Howdy Jake. Presuming this vid was made before Jade’s rear-end issue; it’s soooo much cooler to see you happy, living the adventure. Somehow, and I mean this in a good way, being down doesn’t suit you... BTW, nice touch giving Annie a raw egg! Dogs do love their raw eggs. :D
Thanks Jake for sharing, I think that If Cole has opened the doors of his home to you, is because you have shown us that you're a genuine guy, with a big heart, and a lot of dream ahead to achieve. Thanks Brand for the headlights and the non spillable battery for Jade, Wish you the Best! Thanks Cole & Family, for helping Jake - a lot off blessings, and my Best Wishes! I have a son, and when I think of all the struggles that are affecting Jake and all the things that could affect Jake's Journey/Adventure, makes me a little bit nervious, but then happy and relieved that he found your help - I was kind of worried, because Jake had just started his journey - Not a task for a fainted heart! - Jake, loved the video! When Cole and his family received you in their home; the homemade warm meal; Annie eating with appetite again (Maybe was the raw egg?); Jade with his new alternator, and non spillable new battery (I'm going to end repairing my own car, If I keep watching your videos (I'm learning a lot!). Well, maybe nor repairing it, but at least I can manage, checking the motor oil, the coolant, - simple thinks - It's been a pretty Good day! I wish that you keep finding good people in your path... really really good people! Happy Thanksgiving Day to all and to all a good ... Meal!
How cool is that?! Some random dude let you use his garage! I betcha you are going to have garages you can use everywhere you go. That's the way to do a 50 state road trip!
just so you know that black bushing on the top of the alternator where the bolt goes though will take up that extra space at the top when you bolt it down
Very cool of Cole to offer his tools, his garage, his help AND food, boy you scored! Hope you have lots of great Wranglers to help you along the way and get rid of that squeal!
hey Jake good to see you doing some upgrades to jade I really do recommend to upgrade your battery cables them stock ones won't hold up to the new alternator good luck with the trip ....
that squeal may be the idler pulley. I had a similar squeal on my 4.0 and then one day in traffic the pulley seized and fell off. it's only 20 bucks a few minutes to replace for peace of mind.
Jacob Baker He replaced that already, not to say it could be defective though. This was mentioned in his prior to leaving/prep video. He's also replaced the belt twice since then, also mentioned in that same vid
So you got the new alternator in and the new battery and the heater fixed.. then the rear end blew up.. that sucks man! Good luck getting it back together.
My jeep was squealing as well.. It was the power steering pump.. It was squeaking but finally blew power steering fluid out.. I replaced it and squeak was gone..
Jake, what do you do with Jade when you have to fly back for drills? I’m coming close to heading out for my own 50 state trip but I’m a merchant marine and currently on 4 week on/2 week off work schedule. I’m wondering what I’m going to do with my rig when I have to be back in ship?
Hi Jake Jade n Annie! Big thank you and hello to Cole and family. And Brad :) And Mark Twain for cool stuff to quote!! Love ya Jake Jade n Annie bananie!
Cole Collard ...you're welcome and thank you again. Congratulations to you..mom..and family on your new lil babies! Have a super Happy Thanksgiving! :-D
