Aftermarket/Off Road Parts

[josep1628]

Hey y'all, first post here

Is there any sites/companies we should keep an eye on that specialize and create aftermarket parts for Grand Cherokee?

I know it'll still be a bit since everyones just now getting their WL's but wanting to keep an eye out either way. Something similar to MFC Offroad who specialize in Cherokees.

I found this:
Off Road Animal
And I've bought things for my '03 Disco off of Rocky Road Outfitters.

What else?

Well, I guess I'd start by looking for companies that supported the WK2. They would be most likely to continue supporting the new platform. The WK2 forums might be the place to figure that out? I'd really like to buy full aluminum skids to keep the weight down. Apparently no companies ever offered locking diffs for the WK/2 so I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. It seems like if you want that, you have to order it that way from the factory as it doesn't sound like an easy retrofit either, due to the the VIN-based software coding. These cars are a lot like Apple products; You have to buy it with the stock configuration you want or forget about it. I could see some potential for skids, sliders and maybe bumpers, but bumpers are tough too with all the electronics fitted in them now (airbag sensors, PDC, radar cruise, self-driving cameras, etc (self-driving uses side cameras too so they have to design around that as well).
