They buy the cheapest base price Wrangler Sport knowing that they are going to replace the stock undercarriage and customize a new build with bigger tires, different gearing ratios, etc - which is what I did with my rig..

Let's be really real, after the 4 door was released, I bet it's under 5%. USA built it, the Germans couldn't destroy it, but now the Italians are doing a pretty good job at ruining it's good name.

@@ThSloth_InDaGetto serious question from a non jeep person. If someone is going to buy a jeep and replace the drive terrain with v8, Chevy axles and what not. Why not just buy the k5 or bronco?
@@mattballard6591, I believe you would have to be a jeep person to understand that. Just to be clear, I didn't and most Jeep owners, don't do any of that. Imo, the original Broncos were awesome.

@@ThSloth_InDaGetto I hope not I already have a 89 Chevy truck that eats the hundos 😂! I can imagine a jeep would steal my heart if I got involved. Thank you sir for the response and happy jeepin!
he’s right, if any style of tire just gets all clogged up with slick mud by (going slow in 4low) 4hi and a lot of spinning helps the mud fly out of the treads which is more useful by the time the tread gets back to the ground.
Serious question here, I've never owned a four-wheel drive, before shifting from 4-wheel high or four wheel Auto or any of the other settings do you need to come to a stop or can you do this while moving?
Depends on the vehicle in a jeep jl or jt i have a jt i know you can do 4 hi while moving with your foot of the accelerator under i think 45 mph and 4 lo in neutral at 1 to 3 mph and tjs yjs and cjs you have to do at a complete stop i don't know about jks i think the same as a jl. Basically most new four wheel drive vehicles you can shift into 4 hi while moving at a reasonable speed say 35 and under but four low is usually always in neutral at a very slow speed no more then like 5mph
On a Toyota Tundra, there’s a dial to flick to switch from 2WD to 4H under 60 mph. To shift from 4H to 4L, you gotta shift to neutral and push the dial in before flicking the switch
I always put my car or truck into neutral before shifting from 2WD to 4WD anything not just low. It's a good idea to not have the car in park or in gear when changing how the tires grip because your gonna cause problems or it just won't let you. If forced you might hear some grinding noise... not good. Just my 2 cents for you guys 😀
My car is always in neutral when in complete stop anyways, or else it will stall if its in gear and I take my foot off the clutch pedal since it isn't a diesel.
Even if most jeeps aren’t used for off roading they are way more practical than any car in my opinion and the 4x4 and ground clearance is there for when needed
On there he said that you know I'll feel or Wills will spend he said that before he said to put the differential Locker only two wheels spend when you're on four wheel drive that's what the lockers are for
@@billytugwell48 I found to get into 4 wheel hi its best to be moving at atleast 10mph or more in drive off the gas, and 4 wheel low at around 3 to 5 mph in neutral.
Future to be a jeep owner, most of jeep owners are just pretentious. But as a fossil hunter/paleontology hobbyist I might actually use the off road modes for my expeditions.
As a traffic flagger 🦺 doing a job by a parking lot all trucks and SUV had to BRIEFLY drive on the sidewalk and over a SMALL curb to get out. The look on thier faces was funny for them doing this simple task in a $30k-$70k vehicles designed for off roading. 😁
@@SanctumOfDreams better believe we take pictures when we see a Jeep, always have a girl driving them. Gotta show love to the females, and Jeeps they drive. You know 98% of all jeeps made are still out there today, the other 2% made it back home.
To a lot of people saying that, “let’s be real here, a lot of people that buy Jeeps don’t do serious off-road stuff” like man STFU. That’s like saying to another person why do they want to become a bodybuilder when you ain’t gonna use that body to lift heavy stuff in your everyday life and shows it off just for looks. Or why do people buy sports cars when they won’t even do drag and street races everyday and therefore not utilizing its potential as a sports car. Or why do people even buy fast foods to eat when they know themselves they are considered very unhealthy and literally will make them die earlier instead of eating home cooked foods sacrificing their health just for convenience? People can do whatever the hell they want in their lives. Whether they need it or want it. If they want a Jeep coz they like the way it looks, its fine. If they want it for the brand, its fine, if they simply want it because it is the only type of car that has removable doors and roofs, its fine. People be judging sh*t heavily nowadays that’s why this world is crumbling to pieces.
So I have a 2024 Wrangler Sport 4xE is this the same process for mine, cause I can go into 4H and 4H part time fine but when I was just trying out the 4L I was told to put in N and switch down , and to get out I do the opposite
Anyone else find it extremely hard and almost impossible to switch in and especially back out of 4low? I feel like on my JK it was WAY easier no matter if you’re moving or stopped
First of all you bought the wrong vehicle if you don’t know any of this. Secondly and everyone gets this wrong, When you put your vehicle in “4wd” it is actually only in 2wd until you lock the diffs.
I feel like even mall crawlers should learn how to use their transfer case... in case they’re at their ski retreat and it gets a little slippery on the way to starbz
Lets be real: Less than 30% of all Wranglers produced are used for offroad stuff

