if you're not able to get into camp Jeep
0:03
in your area we have a little video that
0:05
takes you through it on two different
0:08
Jeeps this year the course is a little
0:10
tougher than before so it's only
0:12
Wranglers and Gladiators no other Jeeps
0:14
allowed so let's get started this is a
0:17
392 so 64 V8 Hemi pack engine i just
0:21
turned on the active exhaust as well too
0:23
so you can kind of hear what we got
0:24
going so is that like cutouts the active
0:26
exhaust um I would assume so i'm not too
0:29
sure though i'd ask the product
0:30
specialist inside they'd have a better
0:32
idea for you so we should be right
0:34
around 20 to 25° on that screen in front
0:37
on the roll got a low center of gravity
0:39
to be able to do stuff like this and
0:41
then we have an electronic sway bar
0:42
disconnect which is a button by your
0:44
lockers will give you anywhere between
0:45
20 and 30% more wheel travel in your
0:48
front end so it really just lets you
0:49
flex over stuff like this break over a
0:51
lot
0:53
easier now for our big boy so we're
0:56
going to be in between 40 and 44 degrees
0:58
at the very top of this i just put it in
1:00
first gear which is a personal
1:01
preference but helps us go up a little
1:03
bit slower up we go
1:09
now this is all-wheel drive it's not
1:11
like this it's four-wheel it has a like
1:14
the Which transfer case is that a 242
1:17
yeah we have a Rock Track uh transfer
1:18
case that's going to be on all your
1:19
Rivon just the 242 yeah okay
1:23
and that's just light brake pressure on
1:25
the way down first gear but you also
1:26
have a hill descent you can use if you
1:28
wanted a little extra from the outside
1:31
you can see just how tall this track is
1:34
it is quite tall and it's quite steep
1:36
actually last year we weren't able to do
1:38
it because it was raining out and so
1:40
they weren't running cars on a metal
1:43
track you can see why especially that is
1:46
one steep track
1:49
so it's a lot of fun to do the Camp Jeep
1:52
experience even though it's really short
1:54
motor it's probably gonna use mainly
1:55
electric as we go around maybe a little
1:57
bit of
1:58
gas okay so I'm using the yellow guides
2:01
on the screen they show me where the
2:02
front wheel is going to go so I can line
2:03
it up make sure we go right down the
2:05
middle of
2:07
there to the off camber this one uses
2:11
about 15 in of our suspension travel so
2:13
with the Wrangler it's no problem keeps
2:14
the wheels on the ground as we go over
2:16
this
2:18
drops us side to
2:21
side onto the side so next so we're
2:23
going to lean over quite a bit you'll
2:24
see the angle on the screen there got a
2:26
low center of gravity so over here we
2:29
go usually lean a little bit more
2:32
towards the end so there we are just
2:35
touching
2:37
32° onto the breakover so with this
2:40
being the Rubicon we got the electronic
2:41
sway bar disconnect down here that
2:44
disconnects the sway bar on the front
2:45
axle this extra 25% suspension travel so
2:48
it means we can keep the wheels on the
2:50
ground as we go over here it's about 18
2:52
in we're using just touching the ground
2:55
still and then front camera on for the
2:58
hill so the hill is uh 40° up and
3:00
down going to push it over to second put
3:04
it into manual mode when we're in full
3:06
low that holds it in second gear for me
3:10
kicks on the gas as well so we've got
3:11
the maximum horsepower 375 horsepower
3:14
470 lbs of torque putting us on the hill
3:17
all terrain's given us plenty of grip
3:21
so this is a new hill isn't it no same
3:24
hill yes with this it's been here for
3:27
the last couple of years for sure check
3:28
this safe so we'll change screen
3:34
there we are just touching 42 as we came
3:37
down there there we go there is a lap in
3:40
benefit we're in the Wrangler 4xe it's
3:42
the plugin hybrid so we're going to run
3:45
around in hybrid mode it's mainly
3:47
electric got the front camera on to help
3:48
me see across this make sure we go right
3:50
down the middle
3:56
now being a plug-in hybrid this doesn't
3:58
recharge itself you have to plug it in
4:00
it does recharge itself it's got I get
4:02
mixed messages on that okay so it's got
4:04
eafe so if we were going around this lap
4:06
in purely electric we'd use about 2% if
4:08
I ran around this in eave we'd probably
4:11
get 1% back okay yeah so it it charges
4:14
it quite slowly it's got we've got max
4:16
regen on as well so that's supposed to
4:18
use the brake to to charge up over this
4:21
we're going to use about 15 in
4:22
suspension
4:24
travel yeah so we've got three modes
4:26
hybrid uh electric only and uh eave so
4:31
hybrid the computer decides so going so
4:33
slowly it's going to basically use
4:35
electric unless I really put my foot
4:37
down hard in which case the gas engine
4:39
will kick in to give me the maximum
4:40
power the gas engines a four-cylinder
4:42
yeah 2 L 4-cylinder turbo here so we're
4:45
leaning over get the most at the end
4:48
here usually just about 30 something 33
4:51
we're at according to the screen
4:54
got the electronic sway bar this being
4:56
the Rubicon cuz electronic sway bar
4:58
disconnects so uh that's disconnected
5:00
that gives us an extra 25% articulation
5:02
we go over this no diesels not anymore
5:05
no no no for the time being yes for sure
5:11
okay so the hill's 40° turn on the front
5:13
camera so I'm going to kick it over to
5:15
manual that will select second as
5:18
default being in full low at this sort
5:20
of
5:21
speed climbing up here all terrain's
5:24
giving us loads of grip
5:27
nice and
5:31
steady so check it's okay change the
5:33
screen back so you can see the angle
5:36
should hit 40 by the bottom does this
5:39
have a transfer case yes it does it does
5:41
yeah is it 42
5:54
or more that's me
