V16E2: Getting the Jeep Back Into Shape

[@mikemcgeehan4321]

Another good show. The how to is a big help.

[@OCMike]

dirtying up the brand new panel gave me a chuckle. 🤣🤣

[@krisg3984]

My thoughts too 😆 now it just needs a few splashes of coffee to christen it !💕👍

[@TheTrakker]

Me too!😃

[@ericcarlson3499]

Getting your rig all squared away...we all get it. Keep us posted,Sir

[@hanlee9129]

So sorry for your loss.

[@rasalas2x]

Thanks for all your content. You do an excellent job relating the joys and the trials and tribulations of life off the beaten path. A little hint regarding your zipper is a spray can of pure silicone. It works miracles on zippers whether on apparatus or clothing without damage to the surrounding materials. It is also good on rubber door seals and prevents them from freezing in the winter as well. Enjoy the summer.

[@luzrucci5534]

Good to see you again . Sorry about mom and hope Orangy makes you feel at home again. God bless

[@scottymac5174]

Glad to see Orangie back out on the trails again! Roots Bro!

[@krisg3984]

a few more videos from your home base is fine. Take your time Chris. Gas prices are enormous right now and your Dad probably appreciates your company

[@rodspov1915]

Glad to see an old friend back in action. Can't wait for what's to come. Gas prices are indeed ridiculously high.

[@amyferguson5679]

Chris, my husband and I want to express our deepest sympathies on the passing of your mother, I know the loss of parents personally too:/ I have to tell you how much you have inspired us over the years, so much so that my husband Tom has taken off in his Jeep and has been on the road for over a month exploring our beautiful USA 🇺🇸 I have visited him during his journey and am actually with him now while we explore Idaho and Montana! Live is too short to put off adventures and making new relationships and bring tied down to a physical address! I just need to figure out remote work 👩🏼‍💻 to help supplement our income :)) Thanks again Chris and Shannon … adventure is afoot!

[@AndrewTurner251]

I love seeing the orange Jeep again, I’ve missed seeing it on the channel.

[@pattymiller2160]

Even though you didn’t venture to any particular location it was one of your better videos. Orangie needed a little TLC.

[@scottymac5174]

I agree on your ARB Awning review. The new ones are either too short or too long.

[@Mrnoth3m]

I am trying to understand why I like watching this channel so much, it has definitely gotten better over the years, the clarity and the storytelling are everything… It might be also how he opens up the space and gives me a full perspective of the Jeep. Making the camera a set of eyes as if you are right there with him. Also calm an collected

[@dmwi1549]

Relaxing.

[@ejp9921]

LMAO…making a new panel dirty…yet cleaning everything else…Luv It!

[@chuckzechman7390]

Cool to see you visited Boyertown. We live on the opposite end of Berks county, but always enjoy visits to Boyertown. We'll have to check out the coffee shop you visited. Safe travels and God Bless!

[@nothingtoseaheardammit]

Hey Chris - a little tip on the awning zipper for a sailor whose had to deal with YKK zippers in saltwater environments - Every couple of weeks take a stick of bar soap and run it back and forth across the closed zipper. When you go to open - it will be nice and smooth.

[@veedubya4636]

My condolences on the loss of your mother. Glad to see you and Orangie back together.

[@jf6395]

you have a wonderful approach to roaming, your Mom will always be along when so you wish

[@timtime1412]

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss of your mother. My condolences ,I hope she’ll always be with you on your travels.

[@FatCity654]

Good to see you back. Sorry to hear of your loss. God bless.

[@brandons3624]

I was super happy to see this video come out! I really like the Defender truck, but seeing Orangie back in the spot light brought back the excitement that is inspiring. I really like your video style Chris! Keep up the good work, and see you next week!

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

I BET YOUR GLAD TO BE BACK HOME WITH ORANGIE ! PLUS ORANGIE MISSED YOU TOO ❤

[@jiffijoff9780]

Haha, I'm honest... Dirtying the dash piece was one of the funniest moments in your entire series (of course: everyone's mileage may vary). Super method to match colors and look... Kinda like aging stuff for movies. 👍☀️ On the other hand: the mold in Orangy was one of the scariest moments in your series. Holy cow, almost all the interior, would have scared the s*** out if me. Being just an occasional overlander I regularly setup a fan inside out 4x4 just to keep the air flowing. Two random tips: - regard the awning: use a block of soap and grind it into the zippers teeth. The zipper will operate smoothly afterwards. - regarding replacing the old USB charger: we had the same issue and decided to replace the builtin charger with a standard 12v cigarette jack. Those 12v USB charger plugs have become so tiny, we just plug one flat into the 12v jack and replace it easily in case of failure or technical update without having to remove the dashboard. Plus: another 12v jack is always of use for many applications if needed. Thanks for your wonderful series, you have become one of my personal favorites on YT 🍀❤️👍

[@Perry3377]

The grieving process is never easy but necessary. Celebrating the life of the one we have lost. Reconnecting with family and friends.... And Orangey!! Safe travels Perry

[@MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI]

Life’s an adventure! As long as we keep moving forward!

