It looks awesome now, I hope you didn't change it too much

 

[fireSAR]

remember, some change is good... great looking setup on your rig. I'm wondering how your going to setup the icom.

 

[SCPD]

[self2recovery]

All that stuff bolted on to your car... Did you upgrade your alternator?

 

[self2recovery]

surprisingly, i didn't... i have an alternate optima battery behind the drivers seat ... the stock alternator was 120 amps so ... it's doing perfect thus far.

 

[Ch1ronTL34]

What is that tubing that's coming up your passenger side?

 

[self2recovery]

a snorkel... poorly made, i admit, i need to do some work on it ... it's for water fording so my engine doesn't intake water and destroy itself.

 

[Shortwavewave]

Nice Intake, are any of your doors sealed a little better?

 

[self2recovery]

yes, somewhat, but not as well as i'd like them to be ... i sealed my engine compartment pretty good though.

got it, and replied...

and i do not by any means mean to open a can of worms here, but when someone said "i can see it coming already..." ... i am not a "W" word, lol. police volunteer and a helicopter pilot... and i would never mount red/blues on my vehicle, i respect public safety and know i shouldnt mess with that.

 

[jdelange]

Volunteer Police Officer w/ a radar detector... thats funny

 

[brutalpilot514]

That is a hell of a setup. I really like that. Wish I could do something similar in my truck but that ain't gonna happen anytime soon.

Well you have enough lighting to give the sun a run for its money, i'd still like to see it all actually in use and not have your alternator blow into small pieces.

Did i miss the red and blue lights somewhere? I see what appears to be a clear lightbar, perhaps i am mistaken?

 

[self2recovery]

nah i dont have any red/blues ... i have clear all around, 2 clear LED bars and 1 clear/amber one in the windshield, strobes in the headlights/taillights...

What is the SPEAKER that is between your foreward facing Off Road lights used for? and is that a Electronic Siren Control Box on the side of your Console?..Thanks for any Info..

 

[self2recovery]

the speaker is for the siren/pa system...which is what you were asking about
