Your series with a bone stock Jeep is outstanding! Please keep the content coming. It's great to see what a stock Jeep is capable of, and you don't need a lot of mods, or factory upgrades to have a great time. Never judge a Jeep by its lack of mods!
I did some mild off-road with a chrysler minivan . The biggest thing was to maintain momentum but I do see the potential for damage so definitely on a mild build or 2wd cars I would highly recommend the buddy system
This is a terrific series! I was very impressed with what Pippi can do in stock form. I don't think anybody else has done this, so this is pretty exciting to see.
I’m really impressed with what the stock Jeep is capable of. And that simple modification to obtain a sway bar disconnect minus the electrical is simply amazing.
@@wayalife man this goes to show that Skill and experience are very important. You can have the beeeest rig but if you don't have experience... you know the rest great vid
I took my wrangler rock crawling today for the first time in little Moab! it was a little scary but supper fun, I wish days like spent off roading never ended
I love watching your videos and seeing just how capable a bone stock sport jl is other then the new swaybar disconnect. You almost make some great video! Love watching them!
These videos on pippy are some of my favorites. It really goes to show you can have a really good time in a stock jeep with minimal modifications. This is what jeeping is all about.
Took me a while to find a used Rubicon sway bar that didn't cost $1000. I eventually got one for $200. I went with the air disconnect adapter. Costs a little more but 1 of my favorite mods.
Best to PIPI learned how easy is to really like that daring little thing, you got one the channels out there, and your dog, all very pleasing to watch, good work, we need to see more of your helping hand! Thank you!
Love this series with Pipi! I know we talk allot of trash about manual stalls, but stalling is just part of wheeling with a manual. With that said, the 8 speed auto in my '24 jl sport s has proven to be amazing both on and off road. My only performance mod (so far) had been my toyo open country at trail tires (255/80/17 or 33/10) which are worlds better than the Nexen rodian atx (245/75/17) which came stock. Planning on keeping "Dusty" as close to stock as possible. Love the challenge of near stock wheeling.
So cool to see you driving with Pipi. You give a realy good hope of the capabilities of a stock Wrangler. Here in France no insurance will cover you if you upgrad a Jeep. Personaly I will have an heart attack by touching the rocks has you done.
This is great with the stock Jeep performance for those rich/broke people who can afford one but don't have an upgrade budget. Please keep the content coming!
You have the patience of a saint. With all those stalls in this video and one of the last, I would be on my last nerve. Good videos and quality editing as always, thanks for posting this.
Honestly, a slightly bigger MT tire, ditch the stock bumpers, and maybe gut out the plastic fenders, and I don't think anyone would really need any more from their Wrangler. And that's a sweet sway bar disconnect. I love it! And I'd love to see you guys do a truly budget "every man" build. Especially if you stayed below 35" tires. That would be some quality content
Well, that's what we've been doing with this Jeep for the past year, keeping her as stock as possible. A few minor factoryish upgrades might be coming but that's about it :)
Superb Job, Jeeps are and we’re designed to take on obstacles on basic models and it’s wonderful to see content videos that show exactly that. JEEPer since 1998 with my 1981 CJ5 😎👍🏽
That was truly awesome to see what a bone stock Wrangler can do. This sold me on not getting anything more than 285/75/17s on my JL 2 dr 6MT Willys. At most buy some Rubi springs. Thank you for the video.
Last year I took a rental 4 door JK Sport on similar terrain in southern Utah for a 4-day trip. I was shocked at how well it performed, just like Pippy. I have built up Jeep at home, but this convinced me that many mods are more style than necessity.
Just goes to show you that it's not that you have a big, built-up jeep, but that you know how to drive it. I especially love that it has a manual transmission. Stalls are just part of life when driving a manual. Love mine, and your video gives me hope! 😄 Thank you!
Nice jeep brother. With my wife's input lol we went with the Bronco but I had a jeep when I was a young man and loved it but things are different now with more people wanting to go with us but anyway great video. Thanks for taking the time to show it's capabilities. Good times !
I'll be taking my bone stock 2 door '22 Willys out on the trails this sprint for the first time. Mine is a manual too. I'd love to see some interior video of your approach to rowing the gears over the rocks. Great stuff as always!
I wasn’t sure about that sway bar disconnected solution when I watched the install, but watching it in action was great! That’s a very cool and reasonably priced solution that really seems functional.
LOL - well, I'm glad we could show it being put to use. I've had others tell me that they've been able to find a used one for even less than what I paid too.
I know the point is to keep it as close to stock as you can, I don't think anyone would give you grief for putting traction tires on. Don't even need to change the size up, just a set of tires with some bite. It's still cool you take it all these places to show what it can do. Kudos!
