2018 2 door JL
I thought he was gonna get stuck for sure on that rock formation 6 minutes in.. crazy.

Shorter wheel base 2 door Rubis are gonna be amazing

Kevin, you are a true Jeep Rock Warrior, excellent video that shows the true capabilities of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLU! and your wheeling skills.I can only imagine when the JL hits the trails it will be jumping over those rocks and boulders. Hmm I wonder how well it would do on the tank trails on base.

Yup, that’s ours!! No lift needed for 35s. No rubbing. Worked flawlessly. The underbody clearance is my only gripe and since I plan on doing hard trails a lot I ordered a 2.5” lift to keep the underside from hitting all the time but the skids are beefy. This thing is definitely great both on and off road. I’d buy it again 100x over and I also have a land cruiser on 40s
Great video putting a stock JL through its paces! Brave...lol! Safe to assume the sway bar was disconnected??? People are saying 35s work but not with full articulation (sway bars disconnected).

Front sway was disconnected per the switch. I was at full articulation multiple times. No rubbing occurred.

Hi! Great video. I have the same Jeep on order. Just wondering. Is that 315/70/17 on stock rims, no spacers, no lift?
Thanks! I like it just the way you have it. Great daily driver and off roadie. Feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions.

Outstanding video! Did you have any trouble getting the spare tire to fit? Does the carrier seem adequate?

I sorta want to do this kind of trail crawlin, but guess I'm not quite prepared to scratch and dent the undercarriage bits. Funny too, as I pin striped my LR3 on its first weekend without too much mental anguish!
That’s why you add heavy duty skid plates underneath. Have done that on my last two JK’s to keep the stock skid plate from getting bashed into the gas tank and reducing fuel capacity.

Hats off to you on that one. Thanks for sharing. Hope you don't mind but I'll be replaying your video a few times.

this was super fantastic, great stuff. How was the water temp? The fan seemed to be running full-tilt a few times.
