Yeah, I like this one.

This is the first 4X4 since I sold mine that makes me wish I had got another.

Fairly easy process, you dont have a cigar lighter afterwards, but you tap into your starter and ignition wire, tie in the push button switch to the circuit, and there ya go. That route will make it so your keys wont start your truck and only the button will. So I installed a switch in the circuit to bypass the button, and a flip of a switch both the keys and button will start. If you want a step by step just PM me

It was beautiful down here in Houston today, so I took the day off and washed, clayed and waxed my daily-driver '09 Ranger. Hooked the ipod up to my stereo out in the garage and enjoyed excellent tunes all day, and even took a little break around lunchtime to head out and grab some good Texas barbeque!

It was a great day.......

Realized how easy it is to get the map light panel w/ roof switch down when done correctly.

I installed my Cobra 29 LX LE last night. Hardest part was cutting away part of the dash tray to mount it in. Now I just gotta find a place to mount the mic.

Changed my my belt and idlers for Goodyear Gatorback stuff. Hopefully no more cold morning chirping and hard shift squealing.
