and so should decent sales people!
was recently in a main dealership to pick up a few bits and was talking to a sales guy about the SRT8 (fancy one)
i explained that i needed a tow bar and the SRT8 centre exhausts were a problem - asked if Jeep could do anything - told NO!
then spent a bit of time online and low and behold found that in the USA Jeep/Mopar now sell a towbar inc exhaust mod for the SRT8 for about $800
why do UK dealers not know this?

had a few mods done to improve it
a) Edelbrock IAS performance shocks all round - what a difference to handling/cornering
b) uprated/upgraded front brake calipers (think this was factory done post 2001?) and ventilated discs
c) bit of an engine remap :-$ - now sub 7 seconds 0-60mph!
d) run on super unleaded - better performance and a slightly better mpg by about 2/4 mpg
e) next - probably a Borla or similar exhaust?
f) had the usual problems with the heater/blower connector melting - custom made replacement from the USA at about £9 delivered
g) front tweeters 'blew' (common problem) - got genuine updated/upgraded Mopar replacements and touch wood all is OK
h) all K and N filtration
reliability excellent, but Jeep dealer prices for silly little things are expensive to say the least!
