Winter's Embrace | DJI Mini 3 Pro & BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera
I decided to compile a video using some clips I had previously recorded on some of my winter adventures. For the drone shots, I used the DJI Mini 3 Pro. For the handheld shots, I used the BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera (original) with a vintage Angenieux 12-120mm lens. I processed everything through Davinci Resolve using FilmConvert Nitrate.

    Pulsing lighting on a cold start could indicate that the Jeep has a bad ground somewhere. That's the first thing I did on my TJ. Checked all the grounds and changed out the stock main harness for a thicker gauge harness (positive and ground wires) My TJ 4.0 2001 has 204.000 km on it and I daily drive it for over 8 years now. Never had any issues with it, only regular maintenance.

      Yeah I've been looking at beefing up some of the wiring and removing some of the mystery crap from the previous owner. I was actually doing some of this yesterday and in the process I realized my battery is basically on its last legs as the static voltage was under 12vdc. I'll replace that in the next week or two and continue checking wiring.

    Thanks for the video. I just redid the heater core on my 2004 this last weekend and your video was one of the ones I checked out prior for some tips. Generally, it's not a fun job, but it's not as bad as some of the other videos make it out to be. For me, the worst part was the lower stud on the firewall side right behind the engine. On the 4.0L six there isn't much room between the engine and the stud to access, and that stud started spinning in the plastic on the other side. Overall I was about 5-1/2 hrs total and that was probably 45 minutes of it! While I had it out I decided to do the heater blower and resistor for the ~$100 in parts. I know those can be done while in the Jeep, but I figured the resistor had already started to fail (I was down to the two highest speeds) and it was easier to change the blower when out. Thanks again for your time in putting this together. Mark

      No problem. I usually don't do "mechanic" type videos as I typically take shortcuts and don't do things how a professional would do them, but figured I would just document some of my observations on this particular work. It sucks, but overall it wasn't very difficult. I think my biggest annoyance was actually that I had to do this outside in the cold.

    That looks great! I didn't want much of a lift and was comfortable with my 31' tires. My 04 Rubicon still had the oem coils and shocks and they were shot. I added some blisten 5100 and H&R coils springs. It lift the jeep about 1'. I really like the ride but like yours it is stiff

    • @PaulGoesPlaces
      @PaulGoesPlaces 2 місяці тому

      Yeah I don't mind the stiffer ride of the RC. I still have to street this vehicle daily and with all the weight on my roof from the tent, I really didn't want to feel like a bobble-head whenever I was on the brakes or accelerating. For the time being, my needs didn't require anything high end.

  • @EricandAmyRhoads
    @EricandAmyRhoads 2 місяці тому

    Thanks for the video and your insights on Jeep TJ ownership! I have a 2004 Rubicon with 175,000 miles (280,000 km) on it, and I really enjoy the 5-speed transmission. I had to replace the clutch at 130,000 miles (220,000 km), but I'm not sure how much that affects the driving feel. I haven't experienced the gear shifting feeling like driving a big truck in gears 1-3. I'm curious about the 6-speed version and how they split the gears. If they added more low-end gearing, that might explain the difference. I've never driven the 6-speed, though. On a road trip from Utah to California, we used a roof rack basket on a 2021 Kia Seltos, and it dropped the gas mileage from about 35 mpg (55 km/l) to 19 mpg (30 km/l). Have you tracked how much the roof top tent affects your gas mileage? Also, do you do anything special to prevent rust?

    • @PaulGoesPlaces
      @PaulGoesPlaces 2 місяці тому

      I do like having the 6 speed but mine is worn out and I have to be pretty careful about my 1-2 and 2-3 shifts, which does slow down my acceleration. Not really a big deal but in traffic it becomes pretty tedious because everyone else accelerates faster than I do unless I'm laying on the throttle. As for gas mileage, I don't even want to know. I'm used to driving small imports so a stock Jeep was still quite a hit to my wallet haha. As for rust, luckily that isn't really a big problem in my area. Just for fun though I did cover as much of the frame as I could with POR15 both on the outside and the inside. I did also drill extra drain holes in the frame after watching some recommendations on this. I also try to make an effort to blast out the frame with a pressure washer if I get mud in it.

      If you're already getting the dash torn apart, it probably does make sense to also do the heater core.

I have been using studded winter tires for 2 winters and they have been excellent. This winter I started running a snow plow on the Jeep and it has done a great job.

