I Can't Believe I did This in My Stock JL Wrangler! 

I’ve taken my stock JL to an off road park once without even taking air out the tires. It surprised the hell out of me with how well it did.

This makes me mighty proud of my 2019 JL stock princess that I purchased in February. No mods. Yet. 😁 She won’t see much off-roading, but still want the ability for when the mood strikes. Wanting 2-2.5 in lift with 33-34 tires.

I got a JL Willys and I took it on a decent trail straight from the lot without airing down or disconnecting the sway bar and it did amazingly well.

Great video!! I always knew Jeeps can get the job done. However, I will say that after having 3 Jeeps in my life, when and doubt let the air out!!

Rigid lights definitely to be an add on!!! Enjoyed your video! 👍🏻

Where I went with a stock Sahara in Colorado, you would not believe. Tire pressure at 25 lbs. In low lock. Amazing. Take an air pump with you? This was a good test and review for a stock Sport.👍👍😎🇺🇸

I took my 2017 JK Sport 2 Door off road for a couple days through freshly cut forest, mud roads, and rocky trails and it did awesome. Couple puddles got me worried with the Sport stock tires and the fresh cut forest area had me bouncing, but it rocked. Even did it door and topless one day. Although I am putting on 2.5 AEV Lift and KO2 35s now.

This is why I love seeing you both in the videos. Even though you don't try to be funny sometimes it cracks me up! What did it here was when the Jeep was hitting certain bumps it looked like y'all were dancing to a hip hop beat😄😎

"oh boy almost died" 😂😂😂

Got some friends that go there regularly. They said it's just a ground clearance issue on some trails. But stock jeeps can get through just fine

Even without lockers, Jeep has the “brake-lock” diffs and it functions very similar to Toyota’s A-Trac. It’s very effective. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think there’s a way to turn off the Jeep traction control? I’d love to see a comparison of Jeeps traction control versus A-Trac from the Toyota I’m anxious to see how reliable this JL is for y’all. Congrats again on the Jeep. I personally hope you’ll keep the Taco also, but I’m a Toyota guy so I’m biased. Nonetheless, excited for you and the Jeep!

It’s really a trip go rent one I don’t even need to put my foot on the throttle to climb rocks etc 100% control lol just like a toy it’s truly a blast and with a small motor with turbo it does on the track 8.8 seconds on quarter mile on 33 lol fun fun fun

Wow, that Carolina clay is tricky. But what fun! You guys are going to have so much fun with that Jeep. I think taking it out bone stock gives you a good idea about what mods you may want. You’re right. A good benchmark. Motor on bros! Loved the video. 👍

Would there be clearance issues on the easier trails like wolfs den and falls dam for the sport? The only protection I have is rock rails and its my daily driver so I don't want to destroy it.

Even a stock Wrangler does great off road

That’s what I’m gonna do with my 2 door Willys once it’s built

I have a 2016 jeep wrangler sport unlimited. Climbing step hills, depending on the tires you have on your jeep wrangler. Cool.

Just some all terrain or Mud tires would make a huge difference.....great video. Is a wrangler so highly capable!

Real talk, I was mostly concerned about mud getting on Brian's shirt because that shirt is everything, I really like your shirt Brian. Anyhow, awesome vid out in rainy Uwharrie. In my mind I was thinking at moments, please don't tear up your Wrangler as it still has a 30 day temp tag.

Love your videos I have 2018 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport JLU with 2.5 lift kit with 35” mud claw tires!

Great video! Since I’m a jl owner as well, I can totally relate to these Jeep videos and looking forward to many more. As for 35’s on a stock jl they will absolutely fit. The only thing you will have to do is remove that piece that’s between the front fender and bumper since it rubs on it when you turn. Other than that you’re good.

awesome stuff, my JKU has a 3" teraflex lift with 33" k02s and it's perfect for me.

I been wondering if I want a 2020 rubicon or a sport for a overlander, just for visiting state parks, traveling out to western USA, Utah, Colorado, Arizona etc. not a dedicated hardcore off-roader, I think the sport will do me fine!

