Thanks. Overland is a very nice rig. Love to get my hands on something with the air suspension someday. I've got a 2015 laredo based altitude. Love it as well. Put in the mopar running board side steps and some interior goodies. Looking to upgrade my headlights to the LEDs you got on the overland or on a SRT. What you thinking of doing?

It's a 2014 Overland 4x4 in Cashmere Pearlcoat. I've got a few plans for it that I hope to make reality pretty soon. I'm wanting to get all of the black plastics color matched to the body color, upgrade tires to a bigger All-Terrain (thinking a 275/55R20), and definitely LED Fog lights and interior lighting. I'm debating on painting or vinyl wrapping the plastics right now. I went the paint route on my last vehicle (2009 GMC Sierra in Pearl White) for all the plastics and it turned out pretty great, but vinyl wrapping seems to becoming even bigger nowadays.

By the way, post up some pictures of your rig as well! The easiest way I found to do it is by uploading pictures to Photobucket and copy the image link to your post.

Very Nice GC! The thing about vinyl wrapping i always question is the dullness in appearance. I can only base it on those ive seen and who knows if they were done right. And dont know much about it in general. Though i would like to black wrap my chrome window trim, saw a post on it. I also saw a post on upgrading fog lights to those on the 16srt, which are LED, ill post a link if i can find it again. Would love to do that.

I might have to steal your idea for tires. And love your rims btw. Always loved the 14-15 overland rim. Probably why i like mine too!

Here are some pics. I need a good one that brings out the blue in it.

Nice man! I really enjoy the looks of the Altitude packages. I was actually looking to find a white or silver Overland and black it out similar to yours. I even went ahead and bought 12 cans of plastidip (6 Black and 6 of the Glossifier) so I would be ready when I got it. The only problem was a lot of the ones I found were too far away to make a good deal on. I searched for about 2 months, before this one came up at the local dealership. The price was too good to walk away from and I really dig this Cashmere Pearlcoat with the Light Frost Interior especially after seeing it in person. I might still try it out for shits and gigs, but I think the color matched plastics with chrome would look better on this color than blacking it out.

i hear ya. I grabbed mine at the end of 2015 and there were only a few left in my area, actually had to do a dealer swap to get my color as my dealer only had black. previous car was black, wanted something different to change it up and something that may hide some of the dirt. It does "ok" hiding some of the dirt, not as well as silver would. i'm not sure how the black out would look with the Cashmere. i'd go with the color match. But seeing how you have the vinyl, you can always peel it off if you don't like it. i'm not of fan of black and gold, but that is me. It's why i also went with the altitude as it had silver trim around the shifter, center console and air vents. Call me picky, i know. The other trims have that bronze color trim. though i was seeing altitudes at the time with the same bronze trim in them, was confusing the hell out of me. It probably goes perfect with yours. matching inside and out!

Here is that link to the SRT LED Fog Lights - seems simple enough, especially for you, looks like you don't need anti-flicker modules.

Rhodyjeep14 I am also a RI resident with a 2014 black GC but I got the summit simply because of the upgraded system, I didn't want to touch anything, but us Jeep guys can't keep our hands off of them either way! Haha but I've done a lot of work so far to her but I would love to add the LED as the fog lights.. If I was you though definitely add a CAI in there as well... After I installed my K&N it sounds like a monster :thumbsup:
