JEEP WRANGLER on the Highway!!! How BAD is it?????

[@fursio08]

I got a stock 2014 jeep sport s, and drives like a champ, got two kids and is big enough.

Blacked Out Jeep Wrangler Good video for those considering buying a jeep. You really need to know what you're getting into if you're not a real fan of jeeps and understand what they are truly made for. I love my 2012 JK. It's awesome to me. I drove it from Ohio to Kansas and back to see my daughter and it was comfortable to me,(my wife is another story). If you're looking for luxury, look elsewhere.

[@Nwy9r]

Can the sport has an automatic shifter?

[@spec24]

What size tires? That's going to make a difference.I can get a stock Wrangler with 28's or a stock Wrangler with 32's. The 32's are going to ride worse than the 28s.

Always wanted a Jeep since the time I was able to identify which vehicles I loved.

Lol, I am determined to purchase my Jeep either when I have a stable career or during my midlife crisis

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Jade Terlaje hey. It’s awesome to see the love you have for Jeep. You will get there. Trust me. In the meantime keep aiming and preparing on how you want it looking once you get it. How many more years till you complete all education?

[@jadelaurenpt]

Thanks for the response, man. I have about 2 more years of school plus a 4 year internship. I have a question: do you have experience with soft tops? Where I currently live, it's typically 80 degrees F (I live on an island) and I drive over lots of off-roading areas - so I was thinking a soft top would be practical? But when I relocate stateside, which would you say is more reliable?

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Jade Terlaje oh so still some time to go. No worries. I love my hard top. You get less issues like air leakage or water leaking. Also it’s quieter inside. The soft top is easier to remove. I know people that own dual for all summer long and put the hard top on during cooler or wetter months.

Tire noise will depend on what type of tire you have, size, and tread wear. Tire pressure can affect road noise, but not so much a 5 psi difference. I'll notice a change in noise or handling when I go from 35 psi down to 20 psi. Obviously, 35" mud terrains will make more humming noise than a stock size all season tire. Also, how often do you let go of the steering wheel while driving? There are at least a few reasons why it would handle differently, or have a pull to the left or right, if at all. The lift kit, wheel offset, tire size, etc. It can vary from one Jeep setup to the next. The 4-door Wrangler will drive better than a 2-door on the highway, and the length of the vehicle is a reason. Quite often, I have customers with like new lifted Jeep Wranglers and 35" mud terrains come in complaining of a steering wheel shake, vibrations, or wheel bearing noise. We balance the tires for them at their request, but then explain to them that it's really just the size and type of tire they have. For me personally, all of the above is no bother. There are certain things you must be willing to put up with if you want to own a lifted Wrangler with some aggressive looking tires.

[@rness4135]

Thanks! I just got a lift kit on my JKU and it feels like I have no control especially around curves. Are you telling me that this is normal?

[@joshyanez5458]

I installed my own 35s and balanced them myself, i have a 2.5 in lift as well. i had steering wobble the first go after balancing. the most common issue when balancing tires is center the tire on the machine so that your truely get the best balance possible. you can balance a tire and it says balance and it not be due to centering, most tire shops dont know this or are inexperience, needless to say second time i made sure they were centered and what do you know no steering wobble

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Josh Yanez appreciate the feedback man. Will look into that

[@moro1112]

Go to a truck stop, the machines are bigger to accommodate a larger tire.

[@scottalmeida]

As a Jeep owner, you nailed it. I had a Chevy Avalanche that drove like a Cadillac, the Jeep is not a cruising vehicle, but still fun as hell to drive. I do love the responsiveness of the steering and brakes.

Good Monday Morning. I reside in TX, but have a place just east of Parry Sound and we drive in our 2015 JKU twice a year. I put about 3500 miles on it each way. We drive since we have four big dogs and I like having them with me. I have had no issues on the road. I still have stock tires and suspension. I will be upgrading to a 2.5" Flex lift with 35 Toyo RTs soon. I am hopeful that the MPG don't deteriorate too much, but right now I get about 22 MPG driving 72 MPH on the highway to Canada. On my daily drive, I have a combo of highway and city streets and am averaging 18 MPG. I LOVE my Jeep. It is great as a daily driver and as a fun vehicle.

