Hey everyone! Greg from CARiD.com and in this video we're going Jeeping.

Well that was a lot of fun. There really is nothing better than tearing through

the trails no matter what you're driving. But out of all the vehicles that you

could be driving off-road there's just something different about a Jeep. And

this right here is our 2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Now I know most of you

watching are probably thinking to yourselves - a JK Wrangler? But what about

the new JL? Well as great as the new JL Wrangler is Chrysler Corporation did

manufacture the JK from 07 to the 18. And there are tons of these Jeeps still

out on the road. Too many of them still sitting on stock suspension and tires.

But the point being is that the JK is still very relevant in the off-road

community. So it was about time that we went ahead and built our own.

So this is our 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon and in its stock form

I gotta say - this thing is pretty damn capable off-road.

Now because it's a Rubicon it's more than just a few steps up from the basic

sport model when it compares to what's underneath. This thing has upgraded Dana

44 axles front and rear with electronic lockers and 4:10 gears. Jeep also equips

the Rubicon right from the factory with a 4:1 low-range transfer case,

electronic front sway bar disconnects for better articulation and even factory

rock rails. Now all this is great. And really a bargain when you think about

all the great off-road gear that you get for the price. But this is CARiD. So we

can't leave this thing stock. So the first thing that we have to cross off

our list is getting this thing up in the air and that's exactly what we're gonna

do today. So here is just a taste of what's to come. Now like I said - getting

our JK lifted is our top priority. So we're going to start by installing Teraflexes

4-inch short arm lift kit with 8 flex arms, springs, track bar and

optional one-inch spring spacers and of course all the necessary brackets and

hardware. Now I decided to go with the 4 inch kit because really these JK's

don't need to be lifting the sky to perform better off-road and I also want

our JK to still be easy to drive on the street as a daily driver. So to

accomplish both of those goals Teraflexes 4-inch kit was the perfect choice.

It's also going to give us just enough room to stuff some 37-inch tires

underneath. Now when it comes to the shocks we chose to upgrade from the

standard 9550 shocks that come with the kit and

bolting up a set of Fox 2.0 Performance Series shocks with external reservoirs,

tuned for this specific kit. And we also have a lot of other odds and ends to

bolt up in the process. But let's get to work and I'm going to show you what else

I have planned as we go.

All right guys, so we're gonna first start in the backend of our Jeep and start

with the rear suspension. Now the reason I wanted to do this is because the rear

is a little bit easier than the front and I figured we can go ahead and

knock it out quick. Now what we need to do is essentially lower the entire rear

differential and axle assembly so we can get out our stock Springs and then start

installing our new springs as well as of course our Flex arms. Now to do that

we're gonna need to disconnect all of our hydraulic brake line brackets, ebrake

cable bracket, remove our track bar, sway bar links and then remove our shocks so

we can lower the entire rear axle and get our springs out. The first thing we

need to do is get these small wheels and tires out of our way. Remove all wiring

harnesses attach the rear axle which includes the ABS harnesses and the

electronic Locker harness.

Unbolt the hydraulic brake line brackets from the frame and the ebrake cable

bracket under the Jeep. Remove the sway bar links on both sides and then the

track bar bolt connecting it to the frame and disconnect the differential

vent hose. With post jacks or a floor jack support the weight of the rear axle. With

the rear axle supported loosened the lower shock bolt at the axle and then

remove both the driver and passenger side shocks.

Then lower the rear axle and remove the stock coil springs. Alright guys, that

didn't take us too long. We now have all of our stock components out including

our coil springs and shocks and now our rear axle is solely supported on the

post checks. Now it's time to get some of our Teraflex parts installed. Starting

with our new lower flex arms. Now remember - because the entire weight of

the rear axle is only support on the post jacks replace one at a time on each

side. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna start with the driver side lower

then move on to the driver's side upper and then vice versa on the other side.

Let's get started. Remove both the axle bolt and frame bolt

connecting the control arm. Thread in the grease fitting to the new upper arm and

install into the Jeep with the Flex arm joint on the frame side.

Remove the lower arm on the same side unbolting from the frame and then the

axle. Install the new lower arm with the rubber bushing on the frame side and the

Flex joint on the axle. And just repeat the exact same process on the opposite

side of the Jeep.

Alright guys, we have all of our new flex arms installed in the rear of our Jeep.

