Supercharged Jeep Review - Rig Walk Around Ep. 2

In this episode we take a close look at a 2012 2 door Supercharged Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. This is a very well built rig with a big kick of horse power under the hood, a 6” lift, 37” tires, Rock Hard and Poison Spyder accessories and lots more! It has a Magnus Supercharger that he has been using for almost 2 years and love it!

Dude has more money in lighting than I do on my entire Jeep.

[@TrailRecon]

Those lights are not cheap, but they are sure nice!

[@TrashPanda2801]

Blake W rigid industries stuff is crazy expensive, I think if you're not trailing your keep at night on a regular basis I'd go as far as saying it's a little too expensive when you can get a similar 50 inch light bar for less than half the price.

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

Justin Walters. yes, they have a new light bar that’s over $3k

[@H.pylori]

This is amazing! I saw this Jeep on one of the TrailRecon desert rides and wanted to know the brand name of the rack and Rotopax holder on the rear. Brad answered the comment and said "next time I see the owner I will ask him," So I figured that would be the end of that inquiry. Then, much to my surprise, this video appears on the TrailRecon Channel two weeks later! So Brad not only must have kept my question in mind, he actually contacted the owner of the Jeep and make this video. I am so impressed with this channel and the San Diego Jeep Club. Now I am off to the local installer to order the Rock Hard parts. THANK YOU, BRAD! AND KUDOS TO THE SAN DIEGO JEEP CLUB.

[@TrailRecon]

r g Thanks so much for the comment! Let me know how the install of the new gear goes!

[@scottsteeves1729]

I know this is 3 years old but I purchased that same rear bumper and racks at the 2019 TDS, love it!

9 MPG, that makes me hurt. I don't care what jeep owner you're, if you dont get at least 12 I think we are all crying

[@villagomezjaime96]

+TrailRecon awsome!!! quick question you said it was auto but why the 3rd pedal?

[@TrailRecon]

I'm pretty sure the far left pedal is a just a foot rest. I'll have to ask next time I see him.

[@EvanRackle]

not normally a fan of anything post TJ but this jeep has the original jeep spirit and i like it

[@TrailRecon]

It's a Jeep through and though! Thanks!

[@robertallen6710]

..two doors rule..

[@rogue109]

That rear tire swing out weights way more than 150 with the tire and all that shit on it...I'd say double that at a minimum. it's funny but most people have no idea what their vehicles and all their crap weights. Lets break it down...37" tire and rim is at least 85 lbs. 4x 3 gallon rotopacks where water weights just over 7 lbs a gallon...84 lbs. He already said the carrier itself weights about 100 lbs...Add to that the shovel, jack, axe and breaker bar, etc...he's way over 300lbs.

[@TrailRecon]

Not lite, that's for sure!

[@DonZaloog88]

I thought the exact same thing. Just the tools alone (axe, shovel, jack) he has strapped to it break the 100 lbs guesstimate he gave.

[@gcee4296]

I knew he was Navy as soon as I saw him

I'm not understanding the six inch lift; doesn't that much lift raise the center of gravity?

Yes. Every lift will raise the center of gravity.

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system

[@christophermichaelson9050]

Disagree that Rotopax is better than steel cans. :) Two things to note: the flag pole and rear vertical antennas are too close to each other, and the tow safety chain plate should be welded BELOW the receiver not ABOVE the receiver.

Second that!

[@ryanmartinii]

Such a nice rig! Do you know if he has aftermarket driveshafts?

[@TrailRecon]

I'm almost sure you have to when you raise it up that much, but I'll have to ask him what brand next time I see him... good questions!

[@ShabbernigdoXingjian]

with 6 inches on a 2 door 2012+ you need to have after market driveshafts. Anything after 3 inches you start running into issue so at 6 inches if he had stock ones they would be dead pretty quick so its a pretty safe bet he has aftermarket shafts.

[@aram442]

all that weight from the back part come on

[@TrailRecon]

aram442 With all that weight in the back and a supercharger you think he could pop a wheeling pretty easy?!

[@aram442]

TrailRecon there is no use for those to be honest. seems its just for the looks

aram442 bro you're vaping in your profile pic. Delete your account.

[@aram442]

Richard Tarbell well "bro" atleast I dont look like a nerd

[@christophermichaelson9050]

I have a full size rear bumper, tire carrier, 35" tire, hi-lift, and two metal jerry cans on the rear. Yes it is heavy, but NO it is not for the looks. We were really happy to have the extra 5 gallons while driving back to CA from Mexico. We were running low on fuel and all of the gas stations were unexpectedly closed for 70 miles. The 5 gallon jerry can allowed us to make it to the border safely. You just never know. Anyway, the rear weight is balanced by a front bumper, Winch, and dual battery system.

[@JeepTJWheelin]

Those 37's look bold and give this Jeep a strong stance. I have 33" Duratracs on my rig and honestly they look really good and get me over most everything I throw at it. For me, a 2 door Wrangler will always be my only choice. Jeep On!

[@robertallen6710]

..only two doors are real Jeeps to me..not cherokees, not liberties, patriots, 4 door Wranglers...

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

Robert Allen. I watch a lot of rollover videos on YT to see what to avoid and I gotta say a whole lot of the backward rollover Wranglers are lifted 2 dr. It also seems like the suspensions they are putting on them creates enough bounciness to make them flip over backwards if they get anywhere near vertical and gun it. I am no expert since I haven’t lifted my JKUR Hard Rock at all but it makes me wonder if there’s certain types of suspension I should avoid for that reason if and when I lift it. I could never deal with the lack of space and the two door. Putting things on a roof rack just raises your center of gravity even more, and besides that’s where I want to put my solar collector.

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

I hope there is something very, very substantial to hold down the CO2 tank in a high speed front collision. Otherwise it or anything heavy or metal could be fatal when it hits you in back of head. That’s a ton of wiring added along the firewall. What is it all?

[@aidanparker9543]

Did he go with 37” or 35” ko2’s I can’t tell. I’m like 98% sure they are 37’s the look great
