Truck/SUV of the Month

[Mango]

My 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 arrives Tuesday.

Navigation, rear DVD with wireless headphones, backup camera, backup sensors, AWD, 420hp, 420ft. lbs. torque.... 0 to 60 in 4.5seconds wet or dry.....hehehhehehe looksl ike this

[Muzikman]

Mnago, you are so pimp!

[Mango]

So I win, right? hehhehe

Damn, I didn't even know they made a SRT Grand Cherokee, thats friggin awesome. Not sure why you need the DVD system (I use it for my kids) but the rest is awe-inspiring. Sub 5 for any vehicle is phenomenal.

Well, who "needs" 420hp in an SUV? hehehe

I checked off every box on the option sheet except the engine block heater.

Just looked it up. I think it's lateral accelerations (0.9g+) is even MORE impressive than the acceleration. There's a lot of straight line performers that can't handle the curves, but this one obviously can. If I were at a different place in my life, I'd be all over one of these. Sadly, I'm at the "Just bought a Toyota Sienna for the kids" point.

Haha, I fully understand. I'd trade that Sienna in for one of these, the kids will have a lot more fun going to/from the grocery store!!

"Hold on little Billy! Lets go get YOGURT!!" zoooooooooom

Now try putting 3 of them back there, and taking them on an 8 hour trip. Ugh.

I used my Titan for entertainment, and I'm looking at a supercharger for it. But it'll never match that jeep.

[DeTrevni]

3 more days guys! Let's get those final entries in! I don't think I can extend this anymore.

[wanna-b-ballin']

back at home i have a brand new ford escape hybrid with an upgraded sound system and navigation system. "ooh boy! a hybrid!" your probably thinking; it actually has some pretty good power, and still gets good gas milage.

Alright I finally got some pics of my pickup all put back together!


Front driver's side




Close-up of emblems. Note the aw3som3 green powerstroke badge.




Here you can see the Delta tool box and Hi-Lift mount that I built into the headache rack. Also notice the extra ford emblem on the headache rack inbetween the off road lights.




Passenger side front shot...




Interior shot showing bedlinered floorboards, A-pillar gauges, and those sweet switch guards.




Another driver's side rear shot just for the heck of it.




Yay it's done! I've been driving it for the past few days now and it roxors.

You bedlined your floors and put no carpet in it? How loud is that in the cab. I was planning on doing the Blazer floor in bedliner but, I was thinkin I'd need to get something to dampen the loudness of the diesel reverbing in the interior.....plus the road noise...

It's loud enough that you have to turn the volume of the radio up a few notches in order to hear any music, but I don't mind because diesels sound so sexy! Plus it makes it a lot easier to clean/wipe out with no carpet!
