Matt is well over 6 feet too I hear....it's ok though, I feel like that any way around my wife's family. I'm near about the biggest my family has, but her brother's are 6'0 and 6'4 and her dad is 6'3.

I wish it would let me rep you for that one!

Trying to program a PATS key with AE. Getting my butt kicked with system busy or failed error message. Time to drown some sorrows with Burger King. Does anyone happen to have any insight into this? I only found one post about it and the directions there didn't help.

The company began in 1953 as Insta-Burger King, a Jacksonville, Florida-based restaurant chain. After Insta-Burger King ran into financial difficulties in 1954, its two Miami-based franchisees, David Edgerton and James McLamore, purchased the company and renamed it Burger King. Over the next half century, the company would change hands four times, with its third set of owners, a partnership of TPG Capital, Bain Capital, and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, taking it public in 2002. In late 2010, 3G Capital of Brazil acquired a majority stake in BK in a deal valued at US$3.26 billion.
There are 233 locations in New Jersey try GPS for the directions. I hope this helps and gives you some insight..

Go Hawks (Atlanta Hawks), I'm out of the NHL if the Bruins and Pens are out, I used to like the Dedwings but no more.

Just for you Nate... "Go Senators!"

DAC and I are on the way in a few minutes to watch the MLB Atlanta Braves (4-0) get a little BP (batting practice to you hockey guys), it is spring my corn has already sprouted so forget those ice games.

New grille

New grille installed today. Not sure if I want to upgrade to the 2005+ headlights, the stock '04 lights look pretty good with the new grille.

Technically we did this Wednesday and Thursday but we drove her from CA to TN. Average speed between 80 and 85 mph. She still gave us 16 to 17 mpg.

Hooked up and washed my car hauler today, hasn't been on the road in 2 years. I took it to the trailer dealer to have the rear door restrung. The trailer is 24' long and weighs 4500 lbs empty, the Ex didn't even know it was there. I had to adjust my brake controller to the minimums because I kept locking up the rear axle.

Next week the camper goes to the dealer for a couple of items, my driveway will look so empty.

Installed the power telescoping button for my 2011 power mirrors. I used the stock button from an 08+ truck.

Only issue with the button is I should have put it on the other as it is sort doesn't make sense and my first instinct for out is to push the button to the right but that is actually the in. O well Ill get over that.

My mirror upgrade is almost completed. I have one last issue with the power fold.

What a day!

Figured out that yes in fact I did need to run the reverse wire to the head unit to get it to automatically turn to the camera when placed in reverse. I found the wire like mentioned under the drivers side rocker cover (sill plate?) it was a black wire with lavender (purpleish) stripe. I did not install a switch because I would have to also run the wire back to the camera itself to come on with the switch.

I hooked up the camera and started looking exactly where I could put it to see the hitch and behind the X. I originally wanted to put it in the third brake light but soon found out that I would not be able to see the hitch at all. So I had to put the camera in the trim piece that the lift gate handle is part of. Someone else here also put their camera in the same spot, sorry I forget who right now.

I trimmed the dash panel to fit the head unit, cleaned up the wiring a bit, got everything put back together and ready to go. I just need the ground loop isolator and I can stick the head unit in the dash and be done for now.

I have a second rca at the trailer plugs for an additional camera on the back of the TT for backing up and to watch the boat when in tow. For this camera I will just manually select "2nd video input" on the head unit. But I am wondering about the camera power itself, is it ok to leave those small cameras powered all the time while in tow? I am thinking of having the TT camper powered strait off the 7 pin so as soon as I plug in the TT the camera will be powered until I unhook it again.

No pics yet, to much going today, I'll get some when it is all done.

I don't know this from experience, but from reading reviews on Amazon and elsewhere, the rear view cameras can overheat when left on. I assume not all do though?
