My son is 2 years old rite now but I really love how you are a father and son team and hope to have similar good times in the future with mine, your a awesome dad man 👏🏽 and Tommy does a great job with the tech stuff . Love the videos as always .
You guys have just been absolutely killing these series/multi-part vids of late. Far and away my favorite channel for this sort of material on YT. Keep 'em coming, boys!
They will only like your response if you stroke their ego. They don't do well with constructive criticism. This was a good video until they both said they prefer the lady 4 door jku limos. So many wussbags need these fake jeeps for all their "gear" aka shopping bags. The pussification in this country gets worse and worse. Wheelin is with a 2 door Wrangler with just the essentials. These are people who think camping is sleeping in their RV in their driveway. smfh
@@JeepTJWheelin Damn bro you need to ease off the roids. The JKU is a better fit for many people who have families like myself. I have a Ram 2500 Cummins mega cab lifted on 37s I daily Drive, use when camping, hunting & wheeling. Sure the 2 doors have much better breakover angle but sometimes you have more than 2 people. Jeep says it's been selling more 4 doors ever since they came out with them & if it's working they're going to stick with it no matter what your whining ass says.
LOL, I was waiting for a fan comment . Maybe when I’m not working 60 hr week I can eventually do something like this , You two are very fortunate . Some of us get to do this through your camera . Thank you for taking us along for the ride!
I grew up reading 4wheel and off-road edited by Rick Pewe. Thanks for featuring him. And imagine, that trail used to be conquered by Jeep Wrangler YJ’s on 225/75/15 tires.
You guys are great for showing us the difference between a stock wrangler & a custom wrangler with mopar accessories. It also very amazing how you guys really showed us the beauty & the challenges of the Rubicon trail
I had the amazing opportunity to drive the very first Jeep Rubicon on the Rubicon Trail during it's 50th Anniversary run. It was an amazing experience that I will never forget and watching these videos brought it all back. Thank you both for what you do!
@@kennedyfamily9063 tires are 35" BFG KM2's, 30k miles on them and they still got plenty of life. The wheels are Mopars 17x8 Beadlock-Capable Wheels, P/N 77072466AB.
These 2 videos have hands down been the best videos I've seen showing the difficulty of the Rubicon Trail. Very enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work!
After watching your Jeep videos I decided to go test drive a JL and my wife and I immediately fell in love with it. Now I want to trade in my F-150 and my wife's Honda and get a his and hers Rubicon. I am extremely excited for that day. Thank you for the videos!
I enjoyed the Father Son back and fourth regarding 2 door or 4 door. Carrying capacity issues. When the topic of family and friends came into the conversation I laughed to myself saying out-loud... Thats fine to buy a four door if you have any family or friends, as I have niether, I suppose the two door would be good for me. Might even remove the passenger seat to make for increased storage solutions.
Love the long content! Love the Jeep content! Love the offroad content! Keep it up! I just wonder why the Jeep and offroad content is on The Fast Lane Car and not TFL Truck? BTW, No, You're Wrong! LOL. 2 Doors are better. :) They look cooler, keep the Jeep heritage, and don't need giant tires to keep them from looking like school buses; and, the storage issue is easily managed ;)
Nice Video. I would like to hear some analysis of how driving the 2 door's shorter wheelbase agility and break over angle compares to a 4 door in the rocks.
Great video- Trip of a lifetime! Did anyone use a manual transmission on this trip? I'm wondering how the new manual performs compared to the one in the JK.
This is the second time I have watched your Rubicon videos. I am not sure I will take my new 2 dr Jeep Rubicon on this trail. My farmer Father taught me to respect equipment and so I am like you guys who feel bad abusing their rigs. I just want to be able to explore the backcountry like I use to when I had earlier versions of Jeeps back in the 80's and 90's. .Anyway, love your videos, a great father and son combo.
Cliche or not Roman, at 56 years young, I feel exactly as you do and hope to one day do the Rubicon with my son who just turned 30 this month. Your words at the end of this episode for me was my favorite sir
I agree L. Way easier making a K turn on a narrow trail as well. For me, I believe this is one big reason I will hang with my 2012 2 door as I appreciate its smallness in urban city parking lots most of my daily errand life. But I do like what the new 2 door JL offers nevertheless.
@@jeffk464 you don't need a second car for a daily driver. I've driven my 03 2 door wrangler with a soft top since i first got my license. You're a wimp if you can't daily drive a jeep.
Great videos Tommy and Roman!! I watched both parts. That 4 door on stock tires is a fancy rock sled! I like the older (Roman) view point contrast with the younger (Tommy) view point. It sounds like Tommy is really knowledgeable about Jeeps! Both of you two are sticking to relevant facts and that keeps it interesting. Please think about reversing the too loud music sections with the too quiet commentary. I have to keep turning my speakers up and down to hear what you guys are saying and not get blown away by the music. Hitting the Rubicon in my '06 LJ Jeep Truck is on my bucket list.
Wow, what a great Saturday. First cup of coffee a day and this video. I'm not a keeper, but enjoy the outdoors. Always by foot and a backpack. But there was great father and son time. And then the jeep info was great. No e job. Thanks
Not a fan of the 3rd brake light relocation kit. It becomes a PITA to remove your spare and to do that you need to carry a set (or at least two) torx head wrenches to take it off. Which you need to take off because that thing sits over the lugs holding the wheel down. My stock light still works good in it's extended position with my 37 back there.
So true Tommy! I used to think to door was the only way to go in the spirit of tradition. After living with the two door I would take an unlimited any day!
Those dana 44s can run 37s with 4.10 gears with no problem, but I may regear in the future if it becomes sluggish. However no need to swap axles. Great Video guys! Awesome to see Rick Pewe again! Where is ultimate adventure 2018 at, Rick?
Another totally awesome TFL video! Thanks for all you do. But holy moly the fan on that Jeep is LOUD! 3.6L or jet turbine engine? (Most notably near the end of the video). Yikes. My JKURs fan is kind of loud too, but nothing like that.
Was going to order a ‘24 Rubicon X and trade in my ‘21 Rubicon. Until I test drove a Bronco WildTrak with a full Lux package. And after driving it for a month, yeah it is better. Was also able to get them to knock off $3k and got it for $62k. I’m not paying $71k for a Rubicon X. It better fly for that kind of money. Really happy with my decision.
