@@coloradomallcrawlers if your still considering a new Cherokee trailhawk you might want to wait a bit. ever one is saying a new completely overhauled Cherokee is coming in early-mid 2022 as a 2023 model with a new trailhawk along with it, that might be even more beefed up.
Woah!!!! The trail hawk coming up that third obstacle where he rubbed his slider on passenger was intense!!!! I loved the perspectives! You guys are wheeling the absolute snot out of your rigs. Bravo!
I have the 2013 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk (bought in 2014 with a deal!) - Take good care of it...but have done lots of snow-mud-and rock...Yes the are very underrated! Don't forget when they were getting boring and Mercedes married Jeep for a hot minuet and put life back into the General Pourpous vehicle! Thanks for sharing these adventures! @@coloradomallcrawlers
This is great stuff! It is the absolute best demonstration of what a Trailhawk can do. I've got a Rubicon and my wife has the KL. I knew they were tough little beasts but honestly, I had no idea they were that capable.
@@coloradomallcrawlers I just found you guys. You do a great job producing fun, interesting and informative videos. Keep it up. We live in Colorado Springs. Maybe we can hook up sometime for some wheeling.
That would be great! Send me a request on Facebook as I don’t know a better way to do it.... if anyone else sees this, send me a message with the request. I’m getting a lot of requests that I think are scammers.
@@coloradomallcrawlers I will in the summer . I am in Japan now and will be for the most part until August. Most of my wheeling time will be lost in 2021 but I'll still have a bit of time.
Thank you! We try, it’s tricky as even if the whole trail is awesome, rarely is whole trail footage awesome… but learning new ways to cover it all. Thanks for being here and watching!
Just on my way out to buy a Cherokee Trailhawk and it will be my first Jeep.. Cannot beleive how well it did on the trail! Makes me feel even more convinced that it is the right vehicle for me and the family to go exploring British columbia in.. Amazing Vid by the way pleause keep them coming
I used to own a JK Rubicon and I came across this video trying to find a middle-ground vehicle for my wife and myself. Wow this Cherokee Trailhawk looks like the ticket! You can't beat real life results like these.
Absolutely! It’s an incredibly capable vehicle. The only issue we’ve encountered is it may not be as durable as your wrangler was. Still, I think it’s a great vehicle!
Me too and that’s why I love having them on the trail with me! We constantly try to get interesting vehicles in the guides, but the biggest hinderance to that is my chaotic schedule. However, pretty much every vehicle in these videos asks to be in more so I’m thankful for that… once my schedule gets better, should be able to get more in these! Thanks for watching!
I've been very impressed with my Wife's Trailhawk. We've mainly only done very light trails but the only time she's been stuck is on the dirt road we live in in Alaska during breakup. She wasn't the only one.
I own a Cherokee Trailhawk. It really takes "Balls of steel" to do this trail. Personally, I don't have the experience to do that :D Always nice to see a car identical to mine exploited to its limits. Thanks for this video and Hello from Quebec !
Awesome! Nothing better than seeing that combo! And positive fun!!! Still amazed, neat how the rock rails on the side of the trail hawk make it perform like a wrangler!!!
That’s so kind and I can’t wait to run one with you in the future! If anyone sees these comments, definitely check out Outlaw 923’s channel as it’s a great one covering Colorado trails!
Excellent video and I know it’s not new. It’s two years old now but I was not sure if Sean ever made it up bowling ball. I know these are your Videos Dewey and kudos to you because you do a really good job with them.
Hey amazing video. Thanks for shouting me and my group out, and tagging myself in the images at the end. I really appreciate it man. Keep up the sick work!! -blake
Nice video. I owned a 2015 KL Trailhawk in green and drove it from MN to FL, out west, to Yellowknife, to AK, and back to MN. Not a bad trail rig with the 3.2L but in the WI mud it was not good. Traded that on a '17 MP Compass Latitude 4x4 6spd manual. Retrofitted Trailhawk skids on it. Gearing was no good for trails. Finally found my dream rig, which I still own and daily drive...have taken to to WY twice. 2018 JKRR 6spd. Stock suspension. Damn thing is a goat and easy to get through narrow WI trails. Not fun with 30+ MPH crosswinds on the interstate.
