Jeep Driver Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I'm also not a fan of rock bouncing, however, I do watch occasionally. There really is nothing Comanche about Matt's Comanche, one thing is clear though, there is no substitute for V8 power. I keep reading and hearing about how perfect Jeep's 4.0 is for off-roading. Don't believe everything you hear or read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I miss Moab. it sure was a lot of fun the 4.0 does a great job of powering normal Jeeps on normal tires through normal offroading. but yes, torque is king and modern v8s have more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryno Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Its a pretty cool project. I`d probably like it a whole let better if he would have not butchered that nice truck bed like he did. Moab does look fun, don`t know that I`d take my `manche there though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 the best part of Moab is the variety of trails. there are trails that you can take a 2wd truck on! heck, there was a crown vic on the one trail when I was there. the scenery is awesome, the traction is phenomenal and it's something everyone should do at least once, even if that means flying in and renting a jeep. (there are companies out there that do organized trail runs in their wranglers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I don't know the going rate for the old scouts these days, but back then you could definitely have afforded that one. The guy pieced it together from a half-dozen other piles of scrap, I mean Scouts, that he had. It made the trip (kinda), but was a big hunk of rusty junk.

schardein Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I agree 100% with this post. I swapped my trusty 4.0 for a 5.3 solely to get better performance in daily driving scenarios like in town and on the highway. I didn’t expect much difference off road. Boy was I wrong.