Hey Tommy. Good camera job. I do not need a Jeep. Not at all. But, Dagnabbedit, I WANT one. What's that loud humming, or some such, noise, especially at 16:00 mark? Oh, thanks JIGA, below. Fans, eh? I take 4 door too. Not gonna be driving that Rubicon trail.
Love these trip videos. :) So, any idea how the windshield folded down handled all the bumping around from the rocks? I would expect that the window would have bounced around a lot going over the rocks, and could possibly crack from the constant bouncing.
I bet if you asked your Jeep engineer buddy from the '5 things I hate reply vid' he would tell you that none of that stuff would be necessary because they have done a gazzilion miles of testing and everything stock on a Wrangler was "within spec' for the most extreme conditions. I still cannot get over that guy and what he was implying about after market stuff and basic improvements for off-roading that most people make. Fit improved underbody protection?!?! Hell no, you would make it way as much as a tank and overheat all the underbody parts!?!?! that's still my fave lol
Jeeps were never meant to be a family wagon where you carry a bunch of extra junk or moving a buddy outta his apartment. It was a single purpose vehicle that got to you to your trail the best it could while being the best it could at its sole purpose for it's existence off road ability. If you want multipurpose buy a pickup truck. People have to much stuff out to the trail like their bringing a motor home worth a stuff to live like their staying in a 4 star hotel. That's why these 4 door limo Wranglers have become so popular. I compare this phenomenon like i do with the 4 door side by sides. I get it get more use for the buck and it's probably why the Jeeps are still around because of this multipurpose role the 4 door now fills but like everything else people seem to like to smash the nail with whole tool box rather than just the hammer. I like that people get out with anything that can get dirty don't get me wrong I just feel bad when I see all these dirt worthy jeeps driving around with all this off road ability filling up mall parking lots. It's like looking at chained up lions on the open Savanna. As a side piece I just enjoy the little Roxor making Jeep upset because someone actually stuck to as close as possible to the original Willy's spirit. Instead of the buyer conforming to the vehicle the vehicle has been made soulles to the demands of the buyer. Mahindra has proven that if done properly people will buy a product without having to compromising it. Jeep should have just made a 4 door vehicle and called it something else and not just hacked the 2 door and extended it. Its like calling a 4 door Mini Cooper a Mini. Nope its not a Mini no more guys you added 2 more doors. Heck they put the Jeep badge on what I would equate to cars nowadays so who is the dreamer here yes me lol. Anyways I bet this will bring some heated replies. Just my observation no disrespect to any type offroaders out there more towards the Jeep brand per say. Be easy on me lol. Keep up the good work Fast Lane guys. You should have Lite Brite make a guest appearance and even other guests in the relative field to help with the channel just to keep it even more interesting. You would I could only assume get a crossover of subscribers and be even more popular!
Jeeps were originally replacements for the traditional war horse. Then civilians started buying the ones that didn't get blown up. They've been getting increasingly "civilized" ever since.
The tire were at 42psi!? Why? Lol, that’s nuts! Maybe it was a first time off-roader who drove it in to the springs! 10-15 psi is what I run on serious trails!
16:50 isn't that the same shock design that is on the Chevy Colorado ZR2 that everybody says it's going to break off you need a skid plate just for those shock mounts.... what's the difference between the Jeep and the ZR2 rear shock design? It looks like the same design, is it located differently?
Larger tires also give you a mechanical/geometrical advantage besides giving you clearance. What looks like a boulder to a 33 inch tire looks like a pebble to a 40 inch tire.
I’d like more info on the 2.0L on the trail. You mentioned it briefly but a comparison between the 3.6L off-road would make a great video. Just a thought....
that fan sounds like a semi truck when it's fan kicks on at low speeds always sucked when backing into a spot in a dirt lot with a light breeze going same derection as backing or after you just washed it
You could and should consider airing down lower. You could easily get down to 12-15 psi, giving you MUCH more traction and a much more comfortable ride. I regularly take my 33x12.5r15 Goodyear MTR/ks on my 98 ZJ down to 9-11psi. The difference between 20psi and 10psi is like night and day. And no, I am not running bead locks, I've never broken a bead, and I am not losing any significant ground clearance over dropping from 20 to 10.
How does the new Turbocharged Jeep Wrangler JL do on the Rubicon Trail? Please watch Part 1 to find out: th-cam.com/video/DuQQicDDsgA/w-d-xo.html
My son is 2 years old rite now but I really love how you are a father and son team and hope to have similar good times in the future with mine, your a awesome dad man 👏🏽 and Tommy does a great job with the tech stuff . Love the videos as always .
I forgot to ask how do you get invited or find these places I live in Austin this looks really cool ?
And I thought the colling fan on the 3.6 made it a turbo :-)) !!
So how much fuel did it take to complete the trail
Give more information about LIFTED 2.0l turbo?! Wanna know how turbocharged handle with big tires???
You guys have just been absolutely killing these series/multi-part vids of late. Far and away my favorite channel for this sort of material on YT. Keep 'em coming, boys!
They will only like your response if you stroke their ego. They don't do well with constructive criticism. This was a good video until they both said they prefer the lady 4 door jku limos. So many wussbags need these fake jeeps for all their "gear" aka shopping bags. The pussification in this country gets worse and worse. Wheelin is with a 2 door Wrangler with just the essentials. These are people who think camping is sleeping in their RV in their driveway. smfh
Great series guys, looks like a blast out there. Also, loved the 2.0 liter review out on the trail.
@@JeepTJWheelin
Damn bro you need to ease off the roids. The JKU is a better fit for many people who have families like myself. I have a Ram 2500 Cummins mega cab lifted on 37s I daily Drive, use when camping, hunting & wheeling. Sure the 2 doors have much better breakover angle but sometimes you have more than 2 people. Jeep says it's been selling more 4 doors ever since they came out with them & if it's working they're going to stick with it no matter what your whining ass says.

