dhh3 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) I did something last week that I have never done before. I have always bought cars from Dealer Inventory. I have never ordered a car in my life. For those who may remember, I purchased my DJ off of the lot, solely for the color: Copperhead Pearl. 2 years ago, I was shopping for a Cherokee Trailhawk, but I was taken back by the color of the DJ, and purchased it instead. The thought of a Cherokee Trailhawk has haunted me for two years. So, I went online and built one in Mango Tango, and was prequalified to purchase by Chrysler Capital. My Salesman from my Dealer called me last Saturday. He could see what I had built, and made an appointment for me to come in Monday. He found 2. One was very close to my build; the other not so much. The one that was close had two things that I didn't check off: Technology Group, Black Wheels, and 2 things were missing: Remote CD player (The new 8.4s do not come with a CD Player) and the Cargo Cover. The CD player would be located in the Console and I can always purchase a Cargo Cover. The Salesman tried to order my build from the factory, but Mango Tango is no longer a paint option. He made me a deal that I could not refuse and I got 0% financing to boot. Here she is: Radio uses Apple Apps and Siri, so I have a lot to learn. It has been a good two year ride here, but I am off to the Jeep Cherokee Forum.

dhh3 Posted August 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) The Cherokee Forum I found is jeepcherokeeclub.com, based in Toronto. Is this the one you are on? It is for 2014 - 2016 Cherokees. I'll stick around for a while and add input if needed! Edited August 27, 2016 by dhh3 rolly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as you know that is the one but there are a few others also to pick up fixes/mods etc. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted August 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 The sticker on this was over $45,000, so I don't think that I'll be using it as an off road Wrangler anytime soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted September 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Boy, the guys over there are nuts. They all think that they are driving a Wrangler! My TH does have a 2-speed transfer case and a locker rear diff. So, apparently it is a real Jeep! LOL. A Jeep built on an Alfa Chassis! What is this world coming to? mfeel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Dave have you watched the youtube video of a Trailhawk and a Wrangler doing serious offroad? It's posted over there and it does exactly the same trail as the Wrangler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman425 Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Dave - I'm not on here as much as I used to be, and just saw that you traded your DJ for a Cherokee. Nice looking ride indeed! We sold one Trailhawk in that color and it looks really cool. Enjoy it in good health! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medabum Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Dhh3, Like most have said, thank you for your all your work. Noticed you have been a jeep/dodge guy for a while now and I must say I've fallen into the same realm. I Look forward to seeing you somewhere, sometime.
