    So I know this is just what we need, another stormtrooper build, but here we go.​

    UPDATED 11/25/2014
    Lift installed Pg. 4:

    [​IMG]

    Added a new SOS Concepts Bumper
    [​IMG]

    Purchased an 06 DCSB sport in January 2011. I need to find a picture of how it looked then. Pretty much it only had some Mickey Thompson classic II's on it. (pic to come).


    Since then I have added many extras:
    Debadged it (I think it looks much cleaner without the badges)
    [​IMG]
    Blacked out Tails and 3rd Brake light
    [​IMG]
    Billet grille (painted black) with 4" round driving lights from westin
    [​IMG]
    Scanguage II
    [​IMG]
    Weathertech floor liners and window visors
    LED map/dome/parking/license plate bulbs
    10 Disc CD changer behind rear passenger seat
    [​IMG]
    Put the wired remote in the change bin in front of the shifter. Also added a Hurst T-handel shifter
    [​IMG]
    Just added one of these: USA SPEC iPod adaptor
    [​IMG]
    Wet Okole seat covers (front only)
    [​IMG]
    18"x9" XD Monsters
    [​IMG]
    285/65 Nitto Trail Grapplers
    Cab Mount Chop.....still need to box it in
    [​IMG]
    Black Headlight housings
    Morimoto Mini D2S retro/Audi style Strip lights/Blazer Fog retro
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Anytime Fog Light Mod
    N-Fab Side rails (thanks to Suttonkb) Removed
    SOS Sliders installed
    [​IMG]

    Added reverse lights under rear bumper
    [​IMG]

    7 pin Relocation into the Bumper
    [​IMG]

    K&N drop in air filter
    URD short throw shifter
    URD Throw out bearing replacement
    [​IMG]
    Took the time to paint the lower valence today...Looks much better

    stuff023_e45d5dc4286186f4d32d62dfa36a2783836b52b0.jpg
    Added a shorter/modified shifter made by Coupe, to go along with the URD SS. 9 1/2" long instead of the stock 11" (3rd one in picture). HUGE improvement on shifting, no more sloppy mess.

    This is just the begging to My Build I'll add pictures when I get a chance, right now I have to tend to the kiddies. More Pics to come soon of other things.........stayed tuned...........let me know what you think!

    Yes, did it with very dark vinyl, but when it starts to go south i think i am going to spray them.

    Auto zone. They are really a big help at night, and for the money, very bright. All I did was tap into the hot wire for the reverse lights, and ran a common ground for both. Easy, very simple, just a few wire taps and some screws.

    Alright, so I am thinking that my next mod may be to remove the grille I have now and do the satoshi. I figure that it is a time consuming process (like the retro headlights). So what i'm doing now is making a materials list to see what i come up with. I know there are several ways to do it, what would be the best way is my question to you. Not looking to buy one.....looking to make one. where to get the mesh, what kind, and how to attach it are my main questions.

    Also once it is done (may take a while), this grille will be up for sale, probably the lights as well. But I may satoshi the lower valence as well and put the 4" lights down there. This is a work in progress and i'm in the planing stage now, so anything goes.

    Thank man, it's a work in progress. The extra lights are wired into the factory wiring so they come on with the stock reverse lights.

    Wow you going to Kodiak? my cousin just did a 4 year tour up there with the U.S.C.G.. He loved it, now he is in Hawaii, but i think he wants to go back to Alaska. Have fun up there, be safe, and watch your back and ayour buddies.

    Yeah just find the hot wire for the reverse lights and tap it, then just make a common gorund connection for both to the frame somewhere and your done. It's easy.

    My cousin is a rescue swimmer, EST, or something like that i'll have to find out to be sure.

    I'll look at the wires in a few days and get back to you on that

    As far as the U.S.C.G. goes, you guys are everyday heros. He tells me some stories every now and then and i'm blown away most of the time. So I would like to thank you for doing what you do.
