The Mighty Jeep Grand Cherokee HEMI

WH Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7L HEMI
2012 Mt Walker

[@muslimhater09]

I have a 2012 GRAND CHEROKEE with a 5.7 hemi and its fully loaded and let me tell you its fucking badass..

[@killercoyote1]

locked diffs = key to success

[@samspace81]

I have an '06 with the Hemi and Quadra-Drive II, climbed Engineer Mountain and Cinnamon Mountain in the Colorado San Juans, they are outstanding 4x4s, I was running with heavily modified trailered-in rigs in my stock Jeep.

[@voluntaryismistheanswer]

Looking forward to heading back to the sangre de cristos with mine.

[@montefurze3811]

But that’s a different spec

[@brucewhite7069]

looks like fun and you can drive it to work on Monday

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Yeah, a lot of fun. Thanks 👍

[@wickls01]

This guy is one hell of a driver. Very impressed.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Shane Wickline Thanks dude ;)

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thanks mate. Get a HEMI instead, you won't regret it. Never had any major issues with it and gets thrashed :) Mine's a QD2 version, so it gets the factory locking diffs.

[@Ronny_Dahl]

Aussie Four Wheelers (Hemi4WD) nice video mate, you really forget how well some vehicles can handle tough tracks really well with not many mods at all! You might be interested in my channel as its all off roading as well. Anyways nice videos mate

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Ronny Dahl Thanks mate, subscribed!

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Looking forward to your videos. What tyre are you running? I just upgraded to Bighorns. Mine's Quadra-Drive II (12-bolt rear diff cover). QTII is 10-bolt.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Yes it does have the Quadradrive 2 diffs. QD2 is different to the previous QD. They are made by a different company to the first QD. Eaton makes them and calls them eGerodisc ELSD's. They work very fast when detecting slippage and achieve 100% lock and that's why people refer to them as lockers.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

It's got factory Eaton eGerodisc lockers front and rear. Check this one out (another friend of mine: h t t p:// w w w .youtube .com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=N09Za2ClAzs (copy & paste in browser & remove spaces).

[@iRockBands]

This guy knows how to drive. Im impressed. Keep up the good work, mate. Just got a WK myself and plan on a 2" lift with some slightly larger tires.

[@Madaz]

nice rig man, don't let the haters hate on the Jeep they just jealous

[@AussieFourWheelers]

[@AussieFourWheelers]

or a CRD.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

This was at Mt Walker ~150km west of Sydney.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Sure would! The traction control setup on QT2 works really well.

[@125southernnh2]

Even better on the QD2.

[@erikwilson9498]

It's always so much harder than it looks in the video. he just needs better tires!

[@peeyoobikhunter2312]

eri k wilson, tyres !!! Wot are they then ?

[@НатальяШа-н5й]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@daRangie]

Totally impressed by these things, particularly the 4wd system. My mate has just bought the same as what you have and it did everything so easily stock compared to my 100 series Sahara. He wants to put a 2" lift in but his mechanic reckons they do CVs. Any problems to be aware of? Thanks.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Lol, his mechanic 😂😂😂 2" lift will cause no harm to CV's.

[@daRangie]

Thank you, sir. Didn't think it would, but you never know with these quirky Yank vehickles. 😊

[@cartman4241]

Aussie Four Wheelers (Hemi4WD) would a 2 inch lift put stress on the a-arms?

[@AussieFourWheelers]

FPV RIOT Not enough to be a concern.

[@cartman4241]

Aussie Four Wheelers (Hemi4WD) thanks man

[@samspace81]

You better believe it! I went places in mine (Colorado) that old timers said you're going there in THAT?? lol

[@bahamashadow2535]

Best all around suv... on my 3rd one first on was a 98 and it was hit by a 18 wheeler.second was a 02 and I traded it in a 222000 miles for the 2007 wk with a 5.7.... love them all

[@samspace81]

Took my '06 Overland WK Hemi to the San Juans in Colorado, amazing where they will go!

