If I had a tuner I'd bring it. Truck stop may have one is the only thing I can suggest.

Whoot changed the oil and filter, topped off the coolant reservoir, checked the ATF and the rest of the fluids, re-spooled the winch cable under load, she's ready and so am I. See y'all in the morning.

I've dropped by a couple of times to look, talk and get a feel for the place. I wasn't waving any money right off the bat so they weren't too interested, as a consequence I wasn't to impressed. To be fair though a friend of ours son had them order and install a lift, bumpers, winch, rims and tires on a TJ and both he and his dad were pleased with the whole experience. After the TJ hydrolocked they had a RR light bar and lights installed on a new JK and it looked good, I wasn't too impressed with how LOR handled the wire loom / light bar interface but that might just be me and the lights worked fine. Another friend has talked with them several times about putting a lift on an old Suburban and if they decide to do it I'm sure that's where they will take it.

I will add they are supposed to have their own alignment rack.

Just my two centavos

Thanks for the replies on LOR. I guess I will just have to go over there and talk to them on Monday.

Alright, I am awake and I did sleep the whole night like a big boy so it looks like i will be out there at Flyin' J ready to go around 8:30! Can't wait to see y'all and get out on the wet sand.

See y'all there in Sabine Pass at 10am. Wave to the right as you pass the old wal-mart (now storage place) after you cross the rainbow bridge, because that is where I live.

I bought a flexible tripod yesterday and mounted it to my hoop on my bumper, so I can put my Flip video camera there on the run.

Here is the test video I did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EhRu_2aolM

Seems like it wont do to good off road though. Already getting movement out of it on the bumpier roads not to mention that I am not entirely sure that you are going to want to kick sand, dirt, and mud up into your lens. Seems like a quick way to destroy it, but that is just me. Although it would have been pretty awesome if you would have hit a bug at about 55 mph lol

I found that I didn't compensate enough for the camera vibrating. I have enough Velcro straps now ( hopefully) to remedy that. Otherwise my copilot will be filming.
