Thanks man! Im sure monstaliner would've been the better choice, it was too expensive at the time.
Here's the link to the bug deflector.

Thanks djbenny, yeah the sun roof deflector was a miss, it really is just for looks because of the factory wind deflector. It was worth a shot but I will be pulling it off at some point. Man I am lovin the dakar emblems, best $15 ive spent on adding cool stuff.

Well flashing 4wd light diagnosis, all my switches on top of the tranny are gonna be pulled, cleaned, and resealed. I got a code 32 which I can't remember if he said it was the 2wd switch or the 2wd/4wd switch...none the less they are gonna do all of them for $170.

Just got my rig back today...we are about to leave for our vacation in the morning with it so lets hope she does good. Anywho...The dealer tried to clean all my switches, reseal them and put them back on. Sadly enough it didn't work so I ended up with a new 2h switch. Good to go so far...but not after a healthy tab of $316 clams.

I tried to look at where the switches might be. Are they on top of the tranny? Because I couldn't seem to find them in any obvious reachable places... My 03 gets flashing center light after about 20 mins on the freeway. Shut the car off, turn back on and the center won't flash for another 20 mins.
I think mine might be vacuum related.

Yesssir, they are on top of the tranny, and it has to be dropped to get to them. If your 4wd works fine then more than likely its your center diff switch. Its fault code is 33 or 34...I do believe. If you take it to the dealer or any mechanic and they say it just needs cleaned rather than replaced, the switch itself is only $58 so you may as well get the piece of mind of having a new switch in there.

Started my adventure with the fam down to the outer banks. Here we are leaving good ol wv on july 3rd
we left around 11 and drove for about 2 hours just to hit dead stopped traffic. It took us 2 hour to go 3 miles...gotta love holiday travel.
Stopped off in Raleigh to see my aunts and stay the night to split up our travel. The next morning we headed towards the obx. Here we are as we were crossing onto Manteo.
Made it to our beach house around 3pm on July 4th.
Watched the fireworks from our balcony.
Got my orv permit and headed out!
The montero did great in the deep sand, I had it in 4hlc and it scooted along with no problem!!!
Packed it in for the night, came back and steamed up my favorite part of being at the ocean!
MORE TO COME TOMORROW! !!!

The ARB deflator does work quite well. A bit more accurate than using the Stauns, though the Staun 2's are supposed to be more accurate than the older ones I still use.
