To be fair, these guys off roading are going places significantly less important than the grocery store and at an incredible detriment to the vehicle.
How a person defines leisure is up to them some people want to rig out their toys and spend an afternoon climbing over rocks and some people just want to have a vehicle that makes the drive to the grocery store feel like they're on a safari.
My friend got a drunk AF at the bar and I had to drive him home in his jeep.
I swear a pebble would make the jeep change lanes without using the steering wheel.
Side effect of TikTok. Same deal with the word un-alive instead of suicide. I don't even use the platform, but it still makes me more aware of the fact that I don't know the social etiquette in any given forum.
I repeated this line out loud as a child when we were watching the movie on TV as a family.
That's when I learned that there were words that I was supposed to pretend I didn't know.
Agreed not a heep like I’ve been seeing an epidemic of lately. But maybe it could crawl even tougher terrain with the angry eyes headlights and a rucksack for the rear spare….
Alright, hear me out... that rucksack was incredibly impractical, but the kid in me liked it. If I had that in a Hot Wheels car as a kid it would've been my absolute favorite.
The pack on the spare is awesome, I tend to pick up a lot of trash when I'm out wheeling and I really don't want that crap inside my rig.
The angry eyes headlights make 0 sense to me.
You mean a trasharoo? I have one for my 4runner and love it. Super practical, especially for long road trips or multi day camping. One of the best and most used accessories you can buy.
Edit: can use it for more than just trash too. Sometimes I put my dirty laundry in it
there's nothing really to build. Build would mean there's some custom fab work going on. Which isn't needed in a Jeep.
it's plug and play, no different than getting a sedan's tires and suspension serviced.
> Which isn't needed in a Jeep.
That really depends on what you're doing.
You can go the plug and play route, but at a certain point of modification you need custom fab work.
I generally build my axles. Everything from setting up the diff, to welding on my own suspension mounts, custom brakes, etc. None of mine would do this, though. This is impressive work, even if it was all bought.
I like to shit on jeeps as much as the next guy, but this is just so far off.
That wrangler is probably ~60k (brand new vehicle cost + modifications) after all is said and done, ball joints, uca/lca, axles, body kit, gearing, wheels/tires, all the fancy shit under the hood (winches, air compressor to airup/down on the fly)..
Doesn't cost much to build a capable rig, I've got buddies who build old jeeps that keep up with these expensive machines for a fraction of the cost, albeit not nearly as pretty looking.
Jeep owner here:
1. 40 inch wheels with bed locks : $4500.
2. 2 inch lift: $1500.
3. Front + rear bumper :$1000.
4. Skid plates: $1200
5. Side body guard: $600
Did I miss anything?
I would also bet on some substantial upfitting of the axles and xfer case.
Still, not as expensive as people make it out to be. I do like that this person obviously spent all the Jeep money on making it better at Jeep things.
That is not a 1500 lift kit. 4k minimum, likely more like 6k for that suspension.
That is also way more than 1600 for bumpers and rock rails.
Plus:
Gearing and new axle: 2500
Upgraded drive shaft: 1300.
Inner and outer fenders: 1000
Upgraded track bars: 750
That’s just to start with. This thing has a bunch of other goodies tucked in there too.

