A stock Jeep Wrangler TJ Rubicon takes on a stock Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon on Moab's Fins & Things to see which performs better off-road. We compare functional off-road angles/ground clearance, Traction, Maneuverability, Slow Speed Crawling (important for rock obstacles), Value/Price, Comfort, Fuel Use, Fun Factor/Enagaement, Stock Protection, and Trail Fixability. This is also an Updated Trail Guide of Fin and Things Moab.
The TJ Rubicon is the first generation Rubicon made from 2003-2006. Some consider the TJ the greatest wrangler ever made. The JL Rubicon is the latest Rubicon (3rd generation) and is supposed to be greatest wrangler ever made. So which is it? Both Rubicons are stock with manual transmissions, 6 cyclinder engines, and have no mods. Stock is the way to test two Jeeps as anyone can build any generation Jeep to beat another generation of Jeep. To avoid driver differences, I drove both Jeeps with similar tiredness (worked an overnight 12 hour shift and then went filming on my rest). I love both Jeeps so I truly didn't care which one performed better, but this surprised me. I have had 4 TJs and 3 Modern Jeeps (2 JKs, 1 JL) so I feel like I know them well.

About Colorado Mallcrawlers:
We are a channel that aims to show incredible off-road trails and our adventures to get through them with stock or your not so typical off-road vehicles. If that sounds like a fun watch, we'd love to have you as a subscriber! The channel membership was created to give our community the best trail info on youtube quicker since trail/overland guides take a while to create. Video Editors are Drew Hunter and Dewie Jones. We're always looking for more offroad video editors as we film a ton of trails (100% of adsense goes to the editor).
Channel Members have access to our filming schedule and I want you to be in the videos! The Black Bear crew gets additional easy to edit videos but offer more up to date info on trails (since guides take a while to put together). The Holy Cross crew gets more say in what videos get edited for the channel (video credits and early looks at Trail Guide edits). [ Ссылка ]
TrailsOffroad:
This channel is my creative outlet so I don't need to push stuff out to people. I will promote TrailsOffroad because OnX has bought out everyone else. Watch my OnX vs TrailsOffroad video to see the differences. Do the trial first to make sure they have trails in your area, if so, then use our affiliate code for a big discount.
