This is how advertising should be. Jeep seems to get that your channel and some others are the way to market to an audience that actually pays attention to the details. I dig it. Great job TFL and Jeep as well. Cool to see off the lot rigs capable of this....even if they are 50+ lol 🤨
not only is it great advertising but its also great testing for the vehicle jeep can see where they can improve and make it better.
My dad never seemed interested in having me around. God bless, you for loving your son.
You know that an activity will be really interesting when the organizer needs to inform you about the no. 1 cause of death during said activity followed by the information that just two weeks ago someone was crushed to death.
“Let’s take the one without doors!”
-Instant regret! Hahaha
TH-cam served me an ad for a phone in the middle of that. Classy.
Most that are crushed are not wearing there seatbelts . but in any case off roading is safer imo than commuting
@@storemannc Where seatbelts???
scarhart53 The seat belts in the jeep . They keep you in the safe zone within the roll bar. That is the way it was designed .
I was always told, " Do what you love and you'll never work a day of your life." Added benefit is doing it with your son.
You are *Blessed* my friend.
Great video as always !
Keep'em coming!
F’n Awesome ...... Great Videography, Perfect Editing, Love how you’ll stop along the way to talk to other enthusiasts about their vehicles, always have time to pet dogs.... TFL gets it, vehicles are static, it’s how they connect us to the world around us that forms their bonds to us.
Never any water, that they went thru, all dry trails!!!!
Were is the water trail at
Agreed. Made me laugh, almost cry and had me on the edge of my seat.
These vehicles are so impressive. Not a Jeep owner but so much respect for their capabilities off road.
When the Jeep Cherokee KL came out in 2014, Jeep claimed that they took it on the Rubicon Trail. I really would love to see someone complete the Rubicon in a Cherokee TrailHawk.
I don’t think that possible.
Great video, Rubicon Trail is definately on my bucket list!! Love that you two are a father and son team 👍, Jeeping is a family thing. We are a three Jeep JK family, so we appreciate all your Jeep video’s.
Love the father and son combo, love the channel and I hope me and my son will be this close.
Work on it man everyday. Just be there for him, eventually someday he will realize that.
Nice video. In 19:50 roman ask why the tire pressure went up again. Well, that is because the air ( gas f) expands with heat. When you started the trail it was cooler and the tires where not hot from friction. So if you want to, you could air down again. Greetings
1) It's really nice to see the father/son thing on full display., Roman is doing great things with his family. Keep it up.
2) I think this video does a great job of showing how well a completely stock Rubicon can handle those conditions. Kinda shows that it would only take a few modifications to make the Wrangler Rubicon even better than it already is.
3) Did it take 10 hours because the conditions are that tough? Or was it more because Jeep had to tone it down for all the vehicles and skill levels on the drive? If the latter, if you guys were on your own, how long do you think it would have taken to complete day 1?
Seems like putting 35’s on the jeep would have made that a bit easier on the undercarriage.
Think you guys could give the two door some love? I hardly get to see them in action, just the four doors :-) Love your videos btw, this is my favorite, especially when it comes to anything Jeep.
They actually own a 2 door sport. But I agree. I prefer the 2 door version better.
Vastly prefer the two door over the four. Vastly.
@@Michael0697 Vastly?
@@mehGyver vastly
Same here, love my manual 2 door JK. I avoid many issues on the trail that the 4 doors that go off roading with me deal with!
"I'm eating a sandwich" lol
So Happy with these kind of videos. tired of Gravel off road tests with Crossovers
Hey guys, great stuff as always. Just a suggestion on something I've noticed in this as well as other videos where you discuss the features that make a Rubicon a Rubicon. Tommy is always quick to mention the lockers and front sway bar disconnect, which is great, but the 4:1 transfer case ratio is a big deal and unique to the Rubicon since day one. And don't forget the standard rocker protection which has also been a Rubicon staple since 2003.
9 hours of pounding your butt going over rocks at less than 2 mph while an army of trail spotters direct you on how to get through each obstacle. This sounds like a good description of hell!
it's funny how jeep was out there testing their rigs on that trail... and yet still released the JL with that damn exhaust pipe hanging down! take a sawzall and cut it off just right of the muffler lol!!
exhaust gas has to come out from under the jeep to be legal.
jaymanxxxx dang man I didn’t know that
That kid is a good off-roader.
