    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.

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.

    My air has acted up similarly a couple times this year, except for me it will drop the whole front or back, and the air system won't respond for like an hour. Then all of a sudden...brrrbrbrbrr and it goes back up on its own and is fine. I think a relay or something is getting justled or otherwise wigging the system out. 🤷

    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.
