I just asked about something like this in the ARB drawer thread. This may work for me. Thanks for posting!

Well, simpler isn’t ALWAYS better. I see what you’re saying. I just prefer having the actual key.

I replaced the batteries about a year and a half ago. I’ll swap them out again and see if there’s any change.

I have a question about anyone with the ARB drawers. Thread was already resurrected a couple of times, but I didn’t see this addressed. Has anyone found a specific type of box or storage container that fits where the 2nd row seats would be? I have my 2nd row removed. I know some other drawer...

You must have a newer truck with some kind of proximity feature . For my 2014, I have to touch the fob to the button first, anyway. Then I can pull it away and it’ll start. Good thing the world came out with such an innovative and much-needed starting mechanism. Turning that key was really...

Sorry I’m so slow getting back to this. The possibility of my truck being totaled has basically taken all of my attention lately. Today in Colorado I had Figs Engineerng transplant the sensors from my stock seats to the Scheel-Mann seats. Airbags are now functional again and the plethora of...

Good to know - thanks!

Well, still not done… They had to take my truck to the local dealership to replace the power steering pump and the 4x4 relay. They did a test drive and got a 4x4 death light and also noticed the truck was leaning to one side. They fixed that stuff, and I’m thankful that insurance covered it...

I forgot to add…insurance has already paid Abra Autobody. Just under $19,000 total.

Well, we’ve hit some snags. However, my truck is slated to be finished (almost) tomorrow. The snags are mainly to do with the first shop. I’ll refer to them as the shi$shop to eliminate confusion 😎. I was not present when my truck was taken from the shi$shop to Abra Autobody, but I assumed...

ABRA Autobody was doing their estimate and thought they could fix the frame. USAA gave them the go-ahead and they fixed it. Now they’re finishing their estimate without frame repairs or replacement (the first shop had included frame replacement, which is why it was a total loss in their eyes)...

Update. I’m still waiting for an estimate from the second shop. In fairness, they’ve only had it for a week compared to the previous shop. Interesting sidenote: I discovered that shops doing estimates get anywhere from $75-$200 a day for storing the vehicle. That could be why the first shop held...

Yesterday I discussed this very thing with my new friends at ABRA Autobody. As I did with my USAA claims adjuster, I explained to him that I wanted to repair the vehicle if at all possible and the reasons why. One fortunate thing for me: my brother is a supervisor with an insurance company in...

Here in Minnesota it’s 70%.

I was worried about that: about the ARB with the hoops being too big. But to my relief, it wasn’t that big or obnoxious as I expected. The pics on ARB’s website made it look huge to me, but I wanted the hoops.
