So I can’t find a place to sand my truck. We just moved so I have no real friends or know anyplace that would work.
truly how dangerous is the dust days and weeks after sanding? My kids rarely play in the front yard, so I could do it there. On a windy day maybe it largely blows away...
Is this the 12 v box you all are referring to? It looks like there’s (3) 25 amp fuses and (1) 15 amp fuse. It looks like there’s 3studs for 3 25 amp circuits. I’m not sure what that re-set button is or those other studs on the side. Everything in the box is coded red for hot and I’m not seeing a...
If anyone happens to win that truck, I’d buy the tire carrier from you. I was planning on building one like it some day and it would safe me the trouble.
Mogman did a cool write up.

The 6l90 is stouter as I understand it, but the output shaft won’t mate with the stock transfer case, whereas the 6l80 does.
What dimensions are you looking for? Also please share the link to the aftermarket bases.
At the mounting holes, the base is 7.75” high at the back and 9.75” high at the front.
The mounting holes to the floor are 13 7/8” on center wide (they are slotted) and 9 5/8” front to back.
they are...
And here is the issues I have with the rear doors…. The top is a 1/2” wider than the C pillar, so the “jamb” on the top is 1/4” wider than the “jamb” of the c Pillar. It would be impossible for the doors to shut tightly against the C pillar as they bottom out along the roof first.
Here’s some more shots of where water comes in. Some is minor wetting I won’t worry about, others it’s a flood. lots of the problems are around the doors- is it a fools errand to get the doors to seal nice and tight?
I’m probably going to have the top modified and welded so that the giant...
Those go to the top of the shoulder - no head rest.
I'm going to be listing my OEM high back seats from the 1165 in the classifieds if anyone is interested.
EDIT: never mind, i guess only premium subscribers can post ads. Sorry if I violated a rule by leaving this up
Yes mine is the plug.
Are you having the whole back wall sprayed down into the bed too? That’s what I’m thinking of doing, but some of the gaps between metal, with rubber or foam seals, are quite wide. I wasn’t sure if the bedliner material would span that without cracking
I don’t know what to do. there’s no TM for this roof I can find, and it seems like a poor design for water run off in general, lots of holes, gaps at the corners, no drip rails on the sides like the original 1045 roofs, etc.
There’s like 30ish bolt holes in the roof and I’m not sure if it comes...
Mine is crumbling away too, messy stuff. I am going to try and preserve the outer layer to use as a template for cutting the new material.
I had thought about using some kind of foam but that could be squeaky. This mineral wool stuff is great for sound, repeals water, and could work...
I went out in the dark but this is what I could get:
2 shots show the passenger seat getting wet on the tunnel side. It must be soaked from the roof but I haven’t seen any obvious spot it’s coming from.
one shot is near the rear wheel well, it’s leaking real low, and the foam gasket To the...
What’s a good quality sealant?
The top inside edge if the passenger seat gets soaked. And water comes in the rear corners, behind where it could get to if it snuck in the doors.
if someone could explain what all these different types of Seam sealer are that would be helpful. I think I’ll...
