Helpful video. Like your wife, I’m enjoying my sportster! However, it simply isn’t built for everything I want it to do as I grow as a rider, so I’m in the market to add an ADV bike. Love the styling and features of the Pan Am (especially the adaptive ride height since I’m only 5’-7”) but holy smokes…I CANNOT justify the $20,000 price tag. Alternatively, the used market for these things scare me given the issues they’ve had…sadly, all this scratches Harley off the list.

Exactly what I was hunting for! Owl Explore ladder with the VanSpeed capsule. Have the ladder, looking to add capsules. How much clearance was there/any special modifications to make it fit? Thanks for sharing the build!

Great video, super helpful! ✨💡

That was p month's ago, are yoy still enjoying it?

Owl They’re very expensive

Van is looking great man. Well done!

1st view. 1st comment! 😅

Too many vehicles are trying to stuff in so much luxury stuff I don't want. Dual zone automatic climate control, can I have the analog 3 knobs please. Thats just the first thing I could think of.

The French can fawk up a wet dream. 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

They first of all are NOT A VEHICLE MANUFACTURER! But an investment company! With the traditional formula of buy low, sell high! That works in high end realestate and money management markets, but NOT vehicle sales! They bought a high value brand of go anywhere do anything vehicles, then tried to turn it all around like the investment side, to raise the prices in the name of higher luxury and quality? Before adding the VALUE they wanted to charge! But the American buyer might be foolish, but NOT stupid! So now their vehicles are sitting unsold on lots gathering dust and lot rot, the most deadly force ever to car companies! So the idiots at Stellantis must GO, get Jeep and truck guys in charge! First of all LOWER prices are better gaining 5% profit on every one made, than trying to take 35% out of 40% sales!!! I bought a new Gladiator just 8 weeks ago, because I found a dealer offering a $15,000 discount on a $51,000 msrp! Like I said 30% LESS and hey will sell! That’s exactly what all the dealers I visit say, but you have to still be a good buyer to qualify for the crazy rates the banks want!

Jeep died a long time ago. 97 xj owner here and I see no appeal for any new car especially a new Jeep.

New jeeps are junk. I prefer the late 90s and early 00s jeeps. So simple and so cheap. Easy to work on and are as capable as any new vehicle on the road today. 4.0 I6 is the GOAT.

Original Jeep should be as Suzuki Jimny. Down to basics and affordable.

Dodge, jeep,Chrysler built the worst hybrids the worst plug 🔌 hybrids and do not want to build electric ⚡️ vehicles because they hoped government regulations of 14 states would be over turn but it did not win they could stop sell vehicles in 14 states and build no hybrids or electric vehicles but I guess they don’t want to

Sell it to ford. Make the GPW great again

We're in a bed recession those people are losing their jobs if people can't afford to buy the simple things like food and have a place to live I'm pretty sure they're not going to run out and buy a brand new Jeep keep in mine I own a Jeep and I love the hell out of it but if I ever had to make payments that would kill me right now money's tight for a lot of people

Jeep and Wrangler are interchangeable. Without Wrangler there's no Jeep.

The demand is decreasing most Gen Z would rather drive the electric Barbie/Ken CUV and WiFi hotspot !

I recently heard that Buick might take over Jeep and even the Dodge end of that ? Does anyone have any updates on that ?

DONT FORGET YO PUT The KAMALA/JOE ADMINISTRATION IN YOUR EQUATION.

Tired of people saying “I want a Jeep so bad” shiiit not my money So many cases of people purchasing them and they’re at the dealer for months getting fixed

Rather than the demise of Jeep, maybe the name, tooling, manufacturing facilities and intellectual property will be sold off...At one point Jeep was AMC, Renault, etc...History repeats itself...

Chrysler sold out

Getting rid of the wrangler will not solve the issue stellantus has because the issues is all the electric and the other dumb ass models

They are just too expensive.

My 05 Tj has 60,000 miles on it as of 10-3-2024. It is my forever Jeep and it will be something I will leave to someone in my will!

I have worn this watch for two years now, it’s great. My only complaint is the band keeper is too loose and I’ve actually had the watch fall of my wrist. I’m using a hair tie to keep it on.

Solid. Super solid

Prices of Wranglers have soared over the past couple of decades, while quality control woes have become all too well-known. Rising gas prices and the introduction of Ford's Bronco have just added salt to the wound. It didn't seem that long ago that you could buy a 2-door TJ with an inline-6 and manual transmission for under $20k. TJ/Wranglers were a very attractive option at that price point. Base price is now over double that, and no longer attractive. Now they're over-priced and unreliable toys.

