2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Build

[OTH Overland]

Well, believe it or not I drove the WJ home last week. The tune still needs a little work, and in 105+ ambient temps it would run 210-220 in traffic which is totally safe (and what almost all modern Hemis run stock anyway) but I got a little pinging once it was 210+. A few other odds and ends, but I might be using this thing this fall...

Glad to see you have finally had some good luck it really an awesome build, We really miss our WJ wish we did not sell it, but too many vehicles and something had to go lol.

Nice! It's been a long project for you. Feel good to be out in the "wild" with it?
My WJ is in the garage with a battery tender hooked up. Needed to clean up the garage and last weekend finally did the front caliper and rotor R&R to clear the boxes off the workbench, since they have been in my way for over 5 months now. lol.
Sold the Tahoe and now have a 2021 RAM 1500 with the crazy E-Torque Hemi (don't judge me, the price was right). I can get it to ping on 89 octane on 90+ degree days, forget 87 octane in the summer!. FYI it ran 228 degrees water temp up on Sanora pass and Leavitt Lake trail, so your temps are in line with factory. But I bet you are far more demanding than the factory engineers and will get it sorted.
Cheers
