Thanks for watching! 😎🤙 - Авто та транспорт
I have two of them. Broke both tire holders. Broke one steering wheel column. Mirror came off. Air intake filter broke. Still love them. These were a major purchase for me. The kids still ask if it's jeep driving time. Plus they get up and go.
No major major breaks for me yet.. except the sprocket bolts. Easy fix and back on the road

So basically it like a real Jeep
@@milekh6681 Yes. Street legal.
The mirrors look like they came with the Jeep. I wish I had the money to get one of these things. These are freaking awesome looking. People could use these as a golf cart a utility Jeep. Make a little trailer for it you can haul wood stones dirt tree limbs branches grass clippings you name it. That's what I would get it for if I couldn't drive it on the street. I'd get my son something like this so he has something to drive and something to do. When he was 18 years old he was diagnosed with brain cancer so now he needs a walker to get around. Getting one of these would be very very awesome for him. He can't do much of anything else but exercise to try to get back to normal. I'm thinking this would help him get some exercise getting him outside more etc. Awesome video keep them coming.😊
I’ve been looking at buying one for a while, your review just convinced me. Lots of valuable info and I appreciate it.
hell yeah man! glad to see you post another video
Castle nuts are typically not meant to be gorilla tightened (torqued on), the cotter (split) pin holds them in place. And there is a reason why it is not necessarily a bad thing that those sprocket bolts sheared off, it is a kind of failsafe like shear pins on tractor PTO attachments.
Man you definitely made my decision to get 1 alot easier. Great vids dude can't wait for the next vids
Thanks! I have some cool upgrade videos coming really soon!
The jeep works wonderful do to the fact that you keep up with the maintenance, that's something that everyone harldy ever do.. is the same thing with a car that you drive everyday. " maintenance "
A nice touch that lets you drive it on the street legally is the addition of the "SLOW MOVING VEHICLE ORANGE TRIANGLE..... I have one on my hoveround mobility chair! ... so I don't need to travel on the bumpy rail road tracks you call the side walks! .... A cop stopped me once and told me to get on the side walk! ..... I said to him I am legal to travel on the streets just like a farm tractor! .... he looked it up and said your good to go but try not to get hit.
Hey Cody, I'm behind you. I subscribe just like you asked. So far this is the only video I've seen of yours but I like what I see. Keep em coming.
"Tim" not Cody 😎🤙
I had one for 5 years never any problems and still running strong

Keep your head up. Most people give making content up after the first year
New subscriber here, pretty neat little machine!
Really nice review. Subscribed.
Awesome video man!
I liked and subscribed from South Africa,awesome video
Hey buddy great video I live in the middle of nowhere and I think this keep would be fun as hell lol
They are a blast!!
good info! thanks for giving your insight on this. I'm seriously thinking of getting one! If i got one i would make it electric. I'll put a 5000 watt motor, not geared, with a lithium pack. I would keep the speed low and torque super high. Cant risk getting thrown off the jeep at high speed. I would try to reinforce the areas you pointed out. Your 541 miles is a durability test and you've noted the weakest components.
They make and sell electric ones. I have yet to see one here in the States though
Yeah, I got no problem subscribing. I see you had one of these for a year. There was a company that made kits for a similar vehicle. I finally got some money and they quit making the kits. I wanted to see what you got. Think will try saving some for one.
Finally man I could not wait for ur next vid to come out way to go really good video I love these things I’ve watched so many videos on these things I really want one but my family dose not have enough extra money to spend on one
Hey man - thank you so much for you work in posting all this stuff… I just got one for my daughter, and I may well grab one for “her friends” (me) too!!
Couple questions: do you know anywhere a guy can buy the fender flares?? Any sources for swap in turn signal LED’s for the front??
Thanks!! JR
I watched your review
like what you do
so I subscribed for you
I'm new to your channel so starting from now I'll tickle that bell for yah....
Awesome thank you much! 😎🤙
I bought 4 of the Pentara 250 quads. Very nice all except one. It's stuck in reverse. Any ideas? I've adjusted the clutch at the lever but doesn't help. Thought I would adjust down where it goes into the motor. I don't want to ship it back. Too much hassle. Love the upgrades on your Jeep and I have a list of stuff to do to mine
This is a great honest review. You sold me on it...only problem I have is they are sold out!
Just bought 1 .. 88% off sale online. hopefully the real deal or I'm getting a toy jeep 😁😎 really like your upgrades.. Great info thanks😎
There are alot of scams out there. Be careful my friend
@@Projects815 I see they have mini jeeps listed on amazon for $3,500. Do you know if Massimo would be a good brand?
You normally put an idler/tensioner on the idle side of the chain. In this case, that’s the bottom of the chain, not the top.
Only issue Ive had is the junk battery and starter solenoid and relays. 4 years on my coolsters, get a yuasa battery. Upgraded shocks amd lights on ebay work great
I replaced that garbage battery. I ran extended cables to the back and put a motorcycle battery behind the seat that is probably the best upgrade I have done
I want a mini Jepp it looks so cool!
Get to pick mine up next week plan to add a lawn trailer made to look like a m105 with removable top question is how much weight can it pull would 2 adults in jeep and 3 teens in the trailer be too much weight?
I hope i get this for my birthday dec 5th I'll be 21 the chances are low tbh but you know I'll most likely save up for one.
Way to go dude! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Better videos coming soon!! Just needed to get this one out on the 1 year anniversary
Hi, I really enjoy your videos and had hoped I would see one addressing my problem. I did send you this in a comment, but I am sure you have not seen it yet, so here goes.
I have an identical one to yours, only red. I cannot get it started after it sits overnight. I followed your cold start procedure, but still nothing. If I give it one shot of starting fluid through the air filter, it pops right off and runs and restarts beautifully the rest of the day. Let it sit overnight and the same no start issue. I have made sure the valves on the tank line and the line to the diaphragm fuel pump were open. I even tried playing with the fuel pump position, as you had mentioned. I keep the battery on a tender as suggested. However, another issue that may or may not be related is that when I turn the key, there is a significant lag before the starter kicks in. It always does, but it gives that dead battery feeling, even though I know it is fully charged.
I would appreciate any thoughts.
Gary Fisher
I did respond to you on the other video
Pretty cool, thank you
Hey brother! Great video very informative very clear easy to understand. Hope you can make a lot more videos. Where did you buy this and what was the price if you don’t mind my asking?
Tyvm! I got mine from txpowersports.com and it was $2300 shipped
New subscriber!! Love the content, been looking for some good videos 🤘🏿
So cute, would love to have had one when I was 10.
It's more embarrassing to own a full-size Jeep as an adult.