[@staleyexplores]

relic'ing car parts...this is a new thought process for me, ty for breaking my brain today. glad orangey is back!

[@scottb4122]

I laughed out loud while you were rubbing dirt on the new dash panel to help it match! Totally something I would have done also.

[@adjake1]

Hope to see you stick around the east for a bit

[@SOCALOC4x4]

Like your vids, lost my Mom Sept, 3 2021 :( Stay strong

[@ronsmith1364]

Like to suggest a portable steam cleaner & baking soda. Then a Sun baking with a good vac to finish for the cloth effected areas. Hope the YT lore is beneficial for this too. Was trying to think of a method to really zap the spores & growth & the steam cleaning thought dropped. Bol with this orangy iteration & looking forward to the almost a 2track in remote places with great waterfalls to come. Not alone in losing that Maternal presence in '22, My Condolences to you & your Family.

[@erichughes9098]

Can’t wait for more Adventure, best wishes to you and yours 😎👍

[@JRBUSNA02]

Born and raised in Boyertown myself, glad to see you back home. Condolences to your family.

[@knightscape]

We paired our 67 designs rail with ESR Halo Lock MagSafe charger mounts. 67 designs got us 20mm to 17mm ball adaptors to make it happen. Works really well… strongest magnetic mount I’ve ever used! Works for rock crawling at the OHV park as well.

[@TheCabrooster11]

Glad that “Orangie” is getting the maintenance and subtle upgrades, great that you’re doing some eatery/coffee shop reviews they’ve become an appreciated regular in your episodes

[@rickbuchanan5762]

Orangie is making an overdue comeback! MAN I love that Jeep. Get some cool seatcovers while you're getting the seat repairs done Chris. I'm glad you're getting some family time, too.

[@davidlorrain1606]

I see your vehicles are now registered in Texas… I moved to Dripping Springs TX a yr ago from Vermont and was just surprised to see TX plates on your rides!

[@timberdogz]

I was just at Longacres for ice cream! Love that place. Orangie is shaping up. I’m enjoying the process of getting the jeep back in shape for adventure!

[@daisuke8872]

8:15 You blew my mind, Chris!

[@boostenmkiv]

My mom used to always say, life is uncertain, eat dessert first!

[@jasontaylor9871]

Now that Orangie is back in action, feel free to have the Landy shipped to my place, in Virginia It's about 20 minutes from me to BROG. I'll take good care of it.

[@thecorpsofdiscovery]

good to see the jeep coming back to life.

[@tfcooks]

Hi Chris. Isopropyl alcohol at 70% to 80% in a spray bottle is good for removing mold and mildew in porous surfaces like a headliner. Best of luck.

[@jamiesonpea1981]

The sound cue of the awning zipper right after fueling was just about perfectly subtle humor of feeling torn open at the fuel pump.

[@chrisg1234fly]

Just under $7 per US gallon for petrol here in South Africa.

[@jiffijoff9780]

$8.9 per gallon for diesel in Germany...

[@ranchmathez]

Je suis désolé pour le décès de ta maman. ..courage. et très content de revoir Orange. Toujours un bon moment de te suivre depuis la Suisse. ..

[@Topo42mh]

Don't know if you need the intro... like the way you started off with just peace and quite most times. Glad to see back at it with the Jeep though!!

[@theresabelekevich3776]

It's good to see you back and that things are slowly moving in a forward direction for you. Love it that Orangie is back in order! Keep sending those videos! 🤗🤗🤗 Michael & Theresa

[@postxtito]

You're mom is very proud of who you are Chris, and she misses you dearly too

[@matthewmacdonald4049]

Thanks Chris love your videos they Sean to fill my need for adventure. As my adventures has change in the past two years with a having a son. Hopefully they someday are family will be ave to have some of the adventures you get to have every day

[@LoganGibson]

Hey Chris, if you want to get the full charging power out of that USB outlet, use a step-up converter to send 24v to it. Then the QC Features actually works well.

[@RonStanek]

Take time with your family members Chris. The adventures continue on, wherever you may be. With all the adventures you've given all of us, You have the right to be at home now, with family. Just as your mom is at, all of ours, true home. Though, I bet she will still enjoy watching the rest of your life's adventure's afoot! Hang in there Kid! We all Luv'ya. Whatever the day may bring. And that's usually everyday life. To everyone else.... Yes....there is..

[@lizsteck3462]

Glad to see Orangie making it's way back! Thoroughly enjou your anvetures. We are from Douglassville. Our sincerest condolences to you and your family,

[@h-man2561]

My 2nd video of yours that I watched. Touching review where your mom 👩 grew 🌷 up. 🙏 Liked the Jeep check list & repairs you did. The high gas ⛽ price to zipper 🤐 was creative too!

[@masonstruckadventure9368]

I love my ARB AWNING. Thanks for sharing

[@TheRidgerunner1959]

Good to see Orangie getting ready for action. There is something new in your format, I like it!