LOL - not gonna lie, Cindy and I fully thought we'd be forced to change out her tires a long time ago. We're astounded that we haven't blown one yet. But to your point, it's been about a year since we got her and I think it might be time for a new set of shoes - if only for more traction.
Thanks for another great video. It is nice to see what a “stock” Jeep Wrangler can do. I watch videos of stock Jeeps on the trails and find out they are mostly Rubicons, not what I would consider stock lol. The driver does make a difference, I doubt I would have gotten up that wall lol. Thanks for posting! 👍
Really happy to hear you enjoyed our video. As far as Rubicons go, I have to agree with you that they're far from stock. Amazing rigs and I've owned 4 and still have 2 but right out of the box, they're way more built up and capable than any of my old Jeeps, even the ones I had that were built up.
@wayalife thanks for the awesome video. Honest real world off road test is what i was looking for, and i found it here! Enjoying this little series so far. 👍🏻👍🏻
@@wayalife don't forget.. you are a hell of a driver and offroader.. if i get one of these for the wife i doubt she can do what you can, i'll probably get her the automatic
What your doing with Pippi is awesome. I have a 21 Willys sport with a manual and I'm not planning on changing anything major. I've noticed electronics really interfere clutch engagement unless you turn off traction control and it's really annoying. Nice to see someone else stall for a change. 😄
AWESOME VIDEO! TRUE AWESOMENESS! Gives me hope that I can have fun jeeping with my ‘21 WILLYS because -as you show here and in your preceding video- there’s an affordable option for a sway bar disconnect. I’ve been pretty concerned about this issue because I can’t do an expensive option and everything I do to my WILLYS I have to do myself. So, from the wholeness of my heart, I thank y’all for this awesome video. As a side note, watching Pippy (hope I’m spelling the name correctly) crawl all over that earth was SOOOO FUN! Your white jeep handled the terrain with ease and grace and it’s an impressive, gorgeous jeep. For me though, I enjoyed watching Pippy master the landscape’s challenges more. I was riveted! Especially on that waterfall/rockfall! WOW WEE! The Rubicon sway bar disconnect you installed is amazing. Thank you for following up on your installation of the Rubicon sway bar disconnect to show us how it worked out when crawling around the earth over there in Nevada. Y’all are amazing.
You just demonstrated how capable a stockish wrangler can be with an experienced driver, especially with a manual transmission. As usual, another well made video👍
LOL - the all new 8-speed auto is awesome. In fact, it's what we have on our JLU and JT. Pippi is as bare bones as they get to try and make a point that you can still have fun without all the cool stuff.
LOL - Jeep really did wonders with their new traction control system. Not having a 4:1 transfer case is the PIA. If we had a Rubicon, she wouldn't have stalled as much. Of course, if I rode the clutch more, she wouldn't have stalled as much too but then, that would burn it out.
Awesome but really, this is far from Pippi's first run. Assuming you haven't seen it before, here's another one that we filmed a while back ua-cam.com/video/vQX6VERI5_0/v-deo.html
@@wayalife I guess i meant with the new swaybar installed. I was really curious how much help it would be on a stock sport set up and yeah there were some spots where you see the limits of that suspsension but I would of never trusted myself with a Willys to do what you did, but then again I don't have the years behind me as you do, impressive none the less. I've been wathcing you for a few years now and you are one of a few channels that really got me interested in the Jeep community. So for that I thank you.
@@tracktoysracing Ah, gotcha! So, to be clear, the sway bar disconnect simply makes the process of disconnecting faster and easier. It in and of itself doesn't actually improve performance. The act of disconnecting does 😎
@@wayalife gotcha, thanks for taking the time to talk and explaining everything. Interested in seeing what other budget items you'll be adding in the future.
I'm really enjoying your "Pippi" series! It does a fantastic job of showing just how capable our Jeep Wrangler's are in stock configuration, and that I don't have to wait until I put a lift and bigger tires on my 2012 JKU and 2018 JLU Sahara's to have some real fun wheeling them. From this video, it appears the Wranglers traction control system is doing a good job of navigating difficult terrain that you might expect to need a locking differentials for.
LOL - without question, a 4:1 transfer case would make a HUGE difference. But, the whole point of Pippi is to show that you don't "need" one to get out and have fun. Stressful times is how you learn to be better.
This is so awesome. One thing comes to mind - If everyone built their Jeep to basically traverse all obstacles with no effort, is it really the same amount of fun? Seems like some of the fun is in the challenge and the problem solving in the moment.
