This Week In Jeep: 

Tragic Jeep Rollover

At around 4:05 p.m. saturday afternoon,  The Sedona Fire District was dispatched to 36400 SR 89A near Page Springs Road in Arizona on reports of an accident and brush fire. According to a news release from Jon Davis, fire marshal for the Sedona Fire District, the accident involved a tour jeep from “A Day In The West” Jeep Tours. The company offers various levels of Jeep only offroad tours of the Sedona area including several historical and challenging trails. On Saturday, this particular Jeep which had been modified to carry more passengers, had been carrying six people plus the driver. The jeep had rolled over for an unknown reason, but came to rest in an upright position.

WELL…that didn’t take long.

Breaking news coming out of The Easter Jeep Safari….

Dana Inc. has just introduced a new line of aftermarket Dana axles and Spicer drivetrain components for the new Jeep Wrangler JL. The line of drivetrain upgrades includes Ultimate Dana 60 front and rear axles, Spicer Performance nodular iron differential covers, chromoly axle shafts, bearing kits and expanded ratio gears.

Dana made the announcement this week at the Easter Jeep Safari taking place now through April 1 in Moab, Utah. Both the Wrangler Sport and Sahara come with the all new, completely redesigned Dana 30 axles in front and Dana 35 AdvanTEK axles in the rear. The Rubicon however, comes equipped with Dana 44 AdvanTEK axles in front and rear. Each of these axle designs have been improved and strengthened for the Wrangler JL. Even though the new Jeep Wrangler JL features these extensively redesigned Dana axles as a part of its standard equipment package, there are always those of us enthusiasts who want to push the envelope.

Wrangler Talk:

Top 5 Must Do Topless Tips

As Jeep owners there is at least one time you have to tell someone… “It’s a Jeep Thing” for one reason or another. Non-Jeep owners just don’t get it. Well it goes a little deeper for us Wrangler owners, well most of us. It’s that one thing that sets the Wranglers apart from all the other Jeeps. It’s the topless mode. And the doorless mode.  It’s the only reason I bought my Wrangler. That first summer was absolutely the best thing for my soul. The wind in my hair and sun in my face was so amazing. And then my Jeep life morphed into a whole other thing but that’s a story for another time. This story is all about those Topless Wranglers. Now one thing that drives me crazy is driving around on a beautiful Spring or Summer or even Fall day and to see another Wrangler with their top up. Or how about those Wrangler owners who have never taken off their hard top. I just don’t get it.

James A.— 5 star
Great show guys. Always get lots of useful information from the show. I’ve been listening for almost a year now and it’s taken some time to go through all your episodes. You three are very comical and a pleasure to listen to. I have 2 jeeps. A modded 2013 2 door jk Rubicon in RED (For Tony) and a bone stock 1987 yj Laredo in black ( just for you Tammy -lol). On the last episode one of your listeners stated that black is a combination of all the colors. To me that says that Tammy don’t know what color she wants so she got one with all of them in it. Haha. Looking forward to all your future episodes. Rubiman_jk

Tech Talk With Jeep Talk:

Clutch Talk

Transmissions can be scary, there’s a ton of moving parts, repairs are ALWAYS expensive, and usually take specialty tools, most of us Jeepers don’t have in our garage. Lets not forget that most of us aren’t trained transmission techs either. But that doesn’t have to stop you from learning a little more about your manual transmission, how it works, how to take care of it, and how to diagnose those little problems before they become big repairs. I love automatic transmissions, they’re convenient, easy to use, and can generally take a fair amount of abuse. But I love me a manual transmission. I’ve owned over 20 rigs in my life, and only two of them have been automatics. There’s just something about having the control, being able to manipulate the final drive of the vehicle with a combination of throttle gear selection, and creative clutch work. The clutch, rather than one specific part, is actually series of moving parts that act as a sort of domino-effect on each other. Of course, this means if even one part fails, the entire system ceases to function. When this happens, knowing how to diagnose the issue at fault is the key to getting back on the road—or trail.

This Week In Jeep:  [0:01:29]

Award Upheld 

After several trials, appeals, more trials and more appeals, there is finally some closure coming out of the Georgia Supreme Court. Last week, they unanimously upheld a $40 million award to the family of a 4-year-old boy killed in 2012 when the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee in which he was riding was rear-ended and burst into flames.  A lower court in 2015 reduced a jury verdict from nearly $150 million to $40 million. Fiat Chrysler spokesman Michael Palese said the company was “disappointed in this decision. We are considering our legal options.” The Jeep’s fuel tank was placed near the back of the vehicle, which plaintiffs said made it vulnerable to rear-end collisions. The Supreme Court ruling says that  there was enough evidence that showed that Chrysler had long known that mounting a gas tank behind the rear axle was dangerous.