You’d love it! It was our test for Holy Cross and Mt Blanca for the Trailhawks, but I think we won’t push that and it’ll be me solo for those. Thanks for watching!
It must be nice to be able to go offroading like that and not feel like you are going to have an anxiety attack that something will break. Like when i go offroading its scary because i dont have the money to just throw at my truck if something breaks
I absolutely get that… I can’t speak for the Cherokee, but I have wheeled a wrangler for over 20 years. When I was new, I was afraid I’d break it. I started with fire roads, then rockier trails, then even harder trails… I learned Jeeps were tougher than I thought. A well built Jeep or a stock jeep rubicon is built for the toughest trails… if it breaks, it failed and should be covered by warranty (granted you were wheeling appropriately).
Really appreciate that! Making them a resource was always the first goal, and now I’m working on making them more entertaining as well. Thanks for watching!
I appreciate it, I really do! I’m trying my best and they take a lot of time especially when you don’t know what you’re doing editing, but I’m getting quicker. Thank you for the support!
I've had the Cherokee Chief, Cherokee XJ , a lot of Grand Cherokees but never a Cherokee KL , jeep brother you got me looking at the KL seriously . ✌️🦆
@@coloradomallcrawlers the compass is ok , but No KL .it's a mistake stopping production compass is not as capable as the KL . WK 2 and KL can keep up with the wrangler and still have a smooth ride and comfortable. I've always loved Cherokees since 1974 when chief come out they are my favorite jeeps
Looking forward to this video! We did wheeler in a highly modified wj and a slightly modified jl Rubicon. The couple obstacles are tough! Great scenery too.
@@coloradomallcrawlers me too I wanna get out on the trails just sucks with all the snow and being so stock and no recovery points other wise I’d be so down to snow bash lol.
Inside windshield cleaning is difficult. You can find various videos and techniques on it but the best seems to be to use something like rubbing alcohol first to thoroughly degrease then move to the cleaners using microfiber towels. Interesting to see what the Cherokee will do but should just buy a Wrangler. I considered a Cherokee and Grand Cherokee but I didn't want to compromise so spent a little more and bought a Wrangler.
Appreciate the cleaning tips! I’m a wrangler person, but I absolutely see why a person would buy a Cherokee over a Wrangler. For Sean, the Cherokee is what he wanted and it has performed well. It’s a much more enjoyable ride for him. Thanks for watching!
Yes you do, and when you do, let’s wheel! Also, I might be furloughed soon and I’m thinking of a little wheeling road trip (since our trails are now snow covered)... maybe I’ll head your way!
Love your content. My daughter thought her trailhawk was just a 4WD soccer mom suv. Then I asked her what she thought of her trailhawk after watching your channel. It's not her soccer mom car anymore
Thanks for doing the stock perspective. I suspect a lot of the viewers are like myself and have stock vehicles and wanting to preview the trail before heading out. With that said, it would be interesting to see the difference that sway bar disconnect and lockers have (i.e. Rubicon vs High Sierra).
Of course! I mostly wheel the rubicon without using lockers. I’ll disconnect the sway bar usually, but that’s something all Jeeps should be able to do (just the rubicon allows you to do it from inside the cab).
Good vid. Reminds me if when I took my commuter out ('14 CX5). It handled everything I wanted it to handle, but the unexpected lurking over obstacles had me noid. Fun though, but I'm sticking with the XJ for dirt from now on.
The next full trail guide has Sean in it and I think it’s going to be a better one than this video. We’ve also filmed a bunch of others last summer altho it may take me a while to get to editing them. They’ll likely show up as highlight videos in the meantime. We’re trying to get our schedules to match up so we can film Crystal Mill and the others in the area. He’s going to help film on holy cross but that’ll be a stock Jeeps and Broncos video. Thanks for subscribing!
