For one thing, we wanted to clarify that the Gladiator is rated for up to 17 MPG in the city and 22 MPG on the highway, but naturally that's with the little PIZZA CUTTER TIRES that they come with stock, and not in below freezing temps like we did. We tried to make this test as accurate and normal as anyone would drive, the first test of the fuel economy for the Jeep Truck was mixed for 70 MPH, 55 MPH, and 45 MPH with some stop and go, but not a lot, also it was just over 100 miles total with wind speeds around 2 MPH. The truck has slush and ice all over it and of course thats not ideal.
Another thing we wanted to notate was, most people don't buy the Jeep Gladiator for the Fuel Economy, they buy it as a lifestyle vehicle, however most of us use this as our main vehicle for daily driving to work, school, church, the grocery store, and whatever else. Very few of us actually get to use our truck for only OFF-ROAD & RECREATIONAL USES.
Overall, its pretty impressive how well the Jeep did with the 35 inch mud terrain tires. We will also do this exact same test with the 33 inch Falken Wild Peak All Terrains, and then of course we will also do this test with the 37 inch KM3 Mud Terrains from BFGoodrich Tires, and then the 39 inch tires and 42 inch tires. Showing exactly what you're gonna lose with each increase in tire size.

I just got my 2020 JTR last Saturday, and already started ordering mods. 2.5"/1.0" Skyjacker G250MSB lift, etc... Tires & wheels will be expensive...Don't have that kind of cash right now. What do you think about the stock 4.10's and 37's? Been trying to find some info, but most folks seem ready to mod with 4.88's or higher...I DD mine (when not driving my work truck everyday), so when I do drive on the highway, I don't want it to be searching for 8th gear all the time. Any info you can give about it? Your's seems very powerful, mine seems very sluggish even with the stock 33's... Do you have any power adders and upgrades done to your's?
37’s will be in any day now. Yeah, the iDrive Throttle Controller makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE. Working on getting it so you can order one from us. Also, a TAZER is a must, doesn’t boost performance but has so many mods you can do to your Jeep.
@@GladiatorGang Cool! Does the iDrive and Tazer leave any ECM footprints? My JTR is a lease (right now) to get the price affordable per month...I don't want to void the warranty if I take it into the dealer for routine maintenance, and remove the items prior-to.
Can't help but ask...Being a broke MF'er and all (after buying that damn thing), yall offering any discounts or willing to help get a channel setup with sponsors or discounts for builds for guys on YT?
MudRunner2005 we don’t do any sponsorship, we have a lot of sponsors we work with though, and as far as building your Jeep, we have direct connections with a couple builders that can do the work for you.
Doesn’t hurt to ask, don’t ever hesitate.
We know what it’s like to be broke, last 400 miles our average MPG was 9.2 MPG 😆
Apparently going 97MPH all the time isn’t the best on fuel.
@@GladiatorGang That's cool. I subbed to your channel. I come from a high-HP and torque background, so the V6 in the Jeep was kind of a pisser for me. I have been building offroad trucks and diesels and hotrods for about 20 years. This is my first Jeep...As I'm typically an old Chevy square-body guy (78-87)...Still got a 78 K10 and an 86 K10. The only thing I'm really disappointed in with it, is that Jeep didn't offer a V8 option from the factory, for that kind of price-range of the JTR.
How much will the iDrive things be? If it gives THAT much noticeable power, i'd be interested in giving one a try. I also have a buddy who just bought his JTR the week before me, and he'd probably be interested in one, as well. Will they leave a footprint in the ECM? Same with the Tazer? Or once you remove the Tazer, does everything automatically go back to normal?
Worse mileage too in the winter with cold weather gas. Probably a little better in the summer.
For sure, that’s a great point. Only took 2 years to respond 🤣
Thanks! 35s are in my future. Great to see I can preserve some fuel economy.
That’s good to hear, when you’re ready let us know. Might be able to hook you up. What are you planning on going with? Yeah, this gas mileage is REALLY IMPRESSIVE!
Gladiator Gang looking at a couple options. 35x11.50 Nitto trail grappler on stock wheels looks promising. Also looking at BFG KM3, Cooper ST Max, Falken Wildpeak AT3W, or Falken MT all in 35x12.50 R17. Still contemplating...mostly on road but like to weekend wheel and do Jeep events.
