Well I bought a used '06 SE CC 4x4 earlier this year and assumed that I would make a few minor modifications to ensure that it would meet my needs in the NC mountains as we clear some land and get ready to build a cabin.
It all started like this:
Basically a stock SE with the value pkg and I added the body side molding and step rails...
...skid plates, and an Undercover Tonneau.
But first trip into the woods I realized that if I got stuck up here I'd be in real trouble. Cell phone does not work and its 10 miles down to the paved road. So I had to get some recovery gear. Winch bumber options are limited for this vehicle, expensive, and have long lead times. So while I'm still in love with the Shrockworks Winch bumper I decided the "temporary" solution would be the Curt Front Receiver...
with a Warn MultiMount and M8000 winch.
and I quickly realized that the stock radio was really bad so that had to be replaced and I went with a Pioneer DD with new Pioneer 6x9s in the front, and 6" pioneers in the back.
of course now that the fix is in I had to add a CAI...
... and a catback (from JBA)
