Working from home, having a great shop, setting your own schedule, loving Jeeps, owning many Jeeps...You are living the dream my friend!
He is living the life.
I appreciate it very much. I honestly love my job and what I do.
How did you finance the business (land,buildings,equipment, etc? Like to do same on a much smaller scale, with model A s, to also mentor young to mechanical experience, and an appreciation for antique cars and to help keep them out of trouble, restoration of cars and lives!
@@royvanzant5811if you fig it out let me know plz!😂
He said in another video that he used to have 2 employees, so I bet that he paid stuff off while running a full mechanics shop. Just my thoughts.
you are very fortunate to be able to do what you do and make money at it. Y'all gotta get merch, tshirts & hats and stuff!
This man is living my dream
Man how the hell do you have only 43k followers and half a million views on a 2 hours old video…😮 keep up the good work bro
I appreciate it! I’m only 4 months into all this.
Nice to see your channel growing. You deserve it. You seem like just a good honest man trying to make a living. We need more people like you out there.
I appreciate that! I hope so too!!
You make money and don’t have to really deal with the general public that’s the dream brotha!
Keep up the content Dex, always great to see quick tricks and tips from a mechanic that knows what hes working on. You could film yourself doing a full tune up on something and people will still watch and most likely pick up a new way to do something.
A guy noticed how I hooked the chains to lift a 4.0 engine up. I’ll get better but I fully agree with you. Thanks. I appreciate it.
My first car I ever bought was a 1990 2 door Cherokee, I loved driving it... I had a small issue that I never fixed, and just stopped driving it in 2011, it was sitting ever since. I just recently moved across the country to TN, I knew I had to bring my jeep with me to actually bring it back to life some day. I was scrolling through shorts on RUclips after I moved and came across your channel. I looked you up, and to my surprise you're about an hour 30 drive away. I've been meaning to give you a call, but I've been unsure on how to approach the conversation so I've just been watching your content in my spare time, and every time I do, it makes me want to get my jeep running again!
Man you got a great set up! Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
do you dude! love the videos, as a full time mobile mechanic seeing some of your fixes and common issues on these helps alot!
What a job, What a life. Great video again Dex. These are more interesting than you know, And we appreciate you taking the time to record these.
I hope your channel grows enough for you to keep you making these videos. Nice to see how you do things.
Love my 2000 Cherokee! Always something I’m fixing on it lol I’d be in heaven with all of those jeeps!!
Just found your channel last week, and I've learned something new from every video. Thanks!
Glad to hear it!
Place looks like heaven. Just missin a pack of guard dogs
I love your channel. A Ford that loves Jeeps 😄❤.
Man I love this channel! Glad I found it.
Loads of entertainment on this channel. Happy I came across your videos.
Loving the videos! A video on the windows fix would be awesome sometime…any tips you have on any of the common issues with these jeeps would be great!
I'm a new subscriber and love your channel. Keep it up. Being in my mid 70's I wish I could still do what you're doing.
Thanks for subbing! I’ve been working hard to get here. Now I can slack up and work on this channel.
Love it man. My son and I want to restore XJ Cherokee’s. Probably less at a time lol, but it’s a shared passion. I’m in an auto tec school at 41 to learn to fix everything on em, my 4th act in life just because I realized I love fixing mine and my kid’s XJ’s.
Went and bought me a shit box xj after watching you guys put the wood to jeeps over and over and you share you secrets good content
"now what do I do?" 😂 How i feel sometimes working on my vehicle's. It doesnt matter how long you've been working on stuff theres always question marks at some point. The honesty kills me!!😂
Everytime!! Yes sir. No lies.
Great video to start my day with.
Keep up the good work love all the content thanks Dex
Love your channel. Found you on shorts. I've subscribed. Good honest content and might even learn a thing or two.
I was hoping to see u helping the farmer get un stuck
Keep the cool videos coming! for real!
there is a transmission shop near me they buy all the cores that they can get. they save all the usable parts, if the clutches look good they save them. when you go there you have the option repaired, reconditioned , or remanufactured. repaired is usable parts used new bushings and used parts. reconditioned new bushings and clutches and seals. remanufactured all new wearable parts and includes updates if any.
Good job 👍👍
Subbed awhile ago, but Haven't watched much.
