To SRT or not?

I say do it. 420 hp and full time 4wd, its like an overgrown rally car.

 

Only thing I have ever heard about them is trans issues with them not shifting. Buddy had one that went into "limp mode" once a week. Wasn't something wrong with the trans itself, just some sensor issues.

I always thought the wheel arches on those looked funny, like giant isosceles trapezoids or something. Idk, I'm weird I guess.

Depending on the "really good price" I would definitely consider it, they are cool vehicles.

boy, they sure don't look good in white. Everyone I have ever seen has been black or dark gray, looks best in those colors. supposed to kick the crap out of a trailblazer SS stock for stock.

I definitely miss mine. I have a friend selling a show room condition black 07 with 40k miles.

 

I never had trans issues until I added the blower and did 20 rolls, and AWD burn outs. Around 500 whp on the dyno

 

Damn you had a nice one.

I've got an 06 in the same color with 56k miles. Great truck, can't see myself ever selling it. Driving calmly in rural areas I get 17mpg which surprised me. I don't think you can go wrong, their asking price is a great deal already.

What is a "good price" on this car to you?

When new this Jeep cost $40k. Holding 50% of its value after 10 years is pretty good.

They were going to sell it to me for ~16K. I went and test drove it and immediately found problems with the drive train, rear diff howling, a shutter at about half pedal and a clunking noise in the center diff. So I am going to pass on this one. :no:

I still want one as a DD...but if you are looking for a 'toy'...I'd look elsewhere, it was kinda boring and bland after the first initial charge to 60. They shoulda put a 6spd in these.

 

If it had a 6 speed, I'd already have one for sure. The only reason I got my challenger over the srt8 or charger was the manual.
