      @@savagebob911 Not that your commentary regarding alcohol is wrong but vapor lock has been a problem ever since the mechanical fuel pump was installed to draw fuel past any hot area on the way to the engine. Odd as it might seem, prior to fuel pumps, gasoline was gravity fed to the engine before fuel pumps were invented. The Model T Ford had its tank mounted above the cowling, below the windshield, thereby above the engine.
      When pumps were added to the system, mechanics were wrapping fuel lines with all sort of shields to keep the heat out. Some worked better than others but if it was hot enough, the fuel vaporized and everyone got to take a break until it cooled and re-condensed.
      The best solution to date (aside from electric cars and they have their own issues...) is an electric fuel pump placed near (but NOT in the fuel tank). Fuel is pumped to the engine under pressure and there are no vapor locks. Whether the intake uses carbs or fuel injection, they all like to get their feed under pressure.

    Before someone else comments, I own a Subaru Outback 2.0D 2015 myself , and while it easily gets stuck in sand here is a tip: Disable VDC (a button that looks like anti-skid), enable X-mode if you have it, and if you own a CVT put it in manual mode and select first "gear" (actually ratio). Subarus are not real offroaders , but if you do thing right they are surprisingly capable for what it is... a regular road car! :)

    I’ve got 7 or so Jeeps with 4.0’s and do a lot of trail riding/rock crawling. Go ahead and add some insulation between the exhaust manifold and intake manifold. Someone sells a nice pre cut kit for around the injectors as well. You should also look into the Ford Explorer fan mod.

    The air quality index has me trapped indoors and to pass the time got into binge watching Matt's recovery vids. Several times I commented they don't seem to air down far enough...well this last video told me why. I used to run 8" steel wheels and lost a driver front at about the same angle on the Ducy Ershim trail, now I run Birddog wheels, 10" wide that have a little bump on a wide bead land to help maintain the seal. Burped some air but have not lost a bead yet. That's not the reason I decided to reply to this video. I was watching the cold water being poured on a hot fuel rail, maybe stock fuel injectors, over the intake manifold and dripping onto the hot exhaust manifold, not that they are prone to cracking or anything, but, a problem I had on my 03 Rubicon straight 6. Remembering when it was new, that problem did not exist. 17 years and 70k miles later it would happen when I fired it up to drive it 20 feet, kill it to shut the gate, since it is a stick and the e-brake won't hold it on 5 degree incline with 35s. It was getting embarrassing. A friend of mine, (who has had his hot rod on the cover of HotRod magazine 2 times), mentioned I cannot have vapor lock at 40psi. Doesn't that make sence? After much research, I stumbled across K suspension. They have 12 hole injector upgrades with a lifetime warranty. Imagine that? They only use a very small percent of extra fuel, My stock one holers were rated at 247cc and the 12 hole are 249cc. I grilled these guys with emails and they responded every time, since I have a SoCA street legal jeep. There are claims of improved fuel economy and HP, but I can't tell, what I can tell is the heat sink issue, vapor lock thingy, no longer exists, and that was what I was looking to cure. To be fair, it could have been a combination of my stock coil rail, which was a waste spark system, meaning it sparked every rotation. My smog guy suggested new injectors and new coil rail, so I also did their OEM Viper ignition coil mod and wire retro fit, as the replacement OEM coil rails seem to last only a few years and are expensive. The only issue with the coil was the wire diagram was off, so don't do this upgrade on the side of the road, unless you are good at viewing diagrams in reverse and upside down. Maybe request the proper wire diagram after the order. Hope this tip helps you and I wear XL 8D

    Subarus have two holes on R/L on the underside of the front end right in the frame for pulling i wanna say about 12in from the bumper. that tow hook though also goes directly to the frame so i dont see why u cant pull from their either. only difference is if u go under ur hooking right to the fram vs to a hook that screws in. Just FYI i see you pulling subarus a lot and always using the hooks. but you dont necessarily have to. i know it can be annoying having to get it every time.

    Damn you! I was making progress on my bathroom remodel and someone texted me. After I checked that message, your "new" video notification popped up and I saw the picture of your truck in a f***ed up position. I had to find out what the hell happened.
    As a result, I ended up taking a 30+ minute break to watch that video, and then ANOTHER one of your videos.
    I don't even do off-roading in my Jeep or my truck but for some reason I have really enjoyed watching your recovery videos.
    I have always owned a Grand Cherokee for the past 20 years, I've gone through several of them, always buying used. I also have owned multiple other four-wheel drive pickup trucks. My Grand Cherokees have always been substantially better in poor road conditions and I have used my Grand Cherokees to pull much larger AWD SUVs & 4x4 trucks (Ford, Dodge, Chevy and Toyota) from snowy) out of muddy ditches and embankments.
    I just got rid of one of my Grand Cherokees that had over 340,000 miles on it and still ran just fine (not uncommon for the straight 6-cylinder engine in older Grand Cherokees) after a LOT if abuse.
    I'd love to be able to upgrade my existing Grand Cherokee (V-8) with some of the off-roading that yours has.
    Now damn it, I'm going to turn off my notification so I can get some work done here in the house.
    I look forward to watching you continuing to rescue the non Grand Cherokee owners out there. LOL

    The bumper attach points aren't for domestic transport via rail or truck, but they are used when vehicles are shipped on vessels from overseas. My 08 BMW 3 series had one extra on the floor next to the driver's seat that a port worker threw into the car when they moved it off the boat, it was slightly different from the one in the trunk. (I specifiy no dealer prep and have a real detailer prep on any vehicle I buy new, so they are all white plastic and same as they left the boat). There are a number of RUclips vids on overseas vessel car shipping that show the yank points being used for Transocean transport tie down.
