2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee in the mud - WK2 off-roading

- I've had a hard time finding mud in San Antonio that isn't screwing up someone's property, but apparently the drainage "ditches" are decent spots. Hopefully after some exploring I'll find some deeper mud to really test out the Jeep's capabilities.
Old Man Emu 2" lift: www.arbusa.com/uploads/PDF/new...

KMC Rockstar II 17" wheels
Nitto Trail Grappler 265/70R17 (31.97" OD, 11.02 " Width)
After the Old Man Emu lift was installed the height in the front and back is 35.75" & 36.5" from the ground to the bottom of the trim on the fender and 20.5" & 21.75" from the center of the hub to the same spot.

Good job yo. For those whom dont know, having the right tires can be the difference between unstoppable and getting stuck.
What are the right tires
@@mostwantedni he’s on an MT(Mud Terrain) tire
I love how capable these are while still being stupidly comfortable.
Yeah it's a Unibody crossover with independent suspension all around, and it still hauls ass almost like a real SUV with a frame. The air suspension then makes its ride mushy and firm at the same time giving it a nice ride, while being able to have good handling (you can feel the 5000 pound weight though). My experiences driving one have always put a smile on my face.
+Dcc357 Honestly weight isn't that bad.
Then again I was used to a full sized Fort Expedition with enough modification on it pushing it to 6200 lbs.
Really didn't do anything difficult in this video though?
Its been 5 years since that comment. I wonder if it stood the test of time.
@@size1up yes
Impressive. I have an E class at the moment but I'm starting to lean towards this prepper type of anti zombie cars with good offroad characteristics and tall ride height, good trunk space
It's nice to see that Jeep is keeping the Grand Cherokee an off road legend! :)
Have you seen the Trackhawk?
@@MrGreenelight You are acting like they dont make the Trail-Hawk. They can make a street version and an offroad version. its a good business decison.
Your jeep looks beast especially in the mud
Nice Jeep. I like the combination of white as primary color and black for details 😎👌
I've got the same
Very sweet jeep! Thanks for sharing!
I was playing with our 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk in the snow up on the mountains last month. It uses Quadra-Drive II, and it NEVER got stuck. I never even used the snow setting, and left it on auto mode. The tires on it were Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor tires. The super tiny turning radius was also a HUGE help up there because of some cramped areas where there was a restaurant and neighborhood with countless vehicles roaming the place. I did put it on its second highest suspension height though because I didn't take the front air dam off, and the snow was deep in some areas.
+Dcc357 good move. it cracks easily.
a lot of people told me not to buy jeep but turns out to be my grand cherokee altitude is the best vehicle i ever bought,,and i had a new benz cla 250 before i traded it for gc..love my jeep,everything works as it should and its so god damn comfy..i think i just might become jeep fan//well its been just over a year since i bought it ,,still loving it..in all fairness it does consume little bit more fuel than average but if you get pentastar no premium fuel is needed.
Tires are the key here i would think. The first week i had mine my 2015 JGC practically bottomed out just trying to take it around my yard in the Fall Time. I spent a good half hour rocking it forward and backwards in a few spots just to get enough momentum to free it up and back to my driveway.
I just leased one. Very impressed
I need to get some off-road action as well.. well done... respect.
Wk2 is great suv crazy comfortable and drivable still real capable offroad
Love the look of that white grand Cherokee playing in the mud
Not to take away from the Grand in any way, (I love that rig, every iteration of it), but most of that is due to your tires. Those Toyo Open Country M/Ts are gnarly.
Yes its a great combo. Good tires + Good Truck = good time in the mud
How are they in deep snow?
I'm definitely getting one when I finish nursing school. 😍
Jovan Monroe did u ever get one
Just the video I needed to see.
Ahhhh Yeaaahhh...!!!!!
JGC FTW!!!!!!!
Hey, quick question, what mods have you done to it? Just wheels and tyres? Or have you put on a lift as well? Thanks!
2:05 it couldn't go forward so it pulled it sideways!!!! That thing is pulling!!
Awesome these things look so good off road
Nice jeep. Advise would be roll up windows when wheeling.
+Jim Cole Never roll up the windows when in water. Ever. Unless you are keen on drowning.
It might only be 20 cm deep for show purposes there, but if you are crossing a riverbank, and suddenly your car drops deeper and the engine dies, you want to be able to get out.
+Mp57navy I never leave without my seat belt cutter or window breaker for that reason!
Ah. Nothing sound better then the screeching sound of mud in the window track.