From a guy who has multiple built up Jeeps, I can tell you that you're absolutely right. In a lot of ways, this little Jeep is so much more fun to wheel.
I'm REALLY impressed with the all the obstacles that a stock Jeep can negotiate. I'm here with a 2.5" lift sitting on 35"s still doubting that my Jeep could go through obstacles like that. Great video! Especially for us beginers.
Hey, another great video. I’m still amazed in stock form how capable it is. I like the rubicon sway bar mod, good to know. One that really amazes me are those stock tires, and how well they hold up on the rocks. In my experience, even sharp gravel usually tears them up or pictures through the tread. Looking forward to more, Thanks for posting these up. Jeff
Glad to hear you enjoyed our video. As far as the tires go, I won't lie, we literally thought we were gonna destroy one a long time ago. Amazing how well they've held up but it might be time for some new shoes soon.
I think much of Pippi's awesomeness comes from the driver. Eddie. Could you do a how - to video on servicing the front hubs on one of your DANA 60 axles. I have Dynatrac axles, so of course I would rather see it done on Moby. Thanks, Jack
LOL - you're too kind but really, these new JL's with their traction control are pretty awesome. Regarding hub servicing, do you have the WARN or Dynaloc hubs? I just did mine last year but I'm sure it'll come up again.
Thank you. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video and so that it's clear, the disconnect simply made the process of disconnecting easier. It did NOT actually improve performance. 😎
That was awesome. Sold on the disconnect and hitch adapter. Impressive stuff here. Saw a “Wayalife”: Windshield banner on the Mississippi Gulf Coast this week end. just fyi. Your getting around. 👍👍😎🇺🇸
I have a Sport S and my only mods are Rubicon rock rails and some 33" tires. My tires are Yokohama Geolandar AT tires and while the tread isn't as aggressive as something like a set of BFGs, they do amazing on the trails we have in East TN. These beasts are so capable, even without lifts or massive, aggressive tires.
Gave me some anxiety watching you in that stock Jeep. Just goes to show if you have the skills, you can really take on some tough lines. I unfortunately do not have those skills. Nice job bro
@@wayalife The sad part is your doing that shit in a stock vehicle with a manual tranny and I’ve got the 392 Rubicon and wouldn’t try that. Mostly because I’m terrified of damaging a 100k Jeep hahahaha
@@wayalife Well, it helps of you have a shop and the know how but is poor county retired employees gotta pay someone to fix our damage, and it ain’t cheap. Lol
It's good to see that you did clear the obstacles and it was a manual; which I drive in my JLU Unlimited. I started with Jeeps with my new '75 CJ5 here in Arizona, 304 v8 with a three speed manual. At the time the 10.5" Tru Trac Rhinos were the deal. My suggestion for manuals with front sway bar disconnects and lockers, is carry just a very small amount of speed or "smash" as we used to say in the Air Force. This compensates for the reaction factor and inertial feedback through the drive train through the obstacle. This helps save your clutch, but you need to develop the feel for the particular obstacle; more is not necessarily better. Glad to see you adapted a manual transmission---theft protection device for millenials! Thanks! "Snydes"
I took a bone stock Willy’s sport gladiator to an off-road park. I got a lot of looks and got stuck in the mud pretty good but it was totally worth it and super fun. Don’t be afraid to be judged with your rig, just go have fun.
Great Jeeping and scenery! I like watching you switch things out, and it lets me know what I could do if the stock disconnect on my Rubi quits working. That knob is a way simpler method of unhooking. And less money. Very informative, thanks!
Hey guys. So glad you guys are back..your videos got me into jeeps and off roading.. Eddie you are the man..tackling that's stuff with street tires..I was cringing when the wheels was off the ground and you kinda hopped her..lol
Good video, have been “saving” for a red 2dr soft top sport. I wanna get the base model so I can modify as I please instead of paying for something I’m very rarely ever going to use or see. My 94 XJ likes to take my money at the moment. Hopefully one day I can make my dream come true.

Awesome! Thank you!
Thinking you have more fun with the stock Jeep
No gonna lie, it takes effort to find a challenge in a big Jeep. In something like this, everything is a challenge and fun can be found everywhere 😎
I know like nothing about off-roading, but it seems to me this guy has lots of experience and skill. Wow.
I am truly humbled that you would say as much, thank you.
Made me feel even better than I did before about my new two door Willy's sport.

When friends thinking of getting a Jeep ask “Manual or Automatic?” I’ll refer them to this video. Love the built vs not contrast.
LOL - there is a reason why ALL our other big and built up Jeeps are all automatics. They simply are better on the rocks.
