From being laid on its side in Canada to all the off roading and rock climbing and over 100K miles Oangie still looks like a new jeep. Chris you have taken awesome care of your beautiful child. Now off to a new adventure afoot. Have a super blessed week. I just read the video and miller time didn't look like a miller to me LMAO.
When I was driving home from Arizona yesterday, I passed an orange mustang that had the license plate ORANGIE. And all I could think was, that's on the wrong vehicle. 🤣
When my friends and I had a 4Wheel drive shop here in Colorado, we did a number of these coil spring replacements. We would go to Autozone and borrow an outside the coil spring compressor. Made very quick work of the Springs. Would also wd40 the bump stops and holders to get them in easier. Overall nice job Chris. CHEERS from Colorado 17:55
Orangie has everything you need for exploring like you do…and nothing you don’t. It has taken you to more places than most people dream of seeing in a lifetime. After all these years, who can argue with your experience?
Aev is good stuff. Real workhorse off road. Not fancy but quality and it works flawlessly. I replaced the aev 5100s to the aev 8100 bypass shocks and while expensive it was a huge upgrade in handing and off road performance.
having done this activity a bunch of times, I kept wanting to reach in and help you do this! You did it nearly how I would have, and honestly, you didn't struggle much, so you obviously know what you're doing here. NJ sir.
Chris this video reminds me when I gave a 3'' lift to my brand new 2016 Rubicon right after I bought it. It was fun doing it. Hope to see another 100000+ miles of adventure with your Jeep.
Good tips here thanks! Man I could not get the front stab link off!! The top nut was "fused" the the bar. I did get the 4 shocks, coil springs, steering stabilizer, rear stab links and rear lower control arms though!
Thanks for sharing Chris, nice job with the maintaining of your JK! That was hilarious washing your Jeep after you did the work. Last week I did the same thing, I’m still digging dirt and sand out of my eyes. 🤪 And thanks for sharing your tire size, I appreciate it!
I'm going to be replacing the front bump stops and rear shocks on my truck sometime next week. The parts are ordered, just waiting for them to get delivered. I did the front shocks/springs, upper and lower control arms about a month ago.
This is a cool way to change the springs I have seen others disconnect the swaybar and control arms. Which seems to be a bit more work . Curious if you can just support the frame and then use spring compressor
Jack up the axle without the spring to put the bump stops in. A little grease or dish soap and they go right in. A floor jack and concrete make the job SO much easier!
Chris, you made that look relatively painless as much fun as it is crawling around on the ground in gravel. Actually it's not much better on concrete when you have tired old bones like mine. Could someone help me up please?
HI CHRIS 👋 YOU MADE IT LOOK EASY ! I WAS GOING TO SAY / BUT YOU FIGURED IT OUT ON THE SECOND ONE / BUMP STOP / I LIKE THE RACHET STRAP , IDEA 💡 YOU MADE ME THINK 🤔 I SHOULD GO SEE 👀 HOW MUCH MY FRONT COIL SPRINGS WOULD COST WHEN MY NEPHEW & I REPLACE THE FRONT SUSPENSION ON TASTY . SO I CAN GET A FRONT END ALIGNMENT JUST ONCE . THANKS 😊 GET THE LEAF SPRINGS FOR THE REAR WHEN I HAVE THE FUNDS . THEY'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF MILES & YEARS ON THEM . MAYBE A LITTLE WEIGHT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE TOO . BEEN GETTING A LOT OF RAIN 🌧 STORMS HERE ON THE EASTERN COAST . HELPING EVERYTHING GROWING & BLOOMING 🎉 BE SAFE ☺️ 🙏 HAVE FUN ☺️ 🙏 ENJOYED ❤GOD BLESS YOU BOTH ALWAYS ON YOUR ADVENTURES 🙏 THANK YOU ! ☺️ 🙏
Well done Chris. I did my first suspension install before I had my RUclips channel so I didn’t film it. But when it’s time to update it, i will do something similar to your video

I sometimes let your episodes play all day while working, some of the most satisfying ones I remember were when you would service the Jeep.
So, rewarding doing your own work.
Well done Chris. I know how much you love Orangie.
Looks great. New engine, new shocks and springs. She's ready to go.
Adventure is afoot.
Fixing up an old friend. It feels good on another whole level.
Orangie says yessssss thank you Chris Back to the trail we go. Don’t forget Shannon
Congrats Chris! Great choice!!!
Thanks!!
Bringing it back...
Great video Mr. Shontz
So nice to see Orangey in all its glory and ready for action !
Glad to see that I'm not the only one who lays in the gravel to work on their Jeep. I will be doing the same job on my Rubicon soon
An Iconic Jeep for sure! Great to see Orangie getting ready for adventure! Chris, you are an inspiration to us all! 😁
Some Jeeps can tell many more stories than others!