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Bruce Morrice hey thanks for sharing this awesome story. That's a long drive but I'm sure it's super fun with the jeep. The upgrades sound awesome. Will look really good but also hope it doesn't kill you on gas as well. I guess tree lightly and use cruise control when you can :)

[@SeriMoSway]

I own one and I will be honest with you. Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited (2010) 4 inch lift and 35's. Light bar, spotlights, haloes, all the gizmos and gadgets and fixtures. Beastly. Beautiful vehicle. Great in the city, around town, or a Sunday jaunt in the country. Definitely awesome off road. On the highway - Very, extremely touchy and sensitive. NOT made for wind, rain, road construction or wind shear off of semis or large industrial vehicles. Terrible for long haul, cross country trips. Noisy, bumpy, road walks, fishtails and will try to kill you. It WILL let you know the types of roads it does not like. My mechanic goes over it with a fine tooth comb at least three times a year. Everything may be perfect on it BUT...like a motorcycle, it comes with its own warning label. Best to put regular tires on for long trips and don't lift it more than 1.5 or 2 inches. I love my Jeep, but it has been retired from cross country trips. They are and can be dangerous when they are fully modified. I'm in Texas, so the roads suck anyway, especially between San Antonio and the Louisiana state line. It's a grueling, hard, stressful, scary, white knuckle drive. I fully encourage the Jeep enthusiast, but don't fully modify it, especially if you drive across the country more than once a year. Modified the way they are, they are not great for highway travel. Love your Jeep, but don't spoil it. It will still be beautiful and beastly without being fully modified.

My Jeep does really well on the freeway, but I've done fairly short trips on the highway since buying it in Jan 2018. It would be interesting to see how it does on ultra-long road trips like this.

i have 16' Rubicon JKU, aev 3.5" lift, teraflex HD front track bar. toyo m/t 35's. i can go 120kms with no steering wheel wobble and it tracks straight. wind will be noticeable. its a Jeep Wrangler it drives like a donkey but i love it.

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Vince lauf haha best I have ever heard it being called... a donkey lol. I'm concerned if it needs a tire balancing. I've already done a laser alignment through the dealership

[@Peashoot88]

you can recheck the tire balance and make sure the wheel weights are still in place. but i believe it could be the lift kit you are running to be the suspect, from track bar relocation bracket to drop pitman arm. unfortunately you get what you pay for. and sometimes its a hard and costly lesson. when i build my kit i started with the aev 3.5" dual sport then upgraded the front and rear track bars, HD tie rod,adj lower control arms. do you have aftermarket steering stabilizer? that might help (but could be just a band aid fix) could also be wheel bearing, alignment issue. check those

[@thecarjunkie3609]

[@golferpro1241]

My Jeep is a 2016 JKU stock with K02’s rides perfect. Not noisy, 66,500 miles on it.

[@crechio]

Mine is funny, I upgraded to a wider tire (305/60/18) from my stock 2008 Sahara 2-door tires (255/70/18) The 305's are just about the same height as the 255"s (about 32 inches tall). But since doing this, I get that slight steering wheel shimmy that you showed on the highway in your steering wheel, but I only get it at 50 MPH. At 45 MPH it goes away, and at 55 MPH it goes away. I just think this is very strange. The 305's are only about an inch wider than the stock 255"s. (10 inches verses about 11 inches.) Great jeep and great video's.

i honestly haven't felt the need to regear, there was some rubbing, mostly in the rear there's a small lip that I eneded up cutting off, and in the front I spaced the wheels out just to clear the bottom of the frame when turning. but other than that its been really nice so far.

Great video for people looking into getting their first Jeep! I know you've probably gotten a ton of advise on this already but I would look into having the tires rebalanced for the steering shake. If not that then alignment would be next on my list, after that if you still have it look into steering components and their geometry. Keep the vids coming man!