The coolster has the Roll cage, Chain Guard, full foot panel. The massimo looks just like a first gen army jeep and supposidly very soundly built. no chain guard, worthless bar around seat and seat is a dumb config. The X-pro is a rear engine, no chain guard, has foot panel, better functional mirrors, turn signals on the steering column. Engine wise they all seem to be on par. Cost all about the same. tough decision
Wow that kinda stuff is fun. But that thing is amazing.
Awesome videos! You just about have me convinced to get one! Have you tried it sand dunes yet? Also what about taller suspension and wheel spacers? And for your next upgrade get a gpx190 engine for it :)
I had wheel spacers on it. With golf cart wheels. Check out the wheel swap video
@@Projects815 And have you ever tipped? Full send into a turn does it slide or want to flip? =)
@@CodysGarage depends on the terrain you're on.. I have got it to slide and I've also had it go up on two wheels. It just depends on how you throw your body weight
Would like to see one with Plain Jane steel wheels on it.
Trying to decide between the Massimo, the Coolster, and the X-Pro. Seems like they may all have pros and cons.
Just subscribed!
Very cool
Thanks for this information I order my 2022 model comes April 18 th looking forward to it Liked your hitch on the back for garden trailer where did you get the hitch? i like your high beams lights as well I think I will install on front bumper
You are very welcome! 😎🤙I have a hitch install video with a link in the description.
SWEET🔥👊
Thanks!! 😎🤙
Love from Sweden
Would you please tell me what kind & brand of chain tensioner you have on your jeep, where i could get one?
Nice job
Thanks!
I have the same exact one
I finally did it! I ordered one!
I have a question are they considered a utv?
Has it arrived now?
Just ? Is that rear receiver functional? I don’t see any hole through it. I’d love to get one of these to haul a small 25gal capacity water trailer.
Check my trailer hitch install video.. it is fully functional
The negatives were very minor and I like the tire choice. I would use grade 10 bolts on your chain sprockets . Where are they available and what kind of price range are they?
well with all the revews i have seen i decided to get the mini jeep witch has not started for me yet custumer srevice says take it to a shop and have it fixed is that what ya do with a new thibng
You may have to mess with the fuel flow valve. It's the valve directly underneath the fuel tank typically it is broken off. Make sure that valve is between on and off directly in the middle and see if that works for you
What are the assembled dimensions L W H ? Thanks
By any chance did you buy the 125cc Mini Jeep from venom Motorsports Canada 🇨🇦 or US. Did you put the speedometer on yourself or did it come with the jeep ? If you put it on yourself could you let me know where you got it from in your reply please. Thanks brother. The one I got with the jeep that I purchased looks totally different and they are trying to tell me that it's a tachometer when it clearly states kms on it as in Canada we are kph rather than MPH. Any information that you could provide me would be greatly appreciated brother. Thank you. PS I'm looking at the factory Speedometer that came with your Mini Jeep and I feel that I got ripped off and it's not like the jeep was cheap.
Subbed!
Good video!
Tyvm!
Without those upgrades it would be dead by now.
Although i would love to test it on my trail to camp but im to poor to afford one.
It’s like any other machine. If you take care of it and do required maintenance, you’ll keep it running.but it does sound like the maintenance requirements are comparable to an early 70’s Harley
So we have one and the only issue is the chain keeps popping off.... is that why you got the secondary chain tensioner and where do you get such a thing ?
Try adjusting the rear axle backwards first. If that doesn't work then you will need a 2nd chain tensioner
Does it ride well on the beach. Do you think it could handle sand
How did you install the speedometer??
q for owners...since there is no diff in the back how it drives on pavement?
Is it pretty fast and fun
Where can I get one?
I need to buy for my kids
Have you messed with the gearing yet??? I am having a hell of a time finding sprockets that will fit.... I want to go one tooth less in the front or 3 teeth more in the back.... I drive mine on the beach mostly and 3rd gear isn’t the best on the soft stuff.... I thought about putting the 150cc motor in but wanna try sprockets first....
Haven't messed with gearing yet. Although I would like to. Have you checked on the mini jeep FB page?
Hello there! First time watcher here and éf GH subscribed! As the owner of a golf cart, a real nice one. That is called a Tomberlan SS Coupe that’s fantastic for an electric 48volt cart. I have a couple questions. How fast does it go? Do you go through the three speeds as you go? Or one at a time only? The engine used is a direct clone of the Honda ST 125, with the three speed automatic. I’m wondering if it’s possible to use a XL 125, that looks just like it, but has a 4 speed manual, with real clutch and a big bore kit setup? Or would that just tear it up? Is it plenty quick enough already? Good luck have fun and stay safe and healthy!
It goes about 40mph, you shift as you go. Guys have converted them to four speeds It will not mess anything up You will just lose your reverse gear

