What’s the Build Plan for My Sons Jeep Wrangler Willys?

[@jordi011170]

A little something to help with this build

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you so much for the support, you have no idea how much it means to us!

[@felicelgato59]

I'm a retired army veteran and like jeeps but like Harleys, I think they are a money pit. So I prefer to watch your channel 😆

[@UnicornsDontHaveNipples]

@@TrailReconPlease help, I need advice. I just bought a 2014 Willys 2 door that was driven in the North. There’s a lot of rust underneath. The stock shocks are even rusted. I have 7 days to return. Should I and avoid the headache? For reference, mind is worst than what you showed in your vid. It has 65k miles.

[@larryhardie7114]

I've been following you for a long time now. As many have mentioned, having the whole family involved is amazing, and I have to say that I think a lot of your success is due to the closeness of your family. While I began watching for the wheeling and overlanding, I kept watching because of you've kept the whole family involved. You are a great role model for your viewers. Thank you!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you so much! I'm very fortunate that Regena and my boys share my same passion and it's a privilege to be able to share our time in the garage and on the trail with you all.

[@HenryHollingworth]

The 0623 tag is the annual safety inspection in Hawaii! Awesome thing to see on there, especially a recent one. It was probably owned by someone in the military that got transferred back to the mainland! Might be a little surface rust but the wear and tear on parts is going to be pretty low with the low speeds on island! Nice find!

[@HenryHollingworth]

Forgot to mention if you wanted to keep the tag on the back of the Jeep they do make a bracket that bolts behind the license plate to get it up out of the way

[@J.Young808]

Yeah that is a really recent Safety Check Sticker as it would still be valid.

[@OscarTheJT]

Love seeing people build the two doors. Can't wait to see the journey with this one. Congrats to your son on his new ride.

[@rubiconadventurewithscotty3258]

Why does Brad always get stuck with huge "project cars"? I think there may be more work than meets the eye here, must stay tuned!

[@OscarTheJT]

@@rubiconadventurewithscotty3258 With all these newer vehicles having so many electronic controls for everything, all of them are bigger projects than we like to believe. Sounds like they have a pretty solid foundation with that Willys edition, though.

[@benoitcomeau2478]

Just bought a black 2017 willys with 38 000 KM!!!!! That's 23 000miles I can't wait to see yours beeing built

[@TheAeyyyyy]

That tag on the back is for a safety check. It's required yearly to get registration for the vehicle. Goes through basic safety items on the vehicle: turn lights, brakes, headlights.... 🤙

[@Overlanding_Junky]

You talked about covering the rear speaker when building a floor, if you remover the floor cover the speaker is set lower, when you cover the whole floor area, there is plenty of air around the speaker to keep it cool, and the sound comes in fine, that's how mine is so I can say covering it is not a problem. Nice rig.

[@christopherchapman7453]

I have the exact same jeep 2015 willys 2 door that just turned 25,000 miles today. I put a 2.5 inch lift with 2020 rubicon wheels and tires and it goes anywhere I want to go. Congrats on your new rig!!

[@keithcroshaw]

I really hope to have this with my children as they grow up and realize the work I was putting in with them to explain the outdoors and different ways to enjoy them with a cool vehicle.

[@jdenmark1287]

Aloha, it’s the safety inspection sticker. Hawaii is one of fourteen states that require annual/semi annual safety inspections.

[@bah5310]

Nice. I put 255/85 on my 03 TJ Rubicon. I ordered custom coil springs from a company Kansas that were an inch and a half taller than stock and had them increase the weight rating for the new bumper and winch. It has crank windows and no electronic sway bar disconnect also. Have fun on the trails.

[@charlesboetel1324]

Put jkur springs and shocks in, then 285 tires. A friend of mine did that to his yellow jku 6 sp 2 door with good results overlanding.

[@purleybaker]

That's a good looking Jeep. I'm really looking forward to watching it progress.

[@lilmoore98]

I also have a 2015 willys but in firecracker red, love it and can't wait to see where ya'll take the build.

