thanks for the feedback! This video has gotten a little aged and needs a redo. if i ever get to that i'll be sure to incorporate your suggestions and look a little deeper at avenza

Yea i tried that first and only had limited success. So i cut it down as close as i could and ground down the rest. got the job done

glad i could help! thank you for watching!

Thanks for watching! These specifically fix the leak that happens right at that windshield frame seal, where it meets the door seal. Theyve done a great job for us, but if your leak is elsehwere, and just pools in the same place, your mileage may vary.

Same man same

07-17. 18 was a weird model year because both the Wrangler JK and the Wrangler JL were being sold. So if you have an 18 JK you dont always get included in these year-spans. I don't see any reason these wouldnt fit a 2018 JK. They will NOT fit a 2018 (or newer) JL.

Yea, I dont know why I didnt do that. It looked like it'd be a pain to get to, but in the end, I fought it every step of the way, so was it worth not taking the time? Not sure.

So far so good on these! It's been a while now since we installed these, they definitely improved the situation. We do sometimes get water inside, but we can usually blame that on the soft top not being seated properly on the tracks above the doors. I definitely would buy these again if I had a JK leaking at that windshield frame seal. But these are specifically to fix -that- problem, if your leak is elsehwere, they may not help.

They are in the description of the video, as well as amazon links.

Thanks for watching! I hope the video helped!

@@SWBCrawler Helped me to know and I shared your video with Trailmater's latest video upload, as I made a comment there. One of their employees used a filter on their camera and it dimmed the bright light, but you could still see the picture. Like looking through a pair of polarized sunglasses. It wasn't as dark as yours. So, I don't know if there is an in between setting or not. Maybe there is. I don't own a Go Pro.

You might be able to mitigate it by greasing the hinges periodically. but these liners are a more permanent solution.

this video is becoming a bit dated. it's from a few years ago. all of the apps involved have changed a bit.

Genius!

You just haven't smelled it in the right circumstances.

Ford Friction Modifier is where it's at! I love that smell!

Smells more like a cleaner than penetrating oil.

Awesome, glad the video was helpful!

Man. No question the JD2 is a better more versatile bender. But it is _not_ a $50 difference. jd2 with hydraulic and no die is over $900. Thanks for the tip on the lubrication though.

Lol. yep it changes from time to time. It's currently dyed red. ;)

Hey thanks for watching, I'm doing my best to try to use tools to translate your comment. i think you're suggesting I remove the bracket and get the liners out in the shop? Yes! thats a possiblity, but I wanted to avoid getting my hinges way out of alignment.

i was trying to avoid taking the hinges off. if i was doing that'll could have just used my press.

glad i could help!

yep! after i made this video, they listened. They sent it to their engineers and admitted it was a problem. sent me some of their fixed seals even!

The split i put in my rear window, at the zipper, when i installed mine, is like a 1"x.5" gap now. Doesnt leak. Im guessing I lucked out because its up at the top of the window, where the overhang from the top and side window protect it. Good luck with the new top!

i'm glad i could help!! I had the same issues (mentioned in the video), and got a heck of a run around from our dealer. this is why i do things myself! Hope the seals fix your problem!

I would have guessed timing as well, but it sounds like you did the work to make sure that was all in order. I do not know as much about the 3.6l as i might. I'm not sure if I can be much more help here. This short was the first time I really dug into the 3.6l.

@@SWBCrawler ok , I did notice the 36mm oil valve didn’t want to slide out of the intake phaser, do you think that would cause an issue ?

Yea, I dont think it matters. You could put the ball into the bushing first, but then the bushing would be that much harder to get into the end. This didnt damage the bushing (which is why I greased it before pressing it), and got the job done. Theyre holding up great so far!

​​@@SWBCrawlerOn my RC bushing it encircles the ball so the hole for the ball is 10 percent smaller than than the mount. I haven't tried but I don't think I'd be able to squeeze the ball into that bushing or I'd damage it if I hit it in. Essentially installation is reverse of disassembly. At 4:32 you would take that assembly and press it into the mount.

@@xcpointx Yea. like i said. i think it'd work either way. in my case it pushed in with very little resistance. no damage to the bushing. I don't know that i'd be able to hammer it in, if that's what you're trying.

