Those are actually one of the most rare special edition jeep models ever produced, the CoD: MW3 editions. Only 200 were ever made, and they were based on the Rubicon, with upgrades. Mostly visual. If you’re getting rid of the seats and they’re the originals, I’d love to buy at least one!
One thing that surprises me is they do not clean up the old parts before reinstalling them. They do a great job at building these vehicles but put dirty parts on with nice new clean ones. What would it really take to clean the brake caliper brackets? 30 seconds? Not much time to make that ride look extra special.
Are we not supposed to notice the cast update? 😂
Jeep doesn’t use a gasket, always silicone sealer on the diff covers
I cant imagine what is gonna be like when someone decodes the vin on one of these MW3 Jeeps and explains it to a YT audience in 50 years lmao
Camaro?
I'm really sad you guys went away from the wacky builds.
I know the comments were full of muppets criticizing and you've had to make this show just like all the other build shows on PN
See they upgraded to cross drilled rotors with bigger tires. Everybody laughs at me for crossed drilled rotors. Bigger tires equals more moving mass which stock brakes are not designed for!
What happened to the gen 2 Camaro racecar?
Dana 60 front and rear
So if that Jeep came with a V6 pull it out and take it Scrap metal place and the money 💰 you get go find a 5.7 Hemi out of a truck. Then you have a good build.
Enjoy the pace of your show. Next time though take the old parts which you’re going to reuse and just do a little sand blasting and protect with paint. Pretty simple thing to do makes it look much more like a professional job.
That was a very good explanation on the stainless steel break lines. No one has been able to make me understand before!
Are you guys going to 360 no scope the Jeep?
My biggest regret when I bought my used 2011 JKU Rubicon was the engine. Saying the 2012 has a "little" more horsepower is an understatement when comparing the 205 HP on the 3.8L in the 2011 vs the 285 HP on the 3.6L in the 2012. You could literally put a supercharger on the 3.8L and it would just about bring it in line with the 3.6L.
Great job
THAT is the same brake kit i have on F150
No personality.
every once in a while you have a really cool project
sadly this is not one…..
I love Powernation. Its the only sane thing left in this crazy ass world we live in now.
Jeeps are the most sold parts in automotive stores
I want a jeep
