Jeep Talk Show Round Table: Hot or Not – Beadlocks, Lifts, Lockers and More EJS 2025 Prep!
Keywords: Jeep Talk Show, Round Table, Hot or Not Jeep mods, beadlocks vs all-terrains, lift vs lockers, soft top vs hard top, manual vs automatic, rock lights debate, Easter Jeep Safari 2025, Tyree Lights, YJL at EJS, Hot Springs Jeep event, Jeep community podcast Description: Join Tony and the Jeep Talk Show crew for a lively Round Table episode as we dive into a “Hot or Not” debate inspired by Chick Chat’s Natalie and Janet! 🚙🔥 We tackle the same questions with a fresh perspective: Beadlocks or all-terrains first? The team debates—Rich from Colorado says all-terrains grip better on Moab’s slickrock, while others note beadlocks shine in deep snow for traction. Lift or lockers first? Some went lockers first with a Rubicon, others prioritized a lift for clearance, with F.U. Bob sharing his low-center-of-gravity TJ build (2.5” lift, 35s, tummy tuck, SYE). Soft top or hard top? Soft tops win for flexibility, but some run Sunrider hard tops for the best of both worlds—Greg even plans a custom hardtop safari conversion! Steel bumpers or tube bumpers? Fabricated steel bumpers are the go-to for durability; tube bumpers feel dated to the crew. Manual or automatic? Manuals are loved for control (Greg’s a fan!), but automatics win for ease on the trail—Eric’s over manuals after wheeling the YJL. Rock lights or underglow? Greg’s not a fan of rock lights, calling them unnecessary if you’ve got quality headlights (like Tyree Lights!), but Eric sees value in knuckle-mounted steerable lights for trails. We’re also gearing up for Easter Jeep Safari 2025 (April 12-20) in Moab! A big Jeep Talk Show crew is heading out—Tony, Steve-O, F.U. Bob, Rick, and more, with Tyree Lights’ Eric, Ken, and Cole joining the fun. Steve-O’s bringing Meek Magnet Jeep Talk Show logos (18×18, nano-suction, removable), t-shirts, stickers, and flags to hand out—grab yours to rep the show! Greg’s towing the iconic YJL with his Humvee, despite its oil drip drama (third engine rebuild!). Look for Tyree Jeeps with Easter eggs of unreleased products, including new Baseline lights (2800 lumens, $99, made in the USA—check tyreeoffroad.com). Plus, we’re planning the Hot Springs, Arkansas Jeep Talk Show Off-Road Event on June 7—mark your calendars! Join the Jeep Family!

All right, let’s get going. This is the Jeep talk show round table episode and, uh, had a little bit of equipment issue tonight. So getting a bit of a late start. Uh, if you’re watching this on YouTube, which you should be, uh, you don’t notice it in, but a difference. It looks like it’s on time for you. Cause you just pressed play and there it was.
(…)
So I thought it’d be fun tonight to talk about some of the, uh, some of the things that, uh, Natalie and Janet of chick chat on Monday’s episode, uh, the questions they were asking, they did it a Paris Hilton twist where they were saying what’s hot and what’s not. So I figured we’d go through these, uh, these same questions and, uh, get a different, uh, look of our different set of answers perhaps, or different ideas.
(…)
So if you guys are ready, let’s get going. Hello, zoom people.
(Explosion)
(…)
All right. So let’s get to our first question and, uh, I’m not going to call on you. You just answer if you’ve got a, uh, got an answer. If you don’t make call, if nobody answers, I may call on you. So just keep that in mind. Um, bead locks or, uh, all terrains, which would you, which do you think it would be better to do? What? Those are two different things. That’s a wheel and a tire.(…) You are correct. Uh, which one do you think you would do first?
(…)
Um, I mean, all terrain is probably the typically will come on the Jeep unless you’re buying a sport.
(…)
Well, some people with all terrains, they don’t see the, uh, the sense in, uh, in, uh, maximum traction tires. And some people don’t see the sense in the, in bead lock. So would you get, uh, I mean, does it matter to you guys, whether you have bead locks on all terrains or mud terrains? It really just depends on the, the surface you’re wheeling on.
(…)
You’re wheeling in snow. Bead locks with all terrains are fantastic because they hold the snow, giving you more traction.
(…)
Wait, what was that?
(…)
Yeah. All terrain tires.(…) Uh, so when you’re wheeling in deep snow or even like semi deep snow, you want a tire that’ll actually fold the snow inside the tread.
(…)
Cause that you’ll get better traction on snow with snow.
(…)
Where mud terrain,(…) you know, uh, mud terrains are actually too aggressive. You’re getting too much traction and it spits it all out. So you just end up digging deeper and deeper and deeper into the deep snow.
(…)
Yeah, but the rooster tails look awesome.
(…)
What do you know about snow? Don’t you live in Hawaii?
(…)
I wish that’d be amazing.
(…)
We have got every, and I’m changing over and I’m changing over to, uh, leaving them just strictly on the rock rig because I use a gladiator more per daily driver and occasional wheeling and I don’t want to get caught somewhere with a foot tire and either one have to change it myself on the road. Cause nobody will touch the bead locks or to pay an exorbitant fee because they won’t, they can’t wait up in line.
(…)
Rick, Rick from Arkansas. I kind of wondered if all terrains would work better. Like at Moab with the sliprock.
(…)
I almost kind of wonder if they would work better at Moab than, than mud tires or max tracks, we would call it. Well, I’ll let you know. Rich from Colorado here.
(…)
Typically yes. All trains tend to do a little better on the slick rock out here. I mean, it’s, it’s more surface area, right? Exactly.(…) Cause it’s, it’s like sandpaper. So you, you got so much grip there that you can potentially run a, like a racing slick out here and probably get more traffic. A racing slick out here and probably get more traction than you would have a altering, but that’s only on the rocks. That’s what I was about to say. I’d love to see like an actual soft compound slick on the rock and just to see what it did.(…) Oh, it’s one. And some of the guys like say sand hollow, which is similar to Moab.(…) Uh, when those guys are in stickies, it’s, it’s just like they’d say, like they stick to the rocks.
(…)
They don’t go anywhere.
(…)
That one guy on, uh, but it’s, it’s, I think it’s a 24 hour to hell and back or one of those trail challenges. He’s driving a buggy.
