• 4x4 Mayhem @ Wheeny Creek
*This video has reached 1M views. Thank you everyone for making it possible* ✌ It was one of the earlier uploads and the 3rd video on our channel to go viral.
I Just love this video 😍. 👍If you agreed. Cheers legends!

one of the few off road videos of the jgc where the drivers actually know what they are doing, no music, no useless talk A+ video
Unlike in most off-roading videos on KZhead, these guys actually know what they're doing.
Glad you liked it 👍
+chansetwo Exactly what I'm trying to say to ppl
@@AussieFourWheelers these jeep would be the worst you could get. Could not think of anything lows... shit box
Hahahaha they have no idea
@Alex K you're exactly right overpriced shitboxes for instance $40,000 for pump and injectors
I would like to congratulate the Jeep driver because he really knows the capabilities of his vehicle. A true master behind the wheel of this Jeep.
The Jeep in this video is not a HEMI, it is a V6 with traction control.
All that brand hate. So much wasted energy. Lovely video and very nice driving. Both models seem to be in very capable hands, and it goes to show with the right driver it really doesn't need massive lifts, aggressive tires and a heavy right foot to cover trails like this.
Thanks for a balanced comment.
@@AussieFourWheelers remd
im impressed by the capability of the cherokee
totally agree, same here.
Grand cherokee
With that traction control, it can do pretty crazy things
Jeep made it look easy.. love it.
This is one of those videos that you found by accident or was recommended by the algorithm but for sure you are glad to had stumble upon it. Personally those are two unmatched vehicles however both did perfectly fine! Enjoyable video from start to finish!
It's been a while I'm seeing experienced drivers doing some casual off roading
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍👍
Amazing how good these cars are off road, especially while driven by experience drivers. Well done!
Thanks 👍 Glad you liked it.
I'm getting a 2015 Laredo 4x4. It's good to see that (with good tyres) it's just as competent in the bush as I thought.
I use to drive my mother's 2013 Grand Cherokee back when I first got my license.. Being in Canada it was tremendously amazing during winter, super comfortable rallying dirt roads at high speeds lol, and never left me stranded once
The Jeep Grand Cherokee do it with a street tires. It´s amazing.
Никогда и подумать не мог что Чероки на такое способен. Спасибо за видео....
I'm glad you like them, thanks. More to come...
Love my wk2, once you go Jeep, you never get back.
Great video. Team JGC! One of the videos you can watch over and over again admiring the exploits of the WK2. Aside for the Quadra trac, the approach and departure angles were superior here.
I love my Jeep GC and have great respect for the Patrol.
Great video. Still learning how to drive my Grand Cherokee.
This video reinforces why I'm not upgrading wheels/tires on my wk2. For one, its my daily driver and two, its still fully capable for whatever I'll be putting it through 4 times a year.
I was impressed with both vehicles - I love the styling of the Jeep - also the drivers in this video are so bloody good !
Interesting how the Jeep 4x4 system selects the wheel(s) with the most traction. Thanks for the vid boys.
Because of traction control. No worries. I'm glad you liked the video. Hopefully I'll have some more good ones.
Aussie Four Wheelers (Hemi4WD) Does this Jeep have the electronic rear locker or is it all done with traction control? Is it Quadra Lift or steel springs? Impressive stuff. Good job.
Traction control only, steel springs but I have a 2 inch spacer lift.
Nicholas Klapsogiannis That's awesome. Nice driving and thanks for the reply.
Nice rocky tracks, can really see the traction control of the Jeep working, good driving, enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing.
No probs. Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
love your videos. If I may ask Hemi, what is your line of work if you need the fully prepped 4x4? (sounds like my kind of work!).
Patrol suspensions makes it more powerful on rocky terrain. I love it
Far out, these videos just keep getting better
these videos are great guys. looking forward to the next ones
Why can't everyone just enjoy the sight of a couple of people out enjoying 4WDriving FFS
they are. look at the comments
+Oz Bloke 👌
+Equim Yes, most people are 👍
Gotta love the traction control on that Jeep
Amazing video, I'm wondering if you used a Canon SLR to shoot this video. The video quality is so good.
Thanks bud. Glad you liked it.
Hands down the Jeep is a beast Jeep Grand Cherokee...all the way
Nice video, what camera do you use?
