Default New Jeep Owner -2011 WK2

Hi All,

Just put an order in on the new 2011 Grand Cherokee (WK2 as they call it in the US)

Limited V6

Options:

Quadra-Lift
Mopar Skid Plates
Mopar Side Steps


I am an ex 80s landcrusier owner and look forward to taking this offroad as well as enjoying the drive around the city, which was always a chore in the 80..

I was disapointed the quad drive 2 was only on the v8 model as I wanted that option, so will have to see how it affects it offroad and see what options they are.

I have the stock 20" rims but will be getting some 17" or 18" to equip for the offroad adventure.

any advice assistance would be great Should pick it up in 2 weeks.

kFc

Yeah, I'd like to hear some feedback after taking it offroad. WK2 has IFS front and rear, so tha's why I'd like to know. Sure isn't flexible at all

I would be interested in feedback, particularly the performance of the V6. We have pretty much decided we will pick up a new Grand Cherokee V6 or diesel in the next few months, we are just to decide whether to go the Laredo or Limited and V6 petrol or wait for the diesel.
Congrats on the purchase.

Will certainly let you know, coming from the 80s live axel that was my biggest worry, but the trade off was the city driving experience..

Does anyone if diff locks / ox lockers able to be fitted to the wk2?

Congrats on the order!
