I love seeing little Sarah in the videos. She is hallarious. Her gestures are so cute. Both of you together are great. Both of your personalities are great. Live to see little Sarah.
Carpet is marine grade and the floor has plugs so you can hose it out :) The carpet is also in sections and not attached, so you can take it out to clean if it gets really dirty.
I just figured out why I like your videos. 1.You don't pretend to be anything but yourselves.2. You aren't jaded like some of the "professional" reviewers who try to be as stoic as possible when driving these cars. Who wants to buy a car if the person reviewing it looks like they are not having fun? Keep it up Sarah's!
I think the reason why the traction control button wasn’t changed to a Jeep is because of D.O.T. Kinda like you wouldn’t change the shape of a stop sign to a rhombus. Even though it’s still red and says stop, it’s the shape that is associated with it as well. I don’t know for sure, but it’s a theory in my brain. I love you videos and have really enjoyed watching the growth in your channel! I have watched every video you have put out since before the TT and during the MR2 build. I told you I would cheer for you way back then when you were dealing with coolant issues on the mr2 and were frustrated with it, and here I am still cheering!! 👏🏼👏🏼 You rock!
This style of video is where you Excell. The landscape, the terrain, the car view and not least the 2 adorable Sarah’s! The humour, innocence quips from little Sarah and general informative and entertaining presentation. I love you 2 and wish you well in all your quests and projects.
Sarah... Something I thought I'd Mention... While replacing the engine bearings in my jeep... i cleaned the oil pan and associated fasteners to like new condition... While you are outfitting your new shop, a necessity I found long time ago when I did restorations is a Stove with oven ( for doing bearings), and a Dishwasher for cleaning those almost clean parts after the parts washer don't get them 100%....People discard them while updating their kitchens......Oil pan looked amazingly like new.....enjoy..
1 Jeep Rubicon. 1 sweet trail. Two Sarahs that have never done this before. The makings of great content. Little Sarah's comments are icing on the cake. Keep having fun and give us more content. GIVETH THE MEAT BALLS!
Okay, it's official; I'm very addicted to your channel. I find it hard waiting for your next video! As always, just love your video style. You put a ton of effort into making them and it shows. Very artistic. Great camera angles.
Your review has made me miss my old state vehicle (2010 Tahoe that I put close to 5k offroad miles while doing my job). Went through 3 air dams, 2 bumpers, 3 side view mirrors, several mud baths, and numerous rocky mountain pinstripes. As usual, your review was well done!
I'm not a big fan of car reviews, but yours are much apart from everyone else's. I love the "dos Sarahs", the point and counterpoint comes so naturally and as a viewer you guys really pull me in. I also loved the disclosure that you're not experienced rock climbers, which grabbed my attention even more. After the last car review with the truck I find these as interesting as the work episodes and I'm looking forward to the next one. Great job!
Most of the car reviews I've watched in the past have been about American muscle cars. You could do a review of a riding lawn mower and you would have my full attention! I'm glad the reviews are a little easier and we can look forward to a wider variety of content from you.
@@SarahnTuned No offence, but you can clearly see your not enjoying it (wrenching on cars) as much as you used to. The spark you had in your eyes is almost out, might be time for a break before you have a breakdown.
Little Sara's panic faces are the best. Her eyes get so wide! So about staying in two-wheel drive. Off roading like that puts a lot of stress on the rear axle. So it's great fun until you break something.
I did an off road driving course for work and was amazed at the capabilities of a modern 4WD. One thing they teach: as soon as you head off road stick it in 4WD and drop the pressure in your tyres. When you're stuck it's too late.
Loving the dos Sarahs! Keep 'em coming and have lots of fun! :) Also, in my humble opinion, Jeep should do a stripped version of the Rubicon. No carpet, non-power windows/locks, just the locking diffs and base, base, base as far as the options go. Steel rims, and away you go!
Or... Give folks the options of getting the Rubicon axles and transfer case on an entry level JL. I'd sell my left kidney and arm for one! I'd be a funny, lop-sided mofo, but I'd be cruising! :D
Both of you Sarah's are so funny together! Jeeps have always been designed to dominate off road but the introduction of technology has made it easier for the novice to enjoy the experience. Also the improved on road ride and fuel economy are so much better now.💕✌
Had a 5 year old jeep - not the Rubicon - but it could go just about anywhere. Finally sold it when I got tired of the 15 mpg - By the way - Little Sarah - you have a talent for car modeling - On one of the videos you did some poses that would cause jaws to drop in a NY fashion show.
