Nice! I wonder why more don't use this platform...

They are big with lots of room and have a v8! But they were also EXPENSIVE and now are discontinued. Probably there isn't a lot of aftermarket support for them now.

I was actually thinking about one of those a few months back because of the size and V8 but I couldn't bring myself to getting rid of the Ramcharger. Keep building and posting.

I have a 2008 Grand Cherokee 3.0L diesel overland edition and was wondering if you have found anyone that makes a uniball upper control arm?

Very cool man!! I've tossed around the idea of a Commander when I get rid of my XJ.

Well I've had some major set backs ...i picked it up from shop that put a muffler on it and it was stuck in 4w low...crept over to dealer and it has 33 codes on it and we are supposed to leave for Colorado in two weeks for 14 days...stressed and angry doesn't even scratch the surface ...ugh

Oh man... Good luck.. Hope you get it resolved!

 

[SLO Rob]

33? I hope that's just some sort of glitch!

33 codes if they welded without disconnecting the battery or putting surge protection on the battery that could have fried something

I know.....I was thinking the same damn thing thing

 

[Overland-Indiana]

If they caused it i'd be going back pissed and demanding they fix it.

 

[ElDusto]

I'm not ready to sharpen the ax yet...it's killing me waiting for dealer to get to her..ill know more Monday [emoji852]️[emoji31]

Well after a huge riggamaroo and the dealer trying to replace the transfer case ...I was reading another forum and the guy had same problems do I did what he did and replaced the transfer case motor and she is back in business...which is perfect because we are heading to southwest Colorado in the very early morning for a 11 day trip we have been planning and I really didn't want to do it with out low range...all is good in my world and I'm feeling great!