Wow V-Notch was sketchy as hell! Just got a 2020 Cherokee Trailhawk for my wife and love seeing what they are caoable of with a few mods.. The trail and area you guys were in was absolutely beautiful
Looking to get something newer than my WJ (which a previous owner neglected beyond the motor which is a fantastic 4.7L with 243k miles). It’s a money sink to fix up just so I can take the family on some adventures like these. Besides not being able to afford a Gladiator, I do not want a Wrangler and this TH is within the price range. Fantastic video and it’s encouraged me further with it. I’m learning the aftermarket is scarce which is saddening and is why I haven’t fully committed to the TH yet. However, I am a busy body who gets creative. Maybe I’d end up a good supplier for aftermarket modifications 😅 Extra $ is great 🎉
I like the Trailhawk a lot, but it’s reliability suffers with mods. Still, if wheeled stock, it could probably still do most of the trails Sean has done (wheeler excluded). This is at the max of it’s capability. I’m definitely a wrangler guy, but I’m eyeing that Jeep Recon as my next off-roader daily driver (keeping the wrangler and liberty tho). Thanks for watching!
I think the Cherokee trail hawk is a sleeper vehicle. It comes to life when needed. I tried to buy one in 17 my wife hated it and didn’t understand why I loved it.
Yeah, we don’t want people to think you need expensive builds on top of expensive vehicles to see these beautiful places. My wrangler will remain stock but with more lights, the liberty will be built in a budget friendly way as I’m not rich… and they’ll both be used.
Just joined your page. Don't have a Cherokee trailhawk, however, got a 2004 Touareg and would love to meet up and do a winter ride with u one of these days
Awesome ride! I’m currently just announcing trail days via my Facebook. Your welcome to friend request me and join… if I don’t respond, send me a message.
@@t-rexlanding7321 alright, unfortunately due to my schedule (I’m on call 24/7), this has been the best method. I announced yankee hill, probably 30 hours prior to filming and had to start turning people away as the group got too big. We will continually try to come up with better methods tho.
@@coloradomallcrawlers so great, I'm up in Washington state but by winter hopefully will have my boy working properly. He's been a little brat lately, 😂😂 I'll just send a message and see if your going to be out and make according plans to be in the neighborhood
This was great because I am thinking of a new trailhawk cherokee. I was going to get a bronco sport but the one I wanted was considerably more expensive than the cherokee. If you get a chance you could get me the brand of rock rails your friend with the cherokee was using.
I might be doing the same although I’m surprised the bronco sport was more expensive. I’m pretty certain that the Cherokee will remain the most capable crossover produced though. They use rocky Road Outfitters and thanks for watching!
Thank you! Unfortunately, I’m not allowed to share these with the majority of jeep pages especially the Colorado ones as it’s taken as self promotion. I do wish more people saw them though as the drivers do such a great job in these videos! However, if anyone sees this and likes it, feel free to share it with your groups. My buddy in the blue renegade shares the renegade ones for me and that’s why they get a ton of views. Thank you for watching though!
THIS IS AWESOME.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Ive mountain biked this trail MANY times ( ALWAYS wanted to DRIVE it in my Tacoma, but Im just TOO fucking SCARED...LOLOLOL ) YOU guys are AWESOME.. LOVE THE VIDS !!!!!!!
I’m glad we could help you figure out that you can do it in your Tacoma! You’ll have a blast… I’m trying to figure out what I’ll need to do to my liberty to take this on myself… might need to rewatch this one lol. Thanks for watching!
Any trails that you recommend that aren’t as harsh? Mine is my daily driver so I wouldn’t want to risk it but I’d love to take her out on some moderate trails. Thanks!
Ok that was insane with that Cherokee. I was so nervous for him. Probably because I have a Cherokee TH identical to that one. The front brake actuated limited slip works pretty dang good. I don’t think I’d have to balls to take mine on something like this. I noticed some fox shocks in the back. What all has been done to it??
I’ll release his walkaround today which will answer your questions... was going to do it this AM, but I worked overnight and didn’t get a chance to make a few tweaks. I’ll publish it after a nap.
