He said he was using the rock for raised garden beds.  I showed him how mine were constructed and said I needed about 20 more sacks of dirtI was showing him the dashcam I had bought and the features it had and the rear camera I had mounted on the tailgate and then asked him what he would charge me for helping me run the wire to the camera and hooking up the backup feature.  He said about as much as you charged me to pick up the free rock.  Well I was grinning from ear to ear at that time and explained due to all my injuries and degeneration of my back I could not lie down on my back anymore. I would be in pain.  I told him I have to sleep in a chair.  I was waiting on my next oil change to get it on a lift to drill the hole in the cab for the wires.I had already run the cable to the back of the extended cab and I had all the parts, tools and supplies to run and attach the cable and had already mounted the rear camera.  All he had to do was get under the truck, drill a hole and run the cable back.While he was running the cable, I was taking off the tailgate opening device (latch) so I could get my hand in there to fish the cable.  We were like a well oiled machine!  He would ask for a tool and I had it.  We took the tailgate off and I brought out my orange fiberglass fish stick and some electrical tape.  He stuck the fish stick through the tailgate and we put the tail gate back on. He then got back under the truck and taped the end of the cable he just ran on to the stick and pulled it through to the camera.After I hooked up the camera he used the test light I brought out and together we found the backup light wire.  He stripped the wire and a little solder and heat shrink he attached the camera switch wire and now I have a grid I can use backing up the truck without having to twist my back turning around while in reverse.  That feature is going to be really nice to use.[USER=15054]@swampratt[/USER] tied up the cable with the zipties I had and siliconed the hole he drilled to run the cable.  I thanked him again and we lied some more to each other and he left.</blockquote>
