True Blue Cherokee thread

Sky slider is coming in 2014 for the Trailhawk I believe.

Love this photo of the Cherokee. It looks good in the cold, especially in the True Blue color.

Very nice, both the Cherokee and photos, congratulations!

first photo is really nice...minus the temp plate

I know. Should remove the free advertising.

Awesome pics! Would love to have some snow over here for a bit.

Nice snowy pics! Thanks for posting

spicedham, your pics are fabulous and the jeep looks amazing!! Especially like the last two pics, they are great.

sutherlandjason, lol at the GFs comments. Did you tell her you were taking pics of your other girlfriend?

True Blues -
My on-order Cherokee is exactly the same as xmike5000's, save the sunroof. Can't wait to have it built and delivered. I'm SORT OF wishing I'd gotten the ADII system, just for the extra inch lift, but the blue Limiteds look great either way. Xmike - have you been happy thus far?

I love it, just drove it in the snow last night/ today for the first time, and handled great. Got 30mpg avg. on a drive from DC -NYC-DC last week (admittedly drove 60 mpg avg since was following a family member in another car which shimmied over 65). The Vesuvius interior is unique and probably my favorite thing, along with the kick-a#* 9-speaker and subwoofer. Here is a photo from today... (and best of luck!) http://jeepcherokeeclub.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5897&d=1390431240

Love the pics guys. I was going to go with true blue for my order but went with the black instead. I saw the true blue in the sunlight and does anyone feel that it gives off a hint of purple at all?? It's definitely not true "navy" blue in my opinion

Can you explain what you mean by the extra inch lift? According to my spec chart, all Cherokees have a 9.7'' ground clearance and an optional 8.7". This confuses me

http://www.cars.com/jeep/cherokee/2014/standard-equipment/

Go down to "Ground clearance" and you'll see what I mean

Trail hawks and ADII non-trailhawks have upgraded off road suspension that raises the Cherokee 1 inch. The trail Hawk is additionally raised by bigger tires

So then is that spec chart incorrect? It shows the 9.7 being standard (solid circle mark) on the sport lattitude and limited

I had no idea about this

What's so great about the "ADII"?

No, that is not correct
4 Low and off road suspension

Per the jeep website:
All FWD are listed at 5.7"
4x4 are listed at 7.9" for the Sport (ADI) and 8.2" for the Latitude/Limited (ADI or ADII?)
Trailhawk is 8.8"

I dont know what they are listing there as far as ADI or ADII, the Sport only comes in ADI so that makes me think 7.9" is for all ADI...but the extra .3" for the other two isnt close to the 1" the off road suspension is supposed to give...so not sure if that 8.2" is ADII or not, but it would make sense that it is ADII since its .6" shorter than the TH...hmm

Yup, that chart is incorrect. Check out the detailed spec chart on the Jeep website. Standard ground clearance on the TH is 8.8", and 8.2" on the limited. The ADII system package adds an off-road 1-inch suspension lift, which adds (approx) 1 inch of clearance. All the 4x4 models come with ADI, which is essentially an all-wheel drive mode with variations for various terrain types. The ADII system includes a 4-low mode (for increased torque in all four wheels during movement at very slow speeds), and a neutal mode (which makes all 4 wheels neutral, allowing for flat towing).

I'm sure someone with more technical background could describe the differences in more detail, but that's the gist.
