  • Jeep dont suck ass I want one! Swap nissan frontier for 4dr wrangler

  • 2:08 scraped

  • Jeeps suck Ass! Anyone who argues with me likes to suck ass...

  • @Provic90594

    Do you find that you feel ashamed after you've sucked a sphincter but you can't stop thinking about getting your tongue on more of them?

    You should think about finding a support group to help you with your ass fetish.

  • @Provic90594 I don't need to argue. I don't argue with idiots. Good luck in your freaking prius

  • how is the transfer lever holding up i heard it breaks if you use your 4wd a lot I know it did on two on mine, seems there is cheap linkage fastener that only holds the the cable shifter so if breaks while your shifting your stuck in low gear or worse neutral and you aint going no where , so someone please address this please.

  • SSOOOOOOO easy to mod

  • So it has more power now but the real questions is, did Chrysler put the correct size bolts in the suspension finally?

  • DID HE SAY ICONIC SHIT??0:10

  • Nice :)

  • 2L~ TDI Diesel!!! NOW!!! Just do it FFS!

  • Legendary.

  • Diesel wrangler Diesel wrangler Diesel wrangler Diesel wrangler they need to bring it to the US.

  • i feel for you yanks ..as ive got a diesel jk wrangler and all you have is petrol ..as im in australia

  • @xDRAPHTx

    First of all "yanks" is not a nice thing to say. But yes you guys are lucky that you have diesel Jeeps.

  • @sherwoodparking diesel in USA sep .grand cherokee to start with then hopefully wrangler soon after.

  • i might get this for my first car!!!! :DDDD

  • @Strawberry1139 same here man, that or a 4bt wrangler so hype

  • @awinski999 i know but unfortunately, i can't anymore. apparently it takes up too much gas and isn't really safe... plus the insurance is super expensive! i'd be better off with a mustang! which is my second choice :P good luck getting that though :)!

  • @Strawberry1139 oh well i mean they get better gas than the jeep im driving now. so thatll be a step up and insurance will be less if you get a hard top

  • Well i guess its time to trade in the 2011 than.

  • ive beenwanting this jeep ever since my friend got one in 2008,now tomorrow im geting it:) feels good

  • I'm still waiting for an SRT8 Wrangler, and I'm getting old Chrysler Corp!

  • @sickjohnson srt8 wrangler? i don't think that will ever happen unless they confirmed it already.

  • يلوموني فيك يابعد من تهيا َ

  • I'm 15 and my goal is to HAVE THIS JEEP!

  • These jeeps suck

  • bring back the 242 4.0L inline six!

    better yet! make a production diesel wrangler for the united states!

  • @azminivanracer As much as I love the 4.0, the new engine is WAY more powerful and more efficient.

  • @taypuc31 agreed. my buddy Just got a JKU with the new 3.6. the only question marks my buddy and I have are more along the lines of how do you work on this engine? sure at the end of the day they are all nuts and bolts...but the 3.6 is so much more complicated than the 3.8 or the 4.0...

    other than that, I love it.

  • @azminivanracer it's definitely more complicated yes. My dad has an '07 4 door with the 3.7 and my brother has a grand cherokee with the 4.0 The 4.0 is WAY more simple to work on.

  • the engine on the 2007-present Jeep Wrangler/ Jeep J8 (Egypt)/ Jeep TJL-J8 (Egypt)

    Engine

    3.8 L EGH V6

    3.6L Pentastar V6

  • Most of you people talking about the little euro diesels ,saying that diesel is not reliable well maybe you should try a Cummins 4BT or the 6BT these motors will last you a life time if , you take care of them.

  • first drive ...and front bumper damaged!

    dear jeep.. you better modify or change that for real jeep materials

  • I love jeep wrangler hummar is very bad

  • Id take a HUMMER over that! SPECIALLY A H1!

  • @TechFanatic555 Then you'll be getting stuck while the Jeep drives around you.

  • @astrak1001 Jeep is nothing compared to a H1.

  • @TechFanatic555 Okay....pretty silly comparison when you consider the price of a H1. With the jeep you're paying 70k less.

  • why is it more fun to drive?

