So, I posted in the main section earlier but I thought I better move things in here.

Knocked a couple things off my list of upgrades today in adding the black gorilla lugs & lock, and changing out the silver grill inserts for the black Overland ones (top down method is PITA but it does work once you get the hang of it, your arms however will look like a gang of kittens jumped you in alley, beat you up, and stole your wallet) :D

Left to do:

35% tint on the front side windows
Stock backup camera
Maybe better tires before winter hits

Before:


After Lugs & Grille:

Thanks, Now if you would just finish that camera install I could copy you more! :thumbsup:

Nice. The black honeycomb looks so much better and you deserve a medal (as do I!) for doing the top down method. My arms were ruined afterwards.
Agreed, black grilles look more at home. And yeah, medals for everyone that conquered the top down method! I was just glad a lot of the marks went away before work the next day. :)

Yup of course, These are the same ones that 14JGCAltitudeWK2 used on his Altitude.

Ordered 4 sets of these "Gorilla Automotive 66147BDX - Pack of 4 (14mm x 1.50 Thread Size)" Link to Amazon

And 1 set of these "Gorilla Wheel Locks 96641BDX - Pack of 4 (14mm x 1.50 Thread Size)" Link to Summit

Only reason I ordered the locks from Summit was because I couldn't find them on Amazon.

Looks great, goums. I have a couple of dealerships looking for one for me in this color (brilliant silver as an option).

LOL I told my wife I would't do any "modding" on this one when we get it, but I think the black grill & lug nuts are all I would need to do...

We all tell our wives that.... mines has a full set of bash plates, plus a uneek front plate, UHF, 275/55/20 nittos, lifted, roof racks, full rubber mats, window tint, towbar.
Still waiting for a nudge bar and sidesteps that I like in black.

Could you elaborate on the "top down method"? Or have a how-to? I'd like to do this mod when I get mine next week.

Thanks

Any updates, goums?

Mine's a 2015 version of yours. I was fine with everything on mine until I saw your before & after pic - thanks ;)

Now I have a set of the black SRT honeycomb grills sitting in my house waiting to be installed and a set of black lugnuts ordered

Great positioning for the 2 photos, btw

Sorry for the lack of responses, been one hectic winter!
Quick update, after a mild winter here in MN I noticed after my most recent wash that my Gorilla rugs have rust spots on them... never rust my a$$. =/ Only seems to be the regular lugs, locking lugs are still good. Going to be contacting Gorilla to see what the deal is.

Besides that still loving this thing, just wish they could get the transmission sluggishness figured out. On the most recent update and it still lags whenever I need to move a little faster. Thank god for sport mode!
