Anyone know what kind of rivets or bolts hold the tailgate to the tailgate 2 hinges? I'm referring to the side of the hinge connected to tailgate, not hinge side that connects to the body with the 3 larger bolts.
I looked up the rivnuts for the rear water and gas trays in the rear. As per the TM rivnut part number als-1024-225 has a grip range of .130 to .225
Is the rear floor actually that thick? I measured a piece of fender I cut out(just installed m1151 style ac vents) and it measured .083 in...
Is there a list anywhere that tells you what equipment is ok to buy and sell and what isn't? I'm interested in a rt-1439 and from what I read here it sounds ok to own one of these but where officially can I check?
I'm investigating Sherwin Williams carc paint at http://oem.sherwin-williams.com/products/metal/military-coatings/
I didn't realize there was so many choices. Im looking for 383 green for now as I'm doing the interior. I've read posts on type 2 and type 9. Can someone tell me the difference...
Anyone out there with experience using alodine to prep their bare aluminum? I used alodine on some bare aluminum plate pieces I cut to reinforce my rear late style seat bases. Cleaned bare aluminum with water, then alcohol, then soaked in alodine for 10 minutes, then rinsed with water and...
Anyone know what will remove the hard glue residue that's seals things up between the body panels? I removed my rear seat bases and want to clean things up before painting the areas that are bare aluminum now.
I've followed the instructions included with the kit to install the drivers highback front seat. It uses a reference point of 3.25" from the rear set of old rivet holes from the old base that gets removed. I haven't bolted/drilled anything too permanent in the floor yet though. Has anyone...
Has anyone done this install recently? I have the wedges, seat bases, seats. I wasn't sure what plates and hardware I needed to secure them to the truck. In the TM I only saw a couple bolts but I assume it would have similar plates like the drivers front upgraded seat has.
I was wondering if those of you with xdoors could share what shims you have in the doors to make them close properly. Mine have 1/16" shims on exterior side of door hinges (see pic)
And an 1/8" shim inside beside door latch plus another backer plate somewhere between 1/16" and 1/8"(see pic)...
I'm planning out my body harness install(ecv style). From my research on the forums sounds like I have to lift the body. How many inches would I need to lift it up? Just to get fully above the frame rail? I was just thinking of lifting it up and setting on some wood(between body mounts and...
Anyone know the part numbers for the hardware for bolting the rear late style seat bases in to the floor? If I remember correctly they're similar to the front drivers highback seat kit but with a different spacing.
Is there any benefit to putting in the ecv body harness in first or should I put the turbo engine in first? Or will the truck be 100% out of commission until both are in? I wasn't sure how compatible older harnesses are.