I would’ve turned around lol. That had to be on the edge of breaking something. I thought you would hit a body panel. I’d say sliders was a great investment.
Lol, I like subies a lot, but the KL will easily outperform one. Low range 4WD, locking rear, and Jeep’s traction control is nearly unmatched. Sean use to own a Subaru.
@@coloradomallcrawlers I've got a Grand Cherokee with Quadratrack and low range, air suspension etc. and I wouldn't go the places you went in that Cherokee. Hats off sir.
@@seanwatson3790 you ever do the math on the wheel torque on that versus the best XJ you could buy that hasn't been regeared and has stock tires ? Your crawl is 51.2:1 (with stock tires anyway it would be) multiplied by 295 engine torque is 15,177.57 lbs of total torque headed to the wheels. The BEST old XJ (2001, phase 2) , 5 speed with 3.55 axle (which was optional, not standard ) is 38.7:1 times 230 engine torque is 8905 lbs of total torque headed to the wheels. Even my 2.4 with the 56:1 crawl with 171 torque is 9576 still beating the total torque. headed to the wheels of the XJ. Your turbo sends 6272 more lbs of total torque towards the wheels. WAY more powerful setup. Not even close. So when people say the XJ is better I'm like... Flex is all maybe. That's it though... Even with a re gear I don't think the XJ can match the wheel torque without engine mods etc. A diff swap won't be enough I think... 2.0 is a beast!
@@off-roadingexplained8417 that is the most amazing explanation of that I have ever heard. I carry about 600 lbs give or take static extra weight at all times from stock too and am dealing with elevation. But at the same time I have never ever had any issue having enough torque to climb anything. I have had a couple times where tc Intervened when I didn't want it to, but when it's letting me do my thing crawling is super easy. Plus down at elevation it feels a lot like a race car. I do not regret picking this engine at all
@@seanwatson3790 do you know if anybody has ever tried any softer springs on the Cherokee Trailhawk? I think the Dobisons actually have a 10% higher spring rate. I've never heard of anybody go in the other direction but it would certainly help I think in the flex department but it would hurt you in the towing department. I think you said in a video you've got the long travel Fox shocks are those the same shocks that MFC sells that will give you 11.5 in of suspension travel I think they said? Have you ever done a diagonal "oil change ramp" type test with it? I haven't seen a single video of a flex test on a Cherokee Trailhawk that has made any improvements for suspension travel. I'll have to make the video if I get those shocks. If somebody else wants to beat me to it go right ahead I just want to see the video lol. MFC claims SAS level suspension travel. I believe them - they seem like good honest people, I just have never seen it.
Awesome! Yeah, I was definitely anxious spotting him on the v-notch 😬. I think the next one will be a battle between Jeep and Toyota in the snow... it was a failed trail guide, but I think what we got might be better. I’ll start editing that tomorrow after work. Thanks for watching!
@@coloradomallcrawlers that what he does for a living!! Love the channel, love the comments and love the shots. Colorado at it's best. Hope to join you guys someday!

Of course! I mostly wheel the rubicon without using lockers. I’ll disconnect the sway bar usually, but that’s something all Jeeps should be able to do (just the rubicon allows you to do it from inside the cab).
That was awesome! Great descriptive video. I will hit this trail for my first time this summer. I'm also in a 2 door JK Rubicon. New subscriber!
Thank you! You will love it! Welcome and maybe we’ll wheel together sometime in the future.
Great video! Some behind the scenes shots would be awesome. Top marks for Sean getting the Cherokee up there.
It’ll be coming... AND most definitely!! Hope he sees these, because he definitely wheeled the heck out of that KL! Thanks for watching!
Thanks man. It was a bit brutal but not insanely hard. Definitely worth the effort though , the video and trail guide did turn out awesome cuz of it !
That little Trail Hawk is Badass
It sure is, but it’s now bigger than my Rubicon 😂
That was almost Jeep abuse with the Trailhawk but you spotted him so well that it wasn't. Awesome dudes.
I appreciate that, but I was definitely nervous trying to do that and film it.
@@coloradomallcrawlers haha I bet but it ended up being a great run.
