Talking Electric door locks

So i just finished installing a set of electric door locks..... It was just a genaric pair that i bought from a guy that got them from ebay. It was really easy to install, and they work GREAT. I swear i could sit there for hours ppushing the buttons watching them lock and unlock.. Haha I will have pictures later.

Thats why you just leave the passenger side up, roll down your window & open your wing window, and slide the back window open. Hope you got A/C, you've been spoiled with the modern amenities.

I just think it's cool to have stuff not every truck has. That's one of the reason's I did the serpentine belt conversion.

What kind of stereo? I put in a Sony that I got new for $120 at BestBuy. You can plug in a flash drive and play music from that. Probably the best thing Ive bought for my truck. I use it every time I drive.

I wonder if there is a way to do this without having those screws being seen?? Other than that great install I've been wanting to do this for awhile. But between gas for the dd and college haven't really had time or the money lol.
