I misspoke, I know they are very capable off-road. I should have said shorter trails due to the range limitations created by the smaller tank and the impacts of off-roading on the battery range, my bad. I like to do long trails like Lockhart Basin and through to Elephant Hill/Bobby's Hole where...
I've had them work on my JTR Launch Edition. Awesome work and very fun to watch their stuff. The Ginger is a classic mechanic/comedian. Paul’s a great straight man as well. But the Ginger is wrong about the 3.6 liter engine.
I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed by the range off road and on the highway. Brad at TrailRecon bought one and got rid of it very shortly thereafter due to its smaller gas tank and limited electric range off road.
Just a few thoughts on this video. While I agree the choice of engines needs to be improved. I own a 3.6 liter and with the proper gearing it’s perfectly fine. The 4xe is great around town but it seriously compromises range on the highway and offroad. So it doesn’t, “obliterate the 3.6 in every...
If you plan on going all in on offloading there are basically three choices. Get a Rubicon or Mohave and you are close to ready. Or get a sport and do a ground up build. It really depends on how much and how adventurous of off roading you will do. Definitely do your research, this is a great...
I was asked by a boat company I had ordered a boat from in 2011 if I wanted CD rocks installed. My reply was, yes and can you add 8 track racks as well. CDs have been obsolete for a long time. I digitized mine in the early years of this century and got rid of them. Just my opinion.
There’s an other video with this guy and an Aussie who is pretty good. It seems to me what failed was the loop that retains the ball on a cheap soft shackle. But in the other video it shows that the jeep yanked him so hard it bent the Bronco bumper severely. Which makes me think they were...
I’ve owned three and still have two of them. I have driven them a couple hundred thousand miles. I had one bad spark plug and no other issues. On my Gladiator I added the Baxter oil filter conversion. It cold starts much quieter with the change. With the proper gears and the 8 speed it’s a great...
I live in the Pacific NW. Bought might Launch Edition in Billings, MT a very long way from where I live. My local Jeep dealer does most of the maintenance. I spend a good deal of time in AZ. Two dealers there work on it. The subject of where it was purchased has never come up.
You’re going to love the change to 4:88s. My JTR is very built and heavy and I get 17.5 on the hiway consistently. The shift points are way better than with the 4:10s. Which I kept for a few months after going to 37s.
