    That'd be great! I wanna install a cb and make my steering wheel controls work with my aftermarket head unit. I'm not very good with electrical work :eek:. Plus it would be fun to see more TW people and their rides.

    In that case, depending on how anal you wanna be, prolly the best thing to do is pull switched power from the factory radio harness using either something like this:

    (cut factory switched power wire strip the ends and then crimp in the butt connectors - very solid)

    You might also want to splice in the dash light signal the same way. Maybe.

    Or, something like this - fairly reliable, used by pros all the time, but still a little more sketch:

    http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/d....oap?ck=Search_N2160_-1_-1&pt=N2160&ppt=C0335

    Then run unswitched power and ground straight from the battery/ straight to a good ground point, and run speaker wires direct to the speakers bypassing the factory harness speaker wires.

    Obviously if you're using RCA preamp level signal to an amp, you'd bypass the factory speaker wires even if you could use the factory harness connector.

    No objection, but I don't know shit about alarms, and can't provide any guidance other than basic wiring know how.

    Sounds like there's interest. We'll see. A BIG monkey wrench in the works is that I just this morning discovered a water pipe break in my house, and all the denero I was thinking of blowing on audio equipment may be spent on water damage repairs instead. :rant: :mad: :bananadead:

    Tepui Fest was a blast. Thrive! played pretty much non-stop for a couple hours and they didn't suck.

    Friday dinner, Saturday breakfast and dinner. Sunday breakfast-chile verde, eggs, chorizo, and black beans-habanero sauce was optional and delicious. Great raffle (Jerry won a nice bag). Wheeling if you wanted, a splicing class for synth winch lines, recovery seminar.

    Great to just kick back and play with the dogs-Riley is dead to the world right now :D

    There is a white access cab with a camper shell, bronze wheels, occasionally has a RTT mounted on the camper. I always see it parked in front of a veterinary office in Granite Bay. Is this anybody on here?

    It's October. The lot ought to be filled with 2015 models by now.

    If you buy a 14 at this point, for darnedsure make sure you get a good price - like factory invoice + zero.