I just bought one. I have a 2 door 2015 all black freedom wrangler . Looks perfect and it drives like it's constantly windy outside, even when it's not. Love the looks , but Hate driving it. I avoid the highway like the plague. I really regret buying it. It looks very nice tho. . I've has it for 2 weeks and have barely driven it. I can deal with the rough ride, but not driving the interstate is truly the last downfall for me . Totally disappointed. I put a stabilizer on it and it made it a little better. I even thought of trying to get it back to stock. I want be off roading with it. So the lift and tires look nice, but I prefer an old boring ride where I feel stable on the highway. Any way to fix it? I took it to a shop that specifically specializes in Jeeps and was told.. it's a Jeep and this is how it normally drives:

[@pimpmyride7278]

Mine doesn't do that. I have 33's crosswinds tires on 20's. The steering hasn't been tight since day one time tho. It doesn't shake tho. It's just not right like my Challenger! I love it tho!

Zachary Garner oh wow. All the best. They are super fun and cool

[@srkn100]

The only reason I believe the steering shakes is because you got mud terrains..when i upgraded to 35s i went with all terrains and they are awesome on road no doubt about that..i had stock mud terrains and hated them

[@thecarjunkie3609]

srkn100 hey man. Thanks for that insight

[@RockyXTV]

It's not so much mud terrains being the issue, they will make more noise and vibrate but not really cause the steering wobble. The wobble is most of the time an out of balance tire, most tire shops don't have a lot of experience balancing large tires, so they tend to get it wrong or close to balanced. The next most common cause is alignment, toe to be more specific for lifted rigs. I've ran everything from A/S, A/T, M/T, Bias, Directional and snow tires. Wobble is usually not from the tire (Unless it's a bad or poorly manufactured tire) it's usually the balance of the wheel & tire, alignment, and in some cases steering components and their geometry after a lift.

[@thecarjunkie3609]

srkn100 well said. I'm thinking of getting a proper tire balance to see if that fixes the steering wobble more.

Hi I've been doing some research on jeeps and I found your channel to be the most helpful out of all the jeep related channels on youtube. I'm wondering if I should go for a little more expensive lift kit. Is the rough country lift good enough. Should I save my money and go with it. What are the bad things about the rough country.

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Brenden Kozak I really appreciate the feedback. Rough country is known to sag after a bit. I bought the series 2 so hoping there are improvements. I just got this kit 2 months back so will be doing a review in about 4-6 months seeing if it actually sagged. I measure the height in the initial video. So I mean, it's one of the most affordable kits out there if you are on a budget and it's super smooth but doesn't have the best of reviews on forums.

[@iLLWiLLx21]

I sometimes drive my friend’s 4 door 2020 rubicon and it feels like it would tip over on highway curves if I go above 70. Scares the hell out of me. Ok for her since she doesn’t go above 60

[@txrebel3620]

[@foote1967]

that vibration in the steering wheel looks like maybe a balance issue or like in my case, the actual wheel was replaced due to being out of round. running 35s on my TJ and it runs smooth now....before it was just like what your steering wheel was doing. Still running 32s on the JKU so I dunno on that...no vibes tho. Another think about, aggressive tread patterns on tires will make a steering wheel and jeep feel like there's vibrations.

[@thecarjunkie3609]

I actually just got the balancing done and it totally fixed the issue. Thanks man

[@OvaisA]

Hey Fayaz - firstly, great channel man! I have a couple questions to ask you as I live in Milton and considering the 2021 or 2022 Jeep Unlimited Sahara High Altitude: 1. Does the Unlimited Sahara High Altitude roof look like what you just showed in your vid and would it still be a “loud” drive or quieter bc it’s considered the luxury trim? 2. Would the Unlimited Sahara High Altitude be family friendly for day to day use (two cars seats for two toddler)? 3. Would the steering handling be a concern for residential, highway (QEW/401), and Toronto-Ottawa road trip driving? Meaning for the High Altitude would it still shake a bit? 4. For the gas model, is it a gas guzzler?

[@jpg4910]

I love the channel and was wondering. Could you do an updated jeep accessories video soon?

This is very accurate, very good job on the subject. I'm definitely going to have to get myself that stabilizer if I want to get bigger tires and lift.

Blacked Out Jeep Wrangler maybe add some aftermarket heated seats.

