Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK2) 3 INCH LIFT
My 14 WK2 came with the original upgraded HID headlights , and I love them especially the LED running daylight , the only I worried was when the LED strip daylight would die or stop working , since it’s a a none replaceable part and u would have to buy an entire headlight, the only option was OEM or the missimmoto and those run over a $1,000 bucks , I checked your link and I was shocked , surprised at the price of $390 for the set , now I know if I ever need to replace mines to get these at a very low price
Wassup my Braddah as usual nice upgrade to your Jeep! Cuzin! You gotta get some cordless impacts etc....lol make things easier and faster.......as always, Love and Aloha my Braddah!!!
I've been looking at these for awhile but was worried about how'd they look and if they would actually fit and look. Glad you did it for us all to see them. Definitely looking forward to an update on these down the road. Really wish they had an option for green drl though.
@@Night_Fury_jk you bet. Yes that would be dope to be able to change the colors
Just purchased a 2016 GC Summit 5.7 Hemi. Man, I love this vehicle. Has everything I want and more, especially for the harsh winter months. I plan to powder coat the aluminum wheels black and tint the windows all the same shade. Maybe put an intake, and that's about it for me in this luxurious SUV.
those looks really good man , hows the lense .. an upgrade over the stock lenses?
Where did you pick up those ditch light brackets? I can't find any for my WK2
6monkeys.net/shop/ols/products/pod-light-brackets
6monkeys my brotha
Yes please
I was just wondering what happened to your buddy with the wj ?? Love the look the new lights gave it.
Thanks. His Jeep was down for a while. But he’s back. We are headed out tomorrow actually
Great choice 👊🏿💯
Appreciate it. I’m happy with them so far
They look dope af
Thanks fam
Great video as usual. Love this mod, looking at doing this to my 2016. 🔥🔥
@@robertharris8884 thank you! Yes! Do it
That looks great! Black on black on black, what’s number of them? Vland? 👍🏼
Thanks! Yea I like them. Yes Vland. About $500
A little tip for working with silicone: put a dab of liquid dish soap on your finger then run it along the silicone and you can smooth it out without it sticking to your finger. 👍🙂

Hi, I am a Korean and your fan I am 30 years old this year and my dream car was Jeep Grand Cherokee I bought it 5 years ago and it's still riding well I happened to watch your RUclips channel a year ago I've been enjoying it so much I'm always rooting for you. Good luck
Thank you that means a lot !!! That’s pretty cool you got your dream car! I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel!
Those are dope 😎 they look good on yur WK2. Been thinking about doing it to mine but I still like the old school look. You may have changed my mind tho lol
@@Ontrail82 I was exactly like you. I liked the old style too
Been wanting to upgrade my 15 halogen lights and this video just cleared everything up. Thanks for the install video! Looks great
@@rrodfixrguydude glad I could nudge you haha. Appreciate it
Sick
They look epic! Definitely want to hear how they hold up after doing some trails and going through some water.
Thanks. Well this weekend looks pretty wet here in WA so we’ll find out! Haha
What are you running for suspension upgrades.
@@RobertLeonard-g9f Dobinson IMs full suspension lift accompanied with 6m front and rear shim for 3” lift. Bwoody lateral toe arms and Bwoody ext. swaybar links.
Does your jeep have air suspension?🤔
@@c.m.cunningham1175 no I have coil over
Was this done on a jeep with the “air ride” or whatever the hell they call it?
This was a coil to coil swap. Not Quadra lift
The website for the lift seems confusing. So many options. How do I know what to choose for all the spring options? Could I get a detailed part list for the lift? Have a 2015 overland with “air ride” (don’t roast me) and having a hard time finding one that will work
I’m having a hard time finding it too. Everything is now saying does not support Quadra lift. I’ll have to dive deeper
@@GrandExploration let me know! Greatly appreciated and love your content. Slowly watching them all! Lol
Wranglers are cool and all..but built out WK2s are Fire. Of course I might be biased though because I own a JGC Limited...but still..lol
@@unityxg the design is real nice on these rigs
Pen engine? Looks beastly! (Mines.a.Pen.too....)
