Amazing that a WK2 has the capability to perform like this, yet with the family, on the highway at 70 mph, it's as comfortable as sitting in your living room.
My '04 WJ only has 2" lift and (equivalent to) 31s -- making it a very capable off-roader, and almost everyone that rides in it comments about the comfort, the smooth and the quiet.
They are very comfortable rigs for sure and can take you party mj everywhere oh want to go.
QT1 putting on some work!
For sure
The Quadra trac 1 did great considering the trails you guys were on. Overall, an awesome video. Loved it. Thank you for the great photography.
Thank you. Yea he did great. Hes got a good feel for his rig
Really like your videos. You showed me is possible to take my Wk2 Summit 2016 out in the Natur without be scared of Damage. Keep pushing your limits. Greatings From Switzerland
That’s great!! Glad you are enjoying. 🙏
Yea starting to learn how far I can push her
Hell of a fun time!
Let’s do the BDR
Loved the video. Great to see all those Grand Cherokees out wheeling. Looking forward to the next video.🔥🔥
Jon it just keeps getting better and better mate 👍🇮🇪👍🇮🇪brilliant
Thanks man!!! Had the help of a film crew this time around haha makes it easier.
I love seeing all of these Grand Cherokees
The quality is beyond great brother, aprecciate the content!!👌🏾
Thanks. Appreciate you! I’m glad you enjoy the channel
Damn looks like yall had a blast. Sorry I had to miss it!
Yea it was fun. We’ll plan another
Great video! Nice and relaxing to watch after work. Just traded my Wrangler JK for a Grand Cherokee WK. Nice confirmation to go off roading still. Hope you guys had fun.
Thank you appreciate it. We had a great time!
happen to know what running boards are on the silver WK at 3:23? @@GrandExploration
@@charlesrocco8664 ooh on the silver one? I’m not sure. I can ask
That would be awesome. Thanks.@@GrandExploration
I could never to my Overland.
This is all we do to ours haha 😂 and love every minute of it
Wow!!!! Man Im jealous!!! I wish we had some snow to play in around here!!! I wish I was there with you guys!!!!🤙🤙🤙
It was amazing
Good stuff, great drone shots.
Thank you!🙏
The problem with being last, the mud is muddier
GOD bless
Thank you
Love the vid, but easy on the beginning narration. This isn't ALONE, you're in vehicles. lmao
Great video btw... whens someone going to invent tyre pressue up / down from the drivers seat?
We can get to the moon but cant do that.... 😅
Snow way much easier than sand.
🙏 thank you! They do have it. Have you ever seen the rigs that have the air hoses attached constantly to the wheels? Very common in the big arctic overlanders.
Another good video. Can't wait for snow in NorCal. What tires were being used? Just A/Ts for everyone or any dedicated Winter?
Trailhawk has Wildpeak AT3W. The Overland with a 5.7 Jackson’s rig had nitro ridge grapplers I think. Mine is the white limited I’m running destination MT2s. Not sure what Jon “Grand Exploration” or Anthony in the Laredo QT1 was running either. Everyone seemed to have decent traction with their tire except the wildpeaks.
@@SuperDubmonster Thanks for the reply. That's pretty interesting. Good info.
Great video, excellent scenery, really exciting!!! 👏👏👏
Bravo to the team!!
@@SuperDubmonster I’m running Yokohama Geolandar MTs.
@@SinnSlainte what he said. I’m running Yokohama Geolandar MTs

What tablet mount is that ?
That mount is from pro clips. I should have the link in the description
My air has acted up similarly a couple times this year, except for me it will drop the whole front or back, and the air system won't respond for like an hour. Then all of a sudden...brrrbrbrbrr and it goes back up on its own and is fine. I think a relay or something is getting justled or otherwise wigging the system out. 🤷
Yea we were trying to figure that one out. I’m not too familiar with the air suspension
I do know that when he started driving on it even with it down it started going up immediately
I'm a veteran. I want to start a Jeep run in Minnesota. Anyone interested?? This looks like a blast!!!
You bet 👍🏽
The arb compressor can inflate the 32 " tires in a good time all set?
I have 33’s but it’s about the same time. I only have the single piston compressor. I wish it were faster like the dual compressor but it’s still nice. For all 4 tires from 15psi to 37psi might just be under 10min
The trailhawk looks very good. Which tires and rims are they?
Black Rhino Mozambique Wheels & 275/65/18 Falken WILDPEAK A/T3W
@@Golan-2018GCTH I have the same mature size on it but doesn't look so bulky
Just curious I have a stock 2017 Quadra trac 2 with ass seasons. Would I be any good on that trail?
We had some guys with all terrains out there. Everyone did great. I’m not sure which ones the track hawk had on but I think he could have taken more air out then he did. But all seasons I wouldn’t recommend. Even if the traction was enough the sidewalls aren’t strong strong enough to take the abuse. Easy to puncture and pop a bead
Aye is that a Proclip mount on the passenger side vent for your gps? Where did you get that I looked and the one I have only fits the drivers side.
It is a pro clip. Man I can’t remember how I got the passenger side. I think it was in a bundle from the pro clips site but now I don’t see it.
@@GrandExploration Damn I was looking for a passenger side to mount my Ipad mini to use as gps.
@@yogi900 I’ll take a look at it tomorrow. I wonder if I just flipped it upside down to fit or something.