[@surrealartisan4625]

Blacked Out Jeep Wrangler how did your babies deal with the cold?

[@gtadriftor0122]

Hey what’s up! I’m new to jeeps and am thinking about a Jeep Wrangler. I don’t really plan on modding it and plan to mostly use it within the city and occasionally taking it out. Do you think it’s worth buying a Jeep just for that or should I consider buying a different car? I’ve been doing research and I just need that little push to decide if I should buy one or not, I’m mostly interested and wanting to buy it but the mileage and the rain coming in are holding me back. Just wanted you’re opinion. Thanks.

[@redsquarejay]

I'm looking at getting a 2 door jk with only around 50k miles. Stock. Is this mileage young enough I can prevent major issues before they occur?

[@1obscura]

Use a noise machine to see how loud it is in a wrangler and a Rubicon and then maybe a 4runner and a civic and caddy it would be easier. I have a Kia soul and hate road noise. And love wranglers but won't buy one if its still as loud.

[@nickdossantos8848]

I got a 08 jku with 300 miles still love it

[@stevephan1]

Hey black Jeep Wrangler, I just bought a brand new 2018 wrangler Sahara custom 3” lift with 20” rims 35 tires. And it feel unstable when driving 45+ mph. Did you get that at all? My steering wheel doesn’t shake but it gets unstable like there is a lot of wind outside. Did you get that too? What should I do to correct that?

[@earlbartlett4699]

Hey Fayez.....Just came across your video, great job!!! I'm running the same lift ( R.C. 3.5") with 35" Wrangler Duratracs... have no pull or shimmy at all. I always rotate the tires every10K, and run little lower Psi. about 33 psi, also I am still running the stock stabilizer Really enjoy all the videos ...keep up the Great work..

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Earl Bartlett hey Earl. Thanks for writing in. I just took the jeep in today and did the wheel balance. I can't believe that fixed everything. The front drivers side tire/rim was shifted back for a better condition rim. Day and night difference. Steering doesn't shake and the ride is super smooth. Are you happy with your lift kit? How long have you had it for? Has it sagged?

[@earlbartlett4699]

Have had the lift for over a year and a half and I LOVE it.... may not be the most expensive lift but works well for what I want (need). Have not noticed any sag and the ride is very good ( for a jeep) ha ha.Running the tire pressure a little lower helps a lot. I can really tell when the pressure is too high. One of our local clubs is having a Topless Day meet in May the 21st.The club is Cross Country Jeepers in Tillsonburg, about 2 hours away... all ways a good day.

[@paulwilliams7874]

I recently bought a 2015 Rubi with a 4" lift and put some 35"s on it. The steering is BRUTAL (both before and after the tires) so I am wondering what you did to tighten up the steering. I have zero shake like you have but i feel a ton of play in the wheel even after installing a new (oem) drag link and tie rods. What is the compressed coil length on that 3.5 lift you got? Any recommendations for local GTA shops that specialize in suspensions?

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Paul Williams hey buddy. That’s unfortunate. I put a steering stabilizer by tereflex which really helped and then also did a laser wheel alignment through my dealership, and wheel balance. They told me one of my rims were warped so they moved that behind (it was at the drivers side). So there could be one issue or a few. Hope you can get it checked and sorted out. Justjeeps.ca is in Toronto

[@supertuber8506]

My tires are 37" and i need to use it on the highway everyday but i dont know how well it would handle. Also, i dont have money fot another tires😢

[@redneckindustries]

Did you re-gear to run 35"tires?? Running 33" tires put my JK UNLIMITED at the threshold of re-gearing to maintain acceleration and fuel-economy.

[@thecarjunkie3609]

I havent regeared. Yup, thats true about yours.

[@CoreyGrey]

Is this with all the windows up? That’s a lot of noise

[@Krisp138]

What year is it?Does that make a difference? I keep hearing its different then driving anything else, is there really that much of a difference?

[@surrealartisan4625]

Thinking I’d getting a wrangler unlimited between 2014-2017 and my girl is worried about the future with babies in the picture. Is it spacious enough for that? It’s a choice between that and a crew cab pick up.

