Can A Jeep Compass Really Off-Road? (Overland Artist ep 1)
zhlédnutí 69KPřed 2 lety
Let me take you on a very short overland adventure in my Jeep Compass Trailhawk and then let's paint a landscape in north Texas. It sounds random but let's do it anyway.
I Love my jeep compass trailhawk more watching this. Someday I could bring my jp trailhawk in real off roading.
Heck yeah! Trailhawks are like little billy goats. Haha
Did you modify it or this is how it comes from the factory?
I put 3 1/2 lift with larger tires on.
That ATP 4.0 Lift kit, is it good? What size tires are you running with that lift? I just bought a New Jeep Compass Latitude 4X4 with the Altitude package 18" rims on Saturday 7/20/24 it has a 2.0L I4 TURBO engine. I was looking online for lift Kits and skid plates. I saw a 2" Rough country spacer lift kit and this 4.0 lift kit with coils and spacers for Jeep Renegade and Compass. $999 for the 4" ATP lift kit and $299 for the 2" Rough Country lift kit. I want to go off-roading here in HAWAII in the Lava rocks along the coast line where people go to catch lots of big fish. Some of the roads are worst than the trails that you guys are traveling lots of big holes and rocks. That's why I want to slowly buy skid plates, bigger all terrain tires, and a lift kit for my New Jeep Compass Latitude 4X4. Can you give me any recommendations please? It's not easy to find off-road parts especially since my Jeep Compass is Brand new. I originally was planning on buying a Jeep Wrangler but ended up getting the Jeep Compass because it was way cheaper. The Compass was $32,000 and I traded in my 2018 Subaru Impreza Sport Wagon that had 40,000 miles because it was too low to go off-roading. The dealership took it for $11,000 and I checked their website and they're selling it for $20,000 double of what they took it for trade in for the Jeep 😅 damn I could've sold it for a good amount of money then paid off my loan and used the rest for a down payment. Oh well, that's what happens when I don't think and just buy the first vehicle I test drive at the dealership 😅 now I gotta look for off-road Kits for my new Jeep Compass so I don't ruin it when I go off-roading on the rocky roads on the coast line here in Hawaii.
What all was replaced for the lift, and how high did you go?
just mounting brackets, springs and tie rods. It came out to be about 3 1/2 inches
The best crossover imo. Not everyone wants a big heavy body on frame SUV or a rock crawler since most of the time people drive on highways and would just need 4x4 for driving on lighter trails where a 2wd faced a harder time. It has good traction control and a center diff lock. Perfect for people who do light offroading and want the nimbleness of a normal road car. Regards a compass owner from India
I could not agree more
Do you still have this vehicle and how much you fuel your suv
I do and it averages 18 mpg with the lift and tires
Dis you put new suspension (shocks, struts or anything) or just lifted it with stock suspension?
Is this uplifted.. I think original car don't have that much ground clearance.
What size rims and tires are you running with the lift? Also any spacer??
Please tell
Great job..👍
Thank you, Mike!
Where did you get the spare tire mount?
Ordered it from amazon, believe it or not. It's a Curt.
Nice😊
I am a new follower i have a Jeep compass 2007 can u give me advice on Changing Tires Just To make it Little Higher ... Which Tire SIZE IS BETTER
Nice camping Bro😊
Nice climbing Bro..Compass Made it💪💪💪
Cool videos bro..i hope to see more
Hey I've been trying to find some off road tires for my compass what size are those?
I have 245/65 r17 with 1" wheel spacers
When I was in 6th grade in 1976 our station wagon was driving home from grandma's house. All country roads and fields around. A Bright round kind of light was hovered over the road. As we passed under it, I got excited, because I was going to get to se it after we pass from under it. Well once we passed under it was not there. It disappeared. I believe in UFOs.
I bet you can remember that as it was yesterday. That is incredible.
I think we can all agree that the 68 Ford pickup is the real hero of this video.
It definitely was. That truck is a tank
What size tire did you end up going to? Did you have to use spacers? How's the cv axles holding up so far?
I have 245/65 R17 on it now with 1" wheel spacers. No CV issues so far, thank goodness
Zf9hp gearbox is very fine
yeah. one of the good parts in these jeeps for sure.
I need that rear tire carrier for my Compass!!! Any info?
