My Saab 9-7x

[Solarplex]

Not a big off road guy & I only got into upgrading my baby because I enjoy water sports like kayaking & canoeing, I enjoy camping & other outdoorsy stuff with that being said, I am trying to make the Saab more of a real SUV versus a Mall / Grocery Store Cruiser. Heres what I have so far.

Will update with more outdoorsy pics as well, did this on the fly

Current
Thule M.O.A.B. (Basket / Cargo)
Kayak Carriers (Unequipped atm)
Smitty Built Beaver Step

Product I actually have on hand & will be implementing
*I have hood ornament i will adding soon. ( Vauxhall Eagle [Vauxhall is a subsidiary of GM] that kinda resembles saab, will be slicing off the flag and keeping the arrow & painting silver prior to install - http://imgur.com/qkvHsx0 )


*I have a 20" Led Light Bar I will be mounting in my grill - under the hood area. pics with update soon. ( Model I have that's yet to be installed - http://tuffledlights.com/products/rugged-series-led-light-bar-20-inch-72-watt-spot/ )

Pipe Dreams (Thinking about for the future but don't actually have at the moment)
3" Lift
Offroad Tires
Mud Flaps
Running Boards / Rock Sliders

She looks real nice bud. You plan on putting a lift or bigger wheels & tires on this bad-boy in the future?

Looks good so far . Dont think I have ever seen a lift 9-7x. You could be the HardTrailz of the Saab world

 

[Solarplex]

Thanks Guys, I'm on a tight budget & with that being said, I'm still running the sport tires BUT once the tires lifespan ends I 100% plan on getting some larger offroad tires (mud flaps as well).

As for the lift, I can't say I plan on doing that quite yet (stated budget issue) BUT if ever do get the time & $ I would 100% love to add a lift & Running Boards / Rock Sliders.

Hopefully you'll be able to accomplish all your mods plans in do time, maybe one day you'll be the HardTrailz of Saab 97-x's, that'd be sick

Looking forward to following your build

Welcome to the nation. The only SAAB that I wish I had.
Will be a collector car in 20 years.

[Bscfrank914]

Lol, Have you ever thought of throwing a light bar up on that basket?

I have but before I invest in a nice light bar I figured id invest in a lift & larger tires. also will add lights on the safari light bar

 

[Solarplex]

Here is the saab with the westin safari light bar - fits flawlessly

 

[Solarplex]

Put the lights on a couple days ago & here they are. I think they look pretty decent and they provide a nice spotlight. Also just got done doing a little rally fun in the mud.
