Yep , I know what you mean. Since buying mine I installed the LMC5 steering lock bypass and the skip shift eliminator. It's putting me in the poor house.

Yes, restraint....it's good at times to hold back especially when the wife wants granite countertops and doesn't complain when the UPS or FedEx truck pulls up.....and then, that moment after the countertops are installed and, THE MODs continue!!!

I know how you feel...I see something I want and buy it...then I need to make time to install it!! In my garage right now I have parts waiting to be installed...Frame rail protectors, HID ACA headlights, Skip Shift eliminator, Seat rail shims, Steel replacement for the broken plastic seat track part, steering wheel decal....I need a vacation to install all of the stuff I have! I almost bought a supercharger a month ago but replaced my 16' X 24' deck instead.

That's were I started out too many years ago. Becareful because Mag Red is contagious and there is no therapy for this addiction
