Interior and reverse light LEDs installed. Makes it look more modern on the interior. And increases the visibilty for the backup camera. The only thing I can't stand are the small LEDs (MAP lights, behind the footwells, and center console) are still the standard halogen color. I am not going to hack up a brand new vehicle so I will learn to live with it.

Thanks!
I ordered all my LEDs from Amazon (JDMAstar) a reputable vendor.

Looks like what I should have in about a month, very nice!

Quick question; does the altitude still have the led rings on the cup holders? It doesn't mention them in the included equipment, but I notice they are still there in your pics. Maybe they are included but dont light up; just checking.

Thanks

Looks like your lug nuts are the wrong size. Doesn't look safe.

This makes me want to change to the silver interior trim!

Yes, the headlight bulbs and fog lights are an H11 bulb. I'm going to replace the factory halogen lights with Phillips Crystalvision.

Well I picked up the Jeep today after being at a local detail shop for a day... I had clear 3M scotchguard paint protection installed on the bumper, grill, headlights, partial hood/ fenders, mirrors, door handle cups, and the rear door sills. As well they tinted the front windows and clayed/ waxed the entire vehicle.

this is a key mod i want to do. i wish i had it before my first road trip, but it's still a goal for 2015.

As soon as I do the bulb change I will post pics.

hey man theres a guy on here that posted pics that were for a wk1 12-13 model and he said it fits perfect for wk2, i bought it for lke 10 bucks and it fits perfect, i love it, easy to clean,
What exactly are you referring too??
 
#33 ·
Yes it is a great mod but if you paid 10 bucks your crazy. It's $3.17 to be exact from my local dealer.

FINALLY got the correct Gorilla locks in. After being on back order for almost two weeks. I actually prefer the look of he old ones that were not designed for the factory wheels. But at least I know for safety purposes that these will work better. Don't know why they decided to put the "key" part on the very edge rather than on the inside of the wheel. They look like I could almost get some channel locks or something and turn them loose.

Thanks. And yeah that and the V8 option would have been nice in the altitude!

Looks nice.

I thought the 4x4 Altittude's had the knob selector in the middle tray? Or they do not cause they are based from a Laredo trim? I think i've read all laredo's do not have the knob selector is that correct?
Thanks. And yes it is because it is based off the Laredo.

Altitude is essentially a specially equipped Laredo and is only available with the V6 and QuadraTrak I. SelectTerrain requires QuadraTrak II which on the Laredo is only available on the Laredo E model with Off-Road Adventure I.

Ah, I missed the all-weather option. Thanks for that!