SoundgardenMan Everybody is a "good offroader" with a Rubicon model. Has everything you need stock, no need to learn ACTUAL offroading skills.
Soundgarden is one of my absolute favorite bands btw...RIP Chris...
Awesome video. Ran this trail in my 2001 XJ back in 2014. It was the week after a helicopter went down at Buck Island. (everyone survived.) It was a killer trail, rained the first day which was nice for dust but bad for traction. Love the JL!
If your a father who does things with his grown son you are blessed. For a father and grown son to still be close and WANT to hang out together and do things together is a rare thing. It really is amazing because it shows what a great job you did as a father.
“All the tires are back up to 30 for some reason” (,!?) ... Doh ... heat!
Hurts my soul to hear that $58k jeep screeching over rocks, great video though. But I wouldn't spend that kind of money to trash it on rocks.
You know what hurts my soul even more? Seeing them parked at the mall with bumper stickers saying, "It's a Jeep thing. You wouldn't understand."
Cars And Zebras I agree, I don't understand and that's ok 👍🏼
That's what skid plates are for dipshit.
Can't see spending that kind of money to beat the piss out of it in under 20 miles. No thanks
@@scotthibbard6360
What you don't realize is part of that added cost if for the equipment built into to Rubicon so it can handle this specific task. They also took one which had EVERY option available.
My mom picked up a 2020 Wrangler 2.0T Unlimited Sahara the other day and it's amazing!
I have been driving strictly Jeeps for the last 11 years, but just traded my JK for a new Ram, strictly for towing capabilities. I am enjoying the Ram but MAN I miss my Jeeps! I get my offroad fix with ATVs and Side by Sides now but there is something unique about wheeling a Jeep you just can't get with anything else.
Outstanding video today guys !
Roman, Tommy, you have effectively put me off wanting to drive the Rubicon trail lol - unless its in an old lifted beater of a Jeep, and I'll get a free massage afterwards.
The more Jeep videos I watch, the less I want one.
Man, that looked like you both had alot of fun....I have taken my son and family to Moab Utah several times. There is just somthing about being in a jeep out wheeling that puts a smile on our faces!
Love seeing this father and son team. So lucky to have such a bond.
No Subaru’s were seen or harmed in the making of this video.
Python don Dodd that’s why it’s not called a Subaru trail
15:50 That Landcruiser 😍
Lol I was gonna say... I remember 10ish years ago when I was worried about FLD making it as a show... But I think part of it's sucess is owed to it's honesty, and enclusiveness. In particular I always remember the episode where we spent more time learning Romans new drone, a mavick he hated rather than the car they were reviewing, and I thought that's what people really want, to come along for the ride. Wishing we were doing it. And getting to be there with them. Thanks FLD, I know Tommy and Ronan will appreciate this trip for everything it will offer. Most dad's would kill to get to rest drive the newest jeep on that trail with thier son.
Thanks so much ! It just goes to show how family friendly crawling can be! My little man is two years old and falls asleep in the back seat on some crazy mountaintop trails lol!
Love seeing all the 2 doors on the trail!
Me too. I hate those four doors tanks
Bring back the inline 6!!! With a turbo or supercharger option
you can't even afford the LOW-END jeep
@@tungawoplan234 How would you know? Lol I have TJ with the inline 6 and I just think it'd be awesome it they brought that engine back??
inline 6 was the only reliable engine
One of AMC's best engines became the Jeep 4.0 which made the XJ a much better SUV and provided the Wrangler with abundant torque right off idle. However, it wasn't an engine invented at Chrysler and we all found out what that meant.
@jrg10332 the 2.0 is turboed tho
Awesome video. I’ve never really warmed up to the 4 door Wranglers. Especially with that fixed hardtop. But I am thankful Jeep still makes 2 doors.
Grearlt video, I was just thinking what a great reviewer Tommy has grown up to be while watching your suby.vs jeep review comparison. I enjoy his off road and historical knowledge of Colorado as well. Glad you're able to enjoy these trips together,
Would have been nice with Roman in the 4 door and his son in the 2 door and see the difference between the two going over obstacles. It would have been so interesting. I find the 4 door too long and 2 door too short. Maybe something in between with 2 longer doors and a wheelbase between the two would be ideal. More room behind the second row and more manoeuvrable than the 4 door. I bet they would sell a lot of those if they made it.
