    What about the Marauder carpet tool/jack bag?

    NXSBOB -What about the Marauder carpet tool/jack bag?
    That would also fit in holder. *hint: Crown Victorias don't come with a carpet tool/jack bag.

    Put on the battery tender , filled the tank with 90 octane non ethanol fuel and bought parts to replace timing chain worn items with all Ford Racing parts.

    Damn Bob! I just saw your posts about your back surgery...are you doing ok? I hope everything works out for the best for you and the fam! I know there's probably not much (if anything) I can do to help you out, but don't hesitate to ask...I'll give it a try if I think I can...or something...I dunno...lol. I just feel bad for you after looking at the pics. Wishing you a speedy and full recovery!
    I tried to PM this message to you but got the warning that your box is full...is that what happens after you have surgery on your cervix (like Mr. Man said)?

    So got to messin' around with the junk in my trunk. Tried to figure out if I could take the trunk lid spoiler off, but the only bolts/screws I saw in the general vicinity of where the spoiler sits on the trunk lid are two 5/16", one on each side of the trunk lid. I loosened one to see what it would do and the spoiler remained intact...wouldn't budge at all..so I just tightened it back up and left it alone. After that I went through all the crap that I had accumulated in my trunk and found all kinds of bits 'n bobs 'n parts 'n pieces that had been sitting there for probably going on 5 years now. If you take a look at the picture I attached, even my cleaning supplies tried to escape due to lack of use...lol. Actually, it was just my McGuire's tire shine slooooowing leaking out of the bottle because it was sitting nearly upside down. Still have 1/3 of a bottle left and my hands looks nice 'n shiny after wiping it all up...lol. Gonna have nice weather after tomorrow for 4-5 days so will continue to clean 'er up and looking good again...

    Post a pic of the underside of your trunk and someone will tell you which screws to loosen for the spoiler.

    Next Wednesday marks 44 days in my rigid neck brace and “hopefully” the day my Surgeon allows the removal. Can’t lie, my butt hurts from sitting for weeks, my already bum lower discs are really starting to act up from non use, and can’t sleep.. But who’s complaining? Other than that I suppose life’s been great with no more left shoulder, arm, and hand nerve pain!

    There are 6-8 pre-cut holes in my trunk lid. I shined a flashlight in each one and the only ones that gave access to any screw heads were the last ones on each side of the lid. Went out and took a pic. Sorry it's blurry, but was kinda hard since I had to hold my phone with the screen pointing down and 1" above the trunk organizer cover panels in order to get most of the lid in the frame...took me 5 tries just to get the one I've uploaded.

    Good to hear Bob. Hopefully you'll be able to get out of what looks like a medieval torture device soon. If you need some cushion for your butt, I got plenty to spare and would gladly donate some for a transplant...lol.

    The hole you circled on the left has the 5/16" screw head visible as does it's counterpart on the other side of trunk lid. I looked in every single hole that was in close proximity to where the spoiler is mounted (just like the 2 holes with visible screw heads) with a flashlight and the holes on the far edge on each side of the trunk lid are the only ones where screw heads are visible. I looked twice at every single hole. With a flashlight. An LED super-bright flashlight. I loosened one of the screw heads and pushed on the spoiler to see if it would move and it didn't budge. I will go out and look again tomorrow, if it's not raining; forecast calling for 30% chance during the day, 40% in the afternoon/evening. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but today I only saw 2 holes with screw heads visible.

    Appreciate the help.

    The installation instructions may be (?) of some assistance in locating the mounting bolts... Submitted for your consideration:

    Thank you gdmjoe! Yes, the instructions paint the full picture now. I see they show 4 bolts and the use of adhesive tape; the tape would explain why mine wouldn't budge even after loosening one bolt. And I swear there are only 2 bolts on mine, not 4 as the instructions show. Like I mentioned earlier, I'll take another look tomorrow and will take pics of what I see and post up here.

    Since there is adhesive tape involved, I don't feel 100% comfortable trying to take it off. If I screw something up, I don't have the means to fix it. I plan on getting it repainted along with the bumper covers in the near future...was just wanting to take the spoiler piece first to see how good of a job the place does. I've got other things that need $$$ to fix so this will need to wait for a bit.

    Use a heat gun to soften the tape and adhesive it it'll come off successfully.
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard
