So was talking to the ole lady about making her a new shift boot cover and figured id seek an opportunity for her to make some money from home....she wants to make a pink boot cover for her dry rotten leather cover out of pink camo and a cover for the plastic pieces that go cross truck where the dome light is between the driver and passenger...we don't have pics yet but figured if people would be interested and if so if they could post pics...I'm just feeling out how well we need to do our execution and if there is any interest in the community...I plan on cloth material over another leather type cover or just a leather material Thoughts? Opinions? Interest?

Gotcha...mine is starting to get stupid again but I think I've damaged the clock spring since I never put the wheel on straight

U can just replace the lil copper contacts in the clock spring....or find my write up about spacing the clock ring...pull the back cover of the steering wheel off and I bet there's shavings everywhere...my cruise stopped then my horn stopped....

Oh I freaked out....its just amazing what people will do....that was just a time bomb....we got lucky

No joke....completely want to find the moron who did this and kick them in the nuts

I &^%*ing win

The top 2-3 coils on the Nissan aren't really active coils unless offroading and then really the top 2 coils aren't but you could almost check how you are adjusting the spring rate http://www.engineersedge.com/spring_comp_calc_k.htm

Yea all your fault...not readying the sarcasm through the text....what the hell man? Nah wouldn't ever take anything away from Steve...he's a cool guy...disappointed I won't have the chance to wheel and have a beer with him at Moab this year

1ST scratch....thank u carbide circular saw blade...

I'm not taking away...just saying that he's wheeled his ass off with a 35 on a stock carrier...it was like the 3rd post to answer the OP about 35s...it was sarcasm

I guess steve doesn't wheel hard enough then ...he didn't develop the rear 4 link and wheel it hard

Also r u running rs9000 shocks...BC the shock will severely impact ride...take the shocks off and drive it and see how it feels...it'll be more bouncy but u can def see if the dampener rate is too high

Actually cutting the spring won't make it stiffer since the spring rate is linear...it just means you can bottom out earlier....the AC could don't have dual stages (different coil rate) so therefore u can cut and adjust the height

Do that or cut off 1/4 coil of the AC at a time until u get the lift u want...or ride for 2-3 weeks with 400lbs of stuff in the back and they will sag

Was going to gulches this weekend but the rock jumpers event but its been canceled due to rain...I may try to fix my LCA'S this weekend and next weekend make a run to Durhamtown to check those guys out...def planning on a URE run in 2-3 months...will post up...probably will avoid the NOAS run

Steve has had a 35 on his since he SASd it I believe...don't recall him having any issues

2 gallons of clear was 200$...2 gallons of the grey was like $160...spent $20 on 2 roller/brush/ pan combos...I got OSR (oil stain remover) for like $30 then I got 3 gallons of bond lock cleaner but I didn't realize that comes in the kit of grey epoxy...so it could be done for like $400 It takes 24 hrs to do the bond loc....then the grey epoxy has to cure for 24 hrs before the clear can go on and 24 hrs for the clear to cure to foot traffic and 72 hrs for vehicle traffic depending on temperatures... Changed through oil in the Tacoma tonight and wiping up the little bit of oil spilled was awesome

U obviously don't know me....if u piss me off enough to pull a valve stem...I sure as @!*% don't want u to refill it...I want u to call a professional to tell u u r missing a $0.02 part on all 4 or 5 wheels...if u r gonna do it do it right and Id rather give some stems than a new tire (slashed it) BC at that point its non destructive...

This is why I thought it was awesome.....I wish they didnt whistle so loud.....

_ Half of.it closed up...water jetted metal edge...18v drill...drill bit snagging and my hand taking the brunt of it...

Magnets don't work for aluminum shavings...or stainless for that matter but yea the magnet this works good if its not stuck and just floating

I learned the q-tip thing from a guy that worked for Aero union...he was drilling upside down and it got between his glasses...he couldn't get it out so I had to use the q-tip while he held his eye open...it was crazy but we got it...I have used it one time since then

So I just finished epoxying the garage and don't have kerosene or acetone here at the house so I grabbed some fingernail polish remover to clean up...between the long hours...beer and fumes this topic is the result... Another one i use is Q-tips...if u get a metal shard in hire eye...fluff the tip of a Q-tip up and barely touch the metal with ure eye held open...works kinda like Velcro where the shard is rough and the cotton grabs it... I knew a guy who kept unscented tampons in his box for nose bleeds and soaking up lots of blood if u cut/smashed or did something else to make u leak all over the place....hey that's what they were developed for right? Curious if anyone else has other products that work in the garage and/or are kept in their tool box

Drying...I mean curing
