When I was driving home from Arizona yesterday, I passed an orange mustang that had the license plate ORANGIE. And all I could think was, that's on the wrong vehicle. 🤣
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
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?
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.
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.
having done this activity a bunch of times, I kept wanting to reach in and help you do this! You did it nearly how I would have, and honestly, you didn't struggle much, so you obviously know what you're doing here. NJ sir.
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.
Good tips here thanks! Man I could not get the front stab link off!! The top nut was "fused" the the bar. I did get the 4 shocks, coil springs, steering stabilizer, rear stab links and rear lower control arms though!
Thanks for sharing Chris, nice job with the maintaining of your JK! That was hilarious washing your Jeep after you did the work. Last week I did the same thing, I’m still digging dirt and sand out of my eyes. 🤪 And thanks for sharing your tire size, I appreciate it!
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.
This is a cool way to change the springs I have seen others disconnect the swaybar and control arms. Which seems to be a bit more work . Curious if you can just support the frame and then use spring compressor
Well done Chris. I did my first suspension install before I had my UA-cam channel so I didn’t film it. But when it’s time to update it, i will do something similar to your video
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!
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 ! ☺️ 🙏
Chris, you made that look relatively painless as much fun as it is crawling around on the ground in gravel. Actually it's not much better on concrete when you have tired old bones like mine. Could someone help me up please?
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.
So, rewarding doing your own work.
Well done Chris. I know how much you love Orangie.
Looks great. New engine, new shocks and springs. She's ready to go.
Adventure is afoot.
Fixing up an old friend. It feels good on another whole level.
Congrats Chris! Great choice!!!
Thanks!!
Orangie says yessssss thank you Chris Back to the trail we go. Don’t forget Shannon

Bringing it back...
Great video Mr. Shontz
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

So nice to see Orangey in all its glory and ready for action !

An Iconic Jeep for sure! Great to see Orangie getting ready for adventure! Chris, you are an inspiration to us all! 😁
Some Jeeps can tell many more stories than others!

Great video. Love Orangey. I’m the opposite, I wash the undercarriage before I do suspension work to remove excess dried mud and sand.

Great to see some love for Orangey, good job Chris!
Cause of you, I want/need a Wrangler now by replacement of my Pajero :D Love u !
"FOUL LANGUAGE AND LUBRICATION " that was memorable coming from you Chris. 😅😂
Still a great looking Jeep 👍 Don’t forget to make sure everything is torqued to spec.
Good job! Solving each problem as they came up!😊

After 4-5 years, time for a new 4x4. Your tech abilities are most impressive, but I'm plain ole lazy and I like all shiny new.
Good tips here thanks! Man I could not get the front stab link off!! The top nut was "fused" the the bar. I did get the 4 shocks, coil springs, steering stabilizer, rear stab links and rear lower control arms though!

So satisfying watching your vids. Especially your how to vids on Orangy. She looks leveled. Great job Chris.
Jeep life!
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.
13:55 - Removing/installing the nut on the passenger side shock is a real PITA. Been there done that had to buy the wrench.
Remove the fuse box, then drill hole through plastic where the top of the shock is to gain access. Reinstall fuse box. Easy.
@@ddbrocato This may sound sarcastic but it isn’t.
Where was this info when I needed it last year.
Thank you. That is very helpful.
Totally satisfying doing work on your own rig
Nicely done Chris.👌
New love for an iconic Jeep.👍
Glamour shots look great.
Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
WoW, Great job Chris! I have Fox shocks on mine with a 2 1/2 lift on mine.Thank you for all your experience !!
Impact socket police are coming for you! lol great video though showed me what I needed to know thank you
This is a cool way to change the springs
I have seen others disconnect the swaybar and control arms.
Which seems to be a bit more work .
Curious if you can just support the frame and then use spring compressor
Nice!! Great glamour shots!
Hi Chris nice job on Orangey I am getting ready to do that on our sprinter van
I really enjoyed your video
That’s awesome I wish I knew how to do that myself 😮
Well done Chris. I did my first suspension install before I had my UA-cam channel so I didn’t film it.
But when it’s time to update it, i will do something similar to your video
I'm old enough to remember when people threw thier loose lugnuts in the upside down wheelcovers... those were the days!!
Thank you Brother, great video!
How do you like those shocks? It's time for me to replace mine and I have a 3.5" lift.
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!
Orangey - the legend.

Thank you David! Good luck with the projects (Shannon says hello!)
Very informative thanks
U make it look so easy
As others have said -
"U make it look so easy". You'll have to report back on how she rides out on the trail.
Great Video!
Orangey rides again!!
Why do i feel he's going to do an axle upgrade?
Chris, you made that look relatively painless as much fun as it is crawling around on the ground in gravel. Actually it's not much better on concrete when you have tired old bones like mine. Could someone help me up please?
😂
Great job man!
Yeah that was a nice little job. Should make it a ride a lot better now 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Perfect job for gloves
Dale mas amor a tu chasis!!! 😜 gracias por compartir!
“Lubrication and swearing gets the job done” 😂
Dish soap is a life saver. Exhaust hangers... think about it. 😉
Can I have the old shocks?
dont forget to grease ball joints and ujoints while you're down there!
Hey Chris, I wanted to contact you but the "Contact us" page on your website is just blank... How can I contact you?
It is on the roadmap to fix :)
What lens do you have on your camera?
I shave been switching between Panasonic LUMIX S Pro 24-70 and 70-200.
👍👍
Almost…No broken bolts and not much blood equals… any successful repair!👊
LMAO....lubrication and fowl language. My go-to method as well.
That looks significanly more painful on a JK
Lubrication and foul language always seems to help.
Truth! 😆
That Was Easy! Lol
Hello
