New mods. Stereo, hid's, led's and more

Well it's been a boring day off so I snapped a few pics of my new mods.

I switched out my 3 KC's for a set of Hella 700's with 6000k HID's. These make the KC's look like parking lamps.





Got rid of the jump seat and ordered a console. It's nice to finally be able to reach the cup holders.



Added LED's to the Cargo lights, backup lights and tag lights. Light output is similar to the halogens, just a much more appealing color. I'll get night pics in a few hours.

Teaser:



Installed the Pioneer 3200DVD, Alpine 6x8's, Kicker 500 mono amp, Image Dynamics 10" sub in an Atrend box.

Sorry the pics aren't the greatest, cheap point and shoot. The pics really don't do the led's justice.

You have a transfer case shifter? Dang, I wish I had one - I didn't know it was an option.

Your truck looks bad a$$.

Yep, that was one of the biggest selling points with the STX.

Lookin great Grim! How was the console swap? Are you missing the jump seat at all? I've got a reg cab and have been wanting to do the same? Also, how's the comfort of the console? Does it sit about the same as the jump seat console? Higher/lower, further forward or back?

Any photo's of the console swap? Was it reasonably priced? I would like to accomplish the same project on my STX.

Thanks!
It was really easy, pull out a few bolts and put the 4 new ones in. The biggest issue is I have big hands so I had to convince a friend to start the bolts for me. As far as the placement and comfort it's about the same as the jump seat. It's one of my favorite mods.

I paid around $150 shipped off of ebay.

Here is a link to another forum that I went off of.