@@JTRSpartacus For some reason this comment was flagged as spam, but the only thing I can tell you is the KM3's are amazing, quiet and solid performance. When you're ready let us know we can maybe hook you up. Also, if you want you can order through our Amazon store too. Exciting stuff!
I ordered my new rubicon on Saturday. I ordered a manual though. I plan on keeping it stock til next spring. Then I plan on 6 inches and 40’s and going to 4.88 or 5.13 gears.
I build the front seats for this vehicle I told my wife I want to get one this summer. These videos are awesome .
Hey, thank you very much for the comment. The leather isn’t the best, not your fault. It’s already pretty wavey in the drivers seat. Rear seats get indents easy from car seats. LOVE THE TRUCK. Squeeky Brakes and HARD shift to REVERSE from Park frequently.
Where abouts are you from and what trim you gonna get?
Working on a bunch of small mods this weekend 👌
@@GladiatorGang I live in Oregon ohio about 10 minutes from the jeep plant in Toledo. If I was to get one right now it'd be the Rubicon with the black and red trim but we started the Mojave which are nice and there's these ones coming out that we're building with black leather and orange threading that have a pattern along the bolsters with super soft premium leather we're not sure what gladiator these are for since theres no wording on them but they're super nice.
chad franklin that is very cool, need to take a pic in front of the plant with ours!
Great vid. Great information. Thanks!
I have a 2004 TJ Rubicon and it gets 17mpg at 70 as well (5spd manual). The thing that has always bothered me about jeep, is how the fuel economy tends to be the same, if not worse, than a full sized Truck with a V8 engine. My king Ranch 4x4 with the 5.4L also scored 17/18 mpg at 70mph. I have owned 14 Jeeps (still have 3) and just can't see paying the same price for a Gladiator as for a well equipped full sized Truck and then have to pay for a lift kit and tires to make it look good and increase performance. I love that Jeep came out with the truck, it's just way overpriced for what you get.
Wow, this is our FIRST JEEP, however our friend Greg Henderson from Unofficial Use Only has owned almost every single model.
Yeah, they’re overpriced, but all vehicles especially trucks now a days are.
This is a business for me, so that’s the only reason I could justify spending over $60K with taxes.
Love being convertible, DOORLESS and being able to use it everyday and of course off-road etc.
Thanks for the video, you’re Jeep looks good
Doc William oh well thank you. It has been a MASSIVE INVESTMENT of TIME AND MONEY. It’s an obsession actually. Trying to produce content quicker and be LESS OCD. Love having cool effects etc but it slows down the uploads a lot!
I just made a trip from Texas to Central Florida, 1000 miles pulling a 1949 Willy's pick up on a UHaul car hauler, I averaged 10.5 MPG driving 70 - 72 with 37 x 12.5 Patagonia M/T's. On the return trip, driving between 70 - 76 without the truck and trailer I averaged 17.5 MPG. I'm driving a Gladiator Rubicon automatic with a 1 1/2" leveling kit only, bone stock in the rear. Also need to mention this thing pulls like a dream!!!
George Touchton we actually towed just shy of 8,000 pounds to Florida and back from Detroit 2,400 miles with varying speed and NO BRAKE CONTROLLER, averaged almost exactly the same as you, 10.5MPG but stock 33 AT’s. Thanks for the comment, that is really impressive mileage on 37’s! How do you like those Pat’s? Lot of people running them...
@@GladiatorGang so far I'm loving the Pat's, super quiet, super smooth and great off road.
George Touchton that’s good, people seem to really like them. Personally like to stick with the BFG’s. But everyone has their own taste, budget etc.
Have an awesome weekend, doors are off the Gladiator right now and it’s snowing out LOL
Great looking truck. Really like those Dirty Life DT1 wheels. What width and offset are you running ?
Not shabby for a rolling brick on big tires. Its a jeep if you want good mpg buy a Prius
Your Jeep looks awesome. I also have a black gladiator. I bought those fuel wheels with the -12 offset, but mine sticks out almost 6”. How dis you managed to keep yours with that offset?
?
Great video, you're getting a little better mileage than I am, but I'm rolling 37's. After installing the Taser so I could get accurate speedo, my mpg showed about 1.3 better. To get the trans to shift more like stock I programmed that the gear ratio is 4.56.