I just found a generic one on Amazon from Curt
We just got a '21 Compass Trailhawk and looking forward to doing some camping like this. Girlfriend already wanting lift kit and bigger tires, haha. But yeah, that's a pretty interesting story you tell. I was stationed at Sheppard AFB, TX in the 1980s and that's literally right on the border with Oklahoma, when taking off to the north you'd be in Oklahoma shortly after takeoff. Anyways, not sure what she could have seen as Sheppard is/was mostly just a training base for pilots. But those little Tweets, as we called them, the little T-38s and T-37s are really quiet when at cruise but obviously they wouldn't be landing in a field. As far as my own experiences, most involved military-related stuff. Like being out 4-wheelin' in a remote area and coming up to a gate and nothing around but suddenly there's a paved road in the distance. Naturally I had to go look, so I drove through the open gate and got the paved part and just as I started to go around a large stand a trees to left of the road I saw the biggest radar or radio telescope of some kind that I ever saw. Like something out of that movie 'Contact', just out in the middle of nowhere. I quickly hauled ass out of there because visions of green figures with M16s were in my thoughts and I didn't want to be dragged away to a clandestine location for seeing something I wasn't supposed to. Another time, and this was in the same area but before I knew there was that dish thing. Me and a buddy were late night 4-wheeling on a Friday night and had stopped near a military range and we kept seeing something quiet going by. We were drinking, but weren't drunk, just was sitting out on the hoods of our trucks shooting the breeze and having a beer and checking out the stars and listening to nature... and suddenly he's like, "What's that light?" and at first I didn't see it, but it like probably 50 to 100 feet off the ground and would just blink every few seconds. It was an aerial vehicle of some kind, but no lighting except the one bright light that would flash every 3 seconds roughly. Could see it going over the nearby military range in the distance. And we were out there a couple hours. Whatever it was, it made about 4 passes through there periodically. The only sound was some kind of faint noise, whether from an engine or sound of the air passing over it, I don't know. Only thing we could figure is that it was either an aircraft of some kind or a missile, probably something like a cruise missile as they have the terrain-following radar on them like some planes do, that allow them to fly at a set altitude just off the ground. We started getting worried after a few passes, wondering if they could see or detect us. lol Started getting a little paranoid too about sitting on top of jacked up trucks and one of them fly over and take our head off, haha. I know they would bring aircraft out to this range for things like target practice and missile testing, but I have no clue what was flying that night. It was a new moon, so no light at all except starlight. So, you couldn't really see much of any kind of silhouette from it because it was so low, it was just blended in with the dark background of distant rolling forest and rolling plains. But yeah, after about the 4th pass that thing made we figured we better get out of there before green men of possibly extra-terrestrial variety showed up, lol. That was an anxious ride too as we were about 45 minutes from the nearest highway.
Wow. Was that second experience in the 80's as well? Because I doubt they were drones if it was.
@@NorthTexasDirt yup, all in the 1980s while I was still serving. And yeah, they had drones back then, unmanned aircraft, you name it. Some stuff I probably can't mention still and I left the military in 1990, haha. Hadn't seen much since that time, except when I was living in the Vegas area about 10-15 years ago. I always keep a 10 x 50 pair of binoculars handy so I can spot, nature watch, stargaze with, etc. and I could literally point the binocs in any direction and find something in the sky, one time a pair of F-15s flying in formation probably 20,000 feet. Another time a weather balloon. Another time two airliners that appeared to be doing some kind of testing, one a 747 and another behind it as a 737 probably, much smaller aircraft, they were flying in formation and after a while the smaller one would crisscross through the larger one's contrails and such. I don't know what that was about but managed to get photos of it playing out. lol Probably some kind of turbulence flight testing I'm guessing? But yeah, that was around 2012 time period. People of Vegas probably have no idea the amount of stuff that is in the air over them any given time. And probably worse now with the proliferation of camera drones. LVPD and local military probably have dozens of them in the air along with who knows who else, haha. Oh yeah, look this up, you may have heard about it but mentioning just in case, but last June 2023, a UFO object came down in Las Vegas, and nobody could deny something happened because a police cruiser working a crime scene just happened to be facing the right direction and the police dashcam caught the object coming down. Another person claimed to see the area it landed and a supposed "ten foot tall" creature scale a wall near where it supposedly landed, was showing marks in a dirt lot, etc. It was crazy, look that up and see what you make of it. Oh yeah, within hours they also said unmarked VIP looking vehicles with blacked out windows were in the area too. lol Hoax or not, it was filmed by LVPD.
@@NorthTexasDirt here's a link to what I'm talking about from a local Las Vegas news station and I was wrong about it being filmed by dashcam, it was actually filmed by the officer's bodycam, also includes footage from security cameras and 911 call audio, etc., watch?v=ROLYGcj5bNM
Nice! I'll check it out@@Destin65
Great videos… you should be sponsored by Jeep! It’s hard to find a realistic review and capability of the Compass. Thanks for showing
Thank you! How awesome would that be!
Great video!... I got a 2023 Jeep Compass High Altitude 2.0 turbocharger 4x4, and I would like to get mine lifted with better wheels so I can enjoy off-roading as should be with the jeep compass. :)
Thanks! I'm jealous of that turbo. haha. Wish I had one.
0:06 this is beautiful 0:32 so far 🤗
Thank you!
How did u get ur compass lifted so high
I put an American Trail Products 4" lift on it. Lost about 4 mpg but it still handles well. Just have to take it to a good alignment shop.
