I for one am really enjoying seeing the variety of the vlog. Keep it up and good luck with the house hunt.

You should try Royal Purple Gun Oil (not just for guns) it is very versatile. I’ve used it for all kinds of things on my old Jeep, it works great. I’m glad to see you’re back to making videos on a regular basis! Good luck on the house hunt.

[@LindaSChastain]

Don't forget to Write a Letter about you and Kinsey to let homeowners know how much you'll care for their home as much as they do. I promise Jake, it will make all the difference having your offer accepted over others. I love you in Christ. Hugs.

Jake,,,love the vids ,I'm an old viewer of yours got a jeep wrangler the weekend 1997 army green soft top my 11 year old son loves it ...going to kit it out over next few years when can afford....and enjoy the outdoors...always rains here in ireland 🇮🇪 so going to work on it first,,,hunter the kids named it....keep videos coming.......

[@VampFaye]

Sadly, normal will never be what it once was and whatever the new normal is going to be remains to be seen. All I know is that I miss hugging people, visiting friends and going to concerts. Plus, like you, my habits have really changed. Half the battle is realizing that it's happening, so that you can stop them. Keep positive. Hugs 💜💜💜

[@tjj5337]

Don't stop visiting your friends.. That is what the enemy wants. Unless your friends are sick. Visit them and hug them

@@tjj5337 what enemy?

[@simpleoverlander]

Have a sheet metal shop make sheet aluminum pieces that would rivet to the frame and still fit the opening of the hatch... an extension frame. Would look good, professional, and be a nice fit. Could do a 1 piece or multiple pieces.

[@aiden9237]

I love what you do man, but please don’t wear yourself thin making so many videos in such short time frames. Hope your doing well!😁

[@timterrill6318]

I like the idea of the hatch. I think it's more versatile. Looks like it should be a good fit.

You seem like a handy guiy, build your own house.... makes for great content to boot. I am Jake ... I make stuff

[@DesertJeepRat]

Emailed you with a resource for you and Kinsey! Maybe also your online network can help you find the right back window for your rig. It is too epic of a Waggy not to give it the correct working back window.

[@kfstreich4787]

Are some of the forums still active? It seems like a lot of groups have moved to Facebook

[@DesertJeepRat]

@@kfstreich4787 Most have moved to Facebook but there are still active forums to check out. I usually start my search from my Duck Duck Go browser to see all of the option on a topic.

[@mady787]

Jake I just wanna say that I was really sad at first when you were going in a separate direction from your older vlogs but I honestly am really enjoying these so far! I am into the sort of daily lifestyle vlogs you’re putting out right now. I’m excited to see what you do once you have your land!

[@kyfiss9176]

If you trim the corners of that Hatch so it fits with a decent amount of gap all the way around you can get a sheet of aluminum to fill the whole back glass area and cut the hole to fit the Hatch how you want it to fit. I think it looks awesome with the Hatch but I'd definitely do it right and not Jerry right it up. Make sure it's done right for security and weather proofing.

[@redbulletlive]

Hey we had the same idea. I didn't scroll down enough to see how mentioned it as well lol.

[@pjbecker6722]

I'm a real estate agent in WI. I feel your pain. So frustrating for buyers right now. Keep at it! We need 10 houses/condos for every one that gets listed. Extremely low inventory. Love your channel.

Loving the junkyard vlogs - very cool to see how resourceful you are with old and junked vehicles

[@OldJeepGarage]

I like your hatch back idea. I'm taking '68 Wagoneer tail gate and cut it in half and making "barn doors".

[@RickMartinYouTube]

love seeing you do fitness again

[@rickyrhodes5363]

I’d replace the tailgate with one that rolls up instead. Cool idea though.

[@noliravioli2506]

It’s ok. I don’t know what I’m doing either. I’m trying to convert my Prius but I can’t build

[@exo_sketch_2427]

Look into lexan glass. I believe Home Depot sells it. You can cut and fab it however you need. You might be able to cut it to your dimensions and reuse the parts from that hatch you bought. Might work or not but it’s worth looking into. Take care bud ✌️

[@brianhurley966]

You get a window / glass hatch that is smaller than your desired over all dimensions then make a metal frame to your desired dimensions to mount the glass to the vehicle. Silicone or sikaflex sealant, pop rivets and rivet-nuts are your friend!

[@shad0fx]

A few years back I had an 80 cherokee I did some looking to what it would take to hatch the rear and side windows. Just for ease especially as the plan was to build it for a recovery work rig. Have tool boxes in back and such. I priced getting custom glass made for it as well. Close to 5k on glass alone.

[@phTeamHalb]

"Dont know what I'm doing with the blog, bug, gotta keep movin." Keep it up. 👍👏

[@HotRodSonny]

Make a template of the rear window opening out of cardboard or paneling, take it to a plastic materials shop and they will cut one from polyglass, then buy some weather stripping off ebay, a piece of garage door weather stripping for the bottom, a piano hinge for the top and a new replacement handle from an RV shop. It will look great and perform flawlessly. Just look at a wrangler hard top rear window and make one like it yourself!