You're welcome! Just be sure that the leaks youre having are actually because of the seals before ordering the replacements. Thats a decent chunk of money for a fix that doesn't fix your actual issue. Also, these are front door seals only.

Heck yea. This was meant to show you just what the degreaser alone does. If you want it really clean, you need to do more than spray and rinse.

they are available on amazon. the links in the description of the video should take you right to them. there are also part numbers in the video description. thanks for watching!

@@SWBCrawler Is there a certain brand that I need to look for

@@waynemartin1965 the links in the description should take you right to what you need to buy. don't they?

@@SWBCrawler Trying to make sure because I'm gonna have the dealer order them.And I want to make sure they are the right ones

You're welcome! Thanks for watching! best of luck with your leaks!

I had the same concerns. I Looked into it a bit before buying it, and found a statement from warn that the same warn engineering went into the vr series, just made by cheaper labor in china. Which makes me sad, but i like the price! Ive used the winch several times. One to recover myself from a pretty nasty situation where my tires were off the ground in a mud hole, i was resting on my diffs, and i was able to pull myself out. The other was a hummer H2 that was hung up on his skid plate, front tires off the ground, skid on a rock. I pulled him backwards with a snatch block. Ive done a number of smaller scale things with it too, and its holding up great. my ONLY complaint is the wireless winch controler. The battery died without even much use, it just died sitting in my recovery bag. Then, to replace it, the whole controler has to get taken apart, and the battery is not a standard grocery store battery. I THINK they have changed this design though, so look into that. Maybe its no longer a problem. I would recommend this winch, i like it, and its saved my bacon. Winch does winch things. :D

@@SWBCrawler Thanks soo much for the reply, Yea, I had a hard time finding very many reviews on this and it is because of the remote, it is like all the places have the same generic ad for it and no reviews. I found one review that said it now comes with only a wireed remote and so I got a photo from my friend last night and sure enough, the box is marked right on it that the remote is now a plug in only 12.5 ft cable remote. I am fine with that anyways because that is the only remote I have ever owned on a winch except for the rugcel that I just had to send back before using since it was wound back wards and they have no support so I was worried using the in button to go out and out buttom to go in might eliminate or adversely change the operation of the brake so I sent it back. As for the warn, now that you chimed in I bet Im going to love it for my 95 Sahara. With the 4 inch lift nad 33x12.5's I think it will be the perfect add on and other then throwing a jacket over the cable when winching and only being able to use the remote wired I think it will be great anyways.I prob would have bought the Badlands if I lived in the US but by the time I shipped it and got it to BC Canada it was way too much, Anyways, just doing the CAD on my YJ so hopefully my friend will bring it next week and I can go find some mud and hills to play on. I love my 2006 Tacoma but there is nothing short of a dirt bike in the bush as ripping around in a door off roof off jeep with the stereo blasting and the sun beating in on ya. Can't wait ;)

@@alkholic1950 sounds like a blast man! Now that i think about it. this winch had a wireless remote recall a year or two ago my remote wasn't affected. their fix was to just send everyone a wired remote!

@@SWBCrawler My daughter and I have matching 2006 tacomas but mine is the trd offroad and hers is the base but they look the same and last week I replaced my brakes and rotors and calipers etc and this week she heard scraping and her truck is behind my shop now lol.. Anyways, when I get that done this week I will be back to working on my yj and my buddy brings the winch on thursday at the latest so Ill get that on and go diggin... can't wait to try it out and hoping the trails are still full of mud and crap not dried out for the summer.

tires and wheels are next on the list. we're thinking 35s though

i don't know if the jk has the same valve. it may, but it's a lot of work to get in there to find out that it doesn't

thanks for watching!

yea man. definitely got out of the habit. trying to fix that!

absolutely! thanks for watching! Heck, thanks for noticing!

yea i'll never understand why the trans doesn't have a drain plug. seems common on auto transmissions though.

I believe that's the connection to the solenoid pack on the transmission.

Guess that depends on how expensive the others are. True though. it was cheaper when i made this video.

we've had ours for several PA winters now and it's still in great shape! Thanks for watching!