@@NorthTexasDirt thank you
yes indeed!@@Bike_lyfe
where did you get your rims? I've tried searching for black steel rims for the jeep compass trailhawk and I can't ever find results? do you just shop for renegade wheels?
I had to order from some random store on ebay
Lighting Hopkins!
hahaha
whats the sice of your tires? did you need any lift kit?
245/65 r17. Yeah. I had to get a 2" lift with 1" wheel spacers so the tires could fit.
Yes I wouldn’t do that in a normal compass, or Cherokee for that matter…. But the TH is lifted with 4WD and basically just a smaller Cherokee, and that one appears possibly extra lift? Anyhow, nice art work…
Thanks! Yeah, I have a 2" lift on it in this video.
What tires are on this compass? I have a 2018 Compass trailhawk I’m looking to get some new tires for
I run some 245/65 r17 Predator New Mutants currently. I think the ones in this video are BF Goodrich ATs of the same size. I had to put 1" wheel spacers on so they could fit.
Love your videos but miss your painting in your latest videos.
Thank you! Yeah, I need to get back to painting for sure.
Hey, do you have anything additional done to the suspension? Also, what rubber are you running?
Besides the lift I just have it adjusted as much as possible so it drives sort of straight. haha. the tires I have now are Predator XTs - 245/65 r17
Compass trailhawk should do any trail that the renegade does but extreme rock crawling is a no go. You will have damage. Compass trailhawk should do any class 3 trail and some 4 ‘s if no extreme crawling. It not a wrangler so take it slow and easy.
Very true and I will do my best. Thank you
None since those two but I’m going this summer in July to do the alpine loop. I’ve done alpine loop in my power wagon with ease and don’t see any problems doing it this year in the compass.
Hi, love your videos. I'm a Compass owner from India. I would like to know about your experience regarding highway stability after installing the Lift kit. Thanks.
Thank you! I have only noticed a slightly heavier roll in the turns but not very much due to the wheel spacers. So basically nothing actually noticeable after the lift.
What year is your SUV
2019
Thanks for the show, plus nice art.
You are welcome and thank you!
What type of tires does your suv have and how much you fuel your suv
245/65 r17 Predator New Mutants is what i have on it now and I'm averaging 19mpg
Just found your channel and i love your videos! Those were actually doe tracks, buck track will be spread apart. Hogs do as well but they are much larger. Also i have a couple incredible stories of encounters I've had in the Kiamichi mountains.
Hey! Thank you, Brian! I never realized buck hooves were spread apart. Also, I'm curious what you experienced in Oklahoma!
I bigfoot research in the Kiamichis. czcams.com/channels/hx0AyU4XcIKMO0Ls3qpuCA.html
Can you tell me where you got the mods for your compass. I have been looking and having trouble finding things
sure! American Trail Products and Valkyrie Offroad
How wide is your wheel spacers?
Sorry. Just now seeing this. They are 1" spacers
Thanks!
I love videos with every day cars!
Just hoping I don't break it. Haha
I love my 2016 Compass.
What tires/lift was on the compass trailhawk?
I have 245/65R17 Predator XTs on it now with a 4" American Trail Products lift. Which actually only gave me about 3 inches.
Thank you for the info 🙌
you are most welcome@@jakemetz1742
Is there any camp sites on this trail?
There are but you just have to be careful that it's not private or too far off the trail.
So it's my understanding (and I've often been wrong, so if I am please correct me) that the "4WD Lock" on there just forces you to stay in 1st gear and 4WD. I'm looking at a 2017 Compass Limited and it doesn't have the 4WD Lock option. But I can just manually put it in 1st gear using the manual shift option, right? Would it work the same? I'm getting out of my Tahoe for something smaller with AWD or 4WD (I hunt on my farm property, lots of muddy trails) and the Compass (so far) is the best test drive I've had. Also looking at at Limited Renegade and a 2017 ML350.
My 2019 has a separate function for 1st gear only 4WD called 4WD Low and then it also has the 4WD Lock which just keeps the all wheel drive system engaged. That is very interesting the 2017 Limited doesn't have the 4WD Lock button. I'm guessing it still operates like an AWD vehicle though. I would try to find one that actually has the 4WD Lock button if you can.
@@NorthTexasDirt Sadly, I don’t believe the lock option is available on any of the Compasses except the Trailhawk. Those are hard to come by around here.
well that stinks. At least it's still all wheel drive, right?@@m1cajah
Still waiting on the video from crossbar ranch in Oklahoma lol
I'm about halfway done! haha. Hopefully I can get it up this Thursday. How are you guys?
@@NorthTexasDirtwe are doing good, doing another trip to cross bar on the 17th you should come back out and we can hit the trails together and do some overlanding
That sounds enticing. Let me see what the old work calendar has and I'll see if I can make it!@@patrickclay5635