I forgot his name. All I remeber him buy is the guy from Roadkill jeep episode.
You guys are great for showing us the difference between a stock wrangler & a custom wrangler with mopar accessories. It also very amazing how you guys really showed us the beauty & the challenges of the Rubicon trail
Damian Gutierrez The 2 Doors shorter wheelbase makes a huge difference too :-)
I had the amazing opportunity to drive the very first Jeep Rubicon on the Rubicon Trail during it's 50th Anniversary run. It was an amazing experience that I will never forget and watching these videos brought it all back. Thank you both for what you do!
I am so impressed Jeep puts their own up on a trail guaranteed to scrape and scratch and be a little tough.
A JL Rubicon is for sure my next purchase.
I've never seen so many two door jeeps!? Good stuff!
Outstanding video.
This is the kind of good stuff that motor trend used to make...
used to...
Just bought the jeep you guys use in this video! Compared the VIN on the window sticker at 2:56 and they identical! How crazy is that?
Love the wheels and tires...what kind?
@@kennedyfamily9063 tires are 35" BFG KM2's, 30k miles on them and they still got plenty of life. The wheels are Mopars 17x8 Beadlock-Capable Wheels, P/N 77072466AB.
Holy crap! I didn’t know they’d sell the test vehicle! It’s a badass looking Jeep for sure
These 2 videos have hands down been the best videos I've seen showing the difficulty of the Rubicon Trail. Very enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work!
Also, fyi, I live about an hour away from there. Hiked it and hunted that area in the sixties and seventies with my dad.
After watching your Jeep videos I decided to go test drive a JL and my wife and I immediately fell in love with it. Now I want to trade in my F-150 and my wife's Honda and get a his and hers Rubicon. I am extremely excited for that day. Thank you for the videos!
Well done fellas. Enjoyed watching your videos. It’s not often I watch 2 30 min videos in their entirety. Cheers!
I enjoyed the Father Son back and fourth regarding 2 door or 4 door. Carrying capacity issues.
When the topic of family and friends came into the conversation I laughed to myself saying out-loud... Thats fine to buy a four door if you have any family or friends, as I have niether, I suppose the two door would be good for me. Might even remove the passenger seat to make for increased storage solutions.
I bought the 4 door even tho I do most things alone and rarely have anyone in rear seats
Gary I would keep the seat just put a large duffel bag seat belted in the passengers seat.
Great video, guys, in front of the camera, behind and of course back in the studio.
Thank you for your amazing reviews. I ended up buying a new Jeep Wrangler and Ram Rebel based on all your in put from your vids
Hey guys! Great coverage and really enjoy your channels. One thing to remember though... 2" more tire is only 1" gained in height. All about diameter.
Extremely enjoyed this father/son ride/review. You guys are great! Keep up the good work.
This video makes me want to sell 2 of my cars and buy a Mopar 2 door jeep wrangler Rubicon!!!
Thanks for making this video.
“if it doesn’t work it doesn’t belong there” me thinking about the fake hood vents 😂 Nice video btw
Nice work on the content and editing! Also, it was hard to find this video, it never showed up in the feed.