(…)
I noticed the whole time the tires on his buggy are almost completely ball shaved down, right down flat. So they’re super soft and super smooth, real sticky, like a drag.
(…)
Well, I, I, before I had the Coopers, I had a very old set of almost bald, uh, pro comp tires on my TJ and they did really, really well on rock.
(…)
I’ve heard good things that once you, when you’re into like the more competition, sticky compound tires, the older, the more beat up they get, the better they are.
(…)
I can see that as the rubber breaks down and gets softer.
(…)
All right. Well, let’s jump over to the next one. Uh, this one, uh, I think this one makes a little more sense. Uh, the, uh, beat locks all are all terrains is kind of like, uh, yeah, I get what you’re saying. It’s kind of two different things. Uh, but, uh, the first, uh, do you do the lift first or lockers first? You get a brand new Jeep, I guess really any off-road vehicle, uh, which do you do first lift or lockers? Well, I did lockers first. I bought a Rubicon.
(…)
I did a lift first because I haven’t had to rely on any traction aids or easy buttons while I wheel.
(…)
What do you say, man?
(…)
Just saying I, I haven’t, Oh, I can’t wait till we get on the poison spider.
(…)
Hey, Hey,(…) Hey, I got this right here. Or if I need an easy button.
(…)
Yeah, something to attach that easy button to buddy. Big, pretty winch. So I’m sure you guys will pick up on this. So there’s a large group of folks that are here on the zoom room tonight, the round table that are going to be going to EGS this year. And, uh, Tony is going out there. Steve is going out there. I think Dan you’re going out there.
(…)
Rick Rick’s going out there. Well, Rick has to get done building his Jeep first.
(…)
Roger Bob.
(…)
Yep. Roger Bob. So quite a few people out there. And, uh, if, uh, if you’re thinking, had been thinking about going to a EGS, but, uh, don’t want to go by yourself now as an excellent time to go. And, uh, you know, road trips are, you can do a road trip anytime you like. Uh, just call in sick, uh, from, uh, from work for a week.
(…)
Or two. Yes.
(…)
Yeah. There’s going to be quite a few, uh, Jeep talk show people out there. Oh, uh, real quick, uh, kind of a diversion here or a different correction. Uh, you got the, uh, Steve, you got the meek magnets, uh, today and, uh, you’re actually the only one that has got to see them in person. What do you think? They are. Wow. I was very impressed with how they stick.(…) Um, it’s hard to describe it. It’s like, um,(…) you know, like a glue trap for mice. Really? Good God. That’s that’s really strong. Not the struggle. Like that kind of the, the surface tension on it. Um, it’s just pretty impressive. I did not, I was actually kind of concerned when I put it on, I started peeling it off. Cause I got my door decals on there. I was like making double damn sure I didn’t pull my door decals off. That would have been funny. That would have says you.
(…)
That’d have been constant.(…) Uh, so these very well made these meek magnets, uh, that’s what they started off was with magnets, but of course, as a Jeep started changing how they made the Jeep, uh, the, the doors became aluminum and magnets don’t stick to aluminum. So, uh, uh, Monica switched over to a nano suction cup, whatever it is. Uh,(…) little octopi, uh, suckers or whatever, whatever’s on there. So now, uh, you can put it on, take it off, put it on, take it off, uh, I think up to a thousand times, uh, and, uh, you clean it and make sure that you don’t get a lot of dirt and stuff on it, so it’ll stick properly. But it doesn’t hurt the paint and it doesn’t, uh, it’s not like putting a, a sticker on where you’re actually using adhesive. And here’s just as well as a magnet wood to metal.
(…)
So it’s, they’re pretty cool. And what we have is what Steve received today was a 16, uh, uh, 18 by 18, uh, Jeep talk show logos, uh, that he’s going to be handing out at EJS. Uh, so, uh, some of you that are going, if you don’t mind helping advertise, uh, the show, uh, you can drive around and everybody can see the, uh, the MECE magnet, uh, we didn’t have enough to, to, uh, to purchase two for everybody.
(…)
And, uh, but it’s one. And if you get it on the, on the driver’s side, that would be wonderful. Uh, and if you go to discord, uh, you can see, uh, how it looks on the, on Jeeps on Jeeps on Steve’s Jeep. Uh, although he does have his over his sticker because he said it was too big to put on his rear door.
(…)
Yeah, it was, I was surprised how big it was. What about all the hard earned scratches?
(…)
But that’s kind of the reason for the MECE magnets is that you keep your, uh, your, your vehicle from being in scratch. Yeah.
(…)
And, uh, and keep in mind that if you have not seen Zabo’s Jeep in person, uh, Zabo is going to be out there at EJS, very nice build. Uh, and all of the, uh, some of the, some of the decals are from, uh, Janet from Chick Chat. Uh, but the big ones going along the side are all MECE magnets. And I couldn’t tell, I saw it and I didn’t realize it was, uh, the MECE magnets that’s very colorful and very nice.
(…)
Yep. Back to the, uh, the lift or lockers question. I was going to make about that because I’m, I’m doing a little different build. I’m, I’m kind of focusing on the low center of gravity. So I’m, I’m doing my build to, to build the suspension and I pulled the belly and everything up. So I got the flat belly under there. And then, uh, the only, I do have a, like a two, two and a half inch lift. Technically. But the only reason I’ve got that is because I went with over the knuckle with all my steering components in order for those to clear, you know, like if I hit a bump or something, they would be hitting the frame because they were so close. So I had to, I had to lift it about two and a half inches to just to get to clearance for the, for the suspension and the steering to clear. So I did all that basically at the same time I got those axles. So, um, I by default, I got lockers, but, but, uh, really the, uh, the main thing I was looking at doing was, you know, what I did at WJ knuckle swap was, was get as much, uh, steering as I could over the knuckle.
(…)
Yeah. You’ve done quite a few things to your, uh, to your TJ. Uh, so you’re going to be in a TJ. Um, uh, if you Bob’s going to be in a TJ, that’s the only TJ is going out there. So as far as we know, right.
(…)
It’s far as I know right now.
(…)
Yeah. I don’t think anyone in our group, Dan, everybody’s either JK or JL. Nope.
(…)
But, uh, Bob’s on 33. He’s I believe he said, has he got a three inch lift? I think I’m thinking he does. And, uh, he may be at work. Yeah. Two and a half inch lift with 33.
(…)
There you go.
