This Week in Jeep
High-End Jeeps and Others Stolen From Plant-Tracked Down
Back in Episode 581, we broke the story about six-figure Jeeps getting stolen directly from the parking lot of the assembly plant they were just built in. Brazen thefts, middle of the day in broad daylight type of thefts. Smashing gates and outrunning the cops type of thefts. This was no small-time heist, it was an organized ring that was well-informed and funded.
About a year later, we now have some clues as to where they may be going.
Customs agents in Spain have intercepted a large volume of smuggled stolen cars.
All going to the same destination.
The large increase in the volume of stolen cars last couple of years = more shipping container inspections. = more busts. (24 smuggled high-end vehicles in January alone)
The latest bust included a Jeep Wagoneer estimated to be worth over $90K
The total value of the latest bust = $2.6 mil in high-end vehicles
According to current stats, law enforcement in America, Europe, and Africa have recovered hundreds of stolen vehicles bound for West Africa over the last two years.
Sept of 2022 dozens of Wagoneers/ Grand Waggys and Mustangs were all stolen on the same day from factory plants.
What else has been going on in the US over the last couple of years that has raised questions of shady dealings with other countries?
Speaking of Busts….
Ya know I was honestly hoping there was more to this story. Two twenty-something car thieves stole a Jeep compass in Stafford NY and took authorities on a high-speed chase through two counties. Upon hearing this, I thought for sure there would have been a whole string of broken, damaged, and otherwise inoperable cop cars left in the wake of this stolen Jeep. I mean we’ve heard countless stories about how one Jeep or another seems to be able to thwart capture, elude, and disable multiple chase vehicles before finally giving up the ghost and the occupant(s) within. Not this time. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I have some sort of wish for harm to our men and women in law enforcement. But I do find it immensely entertaining to hear of Jeeps being used as escape vehicles. The two Jeep thieves in this story were eventually stopped with the use of spike strips. One fled the scene on foot but was captured moments later. Both have been charged with criminal possession of stolen property, reckless endangerment, unlawful fleeing of a police officer, obstructing governmental administration, and a number of vehicle and traffic violations.
Does any one particular Jeep escape vehicle story come to mind for any of you?

Episode 769 – Interview Matt of Howell EFI
Matt Howell
Matt’s dad, Bill Howell started the company after working for GM. There is a great blog detailing Bill’s past experience that lead to the formation of the company on the website. Howell EFI now has 30+ years of EFI conversion experience and they are mostly known for Jeep EFI conversions. Most of their products are California Carb compliant, especially the Jeep products. https://howellefi.com/product-category/50-state-legal-produts/ While I don’t have a bio for Matt, note that Matt is a great person to talk to about what you should know before you buy and attempt an install of EFI/TBI. He said that the transplant business is huge right now. Howell EFI has continued to become a household product in the name of refurb shops, conversion kits, the backyard mechanic, anyone seeking efficiencies. From car rebuilds, to jeeps and off road, to powerboat performance, HOWELL EFI and harnesses not only provide custom-fitted design and harness layouts, but also customer service second to no one. Even more so, originating from an offshoot innovation forged from years of legendary history, development expertise and innovative design, Howell Engine Development is an ongoing salute to one of the pioneers of big block and performance design, immeasurable in the reach and ongoing innovations of automobile performance around the globe.
Howell wiring looms utilize better than original equipment wire. The individual connectors used are exactly the same as those used by the original manufacture to ensure perfect attachment to the assigned component each one labeled with white tags to make for trouble-free installation. Best of all, when ordering a Howell EFI conversion kit, everything is included. Case in point for the classic Jeep carb to EFI change out, the kit features components like a new Throttle Body and computer module specifically programmed by Howell to the requests of the consumer. It is literally turn key! All Howell TBI kits feature a remanufactured GM throttle body appropriate for the engine size, all sensors – MAP, coolant and oxygen, components, a stand-alone wiring harness available, ECM and fuel pump, clamps and one of three sized adapter plates. The Howell TBI kit also allows for custom calibration PROM for the engine and an ECM that installs under the dash, so no tuning is required. The kit utilizes the OBDI GM diagnostic capabilities for scanning codes. http://www.howellefi.com.
