Hopefully they'll have the Challenger out soon.
Plus we will presume you also tried the Grand Cherokee SRT8 to see if
you truly could get a patch with all 4 tires at once. I wouldn't want

Yea, I've been googling on that.

Haven't had the opportunity yet. But I will if they let me.
Heck, the local 4WD crowd thought I was nuts taking a new 93 ZJ
on the offroad trails. It's only plastic and metal, and most of
it pops right back on. :)

Re: Dodge Magnum SRT
I disagree. Putting OT in front is an open admission that one is
violating the charter of the newsgroup. This, to my thinking is worse
than someone who blunders in with something off topic out of ignorance.