  • @beaver639 better acceleration i think

  • only Dodge Product id buy

  • V8 Diesel. Please. 

  • @kop4321 Be to heavy, they have a V6 Diesel in Europe and Australia so if enough people want it they can bring it here no problem

  • @kop4321 V8??? Thats stupid!

  • @OdinsCloud

    Hey its okay, you can continue driving your Prius, i won't judge you.

  • @kop4321 Prius??? LOL! I would never buy a Prius. I have Volkswagon TDI that gets as much as 50 MPG. 360,000 miles on it and very few issues. Still boast great compression, I expect many more miles.

  • @OdinsCloud

    I would love an Unlimited Wrangler with a V8 diesel, it would be near unstoppable on trails, and great for towing.

  • @kop4321 a V8 diesel would suck. an inline 4 or 6 diesel would do the best.

  • hows the leg room in the 2-door?

  • I'd like to know what they're smoking at Motor Trend magazine and if I can have some.

    In the new "suv of the year competition", they listed the Unlimited Sahara, hardtop AUTOMATIC transmission, as being .01 seconds slower to 60 mph than the TWO DOOR MANUAL with a friggin soft top. Are they out of their minds???? The 4 door unlimited is almost 1000 lbs heavier then the 2 door.

    It blows my mind that Motor Trend could make such an error, in not only their magazine, but also on their site.

  • no V8? wtf?

  • does it honestly make that much of a difference to the 2011? I know 2011 is slow, but its a Jeep! I have not got one yet, but when the 2012 is released here in Australia the 2 door Sport will start at 39k, for a unlimited sport it will be 43k and add another 4k onto that if you want diesel. I was thinking of just buying a 2011 Unlimited used when people want to get rid of theirs to upgrade, will I be happy with this decision? It will be my daily driver to and from work, just worry about size.

  • jeep

  • Now if they only will put the diesel in the 2013, I will buy.

  • @JonathanDP81 the grand cherokee gets diesel for 2013,hopefully wrangler will follow

    cheers

  • its about fucking time.........will buy.

  • yea but that soft top is not fun to take down and put up... they need some Japanese engineers to help them with it.

  • I have wanted a wrangler forever, thing is I only like the JK 2 door but it is not a viable option :( I need to carry passengers and a kayak, and for going away on holidays the 2 door would be too small. The 4 door just seems like it will be a pain in the ass because it looks so big and bulky, not so great driving in the city.

  • Still needs a min 2 inch lift and should come with 35 inch tires

  • Impressive improvements, and hopefully they've improved on its bad gas mileage reputation. Can we have a test run using Mattracks?

  • Woooo!!!!! Love the new Jeep Wrangler 2012!! I have a 08', even that is AMAZING

  • And Yet you people at MT did not even blink twice when it came down to SUV Of The YEAR what a bunch of Hippocrits you Praise Jeeps overwhelmingly but do not give the the deserved allcolades I think The Unsubscribe button does indeed look good right about now

  • 1:44 the red one (bom)

  • me want diesel

  • I love pentastar its like nissans VQ engine but not in a wrangler maybe the charger, in this you need the large dispacement turbo inline 4, aka the 2.8 lol

  • I cant believe oter auto brands with their family SUV's claiming their off roaders, this is the best looking true offroad vehicle in production i mean look at the wrangler it looks like a true 4x4, has a frame, a longitudely mounted engine, removable panels, simple features, love it, when it comes here with the diesel in the next 2 years I'll buy one

  • 0-60 in 6.7

  • Comment removed

  • All i can say is YUP!

  • ..then what? i guess folks would complain about the v8 sucking gas!!! want a v8,get a g.cherokee or a land rover....

  • soo what about the garbage power steering gear box? hopefully this one aint shit like the past jk's

  • I like the inline 6 but sadly not on this model but the v6 is just as good

  • Give me a gutted JK with a MT diesel and at a minimum Danna 44's front and back and around 25k MSRP.

  • screw v8!!!! Power like that blows how about diesel motor jeep patriot gets in europe!!!!! 40mpg would be killer!

  • this is fucking gay! need a v8!

