[@turboboy0]

cant go wrong with upgrading to an AGM under the hood. my 2019 recently needed a battery and $170 later i had a nice AGM ready to last me 4 or more years.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Awesome job Jared! Any DIY detailer would be proud.

[@kixtonjordan9521]

Shoulda rattle canned the bumper while you had the winch off

[@jad43701]

or bed liner.

[@JohnLafitte]

I think I woulda put a coat of bed liner on that entire front bumper while you had the wench off.

[@spuddoright1970]

Yeah, only a few more bolts for a TJ bumper. Shortcut that's obvious.

[@megan_alnico]

Does that bed liner stuff stick to plastic well? I would have been tempted to spray the plastic trim. I mean the torch seems to have done a decent job but bed liner might have looked good.

[@evoluke1069]

I wish I had a wench on my car

[@keithharms8859]

I think the original owner wants to buy it back. That would be my guess. The jeep looks amazing. Great job.

[@dan725]

Hah what I was thinking especially given the how the Jeep was with the original owner’s family since new.

[@TrippyTrev45]

I was going to say the same 😂it came out mint

[@troynutter8902]

That would be cool.

[@grahamwelch3045]

Came here to say just that.

[@oliabid-price4517]

Yep, back to the original owner - it deserves to return to that family.

[@briancripps186]

Plot twist previous owner wants jeep back for $1

[@eddieredmann3]

The paint, to me, looks like what I would expect a 15-20 year old Jeep that's been used and enjoyed to look like! It's pretty enough, and I think that you made it look used, but enjoyed and well-cared-for, which I think should be appealing.

[@braxtonnelson7422]

I think you have made a great transformation on this old Jeep... for someone who "isn't a detail man"! Honestly, stop putting yourself down-- you have proven that whatever you put your mind to gets done and done well! The results stand for themselves! Love the channel, love your projects... and love your dogs!

[@BeardedFrog]

Agreed! He should stop selling himself short. That paint transformation was surprisingly good. No excuses needed, it turned out fantastic, especially considered how it was.

[@mattwestbrook1]

I recommend swapping the corroded tailgate hinges with black powder coated stainless replacements. 100% worth it. I basically did this exact project to a red tj for my son a few years back. Had to replace the front fenders and had them painted as well.

[@JonSync]

Im so happy he started this series... its just entertaining to watch

[@willthornsbury2913]

I use Iron-X after a few washes to make sure it removes any oxidation within the paint itself. I've found it is nuts how much iron oxide gets down into the crevices of the paint. It's good to do that prior to ceramic coating the paint, to lock out future oxidation.

[@mrray55]

This project will probably have the best ROI of any flip yet. Great job Jared.

[@bigkev10101]

I am not a Jeep guy but I like watching this build. Your channel is great because you actually work on things. Hope the Jeep replacement is a good one. The Jeep did turn out great.

[@amosnomar]

Nice Job! Front bumper could use a coat.

[@projectbrewsky2048]

Excellent work! Some food for thought for future endeavors, those plastics get a dry and chalky finish because the sun bakes out the surface oils. A heat gun or a torch revives the plastic by pulling deeper oil to the surface, which will evaporate in short time. The more it is done, the weaker the plastic will get. Rehydrating the plastic will bring back the deep color and keep the durability. Linseed oil wiped on is a common favorite, first coat will probably soak in very quickly so a second or even a third may be needed. After the initial rehydration it only needs to be done maybe once a year

[@barondugger]

You are a fantastic person to watch fixing cars. A big "thank you" from Korea. Can't have a garage on the fifth floor, so I'm wrenching vicariously through you... LOL.

[@dougsrosen]

That house music at 12:00. Slaps!

[@terrallputnam7979]

You are so correct to take battery leads off before doing work on the engine. I forgot to take battery leads off my civic and pulled the alternator. The big positive lead from the alternator hit the engine block and bam! I blew some really expensive fuses in the fuse box.

[@TheRealAlpha2]

That paint fixed up impressively. Just make sure you sell it before the last couple of videos so no one can lowball you on the work you did. I'm guessing the last few parts are probably either suspension related or some sort of performance upgrade.

[@Shawn-wt4kh]

Love your stories Jared! Great job on the jeep.

