Giving people a JEEP, if they can fix it

Some of it yes, but normally people don't go around sabotaging things. Most of these repairs do happen on a day to day basis, but i wanna see one of these that involves a TSB, not very difficult ones of course. But that will would be cool. Either way these are good videos.
