News brought to you by Colby Valve

• Autoblog – F-150 Raptor breaks mans back
  • Front suspension system notably offers 14 inches of travel
  • Truck’s owner, who goes by Caz
  • Raptor rapidly approaching a jump, catching a good amount of air, and landing on four wheels
  • I aimed for 60 [mph] but it may have gotten beyond that as I wasn’t looking at the speedometer
  • Smooth jump but unfortunately I landed a perfect pancake
  • Doctors repaired his vertebra with two rods and six screws
  • Truck is fine but he isn’t
  • He wasn’t the only off-roader that landed in the hospital with a back injury. He added that the driver who hit the same jump at about the same speed in an identical truck right after his run was hospitalized with a fractured spine as well.
• Inside EVs – Jeep Magneto 2.0
  • 625 hp and 825 lb-ft
  • 70-kilowatt-hour battery pack, comprised of four different cells that are spread out for better weight distribution
  • Six-speed manual transmission sourced from a Charger Hellcat
  • Dropped first gear ratio from 5.13 to 3.36
  • Rock-Trac transfer case to give the Magneto optimal torque at all four wheels
  • Dana front and rear axles and massive King coilover shocks
  • Wheelbase is 12 inches longer than the standard two-door JL, and it rolls on 40-inch rubber
  • Low-end torque and negotiating tricky rock formations
  • Clutch works only to move the shift knob between gears, otherwise, it doesn’t serve much of a purpose. And with so much available torque, you could feasibly start the Magneto in any gear to get it off the line
  • Magento’s brake regen worked better than any of those that I’ve tested. And with the added benefit of recouping range in the wild, it’s a true win-win scenario.
