2 Dudes 1 Wrench Podcast - S01E02 - Jeep in 2024 & Wheels/Tires Discussion

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Welcome to the EPIC Adventure Outfitters Podcast, sweetly called "2 Dudes 1 Wrench". The title of this episode "Mud, Sweat and Lust - a Seductive Discussion on Jeeps in 2024".
In our sophomore episode, we have a excited discussion on the state of Jeep in 2024 covering such topics as why the new power seats suck, what we like about the new Willys Wrangler model and what we're leaning towards for our next shop Jeep build. We also cover off our thoughts on the tire and wheel industry and what we're looking forward to in late 24.
We're totally new at this Podcast thing, so it came as a huge surprise that we rocketed up the Podcast charts. Our last (and very first) episode went to #7 in Canada and #28 in the USA for the Automotive Category. Shocking... we know. Thanks to everyone who tuned in.
What to support the EPIC team? Cool beans. We appreciate you. Give our website a visit epic-4wd.com and buy an EPIC Kraken Tire Inflation System - built in house by Canadians of above-average intelligence.

You mentioned finding a diesel with the max tow package but I was of the understanding you couldn’t get max tow in the diesel and that max tow wasn’t even available on some models such as the Rubicon and I just don’t understand that.

Basically the automotive companies are barely hanging on with their fleet business, but that will soon dry up & we the consumers will benefit.

I have owned a Colorado ZR2 now for 5 years now and it’s been a great daily driver as well a great off-road vehicle. In my opinion for somebody who mainly uses their truck for everyday use and takes it to the woods to play on weekends it is a very good option with its rear and front lockers the truck is truly a good on and off-road performer

    Thanks for watching and commenting. We're Jeep and RAM guys here and our specialty is late model versions of those brands. We drive them daily, test equipment and recommend from personal daily/off-road experience. The only way we would do another vehicle brand would be to buy one ourselves and then test out various aftermarket products for a year to become properly informed. That's our unique approach that nobody else does in our area of the world. All that being said, every day people ask us to work on their XYZ vehicle and we do keep track - such that if we branch out to another brand, we know it will be sustainable for us.

    Great episode gents. So far really enjoying the content. I’m one of your Australian viewers, but I’m also an ex-BC boy (Vancouver Island), so like to keep up on the scene back there. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on legalities and restrictions on lifts and mods. Over here in Oz it’s crazy. For any vehicle with ESC you can only do a 2” lift and 2” taller tire before you need full engineering (thousands and thousands of dollars) and even then it’s almost impossible to get done. I can’t legally run 37s on my Gladiator, which is beyond stupid. Your thoughts??

    Thanks and hello to Australia! We have laws and limits here, but nothing like your area of the world. I would be sad to have a Gladiator on 35s. 37s/38s/40s are the norm in our shop. We'll touch on this subject in a later episode for sure! Cheers from the team at EPIC!

    @@EPIC-4WD it gets worse… we don’t even get the 33s on our Jeeps over here. Biggest is 32s, so max legal upgrade is 34s (305/70r17). 34s (and even 35s) make me sad too, so I run 37s on mine a lot of the time regardless of them being “non-compliant”. Life’s too short for 34/35s. 😁

    What's your opinion on factory Rubicon wheels on a JL with 35s. I bought my Jeep and it had black rhino wheels on it. They're like the heaviest wheels on the market and I've recently gone through a weight loss phase with my Jeep trying to be more of an overlander instead of an overloader. Just wondered your thoughts on the durability of running the factory Rubicon wheels

  • @EPIC-4WD

    @EPIC-4WD

    3 ай бұрын

    According to most tire manufactures, a 12.5" wide tire requires a minimum wheel width of 8" and up. A factory Rubicon Wheel (non-recon) is only 7.5" wide. While you could do this setup, it's not recommended and we personally would not do it. Cheers from the team at EPIC!

    Not a fan of snorkels. Most people misunderstand snorkels and what they actually do and don't do. We've been wheeling all over the continent in all types of environments , including sand, dust storms, snow storms, deep water, etc. And we've never once said "geez, if only I had a snorkel". We've also had many friends and team members that have run snorkels, so we've seen the positives and negatives. That being said, many people love them and swear by them ;-) Cheers from the team at EPIC!

    Hi, who cares about Toyota oversized American built Ute’s the Land Cruiser 70 series are superior and available most of the world, of course the US and Canada have legislated to higher pollution standards. Designs were required for their markets. If enough people started asking for decent wheel drive, I’m sure Toyota would manufacture it for the US too.
