Okay, all the nice vehicle builds have got me itching to do one of my own, though it's going to take me a while to get all of the parts and pieces gathered up.
I'm starting with a slightly dinged 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer with the 4200 Vortec inline 6 cylinder engine, automatic transmission and 4 wheel drive. It has some cosmetic damage that I will fix along the way; hitting two deer within a year tends to leave marks.
The list of items to be installed is as follows:
Viper SmartStart alarm system and remote starter with GPS location capabilities
Havis IdleRight 2
Havis ChargeGuard
Havis C-VS-1300-TBZ console
Havis PKG-PSM-125 passenger side mount
Yaesu FTM-400DR System Fusion transceiver with APRS
Yaesu FT-857D HF/VHF/UHF transceiver
Icom ID-880H VHF/UHF D-STAR transceiver
Garmin nuviCAM GPS/Dash cam
Garmin BC-30 backup camera
ArgentData GTRANS for an FTM-350 (will need a cable mod to work with the FTM-400DR)
Cradlepoint router
NMO antenna mounts
I already have the Icom ID-880H in the truck, but it will be physically relocated and wired in better and will have a different antenna location.
Will post some pictures of the truck as is tomorrow.
