Nothing wrong with the powertech 3.7/4.7 other then ppl not knowing how to take care of them. Keep the cooling system in top shape and keep up with the oil changes and it runs fine.
Currently in my area a 1999 generation GC with a 4.0 will bring twice the money of a 4.7 all else being equal. It doesn't matter if it's because people don't know they have to baby the 4.7, it's because by this point in it's life the damage is most likely already done. Then the repairs that are inevitable cost more than a repaired on is worth so it's scrap at that point. Dodge has always made great V8s, regrettably the 4.7 is easily the worst V8 in Chrysler's history. It's not near as bad as many other makers worst V8, but compared to other Chrysler V8s it fails. Now compared to the legendary 4.0 inline 6 which may be the most reliable motor ever put in a vehicle it really is pale.
@@bryanhersman4037 a inline 6 form any manufacturer is going to ge better then their v8 offerings. It in the simplicity of the design. The jeep 4.0 isn't some magical beast, the Ford 4.9, chevy 232, toyo 3.0, Nissan skyline 6, all are just as bullet proof. Keeping the oil changed and keeping the cooling system in shape isn't baying the 4.7. Those are basic thing you should be doing with any engine. I beat the he'll out of my 3.7 on the regular.
Brilliant! Well done lads, it was good to see Adam C involved as well. Definitely going to be checking out green light insurance on my new car purchase in February.
Well done lads, great to see you all having fun, this was very entertaining. Hmm, a challenge you say, how about building the cheapest rally car, buy cheap bottom of the range hatchbacks, throw in a roll cage and go. Though I don't know if the public has access to rally stages, in that case, rip out the interior and see who gets the fastest lap on a track day... the funniest part is going to be how many times you get lapped lol.
Thats crazy man! before the price hikes I paid 1500 for the same jeep but stock. 1200 in new tires and wheels, 3200 for a lift that didnt get here for 3 months and now gotta pay another 1600 to have it installed.
The diahatsu fourtrax should have flew past all of them I had one for the farm and a problem with them is the back axle locking up rad overheating but both those problems can be avoided with good care love to get another one for the road
There's a lot of Range Rovers run by people who can't afford to run a Range Rover. If you buy cheap, it's because it hasn't been maintained for years. Prepare for work! Once on top of the neglect, they are quite reliable and offer a great ownership experience.... if you look after them.
Great weekend activity, chuck the kids in the back and head to a pay and play site a couple weekends a month. We have a freelander 2 and 3.5 v8 range rover.
this was brilliant man yous all need to get together again and do more challanges was a brilliant watch and to be subscribed to all of yous for then to all do something together defo need more of this
Blue team definitely won that 😂😂 quality video so glad I went with green light for insurance and they are so well priced super efficient and good guys thank you
i have a 08 Liberty/Cherokee. the next body style after that one. 4in lift with 32in tires. dual exhaust. snorkel box air box (to fire wall), 2021 wrangler JL front bumper swap, and so much more. they are great vehicles but nothing is available so everything is custom pain in the ass lol
😄😄😄 Great watch new sub, Love it at Slindon. I have a good Challenge in the summer for you? Buy a 2wheel drive vehicle on a low budget, make it as off-road capable as possible! Drive it to Wales and complete one of the lanes up there, (Maybe Strata Florida)? Some rough terrain, some water crossings all doable but a good Challenge. It would make a great weekend adventure. I’d put forward a team for that 🤣🤣🤣 always wanted to do it. Great work guys loved it 👍🏻
The winner has to go to will in the ford ranger I know he was not in the challenge but he seemed to have pulled all you out and then trailerd the yellow haha
Never see i a test with a hond hr-v OR the big brother cr-v. I use a Honda hr-v and drive easy on mud , snow and sand . Even hills the car do not care . Even the 4x4 drive with a cvt i always have grip on IT. And reason is easy the rear wheel drive by a oil pump . Even if your front wheel loos grip teh back Will push IT thanks to the oil systeem built up.
Really. Maybe they can handle the odd green lane, or a bit of wet grass. But I've seen them run out of ability very quickly. They're just not built for serious off roading. They don't even have a low range, let alone a proper four wheel drive system (which is different to an all wheel drive system).

