Newb, 1st Post

Hello all,

I've been a casual browser here for awhile, but just now got around to registering. There are some awesome trucks on here and I have picked up a lot of ideas already. My truck is an 05 SCAB Lariat 4X2. In general I am not inclined to buy new vehicles but the incentives last year seemed too good to pass up. I am very impressed with this truck so far, and have had no problems in 18K miles except for a buggy A/C head unit. Mods so far are an Air Raid, Retrax, tint, westin step bars, and a garage door switch plumbed into where the pedal adjust button would normally go (is that considered a mod? ). Future mods may include an exhaust, leveling kit, tuner, and some 20s. I have 2 mustangs also competing for my $$ so it may take awhile . Well thanks for looking in and happy 4th.

Welcome to the site so what years are your 2 Mustangs you say you have. I had a few over the years. I would like to get another one for a 2nd vehicle but for now I just have to live having one vehicle and that is my truck.

Thanks for the welcome, I'll have pics up soon. My 2 stangs are a 92 GT and a 96 Cobra. Nothing special but they are fun cars.

Welcome brother!!

Nice truck....I really like the Wedgewood blue/tan color combo!

Nice stangs also. As you can see, I'm a bit of a stang man myself.

Question

Do you just have a momentary switch hardwired into your normal GDO transmitter, and then have the transmitter itself tucked-up underneath the dash somewhere?
