Let me get that 07 when your done
i would like to see a series where you guys take the modifications seriously
You guys should really consider fully building out that Willy’s. Engine swap, new suspension, and all that would be great to watch.
They need more practice behind the wheel first
Looks like the CJ is severely lacking in gearing.
100%
Driver mods go along way, and so does the right gears and tires
You’re on the wrong channel for that…😂
It's a shame they didn't take this more seriously by using the full budget. Andre's was thmost capable but would have been even better by spending the thousands he had left
Agreed. Literally any and every offroad part you can want is available for a KJ. Proper coil lift, lockers, skid plates, heck even solid front axle swaps... But no. They did literally almost nothing.
@@jasonjulian1 for me, they don't care, easiest path, of to next videos
@@TomaszbtdZiobrowski agreed. just mention the sponsor a minimum number of times and move onto the next video for more clicks and likes.
Seriously! Most build series like these end up going over budget and having to sell parts to make back on the budget. Disappointed TFL 😢
Remember best preparation is air down tires
Andre did the best in this series. Bought the cheapest most caplable jeep, and was able to put more modifications.
Except all he did was slap in a $150 spacer kit and a set of tires.
@@JS-pv3df500$*
I'm sure it was unsafe and scary, but I laughed way too hard everytime Tommy flew down a hill uncontrollably!
And when he was jumping around like a rabbit while saying: I LOVE MY JEEP. 🤣😂😅🤣🤣😅
All of us old jeep guys always say we love are jeeps no matter what happens in it
The look on his face when it happened had my dying. 🤣🤣🤣
If he had of used 4 low it would have walkes down slow an safer
Andre has the best jeep....best of both worlds!
Tommy’s lack of brakes going downhill made me chuckle. He basically was just holding on and letting gravity have its way with him.😂
Surprised he didn't use HILL DESCENT CONTROL
@@mikefoehr235or the parking brake
Its really beating him up in there too.
I'm also amazed how well the KK Liberty does with VERY LITTLE modification!
Andre’s liberty was the best JEEP there. Approach and departure angles were great and it’s still modern and comfortable enough to get home in. It did everything the CJ did + more.
That CJ5 really makes you appreciate just how comfortable modern vehicles really are
Yeah it's more Tractor than car at this point, but modern tractors are pretty nice now too.
My back hurts just watching Tommy lol Good job guys!
What happened to the episode of bringing them to Toby? I assume Andre still had budget left. Would have loved to see him add a lunchbox locker to the rear.
Seemed rushed tbh, tommy especially definitely did not have a full budget used well. Pretty disappointing for me, I really enjoyed getting them onced over and competition is always fun to watch, but there isn't much competition when you can't spend the time to try.
Andre would've destroyed everyone if he got to use the full budget
Focusing on quantity over quality. I think they could have extended the series and done more. But they push lots of videos between all the channels. More modifications would not have increased the resale.
Yeah, I think they crapped the bed this time around. Clearly didn't dump all of Andre's leftover money into his Liberty. Just sort of feels like a Falken advertisement. Let's hope for better next time.
Gears and lunchbox lockers in the CJ would have been unstoppable as well.
Tfl should do a modernization series for the CJ. Engine, suspension, brakes, ect.. After completion, rerun the gauntlet with a split screen comparison video. Tommy really needed a 10 point harness to help keep his cheeks and limbs from flailing about.
Tommys spine now needs an alignment
This is a great series! Watching Tommy get beat up & bounced around really gives an appreciation for how much 4x4 vehicles have changed.
Tommy had the most fun for sure! This shows why less is more when it comes to sensations.
Yeah, brings back memories of my carbureted YJ. Constantly stalling, always hot or cold, top unsnapping on the highway, but I'd give anything to have it back.
More cheap series please!!!
Tommy bringing back memories from when he blew the tires in the Defender. No crawlin’ just haulin’
Andre’s Liberty should have gotten #1 🎊 🎉
Gotta respect the Liberty! I have a 2007 Renegade with 31’s and it really can keep up with the big boys on the NE terrain at least in Ohio
@@serafin1352 same here. Threw a lift and a rear locker in it too. Been a great rig
I have a 04. I need to rebuild some of the front end suspension, but overall it’s a fun little Jeep to drive around.
@@jakegroenig5820 yah my front end could use a rebuild as well. Still kicking tho!
Got a lifted 2003 sport on 31s and it's climbed over every obstacle put in front of it no problem. Fill up with camping gear and toss a couple kayaks on top and we can go just about anywhere. I love it because it reminds people that Libs ARE in fact Jeeps capable of doing Jeep stuff.
