  1. Looks perfect! Makes me wish I had kept the ones off my Jeep.... they look just like the Rough Country ones I had purchased from JustJeeps ($89.95cdn/pr)
  2. Looks good, what kind of paint did you use? Also, how did you prep the rims before paint? (Info will help others looking to do the same) Cheers, Steve
  3. Agreed, why I'm never here anymore either, extremely slow and difficult to use on mobile.
  4. According to the specs of those wheels, they should fit, and no, they won't look like donks, they're only 1" larger in diameter than the factory 19's, should look great.
  5. What's this 'engineering menu' you soeak of, and what can you do with it?
  6. Funny, our cut-off date was May 18th, and it continued to work until this afternoon, I guess I'm not getting it free for the weekend. As far as the sound quality of Sirius, I have to agree that it's not great, maybe on par with some FM stations, but compared to say, my ipod, or even streaming Stingray, it's pretty obvious the sound quality difference.
  7. I think I'm just going to get a better data plan for my phone so I can stream Stingray and TuneIn Radio. Heck, if I miss Sirius, I could just use their app, but why pay them, when there's other, probably better solutions.
  8. So, I just called Sirius Canada, silenze is right, need a separate subscription for each radio, damn. But I was offered the service for basically $10/month cdn, which is much better than $15.99/mo, but has to be paid in full up front. They also offered me the free Onyx home kit, but would also be an additional $9.99/mo. I don't need satellite radio that bad, but regular radio here in Ottawa is absolutely terrible. I dearly.miss Xfm!
  9. So, our free trial period is about to expire, and we've recieved an offer in the mail with a discount on a one year subscription. Upon browsing the Sirius Canada website, if you click on the 'at home' option, they're offering a free Onyx home kit with a one year subscription. My question is, if I choose this option, can I also use the same subscription in the car, for the same price? I'm assuming it's similar to satellite TV, with multiple receivers on one account. I guesss I'll find out later, as I'm planning on calling, but looking for other's experiences.
  10. For some reason these really appeal to me, probably because they look like Rubicon wheels. (Price doesn't hurt either at $150cdn/wheel.
  11. ^I'm contemplating getting rid of my 19's and just going with a 17 with a similar tire, to avoid buying winter specific tires.
  12. I came into the Journey, from a 4 door 2011 Jeep Jk, 33 inch tires and a leveling lift. I could get 15l/100km hwy, and averaged around 19l/100km around town. If you're willing to go down to a 17" rim on the Journey, which you'll have to if you want aggressive tires, there are a few options. Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 $160cdn/tire, and winter rated. http://www.quattrotires.com/tires/geolandar-at-g015/168713/
  13. I like it too, please tell me it is not just a 'one off'
  14. Welcome! My in-laws are also from the south shore and drive a 2010 DJ.
  15. Dave, I don't believe any Journey's have the red R/T button, but pretty sure they're on most of the SRT Charger/Challenger/Cherokee models.
  16. Welcome back, I hope this time around you have better luck. We bought a '15 R/T before Christmas and love it!
  17. Agreed, I found the driver's side difficult as well, but hey, at least the whole housing doesn't need to be removed like some other cars!
  18. That's insane that they've had your Journey for two weeks, just to get the trailer lights to work. Perhaps something was missed on the assembly line? I would be extremely unhappy if I had just purchased a brand new car, and it had to go back to the dealer for two weeks, let alone more than one day!
  19. No problem, let us know what you come up with! Cheers.
  20. If you need tire chains, you'd probably be better off contacting either retail outlets, or manufacturers themselves to see what will work best for the Journey. The question has been brought up before, and as far as I am aware, no one had any experience, or real need to use them. I just did a quick Google search for 'modern tire chains', and there's plenty of options out there that should work.
  21. So, what I did was.... Purchased brackets off Ebay, meant to allow you to install Ridgid Industries Dually fog lights in a Jeep jk bumper. Seeing as the foglights are the same over several models, I found some nice clear pictures of the backside of the Journey's foglights on, I believe Paul's travel pictures (?), and managed to confirm they are the same. Now, I had four of these lights sitting in my garage, they were meant to go on my Jeep, that we traded in for the Journey, and I didn't want them to go to waste. I had already tried making a license plate bracket, but they stuck out like a sore thumb. They lights I have are not Rigid Dually's, but a similar knock-off from Ebay that I got a set of four for cheap, and since the mounting brackets are different, I found a knock-off bracket on Ebay that looked like it would work. (Rigid's mounting brackets are low on the light, while my light's brackets are in the middle.) Upon arrival, I test fit my lights to the brackets, but they didn't fit, as the opening was a tad to small, but nothing a few minutes with a file couldn't fix. Once the brackets were filed down, lights fit into the brackets perfectly, and I compared them to another set of factory fogs I had, and the mounting depth also looked right. First step was to pull back the fender liners, I recommend, and glad I did, to start on the driver's side, room is at a premium with the battery box being right there. It was tough getting the bolts out, especially the top one closest to the inside of the car, but finally got them out. I decided to only use two bolts, the bottom two, when I put the new lights in, and figured, my Jeep fogs were only held in by two bolts , so why not. Once I got them in, I cut off the factory plugs, and connected the new lights to the existing fog harness, and voila, done!
