As reviewed on YouTube, Episode 21: DIY Awning Construction
Hey Cheaper JeeperTV,
I noticed your show last week on the awning concept. Often to keep awnings tight, I use a ratchet strap in place of a rope, as it can easily make the awning tight as a drum.

Hey Cheaper JeeperTV,
I don’t have a roof rack for my Wrangler JL, but I use clamps on my rain gutters on which to secure a tarp when I need it. Makes for a very inexpensive awning. I guess I’m a Cheaper Jeeper too.

Hey Cheaper JeeperTV,
After viewing the “Removing the Rear Seat” video, I thought I’d share a tip to help other viewers who may need to loosen tight bolts. Simply join a box head wrench to the end of your ratchet, and you will increase your leverage. Thought it might help.

Hey Cheaper JeeperTV,
My father loves taking his Jeep off-road to get it dirty. After watching your last episode, I got him some car wash soap, a microfibre wash mitt, an absorber drying towel and some 303 Aerospace protectant for father’s day. Thanks for the tips.

Hey Cheaper JeeperTV,
My husband is always working on his Jeep, and I picked up this product for him which cleans up greasy and oily messes extremely well. A one litre bottle is only about $1.25 at The Dollar Tree. It’s called “LA’s Totally Awesome!” I highly recommend this effective and economical product.

Hey Cheaper JeeperTV,
I thought I’d share with you and your viewers an amazing product that not only is useful in cleaning your rims, but also cleans rail dust off your paint, at the fraction of the cost of similar rail dust dedicated products. It’s Meguiar’s Ultimate Wheel Cleaner. You should try it!

I was thinking of purchasing a Rear Seat Tilt Kit to make the rear seats more comfortable for my passengers. Any tips?

Hey Cheaper JeeperTV,
I use the Xprite Mattress Sleeping Camping bed Pad in my Jeep. It's got great reviews online and makes relaxing and sleeping in the Jeep much nicer.

As reviewed on YouTube, Episode 12: Trailer Hitch Cargo Carrier
Hey Cheaper JeeperTV,
We do not wish to mount items on the roof of our Jeep when we go overlanding. We use a trailer hitch cargo basket to bring along awkward items like jerry cans. Thought I’d share.

As reviewed on YouTube, Episode 11: Cargo Liner
Hey Cheaper JeeperTV,
I use a “Dirty Dog” liner in the back of my Jeep whenever I have to haul bags of mulch or soil. It’s a great way to protect the surfaces yet still realize maximum utility in your Jeep.

I bought a rolling mechanic stool for my husband for his birthday. He loved it, and I thought your viewers might also find it useful.

Hey Cheaper JeeperTV,
I registered with Mopar Parts Canada online, and they email me 20% off promotions. Maybe your subscribers could do that too?

As reviewed on YouTube, Episode 7: Black Friday Sales
Hey Cheaper JeeperTV,
Stock up on 0W20 on Black Friday. The oil at CT is 60% off regular price, plus there’s a $10 mail in rebate? Instead of $57 for 5L, you’d pay $13 instead.

As reviewed on YouTube, Episode 6: Re-Torque Lug Nuts, After 50km Driving
Hey CheaperJeeperTV,
Nice YouTube channel.... also one thing when rotating your tires, make sure to torque the lugs again after 25 to 50km... especially on alloy wheels.

As reviewed on YouTube, Episode 5: How to Use 4wd with Selec Trac
Hey CheaperJeeperTV,
I thought I'd share what I do when the TPMS light on my Wrangler comes on during extreme temperature changes, as winter approaches. I just use a small inexpensive 12V air pump, that conveniently stores under my seat. The model that is digital is exact and has an auto shutoff.
It's inexpensive, handy and convenient.

Hey Cheaper JeeperTV,
Can you explain from your experience, if Rust Proofing is really worth it on today's vehicles?

As posted in the comments on YouTube, Episode 3: Pay Invoice Price
Hey Cheaper JeeperTV,
Check out carcostcanada.ca last few new cars I bought I used this site, they even give the hold back so you know exactly what they are really paying. I've walked in and offered $500 over invoice minus the hold back. That leaves 500 bucks in their pocket plush fright and pdi.not getting ruined by wet snow and salt, like other mats that do not provide the same protection.

As reviewed on YouTube, Episode 3: Pay Invoice Price
Hey Cheaper JeeperTV,
I just wanted to share that I really like the Weather Tech brand of All Weather Floor Mats, as they fit perfectly and rise up high enough on the sides to protect my carpets. I am finding that my carpets are not getting ruined by wet snow and salt, like other mats that do not provide the same protection.

Hey Cheaper JeeperTV,
Can you share with your audience some insight on oil drain valves? I have one and find it very convenient, and I thought others might like to know about these things.
