    XM radio

    I bought the SkyFi units for my daughters - the unit came with the car adapter and I paid for the home kits' extra. Paid like $39 or $49 each set directly through the XM website - Christmas special I guess. My daughter just stuck the antenna on her dash until I got around to mounting it...

    Phone Call You Hate To Get -

    Thanks everyone :) Talked to them both tonight - they got released and my soon to be sister-in-law who is a nurse is taking a few days to stay with them until they can manage better. Good way for her to score brownie points :sweet They are going to be sore for awhile but nothing wrong...

    Phone Call You Hate To Get -

    Felling pretty good - cleaning the truck and getting ready to watch the game - when I come inside and notice I got like 15 phone messages - all from my brothers and sister. Parents were coming home from church when they got side swiped - guy crossed the line and caught my parents Ford van...

    Opinions..

    I'm sure that sucks! I had one as a loaner when my truck was in for service - damn thing couldn't get out of it's own way :eek: Buying a used diesel can be an adventure - esp since you don't know how it was taken care of. Diesel's are beasts that love to work - but not be abused. Anyway -...

    KING RANCH OWNERS - I called King Ranch -

    As an update - yesterday I started applying "boot oil" (Filson) to the very front lower part of the passenger seat. So far it's looking real good. It's all getting sucked up in no time and the color is starting to come back. I plan on several more coats and then finishing up with a regular...

    Thanks :sweet I'll redo it during half-time - still don't remember it being the yellow wire - but then again I can't remember what I ate for lunch yesterday :eek: Ron

    Freakin TTM - Help?

    Decided to clean up the wires under the dash - ya know solder and heat shrink instead of the butt connectors before it all got to far out of hand. Of course I didn't write anything down - cause I'll remember :rolleyes: So now I can't find my notes on what wire to connect the "ignition" wire...

    New Truck Same Noises

    Congrats on the new truck :thumbs Silly as it may sound - I chased a click/clack noise coming from the left rear that drove me crazy for months. Ended up it was the seatbelt slapping against the pillar. Worth a shot at checking. That moan you hear is most likely caused by the sucking...

    burlwood dash kits?

    Take your time with this - really. Properly installed I would rather buy a new truck than try to remove the kits. Spend the money on a good high quality kit and really study as many up close pictures as possible. I actually spent more money on the current kit than I did on the first (01...

    burlwood dash kits?

    On my last truck I went with the 20 some odd parts - but this time I went with the less is more theory. I installed the kit by Husky Liner - and it matches perfectly. Not a lot of parts - what you see in the picture and then more to the left and on the door handles - that's it. I installed...

    KING RANCH OWNERS - I called King Ranch -

    As stated - I called King Ranch this morning and was transferred to a lady to speak about caring for our seats. First thing she said to note was our seats are made of raw leather that is not sealed or treated - it's exactly the same leather they use on their saddles. She said that they...

    Lightning protection

    Build it under some really tall trees :D :D :D Seriously though - I think there is some truth to the fact that the protection does attract. My parents house stood for twenty years before it got hit by lightning - Dad promptly installed rods, cables and grounds. After that it seemed like...

    Aux. Back up lights

    I also used a switch and not the reverse circuit - one - so they come on only when I want them on and - two - if I am working behind the truck I can turn them on to see what I'm doing. I used round lights - cause if square or oblong are used, it's hard to get them perfectly level and just...
