YES --- Road trip uploads. The thing we all have in common is the wide selection of lousy
food at gas stations. It's always fun to see what food substitute you select at each fill-up.
Seeing under that hood makes me miss my cj7 changing spark plugs took about 15 minutes ,and 5 of those where on that one plug where the header is always in the way. ps I've been showing my niece your videos to inspire her and let her know that she can do anything she sets her mind to ,so thank you Holly for this video keep the inspiration flowing .and a short clip (just not a wire clip) everyday would be awesomeness.
Some don’t understand maintenance, some don’t do maintenance, some do too much maintenance, but it’s the most important one thing you can do to keep on the trail, a good schedule will save you money and breakdowns
So true. This goes for any piece of equipment you own.
Some people that never do prevent of maintenance..... "Matts off roadingm...." 😄
It does my heart and soul good to watch you work on anything Hollie, but especially your Jeep...I don't know why particularly and I don't care. Keep rockin' it, be safe and take care of yourself dear, for all of the good reasons. ;)
Holly, it's great to see a woman doing her own servicing and maintenance on her vehicle. One thing.... I have been doing my own servicing for many years on all of my vehicles and never disconnected the battery unless really needed, and don't forget, If you do that then you have to reset radios and all sorts of things. I'm glad my LandCruiser is old school and doesn't have any of that electronic stuff to worry about. There is nothing better than hands on learning, I taught myself most of it and other stuff I have resorted to manuals and UA-cam for info which these days is a great help. I love the collection of R/C planes on the wall.. do you both fly them or just Walter? I look forward to seeing your adventures.. For me a person that is in another country (Melbourne Australia) I would love to see bits n pieces of each day to see some of the countryside and what you get up to.. please.. thank you and safe driving.
I know many have said this before, but you should ALWAYS were eye protection. I worked in a variety of shops, and there was always welding and grinding and cleaning off rust and buildup grime. There was always milling machines, lathes, surface grinders, cut off departments, heat treat departments, carpentry dept, shipping dept, quality controls dept, you name it. I have had to go to an eye Dr three times I remember in almost 40 years. I also have had various fluids splash over my safety glasses dozens of times. I then had to flush my eye with eye wash. I guarantee you if you ever get a piece of metal shot into your eye by a grinder or other machine, you will ALWAYS wear eye protection from that point on.
Holli, two things to be aware of.
A small dab of anti-seize compound on the plug threads will keep the plug from seizing in place.
Whenever you remove one of the plastic intake manifolds, get the O-ring kits to seal the top to the bottom. A weak point on the manifolds is that they warp when they get hot and start leaking vacuum causing a lean condition on that cylinder.
One of the small claw tools can reach into the valve cover to remove that plug that refuses to stay in the plug socket. Torque to factory specifications, especially on aluminum heads. Good deal on the Tekton torque wrench. Store with the torque set to the lowest setting. (it keeps the springs from taking a set)
Keep the old O-rings for spares like the spark plugs. They take up little room and can make the difference between being stranded on the trail and getting back on your own power.
It's a spit beam torque wrench so this style don't need to be store at the lowest settings. But it's applicable for other micrometer style.
Good point. Yes, your better with new plugs. And yes, you had fun. That's why we do it.
Road trip! Of course we want to see the views, know where you trip through and such. Time lapse stuff is fun when it looks like you move faster than a jet.
OK Miss Holly,..... You have beautiful eyes, So you should have protected them while you were taking off your evac canister, Some of the dirt and gravel could have fallen right into your eyes but it wouldn't happen if you had safety glasses on....... It's great that you're doing preventive maintenance Like you said it's the little things that will break down that keep you stuck on the trail or side of a road.
I think you're doing the right thing my old man used to say you take care of your vehicle your vehicle take care of you good job can't wait to see your next video
WOW!!! It's been quite a few years since I've done much mechanical work. Back in the day I thought it was a pain changing plugs in my Road Runner with a 440 CI engine. That was a piece of cake compared to what you have to go through. I'm hoping that I can meet you and Walter when you are in Pigeon Forge for the Smoky Mountain Jeep invasion
Nothing wrong with changing your spark plugs. Good maintenance. I change mine every 35,000 miles.
🎼🎶ring my bellllllll…ring my bell 🛎 🎶 when you were working on canister. Yes,to snigbits of your travels. This way we can live Vicariously
Show and tell, Holly - show and tell! 👍👍
Hahahaha
Up close & personal with your vehicle is the best way to learning. As good mentor helps as well. Doing your own research maintainance is a good way to save money for needs or wants for the truck. Thanks for sharing.
Keep up the Encouragement of DIY. I like the feeling of getting it done!
Love the diy on general maintenance! I would also like to see a video on flying your RC plains!
WELL DONE, HOLLY!!!
Love to see daily snippets of your trek across the country!!
