Some reason the pictures of your roof aren't showing up? I don't see them at any rate.

Could have been part of the" going out of tune " problem

 

[mrk5]

Bet it starts causing some issues before actually throwing the code.

 

[GWeakland620]

Mine had the same issue. Made it lose its tune, and in turn made it untunable.

"stock"

The wide band that I have is just so that I can really read what the system is doing. The system doesn't use it to do anything. The system has another one that it uses, it is not a wide band, my display is lean or rich, red or green lights. That is why I go the wide band so I could do a bit my figuring out.

The lack of tune ability of this system or really the tremendous learning curve that it takes to make it work, vs. the new systems that are out there is very frustrating. If I didn't have so much time, money, wiring and crap into this one it would be gone.

You just described my situation perfectly.

Have hood isn't quite done but it is on and it will open and close. Have to figure out what to do with the front.

 

[ashman]

I love that you still have the hood ornament. lol

 

[Bent77]

I cut my off because I got tired of people messing with it

 

[blazinzuk]

It's a great spot to wrap the winch control cable out of everything

 

[kgblazerfive]

Yeah I like the hood ornament.

I am going to to have redo the front of the hood the drivers side sticks out further then the passenger. As well as sitting a bit lower. After that its time to figure out the grill.

 

[kgblazerfive]

I got the rear view mirror on too. Going to have to do different side mirrors though.

 

[kgblazerfive]

Think I may move the off road lights up to just below the stock ones. Then mod the grill so that it is only in the middle and on the top of the factory lights. Then maybe fill in the bottom with something that will protect the radiator a bit but let the air flow through.