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thanks mate! The Jeep had AT's but they were worn out. They were also larger than stock ones, 31". Now I have MT's on it.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Custom made, made them myself, tougher than retail ones. I've used 40x40 SHS, 32mm NB pipe with 3 support arm and 3 brace brackets on each arm.

[@luke4090]

Nice Jeep! What song is playing through the video?

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thanks buddy. The rock rails/sliders are custom made. The sliders are from 1"9/16 SHS and the rails are 1"1/4 NB mild steel with a thicknes of 1/8, so very strong.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

I'm using Daystar 2" with a bit of modification to it and 31" MT tyres now. Those in the video were 30.5" AT's.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

I had a look, awesome Jeep mate. Yeah, I was gonna say it's QD2 as well as I saw the badge behind the shifter on your interior pic. QT2 didn't have a badge there on these models.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

:) Thanks mate. You know how we were talking about the CV's on it? You can hear it at 1:46 and slightly also at 2:46. We'll see how the new ones go on the next run ;).

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Good onya mate! I just watched your video doing it! WOOOW!!!

[@jbrunsonjr]

Nice Jeep! What kind of rock sliders do you have?

[@jonnybo5890]

using this for inspiration as I put ball joints an wheel bearings in my '94 grand Cherokee. bring on the snow!

[@DerisedEgami]

Fun stuff. Thanks for posting. I wonder how my 4.7 would handle under this kind of testing???

[@kezzerone]

Nice lookin' Jeep! Sounds great, too. I've got a WK2. Bone stock, but I love it.

[@deciver5]

I love my WK.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thanks for the feedback. I enjoy my Grand Cherokee.

[@marioncobaretti2280]

front and rear lockers do the trick

[@lkatorng]

Sounds awesome:) at 3:40 if you close your eyes it sounds like a Top Fueler :D

[@shadako2]

probably the best advertisement for one...

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Wow thank you 👍

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Custom made.

[@vanleeaz29445]

MIGHTY! Indeed

[@rekless87]

Hi mate, beautiful Jeep you got. I'm looking to buy one, what sort of km's is a good number to buy? Under 300 under 200kms? I haven't owned a jeep and now im in love but don't have much knowledge. Cheers budds.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Hey mate 👋 thanks for asking and glad you like it. What year model are you looking at? I got a diesel one that's over 200km. My HEMI that's under that needed some serious maintenance done to it, like exhaust leak (studs and gaskets), Welch plugs replaced (big job), valve cover gaskets, radiator, water pump... So obviously when you're getting an older vehicle, you gotta think of these things and be prepared to change them if need be.

[@Kleyver]

Great Video and great ride. Is there any kind of diff locking system on that WK? original? aftermarket? ARB maybe? It goes really well even when only 2 tires are in contac with the road. Peace.

[@lukasmarten6660]

Kleyver the Overland has 3 automatic diff locks

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thanks mate ;)

[@FooTech1976]

5:15 What about the fishies?????LOL just kidding! Great vid and beautiful Jeep!!!

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thanks man 👍👍👍

Should be a Jeep promo video.

[@ggigantorbig]

People will prob rage at this but, my jeep stock or as is has shot all over every other type of 4x4 , in every way. Only downside to this car is its thirsty , but who cares. Haha

[@Kingwadesky]

my 3.7L isnt shit compared to this monster of a vehicle. so jealous

[@lukasmarten6660]

Kingwadesky i have the 3.0 Mercedes Diesel and its a really nice and powerful engine. Maybe not as powerful as the 5.7 but it does Great :D

Should fit.

[@hosamzainab5974]

it's a nice strong car .. i have the same car

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thanks brother ;)

[@OverlandTT]

Those tyres look like the good year AT/SA silent armor. Just got a set for mine in a 245/75/17 What should the stock height be from floor to wheel arch? I get the feeling mine has decided to lower itself OoIIIIIIIoO

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Yeah, mine have sagged 2 inches lol, so it's like I'm stock again. Upgrading soon.

