    88 Fox Horn doesn't work- ground issue on horn button wiring.

    I picked up an 88 T-top and am having some trouble with it but I've got it narrowed down pretty far. So far I've ran a jumper wire directly from the battery to the horns and they operate just fine. Fuse is good. I've picked up the foam replacement kit from LMR. I got under the dash and...

    Reputable detailers in Houston

    Looking for guidance in the right direction on some reputable detailers in the Houston area to get the truck corrected and sealed. I had a shop by the house quote me 349.00 for the correction and 450.00 if I included the Cquartz. That seems a little low? I've always read to be wary of lower...

    Is IDS required to turn all the courtesy lights off?

    Is accessing the BCM or enabling the "police blackout" feature through IDS the only way to make these newer F150's stop lighting up like a Christmas tree every time you open a door? It drives me nuts I accidentally left my parking lights on the other night because I couldn't tell they were on...

    Overhead garage storage question.

    Ok SVTP architect home masters I have a question. As with pretty much all newer builders homes these idiots like to drywall the garage ceilings.

    I feel it's time for me to invest in a gun safe in the foreseeable future this year, my collection is growing to the point that I'm running out of places to keep/store them.

Everytime I do one it always winds up going into the return line and I can never get a solid flush out of...

    Suggestions removing 3M clear mirror bra

    My truck is now 11 years old, I don't know if this was a factory option back in 2003, but it looks horrible and really brings down the look of the vehicle. :cuss: I've tried everything under the sun to get this crap off minus a heat gun. Is that what it is going to take to remove it? It peels...
