Looks like a comfy ride. Hows it drive?

100x better than my '03 Explorer work vehicle.

that v6 get up and go pretty good?

 

[mjonesjr]

It would blow the doors off my Explorer. It has a lot of pep and a lot of getty up.

 

[mn_smokeater]

thats for sure a plus plenty of go and the efficiency too or is it a gas hog?

I added the factory fog light option to it this past Saturday. Much more light at night is nice. Now I have to figure out how to get the fogs to stay on with the high beams.

I don't think I can leave anything alone.

After:

This is the install write up I did on it on a couple Jeep forums.

Next is installing the parts for auto headlights, auto wipers, and installing a new HVAC control unit since the lights in mine is burn out and can't be replaced.

Unfortunately there isn't. There is a way in the Wranglers, but it wont work on the Grand Cherokee.

lift it!!!!

I wouldn't mind a 3"-4" lift, but since it is my wife's daily driver it will stay stock. Besides, it rides amazingly now.

I agrees, I would leave it stock. Better ride, handling, gas mileage etc. It's just a grocery getter/school bus right?

Aint not damn school bus yet fool!

But yes, it is my wife's daily for whatever she does (work, home, grocery, etc.). It is our family vehicle in the evenings and on the weekends since it is the only vehicle we have right now (I presently have a company truck and when I go in the Army, I wont really need a vehicle for a while).

Ahhh...but it will be. You'll see. Them little munchkins will show up sooner or later.

Will you be getting another BII someday?>

If I can find a decent one. I am looking for a Gen 3 Ranger 4wd. If I can find one for the right price, I will have it.

You mean there is no way to wire the fog lamps in with the high beams? They must be separate wires somewhere in the harness...or where you referring to something else?
