Overlanding Across Arizona in Jeep JL Wranglers on Nitto JL-Experience JLX REUNION Part 3

[@sonnicman]

Have mad respect for Harris. Huffing it up the trail in daylight, and wrenching at night.

[@gsheverything_2716]

I love seeing the togetherness on these videos, NO MAN LEFT BEHIND.

[@wayalife]

Awesome, thank you :)

[@beardedkountry]

The more of your videos i watch, the more i want to ge back into a jeep. I miss my TJ and i had a blast in that thing.

[@wayalife]

Glad to hear it and hope you do. 👍

[@souledoutrc8174]

Love this video especially when you guys came together to help out Harris with his axle shaft. You guys are awesome 👏 look forward to seeing your next video

[@wayalife]

Thank you, we're so glad that you enjoyed the video. We hope to have part 4 out soon.

[@NigelNaughton]

Man, you are a great friend to have. Everyone is already asleep but you stick around to see if your friends need help and dive right in to support them.

[@jackhook4192]

I always put my tire and wheel under it just in case it happens to fall it helps .awesome video and scenery but no shots when axel job was done bummer lol

[@curttundra]

okay this keeps sounding like a stuck record, but here it goes; epic video and editing. you guys do the best. can't get enough of this. thanks for the great content and learning! keep it coming.

[@wayalife]

So glad to hear it, thank you :)

[@desertmaverick7567]

Hey, it's good to see you guys out in my part of the country! Arizona has it all!

[@wayalife]

Always great wheeling out in your neck of the woods :)

[@OnMyMemoryCard]

Nothing like a bottle jack or a bottle of jack! Can’t wait for the next instalment!

[@wayalife]

Indeed!

[@jasonscott8373]

I live my life vicariously through this series when I can’t go wheeling with the rest of my friends😫

[@NOWELLSBLESSEDADVENTURES]

Thanks Cindy & Eddie for another great video. I love the way Jeep owners are always there to help another Jeep owner. We experienced the same kind of help when we broke our front axle on are JL while jeeping in Kingman Arizona. Keep up the great work.

[@wayalife]

Bummer that you broke an axle but glad to hear you had others with you eager to help out.

[@luisrodriguez3411]

Again.... i want that bottle jack Eddie second video i see you use it to help another friend. Great video guys.

[@AKArusty]

Another great video!! Thank goodness nobody got hurt when the jack gave way. Keep the awesome videos coming!

[@wayalife]

LOL - us too. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@billlagudas]

Been subscribed to you guys for more than a year now and I love your guys content. Keep up the great work guys! Wayalife!

[@wayalife]

Thank you. We're glad to hear you've been enjoying the videos we make :)

[@mikeking7388]

Good catch on the jack fail. scared the crap out of me lol awesome video!

[@wayalife]

LOL!! Scared the crap out of us too :)

[@casey3057]

Super close call. Surprised Harris didn’t just hold it up with his other arm and finish the job one handed...😏

[@wayalife]

LOL! No kidding!

[@SPARTAN-107]

That got me 😂

[@AndrewTurner251]

I agree that guy is a beast and seems like a super cool dude to hang out with. I bet that is one fun wheeling trip.

[@2ShoesPhoto]

That's what she said...

[@mayolegg]

Woah! Intense

[@bobwampler3387]

Awesome. Tough course. Beautiful scenery. Great brotherhood.

[@wayalife]

Thank you :)

[@jorgelrod]

WOAH!!! that close call was scary as hell!! Great video Eddie, keep them coming.

[@wayalife]

It was close for sure and a good reminder why you should never use a scissor jack to do work like this.

[@ChasingDreamsLivingLife]

Awesome.... What do you think the average size lift and tire was on this trip? This was amazing.

[@wayalife]

37" was the minimum requirement and I'd say, the average too.

[@dadbodshredsquad]

Anyone else find it ironic that the Nitto Tire Jeep isn’t running a spare tire? Haha, awesome videos as usual!

[@wayalife]

LOL - they were carrying one inside.

[@wayalife]

Cooper STT Pros really are great tires. The guy from Nitto didn't even say 2 words to us the whole time we were on the trip.

[@upwings]

Fine Job again Eddie and Cindy!! That looks like something I would be comfortable doing!

[@wayalife]

Thank you, we're so glad to hear it :)

[@1uptospeed]

looks like eddie will add a jack stand to his recovery gear , he already has good jack along with the locktight. great team work guys,

[@wayalife]

Nah, a tire under the frame rail and a good bottle jack is all you really need.

