downtownjeep’s 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee

So far I have added: -Mopar Performance cold air intake -Mopar Performance ECU -Mopar Performance plug wires (woo) -Mopar Performance headers -Full 3" exhaust, Carsound converter/Magnaflow muffler -JET 180 degree T-stat -Addco swaybar (front) with Energy bushings and endlinks -Tokico Trekmaster R/T shocks -Old Man Emu steering stabilizer -255/65-16 Michelin LTX M/S2 tires (much better than stock 225s) -IPCW Clear corner lights -SolarGuard tint on side windows to closely match factory tint everywhere else -Shorty metal antennaSo far a sorority girl in my apartment complex has added: -beautiful blue-green paint scuffs on one of my doors from her crappy Cavalier!I've removed: -roof rack cross rails -annoying plastic thing that was hindering the 360's ability to breathe through the grille (basically I have ram air now). -Lots of mud from actually Jeeping my Jeep. That's considered weight savings for the 1/4 mile, isn't it?COMING SOMETIME: -Hopefully a 2x52mm Throttle body next. Lot's of other stuff too.

This is my other car and also my first car. It took a year of searching to find the big-block and four-speed combo that I wanted, but I think it paid off. It's a 1970 Plymouth 'cuda. Under the hood is a 383 Super Commando. It runs fairly well for having the standard 'cuda engine with hardly anything modified. This 'cuda also has quite a few options like: a front elasometric bumper, road lamps, hood pins, Magnum 500 wheels, rally dash with tach and 150mph speedo, and front disc brakes. It came from the dealership (not the factory) with rear window louvres. They were absent at the time of purchase and quickly added along with the correct rear spoiler. Hopefully some day it will be absolutely flawless, but don't worry I'll still drive it! Yeah the grille isn't supposed to be black but argent silver...oh well. This is a good shot of the hood pins, elasometric bumper, and road lamps. Here's a newer pic. Note the rear window louvres and correct rear spoiler. In case you didn't read what's under the 'cuda's hood. I still can't believe how many people ask what engine it has after seeing it in person! It seems obvious when there's a "hockey stick" running from the door to a number at the end. As with the louvres and spoiler, these were not on my car from the factory. This is one of the few instances that I don't care about originality. The "hockey sticks" belong on this car! And here is said 383. I love all the orange. Currently it has wrinkle-black valve covers and a matching aircleaner. It's going back to the way it is seen here. By the way, that DieHard did just that. The 'cuda's arse when we first got it. Note the incorrect, Mustang-style rear spoiler. That has since been remedied. Eventually a new chrome bumper will be replacing that painted one that wasn't even an option on a white '70. The parking brake has been fixed too...and we got a new door on the garage. Here you can kinda see the brown interior that no one likes. It stays too. How many white 'cudas have you seen with brown interior? Yeah it's not perfect, but it's mine! MINE MINE MINE! My old Jeep. This is a '97 Limited. I did a few things to it like exhaust, intake, and an ignition upgrade, but it was, at best, a tic slower than my current Jeep was when it was totally stock. I do miss that color though.

