Out at the 2018 Moab Easter Jeep Safari, Cindy and I got a chance to see some of the cool new products that EVO Manufacturing had installed on their Jeep JL Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited. These parts include their all new JL Wrangler bolt on coil over kit that offers a whopping 15.5" of vertical travel, super clean long arm kit complete with high clearance brackets, redesigned rocker guards and front bumper that allows for the installation of a WARN Zeon 10 installed down between the frame rails. In this episode of the JL JOURNAL, you get to see these new products up close and learn more about them from Mel Wade himself. We hope you enjoy.

This guy Mel, seems like a really super cool guy! It’s awesome to see someone that really loves what they do. Very refreshing.

@wayalife 5 лет назад

Oh yeah, we've known Mel for a long time and he's one of the few people in this industry that really knows his stuff and mainly because of his love for it.

@MOTOWNN 6 лет назад

Even better than how fast the aftermarket is producing parts is how well they are refined!

@wayalife 6 лет назад

It really is amazing at how fast everything is coming out and how nice everything is.

@mariodesmo 6 лет назад

I really like how the new control arm locations/brackets are up along side the frame and not below it. Would like to see how it climbs up loose, rocky, bumpy hill climbs. The DIY part is great! Love what I saw!

Sold my 97 TJ with a Rubicon express 4” long arm lift a couple yrs ago after loving it for 15 yrs.. These new JL’s have the Jeep itch back. And just loving the looks of this EVO long arm lift.

@Zukefly 6 лет назад

That flex is just GORGEOUS! The JL will certainly be a force to be reckoned with when they start hitting the trails in numbers

Mel has done an excellent job engineering some great upgrade components for the JL! And in a relatively short period too! Can't ever go wrong with EVO upgrades! (No, I'm not affiliated with EVO) Thanks for sharing Eddie, Mel & Cindy!

@SirWolfattude 6 лет назад

Hi Eddie thanks for the video if possible and you are around the jeep people again perhaps you could do something on the jeep performance parts there are offering for the JL, TFL did one but they are not as good as you , I know you are a rock crawling family , but nobody gets in depth as well as you guys do and keep the videos coming, you are my favorite off-road channel.

@wayalife 6 лет назад

LOL!! We appreciate you saying as much and while we do personally know a few of the engineers at Jeep, I don't think their marketing guys know we even exist.

@bobfish3176 6 лет назад

The JL has some resemblance to the concept vehicle Jeep Shortcut, but I wish they would of used Shortcut style tail lights. Such a good looking rear end it has :) Maybe one day Mopar will manufacture and sell them tail lights!!!

@newellrobinson9072 6 лет назад

Eddie, With the JL Experience coming down the pipeline at sometime in the future are you planning on joining them and doing video coverage? I enjoyed the ones you did of previous jk experiences. Your's were more in depth than the few after you stopped. Just wondering!!!

@wayalife 6 лет назад

We're glad to hear you enjoyed our coverage of the old JKX. We'll have to consider future trips with our JL.

@ryanspeaker3103 5 лет назад

I wonder how much this exact suspension setup costs? If I wanted to make this happen how much money do I have to throw at my JLUR?

@YFZMoto 6 лет назад

I wish I had not bought My 2015 JK now dang, but I have it payed for so it's the only plus. I love a lot of the new stuff on the JL. Does he still have the stock V6 in the JL? sounds Great.

@wayalife 6 лет назад

Yup, stock 3.6L motor and without any mods to it.

@AV8R_1 6 лет назад

Awesome Mel!! So to get all this done on a JL Rubi, how much? Do you have to swap drive shafts with this lift?

@wayalife 6 лет назад

While he didn't have time to have one made before coming out to Moab, a new front shaft is something you'd want if only because the amount of droop you get from this kit is massive.

@SandhillGuitar 6 лет назад

What did he do to the rear bumper and tire carrier? Awesome looking setup, too!

@wayalife 6 лет назад

A rear facia was installed to just cover the rear cross member. Spare is mounted to the tailgate.

Are these the KMC Machetes with 3.5" BS? I'm trying to dial in what backspacing to use with my JL build, and the wheel/ tire size setup used on this rig seem spot on.

Yes, KMC Machetes have 3.5" of back spacing.

@billybastar4022 5 лет назад

Another awesome video! How would this as a daily driver?

@wayalife 5 лет назад

It's actually a great daily driver :)

@billybastar4022 5 лет назад

The EVO rig? I always thought your setup was a nice mix yielding a great combo ride. Also, did you switch your suspension from the Rancho to the Dynatrac? How do you like it? My next bank account drain will be suspension upgrade on a JLU S. Trying to optimize for daily use with overlanding and minor crawling.