[@anthonynelson4756]

My favorite JLX video so far 😀

[@wayalife]

No kidding - thanks :)

[@brandonbrown8246]

Good eye on seeing that start to go! I cringe at that stuff a few seconds earlier he was partly under there... Had the same thing happen to me with one of those jacks I was sitting with my legs under the vehicle with the axle between my legs, luckily I had put the tire under the chassis and it only dropped a couple inches. It still hurts to think about where that would’ve hit me!!! 😬

[@greensmokeAT]

That deer experience was badass. Very rare for them to walk up... so dope.

[@carebear2272]

Not if they have been feed by people in places like that, it’s very common in popular Campgrounds and Parks it’s dangerous for wild animals and people.

[@wayalife]

As mentioned, it turns out that people feed the deer and elk at the place we were staying. It really is sad as most end up starving over the winter as they no longer know how to forge for food.

[@carebear2272]

Salt licks are ok, I have at least three black tails rest in my yard daily, mean to get a salt mineral lick out for them.

[@unchainedq6939]

Buying a bottle jack from your link now. Hope you get a little kickback. Love the vids. Thanks.

[@wayalife]

Awesome! Thank you :)

[@robertkalinofski6329]

Another super video Eddie! Love the background tracks Cindy. Friday good vibes all around. :)

[@wayalife]

Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed our video :)

[@mlangfelder]

Great video! You rolled right through my backyard (Prescott Az!).

[@grisa12345]

How do you only have 90k subscribers? I don’t even own a Jeep (yet) and I’m on board. Keep up the great work-I hope you’re making some money on this content.

[@wayalife]

We're truly flattered you would say as much and glad that you enjoy our videos. Please share them with a friend :)

[@TheCuz117]

A great days adventure! Looking forward to seeing more, thanks guys!

[@wayalife]

Well, we're already hard at work on part 4 and hope to get it up soon :)

[@Nirvanaib]

Absolutely superb as usual!!! Great job Cindy, editing is fantastic! Eddie, narration is ALMOST as good as Morgan Freeman haha 👍🏻

[@wayalife]

LOL - so glad to hear you enjoyed our video :)

[@Intentsrig]

Cool! And thanks I was curious about the shaft lengths on the JL

[@wayalife]

Glad that we could share that bit of info with you :)

[@murphtahoe1]

Man...that was scary when the scissor jack gave way. Glad everyone was ok!

[@wayalife]

It sure was but the sad truth is, this isn't the first time we've seen this happen.

[@teddonley9594]

I work on the river pushing barges from St Louis to new Orleans. Towboats as they're called also have toilets designed for NBA stars lol love these videos !

[@wayalife]

Thank you, we're so glad you enjoyed them :)

[@jackhook4192]

I would of had to use my reserve gas cans .I only get 12 miles per gallon hwy on good days .my hemi loves its gas.

[@hangemhigh64lv]

Always great videos! Thank you for sharing.

[@wayalife]

So glad that we could share it with you and that you enjoyed it :)

[@stealtheli]

The Guy who said; Crown and coke. He always makes me laugh. Bear Claw Pass in the Colorado video makes me laugh also. Great Job.

[@wayalife]

LOL - oh yeah, Ali is a good guy :)

[@craigheller9053]

Outstanding as always!

[@wayalife]

Thank you :)

[@NotICON]

Nice video. The whole series looks awesome. Hopefully one day I can do stuff like this.

[@karmabitch5600]

That’s why I always keep the tire under the car when working on it. Jeep falling on a wheel is better than falling on your legs.

[@wayalife]

That is a good thing to do for sure. Using a bottle jack over a scissor jack or hi-lift is good as well.

[@karmabitch5600]

Wayalife haha yup, hi lift is always my last resort. But sometimes gotta make do with what you got. Can’t wait for part 4. And for when you guys get a Gladiator :p

[@wayalife]

As soon as we can get our hands on one :)

[@tfrye008]

Very nice! Great video as always.

[@wayalife]

Thank you. We really do appreciate it.

[@holstercraft1973]

You got fuel in wikiup, we hunt that area. That’s cool

[@greg1268]

Something tells me that deer has been around friendly humans. That was pretty cool. I literally had my mouth hanging open at the failed jack part! Obviously, that could have ended Harris's day on a bad note! Quick thinking to get out of the way. I would have been saying "What was th---"

[@christianwoodward3708]

You need to do a video of your tools that you always carry on the trail because every time someone needs a tool or part you have it. I am always trying to get my trail bag in the same shape yours is in

[@wayalife]

LOL!! I'll see what I can do :)

[@anotheraznguy]

Close call with that scissor jack. Glad no one got hurt.

