Man that's awesome 😂 I'm sure Derek doesn't mind. Maybe he will chime in and give you an even better quote to use 🤔

Good on you young man, goodluck In the trades!

That’s amazing. To top it off, when you graduate and walk up on stage, you should take a big sniff, look around at the faculty and say “It smells like Bengay and desperation”.

That’s awesome !! I’ve been saying “I’ll be dipped” for quite a while now because of Derek !! LOL

Congrats on your graduation!

🥲

I believe that’s called male toxicity these days.

Of the ones I frequently watch, as far as the kids go, this one and Sleeerdude are my favorites. I love seeing the kids getting involved and the how the dads encourage them.

He is an amazing Dad - couldn't agree more!

​@@BrodeyDoverosx if you look outside youll see people dont call it toxic at all. Dont listen to the news and the online fighting, it isnt the case for real life

Well said

Thanks 👍

Bentley is pretty cool.

Bentley idolizes his dad and that's good.

@@garysimonson9593 Asks his boys if they are having fun or askes if they see what they learn as interesting. They respond very positively which is very impressive.

There was one in the back of the jeep!

I was thinking the same thing. Reminded me of the conversations I had with my Dad about 45 years ago.

Best laugh out loud line of the month. If that's not true and he was just singing his dad, comedic gold. If it's true, just as funny.

@@PoniesNSunshine Yeah and it's old. So might be junk.

His smile when he said it😂

GREAT INFO!!!!

This fella is dead right. The straight 6 jeeps like 210 and the needle should stay just straight up and down when they’re cooling well.

Derek definitely needs to check out Quadratec. All the goodies

Even the jk's like the heat 212 is normal

I own an '06 (TJ) with the 4.0L and 6 speed. 3.73 Dana 44 axles (put in the electric lockers myself. People have offered me stupid money for it. I'd rather lose an arm.

If anything like friends who have been trying, it'll happen when you least expect it. One friend gave up entirely and within a year their lives got turned completely upside down - twins!

😂😂😂

Hell yeah 👍

lol, little grip will surpass them all one day!!!

Well crying in the mud help me understand how VGG rated a collaboration with LVG...a fella sure is blessed to have such bright little humans to have around.

Shows which one of his Sons is the most like him. :D

same here in the uk its nearly midnight but its a friday night ritual

Even warm wobble pops will do in a pinch. I forgot the ice for my beer, and am sitting here drinking 60 degree beer on a 45 degree day.

I hear ya. VGG, Bearded Mechanic, and S/T all put out new Vids on Friday.

@@Patrick_CooperOh well, after 4-5 it doesn’t matter anymore about whether they’re cool or not. Bottoms up.

As always Derek you and your family are just great it reminds me of me and my dad he was an electrician at Vandenburg and he would be gone 3 weeks at a time when he was home I followed him around fixing things with him had my own little tool box your boy Bentley reminds me being a little guy

My kids know I only scream at them when they’re holding a flashlight, and I don’t mean it 😂

Definitely the respect given is awesome. Teaching them to be great young men!

I work in maintenance at HQ

I slowed down the video @26:00..only numbers I can read are "869914"...?

Where the fire extinguisher? I think we used them all. Lmao!

@@Bill-lg6hsI work at a Jeep shop that sells Jasper engines. This is the way!

That old 258 is bulletproof!!

My pleasure

I had same jeep last summer for a woods rig it was pretty fun for a guy cheap and way more better then a side by side and alot cheaper

I feel the same way, he’s a smart young man and seems pretty intuitive on top of that.

I love the kindness, the teaching , respect… Please and thank you!! It’s a fantastic example of a family filled with love and dedication to each other!!👍

Nah

I hope you can find a suitable connection with your son through Lego, Meccano or even just pulling a lawnmower apart and putting it back together. I am the primary carer for my disabled brother and we have Great times together.

Square headlights are trash!

❤

My dad used to not do much with me because he didn't think I could do much with my disability. It took guys like Derek on the internet teaching me things so I can get in the shop and start doing it myself. There's always something you can do.

​@@Studio23Mediathats the spirit. Keep it up and you'll go further than you ever imagined. Sending you good vibes all the way from Ireland.

Totally agree!

😊

Always tell him how proud you are of him and tell him you love him often. My dad was 72 when he passed and I was 45. .I never remember my dad telling me he loved me. :(

It's not so much the headlights that jeepers hate. Well, yeah, it is a bit of it lol but it's mostly the suspension setup. The suspension is a lot lower from the factory. So it takes a lot more lift to get you where you want to be compared to the previous cj or the TJ/LJ that followed it.

@@nathanwoten6236Someone once told me that the ‘99 TJ was the first year Jeep got everything right. Have you ever heard that before?

I had an 04 TJ, and I can tell you it was the best I’ve had. What a unit.

​@@nathanwoten6236.. it aint the ride height. The suspension is covered wagon technology so getting to where you want to be isn't a big deal.. it's definitely the headlights...lol

​@@grinchlettenever head that.. but in my opinion the TJ is the last of the "good" jeeps.. love the V8 CJ's, but the 4.0 is damn near immortal

One on one time teaching and interacting will give the kid a serious advantage. The role of fathers is under-valued nowadays, but Derek's giving that boy the best kind of two-parent experience.

