For 27k, no thanks. I wonder how well the drivetrain is going to hold up, heard they already have had problems. The biggest issue though is the reputation of the company, it's hard to find a good word about them.

great pics. I have been looking for this. Any chance of getting some shots of how things are mounted? What are you towing?
thanks

A couple of us have been looking and there are no 20" snows available that we have been able to find. I've tried Tire Rack and Discount Tire and there is nothing. It's a bit frustrating. To make matters worse, there are also no aftermarket 20" wheels that work and 18's and 19's won't clear the brakes. The only good news is that there hasn't been much snow here in Michigan this winter. It's a handful in slippery conditions with an inch or two of snow, but better than a rear drive with no snows.
 
If you find anything, please let us know. All of the tire stores keep telling me, "Maybe next year."

For most of JH's clientelle, price is irrelevent. JH is the first to bring a mod this extreme to market for the SRT-8, so he charges what he does.
 
There are people who will pay it (most likely rich) because they have the means and want the title of fastest SUV - now. It it blows up or breaks down, they aren't fazed much and JH gives them priority to fix it.

Nothing that 6-12 months in the shop wouldn't fix.

So I take it that Hennessey's reputation is still not the best after years of upfitting Viper's and other Mopar rides.
 
Such a tragedy as these tuners have the potential to really own the turf, when they work.

The aftermarket mod world for cars/trucks is risky and shady. Beware all who venture into it.
(and research before you invest to minimize the risk)

We live in the suburbs of NYC and get lots of Snow--EVERYONE assured me the JEEP would be GREAT in the snow and that we would NOT need SNOW tires--I emailed Jeep and they told me--that there are no other tires made for this --at this time--so--We had our first Nor'easter 2/14--ha ha--couldn't make it out of the parking spot --let alone the driveway--my subaru legacy GT 2.5--blew away---even without the clearance--my hubby --almost slid the jeep right into the subaru--then into the house--then we parked it til the next day---DO NOT drive it in the SNOW AND ICE--JEEP ENGINEERS--SALESMAN--I would've bought it anyway--but you should've been more forthcoming!!!....

Okay I'm replying to my own post...
 
I don't know exactly what the stereo shop is installing but this looks like it:
 
* Peripherals CHYAA 2005-Up Chrysler Add-An-Amp Interface
 
http://www.installationproducts.com/s.nl?it=A&id=5139 (looks like it is for sale here)
 
http://www.discountcarstereo.com/detail.aspx?ID=904 (not avail here, and also more expensive)
 
Description says: The CHYAA CAN interface is designed to add an aftermarket amplifier to the existing factory sound systems in the 2005-2006 Dodge Durango, Magnum, Charger, Ram, 300, and Jeep.
 
The new Peripheral network integration device simply plugs in to the back of the factory radio allowing control of the aftermarket amplifier. One connection of the included amplifier turn-on wire and consumers are ready to enjoy their music with the amplification they expect from a high-end sound system.
 
Seems straightforward enough... Took long enough (over a year) to get this out in the market!
