what did you get done (to your truck) this weekend?

[Longhorn Man]

Been a while since I've seen this title come up... used to happen every sunday.
I only had a few hrs on saturday since I had my son this weekend, but, I (finally) carpeted the rear cargo area. I've had the carpet for a year and a half... just never got around to it. Still a few things I want to do to finish it off, bit it looks a LOT better than bare yellow wood.

Yeah... I've been rollin it like this pretty much since I got it;


The tail gate, it came with the burb when i got it almost 2 years ago. I originally planned on making it nice first, but the squeeking and rattles from the old one were driving me insane, so i swapped it out.
The funny part, when i shined the flashlight inside to see what the rist level was on the inside.... I discovered a sponge... like 1/2 of a car wash sponge. I called CG, he didn't know anything about it... musta been from the member he got it off of?


Yep... another color added to the carnival ride.


I was rather shocked... the weatherstripping on the tailgate is held on with two real small phillips screws, and then glued on all around. Not only did the 2 screws come out with NO problem, but the seal came off with minimal damage that I was able to repair.

Now, I only hear a squeek once in a while on the freeway, the gate and hatch close so tight now, that with any luck, it won't leak any water anymore. (haven't washed it yet)

Please forgive the crappy photos... cell phone camera.
