I had my 2006 for 7 years, some one hit me and it was totaled. Went and tried a c5 z06 and couldn't wait to get back to my jeep srt. Now I have an 08. Glad to see someone making content on the wk1 srt8!
Girlfriends love to have you sell your sports car that you had when you met them. It's a point of bragging for them. Bonus points if you complain about selling it years later because you miss it or it went sky high in value. You don't need a sports car if you are going to start a family. Is something they might say. SRT8 or any Hemi powered car is a loophole. Even though when I was a kid every family car had a big engine.
@James28R Dang!! Really? That's crazy mine only say it on the center caps now, but you do have a 17 and if they're the spider monkey wheels that totally makes sense!
The 6.1 jeep was a sleeper for it's time. A few engine mods an the 6.1 hemi wakes up ! I love driving mine around town, only (3 in my area) it sure does turn heads ! The cam and exhaust make it a fun daily 😎
@_17Max mine has been very dependable. I daily it mostly to work an back. Groceries here an there. I go to the track in the summer. Take the kids for ice cream. It has never left me stranded. I have heads, cam, converter and nitro an id drive this girl anywhere ! Now take into consideration that whatever one you buy it is an older jeep/sport SUV. It will need maintenance at some point. Spark plugs, water pump shocks brakes etc.
I love ford lightnings my father had a red 01 and now having grown up I want to buy a red 03/04 so seeing that outro was a nice touch for me haha currently wanting a trail blazer ss or wk1 srt8 but I should probably hold off on that till I get a lightning but the 4wd would be a lot nicer around here.
@@lennymcdonald8328 I would too haha hopefully the place I’m moving into next has a garage I’d hate to keep the nice cars outside like I did with my last vehicle.
I've owned my 06 since 2013. Put in a 426 in 2016. Love this vehicle but it seems to always have issues. Nothing like blasting off at a red light and leaving RWD vehicles behind you. Beware that the 2006 models have faulty computers that will need replaced at great cost and hassle.
Just got my 2008 srt8 Jeep last month started tearing it down for a new Cam and updated lifters after I got it with a nasty knocking and ticking sound. Thank you for the tips
Honestly same with me. I’ve been taking it to a local shop called Southgreen Auto in hartford. Ask for George if you go, as he is really familiar with HEMI engines

GM has a few loophole cars too, 2016 SS,Pontiac G8 GT & GXP + any Cadillac CTS-V any trim lol besides the coupes
Are these jeep’s still running strong after 180k+ miles??
2012-15 had the embossed SRT on the wheels but stopped at 2016.. Great jeep! Great video!!
my 17 has embossed wheels

How is the Jeep running now??
Not all WK Grand Cheerokees were AWD ;)
All SRT8’s were!
Had 2010 srt8 same color, sold it for a 2012 srt8. Looking to get a 2010 again. Regrets!
My favorite thing about my 2009 Jeep SRT8 is being able to trash bozos & leaving them behind like tiny ants in my rear view mirror. 🤣
Especially Blazer SS’ :)
@@AmericanVsImports 🤣
I have an 06 as well. Do u know any good shops in CT?? I don't trust the dealers to work on mine after the dealings I've had.
