Throttle Out | Can Ryan’s Stock JL Keep Up With his Modded TJ Offroad?

Can Ryan’s Stock JL Keep Up With his Modded TJ Offroad?

TJ VS JL Wrangler at Rausch Creek Off-Road Park

PAOLI, Pa. (February 6th, 2019) – In the latest edition of ExtremeTerrain’s (XT) “Throttle Out” YouTube Series, XT host Ryan Huck visits Rausch Creek Off-Road Park in Pine Grove, PA with his new, stock, 2.0L-powered 2018 JL Wrangler 2-door and his trusty, heavily-modified, 1998 TJ Wrangler to give them a proper shake down while comparing how each performs on the trail.


“We knew at the start that the TJ would be able to out-wheel the JL, but I was excited to see what the stock JL could do and I wasn’t disappointed!  It was great to have both of my Jeeps out on the trail and it made me look forward to building my JL even more.”
–Ryan Huck

Ryan has had his TJ since he earned his license over 16 years ago and it was his daily driver until recently, when he purchased his new JL. His TJ has been through several iterations of lift kits and is functionally modified with all the supporting components needed to handle even the toughest of trails.

On the other hand, his new JL Wrangler is bone-stock, for the time being, but is equipped with more technology and modern architecture, making for an interesting comparison to his old TJ on the trail. Which one would you choose to take out on your local trail?

Thank you old friend!

“Thank you old friend! You have served us well. We will missing seeing you around everyday. We wish you all the best in your retirement!”

While our previous web page served us well, the time for a refresh was here and much like the Jeeps we love, the new web site shall continue to evolve as we move forward. The new design is intended to be more functional and user friendly, not just for you the reader, but especially on the backend where the content gets updated. We all know, a tool that is hard to use, won’t get used.

This web site, like the rest of this organization, is managed on a volunteer basis. In most cases, the individuals that will be responsible for managing the content are not professional web designers. We would all rather be wheeling’ then spending hours on end learning how to update events and keeping photos current.

With any luck, the new tools being introduced will be easier to use and maybe even a tiny bit enjoyable. Hopefully that will lead to more updates, more useful information, and ultimately, present a more current picture of the happenings in the KC Jeep Club.

So hang with us. There is more to come!
