This little Trailhawk is darned near insulting these big dogs. Trailhawks are downright awesome. Love mine. Trailhawks might have zero articulation whatsoever, but they have everything else - and they don't beat you up on city streets like Wranglers do. And this little TH, unlike the big dogs, are economical daily drivers that hold the kids, groceries, and spare, without a hitch or roof rack. And taking that drop at 13:27 was AMAZING, did better than the Wrangler!
Absolutely amazed where you were able to drive your rig. You managed some fantastic handling skills. Was sure some of those rock challenges were going to be too extreme. Glad you smashed my doubts into pieces.
That was a fun trail I took my Renegade Trailhawk on it, and I can't wait to go back and take my cherokee trailhawk but it was a long drive from Michigan lol
Just filmed fins and things myself... lost my KL wheeling buddy in the sand dunes the day before though. Thought I was doing it solo but... a 2020 JLUR, a 2003 TJ, and a Toyota joined me :). Loved this video so much that I watched both again just now!
Fearless Trailhawk yea, I got kicked out of my hotel yesterday. However, I’m alright with it... they only have 4 vents and 17 beds in their hospital. Depending on when you go, this mess should be over by then! Good luck! Colorado has good wheeling and large capacity hospitals if not tho! Come here!
That little Cherokee looks ridiculous with its wheels 3 feet in the air but it does it. Reminds me of a mini H1. You do gain a little something with a low cog and no diffs to drag in the center.
The lack of low hanging diffs is something many never consider. Though my control arms are what hangs me up in the deep ruts. I love how freaked out my wrangler friends get when i lift a tire because in their minds that means i'm about to roll over or something...
Very capable Trailhawk. Milstars are nice tires which I’ve considered purchasing but they seem a bit slick for that particular terrain which I’ve seen before on other Jeeps.
Thank you! I try to post more but my 3rd shift schedule has me all sorts of messed up. I have like 6 videos in the back log atm...which i need to clear out because i'll be wheeling for the next few weekends...and getting even more footage! I will try my hardest to get the next one up this weekend!
This is why I’d take the Cherokee over a wrangler. Close to as capable but more practical in every way. Get the panoramic roof and boom, easy open top!
Right! Every time i see one of my wrangler friends complaining about taking the top off or putting it back on...i just look at that handly little button i have! Granted its not quite the same...but i do quite enjoy being able to hear myself think! I could never be able to stand the noise from a naked wrangler at highway speeds.
Thanks man!

So tell me about this Trailhawk. I have an XJ with 4.5 inch lift on 33's. I want a "Daily" aka one I pay a note on...and I am looking at the Trailhawk Cherokee. I CAN NOT leave any vehicle stock. If it is a Jeep it needs mud tires. What upgrades have you done to your Trailhawk?

If you'd asked me this 6 months ago, i'd say its great. But after my recent rear diff replacement, i haven't been able to wheel without having some electronic 4x4 issue. For the 3 years prior only issues i've had really could basically be traced back to me wheeling it a bunch or doing something dumb. I'd still pick this over a forester for capablility. imho.
So far no more issues with them since the diff was replaced. I'm goimg back to Moab again this summer so we'll see how they do. I honestly think the rear end collision contributed to the failure.
@@ElectricDanielBoone 100% warranty. I towed it to the nearest dealership and dropped it off, rode the 1,500 miles home with some friends, then flew out the following friday to drive it home...1,500 miles by myself.
@@ElectricDanielBoone Yep, i was expecting to have to fight for it, but they called me up the next day and said it would be warrantied, no fuss at all. And it still had all the dirt from the weeks adventures!
I have a 2018 jeep Cherokee trailhawk named MISTRESS. just installed rough country lift and 32s going on tomorrow. I'm member of wicked jeeps of western pa. I'd love to wheel with you sometime
Depending on exact location, my normal stomping grounds may only be a couple hours away from you. I'm really hoping to get to Bantam next year, and the West Virginia jeep fest. I may try to do something mid/late October, but not sure.
I have a couple of times, its neat, and i mean to use it more but i just forget about it. Though anymore for hill decent i just put it in first and supplement with brakes, where the mode will do it with 100% brakes.
That was a friend of mine. Though i do get a lot of flak and resistance to participate in anything other than newb level trails with some 'local' groups.
Simply awesome watching the trailhawk going head to head with the big boys. My trailhawk amazes me all the time.