Hubby was always "the wrench" around our farm for 40 years...now 5 years a widow, I have taken on those responsibilities...(he would have never forgiven me if I had someone else work on any of our rigs!! LOL!!)
BOTTOM LINE--you're never too old to learn how to maintain your vehicle!!!
And you're correct Holly...take as MUCH TIME as you need to complete the task at hand! Gets easier every time!!
MUCH SATISFACTION gleaned when the work is done, you turn the key, it fires right up and you can say "Yeah... I DID THAT"....
Safe travels friend ❤️❤️
Stay FROSTY...
Keep your powder dry and your head on a swivel...
🇺🇸🇺🇸WWG1WGA🇺🇸🇺🇸NCSWIC🇺🇸🇺🇸
@Lopin' Sorry for your loss Dear, I agree with you wholeheartedly and if I might add one small bit... Don't wait to learn. So many men would feel wronged by having their wives want to turn a wrench; Same with the wife not wanting a man in her kitchen; I say get over it! Any job is more enjoyable with pleasant company, and how nice to be surprised with a job done that you were not looking forward to, weather that is changing the oil or cooking dinner, you never know when the knowledge will be useful. And, sadly, life is short. I truly did not mean to be disrespectful in any way and certainly not mean to disparage you at all. I wish you all the best on whatever trail life finds you. God Bless.
Good Morning from Fort Wayne, Indiana! You asked for our opinions on videos for trip. My suggestion would be for you to make a daily video journal. Just take few minute clips of everything you do each day. What the weather is like, eating places, people you meet, and locations. You will meet people that watch you, that will make impact on you. Interview them a little, and get their stories. Pass a little of yourself off to everyone you meet. Enjoy your adventure, while documenting every moment. God Bless, and have fun!
Thank you so much for that. I absolutely love this
@@MischiefMakerTV My mother wrote in her jurnal every day, and still does. My grandmother did as well. She past some years ago, but nice to look back on what she did, people she met, and stories. Just take all those little clips and make one longer daily video to share on your channel. My son is an Eagle Scout, and we thank you for what your doing with the giveaway. Our natural resources need to be preserved for our future generations. God Bless, and keep the dreams alive!
yeah I like when you post the little funny things when you and Walter are on the road
Pretty awesome seeing you get in there and taking care of those maintenance items. A person never learns if they never try. Well played, well played indeed!
Hollie - You could have gotten a evaporator relocation lit(or made it your self) and moved it to behind the fuel tank in front of the rear axle.
Do as many snippets as you like. Sure daily. Hollie don't turn this into a daily grind job that you hate. Keep it fun for you girl!
Daily videos will make me feel like I’m coming along on your epic adventures, while I sit at my desk working my life away! Haha 😂
Woowee! Awesome 👌 Hollie! Your eVap looked better than mine. I smashed mine and it came out in pieces. Got a new one and relocated it up higher and got a "skid" plate just for the eVap. No troubles hitting on anything since.
Reminds me of changing plugs in my 97 Dodge V-10. One side took 5 minutes the other an hour.
See you at Bantam Jeep Festival next week! I'll be there as a volunteer! If you want to see how well a JKU does with TrueTracs front and rear on 35s, look for a Copper Brown 2015 with matching Method Race Wheels and Dick Cepek tires.
See you out there!! 😁
get a pick kit, they are very useful to break the hose adhesion and for removing the connector clips and a trim pry makes short work og the Christmas tree clips
Once or twice weekly highlight reels would be cool because it gives you time to enjoy the trip while we still get to see the fun ensue! Holy kid in a candy store girl I would love to tour your shop. RC planes and scooters, what else is up your sleeve? Have fun and stay sanitary out there kid
I want to see it all within reason that is. Good for you doing your own maintenance and learning more about MM. It pays off in the long run when you can do it yourself.
Always ready for new videos. Keep them going. Travel clips, diy projects, maintenance on mischief maker.. keep them going
Love to watch all the east bound and down videos,
Nice work !
If you're not getting your hands dirty you're not having any fun ! 👍
Iridium plugs are good for at least 100K miles especially if you use good clean gas. With that much trouble to change plugs, and I'm shocked at what a pain that is, I'd wait till it really needs it. But to each their own, great informational how to video. There's a reason I prefer the older rigs, much easier to work on. Well done though.
Its that LS that Robby pulled out... You should pull out the battery and put it in a different room, you dont want to get cross contamination in the battery... Make sure to rotate the air in the tires
that sounds like a great idea showing everyday to what is import for you to share sun set to a sun rise if you wish can't wait to watch
What I have found, through Dyno runs and a lot of research is Bosch plugs on a Chrysler product, including the Jeep, they don't perform as well on plugs other than NGK or Champion sparkplugs. A friend of mine has done Dyno runs with an engine occilloscope and ECM monitoring computer wired into the engine to monitor everything in detail. We found higher incidences of misfires with certain plugs on certain makes of cars by brand. Even heat range can affect the overall performance of an engine, stock or modified.
yes
19:20 Walt ...LOL
I am surprised you didn't call it a bonnet. But I am glad to see you work on your jeep so more women get involved in 4wheelin. I enjoy your video's very much so keep them coming. Be safe and have fun and your next journey.
