Hi, Deho Jeebers, it's Tony right here,
0:03
looking at you from the screen.
0:05
We can see you.
0:06
Oh, I'm not supposed to share that.
0:08
Put that down.
0:09
That's not right.
0:10
Just leave it alone.
0:12
Pay attention to the show.
0:13
What's wrong with you?
0:14
So this is Tony.
0:15
Quit playing with that.
0:17
And this is Josh.
0:20
Somebody just did a
0:21
double take at the screen.
0:22
I know they did.
0:23
All right, so--
0:24
Wait a minute, who?
0:25
What?
0:25
They're watching me?
0:27
All right, so to start with,
0:28
we're gonna go back and I
0:30
started to say make a correction,
0:32
but as always, we're right, Josh.
0:35
But I think you called--
0:37
(beep)
0:38
But you were kind of
0:39
concerned about this information
0:40
when we talked about
0:42
tread depth on tires.
0:43
What kind of tread depth should you have?
0:45
Oh yeah.
0:46
I've had a couple of people,
0:48
maybe three
0:49
(beep)
0:50
about four or 30 seconds
0:51
being way too close to the bone.
0:54
That that's not enough tread.
0:58
So I went back and double checked it.
1:00
I mean, that was one of the things
1:01
you were questioning, wasn't it?
1:04
Yeah, I thought that
1:06
was a little bit too close
1:07
for comfort in my book.
1:08
And especially out here
1:09
in the Pacific Northwest
1:11
where we deal with so much
1:12
rain and wet roads so often,
1:15
it just seems like that
1:16
would open up the door
1:18
for a potential safety issue.
1:20
Now regionally, obviously,
1:22
if you live in a much drier climate,
1:25
maybe it's not as big of a concern,
1:26
but a wet weather traction,
1:29
I think is definitely forward of mind
1:31
out here in the Pacific Northwest.
1:34
That was something I was questioning
1:35
about those numbers.
1:37
So I think, actually,
1:39
before we started rolling,
1:40
I think I told you that the legal limit
1:42
was four 30 seconds.
1:44
I told you wrong.
1:45
You're gonna like this.
1:47
Legal absolute minimum is two 30 seconds.
1:53
Half of the floor.
1:55
Shut the front door.
1:56
No, no, no.
1:59
It says, is the legal minimum tread depth
2:02
for most US states, including Texas.
2:06
Below this tire is considered bald and
2:09
illegal for road use.
2:11
Many places use the penny test.
2:13
If Leakin's head is fully visible,
2:16
you're at or under two 30 seconds.
2:20
What do you think, Josh?
2:21
(laughing)
2:23
Man, I think I've got business cards
2:26
that are thicker than that.
2:28
I mean, come on.
2:31
All right, so anyway, Commis, Commi,
2:33
Commins, sorry, Oregon related there,
2:37
Commins safety recommendations,
2:40
four 30 seconds of an inch,
2:43
which is the most widely recommended
2:45
replacement threshold
2:46
for everyday driving,
2:48
especially in wet conditions.
2:50
At this depth, the water
2:52
evacuation drops significantly
2:55
and stopping distances increase.
2:57
A lot of tire shops and safety
2:59
organizations push this number.
3:02
Three 30 seconds is a middle ground.
3:05
Five 30 seconds to six
3:07
30 seconds inch or higher
3:09
is sometimes suggested for
3:10
trucks, SUVs, off-road use,
3:13
or areas with frequent rain, snow,
3:15
because heavier vehicles
3:16
and more aggressive driving
3:18
put higher demands on
3:20
the remaining tread.
3:21
Can you live with this,
3:22
or is this way too low a number for you?
3:24
I mean, that's still a
3:25
little too close for comfort.
3:27
I mean, two 30 seconds to me,
3:29
you've gotta be either
3:30
at or below the tread bar
3:32
at that point.
3:33
And I think there's just,
3:34
there's nothing left in the tire
3:36
to really give you any degree
3:39
of traction or stopping power.
3:41
I mean, at that point,
3:42
you're almost a slick,
3:44
your flotation on wet
3:46
ground is gonna be significant.
3:48
So yeah, that's, I mean,
3:50
hydroplaning is gonna become an issue.
3:52
Yeah, the water's not gonna evacuate
3:54
out of the treads as easily.
3:55
I mean, there's just not
3:56
gonna be as much tread contact.
3:58
The contact patch is
4:00
gonna look kind of weird.
4:01
It's just, I don't
4:02
know, man, it just, to me,
4:04
and go get me wrong.
4:05
Look, I've been in
4:06
positions where I've had,
4:07
I've had belts showing,
4:09
okay, and still rock those tires.
4:10
So it really comes down to,
4:14
look, we've all been there before,
4:15
and budget is going to
4:18
determine everything,
4:20
that and willpower.
4:21
You've got no money in the wallet
4:23
and you've got a lot of willpower.
4:25
Trust me, you've got plenty
4:26
of life left in those tires.
4:29
But no, honestly, when it comes down to,
4:32
I think it's gonna
4:33
say anything like that.
4:35
I think the technical
4:36
term for two 30 seconds
4:38
is a gnat eyelash.
4:39
I cleaned that up for the family.
4:41
Yeah, there you go.
4:44
(both laughing)
4:44
Yeah, so it's one of
4:46
those things where I think
4:48
that if you know your
4:50
abilities, you know your route,
4:52
you know your traffic,
4:54
you know your surroundings,
4:55
you know your vehicle
4:56
really, really, really well,
4:58
then yeah, you can
4:59
get down to these three,
5:01
four, even two 30
5:02
seconds tread depth range.
5:04
But I think for most
5:06
people, five or six is gonna be,
5:08
is gonna be where we call the ball
5:10
and where we start looking at, okay,
5:13
what are we gonna do to replace these?
5:14
How much is it gonna cost
5:15
and how soon are we gonna do it?
5:17
Yep, so Josh, switching gears here,
5:20
I know that you have an XJ,
5:22
it's not currently a
5:24
drivable, but you have an XJ,
5:26
so that pretty much means
5:28
that you've had it towed.
5:29
You can't have an XJ.
5:31
How dare you?
5:33
And it never had been towed.
5:35
So I had, I think the
5:36
first time I had mine towed
5:38
was a bad water pump, I mean really bad,
5:41
where it wobbled a
5:42
lot and there was no way
5:43
I was gonna drive it
5:44
20 miles home like that.