[@HondaRidea]

Put the pedal to the metal, hit the rev limiter and let that hemi eat!

[@AussieFourWheelers]

All the time HAHAHA.

[@beaglemanzzz]

+Aussie Four Wheelers (Hemi4WD) You certainly don't seem to be embarrassing yourself in front of those hiluxes and land cruisers, and they definitely don't sound as good as your hemi so I'd keep laughing.

[@grumpy26g]

I got a stock high 05 jeep grand cherokee 4x4, my question is how deep can go on the water, with out damage the motor

[@codybattlefielder5917]

Daaam, that’s a hell of a fun to do...with someone else’s car, oh yea! But why would you want to purposely, attempt to ruin your own baby ? Just watching this makes me want to go and wash my Jeep and polish it on top of it 🤪

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Lol 😂 wasn't ruined. If you don't want to take your 4x4 out to trails, then buy a normal car instead. What's the point?!

[@DifRential]

Love this Jeep!

[@MacGregor.]

Split front axle. Limited

[@OverlandTT]

OMG they're a Maxxis - identical tread to the good year. What size are you running and do you have a lift?

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Yeah, those were Maxxis 275/65/17. Then I replaced them with 265/70/17 Bighorns. I'm running a 2 inch lift ATM but going higher very soon.

[@ggigantorbig]

Great example of the Quadra-Trac II ! Iv got a 2008 wh/wk 5.7 grand cherokee also, 3" lift, 32 1/2" tyres, snorkle , ad strait exhaust, custom bash plate front end, I have no vids up yet but just got two go-pro's ! Go the jeeps!!!

[@chrisandshazza01]

Love the WH. I’m picking up an absolute beautiful WK 5.7 HEMI on Wednesday. 100% bog stock (not even a tow bar or nudge bar), with 69000 on the clock. Never been offroad, no kids and running continental highway tyres and always garaged. Very excited. My father has the exact same model, 100% bog stock running the 3 litre TD. He also runs a new WK TD. Planning on hitting all our favourite trails together around the blue mountains, dingo dell, Lithgow, Abercrombie, bendethera and a heap more. I’ve been 4wding for a lot of years from plenty of stock set ups to old shorties runnin 38 swampers back when porters Rd used to be open in early 2000, but appreciate the challenge of stock vehicles now. I’ll put a set of stock size muddies on her and see how far I can push her safely whilst enjoying the great outdoors and camping. My father runs the 697LT all terrains in the stock size on his Jeep WH Diesel. They are a tough tyre! I should actually run the same as a true challenge between the two. Actually I will, I put him onto those tyres. We will destroy those tyres in 20000km down to the canvas before they puncture at work - no other tyre we’ve run can do that, they are rediculously strong so will run em too and the challenge between the WH HEMI amd diesel will be on again💪💪 Love your videos, have watched many over the years as well as my father. Happy wheeling

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Mate 😍 Thank you for sharing, loved it! We should organise a trip with just WH's and another one with just Grand Cherokees all models. Lemme know if you're interested.

[@chrisandshazza01]

Aussie Four Wheelers yeah would be great. I currently do fly in fly out from Sydney to Port Hedland (NW WA). I’ve been over in WA since the start of the pandemic. I bought the vehicle in Perth and flew down last Wednesday to pick it up - and arrived in Port Hedland last night. Was an awesome run via Coral Bay and got to open her up. I’m ringing around today to price shipping it back to Sydney in around 6 weeks time, I’m hoping to be out of here by then. I’ve got a question you may know the answer to - do all quadradrive II run the electronic LSDs or can you have quadradrive II running no LSDs? I know mine is running the LSDs from the 12 bolt rear and the quadradrive II badge below the shifter. Cheers

[@AussieFourWheelers]

That's bloody awesome mate 👍 Yes, all QD2 run ELSD's. QuadraTrac 2 are open diffs with traction control and ELSD center diff.