[@taurota1554]

awesome as always.thanks for sharing and taking us along.

[@jimmullenax2872]

Save that rust spot it looks better than new. Good choice on torching the plastic to bring it back to life. Keep up the excellent work Jared!

[@nicolasanderson]

Your tagline of make questionable choices came into full effect for me today. I was replacing an alternator for a customer as a mobile mechanic and when I went to leave my work truck blew a hole in the hard brake line to the rear. I was contemplating my options and then asked them if they had a picture frame nail and they did so I just plugged the line coming off one of the distribution blocks. Got me home but was definitely questionable and that fix is attributed to all the revival and car KZbinrs I watch and love.

[@TheAmos1]

pretty cool time lapse and music... been awhile... looking forward to the next one 😃👍

[@10100rsn]

Interior or exterior, no matter what the color, there is a shade of Rust-Oleum satin spray paint that will match those plastic pieces... or a color that looks even better. You just need the paint and someone wiling to take the time to disassemble, repair, paint and reassemble the pieces.

[@simms196]

Excellent work on the Jeep! looks amazing

[@randomcrap763]

Surprise twist would IMHO be he's giving it back to Zack :)

[@MarchHare59]

Lucky thing the Jeep is small. Makes the process of cleaning, waxing and ceramic coating a LOT easier. Imagine if the project car was a 1974 Lincoln Mark IV. The Twist? My guess would be the old owner wants to buy it back.

[@joshuavanalst2365]

I didn’t know you changed the name of your channel. I’m so glad I found the new one

[@luciensavoy682]

Jared, for the black plastic I restored a Golf 3 and I found that a heat gun works well. The heat is more uniform and the result also. But you need to have one that goes up to 850 °C. 650-700 was the sweet spot for VW plastic. Great job on the jeep !

[@johnvender]

For someone who doesn't like detailing you sure do a great job of it. Really looking forward to some Car Wizard 308 content, seeing it in the background really makes me hope it will be soon.

[@simscoordinator]

Great work! That Jeep looks awesome 😍 You are the man💪😎

[@electronicengineer]

Awesome work Mr. Jared! The Jeep looks so, so much better!!! For a detailer that doesn't like to detail, you sure knocked the Jeep out of the park good sir!

[@mikekozi-lester3887]

Hi Jared nice JEEP 🚙 and video 📹 liked the buff time got to try the heat trick !! Paint the bumper it looks out of place then dress 👗 the engine

Looks good Sir !

[@johnlemay5040]

Loving the music for the montages

[@ruikazane5123]

One thing to help you with "cut'n'buff" will be claybarring the entire thing beforehand and do the plastic bag trick, use the fine grit compound then a polish, repeat if not good enough. The coarse compounds can cut paint like a sander and must only be used as last resort or when you know there is enough paint to do it. What's a bit more time than cutting too much paint and burn through. Use a paint thickness gauge if in doubt. Orbital or DA equipment is always a plus and makes it less scary! You're doing great, you'll eventually get into the detailing pit. Question though: does the foglights work? Never seen them tested...questionable

[@armandopatane5343]

Looks amazing

[@calvarycustoms6681]

Surprise Twist-Ending: You’re selling it to Derek - #VGG - who’s going to install Cooper Cahbras on it; then he’ll give it to Robert - #AgingWheels - who will masterfully cobble-together a one-off EV conversion for it; then it will be delivered to its new owner…… #ZackfromVA Am I close? 🤓

I don’t like torching plastic because it doesn’t last. And you can only do it so many times before it’s brittle and breaks. The Jeep looks fantastic.

Now I have to get back to work on MY TJ Wranger. I even use the same Oreilly AGM battery in mine, it's on its way out but it's easily 5 years old and has held up well to plenty of abuse. I'm really happy with it, my Optima batteries haven't even been as durable.

Dude I’ve had that same badlands APEX 12,000 lb winch on my trailer for almost 2 years now. Has pulled many 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks up onto my trailer with absolutely 0 issues. Hell of a winch. I also love the synthetic rope vs the wire cable

[@matthewholzinger1042]

Jeeps around the Chicago area full of rust holes are $3500-4500. It's crazy with prices around here. Just a rusted-out shell of an undesirable vehicle with no drive train can go for that price.