5:46
And another time is
5:47
whenever the wheel bearing assembly
5:49
went out and that now the
5:51
wobble was in the tire, the 33.
5:54
And that was also a tow home.
5:57
But I made sure that I had it flat towed.
6:00
I mean, you know, they
6:01
sent out the wrecker,
6:02
had a flat area so that the
6:05
whole Jeep was up in the air.
6:07
He wouldn't let me
6:08
get in it and sit in it
6:10
because I thought it'd be fun,
6:11
that lifted high in the air.
6:14
I thought that'd be, yeah.
6:16
Right, yeah.
6:18
So I saw a video on the TikiToki
6:21
and the guy was
6:22
posting a Jeep being towed
6:25
and the Jeep, it was a
6:27
Wrangler, I think it was a JK.
6:29
It was being towed, he
6:30
was following behind it.
6:32
And it was being towed, like he would tow
6:35
a traditional car
6:37
where you lift up the back
6:38
and it rolls on the
6:39
front wheels, front tires.
6:41
And he was saying that he
6:43
hoped the tow truck company
6:46
had enough money to
6:48
pay for all the damage
6:49
that was going to occur.
6:51
And I thought about that.
6:53
I think there was a couple
6:53
of people arguing with him
6:54
that it was perfectly fine.
6:56
And he was saying, no, it's not.
6:58
So I thought this is a
6:59
great subject for this episode.
7:02
So if you were going
7:04
to have your XJ towed,
7:05
which you've had it done in the past,
7:07
what is the minimum that
7:10
you would go with for a tow?
7:15
You mean as far as what I
7:17
would do to set the vehicle up
7:18
or how much I would pay or
7:20
what are we talking about?
7:22
Well, I requested a flat tow,
7:24
a wrecker that has the
7:28
flat platform in the back
7:29
and they bring the whole
7:30
thing up on the platform.
7:32
Have you ever done, I
7:33
mean, would you consider,
7:34
having to then just connect to the back
7:36
and lift up the back and then off you go
7:39
with the front wheels rolling?
7:42
So towing a Jeep, I always,
7:46
those two words right
7:47
there always flash a story
7:50
in the back of my mind
7:51
that we covered years ago.
7:53
And it was somebody who I
7:55
believe was towing their Jeep
7:57
with an RV or maybe it
7:59
was something they had
8:01
to have it towed for service
8:03
or something like that.
8:04
And they had left it in four wheel drive
8:08
and they had towed the vehicle.
8:10
And of course, at freeway speeds
8:13
to get it to the shop or whatever,
8:14
that four wheel drive system
8:17
was spinning at 30,000 RPM.
8:20
I mean, because ordinarily you don't go
8:21
over 25 miles per hour and four low,
8:24
but this got towed in four wheel drive.
8:29
And by the time it made
8:30
it to its destination,
8:32
there was more molten
8:33
metal under the Jeep
8:34
than there was a drive train.
8:36
Oh, that engine completely blew up.
8:39
It was a mess.
8:40
Yeah, yeah.
8:42
Cause the engine was spinning so fast
8:45
because of the drive train's
8:46
gear ratio was clocked down
8:48
because it was in four wheel drive
8:50
and four low range to the exact.
8:52
And so, I mean, obviously
8:53
there's gonna be a right way
8:54
and a wrong way and
8:55
there's gonna be a big argument
8:57
about how to do this
8:58
and how to set it up.
9:00
People go so far as to
9:01
start removing drive lines
9:02
and things like that.
9:04
And I believe that you
9:05
can get away from this
9:06
by setting both the transfer case
9:08
and the transmission into neutral.
9:10
And at that point,
9:12
essentially the axles are disconnected
9:17
from the rest of the
9:18
drive train, essentially.
9:20
There's not gonna be any
9:21
components in the transmission
9:22
or the transfer case at that point
9:24
that are gonna be spinning
9:26
that you're gonna have to worry about.
9:28
Now, yes, the drive
9:29
lines are still connected.
9:30
Yes, there's going to be some rotation
9:32
of something going on from that point.
9:35
But as far as the
9:36
internal gears being connected
9:38
to the rest of that,
9:39
the output side of it,
9:41
there's gonna be a disconnect there.
9:42
And I believe that you
9:43
can tow things safely,
9:44
flat towing it, two
9:47
wheel towing it, whatever,
9:49
with that in mind.
9:51
Now, outside of that, I'm not sure
9:55
if people have preferences,
9:57
how far they wanna go,
9:59
all that sort of stuff.
10:00
But yes, there is a
10:01
right way and a wrong way
10:02
to set up your Jeep for towing.
10:04
And you can go the nth
10:05
degree by removing drive lines
10:07
and all that sort of stuff.
10:08
But I don't think that it's necessary
10:11
so long as you put both the transfer case
10:13
and the transmission in neutral.
10:15
Yeah, I was actually on my research,
10:17
which I have an advantage for you guys
10:19
that are listening to this episode.
10:21
Josh is actually driving.
10:22
He's at work and he has
10:24
to go and do something.
10:26
So while he's driving, he joins in
10:28
and we record an episode.
10:30
So if you hear funny things,
10:32
that audio doesn't sound
10:33
as good as it always does
10:35
from Josh, that's why.
10:36
We're making do so we can
10:39
get Josh here on the show.
10:41
And I think it's worth
10:42
it, but just so you know.
10:43
The other advantage I have
10:45
over Josh is I can do research.
10:48
And I just say, hey, let's record.
10:50
So Josh doesn't get the latest
10:52
information in front of him.
10:54
He's just going by his knowledge.
10:56
So as I was--
10:58
I'm not in the studio,
10:59
so I can't look things up either.
11:00
Yeah, you just have to
11:01
trust me, which I love.
11:03
So I was actually
11:04
looking up the various Jeeps
11:07
and when I got done with each Jeep,
11:10
it was basically the same for each one,
11:13
whether it's a Wrangler or a Gladiator,
11:16
which is basically just
11:17
a Gladiator with a bed.
11:19
So my research says
11:22
best and safest method
11:25
for any Jeep YJ, TJ, JK, JL, or JT
11:33
is to get all four tires,
11:36
all four wheels off the road.
11:39
So it goes back to that flat tow,
11:40
or you could do a lift it up in the back
11:44
like the tow truck drivers often do,
11:47
but put a dolly on the front.
