Ed, I really enjoy your videos. You have a great talent for video production. Your knowledge of overlanding and offroading is awesome. Always entertaining content.
Another great video. I always enjoy your soundtracks too. Can't wait to see your post on the Olympics. I live in Sequim and have just started overlanding with my family. Thanks for taking us along with you on your adventures.
Glad to hear you got the diesel. I love mine. I have about 67k miles on mine and its been a pleasure to own. One note about the cost of oil changes and fuel filter changes. One major difference that isn't typically mentioned is you change oil in the diesel every 10k miles vs every 5k. So while it costs more, its 1/2 as often. Also, I change my own oil now so that cuts the cost even further and given where the oil filter and fuel filter are located (fuel filter change is every other oil change), its just too easy not to do yourself. The other thing I like about the diesel is the range you get. Due to the tires I have chosen and the camper I use I still get about 23mpg meaning my range is over 400 road miles. So there is little need to carry extra fuel. But, if I do need to carry, I can easily place it in the jeep and not worry about fumes due to nature of diesel. So added benefit there. I am sad they are apparently dropping diesel from the lineup due to governmental pressures to push electric. Diesel fuel is artificially being kept high while gas is pushed down likely due to midterm pressure. It will likely balance back out one common sense returns. I kind of think the weight of the diesel engine also creates a smoother ride. That one is hard to say because the last jeep I had was a JK and it well, it was a log wagon. I really hope I can make this jeep last forever because I dont see another engine option that can give me the range coupled with the same power. Its tempting not to just trade mine and get a '22 model before they are all gone. Anyway, welcome to the jeep club and in particular the diesel jeep club!! Reach out to me if you are curious about my camper.. I think you would love it. Cheers!! Great video!
@@IronWolfOverland I’m getting about 2500 miles per container, so about 5k on the whole tank.. I did get a notification from Chrysler stating there is a recall on the programming of the exhaust that may reduce usage for customers.. I haven’t had that fixed yet.
I have always been a fan of diesel myself and yeah I think it's because of quite a few issues that cause diesel to be way more, part of it is something I just caught on a news site that diesel production has been cut back so much that there is only a 25 day supply left in the us, still a lot of malarkey if I say so myself... I did voice this to Edward over Instagram dm but I am tempted to get one of the caps for the fuel filter/water separator and reverse engineer it and make a few in aluminum to add security for offroading after seeing a few people have issues with cracking the cap and all
@@bajasoobnut yeah.. it’s by design and we will all pay the price for it… and not at the pump.. In our daily lives, literally everything we eat drink or buy is delivered via diesel truck train or delivery vehicle.. diesel is a symptom… bad policies are the cause.. and it’s intentional
Thanks for the info! I didn't know that about the oil change interval on the diesel. I really like your setup , especially now that you have that pop up camper. I'll definitely be picking your brain on a few things in the near future, I'm sure. Hope you're taking care, and would like to get some trail time in with you when I visit the East!
I have a jeep sport but it’s manual but I really wanna take my family for a overlanding im new to it, watching your vids makes me do it more, Hope I learn a lot about diesel as I have been in the market for a truck
I'm also learning as I go with this diesel. So far it has been awesome. I imagine once I encounter some issues I'll be sharing that experience with everyone as well
Great video Ed! I have been noticing many dispersed campsites are much cleaner than they used to be. Maybe I have just been lucky - most are pretty remote and far away from the party crowds. Jeep is looking good!
The swerve/wandering is due to very poor steering box. Trust me I suffered with this for 18 months. Got progessively worse. Do youself a favor and get at the very least the psc hydro assist! You will love it. Front locker engaged I use 1 finger to turn the steering. Steering box is way beefier with psc. Ended up with steer smarts yeti XD track bar, tie rods and draglink. The OEM undersized steer box wore out all steering components prematurely. The upgrade is like a new offroad vehicle. Love your content Ed!
Also keep your eyes on the mail they recalled these and some Rams with the Eco diesel engines. Great rig . Fix that steering the dealers will play dumb about it. Jeep wave was from ww2 vets driving their early CJs.
Great point. I battled with the dealership and guess what they told me? Yes, it's a Jeep thing. Almost blew my lid on the spot. Jeep knows the steering is an issue. Ticks me off. Lol
Getting a steersmarts sector shaft/track bar brace fixed this on my JLUR on 37x13.5s. Would highly recommend. It also eliminated all wandering while hitting bumps. Will also be going hydro assist eventually as well.
The lake area would be an awesome long weekend trek for sure, just recently picked up a canoe for this reason lol. Bonus is that it is along one of the legs of the Oregon trail, one thing I have been wanting to do for a good while now is to follow bits and parts of the trail as I have done that sort of in the past coming back from Casper, Wyoming.
A canoe for some of the lakes out here is the perfect supplement! eventually I'd like to get one as well to fully enjoy time out these lakes. Trail from Wyoming to Oregon?
@@KrokemOutdoors I will have to dig up the highway I was on but it follows part of the Oregon trail, you can see the wagon ruts for quite a bit of the way over to idaho
Nice video. Without a real campfire, I prefer not to camp. It’s just not the same without that focal point. A gas burner doesn’t come close, sadly. I wonder the actual stats on fires started by campfires versus lightning, utility companies, negligent cigarette discard, vehicles, etc etc.
yeah, I do miss the smell of wood burning campfires, but when left without an option, and I need to camp, the propane campfires seem like a good substitute to me. I've been hearing about some man-made fires lately, so I wouldn't be surprised at the findings
The sway back and fourth you feel on the highway is due to an aluminum steering box jeep has a TSB for a steel replacement one that alot of people say helps correct the steering feeling
Sorry I couldn't join you on this little excursion. Waiting on product to arrive is always annoying until it shows up and the it's Christmas time! This new power unit is awesome so far. Looking forward to sharing the details of it over a beer/campfire.
lol @3:42 I'm glad you're able to move past and find humor on your misfortunes, great video though looking forward for the next one. I mean no disrespect when I say this but if we can call Maxx Powells accidents Maxxcidents can we call yours Shin-nanagins?
@Edward, bro the first thing I always do as soon as I click on the video is like it. It doesn't matter why. You make great content and every click matters to help your channel.
If I were buying a New wrangler it would be the proven 3.6 or 6.4 liter engines (the 6.4 has really big mark up however), to having a lot of faith in the eco diesels and the 2.0, especially joined with the EV.
Loving your content and the diesel Jeep. Wondering how a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon diesel would compare along side your Wrangler? Looking at both of them.
I have both. The JTR has a Smart cap on it. All my current jeeps are 3.6. I feel like they are different enough that one doesn't replace the other. When I got the JT I missed running around with the top off in the wrangler. The Sunrider is great but it is not the same. The 3.6 does everything I ask of it. I tow a large pontoon boat and about a 5,000 lbs RV with the gladiator. The rpm runs high towing but it does all I ask of it. Lots of people talk crap on the 3.6. I find it very peppy and even fun in both vehicles. It's not the diesel and it's not the 392 but it is tried and true. Btw when I just grab a set of keys 75 percent of the time it is the JT.
My friend Nate has the Gladiator diesel, and you should see both jeeps in some trips not too far from now. We'll do some comparisons then (we'll also have similar size tires and lift setups)
Not sure about US vehicles but I hope the DEF tank has some heating stuff so that it doesn't freeze in winter...back in my homeland the DEF tanks doesn't have that facility so winter expeditions becomes tough so we use gasoline vehicles...
I currently drive a diesel truck and diesel is cheaper than petrol in Australia. Unfortunately we don't have the eco diesel option in the Gladiator (which is my next purchase 😉). Thanks again for a great video!
I have the 1500 ecodiesel and get 29 mpg loaded 600-700 miles per per tank of fuel it gets better mileage than my volvo car Def takes 1 container to fill from under half they are awsome he does not give them enough credit
I've thought about trading my JT for the diesel. All the issues talked about on the forums keeps me from making the switch. Not sure about the JL. I pass on these mountain roadsanytime I need to.
@@AmazonWebService98 I've driven the 3.0 I loved the power and the extra weight. The weight makes it feel more planted. However fuel pumps taking out the entire fuel system, oil leaks, and derating has scared me off a bit. Not only that but then it is taking months for the dealers to get parts to fix it. I am diesel guy just not sure about this one
@@scratchnbell i haven't heard a single person on the FB about the fuel pump 90% of the issues fhede it seems people unplugging the battery and cel is gone lol.
Great video! What a beautiful area. I drive a Bronco 6gen... I get/give jeep waves (from dudes lol haha). One world, one people, one common interest. :-)
I absolutely love my diesel JTR. Like you, I didn’t get diesel to save on fuel costs as the $6k up charge for the diesel would take a long time to recoup based on mpg. I have an LJ build for a trail toy so the truck gets daily/work/camping/travel duty. I’m in Molalla and have onX premium. What was the name of the lake area? I’d like to wander around there with my son.
My diesel Rubic on uses very little DEF fluid. I can go 10,000 miles on 1/2 of my DEF tank. So I’m not sure why you are quoting such a high usage rate.
Depends on how you drive it I suppose, but I’m giving the numbers based on feedback from my personal usage of DEF, many other jeep owners on forums, as well as Motortrend’s testing of DEF usage, linked here : www.motortrend.com/how-to/how-to-check-def-level-in-the-jeep-wrangler-diesel/amp/ Maybe you can provide some info on how you drive your Rubicon for tips on making the DEF last 10k miles

