Heeee's back!!! I must admit, shamefully, that I unsubscribed a while ago as I thought your channel had pretty much died and I don't think you did a video explaining what was going on, as all your uploads were just reuploads of older trips you had done, but I'm glad you're back to the good ol' days of parking up in Orange. It's great to see the old Jeep is up and running again. Look forward to more content from you again in the coming months as I've subscribed again. Take care and all the very best.

Dude, we love orangie, but you can't sink any more money into it. IT'S TIME...find a new orange Rubicon, maybe a few miles on it, and transfer everything over to it. We'll put Orangie #1 in the 4WD hall of fame.

I was the guy waving hard in the Green JK. Your videos are still sooo fun to watch. Safe travels and what ever vehicle you are in..more power to you....👍

Morning Chris, I completely understand how you’re feeling about Orangie, he’s an old pal that’s been there for you no mater what… They say if you want to grow you must go beyond your comfort zone, however I’m not so sure that applies to vehicles. If it works why change it… I’ve got some memories of my past vehicles as well, and I wish I had some of them back. Orangie works, there’s no reason to change. Stay safe, enjoy your Valentine.

Your right, we missed Orangy. Its great to see her again. Ya, you have a list of comments... But it still looks great. It's amazing to think if the life it has led, and its still on the trail today ... With a few (to be expected) wear and tear issues. Some mighty fine driving up those rutts! They looked big on video ... Which means they were REALLY big in real life.

I had the AEV lift on my JK and after 50,000 miles I switched over to Falcon 2.0 shocks. That was a massive improvement in the ride and handling of the JK, both on and off road. For a new adventure - have you gone from Mammoth to Wilcox on the Rug Road to Klondyke Road trail? It is an over night trail with some amazing scenery and wildlife. It can be done in either the Jeep or the pickup truck.

I’m excited to see more of Orangie again. I’ve been watching since 2019 and went back and watched from episode 1. As a Jeep owner myself, I know I’m biased, but I really enjoy the feel of adventure watching you take her places many can’t get to. Maybe even when you push your level of comfort with obstacles a few times over the years! 😁 I’d like to see more collaboration with small channels and meet new enthusiasts on your travels!
@blackpearlvoyager41747 ай бұрын
Chris, if you are considering re-springing orangie and using the AEV suspension product, you might consider their heavier duty spring set for vehicles that are slightly overloaded. I also added a spring arc correction plate to the front and that will straighten your front springs and prevent them from bulging outward and providing a more linear compression. This is worked out well on my overweight Gladiator. I hope it works for you should you consider doing the same. 🤙🏼
