Putting aside that the article mistakenly says that Xtreme Recon adds the HEMI, I wonder if this the branding Jeep will use to replace SRT and/or Trackhawk?
Probably.
Yes, probably, to all but the Gladiator.
If they had cooling issues with the 2.0 (which they've implied), it probably won't be any better with the 3.0.
But if the concept grill is coming with the refresh, as was speculated on the jl forum, that could be how they make the 2.0 work...

Not altogether unsurprising that the JT won't get the 392 or XR. Wrangler has volume and direct competition on it's side. I wonder if they're even seeking to compete with Ranger...

The bore on the 2.4 would be slightly bigger, but if they managed to keep it so compact, it would have to be through means other than bore/spacing.
Previous articles suggested it wouldn't just be a 2.0 with 2 more cylinders; that all the changes together would result in it being no more than 3" longer than the Tigershark (probably the 2.4l).
It was posited that omitting cylinder liners was to reduce cylinder spacing.
But the press...
So there ended up being nothing to the reports of tighter cylinder spacing. Possibly that was inferred from the use of the spray in coating over cylinder liners.
I've long argued that those who argue for reducing CO2 and emissions, they should be focusing on hybrids in the light and heavy duty truck segment. It's the biggest segment in the market, and where the most gains could be made.
The focus on mpg can be misleading, and can lead to an...
I previously mentioned Torque Test Channel on YouTube.
Cordless pretty much dominates their rankings, and they're getting even more powerful.
The latest Makita 1/2" mid torque is pushing into high torque territory, and the XGT 3/4" is putting out 1" numbers.
Taking it out of the shop, this...
K-8... we might be in the same town, lol.
Saw a 4th Bronco today.
The same night I saw #3, I also saw my first TRX (grey), or at least the first that jumped out at me. Saw it again today (in both cases, heading west on Rte 4 in Nottingham as I was heading to Portsmouth).
The TRX is rather...