[@tauraisithole358]

Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing

[@fuoffroadandoutdoors1020]

Just cleaning and prepping your vehicle can be an adventure!

[@michaelm4514]

I got a good laugh when you put dirt on your new panel to make it match with the rest of the jeep.

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

Yeah it's good you're getting it back on the road. Getting it all cleaned up and staying with your family for a while. You got to support your dad. That is for sure family first. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

[@tomcentrilizer]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 finaly back on the Jeep 💪🏻

[@nickingvolboth]

Love the maintenance episodes!!!!

[@tim_g3478]

Chris and Shannon, nice to see you exploring in your old home turf. Shannon is good at asking questions to draw out Chris’ inner knowledge like “what did you like about Boy Scouts?” 😂. Coffee, bagel sandwiches and ice cream… I’m good with that!

[@kenbaker4528]

A little silicone spray on that awning zipper would help.

[@Earlywinters09]

I love all of your content, but Orangy inspired me to get my own JK Wrangler ("Jeepy"), so I'm delighted to see it back up and running

[@VelcorHF]

Try some silicone oil on that arb awning zipper. That’s what I use on my tents.

[@laytonhaese7888]

I never thought of that ... make the rest dirtier to cover up for the too clean ... LOL that's the ticket!

[@BRADH-xw8sw]

Thanks Chris - my iPad Note looked different from yours on the iPhone. Droid does have anything like it either.

[@search4truth104]

Never realized how much I missed the JEEP.. Yeah its back in action.

[@christianwood7432]

Chris. My Condolences. Glad you and orangie are back. You mentioned getting new goose gear. Interested in selling your old stuff?

[@indahbordir]

Good job

[@mestallbaumer]

Have you thought about upgrading the stereo to one that contains Apple CarPlay? You could run Gaia GPS off of that instead of needing an iPad.

[@debskeith]

You touched on the cost of fuel at the beginning of your video Chris….just be thankful you don’t have to fill up in the UK😳

[@carlosacosta5345]

Buy a ozone generator oet it run inside the jeep for a few hours for a coupe days that will take care of the mold

[@brucel399]

I'll take an order of those ice creams to go. Just toss them in the Winnebago freezer and you can drop them off on you way through Colorado. Bahahaha. Glad to see Jeep back up an running. Safe travels. Until next time.... CHEERS from Colorado

[@gilbertarnold8666]

Great video thank you!

[@leshiye]

Longacres for the win! Be Well Folks.

[@nosnerd1967]

Jeep looks like it got fully detailed

[@nosnerd1967]

U should consider the same head unit brad ( from Trail Recon ) installed a short while back …

[@eugeneenslow8563]

You'll need to post your suggestion on Chris's fb page.

[@pkweisel]

8:11, I’m with ya Monk. Enjoy your content. Safe adventures…

[@onasledoverland]

Thanks for the continuous inspiration Chris.

[@r93364]

Great to see the jeep back I just got a 2013 gecko special addition and I love it

[@eddiemegonnell3429]

love from P.A.

[@explore_off_road]

Hope your dad is doing well. Send our Condolences .... Great to see Orangy back. "What's the plan with the Rover?" I figured I'd add to the questions your already receiving and wait for the video to answer said question. Though you may answer it in this video, I'm only at 7:02

[@happycamper1687]

P.S. How many inches of foam for your new mattress are you planning on?

[@johnfulater2945]

Question - if you are getting a tablet for GPS software does it need to have cell service for the GPS to work or wifi version?

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

HI CHRIS 👋 WHAT DO YOU USE TO CLEAN THE ZIPPER OF DIRT & DUST ?

[@johnwalker3263]

It really hurts having to run that card twice on a fill up, but it’s nice to know when the tank goes dry you can push a button and get 3/4 of a tank of gas!

[@Quadrille763]

Excellent

[@war113]

Price here of gas in canada...converted of course: 6.36$ US per gallon.

[@nosnerd1967]

Plz accept our condolences 💐

[@Infantry4Life.WarFighters]

It is 6.61 in valencia ca.

[@nevcowpoke1482]

Orange’e Oh wow I’ve missed you! 🍊

[@thehickspanic8646]

Good to see the jeep again, sorry about your mom. I saw you had lil zipper issues with awning, try rubbing a bar of soap on zipper every now and then or wd-40 silicone. Soap always readily available lol

[@thomasjones613]

Did you move to Texas? I noticed the Texas plates on the Jeep.

[@blackbeard308]

You're blessed adventure is always a foot

[@sierramantrvlnus]

Yay!!!

[@metaxaanabeer]

Coming at you from Canada's mold capital of the world, that stuff is difficult and a bit dangerous to remove. If you can find a headliner at an auto wrecker you will be miles ahead. It cleans up on hard surfaces but your headliner...I dunno. Check with your upholstery /mattress guy, she or he may have an idea or two.

[@markymark903]

Making the new panel dirty....That seems a little o.c.d. : )

[@markperritte]

do they still make the clamp that you use on your iPad mini and what gen iPad do you use

[@4Whopper]

My man Chris dirtied his new Jeep panel. Legend.