Im very impressed with the Jeep performance for a luxury SUV, well done Jeep!
Jeep looks comfortable. Confident of its ability
RagingTiger
Now the just need to make it reliable and look after all there coustomers..
I have a 2012 Jeep GC and it’s reliable. I just keep up with maintenance of course. I also have a 04 wrangler and 11 compass, no problems.
@@edsil5754 you must be one of the only few lucky ones mate we bought a brand new JK Jeep Wrangler diesel Auto 4 door in 2010 was the biggest Shitbox i of ever owned
Great video mate. Impressive how both cars managed the obstacles in a quite tamed manner. Enjoyed watching this. :)
Thanks a lot for the compliments mate, I'm glad you enjoyed watching it.
Great video looks like you all were fun keep it up
That GC is awesome and you guys' driving skills are fantastic. Subbed.
Thank you.
I own a 2019 grand cherokee .. but really love the style and the old school tec on the nissan. That car is actually very capable. Great vid and amazing trail guys 👍
Thanks a lot. Glad you liked the video.
I am impressed with how much control the Jeep maintained. It was thinking how to best climb in every situation, putting the power exactly where it wanted it and the air suspension leveled it out perfectly. The ironic thing is that the Cherokee is really a crossover always has been.
+Bruce B Its a Laredo, it doesn't have air suspension
Not taking sides. But HOLY SQUEAKING BATMAN! I had to turn the volume down @2:00! In stark contrast, from 4:10 to 6:20 all I heard was rain.
The UHF antenna should be in the front of the GC, to avoid interruption from the rear mounted FM antenna. BTW.. what tyres the GC is running on?
Why is everyone so impressed with the Jeep? It's designed to do this! In any case, as far as I am concerned, if they both finished the trip without breaking, they both win. They may do it different ways, but they get the job done. But I's still rather have the Jeep and do it in luxurious comfort and style..
The patrol was also designed for this
Try driving the Nissan on the highway for a whole day, Jeep is much better!
Stupidity such as yours still amazes me.
I've been in both on the highway all day (1991 patrol instead of a 98+ but the point stands still) and id rather be in the patrol cause I have far more faith in it getting me home without having to work out, why all of a sudden the computer won't let me have 4wd, the lights in the sun visors are trying to catch fire, the abs module has stopped working and I have no brakes at all, why the check engine light is on (on ours turned out to be a cracked head from poor material quality) plus the seats weren't even very comfortable after the patrol
In this video, yes!
Hi Ken, just as Nicholas said, his is the WK2 and I still have my HEMI WK, I love it to much, can't think of selling it yet. Yeah, that's my Patrol that I use for work, it's stock with a factory rear locker.
Coming from someone who uses a 2011 Grand Cherokee for offloading one of the biggest factors is having the right tires to get the job done. I personally use sub-terrain tires because it gives a combination of a highway tire and a off road tire. For optimal performance using a All-Terrain tire is the obvious best option.
No, the biggest factor is having a driver knowing what they are doing.
Where in Menai? I have been looking for places to drive near Heathcote but couldn't find any tracks that were open to the public?
Awesome vid!! Quick question (not sure if the owner of these vehicles actually posted this video) I also have a patrol (series 3 with the 4.8L petrol engine) and also on gas and I was just wondering what size gas bottle you have used as my one seems to hang a little lower but is only a 70L tank (60L useable) which is smaller then the normal gas bottles used for a patrol. Cheers
rdsousa1 Thanks mate. The LPG tank on this Patrol is 90L, if that helps.
What's the point of comparing a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee against a 15 year old Patrol?
***** You're right, a 15 year old Jeep is better.
mate i got a gq and i think they have a cult following fuck jeep would not be as reliable and too plastic
That patrol is fast
Patrol or land cruiser estan muchisiiimooo mejor q una descartable jeep peor si esa jeep es cheroke
15 years old Patrol wins in every offroad place...and is beautiful, wonderful and amazing, a real 4x4
Can you show me where this trail is??? :P
great video! hello from Houston Texas
Thank you 👍 Glad you liked it.
Great video! Where were you driving? I just bought a GC overland diesel, like to test it out on tracks like this.
