2007 JK Wrangler X-Stock Capabilities

[estudio100rafa]

very nice capabilities for a stock, made me feel good about my stock JK :)

[muellerpk]

i had a 09 wrangler x 6 speed on 35s, i sold it because the engine is so fucking weak. I mean that thing was dangerously slow, it took like 17 seconds to hit 60 redlining it every gear

[EarWormSound]

@muellerpk 35's on an X with 3.21 gears is half the reason you are slow... i agree though, they are slow.. but put different gears in and you will notice a dramatic difference off the line

[irag82]

I just want to thank jeep for building my wrangler X, I'm in love with jeep....

[dsm664]

I love watching these things wheel with stock SRAs and 16" wheels, not only because that's what I'm running on mine, but how well they do with the worst of equipment.

[fattygio]

tell that to youtube.. i had a song playing in the background and they deleted my soundtrack and put this shit on...

[webmoov]

Would be better without the dorky music so we can hear the Jeep working!

[Sarcasticscum]

I've owned a couple Jeeps in my day ('92 Renegade. '99 Cherokee Limited, 2002 Wrangler Rubicon), and I currently own a '79 CJ7 Golden Eagler, and a 2004 Wrangler Unlimited. I've always been satisfied with Jeep products until I purchased a 2008 Wrangler Rubicon... What the hell happened to Jeep?? That 3.8 is sluggish, to say the least, and almost every panel on the damn thing was plastic! The only Jeep I've ever returned. Sadly, it looks like Jeep is moving in a bad direction.

[Tbomb187]

@Sarcasticscum They didn't make a Rubicon in 2002, Rubicons weren't sold until late into 2003... tell us more lies

[Easy081762]

Hi! What a video! Great! Can you send me information on how to disconnect the sway bar. Is it easy? Can I do it off road? Is it easy to reattach after? Any help would be great. Thanks Dan.

[sumner08]

What state is Hale creek and v-Rock in?

[09adge13]

thats real skill. not hating on lifted rides( i hope to lift my yj soon) but driving a stock wrangler in off road takes some skill

[zjbeast]

Anyone know if I can fit 30's or 31's on a stock 06 jeep wrangler?

[kddcc]

@zjbeast i fit 32's on my 2005 wrangler. lol 31's fit great and perfectly on a nonlifted wrangler!

[sicklogick]

@zjbeast i have 31's on my '02, same as the '06...i have 2" coil spacers on it but the tires fit no problem without them

[stlfan06]

those stock wheels and tires are hideous!

[fattygio]

you should see it now, its dope

[20BIGMEECH]

@fattygio yeahy dude my dads jeep (in 13) had jeep wheels not like yours he kept thos put a 2 inch lift and 35 inch tires, there are called nitto trail grapplers its dope!!

[fattygio]

just pull the bolts and nuts off and tie the sway bar out of the way

[DEVILSEBASTIAN]

whats kia ? kia sportage jajajaja no no no no

[mpower325i]

where was that in bc ??

[fattygio]

near harrison lake outside of mission

[donthatebrother]

do the stock 2007 jeep wrangler comes with the shit to disconnect the sway bars manually or do you have to go buy a kit?

[fattygio]

They just come off with a socket and a wrench

[TheElPapo]

rubi does shara and X don't

[USAMALIK56]

WOW! Great bit of spotting and driving there. Show me another stock vehicle that can do that.

[Duskydriver]

If it'll do that stock, imagine what fun you'll have with a lift, tires, and rims!

[4x4inghockeychick]

Im jealous

[LotzStrauss]

LOL @ Kia sportage ...over a Jeep... LOL.

[fattygio]

its got brake lock diff, basically open diff but it works like a limited slip

[someperson933]

as rightfully deserved, a lot crawler just got half of what he rightfully deserved. only thing to top it off is for him to take his "sportage" out to hale creek and top this (not doable, and ill bet 48 beers on it too)

[newfie8]

Fattyqio or anyone else that got a jeep, Seriously thinking about buying the new wrangler x and i was just wondering whats your overall take on them regards to everyday driving and fuel consumption and well i can see there the real deal offroading! Drop me a line.

[jerseydrunk]

I bought a 2-door '08 JK just before Thanksgiving and it's been better than expected on fuel consumption. Right now, I'm averaging slightly over 20 MPG (although I'd say about 70% of my driving is over 40 MPH). Add some mods like a cold air intake (and throttle body spacer perhaps) and you're almost guaranteed to do over 20 MPG.

[19XJ89]

And on stock tires to boot! Good on ya!

