A guy finally bought his first Jeep! The "wrong year wrangler"! We needed something to tow behind our old RV, so the obligatory Jeep was acquired. I bought this old wrangler out of North Carolina and had it towed back to my shop where my Son and I will attempt to repair it, and hopefully it start, run, and drive once again!

    lot of people are going to see a video of a guy fixing up a car but I see a guy being a really good dad.
  • Hey Derek, just wanted to say thanks for keeping this show family friendly. It's one of the only car shows I feel comfortable watching around my little ones. I appreciate you!

    46:41 Father and Son workin on the rig. Darnit.... Sumthin in my peepers again. Anyone else missing their Dad right now? My hand's up. Awesome video as always. Take care of You and Yours.

    "Where's the fire extinguisher?" "I think we used 'em all." GOLD. šŸ˜„
  • Hey derek. So a few things 1- the 4.2/4.0 series of engines do run at 210. 2- the rust in the windshield frame is normal. Quadratec has replacement frames for fairly cheap 3- the weber carb is an aftermarket replacement. Factory came with Carter YF computer feedback carbs, which is why there was an O2 sensor. 4- find a donor YJ or TJ with the 4.0 and steal the AX15 . The BA10/5 was an extremely weak trans, and getting parts fornthem now is almost impossible. Keep up the good vidsos!
  • Hey Derek, Iā€™ve commented before, but I wanted to make sure you saw it. Itā€™s my senior year, and I wanted to honor you as a very influential person in my highschool career pushing me towards the trades, so I used ā€œIā€™ll be dippedā€ as my senior quote (I gave you credit for it). Thank you for everything you do, and if youā€™d like me to change it please let me know

    I love that boy's inquisitive nature. He's soaking it all up, Dad, great job!
  • @bachtomin213
    Derek, just one comment. You are the best dad ever. Sharing time with Bradley is one thing, but getting him time behind and in front of the camera, teaching him a skil?. Priceless.
  • @jeremyTallen1
    Its cool to see Little Grip Garage helping out the smaller youtube channels like VGG with a collaboration.
  • @RJSDZNS
    I love the way you talk to your kids, Derek. Always teaching but never condescending. You're the best car show on youtube, hands down!
  • @cmonbroitsme
    Me and the wife been trying for kids for 6-7 years. No luck. Seeing you and your boy working together really pulls on the heartstrings. You're a lucky man.
  • Muscle car guy here. Got a Jeep on impulse, itā€™s much more fun than I ever imagined. You will enjoy it!
  • @mikecurtis3315
    I work for jasper engine's and our factory in willow springs Mo. builds the 6 cyl AMC that has a 3 year 100,000 mile transferable warranty. Use that number on that tag and jasper should be able to tell you the mileage of the jeep when it was installed

    ā€œWhereā€™s the fire extinguisher? Uhā€¦ I think we used them all ā€œ. Thereā€™s gotta be a story somewhere in there šŸ˜‚
  • Something about you guys fixing that Jeep with the rain.. it was a very relaxing watch... I vote for more garage during rain content.
  • @italnkicbxr
    Kid doesnā€™t know how lucky he is. Youā€™re a good dad
  • @Hster68
    Most badly adjusted family ever? NOPE. Great to see a father and son so in-sync. The world needs about 300 million more families like this. You have my admiration and respect.

    A feller loves Fridays for three reasons. 1. The weekend 2. Cold wobble pops 3. VGG!!!!!!!!!
  • @fontana101
    Man I wish I had a dad like Derek growing up, your sons are so lucky!
  • The Holley cj kit bolted right up to my 4.2 87 YJ Like others stated ax15 swap it!! And find a 44 to swap along with SYE kit stock
