The STARTECH stainless-steel sport exhaust system, available with one or two oval-shaped tailpipes depending on the type of engine, is the ideal complement to the STARTECH engine tuning. The exhaust system is available for all engine versions of Grand Cherokee. It optimizes power yield while at the same time producing a more powerful engine sound.

In addition to pushing the American SUV to extraordinary performance STARTECH increases its active safety in the areas of brakes and suspension.

The STARTECH high-performance brake system consists of 355-mm vented discs in front and back with six-piston aluminum fixed-calipers on the front axle and four-piston calipers in the rear. This system shortens braking distances considerably, further improves endurance and offers greater fading resistance. The generously dimensioned STARTECH brakes require the use of STARTECH Monostar III or IV 9Jx20 light-alloy wheels which also give the Grand Cherokee a more exclusive appearance, more agile handling and increased safety reserves.

The one-piece 20-inch Monostar III wheels in elegant disc design are available either with a silver polished or a chrome-design surface. The multi-piece Monostar III and the one-piece STARTECH Monostar IV wheels are fully polished. Tires in size 275/40 R 20 all around were found in tests to be optimal.

In 19-inch diameter STARTECH refines the Grand Cherokee with the new Monostar IV 8.5Jx19 light-alloy wheels. The one-piece or multi-piece wheels are mounted with tires in size 255/50 R 19. Yet another alternative are one-piece STARTECH Monostar III nine-hole wheels in size 8.5Jx18 an, available silver polished or with a chrome-design surface. The new Monostar IV wheel family is also available for the top-of-the-line Jeep in size 8.5Jx18 with 255/55 R 18 tires all around.

The STARTECH engineering team also did extensive development work designing custom suspension solutions for the Grand Cherokee. Customers can choose between a lowering kit with STARTECH sport springs and a complete STARTECH sport suspension. Both versions lower the body of the Jeep by about 30 millimeters (1-3/16 inches). The complete suspension also offers a somewhat firmer ride without compromising the characteristic ride comfort of the Grand Cherokee.

For owners of the American SUV who don't want to lower their vehicle STARTECH offers special shock absorbers with European setup.

The STARTECH experts also developed unique ways to customize the striking exterior of the Jeep: Innovative combinations of stainless steel and flexible plastics add exciting and functional highlights. The STARTECH design package is suitable for on-and off-road driving.

The face of the Grand Cherokee receives more customized appearance with the help of the STARTECH front guard. The highly polished STARTECH stainless-steel front guard is integrated into a deformable Pur-R-Rim part, which is mounted to the standard bumper and features two round conventional high-beams, which also can be ordered as xenon headlights. The STARTECH front guard has more than just visual appeal. A solid stainless-steel bar reinforces the lower part of the standard bumper; a solid underride protector prevents damage to the engine and oil pan during tough off-road excursions.

The sidesills of the five-door are refined with tough STARTECH running boards which facilitate entering and exiting the vehicle. The STARTECH boards feature integrated LEDs activated with the standard keyless-entry control of the central locking system or by opening the doors. This STARTECH development ensures a sure step, especially at night. STARTECH also offers white lateral turn signals.

The rear of the Grand Cherokee is refined with the STARTECH rear guard, made from a combination of stainless steel and plastic. It adds yet another visual highlight while protecting the rear bumper from parking damage.

Many owners of the American luxury off-road car want a more customized interior. The STARTECH offer in this area is extensive: Illuminated stainless-steel doorsills with STARTECH logo welcome front-seat occupants. High-quality velour floormats with STARTECH signet are among the individual options as is an ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel with airbag. Highly polished walnut burl wood trim together with precious-wood levers for automatic and reduction transmissions and parking brake further refine the appearance of the interior.

For the harmonious integration of a VDO Dayton MS 3000 or MS 5000 navigation system STARTECH offers a custom-tailored console for the dashboard of the Grand Cherokee. The GPS system can be expanded by STARTECH into a high-end multimedia system with TV, DVD player and game console. The system comprises LCD monitors integrated into the front headrests, which can display the DVD/TV or game console signal. The system's sound is reproduced over the standard stereo system or wireless headphones.In addition the STARTECH multimedia equipment for the Grand Cherokee can be equipped with a rearview camera which facilitates parking.

The in-house STARTECH upholstery shop fulfills further customization requests. With meticulous precision the upholsterers handcraft exclusive fully leather interiors from especially soft yet very durable mastik leather.
