Termite Offroad
Добавлен 29 ноя 2020
We are the Kirkleys! We are from south Mississippi and we are starting our overland build on our 1989 Jeep Wagoneer Termite. We want to travel more and so we are just getting into overloading but have been campers for years. We have a goal to head west and document our build and our travels out that way. We'd love for you to follow a long on this journey!

Great video. This gave me the confidence to fix the leak on my 90 Wagoneer today!
Awesome!!👍
Lovely family.
C’mon man you know those two doors have a different steering head 😂. I want a PSC for the dirty max but too pricey to tackle right now. Hopefully termite the new seals hold and termite can be out hitting the trails soon.
Watching u from india
Send it to redhead.
Question. You did the hemi and im doing a LS. Where did you get the 12 volts off the switch to fire injectors? My 86 wiring bulkhead is different than the 87 we did LS couple years ago. Cranks with the switch but when I cut the key off it doesn't kill the power completely . Engine is slow to cut off . Yes. People post on Market place but evidently don't really want to sale it.
I’ll have to go back in notes to see which wire from the bulkhead it was exactly. I used Sublimes quick run harness and it was a simple hook up to that. I’ll check tomorrow and let you know. 👍
Have you checked out Tom Collins (oljeep) wiring diagrams page? Also, LT1swap has a youtube channel that breaks down the harness into what is needed/not needed. I ran my injectors via a relay in an underhood power distribution box.
@@derelict_wanderer I will ck it out . I have lights on in the dash without a key so I think it's the ignition switch inside the column .
I also have a redhead box, and a holley gen3 hemi reduced pressure hemi pump. it does not steer as light as it did but holding strong since a year. I would prefer lighter, but I prefer that it holds more :)
I have a Redhead on Radio Flyer. No issues with almost 35K miles on it. Initially, I noticed a bit firmer steering feel than what I prefer in a vintage ride, but I got used to it. I feel your frustration. In the middle of installing the A/C back in. For the last 3 weeks......... Fighting the flare fittings at the evap core. The seats look pretty rough for a new flare. Looks like poor quality control. Ended up ordering a second one. Will be using the coated cone washers on the new install. Never have had issues with flare fittings til this thing. I am so over this job. I'm in the middle of remodeling our bedroom and need the Wag to pick up some trim boards since it is frequently raining and the wag is the only vehicle with the size to haul them in the dry. Figured it would be a quick, one week process since I had new everything. Nope. I feel that quality control is lacking or non-existent any more. Especially noticed this on generic replacement or reman parts. It seems you have to spend big $$$ on "upgraded' parts to get quality, when that level of quality was originally built into the old part. Yep. There's a reason I call it Fakebook Marketflakes. Noticed that as well. You at least got a response. I try to straight up schedule a meeting time. Freaking crickets..... Good luck on your upcoming big trip! It is a major feeling to know a ride you built did something like that.
Yeah that’s a very familiar story, this should only take a couple days 😂. It’s kinda become the norm unfortunately. Sounds like you got it figured out though which is good. If this steering box continues to hold I’m gonna run it for a while. I’d rather put the money towards getting the cruise control figured out!
Not sure if I missed it but what motor and did you do anything other than a flow master? It’s sounds really good. I just picked up an 88 model that’s in really good shape so I’m looking for ideas. I definitely want to lower it and I’m thinking of doing a 440 swap.
No it’s all stock, 2 barrel carb and all. The 40 series flow masters sound good on the trucks to me. I’m running dynomax ultra flows on my Super Bee with a 383.
Simpson co here love to ride some trails with ya
Cool! We ride in Beinville regularly.
I run 10/40 because… well, south Mississippi as well! 😅 it’s hot down here, dude.
So i have previously looked as you well know at all 3 of those bikes.. I would say get the crf 300l rally. Heres my reasonings. The cb500x and trans alp is both 100 pounds more than the xr and 300. The 300 is the samish price as the 500x where as TA is a few thousand more. The HP difference on the 300 and XR is you lose only 8 HP. Glad the adjustments worked though. P.s. i completely understand the spider deal!!
Yeah I keep going back in forth and then the next day I don’t want anything new 😂. Who knows what if anything I’ll do!
You talk about the height. I can say its both its streangth and weakness. Solid dooms day bike. An absolute tank . You can put t kickstart on it even. But yes itsa tall lady to ride.
Yeah it’s a trade off, it’s a lot better since doing these adjustments. Not perfect but better for sure!
a tool for most everything. who care if its tall...? It's supposed to be. and one of the last "dirt bikes" you can buy with a longer stroke....nice torque engine.
Spiderman!
😂 more like Get this spider off me man 😂
I will be getting a engine from @powertrainproducts in the next two months. I have a 2011 Ram 1500 5.7 2wd. I've invested a lot into my truck as well such as a tesla screen, remote start, rear camera etc and I think this engine will make an ideal replacement! Are there any items that have to be replaced as part of the warranty to be in place? How is your vehicle holding up now?
The only part they recommend is the intake if you had engine failure due to metal possibly getting trapped in the intake. I didn’t have total failure so they told me I’m good to just clean it good. I’m just over 20k on mine and all is well!
Awesome video, even more awesome ride. We live on the coast here, and I'm looking to take my family on a trip like that. Thanks for helping us out there, friend.
Glad you enjoyed it! Desoto has plenty to explore!
I got a xr650l and tw200 i love that simple stuff
She gave you a look and you calmly walked to other side of the top.. lol smart move.
"It's gonna be a long video, cause it's taking you forever." Lol... That's too funny.
Andrea was misbehaving earlier, so by the middle of the video, Wes decided to put her in the pack and play for time-out......