(…)
No,(…) I’m on, I’m on 35 two and a half inch lift. So Bob’s got the tummy tuck as well.(…) That makes a huge difference. That breakover makes a huge difference.
(…)
Are you both running as YEs on your transmit on your transfer case? Oh yeah. I am. Yeah. Yeah. After the, or you can’t get the, the, the angles because you, you’re pulling all that up so high, the angles so sharp you have to, so you can’t, uh, use, uh, adjustable control arms and get the, the pinion at the right angle.(…) Well, yeah, you, you can, but your, but the drive,(…) the, you know, you got your, you, you pit your, uh, nose from your axle and then, uh, coming out of the back of the, uh, transfer case, it’s so short and you know, the angle was, ends up being so steep because, you know, it’s absolutely the best way to go, but it’s a little unnerving, uh, pulling, uh, pulling the transfer case apart. With the TK you need the double card and because of the shortness of the shaft. Right.
(…)
And, uh, pulling that apart. I wasn’t that bad. I just, I watched about 28 and a half YouTube videos and then I figured I had it down, I did it. So, uh, mine was an NP two 42. So it was, it was a little different and I didn’t know about all the needle bearings. Well, I say needle bearings. It wasn’t needle bearings. They were big bearings, but there was nothing holding them in. Uh, when I pulled it apart and they all went all over the floor and I had to clean them up real well.
(…)
The, the two 41 wasn’t bad, but I just got a two Oh five that I’m gonna pull apart and put new, new bearings and seals and stuff in. And that one has a lot of needle bearings.(…) So that’s not going to be fun. Yeah. Well, I mean, uh, as long as you, I think if I knew that they were there, I could have, uh, kept it from, you know, pull it, I just pull them out and put them in a little, uh, little container, maybe a magnetic one, uh, to keep them all together. There’s nothing worse than going back with something and missing one bearing.
(…)
Is that, is that two or five chain driven two or is it gear? It’s gear. Oh, that’s cool. It’s like a, so I’m calling it the poor man’s Atlas.(…) Yeah. Um, so it’s only two to one, but I also have a two or three to make a doubler so I can go to four to one.
(…)
So for about half the price of a four speed Atlas, I’ll have a four speed Atlas.
(…)
It’s just not Atlas and it, it’ll probably wait double what the Atlas does, but.(…) You know, it’s down low and it’ll be okay. That’s kind of similar to what rich did in his, uh, extra unit.(…) Yeah.
(…)
Well, I think he did the two 31, two 31. Yeah.(…) Yeah.
(…)
All righty. So I think we’ve heard from everybody on this one. How about this, uh, soft top or hard top?(…) No top.
(…)
Well,(…) that’s preferable.
(…)
However, I always go soft top because I can go down whenever I want. I even haven’t talked to my Jeep for the first couple of years.
(…)
How do you handle the rain and the stuff? Do you just let it dry and then drive it or do you park it under something?(…) Park it under something. How about spiders? Any problems with spiders or any critters? I mean, I live out in, you know, a little nowhere anyway. That’s normal. Not so normal when things are closed up though, right?(…) Well, it’s not closed up though. It’s open. But I’m saying it, if it was closed up, you wouldn’t have to worry about the critters and it doesn’t bother you. It doesn’t bother you. I just, you know, driving down the highway and then the spider jumps out at you. It’s like, holy crap. I don’t, I don’t like spiders, but at the same time, like I lost the plugs for my tub a long time ago, so it is technically always accessible for critters. I’m not terrified of spiders, but it’s like you’re driving and what do you do? Especially like it whenever they, they come down on a single thread right there in front of your face and kill him.
(…)
I do it both ways on both the wife and myself. We run the hard tops on her jail and my gladiator and then we run the sunrider up front,(…) so we still got the open air when we want it without having to store the tops. Yeah, that that’s kind of a pain in the ass. I mean, if you’ve got a lot of real estate to store things, it’s great. But not all of us can be like Henderson and have a, you know, several acres of toys laying out there. Yeah, I’m, I run the hard top during the winter and I take it off and just have a safari top all summer long. And I just, I’ve been caught in the rain plenty of times. This park top gives you enough cover that you’re not getting that wet. I mean, if you’re moving, it’s not too bad, right?
(…)
It’s not bad.
(…)
Yeah, to me, that’s always been, you know, you see it in movies and things. Hell, I even think it was in the Terminator where she was leaving to go to Mexico and she’s in a CJ properly and no top. I mean, she may have had a soft top in the Jeep, but I get the feeling it was just, she was in the Jeep. She needed a record going anywhere vehicle and it was topless.
(…)
Yeah,(…) this summer, yeah, this summer, I’m going to do something a little unconventional, imagine that. But there’s a Jeep salvage yard down in Memphis and they’ve got some busted hardtops like the, like the glasses broke or maybe the corners broke. And I’m going to go buy one of those for about 100 bucks. And I’m going to cut the top out of it and basically make a hardtop, safari top for my Jeep.(…) Interesting.(…) Now,(…) different. I know. Cool. I think I was talking to Chris at G tops and he was telling me a lot of people think that those tops are fiberglass. They’re not.(…) And you have to have the, not that you’re repairing one, but he was just that made me think of that, that if you’re going to repair a hardtop, it’s a little more difficult than you would. It’s a little more difficult than fiberglassing it or fixing the hole or the crack or whatever with the fiberglass. So I don’t have any more information on that. But if anybody is fixing a one of these Wrangler tops, you might want to investigate that before you get too far off with the resin and the fiberglass. All right. So this one confused me and maybe it’s just a naming terminology that that’s missing here. They asked on this most recent episode of Chick Chat steel bumpers or tube bumpers. And I thought two bumpers were steel as well. But I know what they’re talking about, but I don’t know what it’s called. You know, whenever you have the non tube bumpers, what do you do? It’s plate. I guess it’s a steel plate.(…) But what do you call what do you call the bumper? That’s not a tube bumper bumper stamped or I mean, they make it with a press. They build it and weld it together. But it’s the tube. Those two bumpers are I’ve never seen one that didn’t seem like it was really cheap and it wouldn’t take. I mean, you could wrap it on your knuckle real hard and probably didn’t get it. I mean, yeah, I’ve never been a tube bumper fan. I mean, on some vehicles, it looks kind of nice. But I think that for something that’s off road or, you know, whenever you want to do ramming speed, somebody’s coming into your lane, I’d much rather have the plate steel, the heavier bumpers.
