Default Finally got a Jeep

My wife and I have been looking for a while, just waiting for the right time and deal. Well, her 03 Explorer needed a few things, so we decided to trade it in and found an 08 SRT8 530. I know Hennessey overcharges and all that, but it's used, so we didn't pay for it

Here are a few pics:

I need to adjust the exhaust. I don't like how the tips stick out.

Good looking rig. Will it ever see the track?

Hell yeah. Gotta wait for it to cool down some though. It'll be a sad day b/c it's gonna destroy my TBSS in the quarter (13.75).

She gets on it

A friend texted me one day and said he heard me hauling *** out of the Walgreens up by the house in the TBSS. I told him I was at home, but my wife just went up there. LOL. Sure enough, it was her. I'm so proud!!

HAHA my wife usually drives like a grandma but she took my truck a few times when we were just dating (before boost) and said she wasn't even trying and smoked some kid at a green light. Made me laugh.



Time for a photoshoot with both them and cleaned up. Be really cool to have them both lined up at the track

let us know which is the better buy once you get some drive time in on the jeep. i'm curious whether you will like the TBSS or the SRT more. both trucks make my pants grow.

Will do. I can tell you right now that I'm hella glad we got the extended warranty on the TBSS.. It's paid for itself at least twice over due to BS repairs.

Nice Jeep. What all was done to it by Hennessey?