feel like jeep looks better when there is mud on it.
It's the pedal on the right, Nancy.
blueslove61 haha tell him Susan
lawl
😄😄😄😂
@Collin Daniel rally is
Great video 🚗
NICE SUSPENSION AND TIERS SETUP,TRY THAT WHIT STREET TIERS AND NO GO
Es indiscutible el poder de la Cherokee no obstante el terreno en la que se está probando es firmé...
Cool video...great job camera guy
I'm jealous! I need to do that!
That is a 2014 Laredo, it does not have 4-low. It is a quadtrac 1. Thus it has no way to shift into 4-wheel, it is always in that state, essentially making it an all wheel drive. That being said, an impressive display for that drivetrain
On the back it said Limited, but not for sure if it really was
Used jeep, 16kmiles , 2014 ...20,000$ one owner, good maintenance, perfect condition.
That jeep looks nice! I'm glad someone is finally uploading videos of these model JGC off roading. I hope to pay mine off and use the same suspension/tire/wheel combo you used! Looks nice and pretty capable.
I've read lightly one the forums about big tires affecting the transmission and 4wd. What's your take on this?
Besides that looks like mpg took a hit! (From what I read on the comments)
Have you paid yours off
@@BlackyVue repo...
Good to see one in the mud, because 99% of Jeeps never leave the pavement.
Whaaat xD
Especially the new ones, 110 out of 100 driven by middle upper class city people getting groceries
I have a white WJ. I love it.
The overlands have 4 low… a fully loaded JGC is so freaking comfortable off-roading you got to feel it to believe it ,the air suspension s on them are in a class of its own…
Pretty good traction
Finally using a jeep the right way. Kinda weird to hear someone say no 4 low just "mud setting "
Love your jeep man. Can you please post in your description what kind of mods you did to your vehicle? are the rock sliders an addition?
+Techswreck looks like he has mopar rock sliders. Rocky Road Outfitters makes some as well. much cheaper and easier to install than the Mopar versions, but the mopars are nice because they act as a step more than the RRO.
+Techswreck I added the info to the description a while back, but never responded...so here's my better late than never comment!
Nice vid, what tires are you running? I just bought a 2015 Laredo 4x4 with the quadra-trac II. I live just up the road in New Braunfels. Have you ever tested the trails at the Hill Country Adventure Park?
Tylerwhofishes I went with the Nitto Trail Grappler 265/70R17 (31.97" OD, 11.02 " Width). I haven't yet, but of all the places I looked it seemed like the best. I'll post when I'm heading that way some weekend. www.hiddenfallsadventurepark.com/
Nice..., what are the sizes of rims and tires. They make a good off-road look to your Jeep.
I went with 17" KMC XD Rockstar II wheels and 32" Nitto Trail Grappler 265/70R17. Most of the off-road look comes from the Old Man Emu 2" Suspension Lift. If you're going for the look versus the utility then I'd save the money and put the 2.5" spacer lift from Rocky Road Outfitters on. The tires don't rub at all, but I think that's because I have the lift to help with clearance on the front tires.

