    @Teke, is this what you're thinking of. These were $2 at a truck stop and work well haha.

    I was just looking at some of the off the shelf versions. All those cables are is outboard boat motor control cables. Seems pretty straightforward to do the mod. Look reliable as hell too.

    Sorta. I was thinking of actually mounting it directly to the body though. Or removing the headlight filler piece and do a single row one there

    I had the cashier at the Pick-n-Pull argue with me and absolutely insinuate that this was a relay.

    I should’ve agreed with her. I would’ve saved a dollar.

    But proving her wrong was worth another dollar.

    Drivers door won’t stay shut. Any body have this problem? As far as I can see the latch operates the same as the working passenger side.

    Mine won't close all the way unless I slam it. Does yours open while your driving?

    Well it's not my best work, I don't think I have the best wire choice for joining mild steel to 304 stainless, but I leak tested it and it didn't blow any bubbles.

    Not really. My nephew said the truck looked like the cop car version for a truck. With the black cap and bumper and dark tint, I agreed. Next thing I knew a label got slapped on there. Its a work truck, so I didn't care.

    I do get a lot of people asking the same thing you did.

    The Tundra's are stupid fast even without the supercharger, so I left it.

    No like I shut the door and it just bounces open. The latch doesn’t hold it in place at all