Example product page:
Part # CA/CJ258 JP1 Emission Legal Version CARB EO #D452
Includes all components plus a remanufactured 4.3L Chevrolet throttle body to convert a 2BBL CJ or Wrangler Jeep to EFI. Specify type and year of Jeep when ordering kit. Emission legal version CARB EO#D452. Many original emission controls are eliminated, which simplifies under hood area. ECM installs under dash. High pressure fuel pump must be installed in main fuel line from tank, and bypass fuel returned to the tank. Harness includes diagnostic connector, and diagnostic is similar to 1986-92 GM pickup truck.

Episode 768 – What’s 83 and hates ICE?
This Week In Jeep
You See This Happen To This Jeep – What Do You Do?
Winter is different all over the US. The only ice we drive on in Oregon is the ice rain.
February 4th, 83-year-old Thomas Lee was driving across iced-over East Okoboji Lake in Okoboji, Iowa in his Jeep when the ice cracked and the vehicle began to sink.
Lee was on his way to his son-in-law’s fishing shack when the incident occurred.
Has anyone ever gone ice fishing?
The lake is often frozen solid enough for people and even some vehicles to traverse it safely but the weight of Lee’s Jeep was just a wee bit too much.
The ice cracked and the Jeep Wrangler began to sink
Thankfully multiple individuals were close by, noticed, and acted.
Before reaching the Jeep, witnesses had already called the police, but one young man and four other bystanders decided to act rather than wait on authorities.
One particular 17-year-old kid got to the Jeep first, was able to get on top of the rear bumper, and tried opening the back hatch, but it was locked.
Someone else gave him a knife, and he hit the back glass a couple of times before it finally broke open.
The small band of good samaritans who had rushed to this old Jeepers aid and managed to rescue both him and his six-year-old dog Cooper.
Thankfully, all involved escaped serious injury during the rescue effort.
A local store took the dog in and helped dry everyone out, including the dog.
The Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office called out the quintet for its heroic actions on its Facebook page.
Evidently, it’s not the first time that a vehicle had fallen through the ice in this very spot.
On January 27th, just a week prior, the Sheriff’s Office posted an update involving a UTV that went down in the same location.
Thankfully, that spot, in particular, is only a few feet deep so neither the UTV nor Lee’s Jeep ended up completely submerged.
The Sheriff’s Office also updated everyone on the good news that both Lee and his dog Cooper are back home, dried out and doing well despite the dangerous accident.
Recovery efforts got the Jeep back on dry land, and all we know is the insurance company is involved.
Motorweek Gives Jeep Brand TWO Prestigious Awards
The Jeep brand is the winner of two 2023 MotorWeek Drivers’ Choice Awards.
For over 42 years MotorWeek has held the annual Drivers’ Choice Competition
To evaluate vehicles based on driving performance, technology, practicality, fuel efficiency, and value.
The new Jeep Grand Cherokee took top honors as the Best Midsize Utility vehicle.
The new Grand Wagoneer won the Best Luxury Utility honors.
Through a spokesperson, the brand said it is proud to design and deliver the best, most capable SUVs in the industry to its customers.
John Davis, Host and Creator of MotorWeek say “if you can find a more luxurious or capable SUV – BUY IT!”
By The Time you Hear This, It Might Be Too Late
The event sounds like an absolute blast – and it’s for a good cause too!
Blue Water Jeep Owners Club of Marysville Michigan is having its Fourth annual Polar Bear Jeep Run to benefit children’s charities
(Event is set for Feb. 25 – The weekend after this episode comes out)
The event consists of a large community of Jeep owners who raise money and get family and friends to donate in favor of their driving with their tops off in the middle of winter…in Michigan.
On the day of the event, Jeep owners will go through a drive-thru registration process somewhere in Port Huron, where they will turn in their money and have the tops taken off their Jeeps.