Damn that little Cherokee is a beast.
Yes it is!
greetings from Russia from the owners of Trail Hawk.
Greetings from Colorado! Hope it’s serving you well.
Love it when videos on these trips show stock height jeeps. No lift on my 2016 Rubicon hard rock
My type of wheeler! Keep at it and thanks for watching!
Nice.
That's impressive
Sean can drive! Thanks for watching!
Great Video!! I really enjoyed this one.
Thanks buddy! I’m trying to get better on each one.
I am buying a trail hawk based off this review. thanks +1sub!
Tell Jeep that lol. Enjoy!
Not bad for a vehicle that is constantly lifting a tire 🤙
Good vid. Reminds me if when I took my commuter out ('14 CX5). It handled everything I wanted it to handle, but the unexpected lurking over obstacles had me noid.
Fun though, but I'm sticking with the XJ for dirt from now on.
Thanks! The XJ isn’t a bad choice!
You guys rock🤟 My wife and I love your videos. Where did Sean get his mountain decal on his window? My wife loves it 😎
Happy trails!
Awesome, thanks for watching! Hey got it on ETSY I believe... I think it’s a site where people do crafts and stuff.
Excellent run!
Lake Havasu 🌞 Az
Thanks!
ok, i have respect for the Cherokee after this vid.
I’m truly impressed myself! Thanks for watching!
The Cherokee trailhawk is pretty amazing ! Nice video.
It sure is!
I need me some sliders. Those were a life saver
Yep, sliders, skids, and tires are usually all you need for off-road fun!
Ok fine.. We subscribed :) ..but can we see even more of the Trailhawk!?! :)
The next full trail guide has Sean in it and I think it’s going to be a better one than this video. We’ve also filmed a bunch of others last summer altho it may take me a while to get to editing them. They’ll likely show up as highlight videos in the meantime. We’re trying to get our schedules to match up so we can film Crystal Mill and the others in the area. He’s going to help film on holy cross but that’ll be a stock Jeeps and Broncos video. Thanks for subscribing!
@@coloradomallcrawlers Awesome! Thanks for responding!
@@coloradomallcrawlers No problem - thank you! You guys are kickin' butt!
That Cherokee is pretty amazing.
It sure is! Thanks for watching!
Wow V-Notch was sketchy as hell! Just got a 2020 Cherokee Trailhawk for my wife and love seeing what they are caoable of with a few mods.. The trail and area you guys were in was absolutely beautiful
Yeah it definitely is… I personally hate v-notches. To get my liberty up this trail, I’d have to use the v-notch I think.
Looking to get something newer than my WJ (which a previous owner neglected beyond the motor which is a fantastic 4.7L with 243k miles). It’s a money sink to fix up just so I can take the family on some adventures like these.
Besides not being able to afford a Gladiator, I do not want a Wrangler and this TH is within the price range.
Fantastic video and it’s encouraged me further with it.
I’m learning the aftermarket is scarce which is saddening and is why I haven’t fully committed to the TH yet. However, I am a busy body who gets creative. Maybe I’d end up a good supplier for aftermarket modifications 😅 Extra $ is great 🎉
I like the Trailhawk a lot, but it’s reliability suffers with mods. Still, if wheeled stock, it could probably still do most of the trails Sean has done (wheeler excluded). This is at the max of it’s capability. I’m definitely a wrangler guy, but I’m eyeing that Jeep Recon as my next off-roader daily driver (keeping the wrangler and liberty tho). Thanks for watching!
I think the Cherokee trail hawk is a sleeper vehicle. It comes to life when needed. I tried to buy one in 17 my wife hated it and didn’t understand why I loved it.
I absolutely love them, but be careful, if you lift them they’ll void your warranty! However, they are sweet and capable vehicles in stock form too!
@@coloradomallcrawlers if you do the dobinson shock/spring 1" lift, it will void your entire warranty??
I like that you guys run stock or near stock vehicles
Yeah, we don’t want people to think you need expensive builds on top of expensive vehicles to see these beautiful places. My wrangler will remain stock but with more lights, the liberty will be built in a budget friendly way as I’m not rich… and they’ll both be used.
