How To Avoid Engine Damage at Startup with WOT Oil Trick and Loss of My Best Friend

AutoEdits 2023-11-13 | youtu.be/lbL0K2i0fRU
If your vehicle has been parked for several days or weeks, use the Wide Open Throttle (WOT) technique shown in this video to circulate engine oil BEFORE you start the vehicle and save unnecessary wear on important engine components.
I'll show you how to use the WOT technique and give a quick demonstration of just how much oil is distributed throughout the engine before and after the startup.
Also in this video I remind you about proper battery maintenance and how I periodically put an Optima Digital charger on for a "conditioning" on all my batteries to keep them happy and last for years. I noticed the Digital 400 isn't available at the moment so here's a link to the AutoEdits Amazon page and you'll see the newer version front and center in the "Battery Care" shopping list: amazon.com/shop/autoedits
Any shopping you do starting from this page helps me out so bookmark that as your starting point for any shopping ... or just pick up a set of gloves or any other products you might need from the lists... and Thank You!

Now for the hardest thing I've had to deal with in a very long time... My best friend of nearly 14 years and co-host on this channel, Pinto the Dog has died.
She was the Best and Goodest Girl in the world and I miss her so much.
Thanks to all those people over the years that appreciated seeing her in the videos.

Finally, I wrap up this video with a rundown of things to come on the Jeep. Spoiler alert, full long arm and four link suspension conversion!!!

Again, thank you so much if you are reading this... I can't tell you how much I appreciate the support from the AutoEdits family.

Jeeping Up Miller Jeep Trail and Getting Blocked by a Broken Toyota Truck

AutoEdits 2023-09-19 | This time on the AutoEdits Jeep adventure, I'll take you up one of my favorite local trails in Southern California... Miller Jeep Trail. I only have a 50% success rate on this trail but still highly recommend it. It's a moderately easy, maybe a 3 rating out of 10... and that's only one obstacle near the top.
The first time I failed on this trail, I took a wrong turn and got lost and broke my truck... here's that video:
youtu.be/Xe052NkXG68
Then my friend and I had a great run in our Jeeps:
youtu.be/diW56_vWPoM
After that, I had a successful redemption run in that Ram truck:
youtu.be/GGvByOkRXGM
Followed by todays major fail!
What would you do if you came across a broken rig like this?
Here's the onXmap of this run that I recorded:

AutoEdits 2023-08-22 | Howdy! Hop aboard with me on this 2006 Suzuki DRZ400 motorcycle for a nice Dual Sport ride across a local trail here in Southern California... Del Sur Ridge. This is an easy loop but I haven't been out in a very long time and if you watched the first video feature on this bike...
youtu.be/KQisvuzQkBQ
You'll see how much work went into getting it this far!
There are some fun GoPro angles that should help keep this interesting... I'm new at motorcycle videos so let me know what works and doesn't... any suggestions?
This is my first trip using the @onXOffroad app and I'm pretty thrilled the more I learn how to use it. I'm putting together my next Jeep trip to Death Valley with it right now.
I also finally put together an Amazon parts list of the items that worked on the refresh of this bike... here it its:

Squarebody Chevy Dual Exhaust Installation and Test Drive - Flowmaster American Thunder

AutoEdits 2023-06-17 | Here's a very fun video featuring the first upgrade to my "hand me down" Chevrolet Squarebody Pickup Truck ... the Flowmaster American Thunder full dual exhaust system. Kit 17742
I'll run through the complete install, including the only tricky part... adapting from the H pipe to the stock down pipes on the small block 350 in this truck.
Couple things to consider when ordering a kit for your Square body Chevy... even though this is a 1976 C20, not the more common C10, it doesn't have catalytic converters so the kit was an easy fit but the Amazon shopping filter said it wouldn't fit this vehicle. So do a bit of detective work to make sure you order the right option for your rig!
Here's a link to the AutoEdits Amazon store amazon.com/shop/autoedits
In the shopping list for Square body Truck is this kit. Any shopping you do after starting on this page helps sponsor this channel... so grab a set of my favorite Grease Monkey Bones gloves or some Lucas fuel treatment while you're there.... THANK YOU!
Here's a link to the Flowmaster (Holley) web page, it's where I'll be shopping for a ton of more stuff for future upgrades to this truck...
What should be next???
Thanks so much for watching!!!

Jeep JK and JL Parking Brakes - How to Adjust at the Wheel

AutoEdits 2023-01-31 | Howdy guys, this time on the AutoEdits Jeep series, I break out the thorough HOW TO parking brake adjustment segment from the Fusion semi float 60 axle install video. There have been enough comments from folks that watched the Fusion vid to get me thinking a stand alone video might do some good.

EPIC FUN!!! Dirt Track Go Kart Battle - Passes every lap

AutoEdits 2022-12-11 | Here's some short track dirt racing in go karts.
My buddy Jim is in the #46 black and orange kart and I'm (Jason) in the grey #26.
It took a few laps for me to get up to speed but Jim showed me the fast lines and within a few minutes we were racing pretty good. There are a few Bump and Runs plus a bunch of Crossover moves and good times were had by all!
The Karts are standard road based racers that had finished their useful lives and were in the shed at the ranch. Then we got some Harbor Freight Predator 4 stroke motors and adapted them to the Kart chassis. Now we have bullet reliable dirt machines to thrash on. The slick tires keep things interesting on the dirt and since we already had them, kept the cost down by not needing to buy dirt specific tires.

