WK2 is great! Almost 600 miles driving range per tankful of gas - and very tough. Same engine and transmission as the Wrangler. This model built for 11 years - huge parts availability in the future. Great styling too.

I did the Rough Country 2.5" lift with my stock Jeep 20" Altitude wheels. Put Goodyear Ultraterrain 275/55r20's. No rubbing at all unless I get deep into something. From the looks of your total build we have a very similar setup. I do a lot of back country in northern Michigan. Love my WK2.

I just stumbled upon your channel. I am working on a 2005 WK Limited with the Hemi. I bought it used, but it had 56k original miles, and I have owned it for a little over 2 years now. I put the Old Man Emu 2" lift and running 265/70 R17 tires for now. I did pretty much the same thing you did by buying items that were a little less in price, and so far things have worked out great. My dash is configured a bit different than yours, I had an empty spot at the bottom of the dash stack, where your flip door is. I took apart the center stack and ran the wires in their, now I have my light switches there. I just sub'd, great work on that GC, I look forward to see more stuff.

John..My Brother, My Brother from another Motha...... I have been doing some Grand Cherokee youtube research for the past 4-5 years. This year I had a major life change that made it possible for me to finally purchase one of my Dream Jeeps (Yeah I said one of, Grand Cherokee was #1, Commandor is #2). Last Saturday I took delivery of my new 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Loredo X 4x4 and after owning 2 vehicles with Sunroofs, I do not miss the worry As I sit and write this, I am having second thoughts about the dealer punking me for 3 add-ons Crossbars, rooftop rack and side steps at the estimated tune of $1,600.00 added to my finance. I have some sad new for them tomorrow - I will rolling in with your shopping list of my 3 items. Now I had planned to have the dealer install them so they would be covered by warranty. Love the Tire Choice and appreciate you keeping the stock wheels. Your ride looks sicker than paying $2,500 for and aftermarket. I already dropped a few Bills on similar interior add-ons like your vent mount. And I am so ordering the tablet mount for my S7 Man I wanted to find a real Overlander who was not affraid to show a budget build on his Grey Granite Cherokee. Keep the Shiny side up and remember note everyone who wonders is lost. hey what alarm do you have installed? I was thinking about just adding aHigh visibility light when alarm is armed her in Arizona. Keep up the great videos I will check out a few more of your videos. Take care man

Digging the channel. Im sure it will grow. How do you like the aluminum skid plates? I like the weight savings over steel; but now I'm more curious .... How has the aluminum held up? Also, thats a really nice build.

@GrandExploration Год назад

Thanks!!! Yea I’ve really enjoyed watching this channel grow. The aluminum plates have held up pretty nicely especially while using them for more than what they are made for. The only issue I ran into was, I put a steel front guard on since this video and I bashed it pretty good. The steel of course held up but it caused the aluminum sump plate to bend and get pushed back. So far I just hammered it flat again but I’ll probably need to go steel for the things I’m doing now.

I’ve got that 6 Monkeys kicker panel coming, I figure that would be a good way to mount a fire extinguisher and some daily carry stuff in easy reach. How do you like yours? Is it sturdy once it’s installed? Looks like just the two mounting screws? Anyway, love the channel and content, I’m subbed!

Just found this page and have been loving the vids. I have a 2018 grand Cherokee and have been looking to build mine into something like this. Love the way yours looks. Did you add anything to protect the radiator when you mounted the light? Or did you just keep the lower bumper off without adding anything? I like the look of the bumper being off but was curious about that

@GrandExploration 7 месяцев назад

Thank you man. Glad you enjoy the channel. I don’t run the lightbar anymore because I added protection plates but when I did, no I just drilled straight up into the frame. I used to run it with the lower guard on but as I started doing more off-roading I just kept it off. I finally smashed the light on a rock and decided to remove it.

@scotianbank 10 месяцев назад

Sick build! I'm planning a similar build (at least in terms of suspension and tires). I gotta couple of questions thought. First, how much pinch-welding did you have to do to fit those tires? And lastly, how is the ride quality compared to stock with that suspension lift kit? I'd love to get the extra ground clearance, but I'm not willing to sacrifice the amazing ride quality of these Grand Cherokees. Thanks!

@GrandExploration 10 месяцев назад

Thank you!!! With the tire size in this video 275/65 R18 I did not need to do the pinch-weld. I had zero rubbing. If you watch my updated walk around video, I have moved up to 275/70 18 which is a 33 now. For that I had to flatten the pinch-weld flush. All the way flat. And I only get a bit of rub on the passenger front plastic fender which can be fixed by adjusting my strut up a bit. The Dobinson lift is amazing but the ride quality is going to depend on the spring you choose from their site. I have the medium coil which I think is rated for an extra 400lbs. Then there is a coil spring up from that which is stiffer or there is one below mine which is more kushy and closer to the stock ride but cannot take as much weight. For me the medium spring feels great. I notice it being a bit stiffer but when you go over a bump or obstacle you can still feel it squish down. I think you will be very happy with dobinson. Just pick the spring that will best suit you.

Hey bro your Jeep build is sick. This video crossed my feed and I had to subscribe. I’m in the process of modifying my 17 Limited. I’m definitely adding a few items from your setup. First though, how are your spacers holding up. Someone told me to get KSP spacers but I noticed you have titans. Have you had any issues with them so far and did you order their lug nuts too?