Thank you for watching I really appreciate it 🤟🏻
Nice use of mischief tissues to keep the wanderers out of the intake!
Holy hell, I didn't realize how crazy it was to change the plugs on a Jeep engine. Doable, but wow.... Props on pushing maintenance, even if it isn't something you love, its something that caries the people you do... take care of it.
I literally remove ever clip I can and replace them with nuts and bolts usually a nice smooth rounded Allen-head bolt replaces the plastic clips nicely and they look way better but some clips just can't be replaced and you gotta deal with them haha and as for gloves I never wore gloves because I can't feel anything but my wife recently got me nitrile gloves and honestly they are pretty good, still sometimes find myself working without them but not as often haha :)
Great video of your maintenance on Mischief Maker. Nice to see you getting your hands dirty. Like you said if you work on your own vehicle, you know your vehicle!.🤙😎
In my experience Bosch platinum plugs were problematic. They caused more issues than they ever solved. The only exception was specialty ones for VW and Audi. I never use them in anything. NGK and ND are quality brands. I never had issues with them. I usually used oem supplied plugs
I agree 100% with all you said.
We all hate the clips, fuel lines 😁 little tool or clip makes you mad then you calm down a moment and it slides right out!
I believe the gap on the pentastsr plugs should be about 48 thousandths a quick check to see if the plug is worn
I have you tubed everything from building a chicken coop and run to multiple auto repairs and maintenance and even appliance repairs. Love your videos!
Absolutely.
Right on you doing your own maintenance your hands are barely dirty as far as the videos go you post them all watch them
Just finished truss, gus, and sleeve on wj!!! Learning curve was a trip to a theme park, found my pace and actually got Zhen like, by the time I got to the ball joints I was having fun...
I love how the process comes full circle like that! I usually get all my frustration out working on the one side and then have a pretty pleasant experience when I start on the opposite side 🤣
Great videos started laughing when you disconnected the battery cable because you were moving it so carefully. i kept smiling till the video was over. I hope you know that your video;s are therapy keep up the good work
;
Yes Hollie every day
Yeah, I'm over doing it myself. I used to do it all the time! I went to change a water pump on a 98 Olds Bravada, it seems the passenger side gasket didn't play and unbeknownst to me,it bailed out. I found it when 7 hrs later I got the plugs changed. That was a very bad experience as well. So next stop auto shop to fix my screw ups!!!
Those Laser Irridium NGK is what i have in my jeep , they work great , luv them , expensive as all get out , but worth it .. see ya on the 9th Hollie cant wait to see you and Walt..
MOst people don't know what it takes to change plugs nice to see you do it
"security first" says lady screwing underneath the truck without glasses.
Yes everyday
Hey ya me lovely doing a nice job tuning up MM I see. Been doing that since i was a wee lad of 7 on up. Love the feeling of accomplishment I used to get from working on dads truck tractors and jeeps and well as both grandma and grandpa's vehicles
Great Job Hollie! 100% a little maintenance goes a long way.
The only thing I would do differently would be, put a strap around the carbon canister (vaperator box ) and check spark plug gaps for myself, great maintenance oil is also important, since your engine works harder and runs longer, and higher revs, love to have constant updates how the shows are going, your 4 wheeling, etc hope yous get to have a great time, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Yes show us your adventures driving
Hollie! That was a nice break from trailing to show how you maintain & keep Mischief Maker in shape for your fun out on the trails! It’s nice to show how things can get done! I liked when you showed your hands being all greasy we’re just like Dumbledore says it’s “a Phoenix ashes!” Same as you do for MM to live again out there on the trails!!
Keep up the wonderful content & looking forward to more of what’s in store!🤘😉💖🤟
Thank you Hollie for showing that women can and will take care of their vehicles. Thirty years ago I was able to do that. Now I have to pay for someone to do regular scheduled maintence. My 2003 Jeep Liberty is 4 years earlier than the local dealers want to deal with, but since Ive kept up w the maintence, they will service it! Ps, If I ever get the chance to go wheeling I would love to ride along w you. You are the most careful and have the most capeable vehicle Ive seen!
General maintenance (like chassis lubrication) is a good and necessary thing. If you want to ensure a long engine life, change your oil filter - often. I change my daily driver's filter every 1000 miles and the oil (synthetic) every 10K miles. Oil is your Jeep's life blood, keep it clean. Same with your engine's air filter - keep it clean. Cheap insurance vs an engine rebuild due to contaminants/dirt getting into your engine. Also something to consider for engine health/longevity would be a "catch" can or air/oil separator to help clean up your intake charge and intake system, in general.
