That would be great! I'm looking forward to it. If my wife travels to NC on company business, I will try to come up, too.

Haha. You say you're joking, but that's the truth.

And you guys say FTE is like family. I have news for you. It's not.

FTE is way better. If I'd asked my brother to help me with an exhaust and gauge install he'd have ended up throwing a temper tantrum halfway through and some important (and likely expensive) part would've ended up flung against a wall because of all that wiring.

Here is the extent of my wiring knowledge: When you touch a wire and you go "BZZT" it means that's where the power is coming from.

And if you are tightening battery connections keep your hand on the end of the wrench or you're going to have a home-made welder.

Both lessons learned the hard way.

Damn............lol. He has to keep warm up there somehow I suppose.


Nice job guys. It took me all day to install mine. But I was also interrupted by my buddy several times because he was having battery problems.

Reps to you Pete. I tried to rep Jim but no luck.