It’s like hearding cats sometimes trying to deal with her 😂
Subscribed! I have a 1976 D100 shorty I'm going to lower just like yours.
Is that your cellphone up front? Also are you using a trail app if so which one or is that just regular Apple Maps ? Thank you
Yeah it’s my phone and I’m using Gaia app. I’ve used it for a few years and like it a lot!
@@TermiteOffroadawesome thanks I’ll check it out. What year is your bike?
@@methodman2472015 just rolled over 18k miles. Still going strong!
Great video. Just found your channel while doing research on the XR. New sub!
Welcome aboard!
Look at the Kaplan video more closely. They never got the fueling under control before blaming the XR's Only header. It was especially bad in the midrange which they made a big deal about. "5hp down"...you don't just lose 11% of your power on that engine by having a header that much bigger than stock. You *do* lose 10% by having the mixture as rich as they did.
I know what you mean, it’s old-school cool and I’ll never sell mine. It’s like an old tractor, a torque monster. Will take you anywhere when time comes. You can gotta work on it. I’ll never sell mine 5:02 5:06
Add the "Pressure Washer Quick Connect Nozzle Kit, 5 Piece" from HF, and you'll like that electric pressure washer even more.
I’ll have to check that out! 👍 thanks!
Why not use the hoists to lift it up and drive the car out from under?
It doesn’t go up high enough, I thought about that. I’m still trying to come with a way to use it to remove it if we need to though. The new setup is a lot lighter so not quite as bad.
Two videos in a week! I've been spending time under the dash installing a bulky box to deal with the heat and humidity. A definite chore. Love Andrea's little warm up/pump up routine. "Arough-ergh-ergh! Okay, stop!"
😆 yeah she’s got some unique routines! A/c is a game changer, it’s made termite so much more comfortable.
Bush Hogging? No vids of yard work? What kind of tractor ? Mower? Tractor work videos are also entertaining. Even if just time laps.
Never considered filming any of it. It’s a regular thing around here I’ll try and throw some in. My tractor is a 85 John Deere 850, Bad Boy Elite 54” zero turn mower.
@@TermiteOffroad theres a following for that stuff. Especially JD. Even maintenance 👍
I got some lights to mount on my bed rack to light up the sides and the bed. I'll get a pic of them. They are something that would probably work for what you want.
Yeah let me see em, I’m looking for ideas!
I like the Mancini main cap with better seals
Up here in New England almost any ride involves mud and it usually cakes in every nook and cranny of the bike. I also do all my own repairs and maintenance and I can't deal with working around dirt. So almost every ride the bike gets washed with a low pressure spray to get the heavy stuff off. Then I spray the entire bike down with Spectro Motorcycle Wash, let it work a few minutes, then rinse the remaining dirt off. When dry, I use Tusk gloss on the plastics and WD40 on the chain and moving parts.
A vehicle that is frequently cleaned means less dirt in places it shouldn't be. Seals, bearings, eyes when wrenching.... I like the aesthetics of a bit of mud splatter on rockers behind the wheels on Radio Flyer, but that's about it.
Sand in the eyes is the worst!!!
I know you paint cars and stuff so you might debunk something I was told 20 years ago in high school... Someone told me that using dish soap would ruin a vehicle's clear coat?? Like would you wash the super bee with dish soap?
No I wouldn’t use dish soap on a car that I cared about the paint on. The de greasers in it strip wax or any protective finishes you’ve applied, and are generally harsher on clear coats.
@@TermiteOffroad thanks for the clarification!
@@theadventurousrider I use it when I’m wet sanding alot of times. It’s a good way to insure a clean grease/wax free surface before paint.
"Hopefully by next weekend it'll be dirty again." Lol That's funny.
I man can always dream 😂
Guess I have a lot more exploring of Bienville to do.
Hey I'm from louisiana and ride an xr650l too hmu
Beautiful
I totally understand the need to get out and ride thise roads to get better... I need to get back out there again. And yes only great thing about riding in the rain is the free wash!
Dang. Every time I watch these videos I start second guessing another cruiser.
Haha yeah it’s hard to shake 2 wheels once you’ve had one for a while!
What is that?!?!?! It looks so unique and practical
Looked like it turned out good.
Yeah I’m diggin it!
windshield,not windscreen. this is not europe. screen is mesh,shield is solid.
I’m running a Parabellum on my DR650 and really like it.
Yeah I’m loving this one so far!
I was just about to order that exact windshield. Glad you did a review, I will definitely buy it now! Thanks
Every time I fabricate something out of thin air the first and second one goes in the scrap pile, 3rd one is perfect. LoL
Haha yep!
I have exactly the same issue with the pump, and I have my entire engine bay and cabin insulated with hydramat. i got a tip that the noise may come from the top high pressure hose from pump to hydroboost. it is quite stiff and replacing that one with a more flexible rubber hose may fix the issue.
That’s interesting, I’ll have to look into that. I can hear the one on my Ram and wife’s Jeep but it’s not nearly as noticeable as the one in Termite.
@@TermiteOffroad I believe if you can hear it in the cab, but less under the hood, it will be the pump to hydro-boost hose, if you have BJ's kit: the earl's hoses are braided steel, relatively low volume, and stiff, that resonates through the firewall. so a thicker (more volume fluid in the hose) and more flexible hose will eliminate the noise.. have not tried it, have to figure out what hose I can get that fits
Yep that’s how mine is. You can’t hear it outside or in the engine bay but noticeable in the cab. I do have the earls hoses from BJ’s as well. I’m def gonna look into what you’re saying, that makes sense. Thanks man!
Man, I love this color! Killer truck.
What a great, honest, down to earth review - well done!
