The wife surprised me today when she said she was thinking about trading her Wrangler in for a new SHO. Local dealer has a non-PP black one for what seems like a great deal. After all incentives it would be about 37,300 before trade. Only problem about her getting one is I might want to get one also after I get to see all the nice creature comforts I've been missing out on with the PI since I've never been in a real SHO haha.

The real question is...... is she gonna want it tuned lol!

I think she wouldn't mind getting it tuned once the warranty is almost up.

5ohSHO · March 29, 2018, 02:00:41 AM

Well...... she got it. Don't have any picks yet, but I'm super surprised at how nice a real SHO is.

AS I Drive the PI in Winter and On Business Trips: Like Bringing an AXE to a knife Fight
AND the SHO During the Summer and Drag Strips: Like Bringing A Scalpel to the Same...
However You Get WAY more Respect Driving The PI: "Get out of my way you Slowpoke"

Good sale...

What's the chances a 9.5" wheel with 275/40 could fit in the front?

Looking at this...
http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=245&aspect=45&diameter=20&wheelwidth=8&offset=39&width2=275&aspect2=40&wheel_size=20&wheel_width=9-5&offset2=40

makes me think there's a chance. The extra width is fairly split between inside and out.

Did you ever go forward with this? Thanks for the link as well. I had not seen that before..

Taking the kids to the movies and we are cruising at 60Mph... the guy in front me locks up his brakes hard for no reason... quick judgement call was that I wasn't going to be able to stop in time without plowing into him... had to jump into the right lane which had a car in it... punched it and twitched over the right lane hoping to God the guy in that lane would hit his brakes...

Ended up clipping his front fender.. pulled over into the shoulder... it was just some paint transfer on my car by the rear tire well and he had a small golf ball sized dent.. he either didn't have insurance or didn't want to deal with it... so he told me just to have a good day and was surprised it wasn't was a worse accident... my daughter slept through it and my son just looked up asked why we were stopping...

Keep safe out there.. never know when stupid crap might happen...
