Default Hello from France

Hello,


My name's Emeric, and I own a very nice Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 2018 3.6 pentastar JK Edition.

I live in France near Paris.


The JKU comes change since october my previous superb 2011 Durango HEMI 5.7 citadel with Gibson exhaust and air intake kit k & n, with LPG Prins system... Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl, black leather interior, and I was riding in it for almost four years... since I hesitated with the Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6v6 summit flexfuel, but my children did not have enough legroom on the rear places, and I flashed on this durango... And I LOVE it !!!

I am also a fan of "Renault Avantime", I'd got 4 of them... but I do still have only that miniature versions (almost the entire collection...).

In short, I like to ride differently (almost in France... because of course, Durango is not so different of your other vehicules in the States...) !

The Durango's large American SUV size is like "human" to ride in Europe, compared to the Cadillac Escalade or others I also like...

7 real seats, a large cargo... and a great comfort for a price that has nothing to do with the Touareg SUV and other European... I also liked the Volvo XC90, but as does no more usualy exist with regular motor in France, and I do not like riding with diesel....

I did make a motor reprogramming by a top guy which upgrade to 400hp and above earn about 500kg under the pedal (thus better acceleration and less consomation... by better management of advance).


Since I ride in JKU, I discover something really different, and it's very pleasant too !

I'm on changing my stock exhaust for Borla cat-back one : I ordered it on Wheelwell online shop (they are very nice during chatting with me).

I also bought a rigged dudge towing hitch, so that I have to modify rear licence place and my rear bumper. I'm looking for rear bumper applique...


Hope have fun here ; thanks !


Here is my JKU...









(I haven't got yet the borla exhaust : it will be installed in a few days...)
