I believe it’s around 20k. Ujoint Offroad did all of the work and makes the conversion.

It’s has the 7.3L gas engine known as the Godzilla V8.

Glad you found it helpful.

I don't have much experience in that part of the U.S. Thankfully, this works well in the southeast where I live.

@@Ali_Mansour_Editor Lucky...If you take good care of your vehicle, it'll probably last forever...happy New Year!

The Diesel offerings in the United States are much different than what’s found overseas. Ours are choked with emission systems that make them incredibly unreliable. They cost more upfront, are more expensive to maintain, and the fuel is more expensive here. When you factor all that in, gas just makes more sense. Jeep also has a terrible track record when it comes to the V6 diesel.

That was definitely an issue with the older Wrangler platform. I don’t think that’s an issue with the newer ones. Not that I’ve seen at least.

Ive only seen TJ’s rust. And not nearly as bad as Tacoma

Are you talking about the U joints? If so, those are greased fairly regularly as I go in the mud/off-road a lot. It’s like anything else, so long as you stay on top of your maintenance intervals. This is only going to help preserve the components. I’ve been doing this for over 20 years without issue.

Aah noted. Thanks for the information, will start using this method. ✌️👍🏻

I’ve had so many bad experiences with modern diesel emissions equipment that I won’t purchase one. Everyone that I personally know with one speaks highly of the fuel economy and power. I like the 3.6l and accept that I’m basically trading fuel economy for what I feel is better reliability.

​@Ali_Mansour_Editor was your previous vehicle before the Gladiator a small displacement diesel? Peace of mind is definitely worth something isn't it?

​​⁠no. My last two diesel’s were full size trucks. Ram and Chevy. I considered a diesel Colorado as I had a bit of seat time and friends with that platform. Ultimately, I decided the diesel wasn’t the right choice for me. I’ve had a lot of diesel trucks over the years. I never had an issue until the emissions equipment.

I don’t believe the JK 3.6 ever got that feature.

I honestly don’t know as I don’t encounter much of that where I live.

I would recommend getting a set of adjustable lower control arms, and at least an adjustable front track bar. The rear track bar probably won’t be an issue, but an adjustable one won’t hurt if it’s in your budget.

@Ali_Mansour_Editor I was thinking I would need those. You just helped confirm it. Thank you for the reply. Look forward to seeing more of your content.

Just after I got my F-150 Raptor R earlier this year, we bought a 24 Bronco Heritage Limited Edition. I looked at a Braptor at that time as well. I just don’t love it. My 392 feels nicer, faster, and looks better. My wife loves her Bronco, but I don’t see myself getting one to build any time soon.

@ when do we get RaptoR videos?😳😳😳

I put one together for Driving Line a little while ago. Not sure how many videos I’ll make on it. It’s mainly just a daily driver. th-cam.com/video/l3slR8L5Kho/w-d-xo.htmlsi=EDr3NRXrv_GO2KT9

It’s one of the best colors for sure.

On a Rubicon, you can run 35’s with no lift on stock wheels. I can’t remember if the Willys has the highline flares. You need those for the clearance.

@ yes, I know my 24 Willys comes with the high line fenders 😉

That would be awesome. There a company called apocalypse 6 x 6 that actually builds a pass-through bulkhead like that where they put seats in the bed.

So far as I know, they have not redesigned the plug. I know it’s the same on my dad’s 2024 Wrangler.

@@Ali_Mansour_Editor So does the plug just come loose? Would it help to put dielectric grease on the connection?

​​⁠ I believe it’s just the plug design. It also may have something to do with heat and age. Speaking to techs at Jeep dealerships, they say it’s one of the most common things they see fail. They don’t actually fix them there. It’s just a remove and replace thing. I’ve never had an issue with it on any of my JL‘s, but it was a problem on my Gladiator on 40s.

I lived in SoCal for five years. Very familiar with the challenges of the mountains out west.

Yeah, it’s a great crew up there. They definitely said that things got pretty slow right after the hurricane. They seem to be back in their groove now.

Thats what my Rubicon Unlimited 4XE gets on 37" tires (nowhere to plug it in)

Hit up dahcwheelz on instagram. That’s who built it. He’s the owner of Wheeler Industries in Colorado.

I don’t daily drive it. I have a few vehicles. Sadly, none of them are very fuel efficient. They’re all really fun though!

​@@Ali_Mansour_Editor It's about the smiles per gallon 😜

I like that a lot, but I already have the ikamper. So, I ended up buying a contour canopy. That gives me the flexibility I need with this Jeep so I can remove everything and hit harder trails.

One of my favorite suspensions for sure.

It’s a real smiles per gallon machine. 😁

Even when this Jeep was stock, it only averaged around 15. All considering, it’s really not that bad.

I get about 20 MPG on 33's.

That’s impressive. I think the best I’ve ever seen out of either Gladiator I have owned was 17.5.

@@Ali_Mansour_Editor I think I may have missed part of the point. I have a Wrangler, not a gladiator. Make.more sense to me now.

@@bulletpretzels1198 I have not seen that happen before. Unfortunately, I do not have a video of that repair.

@ ok thx . Yeah it was weird . I felt tension like it wasn’t seeding well, but I didn’t think anything of it , and I just applied some grip strength to clip it fully closed and it cracked right in half .

Maybe so. 😂