[@navysararmygrunt4037]

Get someone to weld a piece of sheet metal into the area then cut out the diameter of the hatch taking into consideration the mounting points then use silicone, etc., and mount it into the fabricated opening.

[@joshkimball4976]

You can get manual window regular for your tailgate. That's what I run.

[@The_Samsquantch]

if you decide to keep hunting for something to fit in that area for a hatch, make yourself a carboard template to bring in the junk yard with you and find a proper fitting hatch.

[@redbulletlive]

For the back window, use tin snips on your hatch you pulled to round it out to fit better, then pick up some cheap thicker aluminum sheeting and cut it to mold around your Wagoneer window and bolt it to the frame of that aluminum hatch. Boom, done and you could make it look factory.

[@mattzr2blazer]

Hey bud. Transmission fluid mixed with acetone or wd40 works awesome. We used it in our motor pool.

[@dustinmittel348]

Have you thought about just getting some plexiglass and doing it ?

[@dustinmittel348]

@1234 I mean it help

[@lisapuckett8463]

We bought a lock for a camper for my grandfathers truck. The whole assembly was about 10 bucks. It would be a good idea to go to a truck toper shop.

Your life is changing before our eyes. I get it that you are no longer a nomad. I have been following you since you were living on a boat. I know you have had some setbacks but Jake, you made a promise to visit all 50 states ... How many are still on your list? When you decide to do Alaska let me know I am in Canada. Depending on your route maybe I can help if you are passing through my area.

[@deuce9624]

I'm still loving your videos just as much as I did when you were in the sailboat making midnight munchie videos! Speaking of those... how about it?

[@thomas4315]

Can be done. Need to visual it first buy cheap electric tape about 2-3 roll and flat black paint and get a big card board. On the window on the top corner edge put a line of tape that need to be straight down to match the side body thickness. Do the other side. Even. Then fill that in with card board. Look at it. Getting there? Then you put the whole card board again that body and draw that line and cut 1 inch smaller. Then measure the area right to the black tape both side and top and bottom right up to the glass. Then you cut it out. Paint it black. Put it on if it look good you got a templates. You can cut out . Then you fill in the body. If you can make the template out of black rubber or plastic would nice . I would make the window round corner instead of square as now. That just use a gallon cover to trace in.. tint the glass dark would look cool. Maybe add a thick wire mesh behind with hinge so you can sleep with it open for air?

[@aaronherrgesell795]

Pb blaster works wonders. Enjoy all your content .

[@obell7]

I have a canopy on my ute and the rear glass window broke. I went and found a place and the cut a bit of perspex to size, it was cheaper than a replacement rear window and more durable than glass

[@PapaRed99]

Pick up some PB Blaster Rust Penetrating Oil.

[@broncodude6299]

Yep, PB Blaster and some heat if needed will usually do the trick 👍

[@kfstreich4787]

If you really want to do it right get corosionX

[@ScottPDX]

Get one of those Jeep wind up windows working. Skips the electrical issues,, and looks stockist. Loving the rig....oh... and...long as I am giving unsolicited advice, put a ring on it.

[@travislightfoot7743]

What if you take out the original window, create your own frame, hinge and latch set up and go from there?

[@caleblinden7071]

Just make one with plexiglass and make your own metal trim. Some people on youtube have made their own. And you can get all the gas strut mounts and such that mount really easy.

[@shad0fx]

Joey and Chandler had a pet duck. Worked out well for them!!! And folks across the country are ducking jeeps! So it fits!

[@Old_Rider]

Can you use sheet metal to fill the gaps then you’ll have something to bolt to? Trim the body to fit.

[@levyphi]

Have you thought about putting in the manual (non-power) rear window from a Cherokee?

[@tiakontikiadventures1536]

Hey dude, think the hatch cover could work, if you rig up a bracket to sit between the boot edge and new hatch? Wood could be an option and vinyl cover it to prevent rot? Or steel if you have acess to some? Might need to trim the inner edge of the hatch door so the frame sits flush?

[@paullydca]

50/50 mix of ATF and acetone, mix it shake it good, drip it on the rusted bolts. that will crack thsoe bolts loose better then any off shelf penetrating oil

[@seancanoy]

[@jasonwandzura6922]

Jake, make a plywood frame to fill in the gaps. painting the frame black would also help hide the difference.

[@gordo608]

If you use a piece of 3/4" treated ply to make a plate that matches the Jeep contours then cut away the excess you might have a workable solution for the hatch... my first thoughts anyway. Good luck

[@jakesweeney3784]

Look in to Astro vans and I think some of the S10 Blazers had tailgates get the Front sliding window out of a topper and get the Plastic Plywood from Menards and make one I’m in Chippewa Falls if you need hand
