I concur; I loved nothing better than exploring in my old Cherokee Chief with my two little girls and my Red Dingo-Queensland Heeler. My I'd like to have that time back again, it's been 30-35 years ago you brought back some memories. My eyes are watering, so I better go. Taikuu

I loved the blazer. I hope you got a wad of Franklin's to boot on the trade. I'd like to see this thing built well, but something the average weekend warrior would still daily drive. You have the xj and sami for hard-core wheeling.

Good 'ole Hellga! Colt, I bought/built this Jeep back in high school and had a blast doing it. Sold it while I was in college due to chasing after my wife (then girlfriend) attending college in another state ($250 gas bill was killing me). Can't believe it made it to BleepinJeep but when someone sent me the link to this video, it blew my mind. Hopefully, you'll get as many memories out of it as I did. If you ever get an itch to sell, I have a check with your name on it.

Hey Colt, great video. I'm 68, retired, and new to this Jeepin craze here in so Indiana. My wife and I recently purchased a used 2017 Jeep JK with 40K miles. We are blacktop explorers I guess, lol. We have a few friends that also have newer Jeeps. Since this purchase, we have had a great time exploring all kinds of places. I bought this and started watching your videos, and Matt's Off Road, and Paul on Fab Rats, I now would like to find an LJ to mildy fix up to do a little more off-roading, I just want to thank you guys for helping me spend my kids inheritance!!! LOL. It's a blast but gets expensive! Keep the videos coming.

[@SkyBlueOffRoad]

TJs are the best. I started with a stock on 31s and now about to go 37s and just built a 3/4 ton frontend from a 78 f250... If ya ever want to check out my build just come on over for a view.

You're doing exactly what we used to do in our old yellow '77 CJ7. This IS what jeeping is all about! Just seeing a road and taking it in order to find out what's there. We have done a bit of jeeping in the Black Hills back in the 80's. Did quite a lot in and around Moab, too. But mostly in Arizona. Sure do love watching you and reliving our memories of our younger days of adventuring. More of this please! Thank you!!

You know new people are calling it Overlanding! Hahaha! I love watching the new stuff, especially Matt's FC Overlanding with his wife. Keep it up gents. Thank you 🙏🏽

This reminded my old days of wheeling in Blue Mountains of Oregon. As per the jeep, keep it simple for the basic trails, that you can drive down highway and turn off to mountain country. Upgrade suspension, dif locks. I am thinking Yellow Jacket for a name.

The "Swigzy" cup holder on Amazon is most likely the solution to all of your cup holding problems. I drive a ZJ which may have the worst cup holders ever designed in human history. The Swigzy holds a 40 oz Hydroflask or a skinny can like a seltzer or an Ultra without spilling a drop on serious 4WD trails. I'm entirely unaffiliated with the company, just a very, very happy customer. Prime shipping & free returns too as of 2/21/22. If you're in hate with your factory cup holders these may give you a significant improvement.

Best wishes, Colt.

Great video Colt! Cool to see a TJ on the channel. Maybe just keep it mild? Makes it relatable having a Jeep on the channel that I imagine is like many of the subscribers. I love the ratsnest project. The scorpion. The Comanche. But sometimes it’s nice to see content that I think I can do that. Not I wish I could build/afford that. Maybe keep it light as you can. And make it as comfortable as you can (long arms ). I personally just enjoy all the cool little tips and tricks you share. 👊 🍻

In the 60s my family had Willys wagons. We spent weekends exploring the San Juan mountains around Creede and the Elk mountains around Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
