I don't think you folks understand that Jeep is NO LONGER what it use to be. Its a full line up of full independent suspension cars geared towards a lot women and family folks. They are not a 1/10th capable off road as older Jeeps. SO a Jeep that is built and designed as a car, why not treat it as such? It a pavement performer, not a real trail performer

Hot rodding a PT Cruiser is wrong? Then I don't want to be right.

Should have just bought a Chevy Extreme edition S10. It would have been far less expensive and you'll look just as dumb.

You know, I think you're right! I think I just bought my last Jeep! Unless I buy on older TJ.

Busted, I saw a PT Cruiser with a Hemi and 15" wide slicks on the back! My life was built on classic and muscle cars. It just didn't seem right to use a PT for that. On the other hand, I saw a Gremlin on a Bronco chassis! Now THAT was strange! What was even stranger is he was mud-bogging it!

My own psychedelic dream is a Dodge Caravan with rear wheel drive and a V8 in the back seat!

Why does everyone care about what he does to his 2014 "Cherokee" ? Everyone was bashing it before it came out, someone has one and wants to lower it and ya'll act like he's trying to lower an XJ. Lol. I don't get it.

Now, why would you want to lower it? You have a brand new vehicle, drive it as it. Maybe change the wheels/tires. No sense in hacking up a brand new suspension that you overpaid for.

You have an 07 GC with a CRD. I seen your other thread. This guy is talking about a 2014 Cherokee. Apples and oranges.
