  Speaker 1: Yeah, and if there's a strike, you know all of the inventory that they've been begging to have on their lots.

• 3:29
  Speaker 1: The Detroit three automakers aren't the only ones worried about contract talks with the UAW.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: The entire automotive supply chain is sweating the potential of a strike, because what we what most people don't realize is that car manufacturers actually don't manufacture the parts for the most part.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: No, it's components, right, and they're assemblers.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: They assemble the components.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: So all of the millions of people that supply parts for the automotive manufacturers assemblers they will be affected as well.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: For the larger tier one suppliers, a halt in vehicle production would result in millions of dollars in financial losses in short order, according to the companies From automotive news, some suppliers have tightened up spending and baked potential losses into forecasts for the second half of the year.

  Speaker 1: Six thousand twelve thousand, that's a lot.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: It is a lot for that car because it had no horsepower.
• 9:41

• 9:43
  Speaker 1: It didn't have the Jim Connors suspension, it had nothing other than.

  Speaker 3: I.

  Speaker 1: You know that's really romantic and all for us car guys but it was a performance motor, I know, but what a pain in the butt that is to carburetors.

  Speaker 3: Rochester quadra jets.
• 11:55

• 17:52
  Speaker 6: Seven great days in in no end.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Well, we, you know, as much as I would love to talk about that, I'd rather talk to drew about his 392 in that jeep wrangler bud.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Wow, that thing's not a lot of fun, oh yeah a lot of fun I'd believe me.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I had one one time out of the press fleet and I'm going.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Hmm, I wish I'd have thought of that.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: I wish Jeep had done it sooner.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: It's something everybody had been asking for quite a long time and it's an absolute riot.
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: Even with about 400 pounds of steel and 37 inch tires, it's still plenty fast for a 6,000 pound suicide machine that it is.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Well, I will tell you this.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: My thought immediately goes to anybody that had and don't this is not a putdown of the v6 or the fours or any of the old engines, but this, sir, is one of those that you need to order the kit.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: If there's not a kit, then you need to make one yourself by the engine.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Just buy the engine, put it in the corner if you don't have anything else to put it in, but preferably a Wrangler, because that's my cup of tea.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: It is a lot of fun.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: I do not regret it and, if anything, I wish I had bought one sooner.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: Even hemi swapping sooner.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Now, now forgive me because I'm really not up to date on the latest and greatest from Jeep, but do they still offer the 392?
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: They do still offer the 392.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: It's out for the 2024 model, which has the mid-year Recycle with, like, the new infotainment screen and all the big stuff on it, and there's actually dealers out there right now that are doing up to seven thousand dollars off MSRP if you order through them.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Seven thousand off of MSRP as opposed to seven thousand over MSRP.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: That's interesting.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, or you could go buy a Bronco and pay over a hundred and five thousand dollars for it and have the zero to sixty speed of like a Honda Odyssey and still not have a hammy.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say anything, but I just got out of one.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Got out of what a Rubicon 392.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah well, why aren't?
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: You gonna say anything, mars, because I was waiting to drift To needle you a little bit more about it.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking, oh my god, he's always gotten more tickets on this.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Just saying so.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Do they still do the?
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Was it a track Hawk version?
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: You know that's a good question.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: I don't know, I haven't actually seen one in several years.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: That's in the other.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: That's in the other Jeep vehicles like the renegade and stuff like that.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: You'll see the track Hawk badge on the back.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: Well, the track is supercharged.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: The hell cat motor.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now this the 392.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: It's interesting because I'll tell you a little story.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I think they call it the super B.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Is that what it was?
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Didn't they label it as the super B in the in the challenge challenge?
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: or a charger or whatever it was.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I and it came with a six speed manual transmission and that combination was just perfect for moi.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: I will tell you that because you know everybody wants the supercharged engine and granted, I get it, I'm all over it, it's a lot it's.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: It's it's too much for the street in my opinion and Granted, I'm an older guy now when I was in my 20s and 30s it would have been la, la, la, yeah, great, let's get that.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: But the 392 just seems to fit really well in my lifestyle.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Well like.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Drew said it drives real well to extra weight up front and I surprisingly going down at my highway speeds Even with a 14 gear.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: It was a nice driver so so, bobby, what do you got sitting over there kind of quiet.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: I'm a simple man.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: I've got a two door 2018 JL with the six cylinder in it.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: That's the inline six, isn't it?
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: No, I love it to death.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: It's the best thing I've ever done.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: It's a death, it's the v6.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, I had to start so what do you guys think about the new inline six that they're gonna offer?
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: No kind like from anybody.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: Inline six.
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: They offered the only line six is amazing.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: I think the jury's out on that one, but I'm not like Bobby.
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: I'm running the minivan engine in my jail.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: But yeah, well, I think back in 1980 I bought a brand new Jeep that had a Pontiac four cylinder in it.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Do you remember those?