4 high works better for deep mud because it cleans out the tread and you get a new clean bight the next rotation
No wrong. City boy
You need lower tire pressure and or mud tires if your treads are clogging up
4 low is for rock crawling imo

yeah. he did a good job reading the manual for the transfer case directions though
Whoa im blown away. Ive never seen a small vehicle with a differential lock. Thats gnarly
My mom's 2011 Honda Fit has experienced more floods and mud than 90% of all jeep drivers
Appreciate your video...! Newbie needs to know these...! I found this informative 👍
I took my grand Cherokee off road this weekend. Felt good.
I have multiple jeeps. My all time favorite so far for off roading is the grand Cherokee. Mine is a WJ. The V8 Laredo.
This is awesome. I never know how to use these features. Online doesn't really tell
Information with proper explanation 🔥
I'm betting like 2 bucks and a Star garlic margarine that the Jeep in this video has never touched a single drop of mud
They should give these the column shifter. All those shifters and hand break takes up space.
I'll remember this when I get a Wrangler and modify it for extreme offroad use 👍 (seriously, no sarcasm)
Thanks you man it really help 😅😅😅
Such a capable and ready vehicle
Wow NOW I see why this is a cult favorite. That is some insane amount of control
Weld the diff on the XJ no need to hit a damb switch
That would be so smart. You are so smart. Mom must be proud.
Thanks cause I just been telling myself they’re for decoration 😂
I got stuck at a drive thru curb...good thing I found this video. Thanks! 🙏
You also forgot a sway bar. When you press that button, wheels can move in both sides with their horizontal axis (i forgot it’s name)
Amazing
Even if most jeeps aren’t used for off roading they are way more practical than any car in my opinion and the 4x4 and ground clearance is there for when needed
My aunt bought a '21 Wrangler Rubicon and it will never see a day of dirt
These will work great the next time I go to the mall 😎
It's worth every penny even if you need to use these only once in a jeep's lifespan.
Going 4x4 high offroad could deploy airbags because the sensor settings are still sensitive. In 4x4 low the system adapts the settings.
Someone told me to send this to city drivers to confuse them, so I shared it with a Jeep driver.
Straight out of the box the wrangler rubicon is a monster off road, but most owners wouldn't even utilize it that way.
On there he said that you know I'll feel or Wills will spend he said that before he said to put the differential Locker only two wheels spend when you're on four wheel drive that's what the lockers are for
Should be on loose ground before dropping into 4WD Low and before engaging your locking differential
Thanks for reading the manual and regurgitating the info
Thanks for all of the info....now we know....
The most simple vid🤘easy to learn
How is his transfer case so smooth my 21 jt is clunkier then my 98 tj anyone else have a hard shifting jl or jt
I also have a 21 jt and a built 97 TJ. Just like you, I gotta kick the transfer case lever on the new one. Thought it was just me.🤔

I don't have one, but that was educational.
Very good but there's also Offroad + and Sway Bar disconnects to talk about.
My 2wd (FWD) Mitsubishi outlander sport sees more dirt that most jeeps.
I need this car right now
Very good video for all the soccer moms who bought a rubicon for the cool stickers and red accents!
Watching this makes me want to get a Jeep!
In jersey the 4x4 comes in handy. You can drive on Bradley Beach. It's pretty dope.
only need a line lock now on the 392 model and you got a bad ass burn out wagon 🤌🏽🤣
Every doubts cleared.
All I need now is a Jeep!
Jeep guy here this really helped
Good
Lastly make sure there's a Toyota Tacoma around to pull you out.
This is what my buddy said for the 5 months his Tacoma lived 😆 he doesn’t talk much about his truck anymore since the transmission melted.
He forgot add that never attempt use 4L in tarmac if you want keep your axels shaft in one piece
Also 4H. 4WD =/= AWD
THANK YOU. VERY INFORMATIVE. Because, sometimes You buy these cars and You don't know how to operate All the Functions.
That’s what the owners manual is for.
Only Rubicons have factory diff locks. Normal wranglers don’t have that feature.
A cool trick if you have your jeep locked the do unlock unlock and the locked locked it will do a cool trick i sa some video
Future to be a jeep owner, most of jeep owners are just pretentious. But as a fossil hunter/paleontology hobbyist I might actually use the off road modes for my expeditions.
If you use low range in mud, you gon’ learn today...
I am probably going to get one after that video o love those options.
Love it!
If you're driving your jeep around wondering how to shift the transfer case until you came across this video... keep wondering
You sound like that chill bro from total drama island
I’ve been looking at a jeep because my 93 ford tempo always gets stuck in the snow. I’m sick of 2 wheel drive in Canadian winters! 😂
Jesus we are in a society that buys a car just for the looks, and doesn’t even learn the controls before they buy the car.

Bunch of mall crawlers. Should say thanks to Jeep tho, without them we never would have gotten the Toyota 4runner. The original jeep rescue vehicle.

What's the point of the neutral in the transfer case? My L200 k74 had it but I couldn't find any use for it in the book 😅
So you can flat tow the jeep. Meaning no trailer is being used.
I never understood why people buy an bronco or a wrangler but use it on the road they add all these features that most owners will never use
"4wd controller" lmao
I think I’ve only seen a dozen (at most) Rubicon’s off road.
That’s what happens when you spend all your time on pavement, you tend to see other vehicles on the pavement too.
Fair warning don’t ever use four-wheel-drive low in mud. It will just get you more stuck.

Theres just 2 on most models, just a partial time 4wd with new ones.

most jeeps want you to be moving 3-5mph in neutral to shift to 4 low
Per the 4XE engineer he recommends people keep it in 4Auto not 2High. Gas mileage penalty is minimal.
Ummm sway bar?
