Heading up to Hood tomorrow to help a friend recover one. Fingers crossed it goes as easy as the last one. At least he'll be driving it not meGood idea r thanks, will give it a try after I get the second 923 from Ft. Hood this week.
Thank you sir!Nicely done SilverState55!
NICE!Almost forgot, I bought a complete winch setup.
Look good. I believe there's a rod that goes from the door through the jam and into the small vent door on the side. You can add a piece of rubber to the end to take up some room so it doesn't open quite so far. A piece may have been there originally but corroded over time.I got tired of continually having to reposition my mirrors every time I opened the driver's door too far...where the mirrors are is perfect for me while driving, so I made a little bumper out of a leftover bracket and cut-down exhaust hanger rubber isolator. I cut the rubber isolator in half (and trimmed it to fit), drilled 2 holes for machine screws to fit through, and bolted them in place. I still need to mask & paint everything, but it works great and I don't have to mess with my mirrors anymore; they stay set where I want them. Now I need to do one for the passenger side...
I also had issues with the long threaded 1/4-inch rod that held the mirrors together...when I got the truck both sides were seized with rust, and one broke off when I was trying to adjust it. So, I removed both, drilled everything out to 5/16-inch, and replaced both sides with stainless steel threaded rod & stainless nuts. MUCH BETTER.
