Lol...trip to Royal Blue, TN...bunch of nearly stock Isuzu folks, met up for Midwest/SE trail ride. Had lots of rain days prior...met up with 3 highly modded tacos and a wrangler that led us thru trails. Tacos went up nasty muddy hill. Wrangler attempted 3 times but had to take bypass. I was next in line in Trooper...proceeded and saw large group assembling at top of slope laughing and pointing. I climbed up the hill just like the tacos and the crowd, standing on the trail, parted like the red sea as I crested....the wrangler driver was not happy...love that memory...

I was told as I lined up to do Billy Goat ridge in the Flinders Ranges 🇦🇺 that I couldn’t get my Jeep (Wk2 with Quadra lift and Quadra Drive 2) up there. All the other cars had 33 inch tyres and 3 inch lifts, Up we went when our turn came, while all the doubters watched on. The Track was rated a 9/10 difficulty for a touring 4WD as rated by a celebrity 4WD TV expert in Australia. The Jeep crushed it. Many videos on youtube about Billy Goat Ridge.

People I've met on the trail would always be impressed by how well my 2011 WK2 performed despite it being a "road going hunk of metal" like they called it. Since mine is a QDII with the 5.7 it basically flattened a lot of obstacles with minimum difficulties. I might get a solid axle rig some day to experience some real articulation when wheeling, but for now this "soccer mom" rig just serves me right

Bras this is a fantastic video. Quick comment, as a new grand Cherokee trailhawk owner, I have. It had the chance in FL to be anywhere close to these trails. That being said, every year we go to the mountains of western NC and the areas around the smokies. You might not have logged it, or remember, but what would be incredibly insightful is possibly an explanation of the 4x4 settings you used in these scenarios. I know in a couple of videos you state off road 2 and 4x4 low / rock. Is that predominantly the mode you are using in most of these obstacles.

I wanted a Grand Cherokee and I would have put on a lift and bigger tires. I finally decided that I might be limited so I bought a Wrangler JL Unlimited instead, lifted it 2" and put on Rubicon 33" tires. Last week we did Elephant Hill in Canyonlands Needles District in the Wrangler. A GC might or might not make it, depending on lift and tires, and the ability of the driver and spotter. I still sometimes wonder if I made the right choice. The Wrangler does allow for bigger tires and is a lot easier to lift. I like to see the GC get out there and do its best. I applaud your attitude.

We have not. Although it’s a common question.

at 14:00... I think I almost had a panic attack watching this knowing you would make it. I'm considering a GC Trailhawk myself. Does it have crawl control? I think I've seen ascent control listed as a feature. Would guess that's the same thing. I ask because I don't think I've seen you use that feature. Seems like a lot of lurching over obstacles.
@ProdigalOverland3 жыл бұрын
Yes we have crawl control. Or hill decent control. I’ve used it a few times. Personally, I’m not a huge fan. Although we have been out with some folks that use it often. It’s a reactive system so it’s not going to anticipate drops or ledges. Also I just like to been the one working the throttle and brake. But it does work as advertised.

Would you say that a Cherokee trailhawk set up like yours could do pretty much the same obstacles? Thinking of getting one.
@ProdigalOverland3 жыл бұрын
Funny you should ask. We just saw some in action. They had upgraded tires and a lift. We were able to get up stuff they couldn’t. But there are a ton of factors involved. I’d like to see more

@@LarryRichelli A KL Cherokee and WK2 Grand Cherokee are not even remotely the same car. The KL is a FWD-first Dodge Dart in a fat suit. The WK2 is a RWD-first platform that finds it's roots in the W166 Mercedes chassis. KLs also don't get anything comparable to Quadralift. A KL with Active Drive Lock is probably relatively competent since it has a locking rear diff, but it still won't have the suspension travel of a WK2. The Cherokee isn't necessarily bad, but the days when the XJ Cherokee was pretty similar to the ZJ Grand Cherokee are long gone.

love your videos Brad, I'm about to start shopping for my first BUDGET ($15K) overland/off road vehicle that can also be a decent daily driver. I'm leaning toward the 3rd Generation WK Grand Cherokee with Quadra Drive ll. I like the fact it has a solid rear axle. Would be interested in a quick pros and cons from you (or others on here who are knowledgeable) about that vehicle. How does one go about increasing ground clearance with two different systems front and back and how many inches would you recommend lifting it from the 8.3" stock height. What does a lift generally cost? What size tires can it take without rubbing and will the lift kit effect tire size? Is the 5.7 motor mostly problem free. Are the mileage estimates accurate or a lot worse 13 city, 19 highway. With the back seats removed can a person 5' 10" sleep in the back? Thanks up front for any info you can share.

We run 265 65 18 tires, usually run noun 20-22 PSI. An the air lift is about a 2 inch lift.

I’m not a huge fan of the styling. But regardless the longer wheel base with the third row is not for off roading. I’m waiting to see what the shorter one is going to have. And if there will be a trailhawk model.