I was wondering how an AUTO would have handled that ?????
@@woof3598 Zero engine stalls & restarts for one. But a manual Pippi with SB Disconnect is still pretty impressive.
Love it stalls and all on street tires in a stock as stock can be!
LOL - oh yeah, it don't get any more bone stock than this. And yet, it still gets the job done 👍
Extremely impressive! I'm not sure why anybody would want a stick for wheelin, they're such a pain!
Back in the day, that's the only way they came. It's what I grew up wheeling. That said, yes, an auto makes is a lot easier.

I think Pippi was just showing off 😜. Was amazed at the obstacles she could handle, although the manual trans looked like it could be a PIA.
LOL - Jeep really did wonders with their new traction control system. Not having a 4:1 transfer case is the PIA. If we had a Rubicon, she wouldn't have stalled as much. Of course, if I rode the clutch more, she wouldn't have stalled as much too but then, that would burn it out.
Stinger Bar add to list. gotcha. Great video and very impessive first run for Pippy.
Awesome but really, this is far from Pippi's first run. Assuming you haven't seen it before, here's another one that we filmed a while back ua-cam.com/video/vQX6VERI5_0/v-deo.html
@@wayalife I guess i meant with the new swaybar installed. I was really curious how much help it would be on a stock sport set up and yeah there were some spots where you see the limits of that suspsension but I would of never trusted myself with a Willys to do what you did, but then again I don't have the years behind me as you do, impressive none the less. I've been wathcing you for a few years now and you are one of a few channels that really got me interested in the Jeep community. So for that I thank you.
@@tracktoysracing Ah, gotcha! So, to be clear, the sway bar disconnect simply makes the process of disconnecting faster and easier. It in and of itself doesn't actually improve performance. The act of disconnecting does 😎
@@wayalife gotcha, thanks for taking the time to talk and explaining everything. Interested in seeing what other budget items you'll be adding in the future.
I'm really enjoying your "Pippi" series! It does a fantastic job of showing just how capable our Jeep Wrangler's are in stock configuration, and that I don't have to wait until I put a lift and bigger tires on my 2012 JKU and 2018 JLU Sahara's to have some real fun wheeling them. From this video, it appears the Wranglers traction control system is doing a good job of navigating difficult terrain that you might expect to need a locking differentials for.
Awesome! So happy to hear you're enjoying our Pippi Project! 😎
Nicely done, and I always love the Ripley shots !Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
I think that Jeep would be great with a 4to1 transfer case out of a rubicon. Would make for
a less stressful time with the clutch and love the video!
LOL - without question, a 4:1 transfer case would make a HUGE difference. But, the whole point of Pippi is to show that you don't "need" one to get out and have fun. Stressful times is how you learn to be better.
Nice to see what a stock Jeep can do with an experience driver.
Happy to hear you enjoyed seeing this 😎
This series made me subscribe! I love pippi’s adventures!
Awesome! Happy to hear you've been enjoying our Pippi Project and appreciate the sub 👍
Unbelievable! I have to get one of those disconnecting sway bars and Evo knobs for my JL!
Awesome! 👍
This is so awesome. One thing comes to mind - If everyone built their Jeep to basically traverse all obstacles with no effort, is it really the same amount of fun? Seems like some of the fun is in the challenge and the problem solving in the moment.
From a guy who has multiple built up Jeeps, I can tell you that you're absolutely right. In a lot of ways, this little Jeep is so much more fun to wheel.
Very impressive being bone stock.
I love manual shift for casual tooling around but so glad I went with the automatic when on trails though.
Cheers
LOL - oh yeah, an auto is superior on the rocks.
I'm REALLY impressed with the all the obstacles that a stock Jeep can negotiate. I'm here with a 2.5" lift sitting on 35"s still doubting that my Jeep could go through obstacles like that. Great video! Especially for us beginers.
Happy to hear we can share a video like this with you and that you can appreciate it for what it is. 😎
Great driving! So cool that you're getting over those obstacles on highway tread street tires!
LOL - thank you. I won't lie, I had my doubts and was pleasantly surprised by them.
Thanks, I enjoy seeing the stock vehicles out on the trails for comparison.
Awesome! Glad we could share this with you 😎
Hey, another great video. I’m still amazed in stock form how capable it is. I like the rubicon sway bar mod, good to know. One that really amazes me are those stock tires, and how well they hold up on the rocks. In my experience, even sharp gravel usually tears them up or pictures through the tread.
Looking forward to more, Thanks for posting these up. Jeff
Glad to hear you enjoyed our video. As far as the tires go, I won't lie, we literally thought we were gonna destroy one a long time ago. Amazing how well they've held up but it might be time for some new shoes soon.
