Yeah, mine were pretty bad. I got the tires dismounted, and sanded down the really bad ones. Powdercoating is considerably "thicker" than paint so it fills in better. They also sandblast them, so it'll smooth some of the scratches.

I'll definitely post pictures when I get them back.

I had the same thought as Brent. ATLP is the way to go, to settle for Greddy seems like a bad idea if you are really after quads. Your going to have a lot of exhaust noise in the cabin with Greddy, it's way loud. Looks wise, it's also a fart can ish looking exhaust. ATLP is winner in many aspects, looks, sound, quality, ect.

Does anyone know a "master" or expert plumber? I'm willing to pay someone to just look at something and give me some professional advice.

Also I will be selling a brand new white GE microwave and GE dishwasher. These came with my new place and I'm selling cause all my other stuff is black. If anyone is interested let me know...

I've thrown that idea around. Looking for a 2008 Grand Cherokee 4x4 CRD or even going for a 2011 Grand Cherokee 4x4 3.6L V6. I need the utility. And I miss the altitude. But I might just hold out. I'm at 74,700 miles and she drives well. Granted...I did have to replace the starter on the TL on Wednesday. Easy job, I'm just not use to having to lean over working on a car. I'm use to crawling under.

I have a 2008 srt that I love! The 2011s look so nice I am debating trading it in. Have you driven a 2011?

i was at Gillman Dodge/jeep on friday when the first 2011 Cherokee got dropped off. I'm completely blown away by the quality of the build of that car. very cheap for what it is. I'd buy one right away if I could

It's a screw up. The 3G TL does not have bolt on headers. The cylinders collect into one port on the cylinder head, where the primary cats bolt on.
