A mild Renegade build

[eric m]

This a 2015 Jeep Renegade I’ve been building for a friend. It started off stock, since then we’ve added the following:

K&N intake
68mm throttle body
Magnaflow cat-back exhaust
Valkyrie carrier bearing and rear diff skid plates
Avid 2” lift
Eibach 1.7” front and 1.1” rear springs (yielded 4” plus lift in front)
2” wheel spacers
235/75 r17 tires
Did the pinch seam mod

And currently I’m in the process of painting the aftermarket hood, laid the base and clear yesterday, going to add flat black and the vents and cowl portion. I will keep this updated for kicks as once again this isn’t my Jeep I’m just doing all the work on it lol.

You have it looking good. Can’t wait for the next update. I seen one of the new Jeep Cherokees lifted 3” probably, the other day with some aggressive tires. It looked good. I just seen it as it rolled by. Stay Safe.

You have to appreciate this site, Talk Jeeps so many discussions over issues to make yours Great.

Thanks, I think his next upgrades (aside from finishing and installing the hood) will be to add a light bar (bars) he’s getting from someone on a Renegade Facebook group. Most of the upgrades he has planned out appearance oriented.

I believe he found the lift on eBay, the guy he bought it from had it but hadn’t installed it and his Renegade got totaled.

Got the flat black shot tonight. Stupid tape my buddy got left some nasty residue that’s being a pain to buff out but it coming along.

We got the hood on, still angry about the tape issues 🤬🤬. We also added roof rails, a rack and a light bar.

Is the renegade alabaster silver?

We added an Avid winch bumper to the Renegade. I wasn’t part of the original install but I got it cleaned up and the winch wired up.