[@wayalife]

Us too!! Definitely not the best tool to use to work on a Jeep.

[@williamkee7924]

I’m going to get a JL and keep it stock until I feel the need to lift it. I am amazed how capable these things are stock

[@wayalife]

Yup, extremely capable right out of the box.

[@greglewellen4510]

Looks like a lot of good times

[@wayalife]

Oh yeah, always a good time when we're out wheeling with our good friends :)

[@gilbertarnold8666]

Great video, thank you!

[@wayalife]

So glad you enjoyed it, thanks :)

[@miken9484]

I actually got scared for a sec when the jack gave way. I think I will definitely consider getting me a bottle jack.

[@wayalife]

You should be afraid and you should be carrying a bottle jack.

[@Dwillis2024]

Don't forget to chalk the tires too. Had my bottle jack tip over doing this exact same thing in my apartment parking lot. Never had it happen before that, but the slightest slope can make the Jeep roll forward and I'm glad I wasn't under it.

[@wayalife]

See 27:22 - those ARE wheel chocks that Harris is putting back into his Jeep. Just before the everything came down, you can HEAR a *PING* as the jack finally gave out.

[@q80aziz]

There is nothing like a jack stand to keep things on the level . Luckily no one was hurt 👍

[@wayalife]

Jack stand would have been great to have but kind of hard to carry with you on a trip like this. Luckily, nobody was hurt for sure.

[@q80aziz]

Wayalife Well maybe one of those folding type stands .

[@hole7612]

So stoked when I saw notification for this pop up! And for the love of God I always see it right when I’m about to go to bed. You guys are awesome!! BTW....Are you still loving the new auto?

[@wayalife]

YES!!! The new 8-speed automatic IS maybe the single most awesome new feature on the JL especially when compared to the old JK.

[@mav204]

Think if you had the AEV jack bass Stand you might not have had the jack fail, the AEV jack base stance gets about 2-3 inches higher and has a largest Stance making it more stable

[@wayalife]

It's possible. But, I personally wouldn't take my chances especially when I have a good bottle jack that I KNOW will get the job done and more safely.

[@AndrewTurner251]

I had a scissor jack break on me and the car fell the same way. I was on the side of the road. I am all about some bottle jacks now.

[@wayalife]

I can't tell you how many times I've seen this happen. It's why I always carry a bottle jack with me.

[@carebear2272]

Thanks Eddie and your better half! Can u or do u have any vids on death wobble, and those two dingalings that I like to watch are trying to figure it out and I thought u had a video on it but can’t find it....no hurry thanks, or I’ll look it up on your JL forum.

[@wayalife]

Just so that we're on the same page, "death wobble" as in, a violent and uncontrollable shaking of your entire Jeep and one that will only stop if you slow down. This as opposed to a bad shimmy in the steering wheel as that is NOT death wobble. We do not have any videos of death wobble being that I don't typically have it on my Jeep. Here is a link that you might find helpful though: wayalife.com/showthread.php/311-DEATH-WOBBLE-What-it-is-What-it-isn-t-and-What-You-Can-Do-to-Fix-it

[@carebear2272]

Thank u

[@stevelove8904]

I picked up a 12 ton bottle jack!! :-)

[@wayalife]

Awesome :)

[@alexandrelanglois4678]

Man I love watching your videos! You two are doing such an amazing job filming these trips and showing us just how hard the obstacle really is! The only thumbs Down I have goes to Jeep for making a jeep with such an annoyingly loud engine fan!

[@wayalife]

Thank you. We're so glad to hear you enjoy our videos :)

[@AdventurewithJK]

Hello!!! Love your videos. What's the name of these cabins and town they r in? Thanks and keep the vids coming!

[@wayalife]

Thanks, glad you enjoy them. Not sure what the cabins are called but they're up in the Hualapai Mountains just east of Kingman, AZ

[@AdventurewithJK]

@@wayalife thank you... making a list of places to see and stay;)

[@손정민-v8k]

Outstanding job awesome have a TGIF

[@hectorserrano7703]

Great video

[@wayalife]

Thank you :)

[@xzerbaluyot9994]

Eddie, what kind of jack do you use when out on the trails? I dont see a hijack on your jeep.

[@wayalife]

I carry a bottle jack. Much quicker and safer to use especially for simple things like changing a tire. Watch the first video in this series and you'll see it in action.