@@SarahnTuned Found out later that the previous owner had put some non-standard stuff on it - I think the newer models get a little better mileage - but most people that buy the Rubicon don't buy it for the the mileage. By the way - keep up the good work - you jump in where angels fear to tread when when it comes to car repair.
Ladies, very impressed with how well you handled your first attempt at OffRoading! I've seen 25 year old Rubicons on the "Rubicon Trail..and complete the whole course! I've attempted Moab in my 2000 Jeep WJ with Heavy duty Suspension, 4" Rough Country lift kit, 33" tires, and it kicked my ass, but came out of there unscathed! My Jeep cost me with all off road essentials... Around $ 5,000 dollars! $50,000 for a new Wrangler Rubicon is crazy! Most of the new Wranglers are " Mall Crawlers" never been off road! Not saying their not capable... but you don't need to spend all that money and still get as good, if not better off roader for for a fraction of the cost of a new Wrangler Rubicon! I'd love to have the both of you on my next off road adventure at the "Poison Spider"!
The Rubicon is an amazing machine. You two Sarah's made it work well in this video. I know you're modest but I drove off road many times and have to say you're driving skills are excellent and would put a lot of other men to shame. Enjoyed the little Sarah's cute humor. Entertaining video.
when you were talking about the window switches, I was about to say it's so you can remove the door but you do bring up a really good point.... who cares about the buttons when the door isn't even there to hold the windows.... touche little sarah.
Great review! You're absolutely right with the tires, those K02s are by far my favorite streetable AT tire out there, they perform well on and off road. 4WD when going down hill is very useful when you toss it in low range and let the front wheels have that engine braking negative torque. Honestly, if I were to get one as an off-road toy, it'd be that 2.0 with the auto, but in a short wheelbase. For the technical stuff (which is what I find the most fun!) an auto really is better, from eliminating human error on the clutch, to torque multiplication, just have to keep the fluid cool. For a bro-dozer, yeah, 6 cylinders, 3 pedals, and a crap ton of overcompensation.
Regarding the icon on the traction control button: I am pretty sure that's legally mandated to be a standard icon in all makes/models of vehicles in the US, regardless of manufacturer. The idea being it's recognizable to everyone no matter what, though unfortunately it kills attention to detail in trucks and SUVs.
All the Jeep models are great off road. And they have great aftermarket support for even more fun. Love the window up and down button quote from lil’ Sarah
The expressions lil Sarah makes!! 😂❤️ 50g’s US for this thing is insane. Maybe 30-35g’s. At most. All that dirt makes my OCD kick in over drive. Thankfully it would never be a personal vehicle. As a rental, sure. 😉 Great to see more vids with lil Sarah! ❤️
Great review, Sarah. Those tires really made a huge difference in how the Jeep did in the soft stuff. Love the scenery and the sound track you put on the video. Lots of good entertainment, to be sure. You two make a peach of a pair! Keep it up.
I have a 2008 Wrangler X on 37s with 5.13 gears. Trouble is I don't live in Arizona anymore. I live in Dallas, Texas, where the only off road trail I can drive on costs $15, requires a state permit and it's 50 miles away.
Thx Sarah's another great test drive ! You may want to rethink the manual transmission, the smother you apply power to the wheels the more traction you will have. That's very hard to do with a manual . Doing the course in 2 wheel driver is a testament to how well the auto hooked up for you. When going off road always remember 2 Sarah's are better than 1 !
A double dose of Sarahs is always a treat. And from what I could see in the video, pretty sure you could have done all of that in your Forester. I've had my Subie in lots of similar situations.
Girls with Jeeps rule! I have a Jeep XJ that is not a pavement princess!! LoL !! Loving the reviews Sarah! Just left Seattle for the week and am in South Carolina at the beach house. I will try and get some footage up of the E550 I’m driving for the week. Your channel is a huge inspiration for me! Thank you!!!