Holly I hope you put the clips back in the charcoal canaster lines. You mentioned they were zip tied on and you cut them. They can pop off and throw a check engine light on you. I just couldn't see in the video if they were on there. The factory clips need to be pushed in on the sides then lifted at the same time to release them, kind of a pain but with the proper tool very easy to deal with. good luck with the road trip and wheeling adventures here on the east coast.
Good One, BTW I just checked your info, and saw you are coming to Bantam Jeepfest, So I'll see you there!!!!
South Main Auto channel is a great place to watch'n'learn Auto repair/maint. Eric and his family are cool too!
Love watching your channel.Great job doing your own maintenance. Only thing didn't see you check the gap on those new spark plugs. Other than that good job..
awesome job. prettiest face when under jeep. ❤❤❤😂😂😂😂
Holly My Lovely ;) (I had to say it LOL) After 45 years of wheeling, I know one thing for sure anytime (even if you have washed, pressure washed) you are touching anything under a Jeep, PLEASE Protect those beautiful eyes and wear eye protection! I've had so much junk in my eyes over the years, I could build a road with it all.
100% I was silly not to wear anything so guess what…. I’m away to buy me some 🤟🏻
I do the same one at a time even changing wires so u get every one in the right place
Love your Video's Hollie, and daily's of your trip would be Awesome
Plugs are a pain due to how brittle they get. I use a small pick to move the lock tabs and such with more finesse. I hope you did it but it’s an important step to put anti seize on you new spark plug threads. Just an fyi as is saw shiny threads on your spark plug you were putting it.
Awesome video Holly. I usually put antiseaze on the spark plug threads when replacing plugs. Seems to make life a little bit easier the next time! Just my 2¢!
They recommend changing spark plugs every 30,000 miles, so good job!
Wow, Maybe I need to change to 3x per year then! 😀👍🏻👍🏻
Every day adventures 👍🏻
Yes, wanna see it all please! Holy crap woman, I'm super impressed with yo tool skills!
Wow! I'm so glad I have the 3.8L v6 I don't have to take anything off my engine except the plug wire. It's a bit tight on some but you can go threw the wheel well to get them easier. Thanks Hollie for showing me how easy I have it with my mini van engine. 😁
Keep up the good work! Keep learning and applying knowledge. You can’t truly learn until you get your hands in there and get them dirty!
Hi Holly, it is nice to see some other things that you can share. I know you need some privacy too. Things like the work on the Jeep was good. It is nice to see a lady that will turn a wrench too.
I also prefer Bosch them and the NGK are both much better than what you had in.
If you can do snippets on the road that's always fun but if you can't do it, you can't do it!
Fun video today!
I'll watch every bit of content you feel like uploading! I hope your trip is epic!
Even if you break minor things on your own vehicle while working on it, it’ll be cheaper than paying labor at a shop by doing it yourself. Also, fluid film, for those of us in the rust belt anyways.
I am always looking for your videos so I will watch anytime you put one out.
PM is important, great job! Wow you still have your intake pillows in place!! I got ride of mine after my second plug change
Great job on doing your maintenance and rework on your other thing that you had to replace and yes we'd love to see on your trip
I've changed my evap because I crushed it wheeling. Easy job, stinks being on the back though. I don't know why people get up in arms about changing plugs early on the 3.6 JK, it's a piece of cake job, anyone could do it, so why not spend a couple bucks to keep performance up. You should have changed the plenum gaskets when you were in there though. Probably need a catch can too.
Maintenance for next trips.Very important for the legendary Mischief Maker.I'm waiting for your adventures trip. FC.Thai.
Great job you are ready to go and will have more fun when you don't have problems. It would be nice to see your tip to thanks for sharing love the Chanel
I need to see a video with those Rc planes flying, I love them.
Happy to see anything you guys do.. do your thing.. oh what about Walters crawler anything?
Your beauty shows thru when your working on your jeep you have a lot of pride in your jeep ok
Hollie - you are so incredible!
Hey holly, found your videos through Matt!! You guys have such amazing rigs! I was wondering if we could get a breakdown of your rig in the future (trying to get into rigging myself). I fell in love with ur setup when I saw jaymie driving your Jeep!!!
One last thing I was going to suggest but forgot 'til now, a little dielectric grease on the tips of sparkplugs or in opening of cap going to plug from coil will 1increase connectivity to plug and 2 make them easiet to put on and off
Great job. I my self have learn alot of youtube.. learning your machine is proceless...
do you put dielectric in boots? it helps keep out contaminants and makes the boots install easier and easier to remove