Nicely done as stated on Overland Video group.
Thank you!
Just joined your page. Don't have a Cherokee trailhawk, however, got a 2004 Touareg and would love to meet up and do a winter ride with u one of these days
Awesome ride! I’m currently just announcing trail days via my Facebook. Your welcome to friend request me and join… if I don’t respond, send me a message.
I don't use Facebook anymore, since I'm working on a social networking company to compete against Facebook one day
@@t-rexlanding7321 alright, unfortunately due to my schedule (I’m on call 24/7), this has been the best method. I announced yankee hill, probably 30 hours prior to filming and had to start turning people away as the group got too big. We will continually try to come up with better methods tho.
@@coloradomallcrawlers so great, I'm up in Washington state but by winter hopefully will have my boy working properly. He's been a little brat lately, 😂😂
I'll just send a message and see if your going to be out and make according plans to be in the neighborhood
This was great because I am thinking of a new trailhawk cherokee. I was going to get a bronco sport but the one I wanted was considerably more expensive than the cherokee. If you get a chance you could get me the brand of rock rails your friend with the cherokee was using.
I might be doing the same although I’m surprised the bronco sport was more expensive. I’m pretty certain that the Cherokee will remain the most capable crossover produced though. They use rocky Road Outfitters and thanks for watching!
AWESOME MAN. SHARE THIS WITH JEEP FACEBOOK PAGES/CLUBS AND JEEP OWNER PAGES/FORMS
you will have way more viewers
Thank you! Unfortunately, I’m not allowed to share these with the majority of jeep pages especially the Colorado ones as it’s taken as self promotion. I do wish more people saw them though as the drivers do such a great job in these videos! However, if anyone sees this and likes it, feel free to share it with your groups. My buddy in the blue renegade shares the renegade ones for me and that’s why they get a ton of views. Thank you for watching though!
Fun trail for sure!
Yeah, it’s a great one! Thanks for watching!
THIS IS AWESOME.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Ive mountain biked this trail MANY times ( ALWAYS wanted to DRIVE it in my Tacoma, but Im just TOO fucking SCARED...LOLOLOL ) YOU guys are AWESOME.. LOVE THE VIDS !!!!!!!
I’m glad we could help you figure out that you can do it in your Tacoma! You’ll have a blast… I’m trying to figure out what I’ll need to do to my liberty to take this on myself… might need to rewatch this one lol. Thanks for watching!
@@coloradomallcrawlers 👍😄👍
I'M TOTALLY HOOKED !!!!!
Awesome content
Thank you so much!
You guys get some great video !
Thank you so much!
Now I am glad I got my 2020 Trailhawk last year!
It’s a sweet ride! Thanks for watching!
Any trails that you recommend that aren’t as harsh? Mine is my daily driver so I wouldn’t want to risk it but I’d love to take her out on some moderate trails. Thanks!
@@freddyj5845 This video will help you and most of our other guides are easier trails than Wheeler Lake. th-cam.com/video/Xhekytn9Vbw/w-d-xo.html
Ok that was insane with that Cherokee. I was so nervous for him. Probably because I have a Cherokee TH identical to that one. The front brake actuated limited slip works pretty dang good. I don’t think I’d have to balls to take mine on something like this. I noticed some fox shocks in the back. What all has been done to it??
I’ll release his walkaround today which will answer your questions... was going to do it this AM, but I worked overnight and didn’t get a chance to make a few tweaks. I’ll publish it after a nap.
@@coloradomallcrawlers got to get that sleep in. Looking forward to seeing it!
I would’ve turned around lol. That had to be on the edge of breaking something. I thought you would hit a body panel. I’d say sliders was a great investment.
Lol, yeah, Sean likes to see what it can do! Sliders definitely saved the day! Thanks for watching!
I had no idea those little Cherokee's were that capable! I think that thing will out perform a Subaru off road.
Lol, I like subies a lot, but the KL will easily outperform one. Low range 4WD, locking rear, and Jeep’s traction control is nearly unmatched. Sean use to own a Subaru.
