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

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 ! ☺️ 🙏

Remove the fuse box, then drill hole through plastic where the top of the shock is to gain access. Reinstall fuse box. Easy.
