Any one keep their GC SRT8 not garaged over night? I am little concerned about keeping it uncovered. Perhaps a good alarm system will keep it away from harmsway...

I keep mine outside becuase I only have a one car garage. I keep it coverd every night and have done so for the last 6 months. No problems so far.

Mine generally stays in a garage, but when it's out I don't think twice about it.

I have more important things to worry about being harmed than a vehicle. Like my kids. :p

I only have enough room to park one of my rides in the garage. I have good covers for the Charger and the Cherokee, but I also rotate which one I leave outside.

Where can I purchase a cover for these vehicles? I have one garage full of lawn equipment/etc. and the other one is already full with 3 cars. So my Black truck and Red Rock stay outside. :(

I bought one for my Cobra from Big Sky car cover outlet. They have any cover you would want. Decent prices too.

Thanks for the replies. I am temporarily relocating to Norther NJ from Chicago. It appears there aren't too many 2 car garage townhomes for rent up there so I am stuck with parking the car outside and playing musical chairs with my wife I guess. Luckily, it's not in a slum so I presume it will be safe. I just hate having to zaino the car for hours and let it just sit out :(

i leave it out everynight and no problems, 90% of people just think its a regular grandcherokee anyway, not many people actually pay attention to vehicles

I leave mine outside. Never a problem until the other day when a neighbor girl tried to jump the curb on her bike, lost it and hit the Jeep. Nice long scratch.
Needless to say I corraled her and had her bring her dad out. He is going to pay for it, but I was a might upset.

I got one of these when we bought the Jeep. For the money it is a nice little system if you have a driveway or spot where there isn't to much movement or traffic to set it off.
