In October i was invited down to Tennessee for the weekend, so i took the chance to head over to Windrock one day and grab a couple more Badges. Met up with a subscriber and hit the trails! It was great to meet you Ken and thanks for guiding me around the massive park!
Hope everyone has a great Turkey day! Though i'm likely done wheeling for the winter, i still have plenty of videos from this summer/fall to edit!
Mods:
-Rocky Road Super Sliders (rock rails)
-Dobinsons KL Trailhawk suspension lift, paired with partial Hazard Sky lift spacers to achieve 2" lift
-32" Milestar Patagonia MTs (265/70/17) (had to trim front fenders and pinch welds)
-40" Rough Country Curved LED DLR Light bar with Hazard Sky mounts
-Rock Lights (cheapo)
-4" Pod Lights (cheapo)

Having an Trail hawk is like having the best of both worlds, off-road capable and family car.

Those kids seeing your Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk on Panther Rock may have very well left a lasting impact on them. When I was a kid, I loved cars and trucks but was completely oblivious to this fact. When I came upon uncommon cars, they left such an impression that over two decades later I remember the encounters. Jeep Comaches, BMW 8-series, Dodge Vipers, Suzuki Samurais are only some of the uncommon vehicles I clearly remember seeing in person as a young boy. Yes, you do in fact drive a car, a crossover because of its unibody construction. But you use 110% of the Trailhawk's Trail-Rated capability and routinely impress me with the obstacles you overcome. Even with a car, you've continued to do justice to the Trailhawk badge, Trail-Rated badge, and especially the Jeep heritage. This is coming from a car enthusiast who is a massive Subaru fan. I love Subaru's more than Jeeps, but videos like yours continue to demonstrate the superiority of the Jeep Trail-Rated crossovers' off-road prowess.

@FearlessTrailhawk Жыл бұрын

Never noticed any issues. Were you in 4Low or still in 4-High, because the whole system has to work harder on the trails if you stay in high. Also make sure your radiator is clean, if you go through and mud puddles it can easily get clogged up and prevent the needed cooling effects.
