Planning to get Gibson Ridge GRLevel3 and upgrade my main workstation in the next couple weeks as well as maybe get some radios if/when finances allow.

Thats nice... Im kind of surprised to see so many people who actually equip their vehicles with warning lights. The safer the better I say. LOL! Pics of my Explorer can be found at the myspace page listed in my signature.
