A good supply of resistors, relays, and extra wire also helps.

Always check info with a digital multimeter.

I promise to be good.

I've been sick lately, sorry I won't be on much.

One thing I always forget when I go on the road is a way to get wires through existing grommets and door boots. Usually I just use some heavier guage solid wire.

All I have ever used is a broken GM antenna to fish the wire through. Then again I have a fishing tool as well, but only because I believe you should have the proper tool for the right job.

LOL, but the antenna gets more use, and it was free. Its all about the McGyver in all of us.

I'm laughing with you guys! Had a fish tape since '87 and used it a total of ONCE! My trusty old custom bent wire coat hanger has served me more than its share of duty. LOL!
