Not sure I have time in the evening for a cruz....you guys would just get me in trouble...hard enough for me to see stuff in the daylight!! I mean Altamonte's finest was by me before detection. Guess I need a V1....will you help with perm wiring? Could wire it to the mirror I guess. Anyway, it is possible I could swing by early Thur afternoon if it's finished. Keep me posted!! Randy

We wont get you in trouble...

...I would be pleased to hard wire the V1 in for you...
We need the V1, rear-view mirror mount, telephone cable, and Stu...

I provide the "Stu" part free and would wire to the light...
...but it will be done right

I you get the V-1 I will get the other stuff...

...right now Im looking at Wed evening or Thurs pm (more likely)
All the parts are in but the pully and I expect it to be in Tues...

keep in touch...

the Benny Hinn card is only good for one trip...
...so you have to renew it over and over again...

I figured for StuzCruz 4 it should be upgraded a bit...

Next Level Performance (Norris) is doing the install...

Oh did I forget..

Pics will be posted below as the job progresses...
