These vehicles look amazing coming right off the showroom floor. I am not a fan of silver, but damn your vehicle looks clean/sharp.

Congratulations on the purchase and welcome to the board!

Looks great!! Wish I went with silver, black is impossible to keep clean.

That does look great! :)

Enjoy, these things are sweet. I was telling my buddy today, "You know what the best thing about having 420 hp at your feet? It never gets old!"

You need to respect these trucks, too. I was trying to beat an oncoming truck on a left turn the other night, and hit the gas too hard... Major chirp/slippage, and she launched! Didn't floor it, but when you're in first, you don't always have to! That was a big-time wake up call, SRT8 style! :D

I dont even try to keep my black clean, I like the stealth look it takes on when dirty, and I like the nice graphite color the rims turn from the brake dust.
I've always been an outside the box thinker anyway so...........

Thanks to every one for the nice comments :)

It was a hard decision between silver, steel blue and black, all looks very sharp. I decided to go with the silver, because the average temp summer time is 115+ and no way to keep a dark car cool with such temperature

So far, I am spending hours driving….. 500 m in 48 h :D :D :D

Sweet! Is this a 2006 or 2007? If it is a 2007 did it come with a remote starter (included in SRT Group 1)? And can you put up a pic of the inside dash.

Thx.

NICE F360!

I think those are the first picks of the Steel Blue SRT 8 yet!

Can't believe the Saudis got it first!!! :eek:

Congrats on your new ride, and have fun dodging IEDs!!!

JK ;) have to cross the border into Iraq to worry about those.

I would love to put a supercharger on it. :D

Somehow I doubt my wife will allow me to do much at least for now. When we get a second vehicle I might be able to do a bit more than tint windows and have it undercoated.

Thanks god my wife is car freak like me, the first thing she asked when I brought the Jeep… what kind of modification we can do for this baby….. I am very lucky :D
But man….. it's really sucks being oversees, its very difficult or impossible to find someone willing to sell parts oversees. I have tried most of the supporting venders and only one was willing to help me in getting kooks LT headers. I am still looking for B&B exhaust and CAI and after few months I think I will be looking for ported heads.

There are more and more enthusiasts over here these days. I saw a speed shop specializing in high performance parts and suspect they might be an option. I'm not sure where in Saudi you are.... but on your way to Bahrain just before you get to the causeway over in Thugba area... is a new speed shop right off the road.
