Jeep Grand Cherokees Pushed to the MAX in Big Bear - Snow and Mud in Pioneer Town and Holcomb Valley

We had a great weekend testing the WK2 Overland and WJ Laredo 4.0 on some brutal off roading in Big Bear. The WJ has Fat Bob's Garage 2 inch lift with 31 inch Goodyear Wrangler TrailRunner tires. The WK2 Overland has the quadra lift system + mopar skid plates, off road animal front bumper + rock rails, and 31 inch Goodyear wrangler with Kevlar. We started at pioneer town and headed towards bigbear, taking a side trail to the left that got super gnarly straight away. After taking some body damage we made it to a fork in the road and turned left again, climbing in elevation towards big bear. The next day we taveled through Holcomb valley for some epic wheeling through snow mud and ice. If you enjoyed the video like and subscribe for more! Drop me a comment as well!

Good to see other GC's out there getting it done I have a 14 GC limited 💯 stock and I am amazed how capable it is We went to hot springs AR last week and now I'm hooked can't wait to go back soon

impressive

[@georgetidd8972]

Trail got gnarled up…Are those Trailhawks? Good Job!

[@MsSpicynipples]

The newer Jeep is an overland, so I has the air suspension of the trailhawk but is more luxury oriented inside and doesn’t come with skid plates stock. (One in the video appears to have bumpers and stuff added on). The older car is a wj laredo with a small lift

[@MrKozanitis]

Skid plates on an Overland that is Trail Rated and had the quadralift 2 are standard; rockrails though are optional! I know, silly isn't it? At least that's how it was when I ordered my 2016.

[@EJOpdahl]

​@@MrKozanitis I see. Well I know my dad put a bunch of aftermarket plates on the red jeep in the video, plus his rock rails and front bumper are aftermaket

I love it good job man, was this the v6 or v8?

[@EJOpdahl]

Thanks! Both jeeps are v6

[@briancarle]

Lovely music.

[@EJOpdahl]

thank you! I'm on spotify as Ethan 432 (and have another youtube channel under that name)

Mud tyres for a start wk,orsm

[@515ventures3]

no music on these videos.

[@EJOpdahl]

you mean you can't hear the music? or you don't want music?

[@515ventures3]

@@EJOpdahl I watch and love these type of videos. In my opinion, I think the best ones are with no music. People love just hearing the tires and the engine climbing that mountain. I was doing a search on “Jeep Grand Cherokee off-road” and it is so great to just hear that beast of a jeep make all the noise just by itself. It just takes away from the sounds of that beautiful machine. Which I am getting more and more impressed with. I want one!

[@EJOpdahl]

@@515ventures3 gotchya. It was windy out for most of these shots so that wasn't possible. But I get you

[@515ventures3]

@@EJOpdahl ok I understand

[@patri6kd3mps3y8]

The WJ would’ve eaten that up

[@EJOpdahl]

My wj definitely did better. Still stacked a few rocks but wouldn't have needed to with a locker or lsd

[@Gigachadly]

Common man that jeep is way to nice to be taken on these kind of roads get a zj or something for this kinda driving 😢

[@EJOpdahl]

Lol. Car is meant to be driven. We have taken that red jeep on some seriously f*cked up trails and high centered it bad on stuff. It's taken a beating and done well. It's my dad's. I have the blue wj (the car the camera is mounted on in the video) and don't feel as guilty when I beat it up. Now my dad has a 6.5inch lifted wj on 33's that he wheels.