@@coloradomallcrawlers I've got a Grand Cherokee with Quadratrack and low range, air suspension etc. and I wouldn't go the places you went in that Cherokee. Hats off sir.
I’ll definitely show Sean this… he’s a great driver! My goal is get on his level with my Jeep Liberty.
Man... that obstacle #2 with the Trailhawk. You might be the best Trailhawk driver in the world!
Sean will love hearing that! My plan is to take the liberty up to get the best liberty driver title 😂.
Hahahaha. It's funny. I won't tell you you're wrong 🤣 but you should have looked at my face when I landed , I was like oof that was a bit rough lol
@@seanwatson3790 you ever do the math on the wheel torque on that versus the best XJ you could buy that hasn't been regeared and has stock tires ? Your crawl is 51.2:1 (with stock tires anyway it would be) multiplied by 295 engine torque is 15,177.57 lbs of total torque headed to the wheels.
The BEST old XJ (2001, phase 2) , 5 speed with 3.55 axle (which was optional, not standard ) is 38.7:1 times 230 engine torque is 8905 lbs of total torque headed to the wheels. Even my 2.4 with the 56:1 crawl with 171 torque is 9576 still beating the total torque. headed to the wheels of the XJ.
Your turbo sends 6272 more lbs of total torque towards the wheels. WAY more powerful setup. Not even close. So when people say the XJ is better I'm like... Flex is all maybe. That's it though... Even with a re gear I don't think the XJ can match the wheel torque without engine mods etc. A diff swap won't be enough I think... 2.0 is a beast!
@@off-roadingexplained8417 that is the most amazing explanation of that I have ever heard. I carry about 600 lbs give or take static extra weight at all times from stock too and am dealing with elevation. But at the same time I have never ever had any issue having enough torque to climb anything. I have had a couple times where tc Intervened when I didn't want it to, but when it's letting me do my thing crawling is super easy. Plus down at elevation it feels a lot like a race car. I do not regret picking this engine at all
@@seanwatson3790 do you know if anybody has ever tried any softer springs on the Cherokee Trailhawk? I think the Dobisons actually have a 10% higher spring rate.
I've never heard of anybody go in the other direction but it would certainly help I think in the flex department but it would hurt you in the towing department.
I think you said in a video you've got the long travel Fox shocks are those the same shocks that MFC sells that will give you 11.5 in of suspension travel I think they said? Have you ever done a diagonal "oil change ramp" type test with it?
I haven't seen a single video of a flex test on a Cherokee Trailhawk that has made any improvements for suspension travel. I'll have to make the video if I get those shocks. If somebody else wants to beat me to it go right ahead I just want to see the video lol.
MFC claims SAS level suspension travel. I believe them - they seem like good honest people, I just have never seen it.
Great vid man, keep up the good work
Thank you! Hopefully they’ll keep getting better!
LIKE THIS VIDEO, Unfortunately in Indonesia, they only imported a 2.4l Tigershark and not the 3.6 V6 pentastar. SO the power is not enough
Thank you! Hopefully you get more power options in the future.
Thanks for posting! My wife watched this one with me, and she was anxious for the Trailhawk!! Can hardly wait for the next video - be safe.
Awesome! Yeah, I was definitely anxious spotting him on the v-notch 😬. I think the next one will be a battle between Jeep and Toyota in the snow... it was a failed trail guide, but I think what we got might be better. I’ll start editing that tomorrow after work. Thanks for watching!
@@coloradomallcrawlers looking forward to it!
very dangerous, but very cool!
Nice video, hello from Mexico.
Thank you! Hello from Denver, Colorado!
Awesome shots!!
Thanks buddy. I told you it was gonna be good !
Thank you, but it was really just Sean’s driving that made the shots look good!
@@coloradomallcrawlers aww lol
@@coloradomallcrawlers that what he does for a living!! Love the channel, love the comments and love the shots. Colorado at it's best. Hope to join you guys someday!
Great driving!
Sean kicked butt for sure! Thanks for watching!