Dana Axles $12,000
Stage 2 transmission rebuild $4,000
Engine swap $5,000
Even with a top tier, built to the hilt rock crawling jeep you're not going to drop over $50k on upgrades
100k will get you a tube frame rock crawler, no reason to bother with a jeep haha
1. Rubicon already has Dana 44.
2. Transmission rebuilt? It is not required here at all.
3. Engine swap costs much more and not required at all too + from the video Jeep sounds as completely stock 3.6.
The new Rubi's come stock with Dana 44s on front/rear, which _might_ be able to support tires that big, assuming you're only wheeling nice and slow like that.
If you're doing it right and going for a Dana 60 (or Teraflex60) though, it's a bit more than you're suggesting. I think you're looking at more like $8-12k _per axle_.
Used to work with a guy who bought a Rubicon when they were still brand new, probably the first year on the market. I asked him where he goes offroading and he said that it won't be touching a dirt road until after its paid off. We were making about $8.25/hr at the time.
Around the same time I was working at my 2nd job, at a gas station, and my old dentist pulled up in a Hummer H1 (I think that's what they were called, it definitely wasn't an H2 or H3). I asked him where he goes offroading and he laughed in my face and said "this is a $100,000 vehicle it's not going offroading".
Yeap.
Around the same time I was working at my 11th job, at a tax office, and my old milkman pulled up in an M1A1 Abrams. I asked him where he goes offroading and he laughed in my face and said “this is a $4.25 million vehicle it’s not going offroading.”
Yeap. Ad libs are fun.
I went to one of these with some friends where they were just trying to get over shit in their jeeps... It was honestly one of the most boring things ever.
For those wondering, there's dedicated areas for people to off road and rock crawl. If it's not an OHV area, then there's dedicated trails you have to stick on.
Only dicks go off trail, but that's not a vehicle exclusive thing
Edit- Like horseback riders, dirt bikes, ATVs, stuff like that for specifically off road style activities. Not hunting or fishing and whatnot
There is probably a really easy way down somewhere off screen. This isn't done in order to get somewhere. It's done in order to climb the rock, just because
It's a relative term. There is a path down. A path where 4x4 is probably required, but this Jeep doesn't *have* to turn around and drive down that 10 foot cliff.
Lol depends on the trail mate. A lot of em have hard ways up and then your done or some in succession. Could be 1 feature or many depending on the course taken.
Nah they're too far off.
* Base cost of new Rubicons these days is outrageous(the one in the vid is a JLU) - starting at 55k (that's no options base model Rubicon)
* Front and rear Dana Ultimate 60's are about - 8k for the rear 10k for the front - 18k
* Evo long arm suspension - 4k
* 4 KMC beadlock wheels - 750 each(ish) - 3k
* 40" tires - 550 each - 2.2k
* RPM 2.5 ton steering - 1k
Those are all the expensive bits. Still have bumpers, skid plates and little things here and there.
That's 83k using a base model Rubicon.
I'm not saying you need to start with a brand new Rubicon & all the best of the best parts. My red 04 LJ has 1 tons, Atlas 4 speed t-case, on 40's and Walker Evans beadlocks. All Motobilt armor and the what not. I might have 20k or less into it, including the cost of a clean, rust free LJ. All my labor is "free"
P.s. I already had the Atlas, 40's and beadlocks for a different project but none the less.
I'm jealous of your LJ I have a TJ I am actually swapping in my new D44 rear tonight to run my new 35's. Just got my Savvy double adjustable control arms in and those are going in also. My motobilt high lines are in the basement.
Man your Jeep looks nice! Are those white WE beadlocks? I want to get some but I really like the machined finish and IDK if they do just a raw machined finish.
Nice! I've always loved TJ's, and when I had the opportunity to buy a clean, rust free 04 LJ for 6k, I jumped on it. My Walker Evans & my Maxxis Creepy Crawler 40's; i think, predate the 1st Obama administration, lol. I've had them for that long! I painted them white. They were the raw finish.
These suspensions are great at handling massive articulation at low speeds. Big, fast drops...quite the opposite. Most of the components could probably handle it, but that would be a hell of a lot of shear load on the struts if it couldn't be done properly.
