It has the following factory Options:
- Harmon Kardon High Performance Audio (honestly best sound system I have every personally heard in a vehicle- and I work in the automotive business)
- Trailer Tow Group (which includes a spare tire, which while not pictured will come with the vehicle and has never been used- it was removed for the rear air suspension)
- Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof (MUST HAVE FEATURE)
- Black Chrome "Spider Monkey" wheels

The following are thing I did to the vehicle, their approximate cost and what they do:
- Window tint all around including entire front windshield (may not be legal in your area, I have had this on my last 8 vehicles and never had an issue, actually helps see at night due to less glare from oncoming vehicles) -$350
- Weather Tech All Weather Digital Fit mats for front, rear and cargo area (actually bought these before the Jeep and installed them as soon as I got home) great fit and great to keep it protected - $375
- GTHAUS Racing Series Midpipe and Catback exhaust. Hands down, without a question the best exhaust system for these vehicles. From quality, fit, reviews, wait time and sound. This exhaust is actually 2 exhausts in 1 and can go from quite to loud at the touch of a wireless remote! I actually have the remote and have it programmed to the factory garage door opener to be able to make it louder or quieter. I get compliments everywhere on the sound and it really changes the whole dynamics of the vehicle.... As it should at its very costly price -$3,600 (yes, I know.. my thoughts exactly and I waited 3 months for it)
- AFE Intake for better sound, throttle response and fuel mileage - $400
- Road Magnet mid level lowering springs (currently only on the front) to lower the vehicle and give it a better look and handling. Lowers the front 1" (factory adjustable suspension is not effected) -$400
- BWOODY Sway Bar endlinks. These are to help with the geometry change from lowering the SRT. Keeps everything aligned properly -$220
- BWOODY Longer Control Arms for the rear. These make it possible for proper alignment after lowering the rear and keep the rear wheels within camber spec (jeep had full front and rear alignment done at Jeep dealership after suspension upgrades -$270
- Air Ride Technologies custom rear air suspension. Rear height can be adjusted up or down via flip of switches in the rear cargo area. I went this setup for increased towing (I have a 24' enclosed car trailer I needed to tow) and this allows you to set the desired ride height as well as increase the ride height while towing and allows the SRT to increase its towing capacity from 6,200lbs to 10,000lbs - $1,200
- SRT Reflective rear hitch decal -$50
- Redline Edition factory grill rings (these are the black grill rings made by MOPAR, they are not my factory ones painted or powder coated) -$250
- DRL Override. This plug and play harness allows the LED outlined headlights to stay illuminated while driving and gives the Jeep a great look -$100
- Removed "Jeep" from front hood and "Grand Cherokee" on the sides for a cleaner look
- Trailer Brake Controller which is hooked to the factory trailer brake controller harness using no cutting or splicing -$125

Watch this 840-hp Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 walk away from GT-Rs and M3s

Thu, Dec 11 2014

This last-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 does things that SUVs just shouldn't be able to do, like win drag races against tuned Nissan GT-R and BMW M3 coupes. Granted, the owner isn't coming into this fight with a stock Jeep – far from it. In addition to twin turbos whistling away, he says the engine is a 449-cubic-inch V8, which is nearly 7.4 liters of displacement. As it runs here, the driver claims that the turbos are pumping out around 14 psi of boost to give an estimated 840 horsepower. What's more, he further maintains the powertrain could reach around 1,200 hp with things fully cranked up. Even somewhat dialed back, this Jeep is ready to take on a breadth of formidable challengers, including a couple of Chevrolet Corvette models and a Lamborghini Aventador. Check out the video to see how this menacing Grand Cherokee fares in a day at the races.

China orders Jeep to investigate Wrangler fire risk

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

It's been some time since we've heard anything about fires related to the Jeep Wrangler (foreign or domestic), but it sounds like the go-anywhere SUV could be in hot water once again in China. Bloomberg is reporting that the Chinese government is ordering Jeep to investigate the matter and, in the meantime, also recommending Wrangler owners to not drive their vehicles in "extreme conditions" due to a "relatively high risk" of catching on fire.
There is no indication as to how many vehicles or which model years are affected, but the previous fire problems in both the US and China - which led to investigations but no recalls - were traced back to automatic transmission fluid leaks. The article, however, does not say what the potential problem is this time around as Jeep has not released a comment on the matter. The official notice, in Chinese, can be found here.

2013 AEV Brute Double Cab

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

These are the guys who bring an M777 howitzer to a knife fight. In terms of overall rugged utility, the all-new 2013 Brute Double Cab from American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) is about as overkill as they come, and we can't seem to get enough of the beasts that this company produces. Unlike most aftermarket firms, always striving to lower cost and increase volume (but at the expense of quality), Michigan-based AEV takes pride in its OEM-quality design, engineering, manufacturing and testing. Everything is as good, or better, than the stuff from the factory, and they have been doing it this way for more than 15 years.
Launched at the recent 2012 SEMA show was the 2013 AEV Brute Double Cab. Its debut marked the company's expansion to a four-door Brute on the newer JK platform (drawing inspiration from the Land Rover Defender 130). I recently spent a few hours with the new truck in sunny Southern California, though unfortunately, due to time constraints, I was limited to pavement-only driving impressions.