(…)
Not that I’d ever want to injure anybody, but you know, stupid is a stupid does.
(…)
All right, Dan, how about you? What do you think of the regular full bumper or a tube bumper? Nope, steel.
(…)
Two bumpers were kind of a thing back maybe in the late 90s when I had a TJ, it was two bumpers all the way, but the technology and style has gone past that. Yeah, I guess with CNC machines, I don’t know when CNC got popular or affordable. I guess they’ve been around for a long time. But when CNC is really sort of getting out there and people started getting multi-ton press breaks that you could bin metal that was thick and long, I think a lot of that changed. And now you get some really fantastic looking bumpers that are really, really strong and actually not that heavy. I mean, certainly heavier than a tube bumper probably, but I mean, I guess anybody could make anything heavy. Yeah, the big problem you hear with just about everybody, and I don’t know if it’s just the quality of the manufacturer, but just about anybody that’s gone aftermarket steel has coating issues.
(…)
You know, they’ll buy them coated, they got a Rhino lighter on or whatever they’ve got. And you know, a year or two later and even my bumper, I noticed some spots. I got to go back and grind down and touch up with some rust, but rust tends to be an issue with a lot of that stuff,(…) especially for budget aftermarket. Yeah, I do not like powder coat on anything that’s going to potentially take damage. I might have rattle can and nice clean steel and rattle can it even if it looks like crap, it’s going to look better than paint over a bad flaking off powder coat.
(…)
All right, I see Eric joined us. Eric, I want you to know that Roger admitted to having a Tyree Lights light bar.(…) Yeah, yeah, he sure did. He admitted it today. He hasn’t told any of us anything about it.
(…)
And I actually owe Roger a callback from earlier today. I had a really busy day, but I’ve got some info for you. What do you got? You do? Yeah, yeah. You want to call me later? Yeah, I’ll call you after.(…) All right, but I have a solution to fix our problem. That’ll be in my Jeep on the way to Moab.
(…)
Roger delivered.
(…)
I’m confused. Okay, you can tell me later. Yeah,(…) I’ll send you a picture.
(…)
Well, at least now you guys will have a solution for the JKs when people are ordering the lights, the light bars for the JKs. That’s true.
(…)
I like Roger being a test subject.
(…)
Right. Right.
(…)
What do you think, Eric? I mean, you know, you’ve been in the business for a while. What do you call those steel bumpers? And how do you differentiate steel bumpers from tube bumpers? Fabricated bumper.
(…)
That’s what I’ve always called them, fabricated versus a tube bumper.
(…)
I mean, I tend to ignore tube bumpers entirely. Yeah.
(…)
But I have an aluminum bumper, not a steel bumper.(…) Yeah, that’s what I mean. It’s hard to… I don’t know exactly what it would be called. I call it fabricated bumper. Do you have any concerns about the aluminum bumper? I mean, I’m sure you don’t because you have one, but… Not a bit.
(…)
No, I mean, so, you know, when it takes damage, it’ll crack. Like I have my rear bumpers cracked. It’s aluminum.
(…)
It doesn’t bend and, you know, it cracks at welds and stuff like that. But I mean, the weight savings is, for me, it was very important. So it’s noticeable.
(…)
Yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure.(…) I think, well, I have a savvy,(…) minor savvy off-road bumpers and I think my steel… I mean, my front bumper is probably six pounds, maybe. My goodness. The cover of it, but it’s also frame… I also have frame chop front and rear. Right.
(…)
So it’s purely, purely decorative.
(…)
So you’re… Oh, Henderson’s been talking to you. So you’re going out to EGS this year, right? Yeah. Yeah. I leave in exactly a week.(…) Very good. From today. I think you’ve been in conversation with at least Henderson and I know Henderson’s going to be doing stuff with the Jeep Talk Show folks. I don’t know if you’ve been part of that conversation with some of the Jeep Talk Show people or… Not yet. Not yet. But I mean,(…) you know, we’re always down to do something.
(…)
We’ve got, let’s see, three Jeeps going.
(…)
Ken Cole and myself are all going.
(…)
I’m leaving next week if my tires and track bar get here.(…) As of right now, my Jeep is not drivable. So we’ll see how that goes.
(…)
But yeah, yeah, I’ll be leaving here with my Jeep, a power tank Jeep on a, you know, 38 foot gooseneck trailer. We’ll be there on Friday the 11th and then we’ll be wheeling all week. So we’re not going to be at the vendor show. Right. I remember you saying that. Yeah. So somebody was saying before you got here and you may not know this, but then again, because of your Quadratec experience, you may somebody said that Greg was bringing the YJL.
(…)
I’ve had a lot of phone calls about that.
(…)
I think I mean, I think he is. Yeah, I think he is bringing it. So I don’t know where he said the other night. I’m excited to see that thing. Yeah. I mean, I think, yeah, I think he’s it’s, it’s the logistics of getting it. There is the, the real issue. So they’re figuring let me drive it.
(…)
Whoever wants to, I don’t have room on the trailer, but yeah, no, it’ll, it’ll be there. It’s just a matter of how they’re going to get it there. It’s been out there twice.
(…)
It’s been out to two EJ. So exactly the same amount of EJS as the JTE. Was it out the light out there the last two years? No, no, the last two years it was the JTE.
(…)
But previous to that, it was out there when it had the three six in it and then it went back out. I brought it back out when it had the the straight six in it, the stroker.
(…)
I can’t believe he’s driving that Hummer all the way there.
(…)
That’s wild to me.
(…)
If only he knew a truck driver.
(…)
I tried, I tried and tried, but he was determined. The thing I don’t understand is he still has that moped. I mean, you know, come on. Yeah, yeah, hop on. I did. I tried to figure out a way to help him out with that, but I was even going to put one in the, put something to his on the trailer and give him my wife’s Jeep to drive.(…) But no, he’s determined. Yeah. He knows what he’s doing. If he doesn’t. Oh, yeah, he’ll be fine. It’s just, I just can’t see that as being comfortable.
(…)
But he was making this when I talked to him today, he was making a center console for it. He was making that the other day too. Yeah. Yeah. So it was four feet wide and 17 feet long. Hold 17 Mountain dews. He swears he’s off the Mountain Dew now. That’s what he told me today. He said one a day.(…) Oh, now he’s not off of it anymore. Okay. Yeah. I can’t buy one a day, but yeah, I believe. How do you, how do you ration yourself? You know, just leave the box sitting there full of Mountain Dew is I’m only going to drink one. That’s like, I’m only going to smoke one cigarette. Yeah. Okay.
