Hi everyone. It's good to be part of a new family. The "Big" in my nickname refers to my 6'6" height and my Gandolfini figure. I bought a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited running a V8 Hemi years ago, stuck with it through thick and through thin, modded it like a madman, enjoyed it in every aspect, and finally traded it in this week -after a 6 month search- for a more comfortable ride. I took delivery of my new Lariat V8 502A on an early Saturday morning, headed straight to the vinyl shop around noon and killed all external chrome until I felt it was driveable.

I wanted a King Ranch so bad just for the Java interior, but after visiting 14 dealers (the farthest being a 3-hr drive) I finally gave up on finding one that comes without a moonroof. (I don't do moonroofs) And ordering one online meant no employee pricing and/or additional incentives. Finding this Lariat 502A without a moonroof was like finding Nemo, so I had to settle for all the chrome and the unwanted 18" wheels that came with it. One of the uncommon features (?) on my rig is the 6.25" (157) bed, which is starting to give me a headache in my underground condo parking lot. Anyway, I have been trying to Roush my new truck at my own pace but it seems like buying a couple parts at a time is deemed unacceptable by the people at Roush Performance (grill, badges, flares, exhausts...etc are never sold individually) so it looks like I'll be going with my own mods until I build a more capable sleeper.

 

Welcome to the forum, congrats & good luck with the new ride..
