So true. It’s hard sometimes to know what you do and don’t need. Everyone uses their vehicles different. I’ve been impressed with how capable a sport Jeep is from the factory. The way everyone talks you’d think this thing would break just going over a curb. In reality I haven’t needed a lot of the Mods I originally planned on doing. And it’s really handled itself well

@@pakcanhunter you probably didn’t see the previous videos in this series, I explained that there. It’s because I don’t have $20,000

@@1870offroad thanks for subscribing, your channel and content are great. I love the honesty

Thanks

@@SantosProd I use engine spray cleaner off the shelf. A soft brush and a couple rags to work the stubborn stuff. Low pressure water Next time I clean it I’ll film it

Thanks for the feedback. My Jeep is the only Jeep I’ve ever driven. So I don’t have another reference point. It really helps hearing how others jeeps drive too. (That’s partly why I’m doing these, I learn a lot from the feedback) When I first bought this Jeep there weren’t a lot of JLs riding around down here. There wasn’t even another one to test drive. My grandfather had a few CJs growing up but they were long gone by the time I was old enough to drive them. I’m not quite sure what I’m feeling in the Jeep. The steering was definitely worn out when I replaced it and that tightened everything back up but there’s something that feels off. It may be that steering box or just that I don’t drive it daily. When I took it back to the dealership they said there’s nothing wrong with it, they suggested it may be because I don’t drive it everyday and it takes a minute to get acclimated. Which may be true because after driving it for several days I don’t notice it anymore

My Jeep jk wonders a lot too, not sure why either. Thought it was my tires but I don’t think it is. It’s been in a couple accidents prior to me owning it so my worrie is the frame is tweaked I bit, hopefully not but yeah yours isn’t the only one that wonders.

@@Handee_Andy A little something you might consider. Especially if your Jeep is lifted, they like a little more caster to make them more stable. Adjustable lower control arms and start about 6 degrees and go from there until it stops wondering.

@@XXPS60 no lift all stock suspension at the moment

@@Handee_Andy thanks for the feedback. Another thing I hadn’t considered was my tires. Hope your chassis isn’t bent and you’re able to find a solution

@@thomasdalton7987 that sucks , them things ain’t no joke. This video was a year ago. I still got scars on my right calf and thigh Glad the little one was ok

Honda is great. new head, water pump, timing belt, power steering pump, catalytic converter, and Radiator. Seems to have fixed all the running hot issues. Hopefully it’ll run for several many more years now

@@1870offroad Yay!!! Dare I ask how much it cost? Surely not near as much as it would have.

@@maryhadalamb321 yeah all together it was a little over $2000

@@1870offroad Your schooling and education is very valuable.❤

Haha thanks, It don’t bother me at all. I played a lot of sports I can take a little trash talking. It truly is a peaceful ride

@@1870offroad 😂👍

Thanks for admiring the Jeep. The focus of the video was the beauty of the Cohutta Wilderness. But I agree it’s a good lookin Jeep

@@1870offroadbeautiful area man! Love all the mountain laurel!

Thank you. Good advice

I love the places I get to see because I have a Jeep

Sorry you couldn’t make it 2 minutes through the video. But thanks for the comment it still helps the KZfaq algorithm 😁

@@noahpresley thanks, I appreciate it. I live in Pike, so I’m in Thomaston quite often

@@jply87 thanks that’d be great. The next scheduled event that I’m aware of is jeep day at the fair but I’m sure we’ll be doing something before then

@@DaveSteele-t1s thanks for watching them. The Traverse is a great trail, it’s easy and full of amazing views.

@@user-vq9bt9vg7l thanks for the comment. Yes it is one of my favorite places to catch a sunset

Yeah a lot of people don’t know about that but i have heard about it. It hit the marsh and they never found it At AJs they sell Tybee bomb t shirts

That’s awesome. Happy belated birthday

@@1870offroad Why, thank you! And please.

Thanks for the comment. This is one of my favorites too

Yeah I couldn’t even point out the current flag Ga flag in a lineup

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching

I appreciate it. Thanks for watching

Nice, yeah not a difficult trail at all. I’m way overbuilt for it. But it is a nice Scenic getaway

Thank you, it’s a great movie

The filming location is Jonesboro Georgia. The entire movie is filmed in Georgia, most of the 1st half is around Jonesboro (McDonough, riverdale etc). The mountains and rivers from the later half are mostly in North Georgia (Helen, Buford, cumming, etc) The Racetrack and State Fair is the Lakewood speedway and Lakewood fairgrounds. Both are long gone but the Lakewood amphitheater is still there, and the Lakewood movie studios are still there

Thanks, it really is a great song

I’ve actually said that over a radio several times 😂

@@1870offroad I didn't realize how old that song is until I googled it yesterday 1969.

@@maryhadalamb321 I didn’t think it was made in the 60s. I figured at least 10 years later than that

Cool to know, I was young when the airport moved or merged in with Bear creek. I didn’t know it wasn’t called Tara field anymore. I can remember driving down towards Atlanta motor speedway and airplanes coming over you when you topped the hill. That should’ve been a sign to the residents of the area. Your government does you a favor and gets rid of the airport. Only to replace it with a prison. I’m sure the locals are happy now 😂. I went to A&P school in the old hanger that’s still on that property next to the courthouse

Sorry to hear that. My family was from around there but most of them moved away decades ago. It’s went down hill even in the 90s, it seems to have gotten worse since My dad grew up off of Valley hill rd. They had B&B sanitation and B&B campers around the time of the movie was filmed. My mom was off of turner rd. I wasn’t around yet when the movie was made. I remember watching as a little kid and everything mostly looked like it didn’t in the movie

Thanks, I never even thought about the trucker mount until I saw one in someone else’s jeep. I knew my next radio would be that way.

Not anymore, I lived there many years ago

Just not the same as having the doors off

Something like that would work too. The ones people showed me from best top look more like the yj half doors than the cj vinyl doors. I just want something thin enough that it fits in the back. Just enough protection for heavy rain storms that we get in the summer

😂

I mean let's be honest... Most of the original jeeps with the half doors and later vinyl doors used as beach cruisers and that primarily why they took the doors off... Nothing new. Other vehicles like Power wagons, k5s, broncos, s10s land Rovers, original land cruisers, GM C/K series trucks, Ford F series, and dodge d series trucks were the prime off roaders... I mean there a few of the Willie's army jeeps that got used for off roading but the majority of them were used as farm vehicles and tractors.. The original jeeps were terrible offroaders and flipped all the time! It was only in about the 90s that jeeps started to become capable off roaders... Hell VW bugs with some light modifications used to out perform them...

Thanks To the best of my knowledge they used 4 transams and they were all in bad shape by the time they finished filming

Thanks for the feedback. I’m hoping since making this I’ll see some better ideas and improve my mount.

The radio is fine, the molle panel is under the roof, when I have the top off I use a bestop bikini top. The antenna on the other hand, being magnetic. I would easily stick to the roll bar. But I may still relocate the antenna, this is a trial and error run

No never wrote them down, all I can say is it’s on the western side of the loop. North of mill creek overlook on the left

Thanks, it was an amazing experience. I thought I may never in my life see the northern lights, scratch that one off the list.

This was a couple years ago, I just googled what other people used and I did the same, I forget what fuse exactly I tapped but I’ll take a look and comment here later and let you know

I used f52 (cig lighter)

@@1870offroad Okay 😎👌🏿💯 thanks for the reply. Imma give it a try

It’s in a lot of my videos. It’s about 10 minutes down the road from my house. One of my earliest videos we rode over this bridge in early June