That's interesting, haven't heard of anyone telling the Jeep it has a different ratio for better shifting, thats a really good idea. Are you thinking about regearing? What tires are you running and what width? Have the 37's sitting in the shop, waiting on Dirty Life to get us another set of wheels to run the 37's and 35's back to back for comparisons.
@@GladiatorGang no re-gear in the works for now. The jeep is doing great as is. I have Nitto ridge grapplers 37-12.50-17 on KMC XD137 17x9 wheels.
@@lesszabo5625 Nice what are your other plans, Rubicon right?
@@GladiatorGang so far I've done an S&B cold air intake, Magnaflow catback rock crawler exhaust, Rough country mid-width bumper and Smittybilt x20 10k winch, Bestop sunrider. In addition, since the Skyjacker lift did not yet have rear control arms with their kit, I just recently installed Rubicon Express front upper and rear upper and lower arms. Made a real difference in ride and stability.
Les Szabo very cool, like that exhaust but have been in talks with another company (sponsorship) and will run their exhaust. You like the SB CAI? Seems pretty popular.
I got 24.3 mpg in highway @ 70 mph. In my city (not hills and regular traffic) I got 19.9 mpg. Jeep Gladiator Sport S with tires all seasons. I driver without push so much the accelerator. I had jeep and toyota for the last 40 years and this is the first that gave me very good mpg
I have a stock 2021 Gladiator Rubicon on 33" tires (that's stock) I have only had it a week and drive around the city within a few miles of my house, with no freeway miles at all and so far I'm averaging 14.7mpg its only been 230 miles of driving. FYI
@@toddn.9169 it gets better !
The Rubicon has different gears worse mileage
Why did you disable start stop. Is it bad for the longevity of the engine?
I’m looking order an new gladiator with an stick , going to do 35s hopefully I get around 15 mpg and 17-18 on the highway
That’s pretty realistic, did you order it?
I plan on getting 35 inch tires for my jeep Gladiator as well. Wonder if the fuel economy will be about the same or better if you drive a stick shift.
That’s a great question, should be a little better, although what rear end do you have?
Josh Nasche also, let us know when you’re ready for some tires, might be able to hook you up, or you can order them from our Amazon store if you want to support us, so we can do some more CRAZY CONTENT!
Also, towing is lower on the manual, not sure if you knew or cared, and have you ever heard a manual called a “Hog Leg 🦵” 😆
I have a stock 2021 Gladiator Rubicon on 33" tires (that's stock) I have only had it a week and drive around the city within a few miles of my house, with no freeway miles at all and so far I'm averaging 14.7mpg its only been 230 miles of driving. FYI
You have a break in period of about 2400 miles. Sometime after that recheck your mpg. You should see a significant gain.
@@dieselvexx2153 Yep I'm now at ~2500 miles and I'm getting ~16mpg mostly city driving and a little freeway. When I was away from the city and in a town with very few stop lights and speed limit is 40 I was getting 18 mpg
I wonder if you put the truck into manual mode and shift into 8th gear will it work?
It looses speed... So no go.
Not sure if it’s said somewhere in the comments, but if you have your phone plugged in and using waze like such, it will always read the same thing your dash does.. if I plug mine it with my 22 Mojave and 35’s it read identical but if you unplug and just use your phone and gps mine is 5mph off which is the same thing a speed trap reads
Great point, and back when this was filmed, no didn’t know that. But learned this about a year ago and guessing most others are unaware as well. Thanks. But also, the speedometer is calibrated with the Tazer so it should be very close. Although the 37’s are on it now and it hasn’t been updated now that you mention it LOL. Although I haven’t driven the truck since DECEMBER. It’s been sitting in a parking lot, long story. But should be driving it again by October hopefully. Nothing like paying $899/month for something to sit dormant!
I thought it was a diesel getting that bad..I’ve been getting nearly 32 mpg on the 32” factory overland tires..about to put on the 17” 35s
Can you force it into 8th gear ? Manual mode or something?
Nate Young that’s a really good idea, didn’t think about that. It’s crazy, when I did these tests before without manual calculations 65 vs 70MPH was almost 3MPG difference
Do you sell the Gladiator hat or your logo stickers? Love to pick them up.
We do, sorry kinda phased out of the Jeep scene over the last couple years… sorry took so long to get back to you.