The reason the switches are on the dash is so that when you unplug the connection to the door (when you take them off) there is no power by default to that cable since power would only flow if you activated the switch. If the switch was on the door that cable would have power to the open connector all the time and when you went through water with the doors off...well water and power don't mix..
I realize this is an older video (I'm fairly new to your channel), but here's a tip with the Freedom Panels on a Jeep 4-door. When the panels are off, you can totally control the airflow by lowering the rear windows a couple inches.
Girls that was steep we could see the sky in the back window🤓 Not bad for a first experience of rock crawling! And you've find mud too! Arizona must be in the rain season😆
As a 4runner owner.. the jeep is the king of mountain climbinga, rock crawling, tree jumping, etc straight from dealership.. raptor is the desert running king
You suggested getting the lower end model of Jeep for off-roading, but the thing is that they used a much lighter axle setup for the Sport and that lighter axle setup can’t handle the stress of rock crawling on a set of 32’s let alone the 38’s that some people run
youre right the decent doesnt look that bad from the camera, but when you are showing the video of yourselves, look past the sarahs and notice how steep it is through the rear glass... that was a nice little hill for sure.
You two!!! You have waaaaaay too much fun to get paid for this. (But I am sooooo glad you do) You need to start an additional channel called "Sarah Squared Reviews" I am kinda bummed out, you two are cuter than my Hamster Mobile.
Since you brought up the Stelvio, and how you feel about performance crossovers you should try to find a Stelvio Quadrifoglio to do a review on! It does not have a little 2.0t, it’s much more.
What a fun video. Gosh you are good at editing and picking fun dancey music for these, Sarah. And I still love that there are two of you doing these reviews now- it makes things so much more fun having the two of you together- i love the chemistry there. Wouldn't it be something if you could go out there and dig a pit and fill it with meatballs to drive through?? LOL! Love from Michigan.
Sarah -n- Tuned >>> excellent observation: when you don't have the doors on there's no windows to roll up/down anyway; I agree! Cheep should've just put the window control buttons on the darn doors where they are (ergonomically) expected to be. This alone should be reason enough to deduct (1.5) one and a half meatballs from the final score of the Cheep Rubicon; you've injustly over-rated it in comparison to the Ford Ranger ;-)
I drove a rental 2019 Wrangler V-6 and got 27 mpg between Nashville and Atlanta. I was too tall for it and the window switches were in the same spot, but it was quick at least.
IMO, the Pentastar is the more refined engine. One of the best V6s ever made. It was no question for me. Performance-wise, they're similar despite the V6 being down on torque. Plus, Chrysler managed to keep it competitive WITHOUT direct injection, which means minimal maintenance. The Pentastar in my other car currently has 155k spirited miles and feels/sounds brand new, consumes virtually no oil over 7k mile intervals. The only thing I've had to do was replace the thermostat at 130k. $10 and 10 minutes of my time. Regarding price of the Wrangler, it's really a one-of-a-kind vehicle and the market knows it.. it's the only vehicle that does everything it does (being a convertible SUV/Pickup alone is a huge selling point). Even though you see tons of them every day, it's still one of the most unique vehicles you'll ever drive in your life. I was hooked immediately after driving my sister-in-law's 300k mile raggedy TJ years ago.
The carpet isn’t what it seems though, its super thin, pulls out in multiple sections without removing any other interior and do’s mat have an sort of jute or padding on the back. It just helps cut down on the sound and makes the interior of your $50k Jeep a little nicer.
Charouleau Gap, that's where you need to go if in Tucson. Back side of Lemmon has been kinda washed out up top exposing some decent rock but other than that is just a rock road still. But check out Charouleau Gap, plan to be there for the day and dont go during monsoon season. If your not a fan of heights definitely be driving and going down back side of Lemmon cause you might not like it.
I love seeing little Sarah in the videos. She is hallarious. Her gestures are so cute. Both of you together are great. Both of your personalities are great. Live to see little Sarah.
Sweet ride. Glad little Sarah is along for the ride again! The shit she says is hilarious!
"she doesn't sport much". that was awesome.
Carpet is marine grade and the floor has plugs so you can hose it out :) The carpet is also in sections and not attached, so you can take it out to clean if it gets really dirty.

Keep it up Sarah's!
Your videos are complete with little Sarah. She has an adorable vibe. And your more relaxed when she's around.
