BMRA TMTC TX4WD Fall Run 2019

Long raw video, but you’ll see near the end that Tony gets stuck in a pit that wasn’t much different that the one that was easily navigated moments before.  Why do you think the Jeep just stopped in 4lo and rear locker engaged?

1. Cause it’s an XJ
2. Driver doesn’t know what he’s doing?
3. Red Jeep
4. Other (What’s your theory?)

You won’t have to wait long for the answer!  Just listen to episode 409!

This Week In Jeep: 

Let’s hope he never gets another Jeep ever again. 

Ordinarily the news stories I sift through each week are, as you’d expect, Jeep centric. And although this story HAS a jeep in it, it’s a chevrolet that ends up being the star in this, and you’ll see why in a moment. A couple pushing a stroller along a crosswalk at a busy intersection in Phoenix was nearly mowed down by a Jeep Renegade that sped through a red light. They weren’t dodgeball champions, and no amount of “Getting out of the way” was going to save them from this jeep careening through the red light. They were saved when in the nick of time… another vehicle came thru the intersection and T-boned the Jeep, giving the couple time to run to the curb. The Phoenix Police Department released a video of the incident, calling the second car that hit the Jeep a guardian angel for ultimately saving the couple. In the footage (that has likely gone viral by the time this episode airs,) shows the couple with a stroller walking at night through the crosswalk at 53rd Avenue and Indian School Road. Two cars make a left turn in front of them, and as if thats not bad enough, just as the pair nears the center of the road, here comes 23 year old Ernesto Otanez Oveso in this Renegade traveling at a high rate of speed, and just blows through the red light headed right toward the couple. At what seems to be (LITERALLY) the last second, a black Chevy Cruze (that was traveling lawfully through the green light) enters the intersection, and appears to speed up just car lengths before it slams into the Jeep. The force of the crash pushes the Jeep out of the view of the camera just feet before it would have hit the couple in the crosswalk, and causes the Chevy Cruze to spin around. The completely shocked couple immediately runs across the street to safety. The police department announced that the innocent driver of the chevy suffered minor injuries, but will be OK. The red-light runner was of course arrested for (you guessed it) DUI.

…Speaking of douchebags…

Police in Chattanooga, Tennessee are asking people to be on the lookout for two vehicles stolen from the Austin Hatcher Foundation, a charity organization that provides services to pediatric cancer patients and their families. Thieves made off with two custom vehicles over the weekend: a 2018 Ford Explorer Sport and a 2019 Jeep Wrangler outfitted by Rugged Ridge. Both vehicles were being stored at the foundation’s warehouse and were to be offered at a Scottsdale, Arizona-based charity auction in January next year. A previous build by the foundation, a customized 2017 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited Hurst Edition, raised a total of $225,000 for the foundation.

Each vehicle is unique beyond its visual customization. The foundation worked with pediatric patients and their families to design and build both vehicles as part of its occupational therapy program, a service that gives each child the chance to participate in therapy services in a fun and motorsports-related environment. Best of all, the program is offered at no cost to participants and their families. A Facebook post by the organization indicated that the individuals responsible for the theft tore through a fence and damaged a vehicle transport trailer before making off with the two trucks. Jonathon Myren, the foundation’s industrial arts director, told local news that he believes the thieves used a tire iron to break into the vehicle transport trailer to look for keys to the vehicles. After locating them, they crashed one the rigs through a gate and drove off the premises. At least one of the vehicles may have sustained some damage, as the Ford Explorer’s factory roof rails and custom roof carrier were left at the scene. The damage to the gate also indicates that one of the vehicles may have light damage to the front end as it was used as a battering ram. According to a report by the International Motorsports Association, the vehicles are said to be insured, however, the foundation will not be compensated for any aftermarket parts lost in the theft. Additionally, given the unlikelihood that the vehicles will be recovered in an auctionable condition, the organization has begun fundraising to make up for the lost donations. There are currently two fundraisers in place to help recover funds lost from the theft, one on GoFundMe and the other on Facebook. Collectively, the foundation’s efforts have raised less than $3k at the time we air this. Individuals who have information on the vehicle’s whereabouts should contact the Chattanooga Police Department at (423) 698-2525.