 

Actor Anton Yelchin’s Family Settles with Automaker

27 year old Anton Yelchin the famous actor who played Checkov in the remake of Star Trek, was killed when he was leaving his L.A. home in June 2016, when he got out of the vehicle (possibly to check his mailbox) and the Jeep rolled down the driveway, pinning him against a security gate. Yelchin died almost immediately, according to the death certificate, the official cause of death was blunt traumatic asphyxia. Unfortunately, his body was pinned for hours before it was discovered. Authorities had said he thought the shifter was in park when it was actually in neutral. For those who don’t know, this was common mistake made by grand Cherokee owners, and the vehicles had actually been recalled for a fix at the time of the accident, but Yelchin had not yet taken his Jeep in for the fix.

Top 5 Must Have Jeep Accessories for Jeep Moms  

I wish I would have been given these tips when I first became a Jeep Mom owner. I’m  gonna start with no. 5 —  the Rugged Ridge Floor Mats for those spills of juice, cheerios and mud.  Easy clean up, you can just hose them off… the ridges channel the mud and dirt away from your shoes and pants to keep them from getting dirty. The high perimeter wall keeps the water or juice or milk from sloshing all over.  No. 4 Spider Web Shade… They have several colors so this is a great way to add an accent color to your Jeep Wrangler. Plus…the shade blocks up to 90% of the sun’s harmful UV rays. And drastically reduces wind noises Plus, you never have to remove it. You can use it to store of blankets, towels and extra clothes between the soft top and the spiderweb shade.

Tech Talk:   Engine Oil Filter Bypass Valve Fix:

I have to hit pause here and give an extra special thanks to one specific listener. Over the years we’ve received a lot of interaction from you our listeners and fans. Sometimes it’s just a pat on the back, sometimes it’s congratulating us on a milestone we’ve achieved. And yes, sometimes we even get some constructive criticism. But in all the years we’ve been doing this show, its rare, quite rare in fact, that we get someone specifically looking out for the best interests of other jeepers. Oh sure there;s steve, and jon, and cody, and nate and the others who regularly submit content for the show that helps all of us out in one way or another. But I consider them part of the family, kind of like Nicky G. Maybe just a little less like a weird uncle, and more like step children, but I digress. Dysfunctional Jeep families aside, Listener Les Lyman of Phoenix Arizona, took the time out of his busy day to write into the show.  Dorman Products #917-992

Jeep Momma Product Review: JK Pockets  [1:01:48]

The amount of Cool Jeep Stuff out there for your Jeep is so amazing. I am always adding to my wish list, which is getting quite costly. So it was a nice surprise when I found out I won a social media contest I entered.  A big shout out and thanks to Slickrockgear.com, and CPO fromO3DJeeps for putting on an IG contest! I won a set of 5 JK Pockets for my Jeep Wrangler. These things are a really cool idea. The first “real” door pockets for the Wranglers.  Two pockets for the front doors, two for the rear, and one for the center console. The OEM cargo net pockets were really bothering the OCD part of me. Granted you can stuff a lot into the netted pockets, but that only stretched out the netting. You were also limited to what you could stuff into the pocket because smaller items could fall out.

This Week In Jeep:  Mahindra Pseudo Jeep / Ultra-Mini-Jeep in the works / Jeep parks underwater in River. [0:02:42]

Here’s something a little different for all of us Jeep lovers out there.

In early March 2018, Mahindra Automotive North America launched the Roxor, a side-by-side (two-seater) off-road vehicle.   The Roxor is small, and it has no windshield or safety equipment, so it isn’t street legal. It’s made strictly for fun. And could possibly be more fun than bouncing out of a vehicle with bugs in your teeth?…, i can’t think of a single thing! Mahindra is the Mumbai, India-based brand that focuses on industrial and powersports vehicles and has little name recognition in the United States.

Some people choose to park their Jeep in a garage.

Other’s may opt for the carport, or just leave it in the driveway. However, the owner of a green-colored Jeep Wrangler decided the best place to park THEIR Jeep was in the Wainiha River on Kauai.   What is likely the result of a single vehicle crash has left many residents puzzled. Last Saturday, police responded to a report of a vehicle that was fully submerged in the river on the east side of the Wainiha twin bridges. According to a preliminary investigation, police said the driver possibly struck the bridge and at some point reversed into the river. The driver then fled the scene. A nearby resident is reported to have heard the crash and went to investigate.    Police said the resident went to the scene and observed the newer model Jeep Wrangler underwater with its headlights still on. Thinking the worst, the resident jumped into the river to austensibly rescue the occupants, only to discover the vehicle was empty. Police have since contacted the vehicle owner to remove the Jeep from the river, and to ask the question on everyone’s mind… just what the “F” happened?!?

It should be coming any day now….

After months and months of speculation and rumors, we may finally have a slightly less muddy picture as to whether or not Jeep will be coming out with a sub-compact model of SUV’s. Speaking to reporters at the Geneva Motor Show this week, Jeep global boss Mike Manley talked about the possibility of Jeep releasing a new SUV, smaller than the Renegade.  “I have to say THAT one has moved on reasonably significantly,” he said. “You will probably have to wait until our big event in June when we talk about the next five years to see if it’s officially in the plan or not.” Jeep and FCA have been toying for years with the idea of a truly compact SUV.

