    De-Flapped, De-badged. Sockmonkey decals installed.
    Washed the truck front to back, top to bottom. The first wash of the year. Polished the chrome wheels. Still need to do the interior. Maybe next weekend. I wanna have the wheels re chromed. Have all these pits in them from the road salt.

    haha, I've had the system kicking around for about a month now and finally decided to install it. installed a field proximity sensor on the back cab wall in hopes of maybe using it to secure anything that might be in the bed a little, but I think my CB antenna amplifies its sensitivity WAY too much now matter how low I adjust it. all you had to do was be within sight of the truck and the alarm would go off, lol. so I had to unplug that... just going off the shock sensor.

    it's an older Python 881XP that I picked up used, but I got the entire system for less than $30 and it really does all I need it to do; monitor the doors, shock sensor, and the remote start is just a plus, lol

    probably going to have to try a different bypass though; this one is prooving to be finicky... not wanting to work sometimes. stick a key in the ignition though and it'll fire right up, but I'm not about to just leave a key in the ignition every time just to be sure :p

    [QUOTE="OldManTan";6709496]That's why I paid to have it installed. Good job on your part, I just don't have the patience.[/QUOTE]

    if I ever have to install one in something else, I'll pay for someone else to do it, lol

    I have done an alarm, and didn't think it was too bad. But my buddy did a remote start and it took him like 8 hrs. Screw that, my time is worth more than that. I dropped my truck off yesterday at 9:45 am, picked up at 1:30. A lifetime warranty too!! And I painted my summer rims in the meantime. It was worth it to me.

    yeah the alarm itself is pretty simple; it's when you get into all the IGN 1 and 2 lines, starter outputs, and so on and so forth that things get a little crazy, and then trying to get all those THICK wires to tuck away under the dash...