Mounting Up 37” X 13.5 WIDE BFG KM3 Tires on the Jeep Wrangler and WHY!

AutoEdits 2022-09-15 | This time on the AutoEdits Jeep Wrangler Rubicon we mount up a set of 37" BFGoodrich KM3 tires on the Vision bead lock wheels I've been running for a few years now.
The most unique thing one might find interesting in this video is the size of the @bfgoodrichtires KM3 tire I'm running... a 37 x 13.5 R17 !!!
That's right... I'm going down a size from the 38" Milestar Patagonia tires to the KM3's in a 37" size but staying with the 13.5" width.
Will most @jeep folks mount up their own Mud Terrain tires on bead lock wheels in the garage for their own Jeeps? Probably not, and I honestly think MOST people don't need bead lock wheels. The new bead on these tires is so durable that most Jeeping applications would be fine on a standard rim... even at low tire pressures off road.

Long Range Overland Camping Setups - Suburban, Tacoma and Jeep

AutoEdits 2022-08-27 | youtube.com/watch?v=4H79ziD7WCY
Howdy guys! Here's a campsite tour from our amazing off road overland trip across the Washington State Backcountry Discovery Route for the PowerStop Brakes Trail series. #PSTrail
In this video you'll see each of the three vehicles in the group... an old Square Body Chevy Suburban @WillometMotorFab a Toyota Tacoma @DirtLifestyle and Jeep Wrangler JKU @AutoEdits
All three rigs had a distinctly different Overland setup and you'll hear from Nate about the inspiration for why we chose the Washington Route and why we are running it "backwards" from the more common direction.
Nate is editing the full length feature video and will premiere it on Sunday, 8/28 at 2PM Central time on his channel @DirtLifestyle
I'll also put a link here when it goes live.
Let me know in the comments what you think of our setups!
Here's the one line description from the PowerStop Instagram page:
We put 3 different PowerStop-equipped rigs to the test on the Washington BDR - a 600 mile offroad adventure from the Canadian border down to Oregon through some of the most beautiful public land the United States has to offer.

Quick Lift Air Bag Jack Test and 4x4 Tire Rotation

AutoEdits 2022-08-26 | This time on the AutoEdits channel... we are going to try out the Vevor 5 Ton quick lift air bag jack and do a tire rotation on the Chevy Tahoe.
Every once in a while I'll come across a very unique looking tool and want to give it a try. This pneumatic jack is one of those discoveries. It's rated at 11,000 pounds and should more than cover any of the jobs I work on in the AutoEdits garage... but is it right for every lifting scenario? Not sure it will replace all of my jacks but it is a really great addition to the tools at my disposal!

Here's a link to the site and a coupon code they sent me to offer:
bit.ly/3c52We0 Special discount code for Jack VVJACK10 can save another 10% off

For more deals: bit.ly/3QVII52 Up to 50% off, lowest price online. Generic discount code VVS10 can save another $10.

Here's the video on how to rotate your tires using your spare tire!!! youtu.be/SSOZbQ9TFUM

Hope this helps one of you that might get some good use out of a product like this... I'm going to definitely be using it on some upcoming projects around here!

AutoEdits Snow Jeepin #shorts

AutoEdits 2022-08-24 | Learning the right driving techniques to apply to the different types of snow was a ton of fun.
This dense, wet stuff required a gentle throttle application and unlocked differentials... while the deep powdery stuff was where you lock it up and smash the gas!
@DirtLifestyle Nate led us through some divers conditions on our Washington state Backcountry Discovery Route adventure and was able to share a bunch of tips with me and @WillometMotorFab
This was shot in June!!!
Looking forward to sharing this epic video on Sunday! I saw a sneak peek and it's like a NatGeo feature film... Nate's doing a phenomenal job with this edit. Thanks again to Jake Walenga and @Powerstop

1995 Chevy Truck and Tahoe Speedometer Calibration for Perfect Accuracy

AutoEdits 2022-06-05 | This video is where I can finally answer the question of how to calibrate the early 90's GM Chevy truck, tahoe and suburban with absolute accuracy!
Follow along as I show off the VSSB module that I ordered with changeable DIP switches to allow for most any tire size and gear ratio change.
This is the module that I ordered:
udmodule.com/drac/diy.html

But click the link to "About Modules" to find out exactly which module might be right for your truck since they seem to change specs every year in the 90's.
Then head on over to this website to find out a good starting point for your DIP switches... harristuning.com/Tbi/vssb-drac-calibration

I entered in my information and ended up having to adjust several times to get it exactly right... but it is now and I AM STOKED on the results!