I have thought about it, but it does get tricky trying to film with my dog around (he loves to wander far off away if not kept an eye on). When I camp with Katie though, we love bringing our dog Bernie out
I'm really sorry to say this, but that chair you've got seems to be a new fangled version of an old man's rocking chair on a porch. Granted the view is much better, but dang it you're not that old! Lol!!! Btw, this is coming from a 60 year old.
Then it would be pointless to tune in I usually play your videos while I’m working and just listen Try some voice over I’m sure you can fill us in with some extra knowledge instead of so much dead air Just constructive criticism
Lol box shaped , Nah. The scion has a car that looks exactly like a toaster oven. Wranglers scream ""Outdoors Type""...!!! You see one parked somewhere your brain says ""Outdoors"" . The wave,ducks, and brotherhood is a Wrangler way of life. Another thing. I had a friend from high school who became a G.M. for a dealership. First thing he told me. Do not change a thing on your new jeep. He said leave it alone. It'll go anywhere you want to go as is. Jeep has been making them for over 79 years. They have perfected them. Don't lift it or change the tires . Leave it as is and it'll out live you. And he's actually right. Skinny tires go better than wide ones. And lifting it gives you 0% more traction or clearance. An inch or 2 isn't worth the stress on your jeep or the costs. Look at a lifted jeeps axel case versus a non lifted one surprise...!!! Looks vs Reality. At 6:11 something tells me you're a Techy kind of guy. Oh, you can buy your gifting ducks on Amazon. They come usually with lil message cards to attach.
Ahh looks like Clear Lake I quit going there like you and Jason said the trash is just horrible and the last time we went there camping some random dude showed up at our camp middle of night pulled a knife out we beat the shit out of him and never returned
yeah, it recall it being very sketchy when we saw the garbage there. This time around though, it was very well kept . I hope it stays that way for all of our sakes.
I know the lake. Try camping in area where the trail Don't run infront of you. The dust from other campers and fisherman going to ruin the experience..

