Answer:

Do you feel safe driving it? If you do, then it is safe enough for him. Just make sure he understands that it is not a sports car and to practice as much prudence as his young self can muster. I had a lifted CJ when I was 17 and never had an issue. I have had and have lifted Jeeps since that time with no issues.
you must pump the lever and hold it then tighten the valve so no air enters the system. you must also keep topping up the master cylinder with new brake fluid. you can buy brake bleeders with a non return valve in them (pretty cheap) so you can just pump the brake a few times and then your done.
NO NO NO u dont pump the lever and hold it down and then tighten the valve. if u tighten the valve how is any air gonna come out. u gotta pump it about 6 times then hold it down and then loosen the valve while holdin the brake lever down.wen fluid squirts out then u tighten the valve back up an then u finally let go of the lever and repeat a few times
Clean the reservoir lid and the caliper so nothing can fall in and contaminate it. Take the lid off the reservoir, check the level. Have a new bottle of brake fluid handy. Remove bleed nipple, check it is in good condition clean off any corrosion or replace, putting a blob of grease on the thread. Hook up clear plastic tube (preferably with one-way valve) to the bleed nipple have the other end in a jar (if it does not have a one-way valve pour some new brake fluid in the jar above the level of the bottom of the tube). Open the bleed nipple by one quarter to one half a turn. Depress the rear brake lever – making sure the level in the reservoir does not drop below the minimum level. Check for air bubbles. Keep depressing the lever until there are no more air bubbles (keep looking at the reservoir if you let the level drop you will have to start again). Release lever. Close bleed nipple. Replace cover on reservoir. Check it works properly before riding.
so it depends is he an idiot. i mean i drive a jeep on 33s its my first really jeep im only 18 i have a friend that has a yota on 35s and a chevy on 44 another with a ford on 38s all under 19 and we all drive like grown ups lol but if he is going to drive it like a jeep not a car he will be fine but if he thinks it a car then he can kill himself with it if it was me i would let him get his own car and keep the jeep to yourself