Thanks mate! This was at Menai in Sydney, where abouts are you? That diesel has plenty of grunt!
Aussie Four Wheelers (Hemi4WD) I'm just down south from Menai, only 40mins. Love to try these track when I get my car
michael9678727 Let me know when you're ready ;)
Aussie Four Wheelers (Hemi4WD) I will! So do you own the V8 GC and patrol?
Great video! BOth vehicles did well but the Jeep seemed to handle nearly all situations a bit smoother and more confidently; also less jostling. I was surprised to see later in the video that the Jeep was a Laredo. I had expected it to be a Limited with the Quadra Drive II, since it seemed to grab new traction whenever a wheel slipped. Must be that the traction control works well or possibly it was after-market equipped with a locker? Enjoyable and good stuff to learn here about stock ground clearance, etc. Thanks.
This video is a testament to the capabilities of the Jeep Grand Cherokee! I purchased a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland not too long ago and LOVE it. It hasn't disappointed me one bit. I actually think its look is better than the newer models. The larger grill and headlights give it a bolder, more rugged look. The rear taillight's design flow into the center chrome accent, making it look like an SUV rather than a minivan. Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for leaving a comment 👍 Glad you liked the video.
@Walter Londrie Totally agree!
I didn't realize the v6 would perform so well off road before this video lol
Hey mate what lift kit are you running on the Jeep?
In 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee higher models introduced air suspension and later they added it as an optional suspension also to the Laredo model
Great video! im looking to buy a jeep grand Cherokee 2013 crd. love from south africa.
Glad you liked it. All the best with your Jeep.
Yeah, you're right about the WK2's. They have pretty good clearance with the independent suspension compared to my WH/WK model but I don't know how high they could be lifted or what would be the biggest tyre size to put on. In regards to the Land Cruiser and Patrol, LOL, I better not comment, all war will break loose, HAHA, if you know what I mean :D.
Hi guy's I love the video. I am just looking at getting a Wk2. Did that one you used have any lift or the quadralift added? Just not sure which way to go.
No QuadraLift but it had 2 inches of lift.
@@AussieFourWheelers Awesome thanks for the reply. I was thinking about going that way and now will definitely do that
All the best bud 👍
Wonder if my toyota prado can tackle those tracks. Great video love both cars.... but if I have to choose which one performs better... I go with the patrol... jeep struggle at times due to lack of wheel travel.... but performs well otherwise
Nice video , this jeep is quadra trac 1 or 2 ??
QT2
Great video mate. The vehicles are close to comparison. I would like to know Solid axle to solid axle JK Rubi vs Nissan Patrol !
Did the Cherokee have quadra-trac 1 or 2 on this model ? I just had a kid and had to sell my wrangler for something safer with more room so I got a 2011 Grand Cherokee Laredo used. I didnt know anything about the quadra-trac systems at the time I bought it and without realizing the one i bought came with QT1. I do a lot of off roading every week/weekend on the beach and I'm worried now that I might get stuck out there if I attempt it. From the looks of your vid it seems like I shouldnt have a problem if you have QT1 on your Jeep...
Steve Rivera The one in the video is QT2. Damn you weren't aware of the systems during purchase. QT1 has no low range :(
Damn that jeep loves the rocks
It asks for it by name everyday.
Jeep did good. Wish the driver air down tho
Best Off road video I have seen yet. Great video. I have a Nissan patrol myself 2001. I Am thinking about buying the GC. A question, Which one is best do you think. All around and off road. Peace from Iraq
GC with QD2 and a HEMI or even better, a new diesel with 570 Nm of torque, is good but personally, I don't like the look of the WK2 Jeeps, and they're a good all rounder. For offroad, I'd prefer the Patrol with the 4.8L plus it still has solid axles, and there are heaps of mods available for it. It doesn't take much to run 35 inch tyres on it. In Australia you can still purchase them new, so they will come with traction control and a rear locker. I hope that helps. مع السلامة من أستراليا
What a terrific video - great driving from both drivers! I have been reading through the comments and notice that the Jeep has a 2 inch lift. Can this be done without changing the stock shocks and setup? Anyone know if that would void warranty? Thanks for the vid Aussie Four Wheelers!
Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍👍👍 Yes, it was running 2" blocks/spacers on the original suspension. Yes, this kind of setup will void warranty.
