Picture Time
First Day I got it from the dealership

I have an obsession with lights, so the first thing I did was put a 20" lightbar in the grill

I then decided to take some random pictures

I did a raptor lights grill mod and I like it a lot. Here is a picture of what they look like the night I installed them

Next I blacked out the front and rear bumper, and grill. I think it looks really good now.

Now here is a picture of the X during my winter exploration adventure with all the lights on

Then my friend in his Prius decided to attempt a water crossing, but epically failed hahahaha. This was the day I joined the Prius Recovery Team!!!

Now this is what the X looks like currently today:

So its been a while since I have posted anything on the X, so here are the updates so far...

I got 285/75/16 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs, and they are so much better than the stock tires.

I have always thought having lights mounted near the bottom corner of the windshield have looked cool, so I bought some 3" LED cubes and fabricated some brackets myself for the lights to mount to. The mounts use the factory hood bolts, and not drilling is required also. They are also have enough clearance to open the hood fully also with not issues of the lights coming in contact with anything. In all, I think the lights turned out pretty well!

I also made my own Auxiliary Fuse Box, and you can attach up to 7 accessories to it. And then I mounted 1 switch next to the factory off-road roof lights, and 6 switches next to the bluetooth mic cover.

Some other small things I did was put a fire extinguisher in the rear, I painted some of the stock skids red, and I installed some amber led floor lights.

And here is how the X sits currently (kind of dirty right now too)

I fabricated the led cube light mounts myself. I got some 1" wide flat steel and bent it in a couple places to match the curvature of the underside of the hood. It is mounted to the hood using one of the two nuts that attach the hood to the car. I don't currently have any more pictures of the mounts with me, but I can post some later today or tomorrow so you can see what I did.
