  1. Yes.. wanted something different. It does look if not better than the blacktop. Had it done through dodge dealership when I first bought it, thus covered by warranty.
  2. It's a third row version. Maybe its the angle when I took the picture. In person it does look slightly higher at the back. Maybe it's due to the spring design? As it is a progressive spring. We rarely have the third row used anyways. But will see how it looks and handles with more loads. Thanks
  3. They should have it for 2015 DJs. I had purchased the original deflector/visor from my local dodge dealership and it was difficult to install even by their qualified technicians. I think it took them 1 hour or so to install. Had left the windows unused for 2 to 3days in order to let the original double sided tape sticks. However it could not hold long and slightly came down around 1mm - 2mm on all side. I took it off and change into 3M double sided tape and it still could not hold tight. I think it is a bad design. Not worth it in my opinion. Maybe there are other brands that are better out there. But non are available from where I live. Happy hunting!
  4. It's from google buddy.. I already have the tips, an Akrapovic dual system. Had put a custom order of the diffuser. Once that is done I will post pix. Next stop will be the custom make exhaust. Had attached a glimpse of the diffuser. Well sort of.. lolz..
  5. Sweet setup! Am also running HID projector lights and will never go back. Am sure LEDs are cheaper, is it brighter? Does anyone have a comparison? My fogs are JW speaker.
  6. Hi guys.. this is the update. Firstly the front springs fit nicely without any issues. Not sure if I could recommend this for the 3.5/3.6L engine as logically it is heavier. The problem comes with the rear springs where the upper end of the original springs are slightly larger in diameter. The lower end fits but not the upper end. Due to the size differences, the upper end of the Eibach could not fit into the original spring seat/boot (not sure if the term is correct). Again, am not sure if the rear suspension are the same and applies to other DJ model. Wondering whom had tried H&R kits and face similar problem? The store owner told me there are two ways to fix the above. First by finding a spring seat/boot to fit into the upper strut mount (which I think is non existence) or to modify the upper end of the Eibach to fit. It was a call that I had to gamble. Since the diameter gap was minimal I did the latter and that, thankfully, did the job! What boggles me is why Eibach didn't just revise their design to fit the 2011+ models?!? In any case, I haven't had enough time to test it. But base on initial impression, it handles well when stopping and acceleration. Yes it is on a stiffer side yet absorb bumps and uneven surfaces quite nicely. I think this matter is subjective to only my opinion and may differ and debatable to others. The looks is also perfect! I will post some pix latter after downloading from my phone. Cheers!
  7. @dhh3: they are slightly stiffer and lowered the car around 30mm up to 40mm I think that's 1.0"-1.5" in inches? On net it mentioned it can be used for 2.0, 2.4, 2.7, 3.5 and 3.6 engine. Yet confused as most info comments tells me otherwise. Are there significant suspension changes from 2011 to 2014? Maybe someone with more experience can share this. As from my past experience Eibach Prokit are on the softer side as compared to H&R. Will install them today and see if there are any fitmen issues.
  8. This is work in progress. After searching everywhere on the net there isnt much available. Hence getting a custom rear diffuser to accompdate a double twin pipe for the DJ. Since it is a SUV I didnt want to be too different than the original dif yet a bit more sporty. Got some ideas I got from the C63 AMG in the attached pix. Please comments for something similar?
  9. I came across these springs at my local wheel shop. It is the Eibach Pro Kit for 2008-2011 CRD DJs. Had told the owner of the mix info regarding the fitmen issues. But he suggested to try it and if does not fit then am not obliged to pay them. Anyone in this forum that had ever tried those kit? My DJ is a 2014 SXT 2.4 FWD.
  10. Wow.. love how low it is. With the stock wheels it fills the wheel gap nicely. Which H&R your using? I didn't think they made one for '11 and up DJs?

    Thanks. Your ride isn't bad as well. Especially the combination of copperhead pearl and the Crossroad wheels! The stance is just perfect. The price of the headlight is kinda steep and including custom duties.. There are some drawbacks though, firstly the DRL is just too bright for oncoming traffic. I do not have the DRL function available from the headunit. Hence had to install a switch to manually turn them off during night use. The high beam is even more blinding than the DRL. Thumbs up if you like to blind people. Yet it does look nice. Hope it'll last. As for the rear fog lamp, I thought it came as standard? There are only three model sold here and all came standard. I always use them and with the smoked paint it does not blind that much. Forgot to mentioned, although not really seen clearly in the pix that he front fog lamp has been changed to JW speaker. It is not as bright as the HIDs I'm using, but bright enough to lit the road. It has good tint to match any good 5000K HIDs and its plug & play

    Hi you all.. Been a while since I visited this forum. Haven't taken the time to really chip in. In any case, I got my DJ 2 years ago in '14. Not much have been done other than the JCUV headlight, HID conversion and change all bulb to LED. I did manage to install K&N Apollo with custom piping. Other than that it is still stock. For this year, will aim for a custom exhaust. And hopefully to find a good 20"-22" shoes for the DJ. Finding a good 5x127 wheels is like finding a needle in a haystack. Nothing is commercially available without changing wheels/suspension components. Will keep searching! Cheers!
