Check out my 500 HP 383 Formula here


As of Sunday, 8/17/08, I bought my new Jeep with only 22 miles on it for about $36K.  It's fully loaded except for the backseat DVD system and the 18" chrome rims (which I didn't like).  I had the dealership throw in a pair of side rails free of charge ($700 value installed).

Some features include:
- 5.7L HEMI V8, 330 HP, 375 torque
- HIDs with SmartBeam (auto highbeams auto-adjusting up/down lowbeams)
- Hill start/descent control
- Rear back-up camera
- Rain-sensing automatic wipers
- Remote starter (long range)
- Heated front and back seats
- 6.5" touch-screen navigation, Sirius satellite radio (crap) w/ real-time traffic (good), and 30 GB hard drive, 16 GB available for MP3s/WMAs/WAVs
- Boston Acoustics 6-speaker system (crap, so I've upgraded to Mopar-tuned Kicker components)
- UConnect hands-free Bluetooth communication

03/13/09 -- Tinted front windows to 32%

06/06/09 -- Installed the Kicker six-speaker & amp upgrade.  Sounds so much better than the OEM Boston Acoustics paper speakers :)
- Kicker 368-watt, 8-channel surround-sound amp, 32-bit
- Kicker front 6"x9" midbass (250 Hz lowpass) and 3.5" tweeters (300 Hz highpass)
- Kicker rear 6.5" 2-way speakers (25 Hz to 21 kHz, tweeter >= 4.5 kHz)

- Added a "5.7 L" badge directly above the factory installed "HEMI" badge

Nice & Clean:  (09/21/08)

Yea, thats much better. I also got a lot off with rebates. Well you do have to sacrifice a little comfort when you go with big wheels. I would honestly say that it probably brought it from a 10 to a 8. Its really not that bad. I am more worried about banging my rim than anything. I am living in Belgium and the roads really suck here though. I have interior pics on the way.

Wow, I really hope you did not pay 43.5K for your ride. I have an 09, it is a basic Laredo but I have everything you have minus the woodgrain and chrome trim on the outside and I paid around 26K (I am speaking from the overseas price for Military personnel) so that is a big difference......which you can get for about 5-600 bucks. Other than that nice Jeep, where are the rims and speakers???

I like the new whip. I just got my new 08 silver overland last weekend. Just like your rig but with DVD. I was trying to find one with the chrome wheels but for some reason no one had them.
