Thanks Skunkd, you were the trigger for me to get the wheels....I have a Overland, using the adjustable air linkages from Adjustable Air Ride that i bought from another member here. the pics are in PARK mode.
Been looking to do the door handles myself to color match the white limited I have. Found a full set for not too bad price wise, but haven't ordered them yet. Debating attempting to DIY, but have heard it's rather a pain in the ass. Got two quotes from local shops that wanted $5-600 to install :slapfight: so I've been kinda in limbo with them.
Yeah took me all day. Tried to take my time but it still had areas showing a bit of chrome. When I have time I'm gonna redo the messed up ones.
Yeah I'm the same with color handles. Don't know if I'll do it myself... Heard there's a lot to take off and you even have to remove the window glass....

Ive popped the paneling off briefly to just see what was inside, and it doesn't look pretty; a lot going on I there. Didn't try to remove anything else, was just a recon mission. The handles are the last bit of chrome on my ride., so I'd like to get the, done. Just having an internal argument about spending like $900 on the handles and install. Have a day off coming up next week and was going to make a few stops at some local places to see if I can get better than the other quotes I got. Those two were from "custom" car shops, that do more customization and mods. Maybe I'll have some better luck with a smaller, run of the mill body shop.
Pulled the paneling off again this week-end to give it a closer look. It's a lot of work and the window pane looks like it needs to come out. No thanks. Local smaller auto shop said they would do it for $80 a door (x4 = $320). Not overly cheap, but the custom shop down the road wanted $150 per door. Probably just going to have the local body place do it in the near future. Don't trust myself to get all my doors back together and in working order if I start pulling them apart :slapfight:
did you install the lowering links yourself? any need for an alignment after? I'm going to lower mine and am going to order 22x10.5's. I just rolled 200 miles on it.
yeah the links are soooooo easy to install, literally just gently pull the old links off and pop the adj links on. I did go get an alingment, but the camber was maxed out and they couldn't adjust it any closer to factory spec im like -1.7 up front and -1.5 in back. expect some excessive wear if you do lower your air suspension.
Thanks. I'll have to check out the camber situation. I ran into the same thing lowering my c6 vette. I was able put washers in to allow for more camber correction. I'll look at this tomorrow and let you know. Cost me 4 dollars in washers and the camber was dead on after.
Did you vinyl wrap the mirrors too? I was thinking of wrapping my chrome mirrors and grey lower trim in white. I figured a pure white wrap would match the Jeep white pretty well.
I removed the covers and plastidipped them white and then hit it with a glossifier layer. came out ok, far away it matches. i may do white carbon fiber later on the mirrors.
Raised her up a couple turns due to the horrible ride and handling. Some new pics. Wish I could keep her lower but she was really squirrelly over raised manholes and road imperfections. In these pics she's in park mode. So when I drive its in NRH or sport.
Thanks ...I noticed in one of his posts he stated his wheel was faulty and all you would need is the wheel and SRT harness.
I just sent him a message to confirm.
BTW I like how you choose to use your stock airbag cover instead of the SRT.
That's my plan. I really need to stop browsing around the forum because every time I take a must do mod off my list I put two back on it. :lol:
Hey keep me posted about that I want to do it but not willing to give up heated steering wheel. Let me know I'm pretty sure he said the charger srt wheel worked with heated wheel on the jeep but was that with the art harness or not? Etc just let me know what we'll need to get it done and have everything working when he gets back to you
I emailed the eBay seller and he didn't know.
Told me to check the forums.
UFOKILLERZ didn't respond yet.
I'm going to need to see this gap before I take the plunge.
The littlest imperfections can get to me so this may be a deal breaker.
Alternatively I can remove the SRT emblem and find something to put in its place.
charger srt wheel has working heated wheel feature. i have a spare grand cherokee srt wheel that i will probably have time to put on next week to reconfirm.
There have been members elsewhere that stated that the heat works fine when they retrofitted the grand cherokee srt wheel into their durangos.
apologies for not replying sooner. Busy playing with my Ram Rebel =)
so i took my grand cherokee srt wheel to try out today, connected just the heated part to my original harness, and woot heated steering stays on and wheel gets hot. proceed to remove my charger srt wheel, to put in gc srt wheel.
gc srt wheel in with gc srt harness, wtf no heated wheel.
swap in charger srt harness, and still wtf no heated wheel.
hook up charger srt wheel to harness, and wtf no heated wheel.
i am now stumped lol. left my gc srt wheel in there for now until i can sort this out. this is beyond weird! to confirm i believe the heat will work, but no idea why its not working for me!
Ufokillerz, When you take your wheel off the next time can you take a pic of the clockspring harness connector to clarify what you are changing/ swapping? Thanks!!

the clock spring is what all the plugs from the steering wheel plug into. The multiple pin black connector and the 2 pin white connector. I don't think i'll be taking it off, just going to use some tiny clamps to jumper it to test.
You have 3 connectors, a large black connector, a small black connector (horn) and a 2 wire white connector ( i believe its heat, and loose)