Cause of you, I want/need a Wrangler now by replacement of my Pajero :D Love u !

Great to see some love for Orangey, good job Chris!
Still a great looking Jeep 👍 Don’t forget to make sure everything is torqued to spec.
"FOUL LANGUAGE AND LUBRICATION " that was memorable coming from you Chris. 😅😂
Chris this video reminds me when I gave a 3'' lift to my brand new 2016 Rubicon right after I bought it. It was fun doing it.
Hope to see another 100000+ miles of adventure with your Jeep.
Good job! Solving each problem as they came up!😊
Jeep life!
After 4-5 years, time for a new 4x4. Your tech abilities are most impressive, but I'm plain ole lazy and I like all shiny new.
Good tips here thanks! Man I could not get the front stab link off!! The top nut was "fused" the the bar. I did get the 4 shocks, coil springs, steering stabilizer, rear stab links and rear lower control arms though!
So satisfying watching your vids. Especially your how to vids on Orangy. She looks leveled. Great job Chris.
Thanks for sharing Chris, nice job with the maintaining of your JK! That was hilarious washing your Jeep after you did the work. Last week I did the same thing, I’m still digging dirt and sand out of my eyes. 🤪 And thanks for sharing your tire size, I appreciate it!
13:55 - Removing/installing the nut on the passenger side shock is a real PITA. Been there done that had to buy the wrench.
Remove the fuse box, then drill hole through plastic where the top of the shock is to gain access. Reinstall fuse box. Easy.
@@ddbrocato This may sound sarcastic but it isn’t.
Where was this info when I needed it last year.
Thank you. That is very helpful.
WoW, Great job Chris! I have Fox shocks on mine with a 2 1/2 lift on mine.Thank you for all your experience !!
Totally satisfying doing work on your own rig
I'm going to be replacing the front bump stops and rear shocks on my truck sometime next week. The parts are ordered, just waiting for them to get delivered. I did the front shocks/springs, upper and lower control arms about a month ago.
Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Nicely done Chris.👌
New love for an iconic Jeep.👍
Glamour shots look great.
Orangey - the legend.
This is a cool way to change the springs
I have seen others disconnect the swaybar and control arms.
Which seems to be a bit more work .
Curious if you can just support the frame and then use spring compressor
Nice!! Great glamour shots!
Hi Chris nice job on Orangey I am getting ready to do that on our sprinter van
Jack up the axle without the spring to put the bump stops in. A little grease or dish soap and they go right in. A floor jack and concrete make the job SO much easier!
Chris, you made that look relatively painless as much fun as it is crawling around on the ground in gravel. Actually it's not much better on concrete when you have tired old bones like mine. Could someone help me up please?
😂
Dale mas amor a tu chasis!!! 😜 gracias por compartir!
Orangey rides again!!
Very informative thanks
Impact socket police are coming for you! lol great video though showed me what I needed to know thank you
Perfect job for gloves
I'm old enough to remember when people threw thier loose lugnuts in the upside down wheelcovers... those were the days!!

Thank you David! Good luck with the projects (Shannon says hello!)
I really enjoyed your video
U make it look so easy
Great Video!
Thank you Brother, great video!
How do you like those shocks? It's time for me to replace mine and I have a 3.5" lift.
Nice
That’s awesome I wish I knew how to do that myself 😮
Great job man!
Why do i feel he's going to do an axle upgrade?
Yeah that was a nice little job. Should make it a ride a lot better now 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
As others have said -
"U make it look so easy". You'll have to report back on how she rides out on the trail.
“Lubrication and swearing gets the job done” 😂
Dish soap is a life saver. Exhaust hangers... think about it. 😉
👍👍
Well done Chris. I did my first suspension install before I had my RUclips channel so I didn’t film it.
But when it’s time to update it, i will do something similar to your video
Hey Chris, I wanted to contact you but the "Contact us" page on your website is just blank... How can I contact you?
It is on the roadmap to fix :)
Can I have the old shocks?
dont forget to grease ball joints and ujoints while you're down there!
What lens do you have on your camera?
I shave been switching between Panasonic LUMIX S Pro 24-70 and 70-200.
Almost…No broken bolts and not much blood equals… any successful repair!👊
LMAO....lubrication and fowl language. My go-to method as well.
That looks significanly more painful on a JK
That Was Easy! Lol
Lubrication and foul language always seems to help.
Truth! 😆
Hello
Coming from a guy who had a truck roll over his head. Please for the love of God get a new Jack.