Yup 3.6. On my 2nd one lol
I also don't float
Wassup my Braddah....Awesome video as always. The scenery...the company...the new friends you all made just the good vibe that it brings out in everyone when fourwheeling together. As always Love and Aloha my Braddah!
All thanks to you!!!! Appreciate you
Do you have a V8
@@brandonflaum5382 I wish. No 3.6
Super cool night shots with the drone! I was taught by the OG offeoaders...whenever you are on dirt...4Low. There are a few exceptions, but its just overall easier on the vehicle AND the trail. No low range/torque means more send it, more send it means more broken parts. No thanks.
@@FearlessTrailhawk thank you and your absolutely right. I notice when guys have to just send it, that’s when they break it
Wish I didn’t sell my jeep :( but my 2wd prerunner will get it done! Hopefully the 35s and 4.88 rear gear would get me up that. Pretty sick you did that hill. I’m glad we didn’t even try it in the snow!
@@SuperDubmonster rewind!!!!! You did what?!!!!! How dare you. You didn’t even consult me? Haha
Good video. I like Subaru's . I have owned 3 or 4 of them, and currently daily one. With that said I knew right away no matter how much "lift & Lockers" you give them they are not offroad rigs. Great for FS roads, but once you put them on trails like the one in this video you are stressing components like crazy. PLEASE TO NOT ATTEMPT this trail in the rain. Its hell even on 40's sometimes. My offroad rig is a 2016 JKUR 1 tons, 40's, hydro assist, 4" lift, and a shit ton of other mods. Hope to see you on the trails. ~Cheers
Why did you have to say don’t do it?!!!! Now I have to haha. Thanks ! Hope to see you!!!
Nice.
Rock mode is basically a "better simulation" of front and rear lockers. Rock mode makes the traction system more aggressive. Those modes just "hint" The computer about the coefficient friction. And so that helps the programming for the traction systems. With mine , it makes the brake lock differential programming more aggressive. Your system is a little different. You have quadra drive which is a little bit different (supposed to be better). For my jeep , I can't use rock mode unless I'm also in low... And being in low adds a ton more torque. So that's the connection. Technically.. it's like 2.73 times more torque in mine. Whatever your transfer case ratio is... That's the torque multiple. That's wheel torque,not engine torque... But at the end of the day , especially for off road, wheel torque is all that matters. Wheel torque is gearing x engine torque (basically).
Thank you for making me smarter!!! Much appreciated. And I actually have the same as you. QT2. I wish I had QD.
Great idea for a video! There's always three things that keep me from buying a Subaru. 1. No low range 2. CVT 3. Front bumper / approach angle sucks.
@@off-roadingexplained8417 hey! Thanks. Low range is a big factor
I almost bought a Subaru Outback Wilderness but couldn't work the numbers out like I wanted with the dealership. They asked about a 4WD Jeep Grand Cherokee and I didnt really think much about it. Drove it and liked it and it worked out instead. The more I've learned about it, the ZF8, 295HP 3.6, I'm glad I ended up with the Jeep instead. It's been a great vehicle.
@@unityxg it has definitely worked out great for me. They can do a lot more than people give them credit for
I hope one day mine will look like yours 🫶
I'm glad I found your channel. Good stuff. I grew up on Tacomas with wood beds in the early 90s. I find a lot of value in building what you like using what you have on hand. Just getting out there in nature with friends is what's important, not what you drive.
@@DON4419 thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying. That’s awesome
Is there a suspension lift you recommend for wk2 with a 5.7?
I would still say dobinson ims. Just with HD springs
@GrandExploration thank you man! Trying to fit 33s
What brand? Bit really trynna pay for those OEM ones
@@ohfawkno4335 I feel ya. These are precision axles
Hey, what was your first off road focused upgrade? What order would you suggest to go in and also: would you do anything differently if you had to start over?
