That looks great

It's crazy how simple this upgrade is but yet it looks so good better than factory

Have you noticed an increase in your remote range ?

Default Freaking awesome!

I have been shopping (hesitating to pull the trigger) on a $25 "home-link" style garage door opener on e-bay. Just never got around to buying it!

THANKFULLY, I didn't buy it. I didn't want to take on the hassle of running power.

I am heading to the garage right now to pull my garage door opener apart to get this mod done today. Can't believe I didn't see this before......

Thanks for posting this (and your other videos).

Keep up the simple / cheap / GREAT mods!

Looks good. I did the same thing in my Ranger many years ago. I hid the switch down low so no one could see it and wonder what it did. You might consider putting a relay in there so it only works when the key is on. That way no one can open the door just by pressing the button.

Looks good!

Mine is hidden behind the roll bar padding on the drivers side. It's not visible at all and doesn't affect the range. Took a whole 10 secs to install.

What a great idea! Been worried about the security issue as well with an opener lying around.

Yes the range is really good now. I can be a half a block away and open the garage now. I used to fumble with it until I was in my driveway.