Laughed pretty hard at Tommy bouncing around in that Jeep. Crazy stuff
Tommye is just getting beat up in his old Jeep. My back is in pain just looking at the torture he is going through.😂
When I was off-roading with a guide out in Moab what he really stressed was smooth easy acceleration up the obstacle. Essentially find the obstacle with your front tire and then smoothly roll on, and sometimes you need to give it a bump. That's how I see them do it on the off-road channels that I watch. Whenever you guys do these you're always very start and stop or else you just full send. Now these vehicles don't necessarily belong on this trail in the first place, but I still feel like you would have more success if you could accelerate more smoothly. And maybe you do it off screen, but I also don't see much in the way of rock stacking or things like that. I also agree with everybody who said that they could have definitely modded them more. Sorry about the negativity, I hope everyone had fun.
It’s not so negative, seems like constructive criticism to me. So many commenters pop in just to put folks down, with nothing to offer.
I generally agree (the old land rover quote - "As slow as possible as fast as necessary"). In this case for Tommy, I think that Jeep didn't have the luxury of being smooth becase of the lack of power. For the rock step he pinballed off of, I'm fairly sure even in low range he would have struggled to get up the ledge with his power deficit. But overall good advice
I had a smile the whole time watching this video. I always like these series
I left work early just to see this...once again I appreciate the time you put into these moab videos..Thanks TFL !!!
GR8 JOB GUYS 💯🤙🏻😎
Now that was fun! Best TFL series yet. Thanks guys.
I never get tired of seeing these four in the video. You guys are the best and we love these kind of series.
Having had a CJ5 it brought back good memories and terror from watching Tommy bouncing madly, the rig creaking and banging…. Say what you will fit nostalgia but new 4wd’s have come soooo far. Running Finns and Hells Revenge in an FJ60 and having the carb starve in inclines then upgrading to an 80 series Cruiser and running those trails felt like a huge jump in trail ability as I imagine going from a CJ or YJ and going to a TJ or a JK. 😆
Thanks gang for the laughs especially the bonus material at the end. Keep em coming. Love these series and we need more rants on the talk shows!!!
Great series! Cheap toyotas next!
What do you think, first gen fourrunner, first gen sequoia, and first gen rav4
@@yeahman1975 thats perfect
I had a 67 CJ5 with the Buick/Dauntless (gutless) v6. Watching Tommy bounce around in that CJ is bringing back memories!
I was thinking a TJ Rubicon axles, suspension, and 4.0L straight 6 with the 6 speed manual would be awesome for Tommy's Jeep.
Ironically, I think the second gen Liberty with Andre’s Liberty’s mods would be a monster.
I have a KK with those mods and totally agree. Just a 2.5 lift and 31's tranforms the 2nd gen
I absolutely loved this video! It's at the top of my favorites list and it really made my day...thanks guys.
So fun to watch the whole series! Thanks guys!
That was a lot of work but a lot of fun! Thank you all for making this series, I have new respect for the lowly Liberty!
I love the fact TFL is showing a clean 200k mile liberty on here. I fight and fight with people that Chrysler cars do the job when the owners do. This is a textbook example. I see both of these liberty’s as long as aspen and Durango E V E R Y D A Y in mass here in Detroit. They are literally everywhere. So are the last 3-4 generation town and country / grand caravan, and last 4 generations of ram. With a dose of stratus and Sebring 2.4, and some neons. These are all very old cars , yet I see them out Working .
Omg this is why I love when u guys go to Moab❤
109 degrees and Roman has you wearing shorts. Brilliant! We need Tommy to take over ASAP!!!
Nothing but awesome entertainment from you guys.
When Tommy referenced Who’s line is it anyway ? 😂 I love that show…
I can tell you guys are having a blast with this challenge. I also love that the guys picked Liberty's. You can find them pretty cheap and for most applications, they are plenty capable so they make for a great build. I also love Tommy's enthusiasm for an authentic Jeep. He really shows that life is more than A.C and leather seats.
Its amazing how little suspension travel that CJ has. I guess you need like 10 psi in those tires for at least SOME suspension.
Great job guys always fun always Entertaining and funny
Thank you guys what an amazing trip and what an amazing series Impressed with Red Liberty 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I just laugh every time Tommy takes his turn, no way can I handle getting tossed around in the cab like that.
KJ FTW. put a proper OME lift kit on it, some properly sized tires (what did you guys use? 245/70R16 on a 16x7 wheel? if so, too tall and wide), cut the fender liners properly and pound over the pinch welds. if you have a little more cash throw in at least a lunch box locker in the rear diff and you'd have yourself a cheap honey badger.