Now it's time to get our new lift coils installed. Now Teraflex

does give you the option to either keep or throw away your factory spring

solators. It's a good idea to keep them if you do plan to install and off-road

rear bumper or maybe an oversized spare tire just because of the fact they give

you that little bit of height that you need to support that extra weight. Now

we're also going to be installing a set of coil spring spacers. Now Teraflex

does give you half inch spacers that totals for the 4 inches of lift.

However we upgraded to their 1 inch thick spacers at all four corners. This

is gonna give us just enough lift that we want on our Jeep. After those are

installed we're going to go ahead and bolt up a set of our new Fox shocks,

get the weight of the rear axle supported on those, get these post jacks

out of the way and then finish up the rear installation. Coat the spring

spacers with a little bit of grease to make them easier to pop in.

Now you can lower the axle as low as possible and install your new coil springs.

You can now grab your new set of shocks and bolt them in to help support the weight of the axle.

Remove your stock bump stops, then apply a little bit of grease to the new bump

stop extensions and press them in.

Guys, don't forget when you're installing this rear bump stop block, just make sure the shelf of it

is actually facing towards the front of the Jeep. That's the orientation that it

needs to be in before you go ahead and bolt it down.

All right guys, I just wanted to pause for a second and talk about these coil spring

retainers. And this is a very important step within doing this installation. Now

when you're doing it can be kind of a pain in the neck, but they do provide you

with this tool - to actually hold the nut underneath this spring pad on the

opposite side. You can get in there just enough to hold the nut in place, put your

plate down and then the bolt through the plate and then bolt it into place.

All right Guys, so at this point we're pretty much all finished up with the

rear end lift on our JK right here. Now we got our new flex arms in, our new coil

springs in, our Fox shocks are in. We have a couple odds and ends that we need to

attend to. Now we're first going to a bolt up our brand

new extended sway bar links, then get our new track bar bracket bolted up into

place and after that it's just reconnecting a couple of wiring

harnesses that we originally disconnected in our vent hose. And the one

thing I'm not going to do now and you can make your decision when you do your

lift if you do it now or later - is install the extended brake lines. I'm

gonna go ahead and wait till we have everything done and then do all the

brake lines at once and then do the entire system. Install the new extended

sway bar links into the sway bar, then the axle and bolt them into place.

Remove the track bar from the axle and only install the bolt on the frame side.

With the track bar hanging remove the driver side lower flex arm bolt and

install the new track bar relocation bracket over the axle and then bolt it in.

All right Guys, so as you can see - we went ahead and installed our new rear track

bar bracket, but if you take a closer look right here it doesn't quite line up

to that top hole that we need it to. So a good trick - get yourself a ratchet strap

or a come-along hook one end onto the frame itself the other end onto the axle

just to shift it forward enough to get that bolt on.

Now reconnect your vent hose and all the wiring that was previously disconnected.

All right guys, now that we have the whole rear end of our Jeep finished up

it's time to move on to the front. Now it's gonna be very similar to the rear

end disassembly that we just did. We need to get out everything that supporting

the weight of the front axle. So that's going to include our sway bar links, our

shocks, our front track bar, get that all out of the way, lower the front axle down

so we can get our springs out and then we can start throwing these new Teraflex

parts at it. Just like the rear support the weight of the axle and remove the

stock shocks and sway bar links.

Remove the track bar bolt connecting it to the frame and both hydraulic brake

line brackets. To make it easier to lower the axle loosen all the control arm

bolts. With the axle lowered remove your stock coil springs and bump stops.

All right guys, just like the rear of our Jeep we now have our front end

completely torn down and it's now time to start bolting up some new parts.

We're gonna first start by putting in our Teraflex upper spring spacer with

the factory isolator and then move on to our new bump stop extensions. After that

it's gonna be all about getting these flex arms out and the new Teraflex flex

arms in. Now there's one thing that I want to make very clear about these

Flex arms. Teraflex designs them specifically for an exact location and

orientation on your Jeep and each one of them are labeled with a sticker decal on

top. Just make sure to follow this exact instruction of where they go and in what

position they go on your Jeep to make sure your install is completely smooth.

Apply some grease to the bump stop extensions and using a block of wood or

rubber mallet press them into the factory mount. Unbolt the factory lower

control arms from the frame and then the axle. And just like the rear - install your

grease fittings and adjust the new flex arms to the appropriate length.

Then remove the upper arms in the same procedure and install your new upper

flex arms.

All right guys, so this front-end part of our lift is actually going very smooth.

Now at this point we're ready to go ahead and throw in our new lift coils.