Let me know if you want to plan a trip out there 👍
As soon as you want to go!
Lots of good views. Love the new rig.
Thanks Rolando, as always!
One thing you need to do is egr block off and a catch can or bypass filter. Cetane booster additives as well.

If you pass a truck stop, pull around to where the big trucks fuel up and you can get def at the pump. It’s always cheaper than buying the box jug.
I've been trying to find one locally! I love that option

Tips for DEF...make sure it had software update. It sips DeF after break in period. Also find DEF at pump....way cheaper!!

Yeah, most women aren’t really into the Jeep wave thing. You’re not missing anything as I don’t know why that is either.
😂 You know, the Wrangler isn’t so small that you can’t have a fridge, stove, plenty of gear, real food and still be able to sleep in it.
Lol box shaped , Nah. The scion has a car that looks exactly like a toaster oven. Wranglers scream ""Outdoors Type""...!!! You see one parked somewhere your brain says ""Outdoors"" . The wave,ducks, and brotherhood is a Wrangler way of life. Another thing. I had a friend from high school who became a G.M. for a dealership. First thing he told me. Do not change a thing on your new jeep. He said leave it alone. It'll go anywhere you want to go as is. Jeep has been making them for over 79 years. They have perfected them. Don't lift it or change the tires . Leave it as is and it'll out live you. And he's actually right. Skinny tires go better than wide ones. And lifting it gives you 0% more traction or clearance. An inch or 2 isn't worth the stress on your jeep or the costs. Look at a lifted jeeps axel case versus a non lifted one surprise...!!! Looks vs Reality. At 6:11 something tells me you're a Techy kind of guy. Oh, you can buy your gifting ducks on Amazon. They come usually with lil message cards to attach.
Ahh looks like Clear Lake I quit going there like you and Jason said the trash is just horrible and the last time we went there camping some random dude showed up at our camp middle of night pulled a knife out we beat the shit out of him and never returned
yeah, it recall it being very sketchy when we saw the garbage there. This time around though, it was very well kept . I hope it stays that way for all of our sakes.
I know the lake. Try camping in area where the trail Don't run infront of you. The dust from other campers and fisherman going to ruin the experience..
