    NICE!!!! you got that new exhaust mounted up to i see, i was blown away when Brian removed my cam bolts and there was already rust forming, just know that you will need to get an alignment the second they remove the cam bolts.

    ill probably put RPM and engine temp if available on my 2nd screen. I gotta look through all the options and start setting up multiple screens.

    how are you going to calibrate distance?

    GPS. Reset trip on UG and gps. Then when you calibrate distance you adjust to gps actual. Then you can check accuracy of UG against GPS until they're similar. With my gears and 33s I'm at around .92.... With 34s I was around .94.... Different manual versus auto too.

    Are you going HC? I'd love to grab a HC rear bumper...

    I was wondering if I'd see you this morning. I typically head up to work at that time on Mondays and one other day of the week. Where did you spot me? And thanks! I'm really digging the topper.

    you were in the right lane headed up towards santa fe construction, then you were in the left 4 cars in front of me just after santa fe all the way to the broncos stadium.

    I may do high clearance, but for now i might just stick with a standard rear plate bumper, that will gain me 8 or more inches anyways. Im thinking within the next two years it will happen though.

    That construction sucks...

    I contacted ToyTec per your suggestion and it sounds like they're hoping to have some sliders ready to go at the beginning of the new year. So, hopefully they'll be making all kinds of armor.

    Time frame for me to grab a new rear bumper is probably longer than yours, unless I get rear ended hah.
