I think I found a new DD!

[JohnQ]

I'm going to look at her tomorrow and see what they will give me for a trade in on my Rubi.

 

And she's a 4x4! :D

 

[JeepcoMJ]

that's not a jeep, it's a winnebago with wings...

 

oh wait, no, it's a lowrider POSING as a jeep.

 

sorry man, it looks good, but 4x4 on that simply means it can handle the road in the winter...not offroad.

 

 

stupid daimler chrysler ruining jeep.

Not worried about winter driving down here in TX and I have the MJ for all my off road fun.

 

Now having a 420hp grocery getter to pound the roads with sounds like a lot of fun to me! :D

If it's IFS, it's not a real Jeep!

 

I have heard a few horror stories with those damn WK's. Everything from fires, to blown motors, to bad vibrations, and a few others. You'll never catch me riding in one.

[GreenF350]

Drive it, you'll love it. Ive driven a few at auction, definatly left me wanting one. You will notice the tranny seems a little lazy when you get on it though ( I think they set them up that way so they survive behind the 6.1). Theyre not intended to be like other jeeps, more like a sports car, and thats a whooooole different kind of fun

If I wanted a sports car, I'd buy a Mustang with a Cammer "Five Oh" swap. If I want an SUV, I want a damn solid axle and selectable 4WD options, including 2WD Mode.

[ORCA]

Looks like a dodge Nitro...

 

 

Those are badasss 8)

[Oizarod115]

8) 8) 8)

 

srt8 hemi 8) 8) 8)

 

i'd own one if i could. 420HP sounds good to me. i'd just be looking for places to lose weight :bowdown:

 

so what its a sports car that happened to get jeep badging and grill... its better than most of the other jeeps theyve come out with lately... compass?! whats next a minivan?

[pingpong]

I say buy it, and be the first to do a solid axle 4x conversion on it. Swap the axles over to 60's front and rear (35 spline everywhere), and the remove sheetmetal until it can clear 39.5 Iroks

[CEThomas]

The tires and rims need to go :D But that is one nice ride and who needs 2wd :cheers:

I agree here, and simplify that wiring under the hood.

 

But those tires and axles arent big enough. You need to go to some rocks mounted on some 46's, and word has it, that someone in the club has a set of 46's for sale, pretty cheap. Just ask!

i got to drive one of those last year at Camp Jeep in Elkhart Lake, WI on the race track. you go to go by yourself for one lap so you could do anything you wanted. i got it up to 130mph on the straights. they are wicked fast

[Kenosha Warrior]

they crashtest well too. Someone up here plowed a pine tree at 100kph and they walked away. clipped it with the drivers side front corner and spun it backwards into another pine tree.

[jared]

i like but i hear they have some vibration issues due to thetorque converter locking up.

 

i can't remember what it is exactly but chrylser isn't doing anything to fix it either

[Rob S]

Well I like it, it would make a sweet DD. All the negitive comment are usually from people who havent driven one and don't have a clue. I own a WK with a 5.7 Hemi, its a sweet ride and is fairly capable offroad. I've owned every type of Grand Cherokee built, several ZJ's, WJ's and now a WK. The WK takes the cake. Its not for everybody, but if you want an upscale Jeep this is it.
