Replace the Fiat diesel with a Mercedes Benz diesel. Replace front and rear Dana 44’s with Currie Rockjock full width 60’s, complete with Eaton e lockers and 4.56 gear set. Replace the ZF slushbox with a tremec tr4050 and an atlas II transfercase. Full Clayton off-road triangulated 4 link rear and 3 link front. King triple rate bypass reservoir coil overs, and anti rock sway bars. These are the mods that I believe you should do to your Jeep, or could have paid someone to do to a TJ for less than the ostentatious sticker price for the Jeep that you just bought. P.s. if all you are after is content then you should have definitely gotten a 392 motor, a lot more exciting than a sleepy Italian peanut oil furnace.

i got the 3.6 with the 6 speed and im getting 20 mpg on my daily commute. the last trip i took i was pulling a trailer and i also got about 20 mpg on that as well. cant wait to see what the empty highway mpg is. I am absolutely not a jeep person , i have always owned 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks. but i bought the wife a jeep because she's always wanted one. i thought they were bad on gas and cramped. Well i've been driving it for a few weeks while i wait for my new custom ordered truck to show up and i'm pleasantly surprised with it. It does drive like a car and it gets better mpg than i ever thought it would. i'm glad i didn't pay extra for the diesel , there are reported issues if your commute is to short and you don't get them out on the highway to clear them out, it needs to be ran at operating temp for long periods of time occasionally to clear out the emissions equipment. On top of that the new required emissions equipment costs an arm and a leg when it inevitably fails. and it will fail. and all the money you think you saved in fuel just went to extra maintenance , repair , and shop costs. unless you drive commercially or commute insane distances for work diesels dont make sense anymore. My opinion on this subject would be 100% reversed if it wasn't for the federal government ruining diesel with all the required emissions BS. other than that i am a believer that diesels are inherently superior by fundamental design.

[@beefwantko7269]

obviously you havent owned the 3.6 for very long. they dont get 20 mpg. your talking about a 3.6 L V-6 that produces 215 HP at the wheel, pulling a 5500 pound monster.. and the moment you put bigger tires on it it will drop drastically, and you add a all the mods, you add another 1000 pounds, then your getting under 14 mpg more like 12. and its gutless, the fack of the matter is they should offer it with a 5.7L hemi, and it would get better MPG or at least the same.. but it would have 150 more ft pounds of torque, and you could actually pass people going up a hill, or toe a golf cart or a small box of rocks.. theres a reason that most small v-6s are now turbo or supercharged, in most cases you gain massive ammounts of power, and it increases your overall fuel economy. But I agree, the U.S's regulations on diesel vehicles is abhorrent and it makes auto manufactures want to stear clear from making some really fun small diesel trucks and suvs, which would be great. my thought on the matter is that our country is so massive, and the sheer ammount of diesel that is used just in transportation.. being diesel electric trains, or all the commercial rigs on the road, they dont want every day drivers having diesels the supply for it couldnt be met, but moving people over to EVs or any number of hybrids keeps diesel in the trucks and trains that bring us all our crap we order online because were to lazy to go out and get it ourselfs

[@TheDaltonmichaels]

@Bryce Witkowoski you dont have to belive me , but the Jeep I had with 33s leveling kit , steel bumpers front and rear was honestly getting 17-18mpg daily in town. But it was a very unique jeep. For one it was practically a base model. But it was also a manual and because it was a manual it was geared lower from the factory than the autos were. The thing was good. Since that original comment I sold it and bought my wife a limited 4runner. Manly for reliability. It gets slightly worse mpg than the jeep did which I blame on the all time 4wd and Auto trans. But it should be a superior vehicle to own long term with reliability as a factor.

I have the ecodiesel.. havent figured out how to drive at highway speeds when off road and the exhaust filter needs a regeneration.

[@mikesievers1482]

After market DEF fluid ? ..I hope you didn't believe the dealer when they told you that. Basically all DEF fluid is after market. Mopar doesn't make their own DEF fluid, iits made by the same company that make's at least 60% of what's on the market, and is manufactured under stricked American guidelines. Three of the four brands we sell are made by the same company.. just with different branding. Basically DEF is just urea and water, so not too much to go wrong there.

[@BrooklynNY1979]

@@babasan5411 you are right to worry about Italian made engines, but thankfully Jeepnis just Italian owned. It's production and design is all American from Ohio.

[@PewLand]

​@@BrooklynNY1979except that the 3.0 eco diesel is an Italian engine designed by vm motori in italy 😂

[@timolheiser7874]

In Canada the diesel oil change is $450.00 according to Casey 250. So just wait till you have to pay for that. I pay $30 for my Gladiator Rubicon oil change. So that alone offsets the gas mileage loss.

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

Not to mention diesel is more expensive, there is no savings

[@timolheiser7874]

I hope the gas mileage savings will offset the maintenance costs. But the vehicle is a big Lego. So many mods not enough paycheck.

[@gregroshon1970]

We have the Gladiator with the ecodiesel. 3 months now, and love everything about it!

[@coltonhawk4808]

Did you factory order it or just pick it up from a lot?