I think much of Pippi's awesomeness comes from the driver. Eddie. Could you do a how - to video on servicing the front hubs on one of your DANA 60 axles. I have Dynatrac axles, so of course I would rather see it done on Moby. Thanks, Jack
LOL - you're too kind but really, these new JL's with their traction control are pretty awesome. Regarding hub servicing, do you have the WARN or Dynaloc hubs? I just did mine last year but I'm sure it'll come up again.
Another great video. Amazing how the base Wrangler has done so well off-road, especially with that disconnect.
Thank you. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video and so that it's clear, the disconnect simply made the process of disconnecting easier. It did NOT actually improve performance. 😎
Great video. Love how you show you can wheel pretty stock. Thank you for confirming I made the right decision getting an automatic. 😄
LOL - without question, an automatic is better on the rocks.
That was awesome. Sold on the disconnect and hitch adapter. Impressive stuff here. Saw a “Wayalife”: Windshield banner on the Mississippi Gulf Coast this week end. just fyi. Your getting around. 👍👍😎🇺🇸
That is awesome! Glad to hear it and thank you 😎
I have a Sport S and my only mods are Rubicon rock rails and some 33" tires. My tires are Yokohama Geolandar AT tires and while the tread isn't as aggressive as something like a set of BFGs, they do amazing on the trails we have in East TN. These beasts are so capable, even without lifts or massive, aggressive tires.
Nice! Glad to hear you're liking your tires.
Haven’t even finished the video and I’m like YEET ! Already love it
LOL - glad to hear it. 😁
Amazing how well that car did on stock tyres!
Not gonna lie, I am kind of amazed too. I fully expected to have at least one blow out.
@@wayalife must have been your skilled driving :)
Gave me some anxiety watching you in that stock Jeep. Just goes to show if you have the skills, you can really take on some tough lines. I unfortunately do not have those skills. Nice job bro
LOL - Happy to hear we were able to capture just how tough some of the lines really were and that you enjoyed our video. 😎
@@wayalife The sad part is your doing that shit in a stock vehicle with a manual tranny and I’ve got the 392 Rubicon and wouldn’t try that. Mostly because I’m terrified of damaging a 100k Jeep hahahaha
LOL - damage can be repaired my friend :)
@@wayalife Well, it helps of you have a shop and the know how but is poor county retired employees gotta pay someone to fix our damage, and it ain’t cheap. Lol
It's good to see that you did clear the obstacles and it was a manual; which I drive in my JLU Unlimited. I started with Jeeps with my new '75 CJ5 here in Arizona, 304 v8 with a three speed manual. At the time the 10.5" Tru Trac Rhinos were the deal.
My suggestion for manuals with front sway bar disconnects and lockers, is carry just a very small amount of speed or "smash" as we used to say in the Air Force. This compensates for the reaction factor and inertial feedback through the drive train through the obstacle. This helps save your clutch, but you need to develop the feel for the particular obstacle; more is not necessarily better. Glad to see you adapted a manual transmission---theft protection device for millenials! Thanks! "Snydes"
Thanks for extra footage too!
LOL - so happy you stuck around for it 😁
I took a bone stock Willy’s sport gladiator to an off-road park. I got a lot of looks and got stuck in the mud pretty good but it was totally worth it and super fun. Don’t be afraid to be judged with your rig, just go have fun.
Great Jeeping and scenery! I like watching you switch things out, and it lets me know what I could do if the stock disconnect on my Rubi quits working. That knob is a way simpler method of unhooking. And less money. Very informative, thanks!
Awesome! Glad to hear it.
Hey guys. So glad you guys are back..your videos got me into jeeps and off roading.. Eddie you are the man..tackling that's stuff with street tires..I was cringing when the wheels was off the ground and you kinda hopped her..lol
LOL - It's been a challenge but we're trying our hardest. Glad you're enjoying what we've been putting out. 😎
i love the stock video as it allows us to see what our regular guy/gal vehicles could do
Awesome! That's what we're hoping to do with Pippi 😎
Good video, have been “saving” for a red 2dr soft top sport. I wanna get the base model so I can modify as I please instead of paying for something I’m very rarely ever going to use or see. My 94 XJ likes to take my money at the moment. Hopefully one day I can make my dream come true.
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed the video and hope you get your Jeep sooner than later.
I really enjoy your videos. Very informative and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you like them! 😎
Stock and manual 😮 that’s some good driving.
LOL - thank you.
Awesome vid and awesome off-roading skills !
Thank you. Happy to hear you enjoyed it 😎