Took my 2020 JL unlimited off-roading/mudding in some serious mud puddles. Like some looked like they would sink a jeep with one drop off. Bone stock, Michelin street tires, not aired down. Got stuck twice at the beginning but I wiggled her free back and forth. Then I just full sent every hole we hit, never got stuck after that. Hit every hole, sometimes water over my hood, never got stuck. Full throttle everything. Surprised the crap out of me, I tried to find its limit with some serious mudding trails, expecting to get stuck in every hole... she held up. Passed my every expectation

Can use the Crawl control...acts like Toyota's ATRAC by braking the spinning tires and providing more traction to the other tires with grip. Button looks like a Duck. Must be in 4low and in manual mode (automatic).

I ordered a Rubicon a week ago. New to Wrangler world. Don't understand why people buy a sport then spend money and time to modify to get 33" tires and lift couple inches. Why not just buy a Rubicon and get over it? you get 33" tires and more ground clearance in a stock Rubi.

Wrangler stock is for off reading. You can glamorize the Wrangler with larger tires & a lift. That is nice also. But, I think the standard Wrangler is glamorous anyway.

Liked that you tried this test

For a stock jeep it good off-road compared to other trucks

Proud non rubicon JL owner here..✌️ nice video

OEM stock wrangler jl 3.6 etorque 4door sport

2.5 inch AEV and call it done.Add tires to your liking.

I like the style of your content like the way you release videos

That good ol Carolina Clay. I'm happy to see y'all doing this with a bone stock JL. It shows it's capabilities.

Nice, my 2018 Jeep jlu is semi stock atm. I’ve had it for a year and currently has 17100 miles on it. The only mods I’ve done to it so far were change my lights for leds, put some 31 nitto ridge grapplers, and some enhanced rubi rails. Once I get my lift I’m definitely going to uhwarrie. If y’all get the chance go to patriot moutain off-road in Boone, I took my stock wrangler there as soon as I got it and it went well. So much fun on that trail

what trails did you do? I went out there a few weeks ago and did Wolf Den in my pretty stock 16 Ram Rebel.

Air down those tires and you would prolly be good. I know it is kind of a hassle, but it makes a huge difference.

My 2021 Wrangler unlimited is the bomb stock. Besides who needs lockers? Anti slip rear with the brake torque vectoring the jeep will go damn near anywhere.

Don’t forget swaybar link quick disconnects. Having the swaybar disconnected hugely improves off-road comfort and more importantly gives you more traction as you tires are less likely to come off the ground as you move across the terrain. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9-zQjETAHuA.html

My 2024 4xe Willy’s on 33

That was awesome and amazing!! I can’t wait to get my nikola badger electric pickup truck, and take it off Road! Have y’all seen the new all electric lucid air Dream? I want one it so cool

How much are you supposed to air down when doing a trail like this ?

Lift 2 to 3 1/2 lift would be fine depends how big of tires you want. Good luck.

nice job! also going to be reviewing our stock JL soon.

I enjoyed watching your video “I Can't Believe I did This in My Stock JL Wrangler!”. I’m 77 so I forget lots of things but I don’t remember seeing this video before and I don’t understand why I didn’t find it until now. My wife and I lived in Utah from 1982 to 2007 and our son still lives there. We have had several 4WD vehicles. Most of them we bought used but three we bought new were two Isuzu Troopers (1987 & 1989) and a Wrangler (1999). We took them on camping and picnic trips on Utah backroads an average of twice a month from April to October most of those years. Our son has not yet bought a new 4WD but he has two Grand Cherokees (1997 and 2014). If you already have a pickup truck with a receiver hitch (hitch receiver?), would removing the hitch on the Wrangler give you a better angle of departure? Or is it possible that dragging the hitch on rocks doesn’t really hurt anything? When asked “How much money is enough?” one millionaire answered “Just a little bit. More.” I think you will find that same principle holds true with regard to how many 4WD modifications are enough. Be sure to inquire of VERY knowledgeable 4WD technicians (or engineers) about how much you should adjust the driveshaft attachment angles if or when you lift you lift your Wrangler so as to minimize the tendency for the changes in angles to cause more rapid wear of your U-joints (or/and other components) and vibration. If you ask someone who doesn’t understand the question, you are asking the wrong person. I was able to devise a way to disconnect the rear sway bar on our ‘99 Wrangler so it could be reconnected when we drove it on pavement. Each of those procedures required crawling under the vehicle but each only took a few minutes. We never disconnected the sway bar except when the roads were dry. The roads were seldom wet when we got back to pavement but I did leave the sway bar disconnected a few times on pavement - only at moderate speeds and not for very far. There are people who would like nothing more than to close all unpaved public roads on public land. They have an advantage because most of the members of Congress have no concept of how unpaved roads can be used without causing ecological or esthetic damage. If you would like to help the people who are trying to keep unpaved roads on public land open to the public, there is nothing easier or more effective to do than to resist the temptation to refer to what you do on unpaved roads as “off-roading”. For many centuries, the word “road” in English was a reference to a route that had been used and reused by full-size vehicles. And “full-size” was a reference to vehicles with a minimum track of 4 feet 8-1/2 inches - the average distance between the hoofprints of the left horse and the right horse of a two-horse team. It was the distance between the left and right wheels of most of the Egyptian and Roman chariots when those countries were dominant political powers and it was the distance between the left wheels and right wheels of the Conestoga wagons used in the United States and Canada during the late eighteenth century and most of the nineteenth century. One of the 49ers described the road his party was traveling as “comprised of equal parts of mud and boulders”. Yes, that was a road, in spite of efforts by late-twentieth-century politicians to redefine that word. When you are tempted to refer to a road as a “trail”, please consider, instead, using such terms as “backroad”, “unpaved road”, “unimproved road”, “primitive road” “dirt road”, “gravel road” or “rocky road”. Don’t give the killjoys an excuse to refer to an area with unpaved roads as “roadless”. Most members of Congress simply don’t know any better!

