    Not a problem Coby, that'll work fine. Careful with the center caps though, I straight up painted them without sanding first and they got bubbly on me.

    Got together with Matt (RecklessTaco) today and did the foglight anytime mod and installed a CB radio and PA system. Matt did all the hard work, I just followed along and helped route the wires/mount the CB bracket...Thanks man!! :D

    Back left panel removed to feed the coax through.

    Got lucky with the flat antenna mount from a truck stop...only had to cut about a half inch off the top slider rail and it fit without cutting the plastic rail topper.

    I'm not all that useful to the Coast Guard with a bum finger until it heals. Plus my ship's deployed...gotta stay busy somehow!! :D


    Thanks man, I haven't come across anyone yet with a black and gunmetal combo the way I want to do it so we'll see what happens if it's a good look. I think it will be. You doing your badges at all?

    The grill...I'm liking the way it sits right now but the Satoshi is tempting...

    Went up to see Mike at Fineline Graphix in Santee and got this done. He's making me some domed vinyl emblems that are the same as all the stock badges, only they will be gunmetal gray. Debadging tomorrow morning!!
