Fellow AEVJL370 392 owner here...holy sweet baby Jesus, this is the vehicle you'll tell your grandkids about, then you open the garage door and start it up and there is nothing but smiles. Makes no sense but that's what makes it beautiful...the end of an era. Worth the price, yep!

A suspension lift or a body lift will not change the dynamic of the oil pan. The only way it would be able to is if you're referencing the front axle because yes that would be pushed lower but as far as the engine being relocated the engine mounts located on the frame and they are not moved by either of the suspension and or body lift modifications. A lot of people think a body lift is a suspension lift but it's not. The best remedy would be some sort of skid plate. Compared to redoing the oil pan on the hemi inside the frame, I'm willing to bet that its going to take hours to do that where the skid plate could probably be bolted on in 15 to 20 minutes😂 Not to mention if you're off-roading and you break your oil pan judging by where you like to off-road in the video there is a good chance that debris and everything else is going to get inside the engine before you have a chance to power it off😅 Yes, this good place like $200 but they have a tow truck recovery or rig in the middle of nowhere and then the installation cost of the new oil pan. Plus you'll want to buy the skid plate anyway. In the end I would say dollar cost averaging. You are better to wager your bed towards just buying a skid plate😅

Thanks for doing this vid! I'm a 4XE owner(no, don't stop reading!), and I don't think people properly appreciate the experience of a big V8 when it comes to just being a feeling human person. It's an entirely different experience to roar through gears as opposed to "verp-ing" through them. I don't regret my 4xe purchase, but I'm not giving up my Mustang.

This was very helpful. I was hoping someone would make a video about these compression packing cubes. The only thing is you don't pack pants/shorts. Those seem to take up the most room in my suitcase. How many days do you think you could manage if you included jeans and shorts?
@jethroroams3173 Жыл бұрын
I would suggest using one more packing cube, then you could easily do a few days. The jeans and/or shorts would probably need to be in their own cube.

But I can't help but crave the 392 and am sorely tempted. I know it's so much more expensive, but I just love that sound, and the idea that something like this is just never going to be made ever again.

In regard to the suspension. You should upgrade to the 3.5" duel sport. It comes with a high steer kit and a new rear track bar and geometry relocation brackets for the front. My 2010 Rubicon Unlimited was the same way on the high way and was crazy with wind or if a semi came by. But I put the 3.5" on and the Jeep is absolutely planted, body roll was dramatically reduced and those sways from wind at high speed are a thing of the past. Awesome Jeep man, I wish I could get the V8, but I still love my JKU.

@evp3219 Жыл бұрын
There is a third option... Insane, stupid OR have enough money to buy what you want. Generally the people who call other people insane or stupid for spending their money how they want are people who don't have enough money to do the same, it just screams insecurity to make such a comment. And companies like AEV are the back bone of America. By the way and AEV duel sport suspension is like $3000 if you install it yourself. So if one has $100k to drop on a beast Wrangler then another $3-5k for a suspension, that is far superior over stock, probably isn't too big of a deal. Having one of the best Jeeps ever made and supporting an awesome American company sounds like a pretty great way to spend some money.
