Didn't you hear? Bouncing hydraulics is an off-road feature now..



🤷‍♂️
The Germans won’t make mistakes . It’s a feature on GLE’s and Maybach. It does what it’s supposed to do seen in this video.
BUT it will Never ! Be a Jeep !! Period

Suppose if I had the money to buy a $200k twin-turbo v8 luxury SUV, I'd probably drive it into some desert sand dunes for funsies too. Heck, I'd even spend a little extra and buy a custom decal that says "If the Maybach's rocking, don't come knocking!" 😁

And yeah, I believe it works, just never knew it was a thing until a day ago. In all honesty, I think this is something the Cybertruck desperately needs, since I've already seen a handful of videos of them stuck in the sand already (and stuck in a lot of places, actually). For a crazy Mad Max truck "built for any adventure", that thing can't off-road for shit.

I almost gave you a 🤣 then reality struck. A new FE with the SOT (sunroof the MB likely has), compressor and black grille (I can only handle the new one in black) $108,800. Equal the turbos with a Whipple ~$9,500 plus ECM and install $4,000 guess.
What sticker do we put on a $122K before further mods (or mark up, local has $50K on a non FE) Wrangler ? :facepalm:

The Final Edition 392? And blown?? Yeah, $122k seems about right. 😬

Sure sounds like a lotta fun, though! Just tell the wife it's a downright bargain compared to the Maybach. I'm sure she'll understand.. and then demand the GLS for herself.

Still don't understand how the standard 392 is a $30k premium over a decked-out v6 Rubicon X. It's definitely awesome and I'm glad it exists, but the price difference seems excessive just to get a better-than-average engine that isn't something used in minivans and compact Euro-sedans.

My 21 is a keeper. I get enough “You’re High Dollar Jeep” now. Uh, but um, the uh, Whipple was just CARB approved. 🙄 however
A warranty is a terrible thing to waste

At my age… so is time 🤔

Edit-had to check 24 Rubi X $61.2K — no lift or beadlock capable. 21 392 $73.5K. Under $10K difference comparably equipped. $2K SOT cost $4K also.

I now have a wife rebuttal A new one like it is $102,000 Dollars :like:

I say do it 👍 (The Whipple on the '21, not buying the FE and doing that.)

Your drivetrain warranty is out in 2 years anyway, so wait 'til then? And you should be able to enjoy your money any dang way you want, cause you can't take it with you and your kids will only waste it on dumb shit that ain't even half as fun! 😆

Kid takes after me, he just got a “Last Call” Scat Pack Charger to replace his old one for a last V8. That’s when he sent me the $50K over window sticker, saying I shouda’ bought 2- 21’s for 73.5 …. You have to expand it to read the numbers……. FE mark up ?