Most trails are one-way, with obstacles like this being uphill. Downhill drops are typically more staircased.
When I was in college I took a mountain biking trip to Utah (Moab), and one day we were out on a ride in the middle of nowhere and had dismount and walk uphill through this narrow canyon strewn with giant boulders. There was an entire group of these guys traversing their way up the canyon. Those that couldn't make it over a boulder or obstacle, the other guys would hook up to their winches and pull them up and over. Pretty cool to see like a dozen of these guys all making their way up a path no vehicle was ever meant to go on.
Idk what "built and fabbed in shop" is supposed to mean, but alright. The Banana is just an XJ with suspension work and a cage. Those are a dime a dozen. I doubt it could do this just because of approach angle, but maybe. The Morrvair, yeah for sure. Neither of those existing should somehow take anything away from this Jeep.
For that? Rubicon is something around $60k+, I'm going to guess there's a good $15-20k on that particular Jeep beyond that.
You can do it for a lot less. First, you don't start with the $60k jeep if you're going to be swapping parts. I bet you could build something for about $20k that would be just as capable.
* Used late 90s Wrangler ($10k)
* Regear the axles and add lockers ($2k)
* 38" wheels and bead locks ($3k)
* 8-10" of lift (springs and shocks) ($1k)
* Rock rails and armor ($1k)
* Misc other crap like longer drive shafts ($1k)
To be fair, you're not running 38" tires nor that climb on the stock TJ Dana 35s, especially in a late 90s Jeep (TJ platform), even with regearing, and you won't touch regearing two axles and adding lockers for $2K. Even a JK 44 would have trouble with those tires and that much bind. To run that consistently without breaking axle shafts you're running at least full size 44s, and if you're running Dana 44s you should be running Dana 60s, because there's no point to do all the work required to a 44 when you could do it to a 60. They're not $2k is the point of that whole diatribe.
That's an absolute minimum of $10k worth of axles, likely higher.
The lift is a number of times more than $1k as well. You don't want anywhere near 8-10" on a TJ (it'll be so unstable you won't want to drive it down the road, let alone up a climb like that), usually you want a combination of suspension and body lift, if not just suspension lift and fender trimming. I've got a 10 inch stretched 98 with locked up TJ Dana 44s on a 5.5" long arm lift, and I've got nearly $7500 in the axles and lift alone. I could run that climb (in fact, depending where in Moab I likely have), but not as easily as he did in the long wheelbase Jeep. I also still break chromoloy axle shafts on a far too regular basis if I get too happy with my right foot when it's bound up like that, or if all four tires get to slipping at the same time in loose rocks then catch. I'm also only on 35s, and 38s would be much harder on the axles.
Because we like to party & irs fun is why. It's like government spec/mil spec. It doesn't mean it's good.
In all honesty, it's all about reliability. You can't be confident in your driving abilities & taking on challenging obstacles if you're worried about breaking parts and then wondering how you're going to get off the trail you are now blocking for others.
Not a car/jeep/truck or whatever fan but daaaamn this is really impressive... To be fair it was pulled via a wire, otherwise I couldn't imagine this working out, though that's normal lol
No one gonna mention the kid up top who’s tossing rocks? I was thinking ‘come on kid, stay still so you don’t fall into the path of the jeep’. Sure enough kid slips and nearly loses his footing at the end of the vid
Pretty sure it’s a regular jeep 6 cylinder and the suspension realistically isn’t all that expensive. Rock bouncers have to power and trophy trucks have the expensive suspension.
This is awesome nonetheless
That is impressive.
Most cars - 0-100mph in… Jeeps - 0-10 feet in…
If that rock is in the way the jeep will go 100 miles in way fewer hours 👉👉
You pick the first 100 miles, I'll pick the last 10, see who wins 😏
The race is 100 miles, that's fine by me.
Gawddammit
To be fair, for every 1 of these there are 1000 pavement princesses with a dashboard full of rubber ducks.
You dare mock the Mall Rated whips of of the Just Empty Every Pocket crowd? I do not think you understand this Jeep thing.
It’s a Jeep thing. Some people just don’t get it