Where in NC is this ?

Which trim is this? Big difference between a Sport and a Willys even, but I'd like to know!

My stock F250 with A/T tires could do that all day. I hope the Jeep could lol

dam! I wanna do this too!

Took my JLUR off-road a few times completely stock. Rocky hilly trails. Stock 33 inch KO2s, bottomed a few times in the rocks. The stock JL Sahara that followed me, bottomed a few more times and really had to pick his lines, but did fine. I now have a 2 inch Mopar lift which ended up being over 3” of lift. Didn’t even bottom once on a super rocky trail. 35s coming soon

Put better A/T tires on that Jeep and retry it.

Not sure if I missed it in the video but what PSI were y'all running? *Edit - congrats on almost hitting 200K

Amazing

Turn traction off and floor it in 4hi

What number are the wheels? 37

Always 4-LO, always

I have a tj but it isn’t stock

where do you want to go with these tires ???

On Jan 11th I ordered a Rubicon. It’s on a truck to the dealership today (Jan 29th). I don’t understand why you wouldn’t get a Rubicon rather than a cheaper version, then end up spending just as much or more rather than just getting gearing, tires, and lockers from the factory

You need tires

👍👍🔥👊 can’t wait for the build. Lift tires etc 👍

On 4 low you lose limited slip capabilities

embarrassing, I was looking at getting a Jeep Ultimate. But No more

4h is how you break things at low speeds. You'll also destroy your transmission with 35's on a factory wrangler. The gearing isn't designed for that.

how i can make more than 1 like !

You wouldn't believe what I drive through with an old cheap stock $5k 2006 bmw x5, where people spend thousands to get a wrangler. I dont get jeep cult members. Either get a jee and make it truly offroad or dont bother getting one.

perhaps the most non-synaptic capable persons to use a 4x4

I think the mod you guys need is found in the gym

Frist

I will say that is some awful wheeling up that hill. Painful to watch. Glad you FINALLY got it. Stock or not. 2016 JKU manual, 2.5 Teraflex, 34 Nitto Ridge G's. Wrangler owner since 1994. Have fun.

Second

Glad you guys are having a blast I say 35s and 3.5 inch complete lift with control arms will suit you well. At least one locker and regear, bumpers and maybe tube fenders and shes done!

I just took my stock JL 1st time after a blizzard. It was so fun. Very impressed. ❄️❄️❄️❄️⛄️🇺🇸

That isn’t off-roading you went down a dirt road. Looks like my driveway. Get better tires and go off-road

Stock in mud bro but Jeep is really comfortable for adventures like in mountian 💖

I have the 2024 4xe Willy’s it’s a awesome vehicle and a blast to drive on road and exiting off road and this time I packed no gas fans truly amazing great job Jeep

Very enjoyable - good editing and comment. Keep it up

Wouldnt some basic AT tires have helped it get up the hill easier?

Insane 😂💯
