Default PowerWire

Hey guys,
I tried the power wire today. I made my own. I was pretty impressed, Wasn't really expecting a change at all, And there was a difference at least by seat of my behind.

I got to thinking, Why isn't there a power wire with a selector switch. Anyone ever see something like that? I would love to be able to turn off the powerwire w/o unplugging it.

I have heard this idea bounced around before but I don't know if anyone ever made it. Hey, you might be able to make one and start selling them

Hmm, Don't know if I could get off my lazy butt to mass produce them... Besides I couldn't bring myself to sell them for than $30 shipped, Anything more is just a scam IMHO.

But, I may give one a try for my own amusement. I was also thinking of a NEG battery disconnect switch in the fender wall, So I wouldn't have to pull the stinking terminal everytime I wanted to do something electrical to my truck.

RED06Ram, You can, Just send me one freebie to test out for giving you the idea.

I didnt mean say that you were imagining it, although I doubt you took it that way. But i want to know, how did you make your own power wire? Is there a thread... oh wait, i better search before the firing squad gets me...