Gas here in Arkansas is around $2.35 at the moment
PlayStation maniac that’s a pretty good price. Ours was down to $2.19 for a hot second. Normally don’t pay attention but figured it would be interesting to hear.
The green pump handle at the beginning of the video threw me. I thought you had a diesel Gladiator. I'm holding out for one. I was told by my dealer I can order one.
Damon Rydell you’re pretty brave if you get one. The previous generation EcoDiesel has a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT on it, and this is a new engine that has ZERO TIME on the road in the hands of the public. Could it be the best engine ever made, sure. But we won’t know for a long time, plus towing is lower with the EcoDIEsel. You’ll never recoup the money you spend on it unless you drive a MASSIVE AMOUNT and don’t have any major repairs. You can buy a LOT OF FUEL ⛽️ with $4,500!
Gladiator Gang Would it be worth it for the amount of torque to push 35-37” tires on a 2-4” lift? (Other than renting one, which went well, no experience with the 3.6)
Jacob Thompson so far it does perfectly fine with the 35’s and stock 3.6L the iDrive Throttle Controller helps, and having a 4.10 rear end is also a help. 37’s will be on and tested VERY SOON, waiting on Dirty Life for more wheels. Where are you, DRIVE MINE 👌
Jacob Thompson you don’t need a 2 or 4 inch lift with the 35’s. 37’s will fit no lift too, but some rubbing at full articulation.
Gladiator Gang thanks for the input. Looking to pickup a Max Tow package here pretty soon, but really want to see if specs are going to change at all for the JT vs the JL now. Don’t see myself running 37’s at first, but definitely want a little lit and beefy tires in the near future.
Once you regear you'll get 8th back but I'm surprised you're having this issue with 35's? I have 37's and I'll get 8th most of the time. It'll be fine rolling in 7th thou
Yeah, its very strange, never thought about forcing it into 8th, and yes will regear probably when we go to the 39's, after the 37's of course. Working on 2 more videos now and a bunch more of course after these.
@@GladiatorGang i know this is old threed , i get better mpg turning off cruse control. speed up past the speed you want then slowly reduce your speed the trans will drop in 8th.
@@jeffforbes70 interesting never thought about that...
Did you recalibrate your speedometer?
Yes using the Tazer 👍
Those look like ammo cans stacked up on the desk.
Yes they are, and they aren't all full. Some are almost empty, some are full. There's a lot of them.
Add a load in the bed or a trailer check fuel mileage same tires
What do you mean?
Edward Jackson oh, I see to show what the difference is. Got ya. Yeah, that’s in the plans. It’s just a lot of filming etc to make a simple video like this. Very little time available usually.
All the factors involved in impressed. I've seen base sports getting over 20
Oh for sure, 55-60MPH with normal weather have easily gotten 20 according to the dash, but haven’t done that manually. Will probably do 100 miles at 55 just to see how good it is. It’s just a lot of time to do. But if this video gets good views (to cover the gas LOL) I’ll do it. Thanks for the feedback. You have a Gladiator?
@@GladiatorGang Currently pricing for one actually. Sport S with a few options and a 6 speed will be my order
@@srtmetal7647 Thats cool, can't order a manual right now, not sure how long. Make sure to watch the video GladiatorGang.com/Prices if you haven't already.
Whats the build plans, anything?
@@GladiatorGang Noticed that. I'm patient. I for sure watched it. Very informative. Build will be mild because it will be my daily aside a summer car. I'm thinking hard top, slightly larger/wider tires, intake, electric exhaust cutout, and Tazer in the Granite Crystal.
Joshua Jeremy very cool, 35’s are a great size for looks, off-road performance, price and everyday practicality. Let us know when you’re ready, we can hook you up with most brands. Lots of connections in the off-road industry and LOVE networking and talking about this stuff. Where you from?
Is this a diesel?
Damon Rydell you know, I never even mentioned that, no this is the 3.6L V6 Pentastar. I DO NOT RECOMMEND the EcoDIEsel at all, it’s like $4,500 upgrade, expensive oil changes and DEF fluid and almost guaranteed it won’t be a reliable engine with all those emissions components on it.
Do you have a lift on it?
BONE STOCK. Long story as to why.
I'd love it if ZAutomotive, Fab Fours, Warn, BFG, Nitto, etc... wanted to help sponsor my 2020 JTR build with a set of KM3 37x13.50r20 tires to go on the 20x10 wheels I plan on ordering...