[@KiloLima]

Walking back to my computer with the episode already stared, not looking at the screen, I hear, "good morning, dear, it’s nice to see you". I swore Eddie had finally lost it and was having chats with his Jeep. I’m still not sure it won’t eventually happen. Worse comes to worse Eddie, there’s enough of us here that enjoy your work and will contribute to your psychotherapy fund. We won’t leave Cindy hanging. Traveling up to 60,000 miles a month (not by Jeep, obviously) with all sorts of notices on file with my bank, my credit card gets held and declined all the time. Nothing like not being able to buy a few provisions after a thirty hour flight. In the US I just step aside and wait for my bank to call. But they won’t call me internationally. However, Chase bank sends me a sms notice immediately that I can reply to and clear the issue in seconds. That works globally ... very nice. Eddie, Cindy, wonderful work as always. You’re such great presenters, entertainers, videographers, editors ... producers. Thanks for another enjoyable break in the day. Blue skies! K

[@wayalife]

LOL!! Now that's funny. So glad you enjoyed it.

[@austinyoo1794]

after a trail run like this do ou have to switch out tires and how many trails would you have to go one before switching out tires

[@wayalife]

Nope, no need to change tires. A good set will easily last 35,000 miles or more.

[@nopenope1194]

Great stuff Eddie, as usual! 😎 One question though. Bunch of ya have your license plates in the middle of the door now. Are they just leaving the spare tire at home? Carrying them inside now?

[@wayalife]

Nope, most were carrying their spare inside. Not my cup of tea but that's what they were doing.

[@shachar_shaty]

minute 14:28, what is sticking on the black plastic where the water sprinkler head for the front window ?

[@wayalife]

You mean the windshield isolators?

[@shachar_shaty]

@@wayalife It looks like something that guards the black plastic for the windshield from the sun . what is that ?

[@black_widow_overland]

What muffler are a few of the rigs running? The blueish Nitto rig and the PSC. Any of those JLU running the 2.0 i4 turbo? Thanks

[@wayalife]

I think the JL's in question just had the mufflers removed. Also, the 2.0 turbo wasn't available back when all of us got our JL's.

[@black_widow_overland]

[@xzerbaluyot9994]

Nice video! Eddie when you buy your Gladiator, are you gonna get the 3.0 diesel or the 3.6 Pentastar?

[@wayalife]

While I'd love to have a diesel, there's no way I'm going to wait for one or pay the premium price for one.

[@xzerbaluyot9994]

that deer only came to get the keys to the jl lol

[@wayalife]

LOL!! I think you're on to something :)

[@atom31b]

Did it slide off the jack or did it fail? How did you guys know it was coming down?

[@wayalife]

Turn up your volume and watch it again. You should hear a *PING* sound just before everything came down. That sound was from the jack giving out.

[@atom31b]

@@wayalife that's really scary. Seems the jack is made as well as the exhaust hangers.

[@wayalife]

@Adam Bleech To be fair, they're made for a "stock" JL which weighs a lot less than a modified one AND sits a LOT lower too.

[@ronhenderson2016]

Does Harris work for Offroad Evolution?

[@wayalife]

Nah, he's just a good customer and one that's ready and willing to help when needed.

[@SoManyBasses]

Eddie, I have the same wheels. What center caps are those?

[@wayalife]

If you can believe it, they're just tube bumper end caps :)

[@keithsmith1214]

So what bottle jack do you have?

[@wayalife]

Honestly, it's a really old one that I bought from my local Napa autoparts store maybe 20 years ago or so.

[@TheRamie]

Great video as usual!! but im gonna assume Eddie was sick since he was wearing jeans in this video lol. jk.

[@wayalife]

LOL!! I think I was running out of things to wear.

[@johngrodski4158]

There is something about the Jeep community that will cause a group of men to change an axle shaft at 1030 at night. camaraderie!

[@wayalife]

LOL!! Always a good time when you're out wrenching with good friends - even in the middle of the night :)

[@mgpunya1]

I normally would put a tyre underneath..

[@ArtofHunter]

Reason why scissor jacks are deadly. Glad no one was hurt.

[@wayalife]

Yup. It's why I always recommend that people carry a good bottle jack instead.

[@eig8t_twitch]

why no 2 doors?

[@wayalife]

Because none of the participants owned one.

I usually don't comment, but this is how my dad died 4 years ago. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE use jackstands and put the tire/rim under the vehicle, even if you are on the trail. I know it's more to carry, but you don't want to lose someone like this.