Before we can do that we need to go ahead and bolt up our brand new bump

stop spacers onto our factory spring pads. Now to do that it will require a

little bit of drilling. What you're going to want - to do is locate the center of

the factory spring pad and drill 5/16 inch hole. Once that's done - take your

self tapping bolts that are supplied with the kit to both these into place

and then, and only then, you can throw in your new lift coils. But once those are

in we can then bolt up our shocks and we are one step closer to finishing the

front end of this build. Use a center punch to mark your hole. Then starting

with a smaller bit drill out your factory spring pad to a 5/16 inch hole

and bolt the new bump stop spacers into place. If you can't get your front axle

low enough to install your Springs using a spring compressor can make the job a

lot easier.

Install your new extended length shocks first bolting it to the body and

then the axle.

Take your extended-length sway bar links and bolt them first into the sway bar

and then the axel. All right guys, so at this point the majority of our lift is

installed on our JK. But we just have a few odds and ends that we need to attend

to before we can go ahead and get our JK out on the trails. Now due to the massive

increase in the lift type the first thing that we need to do is install our

extended brake lines. And because the brake system will be open that's also

going to include bleeding out the entire brake system once we're done. But there

is one component that should never be overlooked especially when you're

lifting in JK this high. And that's your front drive shaft. Plain and simple.

The front drive line simply can't handle intense off-road abuse. And because of

our new increased lift height it also creates an incredibly drastic angle. And

that's actually dangerously close to our front exhaust system as well. So, to make

sure that we don't run into any issues, we reached out to our friends at Adams

Driveshaft and we decided to go with their 1310 heavy-duty front drive shaft

with sealed U joints, that's specifically designed to handle up to a 37 inch tall

tire and a six inch lift. Now compared to the stock driveshaft the overall

diameter and of the tubing is also smaller (only 2 inches to be exact).

Which is definitely going to help us with our exhaust system clearance. But to

be 100% confident that we won't have any issues with exhaust contact out in the

woods - we're also going to install Teraflexes exhaust spacer kit. Now this kit

uses two exhaust inserts that will move the Y pipe just enough to give us plenty

of clearance from our front drive shaft under full articulation. Unbolt the stock

drive shaft from the transfer case and the front axle and using a rubber mallet

remove the stock yoke from the transfer case. Swap the factory O ring over to

the new yoke and installed on the transfer case splines. Coat the factory

nut with black RTV to prevent any leaks. And then torque down the new yoke.

With the new yoke installed bolt your new drive shaft to the transfer

case and then the front differential.

Spray all your exhaust bolts with penetrating oil and loosen the band

clamp connecting the Y pipe to the mid pipe and chisel off the factory rivet.

Now loosen both exhaust flanges connecting the Y pipe to the mid pipe

and install your exhaust spacers.

Loosen the factory steel line from the brake

hose and unbolt the brake hose from the caliper. This job can get pretty messy so

make sure you have a drain pan on hand. Tighten the new hose to the caliper and

the stock steel line and use the supplied bracket to bolted to the frame.

Then it's time to bleed the brakes.

All right guys, bolt by bolt we are getting

closer and closer to finally finishing this project and getting to thrash this

thing out in the woods. But we're not there just yet. Now we're at the point we

need to get our Jeep back on the ground and finish up some suspension tweaks -

like bolting up our new Fox steering stabilizer, our adjustable track bar and

then torquing down all of our control arms. But to do that we need a set of

wheels and tires. And we have a set of wheels and tires. But let's just say

they're a little wider than normal. So they will not clear with these stock

bumpers. So to get a little bit more clearance we reached out to Westin and

we're gonna bolt up their Westin Snyper Stubby Front bumper. Let's get

started. Remove all the plastic trim under the front bumper, then unbolt the

four bolts holding the bumper to the frame.

Drop in the winch of your choice into place and bolt up the new fairlead and

d-rings. Then just remove the factory grille and run the wiring to the battery.

For the rear bumper remove your spare tire and carrier from the Jeep. And then

all of the bolts and bumper to the frame.

Grab a buddy to help and lift up the new bumper and bolt it directly to the frame.

With the Jeep back on the ground bolt up the new track bar on the frame side and

have a friend turn the wheel to line up the axle side bolt. Adjust your new track

bar to have a total length of 33 inches and make the final adjustments on the

alignment rack. Next unbolt your factory steering stabilizer and bolt up the new

stabilizer of your choice. With the weight of the Jeep on the suspension

tighten all of your new flex arms.