Hey, if yall are watching, and interested, reach out! I'm itching to put out fresh new content and gain some subs and views, and doing a JTR build is hot right now. I just ordered my lift, and some other stuff, and wanting to order tires & wheels. 👍🏻
Good luck with the sponsors, there's a lot that goes into sponsorships and partnerships.
Did you re-gear?
Nope, and you’ll need to really do a lot of math to see if it makes sense.
Stock 4.10’s still. No matter what I do, I average about 15MPG.
But 65+ MPH makes a massive difference in performance.
It’s not linear at all, there’s a huge drop off at certain increments, sometimes a 2-3MPG drop just from a 5MPH increase.
75+ and the MPGS are terrible, absolutely awful.
Hah. Gas is now $5/gallon. Still for everything the Rubicon offers, it’s quite reasonable.
People that want to compare this to full size trucks or even mid-sized trucks, just don’t get the Jeep factor.
Does a tonneau help or hinder your gas mileage.
There’s a lot of mixed info about if tonneau makes a difference or not…
$2.29 N. FLORIDA
That’s pretty good, has that been the price range for a while now?
You're not getting into 8th gear because you should be running 4.56 gears since you changed to 35s.
Yes obviously regearing would help, but lot of people don’t want to or won’t see the ROI. Plus they want to see what stock does, thanks for the feedback, haven’t driven the truck since LAST YEAR! Long story, but should be back on the road in a couple weeks hopefully 🙏
I understand and get it, bigger tires = more $$$, but was just letting you know why you werent getting to 8th gear. By not re gearing, it puts a bigger load on your engine, especially if you're driving on freeway alot.the "ROI" is protecting the engine
RUN 35'S ON MY MOJAVE REGEARED TO 4:88. AT 65 I GET 19 MPG AT 70 IT DROPS TO 16.
and now 6$ gallon in California
my 2013 ram 2500 6.7L cummins is better fuel economy with mud 35" tires
Ok
I
Got to say.
Where is gas that cheap.
Not here in Oregon.
Mine gets 16 - 10 when I tow 6k pounds.
Dale Smith towed just shy of 8,000 pounds to FLORIDA and BACK from Detroit, 2,400 mile trip no brake controller. According to the computer was getting about 10.5 MPG stock 33 All Terrain Tires. Wasn’t easy on it, reached high speeds and followed all local laws 😆🚓
Are they quiet ? Lol
Cut the music. We want to hear what you are saying - its annoying
Glynn Mitchell yeah, few have said that and note taken. Thanks for the feedback.
Would love to join the giveaways but I live in Canada 😣
Oh that’s a bummer. Time to love to the USA 🇺🇸
@@GladiatorGang I subbed. And i definitely plan to be part of your community. Looking to buy myself a gladiator after I get married.
Team Descend well that’s great to hear, about being a part of this community and getting married. What trim and what plans do you have for the Gladiator?
@@GladiatorGang thank you very much. I'm not sure if I'll be able to afford the Rubicon so I'm really leaning towards the Overland model. I plan to get a sports exhaust to make it sound much nicer. And of course. Rims and Tires. That's all for now. I'll know more of course when I obtain the vehicle.
Very cool, make sure to keep in touch, and DM us anytime on instagram.com/Gladiator.Gang
Who buys a Jeep for milage? LOL
Nobody but people still want to know, I drive well over 150 miles per day now, so it gets expensive.
Yes, music to loud. but between talking segments, its fine.
Good to hear. Checked it a few times during editing and it didn’t seem too loud. But it’s tricky because adjusting the volume over and over with my voice is the music from different cameras etc they all have different audio levels. NOT AN EXPERT on editing yet, still learning a lot. Have an awesome day BUCK!
You got a Gladiator?
Have had the doors off again since Sunday, it was 30 degrees out this morning with frost on the leather 🥶
Gladiator Gang Yep 2020 Red Gladiator. Love your videos. Had mine since 12/02. Working on mine now. Putting on Ace’s Upper Decker. Keep up the good work man.
Very cool, ACE is less than 45 minutes away, and the upper decker is pretty cool. Thanks for the info, glad to hear you've had one for a while now! Can't stop driving ours and finally started doing some of the STAGE ONE mods.
