    Its good to see you efforts pay off. The photo reminds me to thank you for the heads up on fire extinguishers. Mike.

    thanks mike, i get the tanks because of the fire extinguishers, my yard gives them to me to cut up because insurance wont let their guys do it, then i get to sell them back. i dont get as many of the extinguishers as i used to but i sure like them, are you still getting them?

    I am not still getting them since I've been busy mainly with ewaste and still dealing with the kidney transplant that I got about nine months ago. I am certain there are more extinguishers available just for the asking. By knowing this I am able to hold this information until I need it and can use it again.

    I am thankful for this forum and your generous contributions. I do enjoy seeing you succeed. Mike.

    Corey, just remember to kill the power (pull the hot wire) to the radios and turn on the on/off knob to drain the voltage out of the power line before pulling/cutting the wires.
    That way your not accidentally shorting out the stereo by sparking the wires on each other or on metal inside the dash. You can pop the output chips in a heartbeat.

    the very first thing we do is take off the battery, is the the same?