Well since jeep runs factory rubicon's down the rubicon now I would hope a lifted one could ... lol
Great video. You guys are the best thing about this channel.
Enjoy these a lot... soaking it up... thanks, fellas.
Again that was just so entertaining, thanks much...

Agreed!
Thanks for taking us along for the adventure. Amazing trail Amazing views. Amazing vehicle. Love this channel.
I'm really glad you guys talked about the 4door vs 2door.

Terrific video, I have always wanted to do the Rubicon and now I feel like I was there.
Those 2 door wranglers are the way to go.
Yeah, 2 door soft top rubicon. But have a second car for a daily.
@Cerberus leave them at home lol

Good job with Rick Pewe, the man, the myth, the legend.
Not a fan of the 3rd brake light relocation kit. It becomes a PITA to remove your spare and to do that you need to carry a set (or at least two) torx head wrenches to take it off.

I've loved these two vids. Thanks TFL.
So true Tommy! I used to think to door was the only way to go in the spirit of tradition. After living with the two door I would take an unlimited any day!
I said it before and I'll say it again, you guys have the coolest job! I am so jealous of you all.
Another awesome off-road adventure video. Keep 'em coming!!!
the opening b roll of the marauder bar brings back memories
Everything in that Jeep looked perfect to me... but something has to be done about that fan, seems to spoil it a bit.
Bucket list for sure
I like watching Tommy drive so much better, but he is also so much better at the video..
Thats pretty awesome. Wheelin with Rick seems like a pretty good bucket list item. :) Thanks for the video!
Great jeeps, great video. Thanks for it. Cheers from Poland!

I heard from an interview that with Jeeps becoming more popular in the Middle East, it needed better cooling capacity.
HOPE one day to do this with my son as well!