Have to watch a 15 minute video just to get fuel econemy..
Sorry, I'm working on making the videos quicker and more to the point, thanks for the feedback though, hopefully you like the other content?
U think 16is good ? R u ok dude
Well, considering I’ve been averaging 11.1 MPG over the last 7,500+ miles according to the truck’s calculations... yeah, 16 is pretty good.
It’s like driving a box through the air. On meaty tires with a 4.10 rear axle ratio...
6.4L Hemi Swap will slightly increase fuel economy...
@@GladiatorGang I have a Mojave. On 37’s , no lift. 12-14 mpgs
Please do tell how you went from 11 or so to 16
@@HairExperience Well your speeds and habits make a big difference, even 5-10 MPH makes a huge difference when you are stuck in 7th gear. What axle ratio do you have and how wide are your tires?
@@GladiatorGang Oh yeah. I can agree with that. But driving slower than the speed limit lol
Its a Mojave, so 4.10 gears. 12.5 wide tires.
Thinkings about 4.88's to maybe fix it
If you buy a jeep for gas mileage you should not buy a jeep.
I went from driving less than 1 mile each way to my job at the Jeep Dealership to joining America’s Most Wanted 4x4...
AMW4x4 is over 80 miles EACH WAY.
Now, do I care about gas mileage, yes to an extent because it adds up fast, so depending on someone’s lifestyle the tire size they run might be determined by stuff like this.
I’m spending $400-$500/month in gas, to me that a waste of money. I’d rather buy a beater and use that extra money for upgrades or other fun stuff...
But yes, I didn’t buy my Gladiator for Miles Per Gallon, but rather SMILES PER GALLON.
The SRT 6.4L Conversions we do at AMW4x4 actually increase fuel economy compared to the stock V6 because it’s so much easier for that 505 Horsepower Hemi to push this so aerodynamically challenged vehicle through the air!
Have a great Christmas and New Years 🎄
I drive on 08 4 door rubicon 55 miles one way on 35s every day lol but I just caint seem to buy something else to drive , love my jeep too much 😅
They’re so awesome and fun!
Dude get to the point. You keep advertising the tires
Yeah, you’re right. Lingered on a little bit, thanks for the feedback. Hope this gave you some insight on fuel. Although I’ve been averaging 11.1MPG the last 8,000+ miles (but driving HIGH SPEEDS and short distances is all I do).
@@GladiatorGang what other mods did you do to achieve such poor mpg ?
@@Aceinfinity-le8zc nothing, that’s just how they are.
The music is annoying
Thanks for the feedback, what else did you think?
@@GladiatorGang
i like music
My Titan gets better gas mileage than that. 16mpg is terrible
Well, what’s the specs on your Titan, and you do realize this is like driving a 📦 box, your Titan is quite a bit more aerodynamic 🤣
16mpg is garbage. My heavy Toyota Landcruiser gets 15mpg and that’s horrible
When you’re running 35” Mud Terrains with solid axles and basically a BOX SHAPED vehicle, you’re not gonna get much better. I have 23,000 miles on my Gladiator almost, 95% of that is for pleasure, not commuting or work. I’ve had it 14 months and averaged much less than the 16 MPG (because I drive doorless & topless majority of the time) and HIGH SPEEDS 80-90 MPH.
I don’t care about gas, otherwise I wouldn’t have this Jeep Truck.
But some people use them to commute and off-road and therefore they need to know what to expect.
I’ve spent THOUSANDS on gas just for fun creating content and living the Jeep Lifestyle.
You drive a Toyota, you lost me there.
I don’t comprehend such a boring vehicle.
They’re reliable, sure but other than that, it’s just a boring DOORFUL truck.
Thanks for the feedback, and enjoy your gas mileage.
My kids aren’t gonna remember MILES PER GALLON.
They’re gonna remember SMILES PER GALLON when we do all of our trips and fun rides in “Dad’s Jeep Truck with the doors and roof off”...
@@GladiatorGang burn 🔥! Hahahaha
I drive 160 miles a day now, not laughing much anymore 😆
@@GladiatorGang oh damn 🤣 still running 35? Or 37s?
@@brian8978 sadly still the 35’s. Pathetic at this point. I’m working at America’s Most Wanted 4x4 now and get to drive the most insane Jeeps on the planet, so no sense in even trying with mine.