@@AussieFourWheelers Ok, thanks for the reply mate. If you have the time to comment again, do you think a stock height WK2 could do similar terrain? Cheers mate, all the best.
They are pretty low from factory, so there would be a bit of scraping for sure. Just bash plate it and see how it goes. Have someone spotting you to make sure you don't clip anything.
@@AussieFourWheelers Thanks for your time mate.
That one in the video is my mate's and I was surprised how well it performed. He also said he gets very good fuel economy. Personally, I love V8's so a HEMI would do fine for me, just love the sound. But if you want real good economy without losing much power, CRD is the way to go then, amazing torque, excellent 0-100 times for an SUV and good low down torque for wheeling.
Awesome trail and amazing driving skills! Thanks for sharing it. I'm so surprised a V6 QC "mom-mobile" is this off-road capable - just helped me decide to buy a used 2011 for my winter ski trips in Michigan.
Rubens Ribeiro the Jeep Grand Cherokee is no qc mom-mobile obviously...it’s an outdoor-mobile
Jeep's fully armoured underneath, plus he's got the rock crushers on the sides, made out of RHS 150x50x5mm. I just did the same on the Patrol but went with a bit lighter 150x50x4mm and tested it (see the 4x4 Mayhem Teaser @ Wheeny Creek video) and not a dent, let alone a bend. Just scratches, which are easily fixed with a spray can LOL. So yeah, the Jeep does very well. The intention is to make it remain looking stock... a sleeper.
I know it's a very old video but can you remember what mode did you guys use in the jeep? Auto or rock?
Sorry, can't remember that.
Sorry, one more question. At 21:15, the Grand Cherokee is making a popping sound. Any idea of what this is? I get this occasionally in my 2014 Grand Cherokee, but typically when it is at Off Road 2 height setting in rough terrain. CV bind?
Pretty sure it's the transfer case chain skipping but also similar sound as traction control
Any issues since? Have to replace/repair anything?
That was some real off-roading... :)
Everyones going on and on about having the Jeep rather than the Nissan but the fact is, that Nissan is from 1998 and why didnt they just compare the Jeep to the Y62 Patrol because the Patrol used here is so much older. The thing is, despite the age, the Patrol can still go anywhere. I actually have a Y62, and I really hope that the Y62 and the Jeep are compared.
Johann Bernz A 1998 Zj with the 5.2 or 5.9 would out-perform this Nissan patrol
Probably because they didn't have access to the Y62. Just enjoy the video for what it is .... sheesh.
Love the violin soundtrack!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Does the Jeep have the air suspension or has it had a lift?
my mind is really set for a grand cherokee 2014 overland ... it would be helpful to get other people's opinions though, so do u support my decision ? i won't be jamming it into these kind of places, perhaps through some sand but mainly on road, please enlighten me with some helpful advice
how much kilometers can go this jeep gc after same offroading?
I wouldn't want to be a second owner of that Cherokee LOL. Great driving and footage guys. Was there any damage to the undercarriage of cars?
The grand has full skid plate system and custom rock rails that cannot be dented (5mm 150x50rhs). No undercarriage damage to either
Another win for the Jeep. Don’t mess with the legend.
Dan R did u actually watch the video?
Jeep = Like a BEAST!! Thumbs up on the off road skills as well, both drivers. But the Jeep made it seem effortless. I have a WJ series Overland.
Just curious... what mode was the Grand Cherokee in? It looks like rock mode. It's odd, because the rock mode actually allows a fair amount of wheel spin. I've found that mud mode is much more aggressive on the traction control. Tire pressures ran? Thanks in advance.
I can't remember but it was in either rock or auto tyre pressure was around 18psi
Thanks! Noted.
Interesting comparison, but the GC comes in on a disadvantage being that it's only got independent suspension. That being said, and considering its a laredo v6 I'd say it did extremely well. (Not to mention tires) All of you guys who are commenting on which one is better as a brand should compare a solid axle jeep to a solid axle competitor. The vid would have been much different if the jeep was a wrangler, with open diffs of course, to be fair. Put the Patrol up against a jk rubicon unlimited with 2 inches of lift and forget it. Then the reliability debate starts lol. Anyway, that's my .02 Good vid though Aussie, keep it up and cheers from the great white north!
