I'd pick up some moving blankets and throw them down in your garage when you work, you'll stay a lot cleaner and you wan't scratch up parts when you lay them on the ground. The lift looks great!
Thanks for the tip!
I know you guys live in a better winter climate but for those in places with snowy winters I’d recommend getting a bar pin eliminator kit for the rear upper shock mounts. Never have to worry about those top bolts breaking after that. Does help to have an arbor press to get the pins out that normally straddle those upper bolts.
Great install!
Thanks for the tip! Yes we get 0 snow where we live. It's usually never an issue for us and luckily this keep was no different. Cheers
Jeepn is lookking sweet! Ignore the haters!
Great two episodes. Can’t wait for next.👍
Thank you!!
When she said to look at that clearance, I was more worried about the clearance of the garage door. Just a set of tires away from not fitting. 😂 Great job guys.
Haha! This is true! Can't wait to get our 35s on!
Good job
Thanks!
good job !!! 😎🤘
Rock on!
5:00 rustiest control arm you have ever seen?! My man you have no idea how good you have it down there… come to NY… we will show you the true power of steel oxidation!
Hahahah wow
Hello from Spokane WA.
Top of the afternoon!
Howdy from Vancouver WA
Howdy!!
Let’s install a compressor and lockbox or something similar lockahs
Sounds good!
I love your show!
I was just wondering if there is any benefit of a 3.5 inch lift over the traditional 4”?
My LJ currently only has a 2”.
Just user preference. Depending on the armor and mods the jeep has you may want a 4 inch so it settles in lower. Our Rubicon 4 inch kit turned out to be 4.5+ lol
Our short arm kit has way more droop than most 4" kits out there, so it allows a slightly lower center of gravity with amazing articulation. We typically don't recommend short arms for anything above 3.5" on a TJ as the control arm angles become steep and ride quality drops off fast. For 4"+ lifts, we recommend going with a long-arm kit on a TJ with it's shorter wheelbase.
@@Garagecouplekeep doing what you do. I love it!
Safety glasses Greg!
They get so annoying! You're totally right though
Are the springs suppose to bow like that? I have the same lift on my JK 2 door and mine bow out like that as well. I took it back to the company that installed it and said that is perfectly normal.
Yes it's totally normal!
Do not go offroading until those lower shock bracket bolts are flipped outward, towards the tires. You got the actual shock bolts right; but, the bracket bolts are wrong. The bolts will snag on rocks and could damage those lower shock brackets. Always point the heads of those bolts towards the pumpkin and the nut side of the bolts towards the tires. The tires help protect the outward side; but, there's nothing to protect the pumpkin side. This is a common mistake and is usually rejected in group rides, like a Jeep Jamboree, etc. I've done it myself and that's how I know. Luckily, it's a quick fix and can actually be flipped around without even so much as jacking the vehicle.
Always fascinating learning from our viewers. We didn't even think of that.! Cheers!
Love when you say we all the time when she stands there and does nothing
You're clearly a single person haha
@@Garagecouple nope your clearly wrong.
Then you would know it's *we* hehe
@@Garagecouple 🤔 no when I say we my significant other gets dirty as well. But just a point observation maybe she should do more then hold the phone
Recording is just as important as working on the jeep! No one likes dirty camera equipment! If you and you S.o. made youtube videos you may rethink things.. off camera we both throw down lol.
Those rear upper shock bolts give me nightmares haha! Its unfortunate because the rest of a lift install on a jeep is so straightforward - if any other bolts break, they are easy to replace.
Can also tell you are in the south - if that waa the rustiest control arm you've ever seen, haha!
Lol! It's crazy how rusty these parts get! This jeep only spent 4 years of its life in Chicago- the rest being in Southern California. Hope you have a great dat!
better look at centering your axles underneath the body before you go to bigger tires and rims, back axle looks alittle to far forward to me
Thanks for the info
If you are going to run 35s you will need to regear. You probably have 3:73 gears now. I would recommend at least 4:88. Just my suggestion.
You absolutely don't need to regear for 35s with a 4.0 6 speed manual. You realize we've done this quite a few times.. only vehicle we had to regear was the auto JKU on 37s. If it was an auto LJ we would have to regear.
Don’t have to but most would be happier if they did. Will feel sluggish compared to factory, cause more strain on trans, and not crawl the way it should if you leave gearing. One thing that should absolutely be done is brakes. Black magic pads and rotors at the least. Big brake kit recommended. And steering if your off-roading
Crawl...Lol
Fireworks is all this LJ may ever see.😂
It has the 4 wheel disc brakes, but agree. We did the powerstop pads and rotors on our 2005 Rubicon with 38s and we love the way those have performed.
Personally think black Magis pads are junk. Wouldn't recommend them to an enemy
Would love to see a video on braking capabilities of those power stops on 38s.
We can agree to disagree on black magic brakes. Properly broken in BMB pads and rotors cannot be beat. I put my jeep in some really sketchy situations and wouldn’t trust any other company with my brakes…
Where are your safety glasses
In the trash unfortunately