hey Jake my name is Cole too!!!! i am a patreon idk if you remember but you messed up my name cause you and Ben were talking and messed it up then you corrected it the next vlog, but when you come to Florida you come to Jacksonville me and my dad have a 2013 lifted jeep wrangler
Walk into a baby factory at 2:57. This entire install is with the wrong parts. First off, 20 years ago when Optimas came out, they were good. Today they suck. You will see in six months when you are replacing it. Next an improper battery type. I didn't see a trolling motor anywhere on that Jeep. Next are those emergency use only, shit, battery terminals. Do I need to elaborate on those? Next is that shit air filter. Passes a ton of dirt into the motor. Get rid of it, especially on an off road vehicle. Hello...... Next up are those poor grounds. Your Jeep cranks extremely slow. Next are all those cables jumped together at the battery. Get some power distro blocks or copper buss bars. All those friction connections will fail. Again especially on an off road vehicle that bounces around. You will get left stranded on the trail.
what does it have to do with the water pump? The water pump can be shot and no squeals would be heard. Is has to do with Pulley tension and alignment, thats it. They changed the alternator for a bigger one and it isnt perfectly aligned as the original, probably required a different pulley as well.
You've never heard of a water pump squealing before it fails? It happens. I've never had a squealing serpentine belt. Only V belts.. Time will tell. :)
no, had waterpump fail without any sounds. Just temperature rising. Dont know what's a v-belt, im in Argentina so spanish is what I use for mechanics, but alternator belts for example, they tend to squeal a lot when they get old, specially the wide ones
For sure it's not the only sign or the only way to have a bad pump. You do have 'weap' hole that should warn you as well. V-Belt is what they use on older cars, like my old jeep. It's a smaller belt and if you cut it and looked at it, it would look like V. They tend to slip more and make noise. Whereas serpentine belts are much wider. Like 3X as wide, most are grooved and have much much better grip. I think I have three V belts doing what his 1 serpentine belt does. lol I'm sure, I'm wrong, it was just a warning. :)
PotasioCasillas Being a mechanic myself, I conquer with Legion2. Bearings can start going bad in the pump which would make it squeal. Bearing noise can be intermittent due to heat, drying up, or slight alignment issues adding a load. Hopefully the water pump isn't the case. Maybe Jake can decide depending on ownership of vehicle. Was it ever done in his possession? How many miles? If done while Jake has owned it, was it a reputable brand? How does coolant look? Many cases rusted or broken down coolant contributes to premature failure, but that's debatable. @Legion2 You aren't "that guy" if your just throwing out ideas. Good to ask questions, it helps to come up with ideas on possible weak points... Who wants to break down mid trip? lol At least you're helping him be prepared for upcoming possibilities. Great input!
thumbs up for Cole and his help!!
Darren Shelton thanks man. It was great hanging out with jake. Happy to lend a helping hand.
Way to be Cole!
Thumbs up for Cole and his family for hosting and helping with Jade.
What nice people.
I know how terrible stock jeep headlights are, so i had to get you those too :)
That was so awesome Brad!!
Nicely done sir!
ur the man!