@@simcptmike how’s it going? Great question. My first focus was tires. Tires are everything! From there I looked into suspension. Everything else comes with your preference and how you use your vehicle. You will start customizing your setup to meet your needs. There are some things I regret buying starting off that were higher price tag items which sucks. You should check out my video “3 off-road mods I regret”
Thx for the reply, I'll for sure check that video out! Admittedly I'm still working through all your content! 😎
@@simcptmike ha I appreciate it! And no problem. It’s been a journey starting off knowing nothing to finally getting a decent understanding of creating the right build.
Don’t hurt Bravo!
Never!
Dumb question why can’t we lift the wk2 more than 3 inches. We are limited on parts and lifts
@@alexanderb4795 the angle that the cv axle can go is limited. If it is angled too much you will start breaking them
can't hear you that good...
My apologies. One of my earlier videos. Wasn’t too good at editing then
Pretty mellow trail for that wk2. I loved mine but it was at the dealership 5 times in 18 months. The last one was 8 weeks for a sensor. As soon as I got it back it went straight to a trade in for a diesel gladiator.
Désaccouple tes barres stabilisatrices, tu l'aimeras encore plus 😅
Yes. Doing it this week!! We just had a convo about that
@@GrandExploration, j'ai enlevé les 2 biellettes à l'avant, et enlevé la barre entière à l'arrivée 😉
Capable but not as capable as a wrangler of course like no duh I have a wrangler and want a wk2 6.4 and I want to lift it and put front and rear steel bumpers and rock sliders cause I want loud and capable and fast all in one yes there is the 6.4 wrangler but that is 66,000 at the cheapest I’ve seen it and the wk2 more Luxurious I like that and spacious I like that and stable I like that and cheaper by more than half at it’s Cheapest I’ve seen I like that lol but I also love articulating like crazy so idk maybe I gotta start saving 😂
@@apexjeep8861 you got it all figured out !
Only thing I hate about my 5.7 wk2 Is biggest lift they sell is 2.5 inches. Heads up I don't think the srt wk2 has 4wd low. I got the 5.7 because it has 4 low and all the different terrain modes
“That’s what he said.” 😂 Wonderful, thank you so much!
Amazing channel, excellent content and a believer. God bless you. It’s nice to have content to watch with my kids without worrying.
I’m glad you enjoy the channel. Thank you. It means alot
You have a v6 with 33 tires, lifted and off road equipment Do you feel that it has good power and do you recommend it? or if it feels a little heavy or slow and you would recommend a v8
I’ll start off my saying. I wish I had the V8. More power, especially for gear and it’s a better engine than the 3.6. I’m on my 2nd engine. With that being said, I don’t know how the previous owner treated that engine. They really need to be warmed up before driving. But! The power I have has always been pretty sufficient even with my gear and add ons. Watch next week and you’ll see my towing a built Subaru up a straight up rocky incline. But yes v8 is better
Always looking forward to your videos. Hey can you mention in the upcoming videos when you switch into 4 low? Curious as to when the wk2 actually needs to go into it VS what it can do without it. Second, what kind of drone you running? Looks great
@@simcptmike absolutely I can. Headed tobthevtrails now and I’m running the dji mini 4 pro with ND filters
Beautiful scenery though! I know you're an OnX fanboy, but it really isn't reliable for finding trails. I've never been a fan of it as its worse than Gaia in many regards, and besides, Trails Offroad beats the pants off of all of them, superior trail guide app! OnX is too heavily user dependent for any information, which in my area has some "trails" listed that are most definitely private property, but you won't know that from OnX (the public trails are just easements through private property, so the property ownership layer is 100% useless in most cases)
That kind of fault can cost people their lives in some states if they go on private property. That’s horrible. I’ll have to checkout trails off-road
@@GrandExploration its come close once or twice that i've heard of. Shots were fired a couple years ago. Locals guard their crops with vigor around here.
@@FearlessTrailhawk I bet
