Our brand spankin' new Altitude arrived Monday of this week (12/1). We have already made a few modifications from what it was like stock and we plan on making more in the near future!


Current modifications:
-Husky Liners (they are amazing if you live in a place like Nebraska where the weather is awesome)
-Gorilla Black Lug Nuts (from Speedlogix)
-Complete De-badge (except for the rear jeep emblem)


The few things we have lined up already are:
-Window tint (front two, windshield, and probably tint over the existing smoked rear glass)
-Rear taillight tint (Lamin-X taillight tint in Smoked)
-Swap out the stock grill for the black honeycomb grill


Mods for the future:
-Chrome window trim will be changing to black
-Painting over champagne trim in the interior
-Black Chrome Dual Exhaust Tips
-K&N Cold Air Intake
-Illuminated Door Sill Guards

Anyway, here she is fresh off the train

And the new grill is in! We ran into an issue where some of the plastic was actually melted on the old grill so we had to completely remove it.

I take it you had to disconnect the fog light connectors before pulling it all the way off?

I was going to try the top-down method , but am a little leery since some of your grill inserts were "melted".

Was it easy to get everything aligned to re-install the bumper?

Any other tips while it's fresh in your memory?

Thanks again!

I tried the top method 2 times. Some of my clips points were melted from the factory. So it made it hard to be able to release them. Everything lined up same as before I removed the fascia. Nothing not worthy I can think of. Just don't get in a hurry. Lol

I just twisted the bulb out of the housing instead of unplugging. Either way would work fine

15% on front sides. 35% full windshield. And possibly 35% or 15% over the rest of rear that are already tinted
