Ski Edition said:
OK, put me on the list!!  As far as me showing up may be a different story.  I'll talk to Mrs. Ski and maybe grovel a little and make promises I can't keep and see if I can get a little closer to being a firm attendee!!   (y)



(y) I will explain the rule about being on the list as we go along............
 
Not going to do the under lights mod. I will wreck them 4 wheeling in the winter when I get buried!

I do want to do the headrest mod! I am searching for cheap and easy mods as we speak!
 
The question I did have was does anyone know how to hard wire a radar detector that is going to be at this GTG? Again this is th wiring stuff I am not to hot at

depends on wether the unit is under warranty or not, if it is, then an auxillary lighter cord, if not, nothing, I would strongly suggest you put in or get an auxillary fuse box and a relay, as the wires that are in the AV are for  a specific purpose and rated so, pull to many amps off of one set of wires and you could have a melt down which is no fun at all, lol.  If your planning on adding other lights or electronic gizmos, would be a good idea.  They are about 8 bucks or so at the auto store.  I'm sure there are auto parts stores in Des Moines, lol.  This is something we can take care of there if you so desire.

No warranty to worry about! I can pick one up before or there depends on if I forget  :D
 
I have plenty of wire to make  the hookup then, think about the auxillary fuse box and relay though.

Would want to bring the truck and not sure if they have room.   ???  Can't leave home without her!!   (y)


I'm a little un clear on this?  Do you mean the Wife or Avalanche
 
I am going to open this up to people that are going to be in Des Moines first so I will not have to mess with shipping! I have a brand new chrome gas tank cover that did not look like I thought it was going to with my Harley emblems that Iw ould like to get rid of for 25$ let me know if you would like to pick it up at the GTG!

I know this is a for sale item and there is a section for that however I would like to first try and get rid of it without having to ship it!
 
Never seen that, do you ahve a picture or a link to what it looks like?
 
If you don't sell it before the GTG bring it with you, Didit talked about a swap meet.
