Remember the first rumors about Jeep shoehorning the Hellcat engine into the Grand Cherokee? Well, the GC Trackhawk is now among us, but there's one area where it can't match its Dodge siblings.
No, we're not referring to the fact that the Hellcat twins are masters of the burnout. This, of course, is serious business and there are at lest two reasons for that.
You see, bringing one's rear tires up to temperature before a drag race is crucial for the 60-foot part of the adventure. Then there's the stunt part - who doesn't like a good smoke show?
However, given the AWD nature of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trachhawk, this isn't exactly a burnout machine. Well, we're here to show you that it doesn't take too much for the super-SVU to turn into a tire slayer.
So, what is this all about, a conversion kit? Well, the whole RWD conversion actually just means pulling a fuse, as you'll get to see in the piece of footage at the bottom of the page.
And once an aficionado plays with the fuse box of a Trackhawk, the front wheels no longer receive power. And, from this point on, all the drive has to do is to get the amount of throttle and gas right.
The clip shows the 707-pony Jeep torturing its rear tires, with plenty of smoke resulting from the process.
Now, before you set out to engage in such adventures, keep in mind that it's best to leave such practices for YouTubers, at least if you don't want to risk the mechanical components of your vehicle.
P.S.: If you happen to be in a hurry and with to skip straight to the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk shenanigan mentioned above, you should know this can be found at the 2:21 point of the clip.