Your channel restores my faith in humanity. Thank you for sharing.
It's a nice feeling, isn't it?

Hey jake what type of alternator did you swap with and was it a direct replacement or did you need any modifications for it?
How cool is that?! Some random dude let you use his garage! I betcha you are going to have garages you can use everywhere you go. That's the way to do a 50 state road trip!
Good job Cole!!!! It's very nice to see people help people!!!!!
Jean-Paul Arcia thanks man
just so you know that black bushing on the top of the alternator where the bolt goes though will take up that extra space at the top when you bolt it down
Very cool of Cole to offer his tools, his garage, his help AND food, boy you scored! Hope you have lots of great Wranglers to help you along the way and get rid of that squeal!
so glad to see that he is getting everything handled
hey Jake good to see you doing some upgrades to jade I really do recommend to upgrade your battery cables them stock ones won't hold up to the new alternator good luck with the trip ....
Jake, did the rear end blow up and did the fuel pump fail?
haha awesome video! cole is man of the people. i have done many of work in that exact same garage. beautiful country there in utah.
Cole is a Good Guy & family also. Good people help others. They are that....................
ml2trick thanks man
you're a magnet for nice, generous peeps. I wanna thank Cole & fam too! :D
She Got Helicopters thanks!
This was awesome. I saw his comment on a video and I was hoping you would take him up on his offer. Seeing you with wranglers is awesome.
bro love the little beginning quotes
Have you played around with replacing the belt to reduce the squeal?
Jake what happened to getting off the mountain and fixing rear end along with fuel pump??????
that squeal may be the idler pulley. I had a similar squeal on my 4.0 and then one day in traffic the pulley seized and fell off. it's only 20 bucks a few minutes to replace for peace of mind.
Jacob Baker He replaced that already, not to say it could be defective though. This was mentioned in his prior to leaving/prep video. He's also replaced the belt twice since then, also mentioned in that same vid
So you got the new alternator in and the new battery and the heater fixed.. then the rear end blew up.. that sucks man! Good luck getting it back together.
You know if you REALLY can't fit somewhere, you can use your winch to compress your suspension. Be very careful though you can break stuff real quick.
very confused on the order of recent events but I think I'm rightfully assuming that this video was shot before his rear end went out offroading
Ethan_witha_q Q yes in the video that jake talked about jades back end blowing out he said that he still had videos to post
My jeep was squealing as well.. It was the power steering pump.. It was squeaking but finally blew power steering fluid out.. I replaced it and squeak was gone..
Replacing the whole PS pump was the only way to fix the squeal for me also. Luckily mine didn't blow up like yours.
Jake, what do you do with Jade when you have to fly back for drills? I’m coming close to heading out for my own 50 state trip but I’m a merchant marine and currently on 4 week on/2 week off work schedule. I’m wondering what I’m going to do with my rig when I have to be back in ship?
Qmed Joe - I have been lucky to park Jade on an Air Force base, as so far there has been one in every state I visited! Thank you!
Jake, it was like a heart transplant! May be some setbacks but, life will go on!
i had the same problem it is the belt and the alternator together and out lube oil all over it
so the blown out rear end of the Jeep?
patrick kuehn He mentioned he had videos to post, like this one, when he posted the blown rear vid.
Mornin' Jake!
Nice job Cole!! Great upgrades for Jade
Are you still in Utah, I would love to come meet you. I'm in the Provo area.
Hi Jake Jade n Annie! Big thank you and hello to Cole and family. And Brad :) And Mark Twain for cool stuff to quote!! Love ya Jake Jade n Annie bananie!
Terri Pierce thanks terri
Cole Collard ...you're welcome and thank you again. Congratulations to you..mom..and family on your new lil babies! Have a super Happy Thanksgiving! :-D
What a great family.
How does it work to send you stuff w/out address?
What a nice family!!
Dan Davidson thanks dan
i hope u come to maui bradduh...
it would be nice if you pasted videos in some sought of order to be less confusing. I`m assuming this one was filmed before the rear end blew up.
Yeah, I'm also kinda confused over the order of the recent videos. Happy Friday on a Wednesday
hey Jake my name is Cole too!!!! i am a patreon idk if you remember but you messed up my name cause you and Ben were talking and messed it up then you corrected it the next vlog, but when you come to Florida you come to Jacksonville me and my dad have a 2013 lifted jeep wrangler
Already some great news! :D
Nice video!
Hope all works out Jake :)

Why did you put a egg in Annie's food
If your in Phoenix you have a garage here

That maple syrup though xD
Damnit, Patrick.
xFamousLastWordz I thought I had it. bit apparently not
It still shows you as first for me, hahaha.
xFamousLastWordz I updated it and it shows again as first. woo.
did anyone realize his shirt was inside out
Errors All day it's a beer shirt smarty
Nice vlog but when you stared the Jeep in the garage that's dangers
Mr we opened the door about 10 seconds after.
I'm early, great video.
Squeals make me worry about the water pump.. just keep an eye on it.. Don't mean to be that guy! lol

That garage was twice the size of the living room
soroush valim my priorities are in order. :)
Cole Collard amen brother, I like that you didn't limit yourself to just the jeep life. I also love the motorcycle living.
Thanks so much Cole for helping Jake!
You can tell a lot about a guy from his garage. Love the motorcycle lift. That's one thing on my list. Best wishes to your family!
HIATUS KAIYOTE!!!!!
Those are the worse battery terminals! They will corrode quickly! Welds are the best for terminals
Be cool if you could swap your gas engine for a diesel.
kingmike40 - its a lot of money, but I'm seriously considering it when my 4.0 dies - thanks for the support!
I'm really early 😆
notification gang
You shouldn't start a vehicle with the garage door closed then i saw you had a side door open, thank god lol
nothing to worry about if you start it for just 5 seconds maan
Damnit. Second
first
