nice ride, make sure u crawl under it and see what is leaking. those grand cherokees are notorious for leaking from front pinion seal, tranny pan, transfer case, and rear differential. just to give ya a heads up

Don't go looking for gaskets when you want to replace half of them cause all we use to seal them with is RTV. congrats man... my dad had the same exact truck but in a different color, he had it for 3 years and it had no problems... the 4.7h.o also has some ***** to it. so congrats and enjoy the new ride.

Congrats on the Jeep! My fiancé and I have been shopping around to entertain the though of a new DD and I used to work for a Chrysler/Jeep dealership, thus I would love to have a Jeep like that! May I ask how much you stole it for? You definitely got the pimp model of all Jeeps there though! I <3 Overlands!

Includes the aftermarket RB1 navigation/sattelite radio setup
Rear Cargo mat
Bug Guard
No fees
The best part is I still have the remainder of the 7yr/70k warranty.
Dave, my bro had a cherokee sport and his front bumper faded big time within a year!
