2004 JGC to Silver Lake Dunes
I recently traded in my 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo on a 2004 Jeep
Grand Cherokee Limited. I've taken my old Jeep up on Silver Lake Sand Dunes in Michigan, and had everything figured out. Now I've got to learn about my new Jeep. It is a High Output 4.7L V8, where my old one was a V6. I need to learn about how to use the Quadra-Drive while climbing hills on the dunes. I'm assuming I would go from 4-All Time into 4-Lo and into gear 1. How about Overdrive? Also, what is the procedure from going from 4-AllTime to 4-Lo? It doesn't want to slip right in. Also, the tires I have are P235/65R17. Any concerns there? Air down to around 13? Steve Hummel Indianapolis |

I recieved some real good advice about 6 years ago when I got my first
JGC. Anyone care to give me some insight on my new Jeep? |

Re: 2004 JGC to Silver Lake Dunes
I just picked up an '02 WJ 5-6 weeks ago and just love it. It is much more
comfortable than my old XJ. There is a WJ (JGC) specific web site at : http://www.wjjeeps.com/jmenu.htm which is loaded with information for our model. What do you plan to do with it? Are you over in NKY? <hummels@insightbb.com> wrote in message news:1120672866.026248.148750@g49g2000cwa.googlegr oups.com... >I recieved some real good advice about 6 years ago when I got my first > JGC.

Re: 2004 JGC to Silver Lake Dunes
That's Test Hill, on the left as you come out of the entrance road. Gets to
be about a 45-50 degree angle at the top. Most novices (I suspect those are the local tour rentals) don't make it the first time. You have to leave it in 2nd gear/high to get enough momentum to clear the top. "L.W. ("ßill") ------ III" <----------@cox.net> wrote in message news:42CC6D28.3C241998@cox.net... > What year?

Re: 2004 JGC to Silver Lake Dunes
Yup novices, none of the Jeepers in my area that play in the dunes,
loose their momentum, if they see they're not going to make, they swing first one way then spin it around to the other to avoid having to back down.

Re: 2004 JGC to Silver Lake Dunes
Yep, I got a bit stuck my first time in my 97 Grand Cherokee. I
learned that if you lose momentum, don't even try to crest the top. And if you do make it, go ALL the way over!! But, I'm trying to find advice on my new 2005 Quadra-Drive Grand Cherokee. The questions in my original message. |
