Drove the truck to work yesterday and the exhaust hangers broke! So i ended up dragging it around part way to work...What part I dont know because I didnt notice until i got there.... Eitherway, I had a clothes hanger and a Fence tie that held it up until i got her home. Bought new hangers to install over the weekend...Sheesh...Rust Buckets

JRANGER · 08-05-2012, 10:26 PM

was able to get the top section on the outside wall up before rain hit and getting sick...

Then my mom stole my truck so she could go to lowes and get drywall for her house project lol

JRANGER · 08-06-2012, 09:36 PM

After work today i had enough time to finish the top of the other wall.. Now im ready for plywood... Too bad im broke lol Until next pay day

Awesome man and thanks!! So Medford huh? I was there last Summer to pick up a car my aunt left my mom...That was a heck of a road trip back!!! lol

JRANGER · 08-11-2012, 08:47 PM

Well did a few things on the workshop to get it ready for plywood next week. Simple stuff like additional cement anchor screws and adding an inside corner 2x4 to connect inner plywood/drywall to.

Then on to the truck....Went and go some fastener for the door panels but was out of luck so i could only install one door panel and order the other fastener set. Had to modify the window cranks to make them fit but i got them to...Dont like how they hold on so im adding holes to these stupid cranks to make them more solid otherwise they just wobble a bit...stupid stupid design

Also whats up with aftermarket door lock pins? 1/2" of screw and bam...your done...So now i have a 1/4" of screw showing at the bottom when unlocked? WTF!!!?!!! Now im going to have to cut off a 1/2" of that lock piece to make them fit nicely sheesh....Garbage

Billy81 · 08-11-2012, 10:38 PM

I was looking at a set of window cranks like those on Ebay but not so sure i want them now they had them in plain, red and blue. Looked cool but if they wobble it will just drive me nuts.

JRANGER · 08-11-2012, 10:57 PM

well what it is they didnt fit..SO i had to grind them out....I should of secured it in place before installing the door panel so ill let you know how the other piece fits...Probably will be better...Ill let you know my results

WarBeard · 08-12-2012, 12:12 AM

I just got back from Auto-zone. I bought a pair of door lock knobs and the package says if they don't fit they want you to actually cut the factory door lock rod down 1/4 of a inch at a time till they fit!!!!!

Hopefully the ones I got are long enough.

Yeah, just check...The back of mine say that too lol

WarBeard · 08-12-2012, 09:57 PM

The ones I bought fit well, they are made of metal with a little bit of wood trim. When unlocked the bottom is still below the door panel.

JRANGER · 08-12-2012, 01:56 PM

yeah dont buy those cranks...pieces of ****

JRANGER · 08-12-2012, 09:58 PM

well just brag why dont ya lol

WarBeard · 08-12-2012, 10:03 PM

These are replacing the ones I got from Classic industries. They were more expensive, made of plastic, were not threaded correctly, were to short and broke two days later.....

WarBeard · 08-12-2012, 10:06 PM

I figured it matched the wood on the dash.
