You can imagine Dennis giving a test paper to Alex and Kelsey on jeep codes and options.

[@donaldbertini7969]

It makes my day every time I go to the tube and see a new Walk. Dennis, you are the Best!

[@04dram04]

I think Dennis alone, is a big part of why there is a demand for classic cars

[@richardm1183]

Honestly I love watching these videos, your knowledge and passion is such a pleasure to see. I just wish i knew more about all the codes. At times its like an alien language

[@JeepTJWheelin]

We have to start somewhere.

[@jhrsmail]

I prefer you to talk to us, Dennis... Nothing against Alex.. he can talk to us to. Love your knowledge on .... everything 👍😁

[@John-lu3yq]

Another good start to the weekend really enjoy the Jeep "Show and Tells" great video as usual Thank you!

[@ecw13pi]

I'm not even a Jeep guy and enjoy these videos! Come on Dennis get Alex his own shirt with his name on it unless you want us to start calling him "Lil Dennis"!?

[@davidbarnsley8486]

Good work as usual The best thing about a rotisserie is when you weld the hot bits don’t drop on you and burn you

[@bohumilcerny3830]

Always great resourcefull videos by Dennis and his team. Now is good to see Alex being more brought into the game. Great ambassadors of the Jeep brand.

[@chargingcharlielarockjr.9404]

My knowledge on vin numbers,build sheets and good coffee are off the charts thanks to Dennis Collins. Thank you for these great videos. Keeping my sanity up during this pandemic

[@justinbrown7008]

Dennis is the reason I can’t find a clean CJ in California 😂😂. Not mad though. He does what I couldn’t afford to do to them. Side note... I would live in their shop if they’d let me. Awesome videos and history of these beautiful machines.

[@1982MCI]

I’m beginning to think Alex is actually Dennis’s son, he’s sure being groomed to be a “mini me” more than the average lucky joe!! He’s one of the luckiest guys on earth right now tho to have the opportunity to be taught by the legend himself!!! Soak it all up like a sponge Alex, not many EVER get this opportunity!! I’m proud of ya, but now go make Dennis proud too!!

[@d.riprock1546]

I was wondering just now if Dennis was his dad or not. It would be cool if he was but it's even cooler that he isn't. He seems like a responsible young man.

[@RipRider916]

That silver keep is what’s going on sun.

[@shineautomotive]

Love the title. Definitely too nice to paint

[@nachovalenti]

Awesome video as usual. Thanks Dennis for another great lesson.

[@keepnitsharp]

Dennis Collins Alex I hope you know that Dennis is preparing you for the future. Just sit and ponder on that for a while. You have what some of us consider a dream job.

[@gordongadbois1179]

AS FAR AS THE KITS GO I GUESS 'ALL OF THEM", CAN'T MISS WITH THAT ANSWER. THANKS FOR THE SHIRT.

[@kevintothe7375]

I just was lucky enough to buy a JK8....knew they were rare...but man...they are definitely needles in a haystack....especially in Canada. ....ironically I take it for coffee most says.....CHEERS jeepers!

[@kobyashee1832]

Thank you so much for this content. The passion you folks have for these American classics are evident in everything you do. The unbelievable knowledge base you are working from and the attention paid to the very finest minutiae of these wonderful machines is just stunning. I’m learning so much and am telling everyone I know about this channel.

[@abrahammitchell515]

You all probably dont give a damn but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost the login password. I love any tips you can offer me

[@malachirene5788]

@Abraham Mitchell instablaster :)

[@ahodamahingan1698]

Should sign out with “now, where’s my coffee”. I’m always making mental notes where Dennis leaves his cup.

[@donaldbertini7969]

That’s funny and.......true!

[@robust1941]

No, should be “Where’s my coffee assistant “

Or "ugh, now my coffee's COLD!!"

