you can disable the sensors all together but you will have a warning light on the dash all the time.

they will not offer a front nudge bar for the jeep models with front parking sensors.

PS i can't comment on other 4wd as i have no idea how their sensors work.

From the technical guys at jeep head office state NO NUDGE BARS ON 2011 jeep with front parking sensors

stupid i know as i would love one on my overland

If you read my post I did say "if the nudgebar fits between the sensors".
if it does not then it won't work.

Mount 2 sensors on the nudgebar!
Not that hard.
Mopar cataloge show how to mount the sensors on the bumper, could not be that hard to move them.

(We've ruled out the V6 petrol as it did not do it for us).

I sat in the new Grand on the weekend. The car is very impressive and looks great but I can't believe they put the handbrake down where they did. Traditionally that area has been a problem and now they have made it worse. In my normal driving position the foot/hand brake was banging my shins. Potentially a great car ruined for me, I wouldn't put up with that. Mike

Completely agree.... the foot operated park brake is appalling, and they still haven't completely fixed where exactly your left foot/leg is supposed to rest.

The more I look at them, the more I see the massive void under the rear being the perfect position for a Hemi's LPG system.

I've never seen the hand, sorry foot brake, in the flesh, but it would be interesting to see how it is placed and effects the LHD versions. It might not be an issue for them so they don't care about us RHD buyers.

In LHD it's placed to the left, hard up against the pillar, so no problem really because the console isn't there to make it cramped.

From what I've read on US forums, only REALLY large/tall guys whinge about it.

Some of those Americans are enormous! :p
