It also depends on the type wheeling you are doing. Here in Utah or in the woods having low power can be advantageous. It’s easy to overthrottle or brake something. My Jeep had the 4.0 straight 6. Now back when lived in Florida and ran mostly just flat mud bogs, having enough power to maintain good wheel speed definitely was a advantage in certain circumstances.

I was fortunate enough to get a 1949 Jeep CJ2A from my great uncle in 1988. He loved the old Jeeps, and would go through them keeping them original. Mine was a 6 volt system, had the flathead 4 cylinder engine, 3 gear shifts on the floor, and the starter switch on the firewall. Top speed was about 45 mph in high range, 3rd gear. I had so much fun in that rig. Where we lived at the time there was thousands of acres of land dedicated to bauxite mining, and timber, so I could spend all day crawling along in 2nd gear low range seeing the sights. My great uncle did put a canvas top with removable canvas doors on it for me, otherwise she was bone stock. I never got stuck, or stranded with her either. I recall the tires were hard to find, I think it had 16.5 inch wheels.

Off road upgrades are great at finding the next weakest link in your drive train.

[@albertodiazpr]

Totally agree with you Wizard! I'm a former US Army Military Police, and the only thing we need in our HMMWV's are a nice amount of torque to go over things. And the same thing with my Wrangler JK 3.8L. We never need high horsepower, because real off roading is not about speed, but to get to your destination safe. I really enjoy your channel my brother in arms. Keep up the great job soldier! Hooah

[@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261]

Also, Humvees have portal axles which take the engine's torque, as multiplied at the differential, and multiply it some more!

Adding a Hemi engine to a six-cylinder Jeep without upgrading the drivetrain will eventually equal failure.

Those big heavy oversized wheels will wreck the suspension system on that Jeep in no time, especially if driven offroad. The ball joints, wheel bearings, steering box, and control arm bushings are not engineered for the added stress. Big tires will also cause the stock axle housings to bend if you wheel it hard.The vague steering is usually a combination of frame flex and flexing track bar. Never buy a used Jeep that has a big lift and big tires. If you have ever experienced death wobble, and had to spend many thousands of dollars to correct it, you will understand. At least that Jeep started out as a Rubicon with lower 4:11 gears. The electric sway bar disconnect tell me that. This example has too few miles to show the detrimental effects of improper modifications.

[@nekto34]

I bought a 2004 4runner for overlanding and love it immensely. It's fantastic stock. The amount of power is just right for highway performance, but what it can do off road is simply amazing. Astounding.

[@georgeetherege8347]

Great info, especially re the proper "track bar" and what REAL clearance is. My 2020 Gladiator has the "Overland" trim pkg---with about an inch or so of effective lift relative to the factory "Sport" model. Tires are street, but I want to go trail and snow---no rocks. Bottom line: every inch of increased tire diameter will give an extra 1/2 inch of clearance where it counts. Thanks!

[@fredsimmons6188]

The closest I've ever come to off roading was when I went out into a muddy field with valleys and hills. There used to be some pretty steep hills left by an old vegetable canning company who used to dump their tailings left over from the pickling process. I used to run over these hills and through the mud with my 78 Scout. Fun times. I've never done any serious rock climbing. I did a bit of a lift and used 35" tires.

[@IrishGaucho]

Wizard: It doesn't have to be $5k everytime... Hovie: hold my invoices

[@gjsthreefoursevinoneone8945]

I question if the Jeep actually has seen serious and prolonged off road running. No scars, scratches or dents? The off roading I have seen in my life is passing through forests and bush. Damage is normal and a badge of honor. I spent several years in the San Diego mountains . Access roads were similar to what is in the video. Even with ruts and washouts, the roads were handled by cars like Cavaliers and a VW Bus. Today I live in Florida and I see so many Jeeps with light bars, gigantic tires and lift kits. Yet they all look like they are right off the showroom floor. One exception are the mud boggers who come back Sunday night totally covered in yellow mud. To each his own.

