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.

The Jeep Yuntu is a plug-in hybrid SUV just for China

Thu, Apr 20 2017

The Shanghai Auto Show has been host to a heaping helping of hybrids this year, and we have yet one more to share with you. Jeep created this Yuntu SUV Concept, and it features a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Interestingly, Jeep has very little to say about it, and didn't even provide hypothetical performance figure, apparently because it's just a concept. About the only thing Jeep did tell us was that the Yuntu was designed with a focus on Chinese consumers' tastes, also citing that the SUV segment is the fastest growing in the country. While the design may have been targeted at Chinese buyers, we think the Yuntu would find fans in the US, too. It mixes cues from both the Compass and the Renegade. The roof treatment, with a thick, upright, body-colored D-pillar and black roof come right from the Renegade, as does the generally boxy aesthetic. From the Compass comes the slim seven-slot grille and horizontal headlights. The inside has no parallels to the current Jeep line. It's a light, airy place with plenty of pale woods. The dashboard is effectively all screens, and the few buttons and switches present have a unique copper finish. It's far more futuristic and modern than any Jeep on sale right now. As for what this Yuntu means for the Jeep brand, there are a few possibilities. It could simply be a styling exercise that indicates where Jeep is headed in the future. These future design cues could be applied either to China-specific versions of current vehicles, or they could also appear on vehicles in other markets such as the US. It's also entirely possible that this concept is a preview of a new SUV designed just for the Chinese market. Jeep could do this fairly easily and affordably by putting a toned-down version of the Yuntu's design on the Cherokee platform, which is already built by FCA's Chinese partner, GAC. This wouldn't be the first time a car company created an SUV just for the Chinese market, either. Mazda did it with the CX-4, so Jeep certainly could, too. Related Video:

GMC boss wants a Jeep Wrangler rival

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

Challengers come and challengers go, but the Jeep Wrangler continues to push forward even after vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the entire Hummer brand have been shut down. Now GMC reportedly wants to take a stab at the quintessential Jeep, as well.
The news comes directly from Buick-GMC vice president Duncan Aldred, speaking with our compatriots over at Edmunds. Although Aldred said there are no plans currently on the table to expand GMC's lineup beyond the current range, "there is plenty of room everywhere in the hierarchy."
That could include a rival to the Wrangler, as well as a flagship luxury SUV positioned above the current Yukon Denali (pictured above). Just when (or for that matter, if) such models might come into fruition remains a big question mark, but it's certainly interesting to see what GM's dedicated truck brand has on the drawing board.

FCA to appeal reduced judgment in Georgia Jeep case

Thu, Aug 13 2015

FCA is appealing the $40 million verdict against it in a case in Georgia where a four-year-old boy died in a fire in a Jeep Grand Cherokee, according to The Detroit News. The jury originally awarded the child's family $150 million, but the judge decided to significantly to reduce the amount based on other precedents. The automaker has been considering further legal options since the decision was announced in July. The boy's death happened in 2012 when he was riding in a Grand Cherokee. The vehicle was rear-ended, and the fuel tank burst, causing a fire. This is the same issue that led to a recall of millions of the SUVs and a recent agreement with the US government from FCA to pay to get them fixed. In the original ruling, the jury said that the automaker was 99 percent responsible for the fatality and didn't adequately warn owners. It asked the company to pay $120 million for wrongful death and $30 million for his pain and suffering. FCA countered that the Jeeps met the safety standards of the time they were made. FCA requested that the jury's award be reduced in May calling the amount "grossly excessive." If the family didn't agree to a lower amount, the company also threatened to seek a new trial. Among the arguments was that $30 million was too much for the child's one minute of suffering. The parents did accept the judge's adjusted figure, though.
