One of the best looking overlands I've seen!
I had a black 2012 and just got a silver 2015, you just made me regret the color choice for a second ;)

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I spent alot of time on here figuring things out. It's great to have a resource with like minded peeps.

I really set out to create a better, bigger Altitude with more features and value-ads. The Overland is far superior on interior and some exterior benefits.

I'll be happy to upload additional pics or answer any questions if anyone is interested. I have good resources on aftermarket and Texas dealerships for deals.

So how is that lift kit working out with your Quadra Lift air suspension that comes stock on the Overland? Cause I thought they are NOT compatible.

And most definitely you are the first Overland owner to murder his nice factory painted wheel fender arches.

Don't get me wrong - it looks fantastic but Overland owners wouldn't do that to their cars. I could see owners of Limited JGCs with Luxury pkg but not the ORA-2 doing that to their plastic-rimmed fenders.

Well as another Overland owner, I absolutely LOVE what digitalshaw has done!

He wanted bigger and more aggressive fenders... there is NOTHING wrong with that. And not all Overlands come with the Air Suspension system. And how about YOU not try and speak for what ALL OTHER Overland Owners about what we would or wouldn't do.

I think you've been influenced by the Dark Side. :slapfight:

I for one think that this black jeep looks great. Overland or not.

And I do own an overland, a 2015 that will get the rocky road winch bumper in a few days and eventually bigger tires and fender flares, now if I could only find a 1"- 2" lift for my air suspension it would make the car look awesome.............

I have a '14 Overland and I think Darth Vader looks great. It's amazing what you can do with these to suit your tastes. To each his own. For example, I have modified my Billet Silver Overland to look like an SRT. Factory SRT hood, real Spider Monkeys from a '12, Corsa SRT mufflers mated to a custom x pipe exhaust. I've plasti-dipped my grill and badges. Next is vinyl wrap for all chrome. My poor man's version of the SRT. Just as you can't lift the air suspension, I can't put stiffer springs on the Overland either. Whatever model it is, Vader looks awesome!

So, yes you can get the Overland without the QAS. I bought a 4 x 2 so I could add the lift. I really am not doing any off roading and live in flat North Texas.

On my build. I was going to get a Limited with Luxury 2 package 4 x 2. I found the Overland with nothing added to it and it was only like $600 more. I got all the extras of the Overland.

On the fender flares, they blow the doors off the factory flares. Why wouldn't an Overland owner want to make it a beast? That's what being a Jeep owner is all about.

On the tire/wheel set up
Wheels 18x9 XD811 Rockstar ii
tires 285/65r18 Nitto G2
+30 Offset
Had to do a bit of trimming on the inside.

Murdering it out
Replaced the door handles and piece on top of the rear bumper (Step Pad Surround) with Altitudes. Colored matched and painted everything else.

In the works:
Upgrade the exhaust to give the Vader growl with new pipes too
Illuminated Door Sill Guards
Some type of running boards
Maybe smoke the lights

FYI - Anyone interested in almost new 20" Chrome Overland wheels and tires - PM Me

I saw you driving on business 121 the other day. I was in a 2015 STI and awkwardly staring at how awesome your jeep looked. You might have noticed. Anyway, compliments on the lift/wheel/tire combo. That stance is perfect. Digging the whole look. Seeing yours convinced me I can't leave my ecodiesel stock any longer.
