THAT IS RETARDED. But here ya' go. Knock yourself out. 2015 Grand Cherokee Limited, 5.7 V-8 Towing Package. Remember the HEMI Grand Cherokee's have larger calipers. So don't waste your time eyeballing a V-6. Which 95% of the Limited's are.

You are talking to a guy that has the even larger Brembo's, yes, I'm aware.

Very fine looking Jeep there on the firearms forum.

Jeeps are insane, I bought my Lincoln because it was many thousands less than the comparable next Grand Cherokee I wanted. Just nuts.

Well...

I bought a P227 last week. It appears to be well made. Made in the USA. I had planned to go shoot it today, in fact, but I had to work...

I’ll let you know how well it performs when I get a chance.


So...back to the topic: which was guns, wasn't it?

My new Sig P227 works great. First hundred rounds with flawless operation.

Very accurate. Very modest recoil. I credit the shape of the grip. The laser/light combo on the front adds a few ounces. Perhaps that helped, too.

I'm impressed with the gun. I got it for $799. It's well made and shoots great.

Finally had time to go to my dealer and take a couple pics of the brakes on the 2015 Grand Cherokee (it's a Summit, but the brakes should be the same) with the 5.7L. It has the ridge at the top of the rotor (and looks like it will need brakes soon, ewwww!):

A ridge? Good God, that looks like it was cut on a lathe that someone forgot to put an insert in the tool!

Overkill, what is Chrysler using as friction material? Pebbles glued to a backing plate?

I think this is the outfit that faced those rotors. (Start video at 0:45).

What "faced" those rotors is messed up brake pads.

I THINK those might be the original brakes....

Obviously the Canadian winter has done a number on them. I AM going to tease the owner about them though, LOL

That's what our weather does to brakes, LOL!

But it DOES have the ridge on the top of the rotor which we were discussing earlier. So there is definitely a small part of the top of the rotor that is outside the swept area of the pad as per our earlier discussion. Based on the appearance of yours, that may take a much, MUCH longer time to form.
