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.

2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab Edition

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

There will forever be a soft spot in my heart for the Jeep Wrangler. The last one I owned was red, and, as a 1990 model, had the square headlights derided by Jeep enthusiasts who grew up on the Civilian Jeeps that descended from their General Purpose military ancestors. As a teenager, I couldn't have cared less what shape its headlights happened to be - to me, a Jeep Wrangler represented freedom; a carefree do-it-all machine equally at home with the top stowed away in the summer or with the heater on full blast in the snowy clutches of Old Man Winter. In Dr. Seuss parlance, my square-headlighted Sneetch was just as worthy as any round-headlighted Sneetch.
All that said, I'll be the first person to advise against buying a Jeep Wrangler of any sort for owners who don't plan to use it as its makers intend. There's no good reason to punish yourself with a stiff and springy ride, a loud and somewhat drafty (though generally water-resistant) interior or the poor fuel economy expected of a block-shaped vehicle if you don't enjoy its other, more exciting benefits.
Of course, Jeep has done its darndest over the years to make the Wrangler as civilized as possible while keeping it as capable as federal law will allow. The 2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab edition is one of Jeep's latest attempts to attract attention from the upper reaches of the active lifestyle set, and I spent a week with one to see what makes the Moab special.

Toledo gets proactive in fight to keep Jeep Wrangler

Wed, 08 Oct 2014

Let's make this very plain - the city of Toledo, OH loves its Jeeps. It loves them so fervently that the very rumor of the Jeep Wrangler moving out of its traditional home prompted the city's mayor, D. Michael Collins, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich to hold a weekend conference call with Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne.
"The purpose of this call was for the mayor and governor to gain clarity on Mr. Marchionne's comments last week regarding the possibility of the next generation of Jeep Wrangler being built at a location other than the Toledo North Assembly Plant," a spokesman for the mayor's office told The Toledo Blade.
While no further commitments were made by any party, Collins and Kasich's statement was quite unequivocal about keeping Toledo's unwillingness to let the Wrangler go, saying "the city and its partners will again rise to the occasion to ensure that the new Wrangler is made in Toledo." According to the newspaper, the next step is for face-to-face meetings between officials from Ohio and FCA.

Europe gets Jeep Wrangler Polar limited edition

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

Jeep will be bringing an all-new, limited-edition model to the European market called the Wrangler Polar. Based on the Wrangler Sahara and set to make its debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Wrangler Polar sports new Hyrdro Blue paint, gloss black 18-inch wheels, a body-color hardtop, and the regular mix of Mopar styling accessories. Billet Silver Metallic and Bright White are available for those that don't dig the glossy blue, while a two-door variant will be available in addition to the four-door pictured above.
The Polar's interior features similar tweaks; Pearl White contrast stitching can be found on both the seats and steering wheel, while ceramic White bezels and other accents give a nice contrasting look to the cabin.
Underhood sits an engine that should make American Wrangler enthusiasts weep - a 2.8-liter, four-cylinder turbodiesel. With 200 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque channeled through a five-speed automatic transmission, the Wrangler Polar should handle itself just fine on normal roads. British buyers will also be able to select the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. For rougher stuff, Dana axles can be found front and rear (Dana 30 up front and Dana 44 in back), while the Command-Trac four-wheel-drive system and its two-speed transfer case should be enough for when the roads disappear.