Cool video, what is your rim and tire setup? Mopar rock slider?
+Jose Suazo I went with 17" KMC XD Rockstar II wheels and 32" Nitto Trail Grappler 265/70R17 with the Old Man Emu 2" suspension lift. You're right about the rock rails; they're a pain to get on and they aren't much of a step, but they can handle anything you can throw at them...including the entire weight of the Jeep!
Is it stock lift ? Leveling kit or is it air ride ? Just picked up the same ride. Looking for what I can do tire wise with minimal lift
Sounds like the camera man is gently weeping the whole video
Poză ttt099999vyj
It made me sad.
😂😂😭😭😭😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
It's his car
Not too shabby
Does that have air suspension and if so does the lift kit effect the air suspension?
blacked out makes it look so much cooler
New jeep lover im 💯 team jeep, awesome video, bro my wife have a Compass, my new hobby is go muddying in off-roading,the views are so beautiful man, get your own channel everybody have channels on jeep wrangler's
Get an old xj. If you like offroading and need a multi purpose car that would be far superior to any new jeep. They are a lot more reliable too
Compass is ugly.
fuck yeah im getting one! been saving for a while and im almost there!
My 2001 WJ 4.0. NO big difference between them.
i wondering if those tires will work fine on my wk2 trailhawk with QL ?
What lift kit and tires? Did you install the lift yourself? If so how difficult was it?
hope youre wheeling skills improved since this video.... you feather the pedal like a teenager on his driving test.
Did this have LSD in the rear? My wife's 2012 GC only gets 2 wheels working when in snow or ice and therefore just so so works. I took it to the shop and they said there is nothing wrong with it, just how open diffs work.
This generation of grand cherokee wk2 on a solid frame, the new wl is no longer available, the dealer in Australia sent me with regards to the welded frame in wk2:
Monocoque Body with Built-in Ladder Frame
They say that superior off-road handling capability could only come at the expense of on-road smoothness. They have obviously never driven grand cherokee . By incorporating a lightweight and highly rigid monocoque body with a built-in ladder frame that provides added resistance to torsion and flexing and fixing them atop a dynamic independent suspension, Grand cherokee achieves an unprecedented combination of all-terrain control and luxury-sedan comfort. For added durability, grand cherokee now makes more extensive use of galvanized steel body panels, while the new aluminum hood panel reduces weight for better handling.
That's impressive
Is it stock suspension or lifted?
The ol jeep goes alright in the mud. Do you have lockers or open diffs?
cyc00000 on the newer GC's, the "trail rated" badge should mean it has an electronic locking rear differential, with skid plates. Of course all of them have brake assisted traction control to send power to the wheel when one slips, but that trail rated badge means that + more.
@@FirePoo The GC TrailHawks have an LSD in the rear, no locker.
I love my 2011 hemi grand and have no problem thinking it will go anywhere, unfortunately it's a damn money pit requiring constant expensive repairs
I can't tell for sure, but it looks like you could use some better tires.
Hi. What rims and tyre size do you have. I looks really good 👍
White with the mud? That's a good look!
nice Cherokee their just so damn heavy.
My Cherokee was awesome off road
Top tip when in mud on flat surface you shouldn’t be using 4 lo unless the idea is to get stuck.
Did you find a way to disable traction control completely?
Beautiful car! What trim?? Summit ?
tires what makes wonders!
Edward Snowden driver?)))
One day ill try this .........right before I sell the truck lol 😆
Звук у тачки. Огонь. А грязи нет
It looks like the 2014 Jeep SRT Red Vapor Package with white paint. That's the one I am about to buy but a 2015 instead
Where did you get the rock rails?
Whats with the camera showing wavy footage?
hi
your jeep has quadra drive 2 or quadra track 2 system?
Most come with all drive
Gahhh this is why i need to move down south! This is not appreciated in Illinois haha
Bravo.
I was wondering, how has the lift and tires effected your gas mileage?? I'm thinking of doing this to mine
Well...the gas mileage took a hit, and not like it was great to start with either. With the larger tires the gas mileage is a little off anyways (I haven't really tested it to be sure but I think that if I was really getting 17 mpg it would read about 15 mpg). You could do the math using the 32 OD tire etc.
All together though my in town reading is about 13-14 mpg and highway tops out at 17-18 mpg (remember these are falsely low). But take this with a grain of salt considering that I'm always first out of a red light and I make good use of my radar detector on the highway. Also, I removed the front air dams/spoiler below the bumper to make it look better. I still think the look is worth it, it stands out and has the stance that Jeep should've given it from the start.
If you don't use it for off roading you should go with the RRO 2.5" lift and save some cash to put toward the wheels/tires.
Dustin Koenning Sounds normal. My 09 KK now has goodyear Duratrac's, 255/65 16's, Old Man EMU 3inch suspension lift, JCR offroad rockrails (stage 3) full skids and custom front steel bumper that tips the scall at 124lbs w/o the winch stuck in the receiver hole and class III/Iv rear hitch. My MPG city is 12. Hwy is 16 on a good day and if you tach under 2k RPM. But we all know Jeep/Chrysler can't make a gas burner that is just OK on gas. My daily driver is a 2013 VW Passat TDi. Long hwy drives net me 58mpg. City stop and go, 42. BIG difference. My 02 KJ isn't tricked out and gets 14 city. 18 hwy. Not much better then the 09.
How did that plastic dip hold up after this?
th-cam.com/video/DChR7qYTnLk/w-d-xo.html It didn't mess with it to be honest. It can handle power washing and all.
This looks like the Altitude package on the loredo
Such a nice Jeep, I want one soooooo bad!!!! Lol.
Morgan Anderson buy one
Have you gotten it yet
And I want a Female like You, Sooo Baaad!

