  1. Thanks for the info FROGBOX, I see that you have a 2011 Journey. I know that in 2011 is when Dodge did the change over to the 3.6 and interior. Im not sure if they did a change to the mounting holes of the brake calipers to get ready for bigger brakes. It would be great to know for sure if they fit a 2010.
  2. Ok everyone so i did lots of research and running around this last weekend to figure out what I can do about bigger brakes and what I found out is. Bigger brakes may be possible with out any custome work but unless you have a friend in the shop at a dealership or a friend who has a Journey with the bigger brakes and you try it yourself to actually see if it ill fit. Cause there is no way to tell. The bigger rotors will fit if you have 19" wheels and the Calipers will also fit but the question is the mounting holes is unknown unless you try it yourself or have a friend at a Dealership and is willing to try this swap out for you. The Dealer told me that because I have a 2010 they wont allow me to return any parts that dont belong to a 2010 because its a "Custom" job. So I just resurfaced my 2010 rotors and installed Wagner Ceramic Pads. Im really hoping to get 3 to 5 years out of them. We do lots of driving so we will see. If anyone has the opportunity to physically try this swap please let me know if it actually works. Sorry everyone I was hoping to have this answer for everyone. Epic Fail!!
  3. I PlastiDiped my dash last night and it looks fantastic! Thanks for the idea.
  4. Totemus, Bubba is correct, I did mine just like he said and it came right off. You just have to keep working with it. It will come off. The bumper will flex but eventually it will release. I have a 2010 Journey and I changed my grill to a 2012 Grill but now im gonna take it off again cause I want to paint or PlastiDip it Black.
  5. I I love the black dash. How long did the PlastiDip last?
  6. Nice! Im doing mine tomorrow. Im gonna turn my rotors and install Wagner Ceramic Pads. I hope to get many years out of it.

    DAMN!! Sorry to hear that.
  9. Im not using 2013 DJ brakes. I just called the dealer to find out if 2013 parts will fit my 2010. It will fit so now I want to get aftermarket brakes that belong to a 2013 DJ and use them on my 2010. but since I put up this forum about bigger brakes earlier today I got rear ended and now I have to deal with getting that repaired first. This really sucks.

    Hit and Run

    The guy hit me and then drove away. I followed him and he finally stoped in a school parking lot. He said he didnt want to stop with out having his interpreter with him. I waited 2 hours for the police to show up. Then found out the guy didnt have a license or insurance. Ive only had my Journey for about 2 months. Sucks cause now im gonna be with out it for who knows how long till it gets fixed.

  12. Hello everyone, I have a 2010 Journey SXT AWD and as we all know the brakes suck. Ive been doing some research into putting bigger and better brakes on it. Ive found that I can go much better but not bigger. I was ok with that for a few days until it started bothering me again. I know that Dodge started putting bigger brakes on the Journeys so I called my local Dodge dealership and I asked them if the bigger brakes from the 2013 Journey will fit right on my 2010 with out any custome modifications and he looked it up and told me that the bigger brakes from 2013 Journey will absolutly fit on my 2010 Journey with out any custome modifications so im very excited and I will be doing this in the next few weeks (using aftermarket parts cause there better). Im planning on changing the rotors, calipers and pads. But I want to find out if anyone has already done this and were you sucessful and how do you like it.

    Welcome, There's lots to see and read here. What are you wanting/planning on doing to your Journey?
  14. If your worried about warranty issues then use a K&N and when you go into the dealer for service then swap it out for the paper one and they wont even know. K&N are the best filters you can get.
  15. No problem I hope it all works out for you. Take a pic when you have your Journey loaded up and post it. I would love to see it.
  16. If you have front wheel drive I can understand getting winter tires but if you have AWD why do you need winter tires?
  17. Just get a nice Garmin and use that. Its a much better GPS than the OEM one. The Garmin Nuvi 3597 is a fantastic GPS. You can even sync it with your smart phone and you can use your voice to tell it where you want to go. Ive had built in GPS in other cars and never used it. I much prefer my Garmin Nuvi.
