Well, I'm Back
Whats up guys? Im finally back. Its been a ROUGH couple of months for me. Long story short, my lil bro has had some run ins with the law and has gotten mixed up in some stuff he shouldnt have. So ive been dealing with that, along with finals for school, and a whole bunch of other stuff. My trucks been put on the back burner as far as the system goes, but ill update that sometime this weekend with what lil I have done.
A few weeks ago I was involved in an accident. Some D-bag was tailgating my GF, and i was behind him, on a two lane road. She slowed down to the speed limit, hoping he would go around her. He got SUPER close to her rear end, so he slammed on his brakes, and i slammed on mine. I got real close to him as he slowed down to about 30 (in a 55). I backed off to about 2 1/1 car lengths. He never sped back up, so i floored it and started to merge to pass him on the left. Right as I did that he slammed on his brakes, and right up his tailpipe i went. The left front of my truck hit the right rear of his. He spun around, so i was essentially pushing him like a bulldozer. When we stopped his wheels were about 4 inches off the ground.
His car was jacked, I was pissed, so I walked away from him, and didnt get pics of his car. It was an 03 Maxima. My bumper was bent just enough to cause the valence to rub on my tire. I have a gouge in my fender, my headlight surround is cracked, and a few scratches on my corner light. My camber ( i think ) is now positive. The top of the tire tips in a lil bit, and my steering wheel has rotated about 90 degrees off where it should be. I got out of it easy. When my phones done charging Ill get a few pics up of it.
Anyway, i owe some people an apology, starting with Patman. I got the overlay boxed up to send back to you, and then i totally forgot about it until I saw it this morning. I am SO sorry. It will go out tomorrow morning.
Jake, ive still got some of those lights if you need them. Let me know.
Anyways, its good to back.

Hope everything works out for ya man. Who was at fault in the accident?
And I'd love some of the LEDs if you still want to send them. Pm or email me and I'll get you the address and we can work out the details