100% agreed! What a great role model he is.

Couldn't agree more. Our favorite episodes are the ones where the kids are involved in the work too.

And your cats too!

Much like the UK, only the imbeciles get on TV here in the US.....They make us all look bad..

Just remember, for every idiotic American you see in media, there are thousands that you never hear a peep from. Same goes vice versa… it’s why I get so frustrated with people on the US side of the pond disparaging you all; any of our grievances against your gov’t, or the silliness that makes its way over here through media, shouldn’t be directly reflected upon all of you. It’s quite saddening how reactionary and simple minded people are becoming, though a quick history lesson shows it’s a disturbing cycle we’re in. Best of luck over there; I’m sure people aren’t any less caustic than they can be over here!

As another Brit who also watches KZfaq videos - I agree with your comments 100%

Our government may be a disaster, but at least the country is nice!

I agree, Derek and his family are the real Americans, there are a few other very fine families in UTAH on similar paths that a man follows for the same reason,

Absolutely, the time spent he will never forget

Thanks for watching!

@@ViceGripGarage Thank you for responding. And we'll continue to watch and hope to do so for many years.

At 52:50 It’s idling really high, said almost at the same time. This little fella has the best teacher..

Tubed in from Ontario. 🇨🇦

Thanks so much!

Pretty funny comments for sure from Derek. Maybe someone should convince him to buy a Subaru next 😂

NO to the Subaru idea.YUCK!

These square headlight jeeps aren't a true jeep in My opinion. They still ok . But newer jeeps aren't near as cool or tough. Early 80 to mid 80s is where they went down hill. Not being a hater. The new ones are cool for looks. But toughness. Not so much

Its a great way to learn about cars

I appreciate that!

Period!

Even the cat is chill!

I thought the exact same thing, he is polite, gives advice and doesn't get mad at mistakes. Everyone should have a father like that. but unfortunately, most fathers are not like him...

I'm a CJ owner but still have a fondness for the YJs. Hell, even the TJs are good Jeeps. But I would never own anything beyond the TJ. The last of the newer model Jeeps will be carried to the boneyard behind a TJ.

I owned an 89 YJ for about 2 years before my family outgrew it and I had to sell it. But I fell in love with it. And I agree with you, the TJ is definitely the last of good Jeeps. And don't get me started on those 4 door things that call themselves a Jeep.

I’ve been waiting for a Jeep video. Even better that it’s a YJ.

I love the YJ's though I never have owned 1 yet - still looking! I wonder if ya can take a TJ running gear n mate it to a YJ body/Interior? That would be great!

Dad taught me curse words 😂

Jurassic Park

My buddy had one in high school in the mid 90s and he beat the snot out of that poor thing and it never left us stranded

All mine ran at 210. I got scared when I saw 215 and up

I was about to type this. All mine in those years range ran that same temp.

​@@JackOSUrulz ​ @jeremyspurlock6636 @brianwhitman5195; contrary to common, popular "belief", false ideas, views, incorrect, improper, invalid, misleading claims, 'information', disinformation, mal-information,, misconceptions the correct proper, optimum operating temperature for coolant, pressure system is 210-220 F/99-105 C 🙂 The automobile manufactures had set their thermostats very low within early designs; they used water only, then added pressure to increase boiling temperature; later coolant with higher boiling and lower freezing temperatures. gradually through extensive SAE testing, verification, the knowledge for optimum operating temperatures for maximum efficiency, minimal wear were measured to be consistent; gradually the manufactures increased the thermostat temperatures, operating temperature standards to match the established, known SAE data from 1972-4, especially with computer, ECM, ECU, control. My first auto-mechanics instructor showed and taught us the SAE measured data in 1975. Clearly the common people, masses still lack the proper, correct, valid information; any, every race car driver, mechanic, etc., within each team from basic dirt tracks, SPRINT cars, Micro, ARCA, Modified, Late Model, NASCAR, F1, Indy, FIA, IMSA, LeMans, etc. know with certainty their proper operating temperatures are within the proper range and higher yetf for improved performance. All The Best, Sincerely

That is correct 210 is also known in the scientific community as the Wrangler Temperature. Regardless a vented hood (louvers) is always a good addition to the TJs don’t know enough about the YJ

@@MarianoLu just to add to all this (I replied above yours a bit ago), I was thinking it had something to do with the small size of engine bay and the heat build up. At least, somewhere in the back of my mind I remember something to that effect. I’m 50 now, first Jeep was back in high school, a 1991 Wrangler. After that, I had many, as I alluded to in another post on this video. If I could have owned every single iteration of Jeep ever made, I would lol. Still love them after all these years, flaws and all.

Brings back memories. Dad, "You'll fit in there." Or " Your little hands will fit."

You can change that. He didn’t know what to do. You can change it if you want to. Which seems you do.

Poor kid is on his third "dad" at least

Why do you talk like a hillbilly from 40 years ago?

Oh, he'll be a home wrench at least! He gets it.

Counties can be big so there are several free radar apps you can download. Idk if there are sirens where your place is . Information is king. Be safe and look forward to the outcome of the Jeep !!