(…)
Yeah.
(…)
One at a time. Anyway, back to the fabricated bumpers or the tube bumpers is anybody here? Do you have two bumpers? Would you like to have two bumpers? Is it, is it just not a non starter for everybody? I think if I were to pick up a CJ or something, you know, like it’s something with the nineties kind of theme on it. Maybe I would, but I think what Dan said, I think there was a time and place for him and it’s just not a current look. So technically the bumper on my TJ was a tube bumper that I chopped up and the like the mounting part was plate, but then it was tube on all the outer parts and we cut off the outer tubes and left the bull bar part of it.(…) But it was to like, I’ve bent the bull bar already. So very good. All right. Well, let’s jump over to this next one.
(…)
I’m going to predict. I know what the most everybody’s going to say on this one manual or automatic. And I know the manual guys are going to say manual.
(…)
100% manual.
(…)
I don’t want to work that hard, but you’re not, you’re not sticking gear for most obstacles and you just let it do its thing.
(…)
But I’m putting an automatic in mine. Yeah.(…) Hard, hard pass on the manual. I spent a lot of my younger years driving manuals, but I’m over it.(…) So I’ve driven both my wife’s and mine over obstacles. And I honestly think that I just, I like it more with mine, with the manual.
(…)
I tell both my kids had a drive manual and my son currently does not have one, but his first two cars were and he wants another one.(…) It’s the millennial, the millennial, the millennial anti-theft device. Yeah. Technically, I’m a millennial.(…) So number one, fuck you.
(…)
I will drive your truck down the road.
(…)
Okay. Most millennial.
(…)
Yeah.
(…)
I listen, I like driving a manual on the road and driving a sports car in a manual, absolutely, but wheeling not interested. I’ve done it. I’ve, I’ve wheeled the YJL. I did not enjoy it. So we know the one benefit is you don’t have to worry about the transmission overheating. That you’ve never over here about the clutch over here. Yeah.
(…)
I’ve never, I’ve never overheated my, my JK transmission for sure. Or JL. No, I have had it turn into limp mode on a jail. You just have to worry about when it dies and you have to kick in the different gear and it rolled back five feet.
(…)
Well, yeah. I thought you were going to go about the starter. I mean, if you can’t, if you can’t start it because the battery’s dead or something with a manual transmission, you can start it.(…) Well, I mean, if you’re on a hill, you can use your parking brake as an assist.
(…)
Yeah, but no, I’m talking about when you’re in the rocks,(…) actually rock crawling.
(…)
I’ve never, you can tell, you can tell the manual drivers from the automatic drivers very quickly after they stall it about two or three times,(…) roll back off the obstacle and kick out a rear bumper.(…) Hey, that was just once I did that shit.
(…)
I’m going to be pretty good at it. I’m going to be pretty good at it. Well, you just don’t let off the brake until you feel the clutch grab a little. Yeah.
(…)
I thought you just pushed all the way down on the gas. Take your foot completely off the clutch. That’s the first thing you got to learn with a manual transmission is where does the clutch engage? Well, that’s something like great is fun is when Dan stalls it and they get to make fun of them. Well, honestly, like, like I live in a rural area, but I live outside of a major metro area. I would much rather drive a stick on the rocks than in town.
(…)
Because I’ve gotten out of a car and started to walk and had my leg start shaking and almost fall down from having to hold a clutch in and traffic.
(…)
So I will say I do not enjoy driving the Jeep in Denver.
(…)
You know, you can drive a manual Jeep without ever touching the clutch, right?
(…)
You can do that with any manual, but yeah.
(…)
Until you’re in traffic.
(…)
Well, he has got to predict the time. There was some guy, what is it? What’s that that road on in California? Is it the 205, the 405 or the one that’s really bad? Always backed up. He put his Jeep in for low and just let it crawl through traffic. Yeah, I mean as long as it’s actually constantly moving and not like stop and go, you could.
(…)
But like so I had a Cobra years ago like a 03 Cobra and Mustangs that they still had static like cable clutches until like 2005 or 6 and so you had all the weight of the clutch. You didn’t have a hydraulic assist like my TJ does. Yeah,(…) and so that car had a really heavy clutch and the day I bought it and brought it home. I got stuck in Dallas traffic that was, you know, stop and go and I got shift out of neutral and like sit there when I could but it was still an hour and a half of, you know, barely moving on and off on and off and when I got out of the car, it was, you know, leg shaking almost fell down.
(…)
It was there within with all that all that work gave you a gangster lean when you walk right to shit that really big badass left leg. I mean it goes with the total cool factor of driving a manual because we are cooler than the guys that drive automatics. It’s just a fact. So I think it all works. Well, John it matches oversize right arm.
(…)
What’s hitting with the left? Sorry, Kevin.
(…)
I got a British truck every once in a while.
(…)
I installed that center force with the heavy the heavy fly wheel and mine.(…) It was a huge difference. It made it it made it. It did make a good difference, but you know, you still got to you still got to drive it. You know, you still you can still kill it. But after I killed mine a couple of times just driving today Andrew recommended I get that.
(…)
I mean it was a stop sign. It was a real fucking obstacle.
(…)
Yeah, and then, you know, I’ve got a hand throttle too. So I can I can work to break the clutch and the throttle with my my hand and kind of kind of cheat a little bit kind of gets me in spots and then I’ve got you know, I put the fuse in there in number 20. It bypasses the clutch switch so I can actually start it gear.(…) You know, when it’s in for low low low low you can start it gear and it would just take off. So I’ve done that in mine, but about every five starts it pops that fuse.(…) Huh?
(…)
That’s interesting.
(…)
And I put a 20 amp in here.
(…)
Supposed to be a 20 amp. I think it says a 10 amp. Just keep putting bigger fuses until it starts smoking. Yeah. I get a fire. Yeah.(…) That’s supposed to be 20 amp. I’m pretty sure I’d have to double check it. I think mine was only supposed to be a 10 or a 15 though. 20. That’s a lot.(…) Yeah.
(…)
The mine in bought.
(…)
Well, that’s the pump here. Maybe the tire.