@beccabenz8 6 лет назад

Eddie, Mel sounds like this kit is ready to go. Did he say when we will be able to buy it? Do you think it rides even better than the JK version?

@wayalife 6 лет назад

He said they are in production now. Not sure when they'll be shipping though. Also, it's MUCH nicer than the JK bolt on coilover kit.

@nitroxide17 6 лет назад

Mercaaaaaaaaa

@xzerbaluyot9994 5 лет назад

So Mel mentioned that this can be pieced together starting from a budget boosed to this long arm kit. So my question is, where would I start (at what point in the budget boose) would you recommend? I will be running 37's.

@wayalife 5 лет назад

I guess it all depends on what kind of budget you have to work with and how far you'd like to go with things. If you're ultimately wanting to go long arms, you might want to just start off with the coil spacers or if you can afford it, new lift coils. Probably try to get by with your factory control arms or at most, install their drop brackets if you feel the need for them. From there, you just keep added on to it.

@nicolaskabsy7007 4 года назад

What was the item in the tail hitch? I know it’s to protect the tire getting caught when dropping off a shelf, but don’t know where to find something like that! Would really appreciate it if anyone could let me know!

@wayalife 4 года назад

It was custom made.

@vasilbakuradze9280 6 лет назад

maybe for somebody it will sound stupid but here is one question: what about recentering the axles, i mean the edgastable track bars or relocating bracets or drop pitman arm?

@wayalife 6 лет назад

The rear has a track bar relocation bracket installed. The steering geometry up front is being worked on.

@bryanviezcas4432 6 лет назад

Jeeezzzzzzzzz

@scottfield2289 Год назад

so a long arm kit vs a regular kit. both coilovers. how much more travel for the long arm kit.

@wayalife Год назад

None. Your coilovers will be the sole determining factor as to how much travel you have. The ONLY reason to install long arms is to correct suspension geometry after installing a tall lift. This will help improve ride quality on pavement and when bombing across the desert.

@rkuehner1012 2 года назад

Where do you get those large EVO decals?

@wayalife 2 года назад

@sheepgamer6472 6 лет назад

Can you link the specific coil over kit he’s running there? I went to his website and there’s so many options.

@wayalife 6 лет назад

I don't think it's available for the JL as of yet. It should be coming out soon.

@sheepgamer6472 6 лет назад

Wayalife thanks amigo!

@jarvis2101 6 лет назад

Are they going to bring the new coil overs to the jk kits?

@wayalife 6 лет назад

More like the JK kits were brought over to the JL. Due to the changes in design, changes were made to them to make it work.

@tousyt7545 4 года назад

interested in your EVO MFG 3″ Double D Bolt On Long Arm Kit JK/JKU SKU: EVO-1084-35. WHY ON EARTH IS THE FRONT LONG CONTROL ARM BOLTED TO THE FRAME MOUNT IN A VERTICAL BOLTING AXIS? THIS EXTREMELY LIMITS FLEX & PROVIDES MAJOR BINDING? I've looked for pics online & video to confirm this configuration & it totally against the travel plan of the axle & lower control arms The rest of your kit looks great ! except for this major WTF on the Top Control arm mount???? Please help explain this & any possible correction or reconfigured of the top mount to get the mounting bolts on the same axis plane as the lower control arm mounting point bolts!

@wayalife 4 года назад

LOL - It's funny how you try and talk like you know what you're talking about but really don't have a clue. I already responded to you on this video but really, why not just call them up or send them an email. I doubt they'll see your ranting here on our video.

@tousyt7545 4 года назад

WHY ON EARTH IS THE FRONT LONG CONTROL ARM BOLTED TO THE FRAME MOUNT IN A VERTICAL BOLTING AXIS? THIS EXTREMELY LIMITS FLEX & PROVIDES MAJOR BINDING?

@wayalife 4 года назад

Are you referring to the front upper control arms? If so, the joint on that end is a uniball and it has a HIGH degree of rotation and does NOT bind at a full flex. In fact, I don't know of any other bolt on coil over kit that yields as much articulations as this kit. But, you're free to believe what you want. :)

@Vodafone16v 6 лет назад

So the tailgate on the JL will hold the 37" tire no problem?

@wayalife 6 лет назад

It is critical that you extend the rubber isolators so that they press firmly against the sidewall of the spare and mitigate jiggling. You also need to take steps to help prevent the spare from catching on ledges or obstacles as that WILL cause tailgate damage. If you do that, a 37 can be carried.
