10-4, roger that good buddy! Damn glad I took my cage to a reputable shop to have her installed! I'll sleep much easier knowing that, especially after seeing that car after a 140+ mph crash!

Nah, I didn't have the camera mount available like last time. Still having issues powershifting the 2-3. She won't go into gear. The 1-2 and 3-4 go in fine. Hopefully more miles on it and she'll eventually let me "slip it in" if not then it'll be a hardcore 3rd gear gangbang up on dis bish!
