Thread: Storm trooper!!! Update 6/24/12

UPDATE

LED tails have been installed finally this summer
Black arrowhead overlay installed
I also bought and installed a new head unit thanks to Jake for talking me into it. The only problem/issue you with it is that it is a little slow to load and change songs only on a cd but other than that it was a super nice addition to this vehicle.
Upgraded all interior lights to LEDs
I have installed the amber LED strobe lights but they are not as bright as I would like them to be so I have recently ordered another 10 sets of LED strobes which equates to 20 LED units that have 22 LEDs on each one, along with a new/better strobe (Sho-Me)
Will hopefully be upgrading to a better/more powerful CB radio along with installing a 200W booster to it for about 300W's of power.

Here are some recent pics I took. I know they are semi-blurry but I was in a hurry when I took them....

Who doesn't go 4x4 in their GP??
Aint the best pics in the world with horrible light and not tripod

Looks good sir. You need some SPO grilles though...

Looks good! Btw your radio makes me miss my cb days.... I used to have a 25 plus,29 plus and the two radios I still have are a superstar 120 and uniden grant xl (same as a cobra 148 GTL)

^ might be upgrading to a galaxy thats illegally modified from a retired trucker. Definitely have saved my ass a few times

My super star has so many channels I get lost in there.... I got that from a friend.... my grant xl served as my base radio...... I used a silver eagle desk top mic with it and had it hooked up to a heavy duty converter box since it is a mobile radio.... instead of the converter being on 7.8 amps at 12volts ,it had 25-30 amps at 13.8 volts IIRC (I'd have to dig it out to look to be sure since its been almost two years since I used it) I also had a 30 foot tripod tower in the back yard (this was all at my parents house too) with a 6 foot section of mast mounted to the center of the tripod at the very top and the antennae was an intron99 . I could reach truck drivers on the interstate with no problem ( the interstate is 10 miles away give or take and I was still hitting them with close to 8-16 )

Well I finally installed the new LED amber strobes in the front of my car. Still have to come up with a game plan for mounting them in the rear. The flash module I am using now is a Sho-Me flash module. Here is the vid and let me know what you guys think.

Sick. Now get SPO grilles.

Nice looking car, I like the leds in it. Not a fan of the fogs in the grille but thats just my opinion.
Nice dog rididng shotgun.

Well it was like 45 degrees today up here in Northern MN so I decided to hand wash it since this weather never happens in January and decided to snap some quick pics. Let me know what ya think.

Stock rims FTL...

Good pics though.

Stock rims = winter beast mode FTW

Summer is here so I have started doing more mods to the vehicle. The first mod that I did was paint the SPO red grills that I had to black in the honeycomb part and leave the edges red.


Next I started working on making a switch board so that I can have all my switches in one localized area for everything I am currently running in my car and anything in the future that I want to run in my car. So far this is what the board looks like (the nickels represent where the switches are going to be located at)


Tonight I put in 6 white/bluish SMD LED strips in the trunk of my car because I was fed up not being able to see anything in there at night.




Next mod will be putting LEDs into all of the door handles inside and out. The outside ones will light up when the interior lights go on and turn off with the insides lights. The door handle LEDs on the inside of the vehicle will be on a switch.

Hoping to have all the wiring done in the next week and a half.

car looks sweet dude, i like the black and red outlines grills, gonna do that on my car in near future

Just some pictures taken recently and please excuse the dirty vehicle/windows....

White always looks good Lookin' good man keepin' it clean!

Cars looking real clean! Love the white. Im pretty sure I have seen you a few times around town. Im thinking we need to get a photoshoot with both our cars sometime soon.

Ricky we definitely should plan something. I am no longer in Duluth because I finally graduated college but may be down there soon for hopefully a job interview. You wouldn't happen to be the person who left a not on my car would you be?