--HOWEVER, im glad i saw this "insight video" of what u do.
Already know u enjoy jeeps as well.
For the haters saying ur raising prices, I don't see it.
Now if u weren't enjoying & building them for urself as well. I could understand alittle more.
There is always someone else that could take ur spot.
jeeps in south Florida always want way too much & they beat.
keep up all the good work love it😊
Thank you! Will do!
I hope to buy my first Jeep from you. I am OBSESSED with the 90’s and early 2000’s Cherokees man. They look good to me in any condition lol.
Right on! They will forever be that way!
Thank you brother
You’re cool as hell Dex!!!
Loving the vids man, you are living some of our dreams lol. I currently own a 99 GC 4.0 3" lift i daily, an 02 4.7 i just bought, and a 98 5.9 i just bought. Are you doing merch ? id rock a few "Dex Jeeps No Ducks Given" stickers for sure.
You gonna hook up with the guy too?
Living the dream broo
Speaking of making a living..... I have 96 ZJ for sale. It runs and drives and is currently a daily driver. Its camo wrapped with 3" lift. As I was typing this you say something about a stolen vehicle 🤣 I have the "Clean" title on hand lol. Im throwing a hail mary here
Dex 29min for head removeal for the average guy 3 hrs lol
It takes me 3 hours just to get to the head bolts. Dex had the head off and already knew he was going to use it on the red jeep in 29 minutes.
good stuff dex
Real dream job!
I really love it. Always some kickbacks tho.
Stop worrying about the haters man !!!
I got a feeling this gentleman talks like this when he’s all by himself with no camera on him all his life
Due you're awesome. I live in the murfresborro are and ride coalmont and wheeling mainly. Would love to meet up. I have a 98 zj
An idea on how to stop your GoPro from falling over, what if you mounted it to an old dial indicator magnet.
Love the vids mna
I think your jeep farm is totally Awesome!! I owned 2 yjs, an xj and currently a 2 door rubicon JL 6 speed . I am amazed at what goes on there.
Damn it I need those red zj doors in background lol.
By the sound of the rotation while you was cranking, sounded like it was down a hole! Ya know where I learned that from...?
RUclips 🤣!
Love your Content, Dex! What brand do you use or reccomend for aftermarket pistons?
So far seal power has been doing great for us.
What do you ask for a jeep. When you get them ready for the road
I wish I could pick you brain about a stalling problem with my 2001 TJ. Do you find wiring issues inside the harness from the PCM to the Crank and Cam sensors? I'm thinking that may be the case with mine...
This is awesome. I'm a contractor for the post office, do you have any right hand drive cherokkees?? Keep up the great work!
No, sorry. I help so many local rural route people out. They keep me busy enough.
@@dexjs I bet haha
Great job. What does it cost to swap a 4.0 WJ engine?
bro im about to move back home to alabama to do something similar. would love to work on dirtbikes and whatnot. Also, you got any tacomas by any chance for sale? ha. i know you specialize in jeep though!
Great video! Do you sell parts from your junkyard? Do you have them all cataloged?
It’s all run by me and my head. As simple operation as you could think of.
I want to learn how to fix cars, thinking about buying a jeep to fix up. What should I look out for, or steer clear of as a beginner?
Hello I just came across your videos looking for info. I want to put 4.0 of mine in a ranger. But I want to eliminate everything that I don't need. Mostly like sensors vacuum lines anyting that is unnecessary. Is there any pointers you can give
👍
In the future would you make a video tear apart and rebuild on a 98 4.0? (Or how to take care of the motor head) Probably you already did but my bad. Thnx for the info sénior
I will as I come across the projects.
I have a 1998 jeep grand cherokee laredo 4.0 6cl that won't start on park. Only neutral. ???why????
What engine you like better in a wj, a 4.0 or a 4.7?
