Then threw a sub in the back (kenwood headunit and speakers, pioneer 800 Watt amp and 800 watt sub) The sub died recently and I have a Kicker Comp VT on the way now!

Cargo Net (got dirty ultimate frisbee stuff all the time that's nice to keep outside of the X)

Added grip tape to the running boards and Painted the plastics. Tried some back to black, but it only lasted for a couple weeks before the sun spots came back. And the black looks better anyways! :

That's all I've got for now, but I've got a list of to-do's containing a PML, larger tires, a light bar, and possibly shrock or custom bumper.

the new sub came in and I got that installed quite quickly!

added a "Kicker" bumper sticker to go with the sub (and it's yellow so it matches the grip tape quite well )

Looks like the light bar is going to be the next addition, and I'm thinking of going with rectangular lights to mix it up a little since there are so many round halogens out there already

I haven't been on much lately due to working full time now in addition to going to school full time, but I've managed to do a little. I recently decided the plastics on the roof rack need to match the black plastics below so I painted those. I've got some pics that I'll get up here decently soon (I hope)
Looking at replacing the shocks next... which will hopefully lead to a custom front bumper here at some point

if you need a light bar hit me up I was born in Greenville Oh... But now im in TN
The X is looking good... just wondering why you didnt take the plastics off to paint?
Seem like doing it the way you did could lead to over spray on you sweet ride...
Good luck with the build

For now I'm just making a light bar to go with the Hella's because I got a sweet deal on them. Doing a little "U" bracket with an L Bar going across the front with the lights mounting on top. Will post pics as soon as I get it done. Got everything made, just a few more holes to drill then assembling it all and wiring the lights. Can't wait!
Also, I'm putting the lights down in front of the air dam for now. I really like having them set lower. (At least I think I will, who knows)

That's how I rigged mine. Simple, affordable, and effective.For now I'm just making a light bar to go with the Hella's because I got a sweet deal on them.