That's why the original Unlimited was nice. Still a 2 door, but a little longer wheelbase.
Of I remember it as well as the original scrambler pickup version. Just seemed like a more useful length. The original one looked a little weird because it was so narrow. I think with the extra width of the JK and JL it would be perfect. The 2 door is too wide for the length now and looks a little silly.
Denis LeBlanc the 4 door is kinda small
Was thinking about running my stock ZR2, nawww, ill have to modify for bigger tires and add proper skid protection first.
such a beautiful video. Roman, your message to Tommy as a father was really heart warming :')
Thank you for allowing me to remember my time, (10 days) on the Rubicon back in 2000. Now I will have to find my video and see it again. The Rubicon is a perfect place to show just how well a jeep performs. Can you think of any other vehicle that can do what a jeep can do straight from the factory?
Awesome video for sure! I was kinda exhausted just watching it! I’m not sure I’d like 10 hours of rock crawling. Seems a bit monotonous. But hey, when you get to do it someone else’s 58K Jeep, I guess you get over it!
Waiting for the first “My Civic can do that” comment 🤔
Paul Naylor No, it won't be a Civic. It will be, "My Outback can do that."
My lifted kia rio can do that
my legs could do that, for free. I've backpacked all over the Sierras, absolutely beautiful. For all of California's problems, reminds you what a scenic state it is.
Paul Naylor you are the first sir. 😂
Believe me, my poor 2016 civic CAN NOT do that. I've put it through some crap too keeping up with jeeps and toyotas on forestry roads, but that's the limit.
I am shopping for this exact Jeep, I want the turbo 4 for the MPG and still want to have fun. I hear people talking about this motor and how much power it puts to the road. The funny thing is, I remember when V8s were making 270 HP and 295 TQ, similar number to the 5.2L and 4.7L. I know, they make power at different RPMs, save your time commenting. My point is, its a good amount of power for the displacement.
In 2021 the Jeepster Beach Concepts 2.0 Turbo put out 340 hp and 369 lb-ft.
So awesome that you got Rubicon Trail advice from Ari Gold.
Love the video...but $60K for a 2.0L Jeep Wrangler makes them impractical for this use. Look for a 2.0L Jeep Wrangler to hit $70K in the not too distant future...making them cost prohibitive for true off-roading. Great to see ex-TFLer Emme Hall "You shut it, Tommy...!"
God bless you and your whole family Roman.
Can't get over how great the interiors are now. If you haven't seen one in person, do it. World of difference over the JK. The bar has been set high.
Great video guys and enjoyed the Subaru shout-out.
I like to joke that 4Runners are turtles on the trail. Dragging their belly and lumbering along. Now I’m starting to think 4 door wranglers are the same lol
Awesome video like always
Question for Emme Hall,maybe she sees it... Whatever happened to Ross Rapoport, does he still review cars somewhere?
Other than that great video guys, youve really gone places with this channel, congrats!
Videos like this are the reason jeep is so successful. Roman and the crew respect the jeep culture and the Jeep life. Jeep continues to impress and improve with every new model all while maintaining the original qualities that people love about the jeep. Excellent video and great camera work. Keep up the good work! #jeepforlife
Someday! You'll get up to the Lite Brite gold standard. Good job managing the trail with a stock jeep. Trail guides saved the day! Thanks for sharing!
22R representing
I love classic Toyota’s almost as much as Jeeps.
22RE or bust. ;) I had one but in a little 2wd, surprisingly enjoyable to drive.
@@jeffk464 they're dogs and everyone I know that has owned one for a while has needed to rebuild the engines or redone the head gaskets
You have to put oil in them now and then if you want them to last, duh...
I wanna see the new up coming Bronco do that trail .
I truly hope that Ford is making the Bronco to truly compete with the Wrangler, but sadly I doubt that will be the case.
They’re saying ford is going to be bringing some serious competition to the wrangler. Too bad GM trashed the blazer.
Well it did pretty well!
