when we do this for our high school youth group at church, I always box up an opened bag of potato chips and a ham sandwich with a bite taken out the kids are always looking forward to who is gonna get the "Hammy"...and it always gets eaten! I just regret that I will probably still be in Alaska or just getting home and getting some much needed family time.

My dash switch does that, if I just push the button to turn them off, they will start to go down then pop back up! I have to hold the switch in the off position until they are all the way down. I said all that to say this: if you already replaced hers and that was not the problem, does that mean you have an extra for sale?

If I did that right, that will link you to what I am using

I do not have a spare tire so I just put this in the spare tire well (it does not go all the way down) and put a couple sheetrock scews through a fender washer and screwed it down. I also put a couple of holes in the bottom so I could run the cables staight down through the bottom of the box and out. looks very clean with the side post battery. since I don't have the stuff to relocate the battery yet, it makes a great storage area

BTW it sits low enough that the sunroof still fits in its spot, although I have not tried with the lid to the box actually on the box

Don,
 I would be interested in some of those cables to relocate the battery, I already have a box installed but was trying to save up for cables. How much would yours be?  BTW. I just bought a battery box for a boat from wal-mart, put it in place and popped a couple screws in the bottom. comes with a lid too.

well, no new pictures to post yet, but I will soon. it snowed 2 inches last Sunday and has been from the teens to the high 20's. driving here stinks because they plow the roads but do not salt them because it attracts moose. You just put it in 4 wheel drive and go really slow. they do put gravel at the intersections but it doesnt do much good because the ice melts a little from the cars driving on it then it re-freezes over night so you just have frozen gravel! Drove 45 minutes north and up 1400ft in elevation and tried some snowboarding at an abandoned mine called Independance Mine in the small town of Hatchers Pass, had about 18 inches of snow there. we only came out with one injury, one of my workers dislocated his shoulder, he thought that since he went down the hill a few times, he was good enough to hit a small jump, the jump was okay but the landing...... . anyways our contract will be finished by next week and I was preparing to come home......WAS,but we just got awarded another contract, so looks like the next meeting I will be at will be next year .

will post pics later

Wish I had a picture of mine, it ha two cupholders side by side and a little storage cup, it is designed to wedge in between the seats but I attatched mine to the center by the shifter and it puts the cups pretty much on top of the passenger side ash tray.
