Oh, and forget window tint. Just paint the glass black. :)

You gotta get a stereo system which requires a second alternator and battery, too, yo.

Hydraulic suspension would be really Snoop Doggish!

I know what you need- a Porsche Cayanne Turbo S :D With 450 horsepower and a 0-60 time of 5.2 seconds and a top speed of 162 MPH, one could be SUV pimpin' in style AND smoke off the occasional Crown Vic (or 'Vette, Z-28 or Mustang) if necessary. This vehicle redefines what an SUV should be all about. We all need twin turbos. It's only twenty grand more then the Escalade. I'm sure you can handle that! Just think how one of these would look with the big red Brembo calipers showing through the spinners.

Oh...and a Spectra or X9000 in the rear.

Its not how you spell it, it's how you say it........

Es-cah-lah-day.

Yeah, mon. Jet black, gold package, 26"spoke wheels with those ribbon thick tires, 90% tint on all the windows (including the windshield).

Hydraulics to make it jump, and purple neons underneath to light up the night.

90%? You mean 10%. Not to be an ass, but tint % means VLT (visible light transmission). So the higher the number, the lighter the tint. 5% is really damn dark tint, 2.5% is impossible to see through, without a hella bright flashlight....but....I dunno, no reason to this post.
Hey man, can I bum a sig? I'm all out...

What radios do you own?: FPP 6 meter XTL 5K's

Congrats on your step "up", you can armor that vehicle for around 80K for level 5 armor, 39mm glass, run flats etc., etc.. The brakes and suspension will need upgraded as that vheicle is not a 3/4 ton out of the chute.

If you need a Sti-Co dual band disguise antenna for it, I have a vhf/800 for that paticular vehicle in my hands as I type.