[@cummins12valve57]

As always a great video. Love the Dennis and Alex discussions

[@danthompson1467]

Man you have a tremendous amount of knowledge on keeps I can't get enough of watching what you do great job . Thank you for keeping it learning experience on every video

That Golden Eagle one of the cleanest Golden Eagles I've ever seen

[@fabioversari9710]

bella la laredo stupenda..!!!!!!!!! penso che fate delle magie farle ritornare così nuove !!!

[@POLARTECHED]

I wouldn’t mind paying for a Dennis shirt, would be a great thing to have in England! But I’m going to guess on the jk8 subject, 50 were made. Loving the coffee walks! Mr Collins, you are a top guy, a fountain of knowledge, and thank you for educating us all!

[@offduty170]

My guess - 108 kits actually built !!!

[@michaelashcraft8569]

I enjoy all the vehicles you do, but, the Jeeps are my favorite, I remember the Winter of 77-78 when some people paid off their Jeeps in one month!!!

[@cornishrider]

Excellent very interesting, really impressive your passion and attention to detail.

[@ourladynd3580]

A total of 223 were sold, less 80 were actually built ....trick question....lol 🙏🤷‍♂️

[@ufohunters4612]

Well done

[@fabioversari9710]

wow ogni dettaglio fatto con cura e passione ...sicuramente quando potro' averne una verrò sicuramente da voi a prenderla.!!

[@1968madmike]

Hey Dennis, I live in Toledo where all those Jeeps were built!! I've been all through the plant years before they tore it down. awesome place inside Wooden floors all through the plant! It was like going back in time. I've also been in the new Jeep plants paint tunnel!! Friggin' huge!! You make great video's very informative!

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

So what happened to the Jag that Alex was going to have up and running in 90 days.?

[@gordongadbois1179]

DENNIS, THOSE GAUGES LOOK PRETTY CRISP DON'T YOU THINK?

[@yanceystephens6232]

225 kits. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge

[@hughstephenson2957]

Looking at a PAIR of 50s CJs (3?) That are restorable. One is a original Jeep Commander with the V6. Both have been sitting at least a decade (if not more).

[@karlkascha1261]

You are a wealth of information Dennis. Keep those videos coming. Any forward progress on any of the jaguar xkes that you have picked up?

[@exsmoker74]

Rupes, good gear👍👍👍

[@d.riprock1546]

Cool Jeeps! That build sheet thing is funny. If there's no reason related to those having carpet and others not could it just be the preference of the person on the line that had that responsibility? Just one little individuality he or she could put on every Jeep they helped build? I like to think so. I'd do it that way due to a little ocd but if they told me to put it one place and I could get away with putting it another I'd do it every time. OCD again I guess but I wouldn't put it under the carpet so I wouldn't want to tear it out of every suspect Jeep I ran across down the line.

[@brspeedysgarage]

That blue/nutmeg combo is nice looking.

[@JamesJones-yt8df]

Man i love denis in free style MOD!!

[@kennaaye8596]

Thanks Dennis, love your content 😎

[@jacobm1001]

Have you tried 3M trizact ? 3000 or 8000 may help buff those old paint jobs. Try a small spot. Use it wet.

[@shannonschneider8413]

Clear coat,that old horse will look money in clear,maybe a taste of blue metallic in it too,just saying sir

[@matthewpatstone5933]

Always save the original paint/patina if you can. They are only original once👍

[@ufohunters4612]

I agree !!

[@gforcesg]

great video -- 333 kits made my guess

[@droten2231]

I will say 273 built ..shot in the dark.....love the old school Super Jeep

[@diycatcraft]

You may already have a trick to get the tape off without tearing the paper, try a heat gun on low and not to close, it softens the glue.

[@rainman7992]

yes, yes it will....that is what my neighbor said to me regarding the condition of my 1978 Chevy 1/2 ton shortbed 4x4 that has been sitting for years....that will buff out...LOL

[@anthonysanchez8791]

Well??

