Keep being you. Screw the haters. Have fun your way just BE SAFE. I enjoy watching you guys, my family does too! Some ppl are just foul and move on from them. Stay up guys!!!!!! If you ever hit the High Desert hit me up
I just the same method on my JK after tie rod, track bar and drag link replacement. This is a great method and a great way to save some cash! You two are great
I'm learning with you guys, so I appreciate every episode you guys are putting up! I'm also looking at the Skyjacker Shocks for a 3 inch lift. Currently running 285/70R/18
You two are so much fun, it's great to see a couple of goofballs just having a great time and enjoying this..! Just a heads up, after you have completed a wrenching project, the term used to check everything you have done is "nut and bolt"... I completed the lift, but I still need to nut and bolt it. I totally dig you guys, and I'm now a life long subscriber with 5 past Jeeps, a current Hummer, and a recently purchased TJ because the Hummer is leaving, awesome Karma out to you guys..!
You guys are awesome! So much fun to watch, I love your energy. Bravo, great channel! You make your viewers feel like they can accomplish anything! I actually never thought I would ever attempt doing an alignment at home ;) Marc
Great video. The tires do need to be off the ground. So when you adjust the toe. They are able to move freely. You can also roll the car back and forth after you adjust. So the tires can settle in there place. The toe might still be off tie you do that.
I've seen a bunch of different ways to do that but that is certainly a new way with the thumb tacks it looks a lot easier I normally use a level and bungee cord it to the tire.
Great video guys!!! I do my own alignment on my CJ by marking the tires and a long rod across the tires to measure the toe. Your method is great too. If you want some suggestion for your next alignment. Lift the frontend slightly off the ground. It should take little to no effort twisting the tie rod. The way you did it, You’re having to move the tires with all the weight of the vehicle. Lifting the front end off the ground won’t affect your measurements. Also on another note. Going off road is a big thing for Jeep owners but not everyone can afford a rubicon so one affordable way to rubiconize your open diff Jeep is to install a Lunch Box Locker. They’re super affordable and look to be like a very nice upgrade to make your Jeep that much better. Let me know, we can use my CJ 😂. Keep up the great work guys.
Awesome suggestion! Appreciate your time and help! Yes! We actually have an extra set of lunchbox lockers for the front d30 but ended up selling the jeep before we could install it
Garage Couple What!? You have a spare set of lunch box lockers for a d30? I’ve done some research on these and found there’s a few different brands. Are you selling? Where are you located?
A bit of advice start looking into a track bar, drag link and tie rod. Those tires are heavy so they will wear on those parts. Just did mine this week. WORLD of difference. The thing drives like a car after the steering kit and shocks
Just curious - what is the difference between stock ( ground to skid plate ) vs lifted ( ground to skid plate ) those tires are nice I'm looking to pick up a set of 37" on beadlocks for one of my YJ's
One thing u do learn....some people are so into the way "they " do it....like you know, there are many ways... U can run 38's on the street if u dont mind some rub...i wouldn't off road with them though.... Keep building....😀
I never thought of doing thumbtacks for measurements. That is a great idea haha. Eventually, I'll be picking up another youtuber's tool for doing an alignment (if you want, I can mention their name in a follow up comment), but I think for now I'll use tacks!
Wait what? People on the internet hating? That can't be true, I've never seen that before?!?! hehe, don't stress the haters, even Mother Theresa would have gotten haters on UA-cam lol
A friend just bought a 2012 JK and I've been trying to explain to him to install steering and track bar reinforcement kinda like this. I know Marco's Jeep at OverlandX has this JK upgrade and highly advise everyone else to do the same. I've seen too many Jeeps stranded offroad when their steering breaks. I was thinking you should make a JK version video. ua-cam.com/video/RchFRGKPY6Q/v-deo.html

I just the same method on my JK after tie rod, track bar and drag link replacement. This is a great method and a great way to save some cash! You two are great
Appreciate it big time! Cheers
I would have never thought that an alignment is a do it yourself job. Great video and cheers to the cheers at the end of your video... love it!!!
Cheers and thanks bud!

Thank you for the kind words! Jeeps are amazing, we can never get enough...Hummers are cool too! Would love an H1!

Yeah. Thats a good way to do it. You can also do it with tires on the ground, and then go for a drive and do it again. Thanks for the insight! Cheers!
I've seen a bunch of different ways to do that but that is certainly a new way with the thumb tacks it looks a lot easier I normally use a level and bungee cord it to the tire.
Very nice! Cheers!

Thank you! Gonna try the alignment myself
Check out our latest video, we used a toe in tool which helped a ton!
Great build so far don’t let others stop you
You could always make changes
Amazing your doing it yourself
Love vids
Thanks for the kind words!
A bit of advice start looking into a track bar, drag link and tie rod. Those tires are heavy so they will wear on those parts.
Just did mine this week. WORLD of difference. The thing drives like a car after the steering kit and shocks
Appreciate that! Thanks so much!
That's really cool with a thumbtack before I was using a 2 x 4 strapping it running back and forth good job guys
Awesome! Thanks for sharing
Since you gouged up the tie rod bars in adjusting the tires did you repaint them to prevent rusting?
We did! Only because one of our subscribers reminded us to! Cheers
Just curious - what is the difference between stock ( ground to skid plate ) vs lifted ( ground to skid plate ) those tires are nice I'm looking to pick up a set of 37" on beadlocks for one of my YJ's
We can measure it for you soon. Not sure about stock but its a huge difference. Can almost sit upright under it now.
You guys are awesome! I like how much fun you guys have 👍
You're the best thank you!
I like the fact y’all are flying that American flag behind your Jeep 🇺🇸
God bless America
another good video guys! still having fun i see! thats what its all about!
Thanks so much!

U can run 38's on the street if u dont mind some rub...i wouldn't off road with them though....

Appreciate this comment!
I believe you managed to swap ends on the steering damper.
Hmm..
They aren't directional, so as long as it doesn't hit anything it's fine.
Clutch! Thanks bud!
I prefer using MAP gas to heat up stubborn nuts/bolts.
Sweeeet!
I never thought of doing thumbtacks for measurements. That is a great idea haha. Eventually, I'll be picking up another youtuber's tool for doing an alignment (if you want, I can mention their name in a follow up comment), but I think for now I'll use tacks!
Sweeet! We like using thumbtacks because they are everywhere
I tried the self alignment.....couldn't quite get it...had to take it in..
Aww! Well at least you tried! Cheers
And you are doing a great job God Bless....
Thanks, you!
Good job!
Thank you!
Awesome video guys!
Appreciate it! Cheers
72 and 2 16ths formerly know as one eighth
Correct!
Wait what? People on the internet hating? That can't be true, I've never seen that before?!?! hehe, don't stress the haters, even Mother Theresa would have gotten haters on UA-cam lol
Cheers 🍻
@@Garagecouple Hey Greg, don't forget to spray paint the scratches on the tie rod so it doesn't rust
Appreciate the feedback! Will take care of that now! Good catch
🍻 cheers
Cheers