The Moab is basically an offroad Sahara. It doesnt have the lockers, sway bar disconnect like the Rubicon.
little Sarah is very funny, she could appear more often in the videos
No
Absolutely.
@@dr_rrichterr Negative ghostrider.
She's adorable, dunno why people feel the need to be so negative.
@@dr_rrichterr Perhaps. All I know is that I never said anything. In fact, I'm not entirely clear on what you think I DID say.
You two together can brighten up anyone's day, and the expressions on you faces when your driving a hilarious .Thanks. Take care both.

Capt. RD I do the car reviews because they’re enjoyable to make and wrenching on cars for the past 15 years is starting to take its toll on me ☹️

Best DUO. Always fun, keep on 4 wheelin'
Needless to say I now look forward to you car reviews. I can see this channel growing very fast in the near future.
Your window up and down button lmaooo #me
Just finished watching your video

"bro dozer" 🤣 pavement princess is another good one, nicely done
First TH-cam car journalist to get it, "if you take the doors off, you don't need the buttons!", thanks you Sarah ^2
Little Sarah with that improved seat belt game!
RabbiTrogdor ya you’re welcome

By the way - Little Sarah - you have a talent for car modeling - On one of the videos you did some poses that would cause jaws to drop in a NY fashion show.
bobby I averaged just under 22mpg with this one (mixed driving) the mild hybrid setup seemed cleaver when I was researching how it functions.

Great to see more vids with lil Sarah! ❤️
A stripped down 2 door, V6, 6 speed manual.. can be had for well under $30K .. and Jeeps have excellent resale value (for some unknown reason??).
Yay! Little Sarah!
I'm with you on the heights...and the commitment and the spiders. Yeah.
Hands down the best review I have ever seen of a jeep.
Great review, Sarah. Those tires really made a huge difference in how the Jeep did in the soft stuff. Love the scenery and the sound track you put on the video. Lots of good entertainment, to be sure. You two make a peach of a pair! Keep it up.
You should totally do an old school truck review. I have my 2wd 97 f150 and I offroad it everyday and it handles it like a 4x4
You should do a review of a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, you could then give it a Beans and Meatballs score.....Guaranteed more beans!
Nice!
We all started with out any experience.
You learn tricks as you go.
It’s all about having fun!
There's a great rock crawling section at the entrance to Chiva falls south loop. Keep it in mind for the next review.
I have a 2008 Wrangler X on 37s with 5.13 gears. Trouble is I don't live in Arizona anymore. I live in Dallas, Texas, where the only off road trail I can drive on costs $15, requires a state permit and it's 50 miles away.
Thx Sarah's another great test drive ! You may want to rethink the manual transmission, the smother you apply power to the wheels the more traction you will have. That's very hard to do with a manual . Doing the course in 2 wheel driver is a testament to how well the auto hooked up for you. When going off road always remember 2 Sarah's are better than 1 !
I might be biased, but this has been my favorite review so far.
A double dose of Sarahs is always a treat. And from what I could see in the video, pretty sure you could have done all of that in your Forester. I've had my Subie in lots of similar situations.
Little Sarah is soo cute.
Very sweet video . . . great duel, yes you're right most drivers never go off road.
So love the Set of Sarahs...
correction: Sarah's LOL
2020 rewatch, with my favorite desert dwelling duo.
Little Sarah's looking super cute in this review!
I've had my JKU Rubicon 2 years. I wheel it twice a month and the only time I got stuck was in hood high snow. My winch is just for looks.
This is an excellent review ladies. Anticipating more videos, with this type of content.
It must be a lot of fun getting to drive so many different cars.
Girls with Jeeps rule! I have a Jeep XJ that is not a pavement princess!! LoL !! Loving the reviews Sarah! Just left Seattle for the week and am in South Carolina at the beach house. I will try and get some footage up of the E550 I’m driving for the week. Your channel is a huge inspiration for me! Thank you!!!
A Bug’s Life - love your XJ. Definitely not a ‘bro dozer’ 😆. Look forward to seeing the Mercedes! Hopefully with top off 😜
A Bug’s Life - nice XJ’s 😇
It's amazing how nice Jeep's are today. I have had Jeep's of old and they were pretty spartan.