Thanks!!
I want a mini jeep. My 25th birthday is coming up!

In what factory you bought this mini jeep
Nice. Videos
how about oil changes?? how easy is that?
Great fucken video!!!! I subscribed and liked
Thanks!
@@Projects815 i liked this video so much I started looking these things up and they were sold out everywhere...I finally found one place who had 2 left..drove there on my lunch and when I got there he only had 1 left...bought right there on the spot...and now waiting to pick it up after work. Going to put a full sound system in it and trick it out. Thanks again!!!
So do you have a title for it since it is licensed?
Subbed bud
I’m getting one of these this weekend and I can’t wait
You will love it!!
@@Projects815 you talked me into it brother! Love your videos!
@@bradleypersefield6709 that's awesome!! You will love it!
Please Iam buy your Jeep
Dude can the engine be upgraded for more power?
I know that there are plenty of sites that sell this Jeep,some of sites sell like competition carbs etc.as options. Do you recommend any specific site to purchase from?
Saferwholesale.com,txpowersports.com,orionpowersports.com or princess auto
Nice video! How far can you travel on one tank? Is the Jerry can the fuel tank? Or is that extra fuel?
I would say 30-40 miles depending on driving. The Jerry cameras just for looks I have since replaced that with an air tank for my train horns
@@Projects815 oh haha! Well actually probably a good thing, imagine gas sloshing around behind you... fire hazard.
How much and from where I gated
Do they make 4wd
Where did u buy yours?
How fast do these things go?
I noticed they get sold at Princess Auto right now.
I've had mine to 40 but will go faster on larger tires.
Where did you buy? How much?
Where would one find those tires asking for a friend 😆 totally not in desperate need to fix mine exactly like yours ☺️ and where did you get all the other cool modifications that you did 🤠
I have separate videos explaining where I got the stuff from and where to get it. 🤙😎
You convinced me to get one! Bought one about two months ago and now it won’t start. It cranks and turns but won’t fully start up. Has yours done this? Any ideas on what’s going? Thanks man!
How much are these??
Message me on ig @realprojects815
About $2400
Check to see if it is getting fuel and spark plugs getting spark.
Where can you buy these?
Cool
Question?! I have a mini Jeep only 6 months old but had it in the garage for a month. Now it can’t start up and i already choked it. Just makes the clicking noise when I turn the key. Any ideas on what’s wrong with it? If anybody got info on how to fix it. Thank you.
Battery is dead.. you will need to jump it or push start it
Check out my common mini jeep problems video I show how to bump start it
Hahaha sweet! I need a tow hitch on mine.
They come in handy!
Where did u get it
@@dylan6585 I got mine online from Amazon. Then I decided to build mind from scratch.
@@LONELYCLONER what was it called on Amazon? Bc I might get it for Christmas
@@LONELYCLONER or how do u build one?
That's a really cool Jeep does it go up and down a mountain?
Can I get this jeep!!! Colorado native!!
Your Jeep super 💖💖💖💖
What does it mean when it starts up with the chock on but as soon as you put it back down, it dies. It will stay on though with the chock up
Carb needs tuning
Oh no 🙈 I only had it for 2 weeks. Do you have any videos on how to tune them? I enjoy watching your channel because I am learning. This is my first one and a lot of the motorcycle shops won’t touch them stating it’s China made and don’t want to be responsible
Sub'd for you brother. God bless u