      I just put General Grabber ATX 33x12.50x15 tires on yesterday as my summer wheels and I'm curious to see how much it impacts my gas mileage haha

    I had 3 jeep TJs, all bought new. A 2001 4cyl, 2003 6cyl, 2005 4cylDOHC and they were all awesome daily drivers. They were super easy to do the basic maintenance on, pretty much a one could change the oil, brakes, etc. The 2005 was my favorite. That DOHC Reay gave that 4cyl some pep. Power wise, it was right in the middle of the old 4cyl and the 6cyl. It definitely had better l/100km than the other 2. If you can find one, I highly recommend it.

    • @PaulGoesPlaces
      @PaulGoesPlaces 9 місяців тому

      I'd be curious to drive the 4 cylinder around the same places I like going and see the difference in power and fuel mileage. I do really like the 6 cylinder though but I might have to get a second job to afford all the gas.

      @@PaulGoesPlaces hahahaha that's for sure, the 6cyl sure likes eating gas. But that 01 4cyl was the worst though. I used to live in Calgary and with a head wind, I'd barely be able to hit 100 heading up to the mountains lol

      Yeah I drive frequently on the Coquihalla area and if there's wind, I'm barely keeping the speed limit up some of those mountain passes. I'm OK with going slow but sure costs a lot still haha.

    So, my 2006 TJ Sport, Manual 6 speed... (Had it since new), has been extremely reliable...I've had brake calipers seize and had to replace a starter...that's it! (Oh...and I've had to replace the blower resister a few times, which is a very common part requiring replacement, every few years!) I do get a very occasional "Check Engine" light, which seems to be pointing to an O2 sensor on the exhaust...I've got a replacement sensor, sitting on a shelf, ready to be swapped in, when it's required... I've got about 130,000 km on my '06, and shifting, is still as smooth as butter...A lot of people are pretty rough on standard transmissions, and maybe your Jeep's previous owner was as well... With respect to 'Winter Driving', IMO winter tires are very important...Quebec is the only province that legally requires their installation, but they're a good idea, regardless of the amount of snow on the roads, because the rubber used is softer, making them more pliable than 'All-Seasons'... I've been driving a Jeep since 1986, and it's very important to put the vehicle into '4-High' on any slippery conditions, including wet roads, (whenever there's a chance of pooling)...(It's not about getting stuck, but with the relatively light rear end of the Jeep, '2-High' will allow the rear of the vehicle to "fish-tail" and potentially spin or veer into the path of on-coming traffic, or into the ditch...(Best case)...In '4-High', judicious, (or occasionally aggressive) use of the accelerator, will immediately stop the swerve, and pull you in the desired direction...'4-High', will also help you to maintain control of the vehicle at high-way speeds, if it starts to hydro-plane... An added benefit of the Manual transmission, whilst in '4-High' is that you can aggressively gear down on slippery surfaces, particularly, on a down hill, heading for a Stop sign, and, (using the clutch and engine), the vehicle will brake all four wheels together, without swerving...You can continue to gear down, selecting first gear, just before the stop...Any attempt to achieve the same amount of deceleration, using wheel braking, will simply lead to a swerve or wheel lock, while continuing to slide... (Just be sure to go back into '2-High', as soon as you're back on dry surfaces, so that you don't damage the drive-train...)

      Yeah in BC they only require snow or M+S tires on certain highways. Having previously driven a vehicle with "all season" tires in my city and couldn't make it up a slippery hill a few times, I knew I wasn't going to mess around with bad tires.

      Your 02-sensor heater relay can cause a 02-sensor code, start there for eleven or twelve dollars to eliminate it as a problem is a cheap field expedient method of eliminating it as a problem. I always carry spare relays with me.

    I have a 2005 rubicon not mint but very clean. Drive it a couple times a week because it's only got 112 thousand on it, and want to keep them low. Had it 4 yrs. and other then replaced converters air and heat work great. Had cj's before but this one is a blast. 3 inch lift with 31 in bf Goodrich ko's. Knowing you can just turn off road and go where most pick up trucks and other 4 wheel drive rv's can't. Mine is an automatic.

      I hope to keep mine running for many years to come but my main focus with it is off-roading so it'll probably get a little banged up along the way. Frame is solid and I also did some rust prevention work to help it last.

    There is a weep hole in the muffler for moisture to drain out. I don't think the muffler is designed to be installed in line... it should be at the end of the flexible exhaust piping.

    With the rad and heater core both having issues back to back, I'd pressure test the rad cap, it could be over pressurizing the system and causing premature failures

    • @PaulGoesPlaces
      @PaulGoesPlaces 11 місяців тому

      I was thinking about that. The cap is actually new though too, it was one of the things I did when I first bought the Jeep and changed out the water pump and all the hoses. I wouldn't be surprised if stuff is just breaking from the abuse though.