Insurance companies are very strict on things like that. If you don't declare EVERYTHING that is non-standard, and you try to make a claim, your insurance will be declared invalid.
this is dope but the camera quality is eh or the bitrate on render. everything else on point! i thaught i was watching a britsh carviki or donut video or something
We had so many different cameras, the creators/RUclipsrs all had decent cameras but some of the staff had none so were using phones or dash cams. Over time we might be able to build up a decent selection of hardware, but as an insurance broker we only do these occasionally.
Great little car, shame about the clutch, otherwise I think it would have done well. Had it been running well, the only competition was the Grand Cherokee.
The inline 6 in the gran Cherokee is one of the best engines ever made.....the 4.7v8 is prone to bottom end problems.
Nothing wrong with the powertech 3.7/4.7 other then ppl not knowing how to take care of them. Keep the cooling system in top shape and keep up with the oil changes and it runs fine.

16:18 in a Range Rover and a Mercedes logo comes up 😂
EBay head unit….you get what you pay for 🙈
I clocked that too🤣
Lee’s has this win in the bag for sure, next wanna see an autobahn bruiser under £3k
The Jeep was very impressive, Idea is noted.
Course we won 😉
Roll on the next one!
Brilliant! Well done lads, it was good to see Adam C involved as well. Definitely going to be checking out green light insurance on my new car purchase in February.
Great challenge!! Lots of laughs! Next challenge should be building a drag race car
Love the idea, hopefully if the views keep coming in we shall do some more
This is the first video of yours I have seen. That was a lot of fun to watch!! I subscribed and rang the bell. Thank you for the video!!
Anyone else notice when they turned the range rover off that it had a Mercedes display unit 😅
These challenges keep getting better! Can't wait for the next one
Glad you like them! hopefully if the views keep coming in we shall do some more
£2.5k and no one bought a jimny 😳
Should've used 1500 on the car and the rest on proper wheels
Lmao the Range Rover when there turned the car off and on a ghetto Mercedes badge was on the dash 😂

Great to see @AdamC3046 out of his natural habitat 😁
I mean we defo won that :D wicked video guys....
Wow voting for your own team... lol

Argh Slindon safari loved spending my weekends down there I'd couls have shown u round in no time
Having watched this christmas top gear, this is 10 times better
Great video, was just like a mini top gear loved it keep up the amazing content 👍
Great weekend activity, chuck the kids in the back and head to a pay and play site a couple weekends a month. We have a freelander 2 and 3.5 v8 range rover.

