Hello all I finally bit the bullet and purchased all my Srt/Summit parts for my 2014 Overland. Now I will have the vehicle that I couldn't order last year. Pics soon to follow, all I can say is its pricey I was expecting to pay $4500 for the conversion but looks like it's gonna be around $5000 for just parts and $2000 for paint and installation. Here's what I'm installing front Srt Bumper Kit, rear summit bumper cover bought off eBay for $300 with a small scratch, summit mufflers and tips with brackets, srt rockers and flares and srt hood with all hardware, 1 srt daytime running light Left side off eBay for $100 and right side daytime running light had to buy new.

I'm hoping the harness is there for the srt daytime running lights and I can control them from the radio settings if not I will have the shop hard wire them. Sorry for quick right up and I will post pics of the invoice for part numbers and before and after pics within a few days as my parts are at the dealer.

<P>I had the same response to someone else doing a hood retrofit a while back and didn't go well. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.</P><P> </P><P>Reminded me of all those jealous WRX kids who were installing STI rear wings on their 2.0 sedans, completely oblivious to the fact that it was the brakes, the transmission and the engine that made the STI an icon.</P>

Well first off If I wanted a srt I would have bought one,money is not a issue but I hate the interior of the srt. Indigo blue is what I wanted and it's not offered in summit nor the srt. My truck priced out at 51k after employee discount and down payment I financed about 38k and I owe 28k as of last month. I considered getting a srt but there's no way I'm paying that much money for a truck and I hate the interior If it had blue and tan I would own one but I'm not trying to pretend its a srt by no means I'm just customizing it to my liking.

I also put a lot of the SRT8 stuff on my overland, I put the brakes, wheels, swaybar and hood.. I didn't do it because I couldn't get an SRT8, I did this because I like the body styling of the overland the best out of all the models, and I wanted to keep the 4x4 abilities/QL2/QD2/towpackage ... the SRT doesn't have this stuff and I like I said before, personally I don't like the summit or SRT nose and rear.

I was thinking the same thing at first Maxy but we got them working by wiring them to the drl of the headlight at least there's a easy way to get them working and I might have a buyer for my old hood,front bumper and recovery hooks so if all goes well and I sell the rest of my old stuff that's 2k start on some 22inch replicas.

Ok guys Jeep looks amazing :) but I'm missing some parts or should I say I have to exchange some parts. Fog light brackets on Srt are different than Summit/Overland/Laredo so I need those and Mopar sent me the exact same tow hitch that I already have so I need the Summit one once I get those parts pics of finished mod are inc.

I wanted the Indigo interior with white piping had to have it so Overland was my only choice hands down. I could not even special order a Srt with that interior so I figured it would be easier to change the bumpers and hood than the interior so I ordered the Overland.

On another note I did some nice mods to my 2007 Escalade Ext which I loved and got rid of for a Jeep so kudos to Chrysler they made a awesome suv.

Makes sense, while I love the interior of my SRT, I wish there were more color choices available with it, so definitely agree with you on that one.

We're almost there just need a few more parts so I'm running over town to get them so maybe tomorrow it will be done.
Looking good! Are the fender flares from the Summit/SRT a direct fit into the Overland? I know the Overland ones are attached to the fender with some clips, I am guessing the Summit/SRT ones use the same clips to attach?

Hey buddy did you ever have a chance to get a part number list together? Looking to do this conversion to my 15 Ecodiesel in the future. Ive got all the part numbers I neeed for the rear and sides just need the front. Your jeep looks awesome!

Pretty cool. The 4x4 ness of a Overland and the looks of an SRT. The Summit grill insets are a nice tough. I like it. You may get a few people in Camaros and BMWs want to have a go though.

Reminds me of a certain Johnny Cash song even though it's still all a '14.