(…)
12.9 4 miles per gallon. My wife went and got fuel today at the gladiator. She was driving over to mom’s house and I said, so just take a picture of the odometer because I get the all the other information in my email from Sam’s because we go get our fuel at Sam’s Club and I think she sighs every time I told her I said I have got the mileage for every time I’ve gotten fuel and the gladiator since I first got it. There was a tank. It was full when I got it and every tank full after that. I’ve got knowledge on it. Do you like being depressed?
(…)
No, it’s about what the XJ gets. I’m used to it. Actually, it’s a little bit better than the XJ.
(…)
Looks like you mentioned that one of your flagship episodes who buys a Jeep and worries about fuel mileage. That’s exactly right. I mean if you can do something to fix it. Yeah, absolutely. But so anyway manual automatic Lenny. I want to know about you. Are you manual or automatic? Which what do you have and which do you want?
(…)
I’ve got a automatic and I prefer automatics.
(…)
Have you ever driven a manual at all or much?
(…)
No, I had a 1980 CJ 5 and it was a five-speed automatic.
(…)
I can’t remember what engine was in it, but automatic is just so much easier. Oh, yeah, the manual is not worth the headache. What happened to the CJ?
(…)
I traded it for a pickup truck.
(…)
I moved out in the country and needed a truck more than I needed a Jeep.
(…)
A jeeper would have figured out how to do both.
(…)
Yeah, I was young. I know.(…) I’ve been poor most of my life. I know what you mean. There’s Greg. And getting a Jeep isn’t conducive to make you more money. Is Greg joining us? Yeah.
(…)
Greg, manual or automatic? And I’m talking about Jeep. None of that twisted stuff that you’re into.
(…)
I mean really to teach his own. I love a manual.
(…)
So even off-roading. I really like I love the convenience of an automatic, but the control that a manual gives you is much better.
(…)
Card disagree.
(…)
Yeah, but you don’t know how to drive early that well.
(…)
Good one.
(…)
You’re saying Eric needs all the help he can get. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It’s the last seem a build I do with you, my friend.
(…)
That’s why I cheated in my JK. I’ve got that Ruby crawler. So I got eight to one with an automatic.
(…)
Easy peasy.
(…)
That’s way to go.
(…)
So Greg, It’s been one discussion before you got here. What are you driving to EJS?
(…)
Humby.
(…)
You know what the J and EJS is for, right?
(…)
Well, I’m bringing the YJL as long as somebody from Quadratec can figure out how to get it to me because the guy that was supposed to that’s borrowing a truck and trailer, he bit, he fucking bitched out and now he’s whining.
(…)
Responsibility blah blah blah. So, you know, but but yeah, it’s it’s historical Greg.
(…)
You know the reason.
(…)
But I would be I’ll be I’ll fly there and drive it to EJS for you.(…) There you go.(…) Keep in mind if you Bob flies for free. So don’t don’t think he’s a saint.
(…)
Right. Well, and we’re just going to arrive in the same condition. It leads wherever it’s at. Well, apparently I heard a nasty rumor that it’s got some kind of little oil drip and which I don’t understand seeing as how like three different people have now rebuilt the engine.
(…)
So I don’t know. It’s it’s complete condition. But yeah, the YJL I will be bringing.
(…)
We just got to get it here first and Quadratec has multiple people riding in a truck. So one of them should be able to I’m sure they’ll figure it out. Get it to here. Yeah. That’s really surprising that it’s got a oil leak. I think was professionally that Stroker was professionally built.
(…)
Yeah, repeatedly.(…) Oh, so that and over.(…) Yeah, the company that did it was five oh five and
(…)
no, no, he was a he was supposed to but he was a little long in the tooth and
(…)
then we lost him, but he
(…)
he was going to do it. And then so we had we had five oh five do it and it made it to SEMA.
(…)
And then it
(…)
trying to remember what it lost push rods push rods.
(…)
So then it went back like I pulled it out. I put it in a crate. I shipped it back.
(…)
He rebuilt it and ran it out of dino is what he told us.
(…)
And
(…)
it didn’t last very long at all. Like I think maybe it got a couple hundred miles before it started(…) really fucking up.
(…)
And then
(…)
rounded the camshafts. Yeah, rounded the camshafts off and then it went to
(…)
another it went to a TV show where they
(…)
went through it and found, you know, some glaring issues and(…) they went through it. But now I’m I hear stories that
(…)
it may have a little oil drip and be
(…)
has(…) possible heating issues.
(…)
But he doesn’t know if it’s he doesn’t know if it’s the gauge or if it’s
(…)
you know, I mean it could be your main rear main seal though. I think no, he said it was dripping from near the front.(…) Oh,
(…)
I so I wipe my hands of it Greg and I’ll bet you that that I mean, I don’t know how much they’ve driven it, but I’ll bet you it’s cut less than 2,000 miles on it. Guaranteed. I bet you it’s got less than 1500 miles on it. I mean you can screw up a main seal of course, but well, it’s on its third engine rebuild. So
(…)
you know, who knows it’s a 4.0 that shit. I mean, but it’s a stroker. Did they put a non I guess that that means it doesn’t have a stock cam in it. No, and it’s wild cam now.
(…)
But but who knows what they ever did. So 505 never gave me a build sheet. I don’t know if he gave quadratic a build sheet, but never so we never knew exactly what was in the engine.
(…)
Which is another you know, kind of fucking boggles your mind information. I’m too long for sure. Just fucking repeatedly.
(…)
That’s why I like newcomer. That’s why I love the fact that you know, he does that he sends you all the dope documentation all the pictures everything else and then even videos, right? So I got videos of the install videos of it on a Dino.
(…)
You know, so that makes me feel a lot more warm and fuzzy that I’m actually getting the information.
(…)
But yeah,
(…)
505 I apologize profusely. I usually don’t talk very bad about people but oh my god, don’t do any business with that guy. But in this this is how you really feel. So I think you said this already, but the YJL is going to be towed out there, right? It’s not being driven because I’m not going to yeah.
(…)
Yeah, I’m going to tow it with the humvee. Okay.
(…)
Well, I gotta tell you Greg, I’m excited to see that.
