ha! Wonder if that's an eBay or Craigslist purchase!

Seriously though... I never got into chipping. We did buy a reprogrammer for the Jeep and that made a significant difference. But never really "chipped" a vehicle before...

He owned an RL. Didn't even realize we had a forum for that.

037 has 4,860 posts. Most of them in the 2G RL forum.

Guess I only remember the troublemakers.

Those pics were originally posted in the 2G RL forum some time back. I think I may have thanked Leo at the time for "taking one for the team" as he knew it was a scam. I remember the thread fairly well.

For everyone else, I am surprised that in these days when people can do a simple Google or Bing search to find that this is a scam, these things are still available.