Jeep Life:

We hear from Jeep Momma out on the road!

Wrangler Talk:

Let’s avoid the fear of not stopping in time or not having enough braking power.

Hello JTS listener and welcome to this week’s Wrangler Talk, on this talk we are going to be covering upgrading your brakes and the different options out on the market. This topic will be covered over two weeks, just because there are so many different options out on the market. So why are brakes so important, well when we start adding those larger tires to your rig you might start to notice that it takes a little bit longer or a greater distance to slow down and come to a stop. When we are adding larger tires to our jeeps it is going to take more brake power to slow those larger tires, just like it is going to take more power to get those tires moving. So, for this talk we will be focusing on the two main components of the brake system, the brake pads and rotors. The purpose of the brake pads is to convert the kinetic energy of the vehicle traveling down the road into thermal energy through friction. So, we all know that when we press the brake pedal, we are forcing the brake pads to squeeze the rotor and in turn slow down the jeep. However, when we start looking at the brake system the main wearable part is the brake pads, and there are 4 different categories of brake pads. The 4 different categories of pads are organic, semi-metallic, full metallic, and ceramic. With these 4 different categories of pads there are benefits and disadvantages of each type of pad. So, when talking about organic brake pads, they are by nature made from organic material like glass, Kevlar, Fiber, rubber, and resin, which is great for resistance to heat and are usually some of the cheapest pads on the market. These types of pads are great for the everyday stock applications; however, these pads are a softer material and tend to wear down quicker in comparison to other types of pads on the market. Also, these pads have a high compressibility which can give you the feeling of mushy brakes when you are doing a lot of braking and in high heat situations. So, we do not want that mushy feeling when are trying to stop those large tires coming up to stop sign so let’s move on to the next type of brake pad, and that is Semi-metallic. Semi-metallic pads are made from 30 to 65 percent metal, and the most common metals used in these pads is steel and iron and the rest of the pad is made of friction modifiers which consists of fillers and resin. Semi-metallic pads are the most versatile pad on the market and provide great stopping power, however they are a bit more abrasive on your rotors and can be a bit noisier than organic brake pads. However, I think the tradeoff for more braking power is very worth it and are usually price very reasonable. Now onto the highest price pads on the market and they are ceramic brake pads. Ceramic pads are made from non-organic materials and tend to last the longest out of the 3 types of pads that I have covered. Ceramic pads have the highest resistance to heat and tend to wear the slowest. Ceramic pads are some of the best pads on the market and are specifically designed to provide great stopping power. Ceramic Brake pads also produce the least amount of brake dust and are much quieter than Semi-metallic pads. So, if you are looking at new brake pads these are all things to consider. For example, if you only jumped up an inch or two in tire size, I would say the semi-metallic pads should still be sufficient for your applications and maybe consider ceramic pads if you can find a good deal on them. Although if you made a large jump in tire size, like me going from a 31-inch tire to a 37-inch tire, you are definitely going to look into spending that extra bit and get ceramic pads for your rig. I personally have Carbon Fiber ceramic pads on my jeep and I could immediately recognize the difference in stopping power when transitioning from a semi-metallic to ceramic style of brake pad. Now onto the other wearable part of the braking system and that is the rotor. There are a couple different style rotors and configurations of rotors on the market and each rotor is designed for a different application. The different types of rotors are vented, drilled, and slotted. Each style of rotor serves a different purpose. Your most common rotor is the vented style of rotor usually come stock on front rotors on any vehicle. This rotor has a series of vents between the two surfaces where the rotor meets the pad and allows for better heat reduction when braking. When the rotor is rotating the vents act as a pump forcing air to pass through the rotor allowing the rotor to cool down. Next are drilled rotors. The purpose of drilled rotors is to first help with dispersion of heat through the rotor and secondly allow the gasses that build when braking to release through these holes. These gases are produced from the brake pad rubbing against the rotor and are generated at high heats. This gas prevents your pad from making full contact with the rotor and reduces the amount of braking force you have. That is where the holes in the rotor allow for this gas to escape and allow for full contact of the pads to the rotors. Finally, on to slotted rotors, and slotted rotors serve the same purpose of releasing the gasses that build up during the braking process. However slotted rotors use a set of grooves in the rotor to wipe away the gasses and clean the pad with each groove, where drilled rotors allow the gas just to be released through the holes. Although what style of rotors are the best for your jeep well depends on how big your tires are. If you are looking for the most stopping power, you are going to want to have a vented rotor allowing for the most heat reduction during braking. Next my recommendation is to look into a slotted rotor because that will provide the most amount of stopping power when braking. So, when it comes to pads and rotors we know that ceramic pads and slotted rotors provide the most amount of braking power but there is a tradeoff and that is they are usually the most expensive. So, find that happy medium between cost and brake power. This concludes this week’s wrangler talk. We are going to continue talking about brakes next week and remember if you have any more questions or comments please contact us at JeepTalkShow.com/contact and we would be happy to answer them. Remember to stay tuned to next week’s talk where we will be continuing the topic of brakes.

