Really like your channel, Brad. You're very informative, humble (NOT a "hot dog") on the trail, and are always trying to stay safe. I like that you explain everything quite thoroughly. I find it very helpful to see/hear your comparisons among other WK2s and also comparisons to other makes/models. Great job!

Cool video! I took my bone stock 98 XJ on that trail, both the south and north sections and had a blast. There were a couple of ground contacts here and there, but we had a ton of fun on that trail. Definitely, it's easier to run with lower tire pressure.

Couldn’t agree with you more, I dont have lockers or limited slip diffs but I still enjoy the challenge. the wranglers and gladiators who think its easy, great they sank a ton more money than I ever could into a Jeep, I’d hope they wouldn’t get stuck or I would question why they put so much money towards one. Just my two cents, glad to hear you guys are doing well! Stay safe

I was wondering until the end if this was old footage just to keep us stoked for November. Looking forward to it. Waiting for some coordinates to plan our boondock. See ya soon. I agree with your logic. The tricked out Wranglers need to find another pasture to play in if they want a challenge. And Moab will deliver.

All new footage! We are in the process of doing different trails to be up on what will work for the Moab trip in November. We will stop out sites as well. right now we are about 30 miles north of Moab. But hope to be a bit closer that weekend. Looking forward to it.

GC is hella capable and also adds a lot of creature comforts youd want on a daily driver opposed to a wrangler. That is why i chose the GC over the wrangler. I commute almost 40 miles a day to work

Hey Brad. Great video. I have a 2020 GC trailhawk. Curious if front, rear and sump armor came into play on this trip? Rock Rails look like a definate. We've still got this vehicle stock for the time being. Keep the videos coming and stay safe.

You wouldn’t need the sump armor if you took off the lower front fascia you would be good. Rails would help for sure. But with a good spotter you could do it stock.

Ddawg I think front and rear armor are a great thing. You will drag your tailpipe on part of this trail. But if you go slow it won’t damage it. If you take of that lower front fascia you will be fine in this trail. If you plan on doing other more difficult trails in the area. Like hells revenge. Then yes you would need both. Good luck!

Your videos are interesting. I like seeing what a GC can do or not. Several unanswered questions: Are you in Lo range all the time? What 4x4 mode is it in? (I assume 'rock' for this, but do you think the mode selector makes any real difference? I'd like to see you tackle a semi-difficult section in all modes for comparison.) Do the off-road pages in the Uconnect system help at all? Do you use them? You mention the open diffs on the old Cherokee, but of course your TH has an open front diff as well. Do you ever wish for an LSD front diff? Also, what is the tire pressure set at? Also, I see you removed the front valance. Is it permanently removed?

@ProdigalOverland

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the questions! I usually only go into 4 low once things start to slip. Or there is a big climb. The mode selector does make a difference. We recently tested this on sand dunes. Look for that video. We would like to try it on different terrains in future videos The off road pages are a nice feature but I don’t feel like they are a must have feature. And yes the front of the Trailhawk is open but it has the active braking system that can redirect power. I don’t feel we are limited by that system. yes we just got rid of the front valance. I didn’t want to have to mess with putting it on and off. On the trails our tire pressure range if from 18-25 depending on terrain and how much ground clearance we need.

Looking at a Grand Cherokee overland and a GX460... Anyone have any suggestions on which one is better to Access off-road and trails. ( Im looking for a V8 and keeping it stock so out of the box off-road capabilities are much appreciated

Hi, Brad! As usual a great video with valuable commentary. I am writing this from Thessaloniki, Greece. I am coming to the States on Nov.1st and taking delivery of a 2020 JGC Trailhawk that week. I'd very much like to participate in the November Moab adventure, but I doubt I have the time to do any (simple but basic necessary) mods to it. Do you think as it is, completely stock, may do the job? Thanks. P.S. Here in Greece I have a (stock!) 2014 JGC Overland Trail Rated, that has taken me to some serious trails with no problems. Obviously our trails here and in Italy are no match to the ones on your side of the pond! ;-) Any thoughts? BTW, what are the dates in November and where exactly is the gathering spot/place? I'll be coming from Atlanta, GA. Tks

The trip is on our website. under the events link but the dates are Nov 6-8. Its about 1700 miles from Atlanta to Moab. If you can't make that weekend we might be able to work something out. As far as difficulty we can work around stuff. I actually don't know what trails we are going to do that weekend yet. We are doing several in the area to see which would be best. Why don't you send us an email ( contact@prodigaloverland.com ) and we can try to work something out. Thanks for reaching out!