Top 5 Personal Items to take when you go off road [0:19:17]

Good Shoes – lightweight your feet are gonna be on the pedal all day. I go for hiking shoes. I bought Merrels before I went to Moab and they are my go to shoes when I off Road. They are perfect when you need to get out of your vehicle on the rocky terrains.  Change of clothes – never know when you might get all muddy or come across some water you might have to wade into for a rescue.  Water bottles – I like my Jeep water bottles. You need to stay hydrated while your out on the trails. Even though you are in your Jeep you need to stay hydrated.

Good Lord them back up lights are white and bright, but I digress.

This watershed forest has over 11 miles of gravel, dirt, and slightly rocky roads coursing throughout. The technical rating is a 1 to 2…Dirt road. Dry, or less than 3″ water crossing depth. Some ruts. Slight grades, up to 10 degrees.  Tony — Novak no HD NP242J parts, but willing to build me a HD NP231!

Price Shock

It happens to most of us when we find out just exactly how much that new shiny we want is REALLY going to cost. And in true supply and demand fashion, the new shiny Jeep most of really want, just got a bit more expensive.[PIC-1]    It was reported this week that the 2018 Wrangler JL’s shipping from the automaker’s Toledo, Ohio, assembly plant now cost $750 more than they did just a few weeks ago. That brings the entry price to $28,940. Notably, Jeep sells two vehicles as the 2018 Wrangler—a carry-over design badged Wrangler JK that’s now out of production and a redesigned model known to enthusiasts as the Wrangler JL.

Working out in style

You don’t have to be a bodybuilder, a sports fan, or even a jeeper to appreciate this story. Although the name might not ring bells to most of you the team this athlete plays for might. New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara isn’t slowing down during the NFL offseason. As most players focus on healing injuries, reconditioning, and rebuilding. Many players opt to bulk up, add strength and endurance, and hit the gym. This one player however,  is taking that to the extreme…. he’s dragging Jeeps around during his workouts. The 2018 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year posted a video.

Unit Bearing Woes

I want to give listener Ryan S. a shout out for sending in this question. He writes…

“I’ve been trying to remove the stub shafts from my Dana 30’s Unit-bearing with no luck. What’s the trick to getting these things out?”

Unless your jeep came from or lives in arizona, or southern california or parts of the south where it hardly ever rains, and rarely ever snows, your jeep is likely going to have a bit of rust here and there. Oh sure i’m sure the body is fine, and the floorboards are all intact and rust free…but those components UNDER the jeep, have faced hundreds of thousands of miles of dust, grime, grit, and who knows what else picked up from the road over the years. Even if the Jeep has never seen snow, salt or deep water crossings, the components under a jeep can still freeze up with oxidation and surface rust. And wheel bearings are no exception. When it’s time to replace those front wheel bearings, know as unit bearings, or a broken stub shaft, separating the bearing from the knuckle or the shaft from the bearing can be a real chore

David Tracy with JALOPNIK

David Tracy is a Jalopnik writer who spends a lot of his time wrenching on rusty, cheap Jeeps. His interest in off-roading came about after his dad, during a “Take Your Child To Work Day,” got his HMMWV stuck in a mud pit on an army base in Germany. When David and his family moved from Germany to Kansas, his dad bought a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ, which was the car David and his brothers learned to drive on in high school. But they didn’t just drive, they off-roaded that ZJ in the flood plains of the Missouri River.  Hard.

Jeep Momma “Tammy” Product Review: [01:36:41]

JT Brooks Automatic Tire Deflator Pros

When I began my off road journey one of the first Off Road accessories I got for myself were JT Brooks Automatic Tire Deflators, they come in a set of four, but recently they came out with the Pro version. The pro version eliminates the need to calibrate, you just simply dial in your desired PSI and Go.  Both of these  tire deflators automatically and accurately deflate tires to a set PSI. Once set —  you screw them onto each tire’s valve stem, and let them do the work. They automatically shut off when the set PSI is reached. This saves so much time on the trails. And all tires can be deflated simultaneously, This allows you to complete other tasks while all tires are deflating.

 

Cherokee Love: [1:13:46]

Recovery in Reverse

I learned something new, or I knew it and forgot, either way I found it interesting.  I was listening to our new 4×4 network member “On the Trail Podcast” and they were discussing some of their listeners calling them to task about pulling people out, stuck, in harm’s way etc…  Apparently pulling someone’s vehicle out with your Jeep in reverse is a no-no. Why? The ring gear in your diff! Drive and coast part of the ring. When in reverse the you are putting more stress on the angled coast part of the ring which is not as strong.  Josh did you know about this?!?!

Camp Fireside Chat: [1:19:54]

Josh contemplates yard work or Jeep work.  The light is better in the yard… Transfer case rebuild on the schedule this weekend. Borg-Warner Morse chain.  Tammy thinking about heading off road, ALONE!  But it’s close to home, it’s okay, right?  Never wheel alone unless it’s okay, or you have permission from some friends.
