Well, I thought this was a good idea, but needed a somewhat different
approach than the geek code, so I made an attempt at it. I know it's not
perfect, and I know I've left some things out. If you have a suggestion for
a section, an addition, a different way to do something, something else that
you think should be included, or just a general comment, feel free to email
me or post it here.

I agree that your method is better....let me see here...

Alex. Izsf95Ev6gfL-Ta235r75AilfoTaW-

Geeze, what about adding goodies....like: LIGHTS

- stock
BUMPER f fog lights
o off-road lights
- stock
t tube (followed by diameter) add + for every extra pair:
b brush gaurd
f front if you had 1 pair of fog, and two sets of
r rear off-road--- LIfo+
h hitch (followed by class)

so a front tube with a brush gaurd
and a stock rear bumper with
a class 3 hitch-- Bft2br-h3 updated----> RADIO

w # watts total (Peak)
+ cassette
! compact disk
!! changer (followed by # of disks)
s # of speakers
s+ # of sub-woofers

how about 100 watt stereo with cassette and
cd with 6 speakers and 1 sub woofer:
Rw100+!s6s+c(wild man)

Add it to your list if you like it...
