Ken,

Thanks for the note on the windshield wipers, I'm taking the X in for it's 12k check-up next week, and will get them to have a look at the low-speed motor then. Your name popped up in my neck of the woods as the cunning developer of a much needed IRWiC (I posted your reply on SOXC in case anyone else had the same issue).

At X-Mas, I drove the truck from Ottawa to Victoria and back (over 10,000km's) in 3 weeks of snow, sleet, ice-rain - you name it. There has never been a mod more needed. You *are* still selling them, I hope... can you ship to Canada? What's your preferred method of payment? Speaking of payment, I heard you were having trouble collecting some accounts - need any knee-caps tapped north of the border? :-D

Anyway - I'll take one if you'll send it. I understand it'll be a few bucks more for shipping, and that the exchange rate's a killer. Just let me know how much, and where to send the $$ (COD/even Prepaid is fine). Drop an eMail to sdjb@hotmail.com.

Thanks a ton!

PS - Since you're into this sort of thing.... another mod I'd heard about,
was a disabler for the clutch safety switch (so you don't have to hold the
clutch in when you're starting the truck). I used to do it all the time in
the army - *real* handy in certain situations - and no mod required in old
army trux. The mod I saw was basically a little round button (the kind that
glows when it's activated) on the steering column in front of the key; it
connected the "clutch-in sensor" (listen to me - pretending I knew what I
was talking about), fooling the ignition into believing it was safe to
start. The ignition would stay fooled for about 20 seconds, and then go
back to normal.

PPS - Another mod I'd love to have, is an Air-Bag disconnector. You flip it
on when you're out in the woods, and your Bull-Bar is bashing through the
brush (uhh.. gently, of course). A buddy of mine's bush-guarded Ford
Explorer Sport was moving through tall grass (saplings, knowing him) at a
fair clip and it set off his air-bag... which really sucked. Black eyes,
broken nose, broken Oakley's, dust everywhere, and a $600 bill to get it
re-packed (he fought with the dealership on it, and won, but the hassle!).
There oughta be some way of just saying "no... I don't need my airbag right
now, I *want* to bump into things". Don't ya think?