[@16minimonster16]

Thank you so much for posting this! What you stated has to be spot on on everything! It’s built for ruggedness and off-road! It’s not supposed to be a calm quiet easy ride to commute daily with with no in cab distractions! You posting this solidifies Why I want to buy one even more! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Bradley Monter hey you are most welcome. All in all, a fun rig!!!! Keep me posted when you get one!

[@ajayjksrk]

Jeep or a camaro? Especially for Canada winter seasons... suggestions pls

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Hi Ajay, I love muscle cars! I had a two mustangs and a challenger rt plus. Honestly, if you are young and dont have kids, then do a muscle car, enjoy it, slap on some winter tires and go slow in the snow and ice cause they are shit in winter. Most people store them for that reason. That being said, I drove my challenger through one winter and my mustangs through all. The reason I got a jeep was because my wife and I were expecting twins and needed the space. The jeep then turned addictive for me and here I am today. Whats fun about the jeep is the endless building opportunity and the fun factor of being able to remove the doors, roof and go offroading, "you may be faster than me but cant follow me everywhere" goes the saying lol. I'm not sure if this helps but all the best.

[@ajayjksrk]

Yes I'm and no kids... i was really confused among these cars. Thanks

[@KingsDisasterGarage]

Hey take it into the shop you shouldn't have that slight shake in the steering wheel. I have 40's on mine with a 8" lift and no shake what so ever I've actually hit 100 with my jeep and never had issues. The only difference is when it's windy it is a bit more to handle.

[@thecarjunkie3609]

KingsDisasterGarage wow yours is a beast. I actually took mine into the dealership for a reassessment and to get a laser alignment done and to tighten up any loose bolts. I'm shocked then if this is still not normal. Maybe tire alignment needs to be done otherwise I'm really concerned now.

[@KingsDisasterGarage]

Blacked Out Jeep Wrangler what steering stabalizer do you have

[@HarpakULMApackaging]

What kind of pressure do you run on your 35s on the highway? I have Nitro Ridge Grapplers on a 17" wheel.

[@rollyb5061]

nice vid keeps us all informed about how other jeeps handle

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Rolly B thanks for the feedback

[@tpiiig]

What type of 35s are you running? I have a 2.5" lift and debating between Toyo MTs and Toyo AT2s... I also have a premium sunder soft top and am worried about the tires respective humming noise.

[@winthanaung]

In the city, do you drive with 4Hi as well as on highway?

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Only if lots of snow on the roads otherwise if it’s just wet, 2 wheel drive is fine

[@winthanaung]

​@@thecarjunkie3609 In my Jeep 2004 Cherokee, it has only 4Hi, N, 4Low, which one is better for the city and high way ride.

[@alvinw5675]

ANSWER: ALL Wranglers are bad on the highway, regardless of tire pressure. It's loose, blows in the wind, and will fold if you crash it. But I LOVE it! I ain't gonna lie.

[@arielgrimwade7984]

Alvin W i just recently got a jeep and i had a 3 hour drive and 3 times in the drive the whole car started shaking very badly and i’m only 16 so i don’t have that much experience and was a little scared and when i finally got home i told my dad and he said it was the wind but since you’ve probably been driving a jeep longer i was wondering if it was because of the wind

[@boomsaucexx1866]

Really though your jeep is new enough to have that luxury as stated in your video. Pretty sure most people wondering about handling and noise are looking at YJs or older. Guarantee my YJ will never handle or have the noise cancelation factor as a TJ and newer no matter the mods.

[@rileyhowerter2328]

first car a fully restored 1988 jeeep yj with the 4.2 on about a 5 inch BDS lift with 33s and a durango steering box, drives like shit, handles like shit, and goes straight-- ish like shit, it would be great to drive if it steered better. (2 door jeeps are the only real jeeps) .

[@classic287]

Ya, people need to know these things.

[@thecarjunkie3609]

classic287 totally

[@cionnoith]

I think that Shake in the steering wheel is the beginning of a death woble I have a 4inch lift 35 tires my steering wheel dosent shake

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Irish ken jeep hey it was actually a faulty rim, glad we found that out. Gotta watch out for that death wobble as well, it’s true.