(…)
I’m excited to see it. And I you know, like(…) I really want to go through it and fix anything that I can find whether I’m getting paid or not. It still has my name on it. So
(…)
how much time I’m gonna
(…)
I have well, so
(…)
Rob and I were talking about that today. He’s like, well, I don’t know when it’s coming back and I was like, well, when do you need it? And he goes, well, I don’t know and I said, well, then it’s just gonna stay here until you need it and I’m just going to keep fixing shit. Yeah and putting miles on it until Ted cries that he wants it back.
(…)
Yeah.
(…)
Well, it’s just been kind of sitting and not doing anything for a while. So
(…)
they could use it. They could use the love. They’re going to think it’s out of the oil when they get it back to me. Correct. Cause it could be no older.(…) Well, I’m just worried that I’m going to have to put another damn motor in it. Yeah.
(…)
Stock four liter. Yeah, that’s actually a great idea.(…) I have I have a couple stock four liter sitting here. So I could put one in it. Or you could put that Hellcat in it.
(…)
I think I’m going to put the Hellcat in the Humvee.(…) That’s even better.
(…)
We still on for Sunday night, Craig.
(…)
What happened Sunday night? At the EJS.
(…)
Oh, the yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool.
(…)
No, no Sunday at EJS.
(…)
That’ll be a fun time.(…) All right. So this is a this will be our last one. The question this one’s going to be specifically for Greg. So great. Do you think that you would get rock lights or underglow(…) for your Jeep?
(…)
Do it.
(…)
Neither your Humvee. Actually, this is better for the Humvee because the underglow would be perfect.
(…)
I actually have a whole bunch of kits from oh, what’s the name of that company?
(…)
XK glow. No, XK glow. I have I have several underglow kits from them that they sent me that will never leave the box and at some point I will sell or just throw in the dumpster. How did you wind up with those? Were they just saying we got to send you these we got to send you these because they wanted on your SEMA build and you said no and they sent them anyway.
(…)
So the 1200 horse.
(…)
392 that we did a couple years ago.
(…)
XK grow sent all the lights for it. So they sent, you know, pod lights and their switch panel and all their stuff, but they they sent a whole bunch of those lights hoping that I would use them and I didn’t because I and I’m sorry that it’s going to hurt somebody’s feelings, but I think rock lights are the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.
(…)
The fact that people put, you know, multiple colors and tune them to the radio and do all that other crap. Who did you think would be offended by this? This could be I guarantee that somebody likes rock lights, but if you have a quality set of headlights, let’s say my personal favorite still to this day are truck lights. If you have a quality set of headlights and a quality set of aftermarket lights like we’ve got Eric from Tyree and I’ll tell you what I put one of those on the front of my our scooter when we were going to Moat or going to SEMA that light is they’re really amazing quality lights.
(…)
If you have a quality set of headlights and a quality set of on your bumper lights, you don’t need them on your A pillar. You don’t need a light bar. You don’t need all that other crap. They look cool wherever you put them lights look cool, but just a quality set of lights on your bumper and a quality set of lights on in your grill is really all you need. Now if you have tinted windows, maybe a really quality set of backup lights or even just a utility light that you can aim where you need.
(…)
But when you’re driving rock lights don’t help you the only person that they possibly help is the person behind you because when you’re driving you can’t hang out the window and look because you have a seat belt on.
(…)
So so what’s the fucking point of having some weird lights in my opinion? I think they’re dumb. Hey, why don’t you want to call my JK a dumpster on accepting donations?
(…)
I can confirm the reverse light as part of the 12% all the way around tent Club.
(…)
There is one place there is one place rock lights. There we go. If it’s if it no, no, no, it’s not not on the trail. If it’s going to be land lights. No, it’s if it’s broken and you need to work on it on the trail and it’s been you know, what one quality light that you can you know, like Jeep used to have them and God who else had them? Jeep had them Chevy had this really cool light that was under the hood in the late 90s. The X-ray. Yeah, that is an extra light.(…) Yeah, so Chevy had it too in the late 90s and it had a 30-foot cord on it and you could bring that light anywhere in the vehicle and work on shit.
(…)
Yeah, it was an under hood light that had a spool and it had a feel. Yeah, it had a 30-foot cord on it and you can put that light anywhere now a rock light works great for that. If it’s movable like there is a there’s a company called Lux. LUX lighting and there’s are just there’s are just magnet mounted so you can remove them and aim them somewhere else. The problem with them under your vehicle when you’re working on it is they’re usually aimed at your face because they’re aimed at the ground and you’re laying on the ground looking up. So they’re not that as beneficial as as most people would think. No,(…) I got the KC lights with magnets on the back of so I can move them. Yeah, yeah, you know what you should do. He’s got plenty of extra wiring to allow the movement. Oh shit.
(…)
I’ll say I’ll say this. They’re not exactly rock lights, but the gatekeeper off-road knuckle mounted like steerable knuckle mounted light. Those are cool. Those are awesome. I wouldn’t call them rock lights because they’re they’re Ford facing but you get those mounts put some Tyrio 606 is on there. Highly suggest that but also Greg what you should do with all those X K X K glow lights is put them on Rogers semi. Yes.
(…)
Oh my god. No, I was golf carts need the underglow.
(…)
I was going to mess with Tommy and put a set on his Polaris and he’d get really wound up over that. Yeah. So Greg you mentioned headlights and how great Tyree lights are wouldn’t it be nice if Tyree had headlights? I might actually be able to have something that’s a decent headlight in my gladiator. I’m quite certain that at some point they will because Eric is there and Eric doesn’t fuck around.
(…)
Well, I got a set of truck lights in my JK though.
(…)
Well, yeah, but they were really good. Truck lights are amazing. They’re you US made and manufactured just like Tyree
(…)
but I really do like truck lights and I know that you know people nowadays are like oh the rigid. No, they’re not they’re fucking truck like truck like bought rigid not the other way around don’t be dumb.
(…)
But yeah, they’re they really are a quality light. So I can’t say enough about them, but
(…)
we don’t need all the extra bullshit most of the time, even though we love to do it and everybody wants to accessorize their stuff because that’s the coolest part about a Jeep.
(…)
But yeah, all the bullshit lights fuck off.
(…)
Oh Eric and everybody else when you have time. This is something I wasn’t looking for it has happened across it. I did not know that this domain existed.(…) Eric you should go to lights before dot locker.
(…)
Did you register the other one that we didn’t get? It is April Fool’s Day. So just be careful.
(…)
Lights before dot locker the the domain is locker. So I thought that was really really strange.
