Jeep/Truck Trade , Summer road trip

[iceman3006]

is it gonna be a camping, and cook along the way, stops unplanned or drive hard and hotel restaurant kinda trip? i have a 65 vw van, a 78 honda 750 m/c, a 97 jetta gt that will all safely may the trip, but if i tag along i will bail on the trip back and bum around PEI and Halifax for a week or so. what kinda mileage and speeds a day are you thinking about running?

[rex4x4]

@iceman3006 camping n cooking all the way buddy and do the cabot trail on the way back .

we will drive as long as we feel like it per day and 10km above the speed limit to avoid the bull shit .

[richthecardude94]

I'd do the run but I can't FFS oh well maby next year eh

[rex4x4]

@richthecardude94 next year we may be doing the same run on the motorcycles .

[blackcrows1]

[oXxDANExXo]

[rex4x4]

@oXxDANExXo lol .... i would still love a manual truck but im too nervous about gettin rid of the jeep .... its runs awesome .... i dont want to get screwed over .

[Ram3500HD12]

Glad that you're keeping the jeep. Are you still thinking about getting a Ford, Chevy or Ram 4x4?

[rex4x4]

@Ram3500HD12 it would have to be standard .

[Ram3500HD12]

@rex4x4 Cool. Have you every thought about the Japanese alternative such as Toyota or Nissan?

[rex4x4]

@Ram3500HD12 omg yea i love toyota but they are too small in my price range .

[Mrjulicaro]

thank god you kept her...you made me nervous...jeeps are awesome.

[rex4x4]

@Mrjulicaro yea she kicks ass

[jeremysimms123]

The trails arnt rough just old wood road with some beautiful scenery. But yeah I'll keep my eye out for you buddy. I drive a red and black two tone yj. Look up Baie Verte that's where I'm from there also a nice camping park for you guys to setup for a night or so. Just a suggestion from so one who knows the island.

[rex4x4]

@jeremysimms123 oh really ??? that sounds cool .

yea for sure sounds great .

ill be going out there with a set of little tires though .... dont want to wear out my good ones .

[jeremysimms123]

heyy rex4x4 what parts of newfoundland are you traveling im from newfoundland an a jeep owner too. if you come out my way i can set you up with some nice cross country trails.

[rex4x4]

@jeremysimms123 dude ill be posting videos about the trip as the time draws near .

im not doing any wheeling while im out there just incase i break something .

but if ya wanna hang or tour while im out there then right on man :-)

[1BubbaMike1]

sounds like a good fun time i cant wait for them videos they will be great

[rex4x4]

@1BubbaMike1 i cant wait to make em lol

[Tyou57]

that is cool you are keeping the jeep do you need to sell the truck the jeep is like or is the toy the truck use for work or bull shit everyday shit well chat lads thanks for the vids bro

[rex4x4]

@Tyou57 selling the truck to make room in my yard .

i have the craptastic trailer for hauling shit so the truck is no longer needed .... although i am a little weary of getting salt on my jeep .

[cobrabrazeel]

plus the jeep would be great for playing in the snow!! :)

[rex4x4]

@cobrabrazeel im not a big fan of playing in the snow with a car , truck or whatever .... they get stuck easier that a sled or 4 wheeler and besides ... snow is cold n wet ... i hate that .

[cobrabrazeel]

@rex4x4 yea snow is cold and wet. but i understand what you mean bro. but sometimes it is nice to be able to tromp through so snow

[deathradio]

Whos all going on the trip?



[rex4x4]

@deathradio wanna come ?? first come first serve man .... i texted u the dated earlier ... book her off buddy .

[deathradio]

I guess now you'll have to do the cross country in the Jeep

[rex4x4]

@deathradio that was the plan .

[SuperFIFTHGEAR]

Sounds like a good idea, Rex16! 

[rex4x4]

@SuperFIFTHGEAR .

[cumminsbayou]

i think that was smart

[rex4x4]

@cumminsbayou yea my jeep runs awesome ..... i went to start it the other day in like -25 after sitting for a few months and she started up like i used it an hour ago .... shes a champ .

[repelstee1]

I think it is a wise choiche keeping the Jeep.

Why do you need two pick-ups...

Love to do a road trip like that!

Can I come?

[rex4x4]

@repelstee1 i was going to get rid of old smokey too ... do u have a vehicle ?? your more then welcome to tag along .

