Love amsoil's products, specifically their severe gear gear oil, but honestly I have switched to HSS' EDT and their diesel extreme every 6k. The container makes dosing much easier and it only requires 1 oz per tank vs the excessive amount of diesel kleen. Still have a bunch of DK in the garage.
I'm very well aware what it costs to build one of these as I have spent a bunch on my Schutt M1102 and it's no where near done. Ends up being way more than one would think but still less than a turnkey build.
Yes, you will have in yours what this costs. However yours will be fully done to your...
We have an M1102 and love it but for tighter trails I would really like an M416. Problem with them is they are either rust bucket massive projects or someone already did said work and wants a good bit for it. But no where near 20k.
Yeah don't get me wrong there's not really anything wrong with it, but it's the same thing as the stock components basically. With thin wall control arms that get banged up awfully easily when you actually wheel the thing, and flex robbing joints in the name of NVH reduction.
They spent a million dollars designing/testing/producing their lifts?!? I hope that's a joke because the Mopar lift is absolutely nothing to write home about, ESPECIALLY if they invested those kind of resources into the R&D/production.
There's really only a few spots where it's an issue, and even those spots with some wheeling experience aren't bad at all. Now that isn't to say you can't find yourself in a pickle very quickly. Definitely do not go alone.
If you do try, stay right as you reach the loop section and come back...
Ran Top of the World, including the loop at the top, in a bone stock JLURD with no problems. Little scraping here and there but no biggie whatsoever. Pick good lines and it's a breeze. Unfortunately the haze from the Pack Creek fire last year spoiled the view😪
Actually dropped our M1102 trailer...
Wether it can run it constant vs the starting load are 2 completely different things. For example my big ol 60 gallon in the shop only pulls something like 20A at 240VAC during operation, but to start it hits somewhere near 33A.
Compressing air unfortunately makes it hot. Even our ARB dual does the same, or hell even my 60 gallon in the shop. However this is something I have not seen. I just use a standard poly hose with QD's off the compressor and run that to a speedflate kit. No issues on our end with this setup
Not sure how those numbers add up, hear me out. The 4xe gets 25 miles electric propulsion, or about 3 miles when in 4low while using the jeep for what it was intended for, under the absolute best case scenario out of a 17kwh pack. Multiple that by 10, which is much larger than a 130kwh pack, and...
100% agreed but you just showed exactly why it's a problem. Electric ac induction motors are definitely, without question, MUCH more efficient. However that means that they have almost nowhere to go in terms of gains. The only gains you will ever see with them is not the motor itself but the...
We did Fins and things, Hell's, Elephant Hill, Top of the World, and Steel Bender to "the fall" this year in our stock JLURD. Pretty easy trail (Hell's) in all reality, the optional stuff are the difficult areas but even a few of those aren't that bad.
Not gonna lie, this could make me switch from the diesel. Similar torque but almost 140 more horsepower sounds quite interesting. I'm sure the fuel economy would be nowhere near the same though.
