I have also used the Mopar spray paint to match certain “add ons” to my 2015’s Copper Brown finish with good results. It’s what I think is a limited edition color that Jeep should offer more often to the Wranglers but my local dealership fortunately has in stock with their on the shelf spray paint options. The silver is another great color! Another word that stood out to me that you used describing your local shop/ mechanic was “trust”. Amazing how taking 15-30 minutes talking to a competent shop mechanic on your specific vehicle will show obvious knowledge or lack there of to affect the degree of comfort someone should have letting someone else work on their vehicle will supply. Super glad you’ve found that in a local shop!

Great video. Just shows how much thought jeep put into making sure we could run even bigger tires on the JL. From what I've read, a 3.5" lift on a Rubicon, a wheel swap with a more aggressive offset, and some high clearance fender flares and you're good to run 39s with no trimming or rubbing. Regardless, I'm happy to see you giving the old JK some love, even though I know you've been all about that Rubicon 392 for a hot minute. I know you sold the 4XE for the 392, but whatever happened to the bronco? I don't remember seeing a video where you talked about it going away.

I used to check regularly if you had a new video and what challenging trail you'd be on. Driving on flat dirt roads don't interest me at all.

Thanks for the video. Jeep= Just Empty Every Pocket. I have a new 3.6 in my 2013 10th Anniversary due to the “oil consumption” issue from 12-15 on all 3.6s. Of course it wasn’t under warranty. I couldn’t afford the hemi as one would recommend after the original 3.6 dies. “Preventative Maintenance” as we say in the Army is super important. And yes, having another professional look over your rig is well worth it. Even though I taught mechanics to the new Soldiers entering service, I also trust one or two shops to perform maintenance on my rig. I had the engine installed professionally to get the warranty, even though I could have done it in the garage with some help. 🥸