11:49
So again, getting all
11:50
four tires off the road.
11:53
Now, if you can't do
11:55
that or they're persnickety,
11:59
they don't want to
12:00
get a flat bed out there
12:01
because those things cost more.
12:03
I mean, they do.
12:04
And it probably is going
12:06
to cut into their profit,
12:07
them having a flat bed come out there,
12:09
especially if they're already there
12:11
with a traditional tow truck.
12:14
I don't care.
12:15
They're giving me a
12:16
flat bed or they can get
12:18
(beep)
12:19
I'll find somebody else to do it
12:21
because my Jeep's important to me.
12:22
And if they don't know how to tow a Jeep,
12:25
they shouldn't be doing it to start with.
12:26
I shouldn't be using them anyway.
12:28
All right, so what I found
12:32
was that the transmission,
12:35
or I'm sorry, the transfer
12:37
case should be in neutral.
12:39
Now, if you don't
12:40
have a four wheel drive,
12:42
which I think some of the
12:43
JKs were two wheel drive,
12:45
obviously you're going to
12:46
skip the transfer case part.
12:49
So don't be looking or installing one
12:52
just so you can tow it.
12:53
Although I think it needs
12:54
to be a four wheel drive.
12:55
So anyway, the transfer
12:56
case needs to be in neutral.
13:00
The transmission should
13:02
be in park if it's an auto
13:05
or in gear if it's a manual.
13:08
Yeah, this is a touchy point.
13:10
You hear it back and forth.
13:11
Neutral or park.
13:13
(indistinct)
13:17
Yeah, I don't see putting the
13:19
transmission in park
13:20
means that there's a pin in there,
13:24
there's some sort of a catch
13:25
that is going to
13:26
prevent things from spinning.
13:28
Whereas if it was in neutral, there's a
13:30
complete disconnect.
13:32
And to me, it just seems
13:34
like I would want things
13:35
disconnected versus
13:36
attached or stopping from spinning.
13:39
Because if something were to happen,
13:42
whatever, the gear shift slides into park
13:47
or slides into gear, your
13:49
stick shift bumps into gear.
13:51
Whatever, I don't know.
13:52
It's a shot in a thousand
13:54
that anything could happen.
13:55
But it just seems like a
13:56
moving vehicle put in park
13:58
is not a good idea.
14:00
Scary. Regardless of how you set up
14:02
the rest of the drive train, yeah.
14:04
So let me throw this at you
14:05
and see if it makes sense.
14:07
You put it in park because if it's,
14:11
well, if it's in neutral,
14:12
you shouldn't have a problem.
14:13
But if it was in gear, it
14:14
would spin the transmission.
14:17
And that means the
14:19
fluid and all that stuff
14:20
may not work like it's
14:21
supposed to if you're towing it.
14:23
So putting it in park
14:25
keeps the transmission
14:27
from spinning around.
14:28
It is not going to
14:29
allow those gears and plates
14:31
and all that stuff to move.
14:36
But in neutral, they
14:37
would, is what I'm hearing.
14:39
Well, I think neutral or
14:41
park would probably be okay.
14:43
But park is what my research showed.
14:46
Okay, so this is the
14:48
one that kind of bugs me.
14:50
But I mean, with the new Jeep,
14:52
you don't have a key
14:53
that's in the starter
14:55
or in the key thingy.
14:58
But you should have
14:59
your steering unlocked
15:01
so that the front wheels
15:02
can track with the turns
15:05
and stuff that the tow truck might make.
15:09
This one makes sense.
15:10
It's kind of a duh, but it's definitely
15:12
one you should check.
15:13
Parking brake off.
15:17
Yeah, come on.
15:21
Unlock lockers if you
15:23
have lockers on your Jeep,
15:25
which again, makes sense.
15:28
You know, unless it was an ox,
15:30
if it was an ox locker or,
15:33
but I mean, if you got the key on
15:34
and they're electric
15:35
lockers, I guess they could be on.
15:40
True.
15:41
I mean, definitely some common sense
15:43
things here that yeah.
15:44
It's like, when you're going to like,
15:46
push start the vehicle
15:47
or something like that
15:48
and your friend is in
15:51
the seat and it's like,
15:52
is your foot on the brake?
15:53
Oh, you wanted me to
15:54
have the foot off the brake?
15:56
No, let's be honest.
15:57
Is it your girlfriend or
15:58
your wife that does that?
16:00
Yeah, I was trying to
16:02
get some credit, but yeah.
16:05
I didn't know this thing was that heavy.
16:07
Oh, should I have my foot off the brake?
16:10
Yes.
16:14
Take me to the hospital.
16:15
So many times.
16:15
Get this hernia fixed.
16:16
Yeah, so yeah.
16:18
Yeah, exactly.
16:19
Parking brake off and then
16:20
unlock lockers if equipped.
16:21
All right, so it's
16:23
basically the same for the JK,
16:25
the JL, JT, all of these.
16:28
And now that you were talking about
16:31
removing the drive shafts,
16:33
they talk about if you're
16:35
going to be towing it very far,
16:38
like more than, I don't
16:40
know, let's say 10 miles,
16:42
that removing the drive shafts is
16:44
probably a pretty good
16:44
idea and something I
16:47
found after getting the Atlas
16:49
for the Cherokee,
16:52
because I was looking at using
16:53
the Gladiator to tow the
16:54
Cherokee, because to me,
16:56
the Cherokee was going to
16:57
be the off-road vehicle.
16:59
I found out that you
17:00
shouldn't tow with an Atlas,
17:04
which is a huge hunk of beautiful metal.
17:07
You shouldn't flat tow
17:09
an Atlas more than about
17:12
like a hundred miles or 70 miles or
17:14
something like that,
17:15
because it can damage it.
17:17
So if I wanted to take my XJ
17:20
off-road and use the Gladiator
17:21
to flat tow it, I would
17:23
have to remove the drive shafts
17:25
and the yokes on the
17:27
two axles and tie them up
17:29
or something to make
17:30
sure that my beautiful Atlas
17:32
didn't get fried.
17:35
Interesting, interesting.
17:37
I've never heard that
17:37
about the Atlas before,
17:39
but I mean, with a lot of
17:41
it being aluminum and stuff,
17:43
I could sort of kind of see that.
