There's a few of us here that peruse the forums daily. As I read this thread Midwest Members I realize that there are a lot of us in Chicagoland.

Let's meet ! The Subaru guys do it (and I know some of you)...every car club does it. I have already met fellow Grand Cherokee owners on the board. There seems to be a new Jeep club sprouting every few weeks, and even though I belong to one FOX RIVER JEEP CLUB , those folks run primarily Wranglers. They are GREAT guys.

Belonging to a Wrangler club is a major limiting factor as it restricts the amount of cautious, calculated fun that we could have with our vehicles. I've run with them at Badlands and I reassure you that the Grand Cherokee can hang out with the Wranglers on 95% of the terrain. Though 95% of us do not want the 95% of the scratches a car would incur driving through the trails there (thru the forest - sand dunes are OK).


Therefore, I propose to all of us, Chicagoland Jeep Grand Cherokee owners, that we hold that our own regular meets, discuss ideas, exchange car parts, educate each other on DIY projects, help each other and so on. I know that the vehicle platform (Grand Cherokee) does not lend itself to extensive mods (unlike a Wrangler or a Subaru) and the type of owner (likely middle aged professional) tends to be busy with family and work. But if you waste 2-3 hours a week on the forums, you surely can come to a 2-3 hour meet once every couple of weeks. And, as I found out over the years, car meets are just another venue for bringing like minded people together, for other hobbies and/or interest - even though you'll never wrench a single bolt on your car.

I would like to see what interest there is among the forum members for having such a meet. Most car clubs pick a weekday evening and meet for 2-3 hours at a restaurant/pub/bar of choice. I know Subaru NASIOC (Impreza) guys do it Thursdays in Schaumburg. When I ran the Subaru Legacy GT meetings, we would rotate locations between Downers Grove and Schaumburg in order to accommodate everyone.

So ...who's interested? My goal is to have a first such meet before the end of the year - 2 months away.

For all those who were interested in WeatherTech products. I am waiting on the final word but I spoke yesterday with my source, having already done some ground work via e-mail.

Basically it will boil down to a static discount (probably ~15% as opposed to a group buy that is size-dependent for even deeper discounts) and in order to be more cost effective, PAYPAL or CASH and in-store pickup at their location in Villa Park, IL would be the way to go. I am sure he can arrange shipping and other forms of payment but...hat bumps up the price.

Well my family will be going out of town Next Friday for a whole week. If anyone wants to get a bite to eat or something next Saturday I'm game. That is unless most of you will be busy with Thanksgiving weekend stuff. Not me I'll be doing absolutely nothing but take care of my dogs.

I know this isn't the right thread to be asking this but has anyone ever heard of the volant cold air intake for the 5.7L hemi. I'm looking at getting the intake and this one looks pretty promising and has great reviews, just figured I'd ask you guys for your opinion.
