I'd say put it on the FAQ...it'll help a lot with people...I know I want a three pod set up...right now I have two singles and it looks ok, but not great

Bigtime Kudo's Mayfair, It's descriptive illustrations like yours here that give confidence and worthy suggestions to the meek and timid shade tree mechanics like me. I'm not much on digging my hands into them, but I sure love driving em' ( Especially the ones that float! )

Good job, brings back memories.

I'm right now removing the turbo system from my Mazda 3.

It was fun, now it's time to have fun with the Ram!

Ten hours sounds about right since I really took my time. The night was PERFECT weather wise and time just got by me. I got started at about 7:30 or so tuesday night and I went to bed at about 3:30. Wednesday all I really had to do was find my light wire, tap into it, put the dash back together and split loom the lines after confirming that everything was OK. As usual, I started suffering from the " Might as Wells" while doing the job. Like ... Since I'm doing all of this wireing, I " Might as Well" wire up my Garmin. And since I have the dash apart, I "Might as Well" clean everything else all up with F-2000 or whatever it's called.

Bottom line, I took my time because I was having fun. I took all of the pics because I too was a little intimidated ( mostly about cutting up my stock pillar ) so I figured I'd take a bunch of pics to help the next guy who feels the same way. I'm glad to see that you guy's are digging it !!
