How did you wire it, since it's originally wired to the door switches and interior light? Pulled the interior ceiling panel down, I assume.

At 2:00 am this morning, my best friend ever left us, and I'm absolutely besides myself. My wife is truly having a meltdown, and there is no consoling her. Life feels so much more empty at this moment....

I know it's part of the price of life, and eventually will I'll be fine, but I'm not sure about my wife. I may have to seek medical attention for her if she doesn't recover from this, as she's taken this harder than I've ever witnessed anyone before...


RIP my dear Pita. See you on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge....

Left at 4am this morning and Drove a 500 mile and 15 hour rounder today to go pick up my 85 Ramcharger....with factory "Sno Commander" option! Has a plow on the front end as well....not sure if it's the OEM one, but it works so that is all I care about. Will update tomorrow after I get some sleep.

T-man,
So sorry to hear of your loss,
I just recently lost my Husky few months ago and I still cannot go in a pet store or walk out back where she stayed.

Within weeks I also lost my dad and my mom had a heart attack while at the hospital with him.

This getting old stuff sure sucks.

Thanks..

Sorry about your pooch, dad, and your mom's illness. Hopefully she's doing okay. One of the strangest things I've ever experienced was when my mom died back in January 2013. Not only was I upset and saddened by her passing, but for the first time in my life I could say that I didn't have a mom. It was, and still is, a strange feeling when your parents die, for me that is...

Make sure you hug your mom and tell her that you love her as much as possible. Not a whole lot of time given to us, as humans...

When I was a kid, my older brothers used to play a prank on me and asked if I wanted to play "52 card pickup" ?

I guess I fell for it a few times. To this day, I still hate that game !!!


Note to self..... 3 hours wasted because you forget to lock two clips on the container bin.... and go over a bump....

Thank god I had that cardboard on the ramp......

Your new game "5200 fastener" pick up looks like a pretty lame way to spend 3 hours.