Hey man you dont have anyway to contact you. I thought i was a cherokee guru lol. I do have a question about my Cherokee crawler that no one has been able to answer or fix in 10 years almost. You might be someone that could give me an answer. Hasnt charged in 10 years since it froze in a mid hole. Had several peolle look at it and cant fix it. Been nothing but a Cherokee guy since my first one in 2008. Still have five of them. Even a rare 1989 4 door 4.0 5 speed 4x4. I looked for an email on your page but couldn't find a contact anywhere. Not sure where located im in Florence Alabama btw. Hope you see this man and great videos
Man I'd pay you for help. I love my xj got a 98 and I have done some much trying to figure out what's wrong. I got a rough idle sometimes. Starts right up cold. Cranks forever when it gets hot. It will start and run tho. I have replaced tps and iac map coolant temp air charge temp or whatever. New distributor Rotor coil, coil pick up sensor crt performance kit new wires spark plugs.....fuel pump. Fuel is soild at 49 psi. Also have a heat shield on the fuel rail and yes a brand new cps....
It runs great not low on power got 32 in tires and I can spin them... just long cranks when hot.
How often do you have commanches come in or for sale? I'm looking for a truck to pair with my TJ haha
Have you ever had a door that wouldn’t open from the inside or the outside on those Jeeps , curious to know how you might get it open ?
Do you sale any parts to the public? I’ve been looking for a grill for my Special Edition WJ for a few years now.
holy shit, what a stockpile.
hey Dex, do you have a website for parts for sale ? and also those jeep you sell? thanks
after having a 0331 head crack on me i wouldn't put one back on a motor even if it was good at that moment
Got a question I just bought my 2nd jeep cherokee sport xj the first one is a 2000 jeep cherokee sport 4.0 v6 2wd has a motor knock needs a new motor and the newest one is a 1996 jeep cherokee 4.0 v6 4x4 but anyways on my 1996 xj when I put my key in to start it it want start by turning the switch there's the a button under the the steering wheel all I have to do is push it in to start it up
whats the question?
My 2000 xj has a rod bearing 5 that's knocking I got offered another motor it cone out of a older xj I was told I couldn't use a older motor for my 2000 xj I thinks it come out of a 1996 cherokee would it work in my 2000 xj
At what point in your buying cars for a junkyard did you decide to switch to mainly Cherokee? Not that I’m complaining. I’ve loved the Cherokee ever since one of my good friends mom got a brand new one. We’re back in 91. I was in seventh grade and that’s when I knew that was the car for me.
I always wanted the reputation that I would have anything you need for one so I just bought as many as I run across... You need a green fender? got it!!
Drx when fixed how much are you asking for the jeep?
Id kill for late model zj tan driver door panel sombody help
Jeeps seem to fetch some money in south fl
How can I contact you about purchasing a Jeep? Boy you are living the Jeep life 🎯🇺🇸
where do you post jeeps for sale?
I need an air filter box. Kid at the lube place broke off the clips :/ 2004 4.0
Where do you sell your parts at?
I'd rather do it myself and get it done right, at least if it fucks up I'm the only one to blame. That's why you ain't go no more employees.
👍🏻🇦🇺💯⛽️
Where are you from dex? I'm in Georgia so I'm just curious as a fellow southern man lol
haha 38315
@@dexjs awesome!! Beautiful up there!
How did you learn fixing jeeps?
Guy I worked with last all he wore in the shop was crocs 😳
We're you from
I don't think anyone is thinking you are fake man. Also question, if you had to choose a different vehicle other than jeeps what?
would you be willing to sell a motor and ship it to az lol
your like Yoda of 4.0
I been around soooo many 🤓
Sell me one of your xjs lol.
Being female, I am offended. The whole underside of my jeep is covered in oil, but that’s beside the point..😂
If a female because it's gotta drip-dry!!!! Lmfao
Torque everything.. okay 👍
Lmfao "this is a female, I could be racist for saying that"
You must have been pissed when they had that so cash for clunkers 15 years ago. The old jeeps people got rid of made me pisssed
Great video, but I'm positive I have ADHD now.
Explain that one please
Damn u are LUCKY
Would you be interested in building me a cage Dex?
I’m not cheap but I do good work.
@@dexjs give me a discount I’ll paint Dexs biggest fan on the side 😂 lol jk. I have about 40 foot of tubing but the few fabricators I have talked to so far just tell me to buy a kit
@@MrCAMO112 they aint wrong either lol. All depends how much you got in tools (pipe bender, welder, etc.). You'll spend more on labor alone than buying a kit and welding in yourself.
Yeah I know it. Trying to decide right now between D & C and XO Fab