All right guys, so we got our new Westin bumpers bolted up to our Jeep and we got

it back on the ground. Which means we have our new wheels and tires bolted up,

and let me show you what we got. These right here are Dropstars 652 BM Wheels

in a satin black finish with milled aluminum accents along each spoke.

They're a massive 22 by 14 with a negative 76 offset and we wrapped them

in 37 inch Nitto Trail Grappler mud terrain tires. Now that we got our Jeep

back on the ground. All the final tweaks are done. Let's go take this thing out

for a ride.

All right guys. Well, that about wraps up our project JK Wrangler build. And if you

like how our Wrangler turned out and want to do the same to yours - head over

Now as for me - I'm gonna go ahead and do some wheeling.

Jeep Wrangler | WD 40 on BFGoodrich KO2 Tires - Duration: 5:35.

Welcome to mikegolden Games it's finally spring now and as you can see my

tires are really dirty from the winter so I'm gonna be cleaning them up so

here's the product we're gonna be using we're gonna be using the Turtle Wax

wheel and tire clear and wd-40 first we're gonna see how the tire cleaner

does and then I've heard wd-40 is actually really good I'm making the

tires look you know really nice and black and just really clean looking so

anyways here are my tires and as you can see the winter really is rough on your

tires makes them really dirty and just like dirt just grit from the road all

that salt just really makes everything really

nasty looking you can see how dirty these are like let's do this yeah it's

pretty dirty I'm gonna try this Turtle Wax tire clear and see how this is

pull that away we'll just go right into it damn shot look at this shit

child-resistant nozzle to press tab twist open what tab II took this is uh

this is okay we all know how these child locks are they're just for adults that

make them look stupid all right here we go so we're cocked in right and I go

just see how this works oh there we go yes we're just gonna get

it on there we're gonna let it soak for a few minutes I'm not sure how long but

we'll come back in a few minutes after you know just what it's it we'll see

what it looks like let's just get it all on it mmm looks good now this is tire

and wheel cleaners so we are gonna spray it in here as well see how this stuff

works hopefully it works good actually it looks like it's clean them that dirt

up pretty good might be a little hard to see on the camera it should be fine you

can see it's really pulling that dirt off seems like it's doing a really good

job so I'm gonna go around and do this to all the tires so I just gotta finish

spraying the last tire on the other side and as you can see it's just pulling the

dirt off it's looking better already looks like I might need to get some more

up here and then I'm gonna get my hose and wash it off and then we'll see how

they look but all right you could get a cup of water too probably but that'll

take a while so I'm just gonna go you guys all right I got my hose here so

let's go over here and just spray it down

looking pretty good they do have a power washer but that takes a little more time

to set up which I actually did setup yesterday for the first time since you

know last summer or fall

we need to spray some more cuz it's still a little dirty

okay I'm using an iPhone iPhone Ted so I can get it as what as I want it I'm

gonna try not you though just because

that dirt coming off looks like we're gonna need a little more on there but so

far that looks pretty good sprint down one more time hopefully we

can get all the grime off trying to get this back to white the BF goodrich you

know logo or the text used to be white so anyways let's try and get this

sprayed down some more gonna go spray down the other tires is like on this one

still see on the edge there's still some caked on mud so hopefully we can get

this all cleaned off and we'll see what the wd-40 does I'm just gonna use your

quick paper towel and wipe this off really quick see if that works look at

that that is working a lot better okay if you're gonna do this I'd say get a

brush first I didn't get one so I'm just using this paper top I'm just kind of

wipe off the dirt that's on the logo here alright so what I did is I just

kind of wiped it with my hand and that basically made the dirt come off didn't

really stick to my hand either so overall that looks pretty good so now

I'm gonna let it dry for a second here then I'm gonna spray it down with the

wd-40 and that looks got the wd-40 here it's not

completely dry but for the sake of the video I'm just gonna spray it down and

we'll see how it looks so just kind of you know overall just get it what

and let's just spray this whole thing down and see what it looks like what the

entire surface and it's really caked up in here with the road grime and brake

dust even though I am using ceramic brakes you know there's still all the

crap from the road that just gets all caked up onto your tires so it's gonna

need some more cleaning but like I said for the sake of the video let's just do

that and see how it looks and let that sit for a minute and then probably do

one more coat because there is still water on there but overall let's back up

here that looks pretty good I gotta say it looks really nice

alright there we go let her sit for a minute now looking pretty good you'll

see how it is when it dries off alright guys so I'm gonna leave the video here

let me know what you thought in the comments below have a great day guys and

see you next time maybe kids are subscribing if you

haven't already
