And a single core processor. Try to at least get the 4S and you get the dual core

Any one use this setup before? Since I've got to replace the upper bushings on my shocks, figured I might as well go with this setup.

There are dead spots for Sprint, clearly your GF's family is in one.

I live in a dead spot for T-Mobile.

My brother lives in a dead spot for Verizon.

The point is that everyone lives or works in a dead spot for one provider or the other, just do due diligence and get a provider that has coverage where you will need it the most.

IPhone 4 = SLOW

Slow compared to what?

Yeah slower than the 4S.

But hey I have a 4S and it sucks because it is slower than the iPhone 5.

Truth be told the iPhone 4 I gave to my daughter was more than fast enough for my needs, why I went with the 4S is beyond me.

I may blow it away and get a Samsung Galaxy SIII just to try something new!

Anyone see any reason not to weld the light brackets to a bumper as a theft deterrent? I'm having a hard time justifying $30 for PIAA light locks.

weld the brackets and unless a midget or a Vietnamese child comes along with a wrench or grinder it takes a good while to get the lights off the brackets.

Just ask Tim, he has tried to steal my PIAAs a few times

i need some guidance on two things that are going on with the jeep..

#1.. i did an oil change on the jeep over the weekend and now my oil pressure gauge stopped working...

#2.. i know i have mentioned this before but.. has anyone here have or had pro comp mud terrains? i still can not grip in the rain, i slide everywhere. we cut the tread on the rear tires to see if that would help the water flow and it had little impact... we bought some sand bags last night to add some weight to the rear and still nothing. even when its not raining i can lay some rubber down just trying to leave from a stop on a slight slope of a hill.

anyone have any other suggestions i can do? or do i just need to get new tires.

Check the wiring and connector

You might just have to get new tires. That's a common complaint about Procomp MTs. It may be possible to sipe the tires enough to get better traction - you would need a groover though...

Both my MTZs and the Destination M/Ts i had before that are great in the rain. The MTZs especially so since they have a lot of siping.