17:44
I could understand to a
17:45
certain extent that yeah,
17:47
things could potentially
17:48
get a little hot in there
17:49
if there's some stuff
17:50
spinning that you don't want,
17:52
especially for a long period of time.
17:54
So yeah, flat towing your Jeep
17:57
or towing it across country,
18:00
taking the Jeep to Moab
18:01
or down to the Rubicon
18:03
or something like that.
18:04
Yeah, might be best to rent a
18:07
trailer or rent some dollies
18:08
or something along those lines.
18:10
Now I have seen some
18:12
hybrid towing options
18:13
to where you've got the car carrier.
18:17
It's like two wheels and a
18:18
couple of ramps basically.
18:20
And you can sort of
18:21
drive the vehicle up on that.
18:22
Two wheels are still on the pavement
18:24
and two wheels are up
18:25
on the towing apparatus.
18:27
At that point, you would only have to
18:29
remove one drive line
18:30
and you don't have a huge
18:31
trailer that you've got to store
18:33
and all that other stuff.
18:34
But yeah, it's I guess,
18:36
100 ways to skin a cat.
18:39
Yeah, I would absolutely
18:40
love to have just a flat trailer
18:43
with the braking
18:44
system and everything on it
18:46
so that you could brake properly.
18:47
Yeah, that's the way to go.
18:48
But do you know a modified XJ
18:50
with all the crap that I've got on it?
18:52
It probably would exceed the
18:54
7,600 pound towing capacity
18:57
if I added a trailer, you don't think so?
19:00
Oh, well, it really
19:02
would depend on the trailer.
19:04
There are some tandem axle
19:05
trailers that have tilt decks
19:07
and things like that that
19:10
can start to get pretty heavy.
19:14
But they make versions of those
19:15
that have like aluminum decks
19:18
they have like the expanded
19:20
metal grading on the decks
19:22
instead of a bunch of wood,
19:24
a bunch of tongue and groove,
19:26
car decking, that sort of stuff
19:28
and significantly
19:29
reducing the weight on those.
19:31
Obviously the lighter
19:32
of a trailer that you get
19:34
that is intended to carry a vehicle,
19:36
the more expensive that
19:37
trailer is going to get.
19:38
You're gonna come out of pocket
19:39
a lot more on the initial cost
19:41
but you could save a
19:43
little bit on the fuel
19:44
because you don't have an
19:45
extra thousand pounds back there
19:47
that you're lugging around either.
19:48
So it's one of those things to where,
19:52
it all comes down to what you can afford
19:54
and what you have available.
19:56
But I don't think that the Gladiator
20:01
would have a hard
20:02
time towing the Cherokee
20:03
even on a flatbed trailer.
20:05
Now you get into some
20:06
mountain passes and stuff like that.
20:07
Well, you may have to
20:09
downshift a little bit.
20:10
You wanna make sure you've got a
20:11
transmission cooler,
20:13
things like that.
20:14
You've got the max tow package.
20:15
So not as much of a concern there,
20:18
but for other people, yeah, it might be.
20:20
Then you gotta worry
20:21
about how much extra gear
20:22
you've got on the trailer and how much
20:23
you're towing as well.
20:24
You've got three friends in the cab
20:26
and all of their gear
20:26
in the bed of the truck,
20:28
plus recovery gear and chains and parts
20:30
and the things like that.
20:31
Well, obviously that trip can
20:32
get quite heavy quite quick.
20:34
And so yeah, you wanna
20:35
make sure that you're well
20:36
within your hauling
20:38
and towing capacities.
20:40
Yeah, I think it'd be a lot of fun.
20:42
The Jeep talk show off-road event before,
20:46
and you flew down for, I
20:47
think it was the first one.
20:49
It'd been really cool if I
20:50
could have shown up there
20:51
with a Gladiator and
20:51
the XJ, and I take off
20:54
because you've already
20:55
damaged the Gladiator.
20:56
You did your one time.
20:58
How dare you?
21:00
When you broke the steering stabilizer.
21:03
Those scratches on the undercarriage
21:05
were already there, I swear.
21:08
So you'd have to take the XJ,
21:10
but I think it'd be a lot of fun
21:11
with doing the Atlas
21:13
and all the rest of this.
21:14
Just having two
21:15
sticks that you can fondle
21:16
while you're driving the
21:17
XJ is more than worth it.
21:19
All right, Josh, I got
21:20
a little bragging to do.
21:21
I've been sharing some of it with you.
21:24
I know you're really busy over there
21:25
working multiple jobs and stuff,
21:26
and I don't mean to
21:28
put you out on sending
21:30
these fun things that I'm
21:31
doing for the Jeep talk show,
21:33
but I shared with you the show timer.
21:37
We used a show timer for years.
21:40
You had a copy of it running on your PC,
21:43
but you'd have to press the start button.
21:45
About the same time I
21:46
pressed start button on mine,
21:47
I wanted to have it networked,
21:49
so I'd start the
21:50
thing and all the co-hosts
21:52
could see the same thing.
21:53
I have that now.
21:54
Yeah, that's cool.
21:56
So it's really cool.
21:58
It works across the internet,
21:59
and not only can the
22:00
co-host see the show timer,
22:03
but guests, like if
22:04
we're doing interviews,
22:05
I don't imagine anybody would do that,
22:06
but somebody might be interested in it.
22:09
If you're doing an interview,
22:11
or if you're co-hosting
22:12
with the Jeep talk show,
22:13
you will be able to see this timer.
22:16
And the cool thing is,
22:17
you can send messages back and forth.
22:18
Remember how I was talking about it?
22:19
It'd be nice that we had a channel that
22:22
we could communicate
22:22
on, like, let's take a break.
22:24
I got to the bathroom,
22:26
my eyeballs are floating,
22:27
whatever it is that you say.
22:28
Anyway, that's not so much
22:29
for the Jeep talk show system.
22:31
Yeah, behind the scenes, off the mic.
22:32
Yeah.
22:33
So that's not so much for
22:34
the end user, but it's fun.
22:38
Well, it is fun, especially
22:40
because now it looks way modern
22:42
and way less Windows 98.
22:44
Yeah, yeah.
22:46
It's web-based, which is kind of cool.
22:48
Yeah, the previous
22:50
version was wholly functional,
22:53
very usable, very utilitarian,
22:56
but it was so very basic in its layout,
23:00
which is fine because all
23:01
it was is just a stopwatch,
23:03
it's just a timer.
