Looks good, I had a 2008 Wrangler Unlimited, I traded it off, I couldnt keep it from running hot. It ran good on the blacktop but anytime I would go off road and ride the trails it would run hot. The local Dodge/Jeep dealer had it at the shops several times, replaced both the water pump and radiator and it still ran hot, they never could figure out why, so it got traded off, turned it into a new Dodge Hemi 4x4. I liked the looks of it but will never own another, it left a bad taste in my mouth. Probably just got a lemon, but when the dealer couldnt even find out what was wrong with it, it had to go.

Wow! Your local dealer must not be able to read! The '07's had some issues, usually fixed easily with the addition of a transmission cooler and a different fan blade. By '08 those issues were fixed. For the serious trail riders and rock crawlers in hot area's, hood lovers are a favored addition. Mine has had zero issues, I just keep breaking crap. The more capable I make it, the more difficult obstacles I attempt. You know, those "Hey, hold my beer and watch this.." moments. Or since I don't drink, its the "Hang on, I think I can make it..." moments. The last one of those cost me a front ring and pinion, and an axle shaft. So when I rebuilt I went to chrome-molly shafts and made my axle u-joints my weak link. Much cheaper to replace than 5:13 gears.
They never changed the fan blade but did install a different tranny cooler, it didnt help either. The dealership was baffled, they hooked it to there diagnostic machiene and kept it for several days and could never find out what the problem was. It ran fine as long as you kept it on the blacktop and drove around town, but take it off road at idle speeds and she was overheating and making all kinds of noise.
Here was mine before I traded it in. I really liked it, just didnt like the problems that it had. It wasnt nearly as nice as yours, it was all stock.

Just a mock up to see what I want and where it may go, but you get the idea
2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4. Yes, as you may have guessed I am a HUGE lifelong SF 49ers fan. It's fully bolted and is currently the worlds first and only Caliber with a non-static suspension (hydraulic). The backs are done, however I'm still working on the fronts. Will also have an old school sound system complete with all Lanzar Opti drive amps (blue/grey versions) and crossovers. Right now 4 12" Fosgates are going in it, but over the winter I may do 8 12's, not 100% sure yet. Everything aftermarket electrical has a standalone system, and if anybody with a can-bus system knows, that's a lot fewer headaches. Everything on this car was done by myself in my garage. It's taken me 2-2.5 years, but well worth it. Oh yeah, did I mention it runs 12's in the 1/4 mile...
Screen name is relevant again!
