This is where I plan on keeping all my info up to date for my new (to me) 2014 Summit that I just picked up on Friday. White with dark brown interior.

It's currently at the paint shop now, painting all lower plastic/chrome, door handle/mirrors, roof rack white to match. All grilles, fogs, window trim, rear skid plate gloss black.

Also being de-badged except for black JEEP badge on rear hatch.

On order waiting to be shipped:
- 22x10 WK1 Gloss black replicas
- 285/45/22 Toyo Proxes STII
- SRT tail lights

Will take some pics when it comes back from the paint shop, then it will go into the shop to have wheels mounted and balanced, as well as front windows tinted to match the rear windows.

Here are some pics of my ride

I will follow up with body shop but I believe they are sanding all the chrome, then prime and paint.

Nice looking Summit! I did some similar things and had my lower skirts paint matched white. That alone was a HUGE improvement in looks, but after realizing how much stuff needed to be changed or painted to get the look of a stock High Altitude, I decided it would just be easier to buy the High Altitude lol. In other words, I took the easy way out haha. Don't forget to find yourself a set of the black SRT headlights to match everything else!
Keep us up to date with pics on your build!

Thanks
Yeah it's quite a bit of stuff but I found a killer deal on the Summit and couldn't pass it up. Plus I'm getting to customize it exactly how I want which is always more fun!

Here are some pictures from the shop. It should be done tomorrow! My wheels came in Tuesday and my Toyo Proxy STII should be here today. I should have them on by mid-week next week at the latest.

On a side note, if anyone is looking for Factory Reproduction WK1 replicas, I bought mine from Jeep Parts, Jeep Accessories for Wrangler, CJ, Cherokee - Quadratec. I ordered on Saturday and I had them by Tuesday! And they have great prices and FREE SHIPPING!

She's supposed to be finished today and I will be picking her up tomorrow :eek: Pics will follow shortly after.

SRT tail lamps should be here early next week and I'm going to hopefully get her in the shop Thursday to install wheels and tires. After that it will off to the tint shop to get the front two windows done.

So I finally got the Jeep back from paint today! Check it out, I think it turned out great! We had some bad weather yesterday so I got these photos in before that.

Next stage is to get the new wheels put on, hopefully some time this week!

I'm with everyone else,that's definitely gonna be one hell of a sweet ride,looks like you just decided to hit it all in one.Very cool!!!Agree with others,that trim looks great.Cant wait to see the finished product.Running those 22's,I will be really interested in your opinion(as will many others),combined with your choice of tires,about 6 months down the line,how the ride quality is as there seems to be mixed opinions.I have just switched to a set of SRT wheels/tires with help and input from the guys here,having a V6,I do notice a difference,(was given a heads up on that by the guys on this forum),but really like the direction your going.
Congratulations on your purchase AND all your upgrades,it's definitely going to stretch some neck muscles when your driving down the road.And personally,my two fave colors are the white JGC's and the Green,so am biased anyway :)

So it's been a crazy week, but I got the new tail lamps on, the wheels and tires on and the front windows tinted! We had some bad weather so it's not the cleanest but I'll get it cleaned up and take some better pics this weekend.

I've driven about 80-100 miles on the new wheels/tires since getting them on yesterday. So far the ride is pretty smooth and it handles the speed bumps well. I'll keep you posted on the ride feel with the 22s.

Windows were tinted last night, so none of these pics show the front windows tinted yet.

Embrace the chrome...thats awesome! ;) That's kind of what I did when I had my Summit. I determined it was going to be just too much work and money changing everything out so I left it. Had I kept that Summit I think I would have eventually got chrome replica SRT wheels and went a similar route you did. Nice ride height btw!

So I finally had some time and sunshine, so I washed this bad boy and got some nice shots of it! Not quite sure what I'm going to do next, but I did a lot in a little amount of time so I'm going to enjoy it for a while!
