Finally got it done! Welcome to the 4th off-road video from our Moab trip in November 2020. Follow us on Instagram @funkywk2
Top of the World is a Jeep Badge of Honor trail, but is NOT for the faint of heart. We left with moderate front bumper and fender damage, wheel dents, chips, and scrapes. This trail is at the high end of the GC’s capability, in my opinion. There are ledges, large rocks, and boulders; All of which require picking good lines.
About 1/2 way up the trail, a group of Toyota’s caught up to us. They were all really cool and didn’t mind us tagging along, so we ran at the back of their pack. They were great spotters, but I don’t think they were used to the independent suspension on our Trailhawk as I would have picked different lines in some places.
Mods at time of Moab trip:
• 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Hemi Trailhawk
• Mopar factory skid plates and rock rails
• Offroad Animal Front Bumper & Hooks
• Offroad Animal Bash Plate (sump skid plate)
• Offroad Animal Hidden Winch Mount

• Smittybilt 12k X2O Comp Winch
• Hooke Road Hitch Skid
• VIAIR 300P compressor
If you're planning a trip to the Moab area, I highly suggest the trail guide book from Funtreks (I am not paid by them) as it provides info on most of the trails in the area and includes GPS waypoints and info on some obstacles. I also highly recommend joining one of the several FB groups so you can plan meets with others that will be there the same days and you can find out about trail conditions. .gpx files are available on jeeptheusa.com as of Jan 2021.
The lifted JK in the video belongs to our friends and it shows a good contrast to the WK2 on some of the obstacles. Most of the video was shot by my wife, but some was also shot by the other couple.
