SRT8 - now go get it done! LOL
Yeah my missus wants one as well. Black diesel limited. I said ok if it can have srt8 wheels. Some crowd on ebay has em for 1850 with tyres for 4
Talk to Red R8 he just got his SRT8 Cherokee...
Yep, Black Diesel Overland, love it. So far we seem to have a good one, touch wood.
About to get the wheels 2 packed black, catch can, then the chrome is coming off and getting painted same as the car, then off to final inspection, then 3inch exhaust upgrade with no mufflers.
Runs on the smell of oily rag and gets up when it needs to, after I do the exhaust the turbo should spool up a little quicker, there is a bit of lag.
Looked at the SRT but decided against it insurance, tyres and fuel, I could afford to buy one just not to run it !!!!
Im also thinking about buying wife a SRT, very nice bit of gear...
A mate just got one and man it goes well for a big car..
Thats a yes to a 2014 Limited Diesel. Have only done 9000klm and very happy with my choice.
Can you put up the link because I only found these....no tyres. Not original because they don't have the "SRT" indented in the rimQuote:

Just by way of an observation - my mate has one and is very happy, but broke a mirror reversing out of the garage....over $2000 parts only!
When we bought ours the tool who did the window tinting scratched the drivers window on the outside, it cost the dealer $1900 to replace it !!!!!!!!Quote:

I have just installed a Borla S type rear diff back setup. This car is amazing and yes I've had my share of HSV's and LSX's etc. the 6.4Hemi is a monster the 8 speed auto box with paddle shifters is unbelievable the handling for a SUV is again amazing Braking is phenomenal this thing would show my previous modded VE R8 a pair of tail lights around a race track. I can't fault the car in ANY way and build quality is better than I expected.

I just googled the pictures I haven't taken any of mine.
Sounds amazing and looks damn fine
These Jeep SRT8 SUVs are really growing on me. My mate just ordered a white SRT8 Jeep today. Apparently there's up to an 8 month wait at the moment.
there normally is up to a year wait as SRT only make low numbers. the 2014 is the best model to date so is selling well to boot...was just reading about a 2014 (dead stock) that just ran a 12.6 1/4 mile and regularly runs 4.2 0-100kph.....not bad for a truck...
Yeah they're bloody quick & sound farkin awesome tooQuote:

Dads looking to get one so I had a look - didn't take much notice of them before but they look like a fantastic bit of kit
Same...I was out to buy a VF GTS called into Jeep to see if they had a SRT and after going over it then driving it I was hooked....above picture of my 2014 Billet SRT was the result lol. After 1200ks in mine now it's all bedded in nicely and feels so strong. New zorst has also carboned up a bit and sounds insane. It's my best sounding V8 I've ever owned.Quote:

I seriously seriously doubt that, but they are a pretty entertaining drive. You just can't hide that 2.3t of steel though. Brakes haul it up pretty quick for the size of it but still looking at around 40m 100-0km/h, E series HSV around 35m.Quote:

I'll have to line up an SRT, the GMC's no slug (3 ton though) 70% of the cars out there can't get near it.

Should be picture, Link didn't work for me?
guess what , Jeep have another recall , Is it April already, must be time to turn the clocks back an hour, lol
http://www.thecarconnection.com/news...or-brake-flaws
They do have another small issue....every time I see a Cherokee, one of the HID headlights seems to flickering or off like its blown....very strange
HID or DRL, current Model ???
The DRL turns off when the indicator is activated
Yes current model and I think you're right...it's the DRLs...the C shaped lights so what you have said would make sense ...thanks ChoccoQuote:
