- We finally get to hit some good trails with our new 2024 Rubicon X! Merus Adventure Park absolutely did not disappoint!! We took it pretty easy on some of their lighter trails. The Tacoma made it out with some new body modifications and the Gladiator got some trails scars on his rear control arm mounts. Meanwhile our new JL and my dad's 2022 Rubicon made out unscathed! We had a blast on these trails and can't wait to go explore more of the park! The trails you see in this video are only a very small fraction of what the park has to offer! I hope you enjoy the ride! Don't forget to subscribe!! I really appreciate everyone's support!

Hey brother, I also have the same jeep with the extreme recon package. I am curious to know your thoughts with the new 37 inch tires and the 456 gears. Does the gearing work well with the 37s, are you still able to hit 8th gear on the highway , any noticeable fuel economy loss? I am also considering moving up to a 37 inch tire.
So we actually got the 4.88s from the factory just because we were planning on 37s before we bought the Jeep. For us prior to switching the Jeep did great with 35s but the 4.88s were noticeable. It we would hit 8th gear pretty quick. I didn’t mind the way it drove with 35s, but with the 37s it felt a lot better. We maintain 8th pretty easily unless there’s a strong headwind or we’re going uphill. Obviously it’ll be a little worse with 4.56s. Personally if I were you I’d go with 37s unless you drive long distance daily. I mean Jeeps like ours are never going to be great on fuel mileage and the 37s are amazing for hitting the trails. Once you air down it’s amazing how much smoother the 37s are compared to our old 35s. I would also suggest looking for a C range 37 or at least a lighter tire and wheel. It’ll help a ton with power and fuel mileage. I found the stock set up is pretty heavy to begin with. We only added 10lbs per wheel and tire over stock. I think that’s because of the beadlock option on the stock wheels. They’re pretty heavy. Anyway I know that was a long reply but I hope it helped some!
@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms hell yeah the long comment helped. as someone whos looking to grab their FIRST jeep, this is the info that really makes a difference. Hearing and learning from your experience about the way it will maintain 8th gear, airing down the 37 vs 35, wheel and tire combo weights etc REALLY helps out as there's so many different things that contribute to a nice day on the trail
Awesome I’m glad I can help!!