@GrandExploration Год назад

Hey how’s it going? I appreciate that!!! No my spacers have been great and I’m hard on my Jeep. They are what’s called hub centric spacers so the stress isn’t on the lugs it’s on the hub. Another great brand is Bora spacers. Mine are a 1.5” and I did buy their lugs nuts at first and did not use them cuz they are super long. My stock ones worked fine

@GrandExploration Год назад

I have even upgraded to bigger tires since this video and they are holding strong. You just want to make sure a couple hundred miles after you install them, go back and re-torque them to spec. Then you will be good to go

I didn’t see too much of a difference with these. But I just went up again to a 33” and I have noticed a drop in torque. It still gets up and goes when I need it too. I would suspect some issues in the dunes. So to answer your question no I did not have to but it would probably be good to do it

Hey man, nice build. Did you test your 275/65 R18 without the lifted suspension? Wonder if I can fit em with the stock air suspension. Dont want to lift. Another question regarding the ipad clip.. how stiff is it with the arm? Does the ipad wobble when you go on a trail? Does the whole console/dashboard wobble? Its some weight on it with a good lever... Cheers from Germany

@GrandExploration 7 месяцев назад

Hey thanks 🙏. When I had the 275/65 I already had a 2inch spacer but a buddy I know runs that size on his trail hawk with air suspension and he’s fine. You might want to look into the offroad animal links that don’t allow it to go into its lowest mode. As far as the pro clips. Nothing jiggles. Everything is secure off-road. I have had zero problems. You just don’t want to smack it with you hand back and forth because it can start to back out. But it has been wonderful.

I was looking for the pieces to my cross bar kit to make the video and I don’t think I have the stock components any longer. But I’ll tell you this. It’s pretty simple. Once you purchase the crossbars which I have as a link in the description, the kit will come with spacers that attach to your side rails. Then, there will be a bolt in the kit that is used to bolt the cross bar to the spacer. Throw the spacer away, take the bolt to the hardware store and find the same size bolt just longer. Long enough to reach through the cross bars and into the side rail holes on your Jeep. Then your done ✅

I've to decide between a Rough Country and a Bilstein 2.5" lift for my wk2.

@GrandExploration 5 месяцев назад

You want my opinion?

@GrandExploration 5 месяцев назад

Go Bilstein 100%. If you get rough country you are getting rid of a decent stock suspension for one that is highly inferior. I don’t believe you will be happy with it and I think you will regret it. I think you will be happy with Bilstein. They are a solid product. Just know you get what you pay for. Your stock suspension is worth way more than a $500 RC suspension.

@joseantoniopenafiel4079 5 месяцев назад

What are you using for your gas can and mounting bracket?

@GrandExploration Год назад

The black Jerry can is a 2.5gallon and a Jerry can holder. The holder comes with two mounting holes on each side. I purchased a 1/4 inch aluminum slat drilled the holes to match the holder and attached it to my roof basket bars with some bolts.

@GrandExploration 5 месяцев назад

But just in case you need to know sooner. All I did was take away the riser pieces of the cross bars(the piece that would normally attach to the side rails) I went to the hardware store to find a bolt long enough to pass through the cross bars and into the side rails bolt holes. The bolt holes you will be using are from the bolts to the side rail so just remove them on each side and replace it with the longer bolt.

@codytatum9510 5 месяцев назад

@BigRedOverlanding Год назад

Hey man how did you bolt the cross bars directly to the rails

@GrandExploration Год назад

I removed the risers that come with the cross bars. I took the bolt that the cross bars come with to the hardware store and found the same size just longer so that it would reach through the cross bars to the rail.

What do you guys think is the largest tire size I could run with the bf Goodrich Ko2s on the stock 20” rim with the rough country 2.5 inch lift ?

@JoeB210 4 месяца назад

I was thinking 265/60r/20 but correct me if you think they’re will be rubbing ?

@GrandExploration 4 месяца назад

@@JoeB210 265/60 R20 is about 32.5”. I had zero rubbing when I was running 32’s with a 2.5” lift. The rim size doesn’t really matter it will still measure out the same even if it were on 18’s. It just means you’re going to have less side wall. The only thing you may have to do is cut your pinch weld. Maybe

@runituphotty216 Год назад

Was it easy to replace the Quadra lift

@GrandExploration Год назад

I didn’t have the Quadra lift but I heard it’s not too bad. You just have to make sure you buy the proper shocks. Dobinsons lift has the proper shocks for the conversion

@ryanp6999 Год назад

@GrandExploration Год назад

It’s easy enough to do it yourself. Just make 3 horizontal cuts and hammer it back the spray some primer on it

@rguitarist Год назад

Did you do dobinson all the way around? Did your GC come with factory tow package? If so, any issues running different suspension in the rear?

@GrandExploration Год назад

Yes I did Dobinsons all the way around. My GC did come with tow package but not the Nivomat self leveling shocks that some come with so no issues. But Dobinsons has alternatives for that if you do

@rguitarist Год назад

@@GrandExploration Hmmm… I’m confused… so is it a factory tow package with trailer plugins or just an aftermarket hitch? Two different thing completely. A factory tow package would’ve come with Nivomat shocks. Jeep looks great either way!

@GrandExploration Год назад

Factory with pluggins brother. And no Nivomat. Trust me. That was the main thing I was hung up on before I spent money on the lift. I even got the factory build sheet from where I bought it and sure enough, tow package and no Nivomat

@GrandExploration Год назад

My only reason for maybe why I don’t is that they were swapped out and changed cuz of age but I honestly don’t know or maybe an owner/dealer add on. But I know what your talking about. The aftermarket sits way low. Mine is behind the bumper with built in plugs. You can see on my IG @grandexploration.

@rguitarist Год назад

@@GrandExploration Okay, I see it now. Looks factory. So, my next question, did get any warning lights after replacement shocks went on? The reason I ask is because some kits come with plug in to fuse box. So, you purchased the non-nivomat kit? I’m doing something similar but with Eibach suspension kit. Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Really enjoy your videos. Sent you a follow on IG. 🤙🏼
