|  Mike's SCSO Snow Patrol
A few weeks back I picked up a blizzard from the classifieds for a steal. The body was kinda beat but when I got it we were getting snow and I wanted to get it running. I ran a pack or 2 through it that day then tried a 3s and the XL5 didnt like that much  So I did the trade up program at the LHS to a villeon system, ordered a bearing kit, got 120k diff lock, and ordered a new body from Corey over at RPP Hobby. I had some time to paint it last week and being home sick from work today I had time to finish detailing it out. I wanted to do a Suffolk County Sheriffs theme so I went black and white with it, tossed on a light bar from an NYPD toy car that a buddy gave me to many years ago, 4 aluminum KCs from a tamiya club member (bar has 3 different flash patterns), a pro line rack with some goods, and finished it off with a juggsterr winch, custom exhaust stack, reign antenna and a custom fuel tank with lines. We are getting pounded with snow so check back tomorrow for the action pics  Here are the posers for now          Plans are to try and add some sort of interior, few more antennas, and I want to label it with some white lettering but need to get letters 1st. thanks for looking Mike |

Looks totally awesome!! When you say you got it for a steal of a deal...can I ask how much.  I love the DF-300 and Blizzard SR that I have. I converted one of my SRs into the DF-300. Both have features I like but for pure speed the DF should be the one I go to most in Winter.Oh and do you have any pics with the body off so we can see your set up? |

Looks really good my man, great job, love the theme. These things are a blast and it appears like you'll have snow around for awhile to get addicted to it. Have fun! |
