    Although I own a Rubicon I love seeing other model jeeps on the trail being used how they should. Well done.

    The driver made those Mopar Rock Rails do their job! Shame the rock sliders on my crossover aren't nearly as tough... Thanks so much for uploading, glad to see a Jeep that isn't a pavement queen like the many that roam the cities.

    Ed nice job handling and video, do you have any trails you might recommend to a novice with a 2017 grand cherokee trailhawk?

    • @us_and_a
      @us_and_a  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      This was my first off roading trip. After that I did 2 day Jeep Jamboree in Big Bear (highly recommended). I recently went to Trabuco Canyon (Trabucco Creek Rd), there is nothing crazy about it, but might be a good place for the first time going offroad, there are some side trails where you can challenge your skills a little. AllTrails dot com is a good reference site with reviews from drivers/riders like us ;)

    Love the Jeep. Have a Trailhawk myself. What rack and basket setup are you running?

    • @us_and_a
      @us_and_a  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rack is $100 from Amazon and Yakima basket. Not really a fan of the basket though, I like hitch attachment solutions better.

      Not sure where the end is. We made it to the next big obstacle where I was not brave enough to go through it. My buddy with Rubicon was able to go through it though. This video was made on the way back.

    Doesn't look like you were in 4 low. Were you in rock mode? That and did you have the air suspension up in off road 2?

    • @us_and_a
      @us_and_a  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I was in off road 2. I also forgot to turn off automatic engine shutoff feature, so when I pressed on the brakes, engine turned off and then suspension went down. First time offroading, it was fun.

    • @MrNuthed
      @MrNuthed 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@us_and_a Awesome! I hate that engine shutoff crap. I need to put a sticky note on the wheel to remind myself to shut it off as soon as I get in. Not sure why it can't be turned off permanently in the settings.
      I can't wait to get out and do some wheeling in our '18. Just hit 5k on it for mileage.

    We were in a pickle between a 17 GC TrailHawk and a JKU Rubicon Recon. We ended up with the Recon. It seemed to me that when the suspension is fully up in the GC, the ride quality is very stiff, and the articulation decreases. But, I did like the optional Hemi in the GC, it's one option I wish Wranglers had.

      It was my first time off-roading. I would do a few things different now, like adjust tire pressure, turn off Eco mode (auto engine shut off). At one point when I pressed on the brakes, engine shut off and air suspension went from off-road 2 to aero mode.
