    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.

      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.

      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

      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!

      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.
