"I want to help people, not influence them" - words to take to heart 👍

Why isn't this the top Jeep channel on YouTube? There's a lot of channels with guys that do the same thing, but the video quality is nowhere near this good. Everything is clear, everything is clean so it's easy to see what is going on, even if it's a tiny fastener. Lots of props to the camera operator and editor.
And I really like that this channel doesn't shill for a brand that looks good on the gram. Just shows how to do it.

Your videos are 100% BS free. Thank you! There is a shortage of real 392 mod content on YT so this was on point.

Man I’ve missed a good old fashioned wayalife install video. And feature length on top of that! What a great way to spend a Monday evening.

The idea of installing a lift kit on my own driveway has always overwhelmed me. This video gave me the confidence and the boost to do it on my own (with a help from my brother of course). I feel much better to use this video as a guide to get the job done. Thank you Wayalife!

This is why your channel is genuinely fantastic. Thanks for keeping it simple.

Sir, you are helping me tremendously! Between you & a few other YouTubers that work on Jeeps, I am surprising myself & becoming much more comfortable working on both my older & newer Jeeps...saving me lots of money & learning very valuable lessons. I'm not saying it's for the faint at heart. The ball joints change along with 1 ton steering was a much bigger feat than I thought, BUT I eventually figured it all out & now can take my front end apart & put it back together very quickly. I surprise my wife now with how much faster & efficient I have become working on each of my Jeeps. Thank you for these videos. I would love to meet y'all some day. You have a very patient wife as your videographer. Y'all work great together. Thank y'all both.

Probably the best how-to video I’ve ever seen. Each step was explained clearly and you provided plenty of tips and tricks to make the installation go smoothly. Thanks so much for publishing videos like this and for giving average Joes the confidence to tackle this kind of project.

The extra steps you took to show how to adjust the parking brake, went above and beyond. I have a 1:10 scale gladiator, I don’t even have a Jeep but watched the entire show 😂😂 awesome job sir!

[pscbrenden]

100% hand down the best jeep channel on youtube.

[LukeEdward]

This is exactly what Jeep people do. They spend the extra money on a good lift kit, and save money by installing it themselves. Spectacular!

[diesvincent]

Love the install videos! You are instilling confidence in people to get out there and get to know your jeep.

Thank you Eddie, Cindy and Ripley, for sharing your stories with us, we appreciate your life centered focus.

I LOVE these "how to" videos. I thoroughly enjoyed the Pippi series and still go back and watch them now and then. The way you make all of this look so easy give guys like me the confidence that I might actually be able to pull a project like this off myself. I'm also a HUGE fan of the fact that you try to get products made in the USA and also that you don't just get the biggest, baddest, most expensive stuff you can find. You keep it accessible for those of us who don't have tens of thousands of dollars to spend on all of this.

This is by far the best video I’ve found on YouTube of installing a lift on a modern Jeep. From the tool sizes used at every component and all the other details in between just WOW. Also kudos on all the steady camera shooting and clear angles, such a great video. Thank you!! Subscribed

[holocaustic_mcoc]

This was an insane walkthrough. I watched this entire video, knowing I have zero intentions of ever doing this to my own JLU 😂.

[johnambro]

When I'm ready to lift my jeep you are the one to watch. Just the honest facts and tips. Cheers Wayalife.

[dominicportillo]

You and Cindy are one of the main reason I got into wheeling. I love wrenching and playing with my toys so your videos are exactly what I love. Hope you both are at JeepBash in Huntington so I can finally meet ya'll. 🇺🇸

[adrian]

I just installed a lift kit on my JL. This video was a big help for my installation. Hope to see new video soon.

[modsled]

I truly appreciate your honest, step by step approach that you use in your videos. For those of us that are weekend warriors in the garage, these videos are amazing! Thank you! 😊
