OK guys been hanging out here since I was given a 2008 CRD as a company car in May 2008. So I have owned her since new...she spent the first 2 years as my company car and then in 2010 I had the opportunity to buy her at a greatly reduced price that I could not pass up.

I was torn between keeping the CRD and selling it for a profit....well time has passed and she has grown on me a lot. Being a CRD is probably the biggest reason and the fact that she is a very capable off road truck makes her even better.

OEM Specs

2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD
V6 Diesel 215hp/376 lb ft torque
QuadaTrac 2 - QT2

Scootr - those AEV's are so cool lookin!

Question: they have a 4.7" b/s with a +10mm offset - anybody know how that compares to a stock Ronin II with 6.25"b/s and 50.8mm offset with 1.5" spacers?

sounds like JBA has is heart right. I have had few different purchases come with things like that. A place i use to order firearm accesaries always send me literature and so on. Me being in school to getting a degree in christian education so I can pastor a church it really means a lot to me. It makes it to when i have a choice, i will always give them my repeat bussiness.