[@J.Young808]

As Henry Hillingworth said the 0623 is the annual Safety Check Sticker. It has the Hawai’i license plate on it so you can see what the plate used to be. Definitely the reason the Jeep only has 55,xxx miles is that it was on an Island.

[@robert5712]

The limited slip deferential is very good and a big upgrade from a sport. Good video Brad and Devon great to see you guys out on the trail and making plans for the new Jeep.

[@charlesboetel1324]

Sports can have the ls d44

[@americanrambler4972]

Like the yellow Willys wrangler. I personally think many people are so focused on heavy loaded up unlimited 4 doors, they are missing out on the basic goodness of the lighter shorter two doors. More light weight, more nimble, overall less costly. I hope they 2 door wrangler continues to stick around. A base sport is pretty darn good. All it really needs is a limited slip rear differential and your good to go almost anywhere.

[@carolinagirl4483]

Congratulations to your son and “2” door Jeep! You have a wonderful family!

[@jeffwestbrook2504]

It’s the yearly safety inspection tag that is required to register your vehicle each year . So it would expire June 2023 .

[@ndafarachaitezvi1139]

Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@dr7319]

I hope you wait a while before installing that rear locker on the Willys. I've yet to see a decent video of a Wrangler Limited-slip vs locker. That'd make for a great video. Keep up the great content!

[@Ottercreekoverland]

3” Tera Flex lift and 33” BFG At ko would be a perfect set up

[@chadprice5718]

Aboutsoly love the channel, got my first wrangler last week super excited it a 2016 unlimited sahara backcountry addition (purple) lol. I'm totally new to the off-road your son's build sounds almost exactly what I want to do.

[@philiptait7334]

Looking forward to seeing this build. You know the best times are with Dad's and Son's with cars.

[@TrailRecon]

Oh ya, in the garage or on the trail we've made some incredible memories over the years.

[@blueduster74]

Second trail I ever did was Coyote canyon back in the early 90s. Other than the water crossing getting moved, I don’t think it’s changed much.

[@brandofamily]

Not sure if it has been mentioned but the Sports versions did also come w the Dana 44 rear axle and mine had the limited slip unit also. Be aware that the limited slip clutches wear out pretty quickly and some believe this wear is what leads to chipped and broken pinion gears. I experienced that with my 2015.

[@joezephyr]

Keep it stock! It is perfectly capable!

[@brooktech7869]

Amazing Brad, I can’t wait for even more content. He says he doesn’t want 39s now but wait until time sets in lol.

[@collinkelch7764]

Looks like there is going to be a lot of fun. Very interested in what quick disconnects you choose, I’m also on the hunt and the market seems a little light right now on robust options.

[@TrailRecon]

Thanks! Not sure what quick disconnects we'll go with, but we'll be sure to share all the upgrades along the way.

[@jeremynolan4972]

I just went for the Apex AutoLynx on my 2dr JL. They're pricey, but an absolute breeze to use! Just a flick of a switch and they're connected or disconnected, so I find myself using them much more frequently than I would other options, especially to help with ride quality on washboard and bumpy roads. Would definitely recommend those if you are willing to stomach the cost.

[@zd533]

I did the Apex for my Mojave as well and I am really happy with them. Being able to disconnect and reconnect and not have to be on perfectly flat ground is very convenient

[@andrewtippitt6469]

A decent budget disconnect is a Rubi take off with an Evo manual knob. The down side is you have to climb under the vehicle. The positive is its just the one knob. I'm lazy. And this was the easiest option. Just took it off my Sport and it will be getting reinstalled on to my Willys as soon as it arrives. Wayalife has a video on it if it's any interest.

[@shawncombs2199]

Love the Apex also! 3 years strong and super easy

[@debbieparry9267]

So excited to see this build! I recently purchased a 2017 2 door and the build I’m planning is pretty similar to Devon’s 😀 Congrats young man!

[@bradmiller2464]

Wayalife put a rubicon sway bar with a manual lock. Much better than disconects.

I can’t wait follow this build. My son loves to wheel with me and we have some plans for his Jeep. Congratulations on the new acquisition to the family!