Thanks Robert, glad you find them entertaining
very good show.. 1st time watcher.. much respect from New Zealand 🤙🏻
Blue team definitely won that 😂😂 quality video so glad I went with green light for insurance and they are so well priced super efficient and good guys thank you
I was so stressed watching winches used to tow and no winch blankets 😂 well done though fellas
Yellow peril all the way, also the passenger at 28:13 is pretty cute.
Cracks me up that the others are discussing tactics but Dave and Jake are just sat there 🤣
@@barryoutdoors sounds about right tbf. He wasn’t impressed I picked that moment 😂
How can anyone claiming to be a “car guy” look under the bonnet of a car and mistake a inline 6 for a V8???
Then proceeded to call it a v6
grand cherokees come in a i6 and a v8
i have a 08 Liberty/Cherokee. the next body style after that one. 4in lift with 32in tires. dual exhaust. snorkel box air box (to fire wall), 2021 wrangler JL front bumper swap, and so much more. they are great vehicles but nothing is available so everything is custom pain in the ass lol
What kind of tires are on that grand Cherokee
Jeep Cherokee? That looks like a liberty to me . It’s way to small for a Cherokee. Definitely a liberty. Really enjoyed that great job guys
It's called a Cherokee over here.
Great video gents, very entertaining!! keep em coming!
Great video. Looks like you had an awesome day 👍
So happy to see the WJ being used
You could have just rented mine, you insure it after all 🤣🤣
I particularly like the Mercedes splash screen on the infotainment display...... in a Range Rover WTF!!! a few dodgy modules in that thing for sure!!
😄😄😄 Great watch new sub, Love it at Slindon.
I have a good Challenge in the summer for you?
Buy a 2wheel drive vehicle on a low budget, make it as off-road capable as possible! Drive it to Wales and complete one of the lanes up there, (Maybe Strata Florida)? Some rough terrain, some water crossings all doable but a good Challenge.
It would make a great weekend adventure. I’d put forward a team for that 🤣🤣🤣 always wanted to do it. Great work guys loved it 👍🏻
16:19 why has the landrovers entertainment system a mercedes logo?????
@16:19 a Mercedes symbol on the screen of the land Rover?
Squad goals 👌👌
Just realised your at piccadilly woods for parts of it spent many weekends there with the yellow truck just need to learn how to drive em 🙃😅
Most Luxurious cheap car Challage
good idea, noted
You know 90% of Range Rovers made are still on the side of the road today.
Looked an amazing day, love the video
It was! thank you
i think its pretty funny they call what we call a liberty a Cherokee. the liberty was nothing compared to the cherokee
I thought the same thing!
Is the guy in the passengers seat 28:13 single? Asking for myself xoxo
Was that jeep on Facebook marketplace a while back? I’m sure I’ve seen it for sale before
We go up slindon regularly....it's great and on our door step......how much did John charge you for the site hire?
Just out of curiosity what car is the first one they show?
Pukka challenge guys. Top job 😂😂👏👏👏👏
Thank you Simon
I enjoy this and in the USA that second Jeep is a liberty. And a off-roader the grand Cherokee is a much better choice.
this looks like great fun!
Love this was brilliant to watch i think Jamie and rice shoud have won 🏆
Looks like great fun!! Fantastic idea
Anyone know where this offroad park is ?
Slindon Safari: www.4x4driving.co.uk/
The jeep would've looked sick if you spray painted the Nerf guns black.
Best challenge so far 👌😂
Thank you Simon, Its our favourite so far. Hopefully if the views keep coming in we shall do some more
@Greenlight Insurance fingers crossed, makes a good watch and who doesn't love messing about in the mud 😂
Did that Range Rover have a Mercedes startup screen on the infotainment system? Wtf lol. Yeah that thing is gonna be an electrical nightmare
I enjoyed watching that, if all you boys teamed up together, you could have a right fun crack at the Hill Rally next year.
Wait. They call that a cherokee there? We call that the jeep liberty
You also call trousers pants and think children should have guns..
How much for that jeep Cherokee? What Lee has? Am very interested mate? Cheers
What is the yellow one?
Don’t forget decent pull cables, if they snap they’re like a huge whip
Quality!
Love these challenges.
The winner has to go to will in the ford ranger I know he was not in the challenge but he seemed to have pulled all you out and then trailerd the yellow haha
My guy 😂❤️
Slightly over the budget but Will's Ranger was very impressive
@@will_4g634 I ageee 😂
Did y’all even take some air out of the tyres 😂😂😂good shit enjoyed the video 👍🏼
I thought the Halfords fella would have a bit more green on his 4x4

brilliant vid,really well done,
Also that year grand Cherokee would have had a 4.7 v8. You got lucky with getting a 4.0 much more reliable
Bro I swear that’s jack from love island the one who went on chunkz videos
Sick vid
To think I put a rear diff in the yellow fourtrack😊😂
Is every vehicle modification declared to insurance company???
Insurance companies are very strict on things like that. If you don't declare EVERYTHING that is non-standard, and you try to make a claim, your insurance will be declared invalid.
@@keithrushforth4019 . Yeah man, greenlight is an insurance company apparently. (Lol)
Not a problem in the US..... that stinks

Lmao this was great!
Should have aired down those tires, they look like rocks with how hard the are
Did anyone else notice the Mercedes logo when they turned the rangey off?
Hahaha brilliant!
Thank you glad you enjoyed it
That’s my old Daihatsu!!
Great little car, shame about the clutch, otherwise I think it would have done well. Had it been running well, the only competition was the Grand Cherokee.
@@barryoutdoors yeah class off road I remember laning it, go anywhere.
I want that jeep
The small jeep is a liberty in the usa and diesel are super rare and pekple pay stupid money for them here if 4x4 and turbo d
jeeps for the win. jeep life
Guys, where was this?!
Slindon Safari: www.4x4driving.co.uk/
Should've researched glass before you went out on the lanes looked up the rules and etiquette
off-roading is sure fun
Brilliant
Subscribed
Amazing off road.
Best off roader money can buy=Toyota Landcruiser and big nissan gu
whoever was driving that landrover.......god help you lol
Brill, would love to do this.
Suprised no1 actually got a defender or a disco
They're far too expensive now, so we couldn't find any within budget
I recently bought a disco 2 for £2600, wicked car!
Tell me you've NEVER been off-roading without telling me...
No, we haven't. That was the point ;)
That was hilarious
Adam c carried with the footage and commentary
