    No sir.. Whole family always makes sure its out of gear. You can basically wire it into the park neutral safety. It just a switch to keep you from starting it.

    Ah shucks.

    Yeah, my first attempt failed. I tried wiring it in parallel with the clutch switch so I could start it with out pressing on the clutch. The switch I used is from the older yotas. I may try to hunt down one from a newer to see if it works better.

    This is how I wired the clutch pedal on my 2001. Have to push the clutch in to start, and and it cancels the cruise. I haven't wired the dash cancel switch yet. 20170612_110134.jpg 20170612_111214.jpg 20170612_110220.jpg 20170612_110253.jpg

    Thank you. They take a lot of time and effort to make. I shortly stopped making them after all the harassing comments. Or negative feed back on "How to properly" do something. Or that I missed some information. Comments like yours makes me feel better about the work I put in. Thanks again.

    Well thats stoopid.

    I have done every task you have made a video for, I appreciate another persons insight, and being able to see shit in decent quality. Spent ~4 hours to pull my column rebuild it with bearings/bushings/joint, and got it back in and setup with a new turn signal switch, and repaired cruise switch. My biggest concern going into it was pulling the column and to see someone else do it, was a huge favor.

    Thanks homie.

    You are very welcome. I have been noticing a BIG influx of comments on my videos. I am not sure why. Shared links on TW seems to be the main reason according to the graphs. Maybe I'll start making some random videos.

    I havent read your comments, or even see on TW, a simple google/youtube search pulls em up, and they are rated G so work doesnt block them.

    Went through rattle snake canyon. Very fun trail. Got lucky and got a camp site at Holcomb Valley.

    Man I’d love to swap to a 5 speed. Having a 2.7 with an auto is terrible

    I will be doing this soon. I'm wondering if the 2003-2004 drive by wire will affect the year transmission I need. I'm 99% positive it doesn't matter but I want to make sure.

    Alabama Hills, CA BLM Camping

    Birthday girl wanted to go camping. We went to my parent's house and packed up the goodies in 30 mins. Didn't mount the shower since we were only staying one night.

    X7BHis6SPd-TB_5EOQ2ZuxVM49l_IdAi7x-OB4uR_e1feb3aa407fcd9a07a5539e9eec69ea724d1a22.jpg

    5pm and ready to roll out.

    First stop. McDonald's 3750 Sierra Hwy, Acton, CA 9351

    wTfw6DmyiG9UwTmDoeTeCkKzLazg8eY5Ul6gWRlx_321a43c614cbe9b082d960aa3c8b2be60258698f.jpg

    OH BOY! Eating this will probably be a bad idea.

    Few more hours of driving and we needed some fuel. Stopped at this shell.

    16048 Sierra Hwy, Mojave, CA 93501

    Finally made it to camp. We didn't even need any lights because the moon was so bright. Taken with Samsung S7

    We forgot to charge our Canon... Here is another S7 photo:

    More from the cell phone. Temps reach around 36-40 deg at night. However, there were no winds so we kept fairly warm in hour Tepui Tent.

    This was a great view to wake up to.

    Tried to see if I like the tent flipping out the rear of the truck... We both did not like this set up. We will continue to have driver or passenger drop.

    Packed up and went on a hike. Mobius Arch Loop Trail Head

    After that we did some scouting for our next camping trip.

    We also found that frog guy at the entrance. We wish we had more time to explore the area.
