    This is awesome information. Jerry has a wealth of knowledge. If only most "Jeep Service Techs" were as sharp.

    Hi Brad, what I do for washing the engine compartment, mix up 1/2 Simple Green & 1/2 water. Spray everything down ( cool engine), then just use a garden hose. Less pressure than a pressure washer. Less chance of forcing water into important components. Simple Green is mild enough, does a good job of cleaning, & rinses clean with no residue. You can blow off a lot of the water with a leaf blower to dry. I've been doing it for years with no problems. Love the channel!!
  • Comment for the algorithm. Everyone needs a mechanic friend, preferably a mechanic friend who knows your car better than you do.

    Replace your key clicker battery every major trip. My son couldn't start his car when the little watch battery died.

    Great advice Jerry and Brad, I will be tightening the upper and lower ball joints on my JLUR tomorrow. Awesome update 04/08/2023: tightening the loose front lower ball joints fixed my squeaking clanking front end issue I was hearing. Thank you so much gentlemen, that was bothering me for months. I have referred my friends to come watch your vid here for great advice.

    Great tips for Jeeping and MAINTENANCE. Thanks Trail Recon.
  • @Aaron-ge1hy
    Thank you gentlemen for your generosity in sharing your time and valuable experience!
  • Superb advice! My Rubicon still has all of its original hoses. Have about 41,000 miles on the Jeep. It will be eleven years since taking delivery of it on the 17th of this month. My hoses, the ones I can easily see from up top with the hood open, all "look" fine. From what your mechanic said in your discussion with him today, I'll get my hoses replaced ASAP. (Tell your mechanic: "Molokai could use a first-rate auto mechanic!") Great advice as always! Andy McKane

    Thanks Brad...Jerry knows his stuff. There aren't very many walk through videos like this showing what you should look for before you go out. I'm one of those that like you learned the hard way. With a couple of trail failures. I now inspect before going out and if I found something I'm not sure of take it to my local shop to give it another once over. It's less expensive than if you ignore it. Thanks again for this great video.
  • @DuaneCaldwell
    Great tips and discussion guys! Useful tips regardless of what rig is being run.
  • @stevefoster61
    What an awesome video! It would be great to see what Jerry brings out on the trails (tools, gear, etc)!!
  • @taurota1554
    Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
  • @jeffquick7917
    Solid info and definitely some food for thought on my ever-evolving JKU project…love the variety of topics covered Brad.. both from you and your family, please…keep it up!
  • Seen a lot of your videos and this one meets my top 10. Tons of info. I have an 07 JK and I would enjoy seeing you go through the same detail as you did on your JL. Keep up the great videos. And have a are trip
  • @TealOxAdv
    Awesome video with lots of great information. Thanks for sharing.
  • @wn0x
    This is awesome Brad! Thank you Jerry for running through the list of things to check. This really takes the mystery out of the common things to look for. Have you ever run into the "Performance Limited Service Fuel System" error displayed onn the instrument cluster on the 22/23 JL's?
  • @nativetexson
    Jerry is a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for this video because I picked up some good info. Cheers-