Shackle, not D-Ring. Good Video! Rumor was there was a Gladiator out with you guys on that trip.
one of the best videos yet!!!! big compliment
You need less air like 10psi. Lockers are not needed full time.
Less air =better ride more grip. Glad you guys enjoyed the trail.
Hey Tommy. Good camera job. I do not need a Jeep. Not at all. But, Dagnabbedit, I WANT one. What's that loud humming, or some such, noise, especially at 16:00 mark? Oh, thanks JIGA, below. Fans, eh? I take 4 door too. Not gonna be driving that Rubicon trail.
Great job throughly entertaining and I’m a Toyota guy
Love these trip videos. :) So, any idea how the windshield folded down handled all the bumping around from the rocks? I would expect that the window would have bounced around a lot going over the rocks, and could possibly crack from the constant bouncing.
Nice work, love the video
I bet if you asked your Jeep engineer buddy from the '5 things I hate reply vid' he would tell you that none of that stuff would be necessary because they have done a gazzilion miles of testing and everything stock on a Wrangler was "within spec' for the most extreme conditions. I still cannot get over that guy and what he was implying about after market stuff and basic improvements for off-roading that most people make. Fit improved underbody protection?!?! Hell no, you would make it way as much as a tank and overheat all the underbody parts!?!?! that's still my fave lol
Aside from having a bigger cargo space, was the 2 dr easier to maneuver offroading?
Great video, great jeep. Maybe a little on the expensive side, but perfect for the trail. It was really cool seeing Rick in your jeep video.
around 25:00 you start hearing that cooling fan screaming. I wish FCA would quiet them down
Thanks so much guys!!
Jeeps were never meant to be a family wagon where you carry a bunch of extra junk or moving a buddy outta his apartment.

Yeah like everything else tax on tax on tax then tax whats left.
Heap of replies lol and they have to sell man. Owning an xj and samurai I enjoyed having storage and not flipping over end to end
Jeeps were originally replacements for the traditional war horse.
Then civilians started buying the ones that didn't get blown up.
They've been getting increasingly "civilized" ever since.
Such a satisfying video.
Love ur job. Great stuff part 3 ? May b discussing technical stuff of jl
Awesome video like always 😎
That thing is amazingly capable. Wow.
I don’t know why but the two door jl reminds me of the tj more than the old jk two door did and i own a 2005 jeep tj unlimited rubicon
The tapered grill gives it a tj effect
Mike C i think so
Then you own a 2005 Jeep LJ. Which is a diamond along with a CJ8
The tire were at 42psi!? Why? Lol, that’s nuts! Maybe it was a first time off-roader who drove it in to the springs! 10-15 psi is what I run on serious trails!
16:50 isn't that the same shock design that is on the Chevy Colorado ZR2 that everybody says it's going to break off you need a skid plate just for those shock mounts.... what's the difference between the Jeep and the ZR2 rear shock design? It looks like the same design, is it located differently?
The shock sits below the axle on both but it is located much closer to the tire on a jl, so the tire typically hits an obstacle before the shock mount
Nice to know
What rack is on the jeep @ 21:47? I want a rack that carries 100ish lbs and lets the front toppers the attaches to the hard top.
Can't wait to see you all do a review on the JT
I like the mopar but i saw one in purple and it looked AMAZING
Love the new JL. Cant wait for mine to come in.
Larger tires also give you a mechanical/geometrical advantage besides giving you clearance. What looks like a boulder to a 33 inch tire looks like a pebble to a 40 inch tire.
That fan is a beast!
great video, great ride, great job
This looks like so much fun.
I’d like more info on the 2.0L on the trail. You mentioned it briefly but a comparison between the 3.6L off-road would make a great video. Just a thought....
The entire 1st video of the Rubicon trail was with the 2.0 turbo.
Brad Conklin I know. That’s why they’re in a good place to do a side by side comparison.
2dr with 35s ,I'm not a taxi and I want the most maneuverablity off road all year!! Winch too
Loved you're summary.
that fan sounds like a semi truck when it's fan kicks on at low speeds always sucked when backing into a spot in a dirt lot with a light breeze going same derection as backing or after you just washed it
Great video guys♥️♥️♥️
0|||||||0 yasss!!
Great channel
Those cooling fans are LOUD ! Oh well, better cool than cooking.
2dr or BUST ! That 4dr it's a frigging rock sled, no, thank you.
They are loud.But I think it sounds COOOOOOL.Good vid.
Yes, the last truck would have overheated, so I’m ok with that annoying sound.
But the sound of a V8 CJ hasn’t changed!
Now I can throw darts at Rick for all the JL design failures too?
If you ain’t breaking you ain’t wheeling!
You could and should consider airing down lower. You could easily get down to 12-15 psi, giving you MUCH more traction and a much more comfortable ride. I regularly take my 33x12.5r15 Goodyear MTR/ks on my 98 ZJ down to 9-11psi. The difference between 20psi and 10psi is like night and day. And no, I am not running bead locks, I've never broken a bead, and I am not losing any significant ground clearance over dropping from 20 to 10.
