The day I got her.
Still on the lot:
At home with my little 4 banger:
A few weeks later I went on my first adventure on a random dirt road that I found with google maps:
It was all fun until street tires met red clay.....they don't like each other:
The first mod I did was add a pair of 100w KC daylighters:
Decided to get rid of the smiley face covers:
Glass breaker and seatbelt cutter mounted under the rear seats:
Safari Basket:
Axe and shovel mounted: (due to weight during winter the axe goes under the backseats:
Maglite under the driver seat:
3rd tail light:
Handles:
LED strip around the hatch:
Bedlined Headliner:
This is the best pic I could get of it installed:
While I was putting all of the trim back up a little helper wondered over and chilled while watching me:
Notice only half a tail....this kitten has seen some stuff:
CB setup:
4 foot Firestik Firefly
18 foot Firestik coax
Match maker by Firestik (to split the AM FM and CB signals)
I wanted a clean, almost don't notice it's there install that was different from most, I did however get this idea from a guy on CX.
It leans forward a little but that doesn't bother me.
and at the bottom I had to "Modify" the plastic a bit.....
Not really a mod but my X didn't come with a fairing or Sunroof cover.
I immediately ripped the fabric off the cover.....can't have that stained fabric with the rest of the headliner bedlined
As for most X's this will always be a work in progress.