This was my Grandfather's 1970 Barracuda Gran Coupe. The Gran Coupe was the "upscale" Barracuda in case you were wondering. Like mine, this car had a 383 under the hood though not the "Super Commando" version. His car had the 2bbl version that made about 290 horsepower to my 335. I know his car was really well optioned, but I don't remember with exactly what. I do remember that it was an automatic with console, and that it had burnt-orange interior to match the exterior. I really wish he still had it, because any Gran Coupe is rare...that and I'd remember what options it had if it were still around. My Father's car. It's a 1969 Plymouth Sport Satellite. It was purchased form the original owner that had purchased it from my (other)Grandfather at the local Chrysler Plymouth dealership in the fall of '68. This car is a time capsule and solid as a rock. This thing has less NVH than some new cars! We have taken it to a few shows so far, which is always entertaining. It's really funny to watch people become disapointed when they see that it's not a Roadrunner and it doesn't have a Hemi under the hood. It's a 318 actually(BOO!, HISS!). I absolutely love this retina burning interior color. You can't really see it in the picture above, but the Sat has factory hand-painted stripes on the sides to match. You might note that this car also has a/c as revealed by the dash vents. That makes it a much better cruiser than the 'cuda that becomes an easybake oven in the summer. Seriously, you could bake a cake in the damn thing! By the way, those hideous floormats are not a part of this car's originality and I apologize for them! Just to prove that it does make it out of the garage sometimes. Too bad this was the only pic I could get were some stranger wasn't somewhere nearby. At least you can sorta see the hand-painted stripes in this shot! ...and here is a little close up of the stripes. I think in places one can actually see where the painter sneezed. This happens to be the only decent shot I have of the car...so enjoy. I have no idea who that woman is, but hey, at least you can't see port-a-crapper in the background of this one! ...and to prove it made it out of the garage twice... Just a Pacifica that Dad had as a demonstrator...I liked the way the ice looked on it so I took a picture. My Sister's first car that she just can't sell, the '89 turbo Dirtona. This thing is loaded with nearly everything except leather and the Shelby package. Since it is an '89, it is also the last of the T-bar Daytonas. Someday maybe twenty years from now, people might be restoring these...we won't. Here's my buddy Jeff's '88 300ZX. Mods include: a euro spec engine (converted from NA in Germany...no emissions BS!), a manual transmission conversion, a manual boost controller set to 8psi,a cold air intake, full 2.5" exhaust, and polished stock wheels. A link to his page is in my friends list (jotten)if you want to read more and check out his pictures that obviously have better conditions and more skill behind them than do mine. His brother Jeremy's car that he wouldn't have had I not found it! It's obviously not a normal Datsun 280ZX. This particular model, the 1979 280ZX-R was only made that year. The reason behind it was to homologate the huge rear spoiler for racing, so Nissan put out about 1000 of these. This car only had about 79,000 original miles on it when it was delivered to him from California. It was a very nice car. I say "was" because two months after it was licensed, a Ford Econoline Van hit it damaging most of the front end. We can rebuild her...better than she was before. We have the technology...stronger, faster...well you get the point. This is my buddy Chad's latest SOLD. Another 70 'cuda. This one has a HEMI in it though not originally...but who cares? This isn't his only and it won't be his last. His Mopar list includes: a 79 Little Red Express, a 69 HEMI Charger R/T, and a 70 Super Bee. Notice I said "includes." I hate this guy...but in the nicest possible way. This would be the engine bay of Chad's Charger. Perfect, ain't it? I dare you to find something incorrect about it. His cousin Brad's Super Bee. He's done with it now and finally sent me a good picture. How does 500 cubic inches sound?

This has to be one of the most pissed off looking Jeeps ever made...which I like. No, those aren't stick-on louvres! I get that a lot. For those of you that have not seen this model, the louvres are standard. Chrysler added them to help cool the engine which created quite a bit of heat in the smaller Grand Cherokee engine bay. And a better angle Good pics for being shot out of a bedroom window, no? Good shot of the clear corners. Note the indigenous 5.9 Limited grille. Just finished washing it...you can tell by the chamois on the roof. Professional, huh? Had to mess with photoshop, so it was snowing in the dealership...trippy. eerie small town shopping center lighting. hmm...not bad ground clearance for a stocker. Getting mud and other things that belong to the woods off of that crossmember is a real chore, let me tell ya. Ice may be dangerous, but it makes these emblems look cool And some more ice...by the way, this is the only ice that has anything to do with my Jeep My stock 20-fo's. I have no idea what's going to replace them when I get some money...nothing over a 17 for sure though. Sorry they aren't very clean in this pic! I just liked this shot. I have really nothing to say about it. Hey, look at the remodeling in the background! Hey look, more remodeling! They are making our apartments look like storage sheds!

I have really nothing to say about it. Hey, look at the remodeling in the background! Hey look, more remodeling! They are making our apartments look like storage sheds!

This has to be one of the most pissed off looking Jeeps ever made...which I like. No, those aren't stick-on louvres! I get that a lot. For those of you that have not seen this model, the louvres are standard. Chrysler added them to help cool the engine which created quite a bit of heat in the smaller Grand Cherokee engine bay. And a better angle Good pics for being shot out of a bedroom window, no? Good shot of the clear corners. Note the indigenous 5.9 Limited grille. Just finished washing it...you can tell by the chamois on the roof. Professional, huh? Had to mess with photoshop, so it was snowing in the dealership...trippy. eerie small town shopping center lighting. hmm...not bad ground clearance for a stocker. Getting mud and other things that belong to the woods off of that crossmember is a real chore, let me tell ya.

