Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 Challenge - HEMI vs CRD - Part 1

Part 1 - WH Jeep Grand Cherokee HEMI vs CRD, 5.7L V8 petrol versus 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel OM642. This video was filmed at Menai New South Wales Australia and is published in two parts.

This trail is rated as medium difficulty.

Here's a little bit about the vehicles, they're both equipped with factory QD2 system, which incorporates the centre diff lock, as well as the front and rear, made by Eaton specifically for Jeep Grand Cherokee WH models (or WK in the US). The HEMI sports a 545RFE transmission and 3.73 diff gears. The CRD is equipped with NAG1 transmission and 3.55 diff gears. Both running a 4" Superlift lift kit, somewhat modified.

Both are running 33 inch tyres. The CRD is running 33x12.5R17 Atturo Trail Blade on +10 offset rims and the HEMI is running 285/70R17 Buckshot XMT Mudder with 1.5" spacers. So both end up with similar total offset.