(…)
And there you go.
(…)
We own Lights before lockers.com. Yeah, I know because you got it before I heard about it. Yeah, try to get it. Yeah, I called my IT guy immediately because I knew you heard about it. I would have redirected it to whatever. It would just be really funny.
(…)
Anyway, I just happened across that one. I went locker. Locker is a domain and I said, oh, wait a minute. Let me see if the lights before are there. So yeah, that’s pretty good.
(…)
I’m happy to redirect that one to you as well. So I just thought it was funny.
(…)
All right, guys. Well, that is our questions for tonight. Did anybody want to talk about EJS real quick? I mean, I know you guys been doing a lot of discussion on discord about all the Jeep talk show people that are going out there and I swear to God. I think there’s going to be more people there this year if no for another reason because I’m not going and but Steve Oh has some t-shirts some t-shirts not a lot. He has a lot of stickers. Don’t you? I do.
(…)
I said I do. Okay. Scared me. He knows the really appreciate it. If you guys would run those when you’re out there at EJS to help advertise the show and Steve Steve. Oh, or if you Bob or somebody is going to help collect those things before before you guys leave and that way we’ll have them available for future runs certainly for EJS next year and we’ll probably add to that so that we can have more people with the Jeep talk to logos. If you want to look at them, there is actually a picture of it on Steve’s Jeep on our discord server in the general channel.(…) Those little magnets will be going home with Rick. He just doesn’t know yet for the for the June event.
(…)
What did I do? You got to pay attention.
(…)
What’s going on with him? I figure with some of the meek magazines Rick for the event in hot springs. We can talk about it. Okay.
(…)
Yeah, first time hearing about it. Well, just thought just hit me. Yeah, and let’s see what else what else we have. We got stickers. We got shirts. We got the the the meek magnet. Oh, the flags by flags 25 Jeep talk show flag. So is this like the ones he got two years ago? Correct me on this if I’m wrong Bob if you’re still if you’re still here.(…) I’m here that they’re just like the ones you got a couple of years ago. They’re red. They have the the Jeep talk show logo on them and they’re really really nice quality flags. They’re the small like sports flags.
(…)
Yep, same thing. I wanted blue and so Steve O could fly it but Tony said fuck that guy. We’re doing red.(…) Oh hell no.
(…)
Everybody’s welcome to be a part of the the Jeep talk show whatever color you we don’t we don’t see color here. We just see Jeeps.
(…)
That’s not what we’re saying the other day.
(…)
So Tony’s going to paint his Jeep blue and be happy about it. That’s what I’m here to temper.(…) So to wash off blue Jeeps are the best Jeeps. That’s right.
(…)
All righty. Well, that is a show for us tonight. I hope everybody enjoyed it and appreciate everybody returning here. Eric is not our isn’t here for the first time but glad did you had time to make it here with us Eric. It’s always fun to hear from you and tie lights.(…) So anything you want to tell us about Tyree lights real quick. I mean anything to wear at EJS or something new. I mean you got the basics out now. You showed them off at SEMA. Baselines. Yeah, so we have those are available now on Tyree offroad.com.
(…)
You know $99 still made in America same all tested to the same standards as every Tyree light and they are wicked bright. If you saw the Instagram post I put up on Ken’s Jeep, we were all surprised at how bright and how dialed in they are. So I saw some $60 ones. What are the $60 ones? It’s just lower output version of the baseline.
(…)
How would you use those for people that don’t want to be blinded? Yeah, well, they’re more of a work way.
(…)
So it’s 1100 lumens versus the 2800 lumens that the new baselines are.
(…)
And we’ve got the new baselines come in a spot or a flood pattern.
(…)
But they’re I mean, they’re killer dude. I’d like I’m really surprised at how awesome they are.
(…)
But if you’re at EJS and you see any of the three Tyree Jeeps there will be Easter eggs on every single one of them of new product that is coming soon.
(…)
Can you ask questions?(…) Yeah, absolutely. Can we take the parts off?
(…)
Yeah, there’s I mean, literally every one of the Jeeps. You got this quick disconnects. Every one of the every one of the Jeeps has new product that is not released yet. And that’ll be coming very soon.
(…)
So you guys look for Tyree lights. Eric, you said Eric Cole and who else is gonna be there? Ken, Ken will be there. Really? I didn’t think Ken was going. Okay. Yeah. Oh, yeah, he’ll be there. So you guys will remember Cole and actually Ken too from from the show here being interviewed. So if you’ve ever been to one of these events, Cole’s usually the one that’s answering questions and demonstrating.
(…)
So yeah, he’s he’s this week installing a whole stack of parts on the the blue Tyree Jeep, the one of the blue Tyree Jeeps. The Ocean Blue? Yeah, the Ocean Blue JL.
(…)
Yeah, he’s got a bunch of stuff from from Rock Crawler from Bill Stein from Super Springs. There’s a bunch of stuff going on that this week.
(…)
Did he put the door pockets on it?
(…)
I’ll ask him tomorrow. I mean, I sent him. Oh, yeah, he’s had them for some time. Yeah, I know. I’ll write him up if he didn’t. Like Tony. He’s doing the Jeep Poxel way.
(…)
Yeah.
(…)
Yeah, it’s if you made them for JK half doors, you know, I’d run them Greg. I’d already had the JK tooling is in process. It’s. Yeah, but I’ve got the half doors though that have the early JK interior styling.
(…)
That doesn’t work for anything. Yeah, you’re you might be so well on that. Yeah,(…) you just don’t love JK’s dude. I get it. It’s fine.
(…)
If you are I’ll promise you this if you pay for the tooling, I will have it made right away.
(…)
I know that scam Greg. How’s the tooling going?
(…)
It’s it’s going it’s not done, but it is going.
(…)
So I saw a picture the other day of the grill mold.
(…)
But the JK doors they they’re too old. You know, the tooling is nearly done, but it’s just not done yet. Tell Cole there’s a room in the the door pocket where you can put a tire light there front and back.(…) Put extra ones in there. That’s your all. I’ll give him crap about it. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure. Yeah, I mean, it’s been months since they were sent to him.
(…)
That’s true. I mean, he does live in the tundra. He hasn’t had power for four days.
(…)
No, that’s kind of a shitty excuse. Yeah. No,(…) but he’s like he’s literally fighting bears off his front porch and with no electricity or able to take a shower.
(…)