Tech Talk With Jeep Talk:

Linking it up with Homelink

If your Jeep is equipped with Homelink, which usually consists of three buttons, in the overhead console, or in the drivers sun visor, and often accompanied by a small house symbol, then you have the ability to use the Jeeps built in transmitters to operate such things as your garage door opener. If you bought your Jeep and you’re not the first owner, there’s a chance you may not know how to set this up. It’s very easy, and we’ll go over the steps right now. All you need is to be in your Jeep, and have both the keys to your Jeep and the garage door opener you wish to mimic with the Jeeps homelink system. Simply turn the ignition to the on/run position, and while holding down the homelink button you wish to program, hold the opener within one to three inches of the homelink button you are programming and hold both buttons down simultaneously.  There is almost always a status LED, which will flash slowly at first, but then flashes rapidly when the programming is complete. Release both buttons, and you’re done. This may take 30 seconds before programming is complete. To verify programming, press and hold the homelink button you just programmed. If the LED stays on, then you’re all set. If you have a newer garage door opener, one that was built after 1995, or that has a rolling code system, you need to take an additional step. On the garage door motor itself, you will need to locate the learn/train button. It’s usually right near where the antenna is, and may be behind an easily removable panel. Press this button, you now have 30 seconds to get to the homelink button, so move like the wind, but don’t fall off the ladder. Now press the home link button twice, holding it down for two seconds each time. If the link is established the garage door will operate, if it does not, you will need to press the button a third time, again for two seconds. You should now be all linked up.  Happy door opening Jeeper! I hope this helps.

This Week In Jeep:

By The Skin of His Teeth

Ok, Imagine this…. You are Trooper Ruben Correa, who has been with the Utah Highway Patrol for two years, and you’re responding to a routine traffic stop when you get a call from dispatch about a vehicle on train tracks not far from your current location.  Sounds like a lead up to a scene straight out of a TV cop drama, right? In fact, it actually happened earlier this week. Correa immediately left the traffic stop and began to drive down the freeway using his spotlight to search for the vehicle that he had just gotten word of. It didn’t take long to find the vehicle in question, a 4 door Jeep Wrangler, down an embankment, sitting across the railroad tracks. The driver of the Jeep, a man in his 20s, was unconscious, and a medical issue had caused him to drive off the nearby highway and onto the tracks. The trooper ended up arriving just in the nick of time. As soon as he exited his vehicle, he heard the train. It took 35 seconds from when Trooper Correa got out of his patrol car, to when the train hit the stranded Jeep, said Sgt. Nick Street, the spokesman for the Utah Highway Patrol. “At that point, I actually wasn’t really thinking,” Correa said. “I was just doing my job.” Due to the quick actions of the officer, the man was pulled from his Jeep with literally just seconds, and by meer feet to spare, before the train collided with the Wrangler. The trooper and the driver were still just feet away on the embankment when the train came through. The Utah Highway Patrol called Correa’s actions “incredible and heroic.”  After being rescued, the driver was checked out by medical personnel is doing well according to reports. The exact nature of the medical condition has not yet been released. 

