Marketplace on FB within 40 miles of me. All with less than 5k miles and nobody can get a buyer because word has already gotten out that they don't do well here. Weird. Watch...now that I've made mention of it you'll notice that everyone that raves about them are based out west & all the Jeep content on TH-cam based on the East Coast, I'll be damned if you spot anyone running Patagonias.
I am west coast based and can only comment on my experience with them. There’s always a local favorite tire for certain types of terrain.
I’m on the east coast. Which tires do people run over here? I’m still on stock BFGs.
I don’t think you can ever go wrong with a new set of KM3 ‘s from BFGoodrich! And they’re one of the best looking tires ever.
@@chuckisbusy Goodyear Wrangler MTs or Cooper STT
I wish my dog was a “car” dog:(
I got lucky with this one... I wish Pinto the Dog liked to cuddle more but she likes to be left alone sometimes and it makes me crazy. Wont even come up on the couch to watch tv with me!
AutoEdits as soon as my pupper sees the car, starts shaking. Its so sad. But i guess i got lucky also, mine loves cuddles haha
Get a Gladiator. We have seen enough of that old JK.
You're going to need to order A LOT of crap off my Amazon store for me to be able to afford a V8 Gladiator.
AutoEdits you are rich, you can easily buy a used one.
