    No respect...

    I am not an expert but anything that is strong enough to just remove bugs or tar will take off your wax too.

    Extra Aux Switches Anyone??

    The more I look the more I like the Narva switches but I cannot find a US distributor. I emailed the company for info on how to buy.

    Extra Aux Switches Anyone??

    Redneck, where on the Whelen site did you find that? I found some other switch bank options: 4WD - Products - Narva Sealed L.E.D Switch Panels - Products - Narva Flip-up 8-Switch Panel for Sport Racing Car (DC 12V) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme 10pcs/lot ABS Plastic Face Panel 12V/24V 6...

    Relocated my trailer plug receptacle

    Just did mine. Took about an hour to get it all done and cleaned up. Grinding the welds off to remove the bracket is a bit of a pain as there is no maneuver room until the bracket is off.

    Slacker's VHF/UHF Radio Install (pic heavy)

    It did but it is designed to come apart to fit through smaller spaces. The main threaded collar just unscrewed.

    Slacker's VHF/UHF Radio Install (pic heavy)

    Finally got the replacement RJ45 jack and got it mounted. It looks MUCH better than the original one.

    I picked it and the location because of your post. Even pimped your install

    Slacker's VHF/UHF Radio Install (pic heavy)

    The only part I really struggled with was the external speaker. Where was I going to mount this thing that it wasn't an eyesore but could be clearly heard? The simple answer is nowhere but I didn't like that answer. This is what I came up with. The speaker is mounted on my windshield directly...

    Slacker's VHF/UHF Radio Install (pic heavy)

    After taking the faceplace off of the radio I spent some time trying to find places where the head unit would not only fit but be able to get ventilation, and a location that supported mounting without making any holes. My goal was to install the radio with as little damage to the truck as...

    Slacker's VHF/UHF Radio Install (pic heavy)

    I finally got around to ordering and installing a radio. Hopefully some of the things I did will help someone else, or maybe you will see something I could have done better. Parts used listed below. Almost everything was ordered from GigaParts.com: Kenwood TM-V71A with MARS/CAP Mod Kenwood...

    FORD in a Rush to the finish?

    I have lots of spots where the white doesn't cover the primer. Mostly down facing surfaces like the top of the headlights. Thinking about complaining to the dealer because there are a lot of places where I see through the paint. Only have 6,000 miles.

    Radio programming information

    Does anyone know if you can add a receive freq without adding a transmit freq? This would be for things like police bands where I want to be able to listen but not accidentally transmit.

    Radio programming information

    Well that isn't going to make things easy.. Thanks for the samples though. I got the MARS/CAP mod when I bought it.

    Radio programming information

    So I want to start a thread for 2 reasons: First, I can't find the info anywhere else. Second, I know I can not be the only guy that is lost... I see freqs posted for various rides. Some radios can be set up from the radio, others require programming through a computer. What I am hoping to do...

    New Release - TMX Covert Bed Cage

    you mention floor jack mounts... how about a high lift? Also could you add a place to put a PowerTank mount on the back side?

    Icom ID-880H Install (Lots of Pics)

    What would you charge to make one? I have an Extang Solid Fold so I would need a bracket about an inch taller. Also interested in knowing what antenna you have.

    Kenwood ham radio install - Pic heavy

    Questions for the OP about the radio and antenna install: 1) You link to a general page for the antenna mount and antenna, and list models that don't exactly match the products. So is the antenna/mount an NMO or PL-259? 2) What is the antenna connector on the radio? PL-259? 3) Did you have...