[lifanpitbikerider]

ethey sell something like what you want to put on your reciever

[rex4x4]

@lifanpitbikerider i know but i wanted to build my own ..... its a toss up .... build or buy ??

[lifanpitbikerider]

@rex4x4 yeah i bout mine for $60 at autozone ,but after buying mine relized how easy it was to build my own .

[rex4x4]

@lifanpitbikerider lol yep .... might or might not make my own ??

[smokey1858]

Newfoundland beutiful, drove down three time, its a really nice drive, 110 speed limits through newbrunswick and nova scotia, so you can go 120 no problems, and if your not planning on it, go to gros morne, its amazing!

[rex4x4]

@smokey1858 ive been to novascotia years ago and yea i loved the speed limit .

[krusty1027]

Newfoundland is the of the foggiest places on Earth. Very damp.

BTW, if you stop in Moncton, NB for a sleep on your way, look me up

[rex4x4]

@krusty1027 as the time gets closer ill be puttin up videos about it .

july 25-aug 7th ....keep checkin in .

[rex4x4]

@dave11686 groovy ?? lol 

[dave11686]

@rex4x4 I got that one off of Vlogginlife.

[krankedsilver]

You can buy those racks for the trailer hitches from princess auto for like under 100 bucks. they would be bigger too, so you could put more in it.

[rex4x4]

@krankedsilver yea i found one on sale for 150.00 thats regularly 250.00 .... really sweet man .

[4x44runner]

My grandpa bought a 2001 gmc z71 fully loaded 4x4 auto ext cab short box an my brother has an 89 jeep yj 2.5 i4

[rex4x4]

@4x44runner sweet ..... my buddy used to have an early 90s 4runner 5spd 6cyl and he could time the gas and clutch perfectly so he could drive down the road bouncing the front end and get on average a foot of air under the front wheels .... it was awesome .

[thestuffz]

funny.. do you have a batam trailer for your jeep? i kinda realized i havent seen one on your vids.

[rex4x4]

@thestuffz batam ? whats that ? ive got the craptastic trailer but thats it .

[thestuffz]

@rex4x4 sorry its *bantam trailer*. its those little army trailers that they used to pull behind the jeeps in the war. I hear they give you slightly better mileage to!

[rex4x4]

@thestuffz ohh no man .... i love those things .

[thestuffz]

@rex4x4 if i get a jeep im getting one of those trailers lol

[BackwoodsRedneckGuy]

If your getting stickers printed up, have Billstmaxx do them. he really is the best and i have order stickers before and he always impresses me and he does them pretty cheap too

[rex4x4]

[speedfreaktv]

Oh damn! Thanks for the shout out! Just saw that after my last comment! hahahahahaha Too funny

[rex4x4]

@speedfreaktv lol your welcome buddy .

[speedfreaktv]

You're the man! Great Video! How much to get my logo on your truck? I got a wicked Logo guy in the city!!! :)

[rex4x4]

@speedfreaktv lol im gonna just keep my own youtube name on her .

[polojize]

Get a hold of billstmaxx for some stickers for the jeep

[rex4x4]

@polojize lol everybody is telling me that

[polojize]

It's about time you made up your mind !

[rex4x4]

@polojize :-(

[lincolnmaniac]

glad you decided to keep the jeep!

those fords you were looking at were scary..............i'm a ford guy but i do not like the 96+ new cab style fords or the modular engines........long live the small block ford! pushrod power ftw!

[rex4x4]

@lincolnmaniac yea id be kicking myself in the ass if i got rid of the jeep ... its so much fun and runs a1.

[CowboyPenner]

As far as mounting a box on the back of your Jeep why reinvent the wheel when you could get a scooter carrier that will mount to your receiver hitch?

[rex4x4]

@CowboyPenner yea another youtuber just sent me the link to one i can get at princess auto .... its not the same size but i could use it instead .

[CowboyPenner]

Your wife drives a Caddy so why are you driving beaters? I'm all for saving a buck so don't go out and buy something brand new but something thats a few years old. Get something like a mid to late 2000's Jeep Cherokee. Much more comfortable and better on gas etc etc.

[rex4x4]

@CowboyPenner lol i like my jeep and im not really a cherokee fan , if we go anywhere long distance we always take the caddy anyway so we are comfortable .

