Thanks for passing that along, I can cancel my murder plans now. Good thing you mention that....I'll be in Sugar Land for Christmas.
You guys can put this down for one of my best under $50 items because I'm going to order them. It looks like most of these hooks are under $10. I had no idea.


Why wait and why spend money? Twenty penny nails into that chunk of wood (at an angle on the side NOT the top) and you have what you need....

Wouldn't it be easier to just buckle your seatbelt?

I'm just a lowly 11th gen guy here so I'm ignorant on this but can't you just turn the chime off?

LOL, yes, he could have saved himself 4$ and 2 months of waiting and read the seatbelt section in the manual there is a quick 4 step process and you can disable the chime and warning. I see a lot of people disabling it in Forscan but again, there is a procedure to do this in the manual.

Again not sure why you just wouldn't wear the seatbelt. However this is an option to disable. If maybe you were hauling something. I have had mine come on before when had a case of water in the passenger seat. Thinks someone is sitting in there. I guess if you regularly had a tool bag or something that sat there you might want to disable it.

Could be he has land he drives around on. I generally take mine off unless I'm doing something where I should be wearing a seatbelt. In that case we generally just buckle the belt behind us, i.e. when we're at my buddy's lease.

Could it be when you turn the chimes off it only works while driving. I do where my seatbelt, but UNLESS YOU PUT YOUR SEATBELT ON BEFORE YOU PUT YOUR KEY IN THE IGNITION it still chimes, regardless with Forscan or the click/unclick 100x trick. The first thing I did was read the manual on the "Chime-minder," but for some unholy reason the people that did the chimes were like "yeah, lets make an option to turn the chimes off while driving, but damn it not if they just get in their truck, F that."

Thats the first thing I though when I read he listened to the chime for two months waiting. My second thought was (and I guess this makes me a bad person) wouldn't it be funny when you actually do wear the belt and you get in an accident and that cheap piece of china crap breaks and you go through the windshield anyways

Most of the stuff I get from China only takes a couple of weeks to get from Hong Kong to Chicago, then it takes another 6 weeks to get from Chicago to Kentucky!!!