23:04
But this one looks a lot more modern,
23:06
and I don't know, eye
23:08
pleasing, if you will.
23:09
Yeah, yeah.
23:10
And that's nice, that's nice
23:11
when you can do stuff like that.
23:13
All right, so let me see,
23:14
which one do I wanna go over?
23:16
We have, oh, I like
23:17
this one, Jeep of the Week.
23:20
I think that we had
23:21
talked about this years ago.
23:23
I know that the Jeep talk
23:24
show team was suggesting it.
23:26
It's kind of a thing that's
23:27
been done a lot everywhere.
23:30
We've never done it
23:31
because I didn't have a way,
23:32
a ready-made way just to load it up
23:34
to the jeeptalkshow.com website.
23:36
Well, now we have one.
23:38
So you can submit your Jeep,
23:39
submit some details about it.
23:42
And if it's picked for Jeep of the Week,
23:46
you will see it on our Discord server.
23:49
You will see it on Facebook
23:52
with all that cool information,
23:54
and it will encourage other people
23:56
to come submit their Jeep
23:58
and maybe become Jeep of the Week.
23:59
We have no prizes or anything yet,
24:02
but you never know what might happen.
24:04
So I don't remember if you're subscribed
24:06
to the newsletter or not, Josh,
24:08
but it will also appear in
24:10
the Jeep talk show newsletter.
24:11
So if you guys--
24:13
Yeah, it's really, really
24:15
cool exposure for our listeners.
24:17
Gives them an avenue of
24:19
involvement and stuff like that.
24:21
But it harks back to
24:22
like the magazine days,
24:24
JP Magazine and Peterson
24:26
magazine, stuff like that,
24:28
where you had like the
24:30
reader's ride type of thing.
24:33
And you got to see a regular Joe Blow,
24:36
just like yourself, and his
24:38
Jeep and how he had built it.
24:39
Now, this is obviously way before forums
24:42
and social media and stuff like that,
24:45
to where all that stuff was accessible
24:46
at a click of a mouse.
24:48
And that's kind of
24:49
why we've seen magazines
24:50
sort of go the way of the VHS.
24:53
They're just not around as much anymore.
24:56
Their subscribership is way down.
24:58
And if anything, they're web-based
25:00
if they're around at all anymore.
25:02
And so this definitely
25:03
brings me back to those days,
25:05
has that nostalgic sort of feel,
25:07
but it also helps
25:09
combine our listener base
25:11
with the rest of the people out there.
25:14
And of course, with the rest of the hosts
25:15
and the people behind the
25:16
scenes at the Jeep talk show.
25:18
I think this is
25:18
something that we've needed
25:19
for a long time.
25:20
It just, we needed to have more than
25:22
three or four listeners
25:23
to actually make this work.
25:24
So it's one of these things
25:27
where it was only a matter of time.
25:28
And now that we've got a
25:29
few more listeners on board,
25:32
we've got a bigger listener base,
25:33
a lot more jeeps, a bigger jeep,
25:36
a pool of jeeps to pull from now.
25:38
So yeah, who knows?
25:40
You might see your jeep
25:41
on the Jeep of the week
25:43
here on the Jeep talk show coming up.
25:44
You just got to submit.
25:46
And Tony, where would
25:47
they go to submit their ride
25:48
for submission?
25:50
Just go to jeeptalkshow.com.
25:52
It's right there on the top menu.
25:54
I forget exactly what
25:55
it's called right now,
25:56
but you look and you'll see a
25:58
CG person along those lines.
26:00
And that's going to be
26:01
true for many of these things
26:02
that I'm about to tell you.
26:03
So anyway, we've got Jeep of the week,
26:05
and you probably will hear us talk about
26:07
the Jeep of the week
26:08
here on our flagship episode
26:11
as we get those.
26:12
We have one right now,
26:13
but we're not going to
26:15
talk about it in this episode,
26:16
but next episode, if your
26:18
Jeep is Jeep of the week,
26:19
we'll tell you.
26:21
And that kind of ties
26:22
in to the other thing
26:23
that we talked to people about,
26:24
and that's our video voicemail.
26:27
So how cool would it be
26:29
for you to have Jeep of the week
26:30
that's going to be
26:31
featured on the flagship here?
26:34
And you call in a video
26:36
voicemail talking about your Jeep.
26:40
So not only did we show
26:41
the picture of your Jeep
26:43
and talk about it, but
26:43
you could talk about it.
26:46
I mean, this show
26:48
doesn't have to be about us.
26:51
Oh no, it's definitely, like I said,
26:53
we're getting the
26:53
listeners a lot more involved
26:55
in the aspect of the show,
26:56
sort of almost turning
26:57
the production of the show
26:59
over to them in the sense
27:01
of how much we're including,
27:04
not just information from
27:05
the Jeep universe out there,
27:07
but actual listener
27:09
rides and how they built it,
27:11
some of the challenges
27:12
that they had to overcome
27:13
and stuff like that.
27:14
Obviously you can
27:15
show a picture of a Jeep,
27:16
list the specs, that sort of stuff.
27:19
And that's all stuff that we're used to,
27:22
but to actually have the
27:23
person in their own words,
27:25
about their build, some of
27:26
the things that they did,
27:28
some of the choices
27:28
that they made and why,
27:30
some of the challenges that they had to
27:31
overcome and whatnot,
27:32
really brings that
27:33
personal aspect of any Jeep build
27:36
to the rest of the community.
27:38
And to be able to share
27:39
that with everybody else,
27:40
not only gives people, I
27:41
think, a point of pride,
27:43
but it also really gives
27:44
us a little bit of diversity
27:46
in our content as well,
27:47
and showing people out there just what
27:50
you can do with Jeeps
27:51
and some of the things that
27:52
you may not have thought of
27:54
when it comes to gear
27:54
selection, product selection,
27:57
or how you're gonna build it.
27:59
Yeah, well, you used to, you could do
28:00
this on Jeep forums,
28:02
but the Jeep forums,
28:03
this really aren't very popular anymore.
28:06
So, and then you have to
28:07
keep asking the same question
28:09
over and over again on social media
28:11
because there's no database.
28:12
So this kind of is a way of
28:14
doing the Jeep forums again.
28:16
And I think it's just
28:16
entertaining and fun.
