    Hey buddy - Now you're making me want to change my sequential fog fangs wiring to TAIL fuse or something so they only come on with the first click of the lights (the ambers in the headlights), instead of on with ignition and drls. We only put 11,000 kms/6,850 miles on this thing a year..

    Thanks! Ordered it from taco vinyl. I tried finding the link but it wouldn’t work. Seems like a good quality product and has 3M adhesive. Hoping it lasts!

    I had an OTT last fall. Wondering what would happen if I installed the SB as well...hmmm. The OTT does great in 1st and 2nd, but beyond that, for me, it still hunts for gears and needs LOTS of pedal manipulation to get it to downshift when in the 40-50mph range. Only solution is to 'reset' by removing foot from pedal for reapplication and tranny will respond in kind with a lower gear easily. Otherwise, heavy pedal travel until gear download. Oh well, I think I just need to reflash the ECU back to stock and try the SB. Will advise.

    Hmm good to know, I din know about SB before buying PC, but honestly guys my PC has been rock solid and I don't experience the issues ya'll mention. But sure I believe it. Not enough to switch to SB, that's for sure. There's gotta be folks with complaints about SB too.

    I had a KD-Tune 1 1/2 years after the Sprint Booster was installed. I haven't had any issues at all. The 4R downshifts at the pedal position I expect it to. No more keep-pushing-the-pedal to get it to downshift. Just a reasonable burp of the pedal and into 4th (or 3rd) gear we go.

    4Wheeling 101, try to put a tire on the obstacle if possible. And Viper Cut helps you do just that. And it is a pretty cheap mod too.

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.
    Finally got all the silver out of the interior that I'm going to. All from Cartrimhome. Fit of all pieces is vert good but some shows a tiny bit of silver around the edges. I just used some flat black model paint to cover that. I'm happy with the results.DSCF0001.jpg DSCF0002.jpg DSCF0006.jpg DSCF0007.jpg

    I miss the days driving over anything with confidence when I had KO2s. Now with my SL tires I'll be praying.

    So far no problems since Mrs didn't let me leave the pavement after new kid, LoooooL :p

    Just saw a Black lifted Limited. I don't think it had any mods except lift and big tires. Looked amazing.