  • 0-60 is 6.7 seconds.

  • Thats a nice looking trail , but too much for my Suzuki , so therefore i need to buy a Wrangler....i wish.

  • @MrAntiFarLeft The old Suzuki would have done it. Pre Vitara.

  • @MrAntiFarLeft

    Buy a Defender.

  • this isnt a sports car dueches , this is a Jeep, it's made to go where man isnt supposed to go !! If you want speed buy a Vette !!

  • so how fast did they said this thing goes?

  • 0-60 haha, its a fcukin jeep who cares. It's allergic to asphalt anyways.

  • Cool updates for 2012

  • 0-60 6.7

    1/4 mile 15.3

    

  • Come on 2013 for HEMI or Diesel option

  • very cool video, i loved watching the jeep plow through the stream

  • olllllllo

  • not better than 2011 Ford Explorer,Toyota FJ Cruiser,Jeep Grand Cherokee,Toyota Land Cruiser as an Off-Road SUVs .

  • @m6rees if it wasn't for the Jeep Wrangler, there really wouldn't any offroad suvs!!! And you include the Ford Explorer? That thing is nothing but a crossover now. The Land Crusier? How many of those were sold last yeat,like less than 10,000? Didn't even know that it still even existed! The FJ crusier...bullshit! The FJ 40 is still better, but was heavily influenced by the Jeep CJ and others like it. Anyway you slice it, most suvs these days take their traces from the willy's jeep from WWII!

  • @RJBbass2000 check your private messages

  • @m6rees 2011 Ford Explorer is NOT off raod worthy and you listed over priced bullshit. Yes the new GC is overpriced. The Wrangler is king off road. Coming from a guy with a ZJ and a FIRST gen explorer

  • I hate the new jeeps ... I MISS MY DADS 2004 sport :(..

  • I hate the color matching tops! I think they look so UGLY... BLACK TOPS LOOK BETTER!!

  • hahahaha its like watching a liter of new puppies run around :D

  • soooo much better the '95 interior was getting a little old lol.

  • When is the diesel Jeep coming?

  • WHERE THE FUCK IS THE 4.0L INLINE 6?!?!!!!!?

  • @MrSweetleaf92 I know right ? My buddy just bought a 4 door one and I beat him with my 4 door 4wd Cherokee by over a car to 60-70 mph, he has been getting 14 mpg, I get 16 mpg. His doesn't have the low end but it pulls okay on the top end. Whats the point of this new engine when the 4.0 is just as good or better.

  • @98MAzdaMilleniaS My Point also my 95 JGC with 290k on the Odometer is still kicking butt , My Plan is to buy a New Wrangler and do an engine swap only it will be with a Stroked I6 it will Put out the same HP as the newe V6 but will excel in Low end Torque

  • @98MAzdaMilleniaS the wranglers are geared lower than the cherokee. Thats why they have 6 gears.

  • @98MAzdaMilleniaS your cherokee is 1,000 pounds lighter

  • @Lukeatone And it has 100 less horsepower ?

  • @98MAzdaMilleniaS 28" tall tires vs 32"tires.,full sized vs sub compacted. MPG is based on how you drive most of the time. My buddy has a 4door and get 19mpg.

  • @Lukeatone I have 30 inch Revo A/T's... and it's 28.5 stock. And he has 100 more hp and a newer trans with more gears and a 7k rpm redline, what's your point ?

  • @98MAzdaMilleniaS Imagine putting the money you would normally spend on a new 2012 Wrangler and instead put that money on some Cherokee upgrades.... Its a no brainier. That 4.0 is one sweet die hard engine.

  • @indianajoels a brand new jeep and a used h1 is almost the same..

  • @TechFanatic555 Yeah, some guy down the way from where I live seems to always have Mil-Spec H1's for sale. Not to mention the diesel V-8's in those are die hard. The only way I would ever but a 2012 Wranger would be to wait to see how reliable the Pentastar is then buy one in 2017. Besides the interior is so garish... Wouldn't think of getting it dirty... 

  • @MrSweetleaf92 Not needed as the new pentastar is a better engine, providing more HP, Torque, and better fuel consumption rating than the old 4.0 v6.

