My illuminated ones came today
Only problem is the illuminated ones are just the inserts.
Or I got ripped off.

The IL ones just replace what you have

I fitted the SS ones and they look great $70 ex USA about $30 shipping
also bought the jeep rubber boot liner cost about $130 inc shipping ex usa as Jeep Aust had none

I understand your exitement I placed an order for the diesel back in feb. I had more info from the net than the local dealers and mercedes dealers told me more than jeep dealers could. I have been waiting very patiently and found out last week the car is on the docks at melbourne should be at the dealership early july .I have the Laredo in dark charcoal with the quadra lift

Assuming you have had the new Grand Cherokee for more than a month...what is your honest opinion?

I have almost 1000km on my crd overland and I am completely smitten by it. It has done some off road work, though on the easy side, no obvious problems evident and I never bought it for the extreme stuff anyway. I did buy it as a tow platform and I had enough k's on the clock to try a run with a 6m fibreglass boat on the back. It tows like a dream and was able to beat traffic off the mark at the bottom of some steep hills which the old patrol really lost momentum on. The only odd thing to date has been the first time I hooked up the trailer lights I got a range of warnings about rear parking sensors and then it would not start at all, then start and die. A call to jeep assist and was told to lock/unlock the car three times to reset the electronics. It worked and leaves me slightly nervous whether I bought a car or computer. Never had a problem since and am not sure what to make of it all. As a towing platform the tight turning circle and torque are a boon. Reverse camera has black lines off the tow ball so its easy to hook up. I crossed the Pajero off the list because I could not see the tow ball with the camera. Cheers Frank