Great and balanced comment. Thank you.
People get so butthurt over brands. I prefer Nissans from a mechanic and reliability point of view but I'm not going to shit on Jeep enthusiasts. The rubicon is probably the best Offroader out of the factory bar none.
To be honest I think people put to much stock in Solid axles and articulatation for off roading. They are more important when you have limited slip or open differentials that can't stop the one wheel from spinning, but when you have lockers or brake traction control that can lock the wheel in the air and send pretty much 100% of the torque to the wheel with traction, wheel articulation is a lot less important. Plus with independent suspension you can get better ground clearance.
Thanks mate.
what was the sound making by the patrol while descending in the first 8 mins, and does the jeep equip quadra-drive 2 and quadra-lift?
Quadra Trac II
Did you trade your WK for a WK2? Looks like it's time to throw a small lift on that sucker and go up a size or two on the tyres. That said, it seems to do quite well. All of that exposed rock looks like a blast to wheel on.
The Patrol made that look a lot easier than the Jeep, it had better suspension travel and more clearance. The traction control on the jeep was the only thing that got that through, and then it was putting massive strain on the half shafts. I think the patrol will still be running well in another 15 years whereas the Jeep I think will have died.
Exactly what I was thinking. I would buy a Patrol over a Jeep hands down.
Sad there are no Patrols in Canada and even the new pathfinders are now just a common crossovers.
Oops. Noted the locker clicking in the Jeep later in the video. Didn't hear the Nissan clicking; did it have a locker, too? Good driving you guys. Did you swap vehicles at all? What opinions did you end up with re the relative off-road capability of each vehicle?
Thanks for your comments buddy. The Jeep is a Laredo with Quadra-trac 2, so no locker. The Nissan has a factory rear locker but the solenoid wasn't working so was driven with open diffs. Both vehicles are capable offroad. The Jeep has independent suspension all around, so not much wheel articulation that is needed offroad. The Nissan has solid axles front and rear so is better offroad in that regard, but not as good as the Jeep on road. The Jeep is still very capable offroad and could go anywhere where the Nissan went, thanks to the new tech aids of traction control.
Yeah, that was not the locker clicking, I think that was the front diff starting to give up its life as a diff. Surely, the Patrol looks like it could do that all day (even in LWB), but i'm very impressed with that QuadraTrac2 shit going on under the Jeep (even if only for one afternoon). Although all that wheel locking and slipping does get in the way a bit. Great job!
That was actually the transfer case on its way, which finally gave up in this video: kzhead.info/sun/Z8iSppWZaHaofmw/bejne.html but was replaced under warranty.
wow what a great video I really enjoyed watching it
Nice video. I have never seen a grand cherokee driven offroad like this. Climbs like a mountain goat. Is this the overland version?
No
It's a Laredo.
Aussie Four Wheelers 4x4?
Does the Jeep use a traction control management system in order to simulate locked diffs? It seemed to spin its wheels more than the Nissan in order to get through the same obstacles.
Yes, it uses traction control.
Patrol TB 4.800 L6 the best! Or was a 4.5?
Gotta give it to Jeep. This is the Laredo Model and has no Off-road package and still manage to walk those wet rocks with no drama whatsoever. I am so getting the Overland with the 8-speed and off-road 2 package :D
Omg someone need to pave this road. Are yall going to some remote village or some
Nah, just going to the local store to get some groceries 😄
Cool video. Both vehicles look good. My 2011 GC has seen more sand than rock, but has always performed well. I need the underbody protection next though
Is the GC without quadra drive 2? It seems it is a model with coil springs without air suspension? 4wd low and lock option?
No air suspension or Quadra drive (no locking rear) It does have low range
Does the wk2 have the quadra lift suspension?
Did you mean 21:21? If it is, it was the transfer case on its way.
I very much enjoyed this trip as if I was with you If allowed where this place and thank you
Impressive from both vehicles.
Musa , what is the clicking sound at 21:19.... doesn't sound good.. mine does it and I hate it..
Jose, I thought it was the transfer case chain skipping, but it could be the ABS too, just that it's too loud for ABS IMO.
thanks Ill get Tynans to check it out when it goes in for service.
