Will It Rally? This new web series from The Team O'Neil Rally School asks the only car question that really matters: Will it Rally? Ride along as we test the limits of different vehicles on our skidpad and slalom areas, before putting them against the stopwatch on a mountainous rally stage here at Team O'Neil.
In this episode, we're driving a 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon on a beautiful winter day at Team O'Neil HQ in Dalton New Hampshire. While the Rubicon is a popular choice for overlanding and off roading, how will the Jeep JL stack up to some rallycross and rally driving? Sit back, relax, and enjoy the epic quest to find out.. Will it Rally?

@MyLonewolf25 4 года назад

Shannon Lenz they’re quite heavy for their size, top heavy and narrow, small ish wheel base, with decent and short gears. Oh also don’t forget live axels all around The only real saving graces are the tires and locker. Otherwise it’s ALL meant for off-roading under 10-15 mph which seriously compromises any sort of fast rally handling Most sedans of the same size are about 3500 lb compared to the probably 4500-5000 of the jeep. And don’t forget the electronic nannies which fuck everything up when you really want to get sideways and do it controlled (which they thankfully disabled) I bet this thing was TERRIFYINGLY unstable and wanted to wander EVERYWHERE I shudder at the bump steer and axel misalignment alone. due to the stock setup and shit trackbars on these things stock

Summer tires, I would say it's like driving on ice if he wasn't literally driving on ice.

One idea that came to my mind: could you put a forward facing camera to the roof or the bumper, so we could get a feeling of what's actually happening while you drive around? Just put the video in a corner, so it won't take much space from the regular content.

They've mentioned in the past that they're limited to vehicles in their stable but will use private vehicles submitted by their owners. The vehicles will have to have the usual basic safety equipment like seat belts, tires with usable tread, no salvage titles with structural damage, etc. Do you know anyone with one of the vehicles you've mentioned that would be able to drive it out to Team O'Neill for a day of filming?

@sauce729 2 года назад

You can disable both stability and traction control by holding the traction control button for 5 seconds (aka "full off"). Although it will automatically go to "partial off" if you take the vehicle over a threshold speed (which isn't specified in the manual). If the vehicle has off-road+ button this will disable threshold speed, but off-road+ is only available in 4WD Hi and Lo. Off-road+ mode work differently for 4WD Hi and 4WD Lo.

@Jessethetoaster 4 года назад

It does I’ve tried 😁 cool vid

@jameswohler985 4 года назад

Looks like scary fun.

@SSMJ 4 года назад

The best things to do with Jeep Wranglers is to wire a kill switch that disconnects the gyro sensors which then disables the ABS and the traction control or to pay for something like a taser JL which allows you to lock the diffs and turn off stability control completely whenever you want.

@MyLonewolf25 4 года назад

William Cooper they build them for pre runners all the time I bet itd do pretty well if not for the weight I’d definitely 4 link with a wats link in the rear and keep it at stock height or of lifted no more than 2” and DEFINITELY long arm the front with modified twisted arms so the camber change and bump steer isn’t nearly as terrible Not much you can really do about the scrubbing tho A late model ranger with A arms up front would be much more suited Not even getting into fragility concerns and driveline bind with TTB :source: used to own an 87 4x4 RCSB 5 speed

4runners have independent front suspension meaning its better for stuff like rally but the Jeep is better for articulation and extreme offroad situations.

I rented these so want to have a blast in a new Rubicon, go rent one at southern Utah adventure Center and pull the fuses, take it to the sand dunes close by. 200 buck for all day. Be sorta careful they will break. And make sure to put the fuse back. Also if you break anything expect to pay for it. Includes ruining a tire or scuffing the wheels

@chris1293 4 года назад

On a JK you could shut off traction control by pressing and holding the ESC button for something like 6 seconds in 4hi. The dash should then flash “ESC Off”. Maybe works the same on the JL?

@Teamoneilrally 4 года назад

For an AT tire, they're great, especially when they're pretty new and in good condition. Are they as good as a studded winter tire? Obviously not, but they're definitely "good enough" to get around just fine unless it's really icy, or once they're half-worn they can be a little sketchy.