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: The the iron Duke.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: I don't think they're old enough.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: It was pretty useless.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Thanks for playing shut up.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Strong as we go back into the Jeep archives.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, way back when World War two is a matter of any of you guys do any of the competitions.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: You know the the rock crawling competitions with your Jeeps.
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: No, I'm not a daily driver, so I'm not.
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: I'm not risking that.
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: But another member and I were talking about Don't, the 24 hours of help.
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: I'm trying to get a sponsor for that to do that.
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: One point so, but we don't know, we don't.
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: I haven't done any of that.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Now wait just a minute.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, back up.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Did you say the 24 hours of hell?
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: Yes, Well please fill us in.
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: That's a.
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: It's an event and you get a lot of.
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: You know it's very technical, it looks like a lot of fun and it's 24 hours.
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: You had a partner in a small pit crew 24 hours to get through all these obstacles.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: And we're not talking about dirt roads, we're talking about some technical, technical things to get over.
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: It looks like a lot of fun.
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: If you break something, you've got to wear a pink helmet.
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: If you get winced out, you've got to wear a pink helmet.
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: And then you know at the end you get your prize, money and stuff.
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: But it looks really cool.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: So what is there?
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Is there a club or organization that puts this on?
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: I think it's called 24 hours at hell.
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: I can go send that to you.
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: But yeah, they've been doing it for quite a while, and where is it held?
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: On various places.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: I think last year or the year before it was in Oklahoma.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: That's appropriate.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Mars has connections in Oklahoma and that wasn't a put down.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: It's just that he can relate.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: So we have to check that out, we're going to check that out.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: So, before we run out of time, are y'all located together, since you're a statewide group, or y'all scattered out, the three of you?
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: I'm from Missouri, but Bobby and I are in Dallas.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, do you ever?
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: make it.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: I'm on the other side of Dallas from Tim.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the other side of Dallas.
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: The other side of Dallas.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, y'all ever make it down to Houston.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Y'all ever do anything down here with the Jeep clubs.
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: I know we have some members from Houston.
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, some members from Houston.
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: The closest we get to Houston is Hidden Falls, that's around the Austin area but right, really down to Houston.
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: But I mean I've been to Houston.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: What happens in Hidden Falls?
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: I've never even heard of that either.
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: That's a great part.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: It's a big off road park up there Outside of marble falls actually.
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: So, you guys are yeah, we have a sign of marble falls on that inside of marble.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: So y'all's fun is this, this slow events, the rock crawling, the technical type of stuff yeah, that's fun.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: So apparently you bring a spotter with you.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: We're all spotters.
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: We're all spotters.
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: One thing about this club is everybody helps everybody out on the streets Sure, sure.
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, okay.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: So the typical of the Jeep community is you know you want to do some upgrades on your Jeep.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: Let me invite you know club members over.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: I'll bring some adult beverages and everybody sits around and helps do the upgrades up until the adult beverages are fully consumed.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you, we had, back when I was a member of the of the Texas Auto Riders Association, the fall event Kimberly Schultz with Christ, who would always bring at least one or two Wranglers.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: One of them got put into the river.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: That went through the park, oh yeah, yeah.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: But the other one.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: They had a really tough rock crawling section that in this particular area where we were, you went up and then you made an immediate left, and an immediate left again is kind of like a big U turn up over a rock and everybody loved that thing and they had to have a spotter there because if you got just a little bit off by a couple of inches you would have had a big gash down the side of the body of that thing, Even if you had rock rails on it.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: That's your cup of tea out there.
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: That's it, yeah, yeah, you fix it.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: Go out, break it, come back, fix it.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: We've got scratches on our Jeep.
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: I'm running under these set of axles, bobby's not upgrades, you know just to rock crawl.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: So yeah, that's, that's.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: It's not a.
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: We go past them all, so yeah.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Well, and then there's so much aftermarket accessories and upgrades available for the Jeep product.
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: It's kind of mind boggling.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, as far as how much is available to upgrade your Jeep.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: So do you guys have a connection with any one Jeep club here in the Houston area?
