    Supposedly makes the gas pedal not feel like you are pressing an old potato (improves throttle response).

    Took about two minutes to install. That was a nice change. :rofl:

    We'll see. They get a lot of good reviews. I hate the throttle response it currently has. So I hope it fixes that.

    I've got used to my throttle. Especially since I drive fully armored humvees at work that we are only allowed to do 55. So every time I jump in my truck it feels great.

    There is some truth in that...I have gotten used to the granny response in my second gen now.

    So this pedal commander...

    It makes driving in stop and go traffic a lot better. Which is about 9-10 hours of my work week. It's nice there. But at freeway speeds it's really hard to keep the transmission from constantly shifting. There is a fix for that! ECO mode. Even at I'd guess 75% you can't really get the trans to downshift. I'm not sure I want to use ECO mode though because it basically makes throttle input 0. Need to accelerate for any sort of emergency situation - not happening.

    I need more seat time with it, but right now I'm not really sure it's worth the cash. Off road it'll be sweet. That pedal delay sucks.

    I've been tempted to buy one. My work is 17 miles away. The quickest I can make it to or from work is 45 minutes. Most of the time it's around an hour.

    Right now I have three switches for camping lights right above the passenger cubby in the bed. I did a crappy job drilling the holes so I'm going mount it there. Plus it'll allow USB cables up into the tent. This will power my fridge and phones/whatever USB. The switch is even a circuit breaker. Blue Sea so kind of weather proof.

    Switch pro on it's way to replace the manual switches. Then I can control them with blutooth. :cool:

    Oh...got some new roof brackets. Light bar is going back on the roof!!

    Then I'll be able to see my sweet grill again and also use all 8 lights I paid for - only six fit on the bumper.

    I'm 25 miles, usually 45 in truck sometimes an hour. Bike saves time and frustration in traffic. Just don't ride like a dick and be carefull, everyone is dumb and trying to kill you.

    I've ridden bikes for a long time back in Utah, but never here. Splitting is illegal in Utah.

    There are a few things I hate about lane splitters. Harley's that pull up on you and rev to get you to move. I refuse to move for those people. But pretty much always move over for people behaving (partly due to my hatred of harley owners :rofl:).

    And then there are the dudes doing 40+ when traffic is barely moving. I'm surprised there are more wrecks.