  • @Theologist the old jeeps had Inline 6 cylinders

  • @MrSweetleaf92 -- GONE replaced by a better, lighter, more powerful motor you stupid fuckig tool.

  • @ScLeCo Please inform me how im a "Tool" for asking a question

  • @MrSweetleaf92 You're not...dont worry about that dousche...im real interested in jeeps now and plan on dropping the cash on one..so im asking alot of questions...sometimes people will answer you by insulting you...idk why. its like they feel you should already know the answer and think your stupid for not knowing...dumbasses.. haha..good day!

  • @ScLeCo oh and you spelled "Fucking" wrong

  • Is this jeep the only Pentastar available with a stick shift? ARE they retarded?

  • @Sturmgewehr4 I think most have the auto shift. I drove a Grand Cherokee in that configuration and it was just fine.

  • SRT8 already !

  • i would drive a jeep cuz the windows are plastic, anyone can slash your window open and jack your shit . . i wouldnt mind an old jeep, the real jeeps, lifted with some rust on it ;D

  • changing the V8 for a V6, big mistake!

  • @XenoRacing

    The wrangler never had a V8... the old engine was the 3.8L from the chrysler minivans...

  • @xoquixxoqafxo Meant jeeps in general. like the CJ with the amc 302 cid. My dad has a YJ sahara with a LA360 chrysler bus motor swap.

  • If I won the lottery, I wouldn't drive a Mercedes... give me a Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon! Oh, in red of course. :-)

  • It's a Jeep thing, you just wouldn't understand.

  • Jeep needs a hemi. Same company, y not??

  • v v t only

    

  • i wish they would have shown more off road driving.

  • please jeep... stop the interior quality and on road handling bullshit and throw a V8 in that bitch :) 

  • @2jzsupra4life you can always upgrade it yourself ;)

  • @2jzsupra4life For what it's worth, that Pentastar has the same HP rating as the H.O. 4.7, although considerably less torque. But I wonder how the difference in torque a reasonable V8 option would produce would relate to the extra weight it may entail.

  • @2jzsupra4life Hahaha sounds like a typical American comment. "Just build a cheapened piece of junk that rattles and falls apart like GMs new products, And a majority of US vehicles, but as long as it has a big V8 it's okay!!!" :D Jeeps are still great off road, but I'm glad they're now focusing on quality and refinement; thanks Fiat :D, reason why the Toyota 4Runner outsells the wrangler, it's as good if not better off road, extremely reliable, and is more refined.

  • @Zinizzle well i dont know if you see my username but im not just a v8 fan XD cmon man do you need the interior and the quietness of a Rols Royce to go offroad XD hahah thanks Fiat ... well thank for giving the new jeep a new dash and stearing wheel that you dont even pay attention exept when you are a mall crowler...

  • @Zinizzle lol at the better off road? really? have you driven both? cuz i have....and there's no way the 4runner even comes close to what the stock jeep can do. us real jeep owners dont care much for the interior. "refined" or not, as long as i can crawl over a rock, and water ford on the trail, i don't care what the inside looks like. none of my wranglers have ever broken down on me due to Chrysler's fault. it's always driver's fault. i will be a jeep owner for life.

  • @robertjunkim thanks for breaking that down cuz most people don't know anything,ha! They don't realize that if it wasn't for the original Willy's Jeep, there wouldn't be anything like what we see today. Look at Land Rover, Maurice Wilks who began the brand back in the late 1940s basically took the ideas from a Willy's Jeep he drove.

    But for someone to compare a 4runner to a Jeep Wrangler? The Wrangler has always been the same look and had the same offroad capabilities!!!

  • @2jzsupra4life If a V8 was supposed to in it, they would have kept it instead of replacing it with a V6.

  • @scott8919 cmon people whats up with all the v8 haters ! dont tell me you dont like at lest the sound of it ! wakes me up and makes me happy every morning :)

  • @2jzsupra4life

    Would be nice to see Jeep offer a diesel engine option too.

  • @BrainBordom like a cummins ;)

  • @BrainBordom They sell them in Europe with a 2.8Litre Diesel, but because of some government regulation shit they can't bring them over here.