What rims are those you have on? i am thinking on purchasing some like that for mine
I went with 17" KMC XD Rockstar II wheels and 32" Nitto Trail Grappler 265/70R17.

When the traction control is on does it makes noise like you can hear from the inside of the truck ? Just making sure mine is not broken lol
Felipe Cabrera No, you shouldn't hear anything at all. Go get it checked out.
Dustin Koenning you think we change information email or phone Num if your cool with that I have some more questions... cus idk if is different in the snow or the ice when I change it to snow Mode if my front tires start to slip I can hear the Clicking noise Iike trying to get traction
Clicking is normal; it's solenoids opening and closing. It should sounds the same as when you change gears from park to drive or reverse, but anything more than this is not normal. If you want to know what's normal line up against a concrete wall where sounds will reflect off of the drivers side into the window and listen for the clicking sounds when shifting...this is normal. If it sounds different than this then have it checked out.
I doubt you should be able to hear clicking above the noise of your tires, but if it's consistent with the solenoids then don't worry. Without hearing it I can't tell you much...post it here and let others and I help you out.
Dustin Koenning oh okay thanks.. what's the name of your lift
Where in San Antonio is this? I'd make the drive from Austin in my 02 Durango just go have fun....lol
+Ron Guyer I'm sure you'd find better in your area, but the spot's right behind this guy's house 15723 Eagle Cliff St
San Antonio, TX 78232
my universal car would be stuck there. i like jeep grand Cherokee and mersedes gle. now i know jeep is goid without the road.
Despite its off-road capability, I just wonder who the hell is going to clean that thing off... I can’t imagine the steps they’ll need to take just to get it ALL. I cringe knowing that shit is going to go inside the window track once he rolls those windows up and down.
All in all, I just hope these trucks hold up to the test of time if we were to take them off-roading like this.
i can't get spare parts for my 10 year old jeep x
best looking SUV, Most capable SUV and damn its a comfy SUV. Only thing I wish is that the Grand Cherokee could make me breakfast
what size and type are those wheels and tires?
Looks like me trying to get out of driveway everyday
anyone know what step rails he is running?
Anyone know where I can get the side rails like that?
AbrahamJK4 chief products has one along with OFFROAD animal. Both are starting around 1k
I SUBSCRIBED...
I wanna take wife's new Gc out wheeling see how the QT 2 works but I wanna get the tow hooks on it first
jajajajaja solo es agua, en que minuto sale el terreno dificil ???
Why do you accelerate and stop in the mud once you're moving keep constant throttle... Don't stop
Джаз і на
To hell with all that electric, give me a old fashioned “XJ” any day 💪💪💪💪💪
I’m lucky to have both, my dad sold his 2001 XJ fully modded with a supercharger for stupid cheap
Mud is mud. Don’t matter if you’re in a Jeep or a Chevy. It’s always gonna be a good messy time
I wish this type of shit also showed up on Carfax
that way you know your 4x4 can actually offroad.
this is what it's made for. if you want something that hasn't been off road then buy a model that isn't made for off road
Buy new?