From there they will head over to The Fieldhouse Sports Bar and Kitchen in Marysville to line up into groups.
There will be five or six groups of Jeeps — each group will be sent out at staggered timing, three times during the afternoon for a 30-minute scavenger hunt.
The group will be given addresses they can choose from, to go and pick up an item to come back with and decorate a Polarman.
(A Polarman is a large plywood silhouette shaped like a polar bear)
Each group will be assigned its own Polarman.
Each location a team visits will have a bin of items. They will pick one, take a group picture and then go off to another location.
When the team returns, they use the items to start decorating their Polarman.
If the team arrives back later than 30 minutes, they start to lose items.
Spectators attending can buy tickets to vote on their favorite decorated Polarman during the event. – The one with the most tickets at the end of the day wins.
Spectators and teams can purchase — rent — items from a table in the main event tent to make a team have to use those items on their Polarman
You might have a team doing a great job making a Hawaiian-themed Polarman that all of a sudden has to use a pair of snow skis in their design.
Music, games, Live ice carving, raffles, auctions, and more activities will also be a part of the event. https://bluewaterjeepowners.org/
All proceeds will go toward local children’s charities, including child abuse prevention, adopting kids at Christmas, backpacks for kids, and others.
Thought they would raise about $500 the first year, but ended up raising over $9,000. Funds raised have steadily increased each year, with last year raising almost $19,000.

Tech Talk with Jeep Talk
TOPIC/QUESTION: Heater Hose Hack
Replacing heater hoses on a Jeep is a relatively simple process. Working on Jeeps has always been relatively simple, but there is always room for a hack or something that simplifies a process to make a job go easier or more smoothly. Heater hoses are the two smaller diameter rubber hoses that circulate engine coolant to and from the heater core, which is the small radiator inside the dashboard that provides heat for the cabin. They typically extend from the engine to the firewall, because of where the heater core is located. There may be a 
combination of rubber and hard lines depending on which year and model of Jeep you have and what engine it has. Despite this, the rubber hoses are a part that can and eventually will go out on you. The job of replacing them, as I mentioned, is relatively simple: take the old ones off, put the new ones on, and maybe top off a little coolant. Done. The issue is sometimes the old rubber hose makes a chemical bond with the metal hoses protruding through the firewall. Sometimes these are even plastic or have specialty locking connectors which makes things even that much more fun and interesting, as trying to get an old hose seized into a plastic connector is almost impossible without breaking the plastic connector, or sometimes bending or creasing the metal interconnect hose. It CAN be a pain in the ass. There are two things that will make this process go a lot easier though. One is a technique and the other is a tool. First the technique. Since these hoses are being replaced anyways, how you take them off isn’t really critical, it’s more important THAT they come off rather than HOW they come off. So instead of trying to twist and pull them off, simply cut them off.
Using a good box knife, make several passes longways from the end of the hose at the firewall, down the length past the connection point. This will probably be less than six inches. This will enable you to peel the hose off the connector, saving the hassle of turning a simple hose swap into a dashboard removal. The other method is by using the right tool for the job. You might be so inclined to grab the biggest set of channel locks you’ve got and just 
start twisting away. Chances are, you’ll do more harm than good, as the grip of the jaws isn’t putting the pressure in the right places, and could do damage. Instead, look for a set of hose grip pliers. These are a very specific set of pliers that are purpose-built to do one job; grab hoses. They look like a set of needle nose pliers that have had a bad nose job. The tips are stretched and bent to form a semi-circle, giving you the ability to grab a hose around its entire circumference. This spreads the force around the hose and thus doesn’t apply too much pressure at one point. This reduces the risk of pinching, crimping, breaking, or otherwise screwing up a simple job. They come in various sizes, so make sure you get one that closely matches the diameter of the hose you’re working with.