[@jamie.andrews]

No way it has been offroading. Too clean.

[@J.R.in_WV]

Those pushrod 3.8’s are great engines, the only problem I’ve ever seen with them is 90% of them seem to burn oil at around 1 quart every 1,000-1,500 miles after they hit the 50,000 mile mark. But that’s not too much of an issue as long as you keep it topped off on oil it’ll run 200k or more easily.

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Man, you definitely get it! Many of my fellow KZbinrs have put big motors in their Jeeps and as cool as it is, it isn’t practical for remote long distance trails. Still, the 392 would be fun for daily driving and trails where I’m not worried about fuel.

[@Poindogindustries]

Hey car wizard, one thing to recommend replacing to that customer proactively BTW would be the transfer case shifter linkage bushings. They are super fragile plastic and will leave you stranded when one busts and the t-case is stuck in neutral!

[@albertodiazpr]

You're absolutely right. I changed mine already.

[@MidnightMiata]

For off-roading and most other stuff, I remember what Fred Williams from Dirt Everyday said when he was talking about his rig, Clampy. Over axled and under engined.

[@JoshSolo]

One thing about that Jeep is in my state you couldn't have the tires extend beyond the fender flares. So you would have to extend the flares or get slightly skinnier tires.

[@jeromeshockley9572]

Mr. Car Wizard. I did not know you served in the military. Thank you, for your service. I served in the USMC as automotive mechanic and currently serving in the Army National Guard as a motor transport operator.

[@jims04srt]

Clean Jeep and great walk through! As a '13 JKU owner, I'm sure the owner had it re-geared as the 35" tires with the stock 4.10 gears would make 5th and 6th useless. I'm also surprised all the steering components are stock. Besides the panhard or track bar, the tie rod and drag link might flex with the heavy wheels and tires. I couldn't tell for sure, but I think the ball joints were replaced as that is another weak spot when lifting the Jeep. Another nice video from the Wizard!

[@queensapphire7717]

Yep, these guys that throw 35s on standard Jeep axles are in for trouble. Stock axles, diffs and Xfer case are really meant for 33s and less. Cannot upgrade to (stupid) size wheels and assume all other things equal.

[@derekwhidden9730]

I miss my 91 Bronco. It was stock. That thing was tough as nails and fun to drive. I once found out how tough. I was in the passing lane after over taking a car and a semi pulled out in front of me. The only place to go to avoid hitting him was the median. I was doing about 50 and I hit a curb and took out one of those small marker reflectors. The only thing broke on the truck was one front shock. It was ok. There were 3 left on the front. I had to get fix of it though. 9mpg was killing my wallet.

The best offroader on the planet, the Mahindra Roxor, only has 60hp. Power doesn't mean shit off road. It's how you use that power.

[@PaintGuy]

I would recommend a Steersmart Drag Link to help with the steering. You might as well upgrade the tie rod at the same time. One other thing to look at is the pitman arm. I don’t know what lift that is, but “cheap” lifts sometime include a dropped pitman arm. It’s terrible for steering. You won’t need it if you get the drag link geometry corrected.

Tip for anyone with these bumpers and wants to go off roading. My buddy has the exact same bumpers (front has add on bull bar and winch) With 35'' Dick Cepek Fun Country tires and a 4'' RC lift.

My folks own an 04 grand caravan with the 3.8v6, and it burnt a valve at 70,000 miles! Which practically requires an engine rebuild to fix. Plus they drive very conservatively. And now with 115k it makes cam noise and is starting to have rod knock. Although I will admit, torque off the low end gives a very strong pull. Spins the tires with minimal effort. But still, I wouldn't ever buy a Chrysler product myself. The old i6 jeeps are awesome, but the electronic nightmares they become at this age just kills em. But that's how things go nowadays.

The next video upload for the six used SUV's to buy, should be coming on the KZbin channel, hopefully next month.

My Jeep only got to 8000ks before it needed a new v6 Deisal motor. Dropped a lifter and a cam lobe.