[@TrailRecon]

Nothing better than family time on adventures, cherish every moment with your son out there!

[@geographyinaction7814]

Hey fella's, great video. Just a reminder, that anything you add to this Jeep, you, tank of fuel, suspension upgrades, shocks, bigger tires etc. will all have to be deducted from the payload amount. I am guessing without even knowing what you will be doing, that you may end up with 400#'s or less for gear. When you, if you remove the rear seat, simplify the stereo, you will want to have it off when four-wheeling anyways, will give you some payload back. Of course the moment you add heavier bumpers, you're losing that window of flexibility. I am trying to plan a 2dr build myself, and it is bloody hard to get it right. Remember, you CANNOT increase payload, the payload from factory is it. If you add springs etc. you do not gain payload, you lose it as the net weight differential must be subtracted from the payload. Best of luck and nice Jeep there fella! Cheers, Mike from Canada.

[@lukelabagood7896]

[@venture.explore.discover]

Looking forward to this build! I understand the issues with building a 2-door for overlanding/longer trips. I’m currently building a 2008 JK that we’ve already driven NC to CO, and space can definitely be an issue. Looking forward to seeing what you do.

[@ethanhowell7760]

this is mirroring me and my dad's off-road builds. I started with a 6 speed 2 door JK sport in 2018 and just got done putting a rubi transfer case in it. also did 35" tires, and those genright flares. It'll be cool to follow you and your son's adventures in the near future.

[@Stuka87]

All 08-18 JK's had a D44 in back. Only 07 had a D35. The difference is that Rubicons have the 32 spline version of the D44. The non-Rubis have a 30 spline D44. What I did with my '08 2dr is I put on 4dr tow package springs with 1" spacers, which results in about 2.5" or lift. And then some adjustable lower front control arms to get the caster angle set back. All in the lift was only the price of the 1" spacers and the control arms, as I found the springs for free. Oh, and I used shock extensions from teraflex.

[@southernstar_offroad]

I’ve heard you say it a few times now. The Dana 35 was only used in 2007 on 2 door Jk models and is pretty rare to see. I’ve personally never seen one. 2008 and up jk’s had a new generation dana 44 in the rear.

That is the sticker for your annual inspection in Hawaii. If you start adding lift and such you have to get a RECON inspection as well.

Consider a 285/75R17 for tire size, which is just under a 34" tall tire.

[@johnnyverano1373]

2:15 I usually agree with everything you say Brad, “but”, I have to say Regena’s all yellow Jeep looks awesome. I love her yellow grill. But, if your son is anything like you his Jeep is going to get many upgrades and look completely different in a couple years. And your Jeep is absolutely beautiful, it’s my dream Jeep Brad.

[@MichaelApodaca]

Love it! Congrats on the new rig. The Willys trim is my favorite of the Wrangler/Gladiator platform because IMO they're the best mix of on-road convenience and off-road features. We loved our '09 2-Dr JK (just sold last year) and even though a base Sport model, we had 285/70R/17 Milestar Patagonia's with a small 2" lift and it was the perfect combo for daily driving. At ~32.7 x 11.2", it's just smaller than a 33" but doesn't require any modifications. So if upgrading the tires, I highly recommend going with that size on your Willys 2-dr. But regardless, I'm looking forward to the build and love seeing the whole family getting their rigs setup!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you! Keeping the streetablity of this Jeep is very important to Devyn, so not going crazy big with the tires.

[@Mac321gsjjeugev]

I think it would be cool to see no lift or maybe a leveling kit with high clearance fenders and 35” tires. I also like the set up Go4x4 I think it is something you would both appreciate.

[@malifestro3319]

A small lift with some Falcon shocks (or similiar) that has longer droop in the same package or slightly longer would help with wheel travel. Going to a 33" sounds smart with that gear ratio. Without lockers he will be fine with a ton of things so long as he can flex out. Keeping the wheels on the ground is the first task.

