I love how you made reference to the 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9. Like you said very few people know about it and it was pretty much like the og “SRT” Jeep as it inspired the later generations.

I have a 98 SS s10 I bought new in high school. There were only 4 to choose from in the whole state of MI. Still have it. The only year SS with that front end. Roll pan, manual windows and locks, split bench and solid rear window. I also have the anti hop shock in the rear. These also had a quicker steering ratio gear box. Bone stock at Milan MI went 15.2. There were a few R/Ts and two brothers with SS/T's in my area. We would always look for eachother when we were out driving around just to catch a light. Fun times

I wish they made a 454 in the ext cab, I did test drive it that day! I’m still married to her, nowadays she would tell me absolutely not, her telling me it’s up to you stuck with me till this day, I think because she also liked it, but my son would have to sit on her lap, we didn’t have enough money to buy a second car back then, now I own 6, 23 Colorado TB, 2006 HHR SS, 2008 C6 Z06 Vette, 02 Silverado ext cab I bought new, new Corolla, and her new Toyota Highlander!
