I finally found a company in Kissimmee, FL that sells auxiliary port adapter harnesses.

Unfortunately, the harness I received did not work on the F150. Its designed to work through the factory CD changer and even though the head unit was CD changer capable, once I tore the dash apart, there was no factory CD changer data cable.

Had to go to plan B, a FM Modulator. Much better than a FM transmitter as the modulator is hardwired into the radio via the antenna. It also disables FM transmissions for a static free and clear sound while using the auxiliary port.

An antenna adapter kit for the modulator. Titanium step drill bit for drilling two 3/4" holes in the dash for the auxiliary port and the on/off switch for the modulator. A replacement 7/64" cobalt drill bit to replace my one that snapped drilling out a bolt.

Due to @Mounce recent issue, picked up a spare shift linkage bushing to keep in the truck.

Got myself a micro jump starter for the EXT. I usually have a jumper box in the cargo section, cuz for some reason when I've gotten stuck places with a dead battery, no one wants to help a brutha out. :mad:

Saw this brand on one of those car shows forever ago, and was gonna get the next model below this one, but this one was marked down to the same price, and since more is better...

Comes in a handy carry case.

Wall charger, car charger, and various laptop plug adapters.

Phone charger adapter

Jumper cable adapter

Various connections on the side.

By itself, It's just slightly larger than my SG Note II, so it could fit in a pocket if I needed it solo, but I'm pretty sure I'll keep it in the carry case with all the accessories. :yes:

Someone please help me, my mod bug is out of control!! :whiteflag:

New greasable Upper & Lower Ball joints and Upper Control Arms. The way they packaged everything together was kind of odd, but I guess they did it this way to protect the Ball Joints from damage. Much appreciated Prime Choice.

UCA's are going to be modified to adjust the ball joint angle back to normal position.

---In my mail I have some winter tires for the car on the UPS truck for delivery. Hopefully they work as good as the reviews.

Got the New M.2 NVME SSD for my new desktop build and a 32GB USB 3.0 flash drive to install Windows off of, 10 MINUTES from first turning on the PC to Loading to the Windows Desktop, Yeah it installed Windows THAT fast. the package with NVME drive even came with something unexpected, a 30 DOLLAR gift card to Blue Apron.

Not exactly in the mail, but this was on my desk when I got in my office this morning. I'll let you guys stew on what it is what it is for a bit before I show you with installed pics :wink:

Got these to replace one that went missing (thanks son!) and the other that's worn. I'll also have a third spare . The other two I'll put up for sale. It was cheaper to get five than two. The remote part is empty but looks like they'll take any GMT360 remote guts.

I've been looking for one that can fit in the passenger's side cubby and can charge on DC power. Might look at this one if it doesn't require a AC wall outlet to charge. I've seen so many guys that need a jump, and these are the guys with the shot battery. So ultimately, you'll waste 1/8th of a tank letting your car idle for 20 min. smh


I got some junk mail, an excuse to play with the paper shredder I guess. Thanks US Bank!

Today, some electrical connectors. 100 male bullet connectors, 100 male push connectors, and 10 three way adapters for bullet connectors. :biggrin:

That thing, in the case, is huge. It barely fit in the glove box, had to remove everything else to get it to fit, and then put stuff on top of it. Didn't think about putting it in one of the doors, wanted to put it under the seat, but too much crap in the way. :no:

Camera's to add to my Android HU. I'll have to paint over that chrome for the rear (it was the only one I could find of this type with IR LED's).

Went home to surprise my sister for senior night last night. There was a Delco box with some coil springs in it on the front porch. I know what I'm doing this weekend finally.

My brother finally got his press working so he made and brought me one of his company logo sweaters. Yay me. Guess who is really going to make them gmtnation tee's and sweaters since everyone keeps dropping the ball on it.