They are super fun! I love the reactions from other people on the trail that just can't fathom how i got to the same place they did!
How beautiful . Love that trail. Fearless hanging with the big dogs. Love it.
Can’t wait to get a Trailhawk, this is awesome👌
Absolutely amazed where you were able to drive your rig. You managed some fantastic handling skills. Was sure some of those rock challenges were going to be too extreme. Glad you smashed my doubts into pieces.
My brother had some doubts as well...but i know what she can do and like to push her limits where i can!

Right! We live on the wrong side of the country for this stuff...
Fearless very nice place for 4x4 jeeps and your cherokee trailhawk was great thank you for the videos are amazing
Thank you good sir! Can't wait to go back next year!

Great video as usual.

YES!!! Part II!
Totally amazed what that little Trailhawk an do, I shall have to get one for the wife!
(myself really)

Great video and nice wheel lifts ;-)
I love your channel hahah! I need those badges of honor.
Thanks man! Hoping to get a few more out there this summer!
Love it we’re buying one soon I love the videos post more often!

Another great trail isnt it?
I love your videos. I do have to ask though.... did you put a lift on that Cherokee Trailhawk or bigger tires or is it all stock?
Thanks man!

Hey - great video. I am a new Jeep owner in Ohio and would love to hit a trail. How do I find out when and where the next ride is?

How reliable has your jeep been I am super split between a 2022 and a forester wilderness...???

I'd still pick this over a forester for capablility. imho.
Great Jeep 👍 what has the lift and larger tires done to your gas mileage? I’m assuming this is your daily driver too?
It has not been kind. Atm i'm getting about 17 mpg with the MT's, and 21 mpg when i swap the stocks back on.
U can tell this was there first time to Moab
It was everyone in the groups first time, are we doing something wrong?
Good Job! My TH is still stock. I'll probably keep it that way, maybe add rock rails sometime. Waiting to hear about those spider gears!
So far no more issues with them since the diff was replaced. I'm goimg back to Moab again this summer so we'll see how they do. I honestly think the rear end collision contributed to the failure.
@@FearlessTrailhawk Sure don't want mine going out! How much $ was that to fix? How did you get home?
@@ElectricDanielBoone 100% warranty. I towed it to the nearest dealership and dropped it off, rode the 1,500 miles home with some friends, then flew out the following friday to drive it home...1,500 miles by myself.

@@FearlessTrailhawk I'm pretty close to Morgantown wv. I've yet to do bantam. Too many people!
So you're about 3 hrs from where i normally ride.
Have you tried using the off road cruise control or hill descent control?
I have a couple of times, its neat, and i mean to use it more but i just forget about it. Though anymore for hill decent i just put it in first and supplement with brakes, where the mode will do it with 100% brakes.
@@FearlessTrailhawk Getting that engine breaking in there to help keep the vehicle slow. I assume you are also in 4 low when you do that?
Yes. 4Low whenever on the trail, unless it turns into a gravel/dirt road and i am sustaining 15 mph and over, then i switch back to high gear.
How did you mount you camera inside you jeep?
Just a gopro mount at the top of the inside of the windshield. With a cheap polarized filter to reduced dashboard glare.
Send this video back to that park that wouldn’t allow you to go on those hard rated trails or whatever they were.
That was a friend of mine. Though i do get a lot of flak and resistance to participate in anything other than newb level trails with some 'local' groups.
Which lift kit did you choose to install?
-Dobinsons KL Trailhawk suspension lift, paired with partial Hazard Sky lift spacers to achieve 2" lift
🤠👍
JK Who?
can you go any slower?
Sure can! Slams the brakes and smiles into the rear view mirror...
