This is one for Larry... The only one that wheels a WK Grand... He goes just about everywhere that is done for monthly club runs with 2.5" of lift and 32s and rock rails.
It should have quadradrive 2 4wd system, similar to the WJ system. It is IFS in the front rather than a solid axle like the WJ. They drive nice and the Hemi has plenty of power. I wasn't a big fan of the seats though, they are not as comfy as the should be, kinda like the JK seats...

It works well. I have the RC 2" budget boost and 32" KO2s. Like James said, I go where the Others go on monthly runs and lately, I've been the lead Jeep on Valley runs. They come with skids for gas tank, transfer and oil pan. The Hemi with QD-II is a great setup.

Figured I'd add a bit more, the stock Hemi has 330 hp & 375 lb/ft, quite adequate for the trail or highway. Mine has a few upgrades and with the Superchip FlashPaq, I can get around 24 mpg on the highway. I started wheeling mine at about 100,000km and now have 235,000km, with no issues. The QD-II is an excellent system, electronic clutches split the torque and can can send it (up to 100%) to any wheel or wheels that have traction. IFS isn't really a drawback when you have the QD-II, and I've made a few changes to my rear setup, so I have pretty decent flex, for a WK. If you have any questions about the WK, feel free to ask.

I must have bought a lemon! I bought an 05 with 50 k on it and it damn near broke me in repairs. At the 150 k mark it was going through $600-800 a month in maintenance and repairs and failing components, mainly electronics. Got rid of it before 200K , someone else can pump money into it!