28:18
All right, so the next thing,
28:19
Josh, do you remember
28:20
you bought and what?
28:24
Oh, yeah, no, that was a great segment
28:26
we had on the show for years.
28:28
That was a lot of fun.
28:29
Our listeners really
28:31
got involved with that one
28:32
because it was through
28:34
our affiliate program.
28:35
For those who don't know,
28:36
we had an affiliate
28:37
program with Amazon set up
28:39
before they became very strict
28:44
about their policies
28:46
and stuff and whatnot.
28:48
We had to change things up quite a bit,
28:49
but nonetheless, it was through a link
28:53
and we'd post up that link.
28:55
Our listeners would use
28:56
that link to buy things
28:58
and we would talk about
28:59
those things on the show.
29:00
And it was all more or
29:02
less a big comedic type of,
29:04
it was all for fun and games.
29:06
Oh, and some of the
29:07
stuff people were buying
29:08
was hilarious. The listeners.
29:10
Well, that's just it.
29:11
We would encourage the
29:12
listeners to throw us a curve ball.
29:14
It wasn't just a Jeep
29:15
parts and accessories
29:18
and things like that.
29:19
It was just a lot of the
29:19
typical stuff that you would find
29:20
showing up on a
29:21
doorstep on an Amazon box.
29:24
I mean, there was some things in there
29:25
that got really weird.
29:27
I mean, bacon salt
29:28
and personal lubricants
29:31
and all sorts of--
29:32
Oh, crotchless panties.
29:34
Yeah, crotchless panties.
29:35
I think that was what
29:36
the bacon salt was for.
29:38
There was a Bane mask in there.
29:41
You know, it was just,
29:42
and some of the things
29:43
were combined in one order.
29:45
Oh no, totally anonymous.
29:47
We had no idea who was ordering what,
29:50
but it was fun to see
29:51
the fact that our listeners
29:53
were buying these things.
29:55
And a lot of it was just
29:57
to screw with us, of course,
29:59
but that's what made it so much fun.
30:01
And so yeah, that was a great segment we
30:05
had back in the day.
30:06
You know, I'm reliving that.
30:07
We may need to bring that back.
30:09
But the thing that I've added to the site
30:11
is an Amazon link.
30:14
So basically you go to
30:16
the site, gptokshow.com,
30:18
up towards the top on the menu,
30:19
or the menu wherever it is, mobile,
30:21
it's in a different place.
30:22
And you just click on Amazon
30:24
and you can see what
30:26
products we talked about
30:28
on each episode.
30:29
So if you're trying
30:32
to write something down
30:33
or you're going back and
30:34
listening or rewatching,
30:35
you don't have to do that.
30:36
All you have to do is know the show title
30:39
and then go over there and look
30:40
and it's gonna show
30:41
you the image of the item
30:44
and a button that says go to Amazon.
30:46
And that uses our affiliate link.
30:48
So we're still doing
30:50
kind of the same thing
30:51
with the affiliate link through Amazon.
30:52
So we get a little something.
30:55
Every time you order, it
30:56
doesn't cost you anything more.
30:57
I remember us talking,
30:58
saying exactly those words before.
31:00
But you know, Josh, I'm
31:02
gonna think about that.
31:02
We should bring back the,
31:04
but you bought and what?
31:05
I mean, I still got the audio.
31:07
Yeah, that might be fun.
31:09
I'm gonna have to get in the studio
31:11
for that segment though, for sure.
31:12
That's just without
31:14
question, it'd be a lot more fun
31:15
with me having the
31:16
multiple screens up in front of me
31:17
and the home court
31:19
advantage and all that.
31:19
Well, we just need to
31:20
get the little money here
31:21
for the show and get
31:22
some multiple screens set up
31:23
in your truck there.
31:25
I can't, that's what I need.
31:28
There's more distraction
31:29
in the company vehicle.
31:30
It's 2025, you know, fully wrapped rig.
31:33
You know, nothing like
31:34
having a bunch of distraction
31:36
on the dash when you're towing a trailer
31:37
with 14,000 pounds behind you.
31:40
(laughing)
31:41
Then Jackie Gleason
31:42
would pull you over and go,
31:43
what the
31:43
(beep)
31:44
is this piece of
31:44
(beep)
31:45
doing on my highway?
31:48
All right, so that's a couple of things.
31:50
Another thing, I'll say we
31:51
got the Jeep of the week.
31:53
We've got Amazons, and you
31:54
can actually go over there
31:55
and see what we've
31:56
talked about on the show.
31:58
And I guess this episode
31:59
will have the Bain Mask on it
32:01
if they're still selling it, but.
32:03
Oh boy.
32:05
(laughing)
32:06
Let's see, what else do we have on there?
32:07
Oh, this is brand new.
32:09
I was just working on
32:10
this before we recorded.
32:12
I don't know if it's a good idea.
32:13
I think it's funny, so I created it.
32:16
You know, we did that
32:17
episode about the 250th celebration
32:21
for the United States,
32:22
and they made a honor badge,
32:23
a Jeep honor badge about it,
32:25
and how we were calling
32:26
it on the honor badges.
32:27
It's, you know, an honor badge could be
32:29
anything these days.
32:30
It doesn't have to be for a
32:31
trail or anything like that.
32:32
Well, now you can go
32:33
to the Jeep talk show.
32:34
It's not live exactly yet.
32:36
Probably by the time you
32:37
listen to this, it will be.
32:38
I've tested it.
32:38
It sent you a picture
32:40
on your phone, Josh.
32:41
I don't know if you saw
32:41
it, but that honor badge.
32:44
I did see it, but I wasn't
32:45
sure what I was looking at.
32:46
Yeah, you did know the explanation line.
32:47
Yeah, you looked
32:48
kinda like an honor badge.
32:49
So that was generated.
32:51
What do we got?
32:51
That was generated from
32:53
the Jeep talk show site.
32:54
So you can literally go to the
32:56
jeeptalkshow.com website
32:58
and create your own honor badge.
33:02
What could possibly go wrong?
33:05
Well, I don't call it Jeep honor badge.
33:07
I call it JTS honor badger.
33:12
So I think that's gonna
33:13
take us out just a little bit.
33:14
So you can actually draw the trail
33:16
that you wanna draw on there.
33:18
And it's really cool.
