I don't think the grand is a serious offroader, however I may be disappointed due to the crap factory Kumho tyres. I've got some BFG AT's on order so this might change my opinion.
Still, if you really want to offroad it - the manual tells you to remove the front air dam - which really isn't practical. Maybe a bullbar would be nice??
I'd definately tick the Quadralift box next time.
In the standard form, it's great for dirt tracks, towing and road warrior work. I love the car, it's just not a serious offroader as is.
Nevertheless - I love the car

1. although a Jeep the grand was never meant to be a SERIOUS offroader, more to compete with luxury european SUVs
2. the tires will help, as long as you can keep them on the ground (what size you putting on by the way?)
3. ARB is rumoured to be coming out with a bull bar, most likely mid this year (FINALLY!)
4. Quadralift isn't all it's cracked up to be - sure it has more ground clearance than the steels but has very limited wheel travel and can't be lifted. don't get quadralift if your into serious offroading, just wait a bit longer until some more comprehensive lift kits come out