  • @BrainBordom Heck yea take on the H1

  • @BrainBordom Wanna know the funniest thing ? Europe has the CDI version of the JK.

  • @0702029 Well, if you would want to know what is really "funny", than its the fact that in Europe we have the diesel, but only the diesel (we do not have the option of V6 3.6 Rubicon at all). And while you are moaning about not beeing able to get Wrangler in diesel, I would like to get it in V6 3.6, but I cant...

  • @cactuss77 Let's both buy one and import them to ourselves ;P

  • @cactuss77 Why, Why would you or anyone want a V6 3.6 over the Diesel. Especially in Europe. Efficiency, longevity much better with Diesel.

  • @OdinsCloud I am kind of fed up with the characteristics the diesel engines have. I actually have only one diesel car in my fleet and thats the one I havent bought:-) Besides if you are mentioning the longlevity, than you are speaking about petrol, since diesels are more prone to failures over long run - if Id go for an older 2nd hand car, no way I would risk it with diesel. One way or another, big petrol w/o charging thats the way I like it (except the moments when I have to refill them:-)

  • @cactuss77 well my mums 1997 ford mondeo which did over 220,000 miles without any other work other then a general service now and then only reason she gave it up was she wanted something smaller :-P so dont paint them all with the same brush haha

  • @cactuss77 I have a TDI that is heading towards 400,000 miles without any major issue. I have a Diesel Mercedes heading towards 1000,000 miles without an engine issue. We had a Volvo Diesel that was sold with 700,000 miles on it. I have never had or seen a petrol vehicle that ran that long without being in need of a rebuild. Low RPM power off road is much higher with a Diesel & so is your range. In addition you can use various oils as fuel.

  • Well lucky you guys:-) My issues with diesel may actually come from my bias torwards track racing, but my relation torwards diesels certainly wasnt helped when my Toyota got me stuck after a chillly night in the mountains (the engine refused to start due to weak glow plugs).

  • @cactuss77 I also heard a lot of stories about stuck beemers (with 3.0D engine) due to common rail pump issues etc. I am not saying that diesel with autobox isnt good for offroading, All I am saying that I prefer the way of big petrol engines, which offer sufficient low torques as well:-)

  • Comment removed

  • @BrainBordom

    They do have diesel Jeeps in other parts of the world. They don't offer them in the US because our government is retarded and the manufacturers are too lazy to meet the stupid standards set by the government. Diesel also has a public stigma of being loud, sluggish polluters that belong on farm equipment and heavy duty vehicles. If only more European manufacturers could bring their diesel models over and show how great they are, domestic companies would step up their game.

  • @metalbeast99

    Oh I know they have a diesel version elsewhere in the world. But, seeing as I live in Canada, that doesn't help me much....hehe. I really hope we see a good diesel version for North America in the next year or two. I would most certainly buy one if they did.

  • Comment removed

  • @BrainBordom

    they do in Europe... 2.8CRD

  • @BrainBordom they do in Australia so it wouldnt take much for them to bring it here

  • @BrainBordom Dude, in Europe they have been selling diesel versions for years. I believe it is about to come to the States.

  • @2jzsupra4life fuck that i want a diesel

  • @2jzsupra4life LMAO i know!

  • @mayback6536 and if it wasn't for Jeep, there would be no Land Rover company. Go do some research on Maurice Wilks and find out where his idea for the Range Rover came from!!!

  • @maybach6536 I don't think nobody here gives a crap about an overpriced suv like the Range Rover. When it comes to repairs, Jeep parts are availible, and you don't have to wait for weeks like a Range Rover.

    And wow, how many times has Land Rover been tossed around like a whore amongst pimps, from parent company to parent company? Get out of here with that Range Rover crap!!!

  • Awesome I love it!

  • o man that interior looks alot better...

  • @xxstaggerxx

    I take my word back. Its actually 6.7 seconds according to motortrend. U r still wrong :) u better quit ur job.

  • @xxstaggerxx

    Its about 6 to 7 seconds according to insideline u dumbass

  • A very nice and well done piece on the car.
