Whats the difference between a stockish Grand Cherokee and a modded Cherokee? Trailhawk Comparison

[@Outdoors4adventure]

I really liked the cherokee trailhawk...but... I really like my Grand cherokee trailhawk more. Even with towing removed from the equation, the extra room for my gear is great. Also seats that lay flatter. Looking forward to the next comparison.

[@FearlessTrailhawk]

Each has its pros and cons for sure, but i think the Grand wins out overall so far.

those trips out west look like an absolute blast. Can't wait to take my XJ out there

Can wait for Ohio jeepfest

Usually I think the Grand Cherokees the much better looking vehicle but seeing these 2 side by side I’ve gotta say when you’ve got the Trailhawk package on both the Cherokee looks a bit better imo.

I'm enjoying your channel!🎉

[@FearlessTrailhawk]

Thats awesome!

[@KL_HAWK]

This is the shit we been waiting for J. Lol

[@drewmenges8430]

Do you notice much difference between the locking rear vs. rear LSD?

[@FearlessTrailhawk]

I haven't noticed much, but i also haven't really taxed it as much like i have the KL over the past 6 years.

[@JohnRocker340]

Smaller vehicles generally do better off roading.

[@bakers507]

How did you mount the Smittybilt 12k Winch?

[@FearlessTrailhawk]

@@bakers507 i clocked the motor up, and had to shave a little bit off the condenser corner, also had to use some spacer plates behind the whole bumper to keep the bumper bar from hitting the radiator. Frog Fabs QA seems a bit weak because i had a few fitment issues. But the winch is exactly the same as their 10k, but has different gearing inside.

Coming to Bantam next weekend?

[@FearlessTrailhawk]

Nope, might go again next year, but i needed a weekend at home after all the activities this spring!

[@shannonstrode7967]

Rear locker doesnt make much of a difference?

[@FearlessTrailhawk]

Well the WK2 essentially has the same, in rock mode it presses the clutch discs ect to basically lock the rear, so so far its a mute point, but i haven't done a lot of rock crawling yet to do a full comparison.

What’s your take on the reliability of parts

[@FearlessTrailhawk]

I haven't had any trouble getting replacement stuff yet. Though it seems to be a much more supported platform.