[@LivingTheDreamUSA]

Hi Brad, Congrats to your son on the new Jeep JK! We look forward to seeing that build. Safe travels, gentlemen! -Ryan

[@melvinjensen978]

Brad, I think your son's vision for the Wrangler is great and it is how I built my TJ with a modest lift and small tires. He wants to keep the streetability, Smart. He might definitely enjoy an AT tire better. I am running 33s on my 99 TJ which I think is the perfect size for the Wrangler to be able to drive it everyday and I can still tackle the trails. I am sure he will be happy with a mild soft lift and a set of 33s ATs. That should be perfect for him. A winch is a necessity so good suggestion. Doubt he will need the lockers, the limited slip should be fine for his light wheeling that he will do. You seem to be pushing him to build it where it doesn't seem like he wants to. Definitely help him upgrade the stereo components and maybe add a sub. Many Wranglers are built to the point of not being practical to drive every day. Your son sounds like he really has a vision and knows which way he wants to go with it. Let him follow his vision of what he wants without too much pressure to build. I seen a few 2 door Wrangler owners rip the passenger seat out to build a platform to sleep on. Interesting to see what he deicides. Then again, a tent and mattress pad is all you really need to overland. I love the channel, Navy Veteran here as well. Keep up the great videos, I wish I could get out there and wheel as much as you do.

[@explorationoverland]

Congrats, Devon on the Jeep. You will have a lot of fun with it. I recently moved back to the mainland from Hawaii 2 months ago. As a precaution, you might want to check under the carpet of the Jeep. Hawai, it's very common to have no top on, and it rain. Or people get in or put wet objects into it. I saw many people have rusted floor boards on their Jeep. Also just wanted to toss this out there, the Molley Panel Solutions overhead rack could be a great way to add some storage to your jeep. You could mount things to it to help with some space issues.

[@petersantulli2337]

This is awesome! This will be my favorite build as I drive a 2016 dr Sport S. Crazy car prices as I paid same amount for a loaded Sport S, 5 years ago, but in this economy good price! I've currently for 2.5" lift, 35x10.5 tires and the ride is great. Can't wait to see what you guys do!!!

Another Yellow one in the family, and the birthday thing was pretty cool ... it was a sign! ... we got a JL for the wife, and we're going only 2.5" lift and 33's. 35's just look too big for me, for when she starts to get to the stage of flexing out... she's still learning. You guys are talking about seats?! Where do you go for that? (What brand) ours are really new and would be waaaay down the road ... but my (88) Cherokee really needs some help.

Watch out for that limited slip in the rear diff. I’ve owned a 16 and 18 Willys wheelers, the the limited slip clutches wore out before 50,000 miles and caused the spider gears to chip and break. That was with moderate wheeling. Ended up going to Detroit true tracs and Yukon gears

Oh my a Jeep from Hawaii! I'll bet the cooling system is in serious need. Don't forget to add to "Coolant Flush" to your list of tasks. It is a known Jeep weak point and I'll bet the heater circuit has been neglected in Hawaii so perhaps consider a royal garden hose flush of that circuit using the house's 60psi. Then follow your serious moustached mechanic and only use H2O from Distilled water and the Jeep specific coolant (Orange OAT for my 2018 JKUR). OAT is one product I actually buy at the dealer, it is quite specific.

Got it rebuilt then threw long arms and 35s and the Jeep hated it. I ruined that Jeep using it as a daily. So I bit the bullet and traded it in for a 2018 rubicon JL 2 door. I miss my 2006 LJ and I’ll own another one but this 2018 is just so amazing. 33’s, mopar Steele bumpers all the way around. Just threw a warm winch in it too. It’s crazy capable and I don’t need to worry about it leaving my stranded like my 2006 did on more than one occasion.

I love your sons new to him Jeep. I bought in May ‘21 a 2017 2dr Jk silver with about 35K miles on it. Originally it was for $25,500 but dealer brought the price down for me to $23,000 and I have manual windows and locks and I love it. I honesty do even miss power windows and locks lol. I upgraded to 33’s on my jeep and no lift yet, it will be a small lift lol. Well anyway Congrats to your son and best of luck and I cant wait to see what he does to his new baby.🎉