If in doubt, take a slice of the hose with you for reference, or take a measurement beforehand. The tool is relatively cheap compared to the cost of what NOT having them could turn into. This may be a tool you don’t use very often, but the alternative is a lot more expensive and time-consuming. And at least this way, if a fellow Jeeper needs a helping hand, you have the right tool for the job.

The Jeep CJ-3B Celebrates 70 Years This Week
Launched in the US in ‘53
The model was the first Jeep to be manufactured by Willys-Overland in Brazil in 1954.
Why am I talking about Jeeps in Brazil? – “Operation Pineapple”. In 1955, 3 Scouts left São Paulo for Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada to participate in the 8th World Scout Jamboree.
The incredible trip ended up being an extended trip to Alaska aboard a CJ-3B.
Three scouts traveled about 45,360 miles in just over a year.
Passing through 19 countries and living incredible stories.
Those scouts were named Hugo Vidal, Charles Downey, and Jan Stekly.
instantly became legends in the Jeep community.
(Chuck’s parents probably cracked beers with all these guys.)
All are portrayed in the book “Flashes of an Adventure – Operation Pineapple”.
The CJ-3B used in the expedition contained a number of parts and accessories, However, it had no mechanical issues on the journey whatsoever.
A special video citing the trip was posted to the Jeep Brazil YouTube channel in 2018.
In the video, Hugo Vidal, one of the scouts that made the trip gave his take on the life-changing event some 65 years later.
Newbie Nuggets with Wendy
Why do you air down your tires? And what do you air down to?
Airing down the tires for rock crawling, desert riding, snow, and mud offers several advantages for wheeling. We have discussed in episode 431 the types of tools for airing down and up, and how much to air down which all depends on your tire compound and what you are driving, and the type of obstacles you are traversing.
Showing a tire not aired down vs aired down
Actual psi depends on the stiffness and height of the tire sidewall, weight of the vehicle, type of wheels being used, and the road surface and condition
Four reasons airing down is beneficial to off-roading:
- Improved traction by allowing the tire contact patch to spread over a greater area
- Improve ride since the tires are softer
- Reduce the risk of a puncture since the tire tread and sidewall have more compliance – like an inflated vs deflated balloon
- Reduced damage to the road surface since the weight on each tire spread out over a greater area of the tire contact patch. Preserving trails
We always recommend airing down when on a trail, even an easy road. It’s amazing when a driver does and then says later, “wow that made a huge difference”. So let’s all try to reduce our footprint on the trails by airing down and helping the planet.
NOTE: Make sure you air up to the proper psi for your vehicle and tires. Under-pressured tires on the highway could cause a tire to fail/blowout
Jeep Talk Show Gladiator Update
Adding auxiliary lights, onboard air, etc… is exciting and enhances your Jeep, for fun and better off-road performance.
Thanks to TYRI lights I have been doing some wiring on the 2021 Jeep Talk Show Gladiator recently.
Installing the 2 7” Tyri D18 lights is easy, but running the wiring isn’t as easy. The harnesses included certainly helped but you still have to run the harness, and zip tie it up out of the way.
Fortunately, when I built out my custom Gladiator I ordered the Authentic Mopar Auxiliary Switch Bank
This gave me four wires, under the hood that all I had to do was hook up what I wanted to be able to turn on or off.
Two 40 amp and two 15 amp. With the right wiring and relay you can increase that to match your requirements.
I didn’t wire the TYRI D18 or 1010 lights directly to the AUX lines, I added a FUSE. You want to make sure the wire gauge and length match the current requirements of what you are powering. This should be 20% greater than the requirement.
Fuse or breaker? Keep this in mind depending on how critical the thing is you are powering. I have decided on a 40 amp breaker for the Viair 450c air compressor. I don’t want to be needing to use the air compressor and have used my last 40 amp fuse.
If your JT Gladiator didn’t come with a Mopar AUX switch bank, you can order one online from MOPAR, AMAZON, or QUADRATEC. They are between $300 and $400. It looks factory because it is factory.
We’ll have the Mopar part numbers in our show notes for this episode, 766 82215190AE black / 82215798AE silver