33:20
I mean, it looks just
33:21
like a Jeep honor badge.
33:23
I can't wait.
33:24
I'm gonna make one when I get home.
33:28
And it's gonna be based on
33:30
one of our newer segments
33:31
that people seem to like.
33:33
The trail is gonna look like this.
33:35
It's gonna look like a middle finger
33:37
and guess what it's gonna say?
33:38
It's gonna say, "F***
33:39
you, you f***ing b****."
33:41
That's a great honor badge.
33:43
Oh, and you can choose
33:45
to put it in the gallery.
33:47
So once you've created it,
33:49
you can put it on the
33:50
wall or whatever it's called.
33:51
So whenever people go to that page,
33:53
they can see all the past
33:55
honor badges that were created.
33:57
And then you can copy it and share it.
33:59
Outstanding.
34:00
Yeah, I'm just having a lot of fun
34:01
creating this stuff.
34:03
So I think that one's
34:04
gonna be really funny.
34:05
And I don't think we'll
34:07
get a cease and desist,
34:08
but we may, which would also be funny.
34:12
Well, honestly, that
34:14
would be kind of a cool thing,
34:16
but think about how
34:16
much fun we're gonna have
34:17
in the meantime until the
34:18
cease and desist gets posted.
34:20
So, once it's out
34:23
there, it's out there, man.
34:24
Yeah, it's kind of like the officer,
34:26
I swear to God, she showed me she was 18.
34:29
But there was lots of fun in between.
34:32
Pun not intended.
34:33
So let's see, I'm trying
34:35
to think of something else.
34:35
I have created a bunch
34:37
of stuff on the website.
34:39
Oh, of course.
34:40
Now, I know that there's so
34:42
many places that you can chat.
34:45
So there's a lot of chat stuff online,
34:47
but a lot of those things are blocked
34:49
while you're at work
34:51
because like Discord, so on and so forth.
34:54
So I created a Jeep Talk Show chat.
34:58
So you can literally go
34:59
to the Jeep Talk Show,
35:01
chat right there, even has a pop out
35:03
that'll fit on your phone screen.
35:06
So you can literally
35:07
chat with other people
35:09
from the Jeep Talk Show.
35:11
And it's really, really slick.
35:15
That's cool.
35:16
I remember a feature like
35:17
that back when we first started
35:19
based on the XJ Talk website.
35:21
I think there was a chat
35:23
room back on that website
35:26
that was very, very
35:27
active back in the day.
35:29
But yeah, no, that's cool, Tony.
35:31
That's gonna bring a
35:33
lot of people together.
35:34
I think that's gonna be a lot of fun.
35:35
Yeah, well, I mean, you
35:36
can chat a bunch of places,
35:37
but this would be a great place to chat
35:39
and especially get around
35:41
any blocks that are going on
35:43
by the corporation you work at.
35:45
I'm not telling you to
35:46
get fired or anything,
35:47
but I did include a boss key.
35:50
So you can press the key that you set up
35:54
and it will minimize the chat.
35:57
Yeah, so, but yeah, I think
35:59
it's gonna be really cool.
36:00
Nobody may use it,
36:01
but it's gonna be there.
36:02
It's gonna be a lot of fun.
36:03
It is not implemented yet,
36:05
but I'm going to put a gateway
36:08
on it for our Discord server.
36:10
I'm gonna put a gateway on it for Zoom,
36:13
the round table meeting,
36:15
so that whenever people chat
36:17
on the round table meeting,
36:19
it'll actually show up in this chat.
36:21
You'll be able to see it.
36:22
I'm not sure about
36:24
sitting back and forth,
36:26
but basically the
36:27
idea is you go one place
36:29
and then all the places
36:30
that the Jeep Talk Show people
36:31
will chat at, you can
36:32
go to this one place.
36:33
You can go to Discord, you
36:34
can go do the chat in Zoom.
36:36
That's fine, but this might
36:38
be a more convenient place
36:39
for you to go.
36:42
Alrighty, so any
36:44
questions about any of that?
36:44
Josh, did I explain it
36:46
good enough for you to know?
36:49
No, it's all stuff that
36:52
I'm looking forward to
36:53
and anybody who's been a fan of the show
36:55
for any length of time,
36:55
I'm sure that you're looking forward
36:57
to some of these
36:58
features becoming live as well.
37:00
It sounds like there's
37:01
gonna be a lot of fun to be had,
37:02
a lot of creativity to be shared.
37:05
So this is gonna be exciting.
37:07
So it's just another development
37:08
in the growth of the Jeep Talk Show.
37:11
Yeah, thanks.
37:12
So I mentioned the listener Jeeps.
37:16
That's what it's called,
37:17
listener Jeeps on the website
37:18
where you want to put in your Jeep
37:21
to be seen by other people.
37:23
The other thing that
37:25
I've talked about before,
37:26
I believe is the best of.
37:28
So maybe I didn't talk
37:29
about this last week,
37:30
but the best of takes the
37:32
top 50 Jeep Talk Show episodes.
37:36
These are all audio only.
37:38
The top 50 and it's based
37:40
on the number of downloads
37:41
for each.
37:42
So if you're new to the Jeep Talk Show
37:44
or you've been listening recently
37:46
and you've wanted to
37:47
go into the deep water
37:49
and listen to the past episodes,
37:50
but you're not sure
37:51
which ones to listen to,
37:53
this helps you actually find the ones
37:56
that a lot of people have enjoyed.
37:58
So you can go to the best of
38:01
and not only will it
38:03
play from our website,
38:05
at least on the Android,
38:06
you can turn the screen off
38:08
and it continues to play.
38:09
Still waiting on somebody with an iPhone
38:11
to let me know if it works on iPhones.
38:14
And it remembers the
38:16
episodes that you've listened to.
38:19
So you don't have to--
38:20
Oh, really cool.
38:21
Yeah, you didn't have to keep
38:22
anything up with you to see,
38:24
oh, did I listen to that one?
38:25
Or I have to listen to 10 minutes of it
38:28
before you realize you already heard it.
38:30
Cause that can be very frustrating.
38:32
And you can actually review each episode
38:37
by picking the number of stars.
38:39
Just click on star one through five.
38:42
And, but wait, there's more.
38:45
You can actually--
38:46
Wait, there's more.
38:48
You can actually type in
38:49
the text, a text review.
