    2021 Summit Reserve Mods

    FYI - the Volant 16157 CAI does not fit WL series. While Summit Racing's website listed it as a part that would fit the "Grand Cherokee L" it does not. Spoke with tech support at TMG Performance (Corsa, Volant, etc.) and they confirmed that the 16157 CAI will not fit a WL series JGC. But they...

    2021 Summit Reserve Mods

    Next mod is a cold air intake so the HEMI can breathe. Per K&N, their 77-1563KP model for 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokees will not fit the new L series (Booo!!!). Have asked but their customer service rep had no idea when a new product will launch and suggested checking their website...

    2021 Summit Reserve Mods

    Popped on the spare tow hitch bumper cover with hitch hole today. Obviously if I'm towing something, I'll have the cover off to access the safety chain holes on either side of the hitch and electrical connections for the trailer that are over to the left. But for other items using just the hitch...

    2021 Summit Reserve Mods

    Here are shots of the 64" x 50" roof rack mounted. I think it looks much better than the 39" one I had on earlier. Will put the spare up top later this weekend and save the 39" cargo rack for the kid's Subabru when she heads off to college.

    2021 Summit Reserve Mods

    Here are some shots of the front tire clearance against the back of the tire well panel. A good 3/8" clearance from rubbing.

    2021 Summit Reserve Mods

    Here are photos of the 64" x 39" cargo rack. Way too narrow (for my taste) but you can see how it rides in the last photo on the cross bars. 64" long works well with clearance above the driver's head when sunroof is open and leaves space for sat radio antenna in back. Drove around with this set...

    2021 Summit Reserve Mods

    Next was adding a roof rack. I found some black aluminum crossbars by Saremas made for the new L series. Very low profile (see photo). I first popped on my old 64" x 39" rack but it was too narrow as shown in the photo. So ordered a 64" x 50" Arksen from Amazon Perfect-Wide Universal roof rack...

    2021 Summit Reserve Mods

    Also saw a post from a forum member who had cut a hole in the tow hitch bumper cover. I picked up a spare bumper cover and did the same, trimming the edging with some white plastic edge trim (small size) that fits 1/16 to 1/8 inch (1-3mm) edges that I ordered from Amazon ($10 for 5ft). Dremel...

    2021 Summit Reserve Mods

    No rubbing and any add'l road noise If at all is very minimal. Ride is a little stiffer than on the OEMs but I love the look and can't wait to get it up to the cabin.

    2021 Summit Reserve Mods

    Here are photos of new shoes on my 2021 SR. Went with 265/65R Falken Wildpeak AT3s on 18x9 KMC Technic cast aluminum wheels with +18mm offset. Note the +38mm offset difference that pushes the tire away from the suspension. The knuckle is still there but not hovering so much over the treads. Tire...

    2021 Summit Reserve Mods

    Received my SR 6-7 months ago. This forum has been very helpful in passing along useful information so I wanted to reciprocate and share what I have been able to do so far. First thing was new wheels and tires. Read here about 265/65s on 18s and liked the photos so I have done the same. Photos...

    Cold air intake?

    Just heard back from K&N customer support... "Thank you for contacting Customer Service. The 63-1563 does not fit the Grand Cherokee L models. At this time we do not have a system for the L model grand cherokees. Please check back in a couple of months for any new development of products." So...

    Waiting for my Summit Reserve HEMI

    Finally arrived from Toledo yesterday. Made plans to pick it up today. Dealer called back saying there was a recall going to be posted last night that would lock the vehicle from being sold. So went over and picked it up for $2K under sticker. Will bring it by to get the recall addressed -...

    Waiting for my Summit Reserve HEMI

    Hello Forum! Ordered a Summit Reserve HEMI on June 7th. Have my VIN but dealer says factory line is moving slow. Will use Jeep chat to get an update when they go live again. Looking forward to getting some good tips on mods - starting with a K&N cold air intake and new wheels/tires. HEMIs gotta...
