Oh man, Blaine. It's quite rare when you make a grammatical error...

I caught it and fixed it before you replied. My mistakes are due to the way I type which is looking at the screen and talking in my head. Then I see what I typed and have to go fix it.

No need, Blaine has already corrected it - likely without even seeing my little jab. I do that all the time. I'll be looking at posts I've written years ago and see a typo - and damn if I don't take the time to correct it.

Irks me to no end when I find my mistakes which are usually in a quote.

Okay thank you. Since it wasn't deleted at least the radio info is still there

The original was from SSV and we replaced it with the one from Memphis because there is no fader function in the SSV unit. If you don't need a fader, that one is for sale.

I've gone through a lot of battery tenders. I've got mowers, tractors, vehicles, motorcycles... they're all mostly cheap crap.

Yeah that other community doesn't mess around with cheap stuff, but the wiring harnesses are better quality as well.

CTek has long been the standard for AGM for those not using the one Porsche sells to the unsuspecting dentist.

NOCO or the Battery Tender 4.5Amp sold at Costco are more popular for the folks doing LiFePo batteries (Anti-gravity $$$$).

Good to know, really I like to dream about this stuff but preparing for the sand hollow trip is already eating all my consumable income for months

Your tires are too close together for SH.

Well hopefully it is still a good time even if I have to bypass a lot of stuff

An ejection port like on fire trucks would be cool. Turn the ignition and the cord gets popped out of the recepticle!

C'mon man...I don't need more projects right now.

Great idea, @ShredAZ!
Tell us about the tuner/BT receiver setup you have here, sir... I'm intrigued.

Check it out! I did a mini write-up on Reddit. I've been meaning to do a more in-depth how-to on this forum. Let me know if you have any questions.