Looks like a great trip! Noticed all the Rubicon dust on everyone; that stuff got everywhere when we ran the Rubicon two summers ago.
We just finished the trail as this group of Jeeps and Stitch the Jeep was entering at the staging area on Friday with a different group of drivers. What a great trail!
Great vid, interesting choice of jeep, crazy trail
Let me get this rite
For years everyone asked for a Hemi jeep wrangler. They said it would be to costly and nobody would pay. Now they have a 40k+ jeep and they put a 4 cylinder turbo in it. Bad move. Rather have the torque of a V8.
I know this helps Jeep out and all, but it is still really cool they invited you all to the Rubicon trail to trash their Jeeps. You're making me a fan :)
What a great adventure ! I think you summed it up best when you said that this was a bucket list and you got to do it with your son. Its hard to do better than that in life. Love your jeep videos and your evaluations. Keep them coming.
"Yeah, someone was just crushed and killed 2 weeks ago." Seatbelt? I'm thinking 5-pt. harness and helmet + motocross gear! :O
When the Jeeps get stuck, why don't they just have that guy in the green shirt walk over and just pick it up and move it where it needs to be? That is one Big Boy! Wowzers.
Yeah, I think the seatbelt talk is more for insurance and lawyers. I've heard of a shocking number of people surviving off road accidents they were ejected from. That said, the best way to not die while offroading is to pay attention 100% and take your time. Hard to get crushed by a vehicle you never lost control of.
Are you referring to the lady that was killed when their Jeep JKU rolled 540 feet down a mountain side?
So Jeep can afford to provide Jeeps that cost $58k and fly you out there and also pay to put you in a fine hotel but yet they refused to cover my engine under warranty on my 2017 Jeep Wrangler JKU because they found mud underneath and then falsely claim it came in through my intake when the air intake is completely clean forcing me to abandoned my Jeep after a month of fighting with them and then telling me a engine wouldn’t be available for it until October sometime leaving me without a vehicle for 4months in total, forcing me to trade it in and roll over several thousand dollars into a newer Jeep because I needed a vehicle and they wouldn’t back there vehicle and refuse to acknowledge there is a flaw in the jk’s engine allowing it to suck in water/mud into the engines oil pan through a breather hose connected to the top of the air box. Hey Jeep ! FU for that I’m not done fighting with you
Josh Vazquez dude. Sorry to hear this unfortunate experience. Sad to say. But Sometimes you need a lawyer to help. Jeep and FCA SHOULD stand behind their warranty!!!
Time to call Jeep Cares.
Rams Haze thanks, Ive called at least 10 different lawyers and they’re first question is “were you injured do to this mechanical issue?” And since no I wasn’t they won’t handle it, no money in it for them, but I’m still making calls and trying to get noticed by using social media and news outlets, because this isn’t just going to happen to me and I’m sure it’s happened to someone else
look up the guy who started the 'destroy my Jeep' website. he raffled off his Jeep Liberty and allowed people to take sledgehammers to it etc. ended up paying the Jeep off that way and made decent publicity after Jeep pissed him off. you could do that?
thatallredheadude 1 sounds like fun but I had traded it in already and lost a lot of money on it, because they wanted me to wait until October for an engine.
nice to see some real offroading from the TFL crew
Great video. One of the better TFL ones in recent memory. Wonderful Jeep, that looks like a blast.
I could do that in my factory 2000 Honda CRV.
I would bet money that you can't
Brian Amrhein it was a joke. Lol. I have pulled a car out of a muddy field with it though. 😂
They got way too expensive to beat on the trail.
unless you earn 100 000+ a year...
i have a new jl 4 door rubicon and i go on trails all the time i love it.
Yeah, my 10 year old mountain bike is faster and cheaper. Those jeeps are going to need a ton of Rustoleum.
@@lifeofabachelor8547little trails yes. I live in Northeast Pennsylvania. All our trails are rugged and will tear up a new rig like a JL. Then again I just got a 28K Xterra which to me is a ton of money.
i live in newfoundland canada and i use my rig for trail riding all over canada. huntin fishin, camping, offroading. yea sure it gets banged up underneath but its a jeep i was also to moab this year with the new jl oh boy did she take a banging up under.
Great video! I could watch this all day.
