  2. All Transit Connects are imported into The U.S.A. as wagons. Then they are stripped and converted into vans. I suppose you could source the parts, and reverse engineer the process. Then you will hve to worry about your cargo going through the glass.
  3. It was like that time that I fought Jimmy Lester. His girlfriend was in ring before the fight. She came over to my corner, gave me a hug & kiss, and wished me good luck. Lester and I made eye contact. He was just as baffled as I.
  4. At the moment, it's triggered by the reverse lamp. I have tinted windows, so it helps when I turn my head and look over my shoulder. I suppose that if I wanted, I could wire as many of those little lamps as I want, on any part of the car, and wire them to a toggle switch. Or I could wire them in tandem with the interior lights ad mount them under the edge of the vehicle, so that the ground around the floor lights up when the doors open.
  5. I'm still discombobulated. It's one of the strangest things I've seen.
  6. Let me save you a dollar. You can tear out one page in the book. Tail lamp, brake lamp, reverse lamp, turn indicator, and rear marker........ALL WIRES ARE BLACK! Thank you, Ford Engineers.
  7. JH, I'll have to look out for your van in The City. You'll know its me, if you pull up behind me, and see the 2 LED lights mounted above the license plate. Try powering your air compressor from the auxiliary junction box. It's in the passenger side rear quarter panel.
  8. Buckethead, Go ahead and check the passenger side rear corner panel of your vehicle. That is where I found mine. As far as I know, they all have them. Otherwise, where else would they run power for all those items. I'll see you around town.
  9. A lot of cursing, and a 12 pack of beer later.
  10.

  11. Notice that the negative line on the reverse lamp runs to the signal lamp.
  12. By the way, Thanks Ford Engineers for making every wire a black wire. I marked off the positive and negative wires for anyone who might be interested. Then ran my power lines through the OEM rubber grommet. Do not be afraid of using plenty of silicone and making a mess to ensure that you've sealed up the cut you made to run the wires.

  15. Better than my plan. Old school, cut down piece of MDF, OSB, or plywood. Now i want to rip out my seats just to get a mat.
  16. I saw the article in Popular Mechanics a couple of years ago. I also considered range, availability of charging stations, and charge time. You simply can't drive 60 - 90 minutes, then look for a charging station, and wait 6 - 8 hours for a "fill up". Of course, since then, the technology has gotten better. But your charge time is still longer than the drive time. Give me a car or bike that takes 10 minutes to charge, then allows me to go for about 300 miles / 5 hours @ 60 MPH. Oh yeah. That already exist. A conventional gasoline car that fills up in 10 minutes, and goes better than halfway to L.A. I thought Zero was going out of business because of flat sales. Nobody bought them, except for Santa Cruz P.D. They were listing around $6K, and I think they were giving $2K rebates to bring it down. Too bad the technology simply isn't there yet. Just like that bike built in S.F. that uses gyroscopes and stays up by itself. Can't balance a bicycle? No problem. This one actually stays up on it's own. Great for drunks who can't walk. Couple that with self driving technology, and I am ready to party. Here you go, buddy. This was today. Just for you.
  17. Sounds like an excuse to just simply buy another car. Trade it in for next year's model.
  18. I would make you an offer on the bike if I had room to park it. Living in The City, parking is a challenge. I already have a bike in the garage, and I'm forced to park 3 cars on the street. On some days, I park and walk 1/2 mile back to my front door. Living in The City, big bikes just aren't as practical. I was actually looking at one of those new small Harleys with the 500 CC motor. And I've been thinking about a dual sport. But again, no parking. Can't stock up on toys when I have no place to put them. I had two two bikes. And a boat. I kept the Harley, but gave up the sports bike and the boat. I felt like an idiot towing that boat around the neighborhood every 3 days, looking for another place to park it.
  19. When I slide the 3rd row seats forward, I'm able to store a folding wheelchair behind the 3rd row. But I guess that all depends on the specs of the chair.
  20. There's a great video that instructs you to not read the instructions, then proceeds to instruct you on how to do everything wrong.
  21. Ha! The great Wal*Mart good vs. evil debate could go on forever too. Wal*Mart now carries Royal Purple. Oil filters are another hot topic. Guys will buy a special tool for cutting oil filters open so that they can inspect the insides. Cut open a few new filters, and you will discover that they are not all the https://www.amazon.com/Longacre-Oil-Filter-Cutter-LA77750/dp/B005S39PWSsame. Cut open a few used filters, and you might see what the filter did after XXXX miles of use.
