I love all jeeps. I love all 4x4s just love content. Miss Dirt every day.

Hey Fred, so the argument about what gear oil to use comes from the differences between GL-4 and GL-5 grade oils. Apparently the GL-5 which is what almost all gear lube is rated at now, is corrosive to the old brass synchros in the older transmission/t-cases. Apparently since GL-5 sticks to the gears better it can strip the outer coating leading to faster synchro wear. So, many people recommend getting GL-4 since it doesn't have those same corrosive properties. I do know NAPA auto parts usually carries it. However for 99% of people it probably does not matter what gear lube you use as these old jeeps usually aren't driven tens of thousands of miles a year.

The manual from that era probably calls for whale oil or something. 😂 I agree with you, any sort of oil is better than the rusty water that you removed.

I like the end. New seat covers with no dog hair. Time to fix that right away.

Fred I like your style as you explain what your doing. So many other how to video explain it once. You explain it more then once in detail. Thank you!

Helpful hint. Put the seat covers in the dryer, for just a few minutes. Same trick I use for recovering chairs with "pleather".

I like the Orange Rims on your Flat Fender Jeep

Love it Fred

Thanks for the motivation to get out and work on my jeeps.

Those seat covers look like they fit really well. So many will slide around on you.

Those seats are wicked nice! Gonna get some for our Jeep! Great heads-up!!!

Looks great Fred!! I see you chose your favorite colors 👍🏻👍🏻

Man those seat covers are really gonna stand out in a Black & White Jeep.

You are just cranking out awesome videos, such a treat! Also, please keep up the JL videos 😁 I love the old Jeeps, but like you said, there are a lot of JL drivers who are using these videos to work on their own rigs (such as myself)

You can't go wrong with a Jeep!

I wish bestop would make a white or hounds tooth color. black gets really hot in the desert.

I am so pleased to find your channel! I immdeiately subscribed. I became a big fan watching "Dirt Every Day" on Motortrend. Keep 'em coming! Your posts are informative and entertaining.. Thanks!

Fred, love the flat fender! You might let the viewers know that both ATF and acetone are very flammable.

Another fine video!!!!

Additives in GL5 gear oil will break down the soft metals in the trans/transfer case. GL4 that is not also rated for GL5 is probably the best to run. I run NAPA GL-1 90w in my '59 CJ5, since my local NAPA carries it.

Some modern gear lubes may have a corrosive effect on yellow metals. GL 1 is pretty much guaranteed safe, Stay Lube products generally also ok. Probably worth playing safe with a fresh rebuild. This Jeep, not so much.

GL-1 Mineral oil was first used (still available) through GL-4. These are most recommended.

More Flat Fender videos! Just order a new tank. Save time and effort with a new tank.

Love the zoom on Batman 😂

Love this idea for my jt

The doggos loved it.

I had a 97 TJ I put Smitty built Seat cover's on it looked good for what it was.

That was fun thanks

I put that ATF/acetone into a spray bottle like your WD bottle. Works amazing

i like all the Jeep content, just not into foreign stuff, im born and raised in Detroit so it matters to me

Glad PRP fixed it, but that seems like a really simple thing to mess up.

You should've just taken it to Rick Pewe's house and have Freiburger help out with the flat fender.

Batman is ready!!

Batman!!!😊

Here's a fact for you Fred. Did you know the military had trailer axles that ran off the jeep's PTO?

Tube sock !!!!!! i need me some tube sock !!!!!

Fred - you now have me wondering if your ATF/Acetone mix is the same as Marvel Mystery Oil. I use that stuff and it has never failed me.

You might want to double-check the direction of the seat airbags. I think you may have had it correct the first time. I think they pop towards the outside. I haven't seen any that pop toward the inside. Though I'm not a jeep owner. If the cover is on backwards, that could be bad in a crash. Just a heads up.

Flat fender flat fender flat fender!!!!!

I wish I was an old jeep so Fred could tighten my lug nuts. ❤😂

If it aint leakin it's empty!

Where did Newbsock come from?

The most real guy of many so called real guys in the not real vidland, really....

Interesting colour choice for the seat covers, though I am just really not impressed with the fit or finish. Had the PRP ones. Ended up returning. Quality was just not there. I have the carharrtt ones, and they are a far better fit and finish, and incredibly durable.

Later jeep man

The Jeep is 80 years old. Put any damn oil you want in it. Don’t overthink it.

Hey, Fred send me a jeep, no old ones in Fla

Wow those are some ugly seat covers, Fred. But they fit a million times better than the Bestop ones did.

Dog tested!
