Bought this brand new in 2006 for the anticipated birth of my son and all his stuff to carry. First brand new car I ever owned which my wife used as a daily driver. Fell in love with it on the test drive.

As it stood stock.

My first mods.



Installed my JVC KW-AVX70. Has a rear USB cable (not shown). I ran the wire to the upper glove box area so its out of sight. Ipod hooks up to it and I can control it through the unit. Also can hook up a thumb drive to it. It can read all the music and can leave it in the car. Also has a detachable face.





Rear view camera.


Had the camera mounted above the license plate but removed it after I got my Shrock bumper.


Bluetooth mic.


BFG AT/KO's 265/75/16 and fog lights added.

Inverter switch.

Outlet.

My Shrock Sliders.

My Shrock Tire Carrier.

Did the Pauly LED Console lights. Kind of hard to see but works great at night.


Slow build but working on it. I was going to get black rims or stealth mine but now that I have that machined OR rim I'm leaning towards them. Should have my DEPHEP rack on order this week and then I am bedlining the roof.

Thanks for the compliments. I followed PaulXyZ write up from the site that shall remain nameless. Not sure if I can copy and paste it here. Very easy to do. I bought a small row of LED light from Auto Zone. He suggested using a mercury switch mounted inside the console lid so when you open it it turns the light on. The power comes from the power adapter inside the console. Sorry that is not detailed to much but not sure what I can write. Here's what it looks like at night:



Here's the lights. Not the best pic. I mounted it on the front interior of the console.

Probably in class..
That's awesome, I don't think anyone here fmwpuld mind if you copied it over so we had the write up on XN. Talk with the original owner and see if he is okay with it, and give credit where it is due but I'm sure other people would like to see how it's done. I've ripped my center console out so I can't really do this.. But I'm sure others would like to do it.

Looks good. Nothing wrong with slow builds. $10 says mine is not any faster than yours....maybe even slower haha. I like your grill guard - I have the same one and it just looks great :)

those pauly leds would look awesome on the inside of your cab. like 30" ones to light up the inside of your truck when you need it.

I'm back and forth on changing the lights in the cab. Sometimes I want a white gauge dash and lights and then other times I like the amber.

^I'm the same way. And then realise if i spent money on mods for looks, that is less money for mods for function, haha.

Build is looking great so far! Bedlining the wheels is fun and starts an addiction to wanting to bedline more shiznit. :)

Did the Rogue Key mod today. I bought a Rogue Key off Ebay. Didn't realize it was a knock off but it works. I open the Rogue key and removed the transponder out of it. I carefully used a small screwdriver to pry it out. I then used a razor to cut the plastic off my valet key. I spit it along the sides and until it came off. I took the transponder out and put it in the Rogue key. I used a drop of Gorilla Glue to keep it in place and screwed it back together. I went to my local hardware store and had them cut the key, I then followed these instructions:

Step 1) Sit in drivers seat, close and lock all doors.

Step 2) Insert key into and remove it from ignition key cylinder more than six times within 10 seconds.
(Hazard warning lamps will then flash twice). I had to do it about 8 times.

NOTE:
Withdraw key completely from ignition key cylinder each time.
If procedure is performed too fast, system will not enter registration mode.

Step 3) Insert key into ignition key cylinder and turn to ACC position.

Step 4) Push any button on remote controller once. (Hazard warning lamps will then flash twice).
At this time, the oldest ID code is erased and the new ID code is entered.

Step 5) Do you want to enter any additional remote controller ID codes?
A maximum of four ID codes may be entered. If more then four ID codes are entered,
the oldest ID code will be erased.
If you do not want to enter any additional remote controller ID codes, go to Step 9).

Step 6) ADDITIONAL ID CODE ENTRY
Lock all doors with LH (driver side) lock/unlock switch
(in main power window and door lock/unlock switch).

Step 7) Push any button twice on remote controller once, (Hazard warning lamps will then flash twice).
At this time, the oldest ID code is erased and the new ID code is entered.

Step 8) Do you want to enter any additional remote controller ID codes?
If so, unlock doors then repeat Step 6) and Step 7).

Step 9) When complete, open door, and check operation of remote.

Everything worked great. I have to go back to the hardware store and have them file the key a little more. I forgot to take pics while I did this.
