Whats up Grand Cherokee dudes?

I thought I should give my dad's jeep it's own thread, it's now worthy.

2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Special edition *With only 61K miles!!!!*
V8-5 speed auto-d30/d44a
Black Interior, Leather, infinity system, sun roof, heated everything.
Also- Factory Hooks, hitch and skids.




It's a great, clean rig.

It came with crappy tires, so we sold them, and got some 245-75r16's, and added a 2 inch BB.



The suspension needed some help, so we got some Iron Rock love, and got a set of Bilstiens that works for 2-4 inches of lift.

Much better!

It felt ok, but we noticed that the back was too loose. A call to Iron Rock got us an addco sway bar. And finally it felt amazing, tighter, and very controlled.

My dad loved the sliders I have, so we called up Kevins Off road, and got a sweet set of tube sliders. They required a right hand drill attachment.


It was looking pretty good!


But it gets better.

Thats a really nice looking Jeep. I like it a lot.

We recently did a full brake job. All new napa rotors, and hawk brake pads. It stops awesome. Way better than my xj.

Tuesday- My dad was sick of the minivan look... so...

We got a 3 inch IRO kit, which included springs, rear sway bar links, and a longer track bar. It was really easy to install. and we had the shocks already, so with the free shipping, it came out to $500 even.



Front removal of junk.


Rear done.


Way better!




Next updates include jks disco's, 265-75r16 BFG's, and some bar pin eliminators.

Enjoy.

We took this jeep on a road trip over to Jackson ca, and it did well, but I think a .75" spacer is needed for the back. Otherwise it rides great.

[MoparBoy01]

Looks great, any other updates on it?

[Stubby]

Newb question:

W/ the 3" lift did you have to drop the transfer case with brackets and or will you have to if you add spacers?
It looks really good btw!

Thanks

[srmitchell]

Thanks guys.

No tcase work. No vibes.

We ordered a 3/8ths spacer for the back, and bar pin eliminators for the front.

Will be goin on tomorrow.

Jeep looks good! Bilsteins for 2-4"? I'm looking to get some and I thought the 5100s were 1-2" & 3-4". Do you have a part # for front and rear? Also, how did they ride on the 2"BB? Thanks

[srmitchell]

I don't have the part number. Call iron rock, and they can hook it up.

They were good on the BB, but without the addco, it just sucks. The 3 inch with the shocks and swaybar is great.

Nice job man! Are you ever planning on getting some nice alloys to widen the stance?

[srmitchell]

No.

We don't like the wide look.

And the factory rims are light, and really clean.

He's getting some 265/75/r16's very soon, maybe next week.

Nice. I didnt wanna say bigger tires cause I hate when people tell me to get bigger tires...cause its not that easy haha.

[srmitchell]

Got an update.

Got the updated, 4 inch wide kevins offroad sliders. They stick out better.


Also, we got some jks disconnects, but they clunk badly at the bushings.
Any ideas?

nice and clean. I like it!

[ras2001wj]

Ohhh how much I would love a silver 04 with a v8 that is that clean
