so, last august we hitched up the 968 on a u-haul flatbed trailer and towed it to denver behind the jeep for the rocky mountain event - it made the run fine, having only one spot at 11,000 feet that was tough (some bonehead passed me and made me slow down) it was a very clean black 1998 Grand Cherokee with a 5.2l V8, full class 4 tow package, tinted windows, power sunroof, grey leather interior with wood trim, fully loaded, infinity sound system, power everything, rebuilt differentials, new cooling system, and fresh brakes i bought it from my next door neighbor, who was the original owner, and had meticulously maintainted it at the dealer - i felt very secure in the purchase since then, i have made a lot of mods, in anticipation of a lot of such events i wanted to improve the handling, so i added 17x8 voxx rims with bridgestone RE680 275/55/17 tires, aadco larger sway bars, bilstein shocks, eibach progressive 1" lowering springs, new front lower control arms, new old man emu steering stabilizer, and upgraded brake pads for more power, i added the K&N intake kit, which gave me 25.7 more horespower - it also got fresh wires and plugs all in all, this turned out to be one sweet rig then, of course, we got to denver, and my other half got to drive eric's yukon denali (you know where that leads) so, we have now taken delivery of our new 2006 yukon denali - since i can't leave anything alone, i installed the 22x10 rims with 305/40s on them, lowered the front 2" and the rear 3", and installed larger eibach sway bars - amazing!! - pics to follow anyway, the jeep is now for sale - it has 109k on it, runs like a top, and according to the dealer who recently serviced it, should go over 200k - pricing it at 12k - i'll have photos soon i am also selling the factory GMC 17x8 polished 6 spoke rims with goodyear wrangler hp 265/70/17 tires (71 miles!) - pics and price to follow

my pioneer plays DVDs, though not while moving - a mod is getting done in the next couple of weeks when i add some more audio to the bose system that will allow full operation (not that i will use it or advocate it)