[@howellsgym5563]

I had mopar lift on my jl rubicon and it was trouble. Crappy ride and front all over the road. I even had fox steering stabilizer. 500.00 up grade and didn’t help. Sold the Jeep

[@comelytravel]

I love this Jeep, I pray who ever sees this be successful in life 💖❤️

[@RajveerSingh-pb6bn]

No you don't

[@Doransdomain]

I'm surprised you picked a jeep for a "ideal" vehicle. I get that it's diesel, but you could have explored other vehicles that have a diesel engine. Also question I noticed your engaged when you getting married, and having kids??

[@LarryRichelli]

Hello, it sounds like you ordered your jeep. so how long did it take after you ordered it. Thanks

[@v8felon]

Lol she doesn't let you borrow it cause she knows your gonna break it🤣. ENJOY YOUR JEEP WRANGLER 2020 ECODIESEL GIRL!

[@papatacomoto]

So what was the 6k mistake?

[@semiauto3148]

Yeah. I guess it was the engine ?

[@papatacomoto]

@@semiauto3148 must be, didnt really explain it

[@xanderunderwoods3363]

The engagement

[@profuse007]

That loaded Rubicon is about $60K OTD ... WOWOWOW!!!!!

[@bloomfieldgriller2957]

Mine was $64k. Very happy I spent it. Vehicle with the lowest depreciation relative to new value over five years in the U.S. market. That tells a lot of the story.

[@joelbradley9543]

only regrets were not checking to see what was going on in town before going all the way there?

[@maddrummerhef]

Eco diesel is definitely best MPG but both the 392 and 4xe have more torque. And the 4xe is almost instant at any time with the hybrid mode running

[@michaelfontaine9988]

The Eco- diesel peak torque is at 500 RPMs above idle. The peak low-end torque of the diesel is a lot better than the 392

[@rozhandropolster4392]

I love that car oh and question:why were you running in the beginning?😂

[@robk9685]

Running to the car before the repo man gets to it.

[@halamadrid0709]

Jeep Owners: 1 month review on an new Wrangler. Runs great, highly recommend best rig in the market Toyota Tacomas with 300K+ miles, zero leaks, zero repairs needed: Am I a joke to you?

[@smarterthanyou2674]

Tacoma’s are dinosaurs now with cramped cabins and nowhere near enough power

[@ScottChristiezone]

Tacoma isn't what they used to be. He has to make videos for the write off. No one will watch a Tacoma video

[@jerrybizzle22]

Have a 2019 rubicon and you’ll love it. Leavenworth is an awesome place as well. Went there in 2018.

[@resistthesystem6145]

Wanted the diesel, but wanted a manual... needless to say I purchased a V6 Mojave Gladiator.

[@timjackson8015]

Two thumbs up jeep looks unbelievably good just one comment about the motor I have nothing but diesel trucks the diesel motor is going to outlast the V6 you talked about towards the end of the video you have the power now from a new motor which is going to be exactly the same and 300 400,000 miles we should be a lot more easier when you talk about diesel diesel motor good luck

[@newclothes8165]

This is the guy who said he paid 20k extra for factory jeep upgrades. LOL

[@leadnsteel1428]

I have a 2016 Chevy Colorado 2.8 inline 4 diesel and i love that... although i wish it was a v6 diesel cause the 4 cylinder was slow... but I have an engine and transmission tune on it now and it's alot better :)

[@colinwilmes8318]

I love Leavenworth WA! It is my favorite place to visit around Christmas.

[@DieselJLUx2]

You didn’t even get paint matched top or fenders, leather, optional hard top headliners, towing group, steel bumper group, rock slider with step assist… just what I saw in the first 45 seconds. Fully loaded?… don’t think so. You got a base Rubicon with the eco diesel and advanced safety group. Sorry to bust your balls but come on man. You didn’t check off hardly any boxes. Also, the 8.4” display isn’t optional on the Rubicon. It’s standard.

[@scardaoni1]

$400 oil changes and if you do a little research the Italian made diesel doesn’t have a very good reputation🤮🇨🇦3.6 L 👍

[@robertsepulveda2229]

Yeah... that’s a fiat diesel. Not known for their reliability. I’d prefer the old 4.0 inline 6

[@scardaoni1]

Robert Sepulveda In-line sixes do seem to be making a come back we can only hope😀🇨🇦

[@FRWD_FXLRST]

The 3.6L doesn't have a great reputation either.

[@Jrbettis]

always wanted to fall out of a Jeep and muddin' in da snow!

[@adamb360]

Leavenworths is such a cool little town. Haven't been there in years but use to stop in there when going to eastern washington when I was younger

[@ML-ws6ce]

"Get the ring first before....." is a pretty good advice 😂😂✌🏻stay safe all together

[@24KFLOWERS]

I like ur trailer. May I know what brand is it?

[@frh-freerangehuman]

Im not a 'Jeep Guy' but I definitely appreciate them, and in fact I just bought a Bronco Sport Badlands edition (my first ever 4 wheel capable vehicle (and it really is capable). But I find myself smiling all through your videos. You guys are going to have a ton of fun in your jeep, can't wait to see the journey :) Best of luck to you both.