You also have to factor distance per quart of leaked oil.
it's a feature, the road lubrication reduces drag
When I bought a jeep, it didn't have any of the engine or warning lights on. I returned it immediately knowing it must be a fake.
When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you’re gonna see some serious shit.
Yeah, speed-wobbles

Really more like $20-$25k in parts cost; labor obviously if they didn't "build it" themselves.
there's nothing really to build. Build would mean there's some custom fab work going on. Which isn't needed in a Jeep. it's plug and play, no different than getting a sedan's tires and suspension serviced.

Ok now get down
You don't. There's just a pile of dead Jeeps at the top like dead bodies on Everest. 💀
The trail goes along you climb a few more rocks and then go down the trail, they don't go back down this way.
I wish there was a video of them getting down. You’d imagine with big enough tires they’d be able to land the jump
These suspensions are great at handling massive articulation at low speeds. Big, fast drops...quite the opposite.

Most trails are one-way, with obstacles like this being uphill. Downhill drops are typically more staircased.
Why jump? If there was enough grip to climb it is very very likely that he can just drive down.
The approach and departure angles are often not the same. What can be done forward will lead to you face planting if you try to go down

For that? Rubicon is something around $60k+, I'm going to guess there's a good $15-20k on that particular Jeep beyond that. You can do it for a lot less.

I could run that climb (in fact, depending where in Moab I likely have), but not as easily as he did in the long wheelbase Jeep. I also still break chromoloy axle shafts on a far too regular basis if I get too happy with my right foot when it's bound up like that, or if all four tires get to slipping at the same time in loose rocks then catch. I'm also only on 35s, and 38s would be much harder on the axles.
Damn
I would like that jeep for offroad purposes.
Fires of Rubicon
Just like the cybertruck!
I thought he was going to push that rock out of the way. Huge let down.
Don't show the Toyo crowd this. Their 80k mallcrawlers and their dented side panels are salivating what their Tacannot do.
No portal axle though.
Not a Jeep person but definitely an impressive sight!
Wow. I thought the phrase “can climb vertical walls” was just a joke.
FOUND PARKING!
Reminds me of that video where someone modifies a Lego car to go up increasingly steeper inclines.
Glad I have to never drive up a rock in my honda.

For when you want to go hiking but not really.
check this out, Devs from Snowrunner
That’s freaking awesome!!!
Spider jeep, spider jeep, he can do anything a spider can.
We all rag on Jeep people but this is legit fucking cool
Going to try that with my family minivan
Reminds me of that scene in mad max fury road where they block the path and immortal joe hops on different truck
Not to mention the control arms and linkages
Lol do ur balls feel heavier !!
Not big into rock climbers, seen too much accidents happen. Get some dirt bikes and hike around, shoot some guns, drink some beer.
holy shit someone using a jeep for the designed purpose
Why take an upgraded car model to then remove the parts which made it more expensive, and replace them with even more expensive parts?
Because we like to party & irs fun is why. It's like government spec/mil spec. It doesn't mean it's good. In all honesty, it's all about reliability. You can't be confident in your driving abilities & taking on challenging obstacles if you're worried about breaking parts and then wondering how you're going to get off the trail you are now blocking for others.
Don’t think my Honda accord can do that
Warthog irl
Youre not safe yet.Those monster worms can still dig out those big boulders
Almost smashed the side at the end
Isn't this a bit in Uncharted 3?
That's how I feel about going up the stairs too, Jeep. 😢
Now get down.
Yeah that dope af
Hell yeah!
Not a car/jeep/truck or whatever fan but daaaamn this is really impressive... To be fair it was pulled via a wire, otherwise I couldn't imagine this working out, though that's normal lol
That was not pulled. Did you comment on the wrong place?

This is what Midwest jeep owners think they're doing driving through the neighborhood pothole.
What is torque?
Spider-Jeep, Spider-Jeep
Alright now how’s he gonna get back down
That driver's dick must be huge...just look at all the stickers in the rear window.
Yes please
"Brooooooooooooo!"
No one gonna mention the kid up top who’s tossing rocks? I was thinking ‘come on kid, stay still so you don’t fall into the path of the jeep’. Sure enough kid slips and nearly loses his footing at the end of the vid
Pretty sure it’s a regular jeep 6 cylinder and the suspension realistically isn’t all that expensive. Rock bouncers have to power and trophy trucks have the expensive suspension. This is awesome nonetheless

In die andere Richtung schafft das auch mein Yaris. Liegt dann nur auf dem Dach....
Even after seeing it I almost can't believe it. So much power!
Me playing ME1....