[19XJ89]

Ha ha ha, a Kia?? C'mon man you gotta be joking! If a an '07 JK struggled with Hale that Kia would be nothing but sobs and crying by the time you got halfway through. Bring a tow truck with a dolly to get it home after some Unimog drags your broken carcass outta there LOL. Has to be a Joke ... seriously.

[Bmarly]

Friggin Jeeps rule. Hands down!!

[dainger15]

Hahaha, are you serious!? A Kia better then a Jeep? I don't think so. Music on this video is awesome btw.

[adgraybda]

did somebody really just promote a KIA ove a jeep? wow..

[fattygio]

Yeah ok!! lol

While you go get groceries in your oversized car, I'll be on the trail.

[gopedmaniac1]

Jeep's rule

[gopedmaniac1]

Kia sportage's stock cant do nearly as good of off road as a stock jeep wrangler.

[Search4Goods10]

@gopedmaniac1 lol sportages arnt ment to touch wranglers, sportages are only good for driving around in the winter after a snowfall, or say you have a small flood, it could probley get you around, wranglers are more for heavy shit lol, wranglers are amazingg

[SebastianLong]

@gopedmaniac1 yeah?...tell me how they do when you snap a cv axleshaft and have to have a towtruck drive to where you were "wheelin"...ive snapped axles and driveshafts in my jeep and it still got me home

[SebastianLong]

@gopedmaniac1 oops...my bad...missed the T...thought it said kias did just as good as the wrangler

[johnson200gw]

@gopedmaniac1 you must be kidding ha ha! ya and the might make it the first time around... try over and over and over and really push the vehicle to its limits such as MOAB... yeah try that in your KIA ((JAPSCRAP ANYONE))

[47willyscj2a]

Great run, and great spotter man!!!

[fattygio]

sorry.. you're correct... dana30

cheers

matt

[galaxian00]

Its always harder than it looks. the camera makes everything seem level and 2d. Wait till its your Jeep and your depending on that as your ride home. Its a FUN sport though... =(O|||||||O)=

[playa4life99]

Damn, I just bought that jeep with the hard top and 4.10 rear end. Can't wait to get out there.

[Mbalto]

Now that is real 4-wheeling. I must be harder than it looks due to the camera. I love how people criticize these films after watching this low resolution film. I would love to see half the pavement pounders in my town and the hummers do that. Real four wheeling is taking stock vehicles or almost stock to remote locations while still able to do 75mph. Big lifted trucks are just for show or crawling over that big rock that you can go around. I love jeeps even though I drive Toyota.

[possumface]

stock x that was amazing, gotta love the flex .

[JazzJeep]

that was pretty good for stock tires

[fattygio]

16" steelies.. 28" tires.. just stock

[flight2k5]

uuhh rims dont make a vehicle offroad any better.

[fattygio]

who said they did?

[flight2k5]

the way you typed

"16" steelies 28" tires" blah blah blah

[fattygio]

because most jk's have 17" rims with 32's or 33's.. and yeah Steel don't bend

[jattu78]

you need lockers to do serious offroading and rock crawling

[fattygio]

yeah no shit

[jattu78]

you can have fun doin rock crawling without lockers and the gear ratio i bet is 3.07:1 on the X thats not good for serious offroad but they are still better that most of the trucks and suvs

[kike082]

awesome video ! love my jk. very capable !

[debnty]

where in B.C. is that?

[fattygio]

That is in 4L but thx for the advice.. no lockers.. just brake diff lockers that come stock on X wrangler this year.

[joshg302]

What axel gear ratios does it have?

[fattygio]

3.23 i believe

[Triple88a]

check man.. crawl under lol and look :) Loving it though :)mine is 00 TJ 4.0 5speed

[rich0585]

wow... those are almost car ratios right there, Open diff wonder I see as well...

[nosyiam]

no they got 4.10

[fattygio]

stock X don't...not unless you get the auto with towing package or upgrade it

[SarzillaStudios]

HEY!! Loved the Vid. I recently bought an 07 X (2 days ago). I was searching for what my capabilities are on the web for 2 days. I'm glad I saw this vid. I wont be doin 25% of the stuff you did on this vid, but it gives me a peace of mind to know what it is capable of. Now this is completely stock, but did you get the Dana 45 Axles or any sort of upgrades from the Dealer? I bought mine completely bottom of the line.

[fattygio]

assuming your X is a 6 speed, it comes with a Dana 44 in the rear.. dana35 in the front... stock

[SarzillaStudios]

yea v6 3.8l, 6 spd. Wow I'm even happier now!! even tho I havent gone offroading yet, other than a curb here and there.

[fattygio]

3.21 i think or 3.23? check jeep.c o m.. its base model x, 6 speed

[fattygio]

its music.. good tune too

[djathens2]

Quite the labor of love.
