Updated

 

As of now

 

A little dirty

After a night of following two Chevy z71 4x4s with 35" mud grapplers. Where they would spin my PreRunner just crawled right through the mud.. Made me proud.

 

is there a reason for the strobes in the scoop or is it one of those what the hell things?

 

It was one of those what the hell kinda things.. I really just wanted the strobe box so I could wire it to red lights for VFD but I couldn't find it separate

 

New speaker box sounds much better. Doesn't do well with high notes but it gets deep and LOUD. Which is really what I wanted..

 

Dual amps! One pushes my alpine door speakers and tweeters and the other pushes the sub. The one on left is 600 watts and the one on the right is 400.

 

updated!

 

Where did you buy the hood scoop strobes from?

 

I got them from Autozone

 

As of 10/23/2012

Went on a trail ride and got some trail damage on my bumper so i guess that's a good reason for a new bumper LOL

Here are some pics















This was during Hurricane Isaac..

 

at the camp..







and just bored one day..

 

the most recent thing i have done.. tweeters

 

And LED footwell lights..already had leds in map lights and dome, wired them all to come on with the unlock and door open.. They're all same color led, the iphone camera just didnt pick it up very well... also brighter than it looks

 

Blacked out the taillights with vht night shades

 

Put an led strip on the inside of the lid of the tool box and put it on a switch for when it opens and closes. Lights up the box, the bed, and about a 20 foot half circle around the back of the truck.

 

Going to update a bit.. did a few lighting mods recently, halos in the fog lights and perimeter lighting. Halos and perimeter lights come on with remote unlock/open door or via switch. the halos were pretty simple to do and cost less than 50$ to do the entire install. they are multi-color RGB LEDs, come with a remote to change the colors, brightness, and strobe/fade modes. If anyone is interested i took pics and will do a write-up on it..

perimeter lighting and green halo:

Clean..


Also got the windshield tinted to 35%

 

Subbed for halo details. Nice work!