[@paulaisgreat]

What Jeep’s are you guys driving?..

[@2011blueman]

That's a hell of a lot of road noise.

[@MoneyOverFame]

Helluva lot.

[@timothyreyna1444]

I JUST GOT THE NEW 2019 JEEP COMPASS WHICH IS MY FIRST JEEP AN HONESTLY IT LACKS POWER N EVERYTHING I'VE COME TO KNOW ABOUT JEEPS

[@johnnymarcy4904]

If its not worthy of the jeep wave its not a jeep

[@_Brodyobrien]

Where did you get the modifications. I am trying to find a Jeep but the 4 doors are too expensive and I don't have enough money. Any ideas?

[@shookqueens7081]

Wait till you have money ...

[@shanemunoz5691]

Driving my xj on a windy day on the highway is a death wish

[@andrewtodd4116]

You the man! Thank you so much for the video

[@thecarjunkie3609]

AJ Todd haha anytime

[@alexfolsom9159]

how cold are the jeeps during the winter months? do they hold heat well or heat up quickly?

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Alex Folsom hey unfortunately there isn't any insulation on the ceiling of the jeep so people at the back especially feel the cold first once the heating has been turned off. It doesn't hold in much heat after it's turned off to answer your question but when it's on, it's nice and toasty and doesn't take long at all to get there

[@surrealartisan4625]

Blacked Out Jeep Wrangler even with a Hard top??

[@5150Rockstar]

I’m on 37’s and a four and half inch lift. It was a Sema show jeep so took a lot to get it running correct. Yet still, on freeways going over 65, when I take the foot off the gas I pull right hard and when I counter steer becomes a bit scary and the ESC light comes on. Not sure what else to do... any suggestions? Thanks

[@moro1112]

setmedic I would take the Jeep to someone who knows how to work on suspension and have them check how everything is bolted together. Make sure everything is tight. I would check the tires to make sure they are properly balanced. Some big tires need weights. I had a truck with a similar issue it turned out the tires were not balanced so it caused the truck to pull and shake. Then once I lifted the truck up on a lift I saw the ball joint was bad and the lower control arm was very loose. The torsion bar needed some tightening. Idk what else to say other then I hope you figure it out!

[@mr.c493]

Can you fit three car seats in the back? Also what’s your take on the 2018 Wrangler?

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Mr. Céspedes hey, maybe the infant size ones but not the toddler size ones that I installed later. Two max with the larger ones

[@surrealartisan4625]

Blacked Out Jeep Wrangler can you do a video on infant/toddler seating ??

[@elbebto]

thank you for making this video. Im definitely buying the sahara soon

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Awesome. My pleasure and keep me posted

[@jonesmcnamara]

How much should I save to buy a 2 door Sahara or rubicon ? I really want one as my first car. I'm hoping to black it out like yours.

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Hey, by all means, you can use my jeep as motivations and a goal :) I would say you need anywhere between 35,000 canadian dollars so if you are in the US maybe around $30,000 max? If you are going to finance or lease one, then you might be looking at about $400 to $500 a month depending on your down payment and on how long you choose to pay it off if financing. Good Luck!

[@jonesmcnamara]

Awesome thank you so much

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Anytime :)

[@raulcuellar9239]

when you got your 33in tires did they tell you that you needed to lift the jeep? I'm looking to put 33in tires but don't want to lift it.

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Raul Cuellar absolutely no need for lifting with 33s. I did end up lifting it later on for a more aggressive look and to clear some trails better but absolutely no rubbing for daily driving. Go for it!!!

[@mohammaddaadaa2548]

Hi, I have 1 question please. Do you hear any squealing from the hardtop Durning your ride ?? Cause I've got my 2015 jk but I have the squealing sound from my hard top.

[@thecarjunkie3609]

Hey Mohammad, no I havent. The only squealing sound I get is from my LED Light bar. Does your jeep have one? If not, the only other thing I can think of is that the freedom panel might not be totally clamped down. If it is, check the rubber sealing, that might be worn out?