Current Jeep Owners Now Eligible For Loyalty Discount On Gladiator

Incentives are once again reducing the price of the Jeep Gladiator for some buyers. But not all. The latest enticement is a loyalty bonus for existing Jeep owners that slices $1,000 right off the top of the pickup’s price. If you are eligible, you will receive an actual coupon for the offer either electronically or in the mail. Unlike the last deal that came down the pike, which was just a lease by the way, this is a little more attractive.  The last offer you could get a Gladiator for as little as $143 a month for 24 months but you were limited to just 10,000 miles per year. Yea, no thanks. I’d like to DRIVE my new Jeep and not just keep it chained up in the garage. Those offers ended in September anyways and were here and gone before you knew it. This one has a little more time behind it. The incentive runs through January 2, so if you’re still on the fence about owning a new Gladiator, there’s no rush. This new deal almost sounds too good to be true, and some of you might be wondering “what the catch is.”  If there is a downside to this offer, it’s that it excludes the top of the line Rubicon trim. But, someone could still apply the discount to the Sport, Sport S, or even Overland trims, though, so it’s not all bad. Online reports show that dealers are rarely stocking base variants with few options anyways, so the chances are good that you can save on a Gladiator that suits your needs and wants. The average asking price for a new Gladiator is around $40,000 so any discount at all (I think) can be appreciated. IF you end up getting one of these coupons, we want to see it! Be sure to send us a pic, or post on our facebook page.

Wrangler Talk:

Sleeving Your Axle Tube

Hello JTS Listener on this week’s Wrangler Talk we are going to be covering sleeving your axle tubes. So first let’s talk about what sleeving your axle is. Sleeving your axle tube is the process of plug welding or pressing in another metal tube into your axle tube doubling the thickness of your axle tube. From the factory a Dana 30 and Dana 44 come with two and half inch axle tubes with a tube thickness of a quarter inch and well yes that might be a good strong choice when you are driving to the mall. Although when you starting to hit the trails and rock climbing your axles start to take a bit more abuse especially when you have larger tires on your rig. Remember Jeep designed the Jeep Wrangler with the mindset that this jeep will have 29-31-inch tires on it for its lifetime and it will not need a stronger axle. So, when we start making modification to our jeeps by putting a lift and tires on your jeep we are increasing the overall weight the axles must support. After we start increasing the amount of weight they must support the overall abuse the axle must endure increases as well and the weakest link of these two different axles are the axle tubes. One of the most common axle failure is getting a bend in one of the axle tubes or cracking the tube itself. So one of the ways to increase the strength of your axle tube is by sleeving the axle tubes and there are two different styles of axle tube sleeves, the weld in sleeve and there is the press fit sleeve. In my experience the weld in sleeves are much easier to work with and install. However, both types of sleeve serve the same purpose. So let’s talk about the actual process of sleeving your axle tubes and I want to say sleeving your axle tubes is not for the faint of heart. For both processes you have to disassemble each side of the front axle and pull your axle shafts out. With your axle shafts removed you can start the sleeving of the axle tubes and this is where the processes split. So, for the weld in kind this process might take a bit longer however, working with the weld in sleeves are much easier to work with. The reason why weld in sleeves are easier to work with is because they are machined down so they will slide freely in and out of the axle tube. So, to start the process of welding in your sleeves you are going to have to drill a set number of holes in your axle tubes, normally you have to drill 6 evenly spaced holes on the shorter side of the axle assembly and 10 holes on the larger side of the axle at least that is what it what was when I sleeved my axle tubes. Yes, this is why I said sleeving your axle tubes is not for the faint of heart. These holes that you will be drilling will provide the spots at which you will be plug welding your axle tube to the sleeve making it all one unit. So, after prepping your welding surfaces and cleaning out your axle tubes you will make all your plug welds and reassemble your axle. Now when it comes to press in sleeves, they can be a bit tricky. Press in sleeves are machined down as well however they are machined to an exact fit for the axle tube and requires a bit of force to insert them into the axle tubes. So, when pressing these axle sleeve into the tubes there is possibility that they might get stuck at a certain point in the tube and this creates a much larger problem, and this is why I prefer having weld in sleeves. Sleeving your axle tubes is a great and non-expensive way to increase the strength of your axle and ensure your axle can take the abuse you will be throwing at it when offroad. I have done the process of welding in sleeves and I would recommend doing it because of the peace of mind and strength that it adds to your Jeep. Well this concludes this week Wrangler talk on sleeving your axle tubes. Did I get something wrong or did I miss something? Or is there something you would like to hear about on the Wrangler Talk. Well go to our contact page at JeepTalkShow.com/contact and send us an email or leave us a voice message and we would be happy to answer any of your questions and Remember JTS listener stay tuned to next week where we will be covering upgrading your brakes for larger tires.