What an awesome adventure, it's great to see a vehicle manufacturer offering their products in this way. Great video guys!
Greetings from good old Germany. You live exactly my dream, i would give anything to drive there! Your stuff are great.
Aired down to 23-24 PSI? Did I see that right?
yea.. my highway psi is 25.... 😂
AWESOME video guys! Really captures the nature of the trail. That first day is relentless (did the Rubicon in 2017).
Very cool you get to share that experience with your son.
Simply your BEST video ! But I'm glad that wasn't my 58k
$58,000 for a 4 cylinder. You must be a fool!
$58,000 too rich for me to pound off-road
For a third of that price, you can build an old jeep that would kill the rubicon trail
For 2.0L too...
I think that Jeep execs are trying to cash in on this whole 'pimp my mall crawler' ride craze that's been going on lately. Smh...
But it worth it
I suppose if money is no object then have at it. But for most of us, it is. I would rather buy an old TJ Rubicon for around $12 - $14K and build it up. Put approx. $7K - $10K into the build and you save yourself a lot of money and you have the greatest of all Jeeps imo.
Great video. Father son time is so important. And that little 2 liter turbo seems like an interesting option. I like it.
Ppl in comments complaining about bashing a $58k jeep. Look at the places $58k can take you. Priceless!!
really enjoyed this one, thanks
Jeep was $58K when you started what was it worth when you finished the trail?
8k.
I thought someone got hurt at first when I saw the airlift....
This video makes me want to buy a jeep wrangler. I already own a tundra but you will never see a tundra on the Rubicon I'm sure.
My favorite car channel. This was awesome. You guys are first class. Can't wait for part two.
My Suzuki Samurai can do that. :P
of course!
Toyota needs to bring their jeep back also
cecil otto still won’t compare to the Rubicon.
Always good to have competition.
Never made a Jeep, it’s called a Land Cruiser Jeep wannabe.
Bring back the topless 4runner
@@supersami7748 lol still lasts longer than a shit cheep
If Roman is driving, expect issues, all kinds of issues. It's in his DNA.
Such a awesome video, I always look forward to watching any of TFLs videos, can’t go a day without 😀
Lmfao I just got an ontario subaru commercial (I'm haliburton ontario)
21:34 got some sandwich on yer nose, tommy
I'm glad Tommy is a staple on the channel now
Great proof of concept, when the stock Rubi makes it through it's name sake it kinda has earned the name.
I see Rick Pewe.. I miss that guy.
This makes me want an old Toyota
I'm not even a truck guy or care much about off-roading but this is something I would do. Looks like a blast!
Can’t say how many times I grunted with each metal grind lol best part… “Im eating a sandwich…. I know”. 😂
58 thousand dollars for a Wrangler with the same engine from the Fiat/Jeep Renegade...? lol bruh...
A lot of money for a breadbox on wheels.
This $58K rubi has $20K worth of stuff that will do nothing to get you up the trail. But a sport $30k put built axles $8K and t-case $3K in it, and slap on 40's $2K and a lift $2K. You'll have about Rubi money in it, and run circles around 'em.
my old 98 tj that put about $3k into could follow that Rubi anywhere
Renegade doesn't have a 2.0 turbo engine. Alfa Romeo Giulia has. You're welcome.
$30,000 over what it's really worth
J name wait for the auto finance bubble to burst. Probably in 5-7 years, right about the time the "student loan" bubble bursts & the second housing crash happens.
Excellent ! Now rest and then on to the Part 2 video. Thanks again TFLC.
You guys make some of the best videos. I also like how you talked to others on the trail and showed rigs other than Jeeps
$56k for a 4 cyl Jeep 😬
The only jeep I've personally experienced was a 2007 JKU.
One of my biggest complaint is the shit interior. I know they improved in the later years, and the JL is definitely the best looking.
But they are way too expensive.
58k
Just wait 5yrs, prices will be in the low 30s
I see the license plate or fenders did not rip off. hmmm
Yet
ive seen cars written off aka "considered totaled" by insurance groups with less under body damage then that:(
Love that FJ40 too! Had way back a 1979 for several years in NL. Load of fun with it.
Way cool! I am only 8min into it and can't wait to finish the video!! You guys have the most awesome job and great videos!