How To Change Manual Transmission Fluid on Jeep Wrangler DIY

AutoEdits 2022-05-18 | This time on the AutoEdits Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, we finally get around to doing a manual transmission fluid change and showing you how to do it yourself with just a few simple tools and 2 quarts of Royal Purple Synchromax gear oil. I was looking to try the Amsoil but couldn't find it locally in time for this video. The Jeep dealer charges over $32 per quart for the Mopar trans oil and the Royal Purple was only $18 and the manual transmission in these takes just about two... this Jeep took exactly that.
I'll show you the two Allen wrenches that you'll need, a 14mm and 17mm and how to do a quick modification to the 17mm to make it work since the exhaust crossover pipe is kind of in the way.
This is easy stuff and I want to encourage all skill levels to try this bit of maintenance to their vehicles!

The Cargo Dog setup includes a ton of extras like a switchable power supply that has both 12v and USB charging ports in the center compartment and LED lights in each of the three cargo boxes themselves.

Moab Rim Trail run in a Jeep Wrangler with Help from @DirtLifestyle

AutoEdits 2022-04-24 | Have you ever run MOAB RIM Trail? I find it pretty scary because of the off camber traversing along the cliff's edge. In this video I run the trail in my Jeep Wrangler Rubicon on 38" tires with two veteran off roaders in their heavily modified Toyota Tacoma trucks... @DirtLifestyle Nate on 38's and @MarlinCrawlerMedia Big Mike on 40's.
I'm really thankful to have off road friends that take the time to help spot me through the tricky stuff and make me feel as comfortable as can be.
When a long time passes between serious off road wheeling trips, what few driving skills I may seem to gain seem to really fall off.
So the best way to fix that is seat time!
The temptation is to edit these videos and show all the highlights and none of the fails but I want to encourage ALL JEEPERS to just get out on the trails and learn... no matter your skill level. The only way to get better and gain more experience is to DO IT! And to honor that, you will see my multiple failures and the crazy scared faces I make... lol
Huge thanks to Nate for shooting the exterior shots on his fancy camera and letting me have some of those great drone shots he captured! @DirtLifestyle

Best Dana44 Front Axle Upgrade for Jeep Wrangler Fusion Elite is PERFECTION

AutoEdits 2022-04-07 | This time on the AutoEdits YouTube channel... I install a Fusion 4x4 Elite 44 Front Axle in the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon we've been building over the last several years for one of the single best upgrades yet!
This is the link to the exact front axle I installed for more information:
fusion4x4.com/products/fusion-elite-44-front-axle-assembly-for-jeep-jk?variant=42059687395573
Sometimes it takes a few tries to get it right... after adding more lift to the Jeep last year (going from 3.5" to 4.5") I found the geometry of the UD44 that I installed a year and a half ago to be a little behind what I would like. So I started looking into other axle options that took into account the bit more aggressive build direction I was heading with the Jeep.
After narrowing it down to the few top tier axle companies, a few of my very experienced Jeeper friends recommended the Fusion axles because the attention to the little details like track bar adjustability and quick turn around... and that's how I went this way.
You'll see in the video just what kind of effort I take to make sure my Jeep is set up correctly. I'll show you how to measure and set the proper starting point for your axle install.
Some of the other options I went with for this install are the Reid Racing knuckles (must have), Timken wheel bearings, RCV chromoly axle shafts and Rare Parts load sharing ball joints.

Chapters:
00:00 Introduction
01:22 Comparison to the UD44
06:55 Installation of the Fusion Elite 44 to the Jeep
08:39 How to measure for perfect alignment
09:38 Setting up the proper caster
14:04 final steering setup and break in procedure
16:15 setting the preload for the Rare Parts ball joints

JEEP Core Door Long Term Review

AutoEdits 2022-01-16 | This time on the AutoEdits Jeep Wrangler Rubicon JKU video series... we'll talk long term life with the BesTop Core Doors and Twill Uppers.
I shot this video a while ago when Bestop was offering a sale on the Jeep door kits and pulled the video down after the sale was over but I keep getting these questions about the doors and thought to re-upload the video since it is still very relevant! It has been yet another year and all of the information is still exactly the same, I wouldn't say anything different.
Here is the original install video:

Budget 2 Suspension Lift Tips and Tricks for Maximum Performance💪

AutoEdits 2021-12-23 | Do you need aftermarket torsion keys to get the best lift for your truck? NOPE, Save your money!
Get ready for lots of nitty gritty details on the 2" lift for the AutoEdits 1995 Chevy Tahoe that deliver the maximum amount of performance.
It's been almost 6,000 miles since the suspension refresh and budget 2" lift kit install on the Tahoe. I bought a kit that included 2" blocks for the rear leaf springs and modified torsion keys for the front.
With a careful attention to detail on the actual performance of the truck, I will show you all of the components and adjustments to get the most out of a budget lift.

The key here is to be practical about your expectations of the platform you are starting with!

In this video I will go through all of the new components that have been installed on the Tahoe and now have several thousand miles of road trips and off road adventures.
I'll give detailed reviews of all the components and show the key adjustments for the best results.

Please check out the AutoEdits Amazon store for most of the parts... plus if you buy anything starting from that page it helps the channel... so go pick up a set of grease monkey "bones" gloves or you can at least get an idea of the parts I used and purchase them for your project wherever is best for you.
