I was thinking the same thing. The guy from Bestop did not attend too many oration or English classes...

Yes, the rear tow hook is gone. Instead we need to get some D rings that fit the new bumper for pulling.

I have a 2015 Rubicon 2 door that is my daily driver. Basic thing is you need to pick cargo carrying or people. With the back seat in, there is very little space. The seat folds but does not lock so when folded it flops around. When in place, the back seat is reasonably roomy, though getting back there is a bit of a challenge. The BFG MTs make some nose on the highway but it is completely manageable, especially with a hard top. I wish the gas tank were bigger though. I'm happy with the mileage (around 18 overall, mostly highway) and don't expect better from something like this but the tank size means I buy gas twice during the week commuting to work.

Exactly. The JKU is very practical, can carry 5 adults + cargo/dogs. With a 2dr JK, I'd get a hitch extender and put some items that can be exposed to the outside... outside. The 2dr JK's are more nimble, but at this stage of my life it's JKU for me. I love them all, though, and drive the JK Rubicon's from Barlowe's when out in Sedona AZ, and they are amazing offroad and onroad.

he was probably talking about the whinch capability, he's a noob lol

i think he said 80 TO 100 lbs.

I think he meant 820lbs

+Derek Denney Yeah he said 80 TO 100 pounds

He would not be able to pick it up not even with 10 guys! hehehe i think he meant 820 lbs and still just picking it up between him and the other guy its impossible.

If you can't afford the game, don't play!🙄

+XL1200C2004 it's not the affording part that's the problem, it's that it was better to me when it was the old 95 YJ and he was putting $50 light bars on and keeping the rig simple. If he keeps putting a bunch of tough heavy parts then it'll wind up being like every other jeep show, with an overbuilt JK.

+Cobb you'll notice he was just talking about "essential" equipment for solo off-roading. Sorry, $50 accessories won't cut it anymore.

Well yeah you need a winch and a bumper to mount it on, but there are options for $200-300 and obviously cheaper winches with the same rating. This show started as a budget off road show and I hope it stays in that direction. There's enough channels about full $20k builds for JKs.

That Winch is way overkill for a 2dr Sport. He'd have been more than fine with a $600 VR8. He's only using that expensive one because he got it for free from WARN.

Agreed, but he mentioned solo 4x4 outings, so he may need the winch to get himself unstuck.

They weren't getting the views so they stopped doing them.

+Okanaganfishing black

Satin or mate black ?

+Okanaganfishing same thing

80 to 100 lbs

Ah I see lol thanks I heard it the other way

I heard that too!

Always pays to be safe when winching ;-)

Oh and torque wrench for the wheel nuts - not the best of ideas using the stand-on-wrench technique.

Well, according to Mrs Roman he is, if you know what I mean⁉️😜😜😜

I was going to say- Breaker Bar + *6-point* deep-well socket is the best way to get the lugs mostly tight and loosened. Use a Torque Wrench for final tightening. After I get the lug nuts loosened, I use an electric drill-driver to buzz them off, then on again. Saves all that spinning with a wrench or fingers. ;)

Umm, been doing that since HS, and haven't had a wheel fall off. However, I have experienced extremely loose lug nuts after visiting a national tire store. Tire stores, btw, don't use torque wrenches, they use air ratchets. And overtorque all the time. Everyone's a critic...

The old video series of affordable off-road had run its course. We have pivoted now to more of a focus on ghost town adventures!

Ran its corse ? You seemed to just have switched suddenly from a yj to a brand new jk. If you wanna hit a bunch of ghost towns that's fine but I think u should bring back the old yj. I would guess if it wasn't for your dad not many kids your age would be driving a jk. At the very least you should bring back your friends with there rigs to join you. You had a series that was relatable and affordable and suddenly switched to something that's not really affordable for the every day guy. Kinda disappointed this turned into something completely different from what it started as.
