      Great video! Great camera work, clear instructions without all the bullshit commentary about how your dog is feeling or whatever most of the other people think I want to hear that I don't give a shit about. Thank you.

    O.K. So I've watched a boat-load of 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee repair videos. After all, my ZJ is over 26 years old. All I have to do is look at it cross-wise and something breaks, but it still runs great. These are THE BEST repair videos I've seen for my Jeep. Extremely well articulated and demonstrated... without all the other B.S. Every so often when you show your face, I have to chuckle!

  • @jamesweiss9928

    "we have no problems, only solutions!" great attitude, to the point and you are quite knowledgeable about the subject at hand. your 12 minute video is most other channels 30 min rambling.

    @08Cruiser Před 3 lety +2

    I gotta tell you....this video is AWESOME! My old 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I paid $500 for is going to be a great 4WD for me for years to come....with MANY THANKS for your great videos! If you lived in Utah, I could score you NUMEROUS repair jobs! Your descriptions and camera angles are SUPERB!!! Keep it up!

Keep doing your thing! Please!!!!
