    wingless' Special Order WL Grand Cherokee - Still Waiting

    Here's my other "new" car, a gorgeous Ensign Blue 1979 CJ-5 Renegade w/ 304 V8 and 3-speed transmission. My first vehicle, five decades ago, was my father's new Canary Yellow 1972 CJ-5 w/ 232 I6 and 3-speed transmission. I've been looking for a good example and found, purchased and had this CA...

    wingless' Special Order WL Grand Cherokee - Still Waiting

    My 2022 Macan was collected using the Porsche Delivery Experience at their Atlanta US headquarters. They do an AMAZING job for that delivery, including a full tour, race track time, wet skid circle time, 0-60-0 runs and kick plate runs (faster and faster towards a wet polished epoxy surface...

    wingless' Special Order WL Grand Cherokee - Still Waiting

    REALLY loving that Porsche provides a build date and an ETA for the vehicle arriving in the Jacksonville port. There are 100% of customers that would LOVE / expect Jeep to also show this level of respect to people plunking down HUGE sums of cash that supports their business. Every single...

    Factors for no wingless Electric Vehicle

    One of the "improvements" that would address the horrible environmental impact from Lithium-Ion batteries is to instead use lead acid batteries, w/ ¼ the energy density and ½ the operational life at lower component cost.

    Pretty sure uber expensive applies to all vehicles that are impossible for owner servicing. My '94 ZJ has been fully rebuilt / upgraded by me turning the wrenches. Those days are gone w/ new vehicles including the new Grand Cherokee.

    wingless' Special Order WL Grand Cherokee - Still Waiting

    Also previously owned a 2004 Porsche Cayenne Turbo. That car was amazing and scary fast. It got waaay too expensive after the warranty expired and it needed to be sold. I might need to flip this every four years to maintain a warranty, still undecided on that aspect. Agreed on the lower seat...

    wingless' Special Order WL Grand Cherokee - Still Waiting

    Jeep, this falls firmly into the you snooze you lose category. So, instead of the ongoing unknown duration indefinite waiting before I can place my order for my loaded Overland 2-row, w/ more and more configuration options becoming unavailable, I have instead ordered a different vehicle from a...

    Engine Covers

    According to that eBay listing: "For WL equipped with 3.6L engines, the Limited and Laredo trim lines are not equipped from the factory with an engine cover. Overland and Summit are equipped from the factory with an engine cover. Engine cover installation is not reimbursable on a shortage and...

    Running Boards

    It looks to me like the OEM Mopar black or bright side steps provide rocker panel protection, plus IMO look nice. My plan (when I can finally order my vehicle) is to select / include those OEM bright side steps. Note if something else exists at that time I will also examine those options, but...

    Off-Road Group package

    There has been ZERO useful information provided to me from the dealership, that would permit me to place my special order vehicle into the build queue. The dealership only provides Boolean yes/no info. Good luck

    Welcome to the forum. My speculation is that there will be a VERY short period, if any, when the Hydro Blue Pearl Coat paint may be special ordered from Jeep.