This is my other car and also my first car. It took a year of searching to find the big-block and four-speed combo that I wanted, but I think it paid off. It's a 1970 Plymouth 'cuda. Under the hood is a 383 Super Commando. It runs fairly well for having the standard 'cuda engine with hardly anything modified. This 'cuda also has quite a few options like: a front elasometric bumper, road lamps, hood pins, Magnum 500 wheels, rally dash with tach and 150mph speedo, and front disc brakes. It came from the dealership (not the factory) with rear window louvres. They were absent at the time of purchase and quickly added along with the correct rear spoiler. Hopefully some day it will be absolutely flawless, but don't worry I'll still drive it! Yeah the grille isn't supposed to be black but argent silver...oh well. This is a good shot of the hood pins, elasometric bumper, and road lamps. Here's a newer pic. Note the rear window louvres and correct rear spoiler. In case you didn't read what's under the 'cuda's hood. I still can't believe how many people ask what engine it has after seeing it in person! It seems obvious when there's a "hockey stick" running from the door to a number at the end. As with the louvres and spoiler, these were not on my car from the factory. This is one of the few instances that I don't care about originality. The "hockey sticks" belong on this car! And here is said 383. I love all the orange. Currently it has wrinkle-black valve covers and a matching aircleaner. It's going back to the way it is seen here. By the way, that DieHard did just that. The 'cuda's arse when we first got it. Note the incorrect, Mustang-style rear spoiler. That has since been remedied. Eventually a new chrome bumper will be replacing that painted one that wasn't even an option on a white '70. The parking brake has been fixed too...and we got a new door on the garage. Here you can kinda see the brown interior that no one likes. It stays too. How many white 'cudas have you seen with brown interior? Yeah it's not perfect, but it's mine! MINE MINE MINE! My old Jeep. This is a '97 Limited. I did a few things to it like exhaust, intake, and an ignition upgrade, but it was, at best, a tic slower than my current Jeep was when it was totally stock. I do miss that color though.

This was my Grandfather's 1970 Barracuda Gran Coupe. The Gran Coupe was the "upscale" Barracuda in case you were wondering. Like mine, this car had a 383 under the hood though not the "Super Commando" version. His car had the 2bbl version that made about 290 horsepower to my 335. I know his car was really well optioned, but I don't remember with exactly what. I do remember that it was an automatic with console, and that it had burnt-orange interior to match the exterior. I really wish he still had it, because any Gran Coupe is rare...that and I'd remember what options it had if it were still around. My Father's car. It's a 1969 Plymouth Sport Satellite. It was purchased form the original owner that had purchased it from my (other)Grandfather at the local Chrysler Plymouth dealership in the fall of '68. This car is a time capsule and solid as a rock. This thing has less NVH than some new cars! We have taken it to a few shows so far, which is always entertaining. It's really funny to watch people become disapointed when they see that it's not a Roadrunner and it doesn't have a Hemi under the hood. It's a 318 actually(BOO!, HISS!). I absolutely love this retina burning interior color. You can't really see it in the picture above, but the Sat has factory hand-painted stripes on the sides to match. You might note that this car also has a/c as revealed by the dash vents. That makes it a much better cruiser than the 'cuda that becomes an easybake oven in the summer. Seriously, you could bake a cake in the damn thing! By the way, those hideous floormats are not a part of this car's originality and I apologize for them! Just to prove that it does make it out of the garage sometimes. Too bad this was the only pic I could get were some stranger wasn't somewhere nearby. At least you can sorta see the hand-painted stripes in this shot! ...and here is a little close up of the stripes. I think in places one can actually see where the painter sneezed. This happens to be the only decent shot I have of the car...so enjoy. I have no idea who that woman is, but hey, at least you can't see port-a-crapper in the background of this one! ...and to prove it made it out of the garage twice... Just a Pacifica that Dad had as a demonstrator...I liked the way the ice looked on it so I took a picture. My Sister's first car that she just can't sell, the '89 turbo Dirtona. This thing is loaded with nearly everything except leather and the Shelby package. Since it is an '89, it is also the last of the T-bar Daytonas. Someday maybe twenty years from now, people might be restoring these...we won't. Here's my buddy Jeff's '88 300ZX. Mods include: a euro spec engine (converted from NA in Germany...no emissions BS!), a manual transmission conversion, a manual boost controller set to 8psi,a cold air intake, full 2.5" exhaust, and polished stock wheels. A link to his page is in my friends list (jotten)if you want to read more and check out his pictures that obviously have better conditions and more skill behind them than do mine. His brother Jeremy's car that he wouldn't have had I not found it! It's obviously not a normal Datsun 280ZX. This particular model, the 1979 280ZX-R was only made that year. The reason behind it was to homologate the huge rear spoiler for racing, so Nissan put out about 1000 of these. This car only had about 79,000 original miles on it when it was delivered to him from California. It was a very nice car. I say "was" because two months after it was licensed, a Ford Econoline Van hit it damaging most of the front end. We can rebuild her...better than she was before. We have the technology...stronger, faster...well you get the point. This is my buddy Chad's latest SOLD. Another 70 'cuda. This one has a HEMI in it though not originally...but who cares? This isn't his only and it won't be his last. His Mopar list includes: a 79 Little Red Express, a 69 HEMI Charger R/T, and a 70 Super Bee. Notice I said "includes." I hate this guy...but in the nicest possible way. This would be the engine bay of Chad's Charger. Perfect, ain't it? I dare you to find something incorrect about it. His cousin Brad's Super Bee. He's done with it now and finally sent me a good picture. How does 500 cubic inches sound?
