I am the original owner of this Jeep SRT8 Grand Cherokee. I typically buy new model vehicles before they are out and sell after two years and look again for the latest and greatest. The same is true with this SRT8. I ordered the car from the dealer days after it was released. It was produced with my name on the production order I had professionals tint the windows, painted most of the chrome black, custom paint the hood and the inserts, and install the Borla exhaust and hardwired radar detector. I could not stand all of the chrome from the factory and wanted the truck to look "a touch" unique. Specifically, the chrome faccia on the back and on the edges of the grill were an eye sore so they were painted black. They since removed this on the newest SRT8 models, so the SRT team looks as if they agree. Additionally, the hood having a unique shape was custom painted by an artist to show its form, but in a subtle way. The custom hood can hardly be seen from 15 feet away, but, when close up, or in the right light (day or night), its beauty.

As for the performance, if you are interested in this truck, you already know that its approx 470 hp, 6.4L V8 naturally aspirated. For more performance details, have a look at the jeep website. Its still the same engine. Brembo Brakes. The Borla exhaust was installed to let the natural notes come out. The Borla installed was type S, the less aggressive version. Quiet when you want it and loud when you want it. No drone. The transmission is key to this car in my opinion. The new SRT8 has 8 gears. This has 5. In my opinion, the exhaust sound better using 5 gears, and honestly the shifts are more like a manual trans.

I have 2 extra rims (6 in total) in so-so condition. I am willing to get them repainted at my cost with a mutually beneficial sale. One of those tires could be used as a full size spare, although I opted not to keep the extra weight in the truck. All 4 tires are brand new worth $2000. New brake pads and rotors (genuine Brembo) were installed 2 months ago. FYI 34,533 miles as of today. This is my daily ride.

Oil has been changed every 3,000 with Mobil1 full synthetic 0W40. Twice I put Castrol full synthetic because Mobil 1 0W40 wasn't available. I order the oil from people I trust and only will allow oils change shop to use their oil if they crack open sealed containers in front of me. Too many shops don't always use what they charge you for. I am a 37 year old professional and have not beat on the truck. No traffic accidents, no engine mods, no drag racing.... I just truly love high performance.

I am upgrading to a new vehicle. So... here we are. Email or message me through ebay... I will reply.

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.

Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.

Jeep Grand Cherokee redesign delayed

Sat, Jun 27 2015

The launch of the next-gen Jeep Grand Cherokee is being now being pushed back until late 2018 or even into 2019, Jeep CEO Mike Manley indicated Friday, according to Automotive News citing a Reuters report. Under the original five-year plan, the SUV was supposed to be replaced in the third quarter of 2017. That would have made for a big year for Jeep with a refreshed Renegade and new Wrangler also slated for 2017. A delayed Grand Cherokee could send ripples through Jeep's product plans. The three-row Grand Wagoneer is meant to give the brand a vehicle to take on the Land Rover Range Rover, but it's supposed to use the same platform as the Grand Cherokee. This change is rumored to push that important model's launch further back. There's less uncertainty when it comes to the next-gen Wrangler. Manley said that the model was "broadly on track," according to Automotive News. The five-year plan aimed for a launch in the second quarter of 2017. Controversy, however, has swirled over possible plans to move the Wrangler from its longtime Toledo, OH, factory. One problem Jeep doesn't have to worry about right now is sales. According to Automotive News, Manley said volume was up 20 percent globally and could reach 1.2 million by the end of the year. He also indicated the brand was "on pace" to reach its 1.9-million-vehicle goal for 2018. The Grand Cherokee delay comes in the wake of rumors that FCA US is shuffling around its previous five-year vehicle launch plan to postpone several models. Related Video:
