So the mini max tuner has been on the truck since I'd bought it almost three years ago and due to me always being gone and basically pure laziness when it comes to the computer stuff i have not downloaded any up dates or played much with the tuner. Now fast forward to this week, i return back from another few months gone to find a garage filled to the brim with parts for the truck and the bikes so I'm super excited. I start with the bikes because i need the truck for now but i figure hey why not go ahead and install this Hypertech in line speedo cal because with these bigger tires every time i drive  to work (25 miles) I'm slowly throwing off my odometer. Well i take apart the dash after updating the little box (which on a separate note i have a Mac and the software doesn't work so i had to beg and borrow a buddies laptop) install everything all pretty like and put the truck back together. This thing works good and I'm real happy but today i decided to update my mini maxx and sure enough, install the download and it ask me "Do you want to adjust for tire size?"… My lack of research cost me $200 and too much of my valuable time.

On a side note does anyone need a speedo cal for a '07-12' chevy truck?

Firearms / Weapon mounted lights

This little dude (Viridian light and laser combo) will run you a shade under $300 bucks which is very discouraging  but my buddy swore by it so… I did and here we are. I can tell you right now that this is the best gun mounted light i have ever had the privilege of pointing into darkness. #1 It is ambidextrous with a button on each side (far back and easy to reach) that turns it on and off, pushing both buttons cycles between lighting options. #B Super bright. #3 small and lightweight, don't even know it on there until you turn it on….then you know, did i mention its really bright. #4 easy adjustable laser is one of them fancy green ones that doesn't expand over distance and burns holes thru your enemies. #E Has a strobe function that is so bright and works so well it feels like hunting home invaders in one of those haunted houses at the fair (doubles as a lethal weapon if the home invader is epileptic). They make holsters for it if thats what you're into (i think they want your left arm and first born). All joking aside it is easy for me to say that this is a great choice to slap on the nightstand gun. Purchase one of these and enjoy sunlight and anytime of day.
Your lighting options are as follows
-Light
-Light (strobe)
-Laser
-Laser (pulse)
-Light and Laser
-Light (strobe) and laser
-Light and Laser (pulse)
