Hey everybody i'm Paul...23 years old...from Lancaster, CA....been pretty active in the Srt community for almost 2 years. I just acquired my 08' GCSRT8 from Don @ Champion and traded my 300SRT in. Jeep is freakin loaded...mygig, sunroof, hid's, KICKER upgrade w/ dual subs(installed by Champion Jeep), rear dvd...the works! Also got Palella dark tails with clear reverse, the front tints to match the rears, and a 45% tint on the windshield...all before i got my jeep. Then the next day i got limo on all the windows cept windshield and had bought my steering wheel sticker ready to put on...This Jeep is HANDS DOWN the BEST vehicle i've ever owned!!! Previous vehicles were a 99 Mercury Cougar(wheels, bodykit,engine,etc), 01 Lincoln Navigator(Airbagged, audio, wheels, engine), and 300c Srt-8 (a LOT of stuff, 24's, cutouts,engine).

The difference in the 300 and Jeep is night and day IMO....and i'm sure many of you agree....simply with the AWD and gear difference....

The weather has been bad here and this Jeep handles like a champ through everything i've gone through so far. Some differences i really like from my 300 is the Jeeps higher front bumper ground clearance, AWD(duh), exhaust note, and the extra room.

I plan on going the same route with my Jeep as i did with my 300. I like to STAND OUT. Basically my 300 was very well known on the forums/web for my cutouts and 24's.......because those and the fact that is was an SRT made it unique. The mod journey my 300 went though was basically bolt ons and exterior upgrades and then when warranty expired then i would dip into some heads/cam/intake/nitrous/supercharger/turbo....BUT i lost interest in my 300's potential cuz i couldn't justify spending thousands just to get some traction and a good launch...so i got my Jeep cuz it's for the most part got that part covered with bolt ons and nitrous.

So basically my plan of attack i plan to finish this year is..... BWoody/Thorhammer?, Kooks LT's with ceramic coating, Borla S, electric cutouts, Bwoody sway bar links, blacked out front amber reflectors, Coated intake, billet tech catch can, phenolic spacers, 180 thermostat, Racemesh grille, full LED swap interior/exterior, debadge, Dashhawk, radar detector, 8000k oem replacement bulbs, 8000k fogs, SRT windshield banner, 24's, adjustable coil overs, RM360 antenna, and torque coverter.....and still be well under warranty...miles right now are 600 since i got my Jeep a couple days ago lol...with the above mods(no 24's) i'm shooting for a 12.3-12.4(high 11's with Nos...Stanko style lol) at my local track (Famoso Raceway)

Some coil overs(when they're released) and 24's will be in my Jeeps future for sure....no doubt about it...why? cuz 24's fit the wheel well perfectly and they are uncommon. Some of you who already know me, know i still love drag racing...a matter of fact i like GO more than SHOW.....but on the street where i do most of my driving i want it to be BAD....not nice...but BAD....like OMG did you see that sick Jeep!!! My outlook on 24's on the Jeep is i know putting 24's on a stock Jeep would make it look lifted so i would have to wait for some coil overs(hoping for some dampering control too). And i wouldn't lower my Srt on stock rims cuz that front bumper gets LOW when heavy brakes are applied...in case you all didn't notice

24's on my Chrysler treated me VERY well...no bending, no suspension problems, no NOTHING...i did curb rash them once but that can happen with ANY rim. My performance suffered .4 secs in the quarter (13.40 on 24's compared to 13.04 stock wheels) but for me i need all i can get to slow down on the streets cuz speed is addictive. I'm not interested in "performance" driving on the streets cuz that's what gets me into trouble. So you all might wanna save me the 24 bashing cuz i know what i looks good....you gotta be different and DO IT....

CUTOUTS......the sickest head turning badass mod by far on the Hemi's last year.....not too well known until i got mine and started posting up videos everywhere......people are ordering the low profile cutouts from DMH like CRAZY now lol

Off of mods.....

My big thing is PICTURES/VIDEOS and write ups.... Over the years i've gotten tired of cheap pics/videos/threads that don't show and explain enough of these awesome cars. So when i post a pics/vids you BETTER believe they will be SICK!!!