38:51
And then everybody else
38:52
that goes to that site
38:54
will see this number of stars
38:55
and they can read the text,
38:57
the typing reviews in there.
38:59
So I've been having too much fun, Josh.
39:02
This stuff is real easy to do.
39:04
And all I have to do
39:05
is use my imagination.
39:08
Yeah, a lot of creativity coming out
39:10
in the Jeep talk show lately.
39:12
It seems like we're
39:13
really hitting our stride
39:15
as far as new developments.
39:16
And obviously, you know,
39:18
getting me back in on things and whatnot,
39:20
it just seems like
39:21
there are a lot of growth
39:22
happening here recently.
39:23
And it means a lot of cool things
39:26
are gonna be on the horizon.
39:27
So make sure all of you out there
39:29
are subscribed to the show.
39:31
Make sure that you
39:31
are telling your friends
39:32
to get subscribed.
39:33
They don't miss a thing
39:35
because there's a lot of
39:35
developments that are coming up.
39:36
Obviously, Tony's working on
39:38
some stuff behind the scenes,
39:39
a lot of stuff about
39:40
ready to go live as well.
39:42
So make sure that you
39:43
guys have your thumb
39:44
on the pulse of the Jeep talk show.
39:46
Make sure you're subscribed
39:47
and make sure that
39:48
you're telling your friends
39:49
about it all.
39:50
And yeah, head over to the best of
39:52
and see what we got over there.
39:53
Maybe your favorite
39:54
episode is on there, maybe not.
39:56
So that gives you an opportunity
39:57
to find out what you may have missed.
40:00
I bet you're on every one of
40:01
those best of episodes, Josh,
40:03
because I don't think any of them
40:05
were at the very beginning.
40:06
You've had some winners.
40:08
You've had some winners up there.
40:10
I mean, since I've been gone,
40:11
there's been some
40:11
great interviews and stuff.
40:13
So it'll be interesting to see.
40:15
No.
40:16
They're not on there.
40:17
No, I was really surprised.
40:21
I think it's got a lot more difficult.
40:23
There's a lot of entertainment out there,
40:25
a lot of podcasts.
40:26
And I think most of these, the top 50,
40:29
are from five, six years ago.
40:32
Like I said, it's a great
40:33
way to go into the Deepwater
40:34
and look at the way
40:36
we used to do the show.
40:38
They're significantly different.
40:39
I'm sure you remember,
40:40
but it's been so long.
40:42
I mean, I really liked
40:43
the ones where we started
40:44
and had the Morse code or the,
40:46
did it in the typing,
40:48
and you would do the radio voice.
40:50
Oh yeah.
40:50
And there's weak on the Jeep.
40:53
This week, this week in Jeep.
40:56
Yeah.
40:58
Oh yeah, I always have
41:00
some sort of crazy headline
41:02
that would go with it.
41:04
And they were all
41:04
different and everything.
41:05
Yeah, that's right.
41:06
Oh, we had intro and outro
41:09
production for every segment.
41:11
And yeah, no, the
41:12
show has definitely done
41:13
a lot differently back in the day.
41:15
A lot more production value
41:17
and stuff went into the show.
41:18
A lot of sound effects
41:20
and things like that.
41:21
And so we had a lot of fun with it.
41:22
So yeah, definitely go back and listen
41:24
to some of those best of episodes.
41:26
Gonna sound a little bit different
41:27
than what you're used to
41:28
if you're a new listener
41:30
to the show.
41:31
So you can kind of see how we've evolved
41:34
and how the show has
41:34
changed over the years.
41:36
And who knows?
41:37
I mean, maybe you have a comment
41:38
about how we used to do
41:39
things versus how we do things now.
41:41
And we'd love to hear that.
41:42
So anytime you have a
41:44
little bit of criticism for us,
41:46
constructive or otherwise,
41:47
we'd love to hear it from you guys.
41:49
And you can do that any number of ways.
41:51
Reaching out to the show,
41:52
we've made it very easy for you.
41:54
Head over to
41:54
JeepTalkShow.com slash contact
41:57
and find out all the different ways
41:58
that you can reach out and
42:00
interact with Tony, myself,
42:01
and the show in general.
42:03
So I'm gonna repeat some of that, Josh.
42:05
Are you ready to join
42:07
the Jeep Talk Show crew?

(beep)
42:19
I forgot another one that I did
42:20
that I got to stop
42:22
and tell you guys about.
42:23
Discounts.
42:25
So we've had Patreon
42:26
discounts for a while.
42:28
So whenever you go-
42:29
That's a big one.
42:30
Yeah, whenever you go to a Patreon
42:33
and become a member,
42:34
you would have access
42:35
to all the discounts.
42:36
Well, I thought that's not good enough.
42:38
We need to say thank
42:40
you to our Discord people,
42:41
our people that are Discord members.
42:44
So now you can go join Discord,
42:49
put in slash discount,
42:52
and it will know what
42:52
company you want the discount for.
42:55
Or you can just press enter
42:57
and it will show you a
42:58
list of the companies
43:00
with the percentage discounts.
43:01
Wow.
43:02
And then you'll tell it
43:03
which company you want
43:04
and it will send you a direct message
43:07
with the discount code.
43:09
So not anybody's gonna
43:10
see it except for you.
43:12
Amazing.
43:14
And then so that's
43:15
kind of like a thank you
43:16
for being part-
43:17
Secret codes, you're
43:17
not gonna pay retail.

43:21
Look at all the things
43:22
that we're doing for you guys.
43:23
Come on now.
43:24
You gotta spread the love a little bit.
43:26
Yeah, and okay, so you're saying,
43:28
how do I get on the Discord server?
43:30
Real simple.
43:31
We just told you,
43:32
jeeptalkshow.com slash contact.
43:35
There's a link right there.
43:37
You can click.
43:38
I'll tell you, it's
43:39
really easy to remember.
43:40
jeeptalkshow.com slash Discord.
43:43
Doesn't cost you a thing.
43:44
You just type it in, go over there,
43:47
and you can ask somebody on the Discord,
43:49
hey, how do I get those discounty things?
43:51
And if you're coming over there
43:52
just to get the
43:53
discount code, I don't care.
43:56
We hope that you'll come into the store.
43:57
Maybe you'll buy something.
43:58
And when I say buy something,
43:59
maybe you'll be part
44:00
of the Jeep community.
44:01