Love it! Got stickers?

Its always the jeep guys with headlights that are too bright. I used to have a daily commute that perfectly matched up with a Jeep wrangler drivers commute home early in the morning. Even his low beams were entirely too bright. I got tired of it, and started blasting my brights at him. This went on back and forth every morning for weeks. I finally got a very bright super lumen flashlight and started blasting him with that too. He finally gave in and put stock halogens back in his jeep. Screw that guy.

Too expensive.

I sorta agree with you, but not totally. Yes there is a diehard group that only wants the minimum because they are only going to mess it up rock crawling, mudding, off-road. But, there is the true mall-crawler/soccer mom group that wants the creature comforts & then there is the middle & that's where I am. I still have a 1999 TJ that is rough & tough & that Jeep gets beat up with no care. But I also have a JLU Rubicon with all the bells & whistles & I daily drive that one. The real issue is Stellantis increased their prices dramatically due to greed during the low supply/high demand (Covid Era) & they are still trying to get those prices like all the other greedy automakers, but that is the part that must change. The whole auto industry is having issues due to this.

Lol

Kill the music, up the info.

Nice build! little late to the party but I'm getting a 2002 Jeep Sahara 1 owner my (dad) was thinking of 35's but this build with 33's look amazing with that 3 inch lift I think this might be all I would want to do and keep everything factory. Simple and awesome!

The modern ultra bright vehicle lights, on road and off road models are not only designed to increase illumination, but are designed to decrease the phycological happiness and comfort of the human who is subjected to being lit by them.( on coming traffic at night) Example; Think about how law enforcement uses lights to modify human behavior during traffic stops. All these light to be recalled! 🤬

Creature comforts? Eh...only thing I have on my jeep I didn't before is steering controls and cruise control, not complaining about that. For size? They are bigger, not sure what you are talking about. For price? My jeep was 31k. Brand new ordered to me. Inflation included the older jeep was more expensive. For sensors? I mean...what? Tire pressure sensor going bad stresses you out? Mechanical failures? Extremely reliable. Some manuals caught fire sure. But you'll get 200k miles easy. And if you don't? Engines are cheap, these engines are better drive anyway. Inline 6 was great, but this v6 has so much more scoot to it than my old TJ. 60k miles not a single hiccup. My 130k tj had some serious issues with proper maintenance. We'll see. Over all the only thing that drives me nuts is the electronic throttle. I hate the minor delay it has on my stick shift. It's more capable than my old sport too. So...

Jk/j8 are the same platform. J8 is the military spec.

I've had a HD Lowrider for 35 years, it runs fine, apart from a few oil leaks. I have a 2022 Panam Special, the army green version, I love it. Only had a few problems, replaced the starter clutch and currently it is in to get the 2024 alternator upgrade, the original alternator had a loose magnet, causing it to cut out. They are upgrading it under warranty. The front radiator hose was too close to the header, I shortened it and wrapped the header, because it was getting burnt.

So true, still holding onto my 2010 JKU forever. They are making cars worse every year, not better.

I do not want and will never buy a Chrysler.

Just subscribed, then unsubscribed. Bro, I want KZbinrs in 2024 to stop begging me to subscribe 5 times in every d**m video.

I have a lot of trail time, not just saying it. I actually do it. In my experience the vast majority of mechanical failures I witness on the trail are from the pre-JK eras of jeeps.

I have a 2 door JL Willy’s. Manual. It’s perfect for me. Very little tech on it.

I had a very well-built streyched 2001 TJ, and it was incredible offroad. My only complaint was it was just too small, and even LJ's are too small for my family and I. I have a JKU now, and I adore it. Works well offroad and has room for everything and everyone else.

I've always drove trucks in W/T trim as daily drivers never been into fancy..my current truck is a white 2020 Silverado 2500 2d. Last Dec I got a 21 2d Rubicon, as a fellow gorilla I understand as I have to leave window down for "overflow" 😂 I'll admit the thing has a lot of buttons but got a good deal on it, 18k miles one owner clean Carfax. I've always been of the same mindset but hey they tell me change is good🤷

I thought I would never get a newer jeep, I have a 2 door JK with roll up windows, manual locks, no touch screen ETC. However, Its just not comfortable enough to take long distance, 3-4 hours max in that rig. I test drove a 23 Rubicon gladiator and fell in love, drives like a car and still has jeep capability allowing me to actually off-road outside of my state comfortably. Still have my JK just in case this gladiator gives me problems, but Im willing to take a chance on it, Its a great adventure truck so far. In other words, YOLO. However I will never buy a tech infested electric car/truck lol.
