I loved my GT500, but I just wanted something with a little more room and something that was still sporty and looked sporty. I had almost just settled for a newer Tahoe, but then I found a decent deal on this JGC SRT8. It's a 2010 and it came with an AFE cai, offroad y-pipe, and a Corsa catback. I've added my old sound system from the Shelby and I'm waiting for my other sub to come in. I'm running a JL Audio 500/1 amp and currently a single JL Audio 12w3. I kind of miss the Shelby, but the Jeep is a lot of fun to drive and I get a lot of compliments on it. Onto the pics.

Nice man it looks great. My gf drove a 12 i think and a brand new 14. She said it was fun and really nice. Though it was slow off the line but she doesn't now how to use the launch control or how to launch an auto at all. What does she know. I would love to dri e one.

I've got a friend with a 2007 that has a vortech. That thing is ridiculous. Makes over 550whp and just rips off the line.

Has a buddy that bought one last year. He has 25k miles on it and is on his third set of tires. He said the AWD chews the crap out of his tires.

Nice jeep...they are def fun to drive but the MPG is HORRIBLE

that all depends on how you drive it.

Nice ride OP. Get her debadged and paint the chrome trim pieces to add to the sinister look.
Also the factory good years are known to go bad real quick in the front. Some people go as far as to say they are dangerous in terms of how they wear.
get yourself a nice 275/315 combo.

Thanks for the kind words guys. It is a blast to drive, and the MPG do suck. I go through a lot of stop lights on my way to work and back and that really doesn't help the mileage. I will eventually get rid of all the chrome, but right now I am waiting on my tuner to come back from diablo so I can turn this cel off. Sucky thing about the CEL being on is that I cant use my remote start right now.