[@kevinmorgan4453]

@@scottblackwell5789 Well, I just got home and looked; nothing there. Now, mine is a CJ5, low miles for a ‘78, and I have the original Levi low-backs in my garage, but there isn’t anything under the front seats. I will check the rear seat when I get to where it’s stored.

I just ordered my first ever Jeep. A 2021 JL Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited. I would love to pick Dennis’ brain sometime about things that I could do to my Jeep?

[@carlwilliams2081]

Probably 100 or something with the cj8

[@santaclaus1014]

im guessing less than 6,000 were produced in the jk 8 run Merry Christmas!!

[@alexinnewwest1860]

Sweet build! But that 5 bolt hub Dana 30 won’t even make it around the block with that 350

[@benandbetsy6410]

Dear Dennis; I have been a big fan of yours and your company. Back even when I worked for a jeep dealership selling parts. Please keep the content coming. My question for you is on the 1983 color code 2D blue jeep with nutmeg interior. The soft top doors don't match the soft top curvature. From my experience the older cj's I thought had a squared off corner for the soft top doors. The upper rear corner. Those soft top doors had a rounded edge and the soft top had a squared off( pointed) edge. Is that correct original equipment or has something been replaced? I would love to get a shirt from you guys too. I probably fall in line with million other people asking. Please I hope I get to hear some of that famous Dennis knowledge with my question.

[@scotteddy1468]

My guess on JK8 2580

[@15raptor15]

very informative cool video, I could watch it for hours. the channel should have million+ subs and views, what I see people watching the BS where is a plenty of drama and destruction. keep up the great work ;)

[@erikmcleroy1151]

Between 200 and 300 jk8 kits were originally made but 400 were ordered

[@caragraham6154]

What you call nutmeg , I've often heard referred to as Peanut Butter. I like it ! Beautiful Jeeps Dennis 😍

[@daleniswonger2187]

35 kits built!

[@mmotodad]

My guess is 433 of the JK8 kits were produced by Mopar.

Dennis trying to make a star out of this kid Alex. Last couple videos he's talked more than ever

[@MrWill73]

Great video! Love the color combo on the blue Jeep! I have a question regarding the rotisserie Jeep? Behind the rear wheel house, any way that the open part can be sealed or at least have a panel placed there so dirt cannot go up in there and cause rust? My 85 CJ always had dirt, mud etc. up in there. I always wonder why the factory did not seal the section to prevent rust.

[@lindawall498]

Hey Dennis - At 11:10 in video Alex said the AMC 20 didnt work out for the one piece axle. Can you let me know why? What was the problems? Thanks guys!! Love Love Love the Coffee Walks!

Hi Dennis. Love your channel, watched every episode. Unrelated question, How come you leave the stick in your coffee?

Dear Dennis, receive a cordial greeting from Venezuela in South America, I am a great follower of the Jeep and Land Rover brands, especially the classic models, thank God I was able to inherit from my grandfather a Willys SW from 1957 with a Super Hurricane engine, which I kept totally original during the 12 years that I drove it, not getting some spare parts I felt the urgent need to sell it, because I did not want to make adaptations, then I bought a 1981 Jeep Grand Wagoneer which I enjoyed for more than two years They tried to steal it three times and I also sold them, a friend sold me a 1971 CJ-5 with a Hurricane 4-cylinder engine and it was my university car I enjoyed them a lot, for economic reasons I sold it and then I was able to buy a Jeep Wrangler YJ 1991 imported from Canada which I enjoyed for over 8 years. Last year I made my dream come true and I was able to buy a Willys M38 A1 that served in the US and Venezuelan Army, it is in very good engine condition and its body has no rust, it was painted in a horrible blue color by its previous owner, I love my Jeep and I hope to restore it little by little and paint it olive green, I want to get the Black Out light that goes on the front fender and the rear support for the gas can, I really enjoy your programs on KZbin and with Gas Monkey. May God Bless you for rescuing the classic Jeep from scrap metal, receive a fraternal hug from Carlos Valero.
