i wanna trunk popper!...wait..i have an elky...
it does give me an idea tho.. what if you could find some pnumatic cylinders like for the rear glass on some suvs and some how rigged the trunk popper inside the tail gate to pop it open and shave the handle on the inside. and if ya had a hard tonneau cover with some pnumatic cylinders on that, you could make a catch on the tailgate that would hold the tonneau down untill it got popped and then the tailgate and the tonneau cover would open up at the same time. that would be awesome. now i have to draw it...

Thanks big bro Warren for posting that vid for me!! Good looking..

So got out the trunk popper today and was having problems, kris was on the phone with me and we had everything connect right but just wasing popping!! 🙁
Went to go hang out with " LILDUDEFL" today after so many attemps, he hooked me up with a steering wheel, since my other wheels all cracked and sticky..good looking! He also had a trunk popper and showed me how to test it..so came home and tested it on battery and it does pop!!! Well the popper didnt have enough ground touching trunk latch cuase it has alot of paint...so tomorrow will grind that down and it will up and going " fo sure"..

But know my brake light are no working when i press the brake...i chked the #10 fuse and it was popped!! I changed it and still no brake lights...i will ck the bulbs again., but they are all brand new...since i meesed with the wiring in the back might have did something wrong...im sure i connected everything right..not hard to do..

What a day..if it anit one thing its another...keep yall posted..

Get yourself a test light it helped me get through a ton of wiring today. Sounds like something minor if they were just recently working
