Ibishu Hopper

They are easy too, I have no clue what you're saying. If you try to traverse a hill the TJ feels like one movement will easily roll the car, and on pavement if you corner hard with even a slight life you can pick atleast one tire off the ground.

 

It all depends on the suspension set up. Lots of these are lifted sky-high and have a high center of gravity. Just like in-game, the way you tune the car determines how it handles.

 

Yeah, I was in a JKU that almost rolled - ON FLAT PAVEMENT!!!

Shall I add that it was stock?

 

We have 2 pictures of the Hopper right now so may we please get another @gabester ?

 

Why do you want another one? Go back to the K-Series .. Oh wait we never got a picture of that before it got released AFAIK..

Please wait until the car is In-game or The Devs put out their own pictures. Asking dosent help.

 

lolwut. We got a teaser picture at least once.

ontopic
This thing is gonna be fun.

 

I never saw the K-series before it got in-game .. Welp I never was so active around here .. I miss out on a lot of stuff actually

 

Anything can feel like it will "roll" on a hill. And about the second part, Mostly untrue. If you floor it from a dead stop while turning, then yes you can pick it up. But driving normally wont even try to, unless you have the softest suspension in the world with ANTI ROLL BARS unhooked.

 

Hang on, I just realized...maybe, since it's got a 4.0-liter inline-six, an 8.0-liter V10 or V12 could slot into the engine bay (with a supercharger, of course - or two, or three, or whatever number of superchargers), and then make the ultimate sleeper of a drag car out of this sweet little SUV. That is, if the rest of the Hopper can take the strain of ~800+ horsepower from that mighty motor.

 

Leave THAT to @Spaceballs the Username! XD

 

In the TJ, the 4.0 is big enough, if they couldnt fit a V6 into a engine bay that size, I doubt a V10/12 will.

 

Hold up. The engine bay is Long enough for a Straight 6. It is also Wide enough for a V8. It would certainly fit a V10 or V12. I've seen it before.

 

If its wide enough for a V8, Why couldnt FCA fit a V6 in that bay?

 

Because they used the old AMC 4.0 I6, there were no V6's at the time that were considered for offroad use. On another note, people stick 5.3's inside of the TJ's. And to reply to the others, the Jeep's do flip pretty easily, even when stock. The one I almost rolled in was basically stock except for different tires and rims. It also still had the roll bars connected.

 

FCA made the JK body design in 2007 because they couldnt fit a V6 into the engine bay

 

that was standard Chrysler. FCA is 2011 onward

 

That was DaimlerChrysler, to be precise. The Daimler contribution to the new corporate entity being heavy decontenting and cost-cutting measures...

 

and they released the wheels before this car

 

to be fair, with a good set of tires, and some knowhow, you can flip most any truck on dry pavement.

my brother flipped upside down a Chevy k1500 on a dry suburban street, and that is pretty well the D series. heck, throw some race tires on a stock d series, and experience it yourself.

i own, drive on city and highway, and wheel my 1992 YJ. it has 4 inch spring life, 31 inch highway tires, and no sway bars. there is no little truck i would rather own.

most of the jeep horror stories i hear are from people screwing with the design without accounting for the truck's geometry, or trying to make it do things it was never meant to do. KISS, and it will do what it does just fine.

many pages later, i would like to reiterate that a truck riding on 4 leaf springs rides very different from a truck riding on 4 coils. hopefully the developers can take the time to add a leaf sprung suspension down the line, as they did for the SFA D series.

 

hmm, I think a 5cylinder engine would go here nicely, goes along with the full fiat/Chrysler theme (5cylinder from fiat coupe). Or just a 5cylinder with a power output that matches its age.