[tinydx95t2]

Rex you should get a hold of Billstmax and get him to make you some decals lol

[rex4x4]

@tinydx95t2 yea maybe eh .

[redneckbryon]

Fun ideas for the Jeep can't wait to see

[rex4x4]

@redneckbryon gonna be so much fun ..... the trip i did last summer on my motorcycle out to gaspe quebec and back in 3 days (3100km) was a riot .... this should be better

[Bittboy]

I thought Old Smokey was gonna be a hand-me-down?

[rex4x4]

@Bittboy my kid doesnt want it now .

[Bittboy]

@rex4x4 Well that sucks. It's sad to see it go! It's such a reliable truck even though it looks like total ass :P

[rex4x4]

@Bittboy hey now .... your gonna make smokey feel bad sshhh

[Bittboy]

@rex4x4 It can read YouTube comments on the Weefee? I NEED THIS TRUCK!

[rex4x4]

@Bittboy bbaahhhh hahahahah told ya shes a good truck lol

[milric77]

if you putt somthing on the tailgate the box your gonna put on the hitch will cover it no? putt a decall on the box!

[rex4x4]

@milric77 lol yea i know .... i cut that part out of the video during editing .

[303BoltAction]

drop a 5.0 liter in the jeep :P then its a ford jeep hybrid

[rex4x4]

@303BoltAction mmmmm sound like a sweet idea but unless the motor in it goes im not fixing it if its not broken .

[buckman840]

Am assuming there will be no top if Adam goes due to his booshing tendancies... Gonna be a tight fit in the back seat for two guys? 

[rex4x4]

@buckman840 lol yea good idea about the top eh .... i dont care about the back seat lol ... i wont be sittin there lol and with the top off it wont be so bad .

[buckman840]

@rex4x4 Sounds like an awesome trip!!! Can't wait to see the vids from your adventure.

[rex4x4]

@buckman840 me too .... so far maybe vlogginlife , superdelsol , mrawsomealex , fortwisers . lets see who can book it off .

[303BoltAction]

keep the jeep, Chevs are good but blow diffs especially that generation, my buddy had to redo his u joints twice and he blew a diff and he only had it a year

[rex4x4]

@303BoltAction really :-0 .... wow ... good thing im keepin the jeep

[Jejh4lom]

KEEPIN THE JEEP HELL YEA BROTHA!

[rex4x4]

@Jejh4lom lol :-)

[Peppercatkeith]

haha would have been pretty funny if you put a rex4x4 decal on the truck. hahahahah

[rex4x4]

@Peppercatkeith lol .... almost as good as the guy in town here years ago that had a decal on his 2wd truck that said 2x2 ...... umm ?? lol

[Peppercatkeith]

@rex4x4 now thats funny

[daddytech]

the decals on the jeep will look good with it being all black like that. glad speed freak is getting back into the swing of things finally again too. you can get the reciever hitch rack pre made for a little over $100 billstmax will make you a really good deal for the decals man. he has done some really nice work for me. you could put rex4x4 on the windshield too, just do it in smaller letters. and much as i love my chevrolet's there's just something about driving a jeep that cant be replaced.

[rex4x4]

@daddytech lol .... i hate the saying with a passion .... but "its a jeep thing ... you wouldnt understand" as for the windshield ... its too small to begin with so i dont think ill be doing any lettering on it .

does bill have good pricing ?

[daddytech]

@rex4x4 it is a jeep thing and i TOTALLY understand my best friend had a CJ5 with the 3 speed granny low in it and that thing was a total tank. so i really do get it that's why i made the statement i did. and yeah bill does a REALLY good job and he's cheaper than all of the shops around here, not to mention that Rehab logo on the back glass of my tahoe... no one else would touch that and he did it for me from a picture and did a damn fine job at that too.

[rex4x4]

@daddytech hhmmm ?? lol yea your right .

[JerryBeatFreak]

Along the hood is another great place for decals.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Like why sell the jeep, sell smokey!

[rex4x4]

@JerryBeatFreak yea the hood spot is pretty sweet

[AandD94]

How much you asking for old smokey?

[rex4x4]

@AandD94 750.00

[VlogginLife]

good call. The jeep even though hard on fuel is still pretty awesome. Just gotta get some decent snow cutting tires on that pig and you should be kick ass on the snow.

[rex4x4]

@VlogginLife lol yea for sure .... the 35s will float like crazy .
