    Exciting discovery!!!

    So I recently purchased a VX from a dealership. The truck is pretty heavily modded and you can tell someone loved this thing (makes me wonder why they sold it). Here is a list of the mods that I have found so far:

    4 inch (at least I think) lift
    33inch Nitto tires and aftermarket 18inch wheels
    true cold air intake with K&N cone filter
    aftermarket heavy duty cooling hoses and lines
    Rearview mirror with temp, compass, and auto-tinting
    Overhead console with garage door transmitter and sunglasses door
    Blue LED interior lighting
    Blue Xenon Headlights
    Led flood lights
    Second set of Halogen front lights
    Painted heads
    pop out alpine stereo with 8 inch screen, fully wired for subwoofer/amplifier

    And I'm sure there are more yet to be discovered. Today, I found out it is equipped with a Viper alarm system with remote entry, remote engine start, and even remote rear door entry There are still two more aftermarket toggle switches on the dash that I can't figure out what they do! There are 4 total, 2 control the front lights, but these other two are a mystery.. I think one may turn the TOD off and on but not sure yet. Any ideas?. All in all, I am happy to be the owner of an awesome VX! Even if it does have 126,000 miles..

    There are wires attached to the back of the switches, I'm assuming they go somewhere.. but you know what assuming gets you. lol

    Is there something special about the hotshot? I'm not an expert in these cold air intakes. I just know it has a K&N filter on the end of it.

    I saw that the first day you posted it. I like everything about it. Wheels, rack, paint etc. Looks like a lot of money and time pored into it. The truck is tight, Congrats!

    Hey Matt, nice rig.
    I've got a similar Alpine head unit that I hooked up a rearview camera to. Instead of running it with the power from the reverse lamp I hooked it up the the rear defroster power. This let's me use it as a selectable full time rearviewer.
    Just an idea for you.

    Thank you sir! I am proud to own it. She sure is a head turner. I love driving it. If it didn't drink so much fuel I'd just drive it around all day. lol
