    Then you can learn how to use NCS Expert via the various threads here and elsewhere on other forums.

    Here is a decent getting started guide:

    This is the seller I bought the cable from:

    No problems. I have very little coding knowledge and I am still learning. Others here (namely BP and Terra) are coding gurus. But if you have any beginner coding questions, post them in the coding section and we can try to help you out.

    So, what're your guys opinions on a first gen dodge or chevy? I've always loved the boxy body styles, and I'm just hearing from more and more people not to get the jeep. Other suggestions have been a Bronco

    Dude I think you are overthinking this. Just take the zhp and enjoy the camp. Get rides with the other people and drive it around and enjoy it on your off days. Take it into town and keep it classy.

    It's the ultimate daily driver man. The unibody and suspension is tougher than you think. Make sure she's waxed up before you go and it'll be that much easier to wash off dust and all.

    I'd go out and get rogue engineering rear strut mounts and the BMW front strut reinforcement plates. Install those and call it a day. But even that is countered with don't be an idiot and bomb down the roads.

    I can't imagine the roads will be that bad if it's even close to being traveled regularly.

    What doe it look like online or on google earth?

    If I find a good picture I'll post it in here. And I know that it's an awesome daily driver and I love it for that, I just don't want to sandblast the paintwork while I'm there. I'll look into those reinforcements. I just can't imagine her taking any of the potholes well, my ride around town is jerky and jarring as it is:/ I also don't want to be known as the kid that brings his BMW into camp if that makes sense lol, like I personally know it's not a big deal but I know other people don't think the same way I do haha.
    Overall I'd much prefer to do the reinforcements and put the miles on her, but if it's going to cost me the price of a used truck then that's where I'm iffy.
    Thanks for the input!

    Screw what other people think. Drive slowly over crappy areas and just enjoy the car everywhere else.

    Hahaha well put, I can see myself leaning that way more and more. Any other recommendations on how to prepare the ZHP then?
    So far I've got clear bra, reinforced sway bar brackets, (sub frame reinforcement?), lighting codes, skid plate