Youtube is my main passage for videos and i post pics for forum members to learn stuff.

and one more thing....

I will PAY TOP DOLLAR for the following items(good condition)....

1. A billet RM360 antenna

2. Rear Fogs- The socket plugs and 6+ inches of wiring from an 06 or 07 from somebody who has no interest in getting their rears turned on. Basically cut the useless wiring coming from the bulbs and leave the bulb/base in the lense.
PLEASE as i can't order that harness from the dealer....already researched it.....all my 08 has it the white base with bulbs in them....NO kind of blue attachment and wiring......i NEED THIS....TOP DOLLAR!!! Paypal ready!

3. 08 front amber reflector covers......if/when made...might just go with the black out film or tint tho.....

It feels great to join the club...be easy on me ;)

Hey there's Don!!!. Nice rig, I like the Silver with the tinted tails., good choice. Keep it clean, you will love it.

Good luck man, welcome to the boards. If I were you, I would lose the SRT banner in your future mod list, but thats just me, otherwise, it sounds like its gonna be sweet.

Remove the "Jeep" badging front and rear!

Hmmmm now u have me second guessing.....i just want it to be known as an Srt not a Jeep ya know....kinda tired already of explaining that it's not just a "Jeep"

Still up in the air

Nice Whips Great Looking I Really Like That Champion Plate

Got your texts Paul. I was in meetings all weekend. Congrats and looking forward to your spin on a GCSRT8 for sure. I wanna hear that Kicker system. Come down to GSM this weekend for the bbq.

What up Paul you silly mofo! She's lookin good already!
Here's my idea on the debadging........I like a "clean and simple" look. And all badges do is hold water and get in the way of detailing! Plus, I get a kick out of having people just staaaaaare and try to figure out what it is I'm driving. I have zero badges on my Jeep, other than the SRT8 license plate frame. I can't tell you how many people have gawked and stared the Jeep up and down trying to figure out what the hell it is! Kinda cool......
JMO, some guys think it's sacreligous to take the SRT8 badge off!

Welcome to the 0-60 SUV Rocket family! Glad to see you enjoying the jeep, I looked at the 300's but went the jeep route for winters here in pa.....plus the looks and performance was nice too.:)

Nice Jeep, how'd you manage to get one with Palella Tails on it aleady?! Good luck with the 24's, you'll definately get people's attention, curious to see what the 1/4 mile degredation will be. Cutouts may or may not help your performance.... depends how the backpressure or lack thereof meshes with the motor. Personally I prefer "cammed" over "loud", but who am I to argue, i have no cats :D

Pallela hooked my tails up AND my front two windows and windshield tint....Don got me connected!!!

With my 24's on my 300 the quarter mile was .4 secs slower.....cutouts would be awesome with a cam but i'm not gonna tap into that until warranty runs out ya know....

QUESTION: How bad does it smell behind ur Jeep withouts cats? Louder than with cats? Should i or should i not....and why?

Another question....maybe i just gotta get used to AWD but on WOT it feels like the power is pulling from different corners....kinda like an out of control power but IN control too....you know what i mean? Does that sound normal? It doesn't pull to one side but it feels like ti kinda wants to at times with the power WOTS!

Nice rides and glad you got away from Ford! :D

Paul........I love your kind, Lots of pics and Videos, Your 300 was Badazz. The cutouts is an awesome mod to have. You will fit in just great around here in my book. Good luck on modding the Jeep, Keep us posted on the mods or any help!

Hmmmm now u have me second guessing.....i just want it to be known as an Srt not a Jeep ya know....kinda tired already of explaining that it's not just a "Jeep"

Once you put on the exhaust and the headers. If it's running, no one will make that mistake.:D

T:cool:

I have no idea how bad it smells behind my jeep, lol, never rode back there :D Its a little stinkier than with cats, but youd never know unless stand behind it while idling. I'm not a good example of the volume levels with/without cats, becuase my exhaust is abnormal, gets routed forward through a turbine and then back down and around.

The tinted tails look great. I also enjoyed the photos of Don with the Jeep on his trailer. One day that same scene will unfold in my front driveway....