Tech Talk With Jeep Talk:

Repairing A Broken Rear Defrost

I have seen it a hundred times. A hard top Wrangler rolling down the street, windows all fogged up from a leaky freedom top, and the rear window has about a three stripes of clear glass on it, the rest – completely fogged up. Hell I’ve owned a vehicle or two over the years where the rear defrost only had a few lines of working defrost-ability, or it plain didn’t work at all. Sometimes the problem is more serious, like a relay or a broken wire somewhere. But, more often times than not, it’s simply a broken or burnt out trace in the glass. What I’m referring to are those little goldish brownish orangish colored lines that cross the back window. Just about every vehicle on the planet that has a reea window has these. They often consist of parallel linear resistive conductors in or on the glass. When power is applied, these conductors heat up, thawing ice and evaporating condensation from the glass. These conductors may be composed of a silver-ceramic material printed and baked onto the interior surface of the glass, or may be a series of very fine wires embedded within the glass. If you have the kind that is embedded within the glass, unfortunately, the window will need to be replaced, as there is no way to service this kind of rear defroster. The surface-printed variety is prone to damage by abrasion, you can actually feel the conductors if you run your fingernail up the inside of the rear window. If you have the surface mounted kind of rear defroster, it can be repaired easily with a conductive paint material. Repair kits for this very task can be found at virtually any and every parts store across the land. My favorite is the Permatex Quick Grid Repair Kit. These go for about $10 to $15, and have everything you need to repair that broken conductor trace on your rear window. The process involves cleaning the window, masking off the area you want to work on , and secure the included template in just the right position over the broken trace. Then you simply paint on a new conductive line where the old one was broken. If you take care in the prep work, and follow the instructions, you’ll be defrosting that whole window again in no time.

Jeep Weather:

Hey Jeeper, its Mitch and it’s time for your weekend Going Topless-Jeep Weather Report.  Let’s start by Going Topless in Rutland, Vermont. Rutland is out by Green Mountain National Forest. There it will be cloudy and 48 on Friday, 52 for Saturday and 57 for Sunday. There isn’t a rule saying you can’t be topless and run your heater.  Keep your heater on and Go Topless in Yellowstone National Forest, Wyoming. There it will be snowing this weekend with 32 on Friday and Saturday and 28 on Sunday. Just a note: I’m of Scottish decent so ditching underwear and wearing wool clothes in the snow sounds fun!   Alright, so you aren’t quite ready for winter like me, then Go Topless in Corpus Christi, Texas. It will be sunny on Friday of 84 and Saturday of 92, on Sunday it will be partly cloudy and 88 degrees.  If you are looking for perfect weather to work on your winter tan, make someone’s day and Go Topless in Joshua Tree National Park, California. Out here it will be consistent and sunny all weekend: 81 for Friday, 84 Saturday, and 81 on Sunday.  If you have any suggestions or want to know YOUR local weather in an upcoming episode. Just reach out to me at JeepTalkShow.com slash contact. It’s always great weekend to Go Topless if you’re brave enough! Just Go Topless responsibly.