I grew up in Kingman Az, northern part of the state, but love those reviews because I get to see me some AZ desert. 👍
glad you girls had fun
Nice to see that you're getting some love from the OEM's. Really enjoy the reviews!
Your comment about getting ejected or hands coming out on a rolling vehicle. Thats probably why Cleetus puts on hand restraints when he drives Leroy.
he's required to by the track/code
You guys are a hoot,sarah is funny.keep these reviews coming.
Another thing is I don't recommend is that you don't try to take the top off at 25mph. Sometimes it will fly away
Such a well made fun video. Brightened up my day. The different simple tests u did were awesome. Take care. Wish you well.
The reason the switches are on the dash is so that when you unplug the connection to the door (when you take them off) there is no power by default to that cable since power would only flow if you activated the switch. If the switch was on the door that cable would have power to the open connector all the time and when you went through water with the doors off...well water and power don't mix..

Next vid, "How to detail your off road rig after a day of wheeling".
You can tell air force folks with the MOAB reference.
Girls that was steep we could see the sky in the back window🤓 Not bad for a first experience of rock crawling! And you've find mud too! Arizona must be in the rain season😆
I love my wrangler and loving the grand Cherokee
As a 4runner owner.. the jeep is the king of mountain climbinga, rock crawling, tree jumping, etc straight from dealership.. raptor is the desert running king
Two times the Sarahs... two times the FUN!!!!
Good honest review showing Jeep capabilities vs previous SUV (oops... truck) review. Video editing has also been very good.
You suggested getting the lower end model of Jeep for off-roading, but the thing is that they used a much lighter axle setup for the Sport and that lighter axle setup can’t handle the stress of rock crawling on a set of 32’s let alone the 38’s that some people run
Little off-road experience, unfamiliar vehicle, first time on this particular road - DAMN THE TORPEDOES, FULL SPEED AHEAD!
the Dos Sarah reviews are awesome.
youre right the decent doesnt look that bad from the camera, but when you are showing the video of yourselves, look past the sarahs and notice how steep it is through the rear glass... that was a nice little hill for sure.

your friends laugh is intoxicating
Anyone else hear Sarah say Hell Descent Control instead of Hill Descent Control? Lol. Great video!
Hehe, that's the southwestern accent. You hear a lot of "pellows/pillows, melk/milk, hell/hill" in New Mexico, too.
Way to complete the paint job! All jeeps should be the base color plus mud!
I drove a rental 2019 Wrangler V-6 and got 27 mpg between Nashville and Atlanta. I was too tall for it and the window switches were in the same spot, but it was quick at least.
Window up and down buttons there in the center so u could up and down the rear windows if the front doors were removed 😉
I have a 19 Ram 1500 with the Off Road Package and only off-roading I did in it was driving slightly off my driveway.
IMO, the Pentastar is the more refined engine. One of the best V6s ever made. It was no question for me. Performance-wise, they're similar despite the V6 being down on torque. Plus, Chrysler managed to keep it competitive WITHOUT direct injection, which means minimal maintenance. The Pentastar in my other car currently has 155k spirited miles and feels/sounds brand new, consumes virtually no oil over 7k mile intervals. The only thing I've had to do was replace the thermostat at 130k. $10 and 10 minutes of my time.
Regarding price of the Wrangler, it's really a one-of-a-kind vehicle and the market knows it.. it's the only vehicle that does everything it does (being a convertible SUV/Pickup alone is a huge selling point). Even though you see tons of them every day, it's still one of the most unique vehicles you'll ever drive in your life. I was hooked immediately after driving my sister-in-law's 300k mile raggedy TJ years ago.
The carpet isn’t what it seems though, its super thin, pulls out in multiple sections without removing any other interior and do’s mat have an sort of jute or padding on the back. It just helps cut down on the sound and makes the interior of your $50k Jeep a little nicer.
Charouleau Gap, that's where you need to go if in Tucson. Back side of Lemmon has been kinda washed out up top exposing some decent rock but other than that is just a rock road still.
But check out Charouleau Gap, plan to be there for the day and dont go during monsoon season. If your not a fan of heights definitely be driving and going down back side of Lemmon cause you might not like it.
Little Sarah is a little cutie.
Now I love you more...finally driving a Jeep Wrangler.
