05' Grand Cherokee... wife needed to get rid of car and get a new car soon, so we bit the bullet and got an 05 gc instead of an 07 patriot... Very nice truck, she will be happy with it. :) Worse mileage, but other than that, it seems like an upgrade. At least we stuck w/ jeep! ;)

Good luck with it! Post some pics if you get a chance.

I had a 95 ZJ. My favorite Jeep I've had yet.

So you upgraded from the Dodge to the Jeep... cool. How long before the modding begins?

Thanks for the photos! That's a nice looking Jeep. Good color.

Dakota is mine... Wifes new car is the Jeep, upgrading from a Pontiac GP-GT. First mod will be to remove the dealership pinstripe stickers and give it a wax... Prob not a lot after that, wife doesn't offroad much if at all. We liked the space and the safety ratings and towing/camping. Truck is more my toy.

Congrats on the new G.C. ....looks great.... I own a 2006 G.C. Overland...great vehicle...on and off-road...The Hemi with Multi-Displacement system works well on the highway, especially on cruise...but when you need to pass...wow...no problem there...takes off like a rocket...I find the interior very comfortable...I'm sure your wife will love it...

Thanks, wifes excited too, we pick it up monday. Interesting note, this is cheaper for us to insure (with identical coverage) than our 99' grand prix-v6.. almost $20/mo cheaper.

of course... if you asked me which I would choose to get in an accident with, if i had too, I would choose the WK without batting an eye.
