Thank god! lol! Luckily, those are next, hopefully next weekend. Well, as soon as I can find some 35's with wheels I like on craigslist, anyway

Has anybody out there ever heard of G-force performance chips? If so, are they worth it or junk? Let the JK nation be heard.

I spent the first 18 years of my life in NJ. I grew up on the ocean with a few boats in the family. Ive been living out here for 3 years and I cant think of a better place to own a Jeep. Its tough to be so far away from the ocean, but I truly love the desert now. And the fact that I dont have a speck of rust on the Jeep is a plus My dad lives right on the water and his TJ rubi's undercarriage is starting to rust to hell.

There was a thread on these things a looonngg time ago, or it may have been a part of one of the dozens of "which tuner should I buy" threads. I remember the opinion on the G-force chip was believed to be kind of "snake oil". 60hp from just a chip is a little hard to believe All the offroad magazines that conduct the real world tuner comparisons continually give Superchips the best bang for the buck on performance and options, I am not even sure the G-Force has even been tested by anyone credible in our JK world.

Edit: just visited the G-force website.....price reduced from $399.99 down to $69.00, seriuously sounds fishy.

Negative!! I am checking the forum 12.5hrs ahead of the Phoenix time zone. All things considered, my current location in Afghanistan is not too bad. I have been back at my main camp for about 10 days now, prior to that I was at an average of 8,000 feet of elevation living a hard life in the mountains for 32 days. At least I have three hot meals, a warm bed, and some internet connectivity to catch up on all you guys doing the wheeling Its the little things that make life good. I should be home mid-february, so there is still plenty of good offroading weather to enjoy. Hope you had a great Christmas!! I only ask this of you (or any PHX JK'ers), to have a gin and tonic for me

Christmas in all reality passed by like any other day does. "Too fast" Sorry you didn't make it back to be with your loved ones for the holidays... I'm sure we will have some cold drinks waiting for you when you get back... Im thinking we should do a welcome back wheeling trip to Sedona or something