Tommy looked petrified on the way down, and was dying in the heat but man he's got a pair! Good on you Tommy!
Best off-road channel.
I love these cheap jeep challenge videos.
Tommy's positive attitude is a total 180 from how I would be feeling driving that old Jeep.
“Watch this!” …. Engine dies 😂😂😂
Great video as always, love having all the guys together. Been watching since the early days, I consider you guys friends and family at this point. Such a fun time.
not a liberty fan by any means but Andre is the clear winner here
Tommy's jeep commentary 👌 😂😂😂
The CJ would be so much better with new socks and cleaning up the leaf springs so that they actually have some travel. But was fun to watch!
The coat hangar look is classic hahaha
The CJ is a real keeper guys!
Going down Frame Bender Tommy looked like Ace Ventura! Freaking Classic!!!
I learned to drive in a 66 CJ-5. I loved that Jeep!
Tommy needed ac breaks in between shots lol. Its freaking hot man!
Love the music dropping out when the CJ5 stalls!
Actually impressed by that red Liberty. Looks good and performed pretty well!
Roman actually said something funny, “make a cheap Jeep even cheaper “😂, Nathan was the whiiiiiner.
You guys are great, you guys don’t fully destroy cars, but still give them a beating at times for challenges. You guys are like the next Top Gear.
The chin spoiler in the KK is user removable by just a couple of clips, so you can easily remove it for off road, and you get a non-insignificant increase in the approach angle. You guys should do it!
These guys are living the dream! Love seeing the quality of the videos continuing to get better and better and all the cool drone shots, keep the great content coming!!!
Bleepin' jeep does it right with his budget builds
Watching Tommy tall self bounce around the small jeep and minimal brakes reactions made me laugh every time
😂😂 Tommy looked like Ace Ventura going up One Tree Hill!!!
Awesome video guys!!! Love the manual CJ
What a great series, you guys really nailed this one
The liberty was the best, but I love the style of the jet
Absolutely loved this series. Would love to see more of this. A little bit of time in the garage, a little bit of time on the trail, and all good fun. A++
This one is good… but I would’ve preferred something like one of the older 4x4 challenge. We didn’t know which vehicle they bought until the series actually aired, while in this case they made about 30 videos on all those jeeps so we knew what vehicles they actually had. Aside from that tho the filming and everything of this series is VERY well done
Yeah they kind of ruined the surprise didn't they? With the other episodes before airing this. It was still fun to watch but I was wanting to wait until the last second to find out what they did to the jeeps
You guys really outdid yourselves on this one. Fantastic.
Tommy could have got up that. Needed to be in 4 low - locked - and granny gear. 🤦♂️
Love the cheap Jeep series.!!!
Wish there was a CJ vs Samurai showdown
A Dad and his 3 Student Drivers! HA HA HA!! What a fun video to watch! Thanks for the great content.
Tommy, first gear and low range, let the engine and transmission do all the work. Keep your foot off the clutch when descending a hill.
Hell yes to The Aquabats shirt.
Love love love this series, way to go Tommy with the CJ5
The Bosses son always WINS !
You mean the co-owner?
I havent watched this yet but that cj5 will crush the competition 🍻
I appreciated this series and want to see it expanded upon. Glossing over the details, not using their budget on upgrades and giving us a breakdown of how the funds were used, seemingly arbitrary scoring system and some of the more goofy driving made are things that made the series less enjoyable for me personally. That being said, great job and I'm looking forward to y'all's future content.
I hope you can keep those Cheap jeeps for the winter months.
I feel like it’s funner and more interesting seeing older vehicles off roading since most of the time people will buy older vehicles to off road cause it won’t hurt as much if they get damaged
Great Sunday morning entertainment guys!
Love those KJ libertys
For Tommy's jeep i might try to,drop some more air lressure just to get a better ride
Love the KK. Great under-rated cheap Jeep! Make sure you do a drain and fill and filter on the trans, no one ever does that service, this vehicle is sensitive to that and coil packs and plugs for the best highway experience on your way to the trails.
The CJ is definitely the coolest Jeep of the 3.
LOVE these videos!
Great series!! But seriously you need to overhaul the CJ. Make it it’s own series!!
love these cheap Jeep vids! get another WJ ! 😝
That was stupid fun! Reminds me of my old '85 Ford Bronco II.
When Tommy said...this nerd took the jeep out of retirement...i just died laughing. Tommy, you are NOT a nerd...you have a sack of titanium.
New Respect for Nathan with the Aquabats shirt !
This was awesome. Great vid.