[@chrisandshazza01]

Aussie Four Wheelers awesome - thanks for the reply🤘🤘🤘much appreciated

[@chrisandshazza01]

Hi Musa, I’m still in WA (Port Hedland). Have been away for 7 months now and hoping to get home in 4 weeks. Has been a long time away from wife and kids but at least I have a job so I’m thankful for that. Just a question about your exhaust if possible. Have you just replaced the big muffler under the passenger seat with the Lukey and left the smaller muffler at the back stock? Also have you ever had a problem with the engine light coming on after putting a new muffler on? Cheers mate

[@fmxinsane]

great video! ;) im thinking of buying one, the 4.7 tho. is urs stock? it performs really good! kinda impressed. did you ever had any major problems? does it come with lockers? thanks

[@ggigantorbig]

I'm located in Victoria Geelong just down from Melbourne look me up on Facebook for pics of the jeep, looks great. Heath wynhoven

[@michaelnugara1]

Great truck and its pretty much stock standard isn't it. has it got factory e lockers front & rear, or rear only & great traction control up front? I guess the only thing that let's it down is the ifs. But it looks pretty bloody capable. Thanks for the vid

[@dakotashannon1337]

Is it possible to have a 5.7L HEMI and twin turbos?

[@AussieFourWheelers]

I guess anything is possible with $$$ :D

[@JG_RepairandClean]

Only thing that would make the video better is taking this crap music out

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Sorry about that 😕 it was in the early days. We've removed music in our videos at a later stage after a lot of feedback from viewers. Thanks for watching though.

[@kenzo201093]

Will by a Used WK or WK2 With a Hemi. LOVE IT.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

I prefer the WK for exterior looks and drivetrain but WK2 for interior.

[@HELMO4]

Nice video!!!, what lift kit are you using?? I got mine with stock suspension but is too low for the sand dunes here!, always breaking the rear bumper!!!

[@jo23sue23]

Do you think a jeep with the QTII system would be able to handle that terrain? Just wondering cuz i got a jeep commander with that setup.

[@hosamzainab5974]

you may want to see it on the deep sand check this out jeep grand Cherokee limited 2007 off road

[@jrt88fan]

Those are rock sliders, they're made to be high clearance and to provide protection for the rocker panel if the Jeep lands on a rock

[@ggigantorbig]

Also correction previously I said " Quadra-Trac II" obviously it should be " Quadra-Drive 2" my woops

So with the sliders... I see from reading you made them... I am about to do the same ... Did you remove the plastic below the doors or mount them under that and to the pinch weld... I've see some wjs that cut out the rocker below the doors .. did you ??? Thanks

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Yeah, I mounted under the plastic to the "chassis rails" sub frame, pinch weld and sill. 3 arms and 3 mounting spots each.

[@mrr.6313]

Aussie Four Wheelers cool .. thanks .. I'm building my own soon and have seen many different ways .. hk off-road cuts the rocker out on the wj but doesn't use the pinch weld but part of the cut out metal from what they cut out ... Gets more clearance and they seem strong as hell... Thanks again..

+Aussie Four Wheelers (Hemi4WD) Does your government grab all the land then make you guys buy a license or permit to use the land? I live in Arizona, USA, and it's getting harder and harder to find places to go. The forest service has closed most of the places I used to go. Now you have to buy a "Parking Permit" to go into a national forest. It's a big racket. I'm glad to hear no videographers were squashed in the making of your video. LOL!! It sure looked like he was going to get it in a couple shots. Happy 4 Wheeling Mate!!

[@AussieFourWheelers]

LOL, thanks mate. Over here, depends. Most National Parks that need a permit are usually suitable for 2WD vehicles. Other places are open, but I speak for NSW. Other states might vary, for example, QLD has no free parks for wheeling close to the capital, except sections of Glass House Mountains.

Just check for the usual wear and tear, leaks, etc. Best is to plug a scanner and scan it for codes and see if anything comes up. Obviously a test drive and try the low range as there were issues with actuators with flash updates.
