Elantra no more.

About 10 days ago the wife decided there wasn't enough legroom on the back of the Elantra and not enough boot space.
So taking advantage of not being allowed at work but no actually sick I scoured the Internet. Not looking at anything in particular. Her car her pick I just do the work finding the right deals.
Anyway had a big day today left home at 4:40am and got home at 7:40pm.

Well missus is royally chuffed with the Grand Cherokee. That's a big load off my mind.
Got some seat covers and floor mats today and I bought a clay pack and some assorted cleaning products. Will get a good going over hopefully next weekend.
Researching audio/nav options. Will probably require some cutting but aiming at 6-7" screen.

As for any troubles it may have. Who cares, it's an awesome vehicle. More than likely won't have any major issues anyway.

Thanks Doggie, sure do love em. Best bit is my Cherokee is no longer the touring vehicle. That means more angle grinder, less keeping it family friendly

Looks good Tim

I wonder what your big wheels on the other one would look like on that

Nowhere near it.
Jeep already did that tribute in the XJ.

I don't mind the styling of the newer jeeps, but I still have reservations about the quality ..he says, buying a holden...

Quality went up a lot when FIAT bought Chrysler in 2010/2011?

Yes, Fiat and Quality aren't two words often used in the same sentence.

Seriously c#*p stuff. But, at least Jeep kept their independance (to a degree) through their own production plant in Austria.

But i get what Dazzler means. This is what i want, someday.....

You want a digital one? Plus (re-done) oil and grease maintenance chart ?

Thanks Dave but I'm really unlikely to ever own a Jeep so it's probably a bit pointless....thanks anyhow...