@@GrandExploration Awesome thanks man. I messaged Proclip and asked them what they suggested haven't heard back from them yet.
@@yogi900dude I think I used a driver side one for that vent as well. It kind of curves towards the passenger side
What tires is your boy with the 2011 running?
@TheUglyMinivan what you got for a lift?
If I remember correctly he told me while we were out there he has a rough country 2.5” lift.
thanks bro@@SuperDubmonster
Come to the dark side and buy a wrangler!
It’s tempting. Haha. We just added a wrangler to the Grand X team. You will be seeing it more and more in future videos.
@@GrandExploration It was cool to see a group of Grand Cherokee's go off road. I would recommend some MaxxTraxx and rear recovery points to make getting unstuck easier in the future. Other than that good Job!
@@GrandExploration It was a bit of a shock the weather up there this weekend. I didn't expect snow. I was in the white Jeep JL 4 door.
If you are looking for a good winter adventure in the next few weeks check out 1302 trail off of Highway 12. It starts near the Windy Point campground and is open all year. It will end at an old fire watch tower (the last one in the Naches district) that overlooks Rim Rock Lake.
Wranglers are awesome! Aside from this trail with Jon I’ve done 2 badge of honor trails in my Bone stock grand Cherokee. Only cause they’re the closest to me in the tillamook state forest. I’ve been in many a sketchy spot in my grand and never gotten stuck or needed to be recovered. That said, I 100% need maxx traxs, recovery points, a winch and a lift! But for a bone stock grand Cherokee I think me and my rig did quite well!
I’ve also been snow wheelin in my grand with 71 other rigs in the Olympic national forest and made it down the trail further than a rubicon on 35s. I give more credit to the QT2 than I do myself though. The grand Cherokee is a very capable rig. It’s only limitations is driver willingness and the independent suspension front and rear. This rig will do all the things a wrangler will do.
No music is always better
Sorry I disagree but thanks
Great video though
I like the sound of the engine and the crunchy snow.
@@cyrilwingnek-qw1ik I appreciate it. I love both haha it’s about finding a balance which I’m learning
You do a good job
So I well view more of your videos
Hope one of your travels has sand
Good luck in your future travel
@@cyrilwingnek-qw1ik sand is coming I promise. It’s already planned. Thanks
Ha ha 😂! Love the dramatic set up at the beginning 🤣!! 5 grand cherokee into an adventure nobody saw coming, heading into the storm 😅! Great stuff man!!
lol thanks man
Show, tenho uma dessa, para mim o melhor suv, pena que vai acabar essa maquina a gasolina. Parabéns e também gostaria de andar na neve, aqui não tem rsrsrs, sou de Brasília capital e ando de 4x4 a mais de 30 anos.
30 years? That’s impressive. Yea you better hold on the the gas engines before they are gone. Snow wheeling is amazing
Nice video! Devastatingly my 2017 was totaled, I ran it with Falken Wildpeaks A3Ws, now the new one has just all seasons. do you guys recommend What tires were you guys running on? - I drive mostly trails, but it is not heard of for my area to get 8-12 inches of snow so 3 peak mountain is def needed, but want something capable if I want to play.
Thank you 🙏. That’s sad to hear it got totaled. I can’t remember what everyone else was running that day. But I was running Yokohama geolander MT 003 aired down to 15psi for that trip. They do great. I’ve had zero issues with them in any conditions. Most people live this tire and it’s getting pretty popular
I was running Firestone MT2 in a 32” Trailhawk had 32” falken wildpeak AT3W. Black overland had geolander ATs and can’t remember what the silver wk2 had. They were MTs also I think.
Yawwwwwwwwnnnnnnnn
I enjoyed watching it. You are welcome to come Alaska wheel with us anytime.
Thank you!! I really appreciate that. I wouldn’t mind coming up there !!!!
Looked like a blast. Now your making me miss my 2015 WK2 limited that I lifted and armored with 33s that I traded for a Wrangler😂
Still a smart switch I think lol
Great..the arb compressor..can be use in the 2014 grand cherokee laredo motor compartment?
Thanks for advance
Yes. You can mount it like I did which I have a video on it. Or you can buy a custom mount for it. 6monkeys off-road makes one.
Awesome vid bruh! Love these WK2, have on myself for daily and a 95 ZJ and a 05 WK. Amazing cars
Thanks man. Appreciate that. 95zj huh? Nice
I own a 2014 Overland 3 liter diesel (what about this engine?
Mine is a 3.6 gas. The trailhawk in this video was a diesel it was doing great.
My wk2 Trailhawk was with you guys in spirit.
Great video, guys!
Haha appreciate it
Just discovered this channel. The opening speech was amazing. Wish I had places like this I could take my WK2 to😢
Appreciate that. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Where are you located?
@@GrandExploration England. Nearest place is Dartmoor but so few places can actually take it off road 🥹
@@angrymuffinsb wow!!! Well that’s no fun
This is fun to watch, i forget how hard everything was when my jeep was stock, are there seay disconnects for these?
No disconnect you have to just remove the swaybar
@@GrandExploration that sucks,I'm gonna assume you still have it on
Awesome sound quality !
Thank you
Instantly subbed🇺🇲
Appreciate that greatly!!!!
does the story also talk about how the GC won't make it past 50K miles without issues?
No sorry I do adventure videos
The issue with these is the 3.6 liter. Models. Same engine in the wranglers. Chrysler
